Life Was Full of Tragedy

What is this energy node?

Yi Yun was stunned for a moment. The wild beast, the Scale Snake, was enormous, and its gall bladder was the size of a child's head. If he were to extract the energy from the Scale Bone Gall in such a methodical way, the bile inside would be enough to soak him through if the gall bladder exploded.

Could this be a trap set by Teacher Yue Hua...?

Yi Yun thought it was unlikely; even if Teacher Yue Hua was testing him, she shouldn't have done something like this.

At this moment, Yi Yun suddenly realized something. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and found that Luo Huo'er, who seemed to be slowly extracting energy, was actually glancing at him mischievously.

In this way, Yi Yun understood that this was Luo Huo'er's prank.

Yi Yun was speechless.

"That little girl, she really holds a grudge. I embarrassed her once, and she's already thinking of getting revenge by making me look bad too..."

"No wonder this girl greeted me so readily when we met today, and all these members of the Luo Huo Association are probably just 'audience' invited by Luo Huo'er..."

Luo Huo'er probably felt that it would be more fun for Yi Yun to embarrass himself in public; watching it alone wouldn't be satisfying.

These members of the Luo Huo Association had no idea what Luo Huo'er had done. They would most likely think that Yi Yun had made a mistake, which caused the Scale Bone Gall to explode.

These thoughts flashed through Yi Yun's mind in an instant; he understood everything perfectly.

So, Yi Yun calmly put the Scale Bone Gall back. Then he pretended to examine the other materials.

At this moment Luo Huo'er wasn't focused on energy extraction at all; she was secretly observing Yi Yun.

When Yi Yun picked up the Scale Bone Gall, she was excited and waiting to see a good show, but unexpectedly, the boy put the Scale Bone Gall back.

Then Yi Yun became increasingly dawdling, touching this material and looking at that material, seemingly with no intention of starting at all.

Luo Huo'er was getting impatient; she was the kind of person who couldn't hide anything on her mind.

"Why hasn't this brat made a move yet?"

Luo Huo'er was very annoyed. She patiently waited for a full quarter of an hour before Yi Yun finally began to extract energy.

Luo Huo'er's eyes lit up.

Hehe, the show's about to begin!

She couldn't wait to see Yi Yun covered in bile.

While keeping a close eye on Yi Yun, she pretended to go about her own business.

Yi Yun held the Scale Bone Gall in his hand, completely unaware of its unusual nature.

Yi Yun pondered for a moment, then began to inject his spiritual power into the Scale Bone Gall. He formed hand seals according to the method in the Yue Hua Blossom Notes, slowly drawing out the Savage Power from the Scale Bone Gall.

In fact, Yi Yun could extract the energy of the Desolate Bone without forming hand seals, but he still wanted to familiarize himself with everything in the Desolate Savage Heaven Technique, as this would help him understand Savage Heaven Technique.

"That silly boy. He really didn't find anything. I don't know how he got a perfect score in energy control by sheer luck. When it comes to manipulating energy, how could that silly boy possibly compare to me? I can easily give him a taste of his own medicine with a few simple tricks. Hehe, it's about to explode. That'll be so much fun..."

Luo Huo'er gloated. This energy trap was designed by her own hand, specifically tailor-made for Yi Yun. It must be said that Luo Huo'er was quite clever, and the energy trap she set was also very ingenious.

She brought so many spectators, all of them beautiful women, and made Yi Yun embarrass himself in front of them. Then, these girls would tell their best friends about Yi Yun's embarrassing moment, and even more people would know.

Thinking about all this made Luo Huo'er feel very satisfied. As for whether such a method of revenge was a bit childish, Luo Huo'er didn't care. This young lady is just that petty.

However... even after Yi Yun channeled his spiritual power into the Scale Bone Gall, a full five breaths passed, but the Scale Bone Gall did not explode.

Luo Huo'er was puzzled; what was going on?

This energy trap should have triggered immediately. Could it be that I miscalculated, or that disrupting the energy balance actually requires a short process?

Luo Huo'er was no longer sure if she had set a trap. She tried to comfort herself, continuing to wait patiently, but...

Ten breaths passed, and the Scale Bone Gall remained silent.

Twenty breaths... the Scale Bone Gall is still fine.

"What happened?"

Luo Huo'er was stunned. The energy trap she had personally set up was supposed to explode instantly, but twenty breaths had passed and it still hadn't detonated?

As thirty breaths passed, Yi Yun extracted more and more energy, which began to condense into patterns on a blank scroll, but the Scale Bone Gall was still firmly in Yi Yun's hand.

Luo Huo'er was dumbfounded. Could there be something wrong with the energy trap she had created?

Luo Huo'er, confident in her intelligence, felt she shouldn't have made such a mistake. However... the facts were undeniable.

She desperately hoped that the energy trap within the Scale Bone Gall was just stuck and would soon "work normally," but...

The time it takes for An Incense Stick has passed...

Luo Huo'er finally gave up completely.

"That brat is incredibly lucky!"

Luo Huo'er gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, seething with resentment. All she wanted to know was where her energy trap had gone wrong.

She mentally went through the entire process of figuring out the energy trap principle; there shouldn't be any problems...

Slowly, An Incense Stick's time passed, and Yi Yun had completed the extraction of the Savage Power from the Scale Bone Gall. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and put the Scale Bone Gall aside.

"That's all I can refine... My cultivation isn't high enough to extract all the Savage Power inside," Yi Yun said, feigning exhaustion. In reality, if Yi Yun used the Purple Crystal and went all out, no amount of Scale Bone Gall would be enough for him to refine.

"Oh? Miss Luo, why do you look so pale?"

Yi Yun looked at Luo Huo'er with a puzzled expression.

Luo Huo'er's face darkened. She couldn't understand why Yi Yun was always so lucky, managing to dodge everything.

"I'm fine," Luo Huo'er said curtly, no longer bothering to pursue the matter of Yi Yun not calling her "Senior Disciple Sister."

"Oh..." Yi Yun shrugged, ignoring Luo Huo'er, and said, "I've used up too much of my energy and need to replenish it. You guys continue."

As Yi Yun spoke, he walked to a corner of the hall, sat down cross-legged, swallowed a Bone Relic, closed his eyes, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

"This useless guy, he's out of stamina after refining so little energy..." Luo Huo'er thought to herself with contempt for Yi Yun, but what really annoyed her was that such a weakling could actually beat her!

After a slight hesitation, Luo Huo'er glanced at Yi Yun again and noticed that Yi Yun seemed to have cut off his senses.

In a safe environment, when martial artists meditate and regulate their breathing, they often cut off their senses and isolate themselves from the surrounding environment. This is when the effects of meditation and breathing regulation are most effective.

It seems that Yi Yun is in the same situation now.

Luo Huo'er swayed casually for a moment, making sure Yi Yun wasn't paying attention to her, then quickly walked to the stone table where Yi Yun had just extracted energy and picked up the Scale Bone Gall that Yi Yun had just been working with.

"Hey, miss, what are you doing...?"

Seeing Luo Huo'er's actions, Dong'er asked curiously.

"Shh!"

Luo Huo'er made a shushing gesture, then secretly glanced at Yi Yun to make sure he didn't react before starting to examine the Scale Bone Gall.

She now wants to know exactly where the energy trap in the Scale Bone Gall went wrong.

How could the trap she set, based on her masterful Savage Heaven Technique, not explode? Are you kidding me!

Could it be that the trap I designed contains a fundamental theoretical flaw?

If you have this kind of mistake and are unaware of it, that's dangerous. You never know when you might get into trouble because of this flawed theory!

Luo Huo'er calmed herself down and focused her mental energy into the Scale Bone Gall to examine its energy structure, trying to find out exactly where the error was.

In the Savage Heaven Technique, Luo Huo'er is someone who needs to understand everything.

However, the moment Luo Huo'er's mental energy came into contact with the energy trap, the energy balance was instantly broken, and the four kinds of Savage Power erupted wildly.

Swift as lightning!

"Boom!!"

Luo Huo'er was focused on finding the flaw in the energy trap. She never expected that Yi Yun's mental energy would be fine when it probed in, but the energy trap would explode as soon as her own mental energy made contact!

What kind of logic is this!?

The sudden explosion caught Luo Huo'er off guard. She leaped backward, but the green snake bile still gushed out under the force of the energy, soaking Luo Huo'er completely!

This was all part of Luo Huo'er's plan, intended to prevent Yi Yun from slipping away if he sensed something was wrong. But now, Luo Huo'er herself has fallen into the trap of all her schemes!

I wanted to cry but couldn't!

Luo Huo'er stood frozen in place, bile dripping from her body, her hair soaked, her clothes drenched, and her face a ghastly green, like a tabby cat that had fallen into a dirty ditch.

Luo Huo'er was completely petrified, standing there dumbfounded, her mind blank.

"Miss! Miss! What's wrong?"

Dong'er never expected that Luo Huo'er would suddenly explode just by picking up the Scale Bone Gall. The other members of the Luo Huo Association were also startled. They all stopped practicing the Savage Heaven Technique and rushed over to see if Luo Huo'er was alright.

"President, what's wrong?"

"Is the president alright?"

One by one, the girls asked with concern.

After hearing what these people said, Luo Huo'er really went mad. Can anyone tell me what's going on?!

At this moment, Yi Yun also stopped meditating because he heard the noise.

He walked over with a puzzled expression, squeezing into a group of beautiful young women, and looked at Luo Huo'er strangely, "Miss Luo, are you alright? Was there an explosion? What happened? Did the energy go out of control?"

When the Savage Heaven Master was refining the Savage Bone Relic, if he manipulated the energy, it could indeed cause an explosion, just like a pharmacist accidentally causing a furnace explosion while refining medicine.

However, only mediocre Desolate Savage Heaven Master would make such a basic mistake. For a skilled Savage Heaven Master, even if the refining of the Savage Bone Relic fails, they would not allow the energy to explode.

Luo Huo'er was certainly not a half-baked Savage Heaven Master; losing control of her energy would be utterly humiliating for her!

But now, besides the loss of energy control, what other explanation does she have?
