Watching Lei Huan's departing back, Yan Yi felt her vision grow increasingly blurry and her head grow heavier. Yet every wound on her body was releasing unbearable electric currents, and the pain was so intense that she couldn't even pass out. Instead, it made her thoughts increasingly clear.
She understood the background of this Brotherhood death warrior completely.
Unlike her, who needed the Divine Sub-Armament "Vortex" to produce lightning, Lei Huan commanded thunder through the Seven Emotions Combat Arts.
She had heard that certain martial artists could cross the "Emotion Stirred" threshold of the Seven Emotions Combat Arts, using emotional contamination of their Mental Power to gain abilities bordering on miracles. But Yan Yi had never encountered such a martial artist before. Even Cha Huan, Lou Yinhai, and the other Flame Capital martial pillars she knew weren't such people. Thus, Yan Yi had always thought it was merely a legend.
But she had been an outstanding graduate at the top of the Radiant Faction. Even though she didn't practice the Seven Emotions Combat Arts, she understood them thoroughly. She knew that crossing the "Emotion Stirred" threshold required one emotion to exceed the limits of what a human could endure. The simplest example was rage: the most common example in the Seven Emotions Combat Arts was a martial artist whose closest loved one had been killed, entering the Terrestrial Immortal realm in a single day through extreme fury.
Unless they crossed the Heart Dead Tribulation as well, Seven Emotions Martial Artists would almost always display emotions beyond those of ordinary people. If Yan Yi had guessed correctly, Lei Huan's strange and irrational behavior meant that he had crossed the "Emotion Stirred" Tribulation through emotions such as "arrogance" and "pride."
He was extremely fixated on whether his enemies had "fallen into fear."
