Three Seven Split

Ye Qiu rushed straight to the cultivation tower. To be honest, he thought his skin was quite thick.

Back in Nanshan, he hadn't teased the young girls much, even touched them a bit, it wasn't like he hadn't.

Weren't they all subdued by him?

Even if he was teased occasionally, he could handle it with a smile.

But, facing Lu Li, he didn't know why... he just couldn't get a handle on himself.

He felt it was because he was weak.

He couldn't beat Lu Li!

He lacked confidence!

Otherwise, he could have subdued her with one hand!

"Brother Ye, what's wrong?" Outside the tower area, Wu Xiaokai was walking out and ran into Ye Qiu.

Seeing his somber expression and cold eyes, he seemed to have encountered trouble.

Ye Qiu waved his hand: "I was teased!"

After speaking, he strode away.

Wu Xiaokai: "???"

Ye Qiu dove into the cultivation tower. This time, he went to the training tower, which had combat puppets.

First floor, second floor, third floor... After a day, Ye Qiu had fought his way to the seventh floor, clashing head-on with a giant, black puppet wielding a greatsword.

Boom boom boom--

The battle was fierce, the momentum immense. Ye Qiu's energy was abundant, and his fighting spirit grew bolder.

An hour later, he threw a punch, and the giant puppet, comparable to Half-step Gathering Law, exploded instantly!

He stopped, catching his breath, and Ye Qiu ascended to the eighth floor.

He fought again here.

This time, he was being suppressed.

The puppets here were already close to Law Gathering.

Their combat power was terrifying!

Ye Qiu retreated again and again, even his fists bled, and he coughed up blood, but he still charged forward madly.

He wanted to be strong, he wanted to be incredibly strong!

Boom boom boom--

Punch after punch, he forgot everything, immersed in the battle.

Brother Snake had said that if he couldn't find a way, he should fight fiercely and explore within the battle.

Perhaps, it could stimulate him to touch the door of intent!

Artistic Conception!

He wanted to comprehend Artistic Conception!

His fists became faster and fiercer. In the end, every punch he threw resounded like thunder.

Along with it, the energy around him rapidly condensed, becoming terrifyingly dense.

Under this terrifying density, Ye Qiu's punches seemed to undergo a qualitative change.

Suddenly, he felt something.

Boom--

He threw a punch. Originally, the puppet had easily crushed him, but now, his punch was faintly holding its own.

A taste!

This taste...

Boom--

Without hesitation, he attacked again, grasping that feeling, searching for that taste, making it richer, more intense, like a blazing flame!

The puppet was retreating!

Boom--

As it retreated, a unique aura emanated from Ye Qiu, faintly seeming to glow.

"Brother Snake, is this intent?"

Brother Snake said heavily, "Yes!"

His voice was filled with surprise!

He had truly found it.

So fast?

Terrifying!

But Ye Qiu didn't stop. Instead, he charged forward again, maintaining that surge of energy and holding onto that feeling.

One punch, two punches, three punches... one hundred punches!

BOOM--

Ahead, the massive puppet exploded on the spot as the hundredth punch landed!

Ye Qiu retreated, stabilized his breathing, and closed his eyes.

At this moment, he was like a solid rock.

His aura dispersed.

His breathing vanished.

But his body seemed to faintly emit a hazy light, yet upon closer inspection, there was no light at all.

It was very mysterious.

And at this moment, Ye Qiu also realized that he himself seemed to have changed slightly, understanding everything about himself more clearly.

He could stably control his breathing, blood flow... and mobilize his own power more freely.

This was... Spirit!

SWISH--

His eyes snapped open, sharp and piercing. Ye Qiu clenched his fist, and instantly, his entire body's strength surged into his fist.

In an instant, he mobilized his whole body.

Thought becomes action!

BOOM--

He threw a punch. The punch was silent, but as it landed, the air exploded, and power condensed into a single point.

SWISH--

He took a step, his body like a swimming dragon. His speed had increased dramatically compared to before.

As expected!

"This is the manifestation of intent, giving birth to a spirit, allowing for complete and meticulous control over oneself!"

"I feel terrifyingly strong now!"

He clenched his fist, then broke into a smile. It was now, even against an ordinary Law Gathering cultivator, he was confident he could crush them with one punch!

He asked in his heart, "Brother Snake, how am I against Lu Li now?"

Brother Snake replied, "You can go try."

This kid's progress is really fast, incredibly so. And, having comprehended Artistic Conception, he will undergo a massive sublimation!

His combat power is soaring!

Ye Qiu left the cultivation tower. As soon as he walked out, Wu Xiaokai rushed over, shouting, "Brother Ye, something's happened!"

Ye Qiu was in a great mood and waved his hand, "Calm down."

Wu Xiaokai said, "Sister-in-law is dueling someone!"

Ye Qiu glanced at him. Wu Xiaokai continued, "Sister-in-law has been overwhelming those direct descendants of the Ye Family these past few days. Some died in their dreams, some died on their way home, some... their bones are nowhere to be found..."

Ye Qiu blinked.

Wu Xiaokai said, "Right now, she's in the martial arts arena, fighting a core disciple, Zhao Yan!"

Zhao Yan, from the Royal Family's Zhao Family, is a Young Master, and ranks eighth among the Academy's top ten core disciples!

He seems to be that Wu Lan's fiancé...

And Lu Li, although the youngest disciple, she is probably the weakest core disciple in the Academy.

Ye Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go take a look."

The two moved extremely quickly and soon arrived at the massive martial arts arena in the southwest. Many people had already gathered there.

A core disciple battle, a rare sight!

Especially one like this, with real sabers and swords!
