Ye Qiu strode forward, his fists clenched tightly beneath his sleeves, knuckles turning white. But as he walked, his fists gradually loosened.
It seemed everything had passed.
Completely passed.
He could feel that his heart had changed. Not that he had let go, but that he valued things more, yet without fear!
Ahead, another light portal appeared.
Ye Qiu walked into it. This place contained a platform.
The platform was empty.
Ye Qiu frowned.
Following that, he walked onto the platform. Instantly, the light in front flashed, and a figure materialized.
That figure wore purple robes, was tall and slender, with a handsome face, radiating a unique aura.
This aura was very special.
Divine?
No, it should be dazzling.
Upon seeing this person, one would naturally feel a sense of reverence.
But Ye Qiu's feelings quickly vanished, because the figure unleashed a powerful aura.
The aura turned into pressure, crushing down on Ye Qiu, like a great mountain, intending to suppress him, to make him kneel in submission.
To make him fearful!
This was meant to suppress his body and also to intimidate his heart!
It was just like when he was outside the Ye King's Mansion, resonating with the Ye King, that phantom figure intended to suppress him.
At this moment, this purple light phantom had a similar feel.
Swish--
The light phantom flashed and in the blink of an eye, it was before him. The immense pressure became even more vast.
The next moment, the light phantom threw a punch.
Ye Qiu was sent flying directly.
He landed outside the platform.
Gasp--
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Qiu focused his gaze, "Who is this?"
But clearly, no one answered him.
The Great Serpent didn't know.
He didn't recognize him either.
The next moment, Ye Qiu walked onto the platform again. As the purple light phantom approached, he threw a punch directly.
One Punch Breaks All Laws!
Boom--
A powerful sonic boom exploded. Following that, Ye Qiu's body was sent flying again, landing outside the platform.
He spat out a second mouthful of blood.
This person...
was somewhat different from the one outside the Ye King's Mansion.
Outside the Ye King's Mansion, it was just an aura.
But here, it was akin to a clone...
A very strong clone!
"Isn't this the Dao Heart Tower? Why did it set up a clone for me? Is it trying to make me defeat it to temper my heart?"
Ye Qiu asked.
The Great Serpent remained silent.
Ye Qiu tried for a third time, but the result was the same. The opponent's combat power was significantly higher than his.
Helpless, Ye Qiu could only retreat.
Continuing would only result in him getting beaten.
Leaving the Dao Heart Tower, a few people approached him. Leading them was a man in purple robes.
This man was tall and slender, with a handsome face, radiating a unique, outstanding aura.
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes. It was him!
The person on the stage!
"Are you Junior Sister Lu's fiancé?" the man walked over, a faint smile on his handsome face.
Ye Qiu looked at him and corrected, "Ye Qiu!"
The man smiled, his lips red and teeth white, his eyes clear, but the arrogance deep within his eyes, or rather, a kind of disdain and contempt for Ye Qiu, was striking.
The disciples behind him stepped forward with cold sneers, "Standing before you is South Province's number one prodigy, the Academy's chief disciple, the Chu family's Young Master, Chu Qianqiu!"
Chu Qianqiu!
Ye Qiu had an impression. He had shattered the purple-robed man's testicles and even killed him below West Mountain. He was from the Chu family. It seemed he had said his elder brother was Chu Qianqiu!
"Your cultivation is alright, your Qi and Blood are good," Chu Qianqiu said with a smile, not mentioning those matters.
But Ye Qiu didn't want to answer, nor would he. He hated the man's condescending critiques.
"However, you are not worthy of Lu Li." After saying that, Chu Qianqiu smiled and left directly.
It seemed he had come specifically to wait for Ye Qiu and show off.
Ye Qiu watched them leave, puzzled, "Why would his shadow be imprinted on the second level of the Dao Heart Pagoda?"
The Great Serpent said, "Perhaps he's the chief disciple, the leader among the disciples, so they use him to train the disciples."
"Or perhaps, he did it intentionally, leaving a clone there to suppress your Dao Heart!"
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes.
Then, he turned directly.
So he came to show off!
Suppress my Dao Heart?
And a clone!
He plunged directly into the second-level light gate, and then, he shot onto the stage. The purple figure reappeared.
Boom--
Ye Qiu threw a punch, clearly with some anger, causing the punch's power to seem to increase by a fraction.
But he couldn't shake it. He was once again sent flying by the purple-robed light projection.
Ye Qiu's expression remained unchanged. He got up, climbed onto the stage again, and threw another punch.
Like this, Once, twice, thrice...
He stayed there all night, continuously striking the shadow, each punch surpassing the last.
But after a night, he was still suppressed.
Even after another day passed, he was still suppressed.
It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Ye Qiu threw another punch, which clearly carried a brand new flavor.
The Qi was thicker, the intent more domineering!
Boom--
Fist against fist, he retreated, and the purple light projection also trembled.
Ye Qiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinned, and then charged forward again, his conviction in his heart unshakable.
Second punch!
Rumble--
The airwaves exploded. He retreated, and the purple robe trembled, also stepping back.
Boom--
Third punch.
He retreated, but the moment he retreated, he stomped his foot hard on the stage and charged out again.
Fourth punch, fifth punch, sixth punch...
As the ninth punch landed, his intent was more vigorous than ever. The purple-robed fist exploded with a boom, and the figure violently flew backward, then with a crash, completely shattered.
