Cultivation Room, the expressions of the group of Third-Tier martial artists were all incredibly interesting.
Before them stood a robust young man, his breath fading and his chest sunken.
Behind them stood a tall woman with a mouthful of broken teeth and a face covered in blood.
These two geniuses, renowned at Fengyun University, now looked so miserable that it was unbearable to look at them.
The breathing of all the Third-Tier martial artists was extremely rapid, and their eyes flashed with horror as they looked at the Cultivation Room.
At Fengyun University, whether based on daily performance or the Martial Arts Level displayed, anyone who can make it onto the Fengyun Ranking is considered a genius among ordinary martial artists, one in ten thousand.
As for the top ten, they are all undeniably exceptional geniuses, one in a million. For example, the third-ranked Heavenly Sun Saint Son secured his third-place position by venturing alone into a mid-level Secret Realm and slaying three fourth-tier Mutant Beast.
Zhao Lanhai and Xu Ying in front of them weren't that terrifying, but they were still figures that ordinary Third-Tier cultivators would fear.
Now, these two powerful figures whom they usually admired were beaten to a pulp by the same person in less than five minutes, with no chance to fight back at all.
It's really... unacceptable.
What's going on with this world?
"Miss, may I ask what the name of this gentleman from earlier is?"
A Third-Tier martial artist asked the receptionist, his face still showing lingering shock.
"This..."
The receptionist said with a wry smile, "You should ask him yourself. I'm leaving now."
"Miss, please help us! We're really worried we might upset this gentleman one day." The Third-Tier martial artist cupped his hands in greeting, his breathing heavy.
The other Third-Tier martial artists also looked over expectantly.
"... Ye Li, Ye as in leaf, Li as in etiquette."
The receptionist took a deep breath and said slowly, "Also, these two students were very rude to Ye Li earlier. I hope this helps you."
That's all I can say. Excuse me.
After saying that, she called over her colleague at the front desk, who quickly carried the two people off the ground and left the place.
"Ye Li..."
The Third-Tier martial artist swallowed hard, glancing warily at the closed Cultivation Room.
Even if you told him that the other party was some old monster from one of the Three Sects and Six Schools who had the art of preserving youth, he would believe it without a doubt.
Fortunately, I don't have the bad habit of hoarding public resources.
That's terrifying, bro.
If I ever see this name on the match schedule again, I must withdraw from the competition on the spot. I believe my Instructor will understand.
The Cultivation Room.
Ye Li sat cross-legged, looking at the light screen that appeared before him.
[You have been detected to have publicly defeated and humiliated Xu Ying, who is ranked fourteenth on the Fengyun Ranking. Your Malice Points has been increased by 3000!]
[Detected that you publicly defeated Zhao Lanhai, ranked twelfth on the Fengyun Ranking. Malice Points +2000!]
[Current Malice Points: Points]
The returns are so-so.
Moreover, it seems that because of the lack of a humiliating element, Zhao Lanhai's earnings were not as high as Xu Ying's; she should be more careful next time.
Was I perhaps blown away by the Yang family's enormous income?
Ye Li sighed.
I guess I still need to find a reason to take down all the top ten on the Fengyun Ranking.
As his thoughts raced, he took out the two martial arts techniques Lin Yinyun had given him from his storage ring.
After a quick glance, the relevant text appeared on the panel.
[Shadow Blending Breath Concealment Technique (Beginner)]
[Third-Tier Precious Martial Skill: Sun-Chasing Wind-Riding Steps (Beginner)]
Two martial arts techniques, one of them doesn't even have a realm prefix?
Is it a classic text on similar techniques...?
Ye Li pondered the reasons, and after a brief review, he roughly understood the functions of the two martial arts techniques.
The former is a technique that can conceal one's aura and eliminate any overflowing energy. It is mostly used in missions that require stealth and assassination.
Ye Li did not believe he would have any need for assassination or stealth in the future.
So, I'm a bit conflicted about whether or not to fill it up completely.
Although the assassination mission is unavoidable, I can transform into a berserker and kill everyone who sees me, thus achieving a safe infiltration, right?
As for the latter, as Lin Yinyun said, it is a martial art used for long-distance travel.
Its essence lies in riding the strong winds and chasing the blazing sun; the effect will be even greater when it is performed on a hot, sunny day.
Although Ye Li's running speed can reach the speed of sound, that is a burst of speed in an instant, which Taiyi as long-distance travel.
This door will come in handy.
After finalizing his idea, Ye Li had a thought, and a torrent of Malice Points poured into the panel.
[Bite!]
[Continuously consuming Malice Points, beginning to upgrade the Third-Tier Precious Martial Skill: Sun-Chasing Wind-Riding Steps]
[You have broken through the Heavenly Barrier and connected with Heaven and Earth. Your understanding of martial arts is now vastly different. This Third-Tier- tier Premium Martial Skill, in your eyes, is far less difficult than the Heavenly Dipper Void-Treading Technique of yesteryear...]
[Gain buff: Cultivation speed increased by 500%!]
[You are now under the canopy of the Seventh Tier Treasure Medicine, the Enlightenment Tree, where your martial arts training will be twice as effective...]
[Gain a buff: Reduces the cost of upgrades by 30%!]
[After consuming 2000 points of Malice Points, you will have mastered the "Sun-Chasing Wind-Riding Steps" technique. With a thought, you can ride the wind and go wherever you want.]
[Third-Tier Precious Martial Skill: Sun-Chasing Wind-Riding Steps (Perfect)]
"Seventh Tier Treasure Medicine?"
Ye Li put away the panel and looked at the text on it with some surprise.
Just then, the gold medal at his waist suddenly vibrated slightly.
