Xiao Ye advanced through the Taiyi Palace and when he passed by the Emperor Valley again, he proceeded with caution and finally returned to the entrance of the space where the Earth Hall was located.
Xiao Ye recalled the method Tian Jiu had taught him to open the Space Gate and took out the identity token of a disciple of the Earth Hall from his arms, while his hands formed a rather complex Seal Technique.
Suddenly, a mysterious aura descended from the sky. After sweeping over the identity token in Xiao Ye’s hand, the void in front of him began to tremble, ripples spread out in circles, and then dipped inwards, forming a huge Space Rift.
Xiao Ye soared into the sky and plunged into the Space Rift.
When the intense light dissipated, Xiao Ye had already arrived in the space of the Earth Hall.
Just like the last time, it was rare to see disciples here as most were in the midst of Cultivation or had gone out for training. In such an environment, no disciple would want to waste time and be content with lagging behind.
"In the living quarters for the disciples of the Yellow Hall, there is a special Array to accelerate the absorption of Primordial Stones. Surely, this place must have one too," Xiao Ye scanned his surroundings and thought to himself.
For him, the most important thing now was to consolidate his Realm.
He had only just ascended to King Martial, first by forming a King Body, and then in one breath, he transformed all four Cave Heavens into King Realms. His realm was not stable yet, and he had to firm it up before making a charge toward an even higher Realm.
"There is also the King Martial Scroll of the Four Emperor Skills; I need to hurry up and understand it, otherwise, my Cultivation won’t improve," Xiao Ye made up his mind. He planned to stabilize his Cultivation at his residence first, and then try to explore the King Martial Scroll of the Four Emperor Skills.
His path was the Fusion Emperor Road. Only the Four Emperor Skills were useful to him; any other Cultivation Technique would not be enough to enhance his Cultivation.
Two days later, he would go looking for Elder Yang to see what kind of formidable life-saving methods the other party would impart to him.
"As for going out for experience, I am equally looking forward to it. I hope to witness the vastness of Central State then!" Xiao Ye’s eyes gleamed with Divine Light. Even though he knew that going out for training this time would definitely be dangerous, he was still very excited.
Because here, in Central State, a place on the True Spirit Continent where geniuses and monsters had emerged in history and where powers like the Human Race Four Emperors were born, which Martial Artist wouldn’t yearn for it?
Just as Xiao Ye was walking towards his residence while pondering—
A majestic Handprint descended from the sky, filled with vast Suppression, like a Divine Punishment plummeting toward Xiao Ye.
"Huh?" Xiao Ye became alert, and his eyes turned icy cold.
Who had the audacity to attack him within the Earth Hall?
Xiao Ye stepped forward and the Grotto Heaven of Divine Fire automatically rose behind him. Swinging his fists, the Fire Attribute King Martial Power surged through the Nine Heavens, directly shattering the Handprint, while his own body trembled from the shock, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack and split.
"Who is it?" Xiao Ye shouted coldly, his gaze suddenly sharpening.
Not far away in mid-air, a rough-looking young man with a heavy saber on his back was standing with his arms crossed, watching him coldly. His dark pupils shot out two sharp Divine Radiance, as if they could cut through the void.
"Martial Break!" Xiao Ye’s pupils shrank as he saw the unfriendly approach of the other party, and his heart was put on guard.
"Senior Brother Wu," Xiao Ye asked coldly, "was your explanation to Elder Yang not clear enough, or is there something else you’d like to discuss?"
Martial Break made a move against him with clearly malicious intent, and given the opponent’s strong cultivation and the condensed King Body, he wasn’t an easy adversary.
"That is not the case." Martial Break, with his arms crossed, shook his head upon hearing this, "I was merely curious. Where does a new disciple who has just joined Earth Hall get the courage to ridicule me in front of Elder Yang?"
"That’s why I took the liberty of testing you. But it seems, Junior Brother Xiao Ye, your courage all stems from Elder Yang. Now that Elder Yang is not by your side, you’re showing your true colors."
Martial Break’s words were filled with contempt, obviously mocking Xiao Ye for riding on the majesty of Elder Yang.
"So, you’re out for revenge." Xiao Ye sneered inwardly.
The other party obviously had a petty grudge, seeking revenge for the verbal sarcasm earlier, yet they made it sound so righteous and even turned around to mock him. How laughable!
"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, I’ve heard that you were remarkably outstanding in the Earth Hall’s examination, earning a distinct look from our ten Law Enforcement Elders," Martial Break then said indifferently.
"But now, the ten Law Enforcement Elders have been summoned by the Holy Palace Master for a high-level Martial Arts Meeting and are not here. So, there is no one who can help you."
As he spoke, Martial Break stepped forward with his arms still crossed, the mockery on his face deepening.
"This means that I, Martial Break, can do whatever I want to you right now. Are you regretting using words against me in front of Elder Yang?" Martial Break sneered, feeling extremely pleased with himself after saying these words.
He had been holding back frustration in front of Elder Yang, and now he finally had the chance to take revenge.
"All ten Law Enforcement Elders are not in Earth Hall?" Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered, and he immediately disregarded it, instead, his gaze intensified, and a surging war intent burst forth from him.
He, Xiao Ye, had never felt fear due to the strength of an opponent.
What’s more, he just wanted to see how strong the disciples of Earth Hall really were?
After all, even if he lost to Martial Break in the Holy Palace, the other party wouldn’t dare to kill him, would they?
Martial Break was slightly stunned when he saw this, because he couldn’t find a trace of fear on Xiao Ye’s face, but rather he felt an overwhelming war intent.
A new disciple of Earth Hall dared to show war intent against him, Martial Break?
Due to the commotion here, many disciples of Earth Hall had taken notice and flocked this way, their eyes filled with curiosity as they sized up Xiao Ye and Martial Break.
Even Martial Break couldn’t maintain his dignity at this time.
After all, he was an old disciple of Earth Hall, and if he was seen bullying a new disciple, that would attract much criticism.
"Hmph, Senior Brother Lin Feng chose you, this wastrel, to venture out with us for training and to find a congratulatory gift. Now I’ll test your strength to see if you’re worthy, lest you embarrass our Holy Palace once we’re out," Martial Break quickly responded righteously.
