Xue Zhan couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.
When the four of them received Xue Zhan's confirmation, their expressions changed. Among them, Yao Ling was the most anxious. "No, I have to persuade Senior Brother Yan. This is too reckless. Senior Brother Xue, are Senior Brother Yan here?"
A trace of hesitation flashed across Xue Zhan's face, but it made Situ Xue beside him anxious. "Senior Brother Xue, please tell us where Brother Li is, right?"
Because he was too nervous, Situ Xue stopped calling him "Senior Brother Yan" and called him "Brother Li" instead.
"Yes! Senior Brother Xue, tell us the whereabouts of Senior Brother Yan!" Lin Wen and Lin Wu also said anxiously.
The nervous and anxious look of the four of them made Xue Zhan feel relieved, "You don't have to worry, Senior Brother Yan is in retreat!"
"No matter how long it has been to be in seclusion! I'll go talk to him and make sure he cancels this competition!"
As she spoke, Yao Ling was about to rush to Yanli's wing, but was stopped by Xue Zhan, "Junior Sister Yao, Senior Brother Yan told me before he retreated, no one can disturb him."
Yao Ling's pretty face turned cold and she said resolutely, "No, I must stop him. Ye Tianyu is a Yuan realm warrior. Isn't Senior Brother Yan seeking death by competing with him? Xue Zhan, get out of the way. Don't you want to harm Senior Brother Yan?"
Seeing that Yao Ling had misunderstood him, Xue Zhan couldn't help but explain, "Junior sister Yao, how could you think so? I respect senior brother Yan so much, how could I harm him!"
Yao Ling sneered and said, "Since you don't want to harm Senior Brother Yan, get out of the way! Lin Wen, Lin Wu, help me stop Xue Zhan, while Junior Sister Situ and I go to see Senior Brother Yan!"
"Wait, I have something to say." Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Xue Zhan decided to reveal the truth to them.
Seeing that the four people's eyes were on him, Xue Zhan slowly said, "Senior Brother Yan told me before he retreated that he was sure to break through the Yuan realm this time!"
"What? Break through the Yuan Realm!"
When the four of them heard this, they all looked surprised. If Senior Brother Yan could break through before the competition, he might not be able to defeat Ye Tianyu.
"Wow, that's great! Senior Brother Yan is simply a genius!" Situ Xue couldn't help but praise.
"Hush! Don't tell anyone about this beforehand. We'll wait until Senior Brother Yan comes out of seclusion." Xue Zhan was worried that the four people would leak the news, so he quickly reminded him with a solemn expression.
In the wing room.
Yan Li has been fully immersed in cultivation. Under his attention, the vitality of Dantian has become extremely thick. He only needs to control them to form cyclones. Multiple cyclones can form a cycle, which is the sea of qi.
This is the realm of Ning Yuan.
It is simple to say, but it is really not easy to do, because the vitality in the Dantian can not be completely controlled after only simple refining.
Building a cyclone requires the exquisite cooperation of Yuan Qi. If there is a slight deviation, the success will fall short. Otherwise, there will not be so many Qi refining warriors who will stay at the Great Perfection of Qi refining throughout their lives and be unable to enter the Yuan realm.
Under the guidance of Yan Li's mind, the vitality began to rotate slowly. He had a breakthrough experience in his previous life, and his three souls were integrated into one, and his mind was strong. Therefore, it was quite easy to control the vitality. Otherwise, he would not have dared. If you make bold statements, you will be able to break through to the Yuan realm within three days.
As time passed, Yanli's Dantian also began to change, and a cyclone gradually took shape.
Finally, two hours later, a cyclone the size of a thumb took shape in Yanli's dantian. However, he did not relax and continued to condense the second cyclone.
The sea of qi is composed of multiple cyclones. Generally, warriors will condense three cyclones to build the sea of qi, because the triangle is more stable.
However, some geniuses who are born with powerful dantians, absorb enough vitality, and have unparalleled qualifications will choose to use five, seven, or nine to build a sea of qi.
The more cyclones there are, the stronger the Qi sea is built, and it will be able to absorb more vitality in the future. In the previous life, Yanli possessed Liang Chen and built five cyclones after breaking through the Yuan realm.
In this life, his talent and mental strength are far greater than those in his previous life, so he plans to condense nine cyclones to build a sea of qi. If he succeeds, he will be three times more powerful than the average Condensing Yuan Realm warrior.
Time passes again…
On the fifth hour of Yanli's retreat, the second cyclone successfully condensed and took shape. For a moment, he was a little excited, and he continued to concentrate for a moment.
Outside the wing, Xue Zhan and five others worked together to protect Yan Li, waiting for him to break through. However, the entire outer gate of the Great Wilderness Palace became lively.
At Ye Tianyu's signal, the news that Yan Li challenged Ye Tianyu and would duel with him in the ring three days later spread throughout the outer sect in just a few hours.
The outer disciples take the initiative to challenge the inner disciples
Upon hearing the news, everyone's first reaction was that Yan Li was overestimating his abilities, but then they began to inquire about who Yan Li was.
Soon, Yan Li's deeds were searched out by interested people and made public to the world: Yan Li, a descendant of the Yan family of a small family, was fourteen years old. He had just joined the Great Desolate Palace for less than three days. He had passed the second level of the entrance trial. Climb the eighteenth step on the ladder to heaven.
"Hmph, that Yan Li is really arrogant? Does he think that just by climbing the eighteenth step of the ladder, he is qualified to challenge Yuanjing warriors? He really overestimates his abilities!"
"That's right! I think he is overconfident! He really treats himself like a piece of cake!"
"I think he is humiliating himself and embarrassing our outer disciples!"
… …
Various opinions spread among the outer disciples, but most people were not optimistic about Yan Li. Only a small number of people thought that his courage was commendable, but they did not think that he could defeat Ye Tianyu.
The courtyard where Lin Jingyun lives.
When he heard the news, he was quite surprised. He did not expect that Yan Li would have the courage to challenge Ye Tianyu. However, hearing those words that disparaged Yan Li made him feel uncomfortable for some reason.
"Yan Li, I hope you won't disappoint me! Otherwise, you are not qualified to be my opponent!"
One day later.
The news that Yan Li challenged Ye Tianyu spread more and more widely, and even many inner disciples began to pay attention to the matter.
Three or five inner disciples gathered together.
One of them said, "Ye Tianyu is really getting better and better, and he is actually competing with an outer disciple!"
Another person made an excuse and said, "Senior Brother Zuo Han, you don't know something. I found out that the outer disciple named Yan Li gave Ye Tianyu's younger brother Ye Yun a good beating!"
Zuo Han showed an expression of sudden realization, "I see, I hope that Yan Li is not too weak. It is best if he can persist in a few more moves before defeating!"
"Why, Senior Brother Zuo Han is also interested in this matter! How about the two of us open a bank?"
"What a great idea! Then let's open a bank!"
Soon, news came out that inner disciples Zuo Han and Wang Ziming came to the village to make a bet on the competition between Ye Tianyu and Yan Li, with odds of one to ten.
Some people who like gambling placed bets one after another, but most of them bought Ye Tianyu, and only a very small number of people bought Yanli.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and there are only two hours left before the competition.
In the side room, Yan Li was still practicing with his eyes closed, his mind sinking into his dantian. At this moment, eight cyclones had condensed in his dantian, leaving only the last one to gather into nine, forming a sea of qi.
But the terrible thing is that the energy in his Dantian has been exhausted and he cannot condense the ninth cyclone.
ps: Inner disciples Zuo Han and Wang Ziming are both book friends.
