Chapter 476: The Strong Should Possess More Resources!

"The barrier passage is open!"

"Just pass through the passage to enter!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The Cultivators suddenly became excited.

As long as they passed through that passage, they could enter a region in the middle of the Battle Heaven Ruins Barrier.

There was a Battle Qi Tower there, rumored to be a place specifically for Disciples of the Battle Heaven Hall to hone their actual combat abilities.

Every floor cleared could grant Battle Qi rewards; Battle Qi could significantly enhance a Cultivator's combat power and was one of the most attractive Opportunities in the Battle Heaven Ruins Barrier for Cultivators.

Countless Cultivators soared into the air, flying toward the passage like a plague of locusts.

Whoosh!

However, at this very moment, a stunning sword light illuminated the heavens and earth, carving a massive gully over ten miles long into the ground, separating countless Cultivators from the space passage.

The dense, locust-like figures suddenly stopped.

Countless gazes turned toward Ye Hanyou, who stood in the high sky holding a long sword, blocking the front of the space passage, filled with confusion.

"What is the meaning of this, Young Hall Master Ye?"

A Cultivator asked in a deep voice.

"Battle Qi is limited. Ordinary Cultivators should not enter, lest there be too many people to divide it, and no one will gain much benefit."

Ye Hanyou's faint voice spread throughout this sky.

The amount of Battle Qi was indeed fixed; as long as the Cultivators who successfully cleared the tower could receive a portion, the more people who cleared the tower, the less everyone would naturally get.

Once the Battle Qi was divided up, even if the tower was cleared successfully, there would be no more rewards.

After the barrier closed and another thirty years passed, the Battle Qi would be replenished to Perfection again.

"We are only entering the ordinary zone. The Battle Qi content there only accounts for thirty percent of the total, which will not affect Young Hall Master Ye!"

A Cultivator said loudly.

The Battle Qi Tower was divided into two parts: the ordinary zone and the Prodigy zone.

The Prodigy zone would simply test bone age and Realm to judge talent. Only those whose talent met the standard could enter the Prodigy zone, where the difficulty was very high, and the corresponding Battle Qi rewards were also greater.

The ordinary zone had no requirements for Cultivators; as long as you entered and successfully cleared the tower, you could obtain Battle Qi rewards.

Therefore, ordinary Cultivators entered the ordinary zone, and Prodigy Cultivators entered the Prodigy zone; the two sides did not conflict.

"If this Young Master says no, then it is no!"

Ye Hanyou stood in the high sky, his tone carrying an indisputable dominance.

Although the Battle Qi in the ordinary zone only accounted for thirty percent, if it could all fall into one person's hands, that was by no means a small number.

As for the Prodigy zone, firstly, the Prodigy zone would test bone age and Realm, and only those with standard talent were qualified to enter; this barrier alone would stop ninety-nine percent of people.

Secondly, Ye Hanyou was quite confident in his own talent and strength. Even if he competed with other Prodigies, he was not afraid at all, and he was also prepared to take this Opportunity to see the potential of Luo Li and Wei Qingyan.

He also wanted to let these two women who rejected him see just how terrifying he, this Prodigy born once in a millennium, truly was.

In the cultivation world, talent alone was not enough; background and resources were even more important. With the same talent, if there were not enough resources to support cultivation, one would also fade into the crowd, wasting time and talent.

Presumably, after seeing the benefits brought by showing his own talent and strong background through clearing the Battle Qi Tower, Luo Li and Wei Qingyan might change their minds.

"The Battle Heaven Ruins are originally ownerless things. Young Hall Master Ye blocking others' Opportunity, this move is too much!"

A Cultivator shouted in the crowd.

Ye Hanyou's gaze turned cold. He thrust his sword out, and the sword light pierced through the Void Realm, annihilating the Cultivator who spoke into powder.

The world went silent.

"Seizing Opportunity depends on one's own ability. As the Young Hall Master of the Extreme Yin Palace, are you not afraid that acting like this will incite the dissatisfaction of Cultivators throughout the world?!"

After a brief silence, another voice sounded in the crowd.

However, the person who spoke used some kind of Secret Art, making it very difficult to detect who said it.

"Heh!"

Ye Hanyou sneered and directly slashed with his sword at eight Cultivators in a certain location.

The astonishing sword light seemed to pierce through space, falling in an instant, killing all eight King Realm Cultivators, without a single one managing to escape.

All the Cultivators were terrified and dared not speak again.

"This Young Master is relying on his own ability!"

"Besides, even if you are dissatisfied with my Extreme Yin Palace, what can you do?"

"Whoever dares to nag again will meet the same end!"

Ye Hanyou stood in the air, looking down from above.

Clearly, there were Cultivators present whose strength was greater than his, but no one dared to speak out again.

Talking about relying on ability—if they weren't afraid of the Extreme Yin Palace behind him, Ye Hanyou would have already been hacked to death by numerous blades.

"If the Extreme Yin Palace's style of acting is all like Young Hall Master Ye's, then rejecting you was truly not wrong at all."

When everyone was silent, a faint voice resounded throughout this world.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Luo Li, with her silver hair fluttering, standing on the mountain peak like a Fairy from a heavenly palace.

The Cultivators were all shocked. This Fairy Luo was truly not afraid of the Extreme Yin Palace at all, actually daring to speak up at this time.

"What kind of once-in-a-millennium Prodigy? Relying on the Extreme Yin Palace and still daring to say you are relying on your own ability. Would someone with real ability be afraid of not being able to compete with others?"

Wei Qingyan hugged her broken sword, her cold voice also resounding throughout the world.

Su Xiaoyu beside her was astonished. She was still worried about Ye Hanyou's retaliation, but she didn't expect both Senior Sisters to be completely unafraid, daring to speak at this juncture.

Whether in terms of personal strength or the background of both sides, in the eyes of outsiders, both Luo Li and Wei Qingyan were far inferior to Ye Hanyou, but the two of them dared to stand out and speak up for justice at this critical moment, which made countless Cultivators overlook their beauty and think highly of them.

"Have you two really not figured out yet that this world ultimately relies on strength to speak?"

"The strong should possess more resources!"

"If Battle Qi is divided and scraped up by so many ordinary Cultivators, how much benefit can it bring? Instead of wasting it, it is better to return the majority to true Prodigies and let it exert its proper value!"

Ye Hanyou chuckled. He did not think there was anything wrong with his behavior.

"If you two have confidence, then come and compete with this Young Master for this Battle Qi!"

After Ye Hanyou finished speaking, he was the first to enter the colorful space passage.

All the Cultivators were dissatisfied and angry, but also surprised by Ye Hanyou's attitude. Whether just now or before, having his Face slapped by two Fairies, he did not get angry as rumored—at least on the surface, he did not get angry.

"This person is somewhat abnormal; we should be careful."

Luo Li said to Wei Qingyan.

Wei Qingyan nodded.

They had the trump card left behind by Lian Yuezhou and could even escape when encountering the Black-robed Person who specialized in hunting Prodigies, let alone Ye Hanyou.

However, Ye Hanyou was after all the youngest son valued by the Holy King, and his status was extraordinary. Coupled with the difference between his behavior today and the rumors, they should indeed be on guard.

For Luo Li and Wei Qingyan, they did not have much interest in Battle Qi, an external power that could not be fully refined and did not belong to them. Entering here was mainly to hone their actual combat abilities.

It was rare to find an Opportunity place that could manifest corresponding enemies based on one's own strength and talent, and they were unwilling to miss it.

"Let's go!"

Luo Li floated up and flew toward the space passage.

Wei Qingyan followed closely behind.

Su Xiaoyu also hurriedly followed, followed by other members of the Small Thousand Palace.

Cultivators who were confident in their own talent also hurriedly followed.

Other Cultivators either turned and left or gritted their teeth and chose to enter the space passage.

Ye Hanyou did not let ordinary Cultivators consume Battle Qi, but he did not say they were not allowed to enter the Prodigy zone and compete with him. Since that was the case, it wouldn't hurt to try; if by chance their talent met the standard and they could get a share, that would be good.

Just like that, of the originally dense, sky-covering Cultivators, less than half eventually chose to continue entering the space passage.

In the Void Realm, Li Xuanfeng, who had been watching the whole process, became thoughtful.
