"You, still need to keep improving."

Just as Ye Qingzhou finished speaking, Lu Yifan, Hou Fei, and Yuh Shouping had already joined forces and launched the third wave of attack.

The three of them were seniors in high school, former members of the top five celestial kings in First High School. Unfortunately, those days were gone. Now, they have become the weakest links in the team, a group of old students barely hanging on at the end.

Due to their insufficient cultivation foundation, even if the three teamed up, they could hardly have much of an impact on Ye Qingzhou.

Therefore, their task was actually just to hold the line.

Everything was simply to create an opportunity for Leon and Miao Yi.

Flower Sword!

Flying Leg!

Cotton Palm!

The three had known each other longer, so even though their strength was not as good as Xu Yuebing and Zhu Jinfeng, their cooperation was more seamless.

Ye Qingzhou stood still, and threw a punch.

With a burst of fist force, the wind whirled in all directions.

Lu Yifan, Hou Fei, and Yuh Shouping were momentarily overwhelmed, as if witnessing a tumultuous sea crashing against the shore, feeling as though a vast ocean was surging towards them.

The raging air suddenly lifted the corners of their hair, the strong wind making it almost impossible for them to keep their eyes open.

Yuh Shouping charged forward, displaying the Cloud Hand mastery, blocking at the forefront of the trio.

First, with the Wind-Embracing Lotus Leaf from the Cloud Hand Six Techniques, he forcibly took Ye Qingzhou's incoming punch, then drew a circle, shifted the force, sunk his shoulders and elbows, exhibiting the High-Tier Forest Martial Technique, Substituting One Thing for Another!

Rumble~

The fist force was deflected entirely, crashing into the stage instead.

"Now, do it!"

Yuh Shouping, having blocked just one punch from Ye Qingzhou, was nearly exhausted, his body feeling as though it had been trampled repeatedly by dozens of three-hundred-pound men.

However, his combo move was perfectly executed, ultimately creating an excellent opportunity for Lu Yifan and Hou Fei to attack.

Then, Lu Yifan and Hou Fei struck from left and right simultaneously, with sword qi and leg wind intending to flank Ye Qingzhou, leaving him no distraction.

"Your cooperation is seamless and your tactics are sound, but unfortunately your foundation is too weak to even make me lose focus."

Ye Qingzhou shook his head with a light sigh, remaining motionless, simply applying pressure with his palm downwards.

Upon this pressure, the three saw a mountain shaped like a hand, blocking out the sky and crushing down, making them lose all will to resist and drop to their knees.

"Is this... a spiritual martial technique?"

"No, it's merely my spiritual pressure. If I had used a martial technique, you would have already died."

Ye Qingzhou wasn't lying. Back then, when Zhan Lie had first mastered the Heart Sword Secret Technique, his soul and will were severed by the Ascension Dragon Sword, leading him to spiritual obliteration and death.

Lu Yifan, Hou Fei, and Yuh Shouping were far from reaching even the Professional Level.

Facing Ye Qingzhou's Heart Sword Secret Technique, a single glance from Ye Qingzhou could extinguish their lives on the spot, killing them with his gaze alone.

Although they kneeled at light speed, Leon and Miao Yi's thunderous techniques finally finished charging, ready to strike.

"Master Ye, take this!"

Leon let out an angry roar, then, merging swords and knives with Miao Yi, they advanced towards Ye Qingzhou.

Their collective thunder, one fierce and one soft, one yin and one yang, unexpectedly contained an essence of Tai Chi's harmonious integration.

Meanwhile, they also applied the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing qi and blood manipulation technique taught by Ye Qingzhou, showing a semblance of transforming qi into dragon and tiger.

The interwoven sword and knife qi formed a lightning net in front of Ye Qingzhou, the dazzling white light carrying an overwhelming force crashing down.

"Your combined attack has some merit."

Ye Qingzhou remained standing still, his expression relaxed and leisurely, handling it with ease.

He raised his hands, meeting the overwhelming lightning net head-on.

Then, under everyone's gape-mouthed gaze, Ye Qingzhou tore apart Leon and Miao Yi's full-force attack as if it was an already cut pancake.

The raging and resplendent lightning was as fragile as paper in Ye Qingzhou's hands, easily torn to shreds.

Their united effort ended in a tragic defeat.

Ye Qingzhou began to comment on each person's issues one by one, then reminded them about coordination: "You are too unfamiliar with each other's techniques, so even when encircling, you are afraid to attack together, fearing mutual disruption. Thus, against a strong opponent like me, you are no different from lining up to send your heads. Therefore, the compatibility aspect needs improvement."

Unable to hold back, Leon retorted: "Master Ye, under normal circumstances, strong opponents facing our siege would have their heads chopped off and used as football. Is there a chance that your strength is somewhat abnormal?"

Ye Qingzhou gave Leon a sideways glance, speaking in a calm tone: "Leon's training volume will increase threefold, anyone else have opinions?"

"No!"

"!!!"

Leon was tearful with regret, wishing he could slap himself a few times.

Meanwhile, watching from the sidelines, Lei Ying approached Xu Lan: "It seems letting Ye Qingzhou join the next training is meaningless. Compared to others, his strength exceeds standard too much."

Xu Lan also gave a wry smile: "Indeed, no matter how we train, with his strength, other team members will only hold him back."

"Rather than letting our training plan hinder his growth, it would be better to let him train on his own."

Lei Ying proposed a suggestion.

Xu Lan pondered for a moment, then agreed: "Although I don't want to admit it, I really have nothing more to teach Ye Qingzhou. Letting him train alone might progress faster than with my guidance."

"I've heard that the Thunder Accumulation Mountain secret realm has released some slots again. I think our First High School can try to compete for them."

"Is there such an opportunity?"

Xu Lan's face lit up at the words: "I'll call right away to inquire."

The Thunder Accumulation Mountain, located in Star City, is a renowned man-made secret realm in Xiang Province, as it's one of the few cultivation holy lands open specifically to civilian martial artists in the province.

Every month, some slots are released, and any civilian martial artist can apply.

Of course, even with low entry requirements, not everyone can enter Thunder Accumulation Mountain; at least the genius-level strength is required, along with consideration of the ranking among other competitors.

However, for Ye Qingzhou, these are not problems.

Because his talent is certainly the best in the province, no, even in the entire nation!

Ye Qingzhou is the second martial artist in Dongji Kingdom's history to reach the Mastery realm, and his high aptitude is unmatched across the country.
