Chapter 309: Chapter 307: Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body Breakthrough

Boom!

At this moment, Guo Tao’s foot had already landed on Xiao Ye, and a terrifying force surged like a tsunami.

"Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, block it for me!"

Xiao Ye shouted lowly, his body emitted a golden light as dazzling as the sun, forming a golden protective shield, defending against Guo Tao’s force.

Xiao Ye was like a small boat in raging waves, constantly at risk of capsizing.

Crack crack crack!

In a few breaths, the golden protective shield formed by the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body started showing small cracks, which grew bigger and then burst apart.

The remaining force hit Xiao Ye hard, causing the Flame Saber to fly out of his hand, and he fell like a meteor, creating a deep pit in the ground.

"Xiao Ye!"

Qing Wu, struggling to break free, was anxious and furious, her delicate body burst with intense light shooting straight into the sky, the overwhelming shockwave knocked the members of the Mo Ye Team flying.

The next moment, the members of the Mo Ye Team fearlessly charged forward again, entangling her.

With Ding Yi, a Peak of Nine-Revolution Profound Martial, and a dozen team members cooperating, it wasn’t too difficult to bind Qing Wu.

"The strength isn’t very strong, are you afraid of hitting too hard and killing me?" Xiao Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, jumped out of the pit, surveyed his condition, and revealed a cold sneer on his face.

Guo Tao, although a martial artist at the Peak Level of the Nine-Revolution Profound Martial Realm, didn’t unleash as much power as the grey-robed elder whom he had killed in the underground space of the canyon.

Besides, with the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body that Xiao Ye cultivated, the remaining power didn’t actually cause him much harm.

"Hm?" Guo Tao in the sky above had a frozen expression with a trace of shock on his face.

His previous kick would have severely wounded an early-stage martial artist of the Nine-Revolution Profound Martial Realm, but how was it that Xiao Ye seemed almost unscathed?

"It seems you’ve cultivated a set of defensive combat techniques, but do you think this will stop me? Speak up about what you found in the canyon, or I will make you suffer terribly." Guo Tao stood with his hands behind his back, descending from the sky towards Xiao Ye.

"Haha, if you want me to reveal what I found in the canyon, it’s simple, just kneel before me, and I’ll tell you." Xiao Ye stood on the ground, laughing heartily looking upwards.

After all, Guo Tao wouldn’t dare to kill him, what should he be afraid of? As for the pain, could it be more intense than the pain brought by cultivating the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body?

"Looking for a beating!"

Guo Tao’s expression stiffened, then he was furiously enraged, Xiao Ye still dared to mock him at this time.

He struck out with a palm, an immense force engulfing Xiao Ye’s figure.

"Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body!" Xiao Ye’s body shone with brilliant golden light, standing like a golden war god on the earth, his body forming a golden protective shield against Guo Tao’s force.

Pfft!

It didn’t take long before the golden shield shattered again, Xiao Ye’s figure was thrown horizontally, heavily hitting the ground.

"Will you talk now?" Guo Tao’s gaze was stern as he pursued Xiao Ye.

"Guo Tao, such strength, it’s only tickling me; did you exert all your strength on women?" Xiao Ye wiped the blood from his mouth, stood up again, his face filled with more intense mockery, countering without answering.

"You!"

Guo Tao trembled with fury, feeling extremely stifled.

At this moment, Guo Tao realized he was too naive, Xiao Ye’s stubbornness far exceeded his expectations.

He thought he held an absolute advantage, but it turned out to be a joke before Xiao Ye.

Although his cultivation had reached the Peak of the Nine-Revolution Profound Martial Realm, he dared not use his full strength, otherwise killing Xiao Ye would result in a dreadful penalty, a punishment he could not afford.

Therefore, he only dared to show strength to a certain level, fearing what would happen if he went too far and killed Xiao Ye.

Besides, did he have any other chips to threaten Xiao Ye?

None!

Not a single one!

"You don’t dare to kill me, then I’m going to take action." Xiao Ye clenched his fists, inside his body three Xuandan erupted like volcanoes, twenty-seven strands of Domineering Dragon Qi filled the sky, surging towards Guo Tao.

"You actually dare to attack me." Guo Tao laughed in extreme anger and struck with a palm, instantly, the twenty-seven strands of Domineering Dragon Qi were annihilated under his palm.

The formidable palm wind made Xiao Ye halt before he quickly dashed forward again, engaging Guo Tao in combat.

Guo Tao naturally had the upper hand, but each attack was somewhat restrained, fearing that a mishap might result in killing Xiao Ye.

"It is indeed so." Xiao Ye fought against Guo Tao, completely on the receiving end, yet his eyes were powerlessly bright.

Because he discovered, during the fight with Guo Tao, his body was slowly transforming, driving the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body became smoother, and the golden brilliance on his skin grew even more splendid.

This revelation exhilarated Xiao Ye.

"The pressure from fighting with Guo Tao might help me cultivate the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body to the Perfection Level of the First Level!" Xiao Ye was thrilled.

Knowing that once the First Level of Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body reached Perfection, his body could match a Xuan Artifact, and his physical defensive power in the Xuanwu Realm would be invincible. Even if he just stood there, allowing Guo Tao to attack, the opponent wouldn’t be able to harm him.

To cultivate such an abnormal combat technique to perfection, how could Xiao Ye not be excited?

"Almost there."

Knocked away by Guo Tao once again, Xiao Ye flicked his hand, taking the opportunity to pull out the last bottle of Golden Body Liquid from the Space Ring, then tilting his head back, he gulped it down.

Crackle and pop!

As the Golden Body Liquid entered his body, it swiftly moved through Xiao Ye’s physical body, absorbed by muscles, bones, and meridians. Xiao Ye’s body actually emitted a sound of harmonizing muscle and bone, and his surging blood qi shot straight to the sky horizon.

"So awesome!"

Xiao Ye laughed heartily in delight. The immense pain once caused by ingesting Golden Body Liquid now brought him immense comfort, and he thoroughly enjoyed this sensation.

Perhaps this was the pleasure of breakthrough, overwhelming the pain of the physical body.

"Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body!"

Xiao Ye looked up and howled, circulating the Golden Body Mantra, which increased the absorption speed of the Golden Body Liquid. The golden radiance on his body surface became more and more brilliant, illuminating the entire heaven and earth, producing enormous golden beams that broke through the clouds in an astonishing manner.

"Guo Tao!"

Golden radiance shot out from Xiao Ye’s pupils, and then his figure disappeared from the spot. While swiftly darting out, he threw a heavy punch towards Guo Tao’s face.

Guo Tao, startled by Xiao Ye’s transformation, was momentarily dazed and quickly punched out, mobilizing part of his strength to confront Xiao Ye.

Bang!

Guo Tao’s fist, however, heavily landed on a golden protective shield, causing numerous cracks to appear, but unlike before, it did not shatter.

"What? How is that possible!" Guo Tao’s face went blank.

How had Xiao Ye’s defensive battle technique improved so much in such a short period of time?

"Guo Tao, this punch is for you, to let you know who is teaching whom!" Xiao Ye spoke coldly, his right fist following swiftly, taking advantage of the moment Guo Tao couldn’t switch tactics and smashed heavily onto Guo Tao’s face.

Crack!

With a scream, Guo Tao only felt stars before his eyes as his nasal bone broke, staggering back several steps while roaring continuously.

Him, Guo Tao, a peak warrior of the Nine-Transformation Profound Martial Realm, had his nasal bone broken by a newbie with a single punch?

Disgrace!

This was an absolute disgrace!

"I’m going to kill you, I must kill you!" Furious rage burned in Guo Tao’s chest, nearly exploding with anger.

Xiao Ye, radiating with golden light, stood firmly on the ground and scoffed, "Kill me? Do you even have the guts?"

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Guo Tao’s head, suppressing his rage and bringing him back to his senses.

Indeed, he didn’t have the guts to kill Xiao Ye, not even the guts to cripple him, for the fact that Xiao Ye had been personally recruited by a manifestation of King Xingyun, showing Xiao Ye’s status in King Xingyun’s eyes.

"Ah!"

Guo Tao bellowed in rage and again increased his strength, raising his fists and charging at Xiao Ye, each punch heavy and forceful like a meteor smashing onto the golden protective shields formed by the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body.

Bang bang bang!

In just three punches, the golden shields shattered, and Xiao Ye was blasted away; simultaneously, the absorption rate of the Golden Body Liquid in his body increased.

Xiao Ye’s physical body’s defensive power kept increasing at a steady rate, and Guo Tao had to increase his strength just to break the golden shields.

"This guy is using my power to cultivate defensive battle techniques!" Realizing something was amiss, Guo Tao reacted, his face ashen as he stood still.

After fighting for so long, he hadn’t achieved anything; instead, he had been used by Xiao Ye as a sparring partner. If this got out, wouldn’t others laugh their teeth off?

"Guo Tao, keep fighting." Seeing Guo Tao suddenly stop, Xiao Ye urged him.

The Golden Body Liquid he had ingested was absorbed very quickly at first, but as time went on, it began to slow down significantly, and he was only halfway from cultivating the first level of the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body to perfection.

Hearing this, Guo Tao stumbled, almost choking on his frustration.

Someone actually asking to be beaten, this was his first time encountering such a person; if he continued to fight, then he’d be the fool.

"Xiao Ye, don’t be complacent. Genius Camp conducts assessments every half year, where there are no rules. Wait till then, I’ll cripple you," Guo Tao said, before turning and walking away, his expression dark.

"That’s a pity, he figured it out." Xiao Ye felt quite regretful as he thought he could have used this opportunity to cultivate the first level of the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body to perfection.

"Assessment in half a year? I’ll be waiting for you." Xiao Ye gazed at Guo Tao’s retreating figure.

Seeing Guo Tao suddenly stop, the three small teams that had been in a melee also halted, looking astonished, puzzled by what had happened.

Qing Wu glanced at Guo Tao’s ashen face with curiosity, wondering if Guo Tao had actually been overpowered by Xiao Ye.

"Xiao Ye, are you alright?" Since both Guo Tao and Xiao Ye had stopped, there was no need for them to continue fighting either.

Qing Wu and the members of the Dragon Hunter Team gathered around, and Qing Wu offered Xiao Ye a green Healing Pill again.

"I’m fine." Xiao Ye smiled, a warm sensation coursing through his heart.

After swallowing the pill, he chatted with Qing Wu and others for a while, and then his gaze turned up towards the mountains.

At that moment, Jiu Zhu and the man in the red robe were still locked in a fierce battle, fighting indistinguishably, turning much of the mountain range into ruins, attracting everyone’s attention.

"Hidden Contribution Points are mine, back at the Genius Camp, I’ll be able to exchange them for Soul Crystals. Yaya, are you alright?" Xiao Ye grew excited internally.

Following this, Xiao Ye’s hand flicked, and a dark Space Ring appeared.

This Space Ring belonged to the grey-robed elder he had killed.

With hopeful eyes, Xiao Ye infused it with Martial Arts True Intent.

"This... even heaven is helping me!" Moments later, Xiao Ye’s body trembled, and his eyes burst with ecstatic joy.
