Ye Tian hesitated, his heart in turmoil. The hand gripping his Black Glaze Sword was trembling slightly, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat.
"Ye Tian, what are you so nervous about? I'm just asking you to cut Ye Lin's wrist and draw a little blood. Why are you so hesitant?" Zhang Xinlan said.
"In my heart, Ye Lin is my own sister. You're asking to hurt her when she's perfectly fine... I really can't bring myself to do it. How about you let prepare a little more?" Ye Tian said to Zhang Xinlan, exasperated.
"Big Brother, if it's so hard for you, then I'll do it myself," Ye Lin said. "But this chamber is a bit small. I think we should go outside. I can only make myself bleed if I transform into my true form. You know how strong my Defense Power is now."
'Transforming into her true form is not a good idea,' Ye Tian thought. 'There are so many students in this academy, and I can't risk exposing the secret of the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python. It's safer here in this chamber.'
"Never mind," Ye Tian said. "Just bear with it. I'll cut your wrist now. Don't bla for being ruthless!"
With a thought, the Black Glaze Sword in his hand flashed with a dazzling white light. A powerful stream of Sword Qi shot out from the tip, striking Ye Lin's wrist with precision.
Ye Tian expected the blow to cut deep, but to his surprise, it only left a faint red mark on her wrist. In other words, the attack hadn't broken through Ye Lin's defense at all.
Ye Tian felt a sour taste in his mouth. He had used seventy percent of his strength in that strike. He knew Ye Lin's Defense Power was formidable, but he hadn't dared to use too much force. He had been extrely worried even at this level of power, yet he never expected this result.
"What incredible Defense Power! An Ancient Fierce Beast is truly on another level. Ye Tian, your Attack Power couldn't even break her defense. Did you forget to eat or sothing?" Zhang Xinlan laughed at him.
Ye Tian shot Zhang Xinlan a look. "Cut the snide remarks, Zhang Xinlan. I was afraid of hurting Ye Lin, so I didn't use my full strength. I'm just as surprised as you are that her Defense Power is this astonishing."
"Big Brother, just attack without holding back. I know my own limits," Ye Lin said with a smile. "If you had reached the Five Veins Realm, I might not say anything, but right now, you'd better use your full strength. Otherwise, you'll just be wasting your ti."
Ye Tian felt like he'd lost face. "Ye Lin, don't you start crying if I hurt you this ti! I'll definitely break through your defense!"
"Then give it a try. I'm also very curious about your true power!" Ye Lin said. "Co on! Our King isn't supposed to be so timid!"
Ye Tian took a deep breath. The Dragon Spiritual Power inside him began to circulate rapidly, along with the Gold Elent. The Golden Elent Ball inside his body started spinning on its own.
Ye Tian understood the properties of the Gold Elent perfectly. It was all-penetrating, the best Elent for breaking through powerful defenses. He believed this next strike would surely pierce Ye Lin's defense. Otherwise, he'd be a laughingstock to both her and Zhang Xinlan.
'Losing face in front of two peerless beauties is truly frustrating,' Ye Tian thought. 'But this is the only way. Even if I really do hurt Ye Lin, it's not a big deal. My own blood can heal her.'
After a few breaths, Ye Tian said to Ye Lin, "Are you ready, Ye Lin? I'm attacking!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Black Glaze Sword slashed out, unleashing a Golden Sword Qi. Ye Tian had used ninety percent of his power in this strike. He had originally intended to use a full hundred percent, but in the end, he was still afraid of injuring Ye Lin and held back slightly.
The mont the Golden Sword Qi appeared, the entire chamber began to shake violently. Although the construction of this Gravity Chamber was sturdy, it was still weaker than the one in the dean's area.
The strike caused the chamber to tremble nonstop, and even the other chambers outside began to vibrate. This developnt gave the students Cultivating in them a terrible fright. Thinking the chambers were about to collapse, they all looked up at the ceilings.
The tremors lasted for a few breaths before subsiding, and many breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Tian, however, clearly saw the Golden Sword Qi strike Ye Lin's arm, sending her flying several ters away.
At the sa ti, a deep gash appeared on her wrist, and crimson blood began to flow out rapidly. But Ye Lin paid no mind to the wound, instead letting the blood flow directly into the bottle Zhang Xinlan had given her.
Before long, the bottle was filled with blood, and the wound on her wrist miraculously healed. The timing was perfect, almost too coincidental.
"Sister Xinlan, here is the blood you wanted. Big Brother didn't disappoint us after all. He even knew to use the Gold Elent to attack. If he had used a normal attack again, it would have been a complete waste of ti," Ye Lin said, handing the bottle to Zhang Xinlan as she spoke.
"Thank you, Ye Lin! With your blood, my suffering will be greatly eased. And of course, your big brother has accomplished his first task. He didn't disappoint. Being able to master the Gold Elent is quite impressive," Zhang Xinlan said.
Ye Tian ignored Zhang Xinlan. He walked over to Ye Lin, grabbed her arm, and carefully examined the wrist he had cut. "Ye Lin, are you okay? Does it hurt a lot? Did I use too much force?"
"What are you talking about, Big Brother? How could you have broken my defense if you didn't use all your strength? With your current Attack Power, you wouldn't have much trouble even against soone at the Four Vein Realm. This little wound is nothing. See? It's already healed," Ye Lin said with a laugh.
Ye Tian saw that the wound on Ye Lin's wrist had completely healed, leaving only a very faint scar, which was also slowly fading. Such Heaven-defying Defense Power and Recovery Power were in no way inferior to his own.
"Ye Tian, I have the blood now. Thank you, to both you and Ye Lin. The wilderness activity is in a few days. Don't forget to stick with then. I wouldn't want anything to happen to the Young Palace Master of Shen Li Palace. And don't think I'm joking.
"Although your strength is quite good now, you should understand the principle that a spear in the open is easier to dodge than a hidden arrow. Many people don't rely on pure martial strength to kill their opponents. Strange chanisms, Hidden Weapons, or Runes can all be fatal.
"It's getting late; we should go. I'm very satisfied with your current strength. Keep it up! I'll be waiting for you," Zhang Xinlan said.
She didn't care what Ye Tian thought. After saying her piece, she left the chamber, leaving Ye Tian and Ye Lin standing there, watching her go.
"Ye Lin, it's still not safe for you to be out in the open. I think you should return to my body," Ye Tian said. "Thank you for this, really. You helped complete a mission."
"Big Brother, that Zhang Xinlan is really sothing else. She hides her power very well. If I were to fight her one-on-one, I might not even be her match. She's at least at the Late Five Veins Realm. If it weren't for the Ultimate Yin Poison in her body, she might have already broken through to the Sixth Vein," Ye Lin said.
Hearing this, Ye Tian was even more shocked. 'I can't believe that girl is so powerful. I really can't underestimate her!'
