chapter 21 :Do I look stupid?

Julian Ye began to cultivate after returned to his own hall and immediately! Sprint through The Cultivation Realm of Tong You! In his previous battle with the giant, he found a defect in himself, that is, his own Xuanqi was not enough. Especially in terms of the Imperial Sword, it is not enough! The Cultivation Realm of Wan Fai is no longer enough to support his imperial sword! He need to elevate his realm! With the help of the Immortal Level Technique, it's really easy to reach The Cultivation Realm of Tong You! In less than two days, Julian Ye directly reached The Cultivation Realm of Tong You from The Cultivation Realm of Wan Fai. After reaching the secluded realm, his overall strength and quality of his cultivation received a qualitative leap, especially in controlling the Qi sword . In addition, the speed of his flying sword was at least twice as fast as before! He was not in a hurry to sprint into The Cultivation Realm of Shen Po, because he knew that haste does not achieve results! Men are often too fast, which is not a good thing! For example, in that aspect! First, stabilize his own realm! Therefore, every day, Julian Ye would go to the ninth floor of the trial tower! The giant always exists and is not gone after breaking through! Of course one person can only break through once. After that, even if they defeat the giant again, there is no reward! Julian Ye came this time to challenge the giant to a one-on-one fight! Train his practical combat ability! In the middle of the field, the giant held a giant axe and hacked at Julian Ye. Although Julian Ye's realm has improved, he was still unable to face the giant directly and could only awkwardly dodge. He did not plan to face the giant directly! To deal with this giant, he needed to make the most of his strengths. He wins by being flexible, so he must utilize this advantage of flexibility. Like the eighth floor, he began to frantically dodge and familiarize himself with the giant's routines, and then chose the weaknesses of the giant. He also understood that the best defense is offense, but it depends on the situation. With his current strength far inferior to that of the giant, he had to be cautious.  At first, Julian Ye was very embarrassed and several times, he managed to just barely dodge the giant's attacks. But as time passed, Julian Ye began to familiarize himself with the giant's patterns, and at the same time, he learned how to counterattack! It was the best opportunity to counterattack at the moment when the giant's ax fell down! However, the giant's defensive ability was so amazing that even though his flying sword power had been improved, he still couldn't deal a fatal blow to the giant, and could only grind it down little by little. As time passed, Julian Ye ruthlessly ground down the giant, like before, the giant's throat was slowly erased by Ye Guan's sword. And Julian Ye didn't dare to be greedy either. Every time he had the opportunity, he would only attack once, and then he would disappear. A day passed like that! And the giant's throat gap grew bigger! At this moment, Julian Ye was highly tense because the giant could make mistakes countless times, but he couldn't make a mistake at all. If he made a mistake once, he would either die or be seriously injured. Another day passed! As the giant's axe fell, Julian Ye suddenly struck the giant's throat with a sword. Shit! The giant's head flew straight out! And Julian Ye retreated one after another, As expected, at the moment when the giant's head flew out, he suddenly brandished his ax and swung it around in all directions. The ax directly brought a terrorist electrical power to sweep through, and a series of sound explosions constantly resounded! When the ax finally fell to the ground and its power disappeared,Julian Ye breathed a sigh of relief and immediately collapsed! Exhausted! Two days of high-intensity fighting almost made him collapse! However, it was all worth it! This real-life combat had greatly improved his combat ability. In fact, he didn't really care about the state of realization. The state of realization was just a measure. What he really cared about was his combat ability. In many cases, two people with the same state of realization may have very different combat abilities! It is worth mentioning that he did not use the XingDao Sword. If he used the Sword, he had the confidence to kill this giant in one round! The giant's defense could block his Qi sword but could not block his Xingdao sword! However, he didn't use it because he didn't want to rely too much on external objects! Xingdao sword was better left for critical moments! After resting on the ground for a long time, Julian Ye was about to leave when a man suddenly appeared in the field. Upon seeing the person, Seeing the visitor, Julian Ye was stunned. Someone, it's Sampson Xiao! Upon seeing Julian Ye, Sampson Xiao was also stunned. He looked at the giant ax laying on the ground far away and then asked:"Brother Ye, did you just kill that big guy?” Julian Ye nodded and said:"Yes.” Sampson Xiao raised his thumb and said: 'Amazing!' Julian Ye smiled and said:”Are you also here to challenge that giant?” Sampson Xiao nodded and said,"Yes! I have learned a lot from my last fight. Therefore, I want to challenge it one more time!"  Julian Ye smiled and knew that many times, there is only one way to overcome fear without fear! After they both defeated the giant, neither of them was afraid of it anymore! Julian Ye smiled and said,"Brother Xiao, come on! I'm going back.” Sampson Xiao nodded and said, "Okay.” Julian Ye turned around and left. There were loud noises coming from within the ninth floor soon. After leaving the trial tower, Julian Ye came to the library of Guangxuan academy. There were various kinds of books in this library.  Reading! Even in Julian Ye's mansion, besides cultivation, his favorite thing is reading books. Reading books can improve one's thinking, discover one's ignorance, and understand one's humanity. Moreover, reading is also helpful for cultivation! It can calm the mind, concentrate the spirit, and self-reflect! There are still about ten days left before the competition with Zephyr. During this period, Julian Ye spent every day cultivating in the test tower and reading books except for one day. On the third day before going up to the life-or-death platform, Zephyr stepped out of the trial training tower! On a high mountain somewhere,  Zephyr sat on the ground, emanating a powerful aura around him. The Cultivation Realm of Tong You! The rigorous cultivation in the test tower had also greatly improved his strength! At this moment, Zion Xiao appeared next to him. Zion Xiao looked at Zephyr and said, "How was the training in that martial arts?" Zephyr said confidently:"I have already mastered it!" Upon hearing this, Zion Xiao's face immediately showed a satisfied smile. Zephyr suddenly asked,"What has Ye Guan been doing during this time?" Zion Xiao said,"Apart from going to practice tower cultivation every day, he also reads books in the library.” Zephyr frowned slightly and said, "What level is he on?” Zion Xiao shook his head and said,"I don't know! Let me look into it!" Zephyr suddenly shook his head and said: 'No need!' Zion Xiao looked at Zephyr, who had no expression on his face. "In three days, I will kill him.” Zion Xiao smiled and said,  "It's good to have confidence!" Zephyr slightly nodded and slowly closed his eyes. Zion Xiao turned around and left. In a short while, he directly arrived at the Trial Peak. He didn't listen to Zephyr because he felt he needed to be more cautious. He wanted to see what level of cultivation Julian Ye was in! At this moment, Julian Ye, who had just come out of the library, immediately arrived at the trial tower. Then, he walked into the trial tower. Zion Xiao immediately followed over! Zion Xiao secretly followed Julian Ye all the way to the seventh floor. When he saw that Julian Ye had entered the seventh floor, he immediately felt relieved! However, he still didn't leave, but was waiting. About an hour later, Julian Ye walked out from the seventh floor, and at this moment, Julian Ye looked very weak. In the dark, Zion Xiao glanced at Julian Ye, then turned around and left with peace of mind. Julian Ye walked towards the outside. At this moment, Little Lan suddenly said, "Are you afraid of against Zephyr?” Julian Ye nodded. Little Lan was puzzled, "Why?” Julian Ye calmly said, "If I were him, I would be curious about what floor I was training on. Even if he wasn't curious, his mentor would definitely be curious too!" Since passing the day before yesterday, every time he used the elevator directly from the seventh floor to the eighth floor, then from the eighth floor to the ninth floor, and finally back to the original floor. He did this because he was cautious. He is not afraid of Zephyr, but afraid that Zephyr would give up going up to the life-or-death platform after knowing his true strength. The little Lan suddenly said:"It's all right to be careful, but we should keep it up!" Julian Ye whispered, "There are still three days left.” Actually, he didn't want to wait for a second, but there was no other choice. He still hadn't reached a point where he could ignore the academy with impunity. Moreover, he doesn't want to cause trouble for Rudolphus Fei either! Then let's just wait it out! At this moment, Sampson Xiao suddenly walked out. Sampson Xiao glanced at Julian Ye and grinned, "I am also succeeded!" During this time, Sampson Xiao has been crazily challenging the giant every day, and today, he finally succeeded in challenging! Julian Ye smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, congratulations.” Sampson Xiao grinned and sat down on the stone steps, saying, "Brother Ye, take a talk.” Julian Ye nodded and sat next to Sampson Xiao. Sampson Xiao said in a deep voice, "My deepest feeling in these days is fear. When I first encountered the giant, I had only one feeling - fear. Deep in my heart, I felt that he was invincible. Because of this thought, I didn't even have the courage to fight with him later on." As he spoke, he turned to Julian Ye and said, "To tell the truth, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you inviting me to fight the giant together that day, I might still be in fear and unable to escape until now." Julian Ye smiled and said, "When I was facing him alone, I was also afraid and didn't have the courage to fight with him. If it weren't for you, I would have chosen to run away." Sampson Xiao chuckled and then said:”Brother Ye,you are interesting. I think you are suitable to be the student leader of the academy! You are the student leader, and I am willing to accept it!" Julian Ye looked at Sampson Xiao and said, "As far as I know, you are the academy head's apprentice student. You should be the student leader!" Sampson Xiao shook his head and said: 'I'm not interested!” Julian Ye couldn't understand, "Why?” Sampson Xiao looked up at the sky and smiled, "My heart is not here, but in the upper bound, it is the Middle Earth Divine Land.” Julian Ye furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Central Land Shenzhou.” Sampson Xiao nodded and said, "Above the upper bound is the Middle Earth Shenzhou! Under the rule of the Middle Earth Shenzhou, there are thousands of worlds, big and small, and the ultimate goal of these geniuses is the Middle Earth Shenzhou. There are many powerful families and tribes there, and countless talented people emerge." As he spoke, he looked at Julian Ye and said, "You and me in this small Nanyang are considered the most talented people. But if we go there, we can only be considered ordinary. Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed, "Actually, there is an even more terrible place, which is the main building of the Guan Xuan Academy of thousands of worlds. The ultimate goal of all the talented people in the academy is to go there.Unfortunately, we want to go there, but it's really too difficult, too difficult to make people despair." Julian Ye remained silent. The world is big, Nanzhou is small, and he is even smaller! Sampson Xiao smiled and said, "If you become the student leader..." Julian Ye suddenly shook his head and said, "I'm not interested either.” Sampson Xiao was stunned, and Julian Ye smiled and said, "In the future, I will go to the Central Land Shenzhou to become famous, and I will also go to the main building of Guan Xuan Academy and compete with countless talented people!" Sampson Xiao was stunned, and then he laughed, "Good ambition! I'm going to make my name in China and  I will also go to the main building of Guan Xuan Academy and compete with those talented people!" Julian Ye smiled and then stood up and waved, "I'm going to read books now. See you later!" After Julian Ye left, Sampson Xiao also got up and left, and every few steps he took, a man suddenly appeared in front of Sampson Xiao. Someone, it's Zephyr! Seeing Zephyr, Sampson Xiao froze and said, "Who are you?” Zephyr clenched his fists and smiled, "Brother Xiao, I'm Zephyr from theNan family, Zephyr!” Sampson Xiao blinked and said, "Are you the one who is going to the stage of life and death?” Zephyr nodded and said: 'Exactly!' Sampson Xiao smiled and then said, "What's the matter?" Zephyr smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Brother Xiao has broken through the ninth floor. I have great admiration in my heart. Today, I came to meet Brother Xiao and want to make friends with you.” As he spoke, he paused and said, "Is that Julian Ye who just talking with Brother Xiao?” Sampson Xiao nodded and said, "Yes.” Zephyr said in a deep voice, "Brother Xiao, be careful of this Julian Ye.” Sampson Xiao frowned slightly:"Why?” Zephyr's face darkened and he said, "This person is ruthless and crafty. He likes to trap others and accuse them falsely. Most importantly, I have heard that he does not accept you and wants to compete for the student chief.” Sampson Xiao suddenly kicked with one foot, which was so fast that Zephyr had not reacted yet and was kicked in the stomach. Bang! Zephyr was directly kicked out more than ten feet away! Zephyr was confused! Sampson Xiao took a cold look at Zephyr: "I don't hate others who play tricks or use cunning ways, but I hate others who treat me as a fool! You want to create a conflict between me and Brother Ye, and let me target him... I don't understand! Do I look like a fool? Ah?" Zephyr: "........”
