Liu Xinghe blocked the incoming spiritual energy.
Everyone present was stunned. No one expected such a scene to unfold.
"He has injured my son so severely!" Jin Yuan stared at Liu Xinghe. "Are you determined to protect him?"
"Jin Yuan, your son used a powerful pill," Liu Xinghe said coldly. "I now intend to revoke your son's qualification."
What did you say?
Jin Yuan was infuriated upon hearing this.
"As for your son's injuries, isn't it normal to get injured in a competition?" Liu Xinghe looked at Jin Yuan.
Jin Yuan stared at Liu Xinghe helplessly.
Ye Chen looked at Liu Xinghe and Jin Yuan, recalling what Qian Qian had mentioned about their good relationship. It seemed that their relationship wasn't as good as it appeared on the surface.
"Fine!"
Jin Yuan coldly spoke and had someone help Jin Cheng leave the trial stage.
The first place was without a doubt, but the second and third places had yet to be determined.
The competitions resumed!
In the end, the top three were decided.
First place: Ye Chen, second place: Mu Hai, and third place: Liu Qianqian.
The third place would receive the Body Refining Pill, the second place would get the Diamond Fist suitable for reserve warriors, and the first place would obtain an elixir for advancing to reserve warrior.
The rewards were distributed to Ye Chen, Mu Hai, and Liu Qianqian.
Afterward, the students from the three academies were led back by their respective team leaders.
...
Back at AnYue Academy, Ye Chen went to the training room and consumed the elixir for advancing to reserve warrior.
The elixir could elevate a reserve warrior's realm by one small stage without any side effects.
As soon as he drank it, Ye Chen felt a force surging through his organs. He sat on the ground and began refining the elixir in his body.
The internal vitality began to condense, forming an external element sea outside Ye Chen's body.
Ye Chen opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
"I'm a One-Star Warrior now."
Becoming a One-Star Warrior allowed the condensation of an element sea, the place where vital energy was stored.
Although the difference between an advanced reserve warrior and a One-Star Warrior was only a small realm, the actual strength differed significantly.
Only by becoming a One-Star Warrior could one use vital energy.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for becoming a One-Star Warrior. You have obtained a treasure chest."
The system's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
Ye Chen's face showed a hint of excitement; he didn't expect to receive a treasure chest.
"Open!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Elemental Dominance Technique."
Ye Chen was stunned. Elemental Dominance Technique?
He checked the function of the Elemental Dominance Technique.
Elemental Dominance Technique: After cultivation, you can possess twice the number of element seas. Regardless of any realm, the number of element seas will be doubled.
Ye Chen was surprised. This meant that by cultivating this technique, he could double the number of element seas in his body. Then, a Two-Star Warrior could have four element seas?
"May I ask if the host wants to cultivate the Elemental Dominance Technique?"
"Cultivate."
"10%... 30%... 60%... 100%."
"Elemental Dominance Technique cultivation successful."
With the system's prompt, Ye Chen's body indeed formed two element seas. In an instant, Ye Chen felt that his strength had increased again.
Becoming a One-Star Warrior not only increased his vital energy but also strengthened his overall power.
He now possessed two element seas, not just increasing the amount of vital energy but also multiplying his overall strength.
Although he was only a One-Star Warrior, he had the element seas of a Two-Star Warrior. Coupled with his medium strength talent, low speed talent, powerful Bull Demon Fist, and Shadow Covering Step, he could easily defeat a Two-Star Warrior.
