"Dragon Roar! That guy actually knows the Long Family Technique and has cultivated it to the level of Dragon Roar?" In the main hall of Half-Mountain Residence, Liu Bai’s previously calm demeanor was replaced with excitement, his cheeks slightly flushed.

Previously, Ye Haochuan’s Heavenly Eye and Nine-Tailed Sword Qi had already astonished this well-versed elder immensely, and now, coupled with the Long Family Technique, his old heart could no longer be contained.

"That’s not all. The technique this young chap is cultivating seems to be the Hua Clan’s top-tier technique, the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers!" Shentu Fu next to him said excitedly.

"It’s fate, it’s all fate! The revival of the Hua Clan looks promising!" Liu Bai laughed to the sky.

It wasn’t just him; Shentu Fu and another steel-beard man also had unusual smiles on their faces.

The steel-beard man seemed not very talkative, looking at Ye Haochuan for a long time before saying, "The halberd in his hand seems to be an artifact from back then, but it’s unfortunately too old and now insufficient in strength, plus damaged. Once the young chap comes out, I’ll have it properly repaired!"

Shentu Fu laughed heartily and said, "With a divine-level artifact refiner like you repairing his weapon, that guy would probably laugh awake even while sleeping!"

The steel-beard man shook his head and sighed, "It’s a pity that his cultivation is still too low, so I can’t exchange it for a better weapon for him; he’ll have to make do with a pseudo-immortal level one!"

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed, appearing quite pleased.

In the dimension world, Ye Haochuan’s Dragon Roar made his entire divine sense clear, his strength around him seeming inexhaustible.

When the breath in his chest was released, it seemed to harshly temper his body. Now when he looked at himself, he felt as if he were a different person than before.

Not to mention anything else, just the trace of flower energy mixed in the liquid spiritual energy had become incredibly agile, vaguely transforming into the shape of a dragon, even emitting faint dragon cries.

Of course, this dragon cry could only be heard by himself. However, he could feel that at this moment his flower energy was much stronger than others’.

"Impossible, this is impossible. You just broke through to Immortal Transformation, how could you be this powerful? Tell me, did you use some kind of secret technique or supreme treasure to boost your strength in a short time?" Ju Yuqu seemed unable to accept the fact that Ye Haochuan was so formidable, frantically roaring.

"Obviously, it’s your lack of strength, yet you search for all kinds of excuses to evade. Is this the mindset of Great Genius Ju?" Ye Haochuan said disdainfully.

Ju Yuqu’s face instantly turned red with anger; how could he not see that Ye Haochuan hadn’t used any exotic treasure at all. As for secret techniques, if he really had them, that would also be part of someone else’s abilities, his claim held no grounds.

"You brat, do you think blocking one attack from this young master means you can defeat me?"

Ju Yuqu’s eyes turned crimson, roaring fiercely, as the spiritual energy and flower energy around him enveloped him entirely.

"Hmm?" Ye Haochuan’s excited mood was forcibly suppressed in that instant.

He stared at Ju Yuqu’s every move, filled with vigilance.

He could tell that Ju Yuqu was preparing a terrifying attack.

"Divine Skill... Heavenly Punishment!"

Ju Yuqu seemed to struggle to squeeze these four words out of his mouth. Before the words could fall, several earthworm-like blue veins popped up on his handsome face.

The spiritual energy and flower energy around him at that moment merged forcefully, transforming into a beam of golden light. This golden light soared into the sky, pouring fiercely into the heavens.

Immediately, the previously clear sky was shrouded with rolling dark clouds.

In the dark clouds, countless scarlet bolts of lightning churned, terrifyingly menacing.

"This young chap is only eighteen, right? And he can actually use Heavenly Punishment, his talent is truly extraordinary..." Seeing this scene, Liu Bai was once again stunned, not even knowing how to describe it.

"Indeed, eighteen, being able to comprehend one divine ability technique is already impressive, but he actually comprehended two, and the second one is Heavenly Punishment..." Shentu Fu was equally surprised.

"What a shame, if such talent could be used by me, Half-Mountain Residence would certainly be greatly enhanced!" Liu Bai sighed.

Shentu Fu shook his head and said, "He belongs to another place; even if we took him in, he wouldn’t align with Half-Mountain Residence wholeheartedly, and would bring endless trouble!"

Hearing this, Liu Bai sighed again.

The steel-beard man suddenly interjected, "Brothers, let’s not lament about that Ju chap for now; Young Chap Ye has just reached Immortal Transformation and might not withstand this level of attack. Second Brother, why don’t you secretly help him?"

"Impossible!" Liu Bai swiftly refused, "This situation is special; if I intervene, it will certainly attract those people’s attention, leading to catastrophic results!"

The steel-beard man was puzzled, "With your strength, Senior Brother, you can certainly act silently; who would notice?"

"No way, this matter must not risk even a little. Otherwise, Half-Mountain Residence will face destruction!" Liu Bai insisted.

"But if you don’t act, Young Chap Ye is doomed to lose..."

"Rest assured, someone who simultaneously holds the techniques of the Long Family, Ye Family, Hu Family, and Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers won’t lose so easily," Liu Bai said, then fixed his gaze on the screen.

From his slightly furrowed brow, it was evident that his heart was not as optimistic as his words.

Ye Haochuan is indeed impressive, but divine ability techniques are not easily wielded, especially since Ju Yuqu’s cultivation is a whole level higher than Ye Haochuan’s. This gap is not easily bridged.

"Young chap, I cannot aid you; you can only rely on yourself! I hope you do not disappoint me!" Liu Bai silently sighed in his heart.

Ye Haochuan was unaware of the commotion outside; his expression grew more serious as the dark clouds in the sky became more intense.

"Die now!"

Ju Yuqu roared, raising a hand to the sky.

In an instant, blood thunder fell from the sky.

These blood-red bolts of lightning seemed to race each other, chasing and advancing towards Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan thrust his halberd fiercely, colliding with the fastest blood thunder.

Zi zi zi~

The halberd shattered a segment of the lightning, yet the residual blood thunder entwined around it, surging towards Ye Haochuan’s body.

Ye Haochuan instinctively withdrew his hand but was ultimately a step too late, allowing the blood thunder to invade his body.

The Heart Thunder Armor was one of Ye Haochuan’s strongest defenses, both attributes being thunder, clashing like two fierce tigers on a narrow road, instantly entangled in battle.

This entanglement, however, brought disaster to Ye Haochuan, his body tingling numbly like being bitten by thousands of ants.

Yet, he dared not quietly observe the battle between the two lightning forces, as subsequent blood thunder already approached in a storm-like torrent.

Damn it, isn’t this too fierce?

Ye Haochuan lamented bitterly in his heart.
