C307 A Martial Skill That You Don't Need to Learn
Of course Ye Hongtian knows the old man's words, but he just got a drop of Elemental Gathering Dew, and he's in a good mood, so if the old man wants him to leave quickly, then he's gone.
"The Zhuo Family's battle has ended. Brother Zhuo and I will leave immediately." Ye Hong Tian said with a smile.
After saying that, he cupped his fists and bowed to the old man. Then, he turned around and left with Zhuo Wu. He didn't show any reluctance to leave. He left the Zhuo Family without even looking back.
After leaving the Zhuo Family, Zhuo Wu called Chi Yan over. The two of them rode Chi Yan and embarked on the road to the Sword Sect.
After the two of them left the Zhuo Family completely, Ye Hong Tian recalled that he seemed to have forgotten to ask the Ke Family's Patriarch to give him that drop of Element Gathering Dew that had been fused together to replenish his True Essence.
This was a huge loss. If that large drop of essence gathering dew was filled with true essence, then by the time Ye Hong Tian completely absorbed it, he would have at least half of his dantian's purple true essence.
It was a pity that he had the chance to replenish the Zhen yuan in his body this time. The next time he could find a True Origin Stage cultivator who was willing to replenish his Zhen yuan, he would not know when it would be.
However, every morning when he absorbed the Purple Qi, he could replenish his True Yuan once. It was late at night, and there was still some time before the sunrise. Ye Hongtian started to rummage through his Cosmos Sack out of boredom.
After rummaging for a while, he suddenly found a wooden box lying in the corner of the Cosmos Sack. He took out the wooden box and looked at it.
"This seems to be the last one of the four wooden boxes that the old ancestor gave me. I haven't opened it yet. I wonder what is inside." Ye Hongtian thought of the box and murmured.
However, judging from the supreme grade vitality stone from before, the thing inside the last wooden box was definitely a good thing, which made Ye Hongtian a little excited.
Swallowing his saliva, Ye Hong Tian covered the lid of the wooden box with his hand and forcefully opened the lid, revealing the item inside.
It was a piece of tattered armor fragment. It didn't look special at all, just like an ordinary piece of armor fragment.
Ye Hong Tian looked at the piece of armor fragment in confusion. The items in the previous three boxes had helped him, but why was the last box a piece of scrap metal? It didn't make sense.
Ye Hong Tian took out the pieces of the armor and carefully observed them for a while. He sighed lightly. The thing in the fourth box did not seem to be of any help to him.
He put the armor piece back into the wooden box with a disappointed face. Just as he was about to close the lid, the armor piece suddenly shook. Even Ye Hong Tian's hand was shaking. He almost lost control and threw the wooden box away.
The armor piece bounced out of the wooden box and landed on Ye Hong Tian's chest.
The clothes on Ye Hongtian's chest disappeared instantly. The armor piece left a mark on Ye Hongtian's chest. It gave off a burnt smell, making Ye Hongtian suck in a breath of cold air.
The pieces of the armor turned into ashes and disappeared. The mark on Ye Hongtian's chest gradually faded. It was so faint that it was almost impossible to see it.
Zhuo Wu, who was seriously riding the horse, felt something behind him. He hurriedly stopped and looked at Ye Hongtian with an inquiring look.
Ye Hongtian waved his hand and returned a smile to Zhuo Wu, indicating that there was nothing wrong with it. After that, Zhuo Wu continued on his way.
"What is this mark? It seems... to be a rune?"
After Zhuo Wu turned around, Ye Hong Tian carefully looked at the mark on his chest. That mark was already very faint. However, Ye Hong Tian could still see that the mark seemed to be a word, a word that he did not recognize.
He touched the mark on his chest and found that he could no longer feel the pain. He tried to focus on the mark on his chest to see if there was any reaction.
Just as he focused his attention on the mark, the mark became clear again, making Ye Hong Tian feel a trace of pain again.
A ray of light shot out from Ye Hong Tian's chest. Under Ye Hong Tian's control, it went around Zhuo Wu, who was sitting in front, and landed on the ground.
Boom!
An explosion sounded from the ground. As soon as Chi Yan stepped on the ground, he sank into it. Zhuo Wu was so scared that he immediately jumped up from Chi Yan's body and threw Ye Hong Tian to the side. He then rescued Chi Yan from the hole.
Ye Hong Tian, who was thrown to the side, stabilized his body. He looked at the hole on the ground and his eyes flashed. The corner of his mouth slightly curled upwards.
He didn't expect that this mark actually contained a martial skill. Moreover, he only needed to consume a bit of true essence to activate this martial skill. The lethality of this martial skill was also much higher than his Wind Lightning Bullet.
He really wanted to have a few more martial skills that he didn't need to learn. Although it would consume a bit of Zhen Yuan, as long as he reached the True Energy Realm, wouldn't this Zhen Yuan be inexhaustible?2
"What's going on? Someone set an ambush here?" Zhuo Wu frowned and said.
Chi Yan stepped on its hooves and looked around vigilantly. Flames kept popping up from its nose. Obviously, it was very angry that it was almost hit.
Ye Hong Tian, the culprit, nodded at the side. He jumped into the hole and looked around. His face revealed a thoughtful expression, but his heart was actually filled with wild joy.
This pit had a circumference of about fifteen meters. Although there was an explosion just now, the wall here was very smooth. It didn't look like it had exploded at all.
Most importantly, other than some stones that had fallen from the ground, there was not a single stone in the hole. The hole seemed to have been formed naturally.
This made Ye Hong Tian's evaluation of this martial skill that he had unexpectedly obtained a few points higher. The lethality of this martial skill might already be comparable to the lethality of his Falling Star.
But Falling Star required one to borrow the power of falling from the sky, and this martial skill only needed a tiny bit of true essence. As long as one had enough true essence, this would absolutely be a move that would give the opponent a massive headache.
Jumping out of the hole, Ye Hong Tian rubbed his chin and said, "The wall below is very smooth, as if it was formed naturally. I can't see any traces of someone burying a trap."
Hearing Ye Hong Tian's analysis, Zhuo Wu frowned and looked down from the hole. Then his brows relaxed and he stroked Chi Yan's mane. After comforting Chi Yan, he mounted his horse and waved at Ye Hong Tian.
"Since we can't find anything, then let's not investigate. In any case, nothing has happened to us. It's more important to hurry to the Sword Sect." Zhuo Wu said with a smile.
Ye Hong Tian nodded slightly. He was glad that Zhuo Wu didn't continue to investigate. Otherwise, he would have to spend a long time here. He didn't want to waste his time on such a boring thing.
He jumped on the horse, indicating that Zhuo Wu could continue his journey. Ye Hong Tian took out a candied gourd from his Cosmos Sack and ate it.
From time to time, he would use the candied gourd stick to brandish a sword technique or a spear technique on the horse. This made Zhuo Wu, who was focusing on riding the horse, become distracted and watch. He kept praising Ye Hong Tian's superb skills, even though there were only two people and one horse. However, he was not very bored along the way.
