Chapter 1320: Chapter 1316: Elder Guo’s Miscalculation!
"It seems to be the case!" Ye Tian nodded his head, quickly realizing why he felt so familiar with the layout of this room! "This place is almost identical to the arrangement in Elder Guo’s different space!"
"Is it really Elder Guo!?"
Upon hearing the words "Elder Guo," Tian Qi was equally excited.
To her, Elder Guo was her savior, and because of Elder Guo, she became strong enough to protect those she wanted to protect!
"..."
As for Daichong, he remained silent.
Among the three, only Daichong had never met Elder Guo. He was unfamiliar with this benefactor that Ye Tian and Tian Qi constantly mentioned, and since he wasn’t familiar, he had no need to comment.
"There isn’t anywhere to sit here, but it seems there is no other exit either, so it’s best to wait here. Perhaps Elder Guo will come to this room soon."
Ye Tian suggested, and both Tian Qi and Daichong nodded in agreement, then sat on the ground, waiting slowly.
Before long, a passage opened in front of them, and a familiar voice echoed from the passage!
"Ye Tian, you finally came. I’ve been waiting for a long time!"
The voice was none other than Elder Guo!
Everyone immediately looked towards the passage, where an elderly figure emerged, walking towards them. Who else could it be but Elder Guo?
"Elder Guo!"
Tian Qi greeted Elder Guo enthusiastically upon seeing him, while Elder Guo nodded in response to her.
Daichong looked at the old man in front of him in surprise; despite Elder Guo’s ordinary attire, there was a distinctly chilling aura emanating from him, causing Daichong to feel a bit intimidated...
What level has this elderly man reached?
Heavenly Person, Broken Realm... or even a higher martial arts realm?
"Master, long time no see!"
Ye Tian greeted respectfully, as Elder Guo had acknowledged him as his disciple, so naturally, they referred to each other as master and disciple.
But Elder Guo looked at Ye Tian sternly and said, "Ye Tian, I asked you to recover from your injuries in the different space, why did it take you so long to recover? Does it mean your martial arts realm is lagging behind?"
Guo Lao’s words made Tian Qi and Daichong exchange glances.
The speed at which Ye Tian recovered his injuries and strength, given the severity of his wounds, was already considered quite fast, yet Elder Guo still thought it slow...
It seems that although Ye Tian’s progress appeared rapid in everyone’s eyes, to his master, it seemed relatively slow.
Facing Elder Guo’s reproach, Ye Tian did not refute but simply explained, "I’m truly sorry, Master. During the fight with the two elders of the Black Hole Clan, the injuries were a bit severe, so it took a little longer during energy regulation."
"Let me take a look!"
Elder Guo looked at Ye Tian solemnly, placing his hand on Ye Tian’s pulse.
Ye Tian could only let Elder Guo feel his pulse, and Elder Guo, worthy of being Ye Tian’s master, immediately found the reason for Ye Tian’s slow recovery after a brief check!
"So that’s it! Ye Tian, during energy regulation, you deliberately bypassed the ’Guanyuan Acupoint,’ and went straight for the ’Intestinal Organs.’ This mistake made from youthful impatience back then has not been corrected yet!"
Elder Guo remarked sharply.
When Ye Tian was young, Elder Guo taught him medical skills, but Ye Tian, relying on his innate talent, sometimes forcefully understood certain techniques.
This forced understanding sometimes resulted in Ye Tian gaining twice the result with half the effort, but sometimes it caused a negative impact on his medical skills. Whether treating his own injuries or others, it led to some bad habits.
For example, bypassing the slightly difficult "Guanyuan Acupoint," and taking the "Intestinal Organs" route, and then rebounding to the "Guanyuan Acupoint" after breaking through the "Intestinal Organs." This kind of approach, though Ye Tian had mastered it skillfully, is generally considered the wrong way.
Precisely because of this, it took Ye Tian longer to heal his internal injuries compared to Elder Guo’s expectations...
"Sorry, Master!"
Ye Tian immediately apologized after being pointed out his mistake by Elder Guo.
Elder Guo nodded immediately and said, "Ye Tian, whether it’s martial arts or medical arts, you should progress gradually, without seeking shortcuts. Your aptitude surpasses ordinary martial artists, so your progress is rapid, but sometimes fundamentals are equally important. Everything follows its course, steadily is the correct path.
"In your future cultivation, you should gradually eliminate the bad habits you’ve cultivated over the years. Follow my methods to solidify your foundation and trace back to the roots. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Ye Tian said enthusiastically, and on Elder Guo’s face, there was also an expression of satisfaction.
"Good, good. Finally, you’re teachable. Now, there’s no need for any more unnecessary words. You three must be hungry, right?"
Elder Guo glanced at Ye Tian and the others. As martial artists with Inner Strength protection, they can go without eating or drinking for quite a long time.
However, not eating anything is not viable, so before the battle in the southern city, Elder Guo must let the three have a feast!
So Elder Guo waved his hand, and the different space channel leading to this room immediately vanished, replaced by another channel.
Elder Guo reached his hand into the channel and subsequently took out a box of energy drinks!
Martial artists are like athletes; this kind of energy drink doesn’t just quench thirst but also significantly replenishes a martial artist’s strength. Hence, the three grabbed the energy drinks and drank up heartily.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp~~~~~~~~~~"
Ye Tian, Daichong, and Tian Qi made crisp sounds while drinking. Even a lady like Tian Qi, due to her origins in the Black Hole Clan, showed no shyness like ordinary women, drinking just as unabashedly as Ye Tian and Daichong.
"Drink slowly, don’t choke!"
Elder Guo laughed. After the three had drunk their fill, he reached into the channel again and took out many delicacies!
Steak, roast duck, pizza, hamburgers, cream cakes...
All high-calorie foods that greatly replenish strength!
Since it’s in front of Elder Guo, Ye Tian, Daichong, and Tian Qi naturally have no hesitation, and start feasting...
The massive energy depleted in the battle in the southern city finally received effective replenishment.
The three ate for a good while before finally feeling full, collapsing to the ground, and starting to carefully convert the food into energy!
Daichong sighed and said, "Different space is really a magical thing. Just reach out, and you can get whatever you want. If this thing could be widespread around the world, people’s lifestyle might change entirely!"
Elder Guo silently nodded and said, "Indeed, however, the Black Hole Clan stole the technology of different space without intending to benefit the people, instead using it in battle. Their usage has long deviated from the intended path.
In fact, the saying ’Technology changes lives’ isn’t false, but technology is a double-edged sword. Once grasped by those with ulterior motives, technology originally meant to benefit the public can be transformed into a tool for harm!"
Daichong marveled, "Elder Guo, do you mean the Black Hole Clan’s different space technology was stolen? Where did they steal it from exactly?"
"Well... it’s a long story!"
Elder Guo smiled slightly, and from his expression, Ye Tian could tell he seemed reluctant to elaborate on the matter of different space.
So Ye Tian immediately interrupted the conversation between Elder Guo and Daichong, saying, "Master, why have you come here? Didn’t you say before that in the battle between the southern city and the elders of the Black Hole Clan, you wouldn’t intervene? Moreover, you said that this battle was a test for me!"
"I did say that!" Elder Guo also nodded, "However, at certain times, a ’variable’ occurred, so I came immediately!"
"A variable?"
Ye Tian was slightly shocked. What did Elder Guo mean by a variable?
"Yes, the variable is Dong Feng Elder, the ruler of the Black Hole Clan. His power has already reached the ’Broken’ realm!"
Elder Guo said heavily, his face showing a grave expression.
The so-called realm of "Shattering the Void" is a level above the "Unity of Heaven and Man" realm, while Ye Tian’s realm is currently that of a Heavenly Person realm, and Dong Feng Elder is one level above Ye Tian!
No wonder Dong Feng Elder is so formidable. In front of him, ordinary martial artists simply can’t maintain conscious awareness...
Seeing Ye Tian and the others’ serious expressions, Elder Guo added, "Ye Tian, when you led a group of martial artists to invade the southern city, the intelligence I held showed that the four elders of the Black Hole Clan were only at the Heavenly Person realm. They were just slightly above your realm. With your current power, if you kept calm, you might be able to defeat them.
However, the Broken realm is different. Once a martial artist enters this realm, their strength will be completely different from the previous Heavenly Person realm. You could say, this is a realm close to ’divine.’ With your mere Heavenly Person realm strength, defeating an elder of Dong Feng’s level might be challenging, hence I had to step in."
Elder Guo’s words left Ye Tian and the others silent.
No wonder Dong Feng Elder was so arrogant when appearing; it turns out he had already gained power sufficient to disregard everything!
And Tian Qi immediately asked, "Elder Guo, what’s the means that Dong Feng Elder utilized to step into the Broken realm?"
