Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1525: Chapter 1525: Purple Lotus Spirit Flame, Burn for Me!

Yang Yi wasn’t actually afraid of Ye Haochuan, he just didn’t expect Ye Haochuan to advance on him so decisively.

”Do you really think coming close will get you what you want? Today I will show you that close combat has long been outdated!” Yang Yi snorted coldly, his pen rapidly sketched out the word ”lock”.

”Xuanwu Force Vein, activate!”

Ye Haochuan ignored his cultivation technique and instead put away the Divine Concealment Sword, launching a fist directly forward.

Yang Yi was disdainful, using his own fist to block. In his view, with his cultivation, he should be able to easily withstand this attack from Ye Haochuan.

But he clearly underestimated Ye Haochuan. In close combat, spiritual energy is one thing, but physical strength is also crucial.

With the assistance of the Xuanwu Force Vein, Ye Haochuan could easily lift over ten thousand pounds without using spiritual energy. The power of this punch was anything but ordinary.

Bam~

The two fists collided, and Yang Yi suddenly felt his body halt, forced to take a step back, his newly formed cultivation technique dissipating.

Seeing the success of his strike, Ye Haochuan’s face lit up with joy as he pressed the attack.

The difference between close combat and cultivation technique attacks was demonstrated here.

If two cultivators were using cultivation techniques against each other, there would inevitably be times when they clashed head-on like this. However, if it were cultivation techniques, after this punch collision, both parties would distance themselves again to prepare for the next technique.

In close combat, however, both must always remain within arm’s reach of each other, attacking back and forth. At such a close range, it’s difficult for either side to gather sufficient spiritual energy, so they must rely on physical strength alone.

No wonder Yang Yi previously disdained Ye Haochuan, as close combat, although exhilarating, has its obvious shortcomings.

The first major shortcoming is having to get so close that you are within reach of the enemy’s fist. At this distance, it’s hard not to be hurt by a cultivator’s technique.

The second major shortcoming is that without the boost from a cultivation technique, the attack power of close combat is significantly reduced, causing little damage to a cultivator.

But now, because of Yang Yi’s disdain, Ye Haochuan successfully avoided the first major shortcoming. As for the second shortcoming, he managed to compensate for it with the Xuanwu Force Vein, making his close combat strength truly formidable.

Yang Yi realized this fact a bit too late.

Once Ye Haochuan gained the upper hand, he relentlessly pressed forward with extraordinary speed.

In the Institute of Extensive Learning’s cultivation techniques, those that amplify personal strength are already rare. Plus, Yang Yi had previously dismissed close combat, never practicing it, leaving him momentarily caught off guard.

Ye Haochuan speculated that Yang Yi was inexperienced in close combat, a possibility that thrilled him, intensifying his attack.

After exchanging several moves, Yang Yi found his arm going numb. Ye Haochuan’s speed was astonishing, and each time Yang Yi barely managed to counter, Ye Haochuan’s next strike was already underway.

After a few exchanges, Yang Yi looked exceptionally battered, his hair starting to get disheveled.

”Now’s the chance!”

Ye Haochuan seized an opening, punching through Yang Yi’s defenses to strike at his Dantian.

The Dantian is the most crucial place for a cultivator, and the least able to bear harm. If the Dantian is damaged, at best it destabilizes one’s cultivation boundary; at worst, it could lead to the complete loss of one’s cultivation.

Ye Haochuan was truly enraged with Yang Yi, otherwise, he wouldn’t have struck so hard.

”Ha!” Yang Yi, seeing the ferocity of Ye Haochuan’s attack, gritted his teeth and let out a heavy shout.

Just as Ye Haochuan’s fist was but inches from Yang Yi’s Dantian, he suddenly felt a surge of powerful spiritual energy rushing forth.

Attacking directly with spiritual energy is far inferior to using a cultivation technique. But at this moment, Yang Yi couldn’t afford to be picky.

A technique requires time to gather, and Ye Haochuan was too close, not giving him any room to do so. The quick and direct use of spiritual energy was the best option available now.

The robust spiritual energy immediately halted Ye Haochuan’s attack, sending him flying. Ye Haochuan wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment.

He had been so close; just one more strike to Yang Yi’s Dantian could have at least destabilized his cultivation, even if it didn’t completely cripple it.

But now, although Yang Yi had expended a significant amount of spiritual energy, being Nascent Soul Late Stage, he still had much more spiritual energy than Ye Haochuan, maintaining a significant advantage.

With the prior experience, it’s certain Yang Yi wouldn’t give Ye Haochuan another chance to get close. The advantage of close combat had effectively vanished.

”Bastard, you dare make me so miserable, I will grind you to dust!” Yang Yi, again infuriated by Ye Haochuan, roared without wasting words on mockery or disdain.

With that said, the tip of his pen rapidly exuded a pool of black ink. Then he pointed a finger at Ye Haochuan, causing the ink to suddenly sprout numerous spines comparable to a sea urchin.

Unlike a sea urchin, however, the ink spines were as flexible as water, continuously extending towards Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan wanted to dodge, but there were too many spines. Though he evaded dozens, one eventually coiled around his ankle, pulling him in. Before he could break free, the other ink spines swarmed in, binding him completely.

Countless demon lines wrapped him up like a dumpling, preventing any escape or attack, even making moving a finger exceedingly difficult.

”Die!” Yang Yi laughed grotesquely, slowly clenching his right hand.

The encircling ink ropes tightened quickly as if he were exerting his grip.

Ye Haochuan felt the crackling of bones throughout his body, feeling as if they could be crushed to pieces at any moment.

Despite Ye Haochuan’s high tolerance for pain, he couldn’t help but cry out in agony.

”In your next life, remember not to provoke those you can’t afford to!” Yang Yi coldly snorted, tightening his grip even faster.

Ye Haochuan found himself completely immobile, unable to use even the most powerful technique.

Damn, looks like this is the only option!

Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth, thinking to himself.

He didn’t even know if this trick would work, but with no alternatives left, he could only risk it all.

”Perspective Eyes!”

With a soft exclamation, his eyes flashed gold, and everything around him became exceptionally clear.

”Transform!”

The golden glow faded as blood-red hues filled his eyes, leaving only his pupils untouched, which became pale blue.

”What is this? Heavenly Eye Awakening? Are you from the Ye Family?” Yang Yi was shocked, his hand loosening the attack.

”No, even in the Ye Family, the eyes during a Heavenly Eye Awakening wouldn’t be this color. Who is he?” Yang Yi stared at Ye Haochuan in shock, lost in thought.

”Purple Lotus Spirit Flame, burn for me!”

The few words erupted from Ye Haochuan as a roar, his rage escalating with the pain throughout his body.

As soon as he finished speaking, purple flames instantly began rising from Yang Yi’s body.

”Ah~” Yang Yi abruptly snapped out of his reverie, his face twisted in agony.
