Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”Since I know who it is, this matter is easy to handle.”

Li Yun’s expression was indifferent.

Although Yun Canglan had a profound background and extraordinary power, Li Yun would not shrink back in fear because of it.

Back when he first entered the Heavenly Sword Sect, he dared to directly slay Crown Prince Xuan Tian.

Even if Yun Canglan’s origin was more impressive, Li Yun was completely unafraid.

When it was necessary to kill, he would kill without hesitation.

Immediately, Li Yun looked toward the other two people. They were the two cultivators who had accompanied Shi Tianming and helped lure the Dark Rampage Bears toward him.

”Senior Brother Li, this has nothing to do with us.”

The two cultivators immediately shuddered. Their faces turned pale as they screamed, ”We were only misled by Shi Tianming. We did not truly mean to target you. Senior Brother Li, please be merciful and spare us.”

”For the sake of being fellow disciples, I will not kill you.”

Li Yun said indifferently, ”However, you will not be participating in the subsequent trials. I will give you three breaths of time. Leave the Endless Demon Cave immediately.”

”Yes, we will leave right away.”

The two men immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They quickly took out their disciple tokens and shouted, ”Return. I want to return to the sect.”

Although leaving the Endless Demon Cave after only eleven rounds of trials was undoubtedly a huge loss, even Shi Tianming had been killed by Li Yun without hesitation. Being able to save their lives was already extremely fortunate.

Therefore, at this moment, they did not hesitate and immediately teleported away.

During this process, Li Yun indeed had no intention of attacking them.

Although these two people had helped attack him, the threat they posed was limited. Given their strength, Li Yun truly did not regard them as important, so letting them go was fine.

More importantly, the Profound Origin Immortal Sect generally prohibited fighting among fellow disciples. Even though he was an elite disciple, he could not slaughter ordinary disciples at will.

Killing Shi Tianming was acceptable. Since the opponent had attacked first and the evidence was conclusive, the sect could not say much even if Li Yun killed him.

But if he killed both of these men as well, he would likely incur the sect’s punishment.

When unnecessary, Li Yun did not want to violate the sect’s rules, especially since he was currently only an outer sect disciple.

”From now on, I am in charge here.”

He looked toward the remaining white-clad woman and the others and said lightly, ”From now on, all of you must obey my command. I will take half of all crystal cores obtained, and the remaining half will be split evenly among you.”

”Alright.”

Without the slightest hesitation, the white-clad woman and the others nodded in agreement. They all looked as if this was only natural, and a few even showed expressions of gratitude.

In reality, Li Yun’s approach was extremely normal.

Whenever an elite disciple acted alongside ordinary disciples, command authority automatically belonged to the elite disciple, and the elite disciple would take the lion’s share of all gains.

Generally, the split ratio between elite disciples and ordinary disciples was seven to three. Ordinary disciples split thirty percent, while the elite disciple took seventy percent alone.

If they encountered a slightly more overbearing or greedy elite disciple, that person might even take eighty percent of the gains alone, and ordinary disciples could only accept it.

In comparison, Li Yun only asking for half of the gains was already extremely merciful.

Moreover, after Li Yun killed Shi Tianming and drove out the other two, only seven people remained.

Excluding Li Yun, the six of them would split fifty percent of the gains. This was actually not much different from the previous situation where ten people split all the gains.

Under these circumstances, they naturally had no objections.

Of course, this was based on the strength Li Yun had displayed.

If Li Yun were truly just an ordinary cultivator at the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm, probably no one present would pay him any mind, even if he was an elite disciple.

”Next, introduce the domain you specialize in.”

Li Yun spoke.

Since he had taken command, he needed to understand these people’s capabilities in order to coordinate arrangements and last through more rounds within the Endless Demon Cave.

”Ye Qingxue.”

The white-clad woman spoke first. ”I specialize in speed and assassination. By going all out, I can instantly kill ordinary 9th level Heavenly Core Realm demon beasts. However, I can only use my full power twenty times, and I am also lacking in defense.”

”I specialize in defensive sword techniques.”

The green-robed man spoke next. ”My name is Bei Tianque. If I exert my full strength, I can briefly block ten 9th level Heavenly Core Realm demon beasts.”

”I am also quite proficient in defense.”

With the first two speaking, the others followed suit, describing their areas of expertise.

Of course, no one revealed their personal trump cards.

Li Yun did not mind this.

As a cultivator, retaining one’s trump cards was extremely normal. Even if he was an elite disciple, he could not force others to be completely honest with him.

He then made a simple arrangement.

The green-robed man, Bei Tianque, and the two other cultivators who specialized in defense were placed at the front. Ye Qingxue and the other three were positioned at the rear, giving them a safe environment to attack.

As for Li Yun himself, he remained in the center, coordinating and responding according to changes in the situation.

Finally, the sound of uniform movement rang out.

Immediately, black mist drifted out from the Endless Demon Cave, quickly spreading to form a dark curtain across the sky.

Within that dark curtain, rows of cavalry soldiers clad in pitch-black armor and enveloped in black mist stepped out of the Endless Demon Cave with synchronized steps.

The warhorses they rode were three men tall and were also covered in dark battle armor. Except for a pair of cold, dark pupils, their entire bodies were hidden beneath armor, and they exuded a cold and evil aura.

These were none other than the Gloom Death Knights.
