Martial Defiance Across Nine Thousand Realms

"Ye Han!"

"Remember, my name is... my name is Chu Youshi!"

The girl's dark eyes gazed at Ye Han, then she slightly bowed her head, her face as radiant as jade under the glow of the redwoods, like a new moon halo, her lips parting lightly.

"Chu Youshi!"

Ye Han read the three characters and nodded seriously: "I'll remember that!"

"We're leaving!"

Chu Tianxin, who had been conversing with the higher-ups of the Cycle Academy, turned around and looked at his daughter.

"Goodbye... see you again!"

Chu Youshi hurriedly waved to Ye Han, then followed Chu Tianxin and the others towards the distance.

As the group walked away, Ye Han slowly moved his feet and approached his teacher.

"Ye Han, are you alright?" Mo Qingrou looked at him with concern: "Teacher... I've implicated you."

She held Ye Han's hands, feeling the pulse of his heartbeat, sensing his physical condition.

"What are you talking about, teacher? It's me who's implicated you. If it weren't for me, you would still be living in seclusion in Flame City, undisturbed..." Ye Han suddenly spoke.

Just as the last word left his mouth, his body suddenly shook, and veins bulged on his skin.

His blood and divine power began to surge uncontrollably. Ye Han quickly sat down cross-legged and circulated the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique to adjust his breath.

It was the backlash from Lu Yunxiao's palm strike that had momentarily calmed his body. Now, a drop of Dragon Qi that had entered his body was churning again, not only transforming into a vast amount of divine power but also causing changes in Ye Han's body once more.

Creak, creak...!

The sound of bone transformation, inaudible to others, occurred.

Ye Han felt an itchy pain in his right arm, followed by alternating sensations of warmth and coolness.

"Ye Han?"

Mo Qingrou was extremely worried and quickly spoke up, but for a moment, she felt helpless.

"Teacher, I'm fine!"

Ye Han suddenly opened his eyes and forced out five words.

Indeed, he was more than fine; at this moment, Ye Han was ecstatic!

Back when he first encountered the Nine Realms Dragon-Sealing Tower, the birth of the Heavenly Dragon Battle Physique was similar: itchy arms, alternating cold and heat, leading to a transformation.

This was... bone fissure, the birth of a Divine Bone!

Ye Han could clearly feel a piece of bone in his arm growing stronger, nurturing an indescribable new power within.

This power continued for twenty breaths and had already become immensely vast, as if it would burst Ye Han's body.

Hold on!

Ye Han's body ached, but he clenched his teeth tightly!

He knew that if he couldn't endure, this new power would definitely tear apart his meridians and flesh, leaving him with no place to be buried.

Gradually, an inexplicable aura emanated from within Ye Han, spreading in all directions.

In that instant, everyone gathered around felt a tremor in their souls, but they were all clueless as to what had happened.

"Hisss...!"

Ye Han took in a sharp breath, and his furrowed brows finally relaxed.

In his right arm, a brand new Divine Bone had been perfectly nurtured.

Compared to the Heavenly Dragon Battle Bone that had been taken from him, this new Divine Bone was tens, if not hundreds of times stronger...

If the Heavenly Dragon Battle Bone was likened to a stubborn stone, then this new Divine Bone was like a precious divine jade from the heavens, something anyone would go crazy for.

But with the experience of having his Battle Bones taken away, Ye Han was now extremely cautious. As soon as the Battle Bone was born, he concealed his aura, not letting anyone detect a hint of it.

"What a powerful Divine Bone!"

Ye Han was shocked. Compared to the "Dragon Qi" in the original Heavenly Dragon Battle Bone, the Dragon Qi in this new Divine Bone was pure and extremely precious, the essence of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Ye Han knew that he had finally given birth to... the Eternal Invincible Dragon Body.

According to the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique, only after stepping into the Divine Power Realm and his flesh and muscles being able to withstand it, could the Eternal Invincible Dragon Body be born and nurtured.

Such a physique was too strong; even a change in a single bone would bring immense power.

But this time, due to enduring the pressure from Lu Yunxiao, in a life-and-death moment, he forcibly connected with the Nine Realms Dragon-Sealing Tower, allowing a drop of Dragon Qi to condense and merge into his body, essentially starting the nurturing of the Eternal Invincible Dragon Body ahead of time.

At the edge of the land, Chu Tianxin's figure was almost disappearing, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Turning his head back in an instant, Chu Tianxin's pupils shrank as if sensing something. Originally intending to leave, he suddenly returned with Chu Youshi at a quick pace.

"Your name is Ye Han?"

"I, Chu Tianxin, invite you to join the Incinerate Moon Academy as the deputy head, and you can be directly promoted to an ordinary disciple. How about it?" Chu Tianxin got straight to the point, actually trying to recruit Ye Han into the Incinerate Moon Academy.

"Incinerate Moon Academy?"

Memories surged in Ye Han's mind, and he recalled his teacher mentioning that there were three major academies in the Primordial Void Domain: the Cycle Academy, the Incinerate Moon Academy, and the Dragon-Slaying Academy.

All three academies stood above the eight great dynasties of the Primordial Void Domain, and the Incinerate Moon Academy, with its ancient heritage and astonishing depth, was only slightly weaker than the Cycle Academy, but not by much.

"I...!"

Ye Han didn't know why such a figure as Chu Tianxin would turn back, but at this moment, he was indeed tempted.

These days, Luo Tianzheng, Li Kai, and today's Lu Yunxiao and others had appeared, diminishing his good feelings towards the Cycle Academy.

But at this moment, he hesitated.

If he joined the Cycle Academy, whether it was seeking revenge on Luo Tianzheng or dealing with the malicious Ye Zhixuan and Lu Yunxiao, he could do so legitimately.

At worst, he could settle the issues on the Cycle Academy's stage of life and death, where no one could complain, and even senior brother Feng and senior sister Yin behind them couldn't stop him.

But if he entered the Incinerate Moon Academy, seeking revenge would be as difficult as reaching the heavens. If he really went to kill Ye Zhixuan, finding an opportunity would be incredibly slim.

However, if he didn't join the Cycle Academy, his teacher wouldn't suffer any more grievances, at least making it not so easy for senior sister Yin to trouble the teacher again.

"Inner Disciple!"

Chu Tianxin actually changed his offer, directly promising the status of an Inner Disciple: "If you join, you can be directly promoted to an Inner Disciple. In the history of the Incinerate Moon Academy, there are less than five such cases."

Beside him, Chu Youshi blinked her eyes, quietly watching Ye Han at this moment.

"Deputy Head Chu, openly poaching isn't the style of the Incinerate Moon Academy, is it?" At this moment, a hearty voice came from not far away.

Ye Han saw an elderly man, around sixty years old with graying temples, smiling as he approached.

He looked at Ye Han on the ground: "You're a new disciple of our Cycle Academy? If you're here, you must have already received your identity token, right?"

"Disciple Ye Han!"

Ye Han took out the Cycle Academy's disciple token from his chest.

"Hmm!"

The old man nodded, smiling at Chu Tianxin: "Deputy Head Chu has seen it, Ye Han has the identity token in hand, and has already successfully joined our Cycle Academy."

Chu Tianxin's brows furrowed slightly, calmly looking at Ye Han: "It seems that some people in the Cycle Academy don't really welcome you."
