Guan Yue paused and thought for a moment, realizing that the problem lay in two aspects: first, he still could not fully unleash his cultivation at the Attainment Realm; second, his opponent's Li Zu Divine Fist technique was so perfect that it could be described as unparalleled and flawless. With these two advantages combined, it was no surprise that he lost.
Thus, Guan Yue repeatedly sparred with his opponent using Li Zu Divine Fist, experiencing the application of Essence during their battles. Upon reaching the Attainment Realm, aside from utilizing Inner Strength and Origin Energy, one must also learn to apply the power of Essence to become a true Transcendent Practitioner. After entering this realm, Inner Strength became more abundant, Origin Energy more formidable, and the central role of Essence began to emerge.
Inner Strength is primarily used for self-protection, while Origin Energy is projected outward to attack opponents. Essence acts as an accelerator and amplifier for Origin Energy. Through the influence of Essence, the attacking power of Origin Energy can increase significantly. For instance, in the Attainment Realm, around five hundred drops of Essence can enhance the attacking performance of Origin Energy by about three times.
Moreover, Essence can be used independently for Mental Attack. Since Essence is generated from blood, the older and more profound the bloodline, the greater the damage inflicted on opponents. If the attacker possesses strong Mental Strength, their Mental Attack can directly incapacitate or severely injure their opponent.
Therefore, once a Disciple reaches the Attainment Realm, they must learn some methods of Mental Attack.
Following this principle, Guan Yue repeatedly practiced using Essence techniques. After dozens of failures, his Li Zu Divine Fist gradually approached perfection. Additionally, as Guan Yue's control over Essence became increasingly refined, he finally managed to defeat his opponent without relying on any Willpower.
The opponent fell and immediately vanished.
While mastering the control of Essence, he simultaneously deepened his grasp of Mental Strength and further honed his Li Zu Divine Fist.
After defeating his opponent, another black-faced Disciple at the Peak of the Human Realm emerged from the Refining Pool. Guan Yue smiled; it turned out he could continue fighting.
He quickly switched to using the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword to battle his new opponent. Guan Yue employed the Seven Swords Sky Sword Technique while his opponent also utilized the same technique. Since Guan Yue was now quite skilled in using Essence, they initially fought evenly against the Black-Faced Opponent.
After several trials, Guan Yue grew more courageous with each battle and finally triumphed over the Black-Faced Opponent. At this point, he still did not use any Willpower.
The Black-Faced Opponent finally fell.
Immediately after, another Disciple from the Guardian Realm appeared in the Refining Pool. A distinct red halo marked his waist; this was a symbol of martial arts color representing the Guardian Realm. However, this person's red hue was quite faint, indicating that he was of low rank within the Guardian Realm.
At this moment, Guan Yue was no match for the opponent and was quickly knocked down.
Guan Yue found it very strange; was it really impossible to win just because of a single major realm difference? No matter how Guan Yue utilized Inner Strength, Origin Energy, or Essence, he could not shake his opponent. In the end, Guan Yue even used all of his Nine Pulse Will, barely managing to exchange dozens of blows with his opponent, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat.
Guan Yue felt a deep apprehension towards the Disciple of the Guardian Realm; it turned out that Guardian Realm Practitioners were so formidable!
Guan Yue was unwilling to accept defeat and continued to battle fiercely for dozens of rounds, yet there was still no hope of victory. Each time he lost thoroughly. Of course, with each battle, the amount of Essence that Guan Yue possessed increased, but as the number of battles rose, the rate of increase in Essence gradually diminished.
Seeing the dejected expression on Guan Yue's face, the opponent spoke up: "Child, you can't be more than eleven years old, can you? It's already impressive to be able to fight an Old Man like this. You should know that the Guardian Realm and Attainment Realm are worlds apart; only one in ten thousand Disciples can break through from the Attainment Realm to the Guardian Realm. The amount of Essence in the Guardian Realm is ten thousand drops, while in the Attainment Realm it is only five hundred drops. Many people spend their entire lives stuck in the Attainment Realm."
The opponent took a breath and continued: "I can see that you have one foot already in the Guardian Realm. As long as you keep increasing your Essence, you should have a good chance of breaking through to the Guardian Realm. But do not rush for success; otherwise, it will lead to endless troubles. Remember this well. The Old Man speaks too much; I hope you can keep it in mind."
"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Guan Yue bowed and then asked, "How did you end up in this Refining Pool?"
"Hehe, the Old Man also came here secretly to seek treasures in the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone many years ago but ended up getting caught. I have been here accompanying others in their cultivation ever since; it has been quite beneficial for my own improvement as well."
"What kind of Expert are you? Is there anything I need to notify?"
"What? Can you still enter this Warrior Training Pool?" The Guardian Realm Practitioner’s voice suddenly grew louder, clearly excited.
"Yes, I have connections with the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone and will be coming here often in the future. I also need to prove my continuous progress here," Guan Yue said confidently.
"The Old Man's surname is Jiang; I am a Disciple of the Southern Source Empire. If it's convenient for you, go to a place called Jiang Family Ancestral Temple in Nanyang City within Southern Source's imperial city and tell them that I am still alive. There are three of us from the Jiang family—Jiang Tiannan, Jiang Tianbei, and Jiang Zhongyue—who are still alive. We will definitely return. But you must not tell them we are here; otherwise, it will lead to a great war."
"Rest assured, senior; I will convey this message," Guan Yue replied seriously.
The Guardian Realm Practitioner said, "In that case, I will thank you in advance." Then he chuckled and hurried away.
Guan Yue exited the Warrior Training Pool and realized that two months had actually passed. After some calculation, he found that nearly a year had gone by, and it seemed that he would not be able to enter the three Refining Pools this time. However, Guan Yue was very satisfied with the gains he had made over the year, especially since he had truly entered the Attainment Realm, which brought him great joy.
Now, without using Willpower, Guan Yue could calmly project his Origin Energy over a distance of one thousand meters. Even when using the Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Sword, he could unleash sword energy over two hundred meters. Moreover, after training in the Refining Pool, his fist wind had reached over three hundred meters.
Thinking about all this strengthened Guan Yue's confidence in going out for further training.
Therefore, he asked Na Dong and Na Xi to take him to Duanmu Changying to say goodbye and to take Sen Yirou with him.
Na Dong and Na Xi were unhappy to hear that Guan Yue was leaving. In this forbidden area, there was no one else to talk to; their master and other elders rarely appeared. When Guan Yue arrived, they were very happy, but now that he was about to leave, they felt they would have no one to play with. Moreover, Guan Yue was a nice young boy!
They sullenly led Guan Yue to Duanmu Changying's residence: Paradise.
Guan Yue informed Duanmu Changying about his promise to return to Qilin Academy after a year.
Duanmu Changying had just emerged from seclusion and had elevated her realm significantly, so she was in particularly good spirits. As soon as Guan Yue arrived, she immediately invited him to sit beside her, looking at him from left to right and becoming increasingly satisfied.
She then instructed Na Dong and Na Xi, "From now on, the young master in the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone will be called Duanmu Yue. I, Duanmu Changying, will not fall behind. You two will marry him in the future and help me carry on the family line."
Duanmu Changying's casual remark left Na Dong and Na Xi blushing furiously because they were indeed of marrying age. However, hearing such things from their master in front of a boy made them feel shy, especially since Guan Yue was only ten years old.
Duanmu Changying laughed again and said, "My grandson is quite impressive; living for tens of thousands of years will be very easy for him. Don't underestimate him for being young; he won't take advantage of you. Just pair up nicely. Grandson, did you hear what your grandmother said?"
"I heard," Guan Yue casually replied while thinking about whether Ouyang Shaohua would be willing to marry him. He should ask her about it.
Duanmu Changying immediately became serious and said, "Since you have heard this and the two little girls have no objections, then when you turn eighteen, you will take these two girls into your home and make them your women. From now on, when they have children, they will take my surname, Duanmu. You should remember! The children you have with other women will take your surname Guan." At this moment, Duanmu Changying's face flushed, her spirit was invigorated, and she was very excited.
The two disciples immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master." They had always been by their master's side and knew that Duanmu Changying's current demeanor indicated she was discussing serious matters, so the two girls dared not disobey.
Guan Yue could only smile bitterly and said, "Grandma Duanmu, I am still young; it is quite early to discuss this matter."
"It is not early; it will come around quickly. This matter is settled and does not need further discussion." Duanmu Changying interrupted Guan Yue's words immediately, appearing very domineering.
"Are you going back to Qilin Academy? So you are still a disciple of Qilin Academy," Duanmu Changying said with a happy smile. However, Guan Yue replied, "I have already been expelled from Qilin Academy. I am going back this time to handle my withdrawal procedures."
"Good grandson, why did Qilin Academy expel you?" Duanmu Changying's expression changed immediately to one of anger; she instantly developed a hatred for Qilin Academy.
"Grandma Duanmu, it's nothing much. The Dean had some issues with my master, so it was inappropriate for me to stay there any longer," Guan Yue explained. He was not clear about the details but inferred it might be due to his master since Tai Shi Xiao Xiao had implied as much.
"Your master? Is he the grandfather of this little girl?" Duanmu Changying pointed at Sen Yirou and asked Guan Yue. "He is indeed not straightforward; therefore, he must have many enemies."
"No, my master's name is Shang Fu Xia Tian," Guan Yue clarified.
"Is your dean named Nantian or something else?" Duanmu Changying inquired.
"Nantian. Grandma Duanmu, how do you know about him?" Guan Yue felt puzzled as to how his grandmother would know about his master and Dean Kintian.
