Chapter 221: Go home

The next day.

Ye An and Ji Qing woke up and arrived at Vermilion Bird Star.

Now here was just like Ye An's home.

Upon landing, he stepped directly onto the Vermilion Steps and quickly ascended.

The record left by the Fourth Generation King at the Fourth Realm was 5295 steps.

Ye An quickly stepped into 5000 steps without any pressure.

His expression unchanged, he continued upward.

5100 steps.

Soon he reached 5200 steps.

At this moment, the pressure he felt was much less than before.

Warfire and the state of extremes opened.

He continued to climb, unknowingly stepping into 5250 steps.

Then, he activated Dao Fruit, instantly feeling twice as relaxed.

In the blink of an eye, he reached 5299 steps.

He had broken the historical record, but there was little excitement in his heart. After all, he was almost there before setting off, and he had gained so many opportunities on Tianqi Star; breaking the record was normal.

This matter was not worth Ye An's happiness because he could be sure that many people in this generation could break the record, but they simply didn't come. He was still far from the strongest of the contemporary human race.

At 5299 steps.

The figure of Vermilion Bird appeared beside Ye An, walking shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Not bad, the student surpasses the master."

Ye An quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Vermilion Bird, for your assistance. Without it, Ye An would not be able to see you today."

"Get up quickly." Vermilion Bird snorted lightly. "A man's knees are made for gold and should not kneel easily!"

Ye An hurriedly said, "You are my lifesaver. Without three bows and nine kowtows, it would be a great disrespect."

"Get up! Do you want me to help you up myself?" Vermilion Bird said lightly.

Ye An quickly stood up and bowed his head.

Vermilion Bird was not disappointed by this, but rather quite pleased.

Most people's strength surges, and their wings harden; they look down on this and that, blinded by power.

Ye An, however, still saw the reality clearly.

Staying true to his original intention was a good thing.

Vermilion Bird changed the subject, saying, "You've broken the record, but you don't seem excited."

"Strength is measured in comparison," Ye An sighed. "I know I'm still far behind many of the contemporaries of the human race, let alone the strongest of the present day."

"I am not strong enough."

"If I can walk through here..."

"They surely can too."

"To say something disrespectful, times have changed. The record left by the Fourth Generation King is no longer so out of reach."

Vermilion Bird nodded, "You're right."

"Now the human race's fortune is erupting, and all realms are revealing their cards to deal with the rise of the human race."

"This generation is an era of great competition, undoubtedly much stronger than in the days of the Fourth Generation."

"But the greatness of the Fourth Generation King lies not in this small record."

"When he was at the Fourth Realm, he was no more extraordinary than the peerless heroes in history."

"But his future was astonishing, advancing all the way and finally sitting on the throne of the human king, holding up the heavens for the human race."

Ye An said seriously, "Thank you, Lord Vermilion Bird, for your encouragement."

Ye An believed that Vermilion Bird was telling him that it didn't matter if he wasn't the strongest now; even the Fourth Generation was not that strong at the Fourth Realm.

A true genius should win in the future, not stubbornly fight in the current realm.

No matter how strong the Fourth Realm was, it was only a Fourth Realm and couldn't change anything.

If you want to be the strongest ninth realm, or even the strongest god realm!

However, Vermilion Bird said, "I don't think you understand what I mean."

"Ah?" Ye An was stunned.

"Ye An." Vermilion Bird stared directly at him and said, "I'm not comforting you."

"I'm telling you that your goal should be the position of human king."

"Me?" Ye An was stunned.

He subconsciously wanted to say, I can become the human king?

But then I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Ji Qing last night.

I want to be the strongest evil.

So don't perform.

Too hypocritical!

Ye An, your ambition is as vast as the sky!

So he said seriously, "I will strive for that position."

"Very good." Vermilion Bird nodded. "Often the higher the goal, the better the final result. Even if you don't become the human king in the end, you won't fall into mediocrity."

"Also, I suggest you not seek Azure Dragon."

"Hmm?" Ye An was stunned.

"Azure Dragon can only give you a wind element power, and it cannot make you faster than Li He, Zhao Huaiyi, Ji Qing, and others."

"Even if you get the wind power of Azure Dragon, how can your speed compare to them?"

"You've been with Tianqi Star for so long, haven't you realized that you have a big shortcoming?"

Ye An frowned, thinking carefully.

Besides speed, do I have a huge shortcoming?

Suddenly.

He reacted violently and said, "Are you talking about defense? Do you suggest I find Lord Xuanwu?"

"Correct." Vermilion Bird said lightly. "You have unconscious reserve strength and wind rising."

"This allows you to accumulate strength during evasion."

"But your current level is already high, and you have encountered the existence of the Tianqi."

"You can't evade in front of her."

"You might as well think about how to accumulate strength in defense."

Ye An nodded silently.

Defense.

A path he had never considered.

It's really promising to think about it carefully.

One key point, many speed-type athletes in our generation.

In the future, if there is a war, I can hold the strongest enemy with defense, let the speed-type athletes kill, and finally be sure to rush back to support myself in time.

For example, when I competed with Tianqi.

If my defense is strong enough, I don't have to fight to such a miserable point at all.

Before I become a real hexagonal warrior, I can let my teammates make up for my shortcomings. I have more speed than a few Azure Dragons, and it seems that I am really not as good as a few Xuanwu.

Ye An nodded silently.

Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly asked, "Is there any way to evade the elimination of the remnants and the starter?"

"Yes." Vermilion Bird replied without hesitation, "This involves the concept of domain."

"At least you would have to reach the seventh realm to touch it, but this generation is too special."

"So you have to learn about the knowledge of the field in advance."

Vermilion Bird raised his hand.

In an instant, the world around Ye An turned into a purgatory filled with raging fire.

Vermilion Bird stood in the middle of the field, saying lightly, "This is my field, my world, everything controlled by me."

"The rules here are set by me."

"Erase, is to manipulate the rules in the field!"

"But martial intent can block everything, including rules."

"So after you release your martial intent, you can make the one you are in no longer subject to the rules of the domain."

"If your martial intent is strong enough, the larger the scope of release, the more rules you can offset."

"But this has nothing to do with evasion; it's still in the realm of defense."

"If you want to evade, you have to make the opponent's field disappear, which means making the rule power covering the entire battlefield disappear."

Ye An nodded quickly, "How do you make the opponent's field disappear?"

Vermilion Bird said lightly, "In your situation, there are two ways."

"First: domain clash."

"You also open the domain. If the two sides form a clash, both sides' domains will disappear, and then your evasion will have a place."

"Second point, martial intent release."

"As long as your martial intent is powerful enough, you can also drown the opponent's field."

Vermilion Bird's tone suddenly accelerated, saying, "Ye An, I don't recommend that you practice the domain. This is a time-consuming and laborious pit."

"Your heart of transition, talent, and fruit all have the effect of enhancing martial intent."

"So I suggest you put most of your energy into refining martial intent."

"Use martial intent to take over the battlefield."

"In front of a powerful martial artist, the field is actually useless."

Ye An was surprised, "What about domain transformation?"

"It's the move Ji Qing used at the time."
