The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 917 - 1017: You’re Too Late

Ye Tianfan, realizing the abnormality with the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji, spurred his horse and rushed to the previous location, a land of birdsong and floral fragrance, hurrying as fast as he could, though it still took quite a bit of time.As Ye Tianfan arrived outside the land of birdsong and floral fragrance, he was suddenly blocked by a transparent film. He understood that this was an Array set up to block him, probably set up when he left last time.

Seeing the Array blocking him, Ye Tianfan truly realized this time that there was indeed something important at play here with the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji.

Ye Tianfan quickly grabbed the Fire Lotus Sword in his hand, then slashed fiercely at the film three times.

However, his Sword Qi only caused a slight ripple on the film and then had no further effect.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan realized that this Array was not something he could easily solve, even though his Sword Qi earlier hadn't utilized the Taihuo Peak secret technique to the extreme, it was still nearly his full power, after all.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan couldn't even identify what kind of Array this was, or what weaknesses it might have.

This made Ye Tianfan somewhat frustrated, silently deciding that once he returned to the sect, he would learn some basic Array knowledge, if only to recognize what type an Array might belong to.

As golden light scattered within the Array, Ye Tianfan knew a treasure was about to emerge, yet he could only stand helplessly outside, watching it being taken by others. From his vantage point, he couldn't even see the source of the golden light, let alone what the treasure looked like or if it had been taken.

Ye Tianfan, feeling distressed, slammed his fist onto the Array and then raised the Fire Lotus Sword again, unwilling to give up.

Next, Ye Tianfan infused a large amount of Spiritual Power into the Flame Sword, intending to use the Taihuo Peak secret technique to break the Array or find its weak point.

Suddenly, the Fire Lotus Sword was filled with a fiery red glow, then erupted with fierce flames, causing disturbances all around, changing the colors of heaven and earth!

Crimson flames soared into the sky, fierce winds roared, and the sea of clouds churned!

This situation arose due to Ye Tianfan's control issues with the four styles; had he been able to fully control them, this wouldn't have happened.

Of course, in Ye Tianfan's current state, he couldn't completely manage the four styles because the violent Spiritual Power they generated was something he couldn't suppress, at least not without reaching the high levels of Qian Yuan.

Only if Ye Tianfan reached the high levels of Qian Yuan would his control over Spiritual Power improve significantly, allowing for better mastery of higher-quality Spiritual Power.

In fact, if Ye Tianfan had started practicing the Taihuo Peak secret technique at his current level, he might have been able to perform the second style effortlessly given his current power, control, and quality of Spiritual Power.

With practice, the third style could also be mastered.

The secret manual of Taihuo Peak is essentially about the relationship between ability, quality, and control. The higher the quality of your Spiritual Power, the higher the secret technique you can unleash.

Conversely, even if you're at the pinnacle of your realm, if your control doesn't match Ye Tianfan's current level, you might manage only the second or third style at best, as the quality of your Spiritual Power limits you!

As Ye Tianfan slashed down, an invisible Sword Qi rushed towards the film, targeting the Array, carving deep chasms between earth and sky.

Yet, it was still completely blocked by the film, with the ripples on the Array enlarging but dispersing only slowly.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan's eyes lit up, but the light quickly dimmed, realizing he couldn't use this technique often; it wasn't about lacking Spiritual Power, but his meridians couldn't handle such large surges of Spiritual Power rapidly.

Suddenly, Ye Tianfan remembered the Twisted Fire he had subdued earlier. Could using it to distort the Array work? With this thought, Ye Tianfan immediately summoned the Twisted Fire and pushed it fiercely against the Array.

This time, summoning the Twisted Fire used up a whole fifty percent of Ye Tianfan's Spiritual Power.

Then Ye Tianfan saw the ripples in the Array shake violently, as if a large stone had been thrown into a pond of water, becoming transformed into primitive patterns, dispersed in the air. Ye Tianfan saw hope in these ripples.

Ye Tianfan now understood his Twisted Fire did have a significant effect in breaking the Array.

Soon, the Array shattered like broken glass, collapsing with a crash.

Seeing the Array break, Ye Tianfan hurriedly flew inside, knowing he might be late since the golden light was fading away.

The dissipation of the golden light meant the artifact had likely been taken by the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji, so going in now might be stepping into a trap, delivering himself as prey.

Nonetheless, Ye Tianfan wanted to see if the artifact had indeed been taken by Zhang Youji. If it hadn't, perhaps there was still a chance.

When Ye Tianfan flew to the small pond where he last parted ways with Zhang Youji, he saw Zhang Youji smiling, and his heart sank, sensing deep unease.

That smile meant success, so Ye Tianfan wanted to leave, but Zhang Youji turned around with a smile, saying, "You're late. I've already stored it away. If you want it, you'll have to kill me first to get it."

Ye Tianfan's expression changed upon hearing Zhang Youji's words. Though he wanted to take Zhang Youji down and retrieve the item, he did not know what it was. But he felt it was better in his hands than in the enemy's. Yet Ye Tianfan felt powerless, realizing that perhaps one day he could easily defeat Zhang Youji, but currently, the gap was vast. Zhang Youji could just flick his finger and send Ye Tianfan flying miles away.
