The Prince of the World Chapter 17: Condensing Whirling Qi Circles

On hearing this, Xuan Zhan nodded.

After Xue Zhan confirmed the news, every one became worried. Yao Ling said with great anxiety, “I must persuade Shingxiong Yan to give it up. It's far too reckless. Shixiong Xuan, is Shixiong Yan here?”

A flicker of hesitation on Xuan's face stirred up Situ Xue's fear, “Please, Shixiong Xue. Tell us where is Li.”

Situ Xue was so anxious that she forgot to called Yan Li with “Shixiong,” but called him “Li.”

“Yes. Please, Shixiong Xuan, tell us where is Shixiong Yan.” Lin Wen and Lin Wu entreated.

Xue Zhan was gratified as he saw their nervous expressions. “Don't worry, Shixiong Yan is holing up!”

“What? No time has left for holing up. I have to talk him out of this contest!”

Yao Ling walked to Yan Li's room while speaking, but was stopped by Xue Zhan. “Shimei Yao. Shixiong Yan asked me to keep others away from disturbing him while he is holing up.”

With the change of a cold expression on her pretty face, Yao said resolutely “No, I must stop him. Ye Tianyu is in the Yuan realm. Shixiong Yan will die in the contest against him. Xuan Zhan, don't stand on my way. Do you want to harm Shixiong Yanr?”

Xue Zhan could not wait explaining the misunderstanding, “Shimei Yao, why do you think like that. I respect Shixiong Yan. I won't do any harm to him!”

Yao Ling sneered, "Since you don't want to hurt Shixiong Yan. Let me go! Lin Wen and Lin Wu. Help me stop Xue Zhan. Shimei Situ and I will go to see Shixiong Yan!”

"Moment, I have something to say. " Xue Zhan decided to tell them the truth as he realized it was impossible to stop them.

The four looked at him, and Xue Zhan opened his mouth slowly, “Before his holing up, Shixiong Yan told me that he was confident that he can break through into the Yuan realm.”

“What?" Break through into the Yuan realm!”

On hearing this, all four were surprised and thinking if Shixiong Yan could break through into a new realm before the fight, he might have a chance to defeat Ye Tianyu.

"Wow, that's great! What a genius Shixiong Yan is!” Situ Xue couldn't help praising Yan Li.

“Shh! Do not spread the information. Wait until Shixiong Yan finish his holing up.” Xue warned the four ntr to disclose the secret with a solemn expression.

Inside the room.

Yan Li had been fully immersed in the practice. With great concentration, the vigor in him was thick enough to be controlled so as to condense a whirling Qi circle. Several of them can from a cycle, and it is called the sea of Qi.

This is the Ningyuan realm.

It's simple to describe, but hard to achieve, because the vigor which was simply condensed would not be completely controlled.

The forming of whirling Qi circles needed subtle cooperation. A tiny mistake would destroy all of the previous efforts. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Qi practitioners who had spent all their lives only to find themselves remaining in the statement of fullness with Qi but could not step into a new realm of Yuan.

Following the guidance of Yan's mind, the vigor began to spin slowly. With a breakthrough experience in his previous life and the souls of three other people, he had a strong mind. So, it's easy for him to control the vigor. Otherwise, he would not have made such an ambitious remark that he could break through into the Yuan realm.

As time went on, the condition of the vigor in Yan's body began to change as a whirling Qi circle was formed gradually.

Two hours later, a thumb-sized whirling Qi circle was formed inside him. Instead of relaxing, he continued to condense a second Qi circle.

Plenty of whirling Qi circles could make up the sea of Qi. An average warrior was able to form a Qi sea with three condensed whirling circles for the reason that the construction of triangle is stable.

However, some talented warriors could absorb enough vigor to form the Qi sea with five, seven, or nine whirling circles.

The more whirling circles a Qi sea contained, the more powerful the sea would be, and the owner could absorb more vigor in the future. In his previous life, with Yan Li's soul attached to Liang Chen's body, he had created five Qi circles while breaking into the Yuan realm.

In this life, with his talent and spiritual strength far greater than that in his previous life, he intended to form a Qi sea with nine whirling circles. If successful, he would be three times more powerful than average warriors.

Time was elapsing...

On the fifth hour of Yan's holing up, the second whirling Qi circles was formed smoothly. For a moment, he was a little excited, then he continued after a short break.

Outside his room, Xue Zhan and other four disciples were warding off for him and waiting for his breakthrough, but people in the out-door Dahuang Palace got excited.

Under the manipulation of Ye Tianyu, the news that Yan Li had challenged him and they would have an open martial contest spread all over among the out-door disciples in only a few hours.

An out-door disciple challenged an in-door disciple!

Upon hearing the news, everyone considered Yan over-confident, but then they wondered and began to ask who was Yan Li.

Soon, Yan's story was searched out and publicized by people with unspeakable intentions—Yan Li, a child of a small elite family. Fourteen years old. Joined the Dahuang Palace three days ago. Ascended to the eighteenth step in the second pass of the entrance test.

“Well, how arrogant Yan Li is! Though he had reached the 18thstep, only few days have passed. Does he really think that he is capable of challenging a Yuan realm warrior, doesn't he? He overestimated himself!”

“I feel the same! He's over-confident! Who he is indeed!”

“He is looking for an insult. He will lose our faces.”

…

Various comments spread among the out-door disciples. Most people didn't think that Yan Li could win. Only a small amount of people said he had a good courage, but neither did they think he could beat Ye Tianyu.

In Lin Jingyun's yard.

Lin was surprised about the news. He didn't expect that Yan Li had such courage to challenge Ye Tianyu. Not knowing why, he was a little uncomfortable hearing those derogatory words about Yan.

“Yan Li, don't let me down! Otherwise, you are not qualified to be my adversary!”

A day later.

The news that Yan Li had challenged Ye Tianyu spread even wider with many in-door disciples paying attention to this matter.

Several in-door disciples gathered together.

One said, “Ye Tianyu has regressed to a childish statement. He is wasting his energy competing with an out-door disciple!”

Another interfered, “Shixiong Zuo Han, I've heard that Yan, the out-door disciple, had beat up Ye Yun, the little brother of Ye Tianyu.”

Seemingly enlightened, Zuo Han said, “No wonder. I wish that he would not be so weak and could withstand a few more attacks before he is defeated!”

“Why? Are Shixiong Zuo interested such thing? How about us two gambling on this?”

“Good idea! Let's do it!”

Soon, another piece of news spread all over that the in-door disciples Zuo Han and Wang Ziming bet on the result of the contest between Yan and Ye. The odds were one to ten.

Many gamblers bet on this, most of whom considered Ye would win, while only a small amount of them chose Yan.

Three days passed quickly, and it was only four hours ahead of the contest.

With closed eyes, Yan Li still immersed in practicing with heart and soul. Up to now, there had been eight whirling Qi circles inside him. Only one last to go before creating a Qi sea.

Yet he had ran out of the inside vigor and could not condense the ninth Qi circle. It was detrimental.
