Chapter 194 - Help

After considering Pu Yuan’s words for a minute, Ye Wei realized that if it wasn’t for his light clones he wouldn’t even had the chance to escape Lu Qianhuan, a three-star returned prime Warrior’s assault, in one piece.

“I get you, I am not ungrateful! However I am not satisfied with it, I will have to fight more returned prime Warriors soon and I will be needing the clone to fight, not to escape.” Ye Wei shook his head and sighed.

“If the clone has its separate Qi flow, then it is more or less a Qi puppet.” Pu Yuan laughed and looked back at Ye Wei comedically. “Well I didn’t create the stance so I am not sure how it works exactly, but I do know someone who is familiar with clones and puppets.”

Ye Wei nodded, having fought stone giants in the Bloodmist Labyrinth, he knew from the back of his mind that the Glacial Emperor was able to remotely controlling structures with Qi.

“Blood Devourer crystals, they were developed by my master to power his automatic defensive system if you did not already know. You can try to make your clone absorb the crystals’ energy.” Pu Yuan swiped his arm, a small pile of transparent red crystals appeared in the middle of the hall.

“Do it slowly, you know about the side effects of the energy these stones carries.” Pu Yuan pointed at the delicate glowing stones.

“Thank you for the advice!” The young Runemaster said gratefully as he looked at the pile.

‘If the clone can become a little stronger, I will be able to crush Lu Qianhuan at his best with the Selenic stances and my Supernova stance!’ Protected by one of the royal families, Ye Wei was going to use it to his advantage and redeem his family’s reputation in Green Moon City.

“This is not much more than an educated guess, you have to try it to confirm if it works!” Pu Yuan let go of Ye Wei’s shoulder, “That’s all I have to say, I will be looking after you if anything should go wrong.”

“Okay!” Ye Wei briefly replied as he activated his light clone. He was experienced with absorbing energy with crystals and didn’t take Pu Yuan’s advice too seriously.

“Crack!” The light clone grabbed one of the crystals and crushed it. The compressed energy was immediately released as it turned into dust, surging into the clone's meridians.

As the clone tried to incorporate the crystal’s energy into its own Qi flow, Ye Wei’s consciousness was getting disrupted by an aggressive killing intent.

“I have learned how to deal with this years ago!” Ye Wei muttered, he was completely calm when he called upon the mystic mount’s energy in his Sentient, which purified the aggression.

Now in a nourishing soothened state, crystal’s energy was doing more good than harm, slightly strengthening Ye Wei’s Sentient.

“Zoom!”

When Ye Wei successfully tamed the aggression, his light clone accepted the Qi.

“You are right! I can improve my clone’s strength by using the crystal!” Ye Wei stood up excitedly and exclaimed at Pu Yuan.

‘Keep absorbing!’ He controlled his clone to crush more and more crystals. He was not at all worried about being consumed by aggressive primal energy, within five hours, Ye Wei had upgraded his clone to two-star returned prime level.

“Pu Yuan, do we have more?” Ye Wei said, looking at the piles of dust where the crystals were placed.

“Those are valuable treasures to many! You can’t even buy them from the Runemaster Union! No, I do not have more of those!” Pu Yuan said, annoyed. He blew onto his beard, stared at Ye Wei and thought, ‘I am not going to let him take shortcuts like this! Especially when it comes to using Blood Devourer crystal!’

“Oh, what a shame.” Ye Wei’s lips moved to one side, there was a cold flash in his eyes. ‘To be honest, it should be fine, a two-star returned prime level clone should be able to draw or even knock out someone like Lu Qianhuan…’

“Mister Pu, thanks for your help. I should be going now!” Ye Wei thought about the awkward situation he put his family in, getting desperate to return home.

Ye Wei activated the teleportation array again as he waved Pu Yuan goodbye, his smile slowly faded into nothing as his figure disappeared in front of the temple’s guardian

“This kid is more talented than master was, with Supreme blood in his veins he might actually be able to overtake the Glacial Emperor’s level. Maybe one day I could really return to the livings…” Pu Yuan muttered after Ye Wei had disappeared, he sighed deeply, clearly displaying that he had unfinished business before he passed away to become what he was now.

“I would love to step outside again, maybe visit my old friends.” Pu Yuan’s hoarse voice sounded, his loneliness echoed in the hallways.

A heavy shower cleansed North Hill Bay, the drops of rain had washed off layers of dusts and dirt off the leaves, the evidence of the recent violent in the area shedded, settled on the ground.

After a sizzling sound shook a few branches meters above ground, a crack ran deep into the earth and a wormhole appeared. Ye Wei quietly walked out of the darkness boundered by the perfectly circular gateway.

“Now where did you go, Lu Qianhuan!?” Ye Wei was completely dry, the raindrops never reached his hair, it was stopped by an invisible force, the water slid off and revealed a spherical shield around him.

‘Starblink Steps!’ Ye Wei’s straightened his fingers, with great precision he dictated the long sequence of specialized runes, a thousand feet wide Qi belt appeared above the trees.

The belt of runic light rapidly grew in length as soon as Ye Wei jumped atop, stretching towards Green Moon City.
