Ye Qingchen's formidable combat power obliterated all of Li Kai's previous disdain for him. At this moment, he didn't even have the courage to face Ye Qingchen alone. After some deliberation, Li Kai waved to his teammates. The nine disciples from Flat Sky Academy moved to surround Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen remained placid, his gaze cold as he watched Li Kai and his group. Yet, the calmer Ye Qingchen appeared, the more panicked Li Kai felt.
"Everyone, be careful. This guy is tricky," Li Kai instructed. "Let's start by draining the nature's spiritual energy around him. Without control over it, a Martial King is no match for a Martial Emperor, no matter how powerful he is." They were, after all, talented disciples from the four major academies. While many Martial Artists in the Martial King Realm could control nature's spiritual energy, Li Kai refused to believe Ye Qingchen's proficiency could compare to theirs as true Martial Emperors. He gave the order just to be safe.
