Dreams and fists shatter the sky

Chapter 279: People and Events That Should Not Be Forgotten

Divine Realm.

Ye An checked the situation of the Abyssal Chessboard on the way. The number of positions held by both players was similar, but they were still on the periphery, far from each other. At this rate, they definitely wouldn't reach the Central King's Chessboard within three days.

At this moment, he already held the right to switch grid colors twice.

Better keep them safe and decide later.

As soon as he arrived home, Ye An immediately dove into the training ground, continuing to refine his unconscious power-storing rune skills.

After a few minutes, Xu Zhiye also arrived.

Hearing footsteps, Ye An subconsciously turned to look.

Xu Zhiye's expression was clearly awkward, unnatural.

He turned his head as if appraising this training ground, trying to see if it could satisfy him.

Yet Ye An always felt he wanted to say something.

Suddenly.

"Have you been practicing in training grounds like this since you were a child?" Xu Zhiye frowned and asked.

In his mind, the equipment conditions here were too primitive, lacking even precise instruments for calculating strength and speed.

Ye An shook his head. "No."

"That's good." Xu Zhiye breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, Ye An continued, "This place is too luxurious for me, I can't afford it."

"Luxurious?" Xu Zhiye's pupils instinctively trembled.

He genuinely couldn't understand Ye An's description.

Then Ye An pointed to the mottled force-testing wall in front of him and smiled, "The basement in our house doesn't even have this."

"How do you measure your strength then?" Xu Zhiye asked.

Ye An replied seriously, "I go to a mountain in my city, pick some rocks. The bigger the rock I can smash, the stronger I am."

"How does that measure." Xu Zhiye was puzzled.

"Well, what about you?" Ye An shrugged.

Suddenly, he laughed, "I'm kidding you."

"I have dreams."

"I train in the world of dreams."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiye, who was almost sweating, also smiled along, though it seemed forced, yet there was a sense of relief.

"What do you want to say?" Suddenly, Ye An changed the subject.

"Me?" Xu Zhiye frowned, pointing at himself, "I... I actually don't quite understand."

"Don't understand what?"

"To be honest, when I knew that you spend your fragmented time training, I thought you were pretending. For example, now we only have two hours until dinner. What can you do in that time?"

"Warm-up, get into the zone, find the feeling, and so on. All these steps take time."

Ye An responded, "It's difficult to get into the zone at first."

"But you get used to it over time."

"Like sleeping."

"Sleep can be trained. As long as you can quickly adjust your mood and find some techniques, you can fall asleep quickly in a short time."

"Training is the same. With the right methods, you can warm up and get into the zone in a few minutes."

"Uh..." Xu Zhiye nodded silently, "What's the technique for falling asleep quickly?"

"I haven't used that technique for many years. After all, I have dreams. But it used to be quite effective. You just imagine yourself lying in a pitch-black abyss, or deep in the ocean."

"Then start relaxing your mind, without resistance to the envelopment of the deep sea. Finally, keep falling, falling, falling, with your heartbeat gradually slowing down, your consciousness sinking into nothingness, and finally..."

"What happens next?" Xu Zhiye was curious.

Ye An chuckled lightly, "Then you open your eyes, and it's morning."

"Okay... I'll try it." Xu Zhiye nodded silently. Recently, he had encountered many setbacks, couldn't sleep at night, and always thought about how to quickly improve his combat power, leading to sleepless nights.

After this simple conversation, the awkwardness between the two also diminished.

Xu Zhiye naturally asked, "How did you figure out that the Twin's skill is a fusion skill?"

Ye An calmly said, "That Dark Trio, the skill intensity is not high."

"Using it against you in that state is a complete waste of energy."

"That's an ineffective attack!"

"Then he followed up with another light system skill, also an ineffective attack."

"I think for people like us, no matter how stupid, we wouldn't continue with ineffective attacks. There must be something fishy."

Just as Xu Zhiye was pondering Ye An's words.

Ye An asked again, "Why didn't you realize this?"

Xu Zhiye's face changed slightly, shaking his head as if unwilling to answer this question.

In fact, he already had an answer.

At that time, he didn't even think about the battle situation, completely immersed in the power brought by the Demon King's Arms, full of his own heroic posture, even using a dragon tail sweep. How cool was that? The audience watching the live stream must have been so excited and admired me?

This answer was too foolish; he couldn't possibly say it out loud.

Ye An was curious again, "Why did you practice shooting?"

"I really didn't expect you to be a gun practitioner."

Xu Zhiye said naturally, "The gun is strong and good-looking. Why not practice?"

"Isn't the sword more handsome?" Ye An smiled and asked.

"No no no, in terms of temperament, the sword can't match the gun." Xu Zhiye shook his head.

"Did you see the news recently?"

"What news?"

"Liu Jun." Xu Zhiye said.

Ye An raised his eyebrows, "I know this person, I remember now, he was the Human Clan genius who killed my fourth opponent."

"When I was young, my father wanted me to choose a martial path and showed me videos of various weapon masters."

"The swordsman was Lin Ying."

"The swordsman is another one you probably don't know."

"The gun practitioner is a young man, Liu Jun."

"You can't understand." Xu Zhiye's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, saying, "That video had a strong impact on a ten-year-old child."

Suddenly, Ye An's gaze fell on Xu Zhiye's hair.

His hairstyle was extremely elegant, with long sideburns on his cheeks, very stylish.

Ye An smiled, "Are you copying Liu Jun's hairstyle?"

"Well... yes." Xu Zhiye nodded silently, as if recalling something. Sitting on the stairs, he muttered to himself, "When I was a child, I thought that in the Hall of Human Kings, Liu Jun, as the champion of the previous tournament, would come to teach me."

"I never thought that he had already died twenty-three years ago."

Xu Zhiye calmly recounted, but Ye An could see the slight regret and sadness hidden in his eyes.

Suddenly, he became somewhat angry, saying, "But the sneaky villain who killed him is still alive, even saying in public that Liu Jun was an aggressor."

"I wanted to assist you in the fourth match, but they didn't allow it and had other candidates."

"Ye An, in the fourth match, kill Yelu."

"Just like today, killing the Twin, smashing Yelu into minced meat."

Ye An looked at Xu Zhiye, who was somewhat emotionally stirred.

His peak period of life completely overlapped with Liu Jun's. Why did he worship someone he had never seen so much?

Lin Ying told himself that the upper class of the Human Realm dared not reveal Liu Jun's true fate to avoid causing turmoil, fearing that the people's hearts would be in turmoil.

Ye An had never carefully considered the meaning behind this statement.

Now thinking about it, Liu Jun at that time might have been only in his twenties.

A young man in his twenties actually possessed the power to influence the hearts of the entire Human Realm.

He didn't even have the slightest bit of luck, and he had converged all the visions and love of the entire Human Realm.

Moreover, he unintentionally focused all the vast and boundless luck on the source of luck that had not yet been born that year.

He accelerated the speed of the source of luck gathering, allowing the Human Realm, which had been steadily moving forward, to suddenly jog forward.

Thinking of this, Ye An was shaken in his heart.

A great man should stand out and do a great job.

This point was already achieved by Liu Jun. However, he has never yet clearly understood how great he is, and he has even been humiliated by his opponent!

If Liu Jun didn't speed up the gathering of the source of luck 23 years ago, the Human Realm would have been much later with a vigorous Dragon in the sky.

Ye An, born 18 years ago, would have been unable to enjoy a great many chances.

This kind of man was supposed to be thoroughly documented in history books, and now it is deliberately neglected by people.

If it hadn't been for Yelu's embarrassment.

It is possible that a few years from now, the name of Liu Jun, who has written his legend, will disappear from the Human Realm forever.

No!

Ye An clenched his fist slightly, thinking to himself, it's wrong, it's very wrong!
