Gradually, a fragrant aroma filled the air, and the hot oil dripped onto the bonfire, emitting popping sounds.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Ye continued reading. Only after midnight did he close his eyes and rest until dawn.
The next day was the same.
This was the most boring battle that Lu Ye had ever experienced. Up until now, he still hadn't seen his opponent, and Yiyi hadn't found any traces of him either.
However, he knew that if this continued, he would definitely win. He could eat at any time to replenish his strength, but Ghost Shadow couldn't. Ghost Shadow wanted to hide, so he could only stay hidden. If he dared to do anything else, it would expose his whereabouts.
However, Lu Ye didn't plan on continuing to waste time. For a cultivator like Ghost Shadow, not eating or drinking for a few days wasn't a problem. Ghost Shadow was willing to waste time, but he wasn't.
Closing the book in his hand and standing up, Lu Ye casually took out a few array flags from his storage pouch and threw them in all directions. First, he used the array flags to construct the basic framework of the array, then used his spiritual energy to complete the inner structure of the array. In just a few moments, a three hundred meter wide array was formed.
This array didn't have much use. It was just a simple warning array. Compared to other arrays, this array was undoubtedly much simpler to set up. Furthermore, it could cover a large area, and at the same time, it didn't consume much spiritual energy.
Ghost Shadow continued to hide, so Lu Ye couldn't do anything to him. This was how the Spiritual Stream List Challenge was. The Heavenly Secret Association maintained the most basic fairness, and the rest was a competition between cultivators.
No one said that a competition of patience wasn't a competition.
Lu Ye didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to find Ghost Shadow's traces. Unless he was also proficient in arrays, and knew how to avoid detection.
After setting up the first warning array, Lu Ye began to set up the second, then the third, and the fourth …
The entire second day, Lu Ye set up the array. Fortunately, he had bought enough array flags from the Heavenly Secret Business Association. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold on. After an entire day, the array he set up had covered more than half of the battle arena.
Ghost Shadow still hadn't shown himself. Perhaps he still had a glimmer of hope that Lu Ye didn't have enough array flags to cover the entire battle arena. That way, he would still have space to hide.
Lu Ye suddenly realized that he had overlooked this point. He simply took out all the formation flags from his storage bag and placed them at his feet.
Hiding in the dark, Ghost Shadow looked at the large pile of array flags and knew that he couldn't hide any longer. If he didn't hurry and find an opportunity to kill Lu Yiye, his whereabouts would definitely be exposed tomorrow.
After a moment of silence, Ghost Shadow's lips wriggled as he softly said something. His figure quickly disappeared from the battlefield.
On the other side, Lu Ye, who was busy arranging a Spirit Array, paused.
He actually won!
He originally thought that after he revealed enough array flags, that ghost shadow would come to kill him tonight, but he did not expect that this fellow would be so straightforward and directly choose to admit defeat.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Ghost cultivators' strength lay in their ability to silently approach their targets. This method could be used to deal with ordinary people, but Ghost Shadow really didn't have the confidence to use it against Lu Ye. Who knew if this guy had set up a Spirit Array around him in advance? If he really tried to kill him, he would definitely fall into a trap.
It could be said that when ghost cultivators' cultivation bases were not high, Spirit Array cultivators who were on guard were simply the bane of ghost cultivators!
However, if ghost cultivators cultivated their skills to a certain level, even if it was a Spirit Array, they could quietly sneak in.
Ghost Shadow admitted defeat and ran away. Lu Ye and Yiyi hurriedly packed up the Spirit Array flags they had set up in the battlefield.
"Lu Ye, if you meet this guy in the future, you must definitely kill him. He's too hateful!" Yiyi shouted as she busied herself.
"Beat him half to death, then ask Hua Ci to heal him, then beat him half to death again …" Lu Ye was ruthless. He would rather fight with his opponent in an open battle than spend so much effort to clean up the mess in the end.
The key was that from beginning to end, he had not even seen the appearance of his opponent, which was very hateful.
On the Spirit Stream List, Lu Yiye of the Jade Blood Sect rushed to ninth place.
The world was in an uproar!
This guy had done it.
In the true sense, he had killed his way into the top ten of the Spirit Stream List with a Heaven Eight cultivation base. This undoubtedly meant that he was among the strongest in the Spirit Stream Realm.
He was just a Heaven Eight!
He could still reach the Heaven Nine!
This was what made people feel terrified.
At this point, strictly speaking, Lu Ye only needed to fight one more battle to have the qualifications to challenge first place on the list.
However, since he had started to challenge the cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge one by one, he had chosen not to do so.
His next target was the guy in sixth place.
He had spent two days challenging Ghost Shadow. From beginning to end, Lu Ye had not used a single blade. In the end, although Ghost Shadow had voluntarily admitted defeat, he had not been able to vent his fighting spirit, which was somewhat depressing.
Therefore, he had sharpened his blade, preparing to start with the guy in sixth place.
He had issued a challenge, and his opponent had accepted it. When his opponent had chosen a location, Heaven's Secret descended, and Lu Ye's figure disappeared.
His field of vision was filled with white light, and the sound of crashing waves could be heard. Even the air was salty and moist.
This immediately reminded Lu Ye of the days when he had participated in the Spirit Stream Battle with Hua Ci. If his guess was correct, his opponent should have chosen a location on the sea.
His field of vision recovered, and he looked around. Sure enough, he was indeed on the sea. Lu Ye's current location was on an island on the sea.
The island was very small, only about a hundred feet in radius.
Several hundred feet away, there was another similar island. The two islands were about the same size, and looked like twin islands.
On the opposite island stood a man in his early twenties in loose robes. He was not very handsome, but his expression was very determined.
This person was most likely a Dharmic Cultivator, and a Water Dharmic Cultivator at that! That was why he had deliberately chosen such a battlefield.
Everyone knew that Lu Yiye of the Jade Blood Sect was a Weapon Cultivator who cultivated a Fire Attribute Cultivation Method. In such a battlefield, a Water Dharmic Cultivator's advantage was too great. On the other hand, such an environment was also very suppressive to a Weapon Cultivator with a Fire Attribute Cultivation Method.
If Lu Ye wanted to get close, he would have to leap several hundred feet into the sea and kill his way to his opponent's island. However, in midair, no matter how nimble he was, he would be nothing more than a target.
If he did not think of a way to charge over, he would also become a target. In any case, this Dharmic Cultivator had the advantage.
He used the challenged's right to choose the battlefield's terrain incisively and vividly. Lu Ye admired him for being able to find such a strange terrain among so many other battlefields.
What surprised Lu Ye even more was that the sea was not calm. All kinds of strange sea beasts swam past, leaving behind huge shadows under the water.
If one were to be struck down while leaping over the sea, they would die without a doubt.
In such an environment, it was very difficult for Yiyi to get close to her opponent.
"Lu Yiye?" The Dharmic Cultivator stood at the edge of his island and tried to greet Lu Ye.
What answered him was nine rays of light from the Weapon Cultivator's Dharmic Cultivator. The Dharmic Cultivator stood on the spot without moving, and his expression did not change.
The Weapon Cultivator's Dharmic Cultivator's Dharmic Cultivator stopped less than ten feet away. After a slight vibration, Lu Ye retrieved it. It was not that Lu Ye did not want to attack his opponent, but that he had reached the limit of his control and had no choice but to retrieve it. Otherwise, it would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog.
"I've long heard that the Jade Blood Sect's Lu Yiye's Artifact Control Technique has reached the acme of perfection, and his attack range far exceeds his own realm. Seeing it today, he really lives up to his reputation!" That Dharma cultivator was not stingy with his praise. "However, Fellow Daoist, you don't have to test me. The distance between the two of us is about nine hundred feet. Your Imperial Equipment won't be able to hit me."
Although he was calm and composed, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. He had tried his best to overestimate the distance of Lu Ye's flying tool, but he didn't expect that he had still underestimated it.
Just now, Lu Ye's Imperial Equipment would have hit him if he was just a few feet away!
As he spoke, a ball of water suddenly appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the ball of water shot towards Lu Ye like an arrow. While it was still in the air, the ball of water suddenly exploded, sending a rain of tiny water arrows towards Lu Ye's island.
"Spells are different. Spells have a much longer attack range than Imperial Equipment."
It was common knowledge that spells had a longer attack range than imperial artifacts. That was why magic cultivators usually didn't need to refine imperial artifacts to kill their enemies. Spells were enough for them.
Then, he saw a Fire Phoenix Spell flying towards him.
The magic cultivator immediately urged his spell to meet it. It was still a ball of water, but when it flew into the air, the ball of water would transform into all kinds of spells, be it water arrows, water dragons, or other forms of water beasts. There were all kinds of fancy tricks that dazzled the eyes.
It had to be said that there was indeed a reason why this person was ranked sixth. He stood there like a cannon, unleashing one exquisite spell technique after another at an extremely fast speed.
Lu Ye didn't spend much effort on magic cultivators, but his spell casting speed wasn't considered slow. After all, when he received the inheritance of the Fire Phoenix Spirit Pattern, he witnessed the birth and fall of a Four Symbols Sacred Beast with his own eyes.
His understanding of the Fire Phoenix Spell far exceeded that of ordinary magic cultivators. The power of the Fire Phoenix Spell he cast now was several times stronger than before.
Fire element was explosive, water element was gentle. In terms of the damage of a single spell, the magic cultivator on the other side was not as good as Lu Ye, but in terms of spell casting speed and frequency, Lu Ye was far inferior.
After all, the other party was a professional.
Moreover, Lu Ye soon discovered a problem. The environment here had a very strong suppression on the Fire Phoenix Spell he cast. Compared to the Fire Phoenix Spell he usually cast, the power he cast now was as much as 30% weaker.
"Amazing, truly amazing." That magic cultivator slowly became excited as he exchanged spells with Lu Ye. "Fellow Daoist, you're the first person I've ever seen to be able to cast spells to this extent as a Weapon Cultivator! But it's meaningless to continue like this, Fellow Daoist. If you continue like this, you'll lose! "
