Chapter 498 - Earth Secret Art

Ye Yifan and the others all had disappointed expressions. They faced failure. They could only wait before returning to the lower level of the Tower.

“Captain Liu, what’s the matter?” Ye Yifan looked at Liu Yan calmly and asked. There was no passion or disgust in his eyes.

At this moment, Ye Yifan was naturally unhappy with Liu Yan. After all, Liu Yan had eliminated them.

At the same time, Ye Yifan was also a little unconvinced of Liu Yan’s strength. Everyone said that Liu Yan’s strength was terrifying, but Ye Yifan was confident in his strength. He did not think that Liu Yan was an opponent at all.

However, the Red Star Empire team had been eliminated. All members of the Red Star Empire team had become prisoners of war for the Land of Origin team.

As the team captain of the Red Star Empire team, Ye Yifan had to listen to the orders of the team captain of the Land of Origin team, Liu Yan.

Liu Yan sensed Ye Yifan’s slight hostility and dissatisfaction, but he did not care.

Liu Yan did not care about Ye Yifan’s attitude toward him.

“Bring me to the core of the earth attribute territory.” Liu Yan said indifferently. His tone was that of an order, so there was naturally no need to explain the reason.

Ye Yifan furrowed his brows slightly and was a little displeased. Liu Yan’s tone of command undoubtedly made Ye Yifan frown.

As the proud son of the heavens of the Red Star Empire, Ye Yifan had always been the center of attention. No one had ever spoken to him like this before.

However, he was bound by the Will of Tower. After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yifan had no choice but to obey the order.

“Alright.” Ye Yifan replied.

Then, Ye Yifan brought Liu Yan into the depths of the temporary camp of the Red Star Empire team and arrived before the core of the earth attribute territory.

After they arrived at their destination, Liu Yan asked Ye Yifan to go out and had people stand guard to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

Although Ye Yifan was dissatisfied, he could only obey the order. There were one or two days left, so he had to suffer for a while.

After Ye Yifan left, Liu Yan was alone in the small secret room.

Of course, there was also the earth attribute territory core in front of him.

The core of the earth attribute territory was a huge rock.

From the looks of it, this gigantic rock seemed to be just a little muddier than the other rocks, and the rock was a little greener. There was no other difference.

However, through his S-grade skill, Omniscient Insight, Liu Yan could sense that this huge rock was extraordinary.

This huge rock seemed constantly emitted some energy, causing the surrounding earth element to increase.

Liu Yan knew that this should be the earth attribute core. The dense earth energy it emitted nourished everything in the surroundings. Its range was wide, covering the entire earth attribute territory.

However, Liu Yan could not sense any more specific details. Liu Yan did not have any skills related to the earth attribute, nor did he have Earth Talent.

Liu Yan was not familiar with earth attribute. He had only come into contact with the rock element from Murong Xue’s body.

The rock attribute was a high-level attribute of the earth attribute. It was somewhat similar to the earth attribute.

If one spent a long time in front of this earth attribute core, coupled with a certain amount of talent, one would have the chance to comprehend it slowly. They could eventually master the Earth Talent and even Earth Secret Art.

However, it required talent, luck, and a large amount of time.

Therefore, this earth attribute core did not have much meaning to most awakened ones despite it being extremely precious. Members of the Red Star Empire team rarely stayed here.

After all, they were all here to ascend the Tower. There were many things to do, fight, and compete in every day. Where would they find the time to comprehend a skill slowly?

However, this was not a problem for Liu Yan.

Liu Yan had an SSS-grade talent, Divine Extraction. He did not need to spend much time extracting the harvest.

At the thought of this, Liu Yan did not waste any more time. He immediately used Divine Extraction on the earth attribute core.

A milky white light fell and lingered on the earth attribute core.

It seemed that the earth attribute core’s level was too high, so it took some time for Divine Extraction to complete.

Seeing this, Liu Yan was a little surprised.

The current Divine Extraction had already reached level three after two advancements.

The extraction of many items or creatures could be completed almost instantly. Only items that were SS-grade or above would have such a situation. It would take time to extract, or it would be impossible to extract.

The current situation showed that this earth attribute core was an extremely high-level existence. It would bring Liu Yan a lot of gains, so he immediately stayed.

Not long after, the earth attribute core in front of Liu Yan began to glow with an earth-yellow light. It was extremely dazzling.

Soon after, it gradually calmed down, and a series of notifications appeared in front of Liu Yan.

[ Divine Extraction of earth attribute core (SS-grade) completed. Congratulations on obtaining Earth Secret Art (SS-grade)!

[ Acquired Earth Secret Art (SS-grade), automatically learned Rock Wall (S-grade) ]

When Liu Yan saw the notification, he was thrilled. Not only did he successfully extract the earth attribute core, but he also skipped the S-grade Earth Talent and mastered the SS-grade Earth Secret Art.

Previously, Liu Yan knew nothing about the earth attribute and did not master related skills.

However, after extracting the earth attribute core, he immediately mastered Earth Secret Art.

This feeling was like a child who had not even graduated from primary school suddenly having all the knowledge that could only be learned in college.

Most importantly, these things seemed to be innate to Liu Yan. He did not learn them only now. Instead, he became proficient with them.

Liu Yan felt the changes in his body and the surroundings and immediately realized that the changes were huge.

After mastering the Earth Secret Art, Liu Yan could sense the earth attribute energy in the surroundings.

Just as Liu Yan had guessed, the earth attribute core was constantly emitting earth attribute energy, strengthening everything related to the earth attribute in the surroundings. The range was extremely wide, directly covering the entire earth attribute territory.

Liu Yan was surprised. This earth attribute core seemed to be more powerful than he had imagined.

The only thing he could not take away was the earth attribute core. If he could, he would take it with him. He felt that it would be of great use in the future.

However, this earth attribute core was the core of the entire earth attribute territory. It was a pity that he couldn’t take it away.

Immediately after, Liu Yan continued to sense the changes in his body. He felt that it was magical.

After mastering the Earth Secret Art, Liu Yan could not only sense the earth attribute energy around him, but he could also use it freely.

Compared to the other elements, the earth element gave off a more stable and heavy feeling.

It was also because of this that the earth attribute energy was more suitable for defense. When it came to offense, it was more of a suppressing method. It was not as violent as the fire attribute energy, and not as sharp as the gold attribute energy.

Overall, each attribute had its characteristics, as well as its strengths and weaknesses.

The earth element was more suited for head-on combat. It was more suited for a steady attack and more for defense.
