Chapter 2149: Lawless Land

There was dead silence, as if time had stood still.

A full hour had passed since Ye Ye was "attacked", yet this hour felt as long as an eternity.

News spread like wildfire, and countless students, learning of this shocking event, flocked to the school gates. Their expressions varied. Some couldn't help but laugh, seemingly amused by the sudden turn of events; some frowned, clearly worried about the safety of Li Qifeng and the others; and still others had strange expressions on their faces, making it difficult to decipher their true thoughts, as if they were unsure how to react to the current situation.

As the protagonist of this incident, Ye Ye had already left with Lu Yue, disappearing from everyone's sight. The school also responded quickly, and staff quickly rushed to the scene to deal with the aftermath. They were busy repairing the facilities that had just been destroyed by the fierce fight, striving to restore normal order on campus.

At the same time, the demon suppression department arrived at the scene as soon as possible. They acted quickly and decisively, sealing off the road with tape to protect the scene of the fight and ensure that no evidence was destroyed.

However, none of this was the primary focus. Everyone's attention was focused on the jaw-dropping sight outside the school gates—Li Qifeng's limbs were tightly suspended by unknown vines, dangling five or six meters above the ground. His body swayed weakly, his face ashen, a look of despair on his face.

Fortunately, Ye Ye had not gone completely crazy. Apart from Li Qifeng's face being swollen like a pig's head, his clothes were still intact. Otherwise, Li Qifeng would have been speechless in front of the people of Jiangdong. But even so, the number of people he lost this time was not small.

You know, the Li family is a very prestigious family in China, and its family members have considerable influence in all walks of life. However, now Li Qifeng was hung here, which was undoubtedly a shocking thing.

Upon hearing this, some students were filled with curiosity about this so-called "unprecedented spectacle." So, they pretended to be passing by, actually wanting to witness this rare sight for themselves. However, despite their curiosity, no one dared to take out their phones to take a picture. After all, no one knew whether doing so would get them into trouble.

Li Qifeng's subordinates were helpless as they watched their boss hanging in the air. Although they wanted to let Li Qifeng down, the words Ye Ye left before leaving made them hesitate to act rashly. Ye Ye said that if anyone dared to let Li Qifeng down, he would be hung in the air the next moment.

Although Ye Ye's words didn't sound very intimidating, he had just established his authority, so no one dared to touch him at this moment. Everyone could only watch Li Qifeng hanging there, helpless.

Even more surprising was that nearly an hour had passed, and the Li family hadn't made a single move. They hadn't sent anyone to rescue Li Qifeng, nor had they issued any statement. This made people wonder: had the Li family abandoned Li Qifeng, a direct descendant? Otherwise, with the Li family's power and status, how could they remain indifferent to such a matter? Many people were puzzled by this, wondering if the Li family couldn't afford to lose this person, or if Ye Ye was indeed being manipulated by a powerful force capable of rivaling the Li family.

Of course, Li Qifeng's tragic situation spread like wildfire, quickly spreading across the internet and even going viral. All of this was thanks to Tian Qingtian, Qiao'er, and the talented students in the class who were eager to cause chaos and had no fear of Li Qifeng.

As soon as Li Qifeng was hung up, Tian Qingtian rushed to him like an arrow from a bow. She completely ignored the pleading look on Li Qifeng's face and without hesitation raised her laptop, snapping several photos before walking away without looking back.

On the way out, Tian Qingtian kept fiddling with her laptop, clearly having already sent the photos. Meanwhile, not far away, Qiao'er wasn't idle either. She also raised her laptop and took a few photos of Li Qifeng. However, unlike Tian Qingtian, she didn't post the photos online directly. Instead, she sent them to her father, so he could see just how much of a fool this young master of the Li family really was.

As the incident continued to ferment online, more and more people began to pay attention and discuss it. However, what was strange was that whether it was the Li family, the Chinese government, or even the school officials, their attitude towards this matter seemed very ambiguous and difficult to understand.

The Li family’s inaction might be barely explainable, but the actions of the Demon Suppression Bureau and the school are truly puzzling.

Let's start with the Demon Suppression Division. After securing the scene, they didn't clear it out as one might expect, but instead simply protected it. Particularly noteworthy was their attention to the fan-shaped debris created by Ying's slash. Within this rubble, numerous lab workers in white coats were busy collecting soil and charcoaled plant remains. Meanwhile, the students snapping photos and Li Qifeng, who was receiving special attention, seemed completely oblivious to the Demon Suppression Division.

The school's response was equally astonishing. Aside from dispatching several teachers to assist the Demon Suppression Division and maintain order at the scene, the school took no concrete action against the instigator, Li Qifeng, or the so-called "victim," Ye Ye. They didn't even issue an official notice. After all, while this incident occurred outside the Huaguo Starship Academy, it was right at the school's gates! Faced with such a serious incident, the school's response was truly counterintuitive.

All in all, Ye Ye was enjoying his meal very much at this time.

"Come on, come on, eat! Don't just stand there. While things are brewing, maybe we can find our last teammate soon."

Ye Ye greeted Lu Yue warmly, but his eyes were fixed on the table full of delicious dishes, and he looked so drooling, as if all these foods were his favorites.

His cheeks were puffed up, like a little hamster storing food for the winter, which made people laugh. However, in stark contrast to Ye Ye was Lu Yue, who seemed to have no interest in the delicious food on the table and didn't even pick up his chopsticks.

"oh oh……"

Hearing Ye Ye's urging, Lu Yue finally woke up from his dream and picked up the chopsticks. He picked up a piece of side dish and put it on the plate in front of him, but he was reluctant to put it into his mouth.

Obviously, what happened just now had such a huge impact on Lu Yue that he still hasn't recovered. Ye Ye noticed Lu Yue's abnormality and asked with concern.

"What's wrong? No appetite?"

Lu Yue shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"No, there are just some things I can't figure out."

After hearing Lu Yue's words, Ye Ye asked curiously.

"What's the problem? Tell me, maybe I can help you solve it."

Lu Yue hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Brother Ye, are you really practicing both the divine and physical body?"

This sentence made Ye Ye stunned for a moment. Divine body dual cultivation? He couldn't help but start to think, is he considered to be a divine body dual cultivation?

This isn't limited to humans. For demons, insects, and even those intelligent species that ascended through mechanical flight, spiritual power and blood energy cannot coexist. Cui Yingying's case of dual cultivation of both divine and physical strength is not only a first in human history, but also a first in the entire universe.

A child of destiny like Argerich, even though he was considered the best among the geniuses, actually only cultivated his mental strength. However, due to the special nature of his race, his body was extremely powerful, even comparable to some creatures that specialized in cultivating blood and qi.

Despite this, Cui Yingying, who cultivated both divine and physical abilities, showed some contempt for Argerich. This showed that, judging purely by her combat prowess, Cui Yingying had already reached an extremely terrifying realm.

Rather than saying that dual cultivation with the divine body is impossible, it's more accurate to say that the laws of the universe forbid it. Even if you possess the talent to awaken your mind and cultivate your spiritual power, as long as you choose to practice the Body Cultivation Technique, you will never again experience the opportunity to awaken your mind, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.

However, was Cui Yingying truly the first person in the universe to cultivate both a divine body and a dual body? Ye Ye couldn't help but shake his head, pondering to himself. In terms of chronology, Cui Yingying probably wasn't the first. In fact, the true first person in the universe to cultivate both a divine body and a dual body should be himself.

It all began a thousand years ago, during the Lingxiu Era. Back then, Ye Ye, using the magical power of the system, traveled back in time and space to that distant era. There, he unexpectedly encountered a body-cultivation technique long lost on Blue Star—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Furthermore, he was fortunate enough to possess the blood and energy of a great demon as starting capital, laying a solid foundation for his cultivation.

At the moment Ye Ye successfully cultivated the Body Cultivation Technique, the first being to cultivate both the Divine Body and the Body was born in the universe—Ye Ye himself. Cui Yingying also became a Divine Body cultivator due to the system's memory manipulation, gradually forgetting her memories of Ye Ye. However, fate is full of twists and turns, and the note Ye Ye left behind became an unexpected turning point.

This note was like a key, unexpectedly triggering a mutation in Cui Yingying's mental power, allowing her to break through the system's memory blockade. From then on, Cui Yingying's brain area was developed and her mental power was awakened.

"You could say that, but I can't explain it definitively. I can only tell you that there aren't just one or two examples of dual cultivation of the divine body, but many."

Ye Ye's words were like a bombshell, exploding in Lu Yue's mind and leaving him stunned.

Many cases?

What does it mean?

Seeing Lu Yue stunned, Ye Ye shook his head and began to think in his heart.

Su Ziwu, Tong Chengcheng, Zhao Ling, Fu Yu, Lan Yunsheng, and even Ye Long and Su Yan have all practiced the Body Cultivation Technique. This practice method not only greatly improved their physical fitness, but also allowed the latter to break through the shackles of the emperor level and become a god-level beastmaster.

However, a question lingered in Ye Ye's heart. This question was related to his relationship with Li Lingzhi. Ye Ye found himself in the Lingxiu Era, where his summoning of Shadow triggered a series of chain reactions. Li Lingzhi, a person with a passion for research and a strong curiosity, was inspired to explore the path of beast control.

Later, Chang Ming, in part thanks to Li Lingzhi, spread the Beast Taming Technique throughout the Blue Star. While this all seemed perfectly logical, Ye Ye couldn't help but wonder: Why aren't there any Beast Tamers among the people of Venus? Could it be that Li Lingzhi deliberately concealed this technique?

Ye Ye shook his head. He felt that Li Lingzhi shouldn't be such a person. However, if Li Lingzhi wasn't hiding something, then the problem would become even more complicated. In fact, Ye Ye had long been suspicious about this issue, but he had never found the right time to delve into it.

Based on the various information he collected and what he learned from the will of Blue Star, he could infer that humans left Blue Star during the Lingxiu era, leaving it completely desolate. However, the emergence of new humans gradually brought vitality and prosperity back to Blue Star.

However, due to the great threat posed by the Spirit Ruins to humanity, about a hundred years ago, the spiritual energy of Blue Star began to recover, and the profession of Beast Tamer came into being. This change gave humanity the power to fight against the Spirit Ruins.

In addition, Ye Ye had just received an important news from the system: the universe was about to face a huge disaster. However, the Blue Planet had long ago been listed as a restricted area by the Arbitration Council, and any creature from the universe was strictly prohibited from entering.

Suddenly, Ye Ye was struck by lightning, and an idea flashed through his mind. He seemed to suddenly understand something. Or rather, it was a bold guess!

Could it be that there's something special about Blue Planet? Perhaps only on Blue Planet can humans awaken their Beastmaster talents? Or perhaps Blue Planet possesses an ability that shields the laws that prevent divine bodies from cultivating simultaneously?

This thought shocked Ye Ye, and at the same time, it also filled him with more curiosity and desire to explore Blue Star. If his guess was correct, then Blue Star was undoubtedly an extremely important existence for the entire universe.

But if this is really the case, Blue Star might be in some trouble. The demon clan's invasion and attention to Blue Star are definitely not groundless. In an instant, Ye Ye felt that the situation in the universe, which had just become clear, fell into chaos again.
