Battle Through the Heavens: Attribute Draw, Top-Tier Comprehension at the Start

On the other side, after Qin Yu and his two companions left the battlefield, they found a place to rest.

As soon as Jia Xingtian landed, he took out several pills from his storage ring and swallowed them to quickly restore his condition.

When he looked up, he saw Qin Yu staring in the direction of Medusa, his brows furrowed.

Jia Xingtian followed Qin Yu's gaze and glanced at him, assuming that the young man was still feeling fear. He strode over and patted Qin Yu on the shoulder.

"Kid, this isn't your fault."

Qin Yu was brought back to his senses by the slap and turned to look at Jia Xingtian, who was looking at him with an expression of knowing what was going on.

"Who could have imagined that Medusa would go to such lengths, daring to force an evolution under those conditions?"

"You're increasing your output of the strange fire just to protect yourself. In that situation, if I were in your position, I would have made the same choice."

Qin Yu was slightly taken aback, then realized that Jia Xingtian was trying to comfort him.

The old man probably thought he was blaming himself for accidentally helping Medusa evolve.

The fact that Xing Tian could think this way saved Qin Yu a lot of trouble.

In reality, Qin Yu was just thinking that Medusa evolved by borrowing the strange fire he released, not by borrowing the original wild Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

If the conditions change, will the outcome also change?

In the original story, after Medusa evolved, her soul and the will of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python repelled each other, and the two consciousnesses shared one body, causing her to be sometimes a cold and ruthless snake-woman queen and sometimes an ignorant little snake.

But that was the result of her forcibly enduring the scorching of the wild strange fire. This time, the strange fire had been refined by herself, and traces of her own battle qi were mixed into the flames.

Will Medusa's evolution using this strange fire alleviate the aftereffects of her soul's incompatibility? Or will it make things worse?

Seeing his appearance, Jia Xingtian assumed that the young man needed to recover after a great battle, so he didn't ask any more questions and then let out a long sigh.

"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave now."

"Whether Medusa's evolution is successful or not, the Gama Empire will have to redeploy its defenses. I must return immediately to take charge of the situation."

After he finished speaking, his fighting spirit wings unfolded behind him, and he rose up and disappeared into the night in an instant, leaving only Yun Yun and Qin Yu at the scene.

The moonlight fell on Yun Yun's beautiful face. She seemed to want to say something, but after several attempts, she couldn't get the words out.

The two stared at each other for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Qin Yu was the first to break the silence:

"Sect Leader Yun, there's something... that's not really my place to get involved in, but I still want to mention it to you."

"What is it?"

"It's about your apprentice, Nalan Yanran."

Yun Yun was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Qin Yu and Yan Ran had some connection?

Why is she bringing this up now? Could it be that she has some feelings for her apprentice and wants to use her as a mentor to make a connection?

Is it because you know Yanran is engaged that you said you shouldn't get involved?

"Is that so? As far as I know, Miss Nalan... has a marriage engagement, right?"

Yun Yun frowned slightly. Could it be that she actually guessed right?

So Qin Yu likes Yanran's type...

The most deadly thing is the unspoken assumption made in one's mind.

Qin Yu ignored Yun Yun's subtle change in expression and continued:

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just...heard some things."

"Miss Nalan seems quite unhappy with this engagement. Given her personality, what do you think she will do?"

Yun Yun's expression froze slightly. After a moment of silence, she already had her answer.

Why bring this up all of a sudden?

But she didn't answer, and her gaze as she looked at Qin Yu became increasingly unfathomable.

How did the conversation turn into Yanran expressing her intention to call off the engagement?

"Because I've met both of them, and they're both young, so they might be a bit impulsive."

Qin Yu did not evade the question, looking calmly at Yun Yun:

"If Miss Nalan were to bring people to the door to annul the engagement in person, what does Sect Master Yun think that would mean for a young man?"

At this point, Qin Yu paused, carefully considering his words:

"Of course, this is just my humble opinion on the matter. Miss Nalan's marriage should indeed be her own decision, but..."

"If we change the approach, many problems can be avoided, right?"

Yun Yun did not respond. Her cold eyes scrutinized Qin Yu's face repeatedly. Qin Yu's sudden mention of this matter seemed rather abnormal.

It was as if... he had foreseen, or even was certain, that this would happen in the future, and was deliberately reminding himself of it.

Xiao Yan...

Yun Yun is no stranger to this name.

Back then, Xiao Lin of the Xiao family was considered a prominent figure in the empire. Although the Xiao family has declined in recent years, the older generation still has some recollection of them.

She had heard a little about Xiao Yan's life over the years, from being a genius boy who was the center of attention to the disappearance of his fighting spirit, and still unable to cultivate.

However, given Yanran's personality, it's quite possible that, as Qin Yu suggested, she might actually go to his home to annul the engagement in person.

If this kind of thing becomes public knowledge, it's not a good thing.

Yun Yun didn't think the now-declining Xiao family was a threat, but she still wanted to protect the reputation of the Yunlan Sect.

"I've noted down what you just said."

Yun Yun snapped out of her thoughts and nodded at Qin Yu.

Although the conversation felt strange to her, she still wanted to pay attention to it, since it concerned her beloved student.

Qin Yu didn't say anything more on the topic, but simply cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Yun Yun:

"Thank you for saving me tonight, Sect Master Yun."

Yun Yun waved her hand, her battle qi wings unfurling behind her, her white robes fluttering slightly in the night breeze.

"Little one, if you ever have any ideas in the future, the gates of the Yunlan Sect will always be open for you."

As she took flight, she glanced down at Qin Yu again, uttered those words, and then transformed into a streak of azure light, disappearing into the night.

Qin Yu leaned against the broken wall beside him and let out a long breath.

Let's consider Nalan Yanran's matter as his return gift to Yun Yun.

Of course, if this reminder doesn't work, I'll find another opportunity to repay the favor later.

Just then, a beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from the direction of Medusa's evolution.

The seven-colored light pierced the sky, illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime, and the sand dunes within a radius of a hundred miles were coated with a layer of brilliant rainbow.

As Qin Yu gazed at the pillar of light, he couldn't help but recall Medusa's actions just now.

This woman has a huge gambling addiction and is pretty crazy.

To mobilize the entire Serpent People race and even dare to forcibly evolve using their own flames—this goes beyond mere persistence.

Fortunately, she is currently evolving, so she shouldn't be bothering me for a while.

He straightened up, brushed the sand off his robe, unfurled his Purple Cloud Wings, and flew towards the direction of Mo City.

I hope Little Fairy Doctor and the others are really there.
