Ye Wuxie responded with great surprise. Kōng's sudden words made Ye Wuxie marvel once again. Is there anything in this world that Kōng doesn't know?
"Somewhat... just somewhat. By the way, look at this Fragrant Flower Cave. There's only a path of about ten feet connecting it. You are all currently in front of the second layer of the Little Seven-Colored Seal. Normally, it would be impossible to know if there is a third layer or how many layers of seals there are in total."
Kōng's words made Ye Wuxie's eyes flash, and he replied, "You mean the Mo sisters know something?"
"No, these three girls are quite good. What I mean is that among them, there might be someone with a special spiritual sense that can detect the fluctuations of the seal. Now, I will tell you how to break the Little Seven-Colored Seal. Whether you can break it or not is up to you."
Mo Honglian's beautiful eyes continuously examined the colorful seal in front of them. The seal shimmered with seven colors, flowing and intertwining, forming a powerful protective force.
"We can't do it. We don't understand this seal and don't know how to break it. If we use brute force, we'll end up like the people from the Red Earth Main City, injured by the backlash."
These regretful words came from Mo Honglian's lips. Mo Baiou's face also showed disappointment, staring at the colorful seal. Mo Qingye's expressive eyes never left the seal.
"Let's give up if it's not possible. After all, this is a matter of opportunity. If we don't have the luck to obtain it, there's no need to waste time here. The first stage of the competition doesn't leave us much time."
Lin Yingluo's words made everyone's hearts tremble. They exchanged glances, though they felt regret, the most important thing now was to upgrade their city seals to purple, or they would be eliminated, as half of the three days and three nights had already passed.
"Yingluo is right. It seems this Fragrant Flower Cave is not meant for us. Since that's the case, let's..."
Before Mo Honglian could finish, Ye Wuxie, who had been standing at the front closest to the colorful seal, suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
"Since we're here, we can't leave empty-handed. Everyone, step back a bit..."
Ye Wuxie's eyes were now brilliant, filled with confidence and a hint of emotion.
Ye Wuxie's actions first made everyone pause, then Mo Honglian thought he was unwilling to give up and wanted to make one last attempt. She was about to remind him but, seeing the black-robed youth's back and recalling the events along the way, she ultimately said nothing and stepped back.
Mo Honglian knew how formidable this handsome black-robed youth was, both in combat and in his calm mind. Even if he couldn't break the seal, he would have a way to protect himself.
Lin Yingluo and Sima Ao had already understood this, so they were the first to step back. Sima Ao looked at Ye Wuxie's back with a mix of anticipation and admiration.
"Hum"
Sacred Dao Battle Qi swirled around, surging into his fists. Ye Wuxie's gaze on the Little Seven-Colored Seal was filled with fervor.
Kōng's words echoed in his mind. Ye Wuxie took a deep breath, pushed off the ground, and punched out fiercely.
"Bang"
In everyone's gaze, Ye Wuxie's first punch hit the center of the colorful seal. A loud noise followed, and the ten-foot-wide colorful seal began to shimmer rapidly.
A wave of overwhelming power began to form, and the seal emitted a dazzling seven-color light.
As everyone's faces changed, they suddenly saw Ye Wuxie leap high, his fists surrounded by a pale golden force, aiming for the red light among the rapidly flowing seven colors.
"Bang"
Another loud noise, and the colorful seal seemed to tremble. A series of explosions followed.
"Bang Bang Bang Bang..."
Mo Honglian's beautiful face showed shock. In her view, Ye Wuxie was continuously punching the colorful seal in a rapid and intense manner.
His punches were incredibly fast, and each time he punched, the overwhelming aura of the colorful seal seemed to pause, like a fierce dragon about to emerge from the water but suddenly restrained by a large hand.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Ye Wuxie continued to punch the colorful seal, and his speed had reached its peak.
"Fluctuations! Can you feel that the fluctuations of the colorful seal are gradually coalescing? It seems to be becoming more stagnant!"
Lin Yingluo's clear eyes showed a hint of surprise, and her words woke everyone up.
"Yingluo is right! It's as if the power of the seal is being suppressed in some mysterious way!"
This discovery rekindled Mo Honglian's previously abandoned hope. The five of them, with eyes full of surprise, focused on the tall, black-robed figure continuously punching.
"What a marvelous seal! This seal is indeed a profound subject!"
While continuously punching, Ye Wuxie had such thoughts in his mind.
Kōng had briefly explained how to break the Little Seven-Colored Seal, though it was just a few words and the seal was simple, Ye Wuxie still felt its magical nature.
"Battle formations and seals, these two are one offensive and one defensive, and there seems to be some connection between them, both being incredibly profound. If I could master one of them one day, it would be a great achievement for me!"
This thought flashed through his mind, and Ye Wuxie felt a strong desire, but his right fist did not slow down.
"Bang Bang"
In a short time, Ye Wuxie had already thrown dozens of punches. After another punch, his expression became serious, and his eyes showed a deep sense of determination.
"Whether I can break this Little Seven-Colored Seal depends on the next three punches!"
"Thud"
The colorful seal, which had been shimmering, had completely changed in the eyes of the others.
The seven colors had been mixed together, and the ten-foot-wide seal emitted a dazzling light.
"Bang"
Ye Wuxie's punch hit a specific spot on the colorful seal. With this punch, the seal trembled, and a crack about three to five feet long appeared on its surface.
"Wow! Big Sister! Look! Look at the crack on the seal!"
Mo Baiou's face had turned red, and her big, sparkling eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.
"I didn't expect him to understand seals..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yingluo's clear eyes as she glanced at Ye Wuxie, and a mysterious expression quickly passed.
"Ha ha ha... It seems we didn't come here for nothing!"
Sima Ao spoke excitedly, his face showing a readiness to try.
"Bang"
A fist wrapped in pale golden force struck again. Ye Wuxie's sharp gaze was fixed on the Little Seven-Colored Seal.
"Rip"
A very small, strange sound suddenly came from the colorful seal, followed by the appearance of the second, third, fourth... cracks, spreading like a spider web.
"Thud"
Ye Wuxie stood still, his body filled with Sacred Dao Battle Qi, all converging on his right fist, which glowed with a pale golden light. His eyes were fixed on a specific spot on the Little Seven-Colored Seal, as if searching for something.
Mo Honglian and the others, seeing Ye Wuxie suddenly stop, held their breath, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing him.
"Hum"
The Sacred Dao Battle Qi on his right fist had reached its peak, and Ye Wuxie's eyes continued to search. The surface of the Little Seven-Colored Seal was already covered with numerous cracks, and the light had dimmed to a third of its original intensity.
"Found it! Right here, break!"
In the next moment, with a low shout, Ye Wuxie leaped high and struck a specific spot on the left side of the Little Seven-Colored Seal with his right fist, which was at the peak of its power.
"Bang"
The powerful punch brought a massive force, colliding with the colorful seal and causing a loud explosion. The colorful seal also seemed to emit a final burst of resistance, shining brightly.
"Crack"
A blinding seven-color light made everyone instinctively look away, but the sound of something breaking was clearly heard.
As the blinding light slowly dissipated, Mo Honglian's eyes first changed, then showed intense surprise.
The colorful seal that had blocked their path had completely disappeared, leaving only a tall, black-robed figure standing there.
Ye Wuxie took a deep breath, beads of sweat visible on his forehead. Only he knew how much mental and physical effort it took to break the Little Seven-Colored Seal, not just the Sacred Dao Battle Qi but also the mental strain.
However, it was fortunate that he succeeded, and he felt a deep respect for the art of seals.
"Brother Wuxie, I didn't expect you to understand seals. It's truly surprising and delightful!"
A fragrant, gentle voice sounded in Ye Wuxie's ear. Mo Honglian walked to his side with a smile, looking at the handsome black-robed youth, and her address had become more intimate.
Hearing Mo Honglian's praise and the term "Brother Wuxie," Ye Wuxie smiled, "Sister Mo, you flatter me. I just got lucky, like a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
Ye Wuxie's response made Mo Honglian give him a playful glare, her eyes like flowing water, knowing he was making an excuse. She didn't press further.
"Whoosh"
A small figure quickly came to Ye Wuxie's side, hugging his arm, and a clear, young voice rang out, "Mo Baiou has decided! From today, Ye Wuxie, you are Mo Baiou's idol! Hehehehe..."
Mo Baiou's sudden action made everyone pause, then burst into laughter.
"This little girl..."
Ye Wuxie also laughed, seemingly forgetting that he and Mo Baiou were about the same age.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Six figures quickly moved forward. Ye Wuxie breaking the Little Seven-Colored Seal brought unexpected joy to everyone. What was supposed to be a fruitless trip had changed, and they were all eager to see what lay ahead.
"This is the second layer of the Fragrant Flower Cave..."
After a few breaths, they stopped in front of a beautifully carved stone room. The room was elegantly designed, even though it was made of plain white stone, it still had a sense of beauty.
On the left and right walls of the stone room, there were four sets of beautifully designed martial robes and skirts, each with a different color and style.
Ye Wuxie's gaze, however, was fixed on a very hidden spot at the back of the stone room, where a graceful blue flame was flickering. At the same time, he noticed a glimmer in Mo Qingye's expressive eyes.
