Huang Hengfei was even more shocked.
There were two reasons for his surprise.
First, the spinning ball he had just released had an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it had spun at least 10,000 times. To neutralize this spinning ball, he had to exert an equal amount of rotational force.
Second, not only had the other party neutralized the spinning ball, but he had also exerted an unbalanced rotational force on the thunderbolt ball. In other words, the rotational force that the other party had used had far exceeded his.
"As expected of a monster who reached the fourth level of the God of War Pagoda."
"But that's not enough."
Huang Hengfei laughed. His metal rod transformed into dozens of mirages. One of the mirages struck the thunderbolt ball, causing it to turn into a beam of light and shoot toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen instantly caught the trajectory of the thunderbolt ball and struck it with his rod.
Swish!
The rod missed. The thunderbolt ball seemed to disappear from Ye Chen's senses.
"The thunderbolt ball disappeared? Impossible!"
Ah Jiu and the rest couldn't believe it.
"The ball didn't disappear. It just sped up."
Almost subconsciously, Ye Chen used the inertia of his metal rod to spin his body and appear in front of the thunderbolt ball. He struck it with his metal rod.
"He caught it?"
Huang Hengfei frowned. He suspected that the other party had practiced the thunderbolt ball before. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a newcomer to receive an instant speed ball.
What was an instant speed ball? It was actually related to multiple forces.
Huang Hengfei's multiple forces were at the late-stage of Fourth Drive. In that ball just now, he had used Three Drive and First Drive. Three Drive had been used on the thunderbolt ball while the other First Drive had been hidden. When the thunderbolt ball was very close to Ye Chen, the hidden First Drive had instantly erupted, causing the ball's speed to increase. As most people were already used to the ball's previous speed, the eruption of the ball's speed indirectly caused the phenomenon of the ball disappearing.
Huang Hengfei swung his metal rod and struck the thunderbolt ball.
"No, it's an illusion."
Huang Hengfei was shocked. He did the exact same action as Ye Chen. He used the inertia of his metal rod to spin his body, appear in front of the thunderbolt ball, and hit it back.
"That was close. He actually knows an instant speed ball, and he used it in that situation."
Huang Hengfei secretly wiped his sweat.
Watching the two players play on the court, everyone was dumbfounded.
Not to mention Huang Hengfei, he was the captain of a beginner team, so it was natural for him to have this kind of power. Ye Chen was only a newbie, but he had somehow managed to tie with Huang Hengfei, and even saw through the Instant Speed Ball.
"Is he still a newbie?"
The long-haired young man who fought with Huang Hengfei before muttered.
"I also wonder if he's a newbie!"
Lu Wenxiu smiled bitterly.
Spin!
Instant Speed Ball!
Spinning Snake Ball!
Explosive Ball!
Speed Ball!
All kinds of balls were used on the two of them. Usually, Huang Hengfei would use them first, and then Ye Chen would instantly learn them and use them on Huang Hengfei. This caused Huang Hengfei's mind to become tense, and he treated Ye Chen as an opponent of the same level. He didn't dare to be careless. He was sure that if he was careless, he would lose without a doubt.
"Alright, I've never met a rookie as powerful as you. This is my self-created Flickering Meteor Ball. I wonder if you can catch it."
Huang Hengfei roared and waved the metal rod in his hand hundreds of times. These hundreds of times were completed in an instant, so they completely overlapped with each other.
Crackle!
In the void, hundreds of thunderballs appeared. Each of them was so fast, and their auras were astonishing.
"As long as my speed is fast enough, only one of them will be real. However, my speed is about the same as his, so it's impossible for me to reach such a speed. With my speed, I can probably hit three of them, but it won't be easy to hit any of them. The change in the force field caused by waving the metal rod will cause the real thunderball to deviate. In other words, it's very likely that none of the three balls will hit. Therefore, I can't hit these three balls directly. As long as I hit the point where the force field overlaps, the change in the field will cause the real thunderball to automatically run to the point where my metal rod strikes."
As this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Chen waved the metal rod and struck the middle point of the three thunderballs.
Bang!
The thunderball was hit.
"What kind of reaction speed is this?"
Huang Hengfei's mouth slightly opened.
"Forget it. His inner quality is not below mine at all. I can only use absolute power to beat him."
Boom!
Zhen Yuan exploded as Huang Hengfei used all of his power to hit the thunderball.
Dang!
The metal rod in Ye Chen's hand was thrown into the air. This thunderball's power was too overbearing. Not to mention counterattacking, Ye Chen could not even catch the ball. His metal rod flew out of his hand.
"I, Huang Hengfei, rarely admire people, but you are one of them."
His cultivation base was at the peak of the fifth sky of Life and Death Realm, which was two whole levels higher than his opponent. Moreover, one could not use martial skills while hitting the thunderball. Therefore, whoever had a higher cultivation base would have the absolute advantage. This was something that could not be made up. If Ye Chen's cultivation base were at the fourth sky of Life and Death Realm, he might be able to contend with him.
"Here, here are ten thousand yuan stones."
A smile appeared on Ye Chen's face. He realized that playing the thunderball could indeed improve one's inner quality, just like how battling could improve one's inner quality.
However, the difference was that battling had a lot of auxiliary skills, such as protective Zhen Yuan, body defense, and all kinds of martial skills. The more auxiliary skills one had, the slower one's inner quality would improve. However, when playing the thunderball, none of these skills could be used, as they were meaningless. Thus, one would feel the real pressure and be forced to improve one's inner quality.
Pure inner quality …
Huang Hengfei did not look at the yuan stones on the ground and said, "I am Huang Hengfei, the captain of the Flying Spirit Team. When you reach the fifth floor of the God of War Tower, you can consider joining our team."
The Flying Spirit Team was one of the more powerful teams among the beginner teams. It was also one of the teams that the beginner members of the God Paradise wanted to join the most.
"I will think about it!"
Ye Chen faintly nodded.
…
Every other week, Ye Chen would play a few games of thunderball. Sometimes, he would win, and sometimes he would lose. Ye Chen tried not to compete with those who had reached the fifth sky of Life and Death Realm, as he did not have that many yuan stones to lose.
For the rest of the time, Ye Chen used it all to cultivate his Zhen Yuan.
Being greedy for speed was the most important thing to improve one's cultivation, especially in the Life and Death Realm.
Every level of Life and Death Realm was equivalent to building a solid foundation. Only with a solid foundation could one continue to improve. If one's foundation was not solid enough, even a tall building would collapse. It was only a matter of time.
Therefore, without a hundred percent certainty, Ye Chen would not try to break through to the fourth sky of Life and Death Realm. He did not want to risk his future.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.
Ye Chen felt that he had close to a hundred percent chance of breaking through to the fourth sky of Life and Death Realm.
In this half a year, Gu Qingxue, Zhou Jian, Li Yifeng, Xiao Xiyu, Lu Wenxiu, and Yan Feihua had all reached the second floor of the God of War Tower. Yang Ting had reached the third floor, and Ah Jiu had made it to the fourth floor, just like Ye Chen.
On the court, Ye Chen and Ah Jiu were having a showdown.
Ah Jiu had not only improved his strength, but also his skills. Once his skills improved, it would not be easy for Ye Chen to defeat his opponent. Moreover, Ah Jiu was also at the fourth sky of Life and Death Realm, one sky higher than Ye Chen. Therefore, in the past month, Ye Chen and Ah Jiu had three wins and one loss. This was the fifth time.
"Looks like this is my second win in a row."
Peng!
The thunderball flickered in the air, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right. A smile appeared on Ah Jiu's face.
"Not necessarily."
A phantom appeared on Ye Chen's body. The phantom waved his rod, and the real body followed. Peng! The thunderball that had escaped was whipped by the real body and shot out.
"Instant Speed Ball?"
Ah Jiu launched a second attack after the first one missed.
But what surprised him was that the second attack also missed. The thunderball hit the metal wall and bounced back.
"One layer of light power, three layers of dark power … I see."
Ah Jiu thought for a while and suddenly understood.
There were many kinds of instant speed balls. If one reached the Fourth Drive realm, then there were three kinds of instant speed balls, namely, three layers of obvious power and one layer of hidden power, two layers of obvious power and two layers of hidden power, and one layer of obvious power and three layers of hidden power. The third kind had very high technical requirements. It was not very difficult to hide one layer of hidden power, but it was a little difficult to hide two layers of hidden power, and it was extremely difficult to hide three layers of hidden power. This led to the fact that once the speed of the ball exploded, there was no time to react.
…
"Finally, I have one hundred percent confidence."
On the eleventh month since he came to the God Paradise, Ye Chen officially started to attack the fourth sky of Life and Death Realm.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Inside the bamboo house, a large amount of yuan stones flew out. The pure energy inside was extracted under the control of an invisible power, forming a river.
The river flowed through Ye Chen's head and poured into Ye Chen's body.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
Gurgle! The Zhen Yuan inside Ye Chen's body boiled. The Dao Gate in his dantian suddenly expanded and contracted, rapidly transforming the external energy and increasing Ye Chen's Zhen Yuan.
Once his Zhen Yuan increased, breaking through to the next realm was a must.
One day passed.
Three days passed.
Ten days passed.
Twenty days passed.
Boom!
A frightening aura soared into the sky. The green bamboo house was on the verge of collapse, seeming as if it would be torn into pieces at any moment. However, it was a building of the God Paradise after all, so it was indestructible.
Another week passed.
Creak!
The door of the bamboo house opened, and Ye Chen walked out.
"The fourth sky of Life and Death Realm … My Zhen Yuan is several times purer and more robust. But, it still cost me several tens of thousands of yuan stones, which is equivalent to several hundred million supreme grade spirit stones. Unbelievable!"
In the past, Ye Chen had a solid cultivation base, but he didn't have a proper cultivation method. However, after breaking through to the third sky of Life and Death Realm, his cultivation base had been used up. In the future, every time he tried to break through to the next sky of Life and Death Realm, he would need a huge amount of external energy. For the fourth sky, he would need tens of thousands of yuan stones, and for the fifth sky, he would need hundreds of thousands of yuan stones. However, it was precisely because of this that the gap between each sky was so huge. Ordinary geniuses would find it hard to challenge those with higher realms.
