In short, the birth of the Extreme Sun Essence had increased Ye Chen's strength by twofold or threefold. Although the White Dragon Armageddon was stronger than a Second Job Advancement martial art, and could barely match an ordinary Third Job Advancement martial art, it was still inferior to the Extreme Sun Essence. Furthermore, Ye Chen's Extreme Sun Essence was slightly inferior to the Divine Saber King's Shadowthunder Sky Flash Slash. There were still many aspects that needed to be perfected.
After reaching the ninth level of the God of War Pagoda, the insignia on the back of Ye Chen's hand turned dark green. This meant that he had become a high-level member and could enjoy the highest treatment in the Paradise of Gods.
Next, Ye Chen went to the Survival Tower.
Seventh level of the Survival Tower, 10,000 shenbi reward.
Eighth level of the Survival Tower, 30,000 shenbi reward.
Finally, Ye Chen reached the ninth level of the Survival Tower, just like the God of War Pagoda.
The total reward was 50,000 shenbi, 10,000 shenbi for the God of War Pagoda and 40,000 shenbi for the Survival Tower.
In addition to Ye Chen's original wealth, he had a total of 180,000 shenbi.
In the past three years, Ye Chen had earned a lot of shenbi, but he had also spent a lot. Most of the shenbi had been used on comprehending profound meaning, cultivating martial arts, and the Tower of Time. The reason why he had leftover was that Ye Chen wanted to collect 300,000 shenbi to exchange for a low-level Heavenly King set.
A Heavenly King set had at least five parts — armor, arm guards, leg guards, gloves, and boots. All five parts were Heavenly King level artifacts. Individually, their value was not very high, but when combined, it was worth ten or twenty times more. A low-level Heavenly King set was worth as much as a top-tier Heavenly King level artifact, and could increase one's defense by several times. Not only that, but it could also increase one's combat power. Although it could not double or more, it was possible to increase it by thirty to forty percent.
Ye Chen already had a protective sword intent, and with the addition of a low-level Heavenly King set, he was like a tiger that had grown wings.
However, it was not an easy task to collect three hundred thousand Shenbi. Without the Profound Mysteries of Space, Ye Chen would not have been able to reach peak Quasi-emperor strength in five to six years. This was because he did not have that many Shenbi to use for cultivation, and it was impossible for him to save up one hundred and fifty thousand Shenbi. It would already be pretty good if he had ten or twenty thousand Shenbi, and this was even if he 'lived frugally' and did not spend it as he pleased.
Ye Chen made a rough calculation. Most people would need several decades to accumulate three hundred thousand Divine Coins after they became Quasi-Emperors.
As for stopping cultivating after becoming a Quasi Emperor and saving up shenbi, that was just neglecting the essentials. Gathering three hundred thousand shenbi to exchange for a low-level Heavenly King Set was to raise his power and increase his defense, but using shenbi to cultivate was also to raise his power. There was no essential difference. To be honest, it was better to use it for cultivation, because in the process of gathering shenbi, one could die in the Hunting Battlefield. Sometimes, not improving meant regressing, as others were improving.
Therefore, to gather shenbi, one could only do it slowly. One could not become 'malnourished' for the sake of gathering shenbi.
After becoming a high-ranking member, Ye Chen's time had also increased. He only needed to go hunting once a year, but as no one knew that he could reach Quasi-Emperor strength in such a short time, no high-ranking teams had invited him. As for those high-ranking members, they were either cultivating or spending shenbi to leave the Paradise of Gods. Not even a shadow of them could be seen. Ye Chen could only wait. If it came down to it, he could not join a team for the first time and go hunting alone.
In the inn, Ye Chen ordered five bottles of Lava Wine and five bottles of Ice Sea Wine, drinking them alone.
These two types of wine were only available to high-ranking members.
"Ye Chen, can you buy me a drink?"
A beautiful woman in green walked over with a hint of hope on her face.
Ye Chen raised his head. He did not know the other party. Although he was a little puzzled, he still nodded. "Sure, have a seat." Ye Chen handed over a bottle of Lava Wine.
"Thank you. My name is Liu Mei." Liu Mei sat down with a joyful expression.
Liu Mei opened the cork and drank a mouthful of wine. She said in surprise, "What wine is this? Why have I never drunk it before? No, this wine is even stronger than the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens. The effect of tempering one's spirit body is many times stronger. "
Liu Mei was a mid-ranking member and had only recently reached the seventh level of the God of War Pagoda. Although the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens was expensive, she had also drunk it once. However, compared to the Lava Wine, the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens paled in comparison.
"This is Lava Wine. Only high-ranking members can buy it."
Ye Chen said.
"Lava Wine? Only high-ranking members can buy it? "Liu Mei seemed to have thought of something." Have you already become a high-ranking member? "
Liu Mei's heart raced and her face turned red. She came over to chat up Ye Chen to see if there was a chance for her to date him. Those who could enter the Paradise of Gods were all geniuses. They were dragons and phoenixes among men. Because of their high status, they had very high standards, especially for women.
Basically, the women of the Paradise of Gods would rarely find life partners outside. This was because they believed that only the men of the Paradise of Gods were worthy of them. Those outside were all mediocre.
In the hearts of the women of the Paradise of Gods, the most popular were naturally the three Battle Emperors, followed by the Half Emperors. Apart from them, Ye Chen, Ah Jiu, and Leng Feifan were also popular existences. Especially Ye Chen, his popularity was not inferior to the Battle Emperors. For a long time, no one had ever entered the Paradise of Gods with the strength of the fourth floor. Moreover, in a few short years, he had reached the eighth floor. This kind of potential was unheard of and unseen.
However, today, Liu Mei discovered that everyone was still underestimating Ye Chen's potential. With Ye Chen's speed of improvement, he could easily break through to the ninth layer of Life and Death within a thousand years, becoming the youngest Sovereign.
Looking at Liu Mei's expression, Ye Chen immediately understood. In truth, this was not the first time he had seen a woman expressing interest in him in the Paradise of Gods. Ice Frost Battle Team's Xu Xiao had once hinted at him.
However, Ye Chen discovered that as his realm increased and his strength increased, it was hard for him to feel anything. It was as if all his thoughts were focused on martial dao and sword dao. Everything else was just fleeting clouds. Xu Jing and Murong Qingcheng were only concerned because they had interacted with him from the very beginning.
"Eh, I still have something to do. You can drink this wine. I'll take my leave first."
Tactfully rejecting someone didn't have to be explicit. Ye Chen believed that the other party should understand his meaning. Standing up, Ye Chen smiled and walked out of the hotel.
…
Unknowingly, the appointed time for the high ranking members had arrived.
Thunderbolt Stadium became lively once again.
This time, the one in the limelight was still White Tiger King. Myriad Arrow King had yet to appear.
"White Tiger King, I'll fight you."
Seeing that White Tiger King had already won five times in a row, Sky Sundering King walked down the stage.
Sky Sundering King's battle strength was more or less the same as Purple Lightning Spear King. Most importantly, Sky Sundering King believed that his technique was better than Purple Lightning Spear King's.
Sky Sundering King took the lead.
After a few rounds, Sky Sundering King's right arm was extremely numb. White Tiger King's balls were powerful and heavy like cannons. Every time they struck back, Sky Sundering King's right arm would suffer a great burden.
"I can only use this move to decide the winner."
Sky Splitting Monarch held the iron rod with both hands and struck the thunderball twice in a row. One strike landed on the upper half of the thunderball and the other on the lower half of the thunderball.
Zi!
The thunderball emitted an electric current and shot out at a frightening speed.
Moreover, this thunderball was flat, and its intense rotation gave it a frightening cutting power.
Sky Sundering King's ultimate move — Thunderbolt Cut!
"What a powerful ultimate move." On the spectator stand, Ye Chen nodded his head. The principle behind this ultimate move of Sky Sundering King was very simple. The thunderball was imbued with two rotational forces, one downwards and the other upwards. Although the directions were different, the left and right directions were the same. Finally, the two rotational forces converged together, compressing the thunderball into a flat shape. The rotational force then increased by several folds, producing a cutting power.
"Oh!"
White Tiger King's expression turned solemn. This move was indeed not easy to receive. The thunderball was flat, reducing the point of impact, and the cutting power was also very hard to neutralize.
However, this was not a problem for White Tiger King. He held the iron rod with both hands and swung it upwards, striking the flat thunderball.
The thunderball paused for a moment, and in the next moment, it flew back in a parabola. The cutting power was completely neutralized.
Dang!
Sky Sundering King's iron rod was sent flying, smashing into the metal wall. The descending ball was very powerful, and Sky Sundering King could no longer repel it.
"Ye Chen, you're here."
Returning to the spectator stand, Sky Sundering King noticed Ye Chen sitting in the back row.
"Just arrived."
Ye Chen nodded his head.
"Eh!" Sky Sundering King's gaze unintentionally swept across the back of Ye Chen's hand and exclaimed, "Inky green insignia, you've become a high-ranking member?"
Sky Sundering King's voice was very loud due to his shock.
Immediately, everyone in the spectator stand looked over.
"It's Ye Chen."
"What, he's a high-ranking member? That's impossible, right?"
"Although I don't dare to believe it, the inky green insignia on the back of his hand can't be faked, and there's no need to fake it."
"Genius, this is a true genius. Compared to him, we're far inferior."
Previously, everyone's attention was focused on White Tiger King, but now, they were all focused on Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, you've really surprised me. Looks like my premonition was right." Sky Sundering King tried his best to calm his emotions.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. Everyone's fortune is different."
Ye Chen appeared very calm. Being watched by two hundred pairs of eyes didn't make him feel any pressure.
"Hehe!"
White Tiger King was about to speak.
"Ye Chen, right? Come down and play. "White Tiger King's voice resounded.
Sky Sundering King smiled bitterly, "Sorry, Ye Chen." Ye Chen's chances of winning against White Tiger King were very small. If not for him, Ye Chen wouldn't have attracted everyone's attention.
"Don't worry, my hands are also itching."
Ye Chen calmly walked down the stage.
"You're quite famous. How about this, I'll control my cultivation base to the fifth layer and have a fair battle." White Tiger King's cultivation base was at the sixth layer. In fact, thirty percent of the people in God Paradise were at the sixth layer. However, he didn't want to take advantage of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said, "No need. Controlling cultivation base would be unfair to you."
"Oh, is that so?"
White Tiger King's eyes squinted. The other party seemed very confident.
"Shall I go first?"
Ye Chen grabbed the thunderball.
"Not bad."
White Tiger King sucked in a deep breath and his expression became focused. A person's fame was like a tree's shadow. Although Ye Chen's fame didn't represent his strength, he still couldn't be underestimated.
