Days passed by.
When there were only ten days left until the ninth of July, Ye Chen felt a bit strange. Why hadn't the higher-ups prepared to go to the Emerald Martial Palace yet?
The Emerald Martial Palace was seventy thousand miles away from the Sky Cloud Martial School. Even if he rode the half-beast horse, the Ghost Eye Jade Lion, it would still take him thirteen to fourteen days to get there.
Just like that, another five days passed.
Ye Chen didn't care about going to the Emerald Martial Palace anymore. Since the higher-ups weren't in a hurry, why should he? The Emerald Martial Palace was not a place he wanted to go.
The seventh of July!
Ye Chen was training his Zhen Qi in the yard. He was only one step away from the Late Condensing Reality Realm. Although it was impossible for him to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, he still wanted to give it a try. After all, for him, the difference between the peak of the Mid Condensing Reality Realm and the Late Condensing Reality Realm was too huge. At least if he could reach the same cultivation level, he would be able to compete with all the young warriors, even if he had to face Young Master North Snow or Young Master Duanmu.
Crack!
The low-rank soul stone in his hand cracked into two pieces.
Ye Chen opened his eyes with a regretful look on his face. With his current cultivation level, it was still too difficult for him to make a breakthrough. It would still take him a while to reach the Late Condensing Reality Realm.
Bang bang bang …
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Ye Chen thought it was Wu Zongming, so he yelled, "Coming!"
Opening the door of the yard, a young man that Ye Chen had never seen before appeared in front of him, wearing black clothes.
"I am the Executor Disciple. The Head Elder asked me to inform you that it is time to go to the Emerald Martial Palace. Go to the Welcoming Plaza now." The young man said indifferently.
Ye Chen was surprised. Go now? Can I get there in two days?
Shaking his head, Ye Chen didn't understand, so he responded, "Alright, I will go now."
The Executor Disciple left. Ye Chen went back to his room, prepared a few sets of clothes and some necessities, then cleaned the room a bit, closed the door and walked to the Welcoming Plaza.
On the grand and flat Welcoming Plaza, four people were standing there.
The two people in the middle were the First Elder, who was over sixty years old, and the Fourth Elder, who had a sturdy body. The sense of power released from their bodies was as deep as the ocean. One of them was Luo Hanshan, who was wearing a blue robe, and the other one was Xu Jing, who was wearing a white robe.
"Great Elder, Fourth Elder!" Ye Chen saluted the two elders.
The Great Elder smiled and said, "Ye Chen, have you made any progress this month?"
Hearing him, a smile also appeared on the Fourth Elder's face. They had already heard about how fast Ye Chen had improved. One year ago, he was still a Mortal Realm Stage 6 warrior, and now, he had already reached the peak of Mid Condensing Reality Realm. Not to mention that he had a great comprehensive ability, he had mastered all the martial arts he had learned to the highest level. Bringing him to the Emerald Martial Palace this time was more or less to gain some face for the Sky Cloud Martial School. Otherwise, it would have been better to bring other core disciples. After all, compared to the top five core disciples, Ye Chen's foundation was still a bit weak.
Ye Chen said, "I haven't made much progress in my cultivation, but I've just learned the Shocking Cloud Swordsmanship."
"You can't rush to raise your cultivation. What? You've learned the Shocking Cloud Swordsmanship? "The Fourth Elder slightly nodded, then he was shocked and stared at Ye Chen in shock.
Ye Chen nodded. He didn't need to hide this kind of thing. Not to mention, with the attention he was getting now, he wouldn't be able to keep it a secret for too long.
Lou Hanshan was shocked. Learning the Shocking Cloud Swordsmanship in only a month? What kind of abnormal martial arts talent was this?! The Shocking Cloud Swordsmanship was a low-rank Earth Realm sword art. Ordinary people might not even be able to learn it in five years. If it were Lou Hanshan himself, it would take him at least half a year. In the entire Sky Cloud Martial School, perhaps only Zhu Mei could learn it in three to four months.
However, compared to Ye Chen, the gap was not just a little bit, it was double or triple.
The Great Elder couldn't believe it, "Martial artists who have learned the Shocking Cloud Swordsmanship will have a strong Shocking Cloud sword aura when they are fighting …"
He didn't continue his words, because Ye Chen's temperament suddenly changed. Wave after wave of illusory sword aura gushed out. His whole body seemed like a treasured sword that had been unsheathed. His sword aura was unstable, but it was filled with a horrifying explosive power.
"It is indeed the Shocking Cloud Swordsmanship, I can't believe he can use it so easily." The Great Elder gasped in shock. He realized that he had underestimated Ye Chen after all. However, he couldn't blame himself, because a genius who had mastered the half-step sword intent was not someone he could easily guess.
Among the three of them, only Xu Jing didn't seem to be surprised.
Caw!
At this moment, a high-pitched bird song came from the top of the Windy Mountain. The bird song was short and high-pitched, along with a majestic aura.
Ye Chen looked towards the direction of the sound and was surprised.
On the precipitous peak, a giant bird swooped down. This giant bird had a majestic physique, and its wingspan was more than ten meters. Its entire body was covered in dark green feathers, and under the sunlight, it glowed with a metallic luster. Its pair of claws could easily grab a house, and they were curved like an anchor.
Lou Hanshan introduced the bird to Ye Chen, "This is the guardian spirit beast of our Sky Cloud Martial School – Wind Vulture!"
"Wind Vulture?"
Ye Chen had heard of this name before. In the easternmost area of the Windy Nation, there was a Great Devil Grassland. There were countless demonic beasts living on the grassland, among which the half-demon horse, the Ghost Eye Jade Lion, was the most famous one. However, people living near the grassland didn't think so. In their eyes, the most famous demonic beast was the king of the Great Devil Grassland, the fifth-level Wind Vulture.
The Wind Vulture could travel over forty thousand miles per day, it was as fast as lightning, and was over ten times faster than the half-demon horse. It was perfect for traveling, but it was not easy to catch it. Although it was only a fifth-level demonic beast, which was equivalent to a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, even a Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist might not be able to catch up with it. Besides, even if a Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist managed to catch it, it would be extremely difficult to tame it.
Ye Chen didn't expect that the Sky Cloud Martial School had a fifth-level Wind Vulture. No wonder they weren't in a hurry to go to the Emerald Martial School. With the Wind Vulture's speed, it would only take them two days to get there. Not only would it save them a lot of time and effort, it would also show the school's prestige.
Whoosh!
A fierce gust of wind blew, and the Wind Vulture landed in the middle of the plaza.
The Head Elder said, "Come on up!"
After saying that, the Head Elder flashed across the air and landed on the Wind Vulture's broad and flat back.
When everyone had boarded the Wind Vulture, the Head Elder reminded them, "Hold on, the Wind Vulture is very fast."
Luo Hanshan grinned and said, "Head Elder is right, the first time I rode on the Wind Vulture, I almost fell from the sky, it's unbelievably fast."
Hearing this, Ye Chen and Xu Jing didn't dare to be careless, they both silently activated their Zhen Qi.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Wind Vulture fiercely flapped its wings for a few times, then suddenly leaped up into the air like a sharp arrow. The Wind Vulture's wings were tucked behind its back to reduce the air resistance. The speed of the Wind Vulture, which was close to the sound barrier, was unimaginably fast, as if it was riding on a rocket, the air that was blowing towards its face was no different than a sharp knife, cutting its skin.
Ye Chen planted his feet on the ground, and activated his protective Zhen Qi to protect his face from the knife-like air currents.
Soon, the Wind Vulture flew high up into the clouds, flying far away.
