"Ah! Brother Ye, we didn't know you were here! "
Just as Ye Chen was thinking, three female disciples appeared not far away. They were all about thirteen or fourteen years old, looking very energetic. Seeing Ye Chen's naked upper body, they immediately turned their heads away with blushing faces.
Ye Chen forced a smile. In his world, a naked man was not a big deal, but this world was different. His storage ring shone with a dim light, and clean clothes appeared in his hand.
After putting on the clothes, Ye Chen asked, "Are you looking for a place to train?"
"Yeah! Brother Ye, why are you taking a bath here? " The round-faced female disciple was the cutest among them. She was the only one who did not turn her head away, but the other two covered her eyes.
"I am training. If you don't mind, I will let you have this place."
After saying that, Ye Chen jumped up and landed on top of the waterfall. After a couple of flashes, he disappeared without a trace.
"Haha, I told you that Brother Ye is a nice guy, but you didn't believe me."
"Hehe, Brother Ye has a nice body, and he is very powerful."
"Sister disciples, why did Brother Ye run away?"
…
Going to the Floating Cloud Palace once every three days had become a habit of Ye Chen's.
Actually, he did not have to take on a mission every time he went there, but he could see some of the big and small things happening in the Windy Nation from the mission list, which was much better than not knowing what was going on outside.
Passing by the ranking jade wall, Ye Chen turned his head to take a look.
His name was still the first on the third row, and the first and second rows were the twenty-four core disciples. Of course, if he wanted to, he could become a core disciple anytime he wanted, and his ranking would be very high, at least in the top four. However, he did not plan to do so yet, because he did not have much confidence in fighting against the 'Hidden Scent Sword' Zhu Mei, unless he performed the One Sword Attack.
"If I can't become the number one core disciple, then there is no point."
Shaking his head, Ye Chen was about to enter the Floating Cloud Palace.
"Look, Brother Meng Chong is back!"
"I heard that he took on a three-star black rank mission this time. It seems like he has already completed it."
"Compared to the inner disciple ranking competition, Senior Brother Meng Chong has improved a lot. I wonder how he compares to Senior Brother Ye Chen?"
The surrounding inner disciples discussed among themselves, and their gazes were focused on Meng Chong, who had just returned.
Meng Chong didn't care that he had become the center of attention. He said to Ye Chen, who was standing at the entrance of the Floating Cloud Palace, "Let's fight on the Martial Plaza. I hope you can improve."
Ye Chen turned around. "As you wish."
Not challenging others was one thing, but when someone came to challenge you, you generally wouldn't refuse. Furthermore, even if you refused, you had to have a good reason. Otherwise, if everyone refused, then what would be the point of the Ranking Jade Wall? There would be no competition.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings boiled over.
"Senior Brother Meng Chong is fighting against Senior Brother Ye Chen again! Shocking news! Quickly go inform the other Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers."
"It's been more than a month, and both senior brothers have improved. The duel will definitely be more exciting."
"It seems like Senior Brother Meng Chong doesn't plan to become a core disciple if he doesn't defeat Senior Brother Ye Chen."
Soon, most of the Sky Cloud Martial School's inner disciples had heard about this news. Without saying anything, they immediately rushed to the Martial Plaza.
Within a short period of time, the Martial Plaza was filled with thousands of people. Among them, two to three hundred were inner disciples who didn't go to do any tasks. Outer disciples made up eighty percent of the crowd, and a few core disciples were also there. They all wanted to see how powerful Ye Chen and Meng Chong were.
On the central platform.
Ye Chen and Meng Chong slowly walked onto the platform.
"I haven't seen you for more than a month. If your improvement is not obvious, then I am afraid you will lose to me." Meng Chong's aura was even more reserved.
Ye Chen glanced at his opponent, shook his head and said, "You have indeed improved, but you are getting further and further away from me."
Huh!
Meng Chong sneered, "You will know after the duel. You will take back your words."
A gust of wind blew, Ye Chen's clothes and hair were fluttering in the wind.
He said, "Let's begin!"
Chin!
Taking out his long blade, Meng Chong stomped on the ground and flew towards Ye Chen like a lightning.
"Blood Light!"
On his way, Meng Chong held his long blade with both of his hands and quickly waved it. Because of his fast speed, his arms seemed to have disappeared into the air. Only the blood red blade light could be seen, covering the entire platform and completely sealing the space where Ye Chen was. He couldn't back out, he couldn't move forward, and he couldn't dodge. There was only one way left, which was to fight.
"So powerful! I wonder how Senior Brother Ye Chen is going to fight?"
"I guess he will have to fight."
"If Senior Brother Meng Chong was as powerful as he is now, he would definitely be the No.1 inner disciple again. Of course, if he beats Senior Brother Ye Chen this time, he will still be the No.1 inner disciple."
"It can't be that easy! Senior Brother Ye Chen has been to the Emerald Martial Palace, he has seen a lot of things. How could he not have improved? "
Most of the people still didn't know that Ye Chen had beaten Cheng Jun and Shi Potian. Only those core disciples knew a little bit about it. Of course, in a day or two, Ye Chen's story would definitely be spread out. How big of a commotion would it cause?
When the blood red blade light reached its peak, Ye Chen threw out his sword.
Shoo!
No one saw how Ye Chen threw out his sword. They only saw a thin white line of sword Qi flash across. Ye Chen's figure had already passed through the blood red blade light and appeared behind Meng Chong.
Dang!
Swoosh!
The long blade flew out of Meng Chong's hand and stabbed into a stone pillar.
It was not over yet. Meng Chong's clothes had also been cut open. The cut was extremely small.
Putting the Hidden Cloud Sword back into its scabbard, Ye Chen said lightly: "Your blade skill is not bad. Unfortunately, I have already reached a higher level. You will not be able to compete with me anymore."
'Too powerful, way too powerful! I didn't even have the slightest chance to fight back. Even now, I, Meng Chong, am still not his opponent. I wouldn't have believed it before, but now I have no choice but to believe it, because it has already happened, and it happened to me.'
Meng Chong's heart was filled with shock. He stood there, stunned.
Not only Meng Chong was stunned, all of the inner and outer disciples' eyes were blank, and their mouths were wide open, unable to close.
Everyone was completely silent.
When they came back to their senses, Ye Chen had already left the martial plaza.
"Damn! What did I just see? Senior Brother Ye Chen beat Senior Brother Meng Chong with only one sword attack! How powerful does he have to be to be able to do that? "
"What an overwhelming advantage! The gap is so huge!"
"Among all the inner disciples, no one can threaten Senior Brother Ye Chen's position anymore."
"Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb. Senior Brother Meng Chong beat the top ten inner disciples with only one sword attack, but Senior Brother Ye Chen beat Meng Chong with only one sword attack."
Hearing the inner disciples' discussions, the few core disciples who were watching the fight looked at each other.
…
Time flew by like water.
Another twenty days had passed. It was already August.
During this time, Ye Chen had never stopped improving. His Zhen Qi cultivation was getting closer to the peak of the Late Condensing Reality Realm, and was not far away from Lou Hanshan and the others. As for his sword skills, even he himself didn't know what level he had reached. Perhaps, he would only be able to find out if he fought against some childe level young martial artists.
Compared to his personal improvement, something big had happened in the Windy Nation.
One of the top five institutions, the Purple Sun Martial School, had a spy.
This spy was an inner elder, but his real identity was actually a powerful warrior under the command of the Ghost Corpse Man. He had been hiding in the Purple Sun Martial School for fifteen years, but recently, for some unknown reason, he had betrayed the Purple Sun Martial School and killed an inner elder and three outer elders, which had shocked all the powerful forces in the Windy Nation.
Ye Chen didn't know what had happened, but the core members of all the institutions knew it clearly. The plan to encircle the Ghost Corpse Mountain's branch on the eighth of August had failed, and the reason was because of that spy from the Purple Sun Martial School. He knew that they were going to encircle the Ghost Corpse Mountain's branch, so he secretly sent a message to the Ghost Corpse Mountain. But he didn't expect that he would be discovered by another inner elder, and then a fight broke out between them. After that, three outer elders came to help, and four of them fought against one. However, this spy was indeed powerful, he killed all four of them within a short period of time.
In the main hall of the Sky Cloud Martial School.
At this moment, all the inner elders were discussing something else.
"Leader, the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region is about to open in October, we should also decide which disciples will participate in it, so that we can prepare in advance."
The one who spoke was the Fourth Elder.
Luo Xinglie glanced at the crowd and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
The Head Elder cleared his throat and said, "The Heavenly Dream Ancient Region only opens once every ten years, it's a rare opportunity. After each trial, nearly one-tenth of the young generation will step into the Clasping Yuan Realm, therefore, we have to send our best disciples. Of course, our Sky Cloud Martial School is only a rank 9 institution, we only have four quotas. Therefore, I think Zhu Mei and Luo Hanshan must go, plus Xu Jing."
"What about the other one?" Someone frowned.
The Fourth Elder said, "I think Ye Chen is a good choice."
The Head Elder nodded, he had the same idea.
Hearing him, a few inner elders immediately shook their heads.
"Although Ye Chen is very talented, and he has already comprehended the half-step sword intent, he is obviously not as powerful as the others. It doesn't make sense to let him go."
"You're right, the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region is an ancient place, every quota is extremely precious, how can we waste it? We have to send the disciples who have the opportunity to break into the Clasping Yuan Realm."
"I think Tao Xiaofeng, who is ranked third among the core disciples, is a good choice."
"Jing Jue, who is ranked fourth, is also a good choice."
The Head Elder glanced at the others and said, "Tao Xiaofeng and Jing Jue are indeed good, but they are not the most talented ones. Even if they manage to step into the Clasping Yuan Realm, they would only be considered as elites, they would not be able to kill people who are at a higher level than them. However, Ye Chen has already comprehended the half-step sword intent, he will definitely be able to comprehend the true sword intent one day. Once he steps into the Clasping Yuan Realm, what do you think about his fighting power?"
"This …"
The few who disagreed couldn't find any words to refute.
At this moment, Luo Xinglie said, "The Heavenly Dream Ancient Region is located in the desert between the nine nations, hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Sky Cloud Martial School. Let's not waste any more time, let's leave in half a month. The quotas are Zhu Mei, Luo Hanshan, Xu Jing, and … Ye Chen."
Hearing the last two words, the Fourth Elder and the Head Elder glanced at each other and smiled.
