"Separate!"
Ye Chen suddenly slapped on the bed, and his body floated into the air. In the air, his body shook once, and a couple of shadows shot out like lightning, circling around the room for a couple of times before merging back into his body. Because of the extreme speed, it gave people a feeling that they were dancing around.
Landing on the ground, Ye Chen mumbled to himself, "As my cultivation has increased, my Separating Shadow Flying Art has reached its peak. Unfortunately, I still need some time to reach the second realm of the Flo Rudra Three Mysterious Spell. Otherwise, I would be able to increase my Separating Shadow Flying Art to the high-rank Earth Realm. Once my flying art reaches the high-rank, I would be so fast that I would be able to fight against peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors."
Ye Chen was very clear that he would not be able to win against the Wind Wolf at its peak. After all, that Lone Peak Kill combined with the One Sword Attack was not something that he could easily perform. Without that sword attack, the chance of him winning against the Wind Wolf would be less than ten percent. Since he could not increase his attacking power in a short period of time, then improving his flying art would be the best choice. Once his Separating Shadow Flying Art reached the high-rank Earth Realm, people who were more powerful than him would not be able to catch up with him easily, and killing him would be even more difficult.
"I wonder what the other two sword-shaped plants would bring me." After thinking for a while, Ye Chen took out a sword-shaped plant from his storage ring.
The plant only had one leaf, which was about three feet long. It was narrow and sharp, with a sword ridge in the middle, and a triangular tip. Holding the root of the plant, Ye Chen felt like he was holding a magical great sword. The sword intent seemed to be ready to burst out and kill everything in the world.
"What an aggressive sword intent!"
Being caught off guard, Ye Chen was immediately affected by the sword intent contained in the plant. His blood started to boil. If it were a normal warrior with a weaker mind, under the influence of this sword intent, he would probably take the plant out to kill people without being able to control himself.
Putting away the plant, Ye Chen sighed. It was only a bit of sword intent, and it was already so magical. The power of the Battle King back in the day was unimaginable.
It was already late at night. Ye Chen took off his jacket and light armor, keeping a part of his consciousness to go to sleep.
…
For a couple of days in a row, Ye Chen had been studying the Three Flo Rudra Spell. As for improving his sword intent, it was not part of Ye Chen's plan. He had only improved his sword intent to around fifty percent a couple of days ago. Right now, even if he had the sword-shaped plant and the Battle King's sword, it would not be possible for him to improve it again. Plus, there was only one stream of sword intent in the sword-shaped plant. Once it left the plant, it would not exist for long.
After a few more days, Ye Chen gradually made some progress.
On this day.
Ye Chen and Fourth Night began to fight in the training grounds of the Canvass Moon Pavilion.
The Fourth Night only wanted to have a small battle with Ye Chen, and it was not necessary to have a winner. Plus, Ye Chen had indeed been quite bored these past few days. Instead of training hard, it would be more fun to have a battle with each other. After knowing the news, Guo Lanyue hoped that the two could have a battle in the training field for all the young people in the branch to watch.
Ye Chen's weapon was a low-rank great weapon, the Star Scar Sword, while Fourth Night's weapon was a low-rank great weapon, the Hideous Fist Art. Because of the terrain, the two did not perform any extremely destructive attacks. They were purely competing on their own sword arts and fist arts.
The Star Scar Sword shook, shooting out starlight all over the sky. Each dot of starlight was extremely condensed, flashing once before disappearing. Being at the source of the starlight, Ye Chen's footwork was unpredictable. His movements were unpredictable and unpredictable. He kept interrupting his own rhythm, using it to affect his opponent's rhythm.
Judging on battling power, Fourth Night was not that much weaker than Ye Chen. Her fist art carried an unstoppable power. It looked like she could beat ten people with her power alone. Of course, beating ten people with her power alone was not some basic skill. Every punch she threw out was aimed at the weakest spot of the starlight. As her fist power landed, a huge amount of starlight was shattered. The fist power was like a spiral tornado, attacking towards Ye Chen.
Dodging through the attacking range of the fist power, Ye Chen's sword aura changed. The starlight turned into flowing clouds. Sometimes it was slow, and sometimes it was violent. Sometimes it was like thunder exploding, and sometimes it was like a storm. He had performed the mentality of the Sky Cloud Sword Art to its peak.
Before, dealing with Ye Chen's sword art was already very hard. Right now, with the change of the sword aura, Fourth Night felt like she could not handle it anymore. Her whole body seemed to have sunk into a sky full of flowing clouds. No matter how powerful her fist power was, it could only make the clouds disappear a little bit. Then, more and more clouds would come over, covering the whole sky.
"Misty Sword!"
The ocean of clouds was rolling, and a sword appeared out of nowhere.
Ting!
With her years of battling experience, Fourth Night barely managed to block out that sword attack.
"Impermanence Sword!"
The clouds were unpredictable. Once this sword attack was thrown out, the sword aura became more and more intense. It was aimed at all of Fourth Night's flaws, as if every single flaw would be attacked.
Shoo!
The clothes on her arm had been torn apart by the sword light, but Fourth Night still did not move.
"This guy is so powerful! Even Fourth Night has lost."
"Fourth Night is also very powerful. Just then, that fist aura had even stopped me from breathing."
"Seven Nights are the seven most powerful warriors in our Moon Pavilion. They are our targets. One day, I will become one of them."
Most of the young people in the branch were younger than Ye Chen. They had never seen the top young warriors battling before. Their blood was boiling, and they were all excited.
Guo Lanyue saw that her goal had been achieved, so she taught them a lesson, "There is always someone better than you. If you want to succeed, you have to set your sights bigger. Being the top warrior in the branch is nothing. There are so many geniuses out there. As long as you are willing to work hard, one day, you will be able to reach their level."
After teaching them a lesson, Guo Lanyue let them go back to their own places. Those who needed to train would go back to training, and those who needed to go out to do missions. It was just like a small martial institution.
"You lost. Not because of your battling power, but because of your skills." Fourth Night frowned his pretty eyebrows as he looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said, "What's wrong?"
"You don't look that old, but why do you look like you have been studying sword arts for decades? I have fought with Second Night and Third Night before, and their skills were almost the same as mine. I have never fought with First Night before, but there is no way he would be able to reach your level."
Ye Chen knew what she was talking about. He thought for a while and said, "Martial arts are for warriors. It is not something that can be used to its peak. Although your fist art is powerful, and your skills are powerful, it has not reached the level where you can use it as you wish. It is because you are restricted by the fist art itself. You have to know that no matter how powerful a fist art is, it is still created by someone else, and it might not be suitable for you."
"Then I need to create my own fist art?" Fourth Night did not understand what Ye Chen was trying to say.
Ye Chen shook his head, "No, it is still too early to create a martial art. What I want to say is that a battle should have its own style, and a martial art should have its own style as well. The first step is to turn other people's things into your own, and get rid of the parts that are not suitable for you."
With such an explanation, Guo Lanyue understood immediately.
Both Guo Lanyue and Sixth Night were shocked. Ye Chen was only seventeen years old, so where did he come up with such a profound theory?
After thinking for a while, Fourth Night had more or less learned something. He could not help but say, "Speaking of which, I really want to see you fight with Second Night. Her Sky Demon Power Field is like a turtle shell, and no matter how hard you try to break it, I wonder if you can do something about it with your skills."
"Sky Demon Power Field … She is a disciple of the Sky Demon Martial School?"
Guo Lanyue smiled, "Second Night is the second disciple of the Sky Demon Martial School, Murong Qingcheng. Her Sky Demon Power Field is indeed mysterious, and it can ignore all kinds of skills. However, the Sky Demon Palm Print can break all kinds of skills. Just like what Fourth Night said, it would be interesting for you two to fight."
Murong Qingcheng was actually the Second Night of the Moon Pavilion. Ye Chen froze for a second, then shook his head. His opponent was indeed very powerful. Her Sky Demon Power Field could twist all kinds of attacks, which gave her the upper hand. Plus that aggressive Sky Demon Palm Print, one attacking and one defending, it would be extremely hard to deal with. Judging from this, she was ranked twenty-seventh in the last Hidden Dragon Rank competition, which was obviously not enough. She should be in the top fifteen.
…
After a month, the Fourth Night and the Sixth Night had already returned to the headquarter. Under Guo Lanyue's persuasion, Ye Chen left the Gold Tripod City.
In the sparse forest outside of the Gold Tripod City, the sun was shining brightly.
Crack! Crack!
Walking on the small road that was covered with fallen leaves, Ye Chen quietly released his soul power. Everything within a one thousand meter radius was under his control.
At the Condensing Reality Realm, warriors would be able to spread out their zhen Qi and combine it with their mental power to sense the surroundings. After reaching the Clasping Yuan Realm, this range would be expanded even further. Basically, they would be able to sense everything within a few hundred meters radius. However, when traveling in the martial world, most of the people had trained some martial arts that could hide their zhen Qi or zhen Qi vibration, which made it very hard to detect. If they ran into some powerful warriors, they would not even be able to tell if they were right behind their backs.
However, Ye Chen's soul power was different. No matter how powerful your attacks were, under the scanning of his soul power, everything would be seen clearly. Even if you were to go invisible, it would not work unless you disappeared from this space and reappeared from another space. Only then would you be able to avoid being scanned by his soul power. Obviously, facing someone with this kind of power, Ye Chen did not need to run anymore. After all, he had never heard of a power that could travel through space. Running would be pointless.
According to Ye Chen's understanding, soul power was a very high-end existence. It was not just one and a half times more powerful than the so-called mental power. It would be at least ten times more powerful.
"Five hundred meters to the right, behind me, there is an enemy on the big tree." Without stopping, Ye Chen sneered. His body suddenly split into two. One continued to walk, while the other sneaked into the deep part of the forest. If it was not for direct observation, no one would know that Ye Chen had already escaped.
The low-rank Earth Realm martial art, the Qi Hiding Spell, that he got from the Bloody Butcher, started to work. He had trained it to the peak of the upper realm a long time ago. Not only could he hide his cultivation level, he could also hide his own Zhen Qi and Qi vibration easily. It was way more powerful than the martial arts in the world.
Five hundred meters away, a middle-aged man in black stood on top of a big tree. He closed his eyes from time to time to sense something. Soon, he smiled. His opponent was still in control.
Without any sound, a faint shadow appeared behind him.
Swoosh!
A cold light flashed, and a bloody line appeared on the middle-aged man's neck. His head slowly slid down, blood splashing everywhere.
Putting his sword back into its scabbard, Ye Chen took out a jade bottle from his storage ring. He unplugged the bottle and sprinkled some white powder on the blood, covering the smell of blood.
After doing all this, Ye Chen took off the middle-aged man's storage ring and put it away. He thought to himself, 'This man is a senior Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist. If I were to fight him face to face, it would take me at least a couple of attacks to kill him. Unfortunately, he ran into me. In a complicated environment, even the most powerful peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist would not be able to take one sword attack from me. As for killing an Astral Reaching Realm martial artist, I don't have much confidence yet. '
A gust of wind blew over, and Ye Chen disappeared.
