Eh! Someone was coming!
Ye Chen frowned. Thousands of meters away, four to five human shadows were running towards this direction. They were extremely fast, and none of them were below the speed of sound.
Waving his hand, Yuan Zongbo's storage ring landed in his hand. Ye Chen flashed his body and disappeared into the woods. He did not want anyone to see that he was the one who killed Yuan Zongbo and the others.
Shoo!
The first one to arrive was a middle-aged man. Then, two more people landed beside him.
Looking at Ye Chen's disappearing back, the few of them could not help but feel greedy.
"He has killed a lot of people. He must have gotten a lot of wealth. Should we kill him?"
"Yeah, kill him, and all the wealth will be ours."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"Wait." The middle-aged man stopped the others.
The few of them did not understand, "What? Boss Hu, you have always killed people without blinking an eye. You won't go easy on us, will you? Worst comes to worst, you can take all the money, and we can just drink some soup. "
The middle-aged man pointed at the dead body on the ground, "Don't be blinded by your greed. Look at who he is!"
"Those clothes, and that sword … Could it be the inner master of the Sky Eagle Castle Martial School, Yuan Zongbo?"
"Yuan Zongbo's power was similar to ours. He was an old Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. But he had the Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art. Once he risked his life, even peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors would have to run away. Who killed him? How could he be so powerful?"
"Luckily, Boss Hu reminded us. Otherwise, if we followed him like idiots, we would be chopped up like vegetables." The few of them who had been greedy just now could not help but feel scared. Wealth was good, but they needed to be alive to enjoy it. They had been in the martial world for a long time, so of course they knew that.
"This low-rank great sword is not bad. It is not a wasted trip." One of them reached out his hand, trying to pick up Yuan Zongbo's sword.
The middle-aged man said coldly, "If you want to die, just pick it up. If the people from the Sky Eagle Castle Martial School knew about it, they would definitely send out powerful warriors to kill you, unless you want to hide in the Martial City for the rest of your life."
"Damn it, I almost forgot that this sword is a hot potato." That person hurried to take back his hand. The Sky Eagle Castle was a rank 7 martial institution after all. They had a lot of resources. Not to mention Astral Reaching Realm warriors, even if they sent some powerful Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, they would not be able to escape unscathed.
Returning to the place where he killed Mr. Jin, Ye Chen took his storage ring, then took a long detour and returned to the Martial City.
However, this time, he did not brazenly go back directly. He wore a bamboo hat on his head, just enough to cover his face. Fortunately, there were all kinds of people in Wu City, and there were many people who hid their faces. Therefore, Ye Chen's attire was not very special.
At the counter outside the cultivation room, Ye Chen paid three days' worth of spirit stones in advance, took a jade plate of the middle-grade cultivation room and walked in.
…
Ye Chen did not stay in the Martial City to train his zhen Qi, but to train the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art and the Flo Rudra Three Spell, since it would be a bit troublesome outside. It would not be as safe and quiet as the Martial City. As for the uninhabited mountains, there were countless beasts, which was not a good place for training.
Before training, Ye Chen counted the wealth of Yuan Zongbo, Mr. Jin, and the three brothers.
The five of them had about two hundred thousand low-rank spirit stones in total. Among them, Yuan Zongbo had the most, followed by the three brothers, and Mr. Jin had the least. That mid-rank Earth Realm finger art, Gold Shattering Finger, should have been bought by him, which cost a lot of low-rank spirit stones.
Besides the low-rank spirit stones, there were also a lot of pellets, a couple of low-rank Earth Realm martial arts, and one high-rank Earth Realm martial art, which was indeed Yuan Zongbo's Minor Blood Demon Separating Art.
As for this Minor Blood Demon Body Separating Great Art, Ye Chen had a complicated expression on his face. Its power was without a doubt, but the side effects were too horrifying. Without the thousand-year blood fungus and other great treasures that could nourish the blood and flesh, he would not be able to use it more than once.
Learn it or not?
Ye Chen hesitated for a while, but he still decided to learn it. It was a matter of life and death, and he was about to lose his life, so why would he care about the side effects? He would just have to look for more treasures that could nourish his body. With his wealth right now, he should not have to worry about not being able to afford it.
Of course, the Minor Blood Demon Separating Art would have to be neglected for a while. His main goal was to train the Flo Luo Three Mysterious Spell to the second realm, which would allow his Separating Shadow Flying Art to reach the high-rank Earth Realm. Then, he would train the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art.
The Flo Luo Three Mysterious Spell, as a high-rank Earth Realm martial art, was as hard to train as a top rank Earth Realm martial art. If it were not for Ye Chen's powerful soul power and shocking comprehension, it would be impossible for him to train it to the second realm in such a short period of time.
Before, when he was in the Gold Tripod City, he had been studying it for a month, and he could feel the signs of the next realm. Now, as he continued to train, the signs were getting more and more obvious.
On the tenth day.
Ye Chen had finally reached the second realm of the Flo Luo Three Mysterious Spell, and his Separating Shadow Flying Art had officially evolved into a high-rank Earth Realm flying art.
Right then, he performed his Separating Shadow Flying Art with all of his power, and his speed instantly reached twice the speed of sound, which was twenty to thirty percent faster. Before, Ye Chen's speed was only as fast as a Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, since the sword intent did not have any effect on increasing his speed. But now, with his flying art, his speed was definitely not any slower than a peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. Unless an Astral Reaching Realm warrior showed up, there would not be many people who could surpass him with their speed, unless they had trained a higher rank flying art. Obviously, the chance of that happening would be even smaller. Whether rank 6 martial institutions had top rank Earth Realm flying arts or not, Ye Chen did not know. Outside of rank 6 martial institutions, there were very few people who had top rank Earth Realm flying arts, and there were not many people who had top rank Earth Realm flying arts.
After his Separating Shadow Flying Art had leveled up, other than the increase in speed, the number of zhen qi shadows that he could create had also increased. There were now six of them, and if he used the Shadow Explosion, he could create hundreds of shadows in a blink of an eye, which were packed together and layered on top of each other.
In other words, right now, Ye Chen had finally stepped into the Clasping Yuan Realm. He would not need to be nervous when facing the tyrant rank 6 beasts, the Wind Wolf. If he could not win, he would be able to escape.
After training the Flo Luo Three Mysterious Spell to the second realm, Ye Chen started to train the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art.
The Five Mountain Godly Fist Art had five movements in total. The first movement was the Five Mountain Condensing Shape, which was the movement of gathering power. It was also the most basic movement of the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art. Without this movement, the later movements would not have much power. Once this movement was mastered, the fist power would increase to the level of being able to shatter mountains. Although it was a bit exaggerated, one could tell from the description that the fist power of the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art was indeed extraordinary.
The first step was gathering power.
The gathering power process was not easy at all. The main point was to gather a huge amount of zhen Qi on the surface of the fist in a special way. If the fist shone with a muddy yellow light, it would be the entry level. If the bright yellow light shone, it would be the entry level. If the light could condense into a mountain shadow, it would be the entry level.
As long as he could train the gathering power to the entry level, he would be able to start training the second step, which was force exertion. He did not need to reach the entry level.
After only half an hour, Ye Chen had trained the first step of gathering power to the entry level. He reached out his fist, which had a muddy yellow light surrounding it. It was extremely rich.
After half a day, the muddy yellow light had turned into a bright yellow light. Within the rich light, an indescribable dominating power could be felt.
In front of the training column that was made of hard metal.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and threw out a punch.
Pooh!
The bright yellow light disappeared once it touched the training column. It only left a shallow fist mark on the training column.
"It seems like it is just like what the manual said. I have to learn the second step of force exertion to be able to throw out all of the fist power of the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art. It should not be like this."
Without rushing to learn the second step of force exertion, Ye Chen tried to train the gathering power to the entry level. That way, he would be able to perform all of the fist power of the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art.
Five days later, Ye Chen shook his head.
The bright yellow light on his fist was already showing signs of turning into a mountain shadow. However, he had trained the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art for too little time. He had not grasped all of the essences yet, so it would not be easy for him to cross it.
"Never mind, I should study the force exertion first."
The gathering power could be trained slowly in the future, but the exertion was what he needed right now. Even at the entry level of the gathering power, when he performed the first movement of the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art, its power would be more powerful than the fourth movement of the Tyrant Fist Art. This was the difference between a low-rank Earth Realm fist art and a mid-rank Earth Realm fist art. Plus, the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art was not a normal mid-rank Earth Realm fist art, it was one of the top ones. Ye Chen had spent two hundred and ten thousand low-rank soul stones to buy it.
Compared to the gathering power, the exertion was much easier. Within a week, Ye Chen had mastered it.
Walking to the training column again, Ye Chen tightened his right hand. The bright yellow light twisted, with a vague mountain shadow, it heavily smashed on the surface of the extremely hard training column.
Boom!
The training column was slightly dented, and there was a deep fist mark on the place where it had been punched. Because of the huge amount of power, the perfectly straight training column was a bit bent, and the back was tightened.
"Not bad. The entry level Consolidation of the Five Mountain is even more horrifying than I thought. But what kind of metal is this training column made of? My sword qi could only leave a sword mark on it, but could not break it. My fist power could not even bend it. It is so unbelievable."
Reaching the cultivation level of Ye Chen, he could even shatter a mountain, and normal great swords could be easily broken. The training column in the training room was unimaginably hard, it seemed to be just below a low-rank great weapon. If these metals were made into weapons, it would be enough for Clasping Yuan Realm warriors to use.
Ye Chen naturally did not know that these metals used to be the most normal metal materials, but after being trained by the Earth Evil Zhen Fire, all of the impurities had been burned out, leaving only the best of the best. There were not many Clasping Yuan Realm warriors who could destroy them.
Time flew, and Ye Chen had stayed in the training room for a month.
During this time, he trained his zhen qi in the training room at night, stabilizing his cultivation. During the day, he would continue to learn sword arts and train the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art.
Learning sword arts was a habit. There was not a single day that Ye Chen did not work on his sword arts. He was very clear that sword arts and sword intent were closely related. The higher the achievement in sword arts, the more stable the sword intent would be, and the easier it would be to improve. On the other hand, among all the sword artists in the world, most of the people who had learned the sword intent were the ones with powerful sword arts. Only a few of them had learned the sword intent with normal sword arts.
As for the first movement of the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art, Ye Chen had not reached the completion level yet. But with his powerful fist power, it had already completely surpassed the Tyrant Fist Art.
