The two judges of the group five were shocked. They indeed thought highly of Ye Chen, and thought that he was not an ordinary person. He had the power to compete for the top twenty, and it was not impossible for him to make it into the top ten. However, that was all they thought highly of him. They did not think that Ye Chen could compete with the top ten young warriors, not to mention killing Tang Xiaoshan with only one sword attack. They wondered if they had seen it wrong.
The original group twelve judge touched the arm of the original group three judge, "We have made a mistake this time."
"We have indeed made a mistake. I am thinking, is this his real power?"
"You mean, he is still hiding his power? That is not possible, right?"
"Why is it not possible? Since the beginning of the competition, he has surprised us time and time again. His hidden power has been revealed bit by bit. Who knows if this is his last ace or not?" The original group three judge let out a long breath, waking up from his daze.
"That is true. No matter what, with his power to beat Tang Xiaoshan with only one sword attack, he must be another top young warrior."
The group five judge was not the only one who was shocked. All of the young warriors and warriors who were watching the competition were shocked as well. Tang Xiaoshan, who had learned the fifty percent blade intent, could not even survive one sword attack from Ye Chen. It was beyond their imagination. If it were the head disciple of the Heartless Martial School, Li Daoxuan, who had performed that attack, they might not be this shocked. But Ye Chen was only a newcomer, a rising star. Before, no one had ever seen him, and no one had heard of his name before.
In their eyes, winning one battle after another was nothing. Beating Gao Feng with one sword attack was still acceptable. But now, even Tang Xiaoshan had been beaten by him with one sword attack. How could they not be shocked?
"Damn, I bet that Ye Chen is definitely one of the top young warriors."
"Even Tang Xiaoshan, who had learned the fifty percent blade intent, could not even take one sword attack from him. Who said he is not one of the top young warriors? I am going to argue with him."
"That's right. This Ye Chen has hidden himself well enough. He has hidden himself deeper than anyone else. This is what it means to hide yourself so deeply that no one can see the bottom."
Below the battling platform, Ye Chen's expression showed that he had expected it. His power was far weaker than Ye Chen's, but it did not mean that his intuition was worse. Judging from some of Ye Chen's subtle movements and expressions, Ye Chen had always had an aloof attitude, as if nothing could shake him. Of course, if one did not fight with Ye Chen himself, it would be hard for others to notice.
"The first place of group five will be decided between him and Bing Ling. I wonder if they will meet each other in advance." Gao Feng was looking forward to it.
Gu Qing, who had almost recovered, frowned as he simulated the battle with Ye Chen in his mind. The conclusion he got was that before his iron stick could reach Ye Chen, he would be stabbed in the throat. As for the strength of his protective zhen Qi, he did not think that he would be that much more powerful than Tang Xiaoshan. It would be almost the same.
Lin Yun, who had made a big promise earlier, twitched his mouth. He did not know what to say. Tang Xiaoshan, whom he had high hopes for, could not even handle one attack in front of Ye Chen. He did not even have the power to fight. And he still wanted Ye Chen to admit defeat. Wasn't that just slapping his own mouth?
"Hehe, Qingcheng, you have the best eyes. This Ye Chen is quite lucky. Even Tang Xiaoshan could not stop him." Lin Yun forced a laugh. He did not directly say that Ye Chen was powerful, but he said that he was lucky. No matter how powerful his opponent was, he would beat him once it came to the ranking competitions anyway.
Murong Qingcheng did not care about Lin Yun. All of her attention was on Ye Chen. Just like the Black Crow Man, Ye Chen's improvement was way too fast. It was almost inhuman. If she had to use one word to describe him, it would be monster.
A monster-like sword artist, what an honor it would be!
Ting!
A sword ting sound was heard. It was Li Daoxuan's sword. His expression changed. This sword attack from Ye Chen had made him lose control of his sword intent, and it seemed like it was about to explode out.
"Before, I was still disappointed. I thought I would not run into a sword artist worth fighting seriously in the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions." Taking back his sword intent, Li Daoxuan took a deep breath.
Someone had noticed the strange look on Li Daoxuan's face, and they were secretly shocked. The Heartless Sword Artist, Li Daoxuan had finally started to get serious. In the following competitions, the two top sword artists would definitely run into each other.
"Ye Chen wins!"
The judge did not waste any more time and announced the result of the battle.
Putting his Star Scar Sword back into its scabbard, Ye Chen looked at Li Daoxuan from a distance. His opponent's out-of-control sword intent could fool the others, but not him. If Sikong Sheng was his biggest opponent, then Li Daoxuan would be his biggest opponent among all the sword artists. No matter if Li Daoxuan could be a threat to him or not, when the two battled, they would both learn a lot from each other, which was exactly what Ye Chen needed the most.
"Oh! Such sharp senses. " Li Daoxuan flicked his eyebrows. His sword intent had only gone out of control for a second, and the others would not be able to sense it. They would only be able to see something from his expression. He believed that Ye Chen was different from the others, as he had sensed his heartless sword intent.
The leader of the Heartless Martial School flicked his fingers, a light smile appearing on his face. What Daoxuan lacked was a sword artist worthy opponent, and this Ye Chen had the right to do so.
"It would be great if he were a disciple of our Heartless Martial School. Why do I think he is more suitable to train the Heartless Spell than Daoxuan?" As a powerful Sea of Souls Realm warrior, the leader of the Heartless Martial School could see it more clearly than anyone else. That kind of detachment of Ye Chen was not something that he purposely showed. It was his nature, and the so-called 'heartless' of the Heartless Martial School required this kind of detachment.
In comparison, Li Daoxuan seemed to be a bit weaker than Ye Chen.
But of course, the leader of the Heartless Martial School was very confident in Li Daoxuan, and did not think that he would lose to Ye Chen. The heartless sword intent of the Heartless Martial School was not just for show.
Getting off the stage, Ye Chen went back to where he was standing, but he was still the center of attention.
Everyone had acknowledged Ye Chen's identity as a top young warrior, and some of the female disciples kept checking out Ye Chen. Ye Chen looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing blue robes, looking very handsome. His extreme calmness and detachment on the stage added a mysterious aura to him, which was exactly what the girls liked the most. If it were not for Xu Jing and Zhu Mei standing right next to Ye Chen, a lot of the female disciples would have already gone over to talk to him.
The path of a martial artist was very lonely. If one could have someone to rely on, a partner who could support each other, then the journey of cultivation would be much more interesting. Moreover, martial artists were different from normal people, especially those who had reached a certain level of cultivation. For example, Astral Reaching Realm martial artists could live for two hundred years, which was twice as long as normal people. Sea of Souls Realm martial artists could live for three hundred years, which was three times as long as normal people. If the partner's talent and comprehension were not good, it would be hard for them to grow old together. With Ye Chen's age and the talent he had shown, no one would think that he could not become an Astral Reaching Realm martial artist. He might even reach the Sea of Souls Realm in the future.
In the audience seating, Ji Xueyan, who had been paying close attention to Ye Chen, had a complicated expression on her face. She bit her lower lip. It was not that she had never regretted it before, but it was not as intense as today. Every time Ye Chen won, her mind would be shaken. Seeing his calm expression and detachment, she felt very sad, as if she had lost something.
Back then, she had focused all her attention on cultivation, and did not like Ye Chen, who was engaged to her. Therefore, she had come to the Sky Cloud Martial School to cancel the engagement, hoping that he would not bother her anymore.
What was out of her expectation was that Ye Chen had agreed without hesitation. At that time, she was very surprised and annoyed at the same time. It seemed like Ye Chen did not care about her at all, and her coming here was unnecessary and childish. This should be what made her annoyed.
After returning to the Emerald Martial School, she quickly forgot about this. The two of them were not from the same world, and there would not be any interaction between them in the future. Training hard was the most important thing for her.
She thought that the days would go by peacefully like this, until the Emerald Martial School held a celebration party to celebrate their head disciple's breakthrough into the Clasping Yuan Realm. That was when Ye Chen arrived. During the competition, he had beaten the No.1 inner disciple of the Emerald Martial School, Cheng Jun, and the third core disciple of the Emerald Martial School, Shi Potian. Only then did Ji Xueyan know what kind of identity Ye Chen had used to come to the Emerald Martial School.
At that time, she was very surprised. She had no idea how Ye Chen had trained himself to be able to get rid of his mediocre appearance in such a short period of time and put on the clothes of a genius. Shi Potian had to stay in the Emerald Martial School for seven to eight years to reach that level, while Ye Chen had only spent less than a year to surpass him, which sounded very unbelievable.
If that was all, it would not be a big deal. But what happened in the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region had completely shocked her.
First, he had saved her from the hands of Young Master Chun, and then he had left right away, as if he had saved someone who had nothing to do with him. This made her feel neglected, but at the same time, she also had a strange feeling. She couldn't help but pay attention to him. Even when Yuanheng Ying wanted to kill him, she couldn't bear it anymore and asked for help from her head disciple, Zhuang Fei. But later, she realized that it was unnecessary. In the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace, he had not only broken through to the Clasping Yuan Realm, he had also defeated Yuanheng Ying and her head disciple, which made him the biggest winner in the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region. Even that Hidden Dragon Ranked martial artist, Hong Qianjun, seemed to have been killed by him, and it was even before he entered the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace.
This made her realize that Ye Chen had already become the number one martial artist among the young generation of the Windy Nation, and also the number one martial artist among the young generation of the entire Windy Nation. He had left everyone behind, and walked further and further on his own. His name had already become a legend in the Windy Nation. In the martial world, everyone was talking about him, talking about him. Those female disciples, young ladies from big families, rich families, and even young ladies from government families, all of them were talking about Ye Chen. They were talking about this rare martial genius of the Windy Nation. Some people even called him the 'Thousand Year Genius', thinking that with his amazing cultivation speed, he could possibly become the first Sea of Souls Realm martial artist in the Windy Nation in the past one thousand years.
This speculation had come true, and it had become a reality. Right now, Ye Chen was indeed the top martial genius of the Windy Nation. After going out for a trip, he had reached the Late Clasping Yuan Realm from the Early Clasping Yuan Realm, which meant that his power had increased by more than two times. It could not be more accurate to describe him as' a thousand miles in a day '.
He had passed the three challenges of the dragon gate in an amazing way. In the first stage of the elimination battles, he had won ten out of ten battles, and every battle was extremely easy. In the second stage of the elimination battles, he had first beaten Gao Feng, who was ranked number nine in the top ten new stars, and then he had beaten the third disciple of the Sky Demon Martial School, Wu Liangyu. Then, he had beaten Tang Xiaoshan with an unimaginable sword attack, letting everyone know that he had not been serious about the previous battles, and that it was just the beginning.
Meanwhile, all of the older young warriors of the Windy Nation had already been eliminated a long time ago. They could only watch him battling on the stage, moving forward with determination and power.
The Hidden Dragon Rank was the top competition in the South Rudra Region. No matter how good Ye Chen's later battles were, he was already shining enough right now. His fame was catching up with the top young warriors of the South Rudra Region. As for the Windy Nation, it was only his starting point, and could not catch up with him at all.
Right now, his stage was the South Rudra Region, where he would compete with all of the top martial geniuses from the super martial institutions, becoming a real powerful warrior step by step.
With that thought in mind, Ji Xueyan looked at Ye Chen again.
The next opponents would be more and more powerful, especially Sikong Sheng and the others, who were terrifyingly powerful. It was hard for people to even think about fighting back. Could he create another miracle?
Perhaps this thought was a bit too crazy.
