"Eh? This dragon fountain Qi has the effect of nourishing the spirit and qi!" When the dragon-shaped shadow was only forty-three meters long, it was only good for the condition, as it would not be easily affected by negative emotions. However, after growing to fifty-seven meters, the spirit and qi that Ye Chen had lost had obviously been replenished.
Spirit and qi were the most important things in the human body, and would be consumed in everything they did. For example, raising one's hand would consume a little bit of spirit and speaking a word would consume a little bit of spirit and qi. However, the consumption was so small that it could be completely ignored. But what was undeniable was that spirit and qi were indeed being consumed all the time, and would need to be replenished through careful rest. Otherwise, it would have a big or small effect. After seven or eight battles, Ye Chen had consumed a little bit of spirit and qi, but right now, it had been replenished completely.
Thinking about it, Ye Chen could easily think of training.
Training for warriors would consume a lot of spirit and qi. Ever since he had the spirit replenishing pellets, qi replenishing pellets, and spirit replenishing pellets, Ye Chen's training speed had increased drastically. He was no slower than any of the martial geniuses. The reason why he could reach Late Clasping Yuan Realm within one year was all because of these three pellets.
Right now, with the dragon fountain Qi that could replenish his spirit and qi, together with the spirit and qi replenishing pellets, his training speed would definitely increase to the next level.
"No wonder the warriors in the last Hidden Dragon Rank could train faster than the others. It must be because of the dragon fountain Qi." Ye Chen thought to himself.
"The tenth battle, Gu Youyun against Qian Yun!"
Gu Youyun was the second disciple of the Floating Martial School. Just like Qian Yun, she did not make it into the last Hidden Dragon Rank. She was only nineteen years old, and she was very small and pretty, just like the girl next door. She did not seem to have the Stone King bloodline at all.
Compared to Gu Youyun, Qian Yun looked more arrogant and aggressive. Whenever he opened and closed his eyes, there would be a bright light shining. The two had formed a huge contrast.
"Huh! I don't care what Stone King bloodline you have. I will beat you." Qian Yun naturally knew that it was Gu Youyun who had stolen his seeded contestant status. He planned to use all of his power to beat her and show everyone that only he could be a seeded contestant.
"Please." Gu Youyun cupped her fists.
Qian Yun said impatiently, "There's no need for pointers. You and I have to decide who's the winner. Take this!"
Yelling in a low voice, Qian Yun extended his body and appeared in the sky above Gu Youyun. He threw out a palm attack.
This palm strike was like a thunderbolt, as if it had stirred up all the clouds in the sky. It was the top rank Earth Realm martial art of the Sunset Martial School, the Purple Sunset Thunder Palm.
"Crack!"
Gu Youyun was not surprised at all. She swung her fist to meet the attack.
With a loud bang, the two of them flew backward.
"Cloud Shadow!"
Since his palm attack had failed, Qian Yun performed his high-rank Earth Realm flying art, Phantom Cloud Shadow. His body flashed once and disappeared from where he was standing. When he reappeared, he was already right next to Gu Youyun. Then, his body was like a ghost, like a cloud, circling around Gu Youyun.
Bang bang bang bang bang …
Being caught off guard, Gu Youyun was hit six times in a row. Her protective Zhen Qi was almost shattered, and her blood and Qi were boiling. It looked like she was going to lose.
"Stone King Protective Fist Art!"
In that critical moment, Gu Youyun stabilized her qi and blood. She lowered her center of gravity and pushed out all of her zhen Qi, throwing it out along with her fist aura.
After throwing out one punch, her protective zhen Qi had increased by one percent. By the third punch, her protective zhen Qi had increased by three percent. Qian Yun had not only failed, but had also lost his balance because of the fist power.
"It is the Stone King's unique martial art, the Stone King Protective Fist Art. This fist art is different from most other fist arts. It focuses more on defense, but its attacking power is weaker."
"With this fist art, it would be impossible for Qian Yun to finish the battle quickly."
"Now, let's see who has more stamina."
Qian Yun had never seen such a weird fist art before. It could actually strengthen his protective zhen Qi and shake away part of his power.
"Then let's see if your Stone King Protective Fist Art is more powerful, or my Purple Sunset Thunder Palm!" Giving up on using his flying art, Qian Yun threw out all of his attacks, attacking towards Gu Youyun one after another.
Pap! Pap!
Within a blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of attacks. The sky was filled with palm shadows and fist shadows.
"Thunder Four Movement!"
As the battle reached its climax, Qian Yun yelled out and threw out both of his palms.
All of a sudden, the sky was filled with thunder and lightning. The sound was not any weaker than the thunder in the sky. There was obviously the poetic perspective of thunder contained within.
The protective zhen Qi layer outside of Gu Youyun's body started to peel off layer by layer. It started to weaken rapidly as she backed out four steps, leaving four deep footprints on the battling platform.
"Sunset Five Movement!"
Qian Yun was not going to let his opponent go easily. Before the Thunder Four Movement was finished, he performed the last movement of the Purple Sunset Thunder Palm, the Sunset Five Movement.
Compared to the Thunder Four Movement, the Sunset Five Movement's attacking speed was much faster, and it had endless power. Gu Youyun did not even have the chance to fight back. She could only passively step back, step back, and step back again. Even with the Stone King Body Protective Fist Art's buff, the zhen Qi layer outside of her body had already been weakened to the point where it could break at any second. In everyone's eyes, Gu Youyun was basically going to lose.
Only Ye Chen and a few other people could see that something was not right. Every time Gu Youyun backed out, a wave of power would be accumulated inside her body. This power was not released at all, but it was getting stronger and stronger. In the end, it was already showing signs of breaking through.
Waiting until the last movement of Qian Yun's Sunset Five Movement landed, Gu Youyun did not back out. Instead, she moved forward and fought back like a thunderbolt. The aggressive fist power was like a collapsing mountain.
"The Stone King's Anger!"
It was said that the Stone King was a good-tempered man back in the day, and would not get angry easily. No matter how his opponents tried to provoke him, he would not fight back. However, once his emotions had accumulated to the limit, anyone who tried to provoke him again would face the Stone King's anger. Not many people knew how horrifying an angry Stone King could be, because they were all dead. Strangely, the good-tempered Stone King ended up with enemies everywhere. After his death, even his bloodline was almost wiped out. No one knew why.
The Stone King Protective Fist Art was a top rank Earth Realm fist art created by the Stone King. The Stone King's Anger was one of the top three ace attacks. Right then, she performed it with a horrifying aura, as if the space was about to be shattered by her.
Pooh!
Puking out a large amount of blood, Qian Yun was blown backward.
"This little girl is not simple. She is able to stay so calm and turn the situation around at the last second, beating Qian Yun."
"Unless she could easily break through Gu Youyun's protective zhen Qi layer, once the Stone King's Anger comes out, anyone who is more powerful than her would lose."
"There are not many people who could break through her defense. Gu Youyun's defense is even more powerful than Bing Ling's. The Stone King Protective Fist Art is not something to be trifled with."
Everyone was quite impressed with the Stone King's martial art, so they could not help but think more highly of Gu Youyun.
A part of his dragon fountain Qi had been taken away, and Qian Yun's heart was bleeding. He had lost the battle that he was so confident in, and in such a strange way.
"Thank you!" Gu Youyun looked like she was from a powerful family. She held her fists together again before leaving the stage. However, this made Qian Yun even angrier, as he thought she was mocking him.
…
It was already the afternoon, and the competition had already reached the nineteenth round.
Ye Chen had won eighteen battles, and his dragon-shaped shadow had finally reached beyond five meters, reaching twenty-one meters. However, Tuo Baku had also caught up, and was at twenty-one meters, while Murong Qingcheng was at sixty-three meters. The three's dragon fountain Qi was almost the same, and they could easily surpass any warrior with a rich dragon fountain Qi.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen had encountered a young warrior who was ranked fourteenth in the last Hidden Dragon Rank. After taking away his opponent's dragon fountain Qi, his dragon-shaped shadow had grown again, reaching twenty-four meters. Judging on the amount of dragon fountain Qi, he was already in the top twenty of this Hidden Dragon Rank.
Xu Jing had won fifteen out of eighteen battles, and her dragon-shaped shadow was twelve meters long.
Lynch had won nine out of eighteen battles, and his dragon-shaped shadow was around twenty-five meters.
As for Sikong Sheng and the rest of the warriors, their growth was very small. Sikong Sheng was still twenty-four meters, while Yan Chihuo was twenty-five meters, Li Daoxuan was twenty-four meters, and Lin Yun was twenty-four meters. All of them had grown within one or two feet, and could not be like Ye Chen and the rest, who had grown at an insane speed.
When the twenty-first battle had ended, the sky had turned dark.
The head judge announced that the battles for the day had ended, and it would continue tomorrow morning.
…
Under everyone's expectation, the long night had passed by slowly.
The second morning.
Battles continued to happen on the battling platform.
The twenty-second battle had ended.
The thirty-third battle had ended.
The thirty-eighth battle had ended.
Until the thirty-ninth battle had ended, the dragon-shaped shadow outside of Ye Chen's body had grown to twenty-four meters, only one step away from twenty-four meters.
Up until now, there were only ten warriors who had reached twenty-four meters in dragon-shaped shadow. Among them, six of them were old top young warriors, and the other four were the top ten young warriors in the last Hidden Dragon Rank. They were quite lucky, as they had not encountered any top young warriors, and were still undefeated. As for Tuo Baku, Murong Qingcheng, and Gu Youyun, they were just like Ye Chen, still not able to reach twenty-four meters. Zhang Feng, who was ranked ninth in the last Hidden Dragon Rank, and Gu Qing, who was ranked tenth, could have made it, but unfortunately, they had lost to Tuo Baku and Ye Chen respectively. Right now, they were only around six meters, which was still a long way away from twenty-four meters.
"The fifth battle of the fortieth round, Ye Chen against Liu Chuan!"
Liu Chuan was indeed the young warrior who was ranked thirteenth in the last Hidden Dragon Rank, and whose dragon-shaped shadow had reached twenty-two meters. However, when he found out that his opponent was Ye Chen, he could not help but feel nervous. Although he knew that there would be a battle, when the time came, he was still a bit annoyed.
Increasing his zhen Qi layer to its limit, Liu Chuan stared at Ye Chen cautiously. Facing this year's top young warrior, it was not that he did not want to be lucky.
"Sky Shattering Clouds!"
Ye Chen did not plan to waste any more time. He held his sword with both of his hands and threw out a sword attack.
Thunder and lightning appeared in the sky, and the wind started to pick up. An invisible massive sword Qi was thrown out with the sky full of thunder and lightning.
Liu Chuan, who was prepared for this, was shocked. He had only managed to dodge half of the attack, while the other half had completely shattered his zhen Qi layer. Half of his body had gone numb, and he had lost the battle within a second.
Awooo!
The dragon-shaped shadow jumped onto Liu Chuan's body, then turned back.
Right now, the dragon-shaped shadow was twenty-three meters long.
