All of a sudden, the whole battling field became so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard. After two or three blinks of an eye, the crowd started to chatter again.
"This is the seventy … seventy percent sword intent! Am I seeing it right?"
"Although there is only a ten percent difference between seventy and sixty percent, seventy percent sword intent has already reached the upper realm of the sword intent, while sixty percent is only the lower realm. The two are completely different, just like the difference between a high-level warrior and a low-level warrior."
"This is unbelievable! This is unbelievable! Ye Chen's ace card is the seventy percent sword intent! Even among the Astral Reaching Realm warriors, very few of them have reached this level!"
Everyone was shocked, unable to believe what they had just heard.
In the front row of the audience seating, Song Yan, the Astral Reaching Realm warrior who had competed with Ye Chen for the sword-shaped plant in the Gold Tripod City Auction, was slightly shocked. He remembered that at that time, Ye Chen's sword intent was only at fifty percent. Could it be that the two sword-shaped plants had directly increased his sword intent by twenty percent? It did not seem possible!
The sword-shaped plant contained a bit of the Battle King's sword intent, but if one wanted to increase the sword intent with the plant, the chance would be extremely small. It would already be extremely lucky if one out of ten people managed to do it, not to mention increasing it by twenty percent all of a sudden. Plus, there was a huge gap between the sixty percent and seventy percent sword intent. The sixty percent sword intent was still at the lower realm of the sword intent, while the seventy percent sword intent was the upper realm. Once one managed to reach the upper realm, it would mean that one had made a great achievement in the sword intent, which would be very meaningful.
Before, Song Yan had bought a sword-shaped plant from Ye Chen, but it had only helped him a little bit. His sword intent did not increase at all, and was still at ninety percent.
No matter what, in order to increase the sword intent, one would need to have an extremely powerful understanding of the sword art. Otherwise, even a Life and Death Realm warrior would not be able to be one's teacher.
"A rare genius of the sword art!" Song Yan took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly.
The second Ye Chen released his seventy percent sword intent, Li Daoxuan had finally understood why he had that kind of instinct. It turned out that the biggest reason was Ye Chen, who was powerful enough to compete with Sikong Sheng. This was his real ace card. Before, he had not been serious at all.
"The realm of sword intent is indeed terrifyingly strong."
Li Daoxuan made a comparison and found that the 60% Sword Intent didn't even look like it was going to raise its head in front of the 70% Sword Intent.
As for Yan Chihuo, he had almost bitten his own tongue. He had never thought that Ye Chen's hidden ace would be the seventy percent sword intent. The sword intent was just like the blade intent, the higher the level, the more difficult it would be. But at the same time, the power would also be more and more terrifying. Moreover, the seventy percent sword intent was the upper level of the sword intent. If Ye Chen used his seventy percent sword intent during the battle, not only would Yan Chihuo's peak sixty percent blade intent not be able to compete with it, but he would also be suppressed, and would only be able to use eighty percent of his power.
"Impossible! How can his sword intent be at such a high level?" The leader of the Purple Sun Martial School, Tu Chongshan, tightened his fists. The more powerful Ye Chen was, the more of a threat he would be to the Purple Sun Martial School. Given time, once he reached the Astral Reaching Realm, even the Great Master might not be able to suppress him, which was not what Tu Chongshan wanted to see.
The head master of the Purple Sun Martial School had a bad look on his face as he sneered, "Sikong Sheng is not a pushover. The half-step zhen yuan had increased his power in all aspects, and he would be able to compete with Early Astral Reaching Realm warriors. But, Ye Chen cannot be allowed to live either. After the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions, we will find a chance to kill him, no matter how high the price is."
"Indeed! This guy cannot be allowed to live. Otherwise, the Purple Sun Martial School would never have a chance to rise again."
"Kill!"
All of the people from the Purple Sun Martial School had a murderous look on their faces.
On the judge's seat, the thirteen judges gasped.
"I had thought that Sikong Sheng would definitely win. But now, it seems like the first place of the Hidden Dragon Rank is not a foregone conclusion." One of the judges sighed.
The former group three judge, who had been watching Ye Chen win all the battles, nodded, "Not even eighteen years old, seventy percent sword intent. This has definitely broken the record of the sword artists in the South Rudra Region for decades. It would not be wrong to call him the rare sword art genius in the South Rudra Region."
"It is not easy to make a conclusion yet." The head judge said, "Extracting zhen yuan depends on the rank of the martial arts, and the number of times is different. For mid-rank Earth Realm martial arts, it would take eight times to convert the zhen Qi into zhen yuan. For high-rank Earth Realm martial arts, it would take four times, and for top rank Earth Realm martial arts, it would take two times. Sikong Sheng had already done it once, and he was at the half-step zhen yuan level. Although it would not be like the zhen yuan, which could burn the zhen yuan to increase the power, the quality would be way better than normal zhen Qi. The attacking power it would bring would not just be a little bit, but would be doubled. If Ye Chen wants to compete with Sikong Sheng, it would still be a bit difficult for him to do it with only seventy percent sword intent."
Extracting zhen yuan was a very difficult process, and it would take a long time. Even a martial genius would not be able to do it in a short amount of time. But once it was done once, the power would increase drastically, and he would be able to reach the next level.
With seventy percent sword intent coming out of his body, Ye Chen felt a lot more relaxed. Before, he had limited his sword intent, which made it hard for him to fight freely. But Ye Chen believed that if there was a Ye Chen who had only learned sixty percent sword intent, he would definitely be able to beat him, who had limited his sword intent to sixty percent, because the former would be the most comfortable way for him to fight, while he would have to put on the shackles of his own accord, which would make it different.
The pure horrifying sword intent spread out in the air, piercing through the air. Sikong Sheng's storm-like aura had been shattered into nothingness by the sword intent once it got close. Right then, Ye Chen was like a godly weapon that had been unearthed from the ground, telling the world what it meant to be sharp and unstoppable.
Pooh!
Sikong Sheng could vaguely hear his aura being shattered. His slightly raised eyelids finally dropped down, his eyes looking at Ye Chen at the same level, "Very good! I thought it would be a one-sided battle. Right now, you are qualified for me to be serious. But of course, that is all."
His aura had stopped spreading out, and Sikong Sheng took back his aura. His not-so-tall body was like a mountain, an unreachable peak.
Under the influence of the sword intent, the Star Scar Sword vibrated slightly, seeming to want to get out of its scabbard and kill everything in front of it. Ye Chen did not look happy or angry as he said, "No need to talk anymore. Let's fight!"
Once the word "fight" came out, Ye Chen's sword intent became even sharper. Everyone seemed to see a peerless great sword floating above Ye Chen's head, which would be able to kill with just a thought. All of the young girls saw this scene, their hearts beating extremely fast, and their faces blushed.
"Let me remind you that only with the help of half-step zhen yuan can my Mysterious Sky Tyrant Fist Art perform its peak power." With both of his hands hanging casually on his sides, Sikong Sheng took a step forward. That ocean-like aura exploded again, looking down on the whole world.
"Sikong Sheng is going to attack! This is his first real attack."
The young generation under the stage could feel their hearts racing uncontrollably. Their mouths were all dry, and they could not even blink their eyes, afraid to miss the most crucial moment.
His aura exploding to its limit, Sikong Sheng yelled, "Take my first fist attack! Fist Conquering the World!"
Boom!
The battling platform shook violently, cracks appearing out of nowhere. Then, the space where Ye Chen was suddenly tightened and collapsed, forming a natural prison, trapping Ye Chen inside. At the same time, that powerful fist power attacked out along with Sikong Sheng's aura. Crack! Crack!
Crack! Crack!
After throwing out one fist attack, the battling platform, which had gone through countless battles and was only slightly damaged, created a tunnel. That aggressive qi flow made everyone's scalp numb.
Chin!
Ye Chen took out his Star Scar Sword with his right hand. His seventy percent sword intent had found a target to attach to. That horrifying sharp light spread out in all directions, shocking everyone. Right then, the sword intent was the most powerful sword intent. If a sword artist did not take out his sword, the sword intent would not be able to perform its peak power.
"Sky Shattering Clouds!"
A half meter thick bolt of lightning shot out. Not only did it break free from the shackles of space, it also absorbed enough thunder and cloud elemental energy from the air. Under everyone's dumbfounded gaze, it heavily slammed into the fist energy.
Boom!
The air started to explode. That horrifying collision power formed a visible shining pattern and horrifying qi flow. The sealing light wall could no longer handle the destructive power of the two attacks, and started to expand to its limit. Along with a popping sound, countless tiny cracks appeared. The qi flow and the remaining sword qi shot out through the cracks, looking like countless arm-thick light pillars. Looking over, the whole battling platform looked like a shining hedgehog.
The sealing light wall had been punctured!
Everyone was shocked!
"Watch out!"
Around the battling platform was an abyss, and on the other side of the abyss was where the young warriors were standing. Seeing those beams of qi flow and sword qi shooting towards them, the young warriors screamed out loud. They all performed their ace attacks to protect themselves while backing out step by step.
"So horrifying! Just the aftermath of the qi flow is enough to make us use all of our power." The young warriors could feel the gap between them and the two on the stage, so they were getting more and more shocked.
Murong Qingcheng waved off the qi flow attack, staring at the two on the stage without blinking. More specifically, she was paying attention to Ye Chen, the one who had shocked everyone from the beginning to the end.
Ye Chen and Sikong Sheng both backed out dozens of meters at the same time. That exchange just now was more or less a test, so it was not their most powerful attack.
"Half-step zhen yuan … It is indeed powerful." It was the first time that Ye Chen had felt such a huge pressure. If he did not use all of his power, he might very well lose. The young king warriors of the South Rudra Region were always talking nonsense.
"Seventy percent sword intent, the poetic perspective of cloud and thunder!" Sikong Sheng looked surprised. As Ye Chen's seventy percent sword intent exploded, his martial poetic perspective had also reached an extremely high level, and he could not afford to underestimate it. Waving his sleeves, Sikong Sheng said lightly, "Being able to block out this fist attack means that you indeed have the power to compete with me. But, that was just a test. For the next one, you will have to be extra careful."
The Mountain Conquering Fist had the effect of binding space, so its attacking power would inevitably be a bit weaker. Sikong Sheng knew that instead of binding his opponent, it would be better to beat his opponent with absolute power.
"This sword attack was also my test. The Sky Shattering Clouds does not only have this kind of power!" For this Hidden Dragon Rank competition, Ye Chen had prepared a lot. He had more than three ace attacks, two of which he would not use unless absolutely necessary.
"Still just a test?"
"No way!"
The first exchange between the two had already shocked everyone. Now hearing them say that it was just a test, everyone was speechless.
