Although he had already prepared to give up on that stream of zhen yuan, it would be a lie to say that he did not feel pain in his heart. After all, he had not used that stream of zhen yuan even once since he started to cultivate it. He did not even know how powerful it was, which made Ye Chen feel pain in his heart.
But now, there was no need to worry. The Zhen yuan had already merged with the Green Lotus Zhen Qi. As time passed, the Mysterious Zhen yuan would also be converted into Green Lotus Zhen yuan, and would no longer have any connection with the Mysterious Zhen Qi. So, there would not be any problem of not being able to use it.
"Perhaps, the problem lies with the Great Mystery Art. Otherwise, the moment the Great Mystery zhen qi disappeared, the Great Mystery zhen yuan should have disintegrated immediately, instead of staying there and giving the green lotus zhen qi a chance to react." Ye Chen could vaguely feel that the martial arts from the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace were not simple at all. A mid-rank Earth Realm martial art could actually produce a stream of zhen yuan, which was unbelievable.
"Never mind. Trying to understand something that I cannot understand is not a good thing."
Ye Chen shook his head, and did not want to spend any more time on this topic.
Sinking his consciousness into his dantian again, Ye Chen saw that the Mysterious zhen yuan was slowly moving in the Green Lotus zhen Qi, gradually transforming into the Green Lotus zhen yuan. During the transformation, the Mysterious zhen yuan was inevitably a bit mixed. Not only did it contain a huge amount of Mysterious zhen yuan, but also a small amount of Green Lotus zhen yuan.
Moving his attention away from the zhen yuan, Ye Chen focused on the three Green Lotus sword Qi outside the zhen Qi spiral.
These three Green Lotus sword Qi were only as long as a pinky finger. They were pure blue, without any impurities, and looked a bit illusory. They looked like streams of sharp airflow, spinning around the zhen Qi spiral in a regular pattern. They were in perfect order, and did not clash with each other at all.
"I have reached the seventh level of the Green Lotus Sword Spell in less than two months. This speed is indeed a bit fast. It seems that the higher my cultivation, the faster my martial arts will be."
Ye Chen did not think that his training speed was ten times faster than the other top martial geniuses. It should be known that not only normal warriors needed to change their martial arts, even the disciples of the super martial institutions needed to change their martial arts. Because when one's cultivation was still low, even if one was given a powerful martial art, one would not be able to train it normally. Therefore, in the early stages of training, most people would be training the Mortal Realm martial arts instead of the Earth Realm martial arts. Martial arts had always been about progress step by step.
Those top martial geniuses had just reached the Clasping Yuan Realm and had already started to train high-rank or top-rank Earth Realm martial arts, which was a challenge for them. If they were the same as Ye Chen and only started to train top-rank Earth Realm martial arts at their current cultivation, their speed would definitely be much faster.
It was just like how Ye Chen was still unable to learn the Sky Realm martial arts right now. He had spent more than a year to learn it, but Sea of Souls Realm warriors were able to learn it within a couple of months. Did it mean that Sea of Souls Realm warriors' comprehensive ability was ten times or even dozens of times better than Ye Chen's?
This was impossible.
The cultivation speed would be determined by the level one reached. The meaning of being a martial genius was that under the same conditions, their cultivation speed would be extremely fast. You could not compare an Early Clasping Yuan Realm martial genius with a Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial genius like Ye Chen, which would be unfair in itself.
Of course, Ye Chen was confident that under the same conditions, the cultivation speed of a peerless genius would not be able to match up to his, although it was not as exaggerated.
"Kill!"
Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, Ye Chen suddenly pointed his finger.
Chi!
A beam of cyan sword Qi darted out, leaving a zhang-long sword mark on the ground. It was not that powerful, only about the same as the sword Qi released by a normal Late Clasping Yuan Realm sword artist. It was not as powerful as the sword Qi released by Ye Chen's sword. As the sword Qi darted out, one of the Green Lotus Sword Qi in Ye Chen's dantian suddenly disappeared, and he would not be able to generate more in a short period of time. Only two Green Lotus Sword Qi were left spinning around his Zhen Qi.
"The Green Lotus Sword Qi inside my body has only been formed not long ago. It seems like I will need a long time to train it before I can bring out its full power."
Letting out a long breath, Ye Chen's finger swept across his storage ring. A huge pile of low-rank soul stones appeared on the ground. There were at least thousands of them.
In the early stages of changing martial arts, there was no need for soul stones to provide yuan qi, because the original zhen Qi could be directly converted into the current zhen Qi, which would save the training process. But, as the Mysterious zhen Qi was used up, it would be time to use soul stones to increase the training speed.
Two low-rank soul stones landed in Ye Chen's hand. He closed his eyes and operated the zhen Qi inside his body according to the seventh level of the Green Lotus Sword Spell.
Soon, Ye Chen opened his eyes.
"No, the low-rank soul stones' yuan qi is not pure enough. It cannot keep up with the Green Lotus zhen Qi's training speed. Do I have to use mid-rank soul stones?"
Normally, only the powerful warriors who had reached the Astral Reaching Realm would use mid-rank soul stones to train, because the zhen yuan was way too pure. It would take too much time to train the low-rank soul stones' yuan qi. Right now, Ye Chen was also facing this problem. The Green Lotus zhen Qi trained by the Green Lotus Sword Spell was extremely pure, at least twice as pure as the Mysterious zhen Qi. Therefore, using low-rank soul stones would be much more efficient.
Putting away the low-rank soul stones on the ground, Ye Chen took out hundreds of mid-rank soul stones.
After training for a while, Ye Chen nodded to himself. This time, he was right. Although it might be a bit of a waste to train the mid-rank soul stones' yuan qi into Green Lotus zhen Qi, compared to his power, it was nothing. With sixty to seventy thousand mid-rank soul stones, Ye Chen could definitely afford it.
Reaching the eighth level of the Green Lotus Sword Spell from the seventh level was a very difficult process. It took Ye Chen a whole two months before he finally succeeded.
Whoo!
A sharp qi flow spread out in the air. The walls of the secret room had all been eroded to a crisp, powder falling down.
After resting for half a day and eating something, Ye Chen continued to train his Green Lotus Sword Spell.
…
It had been seven months since Ye Chen started his closed-door training.
During this period of time, the Sky Cloud Martial School had undergone a huge change. Not only did the number of outer disciples increase from three thousand to five thousand, but the number of inner disciples had also increased from five hundred to seven hundred. The biggest change was the number of outer masters. Countless Clasping Yuan Realm warriors in the Windy Nation wanted to join the Sky Cloud Martial School.
Because of this, the leaders of the Sky Cloud Martial School had increased the difficulty of the selection. Besides having enough power, they also had to have a good character. Those with bad reputations were rejected, and those with ordinary reputations would not have any advantage. Only some of the Clasping Yuan Realm warriors with good reputations would have a higher chance of joining the Sky Cloud Martial School.
Many people expressed their dissatisfaction with what the leaders of the Sky Cloud Martial School had done. Unfortunately, what could they do? It was you who wanted to join the Sky Cloud Martial School, not the other way around.
On this day, the Sky Cloud Martial School was the same as usual, and the number of people who wanted to join had decreased a lot.
Hundreds of miles away, above the clouds, a beam of lightning flashed across.
Within the lightning, one could vaguely see a beast and two people. The beast was a demonic beast, and it had five wings. Two pairs of wings were symmetrical, and the one in the middle was a lot smaller. It was covered with lightning, and it was exactly this lightning that made its speed reach such a horrifying level. It was a couple of times faster than the Windy Vulture.
On the back of the demonic beast, two human figures were standing.
The elder on the left had a beard and was wearing a long grey robe. He was standing with his hands behind his back, looking like a powerful warrior. Next to the elder was a young man with a pair of god-like eyes. It was Sikong Sheng, who had lost to Ye Chen in the last battle of the Hidden Dragon Rank.
On the day when the Hidden Dragon Rank had ended, Sikong Sheng rode on the only rank 7 demonic beast in the Floating Mountain Martial School, the Bright Thunder Beast. He had rushed back to the Floating Mountain Martial School in one week and started his closed-door training. This was also the reason why he dared to challenge Ye Chen in half a year. After all, the South Rudra Region was way too big, and without a fast demonic beast, it would take at least one to two months to get back.
"Nine months of closed-door training. Do you have the confidence to beat Ye Chen?" The elder in the grey robe asked.
Sikong Sheng said, "In the last battle of the Hidden Dragon Rank, my first movement of the Mysterious Sky Tyrant Fist Art was not completed yet. My martial art had also stopped at the peak level of the eleventh realm, and had not reached the twelfth realm yet. This time, I have successfully trained my martial art to the twelfth realm, and I have also mastered the first movement of the Mysterious Sky Tyrant Fist Art. I have also learned the first movement of the second movement. It should be enough for me to beat him."
"That would be for the best. The demonic beast of the Sky Cloud Martial School is the Wind Eagle. It would take at least two months to get back from the Hidden Dragon Ancient City. In other words, he would only have seven months of closed-door training, which is two months less than you. He has reached the Late Clasping Yuan Realm, and seven months would not be able to increase his battling power that much.
"Huh! What belongs to me, I will take it back myself. The glory in the early stage is nothing." Sikong Sheng looked even colder.
The Bright Thunder Beast flew out of the clouds, and the two could already see the main mountain of the Sky Cloud Martial School not far away.
"Get down!"
The elder yelled.
Pap!
The lightning flashed once in the air. When it reappeared, it was already above the Sky Cloud Martial School.
"Such a fast demonic beast! There are people up there!"
"There are really people? They are not friendly! Hurry up and inform the leader and all the masters! "
The Bright Thunder Beast had made too much noise. Everyone on the main mountain of the Sky Cloud Martial School had been stirred up. They all rushed to the plaza on top of the main mountain.
Luo Xinglie walked out of the palace. Seeing Sikong Sheng on the Bright Thunder Beast, he squinted his eyes and said politely, "I am the leader of the Sky Cloud Martial School, Luo Xinglie. I wonder what brings you two here?"
The elder looked down at Luo Xinglie, "Let Ye Chen out."
"Ye Chen? He is in closed-door training. We should not disturb him. " Luo Xinglie frowned. He had more or less figured out why Sikong Sheng was here. It seemed like he had made some progress in the past nine months. This time, he must be here to beat Ye Chen and take back the dragon fountain Qi that belonged to him.
Shoo!
Sikong Sheng jumped down from the Bright Thunder Beast and looked around. He noticed that the inner disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School were all different. He sneered, "This battle is inevitable. I have made a deal with him. Let him fight me first, and then go into closed-door training."
The head master of the Sky Cloud Martial School said, "I am afraid that is not a good idea." To be honest, the head master had started to worry about Ye Chen. Sikong Sheng had come with a lot of power. If he did not have the confidence, he would not have come to the Sky Cloud Martial School. Since he had come, he must have the confidence to beat Ye Chen.
"What is not good about it?" The elder was a core master in the Floating Mountain Martial School. His cultivation had reached the Late Astral Reaching Realm a long time ago. He did not care about Luo Xinglie and the head master at all.
Hearing him, Luo Xinglie's face looked terrible. The situation was not in his favor. Even if he did not want to, there was nothing he could do. He sighed inwardly. This dragon fountain Qi was indeed a hot potato. It would not be easy to keep it. But, he was one of the people who knew about Ye Chen's closed-door training. It had only been seven months, and he would not be able to beat Sikong Sheng no matter what.
"Sikong Sheng, you seem to be late."
Right then, a clear voice was heard from the Shocking Cloud Mountain behind the main mountain. It was extremely sharp, like sword Qi, spreading out quickly.
