His Green Lotus Sword Spell had reached the tenth realm under the pressure, but it was not that simple. Sometimes, the breakthrough of a martial art required not only the comprehensive ability, but also the explosive power. When the explosive power had nowhere to go, it would naturally follow the best path. But of course, one could not expect to be this lucky every time. Most of the time, the breakthrough of a martial art would have to be done step by step. Looking forward to the next three steps, hoping for luck to come would be short-sighted after all.
"My body has almost recovered. Closing up should be no problem." The three thousand years old Blood Sun Flower was way too powerful. Even though he had lost a part of it, there was still a lot of it hidden deep inside his body, constantly nourishing his Qi and blood. Right now, Ye Chen had to pay close attention to be able to sense some slight discomfort, which was slowly disappearing.
Sitting on the stone platform with his legs crossed, he took out two mid-rank soul stones and held them in his hands, then closed his eyes.
…
While Ye Chen was closing up, the Sky Cloud Martial School had started a big reorganization.
This time, there were a lot of people who had run away from the Jin Huang incident. Among them, there were more than one thousand outer disciples, one hundred inner disciples, fifty outer masters, and four inner masters. Most of them had just joined the Sky Cloud Martial School, and they were not loyal enough yet.
Therefore, Luo Xinglie decided to give those disciples a chance. They were still young after all, and their loyalty could be trained slowly. It was understandable that they would run away in a life and death situation. However, the elders who had run away would not be so lucky. If they lost this chance, they would never be able to join the Sky Cloud Martial School again. Especially the four inner masters, they had lived in the Sky Cloud Martial School for more than ten years. Running away like this would make a lot of people feel ashamed.
In the main hall …
Luo Xinglie looked at Luo Hanshan and Zhu Mei, who were sitting in the middle of the hall. He cleared his throat and said, "Hanshan, Zhu Mei, you two have reached the Clasping Yuan Realm for a long time. It is not suitable for you to continue being the core disciples. Right now, there are some vacancies for the inner masters. Do you have any objections? "
The requirement to become an inner master in the Sky Cloud Martial School was relatively low. As long as one had proven his power, he or she could become an inner master as long as they were at the Mid Clasping Yuan Realm. Although Luo Hanshan and Zhu Mei were only at the Early Clasping Yuan Realm, their battling power was at the same level as Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warriors.
"Hanshan is fine!"
"Zhu Mei has no objections either!"
Indeed, the two of them did not have any objections. Now that Ye Chen was a Grand Elder and Xu Jing was a Core Elder, their statuses were extremely high. In formal occasions, they had to greet the two of them respectfully, which made them very uncomfortable. Now that they had become Inner Elders, the awkwardness was solved.
"Hm, keep working hard. The Sky Cloud Martial School still needs you to survive. Ye Chen and Xu Jing will most likely leave the Sky Cloud Martial School to train themselves. They will not be able to stay in the Sky Cloud Martial School for long." Luo Xinglie nodded.
Lou Hanshan and Zhu Mei glanced at each other, a bitter smile appeared on their faces. It was not that they couldn't go out to train themselves, but in order to go to a bigger place, they would need to be qualified. For example, the Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists of the Windy Nation would basically stay in the Windy Nation to train themselves in a small area. Very few of them would go to other nations, and the same was true for the martial artists of other nations. Normally, the weaker a martial artist was, the smaller the area he could train himself in. In order to break this rule, a martial artist would have to have an extremely great potential, which would allow him to grow stronger quickly in a dangerous situation. Otherwise, even if he was one step late, he would be in mortal danger. They were clearly aware of their own potential, and even if they could barely survive, it would still be very difficult for them to grow stronger quickly. Instead of risking their lives, they would rather stay in the Windy Nation, and occasionally go to other nations to train themselves.
All of the martial geniuses were like a group of fish swimming against the current. After a while, there would be a group of fish that would fall behind, and after a while, there would be another group that would fall behind. The ones who could actually swim to the top could be counted on one hand. Ye Chen and Xu Jing were without a doubt the leaders of this group of fish. The distance between them was getting further and further, and eventually, they were out of their sight.
…
Ha!
The mountain peak was steep, and the wind was fierce. Xu Jing, who was dressed in white, stood in the knife-like wind, wholeheartedly practicing her martial arts.
Of course, since her arms were already crippled, it was impossible for her to practice fist arts. Instead, she practiced leg arts and lightness skills.
It seemed to be caused by her personality and the martial arts she practiced. In the hands of Xu Jing, any martial arts would become as powerful as a thunderbolt, full of power. Together with her slender and graceful figure, she gave people a unique feeling, like a small white flower in the cold winter.
The biting cold wind was kicked away by the sharp knife-like leg force, and the angular mountain peak was flattened. Xu Jing's figure was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. When she was fast, she was like a shooting star, and when she was slow, she was like a floating paper crane. The combination of the two was quite harmonious, showing her extraordinary control over her body.
"Break!"
The leg force was like a knife. Xu Jing's leg chopped down diagonally, hitting the edge of the mountain peak.
With a cracking sound, a piece of the huge mountain peak was cut off. The cut surface was smooth and flat, and it was impossible to tell that it was caused by the leg force.
…
Before he knew it, two months had passed, and Ye Chen was still in closed-up training.
During this period of time, a few big things had happened in the Sky Cloud Martial School. The annual inner disciple ranking competition had just finished, and a lot of talented disciples had been discovered. The core disciples had increased from twenty to thirty, and among them, three had reached the Clasping Yuan Realm one after another.
The reason they could reach the Clasping Yuan Realm was more or less because of the dragon fountain Qi. But more importantly, it was because they had decided to fight against Jin Huang, which had affected them a lot. Every single one of them could feel that their will had been strengthened, and it was hard to be shaken.
Shocking Cloud Mountain …
Inside the spacious secret room, Ye Chen slowly let out a breath. The breath was like a stream of soft sword Qi, shooting through the wall in front of him.
"I have reached the eleventh realm of the Green Lotus Sword Spell, and it took me even less time to reach the eighth realm from the seventh realm." According to Ye Chen's original estimation, reaching the eleventh realm within half a year would already be very impressive. After the tenth realm of a top rank Earth Realm martial art, the next realm would get harder and harder to train. A lot of people would be stuck at the tenth realm for their entire lives, unable to make any progress. Some of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors who had trained top rank Earth Realm martial arts would only be stuck between the twelfth and thirteenth realm, because in the later stages, it would not take a lot of time to make a breakthrough. It would require both luck and enlightenment. Sometimes, with a sudden inspiration, one might be able to make a breakthrough.
The second his Green Lotus Sword Spell broke through to the eleventh realm, the six Green Lotus zhen Qi in his dantian slightly shook, and had a qualitative change. The pinky sized sword Qi was like a small fish, covered with a layer of sharp Qi. The tip of the sword Qi even seemed to be spitting out a cold light. That kind of spirituality and sharpness made even Ye Chen admire it. He could imagine how powerful the Green Lotus Sword Qi would be when it reached the thirteenth realm.
"Cut!"
Pointing out his finger, the Green Lotus Sword Qi shot out of his finger along his meridians. It tore open a thin mark on the ground, and eventually flashed through a stone pillar in the secret room.
Without a sound, a complete black line appeared in the middle of the stone pillar. If it were not for the support of the stone pillar underneath, the top half of the pillar would have fallen off without a doubt.
"So sharp! The stone pillar and the sword Qi did not even touch. Only the qi of the sword Qi had swept through it, and it had already been cut in two. It was so silent."
Ye Chen had seen it clearly. He secretly gasped. If the eleventh realm of the Green Lotus Sword Qi was already this powerful, then the thirteenth realm would be even more powerful. No wonder the manual said that even if the Green Lotus Sword Spell was separated, it would still be the top of the top rank Earth Realm martial art, only one step away from reaching the next realm.
"Right now, I am already at the peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm, and I have been training the Green Lotus Sword Spell. I can reach the zhen yuan refining stage at any moment. I have to push my martial art and my cultivation to the next level. By then, my power will increase exponentially!"
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen closed his eyes and sank into his training mode again.
…
Time flew like water. Four months had passed since Ye Chen went into closed-up training for the second time. The Sky Cloud Martial School had officially walked out of the big reorganization. Everyone was united. Whether it was the core masters, the inner masters, the outer masters, the core disciples, the inner disciples, or the outer disciples, everyone looked refreshed. Many of the warriors who came to visit the Sky Cloud Martial School could already feel that kind of unbreakable aura before they even got close to the Sky Cloud Martial School. They could not help but click their tongues.
On this day, a group of outer disciples who had gone to the Silent Hills for the training had hurried up the mountain with blood stains all over their bodies.
"What's wrong? What happened?" An Inner Court Disciple stopped them and asked with a frown.
The leading outer disciple breathed heavily and said, "Not good! The number of beasts in the Silent Hills has increased a lot. Some of them have never been seen before. They are very different from normal beasts. We were attacked by a group of low rank beasts when we just got in. Nine of us were killed."
"Nine people died? Let's go. I will take you to the main palace. You need to tell the leader and all the masters about the details. This is very important. We cannot afford to be careless. " The Silent Hills had always been the training place for the outer disciples. The inner disciples would occasionally go there to look for some medicines as well. However, there had never been a situation where nine disciples had died at once. One or two deaths in a couple of months was already the limit.
After the group of outer disciples arrived at the main palace and told the leaders of the Sky Cloud Martial School what had happened, Luo Xinglie frowned a little and thought to himself, 'The outer part of the Silent Hills is not that dangerous. There are only one or two rank 7 beasts in the deeper part of the hills. This is very strange.'
The deepest part of the Silent Hills was listed as a forbidden area by the Sky Cloud Martial School. Everyone in the Sky Cloud Martial School knew about it. However, after this incident, the entire Silent Hills would probably be listed as a forbidden area. They would lose a great training place.
The head master of the Sky Cloud Martial School suggested, "Leader, we should inform the Great Master first."
Luo Xinglie nodded, "You go and gather everyone in the plaza. Tell them not to go to the Silent Hills for a while. We will talk about it after we know the result."
"Yes!"
Cloud Dreaming Peak.
After hearing Luo Xinglie's words, Cloud Dreamer exchanged a look with Thunder Freer, "Brother Thunder, you help me take care of the Sky Cloud Martial School. I will go to the Silent Hills to check it out."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"No need. Ye Chen is in closed-door training right now. He cannot be disturbed. The Sky Cloud Martial School needs someone to take care of it. Plus, I am quite familiar with the Silent Hills. If anything happens, I will come back immediately. Even a top rank 7 beast would not be able to stop me."
"Alright then. You be careful." Thunder Freer knew about Cloud Dreamer's flying art. Although Cloud Dreamer was not as fast as him in a straight line, he was much better than him in other aspects.
