The morning of the second day …
The lobby of the fifth floor was bustling as usual. Many young warriors who were not in a hurry were chatting while drinking their morning tea.
The topic of the morning was who was the strongest among the young generation.
"In the southern sector, the Thunder Princess, Edict Prince, and Astral Spirit son are the leaders. Although the other two of the top five geniuses are as famous as them, their comprehensive power is still a bit weaker."
"You are right. But, who do you think is the strongest among the three?"
"That is hard to say. I personally prefer the Thunder Princess. In recent years, she has been the most famous. Her comprehensive ability and talent are both exceptional. Edict Prince and Astral Spirit son are a bit less famous. "
"Fame is not the standard of power. I admit that the Thunder Princess is very powerful, ridiculously so. But, there is no way to deny that she is in the most powerful region of the south, the thunder region. Therefore, she is the most famous."
"The Edict Prince was famous before the Thunder Princess. One year ago, the mysterious girl who suddenly appeared next to him was also very powerful. She was at least in the top twenty of the southern sector. From this, it is easy to see how powerful the Edict Prince is."
"The mysterious girl and the Edict Prince are inseparable. I heard that she is extremely beautiful, but she never talks in front of people." A young warrior seemed to know some inside information.
Hearing everyone's words, Ye Chen, who was drinking his morning tea, smiled. It was useless to guess who was strong and who was weak. For geniuses, one or two years could change a lot of things. Once they had a breakthrough, their power would improve by leaps and bounds. This was the most interesting part of the competition between geniuses. No one knew who was stronger. Everyone had confidence in themselves and thought that they had improved a lot, which was enough to beat everyone else.
"Murong Qingcheng is still comprehending the Soul Extinguishing Wave. Together with the profound martial skills of the Sky Flying Demon Martial School, her power should be able to skyrocket in the future."
The Soul Extinguishing Wave was not a normal low rank profound martial skill. It was a horrifying killing attack that targeted the soul. Without exaggeration, if she could comprehend the Soul Extinguishing Wave to a certain level, Murong Qingcheng would definitely be able to defeat those who were stronger than her in terms of comprehensive power.
"As for me, I will still focus on the breakthrough of the Green Lotus Sword Spell. The ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Art will be second, and then the undying body."
From the thirteenth realm to the fourteenth realm of the Green Lotus Sword Spell, there were three breakthroughs that needed to be made. When he was in the Extreme Yin Region, Ye Chen had already made one breakthrough. Now, the second breakthrough had also started to loosen. Once the second breakthrough was made, he would not be too far away from the fourteenth realm. Once the Green Lotus Sword Spell reached the fourteenth realm, his Zhen yuan would definitely be a lot purer, and the nine green lotus sword Qi would merge into one lotus heart sword Qi.
Then, his battle power would increase drastically. Next would be the ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Spell. Originally, he thought that the ninth movement would be just as powerful as the Sky Thunder Cut, but now, he realized that he was wrong. The ninth movement would definitely be a lot more powerful than the Sky Thunder Cut. Otherwise, he would have already mastered it a few days ago. However, the potential of the Sky Thunder Cut was not limited to just this, because the current Sky Thunder Cut had only combined eight movements of the Sky Cloud Sword Art.
As for the undying body, Ye Chen did not expect to succeed in a short period of time. He could not even leave a mental imprint on his body, not to mention a soul imprint. However, it did not mean that the undying body would be useless for the time being. If he was lucky, he would be able to leave a mental imprint on his heart three out of ten times. In this way, his heart would no longer be a fatal wound.
Besides these three aspects, Ye Chen was also training the Void Shattering Finger. Although he could not escape into the surreal space, the training of the Void Shattering Finger would be very slow. However, steady progress was the way of the king.
"I wonder how strong Thunder Princess, Edict Prince, and that Astral Spirit son are. I'm really looking forward to it!"
In truth, Ye Chen did not care too much about fame. He was looking forward to seeing someone in the younger generation who could fight him with all his strength. A crazy battle, a battle to his limits, a battle to his heart's content. Although he could also fight Sea of Soul realm experts with all his strength, it could not compare to the passion of fighting with the younger generation.
At this moment, someone suddenly brought the topic to Ye Chen, "What do you guys think his strength can rank in the southern sector?"
"He's very strong. I can't see through him at all."
"Indeed, I reckon that top twenty is very likely."
"Top twenty? Isn't that too high of an estimate? Apart from the five great geniuses, there are still a few geniuses in Thunder Region chasing after Thunder Princess. The regions of Edict Prince and Astral Spirit son also have a lot of powerful geniuses. Moreover, these two tea gatherings will not only have geniuses from the southern sector, but also the neighboring regions. Top twenty is already the peak level."
"I don't think it's too high of an estimate. Yesterday, the might of his sword finger still makes my heart palpitate. Don't you guys feel it?"
Everyone turned silent.
How could they forget the matter of Ye Chen defeating the three geniuses of Thunder Region? At that moment, it was the first time they had felt such a sharp sword aura, and even their souls were trembling.
"This Martial Tea Gathering might create a golden age!"
Someone broke the silence.
…
The night arrived once again, and lightning flickered in the sky from time to time.
In an inconspicuous alley, in an inconspicuous courtyard, two mysterious people were conversing. The one on the left was a skinny middle-aged man wearing a dark, colorful robe. His face was purple, as if he had been poisoned. His left hand was playing with a black spider, and his slightly narrowed eyes occasionally emitted a purple cold light. The one on the right was wearing a bamboo hat and hemp clothes. He was sitting there, and if one did not look carefully, one would not be able to sense his existence. He was easily ignored, like a poisonous snake in the grass, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Five Poison, I didn't expect you to have already entered the Sea of Soul realm. Relying on your poison arts alone, I'm afraid there are no Soul realm experts that can do anything to you."
A hoarse voice came from the hemp garbed man.
The colorful-robed middle-aged man chuckled, "Elder Rain, that kid is not simple. I saw with my own eyes that he was evenly matched with the Supreme Elder of the Sunder Soul Sect, Ghost Moon. It's a pity that my poison arts clashed with my body, or else I would've killed him."
"Are you sure you can kill him now?"
"In a head-on battle, not a hundred percent."
"If I'm not wrong, that kid has something you want!" The hemp garbed man said.
The multicolor-robed man licked his lips, "Right."
He was also one of the people searching for the secret of the undying body. However, due to his special identity, he didn't appear openly with the others, but acted in the dark. That day, he saw everything that happened in the Stoneman Array. He thought that the person who disappeared would appear in a few days, but who knew that there would be no result after a month. Later on, he heard that the Tea Gathering was about to begin, so he decided to wait for Ye Chen in Thunder Pool City. If Ye Chen came out, he would probably participate in the Tea Gathering, and Thunder Pool City was the only way. If Ye Chen didn't appear, then it would be a waste of time.
He didn't expect that Ye Chen would appear in Thunder Pool City as he had expected. He had a premonition that Ye Chen had obtained the undying body, and he was determined to obtain it. With the undying body, his poison Zhen Yuan wouldn't harm his body, and he could use his poison arts without restraint. As for Elder Rain, he had met him by chance. He didn't tell him about the undying body.
He, the Five Poison Ghost General, wouldn't trust anyone.
"Let's do it! I really want to see how far your poison arts have progressed. "The linen-robed man didn't ask anymore.
"He will. Tonight will be the day he dies."
Taking a deep breath, the Five Poison Ghost General spread out his right hand, and purple Zhen Yuan gushed out, condensing into a huge snake head. The snake head was vivid and lifelike, without a trace of falsehood. Fine purple scales were closely arranged, and the snake eyes were cold and emotionless.
Hiss!
A hissing sound was heard as the snake head opened its mouth, letting out a strand of purple smoke. It didn't have any impurities, and was as dense as water. It stretched longer and longer in the air, becoming thinner and thinner. Eventually, it reached a colorless level and floated out of the window, over the wall, and into the Storm Tower miles away.
At night, the Storm Tower was still bustling with people coming and going. No one had noticed that a strand of deadly poison gas had entered through the door and climbed up the stairs. Second floor, third floor, fourth floor, fourth floor, and the west corridor of the fourth floor.
After swaying outside for a while, the poisonous gas seemed to have found a gap, which was a crack in the corner of the wall.
Inside the guest room, the poisonous gas got in, but didn't corrode anything.
It didn't make any sound either.
Silently, the poisonous gas floated into the bedroom, and a smaller strand of it merged into the tea on the table next to the bed.
"Out of ten times, I have already left a spiritual mark on the heart. Once the success rate reaches one hundred percent, I will be able to spread it to other places."
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen reached out his hand to pick up the teacup on the table.
Bringing the teacup to his mouth, Ye Chen frowned.
Pooh!
With a shake of his wrist, the tea splashed onto the ground, and a purple smoke rose up.
"Poison? When did I poison it?"
Ye Chen held his breath.
"No! It's a poisonous gas! "
Chin!
Raising his right index and middle fingers, Ye Chen pointed at the void in front of him, and a destructive sword intent shot out along with a sharp sword light.
Swoosh!
A purple mist exploded, and the poisonous gas spread out.
"Huh!"
With a cold snort, Ye Chen's forehead swelled, and a circle of sword intent halo spread out, isolating the poisonous gas outside and dispersing it quickly.
In the courtyard of the alley …
An astonished expression flickered on the ghost warrior's face.
"What's wrong?" The hemp-robed man asked.
"This kid is more troublesome than I thought. He even sensed my Heartless Poison Qi. Damn it! How could he be so cautious? Even when cultivating, he maintained his peak state. This sword intent can actually restrain my poisonous gas." The ghost warrior was extremely shocked. The ghost warrior was extremely shocked. As the head of the one hundred and eight ghost warriors of the Nine Ghost Cult, his reputation was not undeserved. Before he had reached the Sea of Souls Realm, the poison type Zhen Yuan he emitted could already corrode most of the Zhen Yuan, killing people without a trace. After becoming a Sea of Souls Realm expert, the power of his poison type Zhen Yuan would be several times stronger than before. Dealing with an Astral Reaching Realm expert would be a piece of cake for him, since it was not a direct confrontation, and the winner would not be decided by offense or defense. Regardless, Ye Chen's Zhen Yuan was indeed at the Astral Reaching Realm, while his Zhen Yuan was at the Sea of Souls Realm.
