After the tea gathering, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng returned to the restaurant.
Inside the restaurant's lobby, the two were enjoying their morning tea.
Ye Chen saw that Murong Qingcheng was absent-minded and kept looking in the northwest direction, so he could not help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Murong Qingcheng brushed her hair and shook her head, "Nothing."
Ye Chen knew that she did not want to talk about it, so there should be some hidden trouble. Moreover, he had noticed that ever since they met in the Extreme Yin Place, he had noticed that Murong Qingcheng had changed a lot. That kind of change could not be described with words, as if even her essence had changed.
…
Martial tea gathering! Ye Chen! Master level sword intent!
On this day, the Thunder city was quite popular. Whether it was in restaurants, tea houses, streets, or alleys, these three keywords could be heard everywhere.
The most common scene was …
"Did you know that this year's tea gathering had a huge upset? An unknown young sword artist had beaten the Astral Spirit son Chu Zhongtian and tied with the Edict Prince Li Xiaoyun, becoming the host of the next tea gathering. His name is Ye Chen."
"Of course I know! How could I not know? This news has spread like wildfire. Even that little brat from the Wang family knows that Ye Chen is very powerful, and wants to take him as his teacher and learn sword arts."
"This is nothing. I heard that a rank 5 martial school has come to recruit Ye Chen."
"Rank 5 martial school? Oh my, that is a martial school with a Life and Death Realm warrior! Ye Chen should be able to join, right? "
Within one day, the people who had not heard of Ye Chen in Thunder city were only ignorant kids. Within three days, every city within ten thousand miles of Thunder city knew about the result of this tea gathering. If nothing unexpected happened, Ye Chen's name would spread throughout the entire Thunder region in one month, and within three months, Ye Chen's name would spread throughout the entire Southern region.
He was only in his twenties, but he had already attained the Master level sword intent. It was impossible for him not to cause a sensation!
In the past couple of days, there had indeed been some masters from rank 5 martial institutions who had come looking for Ye Chen, wanting him to join their martial institutions. They had also promised him the head disciple status, which would give him as many profound sense martial arts as he wanted, and the chance to receive guidance from Life and Death Realm warriors from time to time. Of course, the condition was that he had to be loyal enough.
Ye Chen politely declined. What a joke! If he chose to join these fifth grade sects, he might as well join the Dragon God Celestial Palace. After all, the palace master was one of the peak Kings under Xu King. Not to mention, Xu Jing was still in the palace.
However, these people did not give up. They were prepared to return to the sect and discuss the plan to recruit Ye Chen. If necessary, they could ask the Patriarch to help. They believed that the Patriarch would not give up on such a terrifying genius. Ye Chen was someone who had raised his sword will to Master level in his twenties. If they missed this opportunity, they might not get another one.
…
The Splendid Garden occupied an area of 800 hectares and had many gardens.
The Mountain and Water Garden was filled with lakes and mountains.
In the middle of the lake, there was a small island, on which was an elegant pavilion. On the highest floor of the pavilion, Ye Chen and the other three were drinking tea. Besides the pillars around, there were no walls blocking their view. Therefore, they could easily see the beautiful scenery outside.
"Great place!" Ye Chen could tell that the Mountain and Water Garden had a profound theme. In this place, it would be easy to calm down and enjoy the tea.
Li Xiaoyun laughed and said, "Ye Chen, these days, there should be a lot of rank 5 martial institutions trying to recruit you, right? No wonder. You are not a disciple of a rank 5 martial institution, and you have such a great talent. If you are recruited into the martial institutions, you will definitely be the pillar of the martial institutions in the future. You might even be able to bring the martial institutions to another peak."
Among the four present, besides Ye Chen, the other three all had Life and Death Realm warriors behind them. Therefore, they did not need to worry about these things.
Ye Chen smiled. When those rank 5 martial institutions found out that someone from the Sky Cloud Martial School had been taken in as a disciple by the Dragon King, they would definitely not disturb him. After all, few people would believe that the Dragon King would give up on a genius like him, unless he had some ulterior motives.
The four of them were the top martial geniuses of the southern regions, and had the hope of entering the Life and Death Realm in the future. Therefore, they did not dare to look down on each other. Before they spoke, they would have to think twice.
Jing Aoxuan glanced at Chu Zhongtian, who had a deep look in his eyes, and said, "The True Spirit Continent is facing a peak era every hundred thousand years or even longer. We are indeed unparalleled in the southern regions, standing at the peak. But, we cannot be short-sighted and be satisfied with the current situation. It would be best if we could communicate with each other."
Li Xiaoyun nodded, "Princess Jing is right. There are more martial geniuses out there than we can imagine. Inside the Southern region, we are competitors. Once we are out there, we will be allies as well. It would be unreasonable for us to not communicate with each other."
This time, even Chu Zhongtian did not refute. He knew that Jing Aoxuan and Li Xiaoyun were speaking the truth. He was arrogant, but not to the extent of being the number one in the world. In the peak era, he was not the only one with the Evil Spirit Body. There were even more abnormal talents than the Evil Spirit Body.
"Ye Chen, I might not be able to help you in other areas, but in terms of thunder mentality, I believe that no one in the young generation of the southern regions can compare to me."
As the host, Jing Aoxuan knew that she had to take the lead. Otherwise, the other three would not volunteer and reveal their experiences.
After saying that, she stood up and lightly touched the floor. Her body flew out of the pavilion and landed on the misty surface of the lake. It was a picturesque scene.
Reaching out her jade-like right hand, Jing Aoxuan slowly activated her Zhen yuan and thunder mentality, giving people a clear feeling of being able to see everything clearly.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, staring at Jing Aoxuan's right hand without blinking.
Swoosh!
Lightning bolts shot out from Jing Aoxuan's right hand.
"What a profound thunder mentality!" It was not hard for Ye Chen to tell that she was imagining the birth and death of the thunder. Only she would be able to express the thunder mentality in a more vivid way, which would spark up a lot of inspiration in his mind. He would be able to comprehend it at any moment.
Retracting her hand, Jing Aoxuan floated into the pavilion and sat down gracefully.
"Haha, I can't take advantage of you. My right hand has the star power sealed, which might be helpful to you in the future."
Li Xiaoyun laughed as he flew out of the pavilion as well.
Hearing him, not only Jing Aoxuan and Chu Zhongtian, even Ye Chen's eyes brightened up.
The starry sky was the most mysterious place in the universe. The third of the three Heavens, the Top Sky, was a 'starry sky'. Even Life and Death Realm warriors needed to learn the profound of the starry sky, not to mention them. Only when humans reached the starry sky would they realize how small they were.
The star power was very mysterious, seeming to have some kind of weak connection with the stars in the sky. With this weak connection, Li Xiaoyun was able to learn the starry sky mentality and become the number one warrior among the young generation in the southern regions, and now one of the top four.
"The stars are the best place to learn the profound!"
Jing Aoxuan had the most enlightenment, since her thunder mentality was only one step away from the profound. So, she knew how the starry sky could help her train.
"What do you think? This is my ace!" Li Xiaoyun flew back with a bright face.
Ye Chen laughed and said, "Since you two are so generous, I can't be stingy either. I will perform a sword art for you guys to see. This sword art is not just a simple sword art, but my personal experience in sword arts. I think it will not disappoint you guys."
"Oh! Let's wait and see! " Jing Aoxuan was curious as to what kind of sword art Ye Chen was going to perform. But, judging from Ye Chen's personality, he would not use something simple to fool them. There must be something special about it. Since many daos were related to martial arts, including sword arts, they were not afraid that they could not see anything.
On the sparkling lake surface, Ye Chen in his blue robes drifted with the waves.
Taking a deep breath, he slightly closed his eyes. The second he opened them, he moved his right hand and took out the Destruction sword. Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
The sword light spread out, and the sword qi was extremely sharp.
A wave of murderous aura filled the air.
This was a killing sword art that pointed directly to the source of killing. In this sword art, you could see the purest meaning of killing. It gave up on impulsiveness, and all that was left was killing. Killing was one of the sources of human evolution. If there was conflict, there would be killing. If there was a martial world, then there would be killing. It was something that existed all the time. Therefore, fighting techniques were included in it as well.
"Ye Chen sure is generous!"
Li Xiaoyun mumbled.
None of them were idiots. They were all top geniuses. How could they not know that Ye Chen was indirectly revealing the source of his techniques? Without a doubt, if one knew how to kill, then one would know how to fight. This kind of fighting technique would not have any detours, nor would it have any bad habits. It was just the simplest way of fighting.
After finishing the sword art, Ye Chen returned to the pavilion.
"Everyone, how was it?"
Jing Aoxuan laughed, "It is only a sword art, but it has already let me know what I am lacking in in battling, and what I do not need. Amazing!"
"Ye Chen, you're my friend for sure." Li Xiaoyun knew that Ye Chen could have described the fighting techniques from other simple aspects, but he just had to reveal the source of his techniques, allowing them to have a deeper understanding. Moreover, this understanding was not just a short period of time, but a long period of time. After every battle, they would be able to digest a bit of it, and the importance of it was self-evident.
When the three's gazes fell on Chu Zhongtian's face, Chu Zhongtian curled his lips. He had to admit that he had also gained a lot of experience from this killing sword art. He also knew where many of his problems were. He had always thought that his astral essence was strong enough, and that he was at the peak in all aspects. Therefore, he had neglected his techniques. Now, he understood that in fact, qualities existed for the sake of techniques. Of course, techniques also existed for the sake of one's self.
"I don't have anything else but astral essence threads!"
After saying that, Chu Zhongtian flew out of the pavilion.
Li Xiaoyun said meaningfully, "Astral essence threads, this is his ace in the hole."
Zhen Yuan and astral essence were both energies, and energies were not rigid or unchanging. Among everyone here, only Chu Zhongtian could turn his astral essence into threads, which would increase his attacking power. From the tea gathering, it could be seen that Chu Zhongtian's achievement in astral essence threads was still not high. Otherwise, the result would be uncertain. Now that he had revealed this ability, it could be seen that he was an honest person.
Si si si si si …
Dark red threads of qi rose from Chu Zhongtian's body. He punched out, and everything in front of him turned into nothingness, as if it had been sliced by countless threads.
Because Chu Zhongtian had intentionally slowed down his speed, the three of them could clearly see how he had turned his astral essence into threads of energy, and how those threads of energy had exploded out. This speed had been slowed down by a hundred times.
Swish!
Returning to the pavilion, Chu Zhongtian said to Ye Chen, "I don't want to take advantage of you. This astral essence threads is my way of repaying you."
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled.
In the northwest horizon, a deep black space crack had appeared out of nowhere. The two ends of the space crack were sharp, and the middle was thick. It looked like an open black eye, and there was nothing but chaos inside. At the same time, the flow of heaven and earth's Yuan Qi increased, rushing towards that direction.
"En!"
The four were extremely sensitive to heaven and earth's Yuan Qi, so they immediately discovered the abnormality. Their gazes passed through the countless buildings, landing on that black crack in the distance.
