Simple things could be done quickly, but complicated things would take more time. However, learning the gold profound made Ye Chen feel that time passed very fast. Every time he woke up from his state of learning, ten days or half a month would have passed in the outside world. In order to spend more time with his family and to digest what he had learned, Ye Chen would only go to the Extreme Void Sky once a week.
In the blink of an eye, four months had passed.
There were only three days left before the martial gathering would begin, and the venue had already been completed a month ago.
Right now, the Martial City in the center of the Heavy Mysterious Mountains was extremely lively. The flow of people was increasing every day, and everyone was talking about the upcoming martial gathering.
Inside the tea houses and restaurants, there were countless young warriors. Of course, most of them were the young warriors from the South Rudra Region. Even if they could not participate in the gathering, they still wanted to see some of the top martial geniuses from the other regions, such as the famous Edict Prince, Thunder Princess, and Astral Spirit son. As for the legendary warrior from the South Rudra Region, they wanted to see him even more. After so many years, the South Rudra Region finally had a chance to shine, and the one who had brought all of this was Ye Chen.
"Look! This is the martial genius who is only weaker than the Thunder Princess in the Thunder Region — Beast Prince Mo Xiang. I heard that he had fought against Ye Chen in the last tea gathering."
"Where? Let me see. "
Inside a tea house, the young warriors from the South Rudra Region were pointing at Beast Prince Mo Xiang excitedly. Among them were people from the Sky Cloud Martial School.
"This qi is so powerful! I can't even breathe in front of him." Lou Hanshan was shocked. He exchanged a look with Zhu Mei and Zhang Haoran. They couldn't help but think of Ye Chen. In the last tea gathering, Ye Chen had fought against this group of powerful warriors and became an undefeated legend.
Mo Xiang made a face and said with a frown, "These people are too weak. I really don't know how a genius like Ye Chen could appear in this kind of environment."
"There will always be one or two surprises. I wonder how Ye Chen will become in this tea gathering. I really want it to start soon."
The Black Sword Swordsman, who had lost to Ye Chen, was with Mo Xiang for some reason.
"After not seeing him for two years, he must have become even stronger. However, the other three must have improved a lot as well. Living in the same era as them is really sad."
"Yeah! After two years of cultivation, I have barely reached their level last year. Of course, if I were to really fight against them two years ago, I would still lose more than I win, let alone two years later. "
The population of the Martial City continued to increase, and the clamor reached the sky. One day later, Thunder Princess Jing Aoxuan and Edict Prince Li Xiaoyun arrived one after another. On the same evening, Astral Spirit son Chu Zhongtian also arrived at the overcrowded Martial City. At this point, three of the four most powerful warriors of the South Rudra Region had arrived.
"This host, Ye Chen, is too much. He still hasn't shown up until now." In the restaurant in the center of Martial City, Li Xiaoyun joked.
Chu Zhongtian crossed his arms in front of his chest. "There's no hurry. Just show up at the tea party."
"It seems like brother Chu is full of confidence!" Li Xiaoyun glanced at Chu Zhongtian and slightly squinted his eyes. The latter gave him a very dangerous feeling. Sitting there, he was like a wild beast taking a nap, emitting an extremely aggressive aura.
Chu Zhongtian snorted. Li Xiaoyun and Jing Aoxuan had also exceeded his expectations. One of them had an aura as deep as the starry sky, while the other had a powerful thunder intent. They were way more powerful than the last tea gathering.
Of course, the more powerful the opponent, the better. Otherwise, what would be the point of beating them?
Another day passed in a flash, and Ye Chen still hadn't shown up.
On the street, young figures could be seen everywhere. Lynch, Su Wen, and Yu Yue were among them.
"If I don't go out, I would really be a frog at the bottom of a well. Walking down this street, nine out of ten people would be more powerful than me."
As the leader of the North Snow Martial Academy, Su Wen seemed to have matured a lot. However, the young man's ambition had not decreased at all.
Yu Yue said, "Before, I thought that Ye Chen was purposely exaggerating the level of the tea gathering. But now, it seems like he was just being conservative. Lynch, I'm not trying to discourage you."
"Only with discourage will there be improvement. I don't mind." Lynch looked very calm.
Hearing him, Su Wen nodded silently. Speaking of which, Lynch's talent was not that high. At least in the Windy Nation, he was neither the first nor the second in terms of talent. However, his achievements were the most powerful after Ye Chen, which had a lot to do with his mentality.
On another street …
Liu Wuxiang looked at Zhuang Fei and Ji Xueyan, "What do you guys think?"
Ji Xueyan stayed silent for a while, then said slowly, "Very powerful. None of them are weak. If they come to the Windy Nation, besides the number one, everyone else would be ranked lower."
"Indeed very powerful!" Zhuang Fei had to admit it.
Liu Wuxiang forced a smile and said, "Walking with them, I feel like we are like defenseless kids, unable to fight back at all. Alright, let's just be spectators! This is the chance that Ye Chen has fought for for us, and it is also the chance for us to see the gap between us. "
It was not scary to see the gap, but it was scary not knowing where it was.
…
After three days, the tea gathering officially began.
Thousands of miles away from the Martial City, there was a flat area surrounded by mountains. The flat area occupied hundreds of miles, and the gravity was extremely strong. The plants were even taller than the trees in the sky. In the middle of the flat area, there was a huge manor built. The manor was surrounded by a hundred-meter-tall wall, with thousands of Clasping Yuan Realm warriors guarding outside, preventing people from sneaking in. Of course, this was just a formality. If someone really wanted to sneak in, with their Clasping Yuan Realm cultivation, they would not be able to stop him. However, it was basically impossible for someone to be blind. It should be known that once the tea gathering was held, the manor would become a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Without Sea of Souls Realm cultivation, no one would dare to barge in. Even Sea of Souls Realm warriors would have to take care of their own faces.
There were four entrances to the manor. Outside of each entrance, there was an attacking power testing pillar.
After careful consideration, Ye Chen had raised the requirement for entering the tea gathering a bit higher. One would have to get a score of seventy-nine before they could enter. The others were not allowed to stay in the flat area. As for standing on the tall mountains, it was up to them. Since the surrounding mountains were two to three hundred miles away from the manor, even Sea of Souls Realm warriors would not be able to see the battles inside clearly.
Boom!
Someone had already started the test.
The first person had successfully passed, getting a score of eighty.
The second person had been eliminated.
…
"Lynch, it's your turn!"
Su Wen and Yu Yue looked at Lynch.
Lynch sucked in a deep breath, pulled out his long blade, and walked up.
Boom!
The long blade fiercely hacked on the crystal of the pillar, causing it to flicker crazily. Eventually, he got a score of eighty.
"Pass!"
The supervising Astral Reaching Realm warrior was expressionless.
Huff!
Lynch let out a breath. In fact, he could not get eighty every time. When he was not in good condition, he might not even be able to get seventy-nine.
"Lynch, let's go to the tower over there."
Su Wen and Yu Yue also let out a breath of relief and walked toward the magnificent tower ten li away.
After half an hour, all the young warriors had finished their tests. Although the requirement had been raised, it had been two years, so the number of young warriors who had the qualifications to enter the tea gathering was much higher than the last one. There were more than four hundred and sixty people in total.
The inside of the manor was huge, and there were a lot of teahouses. In the middle of the teahouse was a three li long and wide battling platform.
Arriving at the teahouse with "South Rudra Region" written on it, Lynch saw a lot of top young warriors from the South Rudra Region. There were Li Daoxuan, Yan Chihuo, Tuo Baku, and more than twenty others. As for Sikong Sheng, he did not come.
"You are from the Windy Nation, right?"
Yan Chihuo was the first to notice Lynch. There was no other reason other than the fact that he was using a blade.
Lynch nodded.
"Indeed, there is one more in our South Rudra Region." Li Daoxuan chuckled.
Finding a seat and sitting down, Lynch started to observe the other teahouses. Every teahouse he sensed had a sky piercing qi, which was immeasurably deep. Among them, the Thunder Region, Floating Light Region, and Gold Sand Region had the strongest qi. The Thunder Region Teahouse seemed to be brewing an endless thunder storm, the Floating Light Region had a starry sky like depth, and the Gold Sand Region was covered in a blood red qi, looking like a demon.
Right then, Tuo Baku said, "Why is Ye Chen not here yet? We were waiting for him."
Li Daoxuan said, "Perhaps he was delayed by something. No rush."
It was early in the morning, and the mist in the air was drizzling on the ground under the effect of gravity.
Thousands of li away …
A wave of sword light was flying at ten times the speed of sound.
"I did not expect to be late. Fortunately, it is not that bad."
The human figure in the sword light was indeed Ye Chen. Normally, it would take him ten days to half a month to comprehend the gold profound, but this time, it took him twenty days. Fortunately, he had finally comprehended a little bit of the profound, which allowed him to increase his Gold Resonant Radiance Sword Art to sixty percent. Otherwise, it would be very hard for him to wake up from his meditation.
Ye Chen felt a bit lucky. It was his first time hosting a tea gathering in the South Rudra Region, so he did not want to make a fool of himself or give people the impression that he was acting like a big shot.
The Heavy Mysterious Mountains were still in front of him, and Ye Chen's speed increased again.
Just as some people in the manor started to express their dissatisfaction, a cold sword qi suddenly shrouded the area. This sword qi was different from the sword qi Ye Chen had used before. It was more aggressive, like a tornado that swept away the clouds. It appeared instantly, covering thousands of miles.
"It is Ye Chen! This sword qi is so scary!"
"He is so much more powerful than the last time."
As the crowd discussed, Jing Aoxuan, Li Xiaoyun, and Chu Zhongtian all changed their expressions. Last time, Ye Chen was very reserved. Without taking out his sword, it would be hard to know how powerful he was. But this time, Ye Chen seemed to be a completely different person. Without taking out his sword, he was already giving people an intense pressure. The countless qi in the air above the manor had all disappeared because of his arrival, unable to handle the pressure anymore.
Unbelievably powerful!
This was the consensus of the three!
