"Mental consciousness body?"
Ye Chen's eyebrows twitched. Most of the information that the Battle King had sent into his head was related to training, so Ye Chen knew what it was.
To be more specific, the mental consciousness body was something that came out of a mother body with a soul. It did not have a consciousness, and it was similar to a mental projection. However, in terms of complexity, it was much more powerful, and the power it could carry would be way more powerful as well.
Of course, the Battle King had not trained a mental consciousness body yet. Therefore, Ye Chen did not know much about it, but he had a general idea.
"Let's go up!"
Yan Fengfeng led the way up the mountain.
The path leading to the top of the Sky Martial Pavilion was a ten thousand meters long and one hundred meters wide staircase. After every one thousand steps, there would be a spacious staircase. The second he stepped on the staircase, he finally realized why no one had flown up directly. The whole mountain was covered with a layer of invisible seal, and there was no way to use the air as a stepping stone. All he could do was walk up step by step.
After a whole fifteen minutes, the four finally got to the top from the foot of the mountain.
"So many people!"
Stepping through the gates of the Sky Martial Pavilion, the four of them were greeted by a spacious and magnificent plaza. In the middle of the plaza, there was a hundred-foot tall screen wall. Surrounding the screen wall were hundreds of young men and women who were younger than forty years old.
"The pavilion only opens once a year, so it is normal for there to be a lot of people."
Yan Fengfeng had already gotten used to it.
The wall was very tall, and the four could see all the names on it at first glance.
"Dugu Jue, number one!"
"Dantai Mingyue, number two!"
"…"
"Yan Fengfeng, number five!"
Indeed, Yan Fengfeng was ranked number five. Being able to be ranked number five out of one thousand names, her potential was already shocking enough.
Yan Fengfeng explained, "Ranked number one and two are the top two martial geniuses of the Sky Martial Region. They might not be the most powerful among the young generation, but they are definitely the most talented. Look at the color of the names. White means within the third level, blue means to the fourth and fifth level, and red means to the sixth and seventh level. If one could make it through all seven levels, then the color would be purple. So far, only Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue had made it through the seventh level, and their names would be purple."
Hearing him, Ye Chen took a closer look at the wall. On the wall, there were two purple names, around fifty red names, and most of the blue ones. There were more than eight hundred blue ones, and the white ones had decreased drastically, only around one hundred, which was at the bottom of the list.
"If you want to leave your name on the wall, you would have to at least make it to the third level. The longer you can last in the third level, the higher the success rate would be."
As she said that, Yan Fengfeng sighed. She was the descendant of the phoenix, and her potential was unparalleled. Normally, it would not be hard for her to be ranked number one or two. But, the four people in front of her were just too freaky, especially Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue, who had made it through all seven levels directly.
"Head disciple, is it that hard?" Ling Tianhao asked.
Yan Fengfeng let out a breath and said, "The first level is a virtual consciousness body with similar power as you. The second level is two, the third level is four, and the fourth level is eight. With each level, the number will double, and the difficulty will also double. Do you think it is hard?"
"Then, the seventh level would have sixty-four?"
Ling Tianhao gasped, and even Miao Yin and Ye Chen looked serious.
Yan Fengfeng said with a low voice, "The wall tests battling techniques, mental power, and potential after being pushed to the extreme. Although cultivation and power have some effect, it would be suppressed to a very small extent. After all, the virtual consciousness body inside has the same power as you. If you are more powerful, it would be more powerful as well."
"I wonder what rank I would be able to get."
Before coming here, Ling Tianhao was full of confidence. But now, he was only left with pressure and battle intent.
Ye Chen understood what Yan Fengfeng meant. The wall tested one's potential, and it had nothing to do with cultivation or power. But of course, just like what Yan Fengfeng had said, although the latter two had been suppressed a lot, they still had some effect. For example, if one's power was higher, they would be able to sense more things, and their battling styles would be more unpredictable, which would increase their potential.
"Ye Chen, you are here as well!"
Right then, someone yelled out Ye Chen's name.
Ye Chen turned around and saw the Thunder Princess Jing Aoxuan and the Edict Prince Li Xiaoyun. The two had both reached the Sea of Souls Realm, just like him, at peak level Early Sea of Souls Realm.
A smile appeared on his face as Ye Chen said, "What a coincidence!"
Li Xiaoyun said, "It is not a coincidence at all."
Ye Chen chuckled. Li Xiaoyun was right; it was not a coincidence at all. The two reaching the Sea of Souls Realm did not surprise him too much, since they had reached the peak level Late Astral Reaching Realm before him. They could make the breakthrough at any time. Plus, the Sky Martial Pavilion only opened once a year, so it would not be a coincidence at all to run into them here.
"Where is Chu Zhongtian?"
The relationship between Ye Chen and Chu Zhongtian was just normal. In the beginning, there was still some conflict between them, but it had gotten better after a while. Now, it was just a competition between two people at the same level.
Jing Aoxuan shook her head, "He has the evil spirit body, so it would be extremely hard for him to make the breakthrough. Right now, he is still at the peak level Late Astral Reaching Realm."
"That is true!"
Ye Chen nodded. The evil spirit body trained the evil yuan, which was a couple of times more powerful than the zhen yuan. It would be extremely hard for him to make the breakthrough. But of course, once he made the breakthrough, his power would increase drastically as well. At the Astral Reaching Realm, he would be extremely powerful, and once he reached the Sea of Souls Realm, he would only be even more powerful. In other words, Chu Zhongtian was born with good luck, and he would only get more and more powerful. Perhaps once he reached the Sea of Souls Realm, Jing Aoxuan and Li Xiaoyun would not be able to compete with him anymore, unless they had some kind of great luck.
"This Wall of Fame is also a battlefield, a soundless battlefield!"
Li Xiaoyun suddenly sighed as he stared at the name on the wall in a daze.
Ye Chen was not familiar with these people's names, but Li Xiaoyun was very familiar with them. He saw the names of the top warriors of the young generation in the southern regions. Some of them were the hosts of the previous tea gatherings, but their rankings were very low, below five hundred. Only one of them could make it into the top one hundred.
The wall could test ten people at a time, and there was no time limit. Of course, although it was said to be unlimited, it was actually very limited. If one spent too much time in the beginning, their spirit, qi, and soul would not be able to keep up, which would shorten the time.
"Haha! This time, I finally made it into the top one thousand!"
An ordinary-looking teenager saw his name at the end of the wall after finishing his test, and his face was full of excitement.
Everyone's attention was drawn over. Eh? Ye Chen frowned. He saw two "familiar" people. They were the "East Demon" Xie Zhiqiu and "One Blade" Ling Luohan, who had caused a huge commotion in the tea gathering. These two had also entered the Sea of Souls Realm.
Leaving an empty spot, "One Blade" Ling Luohan walked up and began his test.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ling Luohan opened his eyes. At the same time, the last one hundred names on the wall moved back one by one, and Ling Luohan's name appeared at the ninety-ninth place.
"I have to say that Ling Luohan's potential is very high!"
Jing Aoxuan had lost to Ling Luohan before. Although Li Xiaoyun did not lose to Ling Luohan, he had to admit that he was not Ling Luohan's opponent in the tea gathering. As for now, he did not have the confidence to win for sure, but he did not think that he would lose for sure either.
"He has gone down the wrong path of the blade art. Wanting to correct it in a short period of time would be very hard." In Ye Chen's eyes, Ling Luohan's potential would not be that much weaker than Xie Zhiqiu's, and could even be on the same level. Unfortunately, in order to pursue the efficiency of his blade art, he had gone down the wrong path of killing with one blade attack. It was indeed an evil path that could increase his power quickly, but it would also leave behind a lot of problems, which would slow down his progress in the future.
"The East Demon Xie Zhiqiu has started his test!"
A skinny teenager said, "The East Demon Xie Zhiqiu is quite famous among the young generation of the Sky Martial Region. After reaching the Sea of Souls Realm, he already has the power to compete with most of the top young warriors. I wonder what his rank would be?"
"It should be very high. Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue had reached the Sea of Souls Realm last year. They were the top of the young generation back then. Although their power would not be able to reach the top of the young generation, their potential would be unbeatable. "
Potential and power were two different things. A high potential did not mean that one's current power was high, and a high power did not mean that one's potential was high. The former would still need some time to increase their power, while the latter would have enough time. But, the potential was obviously not there, and the former would eventually catch up.
"Kill!"
In that quiet world, Xie Zhiqiu had passed three levels in a row and made it to the fourth level. There were eight mental consciousness bodies in the fourth level, and each of them had the same power as him. The good thing was that the eight of them did not have perfect teamwork. In fact, if they did, then there would be no way for him to fight. Even Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue would not be able to make it.
In the fifth level, Xie Zhiqiu was wounded a little, and his real body outside of the wall let out a groan.
In the sixth level, Xie Zhiqiu was killed within a second.
"So powerful!"
The real body opened its eyes, and Xie Zhiqiu could feel that he had just suffered an internal injury that he had subconsciously caused.
Looking up at the ranking on the wall, a smile appeared on Xie Zhiqiu's face.
"Xie Zhiqiu, number twenty-two."
In the past, although he had some fame in the Sky Martial Region, it was only among the younger generation. He had not risen to the top of the younger generation. Although his current strength could not compete with the other famous youths, in terms of aptitude, he was ranked 22nd in the past ten years. This was a very high ranking, and he was very satisfied with it.
"Wow! He is actually ranked twenty-two! "
"Scary! Among all the people who participated this year, Xie Zhiqiu's potential could be ranked at least in the top three."
Some of the people around gasped. The higher the ranking, the more difficult it would be. At the same time, it also meant that he would be more powerful in battling above his realm. The East Demon Xie Zhiqiu was indeed worthy of the title.
"Interesting!"
Hai Wuya and Yan Fengfeng nodded secretly. Although Xie Zhiqiu's potential was not as good as theirs, it was only a reference. His future achievements might not be worse than theirs.
"Hehe!"
Xie Zhiqiu turned his head to look at Ye Chen and the rest. When his eyes met Ye Chen's, a cold light shone out of his eyes, as if he wanted to battle.
