In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed, and there was only one week left until the Mu Ren Gang challenge.
During this time, Ye Chen practiced the horse stance for two hours every morning and night, and spent the rest of his time training his physical strength and martial arts.
Right now, he could already lift a three hundred pound rock with one arm, and with both arms, he could easily lift a thousand pound rock above his head.
Besides the improvement of his physical strength, Ye Chen found that he had enough physical strength, and his sword arts were much easier to perform. His speed and control had increased drastically, and he could easily split seven to eight falling leaves with a casual swing of his sword, pierce through a waist-thick tree, and leave a four inch deep mark on a huge rock.
"It's time to train my combat skills." Ye Chen felt that he had reached his limit, and there was no way he could improve even if he kept training. If he had the time, he might as well use it to increase his combat experience and improve his fighting skills. That way, he would be able to bring out his full potential.
However, it was not that easy to train in a real battle. He was still an outer disciple, and he could not leave the mountain to wander around the world, so there was no need to talk about life and death battles. Although the inner disciples were only one level higher than him, if they were to fight in a real battle, even if you were at the same level as them, you would still lose within two or three attacks. This was the difference between fighting and not.
Fortunately, it was not necessary to fight with humans to achieve the effect of a real battle. There were demonic beasts in this world, and they could train either actively or passively. When the demonic Qi inside their body reached a certain level, they would mutate and evolve.
For countless years, the ancient people had divided the demonic beasts into different levels. Rank 1 and 2 demonic beasts were equivalent to Mortal Realm warriors, Rank 3 and Rank 4 demonic beasts were equivalent to Condensing Reality Realm warriors, and Rank 5 and Rank 6 demonic beasts were equivalent to Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. Demonic beasts above Rank 6 were very rare, and could only be found deep in the mountains.
Fighting with demonic beasts was not any worse than fighting with humans. On the contrary, demonic beasts were usually more aggressive than humans. If a ferocious beast that had killed countless animals and humans appeared in front of you, you would only be able to use half of its power with just one look.
Therefore, Ye Chen decided to go to the Silent Hills to train, there were often low rank demonic beasts there.
Wearing the great steel sword on his left waist, Ye Chen tidied up his clothes and walked out of the yard.
On the way down the mountain, Ye Chen sighed in his heart as he watched the outer and inner disciples coming and going. No matter who it was, if they wanted to live a better life, they needed money. His Ye family had millions of assets, so he shouldn't be poor. Unfortunately, that was not the case. For example, the Ye family had a total of thousands of people. Six to seven hundred of them were businessmen, helping the family to manage the business. The remaining four to five hundred people focused on practicing martial arts and didn't make any money at all. However, if they wanted to protect their own assets, they had to have a strong martial force. This martial force also needed money to support it, and it would accumulate to an astonishing amount in a year. That was why even his father, the head of the Ye family, only had a few hundred thousand taels of silver. As his son, his monthly allowance was one hundred taels of silver. If there were other necessary expenses, he could claim them.
What could he do with one hundred taels of silver a month? The only thing he could do was eat well and dress well. There wasn't much of a difference in other areas. Using expensive medicine to train his body was not something he could enjoy. Only the core disciples of the family or the martial school could afford it.
Going down the mountain, Ye Chen found the right direction and sped up his pace.
In the afternoon, Ye Chen arrived at the outer area of the Silent Hills. Some rank 1 demonic beasts started to appear. This kind of dangerous place, normal mortal realm warriors wouldn't dare to enter. Even Ye Chen became more cautious. His hand was always on the hilt of his sword, ready to attack if there was any danger.
Along the way, Ye Chen didn't meet any high rank demonic beasts. Occasionally, a top rank 2 demonic beast appeared, but it was only a Red Smelting Bird, and it was badly injured. If it wasn't for the fact that he was flying in the sky, Ye Chen wouldn't mind fighting with it.
After walking for a while and killing a few demonic beasts, Ye Chen suddenly stopped and injected his Qi into his ears.
"There's the sound of fighting!"
The biggest difference between a warrior and a normal person was the use of Qi. A normal person's five senses had a limit, but a warrior could use Qi to enhance their five senses. Right now, with his Qi, Ye Chen could hear loud noises from a mile away, and he could also identify the source of the noises.
Following the sound, Ye Chen quietly rushed over.
In front of him was a dense forest, and he could vaguely see human figures moving about. Other than that, there was also a huge shadow and the roar of a beast.
When he was thirty steps away from the battlefield, Ye Chen took a deep breath and jumped onto a big tree, where he could see everything clearly from above.
In the middle of the forest, there was an open space with a radius of fifty feet. Right now, it was occupied by four or five teenagers with weapons in their hands, attacking a huge demonic beast. The demonic beast was ten feet long, shaped like a fierce tiger, with shiny black fur, a long red tongue dripping with purple liquid, and a mouth full of sawtooth teeth. Its claws were three feet long, sharp and curved.
It was a top rank 2 demonic beast, Poisonous Sawed-Tooth Beast. It was as powerful as a Mortal Realm Stage 10 warrior. Its body carried a deadly poison that would cause the skin of the victim to ulcerate. The victim would need an antidote, otherwise, once the poison reached the heart, even a Condensing Reality Realm warrior would not be able to save them.
After observing for a while, Ye Chen noticed the golden rings on their sleeves, and the name of an unranked martial school popped up in his mind.
The Golden Light Martial School, a martial school close to the Sky Cloud Martial School. The leader of the school, Li Yu, was a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, and was an expert in the Golden Rings. He used to be an outer disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School, and later traveled to other countries besides the Windy Nation. When he came back, he founded the Golden Light Martial School, and now had five hundred disciples.
The five people attacking the Poisonous Sawed-Tooth Beast were not very powerful, but their teamwork was quite good. It seemed like they had been working together for a long time.
A few sword lights landed on the Poisonous Sawed-Tooth Beast. The one who attacked was a young girl in a red dress. She was wielding a thin sword, and she seemed to be at the Mortal Realm Stage 5. Beside her were two twin brothers who wielded blades. They were tall and muscular, and they would yell at the beast from time to time to suppress it, using their physical strength to stop it from moving forward.
Although the three of them were working hard, they were not the main force, but the other two.
One of them was a young man in a black dress. His weapon was the Azure Dragon Halberd, which was two meters long and looked quite heavy. Every time the Poisonous Sawed-Tooth Beast was about to threaten the others, it would be pushed back by him, and he would take the opportunity to leave a bloody mark on his opponent's body.
The one that caught Ye Chen's attention the most was the young man in blue. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he had a flute on his waist. He was the most powerful one without a weapon. Every time he threw out a palm strike, it would bring up a sharp black wind, which pushed the Poisonous Sawed-Tooth Beast back.
If Ye Chen's guess was right, the young man in blue was a Mortal Realm Stage 9 warrior, and he was already able to mix his Qi into the wind generated by his palm, and attack people from a distance. But of course, the power was much weaker than Zhen Qi, otherwise the poisonous saw-tooth beast would have been killed already.
Beasts had always been powerful, but they would eventually run out of energy.
Right now, the wounded Poisonous Sawed-Tooth Beast was exhausted. The poisonous smoke that it tried to breathe out was pushed away by the young man in blue's palm strike. It turned around and tried to run away.
"Where do you think you're going?!" The young man in blue's eyes were like lightning, and his palm strike landed on the back of the Poisonous Sawed-Tooth Beast.
Roar!
The Poisonous Sawed-Tooth Beast let out a cry, and its huge body flew out like a broken sack, its internal organs all shattered.
"Brother Liu is so powerful!" The girl in red wiped her sweat as she put her sword back into its scabbard. She turned around and looked at the young man in blue with admiration.
The young man in blue said gently: "What's so powerful about me? You guys will catch up in a few years."
The young man in black with the Azure Dragon Halberd said: "I am now at the Peak of Mortal Realm Stage 7, I will be able to catch up to you in a few months."
"That's true." The young man in blue did not seem to care.
The girl in red curled her lips, as if she did not like the young man in black's arrogance.
