Seeing that Gao Changtian also thought highly of Ye Chen, a lot of people looked at him with admiration. But, this kind of thing was not going to happen. Ye Chen would only be appreciated if he had the power. The number one warrior just below the top five young warriors was not an easy title. As for Xie Baiting, no one doubted him even more. He had been the number one blade master in the continent for decades, and his power could only be described as immeasurable. Being in the top five of the master level warrior ranking would be a piece of cake for him. But, no one knew who else would be able to make it into the top five.
"Time is running out!"
Dugu Jue quietly tightened his fists. He had never wanted to increase his power as much as he did before. They were all young people, and since they were all young people, they would definitely be young and energetic. How could they be indifferent to fame and fortune? Those who could would have already lost their passion.
Whooo!
Taking a deep breath, Dugu Jue looked determined. He looked in the direction where Ye Chen was and said with a loud voice, "Ye Chen, I will challenge you here in one year. But of course, if you do not come, I will have nothing to say."
"Eh? Dugu Jue is going to challenge Ye Chen in one year."
"Judging from the current situation, although Dugu Jue and Ye Chen are not as powerful as the top five young warriors, they are getting closer. Not many people have been able to do this in the past few years, including Lan Xieqing and Lin Tian, who have the highest chance of becoming the top five young warriors. They are still far away from the top five young warriors."
"It seems like Dugu Jue is trying to use the one year deadline to pressure himself and force himself to improve even faster. If he could beat Ye Chen, then he would be even more powerful."
"The battle between the two top martial geniuses … It would not be that much weaker than the top five young warriors!"
"No, I think it might be even more interesting than the battle between the top five young warriors, because a lot of people would like to know how much they would have improved in one year. Don't forget that they had only reached the Sea of Souls Realm for one or two years, and they had already improved so much. If they were given another year, even if they were not as powerful as the top five young warriors, they would be very close. They might even be able to compete with the top five young warriors."
"Now that you mention it, it's possible."
Hearing that Dugu Jue wanted to challenge Ye Chen in a year's time, the crowd's blood that had just calmed down started to boil again. Soon after, countless pairs of eyes looked at Ye Chen to see how he would respond.
Ye Chen simply said, "I will come!"
Dugu Jue couldn't be underestimated. Some people were born to become stronger when encountering strong opponents. The strength of his opponent would only promote his improvement. Ye Chen really wanted to know if Dugu Jue could fight against him. If he could, then his future opponent would most likely be Dugu Jue.
"Ye Chen agreed. How decisive."
"Of course. They are both monstrous geniuses. If Ye Chen didn't agree, wouldn't he be afraid of Dugu Jue? He's afraid that Dugu Jue will surpass him."
Everyone discussed animatedly.
All of a sudden —
A person walked out of the crowd. It was indeed one of the previous master level blade artists, Shen Qianlang.
Lin Chaonan saw Shen Qianlang walk out, so he said to Xie Baiting, "It seems like Brother Shen could not wait anymore. This time's master level warrior ranking will be a great opportunity."
Xie Baiting said, "Alright. Compared to Bai Wuxue and Xia Houzun, I would like to know how powerful Xiao Chuhe is."
Just as Xie Baiting finished his sentence, Shen Qianlang flew to the center of the lake and said with a loud voice, "Xiao Chuhe, let's use this opportunity to battle it out!"
Two years ago, he had lost to Xiao Chuhe and lost the title of being one of the top three master level blade artists, while Xiao Chuhe had become the youngest master level blade artist. Today, he was not only going to take back the title that he once had, but also prove to the world that he, Shen Qianlang, would not fall just like this. Even if his opponent was one of the top five young warriors, so what?
Xiao Chuhe walked out step by step, "Alright, my blade intent is at its peak. Since you have come out to challenge me, I will give you a chance."
The battle between Bai Wuxue and Xia Houzun had already ignited Xiao Chuhe's battle intent and blade intent. Shen Qianlang's challenge was exactly what he wanted.
"Hm? These two want to battle as well? "Gao Changtian was interested. He knew that the top five young warriors were all important targets.
"Let's do it!"
Xiao Chuhe stood on top of the lake, holding the blade scabbard in his left hand.
Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo!
Shen Qianlang slowly breathed in and out, adjusting his breathing. Xiao Chuhe was definitely the fastest blade artist he had ever seen. He did not have the confidence to win, but he thought that if he did not challenge him now, he would not have the chance in the future. Therefore, he had to fight.
"Wave!"
Combined with the breathing technique, Shen Qianlang adjusted his mental state to its peak. His excitement was accompanied by calmness, and his calmness contained a destructive explosive power. He was like a boundless ocean, each wave taller than the last, instilling fear in people's hearts.
Chin!
Taking out his blade, the lake water under Shen Qianlang's feet suddenly expanded, turning into a huge wave that carried him toward Xiao Chuhe who was not far away. Soon, a blade light shone, and the entire Nine Dragon Lake turned violent, increasing the pressure on Xiao Chuhe.
"Break!"
The lake water under Xiao Chuhe's feet did not change at all. He groaned and took out his long blade as well. Holding it with both of his hands, he threw out a blade attack.
Swoosh!
The huge wave was sliced open, and Shen Qianlang's blade light was shattered.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Both of them were top blade artists. Although the battle scene was not as amazing as Bai Wuxue and Xia Houzun's, each blade attack was deadly, giving people a very thrilling feeling.
Shen Qianlang was indeed one of the top three blade artists. His blade aura was so powerful that it was almost unimaginable. Each blade attack was like a huge wave in the ocean. After throwing out dozens of blade attacks in a row, the sky had changed color, and the waves were endless. If normal blade artists were to battle with him, they would be completely suppressed in terms of aura alone, because Shen Qianlang, who was using all of his power, gave people the feeling that he was an ocean … an ocean that was unpredictable.
If Shen Qianlang was the ocean, then Xiao Chuhe would be a blade artist training in the ocean. The blade in his hand was not that fast, but it was not that amazing either. But, with one blade attack, any incoming wave would be sliced in half without any hesitation.
"Condensing the blade power without letting it out … Such a horrifying blade artist."
Gradually, Ye Chen could feel how horrifying Xiao Chuhe was. If Bai Wuxue was like the clouds, and Xia Houzun was like the thunder, then Xiao Chuhe was like the earth, carrying everything in its way. It was extremely heavy, and if one wanted to beat a blade artist like this, they would have to be way more powerful than him. Otherwise, there would be no way to beat him in one go.
"Ride the Wind and Wave!"
Shen Qianlang knew that it would not be good for him if it continued. So, he carried the wind and wave as his whole body shot into the air and threw out a blade attack.
This blade attack was thrown out with the momentum, and it was Shen Qianlang's most powerful blade attack.
"Ocean Splitting Blade!"
Xiao Chuhe was still standing in the area where he was standing. Facing Shen Qianlang's most powerful blade attack, he did not back out or try to avoid it. He threw out one blade attack after another, as if it were nothing more than waves. As long as it was a wave, there would be nothing that he could not cut in half.
Swoosh!
Shen Qianlang's most powerful blade attack disappeared completely. On the surface of the Nine Dragon Lake, a blade mark that extended all the way to the edge appeared. The blade mark was like a natural moat, instantly splitting the surface of the lake in half.
Pooh!
Puking out a mouthful of blood, Shen Qianlang was blown backward as a blade mark appeared on his chest. Although he had the protection of his armor, so that blade attack did not land on his body directly, the extremely dense blade power had already gone through the armor and wounded his internal organs. He did not feel that much pain, but instead a relief. Because from now on, he would not have to challenge Xiao Chuhe anymore, and he would not have to carry the pressure of losing to him anymore.
"What a powerful Ocean Splitting Blade attack! Shen Qianlang did not even have a chance to fight back."
Xie Baiting shook his head. This battle was not that exciting, and it was not even that intense. If one had to talk about intense battles, then Shen Qianlang would be the most intense. Unfortunately, his opponent was Xiao Chuhe, who was like an endless land. Shen Qianlang's blade art seemed to be very aggressive, but it would not be able to cover the whole land all of a sudden. From the beginning to the end, Shen Qianlang did not even have a chance to fight back. He was forced into Xiao Chuhe's rhythm. Seeing this kind of battle, even Xie Baiting could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. He thought that if they were at the same power level, he would only have thirty to forty percent chance of beating Xiao Chuhe.
"Ocean Splitting Blade Xiao Chuhe! Impressive!" Since Gao Changtian was able to become a master of the pavilion, he had been able to observe the power of all the master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors in the world. So, he was naturally not weak himself. As a master level Sea of Souls Realm warrior himself, he could tell that Shen Qianlang was very powerful. Although he might not be able to make it into the top twenty, he would definitely be able to make it into the top twenty-five. If it were someone else, then the battle would be even more intense. But, his opponent was Xiao Chuhe, and there was not even a single chance for him to fight back.
"Xiao Chuhe, you can also make it into the top fifteen of the master level warrior ranking!"
Gao Changtian announced.
Everyone did not have any doubts about what Gao Changtian had announced, so they started to discuss quietly.
"This battle is so normal, but why am I having goosebumps all over my body?"
"Me too!"
"Don't you guys feel it? Shen Qianlang is like a bug in a spider's web. No matter how hard he tries to struggle, he will still end up in the spider's mouth."
Someone expressed the most appropriate opinion.
After beating Shen Qianlang, Xiao Chuhe's expression did not change at all as he turned to look at Lu Shaoyou, who had a cold expression on his face. "Lu Shaoyou, in one year, I will challenge you."
"Sure!"
Lu Shaoyou said lightly.
"Another battle in one year!"
Everyone got excited. Adding Dugu Jue and Ye Chen, there would be two intense battles in one year. So, no matter what, they would have to come and watch the battles in one year.
After the battle between Shen Qianlang and Xiao Chuhe had ended, the Nine Dragon Lake quieted down.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen knew that there would not be any more battles, and even if there were, it would only be some small warriors.
More and more people started to leave the place. Just like that, the Nine Dragon Lake, which had been quite lively for the past couple of days, had finally come to an end. But, although it had ended, everything that had happened in the past couple of days would definitely be spread around the Sky Martial Region for a long time, becoming the topic of everyone's gossip.
Regarding the master level warrior ranking, it would naturally be spread around the world through everyone's mouths, bringing up a huge storm.
