It was June, the rainy season of the Windy Nation.
The sky was gray, and it was drizzling. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow over, and the raindrops would float in the air, forming beautiful arcs.
The peak of the Misty Mountain was covered in clouds and mist all year round. Only when the rainy season came would the mist dissipate a lot, showing its true face to the nature.
Sitting on a huge rock on the mountain peak, Ye Chen did not activate his protective Zhen yuan, and just let the rain fall on his body.
Since he was trying to understand the nature, it would be best for him to be in close contact with it.
The mountain peak was not flat. As the rain increased, some of the depressions had turned into puddles. The puddles were all over the place, big or small, deep or shallow. The raindrops fell into the puddles, bringing up circles of different sizes of ripples. Ye Chen stared at these ripples closely, sinking into the ethereal state.
Pitter-patter!
The ripples were born, expanded, disappeared …
Just like that!
After an unknown period of time, Ye Chen let out a deep breath and came out of the ethereal state.
"Nature is indeed mysterious. Even the most ordinary details can make people ponder deeply. However, when ordinary people see it, they can at most create some ordinary martial arts. Only warriors with high cultivation can create profound martial arts that far surpass their imagination."
In the past, he wouldn't have felt anything when he saw the rain. However, after creating the Gold Pattern, he began to dabble in the profound of water. In his eyes, the sky was like a supreme sword artist, and the rain was the trajectory of the sword. The ripples created by the raindrops falling into the puddles were the manifestation of the sword's might. Each raindrop was an attack, and thousands upon thousands of raindrops were thousands upon thousands of attacks.
Ye Chen was shocked.
His body floated in the air, Ye Chen took out a normal long sword and started to practice his sword art.
Every time he waved his sword, it would bring up a circle of transparent gold pattern.
It was the Gold Pattern.
It could be seen that even though the power of the Golden Ripple hadn't increased by much, it was much smoother and smoother when used.
…
The topic of geniuses never stopped.
In a certain restaurant in a certain city in the Tianwu Domain, a large number of peak cultivators gathered together. As they drank, they discussed. The scene was very lively.
"Have you heard? Recently, two new geniuses appeared in the Sky Martial Region. One is called Helian Wuhua, and the other is called Shangguan Fei."
"I've long heard about it! When the fourth floor of the Treasure Holy Pagoda opened, they also went in. At that time, they were unknown and hidden in the dark. Now that they have come out, it is obvious that they think that their strength is sufficient. "
If Ye Chen were here, he would definitely know who they were talking about, Helian Wuhua and Shangguan Fei. When they were attacking the fourth floor of the palace, there were dozens of top young geniuses that he did not know. Among them, there were three who were the strongest. Besides Situ Hao, the other two were obviously Helian Wuhua and Shangguan Fei.
"I've heard about it too. Both of them are amazing. Helian Wuhua had defeated the 69th ranked Master Fire Cloud, while Shangguan Fei had defeated the 63rd ranked Master Hei Shui. One of them used three attacks, and the other used four. Both of them are incredibly powerful."
"I cannot believe that the ranking is going to change again in less than a year. I think there will be a lot of young geniuses in this ranking."
"Of course. But, you guys still do not know about this. Half a month ago, there was another young warrior named Situ Hao who had challenged another master on the ranking. He had defeated his opponent with only one attack."
"Who did he defeat? One attack? That master must not have a high ranking, right? Otherwise, how could he have been defeated with only one attack? "
Someone asked.
"You are all ignorant. The master that Situ Hao had defeated was none other than Tu Yuan from the Shattering Sword Master."
"What? Tu Yuan from the Shattering Sword Master?"
Everyone was shocked.
Tu Yuan from the Shattering Sword Master was not a normal master. On the ranking, he was ranked thirty-three, which was fifteen ranks higher than Ye Chen. Situ Hao had defeated him with only one sword attack. That kind of power was unimaginable. It was ten times more shocking than Helian Wuhua and Shangguan Fei.
"Did you remember it right? How could he beat Tu Yuan with only one attack? "
"Why would I lie to you? I was there at the time. I saw him reach out his finger and the longsword on his back came out of its scabbard on its own, wounding Tu Yuan badly."
"Controlling the sword to attack the enemy … This is a long-lost sword art. I cannot believe Situ Hao had learned it."
Situ Hao's horrifying power had formed a deep impression in everyone's mind for the first time.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Rushed footsteps were heard from the stairs as a human figure walked up quickly.
"Hurry! Beiming Hui is challenging one of the top three master level blade artists, Lin Chaonan! What are you guys waiting for?"
That person said hurriedly.
"What? Beiming Hui is challenging Lin Chaonan?"
"Let's go!"
Who was Lin Chaonan? He was one of the top three blade artists, ranked nineteen on the ranking. His power was definitely at the same level as the top five young warriors. Beiming Hui had just become famous at the beginning of the year, and it had only been half a year since he had dared to challenge Lin Chaonan. It was definitely shocking news.
Without even taking the stairs, everyone flew out of the window. As they flew out of the restaurant, they saw a lot of human figures flying out of the city.
All of a sudden, all of the warriors in the city started to move.
Thirty miles outside of the city, there was a long river. A lot of warriors had already gathered by the riverside, creating a huge crowd.
"I wonder what Beiming Hui was thinking. Even if he had to pick someone, he should have picked a weaker one. Why did he have to pick Lin Chaonan?"
"I guess he was just too full of himself. He wanted to become famous overnight. Lin Chaonan was ranked nineteen after all. Beating him would be enough to prove that he was one of the top five young warriors. He would be able to beat Ye Chen and Dugu Jue. "
"You are right! But, I do not think he will win."
"Me too."
Lin Chaonan was way too important in everyone's mind. Not to mention Beiming Hui, even Ye Chen would not be able to win. In their opinion, among the top five young warriors, besides Bai Wuxue and Lu Shaoyou, the other three would only be around the same level as Lin Chaonan. Since the ranking was close, then the power gap would not be that big.
In the sky, two human figures were facing each other.
Lin Chaonan, who was carrying a long blade on his back, said coldly, "Beiming Hui, I admit that you are a top martial genius. But, it is still too early for you to challenge me."
Beiming Hui chuckled lightly, "Shen Qianlang had been beaten by Xiao Chuhe twice. This time, it will be your turn. But, I am a spear user, so I will not compete for the top three master level blade artists."
Lin Chaonan frowned, "Are you sure that you want to challenge me? I will not go easy on you. If I make a mistake, I might wound you badly."
He had decided to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, if everyone came to challenge him, he would be busy to death.
"Don't worry. Facing me, you will have to use all of your power."
After Beiming Hui had created his second movement, he had spent some time training it. But, he still needed to use it on his opponent. Otherwise, he would not be able to see the flaws. But, right now, he would not challenge Ye Chen. He needed another powerful opponent to train his second movement. It would not be good if it was too weak, and he would not be confident if it was too powerful. Therefore, he picked Lin Chaonan.
"Since you are this confident, then cut the crap and let's begin!"
Lin Chaonan did not take out his blade as he looked at Beiming Hui coldly.
"Not taking out your blade?"
A smile appeared on Beiming Hui's face as his long spear suddenly attacked out. It was like a silver flood dragon attacking toward Lin Chaonan.
"So fast!"
Lin Chaonan had miscalculated a bit. His body backed out quickly as he took out his long blade, blocking in front of the silver flood dragon's horn.
Boom!
The shockwave spread out, and Lin Chaonan looked a bit worse for wear.
"Let's use all of our power! Otherwise, I will not be interested in you at all. " Before, his opponent had underestimated him, so Beiming Hui could definitely beat him with one attack. But, he did not do so. He needed his opponent to use all of his power in order to test out the power of his second movement.
"As you wish."
Lin Chaonan looked a bit more serious. This Beiming Hui did not seem to be easy to deal with. He had underestimated him a bit.
"Moon Cut!"
The blade glowed with a bright moonlight. Lin Chaonan arched his body, and like a bouncing star, his speed was unimaginable. While he was in the air, he slashed down with his blade. The blade could not be seen at all, it was like a ray of moonlight.
"Not bad! Not bad!"
Beiming Hui nodded with satisfaction.
"Sky Bank!"
Without performing the second movement, Beiming Hui shook his right arm, and the long spear stabbed out at an extremely fast speed. Because of its extreme speed, his hand disappeared along with the long spear, as if it had disappeared into the surreal space.
Ting!
The invisible spear light landed on Lin Chaonan's blade light, blowing him backward.
"Lin Chaonan, the previous two attacks were just warm-up. This next attack will be my real power. Watch carefully."
His body jumped out as Beiming Hui performed his ace attack. The long spear disappeared again, shooting out five curved silver light beams. It was so beautiful that everyone watching could not help but moan.
Ting!
Lin Chaonan had only blocked out one of them, and the remaining four landed on his chest, stomach, right arm, and leg.
Pooh!
Puking out a mouthful of blood, the long blade in Lin Chaonan's hand went out of control. It spun in the air before finally stabbing into the wall of a mountain.
"Lin Chaonan lost!"
The result was so shocking that no one could believe their own eyes.
"He really lost! Since when did this Beiming Hui become this powerful? Even Lin Chaonan is not his opponent. Doesn't that mean that he is already one of the top five young warriors?"
"I thought that Ye Chen would be the one with the highest chance. I did not expect Beiming Hui to be one step ahead. This is really unexpected."
While everyone was discussing, Lin Chaonan stood on top of the mountain where the long blade was stabbed into. He looked at Beiming Hui in disbelief, his face blank.
Beiming Hui's voice was heard, "Very good! You are indeed one of the top three master level blade artists. You managed to block out one attack. It seems like it was the right choice to test my power on you."
"Test my power?"
Lin Chaonan was angry and bitter at the same time. Even he had not expected that he would lose to a young warrior, who had just become famous at the beginning of the year.
"Being able to be my test target, you should be proud enough."
Beiming Hui did not even look at Lin Chaonan's expression as he carried the long spear on his back and flew into the distance, soon disappearing into the horizon.
