"What? He could not even handle one attack?"
A lot of people had their mouths wide open, shocked beyond words.
Although they thought that Ye Chen had a higher chance of winning, they would never have thought that Shangguan Fei could not even handle one attack from Ye Chen. Most of them thought that even if Ye Chen were to win, it would not be easy, and would take dozens or even hundreds of attacks.
After all, Shangguan Fei's power was right there. He had beaten the Black Water Master, who was ranked 63rd in the master level warrior ranking, with only four attacks.
"Impressive!"
Everyone was completely convinced by Ye Chen. Just when they were wondering if Ye Chen could keep his position, Ye Chen had given them a definite answer.
"How could he improve this fast?"
The Ice Sword Master had also arrived. She had already prepared herself for Ye Chen to surpass her, since she was not a young person after all, and she had almost used up all of her potential. Her improvement in one year would not be able to compete with the young geniuses. Plus, Ye Chen was not a normal young martial genius, but a monster level martial genius. But, she would never have thought that Ye Chen would improve this fast. One year was not a long time for Sea of Souls Realm warriors, and it would be great if they could make some progress. But, one year for Ye Chen was equivalent to years for others, or even decades.
"Sword art genius!"
The Ice Sword Master mumbled to herself.
Li Daoxuan and the other two were just as shocked. They had not seen Ye Chen for a year or two, and they had all been busy training. Since they were martial geniuses from the South Rudra Region, they did not have much contact with the Sky Martial Region. They had always thought that the gap between master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors would not be that big. But now, it seemed like the gap between master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors was ten times bigger than they had imagined. Normal master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors would not be able to handle one attack from Ye Chen, and someone as powerful as him would not be able to handle one attack from Ye Chen. They could not imagine how the gap between master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors could be this big.
Actually, it was not their fault for underestimating the gap between master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors. Only by standing at the top would one be able to see further. Once they reached Ye Chen's realm, they would know that the gap between the cultivation was not that big, but the gap between martial arts and profound sense would be limitless. For normal master level warriors, once they reached Late Sea of Souls Realm, they would be able to master a couple of low rank profound sense martial arts and one mid rank profound sense martial art.
Although Ye Chen was not as powerful as them in terms of cultivation, his sword intent power was equivalent to peak level rank 5. If he combined his sword intent with his cultivation, Ye Chen would not be at a disadvantage when facing peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm master level warriors with peak level rank 4 will power. He might even be able to win.
Excluding cultivation and will power, Ye Chen's profound sense martial arts were even more impressive. Not to mention his Thunder Devour and Gold Fury, just his Gold Pattern alone would be twice as powerful as normal mid rank profound sense martial arts. It would be strange if Shangguan Fei could handle one attack from Ye Chen.
Boom!
Shangguan Fei crashed heavily into a small mountain beside the lake. His whole body sunk into the rock wall, creating a human-shaped hole. That intense sword qi spread out everywhere, cutting the mountain into pieces.
Puking out another mouthful of blood, Shangguan Fei fainted immediately. The young martial geniuses who were close to him hurried to get him out and move him to a nearby building to rest.
Helian Wuhua saw Shangguan Fei like this, so he looked at Ye Chen with a horrified expression. He was glad that Shangguan Fei had challenged Ye Chen first. Otherwise, he would be the one in trouble. Right now, not to mention challenging Ye Chen, he did not even have the courage to face Ye Chen.
Ye Chen glanced at Helian Wuhua. Before Shangguan Fei challenged him, he had been whispering with him, probably discussing who should challenge him first.
Feeling Ye Chen's intimidating gaze, Helian Wuhua hurried to turn his head away, avoiding Ye Chen's gaze. His palms were covered in sweat.
"Is Ye Chen getting more and more powerful?"
Today was the last day before the battle, and a lot of people had arrived. Yan Fengfeng, Hai Wuya, and the rest of the young warriors had all arrived.
Yan Fengfeng said, "I cannot win against him right now." One year ago, Yan Fengfeng thought that she could exchange hundreds of attacks with Ye Chen, and if she went back to her phoenix form, she would be able to beat him. But, she was just like the Godly Shark Princess — she did not like to be too high profile in front of humans. Only when something unavoidable happened would she use all of her power. A lot of people knew that Yan Fengfeng had been hiding her power, so they did not dare to mess with her too much.
Hai Wuya said, "His power right now should be at the first level, right?"
The young martial geniuses were divided into a couple of levels. The first level would be the top five young warriors, the second level would actually be people like Lin Tian, the third level would be people like Hai Wuya, and the fourth level would be some of the normal powerful young martial geniuses. As for the even more normal young martial geniuses, they would not even be in the top level. Although Shangguan Fei and Helian Wuhua were a lot more powerful than Lin Tian, they were only at the top of the second level. On the other hand, Situ Hao, Beiming Hui, and the rest of them were already close to the first level, or even already at the first level, including Yan Fengfeng.
"Alright! Beating you like this should be even more interesting!"
It was right then that a sharp voice spread out over the entire Nine Dragon Lake.
"Situ Hao!"
Everyone who was watching the battle looked over and saw Situ Hao flying out, his feet lightly touching the surface of the lake. There was a sword on his waist and another one on his back.
Ye Chen's expression did not change, "It seems like your defensive sword spell has improved again. Let's do it!"
Without even guessing, Ye Chen knew that since his opponent dared to stand out, he must have a lot of confidence. Most likely, he was going to use his defensive sword spell as his ace attack.
"Eh? Judging from Ye Chen's tone, it seems like the two have battled before?"
"I guess so. I wonder who won."
"It is hard to say. Situ Hao's defensive sword spell is too powerful. It is extremely fast, and its attacking power is very high as well. Facing this kind of sword spell, most of the martial arts would not be able to perform in time."
Tu Yuan from the Breaking Sword Martial School was a master level sword artist. A sword artist's attacking speed was always fast, and so was their reflexes. For Situ Hao to be able to beat his opponent with one sword attack, it was not hard to imagine how powerful his defensive sword spell was.
Therefore, besides a small portion of people who thought that Ye Chen would win for sure, most of them were just watching. Among them, there was even a small portion who thought that Situ Hao was going to win. The defensive sword spell was a long-lost sword spell, and it was indeed a powerful weapon.
"Don't worry, I will use it."
Situ Hao was not stupid enough to use his defensive sword spell to attack Ye Chen from a distance. If the distance was too far, his opponent would definitely have time to prepare. It would be like attacking his opponent's advantage with his own weakness, which was not a smart move. Of course, if it were Shangguan Fei or Helian Wuhua, Situ Hao would not be so scared. With his defensive sword spell, he would still be able to win easily.
Different opponents meant different strategies.
"Three Ultimate Sword!"
His body floated into the air as Situ Hao threw out three sword attacks in a row towards Ye Chen, who was on the mountain peak.
"Break!"
Ye Chen wanted to test out Situ Hao's defensive sword spell, but he knew that the latter would not dare to use it if he did not get close to him. He did not stay on the mountain peak, but flew towards the three sword qi. On the way, his body suddenly sped up. That sharp sword light was like a crescent moon, cutting the three sword qi in half. The remaining power was still there as it continued to attack towards Situ Hao.
"Arrogant."
A sneer flashed past his face as he took a deep breath. He held the longsword in his right hand and waved it hundreds of times in the air. Each time he threw out a sword attack, the sword qi would be extremely slow, as if it was frozen in the air, waiting for the other sword qi to arrive. Within a blink of an eye, hundreds of sword qi interweaved together. Under the push of the last huge sword qi, it was like a huge net, covering Ye Chen who was coming at him. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Sky Net Sword!
Besides the defensive sword spell, Situ Hao's most powerful sword attack was under the cover of the Sky Net Sword Art. Pulling one part of it would affect the whole thing. As long as one sword qi was broken, it would be surrounded by other sword qi. It would be like catching fish in a huge net, with no way to escape.
"Not a bad sword attack."
How could Ye Chen not see through the secret of this attack? If normal fast sword attacks had a wide attacking range, then the Sky Net Sword Art was definitely not as simple as that. People who could not see through this attack would think that they would be able to pass through as long as they could break the sword net. However, once they broke the net, it would cause the balance of the sword net to lose, which would lead to the other sword qi's attacks. It would be like hundreds of sword qi attacking from all directions.
However, it was a pity that Ye Chen's gold pattern was the bane of this attack.
Raising his gold sword high up, Ye Chen threw out a sword attack.
Pop!
The gold pattern spread out in a circular shape. Ye Chen was surrounded by the attack from all directions, and he was like the center of the pattern, the source of the wave.
Pap!
The sword net and the gold pattern clashed together, causing a huge explosion. The dense sword qi could not even get close to Ye Chen. Once it got close, it would be blown away by the waves of transparent gold pattern. If the sword net was a huge net, then the gold pattern would be a huge whale. A normal net would not be able to catch a whale that was the king of the ocean.
After breaking through two of Situ Hao's attacks in a row, Ye Chen was only one hundred meters away from his opponent.
"Defensive sword spell!"
One hundred meters was Situ Hao's attacking limit. He did not hesitate anymore as he performed a sword spell with his right hand. The longsword on his back automatically took out of its scabbard, bringing with it a sharp sword light as it attacked towards Ye Chen, who was not far away.
Shoo!
The longsword's flying speed was extremely fast; it had already surpassed the normal speed. It was like the sword had just been taken out of its scabbard when it arrived right next to Ye Chen.
Ting!
Ye Chen's expression did not change as he blocked out the longsword with his sword, bringing up a huge amount of sparks.
"Kill!"
Situ Hao's expression was cold as he performed a sword spell with his right hand. The longsword that had been thrown out suddenly started dancing in the air, attacking towards Ye Chen from another direction.
Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!
The flying sword's speed had been pushed to its peak. Even if it was blocked out by Ye Chen, it could still attack again without any time to stop.
"No wonder he was so confident. He had reached the level where he could move the sword with his mind."
The defensive sword spell was a long-lost sword spell, so it would be impossible to say that it was not powerful. The user of this spell only needed to move his mind, and the flying sword would be able to kill his enemies in the air. Since the flying sword was not an intelligent creature, it did not have any qi and blood. Therefore, it would not have to face the awkward situation of having to use up all of its power, which made it extremely hard to deal with.
Most importantly, every time the flying sword was blocked by Ye Chen, it would try its best to fly back and wait for the chance to attack again. Therefore, every time they clashed, it would only be a fake attack. As long as Ye Chen made a mistake, the flying sword would attack right in and turn from a fake attack into a killing attack.
"Huh, I do not believe that you would be able to maintain that flawless attack for a long time. Even if you have no flaws, I will still make sure that you do."
Situ Hao backed out a little. Once the defensive sword spell was performed, it would be necessary to increase the distance.
"Is that all you have?"
Ye Chen's voice was heard.
Hearing him, Situ Hao's expression changed as he said sarcastically, "You are just trying to be mysterious. Even if you have a powerful sword attack, so what? As long as it is not fast enough, you will not be able to do anything to me."
The biggest use of the defensive sword spell was to stop some of the powerful martial arts that were not fast enough from being performed.
