"Advancing from late Sea of Soul realm to peak Sea of Soul realm doesn't require that many Zhen Yuan crystals. I only used five out of twenty."
Since Murong Qingcheng cultivated demonic power, Zhen Yuan crystals were useless to her. Therefore, the twenty Zhen Yuan crystals were all with Ye Chen.
Putting away the remaining Zhen Yuan crystals, Ye Chen thought for a bit and took out the Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit.
Good steel had to be used on the blade's edge. In other words, it had to be used at the most crucial moment. Now that he had used the fruit, Ye Chen's spirit body would reach the fourth step, which would be a prerequisite for him to enter the half-step King realm. If he didn't use it, who knew when he would become a half-step King.
Of course, it was indeed a bit of a waste to do so. After all, the Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit could upgrade a fourth step spirit body to the fifth step. Upgrading a third step to the fourth step would be too much of a waste. However, time waited for no man. He would not wait for his spirit body to reach the fourth step before using the fruit.
"After eating so many days of Fire Pear, my spirit body's strength has increased a bit. It should be close to the peak of the third step. I wonder to what extent would it reach after refining the fruit?"
Raising the Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit in his hand, Ye Chen examined it carefully, then swallowed it in one bite and chewed on it.
Hot!
The first thing he felt after swallowing the fruit was heat. It wasn't a heat that came from the outside, but from his heart, as if his body was about to be ignited.
"So hot!"
Ye Chen hurried to take off all his clothes and sat on the bed with his legs crossed and naked.
Unfortunately, taking off his clothes had no effect at all. Visible to the naked eye, a white mist rose from Ye Chen's tall and sturdy body, carrying a trace of red.
The red color increased, eventually replacing the white and turning into a red Qi flow. As the Qi flow spread out, the bed made of precious wood turned into ashes without a sound.
"Worthy of being the Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit!"
Ye Chen was afraid that the whole restaurant would be ignited, so he had to take out a tower shield from his storage ring and sit on top of it. With the tower shield, although the room was like a furnace, the red qi flow would not be too far away from Ye Chen.
Fifteen minutes passed.
Thirty minutes!
One hour!
Two hours!
During these two hours, Ye Chen felt as if he was being roasted on a rack of lava. His muscles, blood, meridians, and bones, there wasn't a single part of him that wasn't being tested. Sometimes, his entire body was burning, and the pain was unbearable. Other times, his bones were numb, as if there were countless ants gnawing on them. Other times, his entire body was convulsing, and he couldn't control himself. In the end, Ye Chen's eyes turned fiery red.
"It really f * cking hurts!"
Ye Chen believed that he did not lack willpower, but at this moment, he still had the urge to roar.
The pain would eventually pass. When his body could no longer feel any pain, an extremely comfortable and refreshing stream of air naturally spread out. Due to the huge contrast, Ye Chen finally couldn't help but moan out loud, and all the pores on his body expanded at the same time.
"First refining, then nourishing … So that's how it is."
Before, every inch of Ye Chen's flesh and bones was being refined, and some of the hard to remove impurities were burned clean. Then, the special property of the Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit slowly imprinted itself on Ye Chen's body, making Ye Chen's spirit body no longer just a normal body, but a higher level existence, as if it was on the verge of evolution.
If someone was here and had the ability to see through things, they would see that Ye Chen's flesh and blood were crystal clear like jade. His blood was like melted red crystals, and his bones were like white metal. From inside to outside, it was like a brand new body.
"Rank 4 spirit body, done!"
As the refreshing stream of air was used up, the fiery red light in Ye Chen's eyes gradually disappeared.
Crack!
Raising his head, Ye Chen tightened his fists. The powerful force made the space vibrate slightly, and all the furniture in the room fell down.
"Almost at the peak of rank 4, right? Just one more rank."
Rank 4 spirit body was the body of a king warrior, and the body's toughness had reached an inhuman level. Without exaggeration, even if Ye Chen did not rely on his protective Zhen yuan, an Astral Reaching Realm warrior would not be able to hurt him even a little bit. Even a Sea of Soul Realm warrior would not be able to wound him badly. Only a Sea of Soul Realm master warrior or a half step king warrior would be able to kill him when he did not defend.
Spirit body was spirit body, and it represented the toughness of the body. It did not have much to do with power, but it also had a little to do with power. Ye Chen could sense that his qi power had suddenly increased from four hundred thousand pounds to four hundred and fifty thousand pounds. It was an increase of fifty thousand pounds, and one should not underestimate it. The higher one's qi power went, the harder it would be to increase it.
"Rank 4 spirit body is done. There is no longer any obstacle on the path to half step king warrior."
Putting on clean clothes, Ye Chen walked out of the room.
…
There were a lot of restaurants on the Crystal Island, and they all had different styles.
On the second floor of an ancient looking restaurant, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng sat by the window.
"No other restaurant in the whole true spirit continent would have this many powerful warriors eating and drinking." Murong Qingcheng glanced around and said emotionally.
Ye Chen said, "Tomorrow is the first. There are obviously more people coming to the island."
"Yeah, I wonder what kind of missions there are."
No one would complain about having too many Zhen yuan crystals. Breaking through from peak level Late Sea of Soul Realm to half step king warrior would require a huge amount of Zhen yuan. Half step king warriors would need ten times more Zhen yuan. Since the ancient times, the reason why there were not many warriors who could beat Life and Death Realm warriors was because of the huge difference in the amount of Zhen yuan. Actually, a king warrior who had just reached Life and Death Realm would not be that powerful.
Tap! Tap!
Footsteps were heard from the stairs. Soon, a man and a woman walked up.
The man was very young, not more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old, not much older than Ye Chen. The woman was alluring and charming, with a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to release electricity. Just a casual glance from her would be able to make one's mind run wild and restless.
When her gaze landed on Ye Chen, her eyes involuntarily brightened. Ye Chen was simply too outstanding in this restaurant, like a crane among chickens. Seriously speaking, Ye Chen was not the kind of peerless beauty that made people unable to stare at him, but he was still very handsome. Especially the temperament of his body, it was steady like water, with a hidden sharpness that was extremely lethal to women.
However, when the woman's gaze landed on Murong Qingcheng, she couldn't help but snort. It had been a long time since Murong Qingcheng had worn a veil. Not to mention temperament, just her appearance alone could be compared to one in a hundred million. She carried a peerless beauty amidst her holiness, as well as a dignified demeanor that was hard to find for ordinary women.
Due to a woman's innate competitive mentality, the woman developed a subtle hostility toward Murong Qingcheng.
"I didn't expect to see such a beauty in this desolate area."
The young man who came up with the woman glanced at Murong Qingcheng a few more times. Comparing himself to his girlfriend, he found that she was at a disadvantage in every aspect.
"I am Dongfang Hao. Can you two share a table?"
The young man walked over gracefully and said with a faint smile.
Ye Chen raised his teacup and said, "Forget it. We're not used to sharing a table."
"Eh!" Dongfang Hao looked at Murong Qingcheng.
Murong Qingcheng didn't look at him.
"Brother Hao, let's sit here!"
The pretty girl saw that her boyfriend was a bit embarrassed, so she pointed at a table next to them and said.
"Alright."
Dongfang Hao sat down immediately.
After a while, the waiter served tea and fruits to the two of them.
Taking a sip of the tea, Dongfang Hao smiled and said, "Are you two here for a mission as well?"
"Not necessarily."
Ye Chen answered.
"Tomorrow is the first. As long as we finish the mission from the black water alliance, we will be able to exchange for endless Zhen yuan crystals. For us, it is a great temptation. Right now, I am at half step king warrior level, so I need way too much Zhen yuan to accumulate."
As he spoke, Dongfang Hao intentionally brought up his own realm.
Dongfang Hao was only thirty-four years old this year. Being able to reach half step king warrior level at that age was definitely a rare martial genius, and it was also something that he had always been proud of.
"But, you are not bad either. At this age, you are already at peak level Late Seas of Souls Realm. As long as you have enough luck, reaching half step king warrior level would not be a problem. If you don't mind, we can take on the mission together tomorrow. It would be safer with more people."
Dongfang Hao did not say it out loud, but what he really wanted to say was that once there was danger, what could a peak level Late Seas of Souls Realm warrior do? It would not be a big deal if he died, but it would be a real pity if a beautiful lady died.
"You two, my name is Meng Xiaoling. Brother Hao is right. The more people, the safer it would be. With brother Hao here, normal half step king warriors would not be able to take more than a couple of attacks from him."
Although Meng Xiaoling thought that Ye Chen was not bad, she was not the kind of person who was obsessed with him. Dongfang Hao was not only handsome, but also very powerful. Looking at the whole young generation, one might not be able to find another one like him. Compared to Dongfang Hao, Ye Chen was still a bit weaker. So, of course, she would speak up for him.
"I will think about your offer."
Ye Chen stood up, preparing to go downstairs to pay the bill.
Dongfang Hao stood up as well and said politely, "I do not know your names yet. I hope you don't mind telling me."
"Ye Chen, this is my girlfriend, Murong Qingcheng."
After that, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng went downstairs together.
"Hehe!"
Dongfang Hao smiled as he watched the two leave.
"Murong Qingcheng … She is indeed as beautiful as her name suggests. Why didn't I meet her earlier?"
Dongfang Hao thought to himself.
"What? Have you fallen for her?"
Meng Xiaoling saw Dongfang Hao staring at Murong Qingcheng's back until she left, so she said with jealousy.
"You and I are childhood sweethearts. You don't know me yet. I will never abandon you, and one day, I will become an emperor warrior as well."
Dongfang Hao said proudly.
"You will become an emperor warrior for sure."
Dongfang Hao's words made Meng Xiaoling's heart flutter. There was no woman who didn't want to see her man standing at the peak, leaving his name in the history books. Although she wanted to monopolize him, she understood that she couldn't keep a man like this under control. She didn't mind having a few more sisters.
"It won't be easy for you to get her."
Meng Xiaoling continued.
"What, you're not jealous anymore?"
Dongfang Hao looked at her with a faint smile.
"Can I stop you?"
Meng Xiaoling felt pity for Ye Chen when she said this. She knew better than anyone that Dongfang Hao was the kind of person who wouldn't stop until he reached his goal.
