Ye Chen did not know why the school had fallen to such a state, but since he was already here, he would not let the school continue to fall. Even if he had to spend a lot of effort, it would be worth it. Of course, he would not give up on training either, since it was a world where only the powerful ones would be respected. Only with power could one have everything.
Walking with big steps, Ye Chen was followed by a group of disciples.
"Senior Brother Gao, who do you think he is?"
On the side, Li Cui passed on her Zhen yuan.
"If he is an enemy, then there is no need for him to be so polite to us. Therefore, we can basically rule him out as an enemy." Gao Zhiyuan shook his head. He did not know who Ye Chen was, so he could only analyze it based on his own guesses. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he thought, he could not understand why Ye Chen would say that he was from the school, because there was no such horrifying martial genius in the school.
He was already a martial genius. If he had enough resources, he thought that he could train to Late Sea of Souls Realm. But compared to Ye Chen, it was not even worth mentioning. The latter had been hiding for a long time, and he had not even noticed a single trace of him. Moreover, from his aura, he could vaguely feel that he would be able to stand at the top and look down on all the other mountains.
What kind of martial genius was this?
"He is so young!"
Wu Changxing had always been a straightforward person, so he spoke more directly. Although his voice was very soft, everyone heard it.
It would have been fine if Wu Changxing did not say it. Once he did, everyone finally noticed Ye Chen's appearance. Before, because Ye Chen's aura was way too powerful, they had not noticed it.
Ye Chen looked like he was only twenty-two years old, which meant that he had reached the Astral Reaching Realm at the most. Before reaching the Astral Reaching Realm, all the warriors' lifespan was about the same, around one hundred years old. The more powerful ones would reach over one hundred years old, which would be considered normal. If Ye Chen had reached the Astral Reaching Realm before twenty-two years old, he would not have looked like he was twenty-two years old.
If he had reached the Astral Reaching Realm at twenty-two years old, then the possibility of him reaching the Sea of Souls Realm would be zero. So, Ye Chen would have reached the Astral Reaching Realm a few years earlier, perhaps seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Becoming an Astral Reaching Realm warrior at the age of seventeen … This …"
Including Gao Zhiyuan, everyone was shocked. In the past one thousand years, no one had managed to reach the Astral Reaching Realm at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Nineteen was the youngest. But, this record might have been broken by Ye Chen.
(Note: Before the Astral Reaching Realm, one's lifespan would be one hundred years, and the growth of one's appearance would be normal. After the Astral Reaching Realm, one's lifespan would be two hundred years, and the growth of one's appearance would be half of the normal, so two years would be one year. After the Sea of Souls Realm, one's lifespan would be three hundred years, and the growth of one's appearance would be one third of the normal, so three years would be one year.)
But, what they did not know was that Ye Chen had actually reached the Astral Reaching Realm at the age of nineteen, which was a year and a half later than Xuanhou. However, because of the fast speed of reaching the Sea of Souls Realm, he looked like he was in his early twenties.
When Ye Chen and the group arrived at the middle of the mountain, all of the powerful warriors of the school had already gathered. There were three Late Sea of Souls Realm warriors, nine Mid Sea of Souls Realm warriors, and twenty Early Sea of Souls Realm warriors. There were thirty-two Sea of Souls Realm warriors in total. Adding Gao Zhiyuan, there were thirty-three of them. Among the rank 6 martial schools, the school with thirty-three Sea of Souls Realm warriors was already considered a powerful rank 6 martial school, which was more powerful than any of the rank 6 martial schools in the South Rudra Region.
"Leader, the person who has arrived is very young. He looks kind and peaceful, without any killing intent. But, we have never seen him before. I wonder if you have any idea?" Among the three Late Sea of Souls Realm warriors in the front, a grey-haired elder said to the man in his fifties.
The man in his fifties was the leader of the school, called Li Zhangfeng. He looked like a scholar, but there was a trace of tiredness in between his brows. After staying silent for a while, he said, "I have not seen this person before either. But, we should not underestimate him. Some people like to use peaceful means before resorting to violence.
We have to be careful. "" Leader, you are right. In the past, they had always fought their way into our school and humiliated us. But, in the recent years, they have become even more despicable. They have always been playing those dirty tricks, making fun of us. Today, I have decided that even if I die, I will fight with him. "
"Master Liu, do not be reckless. Wait until he gets to the top of the mountain, then we will know if he is a friend or a foe."
Li Zhangfeng stared at the path down the mountain, his nerves tensed up.
Behind him, all of the elders, attendants, and thousands of disciples were also watching without blinking. Some of them had sweat dripping down their foreheads.
After about ten minutes, Ye Chen arrived at the top of the mountain.
"So young?"
There were not many people in the school who could release their soul power out. Most of them could only release their mental power. But, once one reached the realm of Ye Chen, with his powerful sword intent, even if he were to stand there, his mental power would not be able to sense it.
Therefore, when Ye Chen walked into everyone's sight, a lot of people gasped.
"Perhaps it is the number one martial genius of the Extreme Heaven Martial School, Ling Huyi?"
Some of the disciples who had not seen the world before guessed.
"Leader!"
Getting up the mountain, Gao Zhiyuan and the rest did not follow behind Ye Chen anymore. Instead, they returned to the camp of the school, and all of them faced Ye Chen.
"It is good that you are back."
A Late Sea of Souls Realm warrior on the left of Li Zhangfeng looked at Gao Zhiyuan with relief. He could tell from Gao Zhiyuan's eyes that he had decided to stay, which was a great thing for the school.
"Leader, master, I have failed you guys."
Gao Zhiyuan lowered his head in shame.
"Zhiyuan, we are the ones who have failed you. You do not need to feel ashamed. Right now, we will put this matter aside for now." Li Zhangfeng smiled at Gao Zhiyuan before looking back at Ye Chen, "May I ask this young warrior, what is your purpose for coming to our school?"
Li Zhangfeng asked.
Ye Chen studied the school's formation and frowned slightly. Compared to a rank 6 martial school, there were indeed a lot of powerful warriors, but not many disciples. There were only a few thousand of them. Normal rank 6 martial schools would have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of disciples.
Ye Chen's frown made Li Zhangfeng misunderstand, thinking that he was being disdainful. So, his tone could not help but be more serious, "Although our school does not have many people, we are not a bunch of useless people. What is your purpose for coming to our school? If not, please leave the mountain. I will not see you out."
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen said with a serious expression, "To be honest, I am also a disciple of the Battle King!"
"What did you say?" Li Zhangfeng's eyes were wide open, shining brightly. Ye Chen said that he was the disciple of the Battle King? Was the Battle King still alive?
Not only Li Zhangfeng, but everyone in the school was shocked as well. The school was originally called the Immortal Sword Martial School, which was something that a lot of people knew. The Immortal Sword Martial School was created by the Battle King, which meant that he was the founder of the school or the school. Not to mention the school's pride, a lot of people in the Blood Sky Continent respected the Battle King a lot, especially his enemies, who were scared of him like a tiger.
"Young warrior, you said that you are the disciple of the Battle King. Could it be that the Battle King is still alive?" The Late Sea of Souls Realm warrior next to Li Zhangfeng looked at Ye Chen hopefully.
When the Battle King created the school, he was not even one hundred years old. Right now, he was at most seven hundred years old, so it was quite possible that he was still alive. If he was really still alive, then the school would be able to regain the name of the Immortal Sword Martial School, and the disciples would not have to suffer anymore. They would be able to tell the others that they were the disciples of the Immortal Sword Martial School, and the school would be able to return to its peak in a short period of time, becoming one of the rank 5 martial schools in the Blood Sky Land.
Ye Chen shook his head slightly, "No, the Battle King should be dead already."
Although Ye Chen also hoped that the Battle King was still alive, how could a living person seal his memory in a sword? Only a dead person would be able to do that. Their physical bodies were already dead, but the last bit of consciousness that was left was still attached to something, like the Yuan Emperor.
"When did he die?"
Li Zhangfeng was breathing heavily, his face pale.
"Maybe five hundred years ago." Ye Chen wasn't too sure, so he immediately said, "Senior Battle King's sword was obtained by me. His remaining consciousness told me a lot of things, which benefited me a lot. That's why I said that I could barely be considered senior Battle King's disciple."
"Do you have proof?"
"Of course I do."
Ye Chen took out the broken sword and said, "This sword belonged to the Battle King. He also said that if you don't believe me, you can let me tell you the name of an item – the Love Stone."
"Love Stone!"
Li Zhangfeng's voice was shaking. He took out a jade stone from his storage ring. Inside the jade stone, there was a pair of mandarin ducks. This jade stone was given to his wife by the Battle King, and his wife was the first generation leader of the Li family.
As for Li Zhangfeng, he was the descendant of the Battle King and his wife. This Love Stone had been passed down from generation to generation, just so that one day, he could reunite with the Battle King.
The Battle King's name was Li Zhangtian.
"It seems like you are the descendant of the Battle King."
Ye Chen sighed.
"Dead … He really is dead. How I wish that you did not come to the Zhang Tian Martial School." Li Zhangfeng's eyes were full of pain. Before Ye Chen's arrival, he had been hoping that the old ancestor would one day return to Blood Sky Continent and return to Eternal Sky Sect. As long as there was hope, there would be motivation to continue living. But now, that hope was shattered.
"The Battle King is really dead!"
Most of the people in the Zhang Tian Martial School looked sad.
Ye Chen was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly turned sharp as he looked at a huge mountain behind the buildings.
"Who are you? How dare you humiliate the Zhang Tian Martial School?"
Shoo!
A shadow flew over at an extreme speed. Before the person even arrived, he had already thrown out a sword attack at Ye Chen. That sword attack was as fast as lightning and as fast as the wind. It obviously contained the thunder profound and wind profound. The space around it had even created an intense pattern.
"Yeah! There is a half step king warrior in the Zhang Tian Martial School? I did not use my soul power to check it out. "
Ye Chen could tell his cultivation with one look.
"Great Master, don't!"
Li Zhangfeng and the rest were shocked. Although they knew that Ye Chen was at the half step king warrior level, the Great Master had been at the half step king warrior level for hundreds of years. His cultivation was extremely powerful, and his sword skills were amazing. He had the title of Sword Maniac.
After knowing Ye Chen's identity, they had already considered Ye Chen as one of their own. How could they let the Great Master kill Ye Chen with one sword attack?
"Don't worry."
Ye Chen faintly smiled as he reached out two fingers and pinched it between his fingers.
"What is he trying to do?"
Everyone frowned, thinking that Ye Chen was being too arrogant. But, they could not stop the Great Master either, since a half step king warrior was so powerful.
