HISS!
Everyone drew in a sharp breath. That Ye Qingchen could survive Shui Changkun’s attack was a miracle in itself. But who could have imagined that he would not only withstand it head-on and erge unscathed but also injure Shui Changkun in the process? Could this truly be the combat power a Martial King Realm cultivator should possess?
anwhile, at Central Celestial Academy, thunderous cheers erupted.
"Junior Brother Qingchen, you’re amazing!" Zi Xing’s beautiful eyes filled with endless excitent as she murmured admiringly. I had a feeling Ye Qingchen would surprise , but I never expected it to be this astonishing!
"So strong, so tough! Junior Brother Ye Qingchen is a real man!" Li Chunsheng was completely numb, overwheld with excitent and envy.
Everyone was awed by the combat strength Ye Qingchen had displayed. Regardless of this battle’s outco, he was destined to beco a legend at Central Celestial Academy. He would be celebrated by generations of disciples, his story told like a myth to all who joined the academy in the future.
An Eighth-Layer Martial King Realm cultivator had actually gained the upper hand against a fifth-layer Martial Emperor Realm opponent who had mastered Attribute Energy. The thought was utterly shocking. Even if a Fourth-Layer Martial Emperor Realm cultivator had achieved this, it would have been enough to be sung of by all.
Compared to their excitent, Mu Changfeng’s was even more palpable. At his level, he had long since recognized that the technique Ye Qingchen had used to turn the tables was none other than Wood Attribute Energy. A Martial Artist who has mastered Attribute Energy while still in the Martial King Realm... This isn’t just a legend for an academy, but a legend for the entire Heaven Desolate Continent!
"Elder Yang, we absolutely cannot let anything happen to Ye Qingchen," Mu Changfeng declared, so overco with excitent that he was losing his rationality. "If you won’t act, I’ll risk offending the Ten Great Ancient Clans to save him myself!"
Mu Changfeng was unwilling to let such a suprely talented disciple die in the assessnt. He believed that, given the potential Ye Qingchen had just shown, he would surely beco a top-tier existence on the Heaven Desolate Continent in ti. Even among those at the very apex, none had mastered Attribute Energy while in the Martial King Realm.
Elder Yang simply shook his head. Not only did he not move to save Ye Qingchen, but he also restrained the eager Mu Changfeng. Elder Yang had an even clearer understanding of Ye Qingchen’s potential. Not only has he mastered Attribute Energy in the Martial King Realm, but he might also be a Martial Artist capable of controlling all Five Elents Energy simultaneously. The significance of that is in no way inferior to the forr!
But Elder Yang was still waiting, waiting for Ye Qingchen to reveal more of his potential. He had a nagging feeling that the young man could hold on a while longer.
Within the Jiang Ancient Clan’s area, the Saint Heir clenched his teeth, his voice turning almost hysterical as he stared at Ye Qingchen on the screen. "That bastard! He’s actually mastered Attribute Energy!"
The Saint Heir had also seen it. The combat power Ye Qingchen had just exhibited was definitely not sothing that could be achieved with the Attribute Energy of a treasured sword alone. That left only one conclusion: Ye Qingchen himself had mastered Attribute Energy, without any need for external aid. The Saint Heir couldn’t accept that Ye Qingchen’s talent was so much greater than his own.
Li Rui stood by, silent as a cicada in winter, knowing the Saint Heir was on the verge of exploding with rage.
Qin Yue watched Ye Qingchen on the light screen with a mixture of surprise and concern, but she remained silent. The Saint Heir has lost his reason. If I provoke him now, he might do sothing even more irrational that would be detrintal to Ye Qingchen.
Shui Changkun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Ye Qingchen in disbelief. "How... how did you do that!"
Ye Qingchen sneered but didn’t answer.
What I just did might seem miraculous, but it was actually sothing I slowly mastered during my recent training with Elder Yang. When I realized my movent technique wasn’t enough to evade Shui Changkun’s attacks, I decided to go all out. The first ten slashes of my Wind Blade Sword Technique were dispersed by the water pillars upon contact, but the Soul Power they carried remained. After passing through the three pillars, this Soul Power resonated with the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy. Then, using the conversion thod I learned from Elder Yang, I reford it into ten new streaks of Sword Qi imbued with Wood Attribute Energy. As for what ultimately shattered the water pillars, that was a different attack. While executing the Wind Blade Sword Technique, I had also unleashed a single strike from my Shadow-extinction Sword Technique. Three hidden streaks of Sword Qi perfectly intercepted the three water pillars. Although the pillars had appeared undamaged after being hit by the Wind Blade Sword Technique, they had already lost their resonance with nature’s spiritual energy. That’s why I was able to shatter them. However, even I didn’t anticipate that the resulting explosion would be so powerful. Fortunately, my body is fortified by the Mingyuan Refining Heart Array; otherwise, those three blasts would have been enough to grievously injure ! I don’t dare imagine what would have happened if I’d been hit directly by those water pillars. I might very well have perished completely.
Although Ye Qingchen appeared to have the upper hand after that exchange, he knew he had used nearly every trick up his sleeve, whereas Shui Changkun had yet to even summon his Martial Soul.
Shui Changkun obviously understood this as well. Though he hadn’t eliminated Ye Qingchen cleanly, he was still confident that with his full power, Ye Qingchen’s death was certain. Seeing Ye Qingchen ignore him now, Shui Changkun assud his opponent had grown arrogant after surviving one attack. Rage burned in his heart, and he bellowed, "Ye Qingchen, don’t get ahead of yourself! I will make you taste a fate worse than death."
As his words fell, the silhouette of his Weak Water Martial Soul gradually erged behind him. The Weak Water Martial Soul was a nine-star Martial Soul, and his talent was further proven by the fact he was the first to break through to the fifth layer of the Martial Emperor Realm within the Secret Realm. With the appearance of his Martial Soul, Shui Changkun’s entire aura underwent a world-shaking transformation.
Ye Qingchen watched him with a grave expression, feeling an almost insurmountable pressure. However, as soon as he activated his Dual Pupil Martial Soul, that feeling quickly dissipated.
At that mont, Shui Changkun’s confidence surged. He was ready to annihilate Ye Qingchen and avenge his earlier humiliation.
"Li Rui, have them all attack at once," the Saint Heir muttered, his voice low with resentnt. It was so faint that even Li Rui, standing beside him, failed to hear the command.
With bloodshot eyes, the Saint Heir spoke again, his voice clear this ti. "Have them attack together! Kill Ye Qingchen quickly!"
Only then did Li Rui react, hurriedly relaying the ssage into the Secret Realm.
The Saint Heir was now certain of one thing. Given the talent Ye Qingchen has shown, Central Celestial Academy and Elder Yang will surely do everything in their power to protect him. If we don’t kill him now, we might never get another chance!
