199: Chapter 198 [The Most Ruthless Has Not Yet Made a Move] 199: Chapter 198 [The Most Ruthless Has Not Yet Made a Move] When Lin Duan used the Seven Stars Saber, Ye Tianchen felt very puzzled, because whether it was the probing at the beginning or the full-strength swing of the saber later, even though the attacks were very powerful, to the point where they almost seed to conjure substance out of void, Ye Tianchen did not sense any fluctuations of inner strength.
At first, he thought Lin Duan was holding back, but later he realized that wasn’t the case.
As Ye Tianchen had suspected, the reason Lin Duan didn’t have any inner strength fluctuations when he made his moves was that he had internal injuries and couldn’t muster any inner strength.
Otherwise, with the power of the Seven Stars Saber combined with strong inner strength, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t have found it so easy to withstand the attacks.
“It seems that this severed ridian of yours is connected to the heart.
It’s a miracle you’re still alive, indeed unable to use inner strength.
If you tried, I fear it would cost you your life!” Ye Tianchen nodded as he looked at the black line on Lin Duan’s right hand and spoke.
“When my master found in a mountain hollow, he used the ancient sect’s unique inner strength techniques to protect this severed ridian.
I was able to hold onto my life, but I can’t cultivate inner strength.
The cultivation of internal power in Chinese martial arts starts from the inside out.
With this severed ridian connected to the heart, the mont I cultivate inner strength, my heart would shatter and I would die!” Lin Duan said with a tinge of lancholy.
Ye Tianchen glanced at Lin Duan, understanding his mind.
As a disciple of an ancient martial sect, who wouldn’t want to beco stronger?
In the real world, ordinary people gradually beco enslaved and stop pursuing powerful strength to enhance themselves, while disciples of ancient martial sects and experts in the Superpower World truly understand that in their domain, without formidable personal strength, one would be at the rcy of others.
Laws and regulations are nonsense, the victor is king, and the vanquished doesn’t turn into an outlaw, but into the dead.
“There might still be hope for you.
If you can find a Fire Origin Fruit, it should be able to make up for your congenital deficiency!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
“Fire Origin Fruit?” Lin Duan asked, both excited and puzzled by Ye Tianchen’s words.
“Yes, it’s a type of spirit fruit that can strengthen a person’s body and make up for so innate deficiencies.
If you could find one, it could heal your hidden injury!” Ye Tianchen said seriously to Lin Duan.
“Then, where can I find a Fire Origin Fruit?” Lin Duan asked eagerly.
“This…
I read about it in ancient texts.
If there’s a chance, I’ll try to help you find it!” Ye Tianchen paused before replying to Lin Duan.
For a master of an ancient martial sect, for a superpower expert, the greatest sorrow is to forever lose the ability to improve one’s strength.
And improving strength is, of course, difficult.
As Ye Tianchen knew, in the apocalypse, the masters of ancient martial sects are known as martial artists.
Martial artists, like superpower users, have corresponding levels for rising in strength.
Superpower users are divided into: Monarch Level, King-level, Emperor-level, Divine Level, and Emperor Level, after Level 9.
Martial artists are divided into: Martial Spirit, Martial King, Martial Venerate, Martial Saint, and Martial Emperor.
Whether it’s the realm of superpower users or martial artists, in the end, Emperor Level is the strongest.
This is the principle of returning to the origin, where all laws converge.
No matter how one strengthens oneself, in the end, it all cos back to the natural forces.
Everything cos from the Five Elents, and to transcend them and escape the cycle of life and death, one must reach the level of an Emperor-level Expert.
Of course, regarding this information, Ye Tianchen naturally couldn’t tell Lin Duan, at least not now.
As a disciple of an ancient martial sect, he would probably not be able to fathom the information from the apocalypse.
He would only be told gradually in the future.
The apocalypse is an incredible world, with modern elents as well as strong fantastical and bloody thes.
It’s called the apocalypse for a reason, signaling the end of the world, a place where anything is possible.
The Fire Origin Fruit that Ye Tianchen spoke to Lin Duan about was not just to console him; it really existed.
However, the Fire Origin Fruit was to be found in the apocalypse, as a type of spirit fruit.
Many powerful experts would seek the Fire Origin Fruit for their relatives or children to consu, to temper their bodies and compensate for congenital defects, laying a solid foundation for future cultivation.
“Then, thank you, big brother!” Lin Duan could see that Ye Tianchen didn’t actually have the Fire Origin Fruit.
He might not have deceived him, but understood that the Fire Origin Fruit was surely hard to co by.
Ye Tianchen nodded and then changed the subject.
He knew what Lin Duan was thinking.
However, obtaining the Fire Origin Fruit was extrely difficult.
Whether the fruit existed in this day and age was questionable, and if it didn’t, then it could only be found in the apocalypse.
Not to ntion the impossibility of traveling back to the apocalypse, even if one could return, securing the Fire Origin Fruit would not be easy.
The Fire Origin Fruit was buried deep within the earth, hard to be found by ordinary people.
At this mont, in a secluded suburban area of the Capital City, Ouyang Feiyun and his muscular man in a black tank top stood respectfully on the spot.
Before them, a man with his back to them sat comfortably fishing by a small lake, his face unseen.
“Feiyun, I heard from Moushu that you haven’t been following orders well,” the man with his back turned to Ouyang Feiyun said with an even tone.
Ouyang Feiyun glanced at the man, swallowed his pride, and spoke respectfully, “Young Master, you don’t know how arrogant Ye Tianchen is.
He beat Xuanyuan Teng up in front of hundreds of people.
Not only did he show no respect, but even after Moushu disclosed your identity, he dared to openly challenge you.
He’s not taking us, the three young masters of Longteng University, seriously at all.
I want to get rid of him!”
“Ye Tianchen will surely die, but not by your hand.
If he dares to challenge us, that’s interesting.
It’s been a long ti since I’ve had so fun.
I’ll make sure to keep Ye Tianchen entertained!” The man with his back to Ouyang Feiyun said with a smile.
“Young Master, Xuanyuan Teng and his brother Xuanyuan Yu seem beyond help now.
I expect the Xuanyuan family will co to us for information.
What should we say?” Ouyang Feiyun paused, then deliberately spoke up.
The man with his back turned to Ouyang Feiyun was none other than the Young Master of Longteng University, leader of the trio known as the Three Young Masters of Longteng.
It was he who dispatched Moushu to stop Ouyang Feiyun; it was also he who instructed Moushu to relay a ssage to Ye Tianchen.
Even after learning that Ye Tianchen had challenged him, he remained nonchalant.
In one sentence, he showed that he didn’t regard Ye Tianchen as a threat.
Unlike Xuanyuan Teng and Ouyang Feiyun, who were brash and reckless, he would not take action lightly, but once he did, it was to claim the life of Ye Tianchen.
“Wasn’t it you who kicked Xuanyuan Teng to death?
I think you killed him simply to use the power of the Xuanyuan family to eradicate Ye Tianchen, releasing the pent-up fury in your heart.
Xuanyuan Teng was sacrificed just like that!” The Young Master of Longteng said with a cold smile.
Upon hearing the words of the Longteng Young Master, Ouyang Feiyun couldn’t help but be startled.
The Young Master was indeed extraordinary, hardly ever attending school, yet he had a thorough understanding of every situation.
Moreover, Ouyang Feiyun had only t the Young Master a few tis; the guy was quite mysterious.
All that was heard was that not only did the Young Master wield considerable family influence, but he was also a skillful expert himself.
He had once been ambushed by ten Ancient Martial experts, yet managed to kill all of them singlehandedly.
Although the news was tightly sealed, there was no imperable wall, and Ouyang Feiyun had sohow learned of it.
“Hehe, Young Master, I killed Xuanyuan Teng because that guy brought sha upon us, the Three Young Masters of Longteng.
He was obsessed with avenging his brother and reclaiming his own dignity, but regrettably, Ye Tianchen was too strong, and he lacked the ability.
I would guess he no longer wished to live, so I was actually helping him!” Ouyang Feiyun said after a pause, with a malicious grin.
At that mont, the Longteng Young Master, with his back still to Ouyang Feiyun, lifted up the fishing rod in his right hand.
The bait had been eaten, but no fish had been hooked.
After baiting the hook with fresh bait, he cast the line back into the pond.
“Young Master, what you an is…” Ouyang Feiyun saw that the Longteng Young Master remained silent, and proceeded to ask.
“A big fish like Ye Tianchen doesn’t co along every day.
It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t ‘play’ with him a bit.
I really want to see if he can handle the ga, especially when it may involve the lives of his friends and family!” said the Longteng Young Master, still with his casual deanor.
Ouyang Feiyun, after hearing the Longteng Young Master’s words, inhaled sharply.
He had rely wanted to kill Ye Tianchen, but hadn’t considered going as far as the Longteng Young Master, who not only wanted to kill Ye Tianchen but also his entire family.
The ruthlessness was beyond even what Ouyang Feiyun could muster.
“Then how shall we reply to the Xuanyuan family?”
“Xuanyuan Teng and Xuanyuan Yu were killed by Ye Tianchen, it’s none of our concern.
Let the Xuanyuan family deal with it themselves.
After all, the old fogey in their family wants to strut his stuff too.
If he helps us kill Ye Tianchen, why wouldn’t we be happy about it?”
“Thank you, Young Master!”
“Alright, you shouldn’t get involved with the Ye Tianchen issue for now, I’ll handle it.
I need you to take care of sothing else,” the Longteng Young Master commanded.
“Young Master, please instruct !”
“I’ve heard there’s so movent within the Young Master Party; go find out what’s up for .”
“Yes!”
Ouyang Feiyun and the burly man in a black tank top left the pond side, departing in a black sedan.
The Longteng Young Master had his back to them the entire ti, never once looking back.
Before long, Moushu appeared behind the Longteng Young Master, saying respectfully, “Young Master, Ouyang Feiyun has left.
Shall we send soone to kill Ye Tianchen now?”
“No need, our family and the Ye family are sworn enemies.
This ti, I plan to eliminate not just Ye Tianchen, but his entire family!” said the Longteng Young Master coldly.
“I understand!”
“Have soone tail Ouyang Feiyun, and kill him too if necessary.
I enjoy watching dramas unfold, like when the two great families—the Ouyang family and the Xuanyuan family—fly into a rage and join forces against the Ye family.
I’m curious to see how Ye Tianchen will manage the situation…” the Longteng Young Master said with a chilling laugh.
“Understood!”
Suddenly, the Longteng Young Master raised his hand, and in an instant, a fish was lifted out of the water.
After removing the hook, he tossed the fish aside, leaving it to suffocate on dry land…(to be continued.
