Supreme Lord of Towers Chapter 56 - 54: Journey to the Canyon

On the White Jade Battle Platform, Ye Chen put away the copy of "Thunderstorm Swordsmanship" and the book introducing the Celestial Fla Academy, then stepped off the platform and returned to Ye Ming and Xiao Hui's side.

"Chen'er, why didn't you agree to follow that teacher? If you just go with her to the Celestial Fla Academy, Ye Lin'Er won't be able to do anything to you." Ye Ming couldn't help but sigh.

The Celestial Fla Academy, though extrely competitive, forbids students from killing each other within the academy, otherwise, they face severe punishnt.

Therefore, if Ye Chen followed Ouyang Xue to the Celestial Fla Academy, then even if Ye Lin'Er and Duanmu Jie wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be so easy.

But now, Ye Chen chose to stay, wasn't he just giving Ye Lin'Er and them an opportunity?

"Foster father, I have a way to heal your dantian. If I just leave like this, your dantian really won't be able to recover." Looking at Ye Ming's extrely pale face, Ye Chen felt as if his heart was being cut.

The reason he chose to stay was to go into the depths of the Canglan Mountain Range, into that canyon, to find the Purple Heart Fruit for Ye Ming and heal his damaged dantian.

If he left behind the foster father who had cared for him for so many years, then what would that make him but a beast?

"Chen'er, your heartfelt intention is enough. I'm just an old bone now. If I'm wasted, so be it. As long as you can grow up safely, it doesn't matter if I lose my cultivation." Ye Ming tightly hugged Ye Chen's shoulders, speaking with a face full of relief.

"Ye Chen, I didn't expect that you, a waste, would have a day to turn around. I underestimated you!" At this mont, an extrely piercing voice suddenly sounded in Ye Chen's ears.

The owner of this voice was none other than Duanmu Jie.

Sohow, he had already walked down from the high platform, looking at Ye Chen with eyes full of mockery as if looking at a clown.

"Ye Lin'Er, I have what I have today all thanks to you. If you hadn't given a chance to participate in the assessnt, I might not have been able to take first place." Yet, Ye Chen didn't even glance at Duanmu Jie but instead cast his eyes on Ye Lin'Er beside him, coldly smiling at her.

"Hmph! Ye Chen, go ahead and be smug. Do you really think that becoming a Celestial Fla Academy student ans I can't do anything to you? I have ways to make you disappear from this world." Ye Lin'Er said with a gloomy face, her eyes full of anger and humiliation.

Originally, she thought that even if this waste Ye Chen attended the recruitnt assessnt, he wouldn't accomplish anything, and might even beco the laughingstock of the entire Kunzhou Prefecture.

Thus, she generously allowed her father Ye Kun to give Ye Chen a spot to participate in the recruitnt assessnt yesterday.

But she didn't expect Ye Chen to actually take first place in the assessnt.

This was simply a slap to her face, making her feel incredibly humiliated.

"Junior Sister Lin'Er, let's go. He's just a dying person, not worth your anger. Soon, he'll understand how foolish it was to offend Duanmu Jie." Duanmu Jie glanced indifferently at Ye Chen, his eyes full of ridicule, as if looking at a bug ready to be crushed any mont.

"Ye Chen, cherish your ti left! Maybe one day you'll just unexpectedly die, huh?" Ye Lin'Er left Ye Chen with this cruel smile before walking off with Duanmu Jie.

"That vile woman's heart is extrely malicious, she could act against at any ti. No, I must quickly cultivate the Human Emperor Body to the First Level of the Foundation Establishnt Realm so I have at least a sliver of life-saving ability." A strong sense of crisis surged within Ye Chen's heart.

Yes!

He had defeated Xiao Lan and claid first place in this assessnt.

However, Xiao Lan's strength was at most equivalent to a Half-Step Gang Qi Realm expert, completely vulnerable against a Qi Dao Master.

And Ye Chen, even though he concealed his strength in the assessnt, had no confidence to defeat a Qi Dao Master if encountered.

Therefore, he had to quickly cultivate the Human Emperor Body to the First Level of the Foundation Establishnt Realm.

That way, even if a Qi Dao Master wanted to kill him, he would have confidence to counter them.

Before long, the recruitnt assessnt finally concluded.

Besides Ye Chen, nine others successfully passed the assessnt to beco students of the Celestial Fla Academy.

Among them were Xiao Lan and Ye Teng.

Originally, with Luo Yuan's talent, he was a sure candidate to beco a student of the Celestial Fla Academy.

Unfortunately, he had already died at Ye Chen's hands.

This made Patriarch Luo Tong of the Luo Family remain in a state of rage, wishing to crush Ye Chen imdiately.

However, Ye Chen was now favored by Ouyang Xue, a teacher at the Celestial Fla Academy, so even Luo Tong dared not act against him.

Otherwise, if caught by the Celestial Fla Academy, he would be dood.

As for the higher-ups of the Ye Family, they now felt a mix of emotions.

They never expected that Ye Chen, the scorned waste, actually possessed a fivefold Qi Sea Foundation and took first place in this assessnt.

However, so what if his achievents were great?

He offended the true prodigies, Ye Lin'Er and Duanmu Jie, and was destined for a miserable end.

After a cup of tea's ti, in Ye Ming's abode.

Cough cough cough.

Just as Ye Ming stepped into the room, he suddenly began coughing violently, spurting blood from his mouth.

"Husband, quickly take the elixir." Xiao Hui's face changed abruptly as she hurriedly poured a purple elixir from a jade bottle for Ye Ming to swallow.

This elixir was prepared by a Divine Soul Master from the Celestial Pill Pavilion for Ye Ming, to suppress his internal injuries.

However, it was extrely expensive, and even Ye Ming couldn't afford many of them.

This elixir was the last one; once used, there would be no more.

"It's useless." Ye Ming's expression was incredibly calm, as if he had already accepted reality.

He was very aware of his own injuries.

Yesterday, to stop Duanmu Jie from hurting Ye Chen, he recklessly activated all the Gang Qi in his dantian.

Though he succeeded in deterring Duanmu Jie, his already battered dantian further deteriorated, on the verge of collapse.

In a few days, his dantian would likely completely shatter.

Then, he would lose all his cultivation and beco no different from any ordinary person.

Even if he awakened his bloodline, without cultivation, it was impossible to wield any power.

"Foster father, stay still, let see." Seeing Ye Ming like this, Ye Chen felt a tightness in his heart, his eyes full of worry and guilt.

If not for saving him, his foster father wouldn't be in this situation.

Buzz.

In the next mont, the Divine Soul Puppet sitting at the depths of Ye Chen's Sea of Consciousness radiated brightly, releasing a trace of Divine Soul Power, enveloping Ye Ming's body.

Though Ye Chen's Divine Soul was still at the First Layer of the Soul Condensation Realm and couldn't exert any battle power.

He could use Divine Soul Power to probe certain things.

Such as the cultivator's ridians and dantian, he could view internally.

"Damn it, foster father's dantian has deteriorated to this extent." When Ye Chen activated his Divine Soul Power to examine Ye Ming's dantian, his mind resounded with a buzz.

He saw innurable cracks on Ye Ming's dantian, like cracked porcelain, ready to shatter at any mont.

It wouldn't be long before Ye Ming's dantian completely shattered.

This caused Ye Chen great heartache.

"No, I must depart imdiately for that canyon to collect the Purple Heart Fruit, or else it will really be too late." Ye Chen's expression was extrely grave as he anxiously decided in his heart.

Initially, he planned to wait until his strength was stronger before entering that canyon to collect the Purple Heart Fruit.

After all, a terrifying Tier Two Demon Beast, with strength comparable to a Gang Qi Realm Qi Dao Master, lurked in that canyon.

With Ye Chen's current strength, it was almost impossible to defeat it.

But now, to heal Ye Ming's dantian, Ye Chen could only risk it all.
