Supreme Sword God

Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Getting Stronger and Harder—Miss Qu, Want to Feel?

Ye Chen’s sword slashed the Thorn Demon, and Luo Qingyi didn’t find it strange.

Actually, if we follow the rules, it would be difficult for anyone else who inherited the Sword Tomb to refine the tombstone and destroy the suppressed Celestial Demon’s residual soul.

But Ye Chen...

This guy isn’t afraid of pain at all.

Moreover.

This guy learned the Heaven-Ascending Step so quickly.

And also.

This guy’s sea of consciousness is so strange that his Spiritual Power is excessively strong!

In short.

This isn’t how a normal person should appear.

Thinking about it, Luo Qingyi felt a twinge of regret.

This brat’s elemental physique is dormant; not sure if it can be awakened again. If it could, the future would hold more possibilities.

After killing the Thorn Demon, Ye Chen’s skin continued to break and reform.

It’s as if a psychopath was tormenting him.

Finished?

Break it again!

Broken?

Reform, continue to break!

And this is just tempering the skin only. Soon, it’ll be breaking down all muscles, veins, and bones...

Lazy to think about it.

We’ll see when the time comes!

Can’t die, bear through it, and you’ll grow stronger!

Ye Chen persisted for more than an hour, and the Sword Qi tempering his skin finally ran out.

Although occasionally some skin fragments suddenly broke, they weren’t a big deal.

Ye Chen touched his skin with his hand.

Smooth as jade.

It has gained resilience, seemingly like cowhide, and upon close examination, it feels like touching the blade of a sword.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

”Look at you, you spineless thing!” Luo Qingyi could no longer tolerate it; where was the aura of dominance Ye Chen had when he comprehended the Invincible Sword posture?

Ye Chen wasn’t bothered by Luo Qingyi’s criticism, lifted his head to Luo Qingyi, and said, ”Elder Qingyi, why don’t you touch it as well? It’s really hard!”

Luo Qingyi’s expression froze.

Bastard!

Damn!

Shameless!

Lewd!

Seeing Luo Qingyi unresponsive, Ye Chen, wanting to share his joy, approached Luo Qingyi and said, ”Elder Qingyi, I’m serious, touch it and you’ll know.”

”Get lost!”

Luo Qingyi, enraged, waved his hand.

”Boom!”

In the backyard room of the Commandery Governor’s Mansion, Ye Chen’s body hit the corner of the wall...

Luo Qingyi threw him out again!

Ye Chen didn’t mind, it’s not like this hasn’t happened before.

Standing up, Ye Chen was still immersed in joy, continued touching his skin, and muttered to himself, ”So hard!”

”So wonderful!”

”Hahaha!”

At the door.

Qu Xiao was stunned.

Her hand ready to knock the door froze in mid-air, her cheeks flushed red.

”Lewd!”

Qu Xiao bit her lip and exclaimed, then turned around to leave silently.

Just then.

”Creak!”

Ye Chen suddenly pushed the room door open.

His perception was sharp, having detected Qu Xiao at the door.

”Miss Qu, why did you come and leave?” Ye Chen asked in confusion.

Qu Xiao turned to look at Ye Chen.

Then, seeing Ye Chen’s clothes stained with blood... she forgot her earlier thoughts, and exclaimed, ”Ye Chen, what happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?”

Ye Chen suddenly realized.

His skin was unharmed.

But during the skin tempering, blood had long soaked and dirtied his clothes.

”Nothing, hold on a second, I’ll change my clothes.”

Then Ye Chen closed the door.

A moment later, he opened the door again.

Changing into clean clothes, finally, everything looked normal.

Ye Chen quickly walked beside Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao instinctively stepped back a bit and said, ”Ye Chen, is this part of your cultivation technique?”

Regarding suddenly being covered in blood, Ye Chen couldn’t explain, so he nodded and said, ”Mm.”

The shock on Qu Xiao’s face deepened.

No wonder Ye Chen progressed so quickly; it seems he’s given too much blood and sweat on the road to getting stronger.

”Then what about what you said was hard... what’s that about?” Qu Xiao asked.

”It’s that my body’s defense has strengthened.” Ye Chen replied matter-of-factly.

So that’s it... Qu Xiao felt a bit guilty about her imaginative thoughts earlier, having misunderstood Ye Chen.

”As my body gets stronger, it gets harder; it’s all over, Miss Qu, you can feel it.”

Qu Xiao’s face instantly darkened, her expression sank.

Ye Chen was at a loss.

Women, they’re peculiar creatures!

Qu Xiao just stood there, staring straight at Ye Chen for a long time, not speaking.

Ye Chen began to feel awkward.

”By the way, Miss Qu, did Lord Governor agree to my exchange of weapons for a top-grade Spiritual Sword?” Ye Chen finally found a topic to break the silence.

Qu Xiao said, ”My father is at Demon Suppression Valley and not at the Commandery Governor’s Mansion. This matter, without needing anyone’s approval, I can make the decision fully. I’m preparing to take you to Celestial Soldier Pavilion right now.”

”Then let’s hurry up and go.” Ye Chen urged, he was eager to use Sword Control Celestial Scripture to consume a top-grade Spiritual Sword with his own sword.

A strong weapon is crucial, it can at least boost combat effectiveness by one or two levels.

With a top-grade Spiritual Sword, Ye Chen thinks slashing some low-level Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artists would be easy.

If he could slash Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artists, then the gap to slashing Transcendent Mortal Martial Artists wouldn’t be far.

The old dog Gu Yue from Celestial Sword Sect, mere Seventh Layer Mortal Transformation Realm.

Family blood feud, soon can truly be repaid in blood!

Qu Xiao nodded and said, ”Let’s go.”

On the way.

Qu Xiao introduced Celestial Soldier Pavilion to Ye Chen and said, ”Celestial Soldier Pavilion is a giant in Cangzhou, wielding significant influence among the seven major dynasties of Cangzhou.

Besides weapons, Celestial Soldier Pavilion also sells elixirs, cultivation techniques, and martial arts skills.

But the best thing about Celestial Soldier Pavilion is its weapons.

For instance, among top-grade Spiritual Swords, those from Celestial Soldier Pavilion are certainly better than others from anywhere else.”

Thought seeped through Ye Chen’s eyes, and he immediately said, ”We are in Cangzhou?!”

A few days ago, Luo Qingyi wanted Ye Chen to investigate Lingyun Mountain in Cangzhou, where Master Legs once found Holy Source Grass--which might have a chance to awaken Ye Chen’s elemental physique.

But there’s been too much happening lately.

Ye Chen hadn’t had the time to look into it.

Now, hearing Qu Xiao mentioning Cangzhou, Ye Chen’s heart couldn’t help but race.

Qu Xiao didn’t find Ye Chen’s inquiry odd.

After all, Ye Chen was from a small place, having joined Cangxing Martial Arts Academy for a short time as an intense cultivator, knowing little of this was normal; hence she patiently explained, ”Our world is called the Celestial Essence Continent, divided into five main regions: east, west, south, north, and center.

The eastern region consists of nine states, and the Great Zhou Dynasty belongs to Cangzhou, within which lie seven major dynasties.”

”Miss Qu, do you know of a place in Cangzhou called Lingyun Mountain?” Ye Chen anxiously asked.

Qu Xiao looked at Ye Chen in shock and said, ”Where did you hear about Lingyun Mountain?”

Seeing Qu Xiao’s expression, Ye Chen knew Lingyun Mountain must be complicated and his inquiry was a bit abrupt, so he said, ”My teacher mentioned it before, but said half and left the rest unsaid, so I’m curious.”

”Oh, I see.” Qu Xiao nodded and said, ”Elder Yang recently visited Lingyun Mountain, so it’s normal he mentioned it to you. Lingyun Mountain is located between our Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty, but it’s not a place accessible to us unless one reaches the Mortal Transformation Realm or is a Tier Six Spirit Master; only then one gets a chance to engage with Lingyun Mountain’s affairs.

As for what’s at Lingyun Mountain, I don’t know; I’ve only heard my father say many strong individuals die there every year.”

Ye Chen acknowledged without further questions.

They continued walking for a while until they arrived at a luxuriously grand entrance.

Celestial Soldier Pavilion, arrived!
