Supreme Sword God

Chapter 240: Chapter 239: Entering the Capital City, Trouble Comes Knocking!

As Zhou Chengqian was seriously injured and sent flying, a series of terrifying auras rose from the Celestial Dry Academy.

Hua Qianxue sheathed her sword and stepped into the sky.

The anger from the Celestial Dry Academy was meaningless to her.

In fact.

The strong figures of the Celestial Dry Academy indeed did not dare to obstruct her.

The events that transpired at the Celestial Dry Academy quickly spread throughout the Capital City.

Hua Qianxue, with just one sword, crushed Zhou Chengqian!

The once fervent topic about their match being a union made in heaven was shattered completely!

Hua Qianxue used one sword to prove one thing.

She was a genius.

Zhou Chengqian was also a genius.

But they were not geniuses of the same level.

Zhou Chengqian was unworthy of her, Hua Qianxue.

How the royal family and the Hua Family would deal with this matter was beyond an ordinary person’s reach.

......

Two days after the event where Hua Qianxue defeated Zhou Chengqian with one sword.

He Dong, Vice Martial Arts Dean of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, brought Ye Chen, Sun Siming, Yu Hui, Ouyang Xiaoling, and Qu Xiao, and after many days of traveling, finally arrived at Jiulong City.

The group stood at a distance, looking at the magnificent city walls. Even before entering, they could feel that overwhelming grandeur, stirring their spirits!

”Brother Ye, do you think the eldest lady of the Hua Family will greet you at the city gate?” Fatty suddenly chuckled and said.

They had also heard about Hua Qianxue’s matter on their way.

Currently, many rumors were circulating.

Some say Hua Qianxue intended to break off the engagement, thereby using that sword to express her stance.

Others say Hua Qianxue did it because Ye Chen of the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy was about to arrive in Jiulong City, wanting to show her feelings to Ye Chen.

Ever since Fatty heard about this, he would occasionally tease Ye Chen with a remark.

He believed that Hua Qianxue was surely indicating her feelings toward Ye Chen.

Saying this, Fatty sneaked a glance at Ouyang Xiaoling and Qu Xiao beside him, chuckling hilariously.

These two women surely liked Ye Chen too, though they were pretending to act indifferent, every time he mentioned Hua Qianxue, they would always show a slight awkwardness.

Ye Chen didn’t respond to Fatty’s words.

He roughly guessed Hua Qianxue’s thoughts.

Expressing feelings... perhaps, but the possibility isn’t big.

She’s an extremely proud girl.

Ye Chen thought that with his rising fame, Hua Qianxue probably wanted to show off to him... Then that Zhou Chengqian became the unlucky target.

After all, Hua Qianxue once said that if she disagreed with the marriage, no one could force her, so if she wanted to annul it, she didn’t need to do it this way.

Indeed, it’s still that Hua Qianxue, hasn’t changed a bit, arrogant to the extreme!

He Dong looked at Ye Chen, his expression somewhat complicated.

Ye Chen had enough trouble, and with Hua Qianxue causing a scene like this, his troubles would probably increase.

Even though he received Ouyang Shang’s instructions before coming, telling Ye Chen to act freely, He Dong was still worried that if things got too big, the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy might not handle it.

On the surface, the Capital City had only one legendary powerhouse overseeing it.

But in reality, who knows what’s really going on?

This current Zhou Emperor is no simple figure!

”Let’s go, enter the city, and head to the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.” He Dong suppressed his thoughts and said.

The Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy has always ranked first among all the academies in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Every Stormy Cloud Tournament was hosted by the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.

For martial artists from the top ten academies attending the tournament, the Emperor Star Academy would arrange accommodations, while those ranked after the tenth handled their food and lodging themselves.

Entering the city.

The streets were wide, prosperous, and bustling.

Compared to Jiulong City, the city of Unparalleled County was utterly insignificant, akin to a countryside.

Soon, the group arrived at the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, and under the guidance of the academy’s people, settled into their lodgings.

After all, the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy was ranked third, so the accommodations were quite nice. A large courtyard with each person having their own room, and every room equipped with a training chamber.

Due to the exhaustion from traveling, the group had a bit to eat and then each returned to their rooms to rest.

Ye Chen returned to his room and immediately took out numerous elemental stones, placing them in the training chamber, then began cultivating the Nine Heavens Sword Manual.

With his current strength, dealing with those Transcendence First Layer martial artists of genius caliber wasn’t a problem, but he still felt pressure.

This pressure came from Hua Qianxue.

According to the rumors outside, Hua Qianxue had already reached the Peak of Primordial Embryo Realm Cultivation and was a Tier Five Celestial Seal Spirit Master.

And that Zhou Chengqian, who was equally talented, was at the Fifth Layer of Transcendence.

It’s not surprising that Hua Qianxue could defeat Zhou Chengqian, but for her to defeat him with just one sword was truly astonishing.

Of course.

Ye Chen felt that if he also reached the Peak of Primordial Embryo Realm Cultivation, with the strength of a Tier Five Spirit Master, he would be stronger than Hua Qianxue!

He had condensed the spirit seal with nine groups of spirit patterns, walking the path of an Extreme Spirit Master, achieving a perfect fusion of spirit and martial arts, also capable of integrating Demonic Qi, combined with the Nine Heavens Sword Manual and the Heaven-Ascending Step...

Forget it.

Better to stop thinking.

Be honest and focus on cultivation!

A person needs to recognize reality.

The reality is, he was only at the Elemental Wheel Realm Third Layer, just entering the Tier Four Extreme Spirit Master level.

Training late into the night, Ye Chen finally exited the training chamber and lay down on the bed to rest.

However, that night, Jiulong City was not peaceful, and news about Ye Chen entering the capital spread completely!

The next morning.

He Dong went to discuss some details about the Stormy Cloud Tournament with the dean of the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy. He gathered everyone, instructed them not to wander around aimlessly, and then left.

Ye Chen returned to his room.

Fatty followed him in, with eyes gleaming, chuckling, ”Brother Ye, there will be some excitement later.”

”What’s going on?” Ye Chen asked.

”Before every Stormy Cloud Tournament begins, there is a tradition. Geniuses from various academies love to spar and challenge each other in private.

With Brother Ye’s reputation and all those troubles around you, surely many will come to challenge you. That’s a good thing!”

Ye Chen: ”...”

This Fatty, truly needs a beating.

Having many people come to trouble him, in his words, became a good thing...

Fatty laughed so hard that his eyes completely narrowed, ”Challenges have rules. After one person finishes a match in a day, they can rest, and no one else is allowed to challenge them.

But as long as the person being challenged feels it’s okay, they can continue fighting.

Imagine, there must be a lot of people looking to trouble you, right?

Finishing after one match, that’s too boring.

If someone comes looking for you later, after a match, I’ll stand guard at the door, five hundred low-grade elemental stones per match. If they want to continue, they’ll give me elemental stones, and we’ll split the proceeds fifty-fifty!”

Ye Chen looked at Fatty with a deep gaze.

Fatty chuckled, ”Sixty-forty is fine too, you sixty, me forty.”

Ye Chen was exhausted and didn’t want to speak.

Fatty immediately said, ”Twenty-eighty, you eighty, me twenty, Brother Ye, that’s my bottom line. You eat the meat, leave me some soup... think about it, my bottle of Divine Radiance Pill... I’ve been so loyal, you have to take care of your brother here!”

Before Ye Chen could say anything.

A commotion was heard outside the courtyard!

Fatty shivered all over, his fat trembling, ”You see, people are coming, many... Brother Ye, we’re going to make a fortune, I’ll go out first to help screen them for you!”

Throwing this sentence, Fatty immediately rushed out.

When he saw the large crowd outside the courtyard, his eyes lit up... these were all elemental stones!
