Supreme Lord of Towers

Whoosh.

Just as Ouyang Xue was in despair, a figure suddenly rushed towards the White Jade Battle Platform at an extremely fast speed, stirring up gusts of wind wherever it passed.

This figure was none other than Ye Chen.

”Zi Xuan, your opponent is me, let him go quickly.” Ye Chen said coldly.

Even he did not expect Zi Xuan to be so ruthless, even though Ouyang Ren had already lost, he still did not intend to let him go.

Although he was not very familiar with Ouyang Ren, the latter was, after all, Teacher Ouyang’s nephew.

Therefore, he absolutely could not allow Zi Xuan to harm Ouyang Ren.

”Ye Chen, you useless waste, you finally showed up. I thought you didn’t dare to come.” Zi Xuan couldn’t help but sneer, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a prey waiting to be slaughtered.

”Ha! Who would have thought this trash would dare to participate in the competition for Chief Disciple, I really don’t know who gave him the courage.”

”With skills like that, Senior Brother Zi Xuan could crush him with a flip of his hand.” The students watching from Profound Sword Peak sneered, their lips full of mocking smiles.

In their view, Ye Chen’s cultivation hadn’t even reached the Gang Qi Realm; the gap between him and Zi Xuan was simply too vast.

So what if he defeated Duanmu Jie?

For Zi Xuan to crush him required no effort at all.

”Zi Xuan, Senior Brother Ouyang has already lost his ability to fight, let him go and make me your opponent.” As Ye Chen advanced towards the White Jade Battle Platform, he shouted coldly at Zi Xuan.

”Who do you think you are? Dare to tell me what to do? If I want to kill him, do you think a waste like you can stop me?” Zi Xuan’s lips curled into a sinister smile, and with a thought, he controlled the sharp claws of the Purple Flood Dragon to slash at Ouyang Ren.

”Damn it.” A fierce anger exploded from Ye Chen’s eyes, and even his gaze became extremely cold.

Whoosh.

In the next moment, a sharp cyan Sword Qi whistled out from the depths of Ye Chen’s Dantian, quickly merging with the Gang Qi within his body, rushing towards Zi Xuan.

The speed of this cyan Sword Qi was incredibly fast, appearing in front of Zi Xuan almost instantly.

Even Zi Xuan felt a considerable threat from it.

”Damn, it’s the Storm Swordsmanship of the Transformation Realm.” Zi Xuan’s pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned extremely ugly, and he hurriedly manipulated the Purple Flood Dragon’s claws to meet the incoming cyan Sword Qi.

With a loud bang.

The two forces collided violently, producing a thunderous noise.

The Storm Sword Qi unleashed by Ye Chen, although inferior to Zi Xuan’s Purple Flood Dragon Bloodline in power, was incredibly sharp, instantly cutting off the claws of the Purple Flood Dragon.

Even the massive body of the ten-zhang-long Purple Flood Dragon was forced to retreat repeatedly by the shock.

”What? Ye Chen actually pushed back Senior Brother Zi Xuan, how is this possible?”

”Look, it’s the Gang Qi, his cultivation has actually stepped into the Gang Qi Realm.” The surrounding students stood frozen, eyes full of disbelief.

Crackle.

All around Ye Chen’s body, a violent Gang Qi surged, enveloping an area with a radius of five zhang.

If it weren’t for Ye Chen’s cultivation stepping into the Gang Qi Realm, even if he had cultivated Storm Swordsmanship to the Transformation Realm, it would have been difficult to push Zi Xuan back just now.

After all, using Gang Qi to drive the Storm Swordsmanship is far more powerful than using True Qi.

Conservatively estimated, the Storm Sword Qi Ye Chen just unleashed had at least the strength of about a thousand tigers, and with its extreme sharpness, even Zi Xuan suffered a minor setback in front of it.

Unfortunately, the Storm Sword Qi has a drawback, which is that it cannot be used in conjunction with Ye Chen’s Physical Power, and can only be employed for long-range attacks.

Otherwise, Ye Chen’s combat power would certainly rise to another level.

This is also the main reason why Ye Chen chose to cultivate the Fire Ape Fist.

Because the Fire Ape Fist can coordinate with Ye Chen’s Physical Power, the two forces can be combined.

Their explosive power is simply not something the Storm Swordsmanship could compare to.

”In just a few days, this little beast’s cultivation has already stepped into the Gang Qi Realm, how on earth did he do it?” Within the hall, Duanmu Ying’s face turned extremely gloomy, somewhat disbelieving.

”Indeed, it’s strange. Could it be that he took some rare Elixir?” Even the Celestial Flame Peak Master was filled with shock.

He knew that there were some rare Elixirs in this world capable of accelerating the condensation of True Qi within the body.

For instance, the Qi Condensing Pill possesses such an effect.

However, the Qi Condensing Pill is incredibly expensive, even Celestial Spirit Realm experts may not be able to afford it.

Where exactly did Ye Chen get this elixir from?

”It must be that old dog, Ouyang Zhong, who gave it to this waste. Hmph! Too bad, even if this waste’s cultivation has broken through to the Gang Qi Realm, what of it? Wanting to defeat Zi Xuan is simply dreaming.” Duanmu Ying sneered inwardly.

She simply hadn’t thought that Ye Chen could break through to the Gang Qi Realm so quickly because he had already perfected all four Yellow Level Upper Grade martial arts.

After all, Ye Chen had only obtained the other three Yellow Level Upper Grade martial arts a few days ago.

No matter how heaven-defying his martial arts talent might be, it was absolutely impossible for him to achieve this.

Whizz.

Amidst everyone’s shock, Ye Chen’s body moved like a spiritual leopard, instantly leaping onto the White Jade Battle Platform, arriving in front of Ouyang Ren.

”Damn it, Brother Ouyang is injured so severely.” Ye Chen hurriedly used his Divine Soul Power to investigate Ouyang Ren’s injuries, his expression instantly turning incredibly grim, a terrifying cold light shooting forth from his eyes.

At this moment, Ouyang Ren’s bones had all been fractured, with some fragments even piercing into his internal organs, and his consciousness was gradually fading.

If not for him having perfected the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,’ his body would be much stronger than ordinary cultivators.

He would surely already be a dead man.

This meant that Zi Xuan, that beast, intended to kill Ouyang Ren from the very beginning.

”Brother Ouyang, I will definitely avenge you.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly, creating a piercing cracking sound.

”Ha! Do you think you, such a waste, can avenge him? Do you really think that breaking through to the Gang Qi Realm gives you the qualifications to be my opponent? You’ll soon understand how foolish and ignorant you are.” At this moment, Ye Chen’s ears were suddenly filled with Zi Xuan’s mocking voice.

Though Zi Xuan was somewhat surprised that Ye Chen had broken through to the Gang Qi Realm in just a few days,

he still did not take Ye Chen seriously.

After all, his cultivation had already stepped into the Eighth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm, and he possessed twice the Qi Sea Foundation.

And Ye Chen?

Despite having five times the Qi Sea Foundation, his cultivation was only at the First Layer of the Gang Qi Realm, with True Qi content far less than even a third of Zi Xuan’s.

What could he use to fight Zi Xuan?

”Ye Chen, please don’t fight him, I’m really afraid.” At this moment, Ouyang Xue also arrived at the edge of the White Jade Battle Platform, pleading to Ye Chen.

At this moment, she was truly worried about Ye Chen’s safety.

She had already lost her father and didn’t want to lose Ye Chen too.

”Teacher Ouyang, believe me, I will surely win the position of Chief Disciple. Quickly take Brother Ouyang for treatment; his situation is dire.” Ye Chen quickly handed Ouyang Ren to Ouyang Xue.

”Ye Chen, promise me you’ll stay safe. It doesn’t matter if you can’t become Chief Disciple, as long as you live peacefully.” Ouyang Xue gazed deeply at Ye Chen, advising him with concerned words.

”Alright.” Ye Chen nodded heavily, then turned and walked toward Zi Xuan.

”Haha! You two truly have deep teacher-disciple bonds! Waste, if you’re afraid of dying, you can roll down now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Zi Xuan raised his head high, mouth filled with ridicule, looking at Ye Chen as if he were an ant he could crush at will.

”Enough talk, come over here and die.” Ye Chen said coldly, with terrifying killing intent surging forth.

At this moment, in his eyes, Zi Xuan was already a dead man.

He absolutely would not spare him.

”Hmph! Ye Chen, this foolish thing, really is unaware of the heights of the heavens, daring to challenge Zi Xuan. Even if he dies here today, he brought it upon himself; no one will sympathize with him.” Among the crowd, Chen Bai, grandson of the Soul Palace Master, couldn’t help but sneer.

”Some people really have no sense of self-awareness; even the position of Chief Disciple, can it be touched by such a waste who cannot even awaken his bloodline? The self-important will inevitably perish.” Dressed in red, Celestial Flame Peak’s Seed Student Ning Hongye spoke in a high-and-mighty tone, glancing at Ye Chen with disdain.

In her life, she despised people like Ye Chen who had no ability yet talked big.

Such people never meet good ends.

This includes Ye Chen.

”This Ning Hongye, her strength seems even more profound than Zi Xuan’s; I mustn’t underestimate her. Once Ye Chen, that fool, is crushed by Zi Xuan, then it’s my turn to act! I also want to see how strong the Purple Flood Dragon Bloodline is.” Chen Bai’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on Ning Hongye, a powerful fighting spirit flowing through him.

Although Zi Xuan had awakened a Profound Level Fourth Grade Bloodline, the Purple Flood Dragon Bloodline,

Chen Bai was not easy prey either, and he feared no one.

Rather, it is Ning Hongye who gives him a sense of dread.

As for Ye Chen, he couldn’t even be bothered to look at him.

This trash, who just entered the Gang Qi Realm, does not qualify as his opponent.
