Supreme Lord of Towers

”Ha! Ye Chen, I am now an elder of the Profound Sword Peak. With just you, do you really think you are qualified to detain me?” At this moment, Ouyang Yi’s long narrow eyes were filled with thick mockery, looking extremely disdainful.

Yes!

Ye Chen has indeed become the Hall Master of the War King Hall.

However, his strength was truly too weak, and Ouyang Yi simply did not regard him seriously at all.

In his eyes, Ye Chen was no different from a clown performing tricks.

Thinking that such trash wants to detain him? He should look in the mirror to get a sense of his own worth.

”Old fool, hand over all the cultivation resources from the War King Hall’s treasury to me, or you will regret it,” Ye Chen said coldly to Ouyang Yi, clenching his fist tightly.

”Regret? Ye Chen, you’re overthinking it. With just your Gang Qi Realm strength, how would you ever make me regret anything? Do you not have even a bit of self-awareness?” Ouyang Yi couldn’t help but sneer, the corners of his mouth filled with a playful smile, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

”Old Lu, take him down for me,” Ye Chen said, his eyes blazing with fury, turning to Ouyang Lu beside him.

”Yes, Hall Master, Ouyang Yi, you dare steal the cultivation resources from our War King Hall’s treasury; your crime is unforgivable. Surrender at once,” Ouyang Lu said, his eyes suddenly flashing with a piercing cold gleam.

Buzz!

Soon after, a violent force of Celestial Spirits surged out of Ouyang Lu’s body, forming a giant golden hand dozens of feet long, reaching out to grab Ouyang Yi.

The power contained in this giant hand was truly terrifying, undoubtedly exceeding the Power of Six Thousand Tigers.

Not to mention an ordinary mortal with flesh and blood, even a small mountain could be shattered to dust.

This is the fearsome power of a Peak of Celestial Spirit Realm expert.

Even though Ouyang Lu’s Qi Sea Foundation was only at one layer, it was enough to crush most of the strong figures in the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

”Hmph! What a waste of effort.” Surprisingly, Ouyang Yi showed no fear, a thick mockery flashing across his lips, looking extremely confident.

”Ouyang Lu, you have quite the courage to even dare to touch people from our Profound Sword Peak. With me here today, no one can harm a single hair on Ouyang Yi,” suddenly, Duanmu Ying’s cold voice echoed among the people, her tone incomparably overbearing, making even souls tremble involuntarily.

Rumble.

In the next moment, a force of Celestial Spirits even more formidable than Ouyang Lu’s, almost twice as powerful, surged out from Duanmu Ying’s body, instantly forming a purple Sword Aura dozens of feet long, slashing toward that golden hand.

With a loud ripping sound.

In the blink of an eye, the golden hand was cleaved in half by the Sword Aura, dissipating into the void.

Yet, the purple Sword Aura did not disappear but instead, whistled rapidly toward Ouyang Lu.

”Hall Master, be careful,” Ouyang Lu’s expression changed drastically.

He was extremely close to Ye Chen, not even a foot apart.

Thus, the purple Sword Aura threatened Ye Chen greatly as it attacked him as well.

Clearly, Duanmu Ying did this on purpose.

She actually dared to attack Ye Chen, the War King Hall Master, within the War King Hall’s territory.

This was undoubtedly a huge humiliation for Ye Chen.

”Damn it! Duanmu Ying, that vile woman, indeed possesses a Qi Sea Foundation twice as strong. It seems that just relying on the Human Emperor Body is far from enough for me to avenge Elder Ouyang; I must cultivate the ’Glazed Martial Body’ as well,” Ye Chen thought, his teeth clenched tightly, filled with boundless anger.

”Don’t you dare harm the Hall Master, break for me,” just then, Ouyang Lu’s body suddenly left an afterimage in place.

When he appeared again, he was already in front of the purple Sword Aura.

Then, his palms burst with dazzling golden light, like indestructible Divine Gold, striking continuously at the purple Sword Aura.

This is the Transformation Realm’s Profound Gold Palm.

As a Peak of Celestial Spirit Realm expert, Ouyang Lu naturally mastered some Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts from the War King Hall.

And the Profound Gold Palm was just one of them.

Bang bang bang.

In the sky, Ouyang Lu’s palms clashed fiercely with the purple Sword Aura, emitting ear-piercing metallic collision sounds.

After four or five breaths, enormous cracks finally appeared on the purple Sword Aura, eventually exploding in the air.

Although Ouyang Lu wasn’t injured by the purple Sword Aura, he was panting heavily, looking extremely exhausted.

After all, he was a man in his nineties, with half a foot already in the grave, naturally far less vigorous than in his youth.

If Duanmu Ying were to attack a few more times, he wouldn’t be able to hold on.

This also showed the significant gap between him and Duanmu Ying.

Both are at the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm, but Duanmu Ying possesses twice the foundation of the Sea of Qi, and is much younger than Ouyang Lu.

Therefore, she found it really easy to defeat Ouyang Lu.

”Ouyang Lu, you’re truly getting old. Even my ordinary move is such a struggle for you to block. With just you, trying to snatch Ouyang Yi in front of me is simply overestimating yourself.” Duanmu Ying sneered coldly, the corners of her mouth filled with mockery.

”Alas! Hall Master, it’s my inadequacy that I couldn’t help you capture that miscreant!” Ouyang Lu sighed helplessly, his expression deeply remorseful.

”Elder Lu, it’s not your fault. It’s just that Duanmu Ying is too strong.” Ye Chen hurriedly transmitted his voice to Elder Lu.

He knew that Elder Lu had already given his best.

If it wasn’t for Elder Lu blocking that purple Sword Aura earlier, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

So, he not only didn’t blame Elder Lu, he was very grateful to him.

”Ha! Ye Chen, so what if you have become the Hall Master of the War King Hall! It’s nothing but an empty title. A worthless piece of garbage like you wanting to question me, you really overestimate yourself. Let me tell you, the cultivation resources in the treasury are something you’ll never get in your lifetime. I will never hand them over. Let’s see what you can do about it?” Ouyang Yi couldn’t help but laugh loudly, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a pathetic ant.

”Let’s go, there’s no need to waste time on such trash.” Duanmu Ying glanced at Ye Chen with a playful look and left with people from Profound Sword Peak.

Although their students from Profound Sword Peak had been driven out of War King Hall by Ye Chen.

Nonetheless, Duanmu Ying wasn’t worried at all.

Because Ye Chen’s position as Hall Master certainly wouldn’t last long.

From time to time, the Azure Sky Immortal Sect sent envoys to Celestial Flame Academy to test the strength of the leaders of the four factions.

If the standard set by the Azure Sky Immortal Sect isn’t met, the leadership position would be stripped away.

And Ye Chen had only just entered the Gang Qi Realm not long ago, his strength was exceedingly weak.

He certainly wouldn’t be able to pass the test.

Once his position as Hall Master was taken away by the envoy from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, the War King Hall would be leaderless once again.

At that time, they could send students to reside in War King Hall again.

”Ye Chen, there’s something I must remind you of. Within six months, the envoy from Azure Sky Immortal Sect could descend upon our Celestial Flame Academy at any time. Don’t think that becoming the Hall Master of War King Hall allows you to hold this position forever. If your strength does not meet the standards of Azure Sky Immortal Sect, your Hall Master position will also be stripped. Be prepared for it!” The Celestial Flame Peak Master said to Ye Chen before leaving, a barely detectable flicker of mockery in his eyes.

Like Duanmu Ying, he believed that Ye Chen could never pass the test of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

After all, the time left for Ye Chen was already running out, not even half a year.

No matter how hard Ye Chen worked on his cultivation, it was impossible for him to meet the standards set by the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Hence, his position as Hall Master wouldn’t last much longer.

”Elder Lu, is what he said true?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but frown as he asked Ouyang Lu.

”Yes! Every now and then, the Azure Sky Immortal Sect does send envoys to test the leaders of the four factions. After all, the position of leader is not a child’s play, usually requiring someone with great strength to hold it. Throughout history, the Hall Masters of War King Hall only went to take the Hall Master test after their cultivation entered the Celestial Spirit Realm, so situations like yours are extremely rare.” Ouyang Lu sighed again.

”Celestial Spirit Realm? Half a year is more than enough for me.” Ye Chen, however, brimmed with strong confidence between his eyebrows.

For others, in half a year, wanting to leap from the Gang Qi Realm to the Celestial Spirit Realm is almost impossible.

Even Chu Feng, the top prodigy of Celestial Flame Academy, couldn’t do it.

However, Ye Chen now had already cultivated sixteen Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm.

The speed at which he converts Spiritual Qi to Gang Qi is probably faster than those with the Celestial Bloodline.

So, let alone half a year, even if he is given three months, he might break through to the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Of course, that’s provided he focuses all his energy on enhancing his cultivation.

If there are other matters at hand, it might not be as fast.

Despite this, within half a year, he would definitely step into the Celestial Spirit Realm.

When that time comes, he is naturally confident he can pass the Azure Sky Immortal Sect’s test and continue to serve as the Hall Master of the War King Hall.

After a cup of tea worth of time.

Ye Chen returned to the Cultivation Hall.

This time, he wasn’t able to obtain six million Ordinary Spirit Stones from the treasury, so he couldn’t temporarily condense the remaining six Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns.

This undoubtedly had a significant impact on his strength.

One must know that those six Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns could increase the Power of Six Thousand Tigers, far stronger than the strength Ye Chen currently had.

”Since I can’t temporarily condense the other Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns, I’ll first cultivate the Little Glazed Combat Body!” Ye Chen thought to himself as he walked towards the gate of the Third Layer of the Cultivation Hall.
