Martial Arts are Too Involuted, and If You are Not Careful, You Can Quickly Pass the High Martial Arts

35: Breakthrough in internal refining! Topped the list! This kid is so terrifying!”Sword Aura?”

When Ye Chen saw the last line of text, he was initially stunned, but after fully digesting the insights and information in his mind, a brilliant light burst forth.

”He even comprehended Sword Aura!”

Ye Chen’s face was filled with excitement.

In Martial Dao, some Martial Artists with outstanding talent in a certain Domain, such as the Dao of the Sword, will comprehend a Sword Dao Realm.

And the Sword Aura Realm... is the Entry-Level of the Sword Dao Realm!

Although it is only an Entry-Level Sword Dao Realm, comprehending it requires immense talent.

Looking across the entire Great Xia, most of those who can comprehend Sword Aura are Third-Stage Martial Artists; only a small number of extraordinarily gifted individuals can comprehend Sword Aura at the Second-Stage.

As for Ye Chen... he comprehended Sword Aura even before breaking through to the Second-Stage.

If this were to spread, all the Martial Artists in Great Xia would be shaken.

”The Sword Dao Realm is divided into Sword Aura, Sword Light, Sword Qi, and Sword Intent!”

”Even if one only comprehends Sword Aura, the power of sword-based Martial Arts will increase by at least 30%. If Sword Aura is comprehended to Perfection, it can even increase by 50% or more!”

Ye Chen recalled the introduction to the Sword Dao Realm.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but bring up the System panel.

[”name: Ye Chen”]

[”cultivation: Blood Refinement Warrior (99/100)”]

[”Xuan Tan Breathing Method: Entry-Level (1/100)”]

[”Three Thousand Wind Shadow Steps: Entry-Level (1/100)”]

[”Nine Heavens Cloud Piercing Sword: Entry-Level (1/100)”]

[”Azure Wave Sword Art: (100/100)”]

[”Sword Aura: Entry-Level (1/100)”]

”Although I am only a First-Stage Martial Artist, I am only a step away from the Second-Stage.”

”Now that my Breathing Technique and Martial Arts have all been upgraded to the Third-Stage, plus the Sword Aura, if I break through to the Second-Stage, I might be able to pass the second floor of the Ink Dragon Tower!”

Ye Chen looked at the System panel in front of him, and brilliant light couldn’t help but burst from his eyes.

”So now... it’s time to break through to the Second-Stage!”

Ye Chen smiled slightly, took out the remaining two Blood-Raising Pills, and swallowed them directly.

The next moment, a vast force of Qi and blood instantly surged into Ye Chen’s body.

At this moment, Ye Chen also activated the Xuan Tan Breathing Technique, this Third-Stage Breathing Technique, evolved from the Xuan Tan Breathing Technique, had significantly higher refinement ability and cultivation efficiency than the Perfection-level Xuan Tan Breathing Technique.

In just half an hour, the power of the two Blood-Raising Pills had already been refined by Ye Chen, instantly transforming into his own cultivation.

Ye Chen opened his eyes, and a terrifying energy diffused from his body.

”Organ Refinement... it’s done!”

Ye Chen opened his mouth and spoke softly, accompanied by a powerful force of Qi and blood roaring out from his body.

With a thought, the System panel reappeared.

[”name: Ye Chen”]

[”cultivation: Organ Refinement Martial Artist (2/100)”]

[”Xuan Tan Breathing Method: Entry-Level (5/100)”]

[”Three Thousand Wind Shadow Steps: Entry-Level (5/100)”]

[”Nine Heavens Cloud Piercing Sword: Entry-Level (5/100)”]

[”Azure Wave Sword Art: (100/100)”]

[”Sword Aura: Entry-Level (2/100)”]

”Third-Stage Breathing Technique and Martial Arts, the Blood-Raising Pills’ boost to them is much less; two Blood-Raising Pills only increased proficiency by five points.”

”Sword Aura only increased by one point in progress.”

”However... it’s still very good.”

Ye Chen looked at his current state, smiled slightly, then stood up and stretched his neck.

”Perhaps... I can try to buy a Spirit Sword of my own!”

A glint of light flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes.

Previously, in the Third-Level Another Dimension, Ye Chen had been thinking about the Spirit Sword Murong Qing had lent him, wanting to own a Spirit Sword of his own.

After all, a Spirit Sword could increase the proficiency of the Nine Heavens Cloud Piercing Sword, and perhaps even the progress of Sword Aura.

Furthermore, with a Spirit Sword in hand, his combat power would also increase significantly.

Immediately, Ye Chen opened the exchange list and directly found the page for Second-Stage Spirit Swords.

”Second-Stage Spirit Sword: Blazing Fire Sword, 300 points!”

”Second-Stage Spirit Sword: Cloud Soaring Sword, 400 points!”

”Second-Stage Spirit Sword: Thunderclap Sword, 400 points!”

”...”

Ye Chen looked through them, and the prices made him gasp.

”The cheapest Second-Stage Spirit Sword actually costs three hundred points? The most expensive one even costs 600 points?”

Ye Chen’s voice was a little distorted.

He only had two hundred and fifty points left on him now, so he couldn’t even afford a Second-Stage Spirit Sword?

As for First-Stage Spirit Swords, they were cheap, costing only dozens of points, but they couldn’t support Ye Chen’s current strength at all.

Moreover... the improvement a First-Stage Spirit Sword would bring him would probably be very little.

After all, the Nine Heavens Cloud Piercing Sword is a Third-Stage Martial Art, so a First-Stage Spirit Sword probably wouldn’t increase proficiency much; it would be better to slowly grind it out himself.

Not to mention Sword Aura.

”I need to earn money!”

Ye Chen rubbed his head, feeling quite a headache.

”In Jiangnan Training Camp, points are everything. Even if you want to improve your strength, you need enough points!”

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning to think about ways to earn points in Jiangnan Training Camp.

The first, of course, was the fixed points distributed weekly, and the second was completing missions. Earning points through missions was also the usual method for most members of Jiangnan Training Camp.

As for the third, it was dueling.

Of course, there was another... which Ye Chen had unintentionally heard Murong Qing mention today.

That was to challenge the Ink Dragon Prodigy Ranking!

On the Ink Dragon Prodigy Ranking, one could obtain an uncertain number of points every day. Even the last-ranked person could receive one hundred points daily.

As for the top three, it was said they received over a thousand points daily.

”Ink Dragon... Prodigy Ranking!”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

”If I remember correctly, some people who haven’t passed the second floor are also on that ranking, so... I just need to pass the second floor to get on the ranking?”

Ye Chen recalled, and then his eyes brightened.

”This is a good method. I don’t have to painstakingly complete any missions; I can just charge the ranking!”

Thinking of this, Ye Chen quickly got up and walked towards the Ink Dragon Tower.

Previously, Ye Chen hadn’t passed the second floor because the Silver Guard, with his Organ Refinement Second-Stage cultivation, also mastered an Entry-Level Third-Stage Martial Art.

His combat power was comparable to some Organ Refinement Third-Stage Martial Artists.

And at that time, Ye Chen was, after all, just a Blood Refinement Warrior.

But now it was different. After breaking through to Organ Refinement, Ye Chen had successively mastered two Third-Stage Martial Arts, plus the foundation brought by the Third-Stage Breathing Technique... there was no way he couldn’t pass!

Soon, Ye Chen’s figure appeared at the Ink Dragon Tower.

At this moment, there were still many members around the Ink Dragon Tower, also preparing to challenge the Ink Dragon Tower, partly to hone their Martial Arts, and partly to try to pass the levels and obtain rewards.

When Ye Chen’s figure appeared near the Ink Dragon Tower, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.

”Ye Chen? This guy just dueled Yang Bufan this morning, and now he’s at the Ink Dragon Tower again this afternoon?”

”What does he want to do? Does he want to challenge the Ink Dragon Tower? To hone his Martial Arts with the Ink Dragon Tower?”

”That’s right, he’s going to fight Yang Bufan in a month, so he must be seizing the time to improve his strength now.”

”Hehehe, let him be arrogant. He even dared to challenge Yang Bufan. I’d like to see how he handles it a month from now!”

The surrounding crowd, after recognizing Ye Chen, all laughed and spoke.

Ye Chen ignored the gazes and voices around him and walked straight into the Ink Dragon Tower.

Seeing this, everyone was happy to watch Ye Chen challenge the Ink Dragon Tower.

”Here they come, here they come! The betting is open, how long can Ye Chen stay on the second floor!”

”I bet three minutes!”

”I bet five minutes!”

”Then I’ll bet six minutes. If I remember correctly, Ye Chen stayed on the second floor for about six minutes this morning!”

For a time, everyone responded enthusiastically, looking happily in the direction of the Ink Dragon Tower.

In their opinion, Ye Chen would surely fail this time, and his purpose in coming here was just to hone his Martial Arts.

As for passing the level... what a joke?

Who in their right mind, after only lasting a few minutes in the morning, could successfully pass the level in less than half a day?

With such thoughts, everyone happily looked at the Ink Dragon Tower.

Some even pulled out sunflower seeds and peanuts from their pockets, ready to munch on dried fruits while watching Ye Chen’s performance.

However, before they could be happy for too long.

In just two minutes, the light on the second floor of the Ink Dragon Tower instantly dimmed.

Immediately after, a faint light lit up on the third floor of the Ink Dragon Tower.

In an instant, the expressions on the faces of the spectators froze.

The surroundings also fell into a dead silence at this moment.

A moment later, a cry of surprise finally broke the silence.

”No way, buddy? He just passed the second floor??”

”No, he only lasted a few minutes this morning. In less than half a day, you’re telling me he successfully passed the second level??”

A series of exclamations made everyone’s expressions instantly turn strange, and many even looked at the Ink Dragon Tower with shock.

”Hey, look! The Ink Dragon Prodigy Ranking has changed!!”

”Ye Chen’s name has appeared on the Ink Dragon Prodigy Ranking!!”

Someone looking at the Ink Dragon Prodigy Ranking let out an urgent cry.

For a moment, many people looked in the direction of the Ink Dragon Prodigy Ranking and indeed saw a brand new name slowly appearing on the stone tablet.

”Ninety-sixth place: Ye Chen! Floors: 2 floors!”

”Hiss!”

As everyone saw Ye Chen’s name appear at ninety-sixth place on the Ink Dragon Prodigy Ranking, gasps of cold air instantly erupted.

”He’s only been in the Training Camp for one day, cleared the first floor in the morning, and cleared the second floor in the afternoon?”

”This child... is terrifying!”
