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

42: Brother Wolf, misunderstanding! Breakthrough, third level bone forging!”Just a little peek... there shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

Ye Chen looked toward the depths of the Cloud Domain Space not far away, his eyes carrying a hint of reluctance.

Knowing clearly that there were many Heaven And Earth Treasures in the depths but being unable to reach them made Ye Chen feel very uncomfortable.

And so...

Ye Chen stood on his tiptoes and cautiously walked toward the depths of the Cloud Domain Space. It felt... like a thief entering a luxurious room, looking around in all directions.

His eyes were like a radar, constantly scanning the surroundings in search of Heaven And Earth Treasures.

However... as he delved deeper into the Cloud Domain Space, the surrounding white mist became increasingly dense. The white mist itself was composed of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which meant that the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the depths of the Cloud Domain Space was even richer.

But this also brought some significant trouble to Ye Chen. The mist formed by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi effectively blocked his field of vision.

Even with his seventh-layer Viscera Tempering cultivation, his maximum visibility was only about five meters.

Ye Chen walked cautiously, but he had yet to discover the scent of any Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Until...

A fluctuation of energy attracted Ye Chen, and he quickly looked in that direction.

But as he turned his head, he saw a wolf face right in front of him.

Subsequently, Ye Chen saw the true appearance behind that wolf face.

This was clearly... a giant pitch-black wolf!

The giant wolf emitted a powerful aura accompanied by a sense of tyranny. Upon seeing Ye Chen, the black giant wolf instantly opened its mouth, and a foul stench immediately rushed toward him.

When the giant wolf’s aura flared, Ye Chen knew this was a third-order Vicious Beast.

He instantly fell into silence.

”Brother Wolf, if I say this is a misunderstanding, would you believe me?”

After a moment of silence, Ye Chen forced a smile and spoke to the black giant wolf.

However, the giant wolf seemed to understand Ye Chen’s words, and its ferocious face even revealed a smirk-like expression.

It seemed to be considering how to deal with the fellow in front of it.

But in the next instant...

Ye Chen’s figure instantly turned into a series of afterimages, rushing toward the outer perimeter at high speed.

Three Thousand Wind Shadow Steps at the Perfection level!

In just the blink of an eye, he had actually pulled a distance of a full hundred meters away from the black wolf.

This scene caused even the black wolf’s human-like face to momentarily freeze in shock.

Then the black wolf flew into a rage and prepared to give chase, but unfortunately, it could no longer even see Ye Chen’s figure.

While the white mist blocked Ye Chen’s vision, it also blocked the black wolf’s vision.

Seeing Ye Chen suddenly disappear, a look of annoyance also surged onto the black wolf’s face.

Awoooo!!!

The black wolf’s unwilling roar echoed through the Cloud Domain Space.

...

The outer perimeter of the Cloud Domain Space.

Ye Chen sat on the trunk of an ancient tree, panting, his eyes looking toward the depths of the Cloud Domain Space with some hostility.

”Fortunately, this young master’s Three Thousand Wind Shadow Steps has reached Perfection; otherwise, encountering a third-order Vicious Beast would mean certain death!”

”Black wolf, right? This young master will remember you!”

”I can’t beat you this time, but next time... if this young master doesn’t knock your brains out, my last name isn’t Ye!”

Ye Chen said fiercely.

Ye Chen was a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

However, the scene he experienced today also caused Ye Chen to lose the idea of exploring the depths of the Cloud Domain Space. After all, the depths... were ultimately still too dangerous for the current Ye Chen.

”The outer perimeter it is. Anyway, it won’t be long before this young master can break through to the third order!”

Ye Chen glared once more in the direction of the Cloud Domain Space’s depths, then took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and began to Cultivate in the outer perimeter.

...

Half a month passed by.

Many members of the Jiangnan Training Camp suddenly discovered a strange thing.

Ye Chen, who clearly used to come to challenge the Ink Dragon Tower every day without fail, had shown no activity for the next ten or so days.

There wasn’t even any news about him, as if the person named Ye Chen no longer existed in the Jiangnan Training Camp.

This change also made many members of the Jiangnan Training Camp feel a bit unaccustomed.

They had already adapted to Ye Chen challenging the Ink Dragon Tower every day, but suddenly, Ye Chen stopped coming and didn’t even appear in everyone’s sight.

This also caused quite a few members of the Jiangnan Training Camp to be somewhat puzzled.

However, although there were no more legends of Ye Chen in the training camp, some major events did occur.

First was Yang Bufan’s successful Breakthrough to the third order, becoming the third Prodigy of the Jiangnan Training Camp to clear the seventh floor.

This scene instantly caused those who felt that Ye Chen might defeat Yang Bufan after a week to change their minds.

”Yang Bufan has actually reached the third order. He’s already the third third-order in our Jiangnan Training Camp. Tsk tsk, the next few days will be interesting.”

”I wonder if Ye Chen is Yang Bufan’s match.”

”I think it’s unlikely. Although Ye Chen cleared the sixth floor, clearing the seventh floor is not that easy. After all, even Yang Bufan only cleared the seventh floor after breaking through to the third order.”

”And haven’t you seen that Ye Chen hasn’t appeared for these two weeks? Maybe this guy hit a Bottleneck in his cultivation and is still stuck at that Realm!”

”True!”

Discussions were everywhere throughout the training camp.

Aside from Yang Bufan’s success in clearing the seventh floor, the other major event involved Murong Qing.

This Prodigy from the Murong Family, who arrived at the Jiangnan Training Camp one day earlier than Ye Chen, also successfully cleared the fifth floor of the Ink Dragon Tower within these three weeks.

Although this result was much slower compared to Ye Chen, looking at this year’s Jiangnan Training Camp, it could already be considered very monstrous.

As a result, Murong Qing’s name was now quite famous throughout the entire Jiangnan Training Camp.

Coupled with Murong Qing’s appearance, she received the admiration of countless Jiangnan Training Camp members.

Some even compared Murong Qing with Kong Jie; aside from strength, Murong Qing unilaterally crushed Kong Jie.

In addition to that... another major event was Yan Chunqiu clearing the eighth floor of the Ink Dragon Tower and successfully entering the ninth floor.

This scene shocked many members of the Jiangnan Training Camp even more.

After all, among all the previous members of the Jiangnan Training Camp, those who could clear the eighth floor were few and far between.

In the previous year, only one person in the Jiangnan Training Camp had cleared the eighth floor.

Everyone was looking forward to whether Yan Chunqiu could clear the ninth floor before the College Entrance Examination.

If he succeeded, Yan Chunqiu would also become a Prodigy who could rank in the top ten since the establishment of the Jiangnan Training Camp!

...

At this moment, within the Cloud Domain Space.

Ye Chen’s figure sat quietly in an open space on the outer perimeter of the Cloud Domain Space.

An extremely powerful aura whistled out from Ye Chen’s body, as if stirring up waves.

A faint blood-qi surrounded Ye Chen’s body, like armor enveloping him.

In the next moment, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

”Tenth-layer Viscera Tempering!”

As Ye Chen spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then the System panel appeared in his field of vision.

【name: Ye Chen】

【cultivation: Viscera Tempering Martial Artist (90/100)】

【Xuan Tan Breathing Method: (99/100)】

【Three Thousand Wind Shadow Steps: (99/100)】

【Nine Heavens Cloud Piercing Sword: (99/100)】

【Sword Aura: Major Achievement (99/100)】

”Sword Aura... has also been raised to the limit.”

Looking at the System panel before him, Ye Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.

”I thought that after the Sword Aura reached Perfection, it would automatically step into the Sword Light Realm, but now it seems... just like the Breathing Technique and martial movement techniques, it needs some kind of opportunity to step into the next Realm.”

”But it doesn’t matter. Right now, I...”

”Although I’ve only just entered the tenth layer of Viscera Tempering, I can defeat even third-order Vicious Beasts or Martial Artists.”

The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled up slightly.

A tenth-layer Viscera Tempering with a perfected third-order Breathing Technique was enough to make Ye Chen’s blood-qi power comparable to some first-layer or even second-layer Bone Forging Martial Artists.

Coupled with perfected third-order Martial Arts and movement techniques, ordinary third-layer Bone Forging Martial Artists would be no match for Ye Chen.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen slowly stretched his back, his bones letting out a series of crackling sounds.

”It’s a pity there are only two days a week; otherwise, even without taking a Tier 3 Breakthrough Pill, I could step into the Bone Forging Realm!”

”As for now... I might as well use it!”

As Ye Chen spoke, he took out that Tier 3 Breakthrough Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, an extremely intense blood-qi power surged into Ye Chen’s body.

Ye Chen hurriedly operated the Xuan Tan Breathing Method, channeling this extremely dense blood-qi power toward his bones.

Immediately, Ye Chen felt an itchy sensation coming from all the bones in his body.

He didn’t know how long this feeling lasted, but then a surging blood-qi actually gushed out directly from Ye Chen’s bone marrow, feeding back into his body.

At this moment, the aura within Ye Chen’s body also emitted an even more terrifying presence.

”Bone Forging Realm, it’s finally done!”

Ye Chen opened his eyes, with a faint blood-red light flashing within them.

With a thought, the System panel surfaced again.

【name: Ye Chen】

【cultivation: Bone Forging Martial Artist (1/100)】

【Xuan Tan Breathing Method: (99/100)】

【Three Thousand Wind Shadow Steps: (99/100)】

【Nine Heavens Cloud Piercing Sword: (99/100)】

【Sword Aura: Major Achievement (99/100)】

Sure enough, in the cultivation column of the System panel, it had changed from the previous Viscera Tempering Martial Artist to the current Bone Forging Martial Artist.

”Third order... if I return to Jiang City, I’m afraid I could be considered a local tyrant.”

Ye Chen smiled slightly.

”But if placed in the entire Great Xia, the third order is just standing at the starting point of the Martial Dao. Only by stepping into the fourth order... can one truly have a place in the Martial Dao!”
