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

92: Come, go and kill Ye Chen“It really doesn’t last long!”

Ye Chen sighed with emotion. He had thought that 10,000 academic credits were a lot, after all, Star River Academy’s academic credits were not comparable to Jiangnan Training Camp’s points.

If calculated by value, one academic credit from Star River Academy was even worth ten points, or even more than ten points, from Jiangnan Training Camp.

However… as Ye Chen’s cultivation improved, and the Martial Arts and Breathing Technique became higher Rank, it also required more resources for Ye Chen to improve.

“It seems… I still need to earn academic credits.”

“That old geezer’s Number One Sword Art Under Heaven, I still need to learn it. Although this guy doesn’t seem to have any real ability, since the Dean said so, it means he still has his merits.”

“Since this old geezer claims it’s the Number One Sword Art Under Heaven… it must be a top-tier sword art. Although my sword art can be upgraded through the System, I don’t know when that will happen. Learning a top-tier sword art in advance is also a good thing!”

“Top thousand in the monthly exam, huh…”

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then stood up and stretched, already having a certain idea.

“It seems I need to go to that Level 7 Alien Space. After all, every month… I still have fifteen days, and I can Cultivate there as well.”

As Ye Chen spoke, he had already pushed open his door and walked towards a Level 7 Alien Space in Star River Academy.

Within Star River Academy, there were a total of nine Level 7 Alien Spaces that needed to be guarded. The one Ye Chen was heading to was the closest Level 7 Alien Space to him.

Named… Barren Bone Space!

...Great Xia, on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, in a hidden space.

The Scarlet Lord’s figure sat at the head of a round table, and around him were figures also clad in scarlet robes, each exuding an extremely powerful Qi fluctuation.

“Ye Chen…”

The Scarlet Lord held a file on Ye Chen in his hand, and a faint glow flickered in his eyes.

Looking at Ye Chen’s file, the Scarlet Lord fell silent.

He had never expected that a mere College Entrance Examination candidate could disrupt his plans and completely foil them.

Even… because of the failure of this plan, the Scarlet Church suffered a severe blow from the Martial Alliance.

If it weren’t for some of their undercover agents within the Martial Alliance, they might have been utterly destroyed by the Martial Alliance this time.

But even so… several undercover agents hidden within the Martial Alliance were exposed, one of whom had even entered the high-level circles.

It could be said… the Scarlet Church suffered heavy losses this time.

“This guy… must be killed!”

The Scarlet Lord looked at Ye Chen’s file, and a strong killing intent surged in his eyes.

Whether it was because Ye Chen disrupted his plans, causing the Scarlet Church heavy losses, or Ye Chen’s terrifying talent… he must be killed in advance, cut down in the cradle.

“This child’s talent is extremely Prodigious. Once he grows up, he might even become a first-rate expert of Great Xia in just a few years.”

The Scarlet Lord’s gaze swept over the Scarlet Church members, carrying a ruthless expression.

“Now that Ye Chen has entered Star River Academy, it will be even more difficult to kill him, Left Protector!”

As the Scarlet Lord’s voice sounded, to the left of the Scarlet Lord, a figure of extremely tall stature, whose appearance was obscured by the scarlet robe, slowly stood up.

“Here!”

A low voice echoed in the space, making the atmosphere of the entire space somewhat oppressive.

“I’m entrusting this matter to you. I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

The Scarlet Lord looked at him calmly.

“After it’s done… I can give you an Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Pillar of the Nation battle power!”

A fervent look appeared in the Left Protector’s eyes, and he immediately said without hesitation.

“Yes!”

...Scarlet Church, at one of its strongholds.

The Imperial Capital Branch Leader of the Scarlet Church was currently kneeling before a blood-red crystal.

As the Imperial Capital’s Branch Leader, his strength was far greater than that of any other Branch Leader in the Scarlet Church, even comparable to an envoy of the Scarlet Church.

Within the Scarlet Church, the Scarlet Lord was naturally the strongest, even capable of competing with a Great Xia Pillar of the Nation.

Below the Scarlet Lord were the Left and Right Protectors, both possessing Ninth-Order cultivation, and even among Ninth-Order Experts, their strength was not weak.

Below the Left and Right Protectors were the envoys of the Scarlet Church, who were responsible for inspecting the various branches of the Scarlet Church. They generally had Eighth-Order cultivation, with only a small number possessing peak Seventh-Order battle power, equivalent to the Martial Alliance’s Inspector.

Further down… were the Branch Leaders.

The strength of Branch Leaders varied, depending on whether the area they were responsible for was prosperous.

As the Imperial Capital’s Branch Leader, he commanded all other Branch Leaders of the Scarlet Church, and his strength was comparable to an envoy of the Scarlet Church, possessing Eighth-Order cultivation.

At this moment, he was half-kneeling before the blood-red crystal, appearing extremely respectful and devout.

And within the blood-red crystal, the Left Protector’s figure slowly emerged. He looked at the Branch Leader and said indifferently: “I’m giving you a mission. Kill Ye Chen at all costs!”

“That Ye Chen is nothing more than a Fifth-Rank junior. You, an Eighth-Rank expert… don’t tell me you can’t do it!”

The Branch Leader frowned slightly.

Although that was what he said, Ye Chen was currently in Star River Academy, and it wouldn’t be easy to kill him.

Star River Academy… had a Ninth-Order Expert guarding it.

Just as he hesitated, the Left Protector’s voice slowly sounded at this moment.

“I remember you’ve been stuck at Eighth-Rank for a long time, haven’t you!”

At these words, the Branch Leader suddenly looked up at the Left Protector.

The Left Protector’s voice was full of temptation.

“After it’s done… I’ll give you an Opportunity to Breakthrough to Ninth-Rank!”

In an instant, a fervent expression appeared on the Branch Leader’s face.

“I am willing to die for the Church!”

Hearing this, the Left Protector also showed a satisfied expression, and his figure slowly dissipated within the blood-red crystal.

As the Left Protector’s figure dissipated, the Branch Leader slowly stood up, walked out of the room containing the blood-red crystal, and entered a large hall.

In the hall, there were Scarlet Church members dressed in scarlet robes. Under the Branch Leader’s gaze, they all involuntarily lowered their heads.

The Branch Leader’s gaze swept over them, finally landing on one person.

“Song Zhifei!”

“Here!”

A member dressed in a scarlet robe stepped forward, respectfully looking at the Branch Leader before him.

“The Jiangnan Province branch was destroyed by the Martial Alliance. Logically, you shouldn’t be able to bear this responsibility, right!”

The Branch Leader narrowed his eyes, looking at Song Zhifei before him.

Indeed… Song Zhifei was the Scarlet Church’s Branch Leader stationed in Jiangnan Province.

It was just that because the Jiangnan Martial Alliance had inexplicably attacked the Scarlet Church before, even accurately locating the Scarlet Church’s various strongholds in Jiangnan Province.

They had forcibly driven the Scarlet Church out of Jiangnan Province.

Although Song Zhifei escaped, after arriving in the Imperial Capital, he was not well-regarded within the Scarlet Church due to this reason.

Song Zhifei’s face showed a bitter smile: “Branch Leader, I…”

“Alright, I don’t want to hear your explanation. Now I’m giving you a chance to atone for your sins and prove yourself!”

The Branch Leader waved his hand indifferently.

Song Zhifei’s eyes lit up, and he immediately expressed excitedly: “Branch Leader, please speak! Even if I, Song Zhifei, am pulverized, I will complete the Opportunity you give me!”

The Branch Leader smiled faintly: “Then go and take care of Ye Chen!”

Song Zhifei: ???

In an instant, Song Zhifei’s expression immediately became extremely stiff, so much so that his smile, at this moment, appeared extremely discordant.

“Me? Go kill Ye Chen?”

Song Zhifei pointed to himself, looking at the Branch Leader with a bewildered expression.

Are you kidding me!

I’m just a Branch Leader, and from a godforsaken place like Jiangnan Province at that. I’m only Fifth-Rank even now.

You’re telling me to go to Star River Academy and kill a Fifth-Rank Prodigy?

Isn’t this clearly sending me to my death?

Song Zhifei cursed under his breath.

The Branch Leader said indifferently: “Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to die in vain. As a student of Star River Academy, Ye Chen will certainly enter Another Dimension. Don’t forget… what is our Scarlet Church best at?”

“Digging holes? Using backdoors?”

Song Zhifei said cautiously.

The Branch Leader’s face darkened: “What the hell is ‘digging holes’ and ‘using backdoors’? Can’t you be more civilized? That’s opening new passages!”

“Don’t worry, there are our people lurking in those Another Dimensions of Star River Academy. As long as Ye Chen appears in Another Dimension, you just need to take care of him in Another Dimension.”

“Anyway, there are countless Vicious Beasts in Another Dimension. If you do it cleanly, even if Ye Chen dies, they won’t suspect it was us.”

“I remember you should be about to Breakthrough to Sixth-Rank, right?”

The Branch Leader said meaningfully to Song Zhifei: “As long as you complete this mission, I’ll give you an Opportunity to Breakthrough to Sixth-Rank!”

At these words, Song Zhifei’s breathing immediately became fervent.

Even as a Branch Leader of the Scarlet Church, Song Zhifei’s talent was limited. Fifth-Rank was already his limit. Without an Opportunity, it would be almost impossible for him to Breakthrough to Sixth-Rank.

But now… the Branch Leader had actually given him an Opportunity.

In an instant, Song Zhifei was moved to tears.

“Reporting to the Branch Leader, I guarantee the completion of the mission!”

Song Zhifei shouted excitedly, his voice echoing in the hall.

Hearing this, the Branch Leader’s smile grew even wider.
