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

93: Ye Chen, who was cursing, defended the fortress!“Barren Bone Space…”

Ye Chen slowly arrived at the entrance of the Barren Bone Space. He could see several students wearing Star River Academy uniforms guarding the Another Dimension passage, exuding powerful Qi.

At Star River Academy, to earn academic credits, one could either guard Another Dimensions, clear out Vicious Beasts, or take on tasks issued by the Academy.

Among these, guarding Another Dimension passages was also posted on the Academy’s task board.

It was a task that offered an easy and fast way to earn academic credits.

However, the requirements for taking on such tasks were also very high. For example, to guard a Level 7 Alien Space passage, the minimum requirement was to have a cultivation of Tier 6.

Or a combat power of Tier 6.

After all, if something unexpected happened in a Level 7 Alien Space, ordinary Martial Artists would find it very difficult to do anything, and only Tier 6 Martial Artists could barely resolve some troubles.

“Who goes there!”

As Ye Chen appeared, the eyes of those Star River Academy students instantly fell upon Ye Chen, with sharp gazes.

However, after clearly seeing Ye Chen, their expressions relaxed considerably.

“Oh, it’s Junior Apprentice Ye Chen!”

A Tier 6 senior said with a chuckle.

“Junior just entered our Star River Academy, and he’s already going to guard Another Dimension?”

With this year’s College Entrance Examination, Ye Chen’s fame was extremely well-known throughout Great Xia. Even in a place like Star River Academy, where Prodigies gathered, Ye Chen’s name was widely recognized.

So, it wasn’t strange that they recognized Ye Chen.

“Guard Another Dimension?”

Ye Chen was startled.

“Weren’t they all cleared out? Do they still need guarding?”

Upon hearing this, the several Tier 6 seniors exchanged glances, and then their expressions became strange.

“Could it be… Teacher Li didn’t tell you… that students of our Star River Academy must guard Another Dimension for a period each month? This is the responsibility of our Star River Academy students!”

At these words, Ye Chen’s expression gradually grew even stranger.

“Damn! I knew why that old bastard was smiling so happily; turns out this isn’t for Cultivating in Another Dimension!”

Ye Chen finally realized it at this moment. When he heard Li Chengfeng say it was only for a week, he thought it was a week of Cultivating time in a suppressed Another Dimension. He thought Star River Academy was quite sly, playing word games with him.

But he didn’t expect… he had misunderstood it.

“Oh no, oh no, a perfectly good week, why did my mouth… have to say half a month!”

Ye Chen was very distressed now. Suppressed Another Dimensions and unsuppressed Another Dimensions were not the same. Although the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was the same.

But… in an unsuppressed Another Dimension, where would there be so much time for you to Cultivate?

All the time would be wasted on fending off Vicious Beast invasions.

“Damn!”

Ye Chen cursed.

“Li Chengfeng, that bastard, he tricked me!”

Watching Ye Chen curse to himself, the several Tier 6 seniors fell silent.

“No way, is this guy really that bold? How dare he curse Teacher Li like that? Doesn’t he know that Teacher Li has the worst temper in our Star River Academy?”

“Forget it, forget it, he’s Teacher Li’s student anyway, what does it have to do with us?”

The several Tier 6 seniors whispered among themselves, then one of them said to Ye Chen, “Junior, please hand over your identity wristband for us to verify.”

By now, Ye Chen couldn’t back out. After all, Li Chengfeng had already entered an Level 8 Alien Dimension to guard it.

If he failed to complete this task, he would be punished by Star River Academy.

Light punishment would be a deduction of academic credits, while severe punishment could be direct dismissal.

“Damn you, Li Chengfeng…”

Ye Chen handed his wristband to the seniors guarding the passage, muttering curses.

The corners of the mouths of the several Tier 6 seniors twitched incessantly, but after seeing the amount of time Ye Chen needed to guard, they finally understood why Ye Chen was cursing.

“Half a month! If it were me, I’d be cursing too. I’d rather Cultivate with that time!”

A Tier 6 senior shook his head, verified the information, returned it to Ye Chen, and then admonished, “Junior Apprentice Ye Chen, once you enter the Level 7 Alien Space, you must stay for fifteen days. Otherwise, it will be considered an early departure, and you will have a certain amount of academic credits deducted.”

Ye Chen nodded numbly. He didn’t want to curse anymore; he just wanted to kill someone.

“After entering Another Dimension, you need to report to our Star River Academy’s front line. Someone will arrange your guarding location then. The first time might be a bit uncomfortable…”

After all, Ye Chen’s talent was evident, and even these Tier 6 seniors wanted to build a good relationship with Ye Chen, so they gave him many instructions.

One must know… even with their Tier 6 cultivation, they were considered top-tier Prodigies in all of Great Xia, yet when they first entered Star River Academy, they were only Tier 4.

Someone like Ye Chen, who entered Star River Academy already as a Tier 5 Prodigy… had never appeared before.

“Mm-hm!”

Ye Chen nodded, then, with a feeling of wanting to cry but having no tears, he walked into the Another Dimension passage.

In an instant, his vision gradually blurred, and a familiar sensation of dizziness came over him, slowly dissipating after a moment.

Immediately after, a camp came into Ye Chen’s sight.

“Huh?”

Ye Chen looked at the camps rising from the ground before him, and at the very front of the camp, there was also a magnificent steel city wall. He couldn’t help but be stunned.

This was the first time Ye Chen had seen such a scene.

Although Ye Chen had entered Another Dimensions before, it was his first time entering a Level 7 Alien Space. In fact… it was also his first time seeing a place within Another Dimension that was comparable to a small city.

“What’s going on?”

Ye Chen looked at the scene before him, even wondering if he had come to the wrong Another Dimension.

However, after sensing the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, Ye Chen was certain that this was the Barren Bone Space.

After all, the concentration of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth… was even richer than before in Li Chengfeng’s small courtyard.

“Hmm? Newcomer? Are you Ye Chen??”

At this moment, a passing Star River Academy student noticed Ye Chen, his eyes lighting up.

“First time entering the Barren Bone Space, right? Come with me, I’ll give you a good introduction and take you to report!”

This Star River Academy student spoke to Ye Chen with great enthusiasm.

“Ah? Oh!”

Ye Chen followed somewhat bewildered.

“My name is Gu Yunfei. I entered Star River Academy three years before you. Let me first introduce you to the situation of our Star River Academy’s Another Dimensions!”

Gu Yunfei seemed to be a very talkative person. As he led Ye Chen in a certain direction, he spoke.

“You should rarely see this scene in other Another Dimensions.”

“Level 7 Alien Space is already considered an Advanced Another Dimension. Numerous Tier 7 Vicious Beasts are active here, and the situation is extremely complex. Cleaning them out is no simple matter.”

“Therefore… our Star River Academy has established a defensive fortress within this Another Dimension, which is the scene you see before you.”

Gu Yunfei explained.

Ye Chen scratched his head and said, “Could it be… that Star River Academy can’t even suppress a Level 7 Alien Space? And they still need to build a defensive fortress here?”

This was something Ye Chen couldn’t understand. Clearly, Star River Academy had Ninth-Order Experts guarding it, and so many Special Tier 8 Instructors. If Level 8 Alien Dimensions and Ninth-Level Alien Spaces couldn’t be suppressed, Ye Chen could still understand, but a Level 7 Alien Space… Gu Yunfei smiled and said, “When I first came in and saw this scene, I had the same thought as you, but… unfortunately, that’s just the reality!”

As Gu Yunfei spoke, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by a look of solemnity.

“You’ve just joined Star River Academy, and there are many things you don’t understand yet. Of course, I only have a partial understanding myself. What I currently know is…”

“All the Another Dimensions that our Star River Academy needs to suppress are actually just one Another Dimension, which was forcefully divided into several Another Dimensions by the first headmaster of our Star River Academy, using his supreme power, thus alleviating most of the pressure.”

At these words, Ye Chen’s pupils couldn’t help but constrict slightly.

One Another Dimension? Divided into several different Another Dimensions?

Doesn’t that mean… Ye Chen thought of what Li Chengfeng had told him at the time: Star River Academy was suppressing one Ninth-Level Alien Space, three Level 8 Alien Dimensions, and nine Level 7 Alien Spaces!

Doesn’t this mean… these thirteen Another Dimensions are actually just one Another Dimension divided into thirteen parts?

If that’s the case… how terrifying must that original Another Dimension have been?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen finally understood why Star River Academy only occupied a portion of the imperial capital yet needed to guard so many Another Dimensions.

According to the distribution pattern of Another Dimensions, it was impossible for multiple Another Dimensions to emerge in the same region.

But if what Gu Yunfei said was true, one Another Dimension divided into thirteen Another Dimensions, then that could be explained.

“And precisely because of this… even within a Level 7 Alien Space… it’s very possible for Tier 8, or even Tier 9, Vicious Beasts to descend.”

Gu Yunfei’s voice slowly rang out at this moment, carrying a hint of solemnity.

“So, by now you should know why these Level 7 Alien Spaces have established defensive fortresses, right!”

Listening to Gu Yunfei’s words, Ye Chen nodded with a solemn expression.

If that were the case, establishing defensive fortresses would not be a waste of resources; everything… would be for safety considerations.
