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

95: The Bone Guard, the power of annihilation, the excited sword intent!Outside the Barren Bone Fortress, dust flew everywhere.

The ground trembled slightly, as if some massive creature was stomping on it, causing dust to rise across the entire world.

”This is...”

Ye Chen’s brows twitched slightly as he looked at Gu Yunfei beside him.

”This should be the Vicious Beast invasion!”

Gu Yunfei opened his eyes, glanced indifferently, yawned, and said, ”Yes, it’s an invasion.”

Although he said that, Ye Chen looked at Gu Yunfei’s demeanor and found it strange.

”Why are you so calm when the Vicious Beasts are invading?”

Ye Chen was a bit puzzled. Gu Yunfei appeared to be only at the Fifth-Stage cultivation. With Ye Chen’s current Five-Layer Lock cultivation, although he couldn’t see through Gu Yunfei’s true condition, he could sense that Gu Yunfei’s cultivation wasn’t much stronger than his own.

But the other party... didn’t show any worry.

”What’s there to worry about? I experience this every day, I’m used to it!”

Gu Yunfei said with a chuckle, then walked to the black stone and injected his Qi and blood into the stele.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

A series of hums echoed between heaven and earth, accompanied by a pillar of light that shot up into the sky from the Beacon Tower, piercing through the clouds.

The entire Barren Bone Garrison could see that pillar of light soaring into the sky.

It was incredibly dazzling.

”Alright, it’s done. Just wait for people to come and deal with these Vicious Beasts!”

After doing all this, Gu Yunfei clapped his hands and said nonchalantly.

Ye Chen’s brows twitched slightly as he looked at Gu Yunfei: ”That simple?”

”Otherwise?”

”Alright, alright, go rest. It’s just a small Vicious Beast tide. Those guys from the Barren Bone Guard will handle it themselves.”

Gu Yunfei patted Ye Chen’s shoulder, then sat down nearby, closed his eyes directly, and started Cultivating at the Beacon Tower.

Ye Chen watched this scene, then shifted his gaze to the battlefield ahead.

As time passed, Ye Chen finally saw groups of Vicious Beasts breaking through the flying dust. In an instant, a surge of Evil Qi permeated the entire battlefield.

These Vicious Beasts... were completely different from the Vicious Beasts Ye Chen had encountered before.

Ye Chen had experienced beast tides before.

He had experienced a First-Stage Vicious Beast tide with Murong Qing in the newly formed Another Dimension in Jiangcheng, and later, during the third round of the College Entrance Examination’s practical test, he experienced the Vicious Beast tide of the Blazing Fire Dimension.

However, the previous Vicious Beast tides were not on the same level compared to the current one.

If the Vicious Beast tides he experienced before were like a ragtag army, then the small Vicious Beast tide in the Barren Bone Space, as Gu Yunfei called it... was like an elite army, charging towards the Barren Bone Fortress.

”These Vicious Beasts... seem to be commanded. This method of charging is similar to our ancient Formation!”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the Vicious Beast tide ahead.

And at this moment, figures instantly rose into the air from behind the Barren Bone Fortress. A powerful aura emanated from each person.

The weakest among them... had at least the Seventh-Layer Lock cultivation.

Those figures, dressed in gray robes, looked indifferently at the charging Vicious Beast tide.

The leader held a battle saber, and an extremely powerful aura surged from his body.

”Charging into my Barren Bone Fortress, who gave you the guts!”

A low shout came from the person’s mouth.

In an instant, that person stepped forward, standing in mid-air. The battle saber in his hand whistled out instantly at this moment.

Boom boom boom!!!

A black saber light suddenly appeared, carrying an extremely strong Evil Qi.

In an instant, it landed among the Vicious Beast tide.

In just a fleeting moment, one could see that the surging beast tide was instantly slaughtered an unknown number of times under this saber light.

”Hmm?”

Ye Chen’s brows twitched slightly, and he couldn’t help but look at the leader.

At this moment... Gu Yunfei, who had been closing his eyes, preparing to Cultivate, also opened his eyes and slowly said, ”Murong Tianyang, three years ago he signed an earth-level contract with Star River Academy, and last year, he was promoted from an earth-level contract to an earth-level contract.”

”He currently serves as the captain of the Barren Bone Guard in the Barren Bone Space, with an 8th Rank Golden Body cultivation!”

Listening to Gu Yunfei’s words, a hint of surprise appeared in Ye Chen’s eyes.

”8th Rank Golden Body?”

The Sixth-Stage of martial arts is called the Golden Body Realm!

A strong person at this Realm could be considered a pillar of the Great Xia, and even qualified to become a high-ranking official in a provincial capital of the Great Xia.

And the other party looked to be only in his twenties, yet he already possessed the 8th Rank Golden Body cultivation.

Such talent... was a Prodigy.

”Is the Barren Bone Guard... also composed of students from our Star River Academy?”

Ye Chen asked.

Gu Yunfei nodded, a hint of envy in his eyes as he looked at the figures in gray robes.

”In the various Another Dimensions of my Star River Academy, there are exclusive guard teams for these Another Dimensions. In the Barren Bone Space, they are called the Barren Bone Guard. To join these guard teams, one must have at least the Seventh-Layer Lock cultivation.”

”This is only for a Level 7 Alien Space. If it’s in an Level 8 Alien Dimension, the minimum requirement for the guard team is the Golden Body Realm.”

”As for the Ninth-Level Alien Space... the minimum requirement is above the Seventh-Rank Golden Body, and to become the captain of a Ninth-Level Alien Space guard team... one needs to have an Eighth-Stage cultivation.”

”Oh, by the way, your mentor used to be the captain of the guard team in the Ninth-Level Alien Space suppressed by our Star River Academy.”

Listening to Gu Yunfei’s explanation, Ye Chen nodded understandingly, then asked.

”Are there any benefits to joining these guard teams?”

At this, a look of longing appeared in Gu Yunfei’s eyes: ”The benefits are huge. Joining a guard team, even the lowest-level Level 7 Alien Space guard team, regular members receive a monthly subsidy of 20,000 academic credits. Furthermore, members of the guard team can purchase resources obtained from this Another Dimension at half price.”

”Besides that, joining a guard team requires applying to the Martial Alliance. It can be said that joining a guard team means becoming a front-line combatant recorded by the Martial Alliance. In addition to the Star River Academy’s subsidy, there’s also the Martial Alliance’s subsidy, allowing entry into the Martial Alliance’s merit System.”

”Hehe, as for the Martial Alliance’s merit System, that’s something else entirely.”

”You probably don’t know the martial arts Realm and cultivation Technique after the Seventh-Stage yet, do you?”

Gu Yunfei chuckled, speaking to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was stunned. Hearing Gu Yunfei mention it, Ye Chen suddenly realized that he still didn’t know what the Realm after the Sixth-Stage was called.

Let alone the cultivation Technique.

”Don’t look at the Nine Stages of martial arts, but the names of the Seventh to Ninth Stages are not publicly disclosed. Firstly, reaching this Realm is not something ordinary people can do. Even in our Star River Academy, those who can Cultivate to the Seventh-Stage are very few.”

”Otherwise... it wouldn’t be possible to have Sixth-Stage strong people serving as mentors.”

”Secondly, I’ve heard that the cultivation after the Sixth-Stage is different, and even the cultivation resources are different from those below the Seventh-Stage. And those cultivation resources and cultivation Techniques are all under the jurisdiction of the Martial Alliance, of course, also for reasons of guarding against the Scarlet Church.”

”However, I don’t know how the people of the Scarlet Church manage it. Even though they are already under the jurisdiction of the Martial Alliance, the people of the Scarlet Church can still Cultivate to above the Seventh-Stage. It should be related to the Ferocious Beast Faction.”

Gu Yunfei spoke to himself.

”And entering the Martial Alliance’s merit System allows one to know the cultivation Realm after the Sixth-Stage, and even the cultivation Technique. One can accumulate merits to improve their status within the Martial Alliance.”

”You know about the thirty-six Inspectors and twelve Garrison Envoys, right? That stuff not only requires strength but also merits.”

Listening to Gu Yunfei’s words, Ye Chen finally understood.

”So that’s how it is. No wonder these Star River Academy students join the guard teams. This isn’t wasting cultivation time, but entering the merit System to exchange for cultivation Techniques after the Seventh-Stage, as well as cultivation resources.”

”However... with the System’s existence, I probably don’t need the cultivation Technique after the Seventh-Stage, right? After all, my current Breathing Technique is already at the Sixth-Stage, and the next step is to Breakthrough to the Seventh-Stage.”

Ye Chen thought to himself.

”I don’t know when the upgrade conditions will be triggered, but there’s no hurry. I’m only at the Fifth-Stage right now.”

Ye Chen thought of this, and a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, the Vicious Beasts on the battlefield had also been slaughtered by the strong individuals of the Barren Bone Guard.

However, after these Vicious Beasts were slain, Ye Chen could clearly see a wisp of gray airflow rising from the corpses of these Vicious Beasts, eventually disappearing into the world.

”Hmm? Those gray airflows...”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, staring intently at the gray airflow that disappeared into the world.

Gu Yunfei beside him glanced and said indifferently, ”The Vicious Beasts in the Barren Bone Space have certain peculiarities. According to the mentors in our academy, these Vicious Beasts are all born in a place called the Land of Barren Bones deep within the Barren Bone Space. The Land of Barren Bones is filled with power of annihilation, so these Vicious Beasts naturally become contaminated with it upon birth.”

”These gray airflows are actually just the power of annihilation!”

”Power... of annihilation?”

Ye Chen blinked, but at this moment, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted a few points.

Simply because, in Ye Chen’s vision, a line of text slowly appeared.

”[Annihilation power detected, Sword Intent is extremely excited, eager to devour...]”
