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

103: Breakthrough of the Golden Body! Deadly Sword Intent!No, how did he suddenly get a Deathly Still Crystal??

Great doubt appeared in Gu Yunfei’s small head.

He just slept, so why was Ye Chen holding such a large Deathly Still Crystal? Ye Chen didn’t have this thing on him when he went to bed last night!

Gu Yunfei was a bit dumbfounded.

”Hmm...”

At this moment, Ye Chen also opened his eyes, still drowsy. He glanced at the bewildered Gu Yunfei, rubbed his hazy eyes, and said.

”Morning, Senior Apprentice Gu!”

Gu Yunfei was silent for a moment, then pointed at the Deathly Still Crystal and said, ”So, can you tell me how this thing got here?”

Gu Yunfei felt as if he had grasped something, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Ye Chen glanced at the Deathly Still Crystal, a little flustered: ”Oh no, I forgot to put it in my Mystic Ring.”

With that, Ye Chen quickly put the Deathly Still Crystal into his Mystic Ring, revealing an innocent smile.

”Senior Apprentice Gu, what are you talking about?”

”You must not have slept well; your eyes are playing tricks on you!”

Ye Chen bluffed.

Gu Yunfei stared at Ye Chen with a deep gaze and slowly said, ”No, buddy, are you really taking me for a fool?”

Ye Chen coughed awkwardly, then seemed to remember something, and his eyes instantly brightened.

”Uh, Senior Apprentice Gu, I think my date to guard the Another Dimension is up, and my instructor told me to go home for dinner. I’m leaving now!”

After speaking, Ye Chen didn’t give Gu Yunfei much of a chance to say anything more and instantly left the lounge, walking out of the Barren Bone Space.

And Gu Yunfei, looking at Ye Chen’s departing figure, also showed a hint of envy in his eyes.

”This is the treatment for someone with good talent. If it were anyone else, how could they have left you a Deathly Still Crystal?”

Gu Yunfei smiled.

Did Gu Yunfei really not understand anything?

It’s just that some things are really not good to say directly, and using a joke is a good choice instead.

”This monthly exam, I’m afraid there will be a huge dark horse, breaking into Star River Academy!”

”I just don’t know if those guys who stand at the Peak of Star River Academy will feel anxious!”

Gu Yunfei smiled and crossed his legs, his gaze slowly looking beyond the Barren Bone Space... After coming out of the Barren Bone Space, Ye Chen returned directly to his small courtyard.

At this moment, Li Chengfeng had still not returned from the Level 8 Alien Dimension. He probably wouldn’t be back until the monthly exam.

But Ye Chen didn’t care.

He just glanced at his account and found that his academic credits had reached a terrifying one million.

Aside from guarding the Beacon Tower and killing Vicious Beasts, the bulk of it came from that Deathly Still Crystal, which directly brought Ye Chen 800,000 in income.

And it should be known that even a Rank 6 Golden Body Realm expert might not be able to earn so many academic credits in half a month.

But Ye Chen did it.

”I’m rich, I’m rich! One million academic credits, enough for me to Cultivate for a long time!”

”Perhaps... before the monthly exam, I might even Break through to Rank 6!”

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

Then, with a slight thought, the System panel slowly appeared.

[name: Ye Chen]

[cultivation: Shackled Martial Artist (76/100)]

[Ba Zhou Breathing Technique: (99/100)]

[Flowing Light Phantom Step: (99/100)]

[Silent Extinction Sword Art: (99/100)]

[Sword Intent: Evolving (1.2/100)]

Looking at the data above, Ye Chen blinked, then took out the Deathly Still Crystal, and immediately a line of text quietly appeared in Ye Chen’s field of vision.

[Deathly Still Crystal detected, do you want to devour it?]

”Yes!”

Ye Chen said without hesitation.

Then, one could see that an invisible force seemed to roar out from Ye Chen’s body, then wrapped around the Deathly Still Crystal.

Immediately afterward, the Deathly Still Crystal actually melted at a visible speed, turning into wisps of black energy that continuously surged into Ye Chen’s body.

After an unknown amount of time, a line of text slowly appeared.

[Absorbed Deathly Still Crystal, Sword Intent evolved, evolution progress 20%]

Looking at the text in front of him, bright light instantly flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes.

”It actually increased by twenty percent!!”

Ye Chen’s pupils continuously contracted.

It should be known that even killing a Rank 6 Early Stage Vicious Beast would only bring Ye Chen a progress of one percent.

And a Deathly Still Crystal, that’s twenty percent progress.

”I lost out! I lost big time!”

”If I had kept five of them, wouldn’t I have already been able to evolve into Deathly Still Sword Intent now!!”

When Ye Chen thought of the eight Deathly Still Crystals he had given away, he immediately became extremely annoyed.

However, Ye Chen also clearly knew that it was impossible for him to get his hands on Deathly Still Crystals in front of Zhao Xiong.

After all, this has strong research significance for Star River Academy.

Under such circumstances, it was already very good that Ye Chen could get one, plus 800,000 academic credits.

”Forget it, forget it, twenty percent is twenty percent. Anyway, I still have 800,000 academic credits. Let’s see if I can exchange for some treasures with Deathly Still Qi to improve my Deathly Still Sword Intent!”

Ye Chen shook his head, then opened Star River Academy’s exchange list. After entering the words ’Deathly Still Qi’ on it, item information immediately appeared in Ye Chen’s field of vision.

”Deathly Still Pill: Refined from the Deathly Still Qi in the Barren Bone Space, valued at 5,000 academic credits!”

”Deathly Still Crystal: Refined and condensed by Star River Academy from Deathly Still Crystals, with no substances harmful to the human body, valued at 120,000 academic credits!”

”...”

Looking at the items above, Ye Chen stroked his chin.

”So, the Academy took the Deathly Still Crystals, and besides research, they also refined them into Deathly Still Crystals? That makes sense. If it weren’t for the System, I wouldn’t dare to rashly absorb the energy from the Deathly Still Crystals.”

”After all, the energy within is extremely complex. If absorbed rashly, it could even affect my body and even cause irreversible damage.”

”As for the purified Deathly Still Crystal, although it’s 20,000 academic credits more expensive, the advantage is that there’s no harm. Those 20,000 academic credits are essentially a hard work fee for the Academy.”

Ye Chen said.

At this price, Star River Academy didn’t intend to rip off students; instead, it made things convenient for them.

It’s equivalent to paying 20,000 academic credits for the Academy to purify it.

But for himself, it was a bit of a rip-off.

After all, with the System, he didn’t need to spend those 20,000 academic credits!

Ye Chen felt like crying but had no tears, but the Academy also had good intentions, not allowing students to Cultivate recklessly.

”Forget it, forget it, losing 20,000 is losing 20,000. Anyway, I don’t need too much, and I still earned some!”

Ye Chen shook his head, then exchanged for four Deathly Still Crystals in one go, and his million academic credits instantly dropped to just over 500,000.

Then, Ye Chen exchanged the remaining 500,000-plus academic credits for cultivation resources, preparing for a final sprint in the last period before the monthly exam began.

”The monthly exam will face students from the entire Star River Academy, and even Rank 6 and Rank 7 instructors, and even Special Tier 8 Instructors will appear.”

”Perhaps... it will be the opportunity for my Breathing Technique and Martial Arts to advance!”

A faint glint flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes... Five days later.

In the courtyard.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, his entire body exuding an extremely powerful energy fluctuation.

In an instant, a faint golden light slowly emerged on Ye Chen’s body surface.

Immediately afterward, Ye Chen opened his eyes. If one looked closely, one could even see a wisp of golden light flickering deep within Ye Chen’s eyes.

”Rank 6 Golden Body Realm... it’s finally done!”

Ye Chen murmured softly, accompanied by an extremely powerful energy fluctuation that transformed into a storm, sweeping out from Ye Chen’s body.

A powerful pressure enveloped the entire small courtyard.

With a thought, the System panel also appeared in Ye Chen’s field of vision at this moment.

[name: Ye Chen]

[cultivation: Golden Body Warrior (1/100)]

[Ba Zhou Breathing Technique: (99/100)]

[Flowing Light Phantom Step: (99/100)]

[Silent Extinction Sword Art: (99/100)]

[Deathly Still Sword Intent: Beginner (1/100)]

”Finally stepped into the Golden Body Realm. The Golden Body Realm, even within the Jiangnan Martial Alliance, can be considered a top expert.”

”Among all the students at Star River Academy, he can definitely be considered among the top five hundred!”

”Most importantly, my Sword Intent has also successfully evolved into Deathly Still Sword Intent. The combat power that a special Sword Intent can unleash is definitely several times that of ordinary Sword Intent!”

”Now, even if I face a Three Revolution Golden Body expert, I have the power to fight!”

”Of course, it’s only against ordinary Three Revolution Golden Body. The Golden Body students of Star River Academy are not comparable to ordinary Golden Body experts from outside!”

Ye Chen looked at the System panel and couldn’t help but say, a brilliant smile appearing on his face as the System data changed... At the same time.

Star River Academy, outside a passage to an Level 8 Alien Dimension.

Li Chengfeng’s figure slowly appeared. His body was filled with a bloody aura, making Li Chengfeng look a bit more chilling.

This caused the Star River Academy students guarding outside the passage to show respectful expressions.

”Teacher Li!”

Li Chengfeng nodded slightly, then took a step and disappeared into the passage.

And the students guarding outside the passage looked at Li Chengfeng’s departing figure with envy.

”As expected of the Sword Dao Prodigy hailed as a once-in-a-century talent at our Star River Academy, Teacher Li actually killed several more Rank 8 Ferocious Beasts this month.”

”I’m afraid the Vicious Beasts in this Level 8 Alien Dimension won’t cause trouble for a while!”
