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

112: You old bitch, are you kidding me?The Sword Aura, imbued with Deathly Still Sword Intent, effortlessly swallowed Niu Ben’s body.

The terrifying power seemed to completely obliterate Niu Ben.

Instantly, the battle platform’s self-protection mechanism was activated.

Niu Ben was protected by the Sword Qi within the battle platform and was then teleported out.

The moment Niu Ben was teleported out, the data on the battle platform dropped from 500 to 480.

Evidently, while Niu Ben and Ye Chen were fighting, other sixth-rank powerhouses were also clashing on the battle platform at that moment.

As the battle between Niu Ben and Ye Chen concluded, battles in other areas also ended, and the number of participants plummeted!

At this moment, Ye Chen successfully entered the top 500 in the monthly exam!

In an instant, the Star River Academy plaza fell into an absolute silence.

Everyone stared incredulously at Ye Chen on the battle platform; Ye Chen, who they thought had lost all hope of reaching the top 500, had now, by virtue of his powerful combat strength, forcefully entered the top 500!

”Good kid!”

On the high platform, Li Chengfeng watched this scene, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.

Within the battle platform, Ye Chen stood calmly, yet he was taking deep breaths, clearly indicating that the previous sword strike had consumed a great deal of his energy.

”So... my limit should be the Three Revolution Golden Body; if I go beyond the Three Revolution Golden Body, I won’t be an opponent anymore.”

Ye Chen continuously breathed to recover his stamina, gaining a clear understanding of his current limits.

However, even so, a smile still appeared on Ye Chen’s face.

And in Ye Chen’s vision, a line of text slowly appeared at this moment.

”Shocking the crowd, Silent Extinction Sword Art advanced to Myriad Tribulations Sword Art (Seventh Rank)!”

”Host successfully entered the top 500 of the monthly exam, mission accomplished!”

”Please choose any Breathing Technique or Martial Artist to advance!”

As these lines of text appeared, the smile on Ye Chen’s face grew even wider.

”Evolve the Breathing Technique!”

Without any hesitation, Ye Chen chose to evolve his Breathing Technique.

After all... the stronger the Breathing Technique, the more terrifying the combat power Ye Chen could unleash at the same Realm.

If Ye Chen had been able to raise his Breathing Technique to the seventh rank before, he could have easily instantly killed Niu Ben, instead of having to breathe heavily after defeating him as he did now.

”Ba Zhou Breathing Technique advanced to Wu Qian Breathing Technique (Seventh Rank)!”

In an instant, another line of text flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

Immediately after, Ye Chen felt as if a fierce tiger had awakened within his body at that moment.

Roar, roar, roar!!!

A surging tiger’s roar echoed within Ye Chen’s body, radiating an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation under the agitation of his Qi and blood.

Ye Chen felt the changes in his body’s Qi and blood; the moment the Ba Zhou Breathing Technique advanced to the Wu Qian Breathing Technique, Ye Chen even felt his cultivation increase significantly at that moment.

A moment later, the aura around Ye Chen returned to normal, and a faint glow appeared in his eyes at that moment.

With a thought, the System panel slowly appeared.

”name: Ye Chen”

”cultivation: Golden Body Warrior (11/100)”

”Wu Qian Breathing Technique: Beginner (1/100)”

”Flowing Light Phantom Step: (99/100)”

”Myriad Tribulations Sword Art: Beginner (1/100)”

”Deathly Still Sword Intent: Beginner (54/100)”

”Both the Breathing Technique and the sword art have been raised to the seventh rank, and even... the advancement of the Breathing Technique has raised my cultivation from the First Revolution Golden Body to the Realm of the Second Revolution Golden Body!”

”Now... I am at least ten times stronger than before!”

”Even when facing a Fourth Revolution Golden Body powerhouse, I am confident I can suppress and kill him!”

Feeling the surging cultivation within his body, a heroic spirit emerged in Ye Chen’s eyes.

However, this heroic spirit only lasted for a very short time in Ye Chen’s heart before he returned to calmness.

”Now only the footwork hasn’t been raised to the seventh rank, but unfortunately, to raise the footwork to the seventh rank, I need to aim for the top 300.”

”Although my combat power is much higher now, aiming for the top 300... is extremely difficult!”

Ye Chen still had a clear understanding of himself.

Even though he had advanced to the Second Revolution Golden Body, to enter the top 300, he would need at least the combat power of a Fifth Revolution Golden Body or higher.

Ye Chen’s current... combat power was at most that of a Fourth Revolution Golden Body.

Unless he was extremely lucky, Ye Chen could not enter the top 300.

”But that’s good enough!”

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, then jumped directly from the battle platform.

He voluntarily gave up on continuing to challenge for a higher ranking.

This scene, however, left the Star River Academy crowd somewhat puzzled.

”It’s over already? What’s up with this guy? Doesn’t he want to challenge for a higher ranking?”

”Good heavens, he said top 500, and it’s top 500, right? Not even one more place?”

One by one, the Star River Academy students looked at Ye Chen, who casually jumped off the battle platform, and fell into silence.

For Ye Chen, the top 500 was already enough.

After all, as long as he made it into the top 500, his Breathing Technique would have advanced, and he would also receive the world’s number one sword art from Li Chengfeng.

As for the rest... for Ye Chen, it was completely useless.

To continue improving, he would have to challenge for the top 300, but Ye Chen currently had no strength to challenge for the top 300. Instead of staying here, he might as well go down and rest early.

And precisely because of this, everyone’s gaze towards Ye Chen changed once again.

”You brat, you reached the top 500 and now you’re not even willing to push further. What kind of character is that!”

Li Chengfeng chuckled and scolded him, but he didn’t really mind, just continued to preside over the monthly exam.

After Ye Chen jumped off the battle platform, he returned to the plaza, found a random spot to sit down, and waited for the monthly exam to end.

Soon, as time passed, the sixth-rank battlefield also came to a complete end.

After some more time, the seventh-rank battlefield also saw a winner emerge.

Murong Tianyang successfully defeated a senior who had just entered the seventh-rank in the seventh-rank battlefield, once again pushing this monthly exam to a climax.

However, with Ye Chen’s previous brilliance, although Murong Tianyang performed exceptionally like a Prodigy, he still couldn’t compare to Ye Chen, the ruthless individual who had broken Star River Academy’s record.

As a result, when Murong Tianyang walked out of the battle space with a smile, he found that most of the discussions were about Ye Chen.

This caused Murong Tianyang to once again make a mental note about Ye Chen in his heart.

With the end of the sixth and seventh-rank battlefields, the fifth and fourth-rank battlefields also began.

Luo Wudi, in the fifth-rank battlefield, despite only having a fourth-rank cultivation, defeated several fifth-rank Star River Academy seniors, successfully getting his ranking into the top 2000.

If it weren’t for Ye Chen, this ruthless individual, this achievement alone would have been enough to make Luo Wudi famous throughout Star River Academy.

After all, besides Ye Chen, in Star River Academy’s history, the best score for a freshman’s first monthly exam was only around 1500th place.

And Luo Wudi had directly entered the top 2000, infinitely close to that record.

It’s just a pity... the current record had been forcefully set by Ye Chen at 500th place, from the previous around 1500th place.

Becoming an unattainable peak for everyone!

One day passed quickly.

This monthly exam at Star River Academy also came to a complete end.

Ye Chen and Li Chengfeng returned to the small courtyard.

Upon returning to the small courtyard, Ye Chen eagerly rubbed his hands: ”So, teacher, the sword art... hehe!”

Li Chengfeng looked at Ye Chen’s shameless appearance, his mouth twitching for a moment, then slowly said: ”Don’t worry, I will teach it to you, but not now!”

As soon as he said this, Ye Chen immediately became restless: ”Li, are you done or not? First you made me enter the top 1000, then the top 500, and now you say ’not now’!”

”Are you f*cking playing with me!”

Ye Chen glared angrily at Li Chengfeng.

He now seriously suspected that Li Chengfeng, this old bastard, was toying with him, but he had no evidence.

Fortunately, Li Chengfeng was already used to Ye Chen’s rapid change of expression, and calmly said: ”Without a sword, how can one practice sword art well?”

”As a swordsman, you don’t even have your own sword, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a swordsman?”

Li Chengfeng’s words immediately left Ye Chen speechless.

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly remembered that he didn’t seem to have a sword that was particularly suitable for him.

Actually, this couldn’t be blamed on Ye Chen; if anyone was to blame, it was Ye Chen’s incredibly fast cultivation improvement. He would just get a sword, and before long, his cultivation would increase, requiring him to replace it with a stronger Spirit Sword.

Under such circumstances, Ye Chen eventually got lazy and stopped buying swords.

Anyway, he would have to replace it soon, and after absorbing the power of the Spirit Sword, he just became too lazy to use it.

”That can’t be blamed on me, those swords weren’t suitable for me. Who told me my talent was so awesome!”

Ye Chen said nonchalantly.

Li Chengfeng’s mouth twitched slightly. Good heavens, he wasn’t modest at all when praising himself.

But then again, Ye Chen’s displayed talent was indeed awesome.

Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng no longer dwelled on it, merely waved his hand calmly and said: ”So, before teaching you sword art, you must have a sword of your own. Only then can you better Cultivate my sword art!”

As soon as this was said, Ye Chen’s eyes immediately lit up. He took Li Chengfeng’s hand and said affectionately: ”Let’s... discuss it!”
