Supreme Sword God

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, The Path of Growth

Hua Qianxue was at the Peak of the Sea of Qi, and her flying speed was not slow either. Moreover, with her power sweeping through, she directly took Ye Chen flying in the sky!

As for Granny Rong, there’s no need to mention her. With her strong abilities, she stayed close to Hua Qianxue for protection.

As for Yu Chengguang, he had just entered the Sea of Qi Realm not long ago. Although he could fly, not long after, he was left far behind with no trace.

On the way.

Hua Qianxue said, ”Yu Chengguang is from the Yu Family. The Yu Family is the number one family in Unrivaled County. They are quite powerful. You’ve offended Yu Chengguang, so be careful in the future.”

Ye Chen responded nonchalantly, ”In less than a month, even if Yu Chengguang does not seal his cultivation, he’ll be crying when he sees me!”

Hua Qianxue didn’t think it was a big problem. Given Ye Chen’s monstrous talent, he might indeed make significant progress in a month.

”Yu Chengguang considers himself the number one prodigy of Unrivaled County, but don’t let this make you look down on the young people of Unrivaled County, because the true geniuses of Unrivaled County either joined the Celestial Sword Sect or Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, both of which are located outside the county city, so Yu Chengguang’s title as the number one prodigy is based on a bunch of worthless nobodies.”

So that’s how it is.

No wonder Yu Chengguang is such a weakling.

Because Hua Qianxue mentioned the Celestial Sword Sect, the image of Gu Yue, with his sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, dead fish eyes, a green face and fangs, covered in hair, appeared once again in Ye Chen’s mind.

The sense of ease he felt disappeared, replaced by a sense of rage!

Whenever he thought of Gu Yue, he couldn’t stop himself from wanting to chop Gu Yue into eighteen pieces on the spot!

Gu Yue had caused his family to be ruined, an unforgettably deep-seated hatred, one that Ye Chen would never forget.

Hua Qianxue sensed Ye Chen’s change and said, ”Do you know Gu Yue of the Celestial Sword Sect? What level is his cultivation?”

”I don’t know, and I don’t care what level he is. Even if I can’t defeat him now, I will fight him later. One day, I will chop that old dog into mincemeat!” Ye Chen said through clenched teeth.

Granny Rong, who was flying alongside Ye Chen, spoke up, ”I once interacted with Gu Yue, and this person should be at the Seventh Layer of Transcendence.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Qianxue, who was initially worried it might discourage Ye Chen, saw the determined look on his face and realized she had overthought it.

This guy.

For revenge, what would he know of fear?

Gu Yue is at the Seventh Layer of Transcendence. Hua Qianxue thought that this rascal, Ye Chen, would likely not be able to help himself from bringing his sword to Celestial Sword Sect to fight Gu Yue once he reached the Elemental Wheel Realm.

To prevent such a situation, Hua Qianxue added, ”The Mortal Transformation Realm is a major threshold. Only by stepping into the Mortal Transformation Realm can one truly begin on the Martial Dao path.

I was able to cross a major level at the Peak of the Sea of Qi and kill a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Primordial Wheel because I also have the strength of a Tier Three Spirit Master and barely practiced a bit of Elder Yang’s legacy.

So, if you want revenge on Gu Yue, it’s best to wait until you reach the Mortal Transformation Realm.”

Granny Rong chimed in, ”Actually, if you, Ye Chen, could possess the same talent as the Sixth Prince, you could also kill Gu Yue at Seventh Layer of Transcendence from the Peak of Yuan Wheel Realm.”

Hua Qianxue’s gaze suddenly turned extremely cold.

Granny Rong shuddered.

Ye Chen looked at Granny Rong and asked, ”The Sixth Prince, is he strong?”

Even with Hua Qianxue’s murderous gaze on her, Granny Rong nodded and said, ”That’s right, the Sixth Prince’s talent in the Great Zhou Dynasty is second only to Miss, and moreover, the Sixth Prince is engaged to Miss...”

”Shut up!”

Hua Qianxue shouted angrily!

Granny Rong dared not speak further.

Ye Chen chuckled sheepishly, looking at Granny Rong, ”When I go to beat that guy, I’ll definitely invite you to watch.”

Although Granny Rong thought Ye Chen was overestimating himself, she dared not say another word.

The anger faded from Hua Qianxue’s face, ”Don’t boast!”

Ye Chen looked at Hua Qianxue, ”Girl, just wait!”

”Fine, I’ll wait!” Hua Qianxue agreed immediately.

But quickly realized something was off.

Girl?

When did she become a girl?

Earlier, he was calling her Miss Hua, how did it become ’Girl’ now?

Granny Rong looked stunned.

In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, who dared to call Miss Hua ’Girl’?

On one hand, you could count... each one of them would shake the entire Great Zhou Dynasty with just a stomp, and even they only called Hua Qianxue ’Girl’ when she was still young. Ever since two years ago, no one dared to call her that.

Even the Great Zhou Monarch didn’t dare!

Now... Ye Chen just called her that.

Ye Chen didn’t dare to look at Hua Qianxue again, worried that this feisty girl might strike with her sword...

Hua Qianxue kept a straight face, not looking at Ye Chen, really having the urge to chop him down.

However... hearing Ye Chen call her ’Girl’, a peculiar little emotion actually arose in Hua Qianxue’s heart.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the vast majority of people, when they see her, are full of respect and reverence.

Even her parents, including the Great Zhou Monarch, are now always overly polite to her.

This feeling is akin to someone who is used to eating fine delicacies suddenly eating coarse grains, evoking a different kind of sensation.

This grassroots, desperate man, mountain villager... is indeed quite interesting.

Flying at the forefront, Hua Qianxue glanced at the tooth mark on the back of her hand, deliberately covered by her sleeve.

With her prowess, she could have erased this mark long ago.

Yet she chose to keep it.

But Hua Qianxue also knew that this tooth mark would disappear sooner or later.

And Ye Chen?

Right now, he’s just someone a bit interesting in her life. Although his talent is monstrous, he started way behind others. How far can he truly go?

It’s hard to say.

At the moment, emotions filled Hua Qianxue’s heart, a mix beyond words.

......

The next day at noon, the three who were flying in the sky stopped at the foot of a mountain exuding a grand and imposing aura.

Ye Chen looked up, only to see a multitude of buildings on the mountain peak.

Hua Qianxue said, ”This is Cangxing Martial Arts Academy. There’s still five or six days before the examination. According to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy’s tradition, everyone participating in the examination has to gather at the foot of the mountain in advance.

Now that you’re here, no one will dare do anything to you over a spot in the Celestial Sword Sect for an Inner Sect Disciple. You should start preparing for the examination now.”

Ye Chen nodded, clasped his hands towards Hua Qianxue, and said, ”Thank you, Miss Hua, for escorting me all the way.”

Having called her ’Girl’ just now, he couldn’t call her that anymore. He had to give Hua Qianxue some time to adjust.

”It was on the way.” Hua Qianxue said coolly, ”Strive to perform well and don’t disappoint the instructor... and don’t... disappoint me!”

Ye Chen responded with a hum and said no more.

Making a chest-thumping guarantee was meaningless.

Proving it with actions would suffice.

Moreover, he wasn’t participating in the examination to avoid disappointing Yang Tianji and Hua Qianxue.

This was the beginning of his path to growth.

This was the start of the second part of his journey for revenge!

A middle-aged man flew in and landed in front of Hua Qianxue, with a respectful expression, ”Greetings, Miss Hua.”

Hua Qianxue said, ”Instructor Lin, this person is named Ye Chen. Arrange for him to participate in the examination, without any special treatment. If he passes, it’s his ability. If he doesn’t, it’s his own lack of skill.”

Hua Qianxue didn’t mention that Ye Chen was someone Yang Tianji valued; there was no need. Yang Tianji letting Ye Chen take part in the examination was a test in itself for Ye Chen. Otherwise, with Yang Tianji’s influence, he could simply say a word and make an exception for Ye Chen to be admitted directly into Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.
