Supreme Sword God

Chapter 235: Chapter 234: A New Journey

The Fengyun Competition matter has already spread like wildfire in Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and discussions related to it can be heard everywhere.

Everyone is speculating on who Cangxing Martial Arts Academy will send to participate in the Fengyun Competition.

This is a major event.

The results of the Fengyun Competition will determine the ranking of the Great Zhou Martial Arts Academy!

According to past practices.

Typically, Cangxing Martial Arts Academy sends disciples from the advanced classes to participate in the Fengyun Competition, but this time, the most discussed candidates are some newcomers who just joined Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

The most high-profile candidate is, naturally, Ye Chen from the Lingwu Department, with a Third Layer Elemental Wheel Realm cultivation, a Tier Three Ultimate Celestial Seal Spirit Master, integrating both Lingwu, rarely meeting a match below the Mortal Transformation Realm!

Then there’s Yu Hui from the Star Elixir Department, and Luo Tian from the Star Martial System.

Yu Hui, the grandson of the head of Luofeng Martial Arts Academy, a Tier Four Earth Seal Spirit Master, with a strong inheritance of spirit techniques!

As for Luo Tian, only a few know his secret lineage as a descendant of the Sword King Chu Feng, but even without this background, his excellence is indisputable, with a Fifth Layer Elemental Wheel Realm cultivation, he even fought off a tenth-layer Demon Race member in the Demon Suppression Valley battlefield!

In addition, there is Ouyang Shang’s granddaughter, Ouyang Xiaoling, who is just over twenty, with a Fourth Layer Primordial Embryo Realm cultivation, her combat power is also not to be underestimated.

Qu Xiao, the daughter of Prefect Qu Changfeng, a disciple of the Star Martial System advanced class, with a Fifth Layer Primordial Embryo Realm cultivation, is also heavily discussed by many.

......

Disciples from different departments are enthusiastically discussing.

The Lingwu Department, however, remains indifferent to these matters, as there aren’t many people in the Lingwu Department.

In front of the Crumbling Cliff, Ye Chen came to visit his senior brother, Yuan Polu.

Looking at Yuan Polu’s back, especially the large lump on the back of his bald head, Ye Chen felt a small sense of guilt in his heart, seemingly having hit too hard...

”Senior brother.”

Ye Chen called softly.

Yuan Polu, who was exercising his power, calmed his internal force, stood up, turned to Ye Chen, and said with a smile, ”Junior brother, I have good news for you, I have recovered, and in a short time, I will make great progress. From now on, if those in the Mortal Transformation Realm dare to bully you, I can smash them with one blow!”

A genuine smile appeared on Ye Chen’s face.

He had asked Luo Qingyi, and found out that the Dragon Casting Technique is a lower celestial-tier cultivation technique, indeed a huge opportunity for Yuan Polu to obtain it.

”Congratulations, senior brother.”

Yuan Polu thought for a moment, then said, ”Junior brother, I suggest that you also come and train by the Crumbling Cliff for a period of time, just sit here, you might get a heavenly opportunity and greatly improve your strength!”

Yang Tianji didn’t allow him to mention the Dragon Casting Technique to others, so he could only use this way to remind Ye Chen!

Ye Chen saw Yuan Polu pointing at the ground beside him, feeling a bit embarrassed.

This senior brother of his, is truly a straightforward person.

Where Yuan Polu pointed was exactly where he sat yesterday before being knocked out by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen chuckled, saying, ”Senior brother, your luck is profound, these kinds of opportunities cannot be forced, if there truly is a chance meant for me, it will come, regardless of where I am, or what I’m doing. If my luck doesn’t suffice, no amount of effort will be enough.”

Yuan Polu rubbed the back of his head painfully, nodding in deep agreement: ”Junior brother, you make a good point.”

Ye Chen chatted with Yuan Polu for a while, then Yang Tianji appeared with Liu Meng’Er.

”Teacher.”

The two greeted Yang Tianji with a salute.

Yang Tianji nodded and said, ”Our Lingwu Department has gathered, let’s get to the point. The triennial Fengyun Competition of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Martial Arts Academy is about to begin. Ouyang Shang has already discussed with me and decided to send Ye Chen to participate.”

”Teacher, what about me? The Fengyun Competition is open to those under thirty, and I’ve now recovered my strength!” Yuan Polu said.

Yang Tianji shook his head, ”You cannot appear in the Capital City yet. The imperial family used a Dragon Blood Pill as part of a scheme on you. Although their plot has been broken, caution is still necessary.”

”Teacher, if my senior brother can’t go, can I?” Liu Meng’Er said.

”You can’t either.” Yang Tianji looked at Liu Meng’Er, saying: ”Meng’Er, you stay obediently at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, don’t go anywhere!”

”Teacher, I’m worried about our junior brother going alone!” Yuan Polu said.

Liu Meng’Er nodded in agreement, ”That Ninth Prince Zhou Chengyun might have malicious intentions, and the Prime Minister’s Yan Mingkuan died at junior brother’s hands. I heard that Prime Minister Yan Song is ruthless and quite tyrannical...”

Yang Tianji looked at Ye Chen, ”What do you think?”

Ye Chen smiled, ”Whether it’s Zhou Chengyun or Yan Song, they will have concerns if they want to target me, and they definitely wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

Moreover, if I shy away from participating in the Fengyun Competition due to these concerns, it would go against my initial intent of cultivation!”

Yang Tianji’s face revealed a look of appreciation, ”This time when you enter the Capital City, act freely without any concerns!”

Ye Chen’s eyes sparkled, Yang Tianji’s words carried deep meaning!

”Teacher, besides me, who are the other four?” Ye Chen asked.

”Yu Hui from the Star Elixir Department, Qu Xiao from the Star Martial System, Ouyang Shang’s granddaughter Ouyang Xiaoling represents the Star Spirit System, and another you don’t know, named Sun Siming from the Star Martial System.”

Luo Tian not being on the list felt a bit odd to Ye Chen, despite Luo Tian’s limited endurance, his explosive power was amazing, undeniably stronger than Qu Xiao!

Yang Tianji guessed some of Ye Chen’s thoughts and said, ”Luo Tian’s identity is still a secret. If he goes to the Capital City for the Fengyun Competition, he’ll be recognized by many. Ouyang Shang brought Luo Tian into Cangxing Martial Arts Academy with another arrangement in mind; it’s not yet time for him to be exposed.”

”Isn’t that guy Sun Siming in a closed seclusion?” Yuan Polu murmured, ”That guy was considered a genius, representing Cangxing Martial Arts Academy in two Fengyun Competitions. He did well the first time, but suffered a major setback the second time, and then he never came out again...”

”He’s already broken through to the Mortal Transformation Realm, and with his previous participation experience in the Fengyun Competition, Ouyang Shang chose to send him.” Yang Tianji casually explained.

”Teacher, when do we depart?” Ye Chen asked.

”We set out in five days. Ye Chen, I’ve noticed you’ve been running between the Pure Origin Secret Realm and the Spirit Tower quite a bit, your energy is somewhat scattered lately. For now, focus up and aim to advance to a Tier Four Spirit Master.

In recent years, many geniuses have emerged across the regions; in this Fengyun Competition, there may be several Mortal Transformation Realm martial artists or Tier Six Spirit Masters, so don’t take them lightly!”

Ye Chen nodded, feeling a bit excited inside!

The Great Zhou Dynasty Capital, Jiulong City, was a place he once longed to see, and now, he finally had the chance.

The haughty girl Hua Qianxue is in Jiulong City.

The Ninth Prince Zhou Chengyun, who had plotted to kill him in the Demon Suppression Valley, is also hiding in Jiulong City.

Next... all the geniuses from the Great Zhou Dynasty Martial Arts Academy will gather in Jiulong City!

Ye Chen eagerly anticipates this Fengyun Competition!

He knows full well that this journey to Jiulong City signifies a new expedition for him, marking his departure from Unparalleled County and his first contact with a wider world!
