Chapter 35: Mortal Realm Stage 10

Editor: Hitesh_

Standing in the middle of the stage, Ye Chen looked like a drawn sharp sword radiating with power.

"This guy's strength is horrifying. If beating Huang Bingwen proved his strength, then beating that genius Zhang Haoran proves he is an unimaginable genius."

"Right, it is not too uncommon to see a genius challenging those who have a higher cultivation than themselves. What shocked me is that the one that Ye Chen beat was also a genius. It's like watching someone our age challenge the top ranked disciple."

"That's impossible. Among our generation in Windy Nation, no one could challenge our top disciple."

"It was only a metaphor!"

With one knee on the floor, Zhang Haoran put his left hand on his broken right arm. He looked up as his lips, that were were soaked with blood, cascaded blood down his chin. He said with a murderous tone: "No one could beat me, Zhang Haoran. Not even you. Ye Chen, just you wait. When you become an inner disciple in five months, I will come challenge you again."

The crowd all shook their heads as they all thought: Ye Chen who was only at Mortal Realm Stage 9 has already beaten you, would you even have a chance when he becomes an inner disciple?

Ye Chen was actually quite impressed by Zhang Haoran. Although he was arrogant and disrespectful to the point that he thought of himself to be superior to everyone else, he did have a passion for martial art. He never knew when to give up. On the contrary, Huang Bingwen decided to hide in the crowd once he failed. He probably is planning some evil plan at this moment. His personality would never accomplish anything.

"Okay, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself when I become an inner disciple within five months." To disciples with such passion, Ye Chen took every word they said seriously.

Staggering to stand up, Zhang Haoran gave Ye Chen a deep look. "You are strong. I, Zhang Haoran, have lost fair and square. However, if you want me to just give up...sorry, it's impossible."

After speaking those words, he walked down the stage staunchly.

"Wow! A man with such honor, nice!" Around the stage were the viewer seats, about two meters high filled with different levels of seats. At the top of the viewer area, there was a teenage boy in green, waving a fan in his hand, looking very relaxed.

On his side stood a teenager with an iron sword, he said casually: "Becoming a Condensing Reality disciple at the age of thirteen should make him one of the top five disciples of Sky Cloud Martial School in the past decade."

The teenager in green nodded, "When he matures a bit, he will qualify to be our opponent. As for the other one, I am very curious about how he gained such strength. Even core disciple Xu Jing cannot compete with him in strength."

"He is of no concern. After he reaches Condensing Reality Stage, his power will not be useful anymore. Although his defensive martial art is quite unique, I have never seen anything like it before."

"Everyone has their own secrets, didn't you just get a sword art in that Ghost Cry Forest?" the teenager in green laughed, then said: "Let's go! We are wasting time."

The other teenager nodded. The two left the Martial Plaza.

If someone saw those two, they would definitely recognize them. The teenager holding a sword was one of the top ten inner disciples in the Sky Cloud Martial School, called Li Kuang. His sword art could even frighten ghosts and was nicknamed the Ghost Sword among the northern part of the Windy Nation; the teenager in green was called Fei Shaoqing, and had an even higher rank than Li Kuang. Although he was young and calm, he was extremely brutal in fights, his opponents usually ending up either badly wounded or dead.

The two had just come back from a mission for the Sky Cloud Martial School. Upon seeing the crowd at the martial plaza, they came to check it out.

On the way back home, Wu Zongming looked at Ye Chen curiously, "Ye Chen, your improvement is through the roof! Now, you are way ahead of me."

Ye Chen could not explain everything that had happened to him, he said: "Really? I did not think so."

"You were only Mortal Realm Stage 6 during the Mu Ren Gang and now you are already at Mortal Realm Stage 9. And your strength is incomparable to most disciples of the same stage. When you reach the Condensing Reality, I wonder what kind of monster you would become."

"Hm, I probably just had an enlightenment."

Hearing his comment, Wu Zongming nodded surprisingly, "It is not unreasonable for such a thing to happen. Some people happen to be extremely ordinary in the beginning, then suddenly arise to fame and greatness. And you, my friend, might be one of them."

Ye Chen did not how to reply.

...

Time passed. Ye Chen was not gloating as people expected. Instead, he was usually found either locked in his room or at training at the edge of the mountain.

During this period, Zhang Haoran and Wu Zongming had officially became inner disciples.

Each inner disciples had their own identity mark secured to their waist. Their names were inscribed onto the back of the mark , and could access the Pavilion of Martial Arts freely with their identity mark, reading top rank martial arts, and take on school missions to venture outside school grounds where they could make their own path and reputation.

Of course, going on an adventure outside the school was very dangerous. In the past decade, numerous inner disciples had died. Some of them were killed in assassin ambushes; some of them were killed by different bandit gangs, some of them were killed by other martial institutions, while some of them just completely disappeared.

However, the leaders of the Sky Cloud Martial Art did not try to decrease the death rate of their inner disciples. Because, no matter how pretty a flower in the greenhouse was, without surviving the wind and the rain, they could never amount to anything. They could only grow stronger when they were allowed to leave their "greenhouse", so that they could build a stable base for their future.

However, Zhang Haoran and Wu Zongming did not need to do missions yet. Within the first half year after becoming inner disciples, the leaders allowed them to focus on training and boosting their power level. After half year, they could go outside to train their mind and potential.

While everyone else was working hard, Ye Chen was working even harder.

Everyday besides training the third spell of his Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell, he would train with soul stones.

After absorbing all the lingqi from the inborn blue jade, he did not need more Jade Qi. All he needed to do was to master his body art, connecting between every inch of his blood and flesh; once the connection was built, his defense would be flawless and unbeatable.

Ye Chen had to admit, the meat of those strange fish had helped him a lot, otherwise he would not be able to master the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell to the level where even an Early Condensing Reality disciple could not injure him.

Now that he had finished his supply of fish meat, Ye Chen's power had stopped at twelve thousand pounds. From now on, every ten pounds would be ten times harder than the last, he almost reached his body's limit. If he wanted to continue increasing his power, he had to make some kind of a breakthrough.

...

At night a bright moon had come up high in the sky.

The moonlight was clear like a crystal, coming through the windows and brightening the room. Outside the windows, the shadow of the trees blanketed large swaths of area, creating a beautiful aura.

Ye Chen sat on his bed, with one soul stone in each of his hands.

Before, Ye Chen was afraid to use two soul stones at a time. Although this method could increase his training speed two times faster, the powerful Yuan Qi from the soul stones could destroy his meridians and cripple his martial arts cultivation. However, his body now had been strengthened. With his Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell, using a soul stone was nothing to him, in fact, using two at the same time would be just the perfect amount of energy his body could handle.

With the huge amount of Yuan Qi from the soul stones nourishing his Qi, the Qi tornado inside Ye Chen's Dantian kept expanding, eventually filling up his Dantian completely. Fortunately, with the protection from Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell and the fish meat, his Dantian had became stronger; otherwise, there might have been a huge problem.

Boom!

The Qi tornado suddenly compressed by thirty percent of its original size.

Ye Chen opened his eyes, slowly breathing out an impure breath, "I finally reached the peak of Mortal Realm Stage 10. Reaching the Condensing Reality Stage was harder than I expected."

To reach the Condensing Reality Stage, the disciple had to liquidize his Qi into zhen qi, which was an extremely hard process. After that, it would only get harder and harder, with a chance of rebound for failing to breakthrough. Comparing to others, Ye Chen already had it easy. Because his Pure Yuan Art was famous for its purity, he could control it without restrain.

However, when he was about to officially try to reach the next level, he had to stop converting Yuan Qi from soul stones. Because no matter how pure his Yuan Qi got, it required time to combine with the Qi inside his body, making it quite difficult to reach the Condensing Reality Stage.

Standing up and walking to the windows, Ye Chen looked at the view outside the windows, he mumbled to himself: "The Ye family meeting is in two weeks time, it is time to go home."


Chapter 36: Ye Tang

Editor: Hitesh_

There was a twelve thousand miles distance between Sky Cloud Martial School and Maple Leaf Town where the Ye family was located. Even with a fast horse, it would take at least twelve days to get there. If he stopped somewhere in the middle, it would require him half a month to get there on time.

However, the world was different from the one Ye Chen came from. A fast horse was not a big deal. The fastest horse in Windy Nation was the half demonic beast horse - Ghost Eyes Jade Lion. It had the blood of a demonic beast and could run three thousand three hundred miles a day. It came from Demon Grassland in the east side of Wind Nation, and was extremely hard to catch and train. Even the lowest ranked one would sell for at least ten thousand gold, it could even sell up to twenty thousand gold when the supply was low.

Although it was very easy for disciples to make a fortune, only a few disciples could afford a Ghost Eyes Jade Lion. The reason for that was because the disciples also needed to spend a lot of money. For example, for Ye Chen, he went out for four days and made twelve thousand silvers. However, after he bought a pellet, he only had a small fraction of that twelve thousand left. The higher the rank of a pellet, the more expensive it got. There were pills that were even more expensive than a Ghost Eyes Jade Lion.

After asking for a one and half month leave from the outer court elder, Ye Chen hurried to start his journey home.

He had bought a blue haired horse for transportation a while back, it could run one thousand two hundred miles a day, and cost him five thousand silvers. As for a dark brown horse, it could run two thousand miles a day. It was not because he could not afford it, but rather he was too weak to control it at the time he was looking for a mount.

"Hiya!"

At the bottom of the mountain, Ye Chen's legs clipped on the horse's stomach, and it started the journey back home.

The closest city after Windy Town was the Windy City. As he went through the south door of the Windy City, the view in front of him suddenly widened.

The sky was bright blue, the clouds were white like milk, and the waves of wind could be seen billowing across the green grassland.

In that beautiful scene, Ye Chen rode his horse like lightning which made him have the urge to scream aloud in wonder, because he could have never thought that one day, he could become a disciple like the ones in those novels he used to read. Even though this was not really true adventuring, Ye Chen felt excitement bubble up as he rode out

A couple of riders came close to Ye Chen on their horses, "Hey, little bro, we are heading to the Silent Hills to kill some demonic beasts, how about we count you in on one hunt?"

Ye Chen did not want to slow down, he turned his head and said: "Sorry, there is something I need to do."

"What could be more important than making money? You know, with our power level, killing a rank 3 beast is a piece of cake." Their leader rider who wore a cone-shaped bamboo hat had an anxious look on his face, he was still trying to convince Ye Chen.

Ye Chen sneered: "Sorry, farewell."

"Hiya!"

Ye Chen shook the reins and his horse increased its speed to its limit.

"Pft, this brat is pretty smart, we could not even trick him." The rider with a bamboo hat made a cold expression.

"Boss, why didn't you just block him? He had a blue haired horse, he must be loaded. If we took him, it could have lasted us for months."

"Yeah! He seemed like a young master of some family."

The rider with a bamboo hat said: "What the heck do you know? That brat had sharp eyes and a faint killing intent. He must not be an easy target. We might've failed horribly."

Changing topics, he changed his tone, "It's almost the end of year, there are plenty of disciples heading home from all the small martial institutions around. There are lots of opportunities, there's no need to risk our lives."

"True. No wonder you are the boss, you could plan so far ahead!"

"Alright, let's go."

The gang turned their horses, starting to head back to Windy City.

Far ahead, Ye Chen sneered: this gang must have thought of him as those cocky inexperienced disciples; once he agreed to join, they would reveal their true intentions, kill him and rob his belongings.

Unfortunately, although Ye Chen hadn't been out much, he did not lack experience, thanks to all those xianxia novels he read in school.

...

Ten thousand miles away, another teenager was also riding a blue haired horse and was also hurrying on his journey.

The teenager wore a white training robe and had a great saber on his back. His handsome face slightly resembled Ye Chen.

"The Purple Sun Martial School is not far ahead, I promised my big brother that we would meet up there, I wonder if he is waiting for me." The teenager stared at that tall mountain far away, it had an odd purple aura around it, very powerful, with waves of purple Qi coming from the east.

After a while, the teenager arrived in the bottom of the mountain.

"Ye Tang, here you are." A teenager with big eyes and thick brows said loudly. At the bottom of the mountain, there were a lot of disciples from the Purple Sun Martial School who were all wearing purple gears with a burning sun embroidered in the back.

The good looking teenager rode his horse and came closer: "Big bro, your Purple Sun Martial School's environment is quite nice, unlike Northern Snow Academy which is always snowing, and there is always at least one meter of snow on the ground."

The teenager with big eyes and thick brows was the eldest son of Ye Chen's eldest uncle, called Ye Feng; the good-looking teenager was his blood related younger brother, called Ye Tang. Ye Feng had joined the rank 8 Purple Sun Martial School, while Ye Tang had joined the rank 7 Northern Snow Martial Academy, both of them were much stronger than Ye Chen.

Ye Feng said: "I wanted to go to Northern Snow Martial Academy, but sadly my power was not enough to join."

Ye Tang smiled, he studied Ye Feng, "Big bro, you have reached the Peak of Mortal Realm Stage 9, good job!" Jumping from Mortal Realm Stage 4 to the Peak of Mortal Realm Stage 9 in three years, was considered to be pretty good, ranked to be around a middle or high talent. The martial school would definitely give him a lot of attention.

"I can't compete with you; you probably have already reached the stage 10 right?" Ye Feng could not see through Ye Tang, and honestly, he never was able to in his life.

Ye Tang said with pride: "I was just barely able to breakthrough to the Condensing Reality Stage, so my Zhen Qi is still not stable yet."

"You reached the Condensing Reality Stage?" Ye Feng was surprised. Although the Peak of Mortal Realm Stage 10 was only one step away from the Condensing Reality Stage, but the process of breaking through was extremely difficult, a lot of people with high potentials would spend half of year to reach it to finally become an inner disciple officially.

There was no need to boast in front of his own brother, so Ye Tang changed the subject and said: "Enough about this. Speaking of which, the annual family meet is almost here, I wonder what's going on with that loser Ye Chen. Don't tell me he still has not even reached the Mortal Realm Stage 7? It is such an embarrassment to be in the same family as him."

Ye Feng put away his envy, and laughed: "The higher it gets, the harder it becomes. I don't even think that he could reach the Late Mortal Realm Stage 6. Well, when we get home, let's break it down for him to show him how big a loser he is."

"Thinking of which, I really missed that period of time back home. Being served everyday, and we could even mess with Ye Chen when we felt bored. But he was actually quite a tough kid, he never told his father and mother about it."

"Pft, what's the point in telling his parents. Our father is the inner sect elder of the Purple Sun Martial School, he is not scared of Ye Chen's father even though he is the leader of Ye family."

"Oh! Speaking of which, is father coming home this year?"

Ye Feng nodded, "Father said he would be few days late, so we should head back first."

"If that's the case then we should head back now. I think Ye Chen has probably already left Sky Cloud Martial School. What about Ye Xuan? Do you know what her cultivation level is?" The only relatives in the Ye family that could earn Ye Tang's respect had to be Ye Xuan. Back in the day, when he was at the Mid Mortal Realm Stage 5, she was at Late Stage 5, which caused him to be quite depressed for a long time. But three years had passed and he should be much stronger than her now.

Ye Feng had already given up on chasing after Ye Tang, especially when he was his own little brother. When Ye Tang rose to fame in the future, it would also be helpful for him, "In this True Spirit continent, there are hardly any strong women disciples. Maybe her cultivation level is almost the same as me."

Ye Tang agreed, "Let's go!"

"Okay!"

The two whipped their horses and shot out like lightning.
