Chapter 173 - Advancing to Earthly Venerable Rank (2/2)

It was just Celestial Chi taking on the form of a Flying Dagger but it already had such might!

Ye Chen could not help but feel surprised. Did this Flying Dagger have any offensive power?

“Little Tanuki, you can continue cultivating. I’m going out for a while.” Ye Chen excitedly exited the side courtyard and arrived at a secluded forest on the island.

The Central Lake Island was quite large and Xuan Pavilion had only occupied a small part of it. More than eighty percent of the island was quiet and secluded forests.

After using his Astral Body to ensure that no one was around, Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi swiftly formed the shape of a Flying Dagger.

The Celestial Chi Flying Dagger was suspended in front of Ye Chen and with a thought, the Flying Dagger flew a few meters in front. It was not that fast but with a “thunk”, it pierced through the trunk of a large tree.

The tree was easily pierced like a layer of air which could not obstruct the Flying Dagger at all. This Celestial Chi Flying Dagger was razor sharp!

After flying for five to six meters, the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger had dissipated into the air.

Ye Chen walked to the large tree and looked at the gap blown out by the flying knife. The gap was smooth and flat, and after using his Astral Body to take a closer look, he was surprised to find that after being pierced by the dagger, a small vein in the tree had been broken and shredded into pieces.

Not only did the Flying Dagger cause a wound but also damaged the surrounding meridians. If this Flying Dagger pierced through a human body, as long as it did not hit the arms or legs, that person would most likely die immediately!

This Celestial Chi Flying Dagger was amazing!

The Flying Dagger Ye Chen had formed using his Celestial Chi only slightly resembled the Flying Dagger in his mind but was already this powerful. Ye Chen could not even imagine just how strong the Flying Dagger in his mind was.

Although the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger was extremely powerful, it was too slow and easy to avoid. If Ye Chen could increase its speed, it would be able to take the enemy by surprise when fighting them!

How could Ye Chen increase the speed of the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger?

The Flying Dagger was driven by Ye Chen’s mind. Perhaps he needed to improve his thoughts to improve the speed of the Flying Dagger.

Ye Chen frowned thoughtfully. He had formed a Flying Dagger with a flick of his right hand and focused his thoughts on it. Immediately, he felt a vague connection to the Flying Dagger as if there was a silk thread connecting him to the Flying Dagger.

“Go!” With a thought, the Flying Dagger shot forward and hit a tree five meters away with a “thunk”.

The speed was faster than before! Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised. The speed of the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger could be improved!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

Ye Chen formed Flying Daggers again and again and practiced how to enhance its speed and accuracy. Currently, he could make the Flying Dagger fly for around six meters. His accuracy was quite high and the deviation in which he hit his targets within six meters would not exceed one centimeter. Although the speed had been improved, it was still too slow.

The speed of the Flying Dagger could be used against combatants below mid-Tenth Level but it would only work on a peak Tenth Level combatant if taken by surprise.

If Ye Chen could double the speed of the Flying Dagger, even beginner Earthly Venerable Rank combatants might not be able to resist!

With the continuous practice of throwing the Flying Daggers, Ye Chen felt that his mind had improved. The speed of the Flying Dagger had increased by more than fifty percent compared to the first time but there was still a lot of room for improvement!

Ye Chen had practiced until he was proficient in using the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger and also grasped the trick to the Flying Dagger. No weapons would be a match for his Flying Dagger! If he wanted to use the Flying Dagger, it had to be quick and accurate. As long as Ye Chen could grasp those two points, he would be able to kill his opponent at a critical moment!

Two hours later, after a feeling of exhaustion welled up, Ye Chen realized that using his consciousness like this had greatly consumed his energy. If the fatigue grew too much without recovering, it might even affect the usage of Celestial Chi! Of course, his mind could be improved by practicing. Using Ye Chen’s consciousness and recovering it time and time again, it would slowly lead to a strengthening!

Ye Chen was quite excited when he found himself able to use the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger. He sat on the ground and started to rest before continuing to practice with the Flying Dagger. However, at this time, his Astral Body seemed to have sensed something and extended outside and saw two figures emerging from the water in the direction of the lake. The two figures were dressed in black, acting sneakily.
