Chapter 35 – Mortal Realm Stage 10
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, cascade 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 superior to everyone else, he did have a passion for martial art. He never knew when to give up. In 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 warriors 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 was the viewer seats, it was about two meters high filled with different levels of seats. At the top of the viewer area, there was a teenage boy in green, he was waving a fan in his hand, looking very relaxed.
On his side stood a teenager with iron sword, he said casually: “Becoming a Condensing Reality warrior at the age of thirteen should make him one of the top five warriors 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 defense 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 these 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, he was 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 had an even higher rank than Li Kuang. Although he was young and calm, he was extremely brutal in fights, his opponents usually ended up either badly wounded or dead.
The two had just came 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 warriors 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.”
Heard 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.”
