Chapter 221: Fist Art – Dragon Elephant (2/2)

Ye Chen forced a laugh, opened the first page of the manual.

“The first movement, Dragon Elephant Great Power…”

“The second movement, Dragon Elephant Roar…”

“The third movement, Elephant Mountain Fighter…”

“The fourth movement, Dragon Ocean…”

“…”

“The seventh, unknown…”

After quickly reading from front to back, Ye Chen realized there were seven movements in total, and each one them seemed to have a weird name, which he was not able to guess. However, his instinct told him that it appeared to be a real top rank Earth Realm fist art, maybe even higher.

“Three breaths of time has finished.” The elder with gray hair grabbed the manual off Ye Chen’s hand.

Touching his storage ring, Ye Chen suddenly asked, “Quick question, do you know the rank of this manual?”

A hesitation flashed through the elder’s eyes. After a long while, he sighed, “To be honest, I had no idea. I had found it accidentally on a small island in the Star Region Lake. But according to my judgment, its rank should be more than top rank Earth Realm, because its owner had died for years, but I could still sense his creepy aura. It was deep as the ocean so his belongings would not be worse.”

‘Even after death, there were still creep vibes?’

Ye Chen was surprised. ‘Isn’t that the sign of being in the Seas of Souls Realm?’ As for the Life and Death Realm warriors, it would be almost impossible for them to die, unless turning to ashes and disappearing altogether. Otherwise, even if the warriors had only got one piece of flesh left, they would still be able to reborn. The powerful ones would be able to be reborn from one drop of blood. Therefore, there would be almost impossible for a Life and Death Realm warrior to leave his or her bodies there. But of course, in this true spirit continent, nothing was impossible. There might actually be Life and Death Realm warriors’ corpses left somewhere. But that would be another topic for another time.

“Then why don’t you write top rank Earth Realm since you don’t even know its true realm?”

The elder forced a laugh, “If I wrote top rank Earth Realm, people would think I was lying. Then they would not pay attention at all. Plus, I had studied this manual carefully, and I had not found anything special yet. To tell you the truth, there was an Astral Reaching Realm warrior who came by yesterday. He took a look, but then eventually he shook his head and left, saying that without the bottom part of the manual, even if it were a Sky Realm fist art, it would still be useless.”

Ye Chen thought to himself for a while. That Astral Reaching Realm warrior was probably right. Guessing the rest of the manual from the one-half of the manual would be harder than just creating one himself. After all, while creating a martial art, he would be able to choose its structure. But guessing other people’s martial arts, it meant he would have to fill in the structure of someone else’s, which brought a lot of limitation.

“One hundred thousand low-rank soul stones, if more then I walk.” Ye Chen stared at the elder.

“Isn’t that a bit too less. It was from a powerful warrior after all!”

The elder was unhappy about the price.

Without saying a word, Ye Chen lifted up his feet about to leave.

“Wait! One hundred and fifty thousand low-rank soul stones!”

“One hundred and twenty thousand soul stones!”

“D*** it! One hundred twenty thousand then!”

Ye Chen smiled, and as he paid the elder, he said, “I only want to buy it so I can study it properly. What do you think?”

The elder rolled his eyes, “It was only because you looked like you actually wanted it. Those people before wanted to buy it for fifty thousand soul stones… well, keep on dreaming!”

Putting away the half manual, Ye Chen walked over to the counter that stored the Five Mountain Godly Fist.

It was priced at two hundred and ten thousand low-rank soul stones. Obviously, it was a bit overpriced. Normally, a top Mid-rank Earth Realm fist art would not go beyond one hundred and eighty thousand low rank soul stones. However, this was the trading palace, and the prices were decided by the warriors themselves. No matter how expensive they wanted to sell it for, they could do it.

Ye Chen who had just had a huge income did not hesitate and bought the manual instantly.

Leaving the trading palace, he went back to his training room.

Three days later...

Noon.

Ye Chen purposely dressed up and walked towards the gate discreetly.

“Haha, once you arrived in the martial city, I knew you would try to leave secretly.” On the second floor in a nearby restaurant, Yuan Zongbo sneered.

Right next to him there were another four people. On the far left side, it was Mr. Jin, who was full of smiles right then. The other three people had incredibly huge bodies and were all at Late Clasping Yuan Realm.

“I was wondering who you tried to take on that would want us to be here to support you. But he is only a peak level Early Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. Do you really need us here?”

“My bro is right. Yuan Zongbo, what the heck are you thinking? I am telling you, if we don’t make money from this, I will take it from you.”

Yuan Zongbo was aggravated, he said, “Back then, it was me who underestimated the situation and got ambushed. But don’t think of him lightly, his flying art was really powerful. Mr. Jin can verify.”

Mr. Jin smiled, “Brother Yuan is right. He had mastered an impressive flying art which allowed him to separate zhen qi shadows to confuse his opponents.”

“Being able to separate zhen qi shadows, it does sound a bit tricky. But you two must have been careless. Otherwise, two against one, how could you let him escape?”

Yuan Zongbo was a little bit embarrassed. He had not told them about Mr. Jin and him being badly wounded by Ye Chen. Otherwise, they would have laughed at them. “Indeed, Mr. Jin and I had been careless. We did not pay enough attention to him. That was why I asked you three brothers to come this time, mainly in case he runs away. Also, among all of his things, I only want that low-rank great sword, the rest would be all yours.”

“That sounds more like it. That little brat has reached the peak level Early Clasping Yuan Realm at such a young age, he must have a lot of goodies. I hope he will not disappoint us.”
