Chapter 313: The Nature Five
Translator: 3herylEditor: Hitesh
”Is this a sign of reaching completion of your martial art?” Thunder Freer had heard before that once the top rank Earth Realm arts reached the twelfth realm, there would be a horrifying sign appearing with a new realm. Since Ye Chen had trained the Green Lotus Sword Spell, it was normal that there was such a sharp Qi appearing with the new realm.
Cloud Dreamer shook his head, ” Not only has he made a huge breakthrough in his Green Lotus Sword Spell, he is only one last step away from reaching the Astral Reaching Realm.”
”Is his second zhen yuan purification about to finish soon too?” Hearing him, Thunder Freer was surprised, since it would take a normal warrior at least three or four years to convert all of the zhen Qi into zhen yuan. However, Ye Chen took less than a year, which was jaw-dropping.
Cloud Dreamer said, ”Everything a martial genius does is normally breaking the records. Five months ago, Sikong Sheng had reached the Astral Reaching Realm and became the youngest warrior for the past couple of centuries in the whole South Rudra Region. It looks like that Ye Chen is about to break that record too.”
Thunder Freer nodded, ”Sikong Sheng is a twenty-two years old Astral Reaching Realm warrior. If Ye Chen is able to reach the same level within three months, he would be a nineteen years old one, which would be only one year older than the first genius, the Mysterious Queen. It would be still surprising in the whole continent’s context. His name would definitely appear in the martial genius ranking list.”
”Yeah, that is for sure. However, martial geniuses are not only about training speed but also other factors. There are some other factors as well, such as the most important battling power and comprehension ability. Of course, no matter what area it is, Ye Chen is always the best. Sooner or later, he would be very famous. Plus, the more powerful he is now, the safer he would be. If he could not top himself, then it would truly be dangerous.”
Just as they spoke, Ye Chen opened his eyes inside the secret chamber.
”The thirteenth realm of the Green Lotus Sword Spell, as well as the second zhen yuan purification has officially finished… Such a powerful thing!” Two years had passed since the Hidden Dragon Rank, and Ye Chen had been improving every day. Each breakthrough was major, and topped the last realm. He had not only reached the first limit of the Green Lotus Sword Spell, he was about to finish the second zhen yuan purification as well. With both the achievements, his power had reached a new high level. Unfortunately, he did not have a rightful opponent to practice with. Otherwise, he would be able to know how exactly powerful he had become.
Shoo!
He threw out a punch covered with half-step zhen yuan, causing the air to tear apart. It was fast like lightning and heavy like mountains.
”Half-step zhen yuan, no, it should be the surreal zhen yuan. Its attacking power is unbelievable!” That punch was not combined with any martial skills, using only the surreal zhen yuan to tear open a gap in the air, which was very close to a true zhen yuan attack.
Waving his hand, the door of the secret chamber opened, as Ye Chen stood up and flew out.
On the Cloud Dreaming Mountain.
Cloud Dreamer and Thunder Freer were both sitting while discussing with each other.
”Little bro, what kind of progress have you made lately?”
The mist had automatically given way as Ye Chen landed on the Cloud Dreaming mountain, ”Two seniors must have already guessed it.”
”Hehe, your training speed is indeed surprising! It’s even making me feel bad.” Although Ye Chen had called them seniors, they definitely would not dare to consider him as their junior, so they treated him like their friends. Cloud Dreamer reached out his hand and waved over a stone chair nearby, then poured him a glass of wine.
Ye Chen sat on the stone chair and asked, ”Did anything happen in the past half year?”
Cloud Dreamer replied with seriousness, ”According to our resources, Sikong Sheng had reached the Astral Reaching Realm five months ago and became an inner master of the Floating Mountain Martial School. This event had made a huge impact, and a lot of famous Astral Reaching Realm warriors had gone to congratulate him, including the Great Master from the Purple Sun Martial School and the Emerald Martial School.”
Ye Chen was not too surprised about that, since the latter had already formed the half-step zhen yuan in the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions. Two years had passed, so he should indeed be an Astral Reaching Realm warrior by now. As for the Great Master from the Purple Sun Martial School, Ye Chen was confused, ”Didn’t he need to look over the Purple Sun Martial School?”
Thunder Freer forced a laugh, ”That sneaky b*stard had traveled through the South Rudra Region before as well, and had met four powerful warriors- Golden Gun Man, Old Tree Man, Mr. Lake and the Mountain Warrior. The five of them were called the Natural Element Five, or the Nature Five in short. Right before Sikong Sheng reached the Astral Reaching Realm, Gold Spear man and Mr. Lake had visited over. So now, they are looking over the Purple Sun Martial School.”
”Nature Five.” Ye Chen mumbled to himself.
”Soon, there will be three Astral Reaching Realm warrior’s protecting the Sky Cloud Martial School! Come on! Let’s drink!” The Cloud Dreamer was not too worried about the power of the Purple Sun Martial School. One Ye Chen would be able to take on two or three Astral Reaching Realm warriors. Plus, Ye Chen had still not reached his full potential yet, and no one would be able to predict how far he would go.
The days after that were extremely peaceful. His Green Lotus Sword Spell had reached the thirteenth realm, and his second zhen yuan purification would soon be over too. Ye Chen now would not have to close up and train deliberately. Zhen yuan purification was something that happened naturally, it had nothing much to do with one’s comprehension ability. Plus, once the time was right, becoming an Astral Reaching Realm warrior was nothing hard, since Ye Chen had already got everything he needed for the breakthrough.
This day, Ye Chen was figuring out the poetic perspective of clouds.
After the Sky Shattering Clouds had reached its sixth movement, Ye Chen had felt a huge blockage. It seemed like there was a layer of invisible protection blocking in front of his vision.
”There are nine movements in the Sky Cloud Sword Arts. After combing the sixth movement, it had become a top rank Earth Realm sword movement. The seventh movement should be just as powerful as the second movement of the Green Lotus Sword Art, while the eighth movement would be almost touching the edge of the Astral Realm sword movement. It would be the limit of the poetic perspective and the movements. I wonder how I would be able to get through.”
Up until now, Ye Chen had already realized that the Astral Realm martial arts were not something that someone could learn with simply a high comprehension ability. Without reaching that realm, there would not be a right moment to do so.
Whoo!
