Chapter 507: The Pressure Ye Chen Brought With Him

Easy things could be achieved in a short period of time, but complicated things would take a bit longer. However, learning the gold profound seemed to make time move faster for Ye Chen. Every time he woke up from his learning mode, it would have been ten days or half a month since he entered his learning state. In order to spend more time with his family and also work on stabilizing what he had learned, Ye Chen would only go to the Extreme Void every other week.
Within a blink of an eye, four months had passed all of a sudden. There were only three days before the upcoming martial tea gathering. The venue of the event had already finished its construction one month ago.
Right now, the central martial city in the middle of the Mysterious Hills was extra crowded. The visitors' number had continually grown everyday; everyone was talking about the upcoming event.
Inside the cafes and restaurants were countless handsome young warriors. Of course, there were more young warriors from the South Rudra Region. Even though they might not have been able to join the actual tea gathering, they still wanted to meet as many top martial geniuses from other regions; such as the Edict Prince, Thunder Princess, and the Astral Spirit son, who had the highest reputation, and especially their regional legend, Ye Chen. After countless years, the South Rudra Region had finally climbed to the top, and it was all because of one warrior named Ye Chen.
”Look! This is the martial genius that is just below the Thunder Princess inside the thunder region, Beast Prince Mo Xiang. I heard that he had battled with Ye Chen in the last tea gathering.”
”Where? Let me have a look.”
Inside a cafe, the young warriors from the South Rudra Region discussed about Mo Xiang while secretly pointing fingers excitedly. It also included the group of people from the Sky Cloud Martial School.
”Such powerful qi! I cannot even breath in front of him.” Luo Hanshan was frightened as he exchanged a look with Zhu Mei and Zhang Haoran. They could not help but think of Ye Chen, remembering that he had beaten these people in the last tea gathering and eventually became the unbeaten legend.
Mo Xiang made a face as he frowned, ”These people are too weak. I have no idea how could someone like Ye Chen grow out of that.”
”One or two of them always slip through the crack, you know? I wonder how much Ye Chen had grown in the past years. I want the gathering to start now!”
The Black Sword Artist, who had lost to Ye Chen before, was walking along with Ye Chen somehow.
”It has been two whole years. He must have grown even stronger. But, the other three must have improved a lot as well. Living at the same time as them is such a sad thing.”
”Yeah! With two years of training, I had barely gotten where they were back then. Of course, even if I somehow were to encounter them at their level from two years ago, I think I would still be more likely to lose than win…Not to mention the today we are in right now.”
There were more and more people appearing inside the Martial city, and the noise generated was also getting louder and louder. One day later, the Thunder Princess Jing Aoxuan and the Edict Prince Li Xiaoyun arrived one after another. On the same evening, Chu Zhongtian also arrived in the crowded Martial City with his aggressive qi. Up until now, three out of the top four people from the South Rudra Region had arrived.
…
”As the host, Ye Chen is so out of the order. Why hasn't he shown up yet?” In the middle of the restaurant, Li Xiaoyun joked.
Chu Zhongtian held both of his hands in front of his chest, ”Don't worry! As long as he shows up in the tea gathering…”
”It seems like brother Chu is very confident!” Li Xiaoyun glanced at Chu Zhongtian and squeezed his eyes. He could sense the dangerous qi coming from the other, who was sitting there was like a powerful beast in slumber. Although it was at rest, but it could jump out at oneself at any time.
Chu Zhongtian made a grunt; Li Xiaoyun and Jing Aoxuan had both exceeded his expectation. One of them had the sky-deep qi while the other had an extremely powerful thunder will power, which were both more than twice as powerful as in the last tea gathering.
Of course, Chu Zhongtian wanted powerful opponents, the more powerful the better. Otherwise, there would be no point for him even in trying to compete with them.
Days passed by, yet Ye Chen was still not there.
On the street, young warriors were seen everywhere. Lin Qi, Su Wen, and Yu Yue were among them as well.
”Having not gone out for a while, I really have become a frog in the well, not knowing the wonders in the outside world. After walking through one street, I realised that nine out of ten people are more powerful than I am.”
As the leader of the North Snow Martial School, Su Wen seemed to have matured. But, he still carried the ambition and passion a young man should have with him, perhaps even more so than before.
Yu Yue said, ”Before, I thought that Ye Chen had over exaggerated the power level of the tea gathering. But judging from what is happening in front of me, I think he was still talking it down a bit. Lin Qi, I am not trying to talk you down.”
”Only with this kind of confrontation can I grow. I do not mind.” Lin Qi was very calm.
Hearing him, Su Wen nodded secretly. Lin Qi did not have a high talent even in the windy nation; he was not the number one warrior with the highest potential, or the second. But, his success was just below Ye Chen, which had a lot to do with this attitude toward things.
On the other street…
Liu Wuxiang looked over at Zhuang Fei and Ji Xueyan, ”What do you guys think?”
Ji Xueyan did not talk for a while, then said slowly, ”Very powerful! Not a single of them is weak. If they come to the Windy nation, besides the top warrior, all of the other rankings would have to be pushed back.”
”Indeed!” Zhuang Fei could not deny it.
Liu Wuxiang forced a chuckle, ”Walking amongst them, I feel like a child with no fighting power. Ah well, let's just be a plain audience! It is a chance Ye Chen has fought for us, and also an opportunity for us to see the gap between us and them.”
It was not scary to have a gap, but what would be scarier was not knowing how big the gap was.
…
After three days, the tea gathering was held officially.
A thousand miles away from the Martial City was a meadow surrounded by sky-reaching mountains. It covered hundreds of miles, and had an extremely intense gravity. The grasses were even taller than the trees; a majestic garden had been built in the centre of the meadow. It was surrounded by hundred meters tall walls, which was guarded by ten thousand Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, in case people tried to sneak in. Of course, it was just a formality; even if someone wanted to go inside, the guards' Clasping Yuan Realm would not be able to stop anyone. However, there would not be people that stupid, since there would be countless hidden talents behind those walls. Without a cultivation at Sea of Souls Realm at least, no one would dare to break the rules. And even if it were a Sea of Souls Realm warrior, he or she would want to keep his or her reputation.
There were four entrances to the garden, with battling power testing columns at each door.
