Chapter 137: Defeated by Mong Chong Again, Named Quota

  Remember in one second

  "Ah! Ye Shixiong, we didn't know you were here."

  Just as Ye Chen was thinking, three female disciples appeared not far away, about 13 or 14 years old, lively and energetic. When they saw Ye Chen's bare upper body, they immediately blushed and turned their heads away.

  Ye Chen let out a wry smile. In his world, men going topless wasn't anything unusual, but this world was different. The Storage Ring's dim light flickered, and clean clothes appeared in his hand.

  "Dressed properly, Ye Chen asked: 'Are you looking for a place to practice?' "

  "Really! Brother Ye, why are you taking a bath here?" Among them, the round-faced female disciple was the most lovely. Just now, only she didn't turn her head away, but was covered by the other two female disciples.

  "I'm practicing here, if you don't mind, I'll let you have this place."

  After finishing speaking, Ye Chen's figure suddenly rose and swept to the top of the waterfall, disappearing without a trace after a few flashes.

  "Haha, I told you Ye Shixiong is a good person, but you didn't believe me."

  "Hehe, Ye Shixiong's figure is quite good, and his martial arts skills are also high."

  "Two senior sisters, why did Ye Shixiong want to run away?"

  ……

  Three days once went to Tengyun Hall, this has become a habit of Ye Chen.

  Actually, I don't necessarily accept tasks every time I go there. Mainly, it's because I can see some major events in Tianfeng Country from the task list, which is much better than being completely unaware of what's happening outside.

  As he passed by Yu Bei's side, Ye Chen turned his head and took a glance.

  His name was still the first one in the third row, the first and second rows were twenty-four core disciples. Of course, if he wanted to, he could become a core disciple at any time, and his ranking would be very high, at least among the top four. It's just that for now, he didn't have such plans, because when it came to 'Dark Fragrance Sword' Zhu Mei, Ye Chen's confidence wasn't great, unless he used Heart Refining Sword.

  "It's not like it would be particularly meaningful even if I became the number one core disciple."

  Shaking his head, Ye Chen was about to enter the Cloud Pavilion.

  "Look, Master Door is back!"

  "I heard he took on a Samsung Black-level mission this time, looks like it's already been completed."

  "Compared with the ranking competition within the sect, Master Meng Chong's progress is indeed great. I wonder how he compares to Master Ye Chen?"

  The disciples of the inner door nearby were discussing and speculating, their eyes fixed on Men Gong who had just returned from afar.

  Men Gong didn't mind being the center of attention, he said to Ye Chen in front of the main gate of Tengyun Hall: "Let's settle this at the Martial Arts Arena, I hope you can make some progress."

  "Turned around Ye Chen,"As you wish."

  It's one thing not to challenge others, but when others come to challenge you, they generally won't refuse. Moreover, even if they refuse, there must be sufficient reasons; otherwise, if everyone refuses, what's the point of having a ranking system, and competition can't be carried out either.

  As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area erupted into a commotion.

  "Men Gong is going to have a final showdown with Ye Chen again! What shocking news! Hurry up and inform the other brothers!"

  "After more than a month, both masters have made progress, and the duel is definitely more wonderful."

  "It seems that Meng Zhong won't be defeated by Ye Chen, and he doesn't plan on becoming a core disciple!"

  In less than a moment, almost all of the inner disciples of Liuyun Sect knew about this matter. Without saying another word, they immediately rushed to the Martial Arts Plaza.

  The Martial Arts Square gathered thousands of people in a short period, including two or three hundred inner disciples who didn't go to do their tasks. Outer disciples accounted for 80%, and several core disciples also arrived, wanting to see what level Ye Chen's and Men Gongchong's strength had reached.

  On the central platform.

  Ye Chen and Meng Gong slowly walked onto the stage.

  "It's been many months since we last met. If your progress isn't obvious, you might lose to me." Meng Chong's temperament was even more profound and introverted, with a subtle knife intent.

  Ye Chen glanced at his opponent and shook his head: "Indeed, there has been progress, but the distance between us is getting farther and farther."

  Hmph!

  Meng Chong sneered coldly, "You'll know when you've lost, and by then you'll take back those words."

  A strong gust of wind blew over, and Ye Chen's clothes and hair fluttered wildly.

  "He said: 'Let's get started!'"

  Clang!

  The long sword was drawn from its scabbard, and with a loud crash, it struck the ground, shooting towards Ye Chen like lightning.

  "Blood splashing across the sky!"

  As he journeyed, Meng Ge's hands grasped the long knife and swiftly chopped, due to the excessive speed, his arms seemed to have entered a void, leaving only the crimson blade edges crisscrossing, covering the entire platform, completely sealing off the space where Ye Chen was, making him unable to retreat, advance, or dodge, leaving only one path, which was to resist head-on.

  "Awesome, I wonder how Ye Chen Shixiong will counterattack?"

  "It seems like we have no choice but to work hard."

  "If the previous generation's strongest disciple had the current strength, becoming the first inner door disciple would be a certainty. Of course, if this time he defeats Ye Chen, he will still become the first inner door disciple."

  "It can't be that easy! Ye Chen Shixiong has been to Feicui Valley and seen the big scene, how could he not have made progress."

  The vast majority of people still do not know that Ye Chen defeated Gong Jun and Shi Po Tian, only those core disciples have some knowledge, of course, in another day or two, Ye Chen's deeds will inevitably spread, just don't know how much sensation it will cause.

  When the red blade reached its peak, Ye Chen drew his sword.

  Whoosh!

  No one saw how Ye Chen drew his sword, only a thin white line of sword energy flashed by, and Ye Chen's figure had already passed through the blood-red blade and stood behind Meng Ge.

  Right!

  Hmph!

  The long knife flew out of Meng Chong's hand, and his clothes under his armpits were also torn open, with an extremely fine cut.

  The sword returned to its scabbard, and Ye Chen said faintly, "Your knife skills are not bad, but unfortunately I have already advanced to a higher realm, you will no longer be my opponent."

  It's too strong, really too strong, to the point where there's not even a bit of resistance. Up until today, I never thought that our Meng Chong wouldn't be his match, but now I have no choice but to believe it because this kind of thing has happened and it's happened on our Meng Chong's body.

  The door burst open and a mighty shockwave surged through his heart, leaving him momentarily stunned in place.

  Not only was Meng Cong stunned, but all the inner and outer door disciples were also dull-eyed, their open mouths unable to close.

  The crow and sparrow on the field are silent.

  When they came to, Ye Chen had already left the Martial Arts Square.

  "Whoa, what did I just see? Ye Chen defeated Men Gong with a single sword strike, one sword! How strong must he be to achieve that!"

  "Overwhelming advantage, the gap is too frightening."

  "Among the inner disciples, there is no one who can threaten Ye Chen's position as a senior brother."

  "Just thinking about it makes one's scalp numb, Meng Chong Shixiong was able to defeat a top ten inner sect disciple with one knife, but Ye Chen Shixiong was able to defeat him with just one sword."

  Listening to the discussions of the inner door disciples, several core disciples who were watching looked at each other in dismay.

  ……

  Time is like water, quietly flowing away.

  Twenty days have passed and now it's already August.

  During this period, Ye Chen never stopped progressing, his true energy cultivation gradually approaching the late peak of the Condensing True Realm, and he was not far from Luo Hanshan and others. As for swordsmanship, even he himself didn't know what level it had reached, and it's estimated that only by exchanging blows with young masters at the Public Son level would there be an answer.

  Compared with his personal progress, Tianfeng Country had a big event.

  One of the Five Great Sects, the Zi Yang Sect actually produced a freak genius.

  This junior is a senior elder of the inner sect, but his true identity is actually a high-ranking expert under the command of the Corpse Ghost Path. He has been hiding in the Purple Sun Sect for 15 years and recently betrayed the sect for unknown reasons, killing one senior elder of the inner sect and three senior elders of the outer sect, shocking all major forces in Tianfeng Country.

  Ye Chen didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, but the core high-level members of various major sects were crystal clear. The plan to besiege the Corpse Ghost Mountain branch on August 8th had fallen through. The reason lay with a certain Ji Xi from the Zi Yang Sect. He had learned that they were going to besiege the Corpse Ghost Mountain branch and secretly sent word to the Corpse Ghost Mountain, but unexpectedly was discovered by another inner sect elder. A fierce battle ensued between the two sides, and later three outer sect elders arrived to help, making it four against one. However, Ji Xi's strength was truly formidable, and in a short period of time, he killed all four people. Not stopping at that, he directly escaped from the Zi Yang Sect.

  Liuyun Temple Hall

  At this time, all the elders of the inner door were discussing another matter.

  "The sect master, Tian Meng Gu Di will be opened in October, we should also determine which disciples to participate, and make preparations in advance."

  The speaker was the fourth elder.

  Luó Xíng Liè looked at everyone and asked: "Do you have any good ideas?"

  The Great Elder cleared his throat, "Tian Meng Gu Di is only open once every ten years, the opportunity is rare, after each trial, nearly one-tenth of the young generation enters the Bao Yuan realm, so we must let our most outstanding disciples go. Of course, our Liu Yun Sect is a 9th-grade sect, with only four quotas available, so I think Zhu Mei and Luo Han Shan are definitely going, plus Xu Jing."

  "What about the other one?" someone frowned.

  The four elders said: "I think Ye Chen is quite good."

  The old man nodded, he had this intention.

  Upon hearing this, several senior members of the inner sect immediately shook their heads.

  "Although Ye Chen's innate talent is high and he has grasped the half-step sword intent, his cultivation is clearly inferior to that of others. Letting him go makes no sense either emotionally or logically."

  "That's right, the Tianmeng Ancient Land is a place of inheritance for the ancient times. Every quota is extremely precious and cannot be wasted. It must be given to disciples who have the opportunity to break through the Huayuan boundary."

  "I think Tao Xiaofeng, who is ranked third among the core disciples, is pretty good."

  "The fourth option is also acceptable."

  The elder glanced at the people in the middle and said, "Tao Xiaofeng and Jing Jue are indeed good, but they can't be considered shocking talents. Even if they enter the Bao Yuan realm, they can only be considered elite, unable to kill across levels. As for Ye Chen, he has grasped half a step of sword intent. Given time, he will inevitably grasp the true sword intent. If his cultivation enters the Bao Yuan realm, what do you think his combat power would be?"

  "This..."

  A few dissenters were at one time unable to find words to refute.

  At this time, Luo Xinglie said, "The Tianmeng Ancient Land is in the great desert between the nine countries, tens of millions of miles away from the Liuyun Sect. It's not suitable to delay, let's set out half a month later. The names are Zhu Mei, Luo Hanshan, Xu Jing, and... Ye Chen."

  Upon hearing the last two words, the four elders and the great elder exchanged a smile.

  PS: I have a cold, and when I sleep, I swallow saliva. If I don't spit it out within a minute, I feel uncomfortable. Yesterday, after 2 o'clock, I didn't sleep all night, and today I slept for the whole day. Now I'm still feeling dizzy, so there won't be a second or third update, which means I owe two updates. I'm depressed. Yesterday, I worked hard to finish four chapters, but now I have to owe another chapter again. My mood is terrible, and I really don't have the energy to ask for anything, nor do I deserve to ask.
