Chapter 28: Shattered Body Threefold (First Update)

  In an instant, the two originally shy young men and women, their lips tightly touched together, a numb, electric feeling instantly spread throughout both of their bodies.

  Ye Chen's eyes closed tightly, as if he was in a trance, his hands subconsciously reaching out to Shen Xiang's soft chest.

  "Hmm..."

  A extremely tempting voice came out of Shen Xian's mouth and entered Ye Chen's ears, like a shot of adrenaline to Ye Chen, making his desire even more intense. The hand on Shen Xian's soft chest grasped tightly once.

  "Hmm!"

  Shen Xiang felt a sharp pain in her chest, let out a muffled hum, but instead of stopping Ye Chen, she softened all over and nestled into his warm embrace.

  However, Shen Xian's low hum was like a basin of cold water, directly poured over Ye Chen's head, waking him up from his infatuation.

  Ye Chen suddenly woke up, his face flushed red as he stared at Shen Xiang, and in his mind, he had already hated himself to death: What was I just doing? How could I do such a thing to Xiang'er?

  Shen Xian felt Ye Chen's abnormality, slowly opening her eyes, and a hint of disappointment leaked from her narrow and long pupils. She quietly looked at Ye Chen, and after a moment, her face turned red, with a gentle and affectionate expression, she slowly spoke: "Chen Ge, I......"

  "I like you!" This is what Shen Xian wanted to say, but the last three words of "I like you" she couldn't get out of her mouth no matter what. It's not that Shen Xian didn't like Ye Chen, on the contrary, she liked him very much, which could be easily seen from her actions. However, the natural self-esteem, reserve and shyness that belonged to women made it impossible for her to speak up to Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen looked at Shen Qian's expression, thinking that Shen Qian was blaming himself for his earlier recklessness, and hastily said: "I... I'm sorry!" Then he quickly turned around and ran towards his own courtyard.

  Shen Xiang looked at Ye Chen's receding back, and it wasn't until a moment later that she came to her senses. She lightly bit her snow-white teeth on her lip, and with an expression of discontent, muttered to herself: "Every time it's like this, he's really so wooden! The other person is a girl, can't you take the initiative to speak up for once?!"

  ........

  Ye Chen's face turned bright red, like a frightened rabbit, and he rushed into his room, slamming the door shut with a "bang" and leaning against it to take deep breaths.

  "Wow~~~"

  "Don't think wildly, don't think wildly!"

  "Wow~~~"

  "Don't even think about it!"

  "Take... a deep breath!"

  It has to be said that deep breathing really works, after a moment, the red glow on Ye Chen's face gradually faded away, and his expression returned to normal, and the originally restless flames of desire were also suppressed.

  Ye Chen slowly turned around, pressed his head against the door gap, and looked at Shen Xiang's already distant figure. He muttered to himself: "Xiang'er, although I'm not very smart, I'm not stupid either. How could I see the kind of invisible aura you emit, which ordinary people wouldn't have? Although I don't know what kind of background you have, in my eyes, you are the most important person. It's just that the current me is not worthy of you!"

  Ye Chen took a deep breath, calming his fluctuating mood. He thought of the trial more than 20 days later and furrowed his brow: "There's only more than 20 days left! I'm still at Fragmented Body Second Level now, I must work hard!"

  Talk is cheap!

  Ye Chen hastily moved out his dilapidated alchemy furnace from the side, he was about to start preparing the indispensable "Body Nourishing Liquid" for his cultivation. Only with enough "Body Nourishing Liquid" would Ye Chen dare to cultivate recklessly, and only in this way could he increase his strength to the greatest extent in the shortest time.

  The familiar operation method, seven insect grass, Huangshen, Yuyang grass, Ling Shan, Ye Chen followed the order of throwing, and put them in one by one, the refining medicine has begun...

  Time passed minute by minute, Ye Chen devoted himself wholeheartedly to alchemy, and as the sky gradually darkened, the fragrance of medicine in Ye Chen's room grew stronger and stronger. If someone stood outside Ye Chen's room now, they might be able to smell the fragrance of medicine emanating from inside...

  ....

  A faint white light gradually appeared on the horizon at dawn, and sunlight shone through the window of Ye Chen's room, illuminating the room with specks of light.

  At this time, Ye Chen had been refining for a whole night, but heaven seemed to be blessing him as well. A night of refinement, and he didn't fail once, so Ye Chen reaped a rich harvest.

  "Too good!"

  Ye Chen exclaimed, carefully taking out the last batch of 'Nourishing Liquid' from the alchemy furnace and pouring it into a jade bottle that had been prepared in advance. Looking at the more than ten jade bottles in front of him, he revealed his white teeth: "There are fourteen bottles in total, adding to the one I originally owned, there are fifteen bottles, which is enough for me to use for a very long time."

  With so many 'body fluids', Ye Chen no longer used them sparingly, directly taking out five bottles of 'body fluid' and putting them in his bosom, and then putting the remaining few bottles together with the original one, immediately turning around and running towards the dense forest behind Lianyun Sect, preparing to start closed-door cultivation.

  In the dense forest, Ye Chen's previously prepared stone pit was still there, and even the water inside was still there, which saved Ye Chen from having to dig a hole and fill it with water.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly, took out a bottle of 'Rejuvenating Liquid' from his bosom and dripped it into the water pool. He didn't plan to rely on rest to recover from the fatigue of the night either, planning to use the 'Rejuvenating Liquid' directly to recover, which would reduce a lot of resting time.

  As he watched the color of the water change from clear to cyan, Ye Chen smiled slightly and quickly took off his clothes, jumping in directly.

  As Ye Chen entered the pool, a green gas floated up in the water and entered his body with each breath, at a speed much faster than before. It was like a dry riverbed that had finally received nourishment from the rain, crazily absorbing it.

  Yechen, with his eyes tightly closed, also felt the speed of absorption was extremely fast this time, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. He immediately calmed down quickly and absorbed the medicinal properties of the spiritual liquid in the water even more vigorously.

  Not long after, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes to see that the originally cyan water had become crystal clear. He smiled slightly and muttered to himself: "Now the absorption speed is also getting faster and faster. In the past, it took about an hour or so, but now not even half an hour is needed. This way, I can once again reduce the recovery time and use it all for cultivation."

  Ye Chen sprang up, quickly put on his clothes and rushed towards the training ground.

  Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a cool sensation in his muscles and bones that had just recovered. The feeling quickly filled his entire body, making him feel extremely refreshed. He couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

  Ye Chen's face lit up with joy, and based on his previous cultivation experience, this was a sign of an impending breakthrough. Ye Chen quickly closed his eyes, feeling the changes within his body.

  As the cool sensation permeated his entire body's bones, muscles and meridians, Ye Chen felt his strength rapidly increasing.

  In an instant, with Ye Chen as the center, within a radius of one meter, bursts of wind whistled, and the dazzling sunlight in the sky shone on the cyan gas that appeared around Ye Chen's body, also reflecting bursts of cyan light, looking extremely strange.

  At this time, if Ye Chen opened his eyes and looked at the cyan gas around him, he would be shocked.

  Cultivators in the Fragmented Body stage mainly focus on strengthening their physical body, and no true energy is produced within. Only when they reach the tenth level of Fragmented Body do they start producing true energy internally.

  The true energy is released, and it should be known that this is a strange phenomenon that appears when the body breaks through to the gathering period of ten layers. However, it now appears on Ye Chen's body, who has only broken through from the second layer to the third layer. All of this is due to the baptism of thunder that time, which created space in Ye Chen's bones, muscles, and meridians to store true energy. Of course, Ye Chen cannot discover these things now, and it will only be revealed when he reaches the tenth layer of body breaking through.

  "Slap"

  As a dull sound echoed within Ye Chen's body, he knew that the breakthrough had been successful! The true energy that was originally surrounding Ye Chen's body also dissipated in an instant, with most of it dispersing into the air. A very small portion of the true energy quickly attached itself to the surface of Ye Chen's body before directly merging into his body.

  A moment later, as the cool sensation in his body gradually dissipated, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a green light flashing across his eyes, and he excitedly looked at his powerful hands, letting out a long roar.

  "Ah!"

  As Ye Chen's roar echoed through the forest, the originally peaceful mountain woods suddenly became noisy.

  However, it seems that Ye Chen has made a breakthrough in such a short period of time, first breaking through the second fragmentation and then breaking through to the current third fragmentation. It seems fast, but not really, knowing what Ye Chen went through during this mission was a life-and-death battle, plus the 'Nourishing Liquid' assisted from the side, which made Ye Chen break through again so quickly.

  No matter who it is, no matter what kind of effort you put in, anyone can understand that only those who live on the edge of life and death have the possibility of becoming strong.

  Only when facing real life and death can people infinitely compress their potential.

  For example, a person with a demonic talent who cultivates in a safe place for ten years may become a strong master of the yuan dan realm. However, an ordinary person who lives on the edge of life and death all their life will not necessarily have a slower improvement than someone living in a safe place, but rather may even be faster by many times.

  Ye Chen was able to achieve this breakthrough precisely because of the intense battle against Single Strong and others last time, where he gave it his all and fought for his life. Adding to that, the battle at Wangjia Village further solidified his foundation, making such a breakthrough not entirely impossible.

  Ye Chen's right hand transformed into a powerful claw and fiercely struck towards the tree trunk on his right side.

  Bang!

  A crisp sound, the tree trunk as thick as an adult's leg was cut off at the waist and fell to Yechen's feet with a 'crash'.

  Ye Chen's eyes shone with excitement as he gazed at his right hand, which had just executed the Dragon Subduing Hand. He muttered to himself in delight: "The Dragon Subduing Hand truly lives up to its reputation as a fourth-grade martial skill! Although it's only the first form, with my current cultivation level, having just broken through the third stage of the Fragmented Body, I can actually unleash an attack that's almost on par with a full-powered strike at the fourth stage of the Fragmented Body."

  "Rumble!"

  But at this moment a loud noise came from not far in front of Ye Chen...
