288: Treasure Boy

In fact, whether it was Shen Xi, Liu Yiyi, or Ye Zirou, the hardships and difficulties they endured were no less than Xue Ye's.

Ever since they arrived at the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, they had been fighting relentlessly, fighting for Opportunities, fighting to temper themselves.

Just in the Sealed Land, everyone had been besieged by a large number of Yao Beasts more than once, narrowly escaping death.

Could Xue Ye's single statement about suffering countless hardships erase these perilous experiences?

While you are working hard, others are also working hard, even putting in ten or a hundred times more effort than you!

However, you only see your own efforts, but you haven't considered that others are working even harder than you in places you can't see.

In the end, all you do is complain, 'Why am I not as good as you?', 'Why are you so strong?', yet you don't realize that this strength was accumulated by them little by little behind the scenes.

The fatty and the others felt indignant!

Why was Xue Ye unwilling to accept this?

Had they not encountered enough life-and-death situations?

Yet, they were only at the Houtian Huajin Realm now.

Xue Ye had already reached the Half-Step Dianling Realm, so what more could he be dissatisfied with?

"Brother Shen once faced over three hundred thousand Yao Beasts alone. Would the dangers he encountered and the tempering he received be inferior to yours?"

"Brother Shen, with his wisdom, discerned the trials left by Senior Zhu Feng Ao and completed them step by step. Why should he be inferior to you!"

"Even we have encountered more than a dozen dangers during this period, fighting our way through each time. According to your logic, we should at least be at the Half-Step Dianling Realm by now."

The fatty and the others grew angrier as they spoke.

They felt that their efforts were being easily trampled upon by Xue Ye.

It was as if Xue Ye's efforts were efforts, while their efforts were all nonsense!

"Facing a siege of over three hundred thousand Yao Beasts?"

"Obtained Zhu Feng Ao's Legacy?"

"Encountered more than a dozen dangers?"

Xue Ye stood stunned in place.

He looked at everyone in disbelief.

He couldn't imagine what kind of scene that would be.

If he were in the same situation, Xue Ye believed he wouldn't survive; he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Wait, you obtained Zhu Feng Ao's Legacy? And the Wind Chasing Swordplay?"

Finally, Xue Ye reacted.

Zhu Feng Ao's Legacy!

The Wind Chasing Swordplay!

This was a Cultivation Technique that countless Secluded Factions yearned to obtain!

Not only Zhu Feng City, but even other factions were filled with a desire for the Wind Chasing Swordplay.

This was a Profound Grade Cultivation Technique, and if it were to spread to the outside world, it could cause Secluded Factions to contend for it, sparking a major war.

"That's right!"

Shen Xi admitted it directly.

From the moment Xue Ye appeared, he had already decided to take his life.

Therefore, it didn't matter even if Xue Ye knew he had obtained the Wind Chasing Swordplay.

A dead person cannot reveal secrets.

"You want to kill me?"

Xue Ye wasn't stupid and quickly reacted.

At the critical moment of life and death, he didn't dare to hesitate and immediately turned to run.

"You want to run? Did I agree to it?"

Shen Xi sneered and slapped again.

"No!"

Xue Ye felt a terrifying force coming from behind him and couldn't help but shriek hysterically.

He tried his best to resist, but everything was already in vain.

Boom!

Xue Ye was instantly flattened into a pulp!

Xue Ye, dead!

"Chen Fang, this saber is yours!"

Shen Xi controlled his True Qi, rolled the Crashing Wave Saber back, and casually tossed it to Chen Fang.

Chen Fang was also a saber wielder, a master with a saber, and the Crashing Wave Saber was perfect for him.

"Thank you, Brother Shen!"

Chen Fang didn't care about the bloodstains on the saber and took it smoothly.

As soon as he gripped it, his face couldn't help but show excitement.

A Yellow Grade Top-tier weapon, even among Secluded Factions, was a treasure that only direct descendants could obtain.

In the outside world, it was an existence with a price but no market.

With the Crashing Wave Saber, Chen Fang's combat power could rise another level. Not to mention rivaling Innate Transformation of Strength experts, he would at least have virtually no opponents among those at the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm.

"Is this kid Xue Ye here to deliver experience?"

"To be precise, he's here to deliver weapons!"

"Brother Chen Fang got a good deal!"

"Why isn't there another enemy who uses a saber? I could also get a new weapon."

The death of Xue Ye didn't particularly move anyone.

The world of a Martial Artist was inherently a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If you were weak, your life and death were not in your control. If you were strong, you could decide the life and death of others.

Life and death were already commonplace for Martial Artists, let alone for those who had just left the Sealed Land.

Moreover, Xue Ye had sought them out himself. Since he was an enemy, it was either him or them. It was simply that Xue Ye's skill was inferior.

If he had been stronger than Shen Xi, then everyone would be dead now.

Because of this, no one felt anything about Xue Ye's death.

"Alright, let's not let this small interlude affect our trip to the third Opportunity location."

After a pause, Shen Xi glanced at the fatty again and whispered, "Next time, I'll definitely get you a good saber too."

The fatty waved his hand, "I was just joking earlier."

The fatty was also a saber wielder.

It was just that due to his strength, he couldn't unleash the true power of the Crashing Wave Saber, which was why Shen Xi gave it to Chen Fang.

The fatty naturally knew this, and his words earlier were indeed a joke.

However, Shen Xi still kept this matter in mind.

They were all brothers; he couldn't favor one over the other... Treasure Gathering Valley.

This was the third Opportunity location.

Treasure Gathering Valley, as its name suggested, gathered all kinds of treasures.

There were Saint Grade healing items that could bring the dead back to life and mend broken bones, as well as Dian Ling Fruits that, upon consumption, could instantly lead to a Breakthrough to the Spirit Activation. There were even weapons left behind by Martial Dao Five Realms experts during their lifetimes.

No matter which one was obtained, it could be said to be priceless.

Once, a Martial Artist with incredibly good luck obtained an Embryonic Stage Fruit in Treasure Gathering Valley, directly Breaking Through to the Zhu Tai Realm. After leaving the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, he was courted by various major factions, and his status soared.

Currently, outside Treasure Gathering Valley, tens of thousands of Martial Artists had gathered.

These people were the cream of the crop among the Martial Artists who came to the Chasing Wind Secret Realm this time.

All of them were on the outskirts of Treasure Gathering Valley, eagerly awaiting the moment it would open.

Everyone knew that this would be the last major Opportunity in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, and this was their only chance to achieve a sudden surge in strength.

Because of this, many Martial Artists had already gone all out.

Even if it meant fighting to the death, they had to take a gamble.

Otherwise, wouldn't this trip to the Chasing Wind Secret Realm have been in vain?

Especially when they saw the strength of those around them rapidly advancing one by one, while they themselves remained stagnant, many Martial Artists began to envy and covet, urgently wanting to improve their strength.
