39: Scare Yang Bufan away, and I will kill you next time!

"What is that guy doing entering the Ink Dragon Tower again?"

Watching Ye Chen's actions, Yan Chunqiu and the other two were also stunned.

They looked around at the others, only to find that everyone present had an expression of already being accustomed to it.

This made Yan Chunqiu a little curious.

He pulled over a member of the Jiangnan Training Camp and asked, "Ye Chen entered the Ink Dragon Tower; aren't you surprised at all? After all, he is a Prodigy who reached the sixth floor consecutively within a week!"

However, facing Yan Chunqiu's inquiry, the surrounding crowd remained very calm.

"Surprised? What's there to be surprised about when this guy comes every day?"

"It's nothing more than him lasting an extra ten minutes or succeeding today, right?"

"Small potatoes, all small potatoes, we've seen it all before!"

Listening to everyone's responses, Yan Chunqiu and the other two exchanged glances and were all dumbfounded.

A moment later, Kong Jie slowly spoke, her voice, like her appearance, carrying a hint of coldness.

"After reaching the sixth floor, it's not that simple anymore. The guardians of the sixth floor, and those after it, all master Perfection-level Tier 3 Martial Arts. Not to mention within the same Realm, even when I first passed the sixth floor, I only managed it at the seventh level of Bone Forging."

Yan Chunqiu nodded, "That's right, after reaching the sixth floor, the difficulty increases. What Realm were you in when you passed the sixth floor?"

Saying this, Yan Chunqiu looked at Yang Bufan beside him.

Yang Bufan grumbled, "Also the seventh level of Bone Forging, and it took some effort to succeed."

Hearing this, Yan Chunqiu smiled and said, "When Ye Chen passed by me just now, I noticed that he only had a cultivation of the fifth level of Bone Forging. He'll probably only last about ten minutes in there at most. It won't be easy for him to succeed in clearing the challenge."

"However, it's worth watching, after all, this guy... his talent is truly a bit Prodigy!"

As he spoke, a glint flashed in Yan Chunqiu's eyes.

Reaching the sixth floor in a week's time—such talent shocked even him, the current number one person in the Jiangnan Training Camp.

With Yan Chunqiu speaking, Kong Jie and Yang Bufan said nothing more, just quietly watching the Ink Dragon Tower before them... Meanwhile, inside the Ink Dragon Tower.

Ye Chen looked at the figure in a bamboo hat before him. The hat-wearing person carried a sword box on his back.

"Last time, I didn't even force out your sword box. This time..."

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

Immediately after, he transformed into a white streak of light, instantly charging towards the hat-wearing person.

The Cloud Soaring Sword quietly appeared, instantly unleashing strands of Sword Aura.

The Minor Achievement-level Sword Aura instantly erupted with terrifying power.

Under this might, the hat-wearing person finally couldn't help but draw the sword box from his back. A dark golden longsword instantly clashed with Ye Chen's Sword Aura.

Bang!!

A muffled sound exploded throughout the sixth floor of the Ink Dragon Tower.

Stirring up waves of terrifying Qi.

Suddenly, Ye Chen's movements changed again.

It was the Major Achievement-level Nine Heavens Cloud Piercing Sword!

In an instant, the power of the Cloud Soaring Sword became even greater, forcefully suppressing the hat-wearing person's dark golden longsword.

However... the guardian of the sixth floor, just as Yan Chunqiu said, was not a simple existence. Not only did he possess a cultivation of the sixth level of Bone Forging, but he also mastered a Perfection-level Martial Arts.

A sharp edge erupted from the hat-wearing person, unleashing the Perfection-level Tier 3 Martial Arts he had mastered.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

Throughout the entire sixth floor, a series of faint hums resonated.

The power that a Perfection-level Tier 3 Martial Arts could unleash was exceptionally terrifying.

However... even facing this Perfection-level Tier 3 Martial Arts, Ye Chen's face remained incredibly calm. It was just that the Minor Achievement-level Sword Aura instantly erupted at this moment.

The Sword Aura Realm is the first Realm on the Dao of the sword, but even to enter this Realm, one must have a Tier 3 cultivation.

Once one can master the Sword Aura Realm, the power of sword techniques will increase by at least thirty percent.

And now, the Minor Achievement-level Sword Aura... is enough to boost this increase to fifty percent!

A Major Achievement Tier 3 Martial Arts with a fifty percent boost is already comparable to an ordinary Perfection-level Tier 3 Martial Arts!

Not to mention, Ye Chen's Xuan Tan Breathing Method has also reached Minor Achievement. Although he only has a cultivation of the fifth level of Bone Forging, under the augmentation of the Breathing Technique, its quality is in no way inferior to a Martial Artist at the sixth, or even seventh, level of Bone Forging.

Rings of sword cries echoed, accompanied by streaks of sharp edges, shooting in all directions.

On the platform's ground and the walls of the surrounding buildings, terrifying sword marks were left behind.

Bang!

Another muffled sound exploded.

The dark golden longsword in the hat-wearing person's hand instantly flew out, and a ghastly sword mark was left on the hat-wearing person's chest, though it was unclear when it appeared.

"Success!"

Ye Chen looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly curving upwards, while the Cloud Soaring Sword was already strapped to his back.

The next moment, the hat-wearing person's figure slowly dissipated.

In its place was a dark golden pill, silently suspended in mid-air.

Ye Chen looked at the dark golden pill before him, and brilliant light erupted in his eyes.

"This is... a Tier 3 Breakthrough Pill!"

Waves immediately surged in Ye Chen's heart.

Breakthrough Pills exist for every Realm, and Breakthrough Pills for different Realms have different effects.

For example, this Tier 3 Breakthrough Pill before him, as long as one is at Tier 3 or below, can directly break through one Realm!

And there are no side effects whatsoever.

"A Tier 3 Breakthrough Pill, ah. If I take this Breakthrough Pill, I'll immediately be able to Breakthrough to the sixth level of Bone Forging."

"However, such a precious item shouldn't be consumed now; it would be a bit of a waste. When I Cultivate to the Peak of Bone Forging, and then use it with this Breakthrough Pill, I'll be able to immediately Breakthrough to Tier 3 Bone Forging!"

Ye Chen said with a smile, extending his hand and instantly taking the Tier 3 Breakthrough Pill into his grasp.

"I can go and check out the seventh floor now. If I remember correctly, Yang Bufan was the one who passed the seventh floor!"

As Ye Chen spoke, his figure walked towards the seventh floor... Meanwhile, outside the Ink Dragon Tower.

Yan Chunqiu calculated the time and said with a smile, "Eight minutes have passed. I estimate that in a few more minutes, Ye Chen will reach his limit."

Kong Jie nodded, "To be able to last ten minutes on the sixth floor at the fifth level of Bone Forging, that strength is already very good."

"It seems, three weeks from now, Yang Bufan, you'll have an opponent!"

Yang Bufan remained silent beside them, but one could see a hint of solemnity on his brows.

And at this moment, at the location of the Ink Dragon Tower.

The light of the sixth floor instantly dimmed, followed by the light of the seventh floor instantly shining.

This scene instantly caused the expressions on Yan Chunqiu and Kong Jie's faces to stiffen slightly.

Immediately after, Yan Chunqiu's eyes widened even further: "This is... he passed the sixth floor???"

"No, how could he, a fifth-level Bone Forging Martial Artist, pass the sixth floor!"

Yan Chunqiu said with some disbelief. He truly couldn't understand how Ye Chen, at the fifth level of Bone Forging, managed to do it. One must know that both Yang Bufan and Kong Jie only successfully passed the sixth floor after breaking through to the seventh level of Bone Forging.

Even he only successfully passed it at the sixth level of Bone Forging.

And Ye Chen actually managed it at only the fifth level of Bone Forging!

"Could it be... he mastered a Perfection-level Tier 3 Martial Arts? But that shouldn't be the case; the guardian of the sixth floor also mastered a Perfection-level Tier 3 Martial Arts!"

Yan Chunqiu kept pondering, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't figure out how Ye Chen did it.

This matter was truly too astonishing.

Kong Jie, beside him, showed an even more solemn expression: "This person... is somewhat of a Prodigy."

Yang Bufan, witnessing this scene, turned and left without a word.

"What are you doing!"

Yan Chunqiu shouted loudly at Yang Bufan.

"Going back to Cultivate in seclusion!"

Yang Bufan grumbled in response, even quickening his pace after replying.

Successfully passing the sixth floor in seven or eight days—such speed made Yang Bufan feel a strong sense of crisis.

He even felt... if Ye Chen continued at this pace, his agreed-upon battle with Ye Chen three weeks later might very well end in his defeat.

Yang Bufan wasn't afraid of losing, but what was truly terrifying was being defeated by a guy who had only joined the Jiangnan Training Camp for barely a month!

That would truly be too humiliating.

The more he thought about it, Yang Bufan didn't even dare to walk anymore; he directly started running, preparing to seize the time to Cultivate and Breakthrough to Tier 3.

Watching Yang Bufan leave quickly, Yan Chunqiu came back to his senses, looking at the Ink Dragon Tower, his gaze gradually becoming complex, and even... a hint of apprehension emerged... Ye Chen left the Ink Dragon Tower. On the seventh floor, Ye Chen didn't even last a minute this time before being directly defeated.

The guardian of the seventh floor had a cultivation at the Peak of the ninth level of Bone Forging, coupled with mastering a Tier 3 Perfection-level Martial Arts. Such battle power... was close to the tenth level of Bone Forging, even approaching Tier 3.

And those who were watching outside the Ink Dragon Tower even saw Ye Chen walking out, cursing and patting his backside.

"Damn it, daring to hit this young master's backside! Next time this young master comes, I'll kill you!"

If an ordinary person said such words, it might cause a burst of laughter, after all, wanting to pass the seventh floor on the second try?

What a joke!

However, since these words were spoken by Ye Chen, they did not elicit any opposition from anyone.
