47: Special relic, third level of bone forging!

Jiang Feng immediately explained, "This ruin, logically speaking, was only left behind by a fifth-order Martial Artist; it is not a particularly powerful ruin, so the requirements should not be particularly high."

"After all, the Prodigies we screen every year, after entering the Martial Arts Academy, are usually able to reach the fifth-order level after graduation."

"Logically, the talent of these people should meet the requirements of this ruin."

"But strangely, according to those who are eliminated from the ruin every year, the requirements of this ruin are almost comparable to those of some sixth-order ruins."

"Moreover, we still haven't managed to investigate who the owner of this ruin is, or which fifth-order expert fell here."

While explaining, Jiang Feng's expression was slightly awkward.

As the training camps for two major provinces, the Jiangnan Training Camp and the Jiangbei Training Camp, backed by the power of both provinces, had actually failed to investigate the background of the owner of this ruin.

If this were to spread, it would likely be a huge embarrassment.

Yet, even with the intelligence capabilities of these two major training camps, it still couldn't be investigated.

This goes to show... the peculiarity of this ruin.

"So, you want me to go to the ruin and obtain the Legacy of the ruin!"

Ye Chen blinked and looked at Jiang Feng in front of him.

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "It's not necessarily that I need you to obtain the Legacy of the ruin; it's mainly to annoy—no, that's not right—it's mainly to suppress the Jiangbei Training Camp!"

Jiang Feng looked at Ye Chen with a smile, "That ruin opens once every year. There is only one month left until the next opening. In one month, you will enter the ruin together with Yan Chunqiu, Kong Jie, and Yang Bufan."

"I don't ask you to be able to obtain the Legacy of the ruin, after all, no one has been able to get it for so many years, but you must give those brats from the Jiangbei Training Camp a hard time inside the ruin for me."

"After all, for so many years, every time we enter the ruin for the Legacy, our Jiangnan Training Camp has been at a disadvantage."

As Jiang Feng spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

Clearly, they have the same foundation and the same strength, yet every year, the Jiangbei Training Camp manages to suppress the Jiangnan Training Camp.

This made Jiang Feng, the Head Instructor of the Jiangnan Training Camp, feel a bit of a headache.

Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully and then said, "So... isn't that just because the people before were too useless?"

Jiang Feng...

The expression on Jiang Feng's face suddenly stiffened.

This guy doesn't know when to stop, does he?

Can't he get over the word "useless"?

If it weren't for Ye Chen's talent being truly monstrous, which made Jiang Feng see hope that they could suppress the Jiangbei Training Camp this year, Jiang Feng would have really wanted to take action against Ye Chen.

"So, do I get any benefits?"

Ye Chen looked at Jiang Feng, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile.

Jiang Feng was stunned. The look in his eyes as he watched Ye Chen gradually became strange, "No, letting you enter the ruin is already the greatest benefit, what else do you want?"

You must know that inside the ruin, there is not only the Legacy of this fifth-order expert, but also the cultivation resources left behind by this expert, and even Martial Arts and Breathing Techniques.

Such benefits are something that even the entire Jiangnan Training Camp cannot provide.

This kid is still not satisfied.

But looking at Ye Chen's expression, after a moment of silence, Jiang Feng slowly said, "On the Jiangbei Training Camp side, there are also four people. If you can beat one of them, I will give you three thousand points, how about that!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes instantly lit up. He grabbed Jiang Feng's hand and said, "Head Instructor, you know me; I am the type of person who loves beating others up the most."

Jiang Feng instantly pulled back his hand. Under Ye Chen's gaze, Jiang Feng felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Alright, alright, let me make it clear first. There is still one month left. According to the average level of the Jiangbei Training Camp, the four Prodigies they send in every year are all at the third-order level, basically all of them are at Bone Forging level 3, and it is even possible that some have strength above that."

"You have only just broken through to the third-order. In one month, can you reach Bone Forging level 3?"

Jiang Feng asked.

Ye Chen rubbed his nose and said, "I should be able to!"

Jiang Feng looked at Ye Chen suspiciously, then said nothing more, only saying, "Alright, I have told you about the matter anyway. During this period of time, you had better honestly Cultivate in the Cloud Domain Space and don't cause any trouble for me."

After speaking, Jiang Feng turned and left.

After Jiang Feng left, Ye Chen excitedly returned to his bed.

"A ruin of a fifth-order expert, hehe, I wonder what kind of good treasures an expert of this level has."

Ye Chen fell into a reverie.

Ye Chen was not very interested in the Legacy of this fifth-order expert. After all, with the System, he naturally didn't need to worry about Breathing Techniques and Martial Arts.

They could all be upgraded anyway.

However, cultivation resources and some Spiritual Artifacts were what Ye Chen needed.

"Hehe, three thousand points per head. If I beat them all up, that would be twelve thousand points. With this many points, I could even exchange for a fourth-order Spirit Sword."

"At that time... tsk tsk tsk!"

Ye Chen fell into his fantasies, looking extremely excited.

...

After Jiang Feng informed Ye Chen about the ruin, the next day, Ye Chen once again entered into crazy cultivation.

According to the agreement he made with Jiang Feng earlier, he could not challenge the Ink Dragon Tower within half a month to avoid damaging the confidence of the members of the Jiangnan Training Camp.

Therefore, during this half a month, besides spending four days Cultivating in the Cloud Domain Space, Ye Chen spent his time in the small courtyard grinding proficiency alone.

When the time limit arrived, Ye Chen headed to the Ink Dragon Tower.

Without much effort, he cleared the eighth floor and obtained the Opportunity of the eighth floor.

At the same time, Ye Chen's ranking also rose to just below Yan Chunqiu.

This scene shocked the entire membership of the Jiangnan Training Camp, and even Yan Chunqiu felt immense pressure and began crazy training.

This led to the scene where, besides Ye Chen in the early days, Yan Chunqiu appeared every day to challenge the Ink Dragon Tower.

However, the ninth floor was much more difficult than the eighth floor. If the eighth floor required at least the combat strength of Bone Forging level 3, then the ninth floor required combat strength above Bone Forging level 6.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to clear the ninth floor of the Ink Dragon Tower.

Consequently, even though Yan Chunqiu came to the Ink Dragon Tower every day, there was no hope of seeing him clear it.

Instead, Ye Chen, after obtaining the Opportunity of the eighth floor, once again entered into hard training.

Soon, another half a month passed.

On this day, Ye Chen was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a powerful aura continuously diffusing from his body, accompanied by a pressure that enveloped the entire room in the small courtyard.

It is unknown how much time had passed, but Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.

With a thought, the System panel slowly emerged in front of Ye Chen.

【 name: Ye Chen 】

【 cultivation: Bone Forging Martial Artist (29 / 100) 】

【 Kai Heng Breathing Technique: Minor Achievement (55 / 100) 】

【 Nine Thousand Wind Thunder Steps: Minor Achievement (55 / 100) 】

【 Chenyang Swordplay: Minor Achievement (55 / 100) 】

【 Sword Light: Minor Achievement (55 / 100) 】

"I've reached Bone Forging level 3, and I'm only one step away from Bone Forging level 4. It's just that the progress of this Breathing Technique and Martial Arts..."

Ye Chen looked at the System panel and fell into deep thought.

Ever since his Breathing Technique and Martial Arts advanced to the fourth order, Ye Chen discovered that their improvement speed was becoming slower and slower.

If he Cultivated in the small courtyard, automatic cultivation could only increase the progress by six points a day, and that was still at the introductory stage.

After reaching Minor Achievement, it could only increase the progress by three points a day.

Even in the Cloud Domain Space, where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is four times that of the small courtyard, after a day, the introductory stage only increased by twenty-something points.

At the Minor Achievement stage, it was only twelve points.

This made Ye Chen feel confused.

"Could it be because of the transition from the third order to the fourth order?"

Ye Chen rubbed his chin, and couldn't help but recall when he first entered the Martial Arts Class, Zhang Long had said that from the third order to the fourth order is a leap in life.

It can be said that he has already transcended the level of a Mortal.

Then, for the third-order Breathing Techniques and Martial Arts to become fourth-order, is that also a kind of leap?

So, the improvement speed of Breathing Techniques and Martial Arts from the first to third order is about the same, but after the fourth order, it becomes slower?

"It should be like this. After the Breathing Technique and Martial Arts reach the fourth order, they become slower and slower to Cultivate. It took me a month to reach Minor Achievement. If I want to reach Major Achievement, it will take another week, and if I reach Major Achievement, the speed will decrease even further."

"Even in the Cloud Domain Space, if I want to raise the Breathing Technique and Martial Arts to Perfection, I would have to stay inside for half a month. If I were outside... it would take several months."

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, his voice carrying a trace of melancholy.

"It's too slow!"

If these inner thoughts of Ye Chen were known by Jiang Feng and some fourth-order Martial Artists, they would probably kill Ye Chen directly.

You must know that Jiang Feng, having stepped into the fourth order, has stayed at this Realm for more than ten years, and has only gone from just entering the fourth order to his current fourth-order level 5.

His Breathing Technique and Martial Arts are still only at the Major Achievement Realm.

And Ye Chen, in just one month, has raised his Breathing Technique and Martial Arts to Minor Achievement; this speed is already astonishing.

Even in the Star River Academy, he would absolutely belong to the top tier of people in history.

And yet... this kid is still not satisfied!

Ye Chen recovered from his melancholy.

"I am about to enter the ruin. It's just right to have a good sprint before entering the ruin."
