58: Level 4! What? You want to destroy the Scarlet Church?
Beside Ye Chen, a black figure slowly emerged. He looked at the Qi and blood fluctuations emanating from Ye Chen and his expression was slightly surprised.
"Such dense Qi and blood power, it's even denser than some Flying Sky Warriors at the first layer. What kind of monster is this guy?"
"But then again, he's already achieved Minor Achievement in a fifth-tier Breathing Technique. He's completely a monster!"
The black figure sighed, but still couldn't help but shake his head.
"However, even so, breaking the first shackles is not an easy task. Using one's own body to break the shackles, the fastest speed so far has only been half a year."
"Even if your talent is more Heaven-Defying than that person's, it's impossible to break these shackles within two months."
As the black figure spoke, he was about to continue when his pupils suddenly constricted slightly.
As if sensing something, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on his face.
"How is this possible!!!"
The black figure stared intently at Ye Chen.
He could feel waves, like ripples, emanating from Ye Chen's body, releasing an extremely terrifying energy.
Faintly, a cracking sound seemed to spread from Ye Chen's body.
Immediately after... BOOM!!!
Rumbling sounds echoed from within Ye Chen's body, as if an unceasing river was washing over his physique at this moment.
Crack!
Another crisp sound rang out, but this time, it was clearly clearer and brighter.
The black figure's pupils trembled even more. He stared fixedly at Ye Chen, sensing an energy fluctuation from his body that only a fourth-tier Martial Artist could possess.
"Breakthrough... to the fourth-tier!!!"
The black figure exclaimed, his expression filled with shock.
At this moment, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, and a faint glow emanated from them.
Ye Chen didn't speak, but his gaze was fixed on the Void Realm, where a System panel, visible only to Ye Chen, slowly appeared.
"name: Ye Chen"
"cultivation: Flying Sky Warrior (1/100)"
"Kai Heng Devouring Heaven Art: Minor Achievement (49/100)"
"Heavenly Thunder Step: Minor Achievement (49/100)"
"Mystic Void Sword Art: Minor Achievement (49/100)"
"Sword Qi: Minor Achievement (9/100)"
"Finally, I've entered the Flying Sky Realm!"
At this moment, a slight curve appeared on Ye Chen's lips.
"However, after Breathing Technique and Martial Arts reached the fifth-tier, even in this fourth-tier Another Dimension, the efficiency of cultivation has decreased significantly."
"In this month and a half, I'm still a little short of half the proficiency. If I want to raise fifth-tier Breathing Technique and Martial Arts to Minor Achievement, it will probably take another month and a half."
"It's a pity, I don't have that much time. The College Entrance Examination is in half a month."
Ye Chen said with some emotion.
Fifth-tier Breathing Technique and Martial Arts are normally only Cultivated by fifth-tier Martial Artists. Ye Chen has just broken through to the Flying Sky Realm, and to have made such progress is already very Heaven-Defying.
At least... among all the fourth-tier Martial Artists in the entire Great Xia, Ye Chen's mastery of Breathing Technique and Martial Arts Realm can be considered among the upper-middle tier.
"Is there any other way to become stronger before the College Entrance Examination?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and began to ponder.
He looked at the black figure, and although he didn't say anything, it already conveyed a lot.
Being stared at by Ye Chen, the black figure couldn't help but shiver.
He didn't know why, but he was a little afraid of Ye Chen now. After all, the black figure couldn't guess Ye Chen's thought process at all.
If Ye Chen suddenly punched him, it would be hard to say what would happen.
However, it only took a moment for the black figure to understand Ye Chen's intentions.
"Ahem, actually, I also know some Scarlet Church strongholds. There... should be a lot of resources hidden."
As soon as he said this, Ye Chen's eyes instantly lit up.
He took a step, directly arriving beside the black figure, and with one hand holding the black figure, he said affectionately, "Let's... make a plan!"
..."What? You want to go deal with the Scarlet Church??"
In the Head Instructor's office, Jiang Feng stared intently at Lu Sheng in front of him, his expression extremely strange. He even reached out and placed his hand on Ye Chen's forehead, asking confusedly.
"He doesn't have a fever, does he?"
Jiang Feng looked puzzled.
"No, is there a problem with that?"
Ye Chen slapped Jiang Feng's hand away, also asking in confusion.
Jiang Feng fell silent, and after a long silence, he finally couldn't help but say to Ye Chen, "Is there a possibility that the people of the Scarlet Church are not someone you can contend with?"
"Don't be afraid, I've already broken through to the fourth-tier!"
Ye Chen said calmly.
"Even if... huh? You've broken through to the fourth-tier???"
Jiang Feng was about to say something, but then he suddenly snapped back to reality and stared intently at Ye Chen.
"What did you just say? You've broken through to the fourth-tier???"
Jiang Feng's voice instantly became sharp. His hands immediately fell on Ye Chen's shoulders, and after sensing Ye Chen's cultivation, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"He really broke through to the fourth-tier?"
Jiang Feng was a bit bewildered. One had to know that even he had taken two full years to break through from the third-tier to the fourth-tier.
How long had Ye Chen taken?
If he remembered correctly, Ye Chen had just broken through to Bone Forging tenth-layer a month and a half ago, right?
At that time, Ye Chen hadn't even Cultivated to the Peak of the third-tier.
In a month and a half, from just breaking through Bone Forging tenth-layer to breaking through to the fourth-tier.
Such speed... was unheard of in the entire Great Xia.
"Hiss!"
Jiang Feng couldn't help but gasp. He had never seen such a terrifying guy.
Even as the Head Instructor of the Jiangnan Training Camp, his face was filled with shock at this moment.
However, after pondering for a long time, Jiang Feng still said, "Even if you've broken through to the fourth-tier, what can you, someone who just broke through to the fourth-tier, do?"
"You have to know that the Scarlet Church is spread throughout the entire Great Xia. Even if their power in our Jiangnan Province isn't the strongest, they're not that easy to contend with."
"A Branch Leader is a fifth-tier powerhouse. Are you saying you can contend with a fifth-tier powerhouse?"
Ye Chen said indifferently, "Don't go to the large strongholds, just go to the small ones, wouldn't that work?"
"Heh heh, small strongholds? Do you know where these small strongholds are? And you're just going to go?"
Jiang Feng sneered.
Are you kidding? The Scarlet Church's strongholds are extremely secretive. Even the Jiangnan Martial Alliance has investigated for so long, both openly and secretly, and still hasn't found out where the Scarlet Church's strongholds are.
Especially the small strongholds. Precisely because they are so small, they are even more hidden than the large strongholds.
The entire Martial Alliance can't find them, so are you, Lu Sheng, going to find them?
What kind of international joke is that!
Jiang Feng thought disdainfully.
However, Ye Chen still said calmly, "I can find them!"
"You can find them?"
Jiang Feng was dumbfounded now. He looked at Ye Chen, wanting to see a hint of something on Ye Chen's face, but in the end, Jiang Feng was disappointed.
Ye Chen showed no signs of lying.
"You can really find them?"
Jiang Feng asked suspiciously, his heart, however, couldn't help but become excited.
Although the Scarlet Church's small strongholds were nothing much, if they could be eradicated, it would be a great achievement.
Even... there were quite a few resources in these small strongholds. If they could be taken... in an instant, Jiang Feng became a little excited.
"How about... you take me with you?"
Jiang Feng said to Ye Chen in a somewhat fawning manner.
"You?"
Ye Chen looked slightly disgusted.
"What kind of expression is that!!!"
Jiang Feng couldn't stand it anymore and roared at Ye Chen.
"Nothing. I'm just informing you. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first!"
Ye Chen rubbed his nose, then swaggered out of the Head Instructor's office.
"This kid... doesn't he even put me, the Head Instructor, in his eyes!"
Jiang Feng roared, but quickly calmed down.
He looked in the direction Ye Chen left and couldn't help but smile faintly, "This kid, if he wants to go out and play, then he should go. It's not like I can stop him, can I?"
In Jiang Feng's view, Ye Chen clearly just wanted to go out for some fresh air. As for dealing with the Scarlet Church, that was just an excuse.
After all, if the Scarlet Church's strongholds were so easy to find, they wouldn't have been a cancer to the Great Xia for so many years.
He simply took Lu Sheng's words as an excuse to go out and play.
Originally, Jiang Feng wasn't going to allow it. After all, with Ye Chen's talent, if he were targeted, it would be troublesome.
But as Ye Chen displayed his fourth-tier cultivation, Jiang Feng no longer cared.
Even if he had just entered the fourth-tier, this cultivation was considered good in the entire Jiangnan Province. Even if he couldn't defeat an opponent, he could still escape.
He had a certain degree of self-preservation.
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng no longer cared and instead began to look forward to it.
"Fourth-tier, huh? Such cultivation would allow him to enter the top ten in all previous College Entrance Examinations."
"Now... my bonus is secure!"
Jiang Feng chuckled, revealing a brilliant smile... Ye Chen left the Jiangnan Training Camp, took the black figure out of his pocket, and said faintly, "Alright, where is the nearest Scarlet Church stronghold?"
The black figure rubbed his head, took out a map, glanced at it, and pointed to a location on it.
"It's right here! If I remember correctly, there's a small stronghold here. The people inside are generally of average strength, only third-tier cultivation."
Ye Chen's eyes lit up at the words, and he quickly darted in the direction on the map.
