As her disciple, Long Chen really wanted to help her, but unfortunately, he couldn't even compete with a cultivator at the peak of the first level of the God Martial Realm.
Long Chen didn't answer Ye Xuan's question.
Indeed, Long Chen's current life was just a skeleton, but he was still working hard to see the light again.
"Damn it! Even if I have something as heaven-defying as the True Martial Emperor's Spirit, even if my strength has improved tremendously, I still feel that it's too slow …"
"I am too weak right now."
Right now, the Specter Main City had already been occupied by the strong. In this world, only the strong would be able to enjoy the final glory. The majority of the people could only become ice-cold tombstones. The so-called rules and laws were used to restrict the weak, allowing them to be trampled by the strong. Only strength was the eternal way to change one's fate.
"There are still twenty days left. If I can reach the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Realm, I can probably try to break through to the God Martial Realm."
Long Chen lowered his head and clenched his fists so tight that his veins were popping out.
Ye Xuan turned around and looked at him with a gentle smile.
"I can feel that you want to help me, you want to become stronger. You are indeed a genius, but you are too young. In a few hundred years, none of us will be able to compete with you. Right now, you are just losing to time."
This gentle Ye Xuan was completely different from before. This was her original self, quiet, calm, and aloof from worldly affairs. All she wanted to do was to protect her simple family and love. But unfortunately, these things were being put to the test.
"I don't want to lose to time." said Long Chen, shaking his head.
Ye Xuan looked at Long Chen the same way she looked at Ye Xuan.
"At first, because you saved my little brother twice, I had a good impression of you. You were my little brother's savior. Later, you became my first disciple, and from then on, I realized that you had great potential, so I wanted you to grow with my little brother. But later, I realized that you were actually very wild. I don't think the main city of spirits is a place you want to stay."
Long Chen nodded, Ye Xuan was very meticulous.
"We met by chance, but you became my disciple, and you wanted to help me. I have been with Sumo for so many years, but what I got in return was this unforgettable betrayal. I suddenly feel that this world is such a drama." Facing the cold wind, Ye Xuan's smile did not have any regrets, but instead, she had a kind of realization.
"There is no need to keep those who should leave. In the most dangerous times, those who stand by my side are the ones who deserve to be cherished the most. Long Chen, this is what you taught me, hehe …" Ye Xuan giggled, "Tell me, I am your master now, but I am asking you to teach me principles. Don't you think it's a bit funny?"
"There is something worth learning from everyone."
That was all Long Chen could say. Ye Xuan's emotions were a little strange today, but at least she was freed from Sumo's problem, and that was something worth celebrating.
"In twenty days, the most important test of my life will begin." Ye Xuan suddenly said.
"Twenty days."
Long Chen thought about it, he still had to try. Ye Xuan's words reminded Long Chen that since she was his master, Long Chen now had the right to let her teach him.
At that moment, Long Chen suddenly made up his mind, he said seriously, "In twenty days, Ye Xuan is a very important friend of mine, I also want to help him. I am about to reach the ninth layer of the Sky Martial Realm, if you give me some pressure, I might be able to do it. Also, I have this …"
As he spoke, Long Chen took out the Divine Martial Fortune Pellet.
Seeing the Divine Martial Fortune Pellet, Ye Xuan's eyes brightened. She looked at Long Chen and asked carefully, "Can you reach the ninth layer of the Sky Martial Realm in twenty days?"
Long Chen could not tell her about the Soul of True Martial Monarch, so he could only say this, "I am just a little bit away from it. Maybe it's the enlightenment I get from fighting. If you can let someone fight with me, give me some pressure, and let me fight to my heart's content, maybe it's possible for me to reach the ninth layer of the Sky Martial Realm in twenty days."
Ye Xuan nodded and suddenly said with a little excitement, "Long Chen, if you can reach the ninth layer of the Sky Martial Realm, then I can use this Divine Martial Fortune Pellet to help you understand the Way of Heaven and finally reach the God Martial Realm."
The reason why Ye Xuan was shocked by Long Chen's power was that Long Chen was actually only at the eighth layer of the Sky Martial Realm, but he could already fight with God Martial Realm warriors, and even kill them. Judging from the speed of Long Chen's Killing Calamity, in fact, in terms of talent and potential, Long Chen was the scariest warrior Ye Xuan had ever seen.
Ye Xuan's words gave Long Chen great hope.
His eyes brightened and he said, "What you said, is it true?"
Ye Xuan was a little angry. She pouted and said, "I am your teacher, why would I lie to you? You just said you want an opponent, is this okay?"
After that, Ye Xuan stretched out her white arm. On her thin little finger, there was a drop of bright red blood. With a swoosh, the blood fell on the ground, and then it gradually became bigger and bigger, forming a human shaped blood man. This blood man had a very horrifying Slaughter Qi.
"This is a special skill of my Ye family's Seven Kill Bloodline. I use the Slaughter Blood in my body to create a 'Blood Puppet.' This Blood Puppet's power is around the second layer of the God Martial Realm. It can use the martial arts I learned before the second layer of the God Martial Realm. Of course, because it is a puppet, it is not very complete, but it should be useful for you. Also, I can teach you things about the Sky Martial Realm."
Long Chen looked at the Blood Puppet, and his eyes lit up.
However, the fighting power of the second layer of the God Martial Realm was not just for show.
After a quarter of an hour, Long Chen returned to the governor's mansion, to the Martial Hall where Ye Xuan cultivated. The Martial Hall was in the basement of the Zixuan Palace, and only Ye Xuan could enter. Without Ye Xuan's permission, no one else could come in. At that moment, Long Chen was standing there, and Ye Xuan was observing.
The Martial Practice Hall was sufficiently spacious, and the walls were sufficiently sturdy, allowing Long Chen to freely display his skills in here.
At that moment, Long Chen and Ye Xuan's Blood Puppet were having an intense fight.
The horrifying thing was that the Blood Puppet's life force was extremely strong. Even if Long Chen cut it in half, it could still merge back together.
On the side, Ye Xuan was controlling the Blood Puppet. This was her 'Slaughter Blood'. Under her control, the Blood Puppet's understanding of martial arts was fully displayed. It didn't look like a puppet at all. Instead, it looked like a powerful warrior who had been through hundreds of battles.
"Floating Blood Sword."
A blood light flashed across the Blood Puppet's neck, and the Blood Puppet's head flew into the air. However, even without a head, the Blood Puppet's powerful punch didn't stop, and it landed on Long Chen's body. Even though Long Chen had transformed into his dragon soul, he was still sent flying, and rolled on the ground.
At that moment, Long Chen was covered with wounds.
The Blood Puppet of the second layer of the God Martial Realm, if Ye Xuan hadn't suppressed it, Long Chen would have been killed.
Looking at the wounds on Long Chen's body, Ye Xuan felt sorry for him. She said, "That's all for today. You're already injured, let me help you recover."
"It's still early."
Long Chen wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, and used the Floating Blood Sword to stand up. At first, he was a little wobbly, but he quickly steadied his body. His eyes were filled with determination, and his fighting spirit was burning.
The raging flames of war.
Ye Xuan was shocked when she saw Long Chen like this. She suddenly felt that this young man had an endless power, and he could only show a little of it.
"He's terrifyingly tough."
Ye Xuan didn't know how many times Long Chen had been defeated.
There were even a few times when he was in mortal danger, but he dodged them all.
However, Ye Xuan didn't suspect that it was the True Martial Imperial Soul. In fact, many people who couldn't make a breakthrough for many years would suddenly gain enlightenment during battles. Ye Xuan thought that Long Chen was looking for that enlightenment.
In fact, Long Chen was improving his cultivation through battles.
After seven days of high-intensity training, under the suppression of the Blood Puppet, Long Chen's Martial Spirit finally transformed. The dragon-shaped Martial Spirit completely transformed into a blood-red color. With the integration of a huge amount of True Yuan, Long Chen's True Yuan once again skyrocketed, and he stepped into the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm.
Ye Xuan and Long Chen were overjoyed by the news.
Although the True Martial Imperial Soul could only be activated for two hours every day, Long Chen's battles definitely lasted more than two hours. Even without the True Martial Imperial Soul, he was still cultivating with all his might. On this day, his efforts finally paid off, and he stepped into the top level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
"This power, this is the power that the six monsters had. This power is so much stronger than mine."
Long Chen felt his own power. He was a bit emotional, but he was definitely not satisfied.
"Phew."
He took a deep breath and saw Ye Xuan smiling at him. In her eyes, there was motherly care and pride that Long Chen hadn't seen in a long time.
"Ye Xuan." For a moment, Long Chen was so excited that he forgot to call her master.
"Yes." Ye Xuan didn't realize it either.
"Help me reach the God Martial Realm." Long Chen said excitedly.
His God Martial Realm, his Dao, how terrifying would it be?
Long Chen was looking forward to it as well.
"Heavenly Blessing, let's go to the top of the Colorful Tower. That's the place closest to the Heavenly Way."
Long Chen nodded.
