Inside the loft.
Ye Chen was lying on the bed. There seemed to be a delicate fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose. He moved his aching body and slowly opened his eyes.
Unexpectedly, what entered his eyes was a peerlessly beautiful face that could topple the world.
At this moment, Lin Chuxue saw that Ye Chen had woken up. Her face revealed a touch of joy, but quickly returned to its original indifference. She said indifferently, "You're finally awake. I thought you wouldn't be able to make it."
Ye Chen sat up shakily. He looked around and asked, "Where are the others?
You've been guarding me? "
"Who do you think you are to be worthy of me, Lin Chuxue, guarding you?
Don't be so smug. "
Lin Chuxue stood up. Just as she turned around, she turned her head and asked, "In the arena, you clearly could have killed Chang Houde. Why did you let go of such a good opportunity?"
"I don't have a deep grudge with Chang Houde. It's not to the point where one of us has to die. Moreover, if I killed Chang Houde, the Chang Clan would definitely rebel. At that time, the entire Heishui City would be plunged into a bloodbath. And Zhou Zhong, that brat, wouldn't be able to be together with his beloved."
"You're about to die, but you're still thinking about others. You're really a strange person." Lin Chuxue said helplessly. Ye Chen's eyes narrowed. Soon after, he shook his head and laughed.
Yiya!
At this moment, someone walked in. Lin Chuxue stepped out and looked at Lin Changtian. She said, "He's awake. You take care of him yourself."
After saying that, Lin Chuxue quickly walked out of the room. Lin Changtian's eyes revealed a puzzled expression.
Before Ye Chen woke up, this sister of his never left his side. In these three days, she didn't even have a good night's sleep. Why did she act so cold after Ye Chen woke up?
A woman's heart was indeed like a needle at the bottom of the ocean.
"How do you feel?"
Lin Changtian took a few steps forward and looked at Ye Chen from head to toe. When he saw that Ye Chen was fine, he finally felt relieved.
"I'm alright. Other than feeling a little weak, there's nothing else wrong with me. I should be able to fully recover after a few days of quiet cultivation," Ye Chen grinned and asked, "What did the Chang family do while I was unconscious?"
The Chang family focused on martial arts. After this incident, they had undoubtedly smashed their own reputation. Ye Chen was afraid that they would secretly make a move while he was unconscious.
"After this incident, the Chang Clan became much more low-key. They didn't make any big moves. Perhaps they had tasted the bitterness and didn't dare to be so arrogant anymore. The Bai Clan is the same. The entire Blackwater City seems to be very peaceful." Lin Changtian replied.
Ye Chen nodded, "It's good that you're fine. You can leave first. I want to have a good rest."
After Lin Changtian left, Ye Chen took a deep breath. His eyes focused and his body was covered in a faint golden light. It was this golden light that nourished and healed his injuries day and night. Otherwise, Ye Chen wouldn't have been able to recover and wake up in three days.
Looking at this golden light, Ye Chen still had some doubts in his heart. Was this the power of the Sacred Clan, the power of the Sacred Beast's blood, or the power of the twelve totems?
After pondering for a while, Ye Chen sighed. In the end, he still wasn't strong enough.
This battle with Chang Houde might have ended in victory, but in a sense, Ye Chen was still defeated. The strength of an Origin Energy powerhouse was too overbearing. In a direct confrontation, there was still a big gap between them.
"Chang Houde's cultivation is similar to Liu Yunlong's. The latter is an inner elder of the Wanshou Sect. His cultivation foundation is rich, and the quality of his martial arts and True Yuan is definitely better than Chang Houde's. It seems that I still have a long way to go."
Ye Chen lay on the bed. As he recovered, he recalled the details of the previous battle. Where he did not do well, where he could have avoided injuries. He constantly reflected on himself and accumulated battle experience.
After two days, Ye Chen's body had completely recovered. This speed could only be described as terrifying.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed. There were three martial arts manuals beside him. After the previous battle, Ye Chen deeply felt the importance of martial arts in improving one's combat strength. He was ready to practice new martial arts.
"Divine Aeons Fist, King Rank Intermediate Fist Art. After mastering it, the left fist will be soft and continuous, containing endless hidden force. It can invade the opponent's body and cause damage to the meridians. The right fist will be hard and overbearing, sharp and sharp, making the opponent unable to resist. The combination of the two fists, one hard and one soft, can be said to be perfect."
Before this, Ye Chen had used his terrifying strength to subdue his opponents. However, as his opponents became stronger and stronger, he felt that his attacking methods were too simple. The Divine Aeons Fist perfectly made up for Ye Chen's shortcomings in this aspect.
Putting down the Divine Aeons Fist, Ye Chen looked at the other two martial arts manuals.
"Traceless Snow Steps, King Rank Advanced Body Art. The footsteps are as light as the void, graceful and agile, making it difficult for the opponent to trace. In short distance movement, it is comparable to an Emperor Rank Body Art. Be careful, this body art is extremely difficult to practice. Those with mediocre talent will not be able to learn it in their lifetime."
Ye Chen looked at the introduction of the martial arts manuals. This Traceless Snow Steps was indeed very mysterious. It was very dependent on the talent of the cultivator. In some obscure parts, even Ye Chen had to ponder for a while before he could understand.
After skimming through it, Ye Chen opened the last martial arts manual.
"Dark Shadow Killing Technique, Quasi Emperor Rank Martial Art. The body is integrated with the heaven and earth, silently approaching the opponent and delivering a fatal blow. It is divided into three styles, Cold Shadow Killing, Piercing Shadow Killing, and Life Taking Shadow Killing."
"Quasi Emperor Rank Martial Art."
Ye Chen's eyes moved slightly. This martial art was the highest level martial art in the Netherworld Camp. It seemed that even the four Netherworld Guardians had not been able to practice it successfully. It was extremely difficult.
Because of the Thousand Illusion Technique, Ye Chen could hide in the black fog. It was cold enough to make the opponent shudder. If he could combine it with the Dark Shadow Killing Technique, he would be like the Grim Reaper in the darkness. As long as he was targeted, it would be difficult to escape death.
Ye Chen was very satisfied with these three martial arts manuals, especially the Dark Shadow Killing Technique. Not only was it powerful, but it was also mysterious and difficult to guard against. Even if he encountered an Origin Aura Realm powerhouse like Chang Houde, he would still be able to fight.
In the next few days, Ye Chen entered a state of cultivation.
With his peerless natural talent, he'd cultivated the Divine Aeons Fist and Traceless Snowsteps to the Initial Realm in less than three days. Even though his cultivation wasn't high, its might was exceedingly shocking, and even Wu Zichuan praised it without end.
What was even more gratifying was that the Dark Shadow Killing Technique and Thousand Illusion Technique seemed to be a perfect match. After practicing for only two days, Ye Chen had completely mastered the Cold Shadow Killing Technique.
Night fell. Ye Chen's whole body blended into the darkness. His eyes flashed with cold killing intention. The moment he waved the Grim Reaper's scythe, he would be able to escape from the white blade.
On the seventh day of the closed-door training.
Ye Chen suddenly felt a burst of muffled sound coming from his body. He opened his eyes and the whole room was swallowed by him. Instantly, the room turned into a vacuum zone.
"The middle stage of the first sky of truth realm."
Although he had made a breakthrough, Ye Chen did not have the slightest joy. In truth realm, each stage was extremely difficult. He had painstakingly practiced for three months and had barely made a breakthrough. It was indeed worrying.
Of course, Ye Chen only complained in his mind. If others heard him, they would have killed themselves by banging their head against a door.
"Not good!"
At this time, the door suddenly opened.
