"Brother, you're back!"
When he was still a few hundred meters away from the door, Ye Chen heard a familiar voice.
Ye Yao was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, staggering as she ran over. Then, she sized up Ye Chen's body, full of doubt. "Brother, you fought with Ye Yuhu in the arena. Why aren't you injured at all?
Could it be that you thought it through halfway and didn't go on the arena? "
"Who is your brother? Why would he do such a cowardly act?"
Ye Chen reached out his hand to touch his nose, and said proudly, "I easily defeated Ye Yuhu. He didn't even touch the corner of my clothes, so of course I'm not injured."
"Keep bragging. I don't believe it." Ye Yao stuck out her tongue, looking very cute.
"Since we were young, when have I ever lied to you? Since you don't believe that I defeated Ye Yuhu, then look at what this is?" Ye Chen smiled as he took out two stalks of spiritual materials.
Instantly, a sweet fragrance assailed the nostrils. It was as if one would feel refreshed after taking a breath.
Ye Yao was immediately stunned. After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence. "Brother, you went to steal things?"
"How do I look like a thief?" The smile on Ye Chen's face froze, and he rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Returning to the wooden house, he washed the spiritual materials, ground them, and boiled the medicine. After a while, the sun had already set.
When a bowl of medicinal soup was placed in front of her, Ye Yao still felt a little incredulous. She confirmed once again. "Brother, you really defeated Ye Yuhu?"
"Of course."
Ye Chen passed the medicinal soup over. "Let's not talk about this first. Drink the medicinal soup. It won't have any effect if it cools."
"Okay."
Although she was puzzled, Ye Yao still drank the entire medicinal soup.
Plop!
The moment the medicine entered her mouth, Ye Yao felt as if there was a warm current flowing through her body. Her body, which was wrapped in cotton clothes, actually started to sweat.
"Brother, I feel that the cold air seems to be receding. Look, I'm actually sweating!" Ye Yao practically jumped as she spoke. It could be seen how excited she was.
Ye Chen was also wild with joy, but he still held back his joy and hurriedly said, "Don't be in a hurry to take off your cotton-padded clothes. Go back to your room and rest. Don't delay the effects of the medicine."
"Okay, I'll listen to Big Brother!" Ye Yao kissed Ye Chen on the cheek, and then skipped back to the room.
"This little girl, I really can't do anything about her."
Feeling the remaining warmth on his cheek, Ye Chen helplessly shook his head. He did not feel the slightest bit of regret because of the consumption of the two precious spiritual materials. Instead, he was extremely happy.
As long as it could make Ye Yao happy, even if it was a legendary ninth grade spiritual material, Ye Chen would not hesitate to boil it into a medicinal soup and let Ye Yao drink it in one gulp!
This was Ye Chen's style of doing things!
Not long after, Ye Chen gradually calmed down and began to recall the battle just now.
"Just now, I defeated Ye Yuhu with one punch mainly because he was too confident. If he had mastered the Thirteen Venomous Python Styles, I'm afraid I would have had a tough battle."
Ye Chen's heart was as clear as a mirror. He did not become complacent and arrogant just because he won.
What's more, he defeated Ye Yuhu in front of everyone. Ye Yulong would definitely find trouble with him. As a martial arts fourth layer expert, once he released his energy, it would be very difficult for him to win.
The martial path was divided into nine layers. The first three layers were called the Strength Refinement Realm. It mainly relied on absorbing the energy between heaven and earth to temper the body, strengthen the blood, and strengthen the physique. Between each layer, there was a difference of 250 pounds of strength.
From the fourth layer to the sixth layer was called the Qi Refinement Realm. A martial artist's body began to produce energy and could release it externally, greatly increasing their strength. Between each layer, there was a difference of 1000 pounds of strength.
From the seventh layer to the ninth layer was called the Spirit Refinement Realm. A martial artist's five senses became extremely sharp, able to see through the dangers within a few hundred meters. Between each layer, there was a difference of 2000 pounds of strength.
From this, it could be seen that under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult for a martial arts third layer to defeat a martial arts fourth layer. It could be said to be as difficult as ascending to heaven. At least in the entire Ye Family, such a situation had never occurred.
The key was still strength!
As long as his strength was strong enough, no matter what kind of genius or expert he was facing, he could defeat them all with one punch. Why would he have so many apprehensions!
After returning to his room, Ye Chen sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
Closing his eyes, Ye Chen's consciousness quickly entered a pitch-black space.
In the center of the space, there were twelve white halos. Eleven of them were extremely dim. Only the halo in front of Ye Chen seemed to have some vitality.
Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a fist-sized totem in the center of the halo. On the jade token, there was a lifelike bull with two horns pointing to the sky and four hooves on the ground. It was filled with a sense of power and beauty.
It was also mysterious.
A month ago, Ye Chen went up the mountain to cultivate. Suddenly, a strange light fell from the sky and hit his head, causing him to faint on the spot.
When Ye Chen woke up, he found that there were twelve additional halos in his body.
After a period of research, Ye Chen finally discovered the secret of the halos. As long as he poured his energy into the halos, these halos would be activated and produce some unexpected power.
At present, the first totem that Ye Chen activated was the Bull Totem.
After the Bull Totem was activated, Ye Chen found that his body's Qi and blood strength increased especially quickly in the process of cultivation. Don't look at how he was only at the Second Firmament of the Martial Path. In fact, his body's strength had already reached an astonishing 2000 pounds.
This was also why Ye Chen could easily defeat Ye Yuhu who practiced the Thirteen Moves of the Venomous Python!
"After working hard for more than a month, the Bull Totem is now 90% activated. If it can be fully activated, I wonder what kind of amazing effects it will bring."
Just thinking about it, Ye Chen's heart was somewhat excited. Without another word, he immediately directed his five hearts to the sky and poured all the pitifully little energy in his body into the Bull Totem.
During the entire process, Ye Chen could clearly feel that when the totem was activated, his body would emit traces of warmth that merged into his flesh and blood, as well as the deepest part of his body.
In this mysterious feeling, Ye Chen gradually entered a trance.
The next morning.
Ye Chen woke up early. As usual, he tempered his body at the back of the mountain.
Peng Peng Peng
The fist broke through the air, bringing about intense vibrations. The momentum was extremely shocking.
"That's not right. Why do I feel that the Qi and blood in my body are surging like a vast river? With one punch, it seems to have increased my strength by several hundred pounds?"
Ye Chen was slightly surprised. He immediately lowered his knees and gathered all his strength in his right hand. Then, he fiercely punched out.
Kacha!
The fist accurately smashed into the giant rock. The thousand pound giant rock instantly split into dozens of pieces.
"My strength has indeed increased. Moreover, it's not just a little bit stronger!"
Ye Chen's heart was greatly alarmed.
Then, he took a deep breath and urged his Qi and blood. His legs exerted strength and fiercely stomped on the ground.
Boom!
In an instant, the ground began to shake. The layer of soil peeled off. Ye Chen's entire body was like a kangaroo, leaping three meters into the air.
"The Third Firmament of the Martial Path. I actually broke through to the Third Firmament of the Martial Path!"
Ye Chen was ecstatic. He originally thought that it would take at least two months to break through to the Third Firmament of the Martial Path. Who knew that happiness would come so suddenly. He actually broke through just like that.
"My talent is not high. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for me to break through so quickly. It should be the credit of the Barbarian Bull Totem."
His consciousness entered the space. Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the Barbarian Bull Totem had been completely activated. It was emitting a gentle white light.
"Wait!
Why does this white light have a familiar feeling! "
Ye Chen took a few steps closer. Then, his entire face revealed an extremely surprised expression.
Primordial Qi!
This white light was actually Primordial Qi!
"No wonder I can improve so quickly. It turns out that after the Barbarian Bull Totem is completely lit, it will automatically emit Primordial Qi. The Heavens are really helping me. The Heavens are really helping me!"
Ye Chen was so happy that he began to shout wildly.
Other people could only refine the Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth after advancing to the Fourth Firmament of the Martial Path. Moreover, they had to cultivate painstakingly to be able to refine just a little bit.
However, Ye Chen was different. He did not need to cultivate painstakingly. The Barbarian Bull Totem automatically emitted Primordial Qi. It was endless and incomparably pure. It was as if there was an endless supply of Primordial Stones nourishing his body.
Awesome!
This kind of feeling was simply too awesome!
"According to my estimation, my physical strength has now reached more than three thousand jin. It's even stronger than a Fourth Firmament martial artist. It's a pity that I don't practice martial arts now. Otherwise, even if I face this Ye Yulong, I can easily crush him."
Just as Ye Chen was sighing in his heart, there was a ding. A ray of light shot out from the Barbarian Bull Totem and slowly fell into his palm.
When the light dissipated, a paper book with a blue leather cover appeared.
The book looked extremely ordinary. On the side of the book, there were a few large ancient characters: Demonic Bull Mountain Moving Art.
The large characters were forceful and forceful. Just by looking at it, it was as if a savage bull demon was standing in the wilderness, roaring at the sky. It made one's heart tremble.
After Ye Chen pinched his thigh a few times and confirmed that he was not dreaming, he slowly opened the book.
Not long after, Ye Chen completely read the Demonic Bull Mountain Moving Art. He could not help but let out a long sigh.
This Demonic Bull Mountain Moving Art was a martial art that came with the Barbarian Bull Totem. After cultivation, it could greatly increase the strength of a martial artist's flesh and blood, tempering the body to a perfect level. There were also three fist techniques recorded inside. Once learned, one could mobilize all the Qi and blood in one's body. The strength would be as strong as a true ancient bull demon, invincible.
The Martial Path Realm was originally based on the physical body. The stronger the physical body, the stronger the explosive power, and the higher the Primordial Qi contained.
If it really was as the Demonic Bull Mountain Moving Art said, it could temper the body to a perfect level. Then this martial art could be said to be a treasure among treasures. Perhaps the entire Ye Family, or even the entire Blackjade City, would go crazy for it.
"The twelve halos should represent twelve completely different totems. Now that I've successfully activated the Barbarian Bull Totem, I've gained a lot. If I can activate the other totems, wouldn't I be able to obtain even more martial arts?"
Ye Chen secretly swore to himself that he had to gather enough spiritual materials and treasures in the shortest amount of time to activate the next totem. Only then could he be a step ahead of others and constantly crush those so-called genius experts.
Exiting the space, Ye Chen immediately burned the Demonic Bull Mountain Moving Art. For such a precious item, the fewer people who knew about it, the safer it would be for him. In any case, he had already memorized the contents inside, so he was not afraid of forgetting it.
An ordinary man was innocent, but treasuring a jade ring would arouse the envy of others. Ye Chen understood this principle.
"According to the Demonic Bull Mountain Moving Art, every time I cultivate, I need to use many body refining spiritual materials to bring out the greatest effect. Looks like it's time to make a trip to the Spiritual Materials Hall."
