Chapter 184: Chapter 158 Martial Combat
What's there not to dare!
This casual remark, landing among those present, caused everyone to open their mouths in shock.
Ye Chen, what an imposing manner!
The challenges from several late Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses that had come before were reasonable for Ye Chen to accept. After all, he was the formidable figure who had risen to fourth on the Spirit Ranking and was the genius youth who had miraculously overpowered high-ranking demons during the True Inheritance Disciple Selection Assembly.
Against these late Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses, everyone acknowledged, he had the strength!
But Xue Jia, he was no ordinary person – his cultivation had reached the Half-Step Rotating Pill Realm!
A Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouse was not just a little bit stronger than a late Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse who had not yet broken through to the Rotating Pill Realm – they were absolutely not on the same level of strength!
In Martial Arts cultivation, martial artists live much longer than ordinary people. It's common for Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses to live several hundred years, and those in the Rotating Pill Realm can even surpass a thousand years!
Although Xue Jia appeared young among martial artists, those true disciples who knew him were aware that it had been over thirty years since he had stepped into the Spirit Sea Realm, and he had already been a Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouse for a decade after failing to break through to the Rotating Pill Realm!
He mastered numerous powerful martial skills, and it was said he had mastered several Earth-grade mid-tier martial skills!
Aside from Jin Lieyang, who was ranked first on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking and was also a Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouse, there was no news of any true disciple daring to battle with him.
And yet, Ye Chen casually accepted this challenge so calmly!
Ye Chen actually dared to face off against a Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouse!
This caused all those present to find Ye Chen's strength even more elusive.
In the sky, hearing Ye Chen accept the challenge, Xue Jia's eyes sparkled with fervor, "Good, Ye Chen, then I will observe your battles with the others tomorrow first."
"If you can't secure victory in those fights, then you're not worth fighting against me!"
"I hope you have the strength to battle me!"
Boom!
Within the resounding voice of Xue Jia, the dark clouds that shrouded the sky suddenly shifted, and Xue Jia disappeared from the sky.
Mystical Power!
Although Xue Jia had not stepped into the Rotating Pill Realm, his attainment of the Half-Step Rotating Pill clearly granted him some strangely formidable mystical powers!
"A rushing true qi traversal technique, huh?"
Ye Chen fixed his gaze on the place where Xue Jia vanished, eyeing the traces of true qi fluctuations in the void that were nearly imperceptible to most, until these true qi fluctuations vanished completely, "I just don't know, when we truly battle, whether this technique can still elude my sword formation!"
Ye Chen's eyes also released a fighting intent.
Having undergone arduous training within Taixuan Sect for over two months, the time had arrived to test the results of his cultivation!
After completing the trials at the three trial grounds, Ye Chen, together with Jiang Yao, broke into the top ten of the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking, and accepted challenges from several Spirit Ranking powerhouses and even a Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouse. The battles would take place tomorrow on the "True Inheritance Battle Platform."
When this news spread throughout Taixuan Sect, everybody on all the Eight Great Inner Peaks heard the news!
"Ye Chen? The young man who shone brightly during the True Inheritance Selection Assembly?"
"It seems he has made significant progress during this time!"
The Peak Masters and elders of the various Inner Peaks, especially those strong figures who had witnessed Ye Chen's performance at the True Inheritance Disciple Selection Assembly, looked through the mountain peaks of Taixuan Sect towards Snowdrift Peak and murmured to themselves.
In the end, the gaze of these Peak Masters and elders all turned towards the area of Taixuan Sect's True Inheritance Battle Platform, "Tomorrow's True Martial Battle is definitely worth watching!"
Atop Snowdrift Peak, within Snowdrift Residence.
Fairy Jia Luo, dressed in white palace robes and meditating, held a Sound Transmission Talisman in her hand and slowly opened her eyes.
A faint smile appeared in her eyes, "Having been quiet for so long, Ye Chen finally can't hold back and is about to burst forth again. I too wish to see the fruits of his cultivation with little Rain Girl."
While the strong figures of the various peaks remained calm and composed, the true disciples of the entire Eight Great Inner Peaks had completely lost their minds.
The True Martial Battle Platform, True Martial Battles, and those involving the front runners on the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking – battles related to a Half-Step Rotating Pill powerhouse!
This event is so grand that even those who have cultivated at the Inner Peak for many years hardly encounter it. Who would have thought that right when the selection for the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb is about to end, such a high-caliber martial battle would take place!
And one of the main protagonists of this True Inheritance martial battle is actually Ye Chen, who has only been at Inner Peak for just over two months!
Everyone could hardly wait for the day to pass quickly and for the True Inheritance martial battle to arrive!
Even the True Inheritance disciples who were out on sect missions rushed back upon hearing the news.
Such a martial battle, of course, they wouldn't miss!
Amidst the anticipation and attention of countless people, a day quietly passed by.
Early the next morning, at the True Martial Battle Platform located outside the Inner Peak of the three Taixuan Sect elders, the place was already packed with people, and more were continuously flying to the void outside the battle platform.
The True Martial Battle Platform is a colossal battle platform suspended in the void, its length and width both exceeding a thousand zhang, and it shimmered with an inexplicable brilliance in the void!
This is where the True Inheritance disciples of the Taixuan Sect conduct their martial battles, to determine who is superior!
After less than half an hour, nearly all the True Inheritance disciples had already arrived at the True Martial battle area!
The True Inheritance disciples from the Eight Great Inner Peaks gathered together, with Jiang Yao and the sword-backed girl Chan'er among them in the Snowdrift Peak area.
For this True Inheritance martial battle, so Ye Chen could prepare in peace, Jiang Yao didn't disturb him. Instead, she waited for Ye Chen directly at the True Inheritance Battle Platform.
Among the True Inheritance disciples of Snowdrift Peak, even the rarely seen Elder Sister Yu was there!
She stood beside Jiang Yao, also quietly waiting for the True Inheritance martial battle to begin.
The Spirit Sea Realm True Inheritance disciples stood in the void, the True Essence Realm True Inheritance disciples rode on flying beasts, everyone was waiting, waiting for the True Inheritance martial battle to begin.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the gaze of countless waiting figures, four silhouettes flew out from the four Inner Peaks, their powerful escaping lights like shooting stars thunderously approaching above the True Martial Battle Platform.
As the escaping light dispersed, these figures revealed themselves.
Zhao Xuan ranked eighth on the True Inheritance Spirit List! Wang Mao ranked seventh! Chen Xing ranked sixth! And Lu Yuan ranked fifth!
As if by agreement, these four arrived at the True Martial Battle Platform almost simultaneously!
"They're here!"
"The appointed time for the battle is about to come, and the True Inheritance martial battle is finally about to start!"
The arrival of these four powerful figures on the Spirit List was like a flaming fireball dropped into boiling water. The countless warrior spectators around the True Martial Battle area instantly ignited with passion!
Boom!
Just then, a black cloud dashed through the void above and upon dispersing, revealed the figure of Xue Jia.
As a Half-Step Rotating Pill expert, Xue Jia also arrived at the scene!
Although Xue Jia was just quietly sitting cross-legged in the void beside the True Martial Battle Platform, everyone could feel a powerful aura being released, making the entire sky seem dimmer because of this aura!
After Xue Jia arrived at the True Martial Battle area, the four Spirit List powerhouses Zhao Xuan, Wang Mao, Chen Xing, and Lu Yuan who had flown in, as well as the Half-Step Rotating Pill expert, Xue Jia, all looked in the direction of Snowdrift Peak's void, waiting for something.
All the observing True Inheritance disciples' gazes also turned towards Snowdrift Peak.
They certainly knew whom these five were waiting for.
"I hope I am not late!"
In the expectant eyes of countless people, suddenly, a figure soared out from Snowdrift Peak.
This figure, fifteen or sixteen years old, with any traces of childishness long gone from the delicate face, replaced by a self-confident and vivacious spirit.
His figure was slender, and the silver-white wings stretching several zhang behind him beat slowly, giving him a strange air that belied his youth!
When they saw the figure flying out from Snowdrift Peak, the blood of countless True Inheritance disciples in the True Inheritance martial battle area boiled over, and they cheered and screamed.
The most important protagonist of this True Inheritance martial battle, Ye Chen, had finally arrived!
