At this moment, in the resplendent grand hall, besides Ouyang Zhong, all three Celestial Flame Peak Masters couldn't help but show intense shock in their eyes.

"Freak, this guy is really a freak, managing to cultivate the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to Great Success within a month." Chen Fei, the Soul Palace Master, said with a grim face.

"This one's body refining talent is even higher than the third generation Battle King Hall Master. If given a few more months, he will surely be able to cultivate the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to Perfection. By then, even if Duanmu Jie wants to kill him, it won't be so easy." Celestial Flame Peak Master couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hmph! Unfortunately, he hardly has that much time, and even if he does cultivate the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to Perfection, so what? He would still end up being crushed by Duanmu Jie." After her brief surprise, Duanmu Ying's expression once again turned extremely indifferent, with a deep sense of disdain flashing in her eyes.

It's important to know that Duanmu Jie not only has reached the Third Layer of the Gang Qi Realm but also awakened a Profound Level Five-Grade Bloodline.

If he goes all out, even if Ye Chen really cultivates the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to Perfection, he absolutely can't be Duanmu Jie's match.

Furthermore, Ye Chen simply doesn't have that much time.

Just relying on the Great Success Realm of the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique', he isn't even qualified to carry Duanmu Jie's shoes.

As for defeating Duanmu Jie, that's just daydreaming.

"I didn't expect, you worthless wretch, to lack any other skill yet possess such high body refining talent, actually cultivating the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to Great Success so quickly." On the Life and Death Battle Platform, Duanmu Jie's face turned extremely sullen, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Chen, with a terrifying killing intent bursting forth.

On the fourth day Ye Chen joined the Battle King Hall, Duanmu Jie had heard that Ye Chen seemed to have cultivated the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to the Small Success Realm.

However, at that time, he simply didn't believe that Ye Chen, this worthless wretch, possessed such high body refining talent.

But now, he had to admit that Ye Chen's body refining talent was indeed very high, even breaking the entire Celestial Flame Academy's record.

If allowed to continue growing, he truly has hope of passing the Battle King Hall Master's test and becoming the new Battle King Hall Master.

So, Duanmu Jie was determined to eliminate Ye Chen today, to avoid nurturing a threat.

"You keep calling me trash, but what are you? In my eyes, you're even less than trash." Ye Chen coldly said.

"Trash, shut up! Do you really think that by cultivating the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to Great Success you can contend with me? My true strength isn't something a worthless wretch like you can imagine." Duanmu Jie couldn't help but sneer, looking at Ye Chen as if he were gazing upon a dead dog that could be crushed with ease.

Indeed!

Ye Chen's body refining talent is indeed high.

But even if he cultivates the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to Great Success, at most he can increase his power by two hundred tigers.

Adding other aspects of his strength, at most, he can only unleash a combat power of over four hundred tigers.

And just now, Duanmu Jie only used the power of Gang Qi, and Ye Chen already had to fight with all his might to contend.

If Duanmu Jie also exerted force from other aspects, crushing this worthless wretch Ye Chen would be child's play.

"Oh? Then let me see how powerful your Profound Level Bloodline really is!" Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile, his figure flashed as he actively flew towards Duanmu Jie.

"What are you? You're not even qualified to make me use my bloodline power. To crush you, I only need to casually use any martial arts." Duanmu Jie raised his head high, with an expression of extreme disdain, as if he were watching a jumping clown.

Buzz.

The next moment, the golden Gang Qi around his body suddenly condensed into a golden sword aura, slashing fiercely towards Ye Chen.

This golden sword aura was a full seven or eight zhang long, exuding an incredibly sharp aura, as if it could cleave through all things in heaven and earth.

In front of this sword aura, Ye Chen was as small as an ant.

"It's the Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts, 'Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique', of Profound Sword Peak."

"Oh my god! Duanmu Jie just joined Profound Sword Peak not long ago, and he's already cultivated this sword technique to the Great Success Realm. Truly a sword dao genius!" Many students exclaimed in shock.

'Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique' is a well-known Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts of Profound Sword Peak, even more powerful than the 'Thunderstorm Swordsmanship'.

However, this martial arts technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even those with Upper Grade martial arts talent usually take about half a year to cultivate it to the Great Success Realm.

But Duanmu Jie achieved this step within just a few months, which is utterly unbelievable.

"Although my martial arts talent hasn't reached Super Grade, the bloodline within my body greatly enhances the cultivation of gold-attributed sword techniques! Just give me a few more months, and I might even cultivate the 'Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique' to Perfection." Duanmu Jie said with immense pride.

Every cultivator's martial arts talent is innate and cannot be altered through acquired means.

However, the bloodline within a cultivator can significantly enhance the cultivation of certain attribute martial arts.

Moreover, the stronger the bloodline, the greater the enhancement, completely compensating for the lack of martial arts talent.

For example, Duanmu Jie's martial arts talent hasn't even achieved Upper Grade Perfection and is considered quite ordinary among all the seed students.

However, with the help of his bloodline, his speed in cultivating the "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique" is not at all slower than those with top-grade Perfection martial arts talent.

This is precisely why the cultivators of this world value bloodlines so highly.

No matter how high Ye Chen's other talents are, as long as he doesn't awaken his bloodline, someone will still see him as a waste.

Swish.

In the blink of an eye, that golden Sword Aura that Duanmu Jie slashed appeared above Ye Chen's head. Wherever it passed, even the air was sliced open, generating a series of snow-white air waves.

The power of this sword was truly terrifying, definitely surpassing the Power of a Hundred Tigers.

This is one of the reasons why strong warriors in the Gang Qi Realm are much more terrifying than True Qi Realm cultivators.

The same martial arts technique, if driven by Gang Qi, can unleash much more power than when driven by True Qi.

Take Duanmu Jie's "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique" for example; if driven by True Qi, it could at most enhance the power of about thirty to forty tigers, but when driven by Gang Qi, it can enhance the power of seventy to eighty tigers, doubling the power.

"Currently, even if I execute the "Thunderstorm Swordsmanship" at the Perfection Realm, it can only increase my strength by around eighty tigers! And Duanmu Jie's "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique" just cultivated to the Great Success Realm and has already been able to enhance the power by around eighty tigers! It seems the benefits of entering the Gang Qi Realm are quite significant," Ye Chen couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

Roar.

Just as that golden Sword Aura was about to strike Ye Chen, the ancient Golden Elephant behind Ye Chen suddenly let out a deafening roar, and its entire body instantly grew nearly double its size, reaching an astounding thirty feet.

What is the concept of thirty feet? It's almost equivalent to a twenty-story building, resembling an ancient mystical presence, bringing an unparalleled sense of oppression.

However, this ancient Golden Elephant is not real, merely a shadow; otherwise, the oppressive feeling would be far more terrifying than now.

Even so, many of the onlooking students were scared silly on the spot, their eyes filled with intense astonishment.

Bang, a loud noise.

Amidst the shock of everyone, the Thunder Sword Aura in Ye Chen's hand forcefully slashed towards that golden Sword Aura, and the two fiercely collided.

Immediately, huge cracks appeared on the seventy to eighty feet long golden Sword Aura, then exploded in the air, disappearing without a trace.

"No! This is impossible? My "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique" was easily dispelled by him, could it be...?" Duanmu Jie's pupils contracted fiercely, his face turning paler than death, completely unable to believe his eyes.

His "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique" exploded with a power exceeding the Power of a Hundred Tigers.

Logically, even if Ye Chen exhausted every means, it would be absolutely impossible to withstand it.

However, just now, Ye Chen dispelled his "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique" easily, seemingly without a hitch.

Only if his strength far exceeded the Power of a Hundred Tigers could he achieve this.

However, even if Ye Chen cultivated the "Ancient Golden Elephant Technique" to the Great Success Realm, there is no way he could possess such terrifying strength.

Unless he had already cultivated the "Ancient Golden Elephant Technique" to the Perfection Realm.

But is that possible?

"Duanmu Jie, if that's all you've got, then you can go die." Just as Duanmu Jie was in disbelief, Ye Chen's icy voice suddenly echoed in his ear.

Swish.

Immediately, Ye Chen's body left behind a shadow on the spot, as if becoming a humanoid beast, swiftly flying towards Duanmu Jie, appearing five feet away from him in an instant.

"Not good." Duanmu Jie's body suddenly trembled, even the hair all over his body stood on end.

At this moment, he unexpectedly sensed a strong threat of death from Ye Chen.

This was absolutely unimaginable for him before.

He originally thought that with his strength, crushing someone like Ye Chen, whom he considered worthless, was simply a matter of ease.

But he didn't expect that the other party had already been able to threaten him.

Pfft, a loud sound.

In the blink of an eye, the Thunder Sword Aura in Ye Chen's hand easily sliced through Duanmu Jie's Protective Gang Qi and stabbed fiercely towards his head.

The power of this strike was truly terrifying, reaching an astonishing Power of seven hundred Tigers.

Even the surrounding air was instantly pierced, producing an extremely harsh sound, like a ghost wailing.
