"Hiss!"

Below the Life and Death Battle Platform, the students watching couldn't help but take a sharp breath, their bodies seemed to turn to stone, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Just a moment ago, they all thought that Ye Chen would be completely crushed by Duanmu Jie's "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique." Even if he didn't die, he would certainly be heavily injured.

But in the next moment, Ye Chen not only easily dissolved Duanmu Jie's "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique," but also pierced through Duanmu Jie's Protective Gang Qi.

This was simply like a fairy tale.

"How is this possible? He actually perfected the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique.' How did he do it?" In the majestic hall, Soul Palace Master Chen Fei suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes wide open, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"A miracle, this is simply a miracle. I was wrong about Ye Chen all along. He was never self-destructive! Ah! How foolish I've been!" Ouyang Zhong's pupils suddenly constricted, his expression extremely excited, and at the same time, deep guilt appeared in his eyes.

He really didn't expect that Ye Chen's body refining talent would be heaven-defying to such an extent. It only took him sixteen or seventeen days to perfect the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique.'

It wasn't until this moment that he fully understood that he had misjudged Ye Chen.

Ye Chen must have known that he could perfect the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' within twenty days, which is why he didn't go to the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool to cultivate every day.

However, Ouyang Zhong had always mistaken Ye Chen for having completely given up on himself.

This thought filled him with unbearable shame, wishing he could find a crack to crawl into.

"Oh my god! Am I dreaming? Ye Chen actually perfected the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique.' This is wonderful, truly wonderful." In a corner below the Life and Death Battle Platform, Ouyang Xue's delicate body suddenly trembled, her mouth forming an 'o' shape, and even her eyes had faint traces of tears rolling.

That was joy to the point of tears!

Initially, she had lost all hope for Ye Chen.

But now, she realized that she had misunderstood Ye Chen all along.

He had not given up at all, and in less than a month, he had perfected the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,' creating an unprecedented miracle.

With this, he might really have a chance to defeat Duanmu Jie.

"Lass, I didn't expect that this Ye Chen was hiding such a trump card. If I'm not mistaken, he must have cultivated a body refining technique that increased his physical strength by five hundred times the power of a tiger." At this moment, the mysterious old man wearing a bronze mask couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise in his eyes, as if he hadn't expected Ye Chen to burst out with such formidable combat power.

"Hmph! As a direct descendant of the Divine Spirit Family Ye Clan, possessing such body refining talent is quite normal. There's nothing to be proud of! Besides, with his current strength, he can't even help our lady take revenge, let alone defeat me." The black-clad girl wasn't surprised in the slightest. Instead, her dark eyes were filled with mockery.

If Ye Chen were just an ordinary cultivator, possessing such body refining talent would indeed be rare.

However, he comes from the famed Divine Spirit Family Ye Clan.

In the Ye Clan, young people with stronger physiques compared to Ye Chen are everywhere.

Some, by Ye Chen's age, already possessed several thousands of tiger power in their bodies.

Therefore, the black-clad girl didn't think Ye Chen was remarkable, and instead felt he was weak.

"That's true, and Ye Chen hasn't even awakened his bloodline. Even if his body refining talent has reached the Ye Clan's normal standard, he won't achieve much in the future. Our lady having such a useless fiancé is truly unfortunate." The mysterious old man couldn't help but sigh, his disappointment in Ye Chen reaching its peak.

"Let's keep watching. Duanmu Jie hasn't even used his Bloodline Power yet. For our useless son-in-law to think he can defeat him is impossible. In the end, I'll still have to save him!" The black-clad girl snorted coldly, having no faith in Ye Chen at all.

Rumble.

At this moment, a brilliant golden sword aura suddenly formed from Duanmu Jie's palm, stretching nearly ten feet long, emitting an incredibly sharp aura, headed straight for the Thunder Sword Aura in Ye Chen's hand.

At this moment, he no longer held back, directly activating a Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts technique he had been cultivating for a long time.

He had started practicing this Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts two years ago, and it had now reached the Transformation Realm, considered one of his trump cards.

Originally, he thought that dealing with this trash, Ye Chen, wouldn't require such a trump card.

But to his surprise, Ye Chen perfected the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' in just under a month, capable of unleashing nearly seven hundred tiger power, even posing a considerable threat to him.

Therefore, he had no choice but to display this martial art.

Clang!

In a flash of brilliance, the two sword auras clashed fiercely, causing the air within a span of dozens of feet to explode, creating bright white waves of energy.

At this moment, the surrounding space seemed to crack with slight fissures, creating an incredibly frightening scene.

Of course, that kind of thing is absolutely impossible.

Shattering the void is something only the legendary Divine Spirit powerhouse is capable of.

Ye Chen and Duanmu Jie are still far, far from reaching that step.

The reason why everyone had that illusion is because their battle was truly too intense.

"Oh my god! It's the 'Celestial Gold Sword Technique' of the Duanmu Family. Senior Brother Duanmu actually cultivated it to the Transformation Realm." The students of Profound Sword Peak couldn't help exclaiming, their expressions filled with extreme excitement.

The 'Celestial Gold Sword Technique' is a famous Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts, and only the direct descendants of the Duanmu Family can cultivate it.

Yet, Duanmu Jie is only sixteen years old this year and has already cultivated this sword technique to the Transformation Realm.

Such Sword Dao talent is truly terrifying.

"Hmph! Ye Chen, I didn't expect you, this waste, to hide so deeply, even managing to cultivate the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to perfection! But do you think this can defeat me? It's nothing but a fool's dream," Duanmu Jie sneered after blocking Ye Chen's attack.

His 'Celestial Gold Sword Technique' had not only been cultivated to the Transformation Realm but was also driven by Gang Qi, which could increase his battle power by three hundred tigers.

So at this moment, the power he unleashed had reached an astonishing seven hundred fifty tigers, even more terrifying than Ye Chen.

"They're both Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts, but I cultivated the 'Thunderstorm Swordsmanship' to the Transformation Realm, which at most increases my power by two hundred tigers, yet he can increase it by three hundred tigers! The effect of Gang Qi is indeed much greater than True Qi," Ye Chen thought to himself.

"Ye Chen, I want to see what other methods a waste like you can use to stop me. Die!" At this moment, a terrifyingly fierce light erupted from Duanmu Jie's eyes, his facial features twisting into a sinister expression.

He, a genius who awakened a Profound Level fifth-grade bloodline, had even elevated his cultivation to the third layer of the Gang Qi Realm, but was still forced by Ye Chen to use the 'Celestial Gold Sword Technique' as his trump card.

To him, this was an extreme disgrace.

So now, he just wanted to crush Ye Chen, this waste, to death quickly and had no interest in playing with him any longer.

Swish, swish, swish.

In the next moment, Duanmu Jie waved the ten-zhang-long golden sword aura in his hand, continuously slashing toward Ye Chen.

Above the Life and Death Battle Platform, terrifying Sword Qi crisscrossed. Wherever it passed, even the air was sliced apart, generating large amounts of snow-white shockwaves.

Now, Duanmu Jie, who had unleashed the Transformation Realm 'Celestial Gold Sword Technique,' had each strike reaching an astonishing power of seven hundred fifty tigers.

He couldn't believe that Ye Chen, this waste, could still withstand it.

This time, there would be no miracle.

"Hmph! Ye Chen is definitely doomed this time."

"Even if he's cultivated the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to perfection, so what? He's still going to die at Senior Brother Duanmu's hands," the students of Profound Sword Peak scoffed one after another, looking at Ye Chen as if he were already a dead man.

"Ouyang Zhong, do you really think that Ye Chen cultivating the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to perfection can truly contend with Duanmu Jie? Let me tell you clearly, that's nothing but a fool's dream. You should accept this reality sooner," Duanmu Ying coldly smiled at Ouyang Zhong in the grand, gilded hall, her eyes filled with mockery.

In fact, she was also extremely shocked when she learned that Ye Chen had cultivated the 'Ancient Golden Elephant Technique' to perfection.

Because this kind of body refining talent was just too terrifying, surpassing several times that of the third-generation Hall Master of the War King Hall.

The more it was like this, the more she wanted to eliminate Ye Chen.

Otherwise, his becoming the new Hall Master of the War King Hall was an absolute certainty.

Fortunately, Duanmu Jie's cultivation had already stepped into the third layer of the Gang Qi Realm, much stronger than a month ago.

No matter how Ye Chen struggled, today he was doomed to be crushed to death.

With a loud thud.

At this moment, Ye Chen's body was suddenly cut in half by Duanmu Jie's golden sword aura.

However, surprisingly, there was no blood splattering out.

His speed was too swift, even Duanmu Jie's golden sword aura could hardly strike his true form.

"Haha! Ye Chen, are you just going to dodge around like a lost dog? Where did your courage go just now?" Duanmu Jie sneered, looking at Ye Chen like he was a dead dog to be toyed with at will.

Whether in bloodline, cultivation, or martial arts realm, he was far superior to Ye Chen, this waste.

He wanted to see how long Ye Chen could struggle.

"Do you think only you can cultivate Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm? I can too." At this moment, dazzling thunder erupted from Ye Chen's body, emitting a world-destroying aura that made souls tremble involuntarily.

At this moment, he finally unleashed the Transformation Realm 'Thunderstorm Swordsmanship.'

This instantly increased his battle power by a huge margin, even surpassing the power of eight hundred tigers.
