Facing Han Qianshan's formidable and peerless strike, Ye Chen's heart blazed with battle intent!

Han Qianshan's strength was formidable, and the power of this strike was far more terrifying than the decisive spear of Sun Siming!

However.

Ye Chen was unafraid!

The power of the union of spirit and martial arts surged within him, and then, the Demonic Qi also merged into it.

He had once tried merging Demonic Qi into the power of the spirit-martial union in the Sword Tomb, and Luo Qingyi had judged that even a Legendary Powerhouse of the Heaven-Reaching Realm couldn't discern it.

Therefore, even though there was a large group of experts watching below, Ye Chen had no worries.

In an instant, the four kinds of power fused, and with the surge of the Wave Stacking Force, the power was directly multiplied fourfold!

In Ye Chen's eyes, a brilliant light shone, and the divine technique of the Martial Arts True Eye was unleashed, capturing the weakest point of Han Qianshan's strike.

Speaking of a weak point, it was only relative; the power of Han Qianshan's strike was nearly perfect.

The Celestial Mark Sword in Ye Chen's hand slanted upwards, swinging towards the blade light coming his way.

The sword light, like a terrifying torrent, poured out along the blade.

The blade light and the sword light collided violently in the air.

"Boom!"

At that moment, even the space trembled!

Mountains and rocks shattered, powerful waves swept in all directions.

Ye Chen's figure shot backward, crashing into the cliff face of War Soul Mountain.

Immediately, the rocks exploded, and Ye Chen charged out, covered in dirt and stone debris, yet showing no hint of disarray.

Han Qianshan's eyes narrowed, his voice deep: "Your strength completely exceeded my expectations, worthy of being taken seriously by me!"

As the core of the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy team, Han Qianshan's talent was undoubtedly among the top tier in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and he was almost thirty years old!

In his opinion, among all the participants in this Winds and Clouds Competition, none could take a strike from him unscathed, yet Ye Chen had done it. Though Ye Chen was knocked flying, he was unhurt!

Ye Chen grinned but didn't say a word more, his steps flickered, and he rushed straight toward Han Qianshan.

The spirit-martial union of the four kinds of power and the Wave Stacking Force were maintained at all times.

Using the Martial Arts True Eye to observe Han Qianshan's power flow and attack methods.

Heaven-Ascending Step and the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique worked in tandem!

In that moment.

Sword and blade shadows enveloped the top of War Soul Mountain.

The rumble echoed unceasingly.

At the mountain's foot.

A crowd of experts, expressions filled with boundless emotion.

"I didn't expect that Ye Chen from the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, besides the union of spirit and martial arts and his astonishing speed, would also have such a strong physique, probably no weaker than some geniuses who focus on the physical path."

"I also don't know how Yang Tianji actually trains his disciples. It's said that when Ye Chen joined the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, his strength was negligible, you could say he had almost no foundation, yet in less than half a year, he's grown to this point. This is probably not just extraordinary talent, right?"

"Isn't there a rumor that Dean Yu Sheng of Luofeng Martial Arts Academy also invested many resources in him? Cultivating a prodigious talent with the power of two major academies to this level in half a year is not entirely impossible."

These discussions, though indirect, all pointed to certain secrets about Ye Chen.

He Dong snorted coldly, saying, "How we at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy train our disciples is none of your business. If you want to know, you can visit the Spirit Martial Department of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy. Dean Ouyang and Elder Yang might be happy to tell you."

Fatty's aunt, Yu Bihua of Luofeng Martial Arts Academy, also smiled, "That old thing in my family did the wisest thing by betting on Ye Chen, so I advise those with ulterior motives to best not act rashly. Otherwise, if that old thing gets mad, it won't end well."

With the words from He Dong and Yu Bihua, many faces in the crowd changed.

They were very interested in Ye Chen's secrets.

But thinking about Yang Tianji and Ouyang Shang, they couldn't help but shiver.

No need to mention Yang Tianji, his spirit-martial union entered the Legendary sequence of the Heaven-Reaching Realm, and his combat power at this level was undoubtedly formidable.

Ouyang Shang, who was previously unassuming, turned out to also be a Legendary Powerhouse of the Heaven-Reaching Realm. Not long ago, Ouyang Shang repelled the Blood Demon Ancestor alone, astonishing the circle of experts in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Besides that.

Although Yu Sheng was not a legend, his means were arguably even scarier than legends. Yu Sheng's Heaven Concealing Secret Technique could calculate the secrets of heaven, and those targeted by Yu Sheng could have their ancestral secrets easily dug out...

Then, Xu Changqing, the dean of Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, chuckled and said, "Everyone present are pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty's academies. You ought to be more accommodating, give some space, let the young ones grow, and not always fixate on the extraordinary parts of some prodigies.

Which prodigy doesn't have a bit of a secret?

If you really dig out all the secrets of every genius, it'll be utter chaos. Then which prodigy would still dare stay in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Sixth Prince, don't you agree?"

Zhou Chengqian was originally watching the battle at the top of War Soul Mountain, his eyes showing a grave expression.

Before, he never took Ye Chen seriously.

Even when Ye Chen made a name for himself by defeating six people at once a few days ago, Zhou Chengqian didn't care much.

But now.

He realized he had made a grievous mistake.

Ye Chen could fight Han Qianshan so fiercely without losing, and Zhou Chengqian finally felt the threat from Ye Chen!

Although Zhou Chengqian's strength was much stronger than Han Qianshan's, and he was younger than Han Qianshan.

But Ye Chen was now catching up to Han Qianshan!

And Ye Chen was not even nineteen, much younger than Zhou Chengqian!

Responding to Xu Changqing's question, Zhou Chengqian regained his composure, his expression returned to a calm and natural state, nodded and said: "No matter what secrets there are, others should not forcefully investigate. As long as they belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are the Great Zhou Dynasty's fortune."

As the crowd was talking, suddenly, an exclamation arose among them.

"Extreme Earth Seal Spirit Master, another Extreme Spirit Master!"

Everyone's gaze once again focused on the area near the top of War Soul Mountain.

A silver spirit seal projection, flickering with light, its aura pure!

This is the emblem of a Tier Four Ultimate Earth Spirit Seal Master!

And this Tier Four Ultimate Earth Spirit Seal projection comes from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Ouyang Xiaoling!

The granddaughter of Ouyang Shang!

At this moment.

Ye Chen was battling Han Qianshan alone, the fight intense. Despite employing all his techniques, Han Qianshan was no easy opponent, and the situation was deadlocked!

Sun Siming, facing two from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy in the First Layer of Transcendence, was also in a less optimistic scenario.

Qu Xiao barely managed to entangle one newcomer in the First Layer of Transcendence from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy; had her opponent been accustomed to the strength of the Transcendence Realm, she would have been defeated long ago.

The chubby Tier Four Earth Seal Spirit Master was evenly matched with the Tier Five Earth Seal Spirit Master from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy. Fortunately, the chubby one had the six-feature Earth Spirit Seal, while the one from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy had the four-feature Earth Spirit Seal.

And Ouyang Xiaoling, standing at a distance, did not rush into the battlefield. She was bathed in the brilliant light of the silver spirit seal, forming a double-hand seal to control the spirit seal projection, which condensed into a large silver bell!

"I knew this little bell had a trump card, hahaha!" The chubby one laughed while fighting his opponent.

Earlier.

In the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy team, although Ouyang Xiaoling's cultivation was slightly higher than Qu Xiao's, Qu Xiao's performance was far more outstanding than Ouyang Xiaoling's.

Ouyang Xiaoling was close to becoming the most marginal member of the team.

But is it possible?

She is, after all, Ouyang Shang's granddaughter!

The chubby one always believed Ouyang Xiaoling had hidden means, and now, he finally saw them.

Ouyang Xiaoling is a Tier Four Ultimate Earth Spirit Seal Master!

Moreover, Ouyang Xiaoling's silver Earth Spirit Seal, with its profound silvery light, although not as strong as the chubby one's, was more solid than that of the Earth Seal Spirit Master from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, indicating that Ouyang Xiaoling's Ultimate Earth Spirit Seal was formed by five sets of spiritual patterns.

Ouyang Xiaoling formed a double-hand seal, and the bell transformed from her spirit seal shook.

"Jingle!"

The crisp sound rang out.

Then.

Silver beams of light shot out from the bell.

Totaling four beams, they landed on Ye Chen, Sun Siming, Qu Xiao, and the chubby one.

The combat strength of the four surged instantly!

This scene once again stunned the powerhouses watching from the foot of the mountain.

Ouyang Shang's granddaughter, Ouyang Xiaoling, walking the path of the Extreme Spirit Master, chose support!

Support-type Spirit Masters are very few.

Especially pure support ones!

Even more so extreme earth seal spirit masters specializing purely in support...

Who, possessing the talent to become an Earth Seal Spirit Master, would resign to being mere support?

But now, here was one...

With the burst of Ouyang Xiaoling's Ultimate Earth Spirit Seal power, Ye Chen felt it distinctly, his combat capabilities soaring by about forty percent!

Originally.

With all cards on the table, Ye Chen's battle with Han Qianshan, while not ending in loss, wasn't heading for victory either... Dragging it out meant a high chance of defeat.

But now... Ye Chen regained his confidence!

Unleashing a move, the Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword stabbed forward as Han Qianshan held his blade horizontally.

"Clang!"

The tip of the Celestial Mark Sword pierced the side of Han Qianshan's long blade.

The long blade bent.

Han Qianshan's body flew backward.

With a dominating aura, Ye Chen brandished the Celestial Mark Sword, hundreds of strands of Sword Qi emerging around him in an instant.

"A Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

Ye Chen shouted fiercely, swinging his sword down.

This was swordsmanship belonging to the unity of spirit and martial arts, showcasing the combined power seamlessly!

Facing this strike from Ye Chen.

Han Qianshan gritted his teeth, his power boiling over as well, an overwhelming aura blazing like the sun, his long blade slashing toward Ye Chen's massive Sword Qi.

A Golden Crow engulfed in surging flames appeared at his blade's tip.

This was Han Qianshan's trump card, the Golden Crow Saber Technique.

Under the pressure from Ye Chen, he had no choice but to use this move.

At that moment, the first prodigy of Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy made a all-out effort!

And the powerhouses watching below couldn't help but show expressions of tension on their faces.

Most of them were at the Unity Realm.

A few Transcendence Realm individuals were the leaders amongst their ranks.

Normally, they would merely find these disciples' duels interesting, but not enough to captivate them.

Yet now, the impending clash of strongest moves between Ye Chen and Han Qianshan had everyone's breathing rapid, eyes wide open, unwilling to miss any detail!

Would the Golden Crow Saber Technique of Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy's first prodigy, Han Qianshan, prevail? Or was Cangxing Martial Arts Academy's Lingwu Department's Ye Chen's A Thousand Swords Return to the Sect stronger?

The answer.

Was about to be revealed!
