Under an almost self-destructive training method, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and performed the Heaven-Ascending Step twelve times.

Twelve times later.

His legs were swollen, so large that they rivaled the Elephant King he had seen in the Luoyao Mountain Range the other day.

The power of Tian Can forcibly helped Ye Chen to clear the leg meridians while keeping the flesh from exploding.

Once it explodes, it will destroy this integrity, and even if the flesh regrows, it will be useless, leaving today's efforts wasted.

In other words.

Tremendous power had accumulated in Ye Chen's legs.

But this power was beyond his control.

If this power explodes, not only would his legs turn into a mist of blood, but his entire body might also be blown to pieces.

Tian Can said, "Alright, quickly refine this power, then it won't be a problem for you to perform the first layer of the Heaven-Ascending Step."

"Thank you, Master Legs."

Even Ye Chen's voice was trembling as he spoke.

Currently, he couldn't move at all, and Ye Chen could only sit down on the spot to prepare to practice his cultivation technique.

Just then.

Luo Qingyi appeared beside him with a cold snort.

"Go outside to train!"

Immediately afterward, Ye Chen felt like he was thrown out of the Sword Tomb, landing in the corner of the room.

Inside the Sword Tomb.

Luo Qingyi's gaze was intense as she stared at Tian Can's legs.

The leg hair on Tian Can's legs fluttered proudly, "Did you really think I was fooled by this kid? Even with his hiding, don't you think I couldn't see that there's a secret in his body?"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Sword Qi shot out from Luo Qingyi's body, instantly forming the Jue Tian Sword Domain.

"Luo Qingyi, don't push me too far! I kindly passed on the Heaven-Ascending Step to him. After some interaction, I saw that he has the Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations, is there a problem with that?!"

"Since he has the Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations, there's no need to be so gradual in training. As long as you don't overdo it to the point of death, he'll soon be lively again."

Luo Qingyi snorted coldly, "If you dare act like this again in the future, I won't forgive you!"

Leaving these words, Luo Qingyi withdrew the Jue Tian Sword Domain and turned to leave.

She knows about the Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations.

It's a physique that allows one to heal quickly after being injured.

But Ye Chen... isn't this kind of physique at all!

Ye Chen's physique is far more mysterious than the Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations.

Of course, judging by Ye Chen's performance now, it does resemble the Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations a bit.

It's no surprise Tian Can thinks that.

......

Ye Chen held the Earth Essence and trained for an afternoon and an evening.

The swelling in his legs finally disappeared.

He discovered that the meridians and acupoints in his legs related to the first layer of the Heaven-Ascending Step had been fully cleared, and there would no longer be blood vessel ruptures when circulating Qi Blood and Yuan Power.

Qi Blood and Yuan Power surged into the acupoints one by one.

Ye Chen took a step and instantly appeared in the courtyard, moving quickly.

After a quarter of an hour.

Ye Chen stopped.

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

The Heaven-Ascending Step consumes a lot of Qi Blood and Yuan Power. Were it not for Ye Chen's solid foundation, Luo Tian probably wouldn't last even half a quarter of an hour.

And even Luo Tian's considered a genius.

A normal Qi Sea Realm First Layer wouldn't be able to handle it at all.

Ye Chen left the courtyard.

On the Lingwu Division's grounds, surrounded by cliffs and equipped with an Array, there's only one exit.

These days, Senior Sister Liu Meng'Er has been guarding the exit.

Every time Ye Chen came out to look around, he could see her.

He actually knew that Liu Meng'Er was worried he would hear some rumors and impulsively run to Unparalleled County to investigate the truth after leaving the Lingwu Division.

"Junior Brother, how's your recovery?"

Liu Meng'Er greeted Ye Chen with a smile, pretending nonchalance.

Ye Chen replied, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your concern. I'm almost fully recovered."

"Good, then continue healing, and try to be fully recovered by the time the teacher returns. That'll make the teacher happy for you," Liu Meng'Er said.

"Senior Sister, I want to go out for a walk."

"Wait until you're healed."

Just then.

A voice sounded.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye!"

The rotund Fatty came running toward the Lingwu Division, his fat jiggling all over.

"Brother Fatty."

Ye Chen greeted him.

Fatty panted and then smiled as he greeted Liu Meng'Er.

"Yu Hui, greeting to the Lingwu Division's Senior Sister Liu."

Saying that, Fatty's eyes lingered on Liu Meng'Er's long legs.

"I told you not to come back!"

Liu Meng'Er's voice was icy, dripping with killing intent.

Clearly, Fatty wasn't new here.

Moreover, Ye Chen knew that his Senior Sister, though overall good-tempered, seems to have killing intent due to this lecherous fellow's wandering eyes.

Fatty said, "Senior Sister Liu, I have important business this time."

"Scram!"

Liu Meng'Er raised her hand and gave a slap.

Fatty's body flew and rolled several times after hitting the ground.

A series of wails.

Ye Chen didn't bother to intervene—serves him right for his wandering eyes.

"Senior Sister, he might really have something for me. Let me check." Ye Chen quickly walked over to Fatty and helped him up.

Fatty looked upset.

He got beaten for glancing yesterday.

Looked again today, and still got beaten.

Why can't those long legs be looked at?!

Ridiculous!

"Brother Fatty, what's the matter?"

Fatty cautiously glanced at Liu Meng'Er, shivering, then dared not look around, "Brother Ye, I've just got news that although the newcomers' hunting event was interrupted, the rewards still stand. Remember to go to Cangxing Hall tomorrow morning.

With these monster cores we have, getting into the top three is absolutely possible."

Speaking of the top three, there's Luo Tian among them.

Ye Chen's face also showed a hint of anticipation.

Inner Courtyard Disciples, top three in the newcomers' hunting event assessment, all have a chance to enter the Pure Origin Secret Realm once.

Within the Pure Origin Secret Realm, there's extremely abundant Heaven and Earth Yuan Power, only open to high-privileged Martial Arts Academy disciples, and entering once costs a thousand points.

Besides the opportunity to enter the Pure Origin Secret Realm, the top three in the newcomers' hunting event assessment receive 500, 300, and 100 points as rewards.

Moreover, the points corresponding to each person's gathered monster cores are considered personal points.

As for the delay in tallying, Ye Chen wasn't worried about potential cheating, like purchasing monster cores from other places. The Cangxing Martial Arts Academy dared to make this decision, so they must have solutions.

"Brother Ye, remember, don't forget to go tomorrow morning." Fatty said, patting Ye Chen on the shoulder.

"Senior Sister Liu, I'll be off now. I'll come back next time."

Fatty greeted Liu Meng'Er, felt her killing intent again, and quickly made an exit.

Ye Chen returned to Liu Meng'Er's side.

Liu Meng'Er said, "Junior Brother, this Fatty is unreliable. Best to keep your distance."

Your junior brother is so well-behaved, so honorable.

That dead fatty is such a lecher.

Ye Chen said, "Senior Sister, I won't let him lead me astray. No worries."

Returning to his room, Ye Chen quickly moved toward the direction where Fatty disappeared.

The message on Fatty's note was:

'Brother Ye, there are still survivors in the Bai Family, the news is absolutely true.'

Fatty's information is reliable.

Ye Chen knew that long ago.

As for the information on Fatty's note, Ye Chen believed it was true.

For Fatty's message to hold weight meant that Ye Chen totally believed it was true.

Ye Chen's grip on the note tightened, and Sword Yuan surged.

The note turned to shreds.

If there are still survivors in the Bai Family, they must not be let go!

Probably, there is a bigger motive for Fatty behind sharing this information.
