Hai Wuya chuckled, his interest in Ye Chen piquing a little . A genius capable of breaking into the sixth level absolutely couldn't be looked down upon . In reality, the gap between the sixth and seventh level was not small . He and Yan Fengfeng were both geniuses who had broken into the seventh level . However, a genius capable of breaking into the sixth level might not be much inferior than them in the future . After all, if the difference between aptitudes was not too large, they might be overtaken . Aptitude was merely one standard, and one shouldn't be stuck on it too much .
"How is it?" Yan Fengfeng turned her beautiful eyes around and asked Hai Wuya .
The latter said, "A very high aptitude, not far from us, and can even catch up . But, to become a leading character in the future battle of geniuses, still a bit lacking . You should be aware that those guys are really freaks…We can barely keep up . "
"Let's watch a bit more before drawing any conclusions . " Yan Fengfeng also wished to see how many steps Ye Chen could take, and if he could break into the seventh pass .
…
The seventh level began!
Ye Chen sharply looked ahead .
Buzz…
Sounds of spatial ripples echoed unceasingly, and following it, human figures appeared one after other .
In the blink of an eye, sixty four yellow-robed sword artists appeared before Ye Chen . Although these sword artists were deathly and without a trace of vitality, the sword Qi curled outside their bodies were exceptionally strong . The sword Qi of sixty four artists converged, causing several fine sword scars to appear on the desolate ground and an invisible shockwave to spread out .
"Chop!"
If it had been a normal person, they would have certainly retreated as fast as they could to look for an opportunity to deal with them one by one . Even if there weren't too many opportunities, it would be better than confronting sixty four powerful sword artists together . Engaging such sword artists whose cultivation base and will was not inferior to oneself in a group battle would be simply suicidal . However, Ye Chen charged forth as he removed his protective Zhen Yuan and used Sword Light flying art, raising his speed to the peak .
Creak Creak Creak!
The dozens of sword artists at the front raised their sword and slashed out crescent moon shaped sword Qi . It interweaved together like a giant net, closing in on Ye Chen .
Bang!
En-route, Ye Chen abruptly shot forth; this was his true speed limit .
The dozens of sword Qi slashed at his back, creating a spatial ripple . He streaked through the small crack between the sword Qi while unsheathing the longsword at the same time . A golden sword radiance sprayed among the crowd of sword artists .
Three skulls flew in the air while spinning . Ye Chen suddenly held his breath and transformed into a black shadow, gliding right above the ground and through the crowd of sword artists .
The instant he transformed into the black shadow, at least seven black interweaving sword Qi slashed out in the void . If Ye Chen had been late in the tiniest bit or shown any hesitation, he would have been slaughtered . Under the seven sword Qi, even his corpse wouldn't have been found .
Every split second included many variables . At this moment, there was no room for the slightest amount of error .
Rumble!
The remaining sixty one yellow-robed sword artists separated, revealing Ye Chen in between . He sneered and closely followed one sword artist .
Swoosh
That sword artist collapsed, not through Ye Chen's hands, but that of another sword artist . A violent shockwave pushed Ye Chen away, following which, he arrived behind another sword artist .
One by one, yellow-robed sword artists fell . If they had intelligence, they would have certainly been quite sullen at their death .
"Void Shattering Finger!"
When the yellow-robed sword artists had completely separated and Ye Chen could no longer conceal himself, he issued the Void Shattering Finger toward the two nearest sword artists . A huge cyan colored hand pounded the two into the floor, ignoring the spatial distance . The surface quaked, knocking back the three-four yellow-robed sword artists who were charging through the air .
Bang!
Shockwaves spread out and sword Qi flew in all directions . The entire area was incessantly suffering sword Qi cuts .
…
"Still not out, he must have gone to the seventh level!"
After a certain time had passed, all the candidates should have been evaluated . The gazes looking out for Ye Chen kept increasing, suddenly making him the focal point .
"Seventh level has sixty four mental conjurings of similar cultivation base and will . To arrive at this stage, apart from Dugu Jue and Tantai Mingyue, there were only nine individuals . "
"From this day on, it has become ten . "
"Where did he come from? Such high aptitude, how come his name was never heard before?"
"He's with Yan Fengfeng . "
"Phoenix Master Yan Fengfeng? No wonder…!"
Amidst the discussions happening while looking in Ye Chen's direction, a few glances were sent toward Yan Fengfeng .
Yan Fengfeng's fame in Sky Martial City was too huge . She had a great background, and the strength of a Sea of Soul Master, titled Phoenix Master . In terms of speed, she was the number one in the Sea of Souls realm; nobody could rival her .
Her fame in Sky Martial City was no less than those few young tyrants who had shaken the world . The person she had brought, how could he be weak?
Hai Wuya was moved for the first time . He didn't expect that Ye Chen could reach the seventh level, and it seemed that he was still fighting, not defeated yet .
"Now, I'm getting a little convinced about what you said . " Sucking in a deep breath, he turned his attention back toward Ye Chen, bitterly smiling as he slowly continued, "Even if he can't be the leading character, he would be a vital supporting one . "
Leading characters… that role only had a few spots .
However, supporting characters shouldn't be looked down upon either . Often, their roles were no less important than the leading ones .
"He actually reached the seventh level . "
Xie Zhiqiu clenched his fists, not daring to believe his eyes . He originally thought that there was merely a hair's difference between him and Ye Chen that could be overcome at any moment . However, the current scenario made him suffocated .
Ling Luohan spoke no words . Ye Chen's astonishing performance was within his expectations . He wasn't convinced of Xie Zhiqiu, but surely of Ye Chen .
On the other side, Li Xiaoyun and Jing Aoxuan sucked in a breath . In the southern sector, perhaps only Astral Spirit Son was able to compete with Ye Chen, given that the former could quickly catch up . Otherwise, regardless of how much potential he had, it would be a waste .
Time trickled by, and only the final lot of candidates was left .
…
"Seventh pass is thrilling indeed…Every step is filled with killing intent . "
Ye Chen had never forced himself to this extent . While confronting a multitude of yellow-robed sword artists, his spirit, mind, and Qi had remained at the peak at all times . He couldn't loosen up by even one bit, for he knew that one slip was enough to have his body dismembered .
Swish Swish!
Sword Qi crisscrossed, interweaving into a net . Ye Chen shuttled through this net like an insect while the surrounding yellow-robed sword artists preyed upon him like spiders, unceasingly spitting out 'silk' at him in groups of three and five .
At this moment, the time spent on the seventh level was equal to combined six previous levels . Moreover, the remaining yellow-robed sword artists were still left by more than half .
"Twin Sword Style!"
His two swords crossed while Ye Chen jumped and slashed at a yellow-robed sword artist, wishing to chop its head off . But, he failed due to having to deal with a pincer attack of several other yellow-robed sword artists .
Shua!
Without any hesitation, he flew back and charged upward . His Zhen Yuan flow reversed and body turned into a mountain, rapidly falling down under gravity .
Peng Peng!
Several sword Qi collided together like fireworks, signifying the danger at every point .
"Really forcing to my limits!"
Ye Chen's spirits were completely strained, and his strength had already been brought out beyond normal . However, the danger here was excessive as well . If one were to consider killing in the sixth level easy, in the seventh level, one had to spend two folds or even three to four folds energy to kill one . Here, there was only a hair-thin difference between killing and getting killed .
Peng!
Stepping on a yellow-robed sword artist, Ye Chen's figure spun on his shoulder, causing the figure underneath to spin as well . With a stamp, the latter was flung outward before getting cleaved by three sword Qi beams .
As the time kept increasing, huge waves were set off outside .
"This…How long is it gonna go for? Don't tell me he is trying to clear it?"
"Last year, Du Gujue and Tantai Mingyue spent half a day . From this, one can easily see how frightening the seventh level is . "
Everybody was astonished; Hai Wuya and Yan Fengfeng had grave expressions . They were individuals who had reached the seventh level, and thus, they were quite clear of the situation there . Every level would double the conjuring images . However, it would be manageable up to the seventh level because at that stage, the number of images would sharply increase from thirty two to sixty-four . This was no simple increase; just like every straw that could break a camel's back, every increment was simply another torment, and an increase of thirty-two was simply a despair in itself .
Yan Fengfeng was ranked five, but she had only killed six, and Hai Wuya had merely killed four . Apart from Du Gujue and Tantai Mingyue, they didn't believe that anybody could kill more than ten in the seventh level . However, at this moment, it seemed Ye Chen was quite likely to destroy this belief .
"I also didn't expect that he could reach this step . " Yan Fengfeng let out a breath . When her master previously said that Ye Chen would have astonishing accomplishments, she only half-believed it . After all, being raised in Sky Martial City, she had seen too many peerless geniuses . There was no lack of Ye Chens here .
Hai Wuya said, "The appearance of those two is already appalling…They are comparable to your master from early days . If one more such person appears, this era will be raised to another level, a great era rarely seen since the ancient times . "
Deep down, he actually didn't believe that Ye Chen could succeed in the seventh level . It was simply because he didn't think that three freaks with monstrous talent could appear at the same time in this world . Although their talents hadn't matured yet, and thus couldn't be discussed along with the young tyrants that had shaken the heavens, with their freakish aptitudes, this would only be a matter of time .
