That person handed the token to Zhao Qin and said, “Sword Tomb. I want to enter the Sword Tomb.”
Ye Yuan’s brows raised up. This person was none other than precisely this year’s top dog, Qin Shao!
He did not expect that this Qin Shao had the same view as him without prior consultation, coming to the Sword Tomb on the first stop.
Zhao Qin was rather surprised and said, “You all, these newbies, really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. To actually choose the Sword Tomb when you just entered the sect. Heh heh, letting you all suffer some losses are good too.”
Qin Shao received the token from Zhao Qin’s hands and directly entered the Sword Tomb without even giving a greeting.
This guy was unbelievably proud!
But to the Qin Family’s people, Ye Yuan did not have any good feelings too. He naturally had no interest in saying hello.
Ye Yuan thanked Zhao Qin and directly entered the Sword Tomb.
Upon entering the Sword Tomb, Ye Yuan’s gaze suddenly turned intent too.
Entering his sight, it was all swords sprawled disorderly everywhere, too many to count!
“The name of Sword Tomb indeed lives up to its reputation!” Ye Yuan praised.
Ye Yuan had long inquired earlier. This Sword Tomb was the land of sword burial for Wu Meng Academy’s successive generations of sword-wielding experts. It contained boundless sword intent.
He chose this place as the first stop because he wanted to make use of the boundless sword intent here in order to comprehend a Sword Dao belonging just to him!
Chapter 1376
What made Ye Yuan somewhat surprised was that Qin Shao did not enter the Sword Tomb.
He seemed to be … waiting for him.
“Ye Yuan, let’s have a match, how about it?” Qin Shao said with his back to Ye Yuan.
Qin Shao, this guy, was rather cold and rather proud. Him taking the initiative to open his mouth and speak made Ye Yuan somewhat surprised.
But Ye Yuan felt that this Qin Shao did not seem to be the same type of people as the Qin Peiyu he encountered before.
At least, he did not disgust him.
At this moment, he sensed a thick fighting intent from Qin Shao’s body!
Clearly, this top dog already viewed Ye Yuan as a formidable adversary.
Ye Yuan took a step forward and stood side by side with Qin Shao and said, “How to compete?”
“In the Sword Tomb’s 18 levels, the deeper in, the more powerful the sword intent! Let’s compete and see who lasts longer in this first level region! If we both persist for one month, it’s considered a draw!” Qin Shao said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Since it’s a bet, I wonder what the wager is?”
Qin Shao said, “The loser will pay the winner the points to enter the Sword Tomb next time!”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Small gambling is entertaining, big gambling is harmful! Huhu, this idea is not bad.”
Qin Shao’s expression turned stiff, recalling the matter of Jia Chong and Ye Yuan betting, losing his entire fortune.
This matter already became a laughing stock among their batch of students.
Presumably, Jia Chong would have headaches because of points for a very long period of time.
At that time, he also thought that Ye Yuan lost for sure. He did not expect that Ye Yuan casually charged to 18 scale lines.
It was precisely because of this round that it made him have immense dread toward Ye Yuan.
“Go!”
Qin Shao leaped and directly entered the Sword Tomb.
Ye Yuan was not slow either, following closely behind.
Upon entering the Sword Tomb, it was as if entering another world!
A world of swords!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Caught unprepared, Ye Yuan immediately had several holes opened up on his body.
Countless chaotic sword law fragments flooded within this space.
Qin Shao was not much better than Ye Yuan either. Although he was not immediately injured, he was kept busy too.
“What powerful sword laws! Every sword here probably has a story. In this place, they repel each other but formed an organic whole! This place is really a superb place to comprehend the sword!” Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.
Swish!
Another sword law sliced past, nicking a cut on Ye Yuan’s face.
On the other side, Qin Shao already brought out his sword, dancing airtight, and started clashing with those sword laws.
Qin Shao’s strength was indeed powerful. It was only to see sword energy crisscrossed around him and was actually almost on par with these sword laws.
“Kid, if you still don’t draw your sword, you’ll be dismembered by a flurry of swords by these sword laws,” Dustless warned.
But Ye Yuan looked in Qin Shao’s direction as if deep in thought.
“Rejecting these sword laws outside the door, how to comprehend the sword? I want to … test the swords with my body!” Ye Yuan said.
Dustless could not help choking when he heard that. He said, “You lunatic!”
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “Only through madness one can achieve greatness!”
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Those sword laws were not the slightest bit courteous, learning behind streaks of sword scars on Ye Yuan’s body.
Ye Yuan revolved the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art frenziedly, repairing those streaks of sword marks.
Ye Yuan discovered that this was a violent world of swords.
Comprehending swords here was different from comprehending cultivation methods and martial techniques.
Each sword here, each sword law fragment, they were all the condensation of a martial artist’s lifelong painstaking effort.
For Ye Yuan to want to learn the strengths of everyone and create a Sword Dao belonging to himself, he had to go and understand these laws of sword.
Confronting these sword laws like Qin Shao, one would forever be unable to comprehend where the true meaning of these sword laws lay.
Hence, he chose to test the swords with his body!
Want to learn how to beat people, one had to first learn how to take a beating.
It was this logic.
Although the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art was strong, the sword laws here were too many and too strong. Ye Yuan’s expenditure would become greater and greater, and his wounds would also be deeper and deeper.
Time passed day by day, Qin Shao’s consumption also became greater and greater, gradually falling short.
I heard that the first time the previous season’s top dog entered the Sword Tomb, the result was 23 days. I’ve already persisted for 26 days. This result is already very good, right? Ye Yuan’s true combat power definitely can’t handle this, so he must have long failed to hold out already, right? Qin Shao thought.
The sword laws here were too powerful. After it started, Qin Shao could not pay attention to Ye Yuan, devoting all his attention to dealing with them.
Ye Yuan’s first round and third round’s performance in the test were very astonishing. But the second round was relatively ordinary.
Hence, Qin Shao determined that Ye Yuan’s true combat strength should be poor.
In a blink, Qin Shao persisted 26 days, already reaching the point where a lamp’s fire was dying and oil ran dry.
Continuing to hold on, he would be dismembered by a flurry of swords.
Qin Shao leaped and withdrew from the Sword Tomb.
His figure had just steadied itself when his eyes suddenly turned intent!
Ye Yuan was actually still in the Sword Tomb!
Swish!
A ray of sword energy directly hewed open a tear on Ye Yuan’s body, deep until bones could be seen!
Ye Yuan’s body was long stained by fresh blood already.
“This guy, he … How in the world did he do it? Could it be that these 26 days, he stalled it out like this?” A look of disbelief revealed in Qin Shao’s gaze.
He was very clear about these sword energies’ might. Even if it was him, if he was like Ye Yuan, he absolutely could not persist three days too.
But Ye Yuan actually hung on for a full 26 days!
“This guy wouldn’t be doing it in order to win the points for entering the Sword Tomb next time, right? No, absolutely impossible!”
Qin Shao’s first reaction was that Ye Yuan was trying to win against him.
But very soon, he denied this idea of Ye Yuan.
Although he did not know much about Ye Yuan, he could feel that Ye Yuan absolutely would not do such a thing for the sake of this kind of lame reason.
Moreover, Ye Yuan’s points were not few.
Qin Shao’s expression was very ugly. He did not expect that he actually lost in such a way.
“Ye Yuan, you already won!” Qin Shao said in a clear voice.
However, Ye Yuan seemingly could not hear his words at all, and still forcefully held on.
Qin Shao could sense that Ye Yuan was already an arrow at the end of its flight. But he could not figure out what the hell Ye Yuan was hanging in there for.
Continuously enduring the swords like this, could it be that it was helpful towards cultivation?
Qin Shao felt that apart from aggravating his injuries, there were no benefits at all!
He did not leave right away but quietly watched Ye Yuan outside.
He discovered that the speed Ye Yuan’s fleshy body recovered was very fast!
Although this speed got slower and slower, Qin Shao could still sense it.
Qin Shao knew that Ye Yuan relied on this skill to hold out until now.
Ye Yuan doing so definitely has a deep meaning to it! This guy is really hard to fathom! It looks like I was too arrogant in the past! This Ye Yuan might very likely be my greatest opponent in the future! Qin Shao thought.
On the 30th day, Ye Yuan dragged his injury-laden body and walked out of the Sword Tomb’s first level region.
Chapter 1377
“Heh, what did I tell you guys? With your current strength, going in is equivalent to courting death. There won’t be any harvests at all.”
Zhao Qin looked at Ye Yuan, who was covered in injuries. His facial expression was filled with mockery.
This kind of student who overestimated their own ability, he had seen plenty and did not have any sympathy.
He already warned previously, so who was to blame for not listening to the warning?
Qin Shao passed his academy token to Zhao Qin and said, “Sword Tomb. Please help me deduct the points for entering the Sword Tomb once and write it on Ye Yuan’s token.”
In the academy, this kind of deduction method could be seen everywhere and did not have anything strange.
Of course, the prerequisite was that one took the initiative to request.
Zhao Qin froze and immediately could not help laughing as he said, “Heh, you all are new and still don’t know how valuable points are living in the academy, right?”
Qin Shao gave Zhao Qin a glance and explained, “I lost a bet to him. He persisted for a whole month in the Sword Tomb’s first level, this is the wager.”
With Qin Shao’s personality, he originally could not be bothered to explain.
But no idea why, he still explained it unbeknownst to gods and ghosts.
Hearing Qin Shao’s explanation, Zhao Qin got a shock. “What? He … He persisted like this for a month? Impossible!”
It was no wonder that Zhao Qin was surprised. With Ye Yuan’s bit of strength, persisting inside for a month, he would long have been dismembered by a flurry of swords. How could it be possible to come out alive?
Many weak students all went in to challenge it, and then they came out to get treatment for a few days after being hurt by the sword energies.
After their injuries healed, they would enter again, rinse and repeat like this.
Zhao Qin thought that Ye Yuan receiving such heavy injuries, it must have been the case like the others, entering the Sword Tomb, leaving with injuries, entering again, and repeating the cycle. He thought this was God knows how many times Ye Yuan already attempted this.
But Qin Shao said that Ye Yuan just kept on persisting inside for a month!
Qin Shao was disdainful to explain too much. He had his pride and just said indifferently, “Senior Apprentice Brother, please help me to deduct the points.”
“Ah? O-Oh!”
Zhao Qin’s entire person was still in the midst of shock. Being told like this by Qin Shao, only then did he deduct Qin Shao’s 20 points and put it down on Ye Yuan’s token.
Finishing with these, Qin Shao said to Ye Yuan, “When is the next time you’re coming?”
Ye Yuan forced a smile and said, “Why? Still want to compete?”
Qin Shao shook his head and said, “There’s no point to compete again! Next time, I can definitely last 30 days! I just want to take a look at what on earth you’re trying to do.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Uh … If barring no accidents, half a month later!”
Qin Shao nodded his head and said, “Okay, half a month later, I’ll come again!”
Qin Shao was just about to leave when a person came from head-on.
Seeing the arrival, Qin Shao’s expression changed, and he bowed and said, “I’ve seen Big Brother Qin Tian!”
Qin Tian’s expression was frosty, no joy nor sorrow on his face. Seeing Qin Shao greeted him, he nodded and said, “Heard that you obtained the top dog position this time?”
Zhao Qin’s expression turned stiff, and he looked at Qin Shao in surprise. He did not think that this guy was actually the top dog this time!
Since he was the top dog, Qin Shao’s strength could be imagined.
But he actually lost to this middle-stage Grotto Profound?
How was this possible?
Zhao Qin suddenly discovered that his mind was somewhat in a mess.
Qin Shao seemed to be rather fearful toward this Qin Tian and immediately said respectfully, “Mn, not bad.”
Qin Tian nodded. He said, “Work hard, and in the future, my Qin Family will definitely have a place for you!”
“Yes, Big Brother Qin Tian. Younger Brother will definitely work hard!” Qin Shao replied.
Then Qin Tian’s gaze looked toward Ye Yuan at this time, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said, “Stay further away from that punk. He’s a dead man sooner or later!”
These words that Qin Tian suddenly said made everyone stunned.
Qin Shao’s expression was very confused, uncertain what in the world happened.
Ye Yuan’s face fell; a cold light flashed in his eyes too.
Very clearly, this Qin Tian meant the incident at the Clearwind Inn that day.
It was just that this Qin Tian was too crazy, simply looking down on everything!
In his eyes, he already sentenced Ye Yuan to death.
Qin Tian had no intention of explaining. Handing the academy token to Zhao Qin, he said, “The 11th level, 5 times!”
Ye Yuan’s gaze turned intent again. He did not expect that Qin Tian’s strength was actually so strong!
Those able to make it to the 11th level were basically all that strongest batch in the academy!
Zhao Qin hurriedly helped Qin Tian swipe the token, then handed it back respectfully, thickened his face, and said, “Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian, it’s already done!”
Qin Tian nodded slightly, received the token, and directly entered the Sword Tomb.
Only then did Qin Shao come to his senses, but he discovered that Ye Yuan already dragged his heavily wounded body and left step by step.
His brows furrowed together, unable to figure out how Ye Yuan provoked Big Brother Qin Tian.
But being eyed by Big Brother Qin Tian, Ye Yuan most likely could not escape this calamity.
In Qin Shao’s eyes, he was already matchless among peers.
It was true that Jia Chong’s strength was strong, but Qin Shao’s disparity with Jia Chong woul
d only grow wider and wider!
But the feeling that Ye Yuan gave him was completely different. He had a feeling that Ye Yuan was bound to be a formidable foe of his in the future.
He needed such a powerful adversary!
Finally, Qin Shao sighed and slowly left.
Zhao Qin looked at Ye Yuan’s departing back view rather sympathetically and shook his head and said, “This kid seems to be rather extraordinary. It’s too bad that … he provoked Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian!”
…
“Goodness me, my ancestor, how did you get injured like this? Who did this? Your brother, I, will help you to take revenge!”
Upon seeing Ye Yuan, Xie Jingyi’s entire person jumped up.
Ye Yuan said feebly, “Enough crap. Quickly help me in!”
Xie Jingyi hurriedly went up and helped Ye Yuan into the residence.
After returning to the residence, Ye Yuan swallowed two divine-grade medicinal pills before his injuries were gradually brought under control.
But the injuries this time were indeed rather heavy. Without eight to ten days, he could forget about recovering.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s condition turned a little better, Xie Jingyi said, “I say, it’s only been a few days of not seeing you. So how did you end up like this?”
Ye Yuan said huffily, “Cultivating in the Sword Tomb. Didn’t I tell you?”
Xie Jingyi’s neck involuntarily shrunk, and he said in surprise, “No way, right? Your way of cultivation is too dangerous! How is this cultivation? This is totally playing with life! Lord Fatty, I, still want to live a few days more. Better don’t go.”
Ye Yuan could not be bothered to talk nonsense with this guy and asked, “Ask you about something. Do you know who Qin Tian is? Uh … He should be a Qin Family’s person.”
Xie Jingyi looked at Ye Yuan with a strange look and said, “No way, right? You actually don’t even know who Qin Tian is?”
Ye Yuan said with a curious look, “Is he very famous? Why must I know him?”
Xie Jingyi looked at Ye Yuan as if he was looking at an alien and said, “More than just famous! It’s too famous, very famous! In the entire Wu Meng Capital City, virtually no one doesn’t know him, okay?!”
Ye Yuan’s brows creased, discovering that he seemed to have been eyed by some remarkable guy.
