I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 101: Navigating the Challenge with Two Burdens

"Is this difficult?"

Ye Qingzhou couldn't understand it, after all, his aptitude was too high, and after transmigrating, he merged with the original owner's soul, so his spiritual power grew at almost twice that of others.

In addition, his current mastery of Yin energy allows him to strengthen his spirit through internal cultivation at a rate sixteen times that of others, making the total 32 times greater.

That's why Ye Qingzhou became so incredibly strong after practicing the Heart Sword.

"Fine, I'll help you out anyway."

With a thought, Ye Qingzhou immediately connected his mind with the two. Having mastered the second level of the Heart Sword Secret Technique, he could now extend his divine sense, greatly increasing its practicality.

Xu Yuebing and Zhu Jinfeng were shocked: "Ye Qingzhou, what did you do to us?"

"Shh, don't speak, close your eyes, and feel with your heart."

Clang~

The two focused their attention and, sure enough, heard the almost imperceptible hum of the wind blades. They could even clearly discern the direction and speed of the attack, giving them ample time to respond calmly.

Xu Yuebing and Zhu Jinfeng were utterly speechless with emotion: 'Has Ye Qingzhou actually become this powerful?'

"This isn't even his limit!"

Seeing Ye Qingzhou carrying the two burdens along with her to overcome the challenges, yet still displaying an expression of complete ease, they were all filled with mixed emotions.

Although I know there are differences between geniuses.

But isn't this gap too big?

At this moment, at the entrance of Huilong Pagoda, Gu Guangqi, the teachers leading the teams from the twelve prestigious schools, and referee Xu Yinchuan all focused their attention on a stone tablet.

Before long, a new line of text appeared on the stone tablet. It was still in strange ancient script, but everyone around could understand the message it conveyed.

"Gu Junchen, 5 points."

"5 points? That's a score you can only get at the Perfected Realm, right?"

"Master Gu, congratulations! The Gu family of Xingcheng has gained another prodigy."

Many people were envious of this and surrounded Gu Guangqi, showering him with compliments.

Gu Guangqi stroked his beard, a look of satisfaction on his face: "Xiao Chen is an exceptionally talented child, and he is also very diligent and hardworking. His achievements are entirely due to his perseverance and tireless efforts."

"Not at all, not at all. Without Master Gu's meticulous guidance, even a talented person would likely be obscured."

"Yes, yes, Master Gu, please don't be modest."

His conversation was full of worldly wisdom and understanding.

Hearing the compliments from the crowd, Gu Guangqi felt secretly pleased.

For this assessment, he secretly handed over the Wind-Fixing Pearl, a treasure he had obtained by chance, to Gu Junchen.

Just as everyone was praising Gu Junchen as a genius of unparalleled talent and thought the final outcome of the Chaotic Wind Canyon challenge was about to be settled, three more lines of text appeared on the stone tablet.

"Ye Qingzhou, 5 points."

"Xu Yuebing, 5 points."

"Zhu Jinfeng, 5 points."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, especially for those who had just been praising Gu Junchen to the skies; they were now at a loss for words.

Three martial arts prodigies with perfected wind-force techniques suddenly appeared?

Do young people these days have to be so showy?

Just don't talk about martial arts!

Inside the Dragon Tower, after the three of them cleared the level, they were teleported to the second floor by three beams of white light.

Boom~

As soon as the three of them stood still, a wave of heat hit them.

After leaving the Chaotic Wind Canyon, Ye Qingzhou and his group were teleported to a boundless sea of ​​sand.

The second level is the Scorching Desert.

"Master Ye!"

Leon was also there, seemingly having just been in a battle, his body covered in bruises: "Why did you take so long to arrive?"

"Oh, I just helped them both get through the game."

"Passed the level? What score did you get?"

"5 points."

"You three all got 5 points!?"

Leon's voice rose eight octaves, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets, before he said with a wronged expression, "Teacher Ye, I paid too! How can you be so unfair?"

"You didn't say you needed my help."

Ye Qingzhou blinked, spread his hands, and looked completely innocent.

Leon pounded his chest, as if he had just missed out on a fortune, and was so heartbroken he could hardly breathe: "Damn, I was still too young."

"By the way, what's going on here?"

Ye Qingzhou stepped on the soft yellow sand, glanced at the blazing sun overhead, and began to observe his surroundings.

Leon then began to explain the rules of this level: "In the Fiery Desert, you can only use your inner fire energy to unleash your moves and wrestle with the Firescale Horned Lizard. As long as you can knock it out of the circle, you win."

Sure enough, Ye Qingzhou then saw several creatures over four meters long emerging from the sand sea not far away.

Their backs are covered with spear-like horns, their bodies are crimson red, and they can burrow into sand dunes to launch surprise attacks; they possess immense strength.

Ye Qingzhou observed carefully for a while and discovered that the Firescale Horned Lizard had webbed feet on all four limbs, which allowed them to quickly gain leverage in quicksand.

In comparison, it is difficult for human martial artists to even stand firm in quicksand, let alone to engage in a wrestling match with a fire-scaled lizard that weighs several times their own weight.

Leon sighed. "I only got 2 points in this round, but there was one guy who was really good."

Following the direction Leon was pointing, Ye Qingzhou quickly saw the person he had described as "exceptionally powerful".

This person is over 2.5 meters tall, fat and strong, with arms thicker than other people's waists. Standing there, he looks like a mountain, and the kind of volcano that could erupt at any moment.

"Niu Taijie from Yongxing No. 1 Middle School, it is said that he has not even entered the first level of the other five styles, but he has easily mastered the fire style. He has superhuman strength. If he weren't a little dim-witted, he would probably have become the team leader by now."

Before Leon could finish speaking, Niu Taijie had already grabbed the Firescale Horned Lizard in front of him, threw it out of the circle with a back throw, and steadily scored 4 points.

"Holy crap! The fire's raging!"

Those around gasped in astonishment; of the six powers, the fire power was the most dependent on physical talent.

Clearly, Niu Taijie possessed superhuman strength, making the cultivation of fire techniques effortless for him.

After defeating the fourth Firescale Horned Lizard, Niu Taijie rested briefly. Soon, the quicksand on the ground surged again, and the fifth Firescale Horned Lizard leaped out from under the yellow sand.

Its length exceeds twelve meters, nearly the size of a 50-seat bus, and it weighs over 6 tons. When it runs, it's like a dump truck that runs rampant.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, even the naturally strong Niu Taijie was no match for him, and was directly knocked away, suffering a bitter defeat.

The people around were not surprised at all. After all, they couldn't beat even a ten-meter-long fire-scaled lizard, let alone a twelve-meter-long one.
