Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 107 - 105: Rise to Power

Unexpectedly learning news about Zhao Qian from the green-clothed girl, Xiao Ye felt his pressure increase sharply.

Whether it was Zhao Qian’s cultivation level or the Martial Arts True Intent he had comprehended, they were something Xiao Ye could only look up to at the moment.

With a heavy heart, he returned to the Chongyang Secret Realm and entered the First Zone.

In a month and a half, it would be the day the Black Robed Elder recruited Direct Disciples, so the top ten Inner Sect Disciples were training with intense diligence, unwilling to let go of a single moment.

At the same time, the disciples in the Second Zone launched frenzied challenges at those ranked in the top ten.

The opportunity to become a Direct Disciple under the Black Robed Elder was a rare chance they naturally wouldn’t want to miss. Of course, they only dared to challenge those ranked sixth and below.

"The competition really is fierce." Xiao Ye had just sat down on the third stone platform when he noticed someone from the Second Zone coming forward to challenge.

Xiao Ye, not even interested in watching, closed his eyes and began cultivating.

"He’s back." Up on the second stone platform, Zhang Huwei felt a jolt in his heart, fearing being surpassed by Xiao Ye, and hurriedly resumed his own cultivation.

Naturally, the stronger the power among the top ten Inner Sect Disciples the Black Robed Elder chose for Direct Discipleship, the greater the advantage they would have.

Thus, this last month and a half was crucial; no one wanted to be trampled down by their opponents.

In the air of the First Zone, a tense atmosphere was pervasive.

"Go to First-tier Sky!" Xiao Ye, who had only been back for a day, stepped directly into the First-tier Sky.

Xiao Ye has gone to the First-tier Sky!

Inner Sect Disciples in the First Zone curiously opened their eyes, and someone had already taken out a time-measuring device to calculate the time Xiao Ye spent in cultivation.

As the fastest rising dark horse within the Inner Sect, every move of Xiao Ye drew a great deal of attention.

Zhang Huwei stared at Xiao Ye’s departing silhouette, a trace of nervousness in his heart.

"This kid’s highest record is two hundred and eighty breaths, still a distance from my three hundred and twenty breaths. He definitely can’t catch up to me."

As a disciple second only to Leng Feng in the Inner Sect, he still held this confidence.

With this thought, Zhang Huwei calmed down considerably and continued to cultivate.

Before long, a cry of shock suddenly came from outside, awakening him; just in time to see others looking at him with strange expressions.

Thump!

Xiao Ye walked out from the First-tier Sky and returned to the stone platform to sit cross-legged, with a much stronger aura emanating from his body.

Zhang Huwei’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a hurry, "How much is his time compared to mine?"

The disciple responsible for timing swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "It’s not about how much worse off he is than you, but that you are a hundred breaths behind him!"

Boom!

This figure shook Zhang Huwei’s frame, disbelief written all over his face.

"This is impossible!" Zhang Huwei took a step forward, staring at the timing device. After confirming the time was correct, he stood there, dumbstruck.

Xiao Ye had actually surpassed him by a hundred breaths; this gap was simply insurmountable!

In fact, it wasn’t just him; other Inner Sect Disciples also couldn’t believe it.

One should know that just a day before, Xiao Ye had only lasted two hundred and eighty breaths in First-tier Sky, but now he had surged directly to four hundred and twenty breaths, not far behind Leng Feng.

In just one day, Xiao Ye had leapt across a span of a hundred and forty breaths of time, which was unbelievable to anyone.

"It must be that the timing device was broken." The disciple laughed dryly, "I will get a new one to replace it later."

Hearing this, Zhang Huwei relaxed quite a bit, returning to the stone platform to resume his cultivation.

The next day, when Xiao Ye once again stood up and walked toward the First-tier Sky, he instantly awakened everyone.

"This timing device is brand new, definitely not faulty," the disciple responsible for timing smiled and said.

"What do you guess is the actual cultivation time for Xiao Ye?"

"I guess around two hundred and eighty breaths."

"I think, since Xiao Ye went to the First-tier Sky just yesterday and is entering again today, he’s not in the best condition, maintaining two hundred and seventy breaths would be impressive."

"Hehe, entering First-tier Sky so frequently, I bet it won’t be long before this kid cripples himself and becomes the next Zhan Hongfei."

The Inner Sect Disciples of the First Zone began to discuss fervently.

As time ticked by, the moment the pointer on the timing device reached two hundred and eighty breaths, the First Zone suddenly quieted down.

Everything vanished before Zhang Huwei’s eyes, leaving only those incessantly ticking digits.

Two hundred and ninety breaths...

Three hundred breaths...

Three hundred and ten breaths...

...

When it reached four hundred breaths, everyone’s mouths dropped open in astonishment, and the air seemed to stop flowing.

"Damn, was yesterday’s timing device really not broken..." someone murmured.

Zhang Huwei felt a darkness before his eyes, almost tumbling down from the stone platform.

"This kid actually held on for four hundred and twenty breaths! If this continues, he will surpass me sooner or later!" Zhang Huwei clenched his fists so tightly they crunched, a vicious look flashing in his eyes as he looked towards the direction of the First-tier Sky.

What he didn’t know was that Xiao Ye’s strength had long surpassed his own.

"It’s four hundred and eighty breaths now..." someone exclaimed at that moment.

Thump!

With a grim expression, Zhang Huwei was knocked off the stone platform.

"This is absolutely impossible! Just yesterday he lasted only four hundred and twenty breaths, how could he increase so much today!" Zhang Huwei scrambled and crawled to the front of the timing device, staring at the still rapidly changing digits, his mouth opened wide, unable to close it.

"Four hundred and ninety breaths, is this kid defying the heavens?" someone whispered to themselves.

You should know, the number one person of the Inner Sect, Leng Feng, who is about to step into the Seventh Level of the Innate Realm, only has a record of five hundred and forty breaths.

Da!

When the time reached five hundred breaths, Xiao Ye finally walked out from the First-tier Sky, his robe billowing, disheveled hair dancing, and his breathing reaching for the skies.

A silent shock permeated throughout the First Zone.

Five hundred breaths, only forty less than Leng Feng!

Ever since Leng Feng became the foremost among Inner Sect Disciples, with his supremacy, he stood above all other Inner Sect Disciples, even the combined efforts of the top five wouldn’t be a match for Leng Feng.

Leng Feng, regarded as the number one person below the Direct Disciples! A prodigious figure amongst the Chongyang Sect youth!

There were even rumors that a Black Robed Elder expressed intentions to take Leng Feng as a Direct Disciple.

And Xiao Ye’s record was nearly catching up to Leng Feng, how terrifying was that! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Currently engaging in strenuous Cultivation, Leng Feng, upon opening his eyes, appeared like a peerless long spear on the stone platform, exuding an intensely sharp presence that no one could look directly at.

This was the first time he showed War Intent since becoming the number one person of the Inner Sect.

"Hehe, finally there’s an opponent in the Inner Sect that can pique my interest. I look forward to a future battle with you," Leng Feng said, then closed his eyes again.

"A future me, have a battle with you?" Hearing this, Xiao Ye curled his lip, probably pretty soon you won’t be my match.

Xiao Ye walked back to his stone platform, stabilizing the abruptly increased Cultivation. A powerful True Qi fluctuation swept out.

"We absolutely can’t let him enter the First-tier Sky again!" Looking at Xiao Ye’s back, Zhang Huwei’s face revealed a vicious expression.

Even Leng Feng recognized Xiao Ye’s potential, how could he sit still.

The next day, when Xiao Ye was about to enter the First-tier Sky again, the figure of Zhang Huwei appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Xiao Ye, from today onwards, you are not allowed to enter the First-tier Sky!" In Zhang Huwei’s hands were a pair of hammers, his Innate Weapons.

Thinking I’m a threat, so you block me from entering the First-tier Sky?

Xiao Ye sneered inwardly, and with one word from his mouth, he said: "Scram!"

Afterwards, Xiao Ye stepped past Zhang Huwei, heading towards the First-tier Sky, too lazy to lift a hand against such people.

"You!"

Zhang Huwei first paused, then his face grew red with rage, madness flashing in his eyes: "I must kill you!"

Boom!

An overwhelming Innate True Qi erupted, rising to the sky from Zhang Huwei’s body; he held the hammers and strode forcefully towards Xiao Ye.

At the same time, an earth-yellow Martial Arts True Intent coiled around him, making him even more imposing.

Zhang Huwei’s Martial Arts True Intent was nearly solidifying.

Boom Boom Boom!

Zhang Huwei, like a giant, each step he took caused the ground to tremble, catching up to Xiao Ye in a few steps.

"Die for me!" Zhang Huwei roared, as the formidable Innate True Qi and Martial Arts True Intent intertwined, he raised the two hammers in his hands and smashed them down towards Xiao Ye.

"Has Zhang Huwei gone mad? He even used his Martial Arts True Intent, he plans to break the sect rules and kill Xiao Ye!" other Disciples were shocked.

Any Inner Sect Disciple who had realized Martial Arts True Intent, would usually consider it as their last resort and wouldn’t use it lightly.

The earth-yellow Martial Arts True Intent, formed a powerful oppressive force, aiming to immobilize Xiao Ye.

"Hmpf, the second-ranked disciple of the Inner Sect, only realized one and a half percent of Martial Arts True Intent?" Xiao Ye suddenly turned, a trace of disdain on his face.

"Zhang Huwei, you don’t even qualify to make me draw my weapon!" Xiao Ye bellowed, his hair dancing, eyes ablaze, channeling the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique.

"Scram!"

Xiao Ye danced with his fists, two solid and one phantom Giant Cauldrons appeared above his head, and the Blood Qi within his body roared and surged like the Yangtze River.

Boom!

Xiao Ye’s fists collided violently with Zhang Huwei’s hammers, erupting an intense light, the powerful force fluctuation sweeping in all directions.

Boom!

A fearsome Physical Body Power that terrified Zhang Huwei sent his hammers flying out of grip, and simultaneously, blasted him away, blood spewing violently.

"This is your strength, and you dare to block me?" Xiao Ye snorted coldly, took steps into the First-tier Sky, leaving behind a crowd of stupefied onlookers.

Xiao Ye, relying purely on Physical Body Power, defeated Zhang Huwei in one move, even without drawing his Heavenly Termination Saber!

This incident quickly passed, but everyone developed a deep sense of fear towards Xiao Ye.

Now, Xiao Ye had already become the second-ranked Inner Sect Disciple.

"This guy, does he intend to trample even Leng Feng underfoot?" Some speculated, while also eagerly anticipating whether this rapidly rising dark horse would clash fiercely with Leng Feng.

However, to their disappointment, the following month was very calm, and Xiao Ye’s Cultivation time in the First-tier Sky was always a few breaths less than Leng Feng’s.

"Alas, indeed, no matter how strong Xiao Ye is, he can’t compare to Leng Feng.," someone shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this dark horse, Xiao Ye, had already run out of potential.

Xiao Ye paid no attention to the outside comments. Under his arduous Cultivation, his Cultivation had reached the Mid Stage of the Sixth Level of Innate Realm.

"Half a month later, it will be the day when the Black Robed Elder recruits Direct Disciples; it’s time for me to go all out." Xiao Ye opened his eyes, a slight smile on his face.

He was going to continue his arduous Cultivation in the First-tier Sky for the next half a month, raise his Cultivation to the Late Stage of the Sixth Level of Innate Realm, and become an invincible Inner Sect Disciple in one fell swoop, overpowering the Inner Sect!
