Supreme Lord of Towers

Ye Chen had three ways to enhance his strength.

The first method was to improve his cultivation.

Currently, he was only at the True Qi Realm Seventh Layer. If he could break through to the Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm, his strength would certainly see a significant increase.

However, it was almost impossible for Ye Chen to break through to the Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm in just one month.

Moreover, even if he could do so, he still wouldn’t be a match for Duanmu Jie.

After all, Duanmu Jie’s cultivation had already stepped into the Gang Qi Realm Second Layer and possessed threefold Qi Sea Foundation.

Even if Ye Chen had a fivefold Qi Sea Foundation and progressed to the Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm, he still couldn’t bridge the gap between them.

Therefore, Ouyang Zhong directly dismissed this method.

The second way was to improve Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Realm.

Ye Chen’s ”Thunderstorm Swordsmanship” had already been cultivated to the Perfection Realm, with extremely powerful might, yet using it to defeat Duanmu Jie was like comparing heaven and earth.

Unless Ye Chen could cultivate ”Thunderstorm Swordsmanship” to the Transformation Realm, it might threaten Duanmu Jie.

However, cultivating the Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts ”Thunderstorm Swordsmanship” to the Transformation Realm was easier said than done.

Even Chu Feng, the top genius of Celestial Flame Academy, took more than half a year to cultivate a Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm, even with his Profound Level Second Grade bloodline.

Although Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Talent was extremely high, almost reaching the legendary Super Grade, wanting to cultivate ”Thunderstorm Swordsmanship” to the Transformation Realm in just one month was evidently as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Therefore, Ouyang Zhong could only eliminate this method too.

In his opinion, only the third method held a glimmer of hope to help Ye Chen defeat Duanmu Jie.

This method was to enhance Ye Chen’s Physical Power.

If Ye Chen could cultivate the ”Ancient Golden Elephant Technique” to the Perfection Realm within a short month, he would gain the Power of Five Hundred Tigers.

By then, crushing Duanmu Jie at the Gang Qi Realm Second Layer shouldn’t be a difficult task.

”Ye Chen, from what I know, Duanmu Jie possesses a threefold Qi Sea Foundation. Although his Gang Qi can already rival the ordinary cultivators of the Gang Qi Realm Sixth Layer, at most, he could only unleash the Power of Three Hundred Tigers. Even if he activates his Profound Level Fifth Grade bloodline, the power he unleashes shouldn’t reach the Power of Five Hundred Tigers. So, if you can cultivate the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’

to Perfection, there’s hope to kill him,” Ouyang Zhong began to analyze for Ye Chen.

”This Body Refining Technique is so powerful that, when cultivated to perfection, it can grant the Power of Five Hundred Tigers, much stronger than the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm of my Human Emperor Body,” Ye Chen couldn’t help but be astonished.

It’s important to know that after cultivating the Human Emperor Body to the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm, the physical body could only possess the Power of One Hundred Tigers.

Whereas cultivating the ”Ancient Golden Elephant Technique” to Perfection could give the Power of Five Hundred Tigers, five times stronger than the First Realm of the Human Emperor Body.

This made Ye Chen doubt the utility of the Human Emperor Body, wondering if it was as heaven-defying as the Tower Spirit had claimed.

”Master, I’ve told you many times, the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm of the Human Emperor Body is only to lay the foundation for your physical body. In terms of power, it isn’t very strong. However, once you step into the Second Level of Dragon Elephant Realm, it will be different, and its heaven-defying attributes will gradually manifest,” the Tower Spirit seemingly seeing through Ye Chen’s thoughts, couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

”Tower Spirit, just how powerful is the Dragon Elephant Realm?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask.

”Once you step into the Dragon Elephant Realm, your physical body can rival a young dragon elephant, possessing at least the Power of One Thousand Tigers,” the Tower Spirit smiled slightly.

It’s known that the Power of One Thousand Tigers is equivalent to a million jin of strength.

Even for a giant palace, Ye Chen could use this strength to move it.

If this strength struck upon flesh, the result would be unimaginably terrifying.

”The Power of One Thousand Tigers isn’t very strong! It’s just twice as powerful as the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,’” Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, clearly not satisfied with this result.

Though the Power of One Thousand Tigers was already quite strong, equivalent to the power that ordinary Gang Qi Realm Tenth Layer cultivators could unleash with their Gang Qi.

However, the Human Emperor Body is the supreme divine body created by the Supreme Human Emperor with his life’s effort. To only have the Power of One Thousand Tigers at the Second Realm seems far from heaven-defying!

It’s important to note that even the Body Refining Technique ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ of the War King Hall, upon reaching Perfection, could also yield the Power of Five Hundred Tigers.

And this Body Refining Technique should be considered quite ordinary throughout the Southern Heaven Domain.

There are definitely Body Refining Techniques much stronger than the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,’ which might not require reaching Perfection to possess the Power of One Thousand Tigers.

Compared to these Body Refining Techniques, Ye Chen’s Human Emperor Body indeed shows little advantage.

”Master, you’ve misunderstood. The Second Level of the Dragon Elephant Realm of the Human Emperor Body has no upper limit to its power. The Power of One Thousand Tigers is merely the power available upon entering the Dragon Elephant Realm. As long as you continue cultivating, the power can keep increasing indefinitely,” the Tower Spirit said with a smile.

”What? How is that possible?” Ye Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, full of disbelief in his eyes.

At this moment, he finally began to feel the heaven-defying aspect of the Wan Dao Human Emperor Physique, which could endlessly enhance the physical power.

In such a comparison, other body refining techniques instantly became a joke.

No matter how powerful the body refining techniques of this world are, they definitely have limits and can never be improved endlessly like the Wan Dao Human Emperor Physique.

”Master, you just need to have the power of a young dragon elephant, and you can easily crush that Duanmu Jie, not to mention, you will later be able to possess the power of two, or even more than ten young dragon elephants, so your top priority is to quickly cultivate the Wan Dao Human Emperor Physique to the Second Level of Dragon Elephant Realm. As for this ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,’ it is just a

joke in front of the Wan Dao Human Emperor Physique, and there’s no need for you to waste time practicing it,” the Tower Spirit said with a disdainful look.

In the eyes of the students of the War King Hall, the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ is definitely considered one of the top body refining techniques.

However, in the eyes of the Tower Spirit, it is nothing.

There’s simply no need for Ye Chen to practice it.

”Ye Chen, this ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ has been practiced by basically every past Hall Master of the War King Hall, but reaching Perfection Realm with it is extremely difficult. Even with the assistance of the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool, most cannot achieve perfection within three years! The fastest in our War King Hall’s history to reach Perfection Realm was the third-generation Hall Master, who did it in just four months,” Ouyang Zhong couldn’t help but lament.

He had practiced the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ himself, so he understood how difficult it was to master this body refining technique to perfection.

Even for him, it took more than two years to succeed.

However, in that time, having physical power equivalent to the power of five hundred tigers was quite commendable, even enough to fight a normal Qi Dao Master’s Tenth Layer Gang Qi Realm.

Of course, in front of those with twice or even three times the Qi Sea Foundation, it was still far from enough.

The fastest in the history of the War King Hall to reach Perfection with the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ was the third-generation Hall Master.

He succeeded in just about four months.

But now, Ye Chen has only a month left, and even if his body refining talent is not inferior to the third-generation Hall Master, it is basically impossible to perfect the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ in such a short amount of time.

Therefore, Ouyang Zhong now can only try desperate measures for Ye Chen.

Besides enhancing Ye Chen’s physical power, he really couldn’t think of any other way to save Ye Chen.

”Alas! It’s basically impossible for Ye Chen to perfect the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ in one month. The only hope is for him to reach the Great Success Realm with it, which would add two hundred tiger power to his body. In this way, he still has a slight hope of confronting Duanmu Jie,” Ouyang Zhong consoled himself.

The ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ is divided into four levels.

The first-level Entry Realm can enhance fifty tiger power, and with Ye Chen’s body refining talent, he should reach it quickly.

The second-level Small Success Realm can enhance one hundred tiger power, but reaching this stage is much harder than reaching Entry Level.

The third-level Great Success Realm can enhance two hundred tiger power, and Ye Chen still has a slight hope of reaching it within a month.

As for the fourth-level Perfection Realm, which can enhance five hundred tiger power, the time left for Ye Chen is just too little. Achieving it in a month is almost impossible.

Thus, Ouyang Zhong now only hopes that Ye Chen can cultivate the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ to the third-level Great Success Realm.

In that case, his physical power could increase by two hundred tiger power, adding to the one hundred tiger power he already possesses, giving him a chance to fight Duanmu Jie.

Whether he can defeat Duanmu Jie depends on heaven’s will.

”Elder Ouyang, are you saying this body refining technique needs to be cultivated with the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool? So when can I enter the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool?” A sharp light shot from Ye Chen’s eyes, his expression full of excitement.

One reason he chose to join the War King Hall is because of the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool, a treasure spot for cultivating.

According to the Tower Spirit’s speculation, the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool likely contains a large amount of Wood Spirit Qi; otherwise, it couldn’t restore damaged bodies.

And Wood Spirit Qi, once absorbed by Ye Chen’s Enlightenment Divine Tower, can be converted into the Power of Enlightenment.

As long as he has enough Power of Enlightenment, Ye Chen can quickly cultivate the Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts of ’Torrential Rain Swordsmanship’ to the Transformation Realm.

At that time, his strength will undergo earth-shattering changes, perhaps even defeating Duanmu Jie.

”Ye Chen, from today forward, the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool is open only to you. You can enter to cultivate anytime,” said Ouyang Zhong.

The War King Hall’s body refining techniques are incredibly painful to cultivate, requiring external forces to temper the body.

Especially the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,’ which greatly damages the body, posing life-threatening risks without immersion in the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool.

Thus, only by coordinating with the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool could Ye Chen possibly achieve Great Success in the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ within a month.

To ensure no one disturbs Ye Chen, Ouyang Zhong decided to open the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool only to him for the next month.

This decision also highlights how much he values Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen were killed by Duanmu Jie on the Life and Death Battle Platform, the War King Hall might never find such a promising seedling again.
