Supreme Lord of Towers

Whoosh.

Ye Chen leapt out from the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool, with green spirit liquid still clinging to his body.

In these past days, he had absorbed about half of the Wood Spirit Qi from the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool, gaining a total of 811 points of Power of Enlightenment.

This meant he could rapidly train at least sixteen Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm.

However, he wasn’t even a seed student of the War King Hall, so he wasn’t qualified to train in its Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts.

Thus, he could only save these 810 points of Power of Enlightenment for later.

About a cup of tea later, Ye Chen returned to his residence.

If he wanted to train the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the Dragon Elephant Realm, he had to use Exquisite Purple Ice to temper his physical body.

And Exquisite Purple Ice was a priceless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object that even immortals coveted.

Therefore, he absolutely could not let others know he possessed Exquisite Purple Ice.

”Even if I hide in my residence to temper my body, it’s not safe. If someone finds out I have Exquisite Purple Ice, the consequences would be unimaginable.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but frown.

”Master, you can enter the Human Emperor’s Space to temper your body. This way you can ensure absolute safety,” the Tower Spirit suggested.

The Human Emperor’s Space was an incredibly mysterious place, so much so that even the legendary Divine Spirit would struggle to detect its existence.

Thus, as long as Ye Chen trained in the Human Emperor’s Space, he wouldn’t be discovered by others.

The only downside was Ye Chen could only enter the Human Emperor’s Space once per day. Once the chance was used, it was gone.

”Alright!” Ye Chen focused his thoughts, and his body vanished instantly, pulled into the Human Emperor’s Space by an unfathomable force.

Following that, Ye Chen took out Exquisite Purple Ice, which hovered above his palm.

Though only thumb-sized, the cold Qi emanated from the Exquisite Purple Ice was extremely frigid, even the physical body of a Tier One Demon Beast couldn’t withstand it and would instantly transform into an ice statue.

Moreover, the power contained within it was far more than that. If fully unleashed, it could even threaten the life of an immortal.

However, Ye Chen’s current cultivation was too low to unleash its true power. He could only use it to suppress Gang Qi Realm Cultivators.

As for the Qi Dao Grandmasters of the Celestial Spirit Realm, they were completely unafraid of his Exquisite Purple Ice.

”Master, as long as you activate the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique, the Exquisite Purple Ice will start tempering your body automatically. However, during the tempering process, you need to absorb enough energy, otherwise it will be hard to enhance your physical power,” the Tower Spirit said.

The last time, Ye Chen had cultivated the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm, but it absorbed the power of fifty thousand Ordinary Spirit Stones.

If he wanted to train the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the Second Level of Dragon Elephant Realm, he needed at least fifty thousand Ordinary Spirit Stones.

Yet, he didn’t have that many Spirit Stones on him.

”I have two Silver Cards from the Divine Cauldron Alliance. I can go to their bank to withdraw Spirit Stones, but the Spirit Stones in these two Silver Cards are far from enough to train my Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the Dragon Elephant Realm.” Ye Chen furrowed his brow intensely.

The Divine Cauldron Alliance had a branch set up in the Royal Capital of the Celestial Flame Dynasty. If Ye Chen wanted to go there to withdraw Spirit Stones, it wouldn’t take much time.

The issue was, of the two Silver Cards he had, one was given by his adoptive father, and the other was plundered from the black-robed elder Ge Shan.

The combined wealth of these two people was far from fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

”Master, at this point, you can only ask Ouyang Zhong and the others for help. As the Grand Elder of the War King Hall, he will definitely be able to easily provide fifty thousand Ordinary Spirit Stones,” the Tower Spirit said.

”It’s the only way.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

In fact, if it were not absolutely necessary, he truly didn’t want to bother Ouyang Zhong.

After all, the other party had done so many things for him already.

But now, he really had no choice.

”Grand Elder, Ye Chen wishes to see you.” Not long after, within a grand hall atop the main peak of the War King Hall, a student reported to Ouyang Zhong.

”Hmph! He still has the nerve to see me?” Ouyang Zhong’s expression suddenly turned extremely grim.

In order for Ye Chen to survive the duel to the death, he had unhesitatingly taught Ye Chen the Ancient Golden Elephant Technique, and even allowed Ye Chen to train in the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool for a month. He had worried himself sick for him.

But Ye Chen?

He had only trained for a few days before disappearing inexplicably, not reappearing until ten days later.

This hopeless case had completely disillusioned Ouyang Zhong.

So, he was already too lazy to bother with Ye Chen anymore.

”Go tell him I’m not here.” Ouyang Zhong suppressed his anger, speaking in a cold tone.

”Wait! Father, perhaps Ye Chen has something urgent to discuss with you.” At this moment, Ouyang Xue eagerly interjected.

Although she was also deeply disappointed by Ye Chen’s self-destructive behavior, she couldn’t entirely abandon him, having personally recruited him to the War King Hall.

”Hmph! If he had listened to my arrangements and immediately trained the Ancient Golden Elephant Technique in the Cyan Wood Spirit Pool from the start, he might have stood a chance against Duanmu Jie! But now, nothing he does will matter. In three days, he’ll surely die at Duanmu Jie’s hands. If you want to see him, go ahead, but I’m not going to bother with him any longer.” Ouyang Zhong said angrily.

”Alas! Father, it’s all my fault; blame my poor judgment! You don’t need to be mad anymore.” Ouyang Xue sighed.

If she had known earlier that Ye Chen would become so self-destructive, she wouldn’t have recruited him into the War King Hall.

Then, he wouldn’t have angered Ouyang Zhong this way.

”Xue’er, I have never blamed you. Go, see him, and if he has any requests, try to fulfill them. After all, in three days he will leave this world, such a pity for his talent.” Ouyang Zhong said with deep regret.

In truth, he valued Ye Chen immensely.

If not for Ye Chen’s self-destructive behavior, he really planned to cultivate him to be the Hall Master.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen had let him down terribly.

”Teacher Ouyang.” After a while, Ye Chen encountered Ouyang Xue at the entrance of the hall.

However, the expression on Ouyang Xue’s face was as cold as frost, giving Ye Chen the feeling of facing a thousand-year-old glacier, completely unlike her previous enthusiastic demeanor.

Even Ye Chen couldn’t understand what was going on.

”Ye Chen, why do you want to see my father?” Ouyang Xue said, scanning Ye Chen with a look full of disappointment and speaking to him indifferently.

”Teacher Ouyang, are you in a bad mood? Who upset you? I’ll teach them a lesson for you.” Ye Chen frowned slightly.

He suddenly felt that Ouyang Xue seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

She wasn’t like this before.

Her exterior was cold, but her heart was warm; she just didn’t like to show it.

But now, her attitude towards Ye Chen was truly distant.

”I’m fine. Tell me, why do you want to see my father? There are only three days left before you battle Duanmu Jie to the death. If you have any wishes left unfulfilled, you can tell me, and I’ll try to satisfy them.” Ouyang Xue said faintly.

”I need fifty thousand Ordinary Spirit Stones. I wonder if Teacher Ouyang can help me.” Ye Chen said straightforwardly.

Although he didn’t understand why Ouyang Xue’s attitude changed so drastically toward him.

He believed, as long as he could kill Duanmu Jie in the duel to the death, Ouyang Xue would certainly become enthusiastic toward him again.

Because that’s reality.

”Fifty thousand Ordinary Spirit Stones? Alright, I’ll send someone to your residence with them right now.” Ouyang Xue agreed without asking what Ye Chen needed so many Spirit Stones for.

After all, fifty thousand Ordinary Spirit Stones meant nothing to the Ouyang Family; it wasn’t even as valuable as a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact!

”Thank you, Teacher Ouyang. I will definitely win the duel in three days.” Ye Chen smiled at Ouyang Xue, full of confident determination.

”You’ll win? You’ve wasted ten whole days; how are you going to defeat Duanmu Jie? Ye Chen, you’ve truly disappointed me.” Suddenly, Ouyang Xue, who had previously seemed indifferent, erupted in anger, her tone full of spite, revealing her intense frustration.

Ye Chen could even see a hint of tears in the depths of her eyes.
