Supreme Sword God

Chapter 898: Chapter 897: Rules, Plans Changed

The gigantic Martial Arts Arena on Island No.1.

Approximately three hundred young people from this sea region have gathered.

When Ye Chen and Yi’an arrived, immediately, countless gazes converged on Ye Chen.

“Young Master Ye, I’ve long admired your reputation.”

“Young Master Ye is indeed a dragon among men, please take care of me.”

“I am Li Ye from Island No.98. Our Island No.98 has always had close ties with Island No.99, you could say I grew up under Uncle Fang’s watch…”

A burst of warm greetings surged towards Ye Chen.

A few days ago, Ye Chen used Pupil Technique Divine Techniques to discover a divine medicine seed, and also used Pupil Technique Divine Techniques to completely crush Hong Mei’s perception. The news about Ye Chen’s potential as a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser had already spread widely.

Moreover, some rumors suggested that Liu Mubai, the chief envoy of the Martial Alliance responsible for this assessment, Lin Yi of the Spirit Alliance, and Lu Li of the Body Alliance, had all expressed intentions to recruit Ye Chen.

It is conceivable that once Ye Chen enters the Inner Sea, he will soon reach the peak of his life, shining brilliantly.

Even though it was too late to establish friendship with Ye Chen, it was still good to create some familiarity. Perhaps it would be useful in the future.

Notorious as the number one prodigy in this sea region, He Xun had a sullen face.

Hong Mei, Zhang Qi, Li Meng, Miao Chao, Zhou Tianming and others stood next to He Xun, none of them with pleasant expressions.

They all suffered great losses at Ye Chen’s hands.

Now seeing Ye Chen so highly regarded, they were naturally frustrated.

“Hmph, even if you have strong Pupil Technique Divine Techniques and are destined to enter the Inner Sea, I won’t let you have an easy time in this assessment!” He Xun shouted coldly.

Hong Mei stared at Ye Chen and said, “I lost to you last time, but I’m not convinced. During the assessment, I will definitely defeat you and return all the humiliation you inflicted upon me!”

Ye Chen glanced at He Xun and the others, then withdrew his gaze, too lazy to bother.

At this moment.

A few figures flew in from a distance.

Upon arriving in the Martial Arts Arena, they divided into three groups.

One group was led by Liu Mubai, including Envoy Ouyang who Hong Mei had sought help from during the divine stone appraisal bet.

Another group comprised mostly of burly individuals; Ye Chen recognized two of them, one was Wu Meng, a friend of Fang Cun, and the other was Hu Fei, who had previously troubled him.

As for the unfamiliar group, they were clearly from the Spirit Alliance.

“Ye Chen, our Spirit Alliance thinks very highly of you. With your skills, passing the assessment is almost assured. We hope you’ll choose the Spirit Alliance at that time. I can guarantee that the Spirit Alliance will offer you the best treatment.”

The chief envoy of the Spirit Alliance, Lin Yi, was the first to express his stance.

Liu Mubai, the chief envoy of the Martial Alliance, smiled and said, “Lin Yi, don’t boast too much. If you are sincere, why not give him some divine sense now?”

Lin Yi replied, “Divine sense is not given casually, but I can guarantee that once Ye Chen joins the Spirit Alliance, if he needs anything, the Spirit Alliance will try their best to meet his requirements.”

“Petty,” snorted Lu Li from the Body Alliance, and he directly flicked a jade bottle towards Ye Chen, saying, “Three drops of fifty percent purity Divine Blood as a meeting gift. Even if you don’t choose the Body Alliance, it doesn’t matter; I greatly admire you!”

“The Body Alliance is generous,” Liu Mubai chuckled.

Many present had flickering gazes.

Lu Li from the Body Alliance is so adept at winning people over?

Many couldn’t help but look at Liu Mubai, thinking this was something Liu Mubai had taught Lu Li.

Rumors had it that Liu Mubai intended to help the Body Alliance recruit Ye Chen for personal gain… now it seems to be true.

Ye Chen accepted the three drops of Divine Blood.

Since it was given, he might as well take it for free.

Although the efficacy of Divine Blood diminishes with frequent use, he had only used one drop of sixty percent purity Divine Blood so far, so using fifty percent purity Divine Blood still yields good effects.

“Thank you, Elder Lu.”

Lu Li nodded and said, “If you join the Body Alliance, you needn’t worry about things like Divine Blood.”

Lin Yi from the Spirit Alliance sneered, “Lu Li, don’t make empty promises here. Divine Blood from the Body Alliance isn’t yours to give. If I’m not mistaken, the three drops of Divine Blood you just offered must have been accumulated by you over many years.”

Lu Li glared at Lin Yi, saying, “Mind your own business! Speak any further and I’ll beat you!”

Liu Mubai fanned the flames on the side, “The Spirit Alliance people are as annoying as ever. Lu Li, if you want to make a move, count me in, hahaha!”

Lin Yi’s face turned livid.

Liu Mubai, the troublemaker, always targeting him…

Seeing no brawl ensuing, Liu Mubai felt bored, “Alright, let’s not waste time, announce the assessment rules.”

Lin Yi snorted and said, “This assessment will be held on an uninhabited island for three days. On the island, there are three restrictions, each containing a Token from the Spirit Alliance, Body Alliance, and Martial Alliance.

If you can’t last three days on the island, you will be eliminated.

If you last three days but can’t acquire a Token, you will be eliminated.

Only after holding a Token and leaving the island after three days will you pass the assessment.

According to past rules, no one may interfere during the assessment.

Therefore, the assessment involves life and death; anyone who wishes to quit may do so now, but those who stay must accept the risk.”

After explaining the rules, Lin Yi looked at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, each assessment our Spirit Alliance has a special recruitment slot; I can offer you this slot, allowing you to join the Spirit Alliance without facing any risk.”

Liu Mubai immediately followed up, “We have special recruitment slots at the Martial Alliance and Body Alliance too, but those recruited specially must undergo additional tests after entering the Inner Sea, as per the Inner Sea’s continuous rules.”

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.

He understood the hint from Uncle Liu Mubai.

The Inner Sea has rules that cannot be broken!

Special recruitment can avoid this assessment.

But there will be another assessment later, quite troublesome.

Also.

This assessment is an opportunity.

Whoever wants to kill him.

He’ll kill them!

Having been in the Outer Sea for a while, he’s been too low-key; despite a few fights, they felt like child’s play, truly dull.

“Thank you, Chief Envoy Lin, but I’ve decided to participate in this assessment.”

Lin Yi acknowledged with a hum, not saying anything further.

After a brief wait with no one opting out, Lin Yi said, “Since you’ve all thought it through, let’s set off!”

The envoys from the Three Alliances of the Inner Sea, accompanied by all the participants, left Island No.1, heading towards the uninhabited island for the assessment.

A golden Buddha light quietly flashed across the sky of Island No.1, disappearing into the void.

In the dark void.

The golden Buddha light shone brightly.

Battling Monk clutched the large Buddhist Beads around his neck, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared in the void, meeting with Battling Monk.

“Master of Wine, everything is ready, our people can leave the Inner Sea for the Eastern Region at any time.”

Battling Monk shook his head, saying, “The plan has changed, immediately notify everyone on the seventy-two islands to stay in the Inner Sea.”

They had followed Yun Ying’s orders, originally preparing to head to the Eastern Region to protect Ye Chen.

But now…

Ye Chen has arrived at the Celestial Burial Sea!

Battling Monk instructed the middle-aged man, then rapidly returned to the Inner Sea.

This news had to be conveyed to Yun Ying immediately!
