The Dragon Blood Lake shook violently. Waves surged to the sky as the lake water boiled and covered heaven and earth.
In the middle of the lake, Ye Chu’s aura was astonishing. Around his figure, countless stars appeared in profusion. The stars circled Ye Chu as if forming a starry sky. The starry sky shifted and transformed into a nebula that blocked in front of Ye Chu.
Tan Chen’s mountain conceptual realm and the Small Sword King’s leopard conceptual realm shattered Ye Chu’s sword intent. They crashed straight onto the brilliant nebula that Ye Chu had manifested around him. The three conceptual realms collided and swept in all directions. The lake water churned even more wildly.
A chosen one’s mountain conceptual realm combined with a talent’s leopard conceptual realm was firmly blocked by the nebula. It failed to shake Ye Chu’s body at all. Ye Chu stood proudly. His body shone with dazzling light. His conceptual realm was astonishing as it soared straight into the heavens.
Ye Chu stood there and drew the sideways glances of everyone present. Ye Jingyun covered her cherry red little mouth. Her eyes showed an expression of disbelief. Her mouth opened slightly and her breathing stopped for a moment.
The Heavenly Feather Prince was absorbing dragon blood nearby. At this moment his body suddenly tensed. His gaze shot towards Ye Chu with a shocked expression.
“Two conceptual realms!”
The shock in his heart could be imagined. With Ye Chu’s strength that had not yet reached the Profound Life realm, he had now comprehended two conceptual realms. This was simply extraordinary.
He possessed supreme bloodline. His true transformation only occurred after reaching the Profound Life realm. Only then did he comprehend true intent, and merely one of them. Yet the opponent, while still in the Origin Spirit realm, had not only comprehended true intent but two of them.
The Heavenly Feather Prince’s pupils contracted. He stared at Ye Chu with burning eyes. Ye Chu’s current performance surprised him too much. Comprehending two true intents at this stage, did that mean when he transformed at the Profound Life realm he could comprehend three true intents?
Comprehending each true intent was extremely difficult. He knew this from deep experience. His own realm far exceeded Ye Chu’s and his strength was extraordinary. Even with the advantage of his supreme bloodline, he had only comprehended three.
Although more conceptual realms were not necessarily better, being able to comprehend more proved that the person’s comprehension ability was extraordinary.
Tan Chen’s mountain true intent was blocked. He did not continue to attack. He looked at Ye Chu with equal unrest. He gazed at the nebula circling in front of Ye Chu with a complex expression.
The nebula was vast and boundless, as if it could embrace heaven and earth. Looking up at it on a night sky could give people endless thoughts. It was ethereal and mysterious.
For Ye Chu to comprehend such a true intent meant his heart must also be broad and boundless. He possessed an ethereal and mysterious quality that ordinary people lacked. The fact that the nebula could block his mountain collision was enough to prove the strength of this true intent.
Tan Chen believed his own mountain true intent was strong enough to make countless people in the world look up to it and feel awe. Yet looking at the brilliant starry nebula around Ye Chu, he did not dare claim he could steadily defeat Ye Chu’s nebula true intent.
The crowd did not understand true intent as well as Tan Chen and the others. But seeing Ye Chu’s conceptual realm block both the Small Sword King and Tan Chen, they all cried out in surprise.
Yang Hui and Yang Ning saw this and their faces filled with extreme joy. They felt grateful towards Ye Chu. Although Ye Chu occasionally teased them with his mouth, he truly took good care of them. Naturally they hoped Ye Chu was extraordinary, even surpassing the chosen ones.
“Thank you, Brother Tan!” Ye Chu laughed heartily. His voice was bold and unrestrained. He stood with hands behind his back in the lake water, showing a casual and elegant manner. At this moment he fully displayed his bearing and was not inferior to Tan Chen.
Ye Chu felt the transformation of the conceptual realm within his body. The conceptual realm seemed to have life. It had become several times stronger. Two true intents, one sharp and cold sword intent and one vast nebula, intertwined and merged into his conceptual patterns. This made Ye Chu’s conceptual patterns even more vivid and lifelike.
Ye Chu truly felt grateful to Tan Chen. If not for the pressure Tan Chen gave him, which allowed him to leap forward and comprehend the starry sky through his heaven and earth phenomenon conceptual realm, he would have found it difficult to achieve such a transformation.
“Brother Ye does not need to thank me! Last time at the mountain peak I did not go all out. How about we try again now?” Tan Chen laughed loudly. His conceptual realm vibrated forth once more. The mountain moved with an extraordinary momentum.
“Since Brother Tan wants to give guidance, this little brother will naturally accept!” Ye Chu naturally would not show weakness. Having just comprehended true intent, he also wanted to see exactly how strong his true intent was. His gaze fell on the Small Sword King who was staring fixedly at him. He said casually, “You can continue to attack. However, defeating you within ten moves will be easy.”
“Arrogant!” The Small Sword King roared. He was furious to the extreme at Ye Chu’s contempt. He drove his conceptual realm. The leopard charged towards Ye Chu with a ferocious momentum that soared to the sky.
Ye Chu smiled. His conceptual realm vibrated and transformed into a long sword. The long sword sliced through the air. Wherever it passed it was as if a sharp edge tore paper, producing chi chi sounds.
“His conceptual realm is truly sharp beyond compare. It is as if it is an unrivalled blade.”
“Indeed extraordinary. The blood sword condensed from conceptual realm and lake water seems to have life. With its tremors, flowing light flies out.”
“Compared to before, his conceptual realm is much stronger. What kind of transformation did he just undergo?”
“…”
The crowd discussed animatedly. Yang Hui and Yang Ning’s eyes held heat and expectation. “Young master must win!”
One sword struck out and clashed with the leopard. Ye Chu’s sword intent severed one long leg of the leopard. Endless sharpness was displayed. It forced the surrounding lake water to churn and turn into flowing water that merged into the sword intent.
The Small Sword King saw that in one clash his true intent was damaged. His expression changed dramatically and his face showed horror.
“I do not believe it!” The Small Sword King was unwilling to admit defeat. He attacked with full force. His conceptual realm vibrated without any reservation. The ferocious and tyrannical conceptual realm transformed into a leopard. It condensed boundless lake water and pounced towards Ye Chu.
The crowd watched this scene and all held their breath. This was a rare opportunity. For cultivators, strength was easy to increase but conceptual realms were difficult to comprehend.
At this moment, talents clashing with conceptual realms could give them insights. It was not impossible to use this to comprehend their own true intent.
For the talents themselves, they did not have much interest in clashing with pure strength. Because this moment was not their peak. Every one of them would achieve no low accomplishments in the future.
Clashing with strength, even if one won, it was only a win at this moment. But victory or defeat in conceptual realms could represent the true victory or defeat in the future.
It was precisely because of this that many cultivators were willing to compete in conceptual realms rather than strength.
Ye Chu blocked the Small Sword King’s conceptual realm with his sword intent. The Small Sword King’s conceptual realm was indeed extraordinary, yet at this moment it could not shake him. Ye Chu had absolute confidence in defeating him within ten moves, but he did not do so.
His gaze turned to Tan Chen beside him. He shot sword intent towards him and attacked Tan Chen.
Tan Chen had originally planned to wait until Ye Chu dealt with the Small Sword King before making his move. He had his own pride and did not want to join forces with another to besiege Ye Chu. Since he had decided to truly compete with Ye Chu, the two of them should have a proper contest. He would not be like before and only apply pressure without using full strength.
But Tan Chen had not expected that Ye Chu would actively provoke him while still fighting the Small Sword King.
Tan Chen’s expression did not look good. What did Ye Chu mean by this? Did he want to fight the two of them alone? He was underestimating him too much!
The others were also in an uproar. One by one they stared blankly at Ye Chu.
Before him stood one chosen one and one renowned talent. He wanted to fight two by himself? He was too bold!
