"Sister Fu has lost. Brother Ye is the last one."

Seeing that their clothes were severely damaged, and that they had stabbed their coiling dragon swords into the martial arena to support their weak bodies, the Martial House disciples revealed expressions of reverence.

"We won. Morning Wind really did defeat senior sister Fu."

With that, the three of them left the competition grounds and returned to their own residences under the gazes of reverence.

Returning to the small courtyard that was built at the edge of the cliff, Ye Zichen immediately activated the rune restrictions, which enveloped the entire courtyard. He took out two mid-grade soul crystals and held them in his hands, then channeled the Soul Devouring Secret Art to absorb the soul power in order to heal his injuries.

Ye Chenfeng was heavily injured in the battle with Fu Youyue, but he also had a lot of insights. While he was healing, he continued to combine his combat insights to deepen his understanding of the sword force.

Roughly a day later, Ye Chenfeng had basically recovered from his injuries. He used the strong comprehension of the God Devouring Brain to merge the battle experience into the sword aura, and captured a trace of the third sky sword aura's domain.

However, every increase in the level of the sword energy was a qualitative leap. It would not be realistic for Ye Zichen to comprehend the third sky of the sword energy in a short period of time.

"Soul Concentrating Pill is the best out of all the spirit rank soul pills. It is made from 100 different types of spiritual herbs. After consuming it, a large amount of soul power will be generated within the body. The pill's poison is extremely rare …"

Ye Zichen controlled his mind to scan the bottle. There were three pill patterns on the surface, which were completely green and exuded a faint fragrance. The name, grade and effects of the pill immediately appeared in his mind.

After knowing the effects of the Three Transformations Soul Pill, Ye Zichen swallowed it without any hesitation, then quickly circulated the Soul Devouring Technique to absorb the powerful medicinal effects of the Three Transformations Soul Pill and charged towards the Rank 4 Earth Beast General stage.

When the Three Transformations Soul Pill completely melted, waves of energy were released into Ye Chen's body like a tidal wave. However, the energy contained within the Three Transformations Soul Pill was not berserk, so Ye Chenfeng did not feel much pain.

The gentle energy continued to circulate around Ye Chenfeng's meridians, fusing into his meridians, flesh, and blood, raising his soul power.

Ye Chenfeng had obtained a Spirit Level Soul Pill from killing You Mingdao earlier. With the help of the pill, he was already at the peak of the third rank as a Earth Beast General.

Now that he had consumed an even stronger Three Transformations Soul Pill, the soul energy within his body had become even more vigorous, and the bottleneck within his cultivation realm had begun to loosen up.

If it wasn't for Ye Zichen's continuous suppression of his realm, he would have already broken through to the fourth level Earth Beast General.

Roughly a day later, Ye Chenfeng's soul power was finally overflowing, the vigorous soul power directly broke through the bottleneck, and successfully broke through to the next stage.

"Rank 4 Earth Beast General."

Feeling the change in his cultivation, Ye Chen opened his eyes and revealed a faint smile.

After breaking through to the next stage, Ye Zichen could feel that he still had a third of the power of the Rank three Soul Concentrating Pill left in his body. However, this breakthrough was the result of overflowing soul power, so he did not need to consolidate his cultivation.

"Merging meridians."

Ye Zichen circulated his six meridians' astral energy, and slowly absorbed the remaining power of the Three Revolving Soul Pill in his body into his tendons, before starting to cultivate to the fourth level of the Divine Wind realm.

However, the Muscle Meridian Refinement Realm was even more difficult to cultivate than the Viscera Refinement Realm and required even more energy. The medicinal effects of the Three Reincarnation Soul Pill that had been absorbed into Ye Zichen's meridians did not seem to have changed at all.

"Sigh, it seems like if I want to cultivate my Qi Refining stage to the Mastery Stage, I'll have to think of another way."

Ye Zichen let out a soft sigh, then gave up on the idea of cultivating to the Initial Stage. He took out the sword technique that Xue Piao had left for him and continued to read it.

Just as Ye Zichen hid in the courtyard and meticulously comprehended the sword force hand scroll, an unexpected person suddenly appeared and paid him a visit.

"Sister Fu, is there something you need me for?"

Ye Zichen looked at Fu Youyue, who wore a long black dress, had a tall figure, a unique temperament, and a cold expression without any expression on her face, and asked softly.

Judging from the aura that was inadvertently being emitted from Fu Youyue's body, she had also broken through and reached the fifth rank Earth Beast General.

"I'm looking for a match with you."

Fu Youyue looked at Ye Zichen's face, which was clearly defined and pleasant to look at, then slightly opened her rosy lips as she spoke those words in a golden tone.

"Alright, let's go to the Soul Dueling Arena."

Ye Chenfeng had reaped a lot from his battle with Fu Youyue, so he did not refuse her challenge and had instead entered the Soul Dueling Arena with her.

Very quickly, the news of their match in the Soul Dueling Arena spread throughout the entire Skyfire Martial House. A large number of disciples rushed into the Soul Dueling Arena to observe the match.

Ye Chenfeng's power had increased by a lot after breaking through to the next realm. However, after his fight with Fu Youyue, he discovered that her strength had also improved by leaps and bounds.

However, in this battle, the two of them were only trying to comprehend their Concepts. They had no intention of determining the victor and competing with each other. Thus, although the battle between the two of them seemed fierce, there was no danger.

About three hours later, the two men, exhausted and on the verge of collapse, stopped at the same time as if they had reached a tacit understanding. They left the fragmented Soul Dueling Arena and returned to their respective courtyards to organize their comprehensions.

Time passed day by day. Ye Chenfeng and Fu Youyue exchanged blows once every ten days or so, while their comprehension towards sword and sabre also continued to deepen as they exchanged blows.

"Ye Chenfeng, take this."

Fu You Yue, who wore a tight black dress and looked like a dark elf, shouted. A wave of blade force that would cause people's breathing to stop surged out and fused into the Blood Moon Saber.

"Chi!"

The sword light Ye Zichen sent out was shattered by Fu Youyue's blade. The powerful blade light fiercely slashed down on the coiling dragon sword, causing Ye Chenfeng's aura to roil and his body to retreat. A stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"Second Sky of Saber Force." Feeling the destructive force from Fu Youyue's slash, Ye Zichen's expression changed slightly as he exclaimed.

"Surprised?" Fu You Yue's rosy lips curved up slightly. With a rarely seen dazzling smile on her ice-cold and exceptionally beautiful face, she said, "You are not the only one who has comprehended the second level Concept of the Earth Beast's General Realm."

With that, Fu Youyue, who was in a good mood, leaped off the cracked martial arena and disappeared from Ye Zichen's line of sight.
