"But you don't have to worry too much. Only you and I know about this. If I don't tell you about it, he won't know about the [Three Yang Tempering Spirit Stone] in your hands."
Chen Yi shook his head and said, "You don't need to hide it. As you said, not only is his understanding of Sword Force not weaker than yours, he also has a special bloodline. You are definitely not this guy's match. It's not good for you to take it head on."
"As for me, I'm not afraid."
Chen Zishi smiled faintly and did not reply. Anyway, he did not intend to reveal Chen Yi. At the beginning, he did have the thought of leaving the trouble to Chen Yi, but after a few days of contact, the two of them had already become friends. Thus, he was unwilling to do so.
Furthermore, Chen Yi already had such cultivation at such a young age, and he had comprehended Sword Force, Sword Heart and even awakened a special bloodline.
Soon, Chen Yi and Chen Zishi arrived in front of the six Xiantian deacons and jumped off the white crane.
At this time, more than ten Heavenly Pride had already gathered here.
Chen Bojiao, Chen Yuyu, Chen Haoyan, Chen Feiming and Chen Haobo were among them. There were also some other Heavenly Pride that Chen Yi had never seen before, but they were not to be trifled with.
Chen Boxue looked miserable. Although Chen Yuyu and Chen Haobo weren't in such a miserable state, they were still in a sorry state.
Chen Haoyan and Chen Feiming were clean.
When the two of them saw Chen Yi, their faces turned ugly. This reminded them of the incident a few days ago when they were enveloped by that stinky smell.
That feeling of being thrown into a fecal drain and having to suck in feces made the two of them feel nauseous just thinking about it.
Chen Yi turned a blind eye to the two people's vicious gazes. Before his strength had improved, he could drag things out. Even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't lose. Or rather, he could easily escape.
Now that his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, he was confident that he could defeat the two of them in a short period of time even if he had to drag things out by himself.
Honestly speaking, with so many Heavenly Pride present, Chen Yi didn't think that anyone could beat him. It wasn't that Chen Yi was arrogant, it was a type of confidence.
He had sword aura, and his level of comprehension was not low.
The quality of Genuine Qi had already evolved into upper rank, and it was still top rank.
In terms of cultivation level, he had already reached the pinnacle of eight meridians, and wasn't any weaker than the other Heavenly Pride. The difference between the peak of eight meridians and the perfect eight meridians was just too small. At most, it would be ten to one.
In terms of special bloodlines, he had one as well. Out of the nearly two hundred Heavenly Pride who participated in the third round of examination, only he, Chen Yuanbiao, Chen Haoyan, and Chen Yuanzhuo knew of those who had truly awakened a special bloodline.
There might be others, but the total number would never exceed ten, and he still had a huge advantage in this area.
Speaking of Bloodline Magical Power, he was probably the only one with a top-notch Human Level Superior Grade.
All of these were enough to cause Chen Yi's heaven defying overall strength.
Moreover, Chen Yi had already comprehended Sword Heart. With so many Heavenly Pride, Chen Yi reckoned that only he and Chen Zishi had comprehended it. Even if there were others, there would be at most one or two.
Sword Heart s were even harder to comprehend than sword energy.
It was hard for Chen Yi to imagine that among the warriors at the same level, there were some that were stronger than him.
After the two of them arrived, Chen Yanming swept his gaze over Chen Yi and thought to himself, "He survived in the end huh? It seems like Master Chen Yu has good taste."
"However, being able to survive does not mean that his performance is outstanding. It's better to keep watching."
"If he isn't outstanding enough, I should advise Master Chen Yu to no longer protect his Yongde Town."
"Liu Tie's family is powerful, if Master Chen Yu is still determined to become the enemy of Chen Yanbinn's family, I'm afraid that in the future …" Chen Yanming furrowed his brows as he thought of this.
When Chen Kaiqiang saw Chen Yi's appearance, his pupils constricted and a sense of unease arose in his heart.
Although he didn't want to kill Chen Yi, he hoped that his nephew would eliminate Chen Yi. The so-called elimination meant to completely cripple Chen Yi. Without harming Chen Yi's life, Chen Yi would lose all his martial arts cultivation.
But now, if Chen Yi was doing well, then what about his nephew?
"It can't be …" "Could it be …" Chen Kaiqiang felt uneasy. If something happened to his nephew, how could he face his big brother?
Chen Kaiqiang only hopes that his nephew can return safely.
The cranes had all returned. Some brought back their Heavenly Pride, while others did not.
Everyone knew what would happen if they didn't bring back the Heavenly Pride.
Chen Yi stared closely at the white crane in the sky, hoping to see Chen Hongfei. Unfortunately, up until now, he hadn't seen Chen Hongfei.
However, it wasn't as if there were no acquaintances. He saw Chen Yumei who had passed the second round of the examination with him.
Among the Heavenly Pride s in the third round, there were not many females in the competition. Amongst these females, Chen Yumei was considered one of the few experts.
Chen Yi could see that Chen Yumei had advanced to the eighth meridian.
Amongst all these Heavenly Pride, the majority of them were eight meridians, and only a very small portion of them were seven meridians. Most of them had luckily managed to advance to the bottom level of these Heavenly Pride s in the second round of examinations.
However, Chen Yumei was an illusion martial artist, so her cultivation wasn't that important.
In terms of close combat strength, Chen Yumei's strength was low, but once she used her illusion techniques, other than the Heavenly Pride who had comprehended Sword Force, no one else from the Heavenly Pride could withstand her.
It was said that illusion techniques were very effective against Demonic Beast. Unless one had a particularly strong spirit, many normal Demonic Beast would be able to resist illusion techniques from illusion martial artists.
Chen Yi reckoned that if he did not use his illusion technique, Chen Yumei would not be able to take a casual attack from a low level third stage Demonic Beast.
But if she used her illusion techniques, these low rank third stage Shiwu Beast would not be able to take it at all. She reckoned that Chen Yumei was even safer than many of the Heavenly Pride that had comprehended the sword force, and would probably reap a lot of rewards.
If she could enter the clan to cultivate, with their vast resources and knowledge, Chen Yumei would definitely be able to cultivate even more powerful illusions. By then, even those who didn't have a high level of comprehension of sword energy would not be able to withstand Chen Yumei's illusions.
"Congratulations." Chen Yi said.
Seeing Chen Yi, a familiar face, a rare smile appeared on Chen Yumei's face. "I just came out alive, that's all. I might not be able to advance."
Chen Yi laughed, "With your ability, your gains will not be small."
Chen Yi was a little surprised, there were a total of twelve examination grounds in the second round of examination. In the examination grounds of Yangyun, half of them actually survived.
According to Chen Hongfei, a large number of Heavenly Pride would fall in the third round of the examination, with an average of twelve examination grounds. Among the more than ten Heavenly Pride that were promoted in each examination hall, four or four would be considered good if they were able to survive.
Right now, just from the examination hall of Yangyun in Yangyun alone, seven Heavenly Pride had survived.
Chen Zishi walked over, "Chen Yi, this is..."
When Chen Yumei saw the stranger, the smile she had managed to muster disappeared quickly and her usual aloof attitude returned.
Chen Yi introduced Chen Zishi and Chen Yumei to each other. When Chen Yumei heard that Chen Zishi had comprehended both Sword Heart and sword force, the corner of her mouth slightly twitched.
Chen Zishi was also surprised when he found out that Chen Yumei was an illusion martial artist. This kind of martial artist was not to be trifled with.
Even if Chen Yumei was restrained by him now, he would still be in danger if Chen Yumei was able to control the lower leveled Demonic Beast to attack him.
For an illusion martial artist, if they fought face to face they would indeed be restrained by the sword force. But who said that an illusion martial artist would have to face with someone who had comprehended sword energy?
Moreover, Yuele City has an even more profound illusion technique. After learning this secret technique, even a genius who has comprehended Sword Force might not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, Chen Zishi didn't underestimate Chen Yumei. Instead, he looked at Chen Yumei with a serious expression and nodded.
"Where's Chen Hongfei?" Chen Yumei didn't see Chen Hongfei, so she looked towards Chen Yi.
Chen Yi shook his head: "I haven't seen him, and I don't know …"
"So it's like that …" Chen Yumei frowned slightly. After all, they were companions who had passed the second round of examination together. Naturally, Chen Yumei would have some concern for Chen Hongfei.
As for Chen Boxue, since she had already seen him, she naturally wouldn't ask anymore.
At this time, another familiar person on a white crane flew over. It was Chen Jiayuv. Chen Jiayuv was holding a bone ash urns in his hands.
It was the ashes of Chen Jiayuv's younger brother, Chen Jiaping.
Chen Yi sighed and told Chen Yumei about Chen Jiayuv and his brother.
Chen Yumei also sighed on the inside. The third round of the examination was simply too tragic, who knew how many Heavenly Pride would fall here.
