Chapter 36: Ye Xuan Strengthens His Dao Heart! New Female Lead Bu Fengshuang Appears! (2/10)

Ye Xuan truly could not believe the scene before his eyes was real.

First, he had the support of a special flame; second, he had skyrocketed to the mid-stage of the fourth grade in a short time.

Third, he possessed a Earth-grade martial art; his momentum was so strong, and his sword shadows so numerous, that no fifth-grade physical body could withstand them.

Yet he never expected that this Xu Chen had truly forged a fifth-grade physical body.

That bastard now felt like a massive mountain, crushing him down hard.

It left him unable to catch his breath, let alone breathe properly.

Even worse, it was like a heart demon, constantly tormenting his mind.

He felt he was about to collapse.

At this moment, the Spirit Venerable scolded, "How can a strong person give up just because of a setback?"

Ye Xuan's face showed bitterness: "But I tried very hard, yet I still lost in the end."

The Spirit Venerable snorted coldly, "Every Wu Di who reached that realm relied not only on talent.

More importantly, it was effort, cultivation bordering on madness, day and night without cease.

If you think the ceiling of the martial way is only talent, then you are wrong."

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Is that true?"

The Spirit Venerable said calmly, "The pain I experienced was far greater than what you face now. I once lost both parents and had my meridians ruined. Do you understand?"

Ye Xuan's heart trembled; so his master had endured such hardships.

He had thought too little, always believing that cultivation required only effort and talent.

He never imagined it also required resilience, perseverance, and the ability to withstand all the sufferings of the world.

Those who give up halfway are unworthy of becoming an Emperor.

Thinking of this, hope and light reignited in Ye Xuan's eyes.

How can a martial artist speak of giving up so lightly?

He would definitely work hard to defeat Xu Chen.

With that thought, Ye Xuan took a deep breath and looked at Xu Chen, saying, "I lost, but only for now."

Xu Chen, standing nearby, was stunned; just moments ago his face had been twisted in rage, yet instantly it became calm?

It seems the protagonist is still the protagonist, blessed with heaven-defying luck and boundless fortune.

"That's good. I was truly afraid Ye Xuan's Dao heart would collapse and he would turn dark."

"If he turns dark, the plot might collapse completely, and I would be the one suffering!"

Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, feeling grateful.

With that thought, Xu Chen turned to Ye Xuan and sneered, "Losing yet remaining so calm; no wonder you are trash."

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth: "Xu Chen, one day, I will defeat you."

Having spoken, he voluntarily jumped down from the martial arena.

"The first match is won by the Body Dao Academy."

At this moment, the referee announced loudly.

"Great! My Chen-ge is truly amazing."

Upon hearing this, the many heroines immediately cheered with excitement.

Especially Li Ruoling and Shan Qianqian, who both smiled at the sight.

Over there, Ye Xuan saw this scene and once again couldn't help but grit his teeth.

The Dao heart is the Dao heart, but with Li Ruoling and Shan Qianqian completely devoted to Xu Chen, he truly could not bear it.

This bastard, couldn't he let just one of them come out?

That aside, all the others like Huo Ling'er, Jiang Hong, Jiang Lan, and Chi Lian were all damn fond of Xu Chen.

Damn it, is Xu Chen just being handsome that great a deal?

For a moment, as he looked at Xu Chen, his jealousy and anger rose again.

He touched his own face, compared it to Xu Chen's, and found that he truly was not handsome.

Xu Chen also glanced at Ye Xuan, a faint smile appearing on his face.

The original author described the protagonist's appearance as merely clean and refined, but this villain of his was truly handsome.

Having thought this, amidst the cheers, Xu Chen slowly walked down from the martial arena.

Seeing this, the Female Emperor Luo Shen and the Palace Master Shangguan Luoyun's cold gazes also gradually softened.

In this life, though for unknown reasons, Ye Xuan seemed to be constantly crushed by Xu Chen.

From Qingyang City to Jixia Academy, it had always been so.

Yet, strangely, these broken plots had not triggered the reincarnation.

They gradually began to realize: did it mean that as long as the protagonist kept following the main plot, it wouldn't count as broken?

Especially just now, they saw Ye Xuan's Dao heart grow stronger.

Chi Lian also realized this issue, immediately narrowing her eyes slightly: "Let's watch for now; it's quite interesting."

Anyway, since her Xu Chen wasn't being bullied right now, she wouldn't worry about so much.

After Xu Chen returned to his seat, the plot continued as before.

The Women's Academy, Sword Dao Academy, Spear Dao Academy, Blade Dao Academy, and other rising stars all took the stage one by one.

Each academy brought surprises and its own unique characteristics, drawing everyone's attention.

However, high-intensity battles like those between Ye Xuan and Xu Chen were no longer seen.

After all, with Xu Chen possessing a Fifth-Rank physical body and Ye Xuan wielding Earth-Grade martial arts, they were the only two among all the Jixia Academy freshmen.

Soon, every academy had fought their matches.

The one who won the academy championship was not Xu Chen, but a top-tier genius girl from the Array Academy, hailing from Tianxin City.

She was extremely beautiful, yet carried a sense of youthful innocence, clearly being sixteen and underage.

She wore yellow robes that clung to her graceful figure, highlighting her curves.

Most notably, she had twin tails behind her, the only one in the entire hall.

As she walked, it was as if lotuses bloomed with every step, with afterimages following her.

One after another, quite powerful arrays were casually set up by her.

Defensive arrays, offensive arrays, illusion arrays, poison arrays, and spirit-gathering arrays; she was proficient in all of them.

Xu Chen naturally recognized her immediately; this was the new heroine: Bu Fengshuang.

"When she fought me just now, she didn't say a single word to me; I suppose she hasn't broken character."

Xu Chen said with relief.

Look at those who broke character; the moment they met, they wanted to hold hands and take advantage, impossible to drive away.

This time, she finally wasn't clinging to him; he was deeply moved.
