Chapter 1378: That Masochist on the First Floor

In Wumeng Royal City, no one had reached the Divine Lord realm in a hundred thousand years.

Qin Tian was the one most favored by expectations.

“No wonder even the proud Qin Shao treats this elder brother with such respect!”

In Ye Yuan's impression, Qin Shao was a man of pride.

Such a person, even if that man were his elder brother, would never act so humbly.

It turned out that Qin Tian held such a high position in Wumeng Royal City.

“What, you met Qin Tian? Tell me quickly, he's my idol!” Xie Jingyi said excitedly.

Qin Tian was not only Xie Jingyi's idol but also the idol of countless young talents in Wumeng Royal City!

Ye Yuan sneered, "I did see him, but the meeting was far from pleasant."

Xie Jingyi's expression changed. "Don't tell me you've provoked Qin Tian?"

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "I didn't provoke him; he provoked me."

He recounted the details of his meeting with Qin Tian that day and the incident of slapping Qin Peiyu earlier. Xie Jingyi's face grew increasingly grim.

He sighed deeply. "You're too impulsive! I know that girl—she's Qin Tian's own sister. No one in Wumeng Royal City dares to cross her. Why did you have to provoke her?"

Ye Yuan sneered, "What, regretting standing with me now? It's not too late to cut ties."

Hearing this, Xie Jingyi jumped up and shouted, "Ye Yuan, what do you take me for? I, Xie Jingyi, know how to repay kindness! You're my brother; your enemies are my enemies! From today on, I, Xie Jingyi, will be irreconcilable with the Qin family!"

Ye Yuan glanced at him and chuckled, "Just joking. Why so worked up? It hasn't come to a point of no return yet."

Seeing Ye Yuan like this, Xie Jingyi's expression softened a bit. He said with displeasure, "I may be a bit reckless, but I never joke about such things!"

Ye Yuan laughed. "Haha, I know, I was wrong, okay? But you need to step up your training too. Jia Chong is not someone to mess with. If you don't have some skill, he'll make your life miserable later!"

Once this "joke" was made, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

They chatted for a while longer, then Xie Jingyi took her leave.

"Was that intentional?" As soon as Xie Jingyi left, Wu Chen's voice sounded.

"Yeah, I know too little about him; we don't have a life-and-death bond. Keeping someone like that close is like planting a time bomb," Ye Yuan admitted frankly.

Although he had helped Xie Jingyi, their friendship was very shallow.

During the assessment, he had only found the little fatty interesting and kind-faced, so he lent a hand.

As for any deep bond, Ye Yuan didn't feel there was any.

Ji Canglan's betrayal in his previous life made Ye Yuan extremely cautious when making friends.

Only with someone like Luo Jian, who shared a life-and-death bond with him, would Ye Yuan open his heart.

Since Xie Jingyi had expressed goodwill toward the Qin family, Ye Yuan naturally dared not keep a time bomb by his side.

"Mm, you know a person's face but not their heart! You did nothing wrong," Wu Chen said.

...

Half a month later, Ye Yuan appeared again at the Sword Grave.

To his surprise, Qin Shao had come as well.

Ye Yuan glanced at him coldly and walked straight into the Sword Grave.

Qin Tian's attitude had already decided that he and Qin Shao could only be enemies.

On the first level of the Sword Grave, Ye Yuan continued his self-torturing training.

Qin Shao frowned slightly, watched for a while, then leaped in as well.

This time, Qin Shao's strength was clearly more than a notch above the last!

Facing the omnipresent laws of the sword, Qin Shao handled them with much greater ease.

He easily endured the thirty days.

In contrast, Ye Yuan was once again battered and bruised by the laws of the sword.

When Ye Yuan returned this time, the chubby Xie Jingyi indeed did not come to see him.

To this, Ye Yuan merely laughed it off.

From then on, there was one more masochist in the first level of the Sword Grave.

Every time he came out of the Sword Grave, he was drenched in blood.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

On this day, a major event occurred in the Sword Grave!

Senior Brother Qin Tian has broken through the eleventh level! My god, how long has it been since someone from Wu Meng Academy cleared the eleventh level?

The last one to clear the eleventh level was Senior Zhuang Hao, right? Hey, he was the last powerhouse to break through to the Divine Lord realm!

It seems that Senior Brother Qin Tian breaking through to the Divine Lord realm is a foregone conclusion!

Indeed, everything that has happened over the years points to him stepping into the Divine Lord realm!

...

At this moment, the hall outside the Sword Grave was packed with people.

From the light screen in the hall, they could see everything happening in the Sword Grave.

Ye Yuan had no proper understanding of the eleventh level of the Sword Grave; those who could reach it were all geniuses among geniuses!

After Qin Tian, there was a large group of people on the tenth level.

But on the eleventh level, there were only three people!

Now, Qin Tian had cleared the eleventh level and entered the twelfth, leaving the others far behind!

More importantly, no one had cleared the eleventh level in a hundred thousand years!

Zhuang Hao's final result was the thirteenth level, and Qin Tian was already close to that level.

At this moment, Qin Tian became a god in everyone's eyes!

Hey, Zhao Qin, who is that kid? He looks so miserable!

Suddenly, someone noticed Ye Yuan being tormented on the first level and asked Zhao Qin about him.

Zhao Qin glanced over, saw it was Ye Yuan, and sneered disdainfully, "Him? Just a fool! He's been stuck on the first level for a year, getting tortured every time without any progress. Qin Shao, the top scorer of his cohort who entered with him, advanced to the second level half a year ago."

Oh my, that's just too pathetic! With so many sword wounds on him, it's a wonder he's still alive. That's a skill in itself," the person said.

Zhao Qin laughed, "Haha, you said it! I suspect he's practicing the art of being tortured. It's not easy to kill this guy!"

Zhao Qin's words drew a roar of laughter from the crowd.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Hey, look, what is that kid doing?"

Everyone looked and saw Ye Yuan sitting down, casually pulling out a sword, muttering something to himself.

This scene silenced everyone in the hall, their eyes filled with disbelief.

H... how did he do that?

W... why didn't those swords react?

Am I seeing things? Someone actually moved a sword and stood there unscathed?

...

On the first level of the Sword Grave, Ye Yuan gently stroked the blade and sighed, "I know you all are unwilling, which is why you buried your swords here. Rest assured, I, Ye Yuan, will carry your will and aim for the Great Dao!"
