第一百九十三章 实力上涨
时间一天天过去。
Days pa.s.sed with time.
第七天中午。
On the afternoon of the seventh day.
修炼室的门打开，叶尘从中走了出来。
The door of the training area opened and Ye Chen stepped out of it.
“原来修炼室并不能久呆，随着时间的推移，地煞真火的火气会让人产生焦躁感，继续修炼下去，很可能走火入魔，产生不可预料的后果，也罢，暂且休息一段时间，顺便把浮罗三玄诀和破虚指练上来。”对叶尘而言，浮罗三玄诀很重要，只有速度快了，以后遇到危险才有机会逃脱，不至于上天无路入地无门。
“No wonder you can’t really stay long in the training area, as time elapses, the evil fire would cause people to get an anxious feeling, where any continued training could, and would produce an unhealthy obsession, giving unforeseen consequences. Although it would be worth mentioning that this might be a good time for a short rest, for which I could then practice the Three Floating Nets technique and also Breaking Reality.” To Ye Chen, the Three Floating Nets technique is very important, because once the right amount of speed is acquired, he could then have the chance to escape when facing danger, unless there are routes in the sky or the earth.
“还是先去吃点东西再说。”吐出一口略带炽热的气息，叶尘推开大门，往院外走去，抱元境武者虽然可以长时间不吃不喝，但从修炼状态中退出来，无疑会很饿，叶尘也不例外。
“But I think I’ll grab something to eat first before anything else.” Spitting a slightly hot breath of Qi, Ye Chen opened the door and walked out the courtyard. Even though Clasping Yuan Realm users can go for a long time without food or water, but when it comes to training, there’s no question that they will be hungry afterwards, and Ye Chen is no exception.
“少侠，这是你同伴给你的纸条。”院子外，曾招待过叶尘和慕容倾城的侍者发现叶尘，连忙跑了过来，递给他一张纸条。
“Kid, this is a note your companion pa.s.sed to me.” Outside the courtyard, the represntative who was hospitable towards Ye Chen and MuRongDaoChen saw Ye Chen and quickly ran over to him, pa.s.sing him the note.
叶尘接过纸条打开一看——
Ye Chen opened up the note to take a look.
“叶兄，我还有事，先回飞天魔宗了，你自己小心一点，以后有缘再见。——慕容倾城！”
“Little Ye, I still have some business to take care of, I’m going back to the Flying Sky Devil martial school first, make sure you take care of yourself, goodbye.------MuRongDaoChen!
合起纸条，叶尘问道：“她什么时候离开的？”
After folding up the note, Ye Chen asked , “When did she leave?”
“四天前！”
“Four days ago!”
“麻烦你了，这是赏你的。”从储物灵戒中摸出十块下品灵石，叶尘随手扔给对方。
“This is to compensate for your troubles.” From his spirit ring storage Ye Chen took out ten pieces of low ranked spirit stones and gave it to the representative.
侍者收起下品灵石，暗道：真大方，一次就是十块下品灵石，够我修炼一个月了。
The representative kept the spirit stones and silently said, “Such generosity, one time and I get ten pieces of low ranked spirit stones, this should be enough for me to train a whole month.”
附近一家酒楼。
At a nearby restaurant.
叶尘坐在二楼靠窗的位置。
Ye Chen sat at the second floor which was near to the windows.
“原宗博的实力不容小觑，出城之前，修为必须达到抱元境初期巅峰，浮罗三玄诀也要练到第一层境界，再加上压箱底绝招炼心一剑，应该能和他抗衡一番，可惜破虚指第三式极为难练，若是领悟十之一二，把握就更大了。”按照叶尘的猜测，破虚指应该是天级指法，而且等阶不低，从那石柱般的手指一指点碎生死境实力的妖魔便可以看出。
“Yuan Zhong Bo’s strength should not be underestimated.Before walking out of this city, my spirit needs to be at Early Peak Clasping Yuan Realm level, and my Three floating Nets techinique has to be trained to another power level along with the YaXiangDi Heart Refining skill, which would allow me to possibly stand up to him. It is a shame that the third type of the Breaking Reality method is extremely difficult to practice, and if the chances of me comprehending it is around one to two in ten, then I would have a better chance.” According to Ye Chen’s surmise, the Breaking Reality method is a Heaven Realm martial art level, and the order of that is not low, from those stone pillars any Life and Death Realm level demon would be able to spot the broken parts.
很快，菜上齐了，还有一壶酒。
Very quickly, the food order came, along with a pot of wine.
顾不上斯文，叶尘狼吞虎咽起来。
Without a care for decency, Ye Chen gobbled it up.
“你们知道不知道，昨天，玄重山脉死了一位星极境强者。”隔壁第三张位置，几名抱元境武者坐在一起，相互间议论纷纷。
“Were any of you aware that yesterday, XuanZhongShan killed an Astral Reaching Realm user.” Beside the third seat, a few Clasping Yuan Realm users sat together, discussing about this matter amongst themselves.
“什么！一名星极境强者死了，杀他的人是谁？”
“What! An Astral Reaching Realm user died, who killed him?”
“是震山老人刁奎，死去的那人也不是无名之辈，外号邪刀，修为达到了星极境初期巅峰。”
“It was one of the Shock Mountain Old Men DiaoKui, and the one that died was also not a nameless one as well, he had the nickname Evil Knife, his power level reaching that of Early Peak Astral Reaching Realm already.”
“邪刀，原来是他，数十年前，他曾杀了震山老人徒弟全家，震山老人一直怀恨在心，想不到这次被他逮到了，对了，他们动用了几招，震山老人虽然是星极境中期武者，但邪刀实力同样很强，听说能抗衡普通的星极境中期强者。”
“Evil Knife, so it was him, decades ago, he killed the Old Man of the Mountain’s disciples, and he has held a grudge for that ever since, I didn’t think he would be caught this time, and yes, they only used a few strokes to kill him. The Old Men of the Shock Mountain may be Astral Reaching Realm users, but Evil Knife’s strength is on the same level, I heard that he could go toe to toe with a Mid Astral Reaching Realm user.”
“三招，震山老人仅仅三招就击杀了邪刀。”
“Three strokes, that’s all it took for the Old Men of the Shock Mountain to kill Evil Knife.”
“不太可能吧！难道邪刀没来得及燃烧真元？”
“That’s impossible! There’s no way that Evil Knife didn’t even manage to save himself?”
“哼哼，不燃烧真元的话，邪刀最多只能走过一招，当时震山老人可是发狠了，一上来，二话不说，直接燃烧真元，不给邪刀一点逃走的机会。”
“Hmmm, aside from saving himself or not, Evil Knife was only able to make one move at most, because at that moment the Old Mountain Men were possibly filled with a lot of anger, they came, no words spoken, and killed him, didn’t even give him a chance to escape.”
“死的也好，邪刀杀人无数，终究难逃一死。”
“It’s good that he’s dead, Evil Knife has killed countless people, and this time he’s tried to run it killed him.”
把几人的话听在耳中，叶尘暗道：震山老人看上去和和气气，还在慕容倾城面前打趣他，发起火来倒是挺猛的，三招就***了一名星极境初期巅峰武者，只怕天雷散人也不是他三招之敌。
After listening to the conversation, Ye Chen silently muttered, “The Mountain Shocking Old Men looked so easygoing, they even joked around with him in front of MuRongDaoChen, but it looks like they become very fierce when they’re fired up. Three moves and they f.u.c.k up an Early Peak Astral Reaching Realm user, it’s worrying if they might do the same three stroke attack on the Thunderer Freers.”
用过午餐，叶尘来到街道上。
After lunch, Ye Chen came to the street.
走着走着，他停了下来，冤家路窄，居然碰到了原宗博。
While walking, he suddenly stopped, he now faced his enemy in a narrow road, unexpectedly meeting Yuan Zhong Bo.
“嘿嘿，看样子你未曾修炼到抱元境初期巅峰，而且你那同伴也弃你而去了。”原宗博不怀好意的看着叶尘。
“Hey, looking at you it seems that you haven’t gotten your power level up to Early Peak Clasping Yuan Realm yet, and it seems your companion has also abandoned you as well.” Yuan Zhong Bo looked at Ye Chen with malicious intentions.
叶尘淡淡道：“眼下是杀我的最好机会，可惜这个机会并不在你手上。”
Ye Chen lightly replied, “Right now would be the best chance to kill me, but it’s a shame that this opportunity isn’t in your hands.”
“激将我没用，我不傻，星极境强者都不敢在武城杀人，我也不敢，可惜你不可能一辈子呆在武城。”
“Using reverse psychology on me won’t work, I’m not stupid, not even the Astral Reaching Realm users dare to kill someone in the martial city, and I don’t too, it’s a shame you can’t spend your entire life staying in the martial city.”
“那你慢慢等吧！说不定我会在武城呆上三五年。”叶尘冷笑，从对方旁边走过。
“Then you better wait! I could be here for the next three to five years.” laughed Ye Chen nervously and walked past.
原宗博脸色阴沉下来，在武城呆三五年，如果对方真的这么做，他的确一点办法都没有。
Yuan Zhong Bo’s face became gloomy, being in the martial city for three to five years, and if Ye Chen is able to do that, then he would certainly not be able to do anything.
“可恶，不要落在我手上，否则要你求生不能求死不行。”
“Abominable, you don’t want to fall by my hands, otherwise there wouldn’t be any other option.”
回到院子里，叶尘休息了一会儿，开始参悟浮罗三玄诀。
Going back to the courtyard, Ye Chen took a short rest before getting started on comprehending the Three Floating Nets technique.
又是七天过去。
And the seventh day has pa.s.sed.
小型练武场上。
On the small martial arts field.
“分！”
“Mark!”
嘴中低喝一声，叶尘的身体里掠出两道极为真实的真气残影，真气残影飞奔起来，一眨眼功夫就绕着练武场跑了一圈，旋即陡然出现在金属打造的练功桩前，一拳轰在上面。
He sounded a mark, Ye Chen’s body swept out two very real blurs out of Qi, these blurs out of Qi flew up, and in the blink of an eye they circled one round of the field, suddenly appearing in front of the metal pratice pile, a huge blow on top of it.
砰！砰！
Bang! Bang!
练功桩上多出两个拳印。
There were two more fists marks imprinted on the metal pile.
“快了，再过一段时间，浮罗三玄诀应该能达到第一层境界，到时分身化影轻功就是地级中阶品级。”眼下的分身化影轻功已然超越了原来的效果，丝毫不逊色最顶尖的地级低阶轻功，距离地级中阶轻功一步之遥。
“Soon, after a bit of time, my Three Floating Nets technique should reach another level of power, but until then this splitting my shadows is only going to be Earth Realm Middle Order grade.” At the moment his splitting into multiple shadows method has already exceeded the original results, and it is in no way inferior to the best of the Earth Realm Low Order method, but the distance to Earth Realm Middle Order is still very far.
真气残影融入到体内，叶尘站在原地闭起双目。
The blurs made of Qi were a.s.similated back into his body, Ye Chen then sat on the ground and closed his eyes.
良久。
A long time.
他睁开双眼，一股极为可怕的气机散发出来。
He opened his eyes quickly, a very terrifying being made of Qi came out.
右手食指伸出，隔空点在练功桩上。
From it’s right hand it pointed at the gap on top of the practice pile.
噗的一声！
Poof!
练功桩中央多出一道深深的指痕，指纹清晰可见。
In the middle of the practice pile came a set of very deep finger marks, the prints can be clearly seen.
见状，叶尘摇摇头，“还是不行，连十分之一都没有参悟到，破虚指第三式太难了，看来修为的确低了点，想要参悟天级指法不是一时半会能做到的，暂且还是不要浪费时间了。”
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head, “This is not right, there isn’t even a ten percent chance I comprehended it, the third type of the Breaking Reality method is just too hard, it looks like the power level has indeed been lowered, comprehending a Heaven Realm finger technique isn’t something that can just be done in a short time, but currently there is no time to waste.”
这段时间内，叶尘除了修炼浮罗三玄诀，同时还在修炼破虚指，打算看看能否做出突破，现在看来，破虚指的品级太高，把有限的时间浪费在上面殊为不智。
In this short span of time, Ye Chen not only practiced the Three Floating Nets technique, but at the same time he also practiced the Breaking Reality teachnique, determined to see if he could make a breakthrough. Looking at it right now, the Breaking Reality method is of a level that is too high, and spending time on it would be unwise.
时间如水流逝。
Time pa.s.sed quickly.
这一日。
This day.
叶尘在小型练武场上极快掠动，人至途中，身体微微一颤，两道真气残影飞掠而出，以匪夷所思的速度冲向练功桩。
Ye Chen swept across the small martials arts field very quickly, in the middle of it, his body started to slowly s.h.i.+ver, then two blurs made of Qi came out, heading towards the practice pile at incomprehensible speeds.
“碎！”
“Bang!”
真身和真气残影同时一拳轰出，猛烈地击中练功桩。
The real body and the shadow hit at the same time, violently smas.h.i.+ng the practice pile.
砰砰砰！
Bang Bang Bang!
三道沉闷的声音几乎同时响起。
Three dull sounds sounded almost instantaneously.
“退！”
“Back!”
一拳轰出，三道影子交错在一起，眼花缭乱的朝后退去，根本分不出哪个是真身，哪个是残影，比起以往，速度和效果不可同日而语。
A punch came through, three shadows staggered together, dazed they backed away, not knowing who is the shadow blur, and who is the real one, and compared to the previous one, the speed and results were not the same.
收起真气残影，叶尘脸上露出微笑，“浮罗三玄诀终于达到第一层境界了，现在的分身化影轻功比以往强了五成不止，已经可以和真气残影配合起来，联手攻击敌人。”
a.s.similating the shadows made of Qi, Ye Chen let out a smile, “The Floating Three Nets technique has finally gone up a power level, now the shadow created is five times stronger, which can be paired up with the blur made of Qi in order to attack the enemy.”
认真来说，分身化影轻功分化出来的真气残影以迷惑敌人为主，不具备多大的能力，但是达到地级中阶品级后，真气残影威力大增，遇到厉害的对手，完全可以让真气残影阻拦对方一霎那，仅仅一霎那便足以。
Seriously speaking, splitting the bodily shadow and producing the blur made of Qi will just confuse the enemy, which doesn’t really have much of a use, but once it has reached Earth Realm Mid Order, its attacking power is greatly increased. When a strong enemy is encountered, the blur made of Qi can quickly hold off the enemy, but just barely.
“体内地煞真火的火气差不多都消散了，争取这次突破到抱元境初期巅峰。”抱元境初期到抱元境初期巅峰是量的积累，如果有增加真气的丹药或者天材异宝，几天内就可以达到，可惜这类丹药和天材异宝不是普通人可以得到的，也只有那些七品宗门或者超级宗门有这个资源培养天才弟子，如慕容倾城当初就是靠着一枚火龙果把修为从抱元境中期提升到抱元境中期巅峰，据她所说，其它排名靠前的潜龙榜高手也是如此。
“The evil fire’s Qi in my body is almost used up already, I must take this chance to break through to Early Peak Clasping Yuan Realm.” Going from Early Clasping Yuan Realm to Early Peak Clasping Yuan Realm is an acc.u.mulation, if there was a Qi increasing pill or if you were a genius , it could be done within a few days, but unfortunately this kind of pill or the gift of genius isn’t something every normal person would get, and it is only the seven martial schools or super martial schools that have the resources to invest in these genius disciples. If MuFongdaoChen first relied on a Fire Dragon Fruit to increase her power level from Mid Clasping Yuan Realm to Mid Peak Clasping Yuan Realm, then according to her, the lists of Dragon masters are also the same.
没空羡慕七品宗门或者超级宗门的天才弟子，叶尘眼下唯有一步一步踏踏实实的修炼。
No room for envy towards the seven martial schools or the super martial schools’ genius desciples, Ye Chen’s only option at the moment is to continuously train step by step.
……
“什么，那小子又进去修炼了。”酒楼包间内，原宗博愤怒无比。
“What, that little brat went in again to train.” In a private room at the restaurant, Yuan Zhong Bo was furious without measure.
前来通知的青年道：“是的，我用你给的下品灵石买通了几个侍者，他们没看到对方出来过。”
The teenager who came earlier said, “Yes, I used the low ranked spirit stones that you gave me to hire a few representatives, they haven’t seen him exit the place.”
“继续保持监视，我就不相信他真能在武城呆上三五年。”原宗博现在真的担心叶尘死赖着武城不离开，以往不是没有这个先例，有不少人为了躲避仇家，硬是在武城呆了十年甚至二十年，直到他们的仇家被其他人杀了，才敢离开武城。
“Continue monitoring him, I don’t believe that he can actually stay in the martial city for three to five years.” Yuan Zhong Bo was really concerned that Ye Chen would not leave the martial city by any means necessary, but let it not be said that no one has done it before, it’s just there are few people who in order to avoid the enemy, would stay in the martial city for ten even twenty years, up until their enemy has been killed by other people, would they then leave.
……
这一次，叶尘整整在修炼室呆了半个月还未出来。
This time, Ye Chen spent the whole time in the training area for half a month not coming out.
半个月内他滴水未喝，全心全意投入到修炼中，用掉的下品灵石数以百计，精气神三丹也用掉了数十枚，若是普通抱元境初期武者这么做，走火入魔的几率很大，但叶尘的灵魂力极其强大，倒是能把时间延长到两倍以上，否则他不会如此莽撞。
In that half a month he did not drink a single drop of water, focusing all his heart and soul into training, using hundreds of low ranked spirit stones, dozens of spirit enhancing pills, if it was a normal Early Clasping Yuan Realm user how would it go, the chances of steering towards the dark side is very large. However, Ye Chen’s soul is very strong, he is able to increase the time spent by two times, otherwise he would not be this reckless.
院子外每天都有不同的侍者利用休息时间过来监视，让那名曾收到叶尘打赏的侍者心生疑惑，他在武城生活了这么多年，什么事没见过，不出意外的话，应该有人要对付叶尘。
Every day outside the courtyard there would be different representatives using their breaktimes to monitor Ye Chen, leading the representative whom Ye Chen rewarded to have his doubts. He has been living in the martial city for many years, and hasn’t not seen much, so aside from it being an accident, someone wants to deal with Ye Chen.
在那些侍者的监视下，叶尘终于再一次出关。
Under the monitor of the representatives, Ye Chen finally came out for once.
“地煞真火的火气太过奇妙了，长时间修炼，经脉一点事都没有，不过其中应该也有补精丹补气丹以及补神丹的作用。”武者平常修炼，最多修炼几个时辰就会停下来，原因是经脉承受不住真气频繁流动，容易造成伤害，但是在修炼室中，叶尘一般修炼半天才会暂停几个时辰，闭目养神，几个时辰过后，经脉恢复到正常状态，继续修炼。
“The evil fire’s intense heat/Qi is too wonderful, spending lots of time training, with no problems on the meridian although that might have been the doing of Qi replenis.h.i.+ng pill after Qi replenis.h.i.+ng pill after Qi replenis.h.i.+ng pill.” Martial artists normally train, and at the most they will train for a few hours before stopping, with the reason being that the meridian cannot handle the frequent flow of Qi, which can easily lead to injury. However, within the training area, Ye Chen trained for half a day non stop before stopping for a few hours, then closing his eyes to meditate. After that few hours, his meridian would go back to normal, and he would continue training.
重重吐出一口气息，叶尘打开门，自言自语道：“修为提升到抱元境初期巅峰了，短时间内，不可能有所突破。”
Heavily spitting out a breath, Ye Chen opened the door, saying to himself, “My power has increased to Early Peak Clasping Yuan Realm already, in a short time, there is no way I could have had a breakthrough.”
砰砰砰……
Knock Knock Knock….
院子外有敲门声响起。
Outside the courtyard there was a knocking sound.
叶尘右手虚拉，门栓被抽开，说道：“进来吧！”
Ye Chen opened the door with his right hand, the bolt on the door pumped open, saying, “Come in!”
吱嘎！
Creak!
院子门打开，是招待过他的侍者。
The courtyard’s door opened, it was the representative that took Ye Chen around.
“有什么事？”叶尘问道。
“What is it?”, asked Ye Chen.
“最近你还是不要离开武城，有人盯上你了，安排了不少侍者在附近监视。”
“for now do not leave the martial city, there’s someone who has the hit on you, making sure some of the representatives keep watch on you close by.”
叶尘淡淡一笑，“我知道，谢了。”
Ye Chen lauged, “I know, thanks.”
原宗博派人监视他，他早就知晓，现在他的修为和轻功都有了进步，未必会怕他。
Yuan Zhong Bo sent people to monitor him, he already knew, and now his power and force have already improved, which gives no reason to fear him.
“你知道，看来我多虑了。”侍者笑了笑。
“You knew, looks like I was overly concerned.” laughed the representative.
叶尘道：“你先走，不要给自己惹麻烦。”
“You go ahead, don’t get yourself into trouble.”, said Ye Chen.
“恩。”侍者过来通报是冒着大危险的，虽然他几年内不太可能离开武城，但有些事情无法意料。
“Yeah.” The representative coming to bear the news puts him in great danger, even though in these few years he hasn’t left the martial city, but there are certain things that might come unexpectedly.
第二天清晨。
The second morning.
叶尘关上院子门，准备退掉修炼室。
Ye Chen closed the doors of the courtyard, preparing to leave the training area.
