Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 667 - 619 Departure

Hearing Ye Chen’s confident words, Lin Xiaowan’s eyes sparkled brightly.

"Words alone are no proof. Ye Chen, you wouldn’t mind having a bout with me, would you?" Lin Xiaowan said to Ye Chen with a smile.

When Lin Xiaowan challenged him, Ye Chen had a thought stirring in his heart.

Lin Xiaowan always gave him a dangerous feeling.

Moreover, this woman was a martial artist from the Supreme Divine Institute, which meant she must be extraordinary. After his breakthrough, Ye Chen hadn’t had a real fight with a strong opponent yet, and Lin Xiaowan’s challenge could be a good match.

Ye Chen also wanted to try out his actual combat capabilities after his breakthrough to see if there was any difference from what he anticipated. He also wanted to see just how formidable a warrior from the Supreme Divine Institute who had overcome the Nine Tribulations truly was, to better gauge his chances in the upcoming assessments of the nine divine institutes.

"A duel? I had the same thought," Ye Chen said with a smile to Lin Xiaowan. "I have been keen to see the extent of a martial artist’s strength who has trained in the Supreme Divine Institute."

Hearing that Ye Chen was going to spar with Lin Xiaowan, the young man Zhao Luo felt an unexplainable excitement in his heart; these two individuals, far stronger than himself, would be participating in the Divine City Battle alongside him. Naturally, Zhao Luo wanted to know just how powerful these two companions of his were.

And City Lord Nie laughed, "If you two wish to spar, my City Lord’s Mansion happens to have a training ground that is perfect for duels. You can use that."

...

A short time later,

Ye Chen left the City Lord’s Mansion and flew back towards the Zhou Family’s territory in Fallen Moon City.

Looking towards the training ground of the City Lord’s Mansion, one could see the distinct expressions of Zhao Luo, City Lord Nie, and Lin Xiaowan, who were still in the training ground.

The duel between Ye Chen and Lin Xiaowan wasn’t a real fight to the death, just a trial, and it ended quickly.

Moreover, it was Lin Xiaowan who initiated the end of the bout. Stay updated through novelbuddy

Even though they only sparred for a very short time, Lin Xiaowan was still extremely thrilled.

In that brief exchange, she found herself equally matched with Ye Chen.

One must know, Lin Xiaowan was a warrior who had been training at the nine divine institutes, having entered the strongest of them all, the Supreme Divine Institute, after the last set of institute assessments.

Even when she was a mere Seven Tribulations True God, she could fight against many Lower God Kings, and as an Eight Tribulations True God, she had already defeated quite a few Lower God Kings, marking herself as a genius capable of fighting beyond her own realm!

Add to that her new breakthroughs in techniques and divine skills acquired during her training days at the Supreme Divine Institute.

Lin Xiaowan at this stage was among the formidable Nine Tribulations True Gods within the Supreme Divine Institute, and she could even take on many Middle God Kings from outside.

Under these circumstances, the fact that Ye Chen could fight on equal terms with her naturally shook Lin Xiaowan.

Even if she didn’t use her full strength, even if she didn’t deploy her true trump cards, Lin Xiaowan knew that Ye Chen definitely had the capability to fight alongside her and win the battle for Divine City.

Lin Xiaowan even felt that Ye Chen still had many hidden cards unplayed and that his strength may not be much less than hers, enough to qualify for joining the Supreme Divine Institute!

Lin Xiaowan was quite satisfied with Ye Chen as a companion.

Zhao Luo and City Lord Nie, however, were completely astonished.

Zhao Luo had not expected that although he too was a Nine Tribulations True God, the gap between him and a fellow Nine Tribulations True God like Lin Xiaowan would be so immense!

Indeed, his training in an ordinary Small Divine City was simply no match for a Nine Tribulations True God refined by the supreme divine institute of the Divine Kingdom. Lacking the capacity to fight across realms, for him, Lin Xiaowan seemed even stronger than many Lower God Kings!

If Lin Xiaowan was a surprise, then Ye Chen, who was only a Four Tribulations True God, was even more astonishing to Zhao Luo.

Zhao Luo hadn’t expected that Ye Chen, being at a lower realm than him, could match Lin Xiaowan in combat for so long without falling behind. This showed that Ye Chen’s strength in cross-realm combat was incredibly formidable!

As for City Lord Nie, his heart was filled with shock and a wry smile.

He was a Lower God King and among the more formidable in his rank.

Originally, he knew his beloved niece might actually be stronger than him in a life or death battle.

City Lord Nie could accept the strength of Lin Xiaowan, who had an extraordinary background and trained at the Supreme Divine Institute. But when he saw Ye Chen fighting Lin Xiaowan, he was shocked to find that this young man was so strong, seemingly no weaker than him as a Lower God King, perhaps even stronger!

How could this not shock City Lord Nie?

Just a few months earlier, when City Lord Nie first met Ye Chen, he was merely a Heavenly Divine Venerable late-stager, whom City Lord Nie felt he could suppress effortlessly with a mere gesture.

Now, in just a matter of months, this young man seemed to have displayed signs of surpassing him. Such rapid progress, even for someone experienced as City Lord Nie, was utterly astonishing.

Of course, City Lord Nie was also thrilled.

His beloved niece’s combat ability goes without saying. Now, with the already formidable Ye Chen having broken through to a Four Tribulations True God and his combat power reaching such levels, the two of them teaming up to help his Circulation of Heaven Divine City win the battle for Divine City seemed almost a certainty.

"An unexpected shock, an unexpected delight!" mused City Lord Nie internally.

While Zhao Luo, City Lord Nie, and Lin Xiaowan were all having their own reflections after the recent battle, Ye Chen, having left the City Lord’s Mansion, also wore a somewhat surprised expression.

On one hand, Ye Chen was amazed at Lin Xiaowan’s strength as well.

This girl could train at the Supreme Divine Institute, and she was among the formidable beings in the Nine Tribulations True Gods of the Institute. She was truly not ordinary.

Even though Ye Chen was now capable of defeating many Lower God Kings, he wasn’t entirely sure he could triumph over this girl.

Ye Chen had also come to realize that Lin Xiaowan was a genius capable of crossing realms in battle!

This made Ye Chen even more interested in joining the Supreme Divine Institute to meet more such talents.

The second thing that completely surprised Ye Chen was what Lin Xiaowan told him about the new developments in the Nine Suns Ancient Land after their spar.

When he heard that the first goddess of the Supreme Divine Institute, "Long Li," intended to enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land, causing many talented true gods and God Kings to rush there, it stirred upheaval among the young generations of the nine great god institutes and even the true gods and God Kings outside; Ye Chen was also shocked.

And when he heard Lin Xiaowan speak of this first goddess "Long Li" of the Supreme Divine Institute, Ye Chen felt an inexplicable sense of awe.

"Sixteen years old, and already an Upper God King? Having defeated many Earth Divine Venerables and even clashed with a Heavenly Divine Venerable?!"

Ye Chen was absolutely astonished by the combat power of this Long Li!

Ye Chen felt that his own breakthroughs in cultivation were incredibly fast, but even then, compared to this legendary foremost proud daughter of the younger generation from the Divine Kingdom known as "Long Li," he still felt far weaker.

It must be known that by bone age, Long Li was even a few years younger than him!

"Long Li was born in the Divine Kingdom, indeed her starting point is higher than those from the lower realm."

"Perhaps, she’s also entered the cycle of life’s origin several times."

"Yet, even so, to achieve such a level at sixteen, reaching the realm of Upper God King, it’s absolutely fitting to call her the number one pride of the Divine Kingdom!"

"After all, countless Martial Artists in the Divine Kingdom can’t even compare to me, let alone her!"

Amidst his admiration, Ye Chen grew curious about this rumored first beauty and first God King of the Supreme Divine Institute, Long Li, who had enchanted countless Martial Artists across the nine great god institutes.

"The battle for Divine City, I must win that entry spot into the Nine Suns Ancient Land."

"I can’t miss this chance to witness Long Li for myself, as well as the talents from the younger generation of the Divine Kingdom!"

As Ye Chen pondered this, he traversed through the Blood Moon Forest and eventually returned to the Zhou Family’s residence in Fallen Moon City.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In these three days, because of Zhou Yue’s safe return with many treasures, the Zhou Family was ecstatic. Even though Zhou Yue didn’t share all of the treasures with her clan members, revealing them only to the upper echelons, when they heard that the Zhou Family had obtained numerous Black Divine Coins, providing the younger generation with resources and opportunities for cultivation, the members of the Zhou Family couldn’t calm their excitement.

And Ye Chen, who brought all this to the Zhou Family, became the savior in the eyes of the Zhou clan members!

The Zhou Family members wished they could stay by Ye Chen’s side every day to express their gratitude.

Understanding the Zhou Family members’ joy, Ye Chen was empathetic, but he was slightly overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.

In the end, it was only when Ye Chen needed to prepare for the battle for Divine City, after Zhou Tianhao and Zhou Yue informed the family, that the Zhou clan members ceased disturbing Ye Chen’s cultivation.

When the day of the battle for Divine City finally arrived after three days, Ye Chen flew out from the Zhou Family’s residence early in the morning, followed by Zhou Yue, Zhou Tianhao, and others who were reluctant to part with him.

The young girl, Zhou Yue, had red-rimmed eyes. She knew that this farewell with Ye Chen might be the last; after participating in the battle for Divine City, it was unlikely he would return to Fallen Moon City. They might never meet again.

Ascending from the Zhou residence, Ye Chen looked back in mid-air, his gaze landing on those standing next to Zhou Yue, vigorously waving goodbye—it was none other than Bing Yi, Bing Wu, and Bing Qi.

Just as Ye Chen had settled the matters with the Zhou clan, descendants of the Ice-Sealed God King, and was about to leave for the battle for Divine City, Bing Yi, Bing Wu, and Bing Qi expressed their sorrowful wish to stay behind. They wanted to accompany the Zhou Family members for a while longer and, in the future, they planned to cultivate on their own.

Through conversations with Bing Yi, Bing Wu, and Bing Qi, Ye Chen learned the reasons behind their decision.

On one hand, they wanted to repay the kindness of the Ice-Sealed God King; on the other, they felt helpless during formidable tribulations when faced with his rapid progress in cultivation.

They knew they were no longer of much help to their new master and even believed that their master’s achievements would surely surpass the Ice-Sealed God King in the future.

They needed to cultivate on their own; perhaps in the future, they could be of help to Ye Chen again and meet with him. Otherwise, following Ye Chen would only result in being left further and further behind.

Bing Yi, tearing up, told Ye Chen that she would strive to join the Great Divine Institute to find him again in the future!

Seeing Bing Yi, Bing Wu, and Bing Qi in the crowd, waving goodbye with tears on their faces, Ye Chen’s heart was heavy.

But he couldn’t refuse their decision.

After a while, Ye Chen sighed deeply and set his sights forward.

At the same time, glancing at Xiaojiu who was resting his head on his neck to comfort him with his actions, and the little monkey sleeping inside the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, he thought at least he still had these two little companions by his side!

"Partings are a precursor to reunions!"

"Let go of the sorrowful thoughts, the battle for Divine City, and the Nine Suns Ancient Land await ahead!"

As Ye Chen’s eyes gradually cleared, he reached the skies above Circulation of Heaven Divine City and saw City Lord Nie, Zhao Luo, and Lin Xiaowan taking off from the Divine City.

"Ye Chen, you’ve arrived?"

"Let’s go, this battle for Divine City will take place in a place called ’Endless Mountain’ on our Star Continent. We’ll use the Teleportation Divine Formation to rush there now!"

City Lord Nie told Ye Chen with a smile.
