I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 142 Elemental Armor, Divine General Azure Dragon

"Ye Qingzhou!"

The moment Li Yan'er saw Ye Qingzhou, her bright eyes lit up, and her face lit up with a radiant smile as she sweetly replied, "What a coincidence!"

Ye Qingzhou nodded: "It is quite a coincidence."

His gaze then swept over Zhang Chen and Liao Yucheng: "You two...are you going to fight?"

It's common for young martial artists on Earth to take a liking to each other on the road and then immediately go to the ring for a fight.

After all, martial artists have physiques far superior to ordinary people, and many medical martial arts techniques have been developed and are now widely used under the promotion of the Jishi Medical Association, so the treatment of external injuries is quite advanced.

In this way, martial artists don't need to pay much attention to ordinary injuries; they can just do it.

"Ye Qingzhou? That name sounds familiar..."

Zhang Chen shook his head, his fighting spirit soaring higher than ever before, his heart brimming with battle intent: "Whoever dares to steal my girl, I have to take them down!"

Soon, Zhang Chen turned his attention to Ye Qingzhou and said, "We're all new here and haven't adjusted to our form yet. How about we have a warm-up spar before the match? I checked, and there's a medical station from the Jishi Medical Association near the hotel. We can keep it brief and it won't affect tomorrow's match. What do you think?"

Zhang Chen was clearly saying this on purpose in front of Li Yan'er.

He wanted to fight Li Yan'er before because he wanted to prove his strength to her. If he could defeat Li Yan'er, give her some pointers, become friends, and exchange contact information, wouldn't everything fall into place naturally?

Maybe today is the day I can finally escape being single!

Although Ye Qingzhou has now interfered and his relationship with Li Yan'er is still quite close.

Zhang Chen remained confident, believing that Ye Qingzhou had simply replaced him as a stepping stone. Relying on his cultivation, he did not think he would lose.

"Junior, please don't..."

Lu Yifan wanted to step forward and dissuade him, after all, Ye Qingzhou was the biggest trump card of Linjiang No.1 Middle School.

Since it's a trump card, why would we easily reveal our strength to outsiders?

Before he could even speak, Ye Qingzhou nodded, accepting Zhang Chen's challenge: "Shall we stop here? Sure, I'm also very interested in your martial arts."

Zhang Chen was taken aback when Ye Qingzhou agreed so easily; he had thought she would refuse.

Afterwards, the six of them went together to the nearest fighting arena.

Li Yan'er and Lu Jingyao stood to one side, their hearts pounding with excitement: "Ye Qingzhou, keep going! We support you!"

Ye Qingzhou nodded to them, her expression remaining unchanged.

After all, it's just a small fry being fought. To cheer them on like that is really going too far.

Watching Li Yan'er and Lu Jingyao cheer for Ye Qingzhou, Zhang Chen clenched his fists tightly, secretly vowing, "Just you wait, one day, a pretty girl will cheer for me too!"

With this belief in mind, Zhang Chen took out three short metal spears from his back, then assembled them into a long spear, his gaze sharpening: "You, aren't you going to draw your sword?"

"unnecessary."

Ye Qingzhou spoke calmly.

"Oh well."

Zhang Chen was secretly delighted, already planning how to embarrass this arrogant pretty boy in front of him.

Let me utterly humiliate you in front of this beautiful girl!

hum~

As soon as Zhang Chen moved, a sound like the vibration of a bowstring filled the air—the sound of his muscles trembling.

His muscles are like a large bow, and his spear strikes like an arrow released from a bow!

The first move of the Six Bows Divine Spear technique: One arrow's worth of ground!

Still as a virgin, swift as a rabbit, Zhang Chen strode forward and launched his attack. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Ye Qingzhou, his movements incredibly fast.

"Be careful!"

Li Yan'er and Lu Jingyao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, wanting to warn Ye Qingzhou.

However, in Ye Qingzhou's eyes, Zhang Chen's speed was as slow as a tortoise crawl, to the point that Ye Qingzhou was getting a little impatient and raised his hand to yawn.

After leisurely stretching, Ye Qingzhou slowly extended a finger and flicked it lightly at the tip of the gun.

Ding~

Zhang Chen was thrown back several meters by the shock, his hand went numb, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

His Six-Arch Divine Spear was invincible throughout Jiufang Middle School, but now it was flicked back with a single finger?

Is this normal?

Am I still half asleep?

Ye Qingzhou shook his head in disappointment: "The essence of the Six Bows Divine Spear lies in the complete control of one's own power. One must be equipped with six bows, stretch one's muscles and bones, and ensure that the power flows from beginning to end, permeating the entire body."

"The so-called six bows are actually six harmonies, namely, the harmony of mind and intention, intention and breath, breath and strength, hands and feet, elbows and knees, and shoulders and hips. Only when all six are in harmony can the six bows in your body fully store power."

Finally, Ye Qingzhou turned and left the arena, leaving Zhang Chen alone, bewildered in the wind.

What just happened?

How could the opponent be more familiar with the Six Bows Divine Spear than I am?

Isn't his weapon a sword?

"Holy crap, I remember who he is!"

Liao Yucheng slammed his fist in his hand, his face contorted in pain: "Ye Qingzhou, the seventh-ranked martial arts prodigy on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!"

After his teammate's reminder, Zhang Chen instantly remembered where he had heard Ye Qingzhou's name before.

Isn't that one of the two most terrifying bosses in this year's Phoenix Cup?

I was so busy looking at the girls that I didn't even think of something so important!

At the same time, Zhang Chen had his own unspoken grievances. He was still thinking of playing dumb to impress the girl.

Now, things have turned out differently; Ye Qingzhou is the tiger, and he's the pig!

Seeing Ye Qingzhou walk away, Liao Yucheng then approached Zhang Chen and asked, "What do you think of his abilities?"

At this moment, Zhang Chen recalled the details of the battle just now, and his mood immediately became heavy: "Very strong, their strength is simply unfathomable."

"Is it really that exaggerated? You weren't using your full strength just now, were you?"

Liao Yucheng had never personally fought Ye Qingzhou, so he still harbored a sliver of wishful thinking.

But Zhang Chen truly felt the enormous gap between him and Ye Qingzhou, a gap that seemed as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

Therefore, the smile on his face at this moment was particularly bitter: "I didn't use my full strength, but did you think Ye Qingzhou used his full strength? He didn't even bother to draw his sword just now. I'm afraid he doesn't even take an opponent like me seriously."

"Is the difference really that big?"

Listening to Zhang Chen's description, Liao Yucheng felt a little suffocated.

He was quite pleased when he learned from the martial arts competition that two people from Hunan Province had made it into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List.

But now, knowing that he is about to face two monster players who are beyond the norm, Liao Yucheng is not happy at all.

at the same time.

The commotion on the fighting stage attracted the attention of many people.

Several martial arts upstarts from other cities who were passing by gathered around to watch the fight, but Zhang Chen was too weak and was defeated in one move, drawing boos from the surrounding crowd.

"What's going on? This is so boring!"

"Is the Jianning team really that weak?"

Several students dressed in uniforms from prestigious schools in other cities were discussing the battle that had just taken place, saying that they would definitely have won if they were in the fight.

Feng Wu, who was passing by, overheard this and immediately became displeased, his face full of indignation: "You think the Jianning team is weak? Want us to go up to the ring and have a go?"

Feng Wu placed his hand on his sword, his face full of ferocity. His powerful qi and blood cultivation suppressed the people opposite him, preventing them from making any more outrageous remarks. They hurriedly fled in panic.

Then, Feng Wucai walked over to Zhang Chen and Liao Yucheng and asked, "How did you two get into a conflict with Ye Qingzhou?"

Zhang Chen looked dejected: "I didn't know it was him before the fight started."

Feng Wu sighed, "It seems he's much stronger than he was during the sword fighting tournament. He's honed himself into an unparalleled sword, and once unsheathed, he'll be invincible."

Feng Wu, who was proficient in swordsmanship and ranked fifth in the Qinglan Sword Fighting Tournament, had good eyesight. He could tell that Ye Qingzhou's aura was completely different from before.

After being baptized by the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao, Ye Qingzhou's indomitable spirit has transformed into an even higher level of indomitable sword spirit. His entire body can resonate with sword energy, and its strength is so high that even if he stands still and lets others hit him, they may not be able to hurt him.

Just as Feng Wu said, Ye Qingzhou at this moment was a peerless sword, sharp and invincible.

…………

March 12, 20 am.

The Hunan Province Phoenix Cup City League has officially opened. This is a province-wide competition in Hunan Province, with middle schools from fourteen cities in the four regions of southern, northern, western, and eastern Hunan sending representative teams to participate and determine the allocation of martial arts resources for next year.

Even before the battle began, the fiery atmosphere dispelled the cold weather.

The sky was clear and the temperature was a bit cold, but the audience arrived early and waited for the opening ceremony.

The seats at Linjiang No. 1 Middle School were filled with students from the four major clubs of the Fighting Center, as well as the teachers leading the teams, and even some of the athletes' parents, who had taken time off work to come and form a support group to cheer on their children.

In addition, school leaders from the participating high schools were all present.

They were all formally dressed and had serious expressions. High-ranking officials from the martial arts associations of the fourteen cities and prominent figures from the provincial government were all present.

In terms of both scale and prestige, the Fengchu Cup is far superior to the previous Qinglan Sword Fighting Tournament.

This morning, the main focus was on watching the opening ceremony. The cameras of major media outlets were not on the athletes, but rather on these important figures.

Zhao Zhiyi, president of the Xingcheng Martial Arts Association.

Gu Minghui, representative of Tiangong Group.

University leaders from key local universities in Hunan Province, such as Central South University, National University of Defense Technology, Xiangtan University, and Xiangtan Normal University.

One after another, important figures who usually only appear on television were quietly seated in the guest seats, creating a bustling atmosphere that continuously pushed the event to its climax.

"My goodness, it seems like the number of guests and leaders invited to the Phoenix Cup is more than all of us contestants combined. Is that reasonable?"

"Isn't it normal for there to be more people giving orders than doing the work?"

"How dare you! Is this a topic we should be discussing?!"

In the stands of the sports center, the students who came to cheer were burning with the spirit of complaining. They came to watch the game, not to listen to those long and tedious speeches from leaders.

But with so many important figures here today, if each of them "says a few words," it'll probably take several hours to finish. It feels even more terrifying than mind-controlling magical techniques.

Soon, the martial arts arena was packed with guests, leaders, and spectators, and the opening ceremony finally began.

"Please be quiet, everyone!"

A tall, slender man with a loud voice stood at the front of the stage, holding a microphone: "I am Hong Sen, the host of this year's Phoenix Cup Competition. I am from the Jianning Martial Arts Association. From now on, I hope everyone will consciously abide by the rules of the competition and not interfere with the upcoming matches."

Beside him stood a beautiful female host in a light purple dress: "Hello everyone, I am Jingyu. Hun Sen and I will be providing commentary for this competition."

The character “菁” originally refers to the most exquisite part of something.

Jingyu herself can be considered the number one beautiful anchorwoman of Jianning TV.

She has beautiful long hair, a delicate oval face, and a well-proportioned figure. At the age of twenty-four or twenty-five, she exudes an irresistible feminine charm.

Her appearance immediately made the atmosphere even more enthusiastic.

"Jingyu, the beautiful news anchor from Jianning TV!"

"She's even prettier in person than on TV!"

"Ahhh, I think I'm falling in love!"

Jingyu's beautiful face quickly attracted the attention of countless people. Even among the contestants, there were many hot-blooded young men who stared intently at her figure.

Only Ye Qingzhou raised his head solemnly and looked up at the sky.

Leon asked curiously, "Master Ye, why aren't you watching the beautiful female anchor? What are you looking at the sky for?"

"They're here."

Ye Qingzhou's expression was solemn.

Leon was completely bewildered: "What's here?"

At this moment, Jingyu excitedly brought up the topic, saying, "The organizers of this year's Phoenix Chick Cup have also invited a special guest..."

"Let's give a round of applause to one of the Four Sages of the Primordial Spirit... the Divine General Azure Dragon!"

These words immediately ignited the emotions of the crowd.

"The Divine General Azure Dragon!"

"Holy crap, the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Sages, is coming?"

In an instant, the sky was filled with swirling clouds and rolling thunder that shook the heavens.

A powerful and incomparable figure slowly descended from the sky. He wore a unique set of metal armor, which seemed to be a perfect combination of classical culture and modern technology, and exuded a powerful mental pressure.

The Four Primordial Saints!

Divine General Azure Dragon!

To be able to influence the phenomena of heaven and earth with one's own mind—such a level of attainment undoubtedly makes one a martial saint among mortals!

The Divine General Azure Dragon is one of the Four Saints and also one of the Four Great Martial Arts Masters of the Eastern Pole Kingdom!

Only such a powerful figure can make unruly martial artists obediently accept the management of the martial arts association and the constraints of the law, and dare not act recklessly by relying on force.

"It really is the divine general Azure Dragon!"

On the contestant's platform, Leon was excited: "Martial Saint realm! The power I've always dreamed of obtaining. Sure enough, I'll become the focus of everyone's attention as soon as I appear."

The Martial Saint has transcended the mortal realm and stands tall in the heavens.

This power is so great that mortals can only look up to it; any power or wealth is as laughable as sand in the face of such might.

"Hello everyone, I am Qinglong."

Encased in armor, Qinglong does not reveal his true face; in fact, even the name Qinglong is a code name.

But this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd in the slightest!

The Four Saints of Yuanling not only enjoy a reputation and status second only to Qi Shengtian in the martial arts world of Dongji Kingdom, but also have extremely high prestige among the common people.

Young people, in particular, are extremely enthusiastic about the Four Sages of the Primordial Spirit; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them die-hard fans.

Ye Qingzhou was not infected by the frenzied emotions around him. Instead, through his Cicada Sense and Heart Sword ability, he sensed the abnormality of the Divine General Azure Dragon: "The source of power does not originate from the martial artist himself, but from the armor?"

Because he had once used Kang Jinlong's Dragon Essence, Ye Qingzhou was not entirely ignorant of the power of mental images.

The mental power displayed by the Azure Dragon at this moment, the great power that can control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, like the authority of a god, is not the power of the martial artist himself, but the power of the armor on the Azure Dragon's body.

Ye Qingzhou looked at Xu Yuebing and asked in a low voice, "What do you know about the armor worn by the Divine General Azure Dragon?"

"You mean the Elemental Armor?"

"Um."

"This thing is said to be a product developed by the Tiangong Group and the Tianji Research Institute. It is a masterpiece that deeply combines science and martial arts. As for the specific data, I don't know much about it, but it is very powerful and can give martial artists the combat power of a Martial Saint."

Xu Yuebing clearly knew a lot of inside information. After all, the martial arts families of Dongji Kingdom were the most qualified to speak on the power of the Yuanling Battle Armor.

After all, only those who have been beaten know how painful it is when a fist lands on their body.

Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh, "The government is really something, they actually developed this kind of combat weapon."

Kang Jinlong was able to bestow Dragon Essence upon others, granting them temporary Martial Saint-level combat power. Clearly, the current government of the Eastern Pole Kingdom has also acquired similar means through technology.

No wonder that even today, with the martial arts flourishing, the Eastern Kingdom has been able to maintain its original social order and has not allowed this emerging group of martial artists to usurp power and control the country through brute force.

The grand opening ceremony reached its climax with the arrival of the divine general Azure Dragon.

With a casual wave of his hand, Azure Dragon caused dark clouds to gather in the sky, followed by a wild dance of lightning.

Finally, a thunderous dragon, over twelve kilometers long, emerged from the clouds and mist, hovering above the Jianning Arena. The constantly exploding lightning and fireworks illuminated the entire sky like brilliant fireworks.

Such a breathtaking scene left everyone who came to watch the match speechless for a long time, immersed in the boundless power of the Martial Saint.

Finally, the dragon shadow formed by the thunder disappeared, and golden light pierced through the dark clouds, scattering across the earth.

And at that moment, the whistle signaled the start of the match.
