'Darn.'
'Just one round of practice, and the cultivation method has reached the perfect level this is simply too preposterous!'
'...'
Jiang Chen secretly observed Ye Fan, feeling as though a maelstrom of emotions swirled within his heart.
His own cultivation method practice was already considered exceptionally rapid.
Nonetheless, even for a quick-success method like the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Secrets, he had to practice it multiple times, investing a significant amount of time before attaining the great accomplishment level.
For methods such as the Wind Void Steps and the seventh layer of the Void Rainbow Sword Technique, he had merely reached the minor accomplishment level.
But Ye Fan.
In a matter of mere minutes, he had practiced a Heavenly Origin realm cultivation method to the perfect level!
This was truly exasperating!
At that moment,
Jiang Chen witnessed Ye Fan retrieve a second cultivation method and commence practicing it with the same methodology.
'Drat!'
'This is utterly absurd!'
'Ye Fan's sole weakness now is that his cultivation base lags behind, hindering him from fully unleashing the power of those cultivation methods.'
'But even so, it's excessively preposterous!'
'No, I must enhance my own strength; otherwise, I won't be able to contend with this guy!'
'Fortunately, I still possess some spiritual plants on me, which I recently acquired from Li Teng.'
'That's right, Li Teng's cultivation methods are also in my possession...'
'Phew, even though Li Teng and Ye Fan both hail from the Azure Jade Sect, and their cultivation methods are somewhat repetitive, if Ye Fan were to obtain Li Teng's cultivation methods as well, it would suffice to considerably augment his strength.'
'...'
Jiang Chen felt slightly reassured as he gazed at the cultivation methods in Li Teng's storage ring.
Immediately afterward,
He extracted all the spiritual plants from Li Teng's storage ring.
Now capable of directly consuming spiritual plants, Jiang Chen seldom ingested medicinal pills.
Unless they were system-produced pills or of exceptionally high quality, he wouldn't consume them in the slightest.
After all, medicinal pills harbored impurities, and excessive consumption could prove detrimental to one's physical foundation.
In that instant,
After extracting all the medicinal pills and spiritual plants,
Jiang Chen's expression abruptly froze.
'Huh?'
'This Li Teng is actually quite affluent!'
'Judging by his possessions, he's undoubtedly more than an ordinary Early-stage Mysterious Platform realm cultivator; he must have a formidable background!'
'Hehe, this is likely another subplot in Ye Fan's narrative.'
'Behind Li Teng stands a vast assembly of benevolent individuals eager to bestow generous gifts.'
'...'
Gazing at the stacks of spirit stones within the storage ring, Jiang Chen couldn't help but marvel.
Inside the storage ring, there were at least 500,000 spirit stones!
Moreover, there were Li Teng's weapons, artifacts, and other valuable treasures.
'Fortunately, all these things now belong to me.'
Jiang Chen smiled before popping the spiritual plants into his mouth.
In no time,
A vast amount of medicinal properties were absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus.
The nourished Burning World Red Lotus swiftly reciprocated with an extraordinary power, persistently enhancing Jiang Chen's aptitude and elevating his cultivation.
Having just advanced to the Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm, his cultivation base rose once more.
'Hehe!'
'My secret weapon isn't too shabby either; it's excellent for boosting my realm!'
'Most crucially, it can augment my aptitude, which is incredible!'
Jiang Chen grinned inwardly and then turned his gaze back to Ye Fan.
However, he noticed that Ye Fan had already mastered the second Heavenly Blade School's cultivation method, achieving the perfect level.
Given his Late-stage Spiritual Awakening cultivation base, he likely couldn't even unleash a tenth of its potential.
Nonetheless, Jiang Chen recognized that Ye Fan's strength must have improved substantially, rendering his previous combat capabilities an inadequate measure.
At this moment,
Ye Fan was practicing the final Heavenly Origin realm cultivation method.
However, it appeared that this method was not progressing smoothly, as the energy in the Wordless Heavenly Jade had already been depleted.
"No, this won't do."
"The Heavenly Origin realm cultivation method is potent, but the energy it demands during practice is equally immense!"
"Now that the energy in the Wordless Heavenly Jade has been drained, I must continue my search for monsters to vanquish!"
Ye Fan resolved, then concealed his left hand with his broad sleeve, nonchalantly selecting a direction in which to begin moving.
'Darn it!'
'Here we go again!'
'I can't allow him to continue hunting monsters like this!'
'I must get ahead of him and eliminate all the monsters he's bound to encounter!'
'Seriously, I never imagined I'd be competing for monsters even after crossing over.'
'...'
Jiang Chen muttered inwardly, then began contemplating how to seize the monsters.
With his current speed at the Half-step Heavenly Origin realm, he was undoubtedly more powerful than Ye Fan, but only by a small margin!
In order not to let Ye Fan detect him,
He needed to dispatch the monsters and gather the loot as swiftly as possible!
Otherwise, if Ye Fan came across him, it would raise his suspicions, make him more cautious, and even more challenging to handle!
"It seems!"
"I must use my treasure!"
Jiang Chen licked his lips, and with a swift flick of his right hand, he produced the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle!
In this instant, the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle was palm-sized, boasting a sleek design that was remarkably elegant and smooth, akin to a flawless cigar!
Jiang Chen held it delicately between his right fingertips before gently tossing it into the air.
In an instant,
The Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle rapidly expanded, morphing from a diminutive cigar-shaped object into a three-meter-long flying artifact.
"Sky Piercing Shuttle, let's go!"
Jiang Chen seated himself on the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle, and as the Yuan Power flowed, he immediately disappeared from his original position like a fleeting streak!
En route,
The Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle burst forth with a velocity far surpassing Jiang Chen's own flying speed.
This made Jiang Chen feel as though he were astride a rocket, an experience that was nothing short of exhilarating!
Moreover,
This wasn't even its top speed!
"So fast!"
"Holy moly, I believe I can push it even further!"
"Full throttle, let's go!"
Jiang Chen's face displayed sheer excitement as he persistently channeled Yuan Power into the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle.
Immediately!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The velocity of the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle multiplied tenfold, surpassing the speed of sound!
Nonetheless,
During the initial creation of the flying artifact, the issue of sonic booms was taken into account, leading to the development of a design that specifically masked the noise.
As a consequence,
Jiang Chen's flight remained silent, reminiscent of a small spacecraft traversing through space - both swift and hushed.
"I adore it! I adore it!"
"Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle, you're astounding!"
Jiang Chen's eyes widened in amazement, his face brimming with overwhelming joy and astonishment!
At that moment,
Within the scope of his divine sense, a blood-colored monster emerged!
"A monster in the Early-stage Mysterious Platform realm!?"
"Pathetic, perish!"
Jiang Chen swiftly navigated the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle behind the monster and lifted his hand, unleashing a barrage of dark sword radiance!
It was the Shadowblade Sword!
A Heavenly Origin realm weapon!
Confronted by the Shadowblade Sword, the Early-stage Mysterious Platform realm blood-colored monster had no means to defend itself. It couldn't even react before being diagonally cleaved into two halves!
Boom.
The monster's remains plummeted to the ground, bisected.
It didn't even have the opportunity to emit a final cry.
Without delay,
Jiang Chen extracted a golden-red inner core from one portion of the blood-colored monster's severed head.
"Right!"
"I can't leave this carcass for Ye Fan!"
Jiang Chen stowed away the golden-red inner core and then waved his hand, unleashing the fearsome Burning World flames!
With a whoosh!
The flames engulfed the monster's carcass like a ferocious tidal wave, and the acrid scent of charred flesh pervaded the air immediately.
In a mere instant,
The monster's carcass transformed into ashes, dissipating in a wisp of smoke!
[Ding! You have successfully taken a portion of protagonist Ye Fan's opportunities. Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 100 points!]
[Ding! You have acquired 200 points of Villain Value!]
The system notifications resounded.
Jiang Chen's expression grew increasingly exuberant!
