Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 16: Trouble Comes Knocking



...

While the Hong Family mobilized all their forces to search for Ye Qingchen's whereabouts, Ye Qingchen was already on his way to the Imperial Capital.

From Zhou Yuntian, he not only learned clues about his father, but also obtained a martial technique:

Thunder Finger!

Profound Grade Top martial technique!

The essence of its moves is to use the finger to confront the enemy, in an instant, unleash all the power within, the finger like thunder, delivering a deadly strike to the enemy!

Therefore.

On the journey, Ye Qingchen practiced cultivation every day and comprehended the 'Thunder Finger'.

Even though he had already understood it, Ye Qingchen had never used it.

This move is too strong, even several times stronger than the 'Killing Sword Style', not only does it drain all his star power in an instant, but it also causes some damage to his body.

"This move must not be used unless absolutely necessary!"

Ye Qingchen had already made a firm decision in his heart.

Besides 'Thunder Finger', he discovered that his hard training during this period was also bringing him close to reaching Qi Refining Twelfth Layer and achieving the position of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

If he were still in Cyan Cloud City, he would have been extremely excited.

But since he had met Zhou Yuntian, Ye Qingchen realized that this world was indeed vast.

Being a Martial Arts Grandmaster is just the starting point.

Not to mention Zhou Yuntian, even Wu Shanhe's strength far surpassed a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

"Brother, the Imperial Capital! We have arrived at the Imperial Capital!"

Ye Qing's call interrupted Ye Qingchen's thoughts.

On the horizon, a magnificent and grand city loomed, with a scale tens of times larger than Cyan Cloud City, like a primeval giant beast lying in wait, its mouth wide open, constantly swallowing passing carriages and people.

"Is this the Imperial Capital?"

Ye Qingchen looked at the enormous city, and a sense of grandeur and pride surged from within.

Compared to it, Cyan Cloud City seemed like a rundown woodshed, not worth mentioning.

Even more astonishing was that the guards at the city gates were all at Qi Refining Third Layer!

"Qi Refining Third Layer, and they're just guards?"

Ye Qingchen was secretly shocked.

How difficult it is to become a cultivator?

Even a Martial Apprentice is a revered existence in Cyan Cloud City.

But here?

Not even worth mentioning!

"Brother, look at those people!" Suddenly, Ye Qing softly exclaimed.

Ye Qingchen followed her gaze and saw many teenagers of the same age coming from all directions.

Their cultivation levels had already reached Qi Refining Tenth Layer, and there were some at the Eleventh Layer, even Twelfth Layer.

"Why are there so many young geniuses?" Ye Qingchen couldn't help but be slightly dazed.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, the two entered the Imperial Capital.

In the Imperial Capital, people bustled, and it was lively beyond compare.

The siblings had traveled for a long time and were already starving and parched, so they found a restaurant and went straight inside.

"Welcome, both of you!"

As soon as they entered, a maid came up to them, "What can I do for you two?"

"I like peace and quiet."

Ye Qingchen said calmly and proudly.

He had obtained at least hundreds of thousands of silver from the Hong Family and Ye Family, so he was not short of money.

The restaurant was elegantly and magnificently decorated, quite extraordinary.

Under the guidance of a waiter, the two headed straight to the third floor, along the way also seeing many young geniuses raising their glasses and engaging in loud discussions.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but ask, "Why have so many young geniuses gathered in the Imperial Capital?"

"Young master, these people are here to participate in the Sect Selection Tournament!" The maid quickly replied, and seeing that Ye Qingchen did not understand, she hurriedly explained.

The Sect Selection Tournament is jointly organized by the eight major sects of the Celestial Peak Country, selecting young geniuses.

Every three years, young geniuses from all over the country come to the Imperial Capital to participate in the tournament. Once selected, they enter the sect and rise to the top, transforming from a flood dragon into a true dragon!

Those who can be selected are all extraordinary talents.

And once selected, they become distinguished guests of various great forces.

"I see!" Ye Qingchen's heart was complicated upon hearing this.

Not only is Cyan Cloud City remote, but it is also the most insignificant city among the hundred and eight cities where even Martial Dao Grandmasters are scarce.

Had he not come to find his father, how would he have known these things?

"Brother! We can..." Ye Qing's eyes lit up.

"Indeed!" Ye Qingchen also nodded.

Earlier, he was worried about his limited power and inability to find clues about his father.

Now this 'Sect Selection Tournament' had shown him a clear path.

"If I can pass the Sect Selection Tournament, maybe I can leverage the power of the sect to find my father's whereabouts!"

"Just not sure, what are the requirements to participate in the selection tournament!"

As Ye Qingchen was lost in thought, a commotion interrupted his thoughts.

A group of arrogant youths swaggered onto the third floor, each dressed extravagantly, with arrogant eyes, loudly laughing and talking without restraint.

Feeling Ye Qingchen's gaze, one of the sharp-faced youths glared maliciously, "What are you looking at! If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Ye Qingchen frowned slightly, slowly withdrawing his gaze.

He did not want to stir up trouble.

But even if he did not seek trouble, trouble found him.

After ascending to the third floor, finding no suitable place, they directly headed towards them, shouting loudly, "Get lost, we want this spot!"

"Young master, this spot is already occupied, let me find another elegant seat for you all..." the maid hurriedly responded.

As she spoke, the sharp-faced youth moved and slapped her across the face, sending the maid flying four or five meters away!

"You lowly maid, didn't I make myself clear? We're not going anywhere else, we want this spot!"

As he spoke, the youth's gaze also turned towards Ye Qingchen, seeing his indifferent expression, he sneered, "What are you looking at? If you don't move, I'll hit both of you!"

"Wearing such shabby clothes, and you dare to eat at the Agarwood Tower? Do you have the right?"

"Get lost quickly!"

Other youths chimed in as well.

This scene also led others in the restaurant to whisper among themselves.

"Aren't these people too arrogant? Daring to be so wanton even in the Imperial Capital?"

"Don't talk nonsense! These are all here to participate in the 'Sect Selection Tournament'. See that golden-robed youth over there? He's Chu Minghui from Qianhuan City! A Martial Arts Grandmaster at Qi Refining Twelfth Layer!"

"Him?"

The crowd, upon hearing this, quickly looked over.

Among them, the golden-robed youth remained silent, but it was evident that the other youths followed his lead, his demeanor far surpassing others!

Immediately, everyone's expressions changed dramatically, pretending not to see, fearing to draw trouble onto themselves.

"Brother, how about we find another spot?" Ye Qing softly suggested.

She could see that these people's behavior was exactly like the Hong Family's.

Moreover, judging from others' reactions, the other party's identity was likely not simple.

They had just arrived in the Imperial Capital and couldn't afford to stir up trouble again.

However, unexpectedly, Ye Qingchen shook his head with a faint smile, looking over.

"Where did these stray dogs come from, daring to bark in front of me?"

"Get lost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the restaurant fell into dead silence!
