Chapter 140: The Second Fountain of Life Erupts

  After drawing the composite bow and spiral arrow holder, Ye Chen unfolded another piece of Xuan paper and drew a kind of crossbow on it. This crossbow can hold ten bolts, greatly reducing the time to load the bolts. If used in an army's formation battle, it would play a crucial role in winning the victory.

  In the midst of Xiao Qi's stunned expression, Ye Chen handed over three rolled-up papers with good graphics and a storage bag containing Hei Chen Mu, saying: "Xiao Qi, take these papers and materials to the engineering camp of the military, and produce them in the shortest time possible. However, the things made must be exactly the same as those I drew, and also, the arrowheads must use the best hundred-refined steel."

  "En, Brother Ye and Xiao Qi know. "Xiao Qi's eyes sparkled as he looked at Ye Chen: "Brother Ye, how many bows and crossbows should we make?"

  Ye Chen thought for a moment, then said: "Alright, 700 composite bows, 300 repeating crossbows, and as many arrows and bolts as possible. Oh, right, if anyone asks, just say the princess ordered you to do it."

  "En, Xiao Qi knows." Xiao Qi nodded and quickly disappeared into the Listening Rain Pavilion.

  Xiao Qi went to the engineering camp and never came back, it seems that he will only return after everything is done. After dark, Yu Hui returned to Ting Yu Xuan, Ye Chen sat in the pavilion in the center of the lotus pond between several buildings.

  Seeing Ye Chen, Hou Yu quickly walked over and smiled slightly: "Everything is done, the people you want I have personally selected for you, tomorrow morning they will arrive at Tingyu Pavilion. I really want to know what you plan to do, can these thousand people defeat the hundreds of thousands of Ha Chi tribe's army?"

  "Of course not." Ye Chen shook his head, smiled and said: "A thousand people are definitely not enough, but they are the core, the key to victory, and will play a decisive role at critical moments. With the cooperation of other troops from the Blue Rain Tribe, we will be invincible."

  "Alright, I believe you. Believe that you can cultivate an army that makes the Hacha tribe's army tremble with fear." Hou Yu said with a smile.

  "Don't worry, for your sake, I will never let the Hachi tribe harm Blue Rain City in the slightest." Ye Chen smiled faintly.

  "Hmm." After Yu's face turned red, her eyes rippled with waves. Ye Chen was sweating profusely, having spoken carelessly earlier and causing After Yu to misunderstand him. He let out a dry laugh and hastily explained, "I meant that I will repay your kindness of saving my life by using all my strength to protect you and the Blue Rain Clan."

  "After the rain, I understand what you mean." A hint of melancholy flashed in Hou Yu's eyes.

  The sky had darkened, and Xiaoxian Shuang and Miao Miao had played enough, so they returned to the attic. Xiao Yatou rushed over as soon as she came up and ran to Hou Yu's side, holding her hand and saying: "Sister Hou Yu, you look even more beautiful today."

  "Really?" Yu smiled lightly, picked up Xiao Xianfeng, pinched her little nose and said: "In the future, when Xian'er grows up, she will definitely be more beautiful than her sister."

  "Really?" Xiaoxian Shuang blinked her big eyes and looked at Hou Yu.

  "Of course it's true." Hou Yu smiled and nodded.

  "Yes, Xian'er will become even more beautiful and lovely, then big brother will like Xian'er even more later." Little Xianfeng said very seriously.

  Ye Chen was speechless, did he have to be handsome in order to like himself, and if he wasn't handsome then he wouldn't like himself?

  "Hmm, Xian'er is absolutely right. I think your big brother is just a pervert who only likes beautiful women." Hou Yu glanced at Ye Chen and covered her mouth to laugh, causing Ye Chen to roll his eyes in exasperation.

  "Hey, big brother isn't a pervert at all, but the sisters he knows are all so pretty and lovely." Xiaoxian Shuang wrinkled her little nose.

  Ye Chen was speechless, stood up and said: "It's time to have dinner, if you're not eating I'll eat first." After finishing speaking, he walked straight out of the pavilion.

  "Xian'er, look at your big brother's expression, isn't he angry?" Hou Yu whispered in Xiao Xianfeng's ear.

  "No, no, big brother is not so petty." Xiaoxian Shuang shook her head and jumped down from Hou Yu's body, pulling her hand. "Sister Houyu, Xianer is hungry."

  "Little glutton. Let's go eat." Yu Ruo smiled softly, reached out to tap Xiaoxian Shuang's forehead, and then pulled her away from the pavilion.

  After dinner, Ye Chen let Xiao Xianfeng go rest first, while he himself came to the lake alone. In these three months, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the first life spring, and he also felt that he could break through. As he was about to face the army of the Hei Chi tribe, Ye Chen naturally wanted to further improve his own strength in order to have a greater grasp. After all, there were so many formidable people in the Hei Chi tribe that he didn't even know, and the only thing he knew was that the Blue Rain tribe's army was absolutely no match for the Hei Chi tribe's wolf cavalry regiment.

  Although Ye Chen had never seen the wolf cavalry of the Ha Chi tribe, he had also seen the appearance of the wolf cavalry from a portrait brought by Xiao Qi. It was indeed powerful and majestic, most importantly they had signed a contract with the wolf tribe and revered the Red Wolf King as their totem.

  Those red wolves of the wolf cavalry are even more powerful than the cavalry themselves, so the heavy infantry, which was already evenly matched with the Xiong Yongbing, has transformed into a wolf cavalry, and its strength is far beyond what the Xiong Yong cavalry can match.

  Ye Chen's fate sea was like a rising tide, with wave after wave surging up, it could be said that the raging sea was turbulent. The spiritual energy surface of the fate sea continued to rise, and after three months of spiritual energy absorption and transformation, the amount of spiritual energy in the fate sea had increased several times.

  Rumble!

  At this moment, a huge sound like the Yangtze River bursting its banks came from the bottom of Ye Chen's life sea, and the Life Spring Eye opened in an instant. Endless blood energy sprayed up from the bottom of the life sea.

  The powerful life energy continuously refined the spiritual power in the sea of fate, and the spiritual power also became more and more pure. At the same time, those spiritual powers also entered various parts of the body through the fountain of life, continuously refining Ye Chen's physical body. Ye Chen could clearly feel that both the spiritual power in the sea of fate and his own physical strength were growing exponentially, and the space of the sea of fate was further expanding. This feeling was too comfortable, the kind of feeling full of power gave him a confidence that he could collapse a mountain with one punch!

  Ye Chen's body surface emitted countless orange-golden rays of light, his entire clothes bursting open to reveal his ancient bronze-colored skin. His precious body shone brightly, with flowing auspicious lights on top, looking like a crystal golden body.

  "Life Ocean Secret Realm, Second Life Spring Surge!" Ye Chen muttered to himself, even he felt it was somewhat unbelievable. Half a year ago, he had just reached the ninth stage of physical cultivation, and in this short period, not only did he coincidentally break through his dantian, but also suddenly broke through to the realm of the second life spring surge of the Life Ocean Secret Realm.

  However, Ye Chen was very clear that when he broke through to the Secret Realm of Minghai, the blood energy surging out of the orifices in his body that had been spiritualized and the absorption of a large amount of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy inside Minghai had already almost directly reached the late stage of the first Fountain of Life after the turmoil. That's why he could break through to the boundary of the second Fountain of Life in these three months.

  The breakthroughs that follow will be even more difficult, with each breakthrough requiring nearly a tenfold increase in spiritual energy. If one were to continue cultivating through meditation in the Back Earth Forest, it's likely they would have to wait several more years for another breakthrough.

  Ye Chen shook his head and was about to get up and change into a new set of clothes when a sudden, embarrassed voice rang out.

  "Yu... Ye Chen you..." The voice of Hou Yu came over, filled with shame and anger, "Hurry up and put on your clothes!"

  Ye Chen suddenly turned around, hastily put on his clothes, turned back and walked to Hou Yu's side, awkwardly saying: "How did you get here? Didn't I tell you to go rest? This can't be blamed on me."

  "Who said it was your fault?" Hou Yu's face was still a bit red as he asked, "Did you break through again?"

  "Yes." Ye Chen nodded and walked a few steps to sit down by the lake. The evening breeze brought a refreshing coolness.

  "Congratulations, with your current state, you are considered a top-notch expert in our Blue Rain Clan." Hou Yu followed Ye Chen to the lake and sat down beside him, looking at the moon reflected in the lake and smiled as he spoke.

  "Oh, what is the highest realm of the strongest person in your Blue Rain Clan?" Ye Chen curiously asked.

  "It should be the fourth time the Fountain of Life has surged in the Secret Realm of Fate." Hou Yu casually smoothed out her green locks.

  "What about the Hacha tribe?"

  "The strong ones in the Ha Chi tribe's Secret Realm of Life Spring should be on par with us, the Blue Rain Tribe. Otherwise, Blue Rain City would have become part of the Ha Chi tribe long ago. However, they now have an additional Red Wolf King. Although the red wolf is considered a low-ranking wolf in the wolf tribe, the Red Wolf King's strength cannot be underestimated and should at least match the fourth surge of Life Spring's boundary. As a spiritual beast, its power is inherently stronger than that of humans of the same rank, making it a very dangerous existence."

  "So, if Blue Rain Tribe and Haicheng Tribe really go to war this time, are you worried?" Ye Chen said with a smile, casually picking up a few stones from the ground and throwing them into the lake, causing ripples on the calm surface.

  "Hou Yu said, turning his head to look at Ye Chen, his eyes were like two blue stars, beautiful and dazzling,"Ever since you told me you could defeat the Ha Chi tribe, I haven't been worried."

  "You're so confident in me?" Ye Chen habitually touched the tip of his nose, smiling: "If I couldn't handle the Hacha tribe, you can prepare to marry that Hamontor or whatever."

  "Yes, I certainly believe you!" Hou Yu said very seriously, "If that day really comes, I must go to the Hacha tribe and relatives. Before leaving, I will definitely give myself to you."

  Ye Chen: "Don't worry, there won't be that day, you can't give yourself to anyone."

  Hou Yu didn't respond to Ye Chen's words, but instead looked at him with a flickering gaze and said something that made Ye Chen want to run away.

  "Yè Chén, I like you."

  Ye Chen was speechless for a moment, then said, "We're not suitable, I've said it before, my path is one of bloodshed, while you can live a good life in this Blue Rain City."
