In fact, even the top ten fighters of Qingyun could hardly look down upon the heroes from all directions, unless they were like the sovereign of chaos, a figure revered by the nine dragons!

Ye Chen didn't want to look down on all the heroes, he just needed the strength to compete with them, only then would he be qualified to fight for those fortuitous opportunities.

Over this period, Ye Chen's strength had surged dramatically, having slain four people at the Peak Group meeting, shocking many mighty figures, and standing alongside the sovereign of chaos to suppress numerous heroes, he also fostered an invincible aura, which kindled a sense of arrogance within him.

However, the appearance of the three elders from the Luo Family awakened Ye Chen's vigilance.

Luo Qingtian was a Qingyun fighter, but he was old and frail with unstable vital energy, and Ye Chen was confident he could defeat him in battle.

In fact, Luo Qingtian was no match for the vigorous vitality of Ye Chen, and would have indeed been subdued by him if he hadn't held a trump card.

However, at the last moment, Luo Qingtian unleashed an extremely terrifying power, employing the Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven Technique to press down on him; had it not been for the life-and-death pressure that stimulated Ye Chen to inexplicably break through his limits and reach twelve times his fighting power, he would have long become a corpse.

After experiencing storms, Ye Chen had matured, his heart was no longer proud and overconfident, and he began to hold a sense of reverence for all kinds of individuals.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen also benefited from this misfortune, as the Amplification Skill he was cultivating somehow broke through, allowing him to erupt with twelve times his fighting power!

Moreover, Ye Chen had also acquired Luo Qingtian's Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven Secret Technique!

This was both a life-and-death ordeal and an immense fortuitous encounter.

Both Martial Way Secret Skills and Martial Way Secret Techniques were rare treasures; Secret Techniques were about enhancing one's own combat power, a kind of powerful state, while Secret Skills were invincible moves, which, once unleashed, could crush everything.

However, both Secret Techniques and Secret Skills were extremely rare in the world. Ye Chen, who had inherited his ancestors' teachings, had only mastered one Amplification Skill, and seeking those rare Secret Skills was something that happened by chance rather than by searching.

But fortune is unpredictable, and after killing Luo Qingtian, Ye Chen unexpectedly acquired the Secret Skill Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven. This great fortune came to him out of the blue, an opportune blessing that left people feeling thrilled and marveled at the unfathomable ways of the Heavenly Dao.

Ye Chen already possessed a rare Amplification Skill, and now with the ultimate Secret Skill in his grasp, if he could comprehend the Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven, it would undoubtedly become his trump card. With the perfection fusion of the Secret Technique and the Secret Skill, Ye Chen could easily attain the combat power of the top thirty contenders of Qingyun!

The emergence of the powerful hermit's abode was drawing near, and the stronger one's power, the more opportunities they could grab. Ye Chen must master Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven as quickly as possible to massively enhance his strength, so he would be fearless among the mighty and seize the incredible creation inside the abode.

"The Dragon Elephant is a kind of invincible giant beast in mythology, possessing earth-shaking, heaven-overturning might, and the technique Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven is derived from this..."

Ye Chen scrutinized the fragment closely; it depicted an unknown ferocious beast with the head of a dragon and the body of an elephant, known as the Dragon Elephant!

Besides the image of the Dragon Elephant, the fragment also held several lines of profound text. This was the essential method for operating the Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven Technique! As long as he could comprehend the divine might of the Dragon Elephant and combine it with these essential methods, he could cultivate this Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven Technique!

The yellowed piece of paper bearing the record of the Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven was a fragment, and the material of this paper was extremely special, seemingly made of the hide of an animal, exuding a sense of being impervious to water and fire, resistant to cutting and piercing.

However, the edges of the paper were jagged as if it had been violently torn, indicating that when it was whole, it might have been part of a book or a tome of Secret Skills.

This discovery caused ripples in Ye Chen's mind; if the mighty Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven was just one of the techniques from a book of Secret Skills, what kind of formidable martial arts could the complete book contain? To possess a complete book of Secret Skills would be akin to having a compendium of Martial Way Secret Skills. Just how many such Secret Skills would there be? If someone were to acquire it, wouldn't they become the world's number one master!

Nevertheless, such opportunities were to be encountered rather than sought; even a single Secret Skill could tremendously strengthen a person, and a series of Secret Skills might even enable a Grandmaster to challenge the Land Gods!

Ultimately, Ye Chen cast aside the distractions in his mind and began to earnestly immerse himself in the understanding of Dragon Elephant Overturning Heaven, entering a wonderful state of mind.

A week later.

"The might of the Dragon Elephant, overturning the earth and heavens!"

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, his left hand exuding the might of a dragon, his right forming an elephant shape, a massive flow of qi racing through his body, turning him into an imposing and invincible figure.

"The Dragon-Elephant Reversal, profound and inscrutable, even if I ponder it daily, I only grasp seven or eight parts of its essence!"

"However, even so, if I were to unleash a sudden powerful attack, even a Qingyun mighty one like Lei Tianhu might be severely injured by me!"

In the end, Ye Chen didn't execute the technique, as performing the Dragon-Elephant Reversal consumed too much vital energy, and his current condition was not at its peak—a forced execution would damage his vitality.

"In less than five days, my body will have completely recovered, and my combat power will climb to its peak!"

The injuries on Ye Chen's body were no longer a major concern, but to fully recover, he still needed a few days of quiet recuperation.

However, all the medicinal pills on Ye Chen had been used up, including the Strength God Elixirs necessary for maintaining cultivation.

That damn Li Yan, who was severely injured by Luo Tian's Dragon-Elephant strike and could've died at any moment, Lin Ying emptied all the pills on his person, not bothering to distinguish among them, and just crushed them up and fed them to Ye Chen in their entirety.

Fortunately for Lin Ying, his misguided efforts turned out to be fortuitous, as Ye Chen had several Healing Holy Elixirs on him, which stabilized his injuries after consumption. Those Strength God Elixirs, along with various other mixed pills, all transformed into the most pure medicinal strength, replenishing his three energies of essence, qi, and spirit.

Ye Chen often treated medicinal pills like candy, and now that he didn't have a single one left on him, he felt quite uncomfortable.

"As an alchemy master, to not have a single pill on me is to lose my standing!" Ye Chen muttered to himself.

"I now have my own pharmaceutical company, gathering some herbs shouldn't be difficult, and it's about time to commission an Alchemy Furnace and produce a few batches of great medicine."

Having made up his mind to refine pills, Ye Chen made a phone call to Su Binglan.

"Hello?" Su Binglan's voice came through.

"Wifey, I miss you!" Ye Chen said coquettishly.

"Hmm?" Su Binglan sounded somewhat surprised.

"I'm so seriously injured, and you didn't even come to see me, it really breaks my heart." Ye Chen complained. He had been recuperating at Li Yan's place for a week, and Su Binglan hadn't come to see him once.

"May I ask who you are?" Su Binglan also cooed.

"..." Ye Chen's face stiffened as it pressed against the phone.

"Excuse me, sir, who are you?" Su Binglan asked.

"Sorry, I dialed the wrong number!" Ye Chen was ready to hang up the phone.

"Don't hang up!" Su Binglan hastily said. "You scoundrel, only now you remember to call me, you're the one without a conscience, you're the one who broke my heart!"

"Didn't you not recognize me?" Ye Chen laughed. This Su Witch was pretending to have lost her memory.

"I am angry!" Su Binglan said coldly.

"What's wrong, who annoyed you?"

"It's all because of you, you almost got yourself killed without telling me!" Su Binglan said angrily. "Even if you were to die, the least you could do is let me know where you died, so I could come and claim your body!"
