Chapter 626: Chapter 556 Ye Fan’s Test

Ever since Lv Zhan personally witnessed Ye Fan using the opportunity provided by the Dan Tribulation at Ao Xiang Villa to absorb and refine Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from the tribulation at a rate nearly a hundred times that of a cultivator at the same realm, thereby breaking through his realm, Lv Zhan held no more contempt for Ye Fan.

On the contrary, he believed Ye Fan was an even more demon-like existence than both himself and Emperor Bai—if only Ye Fan were given enough time, he would certainly surpass the younger generation!

Moreover, he felt that since Ye Fan dared to set up a life-and-death battle agreement with Emperor Bai and unhesitatingly participate in this Qing bang competition, he must possess some unknown trump card.

He was filled with curiosity about Ye Fan’s trump card.

Similarly, he was curious to see if Ye Fan could create the strongest combat power within the Innate Great Perfection Realm!

The anticipation wasn’t just from Lv Zhan alone—whether it was the cultivators on the square or those participants who had entered the Tian Shan Sword Sect, as well as some influential figures, all of them were filled with expectation for Ye Fan’s upcoming test result!

However—

They were different from Lv Zhan.

Among them, the cultivators on the square and the participants who had entered the Tian Shan Sword Sect were hoping to confirm if their judgment was correct—whether Ye Fan was indeed the weakest among the top ten seed participants of the Qing bang competition!

And those influential figures wanted to know what Ye Fan relied on to dare challenge Emperor Bai, the first among the younger generation!

For a while, the vast Tian Shan Sword Sect’s square quieted down once more, with Ye Fan replacing Lv Zhan as the center of attention.

Realizing that he was locked in by numerous intents and faced with those gazes, Ye Fan’s heart remained as still as a ripple-less lake. He strode towards the Trial Tablet.

"What’s going on? What does he want to do?"

Ye Fan’s actions once again caused everyone to be taken aback.

They all knew very well that Ye Fan was skilled in Magic and Manipulation Stream, and if he wanted to test his strength, there was no need to approach the Trial Tablet—he could simply activate a Mind Control Magic Tool for the attack.

"Could it be... Could it be that the disciple of the Evil Emperor intends to test his Martial Arts Cultivation?"

Watching Ye Fan steadily approaching the Trial Tablet without stopping his steps, someone speculated and exclaimed in surprise.

"His strength lies in Magic, but now he wants to test his Martial Arts Cultivation? What does this mean?"

Someone agreed with this guess, but was very puzzled.

"Isn’t that obvious? He knows his power is the weakest among the top ten seed participants, so he’s deliberately using Martial Arts Cultivation to test himself. That way, even if the test result is poor, outsiders can’t say anything, and they’ll only know his true power when the competition starts."

A cultivator, convinced of Ye Fan’s low strength, confidently claimed, feeling quite smug with themselves as if they’d spoken an incontrovertible truth.

"That must be the case, otherwise there’s no reason for him to test with Martial Arts Cultivation!"

"Not necessarily. You see, he has a life-and-death battle agreement with Emperor Bai. If he has to use such a shameful tactic to protect the dignity of an Evil Emperor’s Disciple and a seed participant during the test, wouldn’t it be more embarrassing when his true colors are revealed at the start of the competition? I personally think there is something odd about this, and it’s not yet the time to make a final judgment. Everything will only be clear after he has finished the test."

...

Before Ye Fan even began his test, the square that was once quiet erupted into noise once again, with everyone airing their views, expressing their opinions.

Half a minute later, Ye Fan arrived in front of the Trial Tablet. All other chatter ceased to exist, and the square was quiet once again, with everyone motionless, staring at Ye Fan.

"The old man said that now, without using martial arts, my full-force punch possesses the Attack Power of a Half-step Gang Qi realm Cultivator. It’s time to use this magical Trial Tablet to test it!"

In front of the Trial Tablet, Ye Fan disregarded the surrounding talk. With a calm expression, he thought this to himself as he quietly clenched his right fist.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment.

Under everyone’s watchful eye, Ye Fan swung his right fist with all his might, slamming it into the Trial Tablet!

"Crack crack crack crack..."

As the punch was thrown, the force of the punch stirred up the air, creating consecutive explosion sounds as the air in front of the Trial Tablet shattered, forming a temporary vacuum.

"Bang—"

Then, like the striking of a bell, the sound echoed across the square. A condensed force surged and erupted from Ye Fan’s right fist, hitting the Trial Tablet.

The Trial Tablet shook violently, its internal Formation activated, and runes started to light up.

One, two, three...

Time seemed to slow at that moment, with everyone unable to look away from the Trial Tablet, watching as one rune after another lit up.

A moment later, the test result appeared—the Trial Tablet lit up with seventy-five runes!

"Er..."

At that moment, the vast Tian Shan Sword Sect square fell into dead silence. The cultivators widened their eyes, motionless as they stared at the Trial Tablet, hardly believing this result was real.

Not only them, but also the participants who had entered the Tian Shan Sword Sect early and were watching from the upper pavilions all wore expressions as if they’d seen a ghost.

Even Lv Zhan, Ye Hei, and Wu Zi were clearly taken aback.

All this, because seventy-five runes constituted a threshold; anyone who could reach this value was proven to possess the Attack Power of a Half-step Gang Qi realm Cultivator!

"How can the Martial Arts Cultivation of the Evil Emperor’s Disciple, who is only at the Innate Great Perfection Realm, be so strong?"

In shock, a cultivator on the square unconsciously blurted out, their eyes nearly popping out as if they wanted a clearer view to ensure they hadn’t made a mistake.

Why?

Above the square, the cultivators all wore looks of bewilderment.

They were members of minor sects with weak strength and limited experience.

In their understanding, although Half-step Gang Qi realm meant one had only half a foot in the Gang Qi realm with the transformation of inner strength and mind power into Qi, there was still a vast chasm between this state and Innate Great Perfection. It was an insurmountable gap!

But at that moment, Ye Fan, through his actions, shattered that belief, bringing a tremendous shock to them!

Why?

Aside from Lv Zhan, the participating competitors’ first thought was of the killing move ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’ created by Chu Xuanji.

In their view, it was only with the use of such a heaven-defying move that Ye Fan could have achieved such an effect.

Lv Zhan was the exception.

His mental perception was not only stronger than the other competitors, but he was also quite close to Ye Fan.

Just now, when Ye Fan made his move, Lv Zhan did not sense any surge of evil aura.

"The absence of evil aura means he did not use the killing move ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’, so what martial arts did he use? Or to say, did he not employ any martial arts at all?"

Gazing at Ye Fan’s solitary figure, Lv Zhan couldn’t help but silently question himself.

"He probably didn’t use any martial arts!"

Soon, Lv Zhan came to such a conclusion.

Because, as far as he knew, ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’ was one of the top-tier killing moves in this world, with few others on par with it.

In such a case, if Ye Fan wanted to prove himself, he would likely use Qi Rushes to the Sky, rather than choosing any other martial arts.

"The power of a casual blow from Innate Great Perfection is comparable to an attack by a Half-step Gang Qi realm cultivator! Good heavens... What sort of monster is this guy?!"

After making his judgment, Lv Zhan was deeply shaken.

He had always been supremely confident in his own talent and strength, considering himself second to none, including Emperor Bai among the younger generation, and thus readily accepted the label of a ’demon’.

However, at this moment, facing Ye Fan, he felt defeated for the first time.

Because, in his opinion, Ye Fan had transcended the category of a ’demon’ and was beyond normal judgment!

"The disciple of the Evil Emperor, with martial arts cultivation at just Innate Great Perfection, can have an attack power on par with a Half-step Gang Qi expert. Just with this alone, he has not disgraced the name of a seeded contestant!"

"His martial arts attack is so against the heavens, if he combines it with Magic and Martial Arts, how terrifying would that be? As things stand, I am convinced, in this Qing bang competition, the one who is least likely to be at the bottom among the top ten seeds is definitely not the Evil Emperor’s Disciple!"

"Indeed, he is definitely not weaker than the martial arts genius of Tian Shan Sword Sect, Xiao Selang!"

As Lv Zhan was deeply shaken, the square once again filled with discussions, with the vast majority of people believing Ye Fan’s strength was not inferior to Xiao Selang.

"How is this possible? Could it be... has he cultivated the killing move ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’ to an extremely high realm?"

Xiao Selang, who previously felt humiliated by being disregarded by Ye Hei, stood in a pavilion, staring fixedly at Ye Fan’s solitary back, his eyes filled with reluctance to accept this.

Because he was too far from Ye Fan and his mental perception was not as strong as Lv Zhan’s, he did not know that when Ye Fan made his move, there was no surge of evil aura around him. He subjectively believed that Ye Fan had used ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’.

Despite this, he was hit hard!

Firstly, he clearly saw that when Ye Fan made his move, he did not wear the High-level Magical Artifact Black Iron Fist set, relying solely on his strength—if Ye Fan wore the Black Iron Fist set, his attack power would have doubled, and would not be weaker than his own when he was testing his attack power!

More importantly, Ye Fan was adept at the Manipulation Stream of Magic, with martial arts cultivation as only an auxiliary. And now, with such strong martial arts cultivation, if Magic and Martial Arts were combined, even if he had comprehended the Heavenly Sword’s Seventh Form: Thunder Sword, he would have been thoroughly abused!

After all, martial arts plus magic far exceed the simple sum of one plus one. They would multiply.

Regarding this, Xiao Selang had a profound experience during his last confrontation with Ye Fan.

However—

Despite understanding all this, he could not accept it. Now, hearing the overwhelming discussions around the square, he trembled with anger, his face livid with fury, feeling as if Ye Fan had slapped him hard in front of everyone.

By comparison, Wu Zi and Ye Hei, although they were also alarmed by Ye Fan’s actions, quickly regained their composure.

It seemed as though Ye Fan’s current display of power was still not enough to be taken seriously by them, not even qualifying as an opponent.

"These two self-important fools will probably end up being slapped in the face like Yuan Feng, the idiot from three months ago!"

Seeing the changes in expression of Ye Hei and Wu Zi, Lv Zhan, who believed in his own judgment, thought pensively.

"Heh, with that level of attack power, he dares to call himself a seeded contestant?"

Just then, a mocking voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the square.

As the voice fell, a figure appeared!

With unbridled arrogance, Yuan Feng made his entrance into everyone’s sight.

"Speak of the idiot, and the idiot arrives... how timely for this fool to show up..."

Upon hearing the sound, Lv Zhan turned around, saw Yuan Feng’s arrogant demeanor, couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, nearly bursting into laughter.
