Best Young Master
Chapter 636 - 566: Just How Strong Is He?

Chapter 636: Chapter 566: Just How Strong Is He?

The terrifying killing intent swept across Arena No. 2 like an icy tide.

Spectating cultivators around the arena were terrified, feeling as if they were in a cold cellar, shivering from head to toe.

Even the referee from group two felt a palpitation.

"Could it be... could it be that the battle to the death between the disciple of the Evil Emperor and Emperor Bai is about to start early?"

Shocked, the crowd couldn’t help but silently question themselves.

"Brother Ye, as the saying goes, ’vengeance is a dish best served cold.’ Let’s let him jump around for now, and when the top ten round-robin competition comes, we’ll finish him off!"

Seeing that a great battle was about to break out, Lv Zhan spoke, breaking the silence without fear of Emperor Bai.

Ye Fan, knowing it wasn’t the time to have a decisive battle to the death with Emperor Bai, withdrew his gaze.

Emperor Bai, seeing this, also withdrew his gaze but did not restrain the killing intent emanating from him. Like a god of death, he moved, and people all around hurriedly cleared a path.

"Emperor Bai is so terrifying, does the disciple of the Evil Emperor really have the strength to fight him?"

Sensing the terrifying killing intent of Emperor Bai, the observing cultivators couldn’t help but secretly question themselves.

Without an answer, Ye Fan and Lv Zhan left side by side, heading toward Arena No. 1.

On Arena No. 1, Su Liuli in a white robe was competing against a disciple of the Ba Gua Sect.

The Ba Gua Sect was once a renowned sect within the Huaxia Cultivation World, famous for their ultimate skill, the Ba Gua Palm.

Two instruments generate four symbols, and four symbols generate the eight trigrams.

The Ba Gua Palm focuses on palm techniques, with eight basic palms corresponding to the eight trigrams. When striking, it requires walking in a circle using stepping and hooking motions to cover all eight directions, unlike regular fist techniques that move in a straight line or towards points on a square, hence the name "Ba Gua Palm."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

On the arena, the disciple from the Ba Gua Sect clearly grasped the essence of the Ba Gua Palm; his footwork was mystifying and unpredictable, his palm strikes fierce, shattering the air with each strike, causing a continuous barrage of sonic booms.

Facing the Ba Gua Sect disciple’s tidal wave of attacks, Su Liuli did not make a move but simply kept dodging.

"Huh, could it be that the heir of the Buddhist Supreme Bodhi Wu Yin and I have the same taste? Treating the competition like a game?"

Seeing Su Liuli, who was clearly much stronger, only dodge and not attack, Lv Zhan was first taken aback, then spoke with self-admiration.

"Originally, the contestants in Group One chose to concede, but the heir of the Buddhist Supreme encouraged them to go all out and showcase their sect’s martial arts."

Among the crowd, a cultivator who heard Lv Zhan’s words blurted out a response, then turned his head and saw Ye Fan and Lv Zhan, pausing in surprise.

Simultaneously, many of the spectating cultivators noticed the two and turned to look.

To this, Ye Fan paid no mind, his gaze fixed unflinchingly on the graceful figure on the arena.

"Lady Su is truly powerful, I admit defeat graciously,"

Soon, the Ba Gua Sect disciple finished demonstrating a complete set of Ba Gua Palm techniques and stopped his attack, bowing his hands in concession.

Su Liuli returned the gesture with a smile and then, with a leap, jumped off the platform and approached Ye Fan and Lv Zhan.

"Why are you here?" Su Liuli asked Ye Fan with a hint of surprise.

"Miss Su, you can’t just treat me like I’m invisible!" Before Ye Fan could speak, Lv Zhan interjected with a tone of frustration.

"He is the Lv Family’s successor, Lv Zhan."

Ye Fan casually set up a Soundproof Array and introduced Lv Zhan to Su Liuli with a wry smile. Then, seeing Lv Zhan reaching out for a handshake with Su Liuli, he stepped in between and continued, "I heard that your opponents all want to concede, but you insisted on sparring with them to accumulate combat experience?"

"Mm."

Su Liuli nodded and sighed, "Although my master passed on his power to me, I had not fought anyone before coming here, just slain some mutant beasts. I’m lacking in combat experience, so I’m taking the opportunity of the knockout rounds to hone my skills."

"So, we’re not quite on the same page..."

Lv Zhan appeared a bit disappointed, then a thought struck him, and his eyes lit up as he said, "Lady Su, if you don’t mind, I’m willing to be your sparring partner for free—and I’ll keep at it until dawn!"

"Brother Lv, you wouldn’t be considered mute if you kept silent!" Ye Fan frowned and gave Lv Zhan a stern look.

"Just kidding, just kidding. One should not covet a friend’s wife; I understand that!"

Lv Zhan chuckled, then hesitated for a moment before his smile faded and he seriously said, "Miss Su, although you have a high realm and strong power, based on your recent matches, your fight experience is quite lacking. If ever you face Emperor Bai or Leng Feng, chances are you will be in great danger."

Ye Fan also noted this and after a moment of thought, he said, "If you feel there is danger during the match, concede in time."

"Don’t worry, I will be fine."

Su Liuli said with a calm smile, "What I received from my master isn’t just power, but also includes martial arts insight and combat experience. If I wish, I can use my master’s combat experience at any time."

"No wonder my grandfather once said that Master Bodhi Wu Yin’s comprehension is the best of our age. It’s indeed as legendary as they say, to have created such a heaven-defying Inheritance Secret Technique!"

Lv Zhan’s mouth fell open in shock, "If you use Master Bodhi Wu Yin’s combat experience, it’s akin to transforming into the Gang Qi Introduction Realm Master Bodhi Wu Yin. You would absolutely dominate everyone!"

Ye Fan too was visibly astonished, marveling at the magical Inheritance Secret Technique created by Bodhi Wu Yin.

"Miss Su, if that’s the case, why do you still wish to temper your own combat experience? Could it be that using Master Wu Yin’s combat experience could affect your future cultivation?"

It must be said that as a prodigy of the Lv family, Lv Zhan had sharp insights. Although he was not aware of the drawbacks of the Inheritance Technique, he had nearly hit the mark with his guess.

"My master’s greatest wish is for me to rely on great perseverance and wisdom to break the imprint left by the Inheritance Technique and forge my own path, then explore that unknown domain. If I use my master’s combat experience in battle, it is indeed powerful, but it would deepen my master’s influence over me, making the path ahead even harder. Therefore, unless it’s absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t resort to using my master’s combat experience."

Seeing that Ye Fan was also looking at her, Su Liuli did not hide anything and openly shared the secret. Then, changing the subject, she continued, "Of course, if I encounter some jerks, I wouldn’t mind using my master’s combat experience."

"Miss Su... I take back my previous offer, you should just have Brother Ye be your sparring partner!" said Lv Zhan, shivering at the thought.

Ye Fan let out a silent sigh.

He knew that the person Su Liuli referred to as ’deserving a slap’ was none other than people like Emperor Bai and Jiang Ying.

"Treat this competition as a trial, I’ll handle those people," Ye Fan said after a moment’s thought.

"Mhm."

Su Liuli nodded lightly, the corners of her lips curling into a smile brimming with happiness.

For her, accepting the inheritance early was solely to help Ye Fan with his troubles. Now that Ye Fan could handle it himself, she was naturally happy to be the little woman being protected.

A few minutes later, Ye Fan dismantled the Soundproof Array and returned to their respective arenas with Lv Zhan.

"The disciple of the Evil Emperor has arrived!"

"I heard that in his previous fight with Wang Kun, he revealed his true strength. He broke through Wang Kun’s killing move with just his bare hands and Martial Arts Cultivation, and then quickly disabled Wang Kun, stunning everyone!"

"I’ve always felt that the Evil Emperor’s Disciple was hiding his strength; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to make a life-or-death pact with the Little Saber King Bai Di..."

"Damn, a Monday Morning Quarterback, when will you ever change your habit of boasting?"

In a short amount of time, the news of Ye Fan maiming Wang Kun spread like a whirlwind across the square, sparking heated discussions.

The cultivators who came to watch the matches turned to look at Ye Fan and Lv Zhan as they approached.

However——

All of this had no effect on Emperor Bai.

Just like before, when Ye Fan passed by arena number two, Emperor Bai still looked at Ye Fan with murderous intent, as if he were gazing upon a dead man.

Not just Emperor Bai, but Leng Feng and Jiang Ying also did not take the battle between Ye Fan and Wang Kun seriously.

Firstly, although Wang Kun had performed well in the Attack Power test, he did not catch their Dharma Eye, and they hadn’t even bothered to remember his name.

As a result, Wang Kun was naturally incapable of highlighting Ye Fan’s strength.

Furthermore, in their eyes, Ye Fan’s aura was still at the Innate Great Perfection Realm; how much stronger could he be?

"Hmph, defeating a nobody who doesn’t even count as a seed player is hardly worth boasting about," Yuan Feng said, also dismissing the matter as inconsequential. In fact, he yelled disdainfully as Ye Fan and Lv Zhan passed by the seventh arena.

"This idiot is too arrogant, if he encounters me before he meets you, Brother Ye, I’ll definitely leave a shoe print on his face!"

Yuan Feng’s repeated provocations irritated Lv Zhan to the point that he made such a remark.

Ye Hei and Wu Zi, the two mysterious seed players, had some emotional fluctuations after learning about Ye Fan’s astonishing combat record and encountering him once again.

Among them, Ye Hei’s honest smile became tinged with excitement, seemingly very much looking forward to a battle with Ye Fan!

Wu Zi, on the other hand, grew more solemn.

He became even more convinced that Ye Fan was concealing his strength and was much more powerful than he had imagined!

As for... Xiao Selang.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated by a Shaolin Disciple from his group and was the only seed player to be eliminated, causing quite a stir!

After Ye Fan returned to the tenth arena, the competitor vying for the cycle race qualification with him straightforwardly chose to forfeit.

This left Lv Zhan, who had come to watch Ye Fan’s match, quite frustrated.

But Ye Fan’s mind was clear as a mirror.

He knew that the other party’s direct choice to forfeit was due to lack of strength, and also because Ye Fan had previously taught the widely detested Wang Kun a harsh lesson, which made the other competitors in group ten grateful and naturally unwilling to challenge him superfluously.

"For the vast majority of participants, the end of the elimination round signifies the end of their competition," Lv Zhan couldn’t help but remark as he looked at the faces of the eliminated players, filled with disappointment, "But for us, the real battle is just beginning."

"Mhm."

Ye Fan nodded in agreement; for seed players, the elimination round was merely a warm-up, and aside from the eliminated Xiao Selang, the others had essentially hidden their strengths.

"Brother Ye, guess what I look forward to the most in this Qing bang competition?" Lv Zhan suddenly asked with a hint of mystery.

"Winning the championship?" Ye Fan responded promptly, which was almost every contestant’s wish.

"If it was three months ago, that would indeed have been my biggest anticipation, but not now," Lv Zhan shook his head lightly, then looked at Ye Fan full of expectation, "What I really want to know now is—how strong is your actual strength??"
