Chapter 372: Chapter 368 But I Understand

Ye Zhen defeated Yem Yuan with just two moves, which caught everyone by surprise.

In the eyes of many, given Yem Yuan’s previously demonstrated formidable strength, the odds of Ye Zhen winning were incredibly slim, especially considering that Ye Zhen’s Cultivation was at the Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage.

In fact, these people’s predictions were mostly correct.

Because Ye Zhen’s proudly used Floating Cloud Finger was almost completely caught by Yem Yuan. If Ye Zhen’s Cultivation had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm Fifth Stage, then his Floating Cloud Finger would have surely killed Yem Yuan.

Their predictions were correct, but they did not account for Ye Zhen having many backup strategies, ultimately establishing his victory through a Divine Soul Attack.

This speed was unbelievable even for that small part of Martial Artists who believed Ye Zhen would win.

They somehow believed Ye Zhen would win, but could never have imagined it would be so effortlessly.

Ye Zhen’s victory made many people’s previous predictions about the Black Dragon Ranking somewhat embarrassing.

According to their forecast, the first place in the Black Dragon Ranking was supposed to be contested between Caiyi and Huaa Wushuang.

But now, with Ye Zhen on a seven-win streak and Huaa Wushuang maintaining a record of five wins and two losses due to Mo Xinsui leveraging Heavenly authority, the scenario had shifted drastically.

Even if Ye Zhen were to lose consecutively against Caiyi and Huaa Wushuang, and if Huaa Wushuang won all his next matches, the score between the two would still require a tiebreaker to decide the second place on the Black Dragon Ranking.

As for the first place in the Black Dragon Ranking, there wasn’t much suspense at this point—it was Caiyi.

This calm-faced girl, unrenowned and even not well-known in Black Water Kingdom.

The Black Dragon Ranking was never just a Martial Arts fest for Martial Artists; every session of the Black Dragon Ranking influenced the political landscape of various nations, especially as those who ranked first, once fully developed, are inevitably influential figures who could sway the world’s situation.

As the first place in the Black Dragon Ranking gradually emerged, streams of Talisman Communications, like meteors, rose from the ancient Black Dragon Land, flying towards the communication hubs in each kingdom before finally heading towards the capitals of those nations.

Then, streams of Talisman Communications flew out from the capitals of these nations, all heading towards Black Water Kingdom.

Spies from various nations embedded within Black Water Kingdom, both covert and overt agents, awakened from dormancy, all seeking any information on the mysterious girl, Caiyi.

With Mo Xinsui straightforwardly overwhelming Huaa Wushuang and Ye Zhen swiftly defeating Yem Yuan, another spectacle was added to today’s Martial competitions.

Concede!

Previously, most Martial Artists would actively concede to Caiyi and Huaa Wushuang, but now, they would have to include two more people: Mo Xinsui and Ye Zhen.

Of course, this was also related to Ye Zhen essentially finishing his fights against strong opponents.

As for Mo Xinsui, the reason is simple.

As long as the dark clouds overhead remain, who would dare to provoke Mo Xinsui’s bad luck? Moreover, Mo Xinsui’s own strength is formidable.

Of course, this dark cloud overhead, for several Martial Artists, such as Leng Tao, Bi Zheng, and Lul Bei, merely firmed up their initial hesitation—decisively choosing to concede against Mo Xinsui.

However, for Bu Changtian, he wished he could turn into a giant dragon and blow away the clouds in the sky.

Just yesterday, in the first round, Bu Changtian suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Ye Zhen, with his Divine Soul seriously damaged and his combat power greatly reduced.

Bu Changtian, known as Hand Extreme, hadn’t earned his widespread reputation solely through strength; his intellect and wisdom were indispensable.

Therefore, after the crushing defeat by Ye Zhen’s hands and the damage to his combat power yesterday, Bu Changtian made the wisest choice.

Challenge the weak!

Actively challenge those Martial Artists whose Cultivation was obviously weaker than his.

Like Bi Zheng, Leng Tao, and Lul Bei, he was confident he could easily defeat them.

By challenging the weaker ones first to secure a victory, he was buying time, striving to recover more strength for a greater victory.

However, he unexpectedly encountered his Sect brother, Zuo Bin, whose ambition and discontent led Bu Changtian to suffer another severe injury.

Having no choice, he could only decide to challenge Caiyi to buy time to recover his combat capabilities.

Of course, in his view, he had no chance against Caiyi’s terrifying Divine Soul Attack, and he even doubted whether Caiyi’s Divine Soul Attack could directly annihilate him.

Thus, Bu Changtian endured the gloomy first day with a record of four wins and two losses. After a night’s recovery, his combat power had recovered more than ninety percent, and originally, he wanted to demonstrate his skills fully.

But now, he found his future appeared bleak.

The second day originally had five rounds of matches, but because Tao Hui was killed by Ye Zhen, apart from Ye Zhen himself, others had only four rounds of matches.

In the first round, Bu Changtian’s opponent was Bai Xin, a strong fighter whose style made Bu Changtian almost burst with frustration. Still, he eventually won.

However, as the second round started, Bu Changtian started to feel desperate.

He still had three opponents.

Huaa Wushuang, Yem Yuan, and Mo Xinsui!

In Bu Changtian’s original plan, he didn’t see much hope against Huaa Wushuang, but now, given Huaa Wushuang’s severe injuries, he saw a glimmer of possibility, though it was very faint.

According to the Sect Elders’ prediction, he had up to a sixty percent chance of winning against Yem Yuan, but as Yem Yuan’s geomagnetic field was exposed, his odds of winning got lower and lower.

Originally, he was most confident about defeating Mo Xinsui, nearly ninety percent or even more.

As the True Inheritor of Phantom Divine Sect, he was confident, especially considering that Hidden God Manor was no match for Phantom Divine Sect.

But the dense clouds in the sky had shattered the only hope Bu Changtian was confident of winning.

Now, Bu Changtian only hoped when his turn came to fight Mo Xinsui, the clouds in the sky would disperse. He hoped to buy time, hoping that by the final match he could confront Mo Xinsui decisively.

When the fourth round came, and noon had passed, the sun was shining brightly. Perhaps the sunlight could disperse the clouds above.

Indeed, Bu Changtian was very clever, but others were not foolish either.

For instance, Mo Xinsui knew that his greatest advantage at this moment was timing.

Timing was unpredictable, and the clouds could clear at any moment to reveal the sun, so he definitely had to maximize his advantage in the shortest time possible.

Unfortunately, except for Huaa Wushuang, the strongest of his opponents had all fought yesterday, and now, his most formidable opponent was only Bu Changtian.

As for the others, even without the timing, he could easily triumph.

"Brother Bu, the sunlight is just right, it’s time for the two of us to have a match."

If given a choice, Bu Changtian would definitely not want to hear these words. Mo Xinsui’s statement was like a demon’s sound, shattering his last sliver of hope.

In the sky, the clouds were dense!

At this moment, Huaa Wushuang felt an urge to vomit blood. The opportunity each person had to challenge six times had already been used up by him, and now, he was eligible to be challenged.

He had no choice!

"Brother Bu, please?"

Seeing Hand Extreme Bu Changtian not ascending the Dragon Head Arena, Mo Xinsui urged him again, his tone unusually relaxed.

"Bu Changtian, if you don’t come up to fight, it will be considered a concession!" Qing Yii’s voice resounded in the sky.

"I.... concede!"

When he uttered these three words, Bu Changtian’s face turned even darker than the bottom of a pot.

Still, what Huaa Wushuang could endure, he, Bu Changtian, might not be able to endure.

Huaa Tianshuang could endure a Heavenly Thunder struck down by Mo Xinsui without dying, but if it were Bu Changtian, he might have turned to ashes.

To concede was the best and the only choice!

There’s a saying that heaven does not favor the brave!

When he saw a ray of sunlight shoot through the thick clouds, Bu Changtian suddenly felt the urge to vomit blood.

He had just been forced into conceding by Mo Xinsui, and now the sky-full of clouds showed signs of dispersing.

Half an hour later, when the second round of the next day ended and entered a two-hour rest period, Bu Changtian really felt like spitting blood.

Looking at the blazing sun high in the sky, blood qi surged inside Bu Changtian. Because of the unresolved anger in his chest, Bu Changtian’s abundant blood qi moved around inside his body like blood pearls, turning his face instantly red as if it were dripping blood.

If not for the timely assistance from Sect Elder Hongfeng to calm his blood qi, Bu Changtian might have gone berserk on the spot, spewing blood fiercely.

It was indeed infuriating.

Only half an hour after he conceded, where was the shadow of any cloud in the sky now?

"Changtian, it’s just fate!"

"Not everyone can always have smooth sailing! After this setback, as long as you can regain your former confidence, it may well be your opportunity to breakthrough the Soul Sea!" Sect Elder Hongfeng said.

In a corner of the Black Dragon Ancient Land, Housekeeper Huaa perpetually looked around. Before each martial artist went on stage, Housekeeper Huaa could not help but glance at Ye Zhen.

He worried that Ye Zhen would take this opportunity to attack, challenging his young master Huaa Wushuang.

That bolt of Heavenly Thunder had severely damaged Huaa Wushuang, from his internals to his organs. Out of necessity, he had to use the life-extending spiritual medicine bestowed by his ancestors just to maintain his current condition.

But time!

Huaa Wushuang still needed a great deal of time to recover more combat power.

Before the fourth round, Housekeeper Huaa felt like there was a sharp blade hanging over his head, and this blade was named Ye Zhen.

He feared that Ye Zhen might challenge their young master next.

By the fourth round, Housekeeper Huaa finally breathed a sigh of relief. Under the effects of the life-extending spiritual medicine, Young Master Huaa Wushuang’s aura had stabilized, and Housekeeper Huaa estimated that about sixty percent of his combat power had returned.

Sixty percent of combat power, enough to activate the Three-colored Spiritual Mountain and force Bu Changtian to concede directly.

Sixty percent of combat power, enough for their young master to handle most dangers.

By the fourth round, Housekeeper Huaa felt that the final battle between Ye Zhen and their young master was inevitable.

In the fourth round, everyone else had only one opponent left, except for Ye Zhen, who still had two.

Caiyi and Huaa Wushuang!

Two titans!

However, Caiyi’s closeness with Ye Zhen was witnessed by everyone, and most people even thought that Ye Zhen would leave the final battle with Caiyi for the last round, the fifth round, including Housekeeper Huaa.

"Caiyi, it’s time for us to take the stage."

So, when Housekeeper Huaa heard Ye Zhen say these words, he almost couldn’t believe it, looking incredibly joyously towards his young master Huaa Wushuang.

"Young Master, that’s great, Ye Zhen is challenging Caiyi this round, not challenging you. Young Master, after this round, you can recover ten percent of your cultivation!"

Seeing his own joy, Huaa Wushuang suddenly shook his head,

"You do not understand Ye Zhen’s thoughts.... but I do!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), and monthly tickets are appreciated. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
