Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 319 - 317: Beating Up Guo Tao

Chapter 319: Chapter 317: Beating Up Guo Tao

Xiao Ye’s inner Xuandan, was like a dazzling star, its simultaneous eruption unleashed an unparalleled power that swept across the All Heavens World, profoundly shocking and making hearts tremble in awe.

A golden fist shattered the ages, and the attacks of those three youths were directly destroyed by one punch. The twenty-seven Domineering Dragon Qi roared towards the heavens, stirring in this realm and continued surging forward.

"Not good!"

The three youths were stunned, facing the assaulting Domineering Dragon Qi, one of them gritted his teeth and pushed his strength to the Peak, forming a defense, while the other two forcibly moved away, trying to avoid the attack of the Domineering Dragon Qi.

Puchi!

Puchi!

Puchi!

But it was all in vain, Xiao Ye’s punch was too strong, perfectly leveraging the advantage of his three Xuandans, the three youths’ bodies violently trembled, then they were fiercely blasted away, hitting the wall and spewing fresh blood, fainting on the spot.

This was still Xiao Ye holding back some of his power at the crucial moment, otherwise, the punch would have been enough to kill all three, as Xiao Ye did not want to break the rules of the Genius Camp for these minor characters.

Seeing this scene, everyone became like statues, their expressions frozen, with only their hearts violently pounding.

Shocking!

Too shocking!

Xiao Ye’s defense was incomparable, and in terms of strength, just one punch was enough to defeat the three Ninth-Transformation Profound Martial Middle Stage geniuses. Who could match such might?

"Damn it, when did Xiao Ye become so strong, he can even be compared to the captain now!" The most shocked was Kuang Dao.

Half a year ago, it was him who assessed Xiao Ye. At that time, his Thunder Slash had not achieved Great Success, and Xiao Ye, despite exerting full effort and relying on his strong Physical Body defense, was still at a disadvantage, and the gap between their strengths was enormous.

But now, whether it’s strength or defense, Xiao Ye had reached a level that was unattainable for him. Even Kuang Dao vaguely felt that Qing Wu might not be a match for Xiao Ye anymore.

"Good, well done!" After being shocked for a moment, the Dragon Hunting Team burst into cheers.

Xiao Ye so cleanly and efficiently defeated the combined effort of the opposing trio, significantly boosting the morale of his team.

Xiao Ye smiled lightly.

Reaching the Later Stage in the Profound Martial Realm, the miraculous aspects of the Four Profound Treasure Technique had gradually begun to manifest.

Currently, he had only revived three Xuandan, and the level of these Xuandan was not too high—not yet reaching the Peak of the Nine Revolutions Profound Martial. Yet, he could display the strength of the Peak of the Nine Revolutions Profound Martial.

What about when he revives the fourth Xuandan and cultivates it to the Peak Level? Would it not be a mere talk to trample the three Great Demons under his feet?

Xiao Ye’s potential in the Profound Martial Realm was too great, and he was filled with anticipation for his future.

"How could this be, why is he so strong!" Guo Tao’s face darkened, his fists clenched with a cracking sound, roaring internally.

Such strength from Xiao Ye made even him feel a tremor in his heart.

Thud!

At this moment, Xiao Ye suddenly lifted his foot and walked towards Guo Tao, his presence overwhelming, causing Guo Tao to involuntarily take a half step back in shock.

Xiang Nan’s Team members also felt as if facing a formidable enemy.

In their eyes, Xiao Ye seemed much more terrifying than Qing Wu.

"Xiao Ye, what are you doing?" Guo Tao asked, his palms sweating.

Seeing Guo Tao’s expression, a hint of mockery appeared on Xiao Ye’s face and he said, "Guo Tao, you called our Dragon Hunting Team a rabble."

"Presumably, your strength must be very great. Let me see what grounds you have to make such a statement."

Hearing this, Guo Tao’s expression stiffened, unable to utter a word for a long time.

If Xiao Ye’s strength still qualifies him as part of a rabble, then what are the members of Xiang Nan’s Team?

"Not planning to fight back? Then I’ll have to force your hand." Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with a cold light, then he extended his palm, the power surging from his palm heart, striking towards Guo Tao’s chest.

Xiao Ye had not forgotten that during the last mission, in order to conceal the mission’s information, the other party had made a move against him. He had always remembered that account.

"Xiao Ye, don’t think that just because you’re strong, I, Guo Tao, am afraid of you!" Guo Tao bellowed, striking out with a palm as well, his powerful force surging tumultuously.

However, Xiao Ye suddenly sneered, then slightly shifted his palm, not colliding with Guo Tao’s but instead striking towards his body while operating the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, standing like a Golden Bodied War God in the arena, letting Guo Tao’s palm strike come.

"What!"

Guo Tao’s face dramatically changed, where did he expect Xiao Ye to suddenly change his move, his palm was blocked by Xiao Ye’s defense, and at the same time, Xiao Ye’s palm heavily struck Guo Tao’s abdomen, the terrifying power bursting like a tide.

Puchi!

Guo Tao cried out miserably, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying out horizontally, heavily crashing onto the ground.

"The strength is indeed not weak." Although Guo Tao’s attack did not harm Xiao Ye, it still pushed him back more than ten steps. However, compared to Guo Tao, it was much better.

The members of the two teams in the tavern were stunned, their hearts shocked. Even Guo Tao couldn’t break through Xiao Ye’s defense? That’s just too terrifying.

Was Xiao Ye deliberately tricking Guo Tao?

Xiao Ye’s invincible defense could ignore Guo Tao’s attacks, but not for Guo Tao; this style of fighting could definitely lead to Guo Tao’s demise.

With an invincible Physical Body, Xiao Ye naturally had an advantage over opponents of the same level.

"You’re shameless. Do you dare to fight me fair and square?" Guo Tao staggered up from the ground, glaring resentfully at Xiao Ye.

"Shameless? In the last bandit suppression mission, you were so much stronger than me but pretended to be weak. Why didn’t you call yourself shameless?" Xiao Ye taunted, stepping forward and slapping towards Guo Tao again.

Splat!

Guo Tao’s fists struck like Jiao Dragons emerging from the sea, both hitting Xiao Ye who completely ignored the attacks and slapped Guo Tao.

Boom!

Guo Tao was sent flying like being struck by a huge mountain. His body smashed the tavern’s doors to smithereens, landing outside on the ground.

Xiao Ye did not use his full strength, after all, he couldn’t completely ignore the rules of the Genius Camp.

"Ah!"

Guo Tao got up, trembling with rage, staring hatefully at Xiao Ye inside the tavern, yet not daring to rush in.

"If you dare to set foot in the tavern again, I’ll beat you every time I see you." Xiao Ye stepped to the entrance of the tavern and said, then turned and walked back in.

Crack, crack, crack!

Hearing Xiao Ye’s words, Guo Tao clenched his fists in anger, humiliation flooding his entire body, his complexion turning crimson.

Guo Tao, as the captain of three teams in the Genius Camp, was actually being threatened?

Could he rush into the tavern?

No, because he couldn’t break through Xiao Ye’s defense, the outcome would be the same.

"Captain..." Inside the tavern, figures flickered, and members of Xiang Nan’s Team stumbled out and came to Guo Tao’s side.

"Leave!"

Guo Tao’s expression darkened, then he turned and staggered away, no longer having the face to stay there.

"Xiao Ye, I will avenge this!" Guo Tao roared inwardly.

Inside the tavern, the Dragon Hunting Team reorganized the tables and chairs, then all eyes stayed on Xiao Ye, filled with respect.

This was a genuine respect for the strong.

"Xiao Ye, you really hid your strength well, too freakish, even Guo Tao got played by you," Kuang Dao exclaimed in amazement.

The rest of the Dragon Hunting Team nodded.

"Freakish?" Xiao Ye smiled slightly, recalling the previous exchange to understand his own defense better.

"After reaching Perfect completion of the First Level of the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body, my Physical Body’s defense can ignore the attacks of warriors at the Peak of Nine Revolutions Profound Martial, but if it’s a half-step Void Martial Realm expert, I can’t ignore them."

"As for the three monsters whose strength can match those of the Void Martial Realm experts, my Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body can probably only withstand some of their attacks."

The Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body was indeed strong, but it had its limits; the power of a Half-step Void Martial Realm expert was beyond what the First Level could withstand.

Nevertheless, the Ten Thousand Refining Golden Body still provided considerable help to Xiao Ye.

Afterwards, Xiao Ye stopped pondering these matters, chatted with the Dragon Hunting Team, and casually made up an excuse to explain his significant improvement in strength.

Since Xiao Ye had taught Guo Tao a harsh lesson, everyone in the Dragon Hunting Team was very happy; the mood was high until late at night when everyone left the tavern and returned to their respective palaces.

"Only half a month left until the assessment period. I need to fully comprehend the Fourth Martial Arts True Intent and revive the Fourth Xuandan as soon as possible!" Xiao Ye’s eyes were deep as he sat cross-legged; his consciousness entered the Time Tower and delved into intensive cultivation.

The events in the Genius Camp tavern quickly spread throughout the camp, causing significant upheaval, thanks to the deliberate publicity from Kuang Dao and the others.

At this moment, in the most central and magnificent great hall of the Genius Camp, two young men were sitting cross-legged facing each other. If Xiao Ye were there, he would recognize them as Xiang Nan and Mo Ye, both possessing special physiques.

"Even Guo Tao is no match for that kid?" Xiang Nan’s sword-like eyebrows were deeply furrowed, his cold eyes radiating chill.

"I’m also puzzled. When we made a move on him last time, his strength wasn’t particularly strong. Could this kid also have a special physique?" The evilish young Mo Ye spoke.

"Hmph, Guo Tao considers himself my follower, I can’t let this go so easily. I plan to participate in the assessment in half a month." Xiang Nan spoke coldly.

He already harbored considerable animosity towards Xiao Ye from the previous incident.

Mo Ye looked up with a laugh: "Xiang Nan, you and I think alike. I plan to participate as well; I want to see if his Physical Body’s defense is really impervious even to me."

Normally, the genius camp’s biannual assessments were not participated in by the three monsters due to their special status.

"This kid didn’t give us face, this time during the assessments, I want to see who can help him." Mo Ye stood up, gazing towards the palace outside.
