Chapter 327: Chapter 324 Conclusion

However, after unleashing that move of swordsmanship, the True Qi inside Ye Xuan’s body was instantly depleted by ninety percent. Even though he cultivated the Hidden Dragon Skill, he barely managed to sustain such intense consumption.

Typically, the more powerful the move, the greater the consumption. If Ye Xuan had not been cultivating the Hidden Dragon Skill, that sword move would not have been possible, and he would have already collapsed due to exhaustion.

Across from him, the Demon Dragon Young Master’s bodily defense was completely torn apart, a bloody sword mark shockingly appeared on his chest. The Sword Qi had not yet fully dissipated, continuously tearing at the wound and causing relentless bleeding.

"How can the power of this sword be so strong?"

With an expression of disbelief in his eyes, the Demon Dragon Young Master’s throat was dry. He could hardly believe the scene before him was real. However, no sooner had his words fallen than another mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out. The sword strike had damaged his internal organs, causing the Demon Dragon Young Master to lose at least seventy percent of his battle power.

"I can’t possibly lose!"

The eyes of the Demon Dragon Young Master were filled with unwillingness as he advanced rather than retreated, throwing a punch with the last of his strength.

Ye Xuan, calm and unafraid, raised his Spiritual Edge Sword and slashed out.

Bang!

Sword and fist collided, producing a muffled sound. At the moment of impact, both men were almost simultaneously sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. However, Ye Xuan ultimately stopped on the platform, while the Demon Dragon Young Master fell off the battle platform.

The watching crowd was already stunned, falling into utter silence.

This final battle was won by Ye Xuan!

It could be said to be both expected and unexpected!

For Ye Xuan, from the moment the Demon Dragon Young Master’s killer move was broken, the outcome had already been decided. The latter was seriously injured by the sword move. Although Ye Xuan’s consumption was enormous, the remaining ten percent of his True Qi was enough to execute another powerful sword move, sufficient to defeat the enemy and secure victory.

But for the vast crowd of Sky Demon Mountain, Ye Xuan’s victory was undoubtedly unexpected. They had never anticipated this outcome. After all, the Demon Dragon Young Master had been so dominant and unstoppable, leaving a deep impression on them. Yet such a powerful Demon Dragon Young Master ultimately lost to Ye Xuan, the shock of it was earth-shattering.

"It’s too terrifying; Ye Xuan is too strong, defeating the nine great masters of Sky Demon Mountain. Even the Demon Dragon Young Master couldn’t escape."

"Yes, look, even those seven Demon Venerables are stunned."

"Could they not be? The peak talents of various summits all defeated by a newcomer, the impact is too great."

On the high platform, the Demon Dragon Venerable looked somewhat absent-mindedly at the battle platform. Since the Demon Dragon Young Master advanced to the Demon King realm, this had been the first time. The shock of the Demon Dragon Young Master losing to Ye Xuan was too great, so much so that he couldn’t believe his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating, shaking his head, yet upon realizing the reality, his expression quickly darkened.

Those twenty thousand merit points were nothing, the key point was that the Demon Dragon Young Master was his son, always the regal supreme of Sky Demon Mountain’s younger generation. Now that position had been taken by Ye Xuan, how could he not be furious?

"Where exactly did this boy come from?"

The Demon Dragon Venerable’s gaze was fixed on Ye Xuan, trying to discern something from him, but ultimately it was in vain; at least on the surface, there was nothing suspicious about Ye Xuan.

As for the other Demon Venerables, except for Huoyou Demon Venerable who was in a very good mood, others, especially the Sky Fox Demon Venerable, showed a faint smile on their face. Ye Xuan defeating the Demon Dragon Young Master was like a harsh blow to the aura of the Demon Dragon Venerable. After all, in Sky Demon Mountain, only the Demon Dragon Venerable and he were true Demon Venerables, and the two had never really seen eye to eye. If the Demon Dragon Young Master had won this competition, it wouldn’t have boded well for him or even for Heavenly Fox Peak.

"Huoyou Demon Venerable, truly congratulations to you, you’ve gained an exceptional genius, you should cultivate him well," Peng Venerable, who was close to Huoyou Demon Venerable, sincerely congratulated the latter. Her subordinate had produced such a formidable talent, his congratulations were indeed heartfelt.

"Hehe, truth be told, even I didn’t anticipate this result; this is all due to his own strength."

Huoyou Demon Venerable shook her head. She had only met Ye Xuan once; let alone cultivating him. This dazzling performance and victory of Ye Xuan had surprised her the most.

Peng Venerable also smiled without speaking; his words were definitely true. Ye Xuan had only been in Sky Demon Mountain for a few months, this mastery couldn’t possibly be the result of a few months of training by Huoyou Demon Venerable. Saying so wouldn’t have been believable to anyone.

"Hmph, where does such a strong newcomer come from? We must thoroughly investigate Ye Xuan’s background; he shouldn’t be a spy from another power infiltrating us."

Demon Dragon Venerable looked at Ye Xuan with a sinister gaze and snorted heavily.

"Demon Dragon Venerable must be joking. If Ye Xuan were a spy, he would have kept a low profile to conceal himself instead of participating so prominently in the Genius Competition and even securing first place. Moreover, what power could possibly send such a spy to our Sky Demon Mountain? That would indeed be a grand move."

Huoyou Demon Venerable maintained her smile, though her eyes had cooled considerably. In her view, Demon Dragon Venerable was clearly making a mountain out of a molehill. A spy? Where would such an exceptional spy come from? Even if a power possessed such a genius, would they really send him to be a spy?

Even if so, what would be the benefit?

"The thoughts of a spy are not something you or I can fathom. Maybe it’s intentional, to conceal by being overt," Demon Dragon Venerable replied coldly.

Hearing such relentless words, Huoyou Demon Venerable’s expression also turned frosty. In her heart, she scoffed. Was it necessary to cling so desperately just because Ye Xuan had beaten your son to first place?

"Enough, if he is a spy, he will eventually show his true colors. There’s no need for baseless arguments here." Seeing the atmosphere stiffening, Sky Fox Demon Venerable also came forward to mediate. He too found Demon Dragon Venerable’s poor sportsmanship quite distasteful, but maintained a polite facade, since it was inappropriate to be too confrontational.

Upon hearing this, Demon Dragon Venerable snorted again and his chilly gaze fell upon Ye Xuan, shimmering with unknown thoughts.

"This guy, he actually made it this far."

At this moment, Linglong felt quite indescribable. What she had said to Demon Dragon Young Master earlier was just out of a moment’s irritation. Who could have thought that Ye Xuan would actually defeat the Demon Dragon Young Master and win the competition?

And Ye Xuan himself was merely a Fourth Grade Demon King...

Logically speaking, there should be a significant gap in strength at each grade level, with only true geniuses capable of fighting across levels. Like the Demon Dragon Young Master, who had just stepped into the Seventh Grade Demon King Realm, he could defeat many masters at the pinnacle of the Seventh Grade, though he was no match for a Half-step Demon Venerable.

But for Ye Xuan to defeat an enemy across three minor grades was extremely rare and marked him as an ultimate genius, unmatched in both potential and talent compared to the Demon Dragon Young Master.

"The champion of the competition..."

Yu Yi’s feelings, as she watched Ye Xuan, were equally complex; a mix of astonishment and irritation. She was irritated that Ye Xuan had kept his true capabilities so hidden, considering that when he first entered Skyfire Hall, he seemed no different from her, yet his true combat strength was so intimidating.

However, Ye Xuan couldn’t be blamed since his strength was indeed only slightly superior to Yu Yi’s before. His rapid advancement had happened only recently. Moreover, having been a Supreme of the Heavenly Realm Martial God in his previous life, no one could fully estimate the extent of his potential.

The competition had ended, but the aftermath was still unfolding. In the following days, Ye Xuan’s name undoubtedly became the most frequently spoken among everyone at Sky Demon Mountain, and his final battle with the Demon Dragon Young Master turned into a classic duel, providing ample gossip for many.

Such a sensational event had not occurred on Sky Demon Mountain for a long time. The popular topic stirred by Ye Xuan was likely to linger for quite some time.

Since then, Ye Xuan’s popularity on Sky Demon Mountain had surged, with many admiring him. Compared to the extremely arrogant Demon Dragon Young Master, Ye Xuan gave off a calm and amiable vibe, like a breath of spring air, making many young female demons’ hearts flutter.

However, this popularity seemed troublesome to Ye Xuan, but fortunately he resided in Skyfire Hall, where these matters were managed by Yu Yi. After a few stern threats from her, the number of people coming to Skyfire Hall looking for Ye Xuan rapidly decreased.

Yu Yi was famously ruthless and spared no one, instilling fear in many of Sky Demon Mountain’s younger generation.

With these troubles handled by others, Ye Xuan was happy to relax. After the competition, he was focused on recuperating within Skyfire Hall, as the final battle had nearly depleted all his True Qi, which needed to be replenished promptly to avoid potential problems.

Three days had unknowingly passed since the end of the Genius Competition, and Ye Xuan’s body had recovered about forty to fifty percent.

However, on the fifth night, while Ye Xuan was still meditating, his room door was suddenly pushed open.

Although Ye Xuan’s eyes were closed, his hearing remained sharp. The sudden intrusion made him immediately open his eyes. The figure entering was a graceful silhouette—Yu Yi.

"What are you doing in my room at this hour of the night?"

Somewhat baffled, Ye Xuan looked at Yu Yi and noticed that she seemed different from usual, as if she had carefully dressed up for the occasion. She wore a light yellow dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure, revealing her smooth, fair arms. Her hair naturally cascaded down her slim waist, not reaching her knees, leaving her shapely legs visible.

Yu Yi was already extremely beautiful, but at that moment, she seemed even more enchanting, like a natural seductress, irresistibly alluring.
