Ye Jingyun watched as Ye Chu stared straight at the other party’s back with even a fervent light surging in his eyes. This made her extremely puzzled. “You would not really share the same rotten tastes as him and have taken a fancy to the other party, would you?”
“Ah…” Ye Chu came back to his senses, glanced at Ye Jingyun’s long legs and said, “I just want some of his blood.”
Ye Chu thought to himself that with this Young Master Niu’s strength and talent his blood should have some effect on Xixi.
“You are sick!” Ye Jingyun glared at Ye Chu. “But he is very strong!”
Ye Chu nodded. “He should be a figure who is about to step into the Profound Life Realm.”
“This journey for you to seize the championship will probably not be easy.” Ye Jingyun said to Ye Chu. “If a few more characters like this appear it will be enough to give you a headache.”
Ye Chu did not speak and returned to the inn. Ye Jingyun really moved in with her and once again occupied Ye Chu’s bed. Ye Chu was furious and wanted to kick Ye Jingyun off. But Ye Jingyun also made a move even resorting to fighting with martial force to compete.
Ye Chu had just finished a fight and his qi and blood were somewhat turbulent. He abandoned the idea of clashing with Ye Jingyun. Although dissatisfied in his heart he still tolerated her occupying his bed.
They stayed in the city for a few more days. Ye Chu had originally thought that Young Master Niu would come looking for trouble again. But after that battle he never appeared again which actually surprised Ye Chu a little.
The day of the competition finally arrived slowly. Hong Kai led the two of them to the venue.
The venue was already very noisy with many spectators. The owners of the various major mines had brought the younger generation totalling dozens of talented young people.
The competition started quickly in the form of an arena battle. Right at the start a Yuan Spirit Realm cultivator appeared on the stage and won ten matches in a row displaying his sharpness.
“Young Master Wang is really good. He has already reached the fifth layer of Yuan Spirit Realm. No wonder he has advanced unstoppable all the way. No one can stop him.” A cultivator praised.
“Fifth layer Yuan Spirit Realm is already quite an outstanding talent in the land controlled by Lord Niu Gui. It is very likely he will reach the Profound Life Realm in the near future and even strive for higher levels.”
The crowd seemed to know the young man on stage and discussed animatedly praising him.
“However he is still no match for Young Master Huang. Young Master Huang has already reached the ninth layer and can charge towards the Profound Life Realm to become a great cultivator.”
“Yes! The champion this time is probably Young Master Huang’s. If he can advance further and step into the Profound Life Realm he will truly undergo a transformation. He has the hope of surpassing Lord Niu!”
“Even Lord Niu regards Young Master Huang with special favour and treats him with great courtesy. He has not yet reached the Profound Life Realm yet he has been allowed to control a mine.”
The discussions continued without end. The Wang young master on stage was finally knocked off. The one who came up was a seventh layer Yuan Spirit Realm cultivator. His strength was extraordinary and it caused another wave of discussion.
However everyone’s discussion focused on Young Master Huang. In their view Young Master Huang was the hot favourite for the championship. The others were merely there to display their strength.
The battle reached the end. Most of the talented youths who had come to compete were defeated by him.
Seeing the other party showing off arrogantly on stage a cultivator finally could not hold back and shouted loudly, “Young Master Huang… Young Master Huang…”
Waves of excited voices shouted out. Amidst the sky-filling shouts a young man holding a feather fan finally flew onto the stage.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage it immediately excited the crowd and the shouts shook the area.
Young Master Huang took the stage and attacked with extreme speed and ferocity. In just a few moves he knocked off the cultivator who had been showing off for a long time drawing even more exclamations from the crowd.
Hong Kai reminded Ye Chu from the side, “This person’s strength is not weak. He has stepped into the ninth layer of Yuan Spirit Realm. Even Lord Niu Gui said he might break through to the Profound Life Realm within three years. You should be careful.”
Hong Kai still had confidence in Ye Chu. Although Huang Shui was indeed an outstanding figure among the younger generation the youth before them was even stronger and could truly fight against Profound Life Realm. This time’s championship was secured for them.
Thinking of obtaining four Azure Origin Pills Hong Kai could not help but feel excited. With these pills plus his Spirit Origin Pills there was hope for his strength to break through. At that time facing Qing Hu would bring no pressure at all and he could firmly hold onto his mine.
Huang Shui was on stage. Talented youths came up to fight him but were quickly knocked off. In a short time many talented youths had been beaten until they lost their temper and no longer went up to experience his advanced skills.
“You are up!” Hong Kai reminded Ye Chu.
Ye Chu looked towards Ye Jingyun beside him. “Are you interested?”
Ye Jingyun rolled her eyes and said, “A person like this it is not as if you cannot handle him. Why would you want me to go up on stage?”
“It sounds as if you are much stronger than me!” Ye Chu muttered. He did not argue with the woman. His figure leaped and shot towards the stage.
The crowd had originally thought that Huang Shui had the championship secured and no one dared to go up and fight him. They had not expected that someone would still dare to take the stage.
Looking at Ye Chu the crowd was rather surprised. This youth looked unfamiliar and they did not know which side had sent him as representative. However they did not pay much attention to Ye Chu and simply thought he was also coming up to gain some experience using Huang Shui to practise and a figure destined to lose.
“Please!” Ye Chu looked at Huang Shui smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
Huang Shui also returned the greeting but in the next instant his power erupted and shot straight towards Ye Chu intending to shake him off the stage. Huang Shui did not take Ye Chu seriously. Looking at Ye Chu’s not particularly sturdy body he thought he could easily throw him off with one hand.
But this strike of his landed on Ye Chu’s body and Ye Chu remained completely unmoved firmly blocking the attack.
“Eh…”
Many people perked up and their gazes fell on Ye Chu. They had not expected Ye Chu to be able to block Huang Shui’s strike.
Huang Shui’s expression also became serious and his heart skipped a beat. Although he had not used his full strength in that strike just now it had still carried seventy to eighty percent of his power. He had originally thought it would be enough to shake the opponent back but he had not expected the other party to receive it so easily.
“Your power is too small and does not match your reputation.” Ye Chu said with a smile as he looked at Huang Shui.
Huang Shui said nothing. His domain vibrated his arm swung and the feather fan swept out horizontally bringing forth an arc of light that carried a chilling intent aiming to pierce Ye Chu’s vital points.
Knowing that the youth before him was not simple Huang Shui let loose and his domain vibrated truly unleashing his full strength.
He had originally thought this would make the youth fearful but he saw the youth’s figure flash and retreat with extreme agility avoiding his fierce attack.
Ye Chu’s speed was not slow. At least to ordinary people it seemed as fast as the wind howling.
“Good lad!”
They had originally thought this competition was about to end but seeing Ye Chu’s action everyone became excited. Could a dark horse be emerging to contend with Huang Shui? If so then today’s competition would not be boring after all!
The crowd stared straight at Ye Chu watching as Ye Chu counterattacked and charged forward.
Ye Jingyun and Hong Kai had calm expressions. This match was already decided in Ye Chu’s favour. They had nothing to worry about.
The opponents strength was indeed good, but compared to Young Master Niu it was much weaker. Ye Chu faced him with pressure that was not too great. He kept exchanging blows with the opponent and steadily stood in an undefeated position.
Huang Shui lived in Weiyang Prefecture and had experienced countless battles. His experience was indeed a bit more seasoned than Ye Chus. Yet Ye Chus artistic conception was nimble and灵动, which made up for the gap. When fighting the opponent, he did not fall behind at all.
Seeing that Ye Chu could fight Huang Shui evenly, the crowd was shocked. They all stared straight at Ye Chu, never expecting such a dark horse to suddenly appear.
The crowd began to inquire about Ye Chus background. When they learned he came from Hongkai, each of them felt strange in their hearts. They wondered when Hongkai had such a talented young man around.
The fight in the arena was intense, making them watch with great interest.
Well done, this kid has good strength.
Yes, his artistic conception seems to steadily suppress Huang Shui. The opponents talent is probably going to surpass Huang Shui.
Tsk tsk, I thought Huang Shui was the number one. I did not expect such a dark horse to appear.
This competition is truly worth watching. Hehe, Lord Niu Gui takes out ten Qingyuan Pills every three years to find young talents. This time it is worth it.
These two are fighting evenly. It is unknown who will win in the end.
…
Everyone stared at Ye Chu and Huang Shui, waiting for the final result.
The longer Huang Shui fought, the more shocked he felt in his heart. Although this young man had quite a few flaws in his moves, he was indeed a strong enemy. No matter how he attacked, he could not do anything to the opponent. The opponents artistic conception seemed to have a spirit of its own, making his scalp tingle.
Just when Huang Shui was thinking about how to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Chu, he saw Ye Chu smile brightly, revealing a few clean white teeth. Let me take some of your blood for use!
Huang Shui did not react in time, but he saw Ye Chus spiritual energy suddenly change, carrying a baleful aura that rushed towards him.
Huang Shuis expression turned horrified and he retreated frantically. But it was already too late. Ye Chu struck out with a palm. Huang Shui let out a miserable scream. Although Ye Chu had not driven the baleful aura into his body, he forcefully opened a gash on his arm. A stream of blood shot out. Ye Chu caught it with a jade bottle, then kicked Huang Shui in the body. Huang Shui rolled down like that.
Ye Chu took the jade bottle, felt the aura of the blood, and then could not help but frown. The power nurtured in the opponents blood was not even as good as his own. This could not help Xixi at all.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Although Huang Shuis strength was at the Yuanling realm, his spiritual energy was not deep. He only had the realm in name, but his artistic conception and spiritual energy were insufficient. He could not be considered a true talent.
What a pity! Ye Chu sighed, but he still put the jade bottle into his bosom. Something was better than nothing.
Seeing Ye Chu standing there arrogantly, many people were stunned. They had not expected that the fight which had been even just moments ago would end in an instant.
Niu Gui sat in a pavilion on a high platform, covered by curtains so the crowd could not see inside. But Niu Gui could see outside. At this moment, seeing that Ye Chu had actually defeated Huang Shui, he could not help but feel surprised.
He still dares to come. Perfect, I can deal with him! While Niu Gui was surprised, his son sitting beside him suddenly spoke.
You have a grudge with him? Niu Gui asked his son beside him curiously. He was still very satisfied with this son of his. His talent was excellent and he had the hope of becoming a king in the future.
We fought once over a woman, and it ended in a draw. Young Master Niu said with a sneer. But I have my eyes on that woman. He cannot snatch her away.
Niu Gui naturally knew some of his sons bad habits and did not want to interfere. But hearing that the opponent could fight his son to a draw, he felt even more surprised.
Just as Niu Gui was about to ask something, the figure of Niu Hei was no longer beside him. Through the curtain, he saw Niu Hei standing on the stage.
How about I accompany you for a fight? Niu Hei said with a sneer, staring at Ye Chu. I want that woman for sure!
Ye Chu was not surprised at all to see Niu Hei. He looked at the opponent and smiled. You also want what I have played with? You really have no taste.
No problem! For such a top quality woman, I can tolerate it even if she has been played with! Niu Hei shook his head indifferently.
Ye Jingyun was so angry at the words of the two that she gritted her teeth. She thought it would be best if these two fought each other until both were injured and then died.
However, when the crowd saw Niu Hei appear, they felt it was strange. They naturally knew Niu Hei, but he was just a scumbag and a degenerate. Could he fight a strong expert who had just defeated a ninth layer Yuanling realm cultivator? What a joke?
Fine. Last time we did not determine a winner. Let us fight again this time!
Ye Chus words made many people widen their eyes. What? This young man fought Niu Hei last time? And it ended in a draw. Is Niu Hei really that terrifying? Not very likely!
Although the crowd had doubts in their hearts, when they saw Niu Hei make a move, each of them could not help but feel their hearts palpitate.
While Niu Hei and Ye Chu were talking and laughing, their artistic conceptions shook. Ten percent of their power erupted, causing the space to sizzle and surge with force accompanied by wind howls, giving people an oppressive feeling of fear.
This was a power that made everyone feel terrified. Even some mine owners found it unbelievable. They had never known that Niu Guis notoriously infamous son would have such strength, which was only stronger than Huang Shui, not weaker.
Hongkais expression also changed dramatically. He had not expected such a variable.
The strength Niu Hei displayed at this moment was far stronger than Huang Shui. It was hard to say whether Ye Chu could defeat him. But even if he could, what good outcome would Ye Chu get after defeating him?
Niu Hei was Niu Guis son. If Ye Chu did something, it would be strange if Niu Gui did not hold a grudge against him.
In this area, no one could afford to offend Niu Gui.
Damn it. If I had known Niu Hei would participate, I would rather die than let Ye Chu come.
Hongkai had the idea of letting Ye Chu admit defeat and withdraw, but Ye Chu had no such awareness. He fought with Niu Hei, striking fiercely and viciously, with every move aiming to put Niu Hei to death.
This made Hongkais face turn pale. Ye Jingyun beside him saw this and said lightly, If you knew that Ye Chu had already fought him not long ago, you would not be like this.
… One sentence made Hongkai even more inclined to kill someone.
Not bad! Compared to last time, your moves are much sharper. Niu Hei smiled at Ye Chu. It seems we can have a good time today. However, this time we must determine a winner.
Ye Chu laughed loudly. Of course, I am still thinking about those ten Qingyuan Pills. Naturally we must determine a winner.
If you offer her to me, what if I give you ten pills? Niu Hei said with a sneer.
Ye Chus eyes lit up. He blocked the opponents strike and laughed loudly. Sure! Once I defeat you, I will give her to you. Does that mean you give me twenty pills?
Ye Jingyun saw Ye Chu treating her like meat again. She gritted her teeth and stared at Ye Chu fiercely.
Defeat me? You are dreaming! Niu Hei sneered. In this area, no one can defeat me.
