“You have no right to be so arrogant!”
Zhang Huo glared at Ye Chu, his rage exploding. His body shot forward, flanked by two cultivators who moved with him to surround Ye Chu, their imposing aura pressing down on him.
The three of them coordinated with Gu Xing and the others. Their terrifying momentum increased by a full several increments.
“Even if you were a dragon, today you will be forced to lie here!” Zhang Huo roared. His aura was as vast as a mountain. Though it could not compare to Gu Xing, it was still overwhelmingly domineering.
Zhang Huo was also highly renowned in the city. If not for the overwhelming dominance of Gu Xing and Yu Jin, he would absolutely have been a top contender for the championship. Even so, Gu Xing and the others would have had to pay a price to defeat him.
Yet such a figure had actually joined forces with Gu Xing to attack. Nine experts were now besieging Ye Chu. At this point, everyone could not help but admire Ye Chu strength.
If not for his excessively arrogant nature, the championship would likely have gone to Ye Chu.
“Ye Chu! Keep it up!” Ye Jingyun had shifted from her earlier worry to practically cheering for chaos, shouting from the sidelines. From Ye Chu recent performance, she knew he was still holding back a considerable amount.
Ye Jingyun now wanted to know just how strong Ye Chu truly was. The fact that he had surpassed her was undeniable. Despite her inner jealousy and resentment, she could only accept it.
Since she had accepted it, Ye Jingyun hoped Ye Chu would grow even stronger. Although he had been driven out of the Ye family, the blood flowing in his veins could not be changed.
If Ye Chu could leap to become a peerless expert, it would greatly benefit the Ye family.
Besides, although Ye Jingyun despised his character, after spending so much time with him, she had also developed a special attachment.
“Just how strong are you!” Ye Jingyun stared at Ye Chu with burning eyes. Similarly, Nuoran was muttering to himself nearby.
“There are fifty six cultivators here. The weakest are at the seventh level of the Xuanming Realm, and nearly thirty are at the ninth level. How many can you fight?” Nuoran eyes burned with fervour. He had not witnessed such a fierce and thrilling battle in a long time.
Normally, seeing a talented youth fight three, four, or five opponents was nothing remarkable. Yet now, someone was challenging the talented elites of the entire city single handedly. Truly arrogant, truly domineering!
Nuoran fixed his gaze on the arena. The current formation of nine experts was absolutely terrifying. If Ye Chu could still block it, his qualification as a seed candidate for the Path of the Heavenly Prodigies would be beyond doubt.
“Do not get dragged into a prolonged fight with him. Use our strongest power and obliterate him directly!” Gu Xing shouted. He had lost his patience. The longer they fought, the more it would damage their reputation.
If they could not take Ye Chu down quickly, even if he eventually ranked among the seed candidates, it would be a laughing stock.
Zhang Huo shared the same thought. After exchanging glances, Zhang Huo moved first. His fingers flicked, and the primordial energy inside his body roared out. Amidst the tremors, space churned relentlessly.
In the void, a ferocious tiger baring its fangs and claws leapt into the air. Its conceptual intent permeated the form, making it overwhelmingly domineering. The vibrations caused space to tremble incessantly. The tiger was engulfed in raging flames, adding to its surging power and terror.
“Intent patterns! They are actually deploying intent patterns directly!”
“This is going to be a spectacular show! Nine experts using intent patterns simultaneously. Even a king would have to yield to their brunt!”
“Let us see how he blocks it. Soon he will know who the real trash is. We will sever his meridians, shatter his dantian, and make him wish he were dead!”
“…”
The crowd stared into the void. The flames on Zhang Huo tiger flickered so intensely that it made their hearts palpitate.
Gu Xing did not show weakness either. His fingers flicked, and a dazzling star appeared in the void. Unlike ordinary inanimate objects, this star seemed alive, appearing even more terrifying than a ferocious beast.
Gu Xing stood alone as a shining star. This was his intent pattern. Though it was not a heaven and earth anomaly, it was far stronger than ordinary ferocious beasts.
The intent patterns of the other cultivators also erupted, condensing individually as ferocious beasts manifested in the void. Cultivators capable of walking the Path of the Heavenly Prodigies and reaching this stage naturally possessed excellent talent.
Cultivators with ferocious beast intent patterns, which were rare to find in the outside world, seemed quite commonplace here.
Eight ferocious beasts baring their fangs and claws, alongside a solitary shining star, stimulated everyone vision. Their conceptual intents merged completely into the manifestations. Tracing out terrifying rays of light that seemed ready to tear the world apart, they intertwined and pressed down upon Ye Chu simultaneously.
This scene was terrifying. Even Nuoran clenched his fists tightly, staring at Ye Chu with burning eyes. He was worried for him. With such an attack descending, it could easily obliterate Ye Chu primordial spirit, leaving him unable to recover for eternity.
Although Ye Jingyun had faith in Ye Chu, watching the intent patterns breathing fire and clouds in the void made her bite her lip tightly. She tried to comfort herself by asking Yang Hui beside her: “Ye Chu can block it, right?”
“The young master is an outstanding figure! He will open our ancestral lands in the future, so this is naturally no problem!” Yang Hui was the only one who appeared relaxed. She held Ye Jingyun hand and smiled, her face full of confidence.
All the cultivators were extremely excited. Watching the terrifying force tremble in the void, they waited for Ye Chu to be annihilated.
Watching the nine intent patterns sweep towards him, Ye Chu laughed loudly: “You think these little tricks are enough to deal with me?”
“We can take down even a king! Let alone you!” Zhang Huo roared. “Intent patterns condense the most terrifying conceptual intent of every cultivator. They can integrate the full power of each person. How could they not deal with you!”
This remark made Ye Chu smile widen: “If we were competing in other areas, I might have to show you some restraint. But when it comes to intent patterns… haha…”
Ye Chu smile was full of contempt. This made everyone frown involuntarily, wondering if his intent pattern was actually terrifying.
Nuoran also stared straight at Ye Chu, wanting to see exactly what kind of intent pattern gave him such confidence.
Ye Chu flicked his fingers. Under everyone gaze, a beam of cyan light suddenly flashed before him. The cyan light emerged and began to continuously trace out a shape. Slowly, a green lotus appeared before Ye Chu.
The green lotus stood quietly before him. Like ordinary green lotuses in the world, it possessed an otherworldly and tranquil aura. Not a single trace of abnormality could be seen on it.
“A green lotus? A plant intent pattern?” The crowd was stunned. They had originally assumed Ye Chu intent pattern would at least be a sacred beast, which explained his arrogance. Yet no one expected it to be merely a plant.
Among intent patterns, this was considered an extremely low grade. People struggled to understand how someone with such talent could unleash such terrifying combat power.
“Could he have encountered some fortuitous opportunity? Even with average talent, his combat power might be limitless?” The crowd was puzzled, speculating about a possibility in their minds. “But so what if that is true? If the intent pattern is not strong, how can he face such a ferocious beast attack? Once the conceptual intent is obliterated and the primordial spirit destroyed, no matter what opportunities he has had, he will certainly die.”
Only Ye Jingyun wore a strange expression. Staring at the intent pattern before Ye Chu and watching its flashing cyan light, she wondered why he had conjured such a thing and how he managed to do it.
Because Ye Jingyun knew exactly what Ye Chu true intent pattern was!
