19: Chapter 16: Show Off Skills 19: Chapter 16: Show Off Skills Seeing this, a fierce gleam also flashed in Ye ng’s eyes.
Then, he suddenly forcibly exhaled and accelerated the spear in his hand, creating two blur-like afterimages as he thrust towards Ye Xuan.
Seeing the suddenly accelerated spear thrust, Ye Xuan quickly sidestepped, avoiding the deceptive stab.
At the sa mont, the long saber on Ye Xuan’s back was instantly unsheathed.
The sharp blade directly slashed onto the spear shaft, producing intense sparks as they rubbed against each other.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
Sparks flew everywhere as the saber edge slid across the spear shaft, directly slicing towards Ye ng’s hands gripping the spear.
With a change in his expression, Ye ng instantly released his spear and leaned back.
The saber’s edge rely cut through his clothes, and in almost an instant, Ye ng regained control of his spear and thrust forward explosively.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
The collision between saber and spear was trendously fierce, leaving the spectators dazzled and bewildered.
“Wind Speed Thunderbolt Spear!”
After exchanging over ten moves, Ye ng vibrated the spear in his hand causing a burst of wind.
The spear technique also seed to mix the sounds of wind and thunder and instantly added seven layers of spear images, attacking at an incredibly fast pace, like a whirlwind that was unstoppable.
Ye Xuan, unphased by the flurry of changes, countered each move thodically.
His re Mortal Grade saber seed to have a mind of its own, always managing to strike real through the feints, matching in speed seamlessly.
In a series of seven moves, he easily dissolved Ye ng’s aggressive attack.
“Hmm?”
Seeing his moves neutralized, Ye ng’s expression slightly darkened.
The Ye Xuan in front of him was not on the sa level as those he had faced before.
Ye Xuan had not even used any special techniques but had not fallen behind in the least, proving unfathomable.
Originally, he thought within the Ye family, he only needed to take Ye Ba seriously.
Unexpectedly, besides Ye Ba, there was another, Ye Xuan—a man once deed a waste.
Now, having personally crossed hands, he couldn’t help but mock the absurdity of this exceptional opponent being labeled as such.
The surprise was brief.
Ye ng was a resolute individual, representing the hopes of all his branch family mbers.
In this clan competition for supremacy, he would undoubtedly give his all.
“Strength Amidst the Wind!”
The spear swept across, cutting through the wind, and the force it contained was astonishing, causing the air itself to buzz violently, imdiately crushing upon contact.
A single stroke parried the fierce spearhead.
Ye Xuan’s figure took advantage of the montum to retreat swiftly.
Ye ng’s True Qi was wind-attributed, and his spear technique relied on speed.
If Ye Xuan couldn’t stabilize the situation from the start, retreating one step would lead to continuous retreats and assured defeat.
“If that is the case, there’s no need to hold back anymore.”
Ye Xuan’s expression turned solemn, and suddenly, a sound akin to crackling tendons burst out from within him, faintly accompanied by the sound of a dragon’s chant.
As the True Qi burst forth, Ye Xuan’s strength also escalated dramatically, quickly surpassing the level of a hundred galloping horses and still rising.
“Lightning Flash Movent!”
When his power reached its limit, Ye Xuan finally unleashed his saber technique, the first form of the Thunder Blade Skill, Lightning Flash Movent.
With one slash, lightning-like saber Qi spread out.
The surrounding air, acting like a conduit for electricity, gathered the lightning at the blade edge, which then fiercely slashed onto Ye ng’s spear.
The violent power burst forth instantly.
Struck by this heavy blow, Ye ng’s body was violently hurled backward.
However, before he had a chance to recover, Ye Xuan’s figure once again closed in, landing a punch directly on his chest, and sending him flying out of the arena.
Gasps…
Seeing Ye Xuan suddenly overpower and swiftly defeat Ye ng elicited a sudden uproar from the crowd.
Those who knew Ye Xuan from before gaped, clearly unable to believe that in just a short span of three months, he had beco so powerful.
Even the Ye family elder responsible for arbitrating was montarily stunned, before finally declaring the result.
“Ye Xuan wins!”
The noise died down, and it took a long ti before the arena finally burst into intense cheers.
Before, it could have been said that Ye Xuan might have relied on luck to win; however, in this match, he had undoubtedly proven his strength by directly and squarely defeating Ye ng, who was second only to Ye Ba in prominence.
Even though many among them had previously scorned Ye Xuan, now, no one held such attitudes because the Ye Xuan of now was not only no longer useless but a brilliant talent of the Ye family, thoroughly transford.
Yet, Ye Xuan didn’t pay attention to those cheers.
He stepped down from the stage and extended his hand to Ye ng with a smile, saying, “Are you alright?”
“There’s nothing to say when one is outclassed,” Ye ng replied, taking Ye Xuan’s hand.
Though Ye Xuan’s sudden burst had caught him sowhat off guard, the opponent’s strength was indeed superior.
The key question was whether Ye Xuan had used his full strength.
“Perhaps,” Ye Xuan replied ambiguously.
“I see.
I hope you go further; I’ll challenge you again in the future.”
Ye ng’s magnanimity in defeat was admirable.
He saw things very clearly and, after bowing to Ye Xuan, he left the arena without any complaints.
“It’s unexpected that the main branch couldn’t produce soone like him, yet the collateral branch did.”
Ye Xuan looked aningfully at the departing Ye ng.
Although his strength was not yet on par with Ye Ba, his temperant was far stronger.
“I knew it; Brother Ye Xuan would not lose easily.”
Nangong Yao looked playfully at Nangong Bo sitting beside her as the remaining figure on the stage caught her eye.
“This kid hides his capabilities deeply.
Now even grandfather can’t predict how far he will go,” Nangong Bo spoke more hesitantly than before, now wary of making firm predictions about Ye Xuan.
Although Ye Ba was still the strongest on the surface, others were not without doubt whether he held back any strength.
“With the cultivation level of a First Grade Martial Master, defeating a Second Grade opponent shows such potential.
Well nurtured, he could beco the second Ye Xiao,” said the Qi family head on the VIP seats, stroking his beard with a smile.
Generally, only a true talent in Martial Arts could challenge opponents beyond their level, which seed even more impressive than re advancent in cultivation.
“Let’s hope so…”
Ye Tianxiong’s eyes flickered.
He had invested imnsely in Ye Xiao in the past, and it had only brought him great trouble.
If Ye Xuan could reach his father’s level, then it was not impossible for the Ye family to return to their forr glory.
“Bear, you might be contending with this Ye Xuan for the first place in the clan eting; you can’t take it lightly,” Ye Tianhao said to Ye Ba after watching Ye Xuan and Ye ng’s fight, now sowhat worried.
The championship of this clan eting was crucial.
“Don’t worry, father.
Defeating just a mber of a collateral branch is nothing.
If it were , one move would be enough,” Ye Ba responded coolly, unbothered by Ye ng’s loss, clearly underestimating Ye Xuan.
As the match between Ye Xuan and Ye ng concluded, the second round of competition also soon ca to an end.
Out of ten competitors, five stood out, but only Ye Ba and Ye Xuan were seen as having the capability to vie for the championship.
The forr, possessing the cultivation of a Third Grade Martial Master, was far ahead of the others.
Throughout the two rounds of the contest, he had defeated his opponents in one move.
Though originally, Ye Xuan was not considered a contender for the title, his defeat of Ye ng made him the only other possible victor besides Ye Ba.
The third round of draws began, and Ye Xuan was fortunate enough to draw a bye.
But it didn’t matter to him; facing Ye Ba would an just having the finals earlier and facing anyone else posed no threat.
Thus, the results of the third round were quickly decided: Ye Ba, Ye Xuan, and a young expert nad Ye Feiyang, who, knowing he was no match for the other two, willingly forfeited, securing the third place.
Now, the competition for first place would fall between Ye Ba and Ye Xuan.
The highly anticipated battle finally arrived, and the atmosphere in the arena heated gradually.
So prominent figures in the VIP seats were already discussing the outco.
“The young generation of the Ye family is extrely talented, truly stellar.
It’s a pity only one can claim the first place.
Who will it be—the ever-dominant Ye Ba or the surprisingly impressive Ye Xuan?”
“Comparatively, I favor Ye Ba.
After all, his cultivation is a full two grades higher, and his Martial Arts style is aggressive and decisive.
He has a greater chance of winning this match.”
“Is that so?
My view differs a bit.
In a Martial Artist’s combat, cultivation is certainly important, but Ye Xuan’s Martial Arts prowess is not low.
Even if he were to lose, it would only be after a fierce battle, likely not decided until after at least twenty moves.”
“Regardless, this will be a thrilling fight.
Let’s watch eagerly.”
