Ye Feng finally understood. Could it be that the position of Xuanyuan Hall's Hall Master was actually hereditary?
"However, it's not just this thod, there's also another one; by defeating the current Hall Master, one can replace them and take over their position," Zhao Xuanzhen said with a smile still lingering on his lips.
Ye Feng's eyes glead, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Does this an, my lord, that since I have defeated the Third Hall Master, I could potentially assu the role of the new Third Hall Master?"
If possible, it actually didn't seem too bad to play the role of the Hall Master.
Just as Ye Feng entertained this thought, it was imdiately extinguished by a bucket of cold water poured by Zhao Xuanzhen.
"No, after defeating a Hall Master, to officially take their place, you need more than half of the other Hall Masters to vote in favor of your appointnt. Do you think you're up to that?" Zhao Xuanzhen cheerfully said, instantly deflating Ye Feng.
Consent from half of the Hall Masters?
How could that be possible!?
The only Hall Masters who seed to support him now were the First and the Seventh. The others had grievances with him to varying degrees. Unless he could squarely defeat each one of them and gain their consent...
But how easy would it be to subdue these Hall Masters, who were all at the Yin-Yang Realm?
Ye Feng felt that he could contend with Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm, but actually defeating them seed a bit far-fetched—considering Hong Wuji's recent move, he could handle it, but he couldn't guarantee he'd co out unscathed.
"It's just the Hall Master position, no big deal. If I can't assu it, then so be it," Ye Feng casually waved his hand, feigning indifference. Indeed, if it was rely a nominal title, he really did not covet the position of Hall Master at all—he could completely disregard it.
Yet Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled again, "Not care?"
"Then why do you think we aspire to be Hall Masters?" Zhao Xuanzhen questioned, causing Ye Feng's expression to stiffen once more.
Staring at Zhao Xuanzhen, Ye Feng's brows gradually furrowed. Indeed, if it were just for a title, why bother with the so-called position of a Hall Master?
"What else does one gain as a Hall Master?" Ye Feng couldn't help but ask again.
This ti, however, Zhao Xuanzhen shook his head, "Now, it's not necessary to tell you. You're still far from touching the position of Hall Master. The Third Hall Master's whereabouts are currently unknown, and everything is yet distant. You should focus on how you'll handle the upcoming Genius Rankings Martial Arts Tournant."
Annoyance throbbed in Ye Feng's forehead. This old man's way of speaking was truly infuriating—as if blatantly dangling a carrot in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that this fellow was Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming's father, Ye Feng would have been tempted to take action right then and there.
Unaware that Ye Feng was already considering thrashing him, Zhao Xuanzhen continued obliviously, "If I'm not mistaken, what you're practicing is the cultivation technique of soone from over two thousand years ago, which is why you've remained at the Peak Martial King level."
Ye Feng remained silent, not at all surprised to be figured out. He had beco accustod to it; most people knew that he was practicing the cultivation technique from soone from over two millennia ago, but they didn't know the na of the technique or the principles behind it. He didn't care anymore...
After a mont of thought, Zhao Xuanzhen added, "Indeed, that person's cultivation technique is very powerful, but you must be careful yourself. Always rember, Ye Feng, that you are yourself, not that person."
There seed to be a profound aning in Zhao Xuanzhen's words. Having said that, he flew up and returned to Xuanyuan Hall.
Since Zhao Xuanzhen had isolated the surroundings earlier, the others had not heard the conversation between the two n. Naturally, no one asked any questions.
"Little Martial Uncle, how did you beco even more powerful!" Long Nannan ca beside Ye Feng once more, blinking her eyes in surprise.
The changes in Ye Feng's strength were drastic, happening all too quickly. It hadn't been long, and he was already daring to challenge the legendary figures of the Yin-Yang Realm. Back in Xuanyuan Nation, when mbers of the Hong Family at the Golden Core Realm level ca knocking, he had struggled to cope.
"And you accuse , haven't you also progressed quite a bit? You should almost be breaking through to the Golden Core Realm by now, right?" Ye Feng said with a smile, sensing the significant growth in Long Nannan's strength since before she fell unconscious.
At first, he had worried whether Long Nannan, severely injured after the Dragon Transformation, might regress in her abilities. Now it seed his concern was entirely superfluous.
Long Nannan's face showed a touch of proud coquettishness, "Isn't that to be expected? Who do you think your Miss is?"
Seeing Long Nannan's smug deanor, Ye Feng was slightly amused yet exasperated. But soon after, he straightened his expression and said, "Rember, from now on, do not use the Dragon Transformation. The toll it takes is still too great for you, especially here in the Outer Battlefield, which is not like Xuanyuan Nation."
"With here, there's no need for you to use Dragon Transformation to save . Do you understand?"
Ye Feng was both annoyed and touched. At that mont, he had actually been capable of resolving the situation, but unexpectedly, Long Nannan utilized Dragon Transformation and Hong Qingyan directly employed her Bloodline Secret Technique, resulting in both of them being severely injured and falling into a coma.
This had him worried sick, fortunately, sending Long Nannan to the care of Old Man with the Big Tobacco Pipe via Sausage Sister had been the right move. In just half a month, Long Nannan had not only recovered but also beco stronger.
Making a mischievous face, Long Nannan said, "I know, I was worried about Little Martial Uncle at the ti, too."
Ye Feng didn't say much more. After inquiring about their journey to the Outer Battlefield and learning that they hadn't encountered any danger along the way, he felt a lot more at ease.
At that mont, Chi Jark ca over with a faint smile and said, "Brother Ye, don't forget, the Void Spirit Fruit is likely to ripen in the next couple of days."
"How do you think we should arrange it?"
Chi Jark openly ntioned this in front of everyone at Xuanyuan Hall, causing many to be puzzled and wonder what the two were discussing.
Xiao Rulong, however, had eyes that shone bright.
"Void Spirit Fruit?"
"Where is there Void Spirit Fruit?"
Xiao Rulong, as a mber of the Xiao Family of the Ancient Clan, of course knew about the existence of the Void Spirit Fruit. It was an excellent fruit for cultivating spiritual power, and even in the Outer Battlefield, it was sothing one could only hope for but rarely obtain. The ergence of each Void Spirit Fruit plant would inevitably trigger a bloody battle!
Chi Jark glanced around at the others, and Ye Feng knew this guy had reservations, so he smiled and released a Spirit Essence Barrier to prevent their conversation from being overheard.
Then Chi Jark felt relieved and discussed his earlier discovery of the Void Spirit Fruit.
After learning about the situation, Xiao Rulong's eyes glead, and with a folding fan in hand and a beaming face, he said, "Well, well, you two, how could you leave out of such a good opportunity? Were you planning to hog it all to yourselves?"
Chi Jark replied indifferently, "Xiao Chubby, you underestimate . Is such a trifle as the Void Spirit Fruit really worth hogging just between Ye Feng and ?"
"With our many years of friendship, how could we possibly keep it from you, right?"
Chi Jark laughed, even slinging an arm over Xiao Rulong's shoulder.
Despite his words, he had initially not planned to tell Xiao Rulong about it, but circumstances had changed.
Xiao Rulong eyed Chi Jark suspiciously; sothing was off. In the past, Chi Jark would never have been so generous about sharing such news.
"Cut the crap. Last ti you even kept those few Earth Origin Grass plants from . If I hadn't seen them for myself, would I have gotten a share?"
Xiao Rulong ridiculed rcilessly.
Those nearby twitched their mouths in response. Earth Origin Grass was a relatively common Spirit Grass in the Outer Battlefield, typically found near the nests of Golden Core Realm Alien Beasts. While not exactly precious, it was still sowhat useful for Cultivators in the Foundation Establishnt Realm who hadn't reached the abilities of the Golden Core Realm.
A shade passed over Chi Jark's face, not having expected Xiao Rulong to call him out so bluntly.
But he wasn't concerned with that at the mont, instead speaking with a slightly grave expression, "When I discovered the Void Spirit Fruit, I had mbers of the Chi Family keep watch over there to monitor the situation."
"Then, just now, I received a ssage from there informing that the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts have also discovered the fruit. Whether the Bu Family knows about it, I'm not sure, but they'll probably find out soon enough."
"Right now, people from the Nine Great Sects are already lying in wait there, so ultimately, we won't be able to just take the Void Spirit Fruit directly. When we found it, Hong Zhong and Hong Qing of the Hong Family were also already aware."
"So this ti around, the Void Spirit Fruit might be watched by quite a few Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm; if we are to snatch the fruit from their hands, we must work together."
Chi Jark outlined the situation, which were updates he had just received, or he would not have shared the news with Xiao Rulong.
Originally, the plan had been for him and Ye Feng to secure the Void Spirit Fruit for themselves, but with the changing situation, he thought to pull Xiao Rulong into the fold. After all, once mature, there would be at least three fruits—enough for one each, making the division less problematic.
Xiao Rulong looked even more wary, fixing Chi Jark with a cold gaze, "You treacherous scoundrel, if the situation hadn't changed, you wouldn't have told about the Void Spirit Fruit, would you?"
Chi Jark, now looking slightly stiff, forced a laugh, "How could that be, Brother Xiao? Don't believe , ask Brother Ye; I told him from the start that we would involve you when the ti ca."
Xiao Rulong clearly didn't believe Chi Jark's words, looking as if questioning whether he should trust him or not.
Ye Feng then chuckled, "Alright, Brother Xiao, there's no need to fuss over these details. Right now, what we need to think about is how to get our hands on the Void Spirit Fruit."
Ye Feng hadn't expected the Void Spirit Fruit to beco exposed, but it wasn't too surprising. After all, a sudden appearance of the Titan Giant Ape in a different location naturally attracted so attention. Now that things had co to this, there was no point getting hung up on these details.
Chi Jark spoke decidedly, "We cooperate. The three of us together will have no problem seizing the Void Spirit Fruit. There will be at least three fruits; no matter how many there are, I want just one!"
Xiao Rulong considered it, then actively offered, "I agree to cooperate, and I also only want one."
