Chapter 4014: Ye Ying Cai’s Opponent
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Seven Mansions Feast had been going for 19 days before the participants were finalized. As such, there was a three-day break before the Seven Mansions Feast would continue.
The first round was just a preliminary to weed out the weak. The following round would be a competition among the stronger ones. Similar to before, half of the participants would also be eliminated during this round while the winners would be sorted into the elite group.
...
When Lin Dong Lai, the elder from the Howling Flas Sect, and everyone arrived at the venue of the Seven Mansions Feast, Zhen Ping Fan said, “I hope you won’t get the word ‘ugly’ again this ti.”
Upon hearing this, the others from the Pure Yang Sect looked at Duan Ling Tian. They were either laughing or trying to hold back their laughter.
Duan Ling Tian rolled his eyes as he replied, “Elder Zhen, it doesn’t matter what word I draw as long as I advanced to the next round.”
At this ti, Lin Dong Lai said loudly, “The 816 participants, are you ready? Please imbue your Divine Energies into the tokens to claim them. Similar to before, the tokens will dictate your opponents. The words on these 816 tokens are new words.”
After giving a few breaths to the participants so they could prepare themselves, Lin Dong Lai tossed out the 816 tokens. Similar to before, the words would only appear once the tokens had been imbued with Divine Energy.
Duan Ling Tian and the others made their moves as soon as Lin Dong Lai tossed the tokens out. Streaks of energy shot toward the tokens one after another.
This ti, Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate and quickly claid one of the tokens.
‘I hesitated previously and drew the word ‘ugly’... Let’s hope I’ll draw a positive word this ti...’
At the sa ti, he saw the people of the Pure Yang Sect, including Zhen Ping Fan, looking at him with amused expressions when they saw him claiming a token.
While everyone looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously, Zhen Ping Fan asked teasingly, “Duan Ling Tian, what word did you get this ti?”
Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly, “This ti, I don’t play to reveal it until it’s my turn to battle. Moreover, it doesn’t even matter if I don’t imbue my Divine Energy into my token now. If there’s only one participant in the arena later, I’ll know if it’s my turn or not.”
In order to get back at the others for teasing, Duan Ling Tian deliberately kept them in suspense by refusing to reveal the word he had drawn.
As expected, the young disciples of the Pure Yang Sect were disappointed by Duan Ling Tian’s refusal.
Zhen Ping Fan asked, “Can’t you satisfy our curiosity? You got the word ‘ugly’ earlier because you were unlucky. You might draw a good word this ti.”
Zhen Ping Fan emphasized the word ‘good’ this ti.
Duan Ling Tian ignored Zhen Ping Fan. After all, Zhen Ping Fan teased him the most previously.
Zhen Ping Fan tried to persuade Duan Ling Tian a few more tis before giving up when he saw that Duan Ling Tian was unmoved. In the end, he said grumpily, “I bet you must have drawn another strange word that’s why you’re being so secretive. I’ll wait and see what word you drew later!”
Then, Zhen Ping Fan shifted his gaze back to the arena and stopped pestering Duan Ling Tian.
One of the participants who was about to fight was from the Eastern Ridge Mansion. He was a prodigy from the Dragon Martial Divine Sect. He dominated his previous battle and defeated his opponent within ten moves. Moreover, his opponent was not weak. As such his opponent won his challenge and managed to enter the novice group in the end.
After a few dozen moves, Duan Ling Tian, who was watching the battle, thought to himself, ‘It shouldn’t be a problem for both of them to enter the elite group later on...’
Initially, the two opponents were evenly-matched. However, after 100 moves, the prodigy from the Dragon Martial Divine Sect ca up with a good strategy and used his combat experience to defeat his opponent.
As such his opponent was naturally dissatisfied with his defeat. He spat, “Despicable!”
However, most people thought the prodigy from the Dragon Martial Divine Sect won fair and square. Being able to co up with a strategy was part of one’s strength, after all.
Soon enough, another battle started. Unlike the one before, this battle was very lopsided, and it ended within 20 minutes.
During the 12th battle, it was finally the turn of soone from the Pure Yang Sect.
Swoosh!
The person was none other than Ye Ying Cai, the prodigy from the Pure Yang Sect’s Hidden Sword faction. He had perford brilliantly during the first round to enter the novice group. He defeated his opponent with two moves. Most importantly, his opponent was not weak at all; his opponent managed to make a coback during the revival round and defeated the other party within ten moves. This was a testant to Ye Ying Cai’s strength.
At this mont, Ye Ying Cai was calm. He was unlike before when he would stare blankly into space. It seed like he had already co to terms with his past.
“I’m Wang Yi Shan from the Eastern Ridge Mansion’s Alliance of Benevolence and Justice,” Ye Ying Cai’s opponent said with a smile, “Brother, what a coincidence that we’re both from the Eastern Ridge Mansion. I saw your fight earlier so I know I’m no match for you. Alas, I can’t withdraw since it’ll embarrass the alliance. Please show rcy.”
A hint of helplessness could be seen in Wang Yi Shan’s eyes as he looked at Ye Ying Cai. He was very aware of the gap between him and Ye Ying Cai after watching Ye Ying Cai fight. Moreover, even before the Seven Mansions Feast, he had long heard of Ye Ying Cai, a famous prodigy of the Pure Yang Sect, who was not inferior to the top prodigies below the age of 10,000 in the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice.
“Ye Ying Cai from the Eastern Ridge Mansion’s Pure Yang Sect,” Ye Ying Cai said. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes glinted coldly.
The crowd found it interesting when opponents were from the Mansions or even better if they were from the sa force.
“Both of them are from the Eastern Ridge Mansion!”
“This will be interesting to watch!”
anwhile, Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. ‘A mber of the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice?”
At the sa ti, Duan Ling Tian said a silent prayer for Wang Yi Shan. Wang Yi Shan was unaware of Ye Ying Cai’s hatred toward the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice. Otherwise, he would have surrendered.
“Junior Uncle Ye, will anything bad happen? Zhen Ping Fan asked in a hushed tone. His expression was solemn.
“It’ll be fine,” Ye Chen Feng shook his head and said nonchalantly, “Although Lin Dong Lai is not that great, he’ll be able to deal with a sudden problem arising between the younger generation.”
Zhen Ping Fan nodded. “You’re right. He’s an interdiate Emperor of Gods after all.”
Liu Feng Gu, who was sitting at the side, overheard the duo and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Chen Feng glanced at Liu Feng Gu and said with a smile, “It’s nothing, Senior Brother Liu. It’s just that my granddisciple found out about the culprit behind his father and clan’s deaths.”
In the past, when Ye Chen Feng brought Ye Ying Cai back to the Pure Yang Sect, all the high-ranking officials were aware that the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice was responsible for the deaths of Ye Ying Cai’s father and his clan mbers. This included Liu Feng Gu.
Liu Feng Gu’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Ye Chen Feng’s words. “Didn’t you promise to hide the truth from him? If the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice finds out...”
“I didn’t tell him about it...” Ye Chen Feng said as he shook his head, “He found out by himself. Coincidentally, his mother and twin brother survived, and coincidentally, he t them at Snow Forest City previously.”
Liu Feng Gu raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ye Chen Feng knowingly. He did not believe Ye Chen Feng’s words at all. The so-called coincidences must have been orchestrated by Ye Chen Feng. However, he did not comnt on it. After all, it was not like the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice could hold the Pure Yang Sect responsible. The alliance could not prove Ye Chen Feng’s involvent in the matter. Not only that, but Ye Chen Feng was too strong. If the alliance offended Ye Chen Feng, who knew if Ye Chen Feng would kill one or two of their Emperors of Gods, and as a result, weaken their overall strength?
“Is it necessary? He’s still young. What if his hatred becos his downfall?” Liu Feng Gu sighed.
“Suffering is necessary in order to achieve sothing.” Ye Chen Feng smiled. “Although I had a hand in making it happen, it was the idea of my disciple, Ye Tong.” After a pause, he asked, “Senior Brother Lu, you should’ve noticed the progress of the Ping Shen faction’s Yang Qian Ye, right?”
Liu Feng Gu nodded. “I didn’t think Yang Qian Ye was so talented before. However, he beca an interdiate Lord of Gods in such a short ti. Not only that, but it seems like his cultivation base is almost completely stable...”
Liu Feng Gu found Yang Qian Ye’s progress baffling.
“Senior Brother Liu, do you know why he progressed so quickly? It’s because his father died. He’s driven by the desire to avenge his father so he progressed so quickly,” Ye Chen Feng said.
