Chapter 1706: Chapter 1575: Number One in the Five Domains!
More than an hour had passed, and the battlefield was shrouded in black fog. No one could see what was happening within it, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the outcome.
The young elites from the Five Domains felt uninterested; they wanted to see exchanges like those between Ye Fan and Li Yu’er, where every punch hits the mark, rather than this kind of exchange where nothing can be seen and learned.
Some older generation strong people with experience in soul combat frowned continuously, well aware of how dangerous combat between souls can be, where a slight misstep leads to either death or injury.
"I said before, the one named Ye is bound to lose this time."
Members of the Liang Family from the Earth Master lineage also came, speaking venomously at this moment. Their successor had been slaughtered by Ye Fan, nine in one breath. The young generation’s talent had dwindled, unable to recover their Primordial Qi for decades or even a century, making them hate Ye Fan to the core.
Their words immediately sparked a chorus of agreement; all were those who once had a Saint Child level strong person die at Ye Fan’s hands.
There were also those from sects and holy lands whose disciples were auctioned off by Ye Fan, utterly humiliated, the ones most eager for Ye Fan not to win.
"Who’s farting? It stinks!"
Hu Fei glared, retorting unceremoniously.
"That’s right, you sects and holy lands set up traps to absolutely slay Ye Fan, and yet you don’t allow him to fight back? Should he bare his neck for you to cut? Those who died at Ye Fan’s hands brought it upon themselves."
Shi Ye’s booming voice echoed across the Life and Death Battle Arena, leaving the Liang Family and other forces who lost their Saint Child speechless.
They were especially enraged, but couldn’t say a word because, as Shi Ye said, whether it was the Saint Child level strong people who died at Ye Fan’s hands or those he auctioned, they had it coming, Ye Fan was not to be blamed.
"Hmph!"
A Saint Lord from a holy land snorted coldly, "Senseless!"
"Ye’s body is indeed strong, comparable to a Lord Realm Spiritual Treasure, but a duel between souls has nothing to do with the body. It’s impossible for his soul to be that strong; he’s bound to lose."
"That’s right, the one named Ye will lose for sure!"
A group continued to clamor, asserting Ye Fan was doomed to lose. After listening to their analysis, others also felt Ye Fan couldn’t possibly defeat the Demon Sect Young Master.
After all, the Old Emperor of the Yuehua Dynasty had said before that the Demon Sect Young Master and the Buddha were two-in-one in life, one focusing on the body and the other on the soul.
To have such combat power focusing on the soul, how could the Demon Sect Young Master be easy to deal with?
And Ye Fan, what people saw more often was his powerful body. As for his soul, no one really knew if it was strong.
Therefore, many believed Ye Fan was doomed to lose this time and shouldn’t have accepted such a challenge as it was unfair to him.
A person skilled in physical combat dueling a soul attack specialist in soul combat; isn’t this seeking abuse?
By now, even Hu Fei and others had anxious hearts, restless and unsure. Although they had confidence in Ye Fan, that confidence was based on his strength. They didn’t deny Ye Fan’s strength was great, but whether his soul was strong was another story.
Yaling’s eyes flashed with a hint of worry, although she felt Ye Fan could create another miracle and win, yet her heart was never at ease.
Just as everyone awaited eagerly, the black fog on the battlefield gradually thinned, finally vanishing completely in the howling wind, revealing both Ye Fan and the Great Demon to the crowd.
"What is going on?"
Seeing Ye Fan and the Great Demon with their arms around each other, chatting and laughing as they approached, everyone was collectively petrified, rubbing their eyes in disbelief at what they saw.
Witnessing this, Hu Fei and Shi Ye first breathed a sigh of relief; at least Ye Fan wasn’t injured, which was a good sign.
Old Bastard, Seng Dao Yan, including the Emperor and the Old Emperor from the Yuehua Dynasty, crowded around to carefully examine the pair, finding neither injured, only severely consumed in Divine Soul Power, finally relaxing.
"The result of the contest, you should announce it yourselves!"
Old Bastard said.
There was no other way, as even they didn’t know the result of this soul duel, only the two involved knew.
Ye Fan and the Great Demon exchanged a glance before the Great Demon spoke, "I lost. Brother Ye’s soul is powerful, his techniques exquisite, I cannot compare!"
As soon as these words were uttered, the surroundings of the Life and Death Battle Arena erupted. No one could believe that Ye Fan actually won against the Great Demon in a soul duel; it was too surprising!
Those who had been proclaiming Ye Fan’s defeat were like they had been slapped hard in the face, their faces burning, unable to utter a word.
Ling Haotian and Gu Xiao’s faces turned pale like a sudden realization, a strong sense of powerlessness rising within.
Is this Ye Fan even human?
Not only is his body powerful, but he can even overpower the Demon Sect Young Master known for soul attacks. They had no hope left at all.
This result made many older generation strong people feel extremely astonished, re-evaluating Ye Fan, as if meeting him for the first time.
Victory after victory, Ye Fan created miracles!
Among the young generation in the Five Domains, he’s undoubtedly the number one. Even the four most outstanding demons who’ve stirred endless chaos in the Cultivation World of the Five Domains have all been defeated one after another. Who else can be his opponent?
Thinking of this, everyone turned their gaze toward Kou Wenjie, who had always been low-profile. As the eldest among the descendants of the Nine Great Bandits, his strength is definitely formidable, but whether he can defeat Ye Fan is uncertain without prior sparring.
However, many people believe that Kou Wenjie might not be able to defeat Ye Fan. Though his strength is also formidable, he is only on par with Li Yu’er and others. Ye Fan defeated Li Yu’er, Wen TaDou, Yu chanzi, and the Great Demon back-to-back, firmly establishing his position as the number one among the young generation.
Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Kou Wenjie smiled bitterly, knowing his strength well. Perhaps he could withstand Ye Fan for some time, but he would ultimately be the one defeated.
Given that, it would be better not to spar at all; his strength is recognized by everyone. Sparring holds little significance.
"Brother Kou, don’t you want to try? This is an excellent opportunity. Ye Fan has fought four Demon Level strong people consecutively, his strength is definitely not at its peak. This is the only time where you can beat him. Aren’t you tempted?"
An elite disciple from a Holy Land urged Kou Wenjie.
"I’m not the type to take advantage of someone’s peril; even if there’s sparring involved. It’ll wait until he’s fully recovered, to spar at his strongest stance. But right now, I’m interested in sparring with you. Would you honor me with guidance?"
Kou Wenjie saw through the person’s intention at a glance, sneering as he spoke.
"Uh... I’ll pass. I admit I’m not your match. Better not look for abuse."
The person left embarrassed, rubbing their nose awkwardly.
On the ancient battle arena, Ye Fan stood proudly, accepting challenges from all the young generation. His towering figure left a deep imprint in everyone’s Heart.
The young generation from the Five Domains naturally had some self-proclaimed demon-level geniuses ascend the arena but could not withstand even one move from Ye Fan, conceding defeat wholeheartedly.
Several people faced the same result, while others contemplating ascending lacked confidence. Ye Fan’s Divine Power seemed inexhaustible, astonishing them.
At this moment, Ye Fan, under everyone’s watchful eyes, once again pulled out the White Jade Furnace, pouring out a droplet of Dragon Essence, swallowing it like candy, making many eyes envious.
"A wastrel, truly the number one wastrel under the heavens. That’s Dragon Essence, a droplet can allow a cultivator to undergo rebirth, prolong life, and he just consumed it like that?"
Many living fossils with not much lifespan left were left dumbstruck, then cursed Ye Fan as a wastrel for not knowing how to utilize treasures properly.
Witnessing this, many young strong people lost spirit immediately, how could they compete now?
With Dragon Essence to restore Divine Power, fighting for three days and nights wouldn’t be an issue, his Divine Power is absolutely inexhaustible.
Even the Old Bastard and Seng Dao Yan and others were speechless; Ye Fan clearly showed no fear of any challenge, with Dragon Essence as his backup, who can outlast him?
Upon seeing the Dragon Essence in Ye Fan’s hand, the Old Emperor of Yuehua Dynasty’s eyes shone, casting a glance at Princess Yue Bai, using divine consciousness to transmit sound, though unknown what was said.
Princess Yue Bai looked troubled, then seemingly resolved, gracefully stepping toward Ye Fan.
"What? Did I see it wrong? Is Princess Yue Bai from Yuehua Dynasty going to spar with Ye Fan?"
Witnessing this, many young cultivators howled like wolves, Ling Haotian almost spewed fire from his eyes.
However, they soon realized their mistake, for when Princess Yue Bai arrived before Ye Fan, she did not propose sparring but softly requested, "Ye Fan, could you give me another drop of Dragon Essence?"
Ye Fan was taken aback, hadn’t he already given her over ten drops of Dragon Essence last time at the Immortal Mansion Ruins? Why ask for more?
Nonetheless, Ye Fan was not stingy. Though Dragon Essence was precious, he didn’t mind sharing it and immediately handed her the White Jade Furnace, saying, "There are three drops of Dragon Essence left inside; you can have them all."
"Thank you!"
Princess Yue Bai took the White Jade Furnace, her eyes sparkling with brilliance, deeply bowing to Ye Fan, then withdrew silently, leaving many female cultivators green with envy.
No one expected Ye Fan to be so generous. Three drops of Dragon Essence, giving them away so easily; indeed, not even the Earth Master Family would do so.
At this moment, they all had the idea that if they could get closer to Ye Fan, they might also receive treasures like Dragon Essence.
To date, no one further proposed sparring with Ye Fan. Many cultivators believed that they should instead foster good relations with Ye Fan.
Firstly, Ye Fan, through today’s sparring event, has established the number-one position among the young generation in the Five Domains!
Moreover, being friends with Ye Fan offers benefits?
