Chapter 2059: Chapter 2060: Who Is More Domineering?
Of course, many have heard of the conflict between the two, seemingly over a body cultivation technique!
Seeing Li Ba step out first, some people suddenly realized!
This Li Ba is a special existence, obsessed with body cultivation since childhood, yet his progress was slow. However, his talents in cultivation were astonishing!
At ten years old, he had no choice but to practice body cultivation while also focusing on cultivation!
This meant he cultivated ten years less than others! But what’s shocking is! Five years later! Just five years! His cultivation surpassed his peers!
Another five years went by, and except for a few prodigies like Wan Hou, almost all young talents in Kunwu Sect were no match for him!
Some elders even said his talent was unmatched in Kunwu Sect, and in a few years, he might surpass Wan Hou!
Also, while he was cultivating normally, he was still researching that body cultivation method, and through the years, his physique became exceptionally strong! This added a layer of strength to his abilities.
Therefore, his fight with Ye Luo over that secret manual wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision! He had long heard of this body cultivation technique, but firstly, the probability of success was too low, and secondly, he had just come out of seclusion, so he missed the book by a step!
"Hehe, kid, are you regretting now? If you hand over that manual and kneel to apologize in front of everyone, maybe I’ll spare your life!" Li Ba said domineeringly.
Li Ba has a unique personality; sometimes refined like a cultured scholar, and other times, foul-mouthed, unscrupulous like a town thug!
Just like when Ye Luo first met him, he was a shy scholar; Ye Luo even wondered why he had the name Li Ba!
Now it seems, the name is quite fitting.
However, Ye Luo never planned to act low-key, so he stepped forward boldly.
"Is your brain damaged from being in seclusion? Whoever gets the manual first owns it. If you can’t get it, it’s fate that the technique isn’t for you. Even if you get it, you’ll only end up with cultivation errors. I suggest you give up!"
Hearing these words, people around gasped in shock.
Damn, that’s Li Ba! Even Wan Hou wouldn’t dare talk to him like that!
Previously, rumors about the conflict between Ye Luo and Li Ba were hardly believed; who would dare provoke that madman Li Ba? Even if someone did, it must have been accidental!
But now it seems, that was definitely not the case!
This guy should be called Liu Ba, even more arrogant than Li Ba!
Li Ba was not angered by these words; instead, he laughed elegantly, though his aura was icy cold!
The geniuses around him stared at him in astonishment.
Even Wan Hou was the same!
These people, both his friends and rivals, knew well that this expression meant he was at the peak of fury!
They’ve only seen this expression once before, two years ago, when he wasn’t as famous as he is now!
Back then, he indeed appeared to be a frail scholar, not eccentric, and unlike Wan Hou, who was born a prince of the Wan Family, he was merely a collateral member of the Li Family, rising step by step on his own strength!
Thus, before he became famous, his days were not easy!
Somehow, an Elder from Kunwu Sect took a liking to his younger sister!
Although just an ordinary Elder, the position was not that different from the head of the Li Family, and an Elder fancying a collateral daughter was a big deal for the Li Family!
So, without hesitation, the Li Family betrothed Li Ba’s sister to this Elder, and no matter how the siblings pleaded to the Family Head, they could not change this outcome!
Therefore, they thought of a plan, which was to escape!
Yet, they had no power like Wan Hou in the Wan Family, to potentially change things. Both were just children back then, what could they change!
They hadn’t even left Kunwu Sect when the Elder caught them, took his sister back and humiliated her, and she was a chaste woman who ended her life!
This Li Ba didn’t say a word, didn’t even see his sister’s body, yet entered seclusion!
Everyone thought he was scared, but three months later, he emerged!
Indeed, just three months later, he went to the Elder’s house. What happened that night remains unknown to outsiders, only known to Kunwu Sect’s high-ranking officials.
By morning, the Elder was found dead!
Since then, not only was Li Ba not punished, but he was valued by the sect!
Moreover, even the head of the Li Family was forced to retire, barely allowing Li Ba to stay!
But from then on, Li Ba developed a dual personality: sometimes domineering, sometimes elegant.
Having been hurt, he could no longer tolerate others looking down on him!
"Today, you must die!"
He said hoarsely, his eyes blood-red!
Ye Luo naturally didn’t know Li Ba’s past and was indifferent to his threats.
All he needed was to win the candidate qualification.
Moreover, he suddenly thought of a problem; if he beat this guy, others surely wouldn’t challenge him anymore! That would be an easy solution!
"Hehe, you want me dead, let’s see if you have the ability!" Ye Luo retorted defiantly.
"Since you both have the thought, the first round will be between you two!" The Elder looked at them and said plainly.
Both nodded almost simultaneously. Although Li Ba was furious, he knew the dignity of Kunwu Sect could not be challenged, not even by a genius like him!
With a swift move, Li Ba reached the stage, looking disdainfully at Ye Luo below!
Ye Luo smiled, then leaped up to the stage.
Instantly, the spectators looked on with contempt!
Just now, Li Ba used an extremely advanced spell, while Ye Luo? He merely jumped up like a monkey!
Just from their entrance, the difference was clear!
Moreover, no one believed Ye Luo could defeat Li Ba!
After all, the Liu Family was always at the bottom every year, whereas the Li Family, they were always in the top three, the gap was too wide.
