BOOM!
Chen Shao’an smashed into the ground, creating a large crater and spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
Then, a moment later, everyone cried out in shock.
"Holy shit, Chen Shao’an got taken out in one move."
"Hahaha!"
"The Northern Profound Domain has risen!"
The crowd from the Northern Profound Domain erupted in fervent cheers, the sound waves rolling in like a tide, one after another.
"Chen Shao’an, weren’t you supposed to be so badass? How’d you get blasted off the stage?"
"You snobs from the Western Profound Domain always look down on people, don’t you? Now you know how strong the Northern Profound Domain really is!"
"Look, Ye Langtian didn’t even draw his sword!"
Everyone turned to look at Ye Langtian and saw that, sure enough, the sword was still on his back, unsheathed.
This shocked the crowd even more.
Ye Langtian walked to the edge of the stage and said, "No wonder you kept calling yourself trash. Turns out you really are trash. You’re not even worthy of making me draw my sword."
"BLECH!"
Enraged, Chen Shao’an spat out another mouthful of black blood and roared, "You were hiding your strength, playing weak to catch a strong opponent?"
"Huh?"
Ye Langtian was dumbfounded.
’How was I hiding my strength?’
Chen Shao’an’s face was ashen as he said, "With your level of strength, there’s no way you were eliminated in three minutes. You... you... you lied to me."
"But I really was eliminated in three minutes."
Ye Langtian sighed. An image of a certain figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.
’That person’s a monster.’
Just then, Shi Lei and Liu Wuxie also arrived at the venue.
Shi Lei asked curiously, "Brother Liu, do you think Ye Langtian is lying?"
"He’s definitely lying!"
Liu Wuxie said with certainty, "That man possesses a Sword Bone, and his Sword Intent envelops his entire body. His power is immense. Among the younger generation of the Northern Profound Domain, there are definitely no more than twenty people who could surpass him."
"Twenty people?"
Shi Lei’s face was filled with shock.
Liu Wuxie continued his analysis, "With his strength, he might not rank in the top three, but placing in the top five or six should be no problem."
"I get it!"
Shi Lei nodded.
Although the Holy Spirit Assembly was open to the entire Northern Profound Domain, not every genius chose to participate.
He and Liu Wuxie, for instance, hadn’t gone.
Excluding the geniuses who didn’t participate, Ye Langtian definitely had the strength to achieve a good result, placing in the top five or six.
Shi Lei said, "In that case, Ye Langtian really is lying."
Liu Wuxie guessed, "He’s probably trying to lull Sun Shao’an into a false sense of security, then hit him with a show of force."
"You’re Young Master Liu, right?"
A young man nearby suddenly interjected, "Sorry, but you’ve guessed wrong."
"I’ve guessed wrong?"
Liu Wuxie looked at the young man with suspicion.
Shi Lei clasped his fist. "Brother, what do you mean Brother Liu guessed wrong?"
"It’s simple. Ye Langtian wasn’t lying!"
The young man said mildly.
"What?"
Liu Wuxie and Shi Lei both wore expressions of surprise.
The young man sighed. "Sigh... You won’t believe it, but a monster appeared at the Holy Spirit Assembly. He forced everyone to surrender and withdraw from the battlefield. Even Bai Luoxue and the Hua Celestial Sect were no exception."
"Holy shit!"
Shi Lei jumped to his feet. "Brother, you’ve got to be exaggerating."
The young man said mockingly, "Your Shi Family is a top-tier family in the Northern Profound Domain. Don’t tell me you can’t even find out this much information?"
"This..."
Shi Lei looked completely embarrassed.
He had been busy with other things at the time and hadn’t paid attention to the Holy Spirit Competition.
"I can’t believe something like that happened," Shi Lei lamented.
The young man said with disdain, "Those guys from the Western Profound Domain mock our Northern Profound Domain for having no one? Heh, if that person came, he could crush all of them, including those from the Central Profound Domain."
"Who is this person?"
Shi Lei asked excitedly.
’He definitely has to get to know a person of such an Abnormal Level.’
’I need to latch onto that powerhouse!’
...
On the stage, Ye Langtian stood with his hands behind his back. "Alright, who’s next from the Western Profound Domain? Preferably a genius who is actually worth me drawing my sword for."
"Draw his sword?"
The people from the Western Profound Domain looked at each other in dismay.
While Chen Shao’an wasn’t considered a top-tier genius in their Western Profound Domain, he wasn’t weak either. To be able to take out Chen Shao’an in one move meant that Ye Langtian’s strength was immense. If he were to draw his sword...
"Hahaha, is there no one left in the Western Profound Domain?"
"Anyone still breathing over there?"
"If there’s no one, then the Northern Profound Domain wins."
The people from the Northern Profound Domain felt an immense sense of satisfaction. For some time now, they had been brutally humiliated by the Western Profound Domain. Now, they could finally vent their frustration. They had finally gotten some payback.
Finally, someone from the Western Profound Domain couldn’t take it anymore. "Bullshit! I, Cai Hu of the Western Profound Domain, challenge you, Ye Langtian!"
WHOOSH!
Cai Hu transformed into an afterimage and leaped onto the stage.
"Cai Hu? A disciple from the Western Profound Domain’s Cai Family?"
"Yeah, he’s the Young Master of the Cai Family. His strength shouldn’t be weak. I wonder if he’s worthy of making Ye Langtian draw his sword."
The crowd looked at Cai Hu expectantly.
BAM!
After getting on stage, Cai Hu immediately attacked Ye Langtian. Every move was incredibly ferocious, intended to force Ye Langtian to draw his sword.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
However, after three moves, Ye Langtian still hadn’t drawn his sword.
Cai Hu snarled, "Ye Langtian, you live up to your name as a top genius of the Northern Profound Domain. But today, you must draw your sword, or you’ll never defeat me!"
"Heaven-Devouring Tiger Claw!"
Cai Hu roared, pressing his fists together to coalesce a giant black tiger.
"The Heaven-Devouring Tiger Claw? It’s indeed powerful, but still not enough to make me draw my sword," Ye Langtian said coolly, striking the black tiger with his palm.
BAM!
The black tiger exploded, and Cai Hu was knocked off the stage.
Ye Langtian said indifferently, "Cai Hu? Heh, you really are pretty lame."
"You..."
Cai Hu retreated, unwilling to accept defeat.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Immediately after, two more geniuses from the Western Profound Domain challenged Ye Langtian, and both were easily defeated.
Ye Langtian had won three consecutive matches without ever drawing his sword.
Ye Langtian said in disappointment, "Does your Western Profound Domain not have a single person worthy of making me draw my sword?"
"Damn it!"
"Fuck, this kid is showing off."
The faces of the Western Profound Domain’s members were filled with rage.
This martial gathering was meant to humiliate the Northern Profound Domain, but instead, the Western Profound Domain was the one being humiliated.
How could they possibly stand for that?
"Senior Brother Mu Hong..."
Ye Chuan looked toward Mu Hong.
Mu Hong said coldly, "You think I’m a sick cat just because this tiger hasn’t roared? Fine. I’ll be your challenger."
BAM!
Mu Hong stamped his foot and leaped onto the stage.
"Oh no, Mu Hong is making his move!"
"A few days ago, I personally saw Mu Hong slay a Tier Four Great Demon. His strength is terrifyingly abnormal."
"This time, Ye Langtian will have to draw his sword, right?"
"More than just drawing his sword, he’s going to get beaten to a pulp by Mu Hong."
Chen Ge asked worriedly, "Elder Su, do you think Ye Langtian can beat Mu Hong?"
Su Mo said impatiently, "Don’t bother me. Can’t you see I’m sleeping?"
Huh?
’At such an exciting moment, Su Mo has been sleeping this whole time?’
Chen Ge was speechless.
Xiao Lang said, "Brother Chen, don’t you find this boring?"
"Boring?"
Chen Ge replied, "I don’t think so at all!"
’Ye Langtian and Mu Hong were both top-tier geniuses. How could a clash between two people like that be boring?’
