Unrivaled Medicine God, page 390
But now, all hope was lost!
Even whether the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land could be preserved or not was a question.
The Holy Lord gave a sigh and said, “In these recent few decades, there were quite a few major forces’ holy artifacts that were stolen or snatched away. Among them, there was no lack of Rank Eight, Rank Seven, even Rank Six Holy Lands. Of course, there were also some small forces. And at the back of these incidences all had those black-robed peoples’ silhouettes. Their forms of address were different, but all carry a ‘holy’ word! There are holy follower, holy soldier, even holy general! And among them, the holy followers with the weakest strength has late-stage Phaseless Realm strength!”
Chen Qin was greatly alarmed when he heard that. Even a holy follower had such terrifying strength. Then how powerful would the strength of that whatever holy general be?
One had to know that that holy follower which appeared in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was merely just late-stage Phaseless Realm but forced the First Level Dao Profound Realm Tu You to forcefully display a cultivation art which reduced longevity, resulting in his foundations to be utterly ruined.
The strength of this mysterious power was simply too terrifying.
This kind of power was completely not what their Crimson Afterglow Holy Land could afford to provoke.
“In order to inquire about this intel, I paid an extremely heavy price and almost implicated the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. So later on, I also dispelled plans on taking revenge. This kind of force is completely not what we can provoke. Therefore, that’s why I would organize the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time to preserve some successors for the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land,” Tu You said with a slight sigh.
Chapter 800. The Abnormal Zhang Tianyi |
Right on the second day Nalan Chu left, news came from the holy hall.
The quotas for entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley this time increased from three to six!
The moment this news came out, it immediately blew up.
According to the holy hall’s news, the holy sons and the quasi-holy sons would each pick three people to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley.
This meant that one just had to enter the top three in the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition and they could enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley!
One spot was indeed too difficult for these geniuses. Unless their strength reached Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu’s level, otherwise, don’t even think about it at all.
Three quotas, it was clearly providing a chance for Han Feng, Wu Jiantong, these second-tier geniuses.
On the 15th day, these geniuses were all acting as if being injected with stimulants, desperately attacking their opponents frenziedly on the stages for the sake of obtaining victory.
Especially those geniuses in the top five. Apart from Zhang Tianyi who had yet to taste defeat, most of the others lost two to three matches.
Therefore, the battles between them appeared especially important.
( .c om ) As luck would have it, during the competition on the 15th day, Wu Jiantong ran into Ye Yuan.
On the arena, Wu Jiantong’s expression was incomparably ugly but kept delaying and dare not make a move.
“Yii? Why aren’t you making a move yet? I remember that you seemed to have said not to let me bump into you on the stage. Or else, you’ll make me die very horribly. Now that we met, why are you not making a move instead?” Ye Yuan said derided.
Up until now, Wu Jiantong lost a total of two matches. One match was lost to Nalan Chu, and the other was lost to Zhang Tianyi.
This battle result was still not bad. The ranking was also very close to the front.
But if he lost this match to Ye Yuan again, his situation would be very bad.
But having witnessed Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu’s great battle, how could Wu Jiantong still dare to make a move?
He did not wish to give Ye Yuan a chance to humiliate himself!
Gritting his teeth, Wu Jiantong said, “I admit defeat!”
Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised expression and said with a smile, “Very wise choice. Otherwise, you might not be able to go down the stage standing.”
Wu Jiantong gave a cold snort and went down the platform directly.
Conceding this match, he would have to put up a desperate fight with Han Feng later.
Apart from Ye Yuan and Zhang Tianyi, the ones with the greatest hope of entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley were Han Feng and Wu Jiantong.
Although Han Feng comprehended a supreme true intent, his cultivation realm was a little low; it was only at the Seventh Level Intent Boundless Realm.
If not for so, Wu Jiantong could withdraw straight away.
The Li Zongtao whose performance was very eye-catching previously lost battle after battle repeatedly later on and already basically withdrew from the Crimson Afterglow Valley contending fights.
After Nalan Chu withdrew, all of the focus right now were on Ye Yuan and Zhang Tianyi.
This Zhang Tianyi was very abnormal. He clearly did not comprehend a supreme true intent, but his strength was unexpectedly formidable. Up until now, he had yet to taste a single defeat.
The genius martial artists who fought with him before all felt somewhat baffled after losing and actually did not know what happened, then they were defeated.
Even someone as powerful as Han Feng also suffered a great deal under Zhang Tianyi’s hands.
Of course, this was also that Zhang Tianyi’s luck was good and did not bump into Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu until now.
( .c om ) With Nalan Chu withdrawing, these two people’s battle naturally became the struggle for first place.
Finally, Ye Yuan and Zhang Tianyi met on the 18th day.
“Ye Yuan, I know that your concepts comprehension is very high. But in front of me, it’s also useless no matter how high your concepts comprehension is! Nalan Chu’s withdrawal is also considered him keeping his face. Otherwise, he’ll definitely be someone who is defeated at my hands!”
Ye Yuan’s strength was already universally acknowledged terrifying. Yet, Zhang Tianyi seemed to pay no attention to it.
Facing such a provocation, Ye Yuan had always chosen to disregard it.
It was also useless no matter how fiercely one bragged. There was only the showcasing of one’s true abilities.
A guy who did not even comprehend a supreme true intent, Ye Yuan did not feel that he posed any threat to him.
“Talk this sort of big talk again after beating me.” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“Heh, as you wish!”
Zhang Tianyi gave a cold laugh, wielded his sword, and advanced forward. His speed seemed slow but was fast in reality, arriving in front of Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.
But this sort of speed had not the slightest bit of threat to Ye Yuan at all.
Two swords intersecting, intense metal clashing sounds burst out.
Zhang Tianyi’s attack was indeed not bad. But to talk about power, it seemed like it was still a little weaker than Han Feng’s.
But right at this time, a stream of bizarre power crept up from the sword body, surging straight for Ye Yuan’s divine soul!
This kind of offensive power was not strong. It seemingly did not have a great effect on the divine soul too.
But being attacked by this bizarre power, Ye Yuan’s movements involuntarily paused.
And right at this time, Zhang Tianyi suddenly switched moves, swinging away Ye Yuan’s Xuanying Sword, and headed straight for his abdomen!
Regarding Zhang Tianyi’s series of offensive tricks, Ye Yuan had long heard of it to some extent.
He would never compete in big moves with others. Once the competition began, he would immediately entangle his opponents and not give his opponent the opportunity to launch a big move at all.
And once being tangled up with him, the other party would not have the chance to use an ultimate move anymore.
In the end, they would not even know how they lost.
Very clearly, Ye Yuan also fell into this strange circle with this.
Ye Yuan’s leaned sideways and barely avoided Zhang Tianyi’s sword.
But the next instant, Zhang Tianyi’s sword light arrived again, akin to a bone infesting maggot.
Ye Yuan’s Xuanying Sword swung, and he blocked Zhang Tianyi’s sword once more.
Right at that instant, the two swords intersected, there was another stream of strange attack which attacked towards Ye Yuan’s divine soul.
Starting from the first sword, Zhang Tianyi’s sword did not leave Ye Yuan’s surroundings one foot, virtually making people unable to catch their breaths.
Furthermore, his sword art was incomparably exquisite, seemingly a martial technique specialized in close combat. No matter how Ye Yuan shook it off, he could not get rid of it either.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people all had their jaws drop.
“It’s here again! Could it be that even Ye Yuan can’t break Zhang Tianyi’s curse as well?”
“Even though Zhang Tianyi did not comprehend a sword intent, his sword move is indeed incomparably exquisite. Unless one has extremely powerful close combat martial techniques, otherwise, they won’t be his match at all. Ye Yuan is already being utterly suppressed by him now. If there are no accidents, the die is cast.”
“I really didn’t expect this! Ye Yuan even defeated Nalan Chu and actually can’t win against Zhang Tianyi! This Zhang Tianyi, completely can’t feel where he’s strong at. Yet, everyone can’t beat him. Really sinister.”
Speaking of which, Zhang Tianyi’s way of winning made people very unwilling to concede.
Each time he won others, it was not like Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu they all; his battle was neat and direct. Unless it was those kind whose strength were slightly weaker, otherwise, it was fighting up to a hundred rounds every time, even several hundred rounds before barely defeating his opponent.
Therefore, those who fought with Zhang Tianyi and were defeated all felt very unconvinced when they thought about it afterward, feeling that their strength should not be weaker than his.
But in the end, why were they the ones who lost?
This selection competition was already approaching the end. But until now, everyone did not figure out how Zhang Tianyi could win battle after battle repeatedly.
When Zhang Tianyi saw Ye Yuan teetering on his feet, an appearance of almost could not hold on anymore, he was very proud of himself in his heart.
So what if it was supreme true intent?
Can’t use moves, what did it matter no matter how strong their concepts?
Zhang Tianyi was currently being pleased with himself when a surge of true dragon aura abruptly erupted!
Clank!
Ye Yuan actually forsook the sword and used his fist to forcefully receive this sword of Zhang Tianyi’s, blasting away his longsword.
Chapter 801. Actually, I'm Just an Alchemist |
“What a powerful physical body, to actually forcefully shake a profound artifact bare-handedly!”
“Is this guy human or not? Concepts comprehension is so high, even his physical body is so powerful too. Simply freakish!”
“Ye Yuan seemed to have refined the dragon race’s bloodline, that’s why his fleshy body is so strong! Not only is this guy’s comprehension abilities abnormally high, but this fortuitous encounter also makes people envious too!”
Zhang Tianyi’s sword was a profound artifact too. A profound artifact’s sharpness went without saying.
Ye Yuan actually used his fist to knock away Zhang Tianyi’s longsword. It could be seen how powerful his physical body was.
What Zhang Tianyi was shocked by was not that Ye Yuan’s physical body was powerful. What he was shocked by was that Ye Yuan could actually counter-attack!
“So, it’s a soul martial artist. No wonder,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Zhang Tianyi’s expression changed, not expecting Ye Yuan to say out his identity flatly.
Even in the Divine Realm, soul martial artists were extremely rare too. After all, cultivating martial arts and cultivating the soul at the same time would expend tremendous amounts of energy, with losses outweighing the gains.
Those like Zhang Tianyi, having such cultivation at a young age, were indeed extremely rare geniuses.
“Soul martial artist! Zhang Tianyi is actually a soul martial artist! No wonder his attacks are so bizarre, making it impossible to guard against!” Someone exclaimed under the stage.
The attack methods of soul martial artists were extremely odd. Ordinary people could not guard against at all.
And Zhang Tianyi’s divine soul attack measure belonged to those type of constant dripping to wear away. Once or twice could not feel it at all, making it even hard to guard against.
Therefore, those martial artists who fought with Zhang Tianyi previously all lost bafflingly.
“Humph! Even if you know that I’m a soul martial artist, so what? The one who loses, in the end, is still you!” Zhang Tianyi’s face fell, and he pounced once more.
Ye Yuan smiled slightly and actually wielded his sword and went forward again, entangling together with Zhang Tianyi!
Zhang Tianyi was overjoyed when he saw the situation. He was afraid that Ye Yuan would play hide-and-seek with him and not clash head-on with him, then look for an opportunity to release a big move.
The martial technique when Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu were battling that day, it was still vivid in his mind. Once Ye Yuan had the chance to use that move, he would lose for sure.
Now, Ye Yuan actually continued to fight in close combat with him. What was this if not courting death?
But the moment both parties’ longswords intersected, Zhang Tianyi suddenly felt his own divine soul quiver and actually had a split-second of absent-mindedness!
But Zhang Tianyi was deserving of being called a soul martial artist. He reacted to it virtually right away and hurriedly jumped aside, avoiding Ye Yuan’s next attack.
“You’re actually a soul martial artist too! This … This is impossible!” Zhang Tianyi cried out in shock.
“What?! Ye Yuan is a soul martial artist too? This … How is this possible?”
“What kind of joke is this? Having a fifth-stage supreme true intent, fleshy body comparable to a profound artifact, and is even a soul martial artist. This … Is there really such a freak in this world?”
“Soul martial artists are extremely rare. Today, two popped out all at once. What in the world is happening?”
Zhang Tianyi’s panic cry immediately caused a wave of commotion.
They all did not think that not only was Ye Yuan’s comprehension abilities abnormally high, but he was also actually even a soul martial artist of the legends!
Adding on that freakish fleshy body, such a person simply had no weakness to exploit!
No wonder Ye Yuan leaped realms to battle like eating and drinking. Who could be even more freakish than him?
“Soul martial artist is it? Uh … Actually, I’m just an alchemist,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“Hahaha! This boy is really aggravating! But you just can’t do anything about it, because he’s really just an alchemist,” Pei Wenqiang burst into laughter beneath the stage and said.
Actually, before the competition this time, Pei Wenqiang only knew that Ye Yuan was a very formidable alchemist, and completely did not know that he was even a martial artist at all.
Who could have thought that not only was Ye Yuan’s attainments in the divine soul exceedingly high, he even had such ridiculous accomplishments along the Martial Path?
These words that Ye Yuan said, Pei Wenqiang was the most profoundly affected by it.
“A-Alchemist?” Zhang Tianyi was speechless.
Since when did alchemists have such formidable combat strength?
Just that bit earlier, Zhang Tianyi already sensed that Ye Yuan’s divine soul attainments were actually even above his!
This guy simply had no chinks in his armor!
Such an opponent, how to defeat?
“That’s right, I opened a medicinal shop in Ancient Opulence City. If you need medicinal pills, you can come and find me,” Ye Yuan said smilingly.
“I … I admit defeat!” Zhang Tianyi said extremely unwillingly.
But facing a perverse fellow like Ye Yuan, what could he do if he did not concede?
Divine soul attack could not beat the other party. He could not win the other party in martial arts. Apart from admitting defeat, there was nothing else that Zhang Tianyi could do at all.
“Hahaha, I really didn’t expect it, didn’t expect it! A member of my Ancient Opulence City actually won the championship of the competition this time!” Pei Wenqiang was simply thrilled.
Back then, he only gave this spot to Ye Yuan in order to repay his life-saving grace. Who knew that Ye Yuan directly took back the first place for him.
When he heard Ye Yuan saying that he wanted to take first place for the first time, he even reproved Ye Yuan. Who knew that Ye Yuan finished off Nalan Chu first, and disposed of Zhang Tianyi as well, utterly locking down the position of first place.
This was unparalleled glory!
Giving a plum in return for a peach. This ‘plum’ that Ye Yuan gave him was truly a little too big.
Yang Sen had a delighted look too. Ye Yuan seizing the championship, he naturally felt a glow on his face too.
…
At night, in the holy hall, First Elder Chen Qin was currently telling Tu You about this afternoon’s competition with dancing eyebrows and a look of exultation.
While talking, Chen Qin was not stingy with praises of Ye Yuan in the slightest.
A genius like Ye Yuan was extremely popular when placed in any holy land, let alone a declined holy land like the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land?
Tu You’s face was quite calm as if he had long known about Ye Yuan’s freakishness.
After Chen Qin said finish, Tu You asked, “This Ye Yuan is really just an ascender who came from the Lower Realms?”
“Absolutely true! I’ve already investigated personally before and also made people ask the Pei Family before. This Ye Yuan is indeed just an ascender. Furthermore, his age is merely just past 20! This level of genius, even when placed in a Rank Three or Rank Four Holy Land, he would also be extremely popular. Let alone that he’s even a very incredible alchemist!” Chen Qin said agitatedly.
