In the secret chamber, three beams of light from the Soul Devouring Spear darted through the air. Amidst the light, a blue figure danced with two Heaven and Earth Shields, blocking left and right, causing countless bursts of energy to explode with a series of "bangs."
Ye Yang appeared calm, his palms open as he watched the three Soul Devouring Spears with confidence and composure in his dark eyes.
Not far away, Zeng Xuan spread her snow-white fingers, a smile on her face as her robe swayed in the strong wind. She controlled the three Soul Devouring Spears to attack Ye Yang from different angles.
However, Ye Yang swung his arms in a circle, the Heaven and Earth Shields clashing against the Soul Devouring Spears with a ringing sound, successfully defending without letting a single drop through!
"Hey, Sister Xuan, your Soul Devouring Spear is ineffective against me now!" Ye Yang said with a faint smile.
Zeng Xuan raised an eyebrow with a smirk, "Is that so?"
Suddenly, the three Soul Devouring Spears shone brightly again and flew towards Ye Yang!
"Boom!"
The Heaven and Earth Shield shattered in response, and Ye Yang's right leg was pierced by a Soul Devouring Spear, blood gushing forth as he suffered another crushing defeat under Zeng Xuan's fierce assault.
"Ugh..."
With a pained groan, Ye Yang lifted his head and angrily questioned, "Sister Zeng Xuan, this power is not even one-tenth of your true strength!"
Zeng Xuan chuckled as she approached, her small white hand resting on Ye Yang's chest. She infused him with the magical power of soul healing while lightly laughing, "Of course, this is only two-tenths of my strength. I can already tell that one-tenth of my power can't inflict any harm on you; otherwise, it wouldn't be fun at all."
Ye Yang looked at the large blood hole in his leg and asked, "Is this the result you wanted?"
"Yes."
Zeng Xuan nodded seriously and said, "Ye Yang, you are indeed improving very quickly. You managed to master the essence of Heaven and Earth Shield in just one day and night. However, you are still far from enough. If you encounter a master at Earth Level Seven with your current strength, you will undoubtedly perish!"
At that moment, a surge of Soul Power rose, revealing Qin Fang, with Phantom's body floating in mid-air. He said, "Zeng Xuan, this isn't a trial for Ye Yang; it's tormenting him. Look at his injuries..."
Zeng Xuan blinked and replied, "Is there a difference?"
Qin Fang shook his head helplessly. "Sigh..."
Zeng Xuan floated to the edge of the bed and smiled, "Old man Qin Fang, are you feeling sorry for your descendant? If you're not satisfied, why not solidify and fight me for real!"
Qin Fang chuckled, "If I weren't a Soul Entity, your fifth-level starry sky cultivation wouldn't be able to withstand my full power strike..."
Zeng Xuan proudly said, "That's nobody's fault. Our victory lies in the fact that I'm alive while you're already dead!"
As she spoke, Zeng Xuan looked up at the ceiling and said, "Today seems to be some big day for the Fire God Clan; many people have gathered at the Fire God Altar!"
Ye Yang pondered for a moment and replied, "Today is the day of the Fire God Clan's new talent competition."
"Oh?"
Zeng Xuan suddenly chuckled lightly, her beautiful blood-red eyes filled with delight. She said, "Ye Yang, you're also a new talent of the Ye Family. Why don't you participate? Let me and old man Qin Fang see the results of your training these past few days!"
Ye Yang thought to himself, "What results? It's probably just my resilience after being trampled."
However, Ye Yang felt a stir in his heart; participating in the family’s new talent competition was indeed a good idea. There were only two new talents in the Ye Family: himself and Ye Shuang, who was clearly far behind.
Zeng Xuan stood up and grabbed Ye Yang's arm with a smile. "It's settled then! Let's go participate in the competition!"
"Wait... wait!" Ye Yang looked at Zeng Xuan in surprise and asked, "You're going out like this?"
Zeng Xuan glanced at herself and asked, "What's wrong? Is it inappropriate?"
Ye Yang's gaze swept over Zeng Xuan's entire body. She wore a thin upper garment that clung to her figure, accentuating her graceful curves, which were as white as snow. Her lower half was covered by a scant piece of fabric wrapped around her legs, and she had no shoes on at all. Her jade-like feet were pure and spotless, without a speck of dust. The strength of this Starry Sky Level Expert was extraordinary.
After looking a moment longer, Ye Yang asked, "Do you think this outfit is appropriate? Those old fossils from the Fire God Clan are quite conservative. If you insist on going out like this, then don’t walk with me, and don’t say you know me..."
Zeng Xuan glanced down at her figure and smiled, "What, do you dislike my outfit? Fine, if you dare to say another word, I’ll take care of you right now!"
Ye Yang raised his eyebrows, "Just like that, it’s quite good!"
"…"
Zeng Xuan thought for a moment and finally took a bright red Cloak from beside the bed and draped it over herself, instantly covering her exquisite form. However, her snowy white legs remained exposed, still strikingly beautiful.
Ye Yang looked at her again but said nothing.
Zeng Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of menace: "You little brat, still daring to look? Am I not stunning?"
"Yes, stunning indeed..."
Ye Yang nodded but then recalled Yun Xiaoxi, the breathtaking girl who had once appeared in Liang City. She truly embodied the term 'stunning,' while Zeng Xuan was better described as enchanting.
"Sister Xuan, what kind of sect is Serene Gate?" Ye Yang couldn't help but ask.
Zeng Xuan paused for a moment and replied, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"Just asking casually."
"Don't ask again next time; otherwise, I'll take care of you!"
"Alright, you're really kind."
"Well, do you think so too?"
"......"
Ye Yang looked around and said, "Where do we go out? If we exit from the Fire Dragon Cave entrance, we will surely not escape the eyes of those people."
Zeng Xuan smiled slightly, "What are you afraid of? Just follow me!"
"Oh?"
Arriving at the entrance, Zeng Xuan crossed her hands, the starlight swirling, and shouted, "Spirit Concealment Technique!"
"Wow!"
A burst of white mist rose up, enveloping Ye Yang and Zeng Xuan.
"So, others won't be able to see us?" Ye Yang asked.
Zeng Xuan nodded, "Yes, by using the principle of light refraction, Starlight Power transfers the light from the scenery behind us to the front, so in the eyes of others, we do not exist."
"But I still have this feeling of being exposed..."
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
Quietly opening the door just a crack, the two flew out.
Outside was a cacophony of voices; the Fire God Altar was directly opposite the Arena, which was surrounded by people. Indeed, it was a grand event for the entire Fire God Clan!
Zeng Xuan tightly held onto Ye Yang's arm and led him away from the Fire God Altar. As they passed through the forest, the effect of Spirit Concealment Technique vanished.
"The seats for the Ye Family are over there!" Zeng Xuan pointed.
"Do you want to go over with me?" Ye Yang asked.
Zeng Xuan nodded, "Mm."
"How should I explain this?"
"Whatever you want!"
"Alright then..."
Ye Yang leaped onto the high platform with remarkable agility, while Zeng Xuan floated down beside him like a phantom, clearly showcasing their differences in skill.
Ye Nantian was the first to see his beloved son return and exclaimed joyfully, "Zi Yu, you finally made it!"
Ye Yang nodded.
Ye Nantian's gaze fell on Zeng Xuan. Although she was draped in a cloak that concealed her impressive figure, her beautiful face could not be hidden. Ye Nantian was secretly astonished and asked, "Zi Yu, who is this young lady?"
Ye Yang glanced at Zeng Xuan and replied, "Father, this young lady is someone I won from the Baise Gambling House. Well, she will be my personal maid from now on."
"Mm, oh, alright..." Ye Nantian hesitated but did not say anything further.
However, Zeng Xuan's killing intent was evident as she raised her right hand like a blade, with strands of Starlight Power swirling around her. She whispered fiercely, "You little brat, do you want to die? How dare you... say I'm your personal maid?"
Ye Yang remained calm and said, "As for your identity, you said it was up to me. I just need to ensure that your identity remains undisclosed. Don't tell me Sister Zeng Xuan doesn't want to watch the martial arts competition?"
"Hmph!"
Zeng Xuan adjusted her cloak and sat down on the stone bench beside Ye Yang. It seemed that Ye Yang was gradually picking up on some clues. Although Zeng Xuan possessed extraordinary cultivation, she had lived in seclusion underground for many years. Time had passed, yet she still maintained the demeanor of a young girl.
As long as he did not touch Zeng Xuan's reverse scale, Ye Yang was confident that he would be safe. Zeng Xuan's reverse scale was the Asura Hall and Serene Gate; as for the details, that was beyond Ye Yang's understanding.
Suddenly, flames erupted in the Arena, and amidst the raging fire, a figure stepped forward—it was Peng Feng, the leader of the Fire God Clan, a super strong individual with Earth Level Nine strength!
Zeng Xuan gazed intently and couldn't help but chuckle, "He has some weight to him, but as the leader of the Fire God Clan, he's rather lacking. Thousands of years ago, the leader of the Fire God Clan must have been a Starry Sky Realm Expert. It seems this family is indeed declining..."
Ye Yang remained silent.
In the arena, Peng Feng waved his robe and declared sternly, "Esteemed members of various families, it is time for the Fire God Clan's new talent competition. I hope our new talents can showcase their abilities and fight for the prosperity of the Fire God Clan!"
With that, Peng Feng gracefully left and returned to his seat as the head of the Peng Family. Beside him was the delicate and graceful Peng Yue'er, holding a brand new long sword and occasionally glancing over at Ye Yang.
The venue fell silent until one person stood up—it was Cao De, the head of the Cao Family. His voice boomed as he announced, "The rules of the competition are challenge-based. One person will take the stage to accept challenges from others. Within half a day, the last person standing on stage will be declared the winner of this competition!"
This cruel challenge system meant that strong individuals would face a wheel battle while weaker ones might not even get a chance to step onto the stage.
Zeng Xuan raised an eyebrow and lightly laughed, "Kid, go on! Your opportunity to shine has come!"
Ye Yang coughed lightly, "I can't go up now; I'd definitely be exhausted by a wheel battle. Only a fool would go up..."
"Hmph, you're so lacking in ambition!" Zeng Xuan shot him a disdainful look.
Ye Yang smiled. A Starry Sky Expert looking down on him could be seen as a compliment. Generally speaking, Starry Sky Experts held an arrogant attitude towards ordinary martial artists and hardly paid them any attention. This was the rule of this world: strength meant everything and could surpass all else.
Moreover, if a Starry Sky Level Expert killed someone, they would not be pursued by the empire. In this world where strength reigned supreme, Starry Sky Experts were powerful beings that every faction and nation sought to recruit. Some Starry Sky Experts could even reach such formidable heights that they could split the earth and establish their own kingdoms!
Everyone was eagerly waiting, and finally, a member of the Zhen Family leaped onto the stage. He was a warrior wielding a Battle Axe, with a robust build and bulging muscles, dressed in a tiger-striped tunic, and three golden stars shimmering on his chest. He was an Earth Level Three warrior.
"My name is Zhenhu! Any brothers from other families who are unconvinced can come up and experience my strength!" Zhenhu shouted loudly, clearly dismissing the other young talents.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man holding a War Blade rushed onto the stage and said, "Brother Zhenhu, I am Cao Ren, here to challenge your skills!"
Zhenhu laughed heartily and suddenly roared, summoning countless yellow flames around him, forming a powerful protective aura.
Zeng Xuan sneered, "The defensive Martial Arts Manual—Fire Rock Shield, a Yellow Rank intermediate Martial Arts Manual. Hmph, this is truly just a child's play competition..."
Ye Yang observed closely; indeed, Zhenhu's defense had significantly strengthened in an instant. However, it was still not strong enough. Of course, that was another matter for his opponent.
Cao Ren leaped up and swung his long blade down from above!
"Bang!"
The Fire Rock Shield vibrated with a buzzing sound, but Zhenhu remained unmoved. With a loud shout, he pushed forward with his body, instantly rebounding with immense force!
"Pfft..."
Cao Ren spat out blood and fell to the stage like a kite with its string cut. It took him several minutes to struggle to his feet and clasp his fists, saying, "Brother Zhenhu, I admit defeat..."
Zhenhu returned the gesture: "Thank you for your kindness, brother!"
In an instant, cheers erupted from the Zhen Family side.
Cao De's expression turned very grim as another young man stepped forward to fight.
However, after just a few exchanges, he too was defeated.
Zhenhu wore a proud expression on his face. Among the younger generation, achieving Earth Level Three was indeed quite rare. Cao De could only lament that he wasn't thirty years younger; otherwise, he would have personally gone up to teach this mere Earth Level Three kid a lesson.
……
At the Peng Family seating area.
Peng Feng leaned slightly and chuckled softly, “Yue'er, go ahead!”
“Okay!”
Peng Yue'er nodded, her figure graceful as she floated down to the edge of the Arena. Holding a slender sword, she smiled and said, “Zhenhu brother, you must go easy on your little sister~”
Zhenhu was taken aback and laughed, “Yue'er, you’re joking. You are at least Earth Level Four in strength; how could I possibly be your opponent? Then… please teach me!”
“Alright!”
With her long sword lowered, Peng Yue'er looked ahead with poise. Her snow-white arms faintly glowed with flames as a massive amount of Fire God Power surged into her sword. In the next moment, the sword hummed with energy, surrounded by crimson flames!
“Wha—?” Zhenhu exclaimed in shock.
Peng Yue'er chuckled lightly, “This is a Ninth-Grade Weapon, so be careful!”
Zhenhu's eyes turned blood-red as he fully unleashed his Fire God Power, already resolved to settle the outcome in one move!
With a confident smile, Peng Yue'er raised her sword and suddenly closed in. Her graceful figure spun around as the Sharp Sword, infused with Fire God Power, swept across!
“Whoosh…”
After a light sound, Zhenhu knelt on one knee. His powerful Fire Rock Shield had shattered into countless energy sparks, and a long sword mark was left across his chest, blood splattering out.
“Brother Zhenhu, thank you for your kindness!”
Peng Yue'er smiled lightly while holding her sword, and Zhenhu covered his injured area, dejectedly stepping down. In truth, the moment Peng Yue'er stepped onto the stage, he had already anticipated the outcome. Compared to the genius girl of the family, although he had decent talent, he could only be considered mediocre.
……
Peng Yue'er stood proudly on the stage and playfully asked, “Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me and my sword?”
The crowd was unwilling to accept defeat. The younger generation of the Fire God Clan alone had at least a hundred members. While the Ye Family was in decline, the Cao Family, Tuk Family, and Zhen Family still had dozens of promising young talents. Naturally, they were all eager to prove themselves. Even though they knew Peng Yue'er had already reached Earth Level Five, they still took turns stepping onto the stage.
In the end, all of them became defeated opponents, with hardly anyone able to withstand even a single strike from Peng Yue'er.
“Hmph, this is truly disappointing…”
Standing at the edge of the stage, Peng Yue'er looked down with pride and said, “Is this all that the younger generation has to offer? Just a bunch of mediocre fools?”
“Who are you calling a fool?!” On the stage, a young man raised his sword angrily. It was none other than Ye Shuang, cousin of Ye Yang.
Peng Yue'er sneered coldly, “Ye Shuang? That's right, I'm talking about you. So what?”
“You!” Ye Shuang's face turned red with anger as he leaped onto the high platform and shouted, “I… I challenge you, you arrogant woman!”
“Hmph, fool!” Peng Yue'er continued to laugh mockingly.
Ye Shuang was furious and infused Fire God Power into his Iron Sword before striking out with a powerful slash!
“Crack…”
With a crisp sound, Peng Yue'er moved like a shadow past him. The next moment, Ye Shuang let out a horrifying scream as his sword arm was completely severed!
“Frost Child!”
Ye Beichi was taken aback and hurriedly flew onto the stage. To his surprise, Peng Yue'er had gathered her energy, raising her palm silently. Instantly, Ye Beichi was struck by an invisible force, causing him to tumble backward and spit out blood, old and new wounds overlapping.
Peng Yue'er looked coldly at Ye Beichi, chuckling lightly, “Master Blacksmith? You're so weak that it's simply a joke. I think it’s best for Ye Family Forge to close down to avoid further embarrassment!”
As she spoke, Peng Yue'er raised her long sword, its light shining brightly as if she intended to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Beichi!
…
At that moment, a blue figure darted past, and Ye Beichi vanished. Peng Yue'er’s sword energy struck the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
“This… how is this possible?”
Peng Yue'er widened her eyes, only to find Ye Yang gently supporting Ye Beichi and placing him on a chair, his eyes filled with flames of anger.
“Ye Yang, are you finally ready to fight?” Peng Yue'er sneered in fury.
“Yes!”
Ye Yang stepped onto the high platform, reaching out to embrace Ye Shuang, grabbing the Severed Arm and placing it with the healer before returning to the stage.
Their eyes met again; the two top experts of the Fire God Clan were reunited!
One was a young lady known as a genius since childhood, possessing extraordinary talent and strength above Earth Level Five. The other was a boy labeled as useless but had shocked the Fire God Clan by defeating Peng Yue'er with just Three Moves days earlier!
Looking at the bloodstains on Peng Yue'er Blade, Ye Yang said calmly, “You are too cruel!”
“I enjoy it!”
Peng Yue'er raised the Sharp Sword and sneered, "Today, this sword will not only drink blood but will also drink yours!"
"Is that so?"
Ye Yang reached behind him and drew the Breaking Flame Sword, infusing it with Fire God Fragment True Qi. Instantly, the blade was surrounded by crimson sword energy, flames flickering and surging, a scorching power rising into the sky. A strong and fierce flame aura spread around, causing many with lower cultivation to retreat involuntarily.
"What?!"
Peng Feng suddenly could not remain seated, slamming his hand on the armrest of his chair as he stood up. His eyes could not hide his astonishment as he whispered, "What... what kind of power is this?"
