Chapter 2921: Chapter 2895: Protecting the Master! (Fourth Update)
Ye Lingtian received the inheritance from the Ye Family Ancestor, and took it as his duty to rejuvenate the Ye family, but felt little sense of belonging to the current remaining power of the Ye family.
"This person is straightforward, a true man of character. If he can cultivate the Overlord Divine Slash to great success, he could become a great general under your command in the future." Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, he said.
The first round of the competition had no intermission, and after two hours, nearly a hundred strong competitors remained, continuing to the second match.
When Ye Lingtian took the stage, he defeated his opponent with overwhelming force, displaying a strength that shocked the entire audience.
Even Ye Sheng, Tan Zhu, and Ni Chang all paid attention to Ye Lingtian.
The second match began, and the three, Ye Sheng and the others, astonishingly flew to stand next to Ye Lingtian, ignoring Ye Chen on the side.
"You’re Ye Lingtian? How can you have such combat strength after ascending from the low-level martial plane of the Kunlun Mountains?"
Ye Sheng seemed to harbor hostility toward Ye Lingtian, speaking in a condescending tone.
Ye Tanzhu, unable to discern Ye Lingtian’s true depth, displayed a solemn expression, cupping his hands toward him and saying, "I am Ye Tanzhu. Seeing how powerful you are, I’m here to make a friend."
Ni Chang’s captivating eyes swept over Ye Lingtian, revealing a breathtaking smile, nodding in salute, but said nothing.
Ye Lingtian instinctively glanced at Ye Chen. Ye Chen remained expressionless, and Ye Lingtian understood, responding indifferently to the three.
"Junior Brother Lingtian, it’s quite noisy here. Come with us to the upper area. You don’t need to participate in the rest of the first-round matches."
Ye Sheng frowned, looking down on the other Ye family juniors, as if ashamed to stand with them.
Ye Lingtian’s eyes turned cold, and he replied icily, "We are not on the same path. I cannot reach your level."
"Kid, don’t be ungrateful. Don’t think that since our realm gap isn’t large, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me. My strength is beyond your imagination!"
Ye Sheng’s attitude made Ye Lingtian extremely disgusted. His gaze swept over, and Ye Sheng’s expression changed slightly.
The look from Ye Lingtian made him lose his composure for a moment, even feeling an irresistible suppression!
It seemed like suppression from the bloodline!
But the feeling quickly vanished, making Ye Sheng think it was just an illusion, and then he became extremely angry.
"What evil technique are you cultivating to dare perform it on me? Do you not want to live?"
This kind of presumptuous person, more arrogant than the second-generation heirs of top powers, opened Ye Lingtian’s eyes and disappointed Ye Chen further with the current Ye family.
Ye Lingtian could hardly restrain himself, as the Ancient Intent surged through him, about to make a move when Ye Chen suddenly communicated to him, "Be patient for now; it’s not time for us to act."
Ye Chen had a premonition that this time, not only would they have to resist forces like the Heavenly Dao Palace, but internal conflicts within the Ye family might also involve him, and he could not place too much hope on the Ye family.
Ye Lingtian snorted coldly, turned his head away, no longer paying attention to the three.
"Ingrate, let’s go. This kind of side branch remnant doesn’t need attention!" Ye Sheng said coldly.
"Senior Brother Ye Sheng, Senior Brother Tan Zhu, you both go ahead, I’ll stay a little longer." Ni Chang still smiled charmingly, eyes brimming with allure, not hiding her interest in Ye Lingtian at all.
Veins popped on Ye Sheng’s forehead, and Ye Tanzhu’s face turned very unpleasant.
"Ye Lingtian, I hope you can advance to the top ten. By then, I will teach you how to behave on the Martial Arts Arena." Ye Sheng gave Ye Lingtian a deep look.
Faced with his threats, Ye Lingtian remained unmoved.
In his eyes, anyone’s words were meaningless!
Except for the Hall Master!
Moreover, he had a mental note that when he took control of the Ye family in the future, such troubles must be thoroughly eradicated!
Ye Sheng and Ye Tanzhu flew away from there.
Half of Ye Chen’s attention was on the aloof Ye family elders. The events here couldn’t escape their perceptive eyes, but what disappointed Ye Chen was that they were indifferent to Ye Sheng and others’ actions.
It seems that although the Ye family still existed, it was no longer the Ye family it once was.
In the previous life, the fall of the Samsara Master also signaled the decline of the Ye family.
This Jueye Land was merely their last struggle.
In the second match of the first round, Ye Chen’s opponent was a cultivator of the fourth-level Supreme Emperor realm in the Chaos Realm, a member of the Ye family who cultivated a divine power called "Scorpion King Transformation." In the ultimate form of its third transformation, it had the ability to surpass its own level and defeat enemies.
Ye Chen didn’t want to expose too much and used Extreme Martial God Flash, delaying until his opponent was exhausted before forcing him out of the arena.
This "Scorpion King Transformation" divine power was strong indeed, but its weakness was evident, unable to engage in prolonged battles. After its ultimate form, there would be a period of "weakness."
The first round of matches concluded, leaving over forty contestants to decide twenty participants in the second round.
In the Ye family’s three branches, ten people were exempt from the first two rounds of matches, leaving these thirty to enter the finals.
In the second round, Ye Chen faced a female cultivator who practiced the "Water Sunflower Charm Technique," a spell that enchanted the heart and mind.
This special type of spell exhibited a combat strength much weaker than its practitioner’s cultivation level, but if the opponent could not resist its allure, even a stronger opponent would be at her mercy when their mind was drawn into the magical world.
Ye Chen, with a heart as steadfast as a rock, was unaffected, but pretended to be under its sway, counter-attacking at the critical moment to easily defeat her.
On the viewing platform where the Ye family’s high-ranking members sat, Ye Chen’s performance had already caught the attention of several elders.
"This young man, with his Disaster Slaying realm cultivation at the eighth-level Daoyuan realm, has fought into the finals—truly strange."
"He’s somewhat interesting, always seizing his opponents’ weaknesses in every battle. His understanding of martial arts surpasses many here."
"I find this Ye Chen barely qualifies as a genius. Even if his tactics are crafty, under a full outbreak, he possesses combat strength at the Chaos Realm sixth level."𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
While Ye Chen remained hidden, Ye Lingtian, although suppressing his cultivation, swept through his opponents, becoming the most attention-grabbing figure in these matches.
Before the finals, the Ye family’s juniors were given two hours to recover, during which a Ye family elder sought out Ye Lingtian and Ye Chen.
"Ye Lingtian, Ye Chen, the ancestor wishes to see you. Come with me."
Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian exchanged a glance and followed the Ye family elder, flying into the sky.
In the ninth level of the Linglong Pagoda, three Ye family ancestors sat cross-legged, their eyes focused simultaneously on the two as they entered the grand hall.
Three powerful divine soul waves fell directly onto Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian.
The three ancestors, without concealing their intentions, probed the two, even attempting to intrude directly into their minds to read their memories.
Ye Chen instinctively wanted to use the True Martial Intent to shield himself, but after hesitating slightly, extinguished the thought.
His own divine soul was so formidable that even these three were in the Heavenly God Realm, they had no qualification to shake it.
However, Ye Lingtian chose to stand protectively in front of Ye Chen!
