Now, the surrounding spectators were long unconcerned about who would win and who would lose and was also indifferent to who Xiao Ruyan would marry in the end.
What they were most concerned with was just what extent Ye Yuan could perform to!
Could Ye Yuan defeat the number one expert, Zhao Chenggang, and replace him to become the Fierce Gale World’s rookie king?!
In the foreseeable future, as long as Ye Yuan did not die today, the future position of Wind Emperor was his for sure!
. . . . . .
Under everyone’s eyes, Zhao Chenggan pointed his spear at Ye Yuan again!
This time, he actually raised his spear with one hand over his head, while the other hand with his fingers as swords, pointing them at Ye Yuan!
Very soon, an abnormal atmosphere started to undulate out.
Everybody had yet to recover from Ye Yuan’s attack earlier. But at this time, was forcefully pulled back to reality by this sort of peculiar atmosphere.
Zhao Chenggan stood there like a statue without moving a hint for a long time.
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly. Regarding Zhao Chenggan’s next attack, he instinctively felt out of the ordinary.
Not just Ye Yuan, practically all the martial artists at the plaza could feel it!
“What martial technique is this? Why does it make me feel like the air is about to solidify? Wasn’t His Highness, the Seventh Prince’s strongest move Spear Shadow Carnage? What martial technique is this?”
“Are you a pig? How long has it already been since Seventh Prince used martial techniques in front of everyone? Such a long time, did you think that His Highness, the Seventh Prince, would remain marching on the spot?”
“Yeah! Most likely, between Shangguan Lingyun and Seventh Prince, they are unaware of each other’s depths now. But without question, these two person’s strength is unfathomable right now!”
In the plaza, martial artists with slightly weaker strength all felt that breathing was rather difficult. But that terror in their hearts could not be repressed no matter what.
Swoosh!
Ye Yuan suddenly vanished from where he stood!
Zhao Chenggan’s body which had not moved for a long while finally moved slightly.
Only to see his upper body rotate slightly, but his sword finger turned to another position.
The next instant, Ye Yuan’s figure appeared again, and Zhao Chenggan’s spear and sword finger were still pointing at Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan’s brows knitted together once more.
This probing action earlier finally let Ye Yuan confirm that he was totally locked on by Zhao Chenggan!
“Big Brother, what is this move of His Highness’s? Why does it give people such a repressing feeling?” Shangguan Lingxue’s brows were also tightly locked. Evidently, she felt rather uncomfortable too.
Shangguan Lingyun’s expression was solemn as he said, “The last time I fought with him was already a matter of three years ago! Looks like these three years, he wasn’t idling either! Ji Qing is in danger!”
“What?” Shangguan Lingxue exclaimed in shock. “How can you be so certain? Ji Qing he is so strong. He can’t possibly be in trouble, right?”
Shangguan Lingyun shook his head and said, “If Ji Qing had Sea Transformation Realm strength, even if it was only First Level Sea Transformation Realm, breaking this move isn’t hard. But sadly, even after using Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, he only has a strength at the half-step Sea Transformation Realm.”
“Why is this so? I feel that realm doesn’t seem to be that important to Ji Qing! Half-step Sea Transformation and Sea Transformation Realm might perhaps be a huge difference to others, but to Ji Qing, it doesn’t seem to make any difference, right?’ Shangguan Lingxue asked in puzzlement.
Shangguan Linyun shook his head again. “The more so for showdowns between experts, the more important realm is! Zhao Chenggan and my realm have always been more or less the same. Neither shook the other off. Don’t you find that strange?”
Only with Shangguan Lingyun saying that did Shangguan Lingxue felt rather odd.
Although these two people’s strength were well-matched, it could not be that they were also walking together in terms of cultivation in essence energy, right?
These few years, the two of them virtually always broke through realms at the same time!
Recalling now, it was really quite strange.
Shangguan Lingyun continued talking, “Martial artists’ realm is external. Everyone can see at a glance, and it simply can’t be concealed. But comprehension towards concepts is internal. Each day that we don’t face off, I’ll not know how much he comprehended. But I can confirm that even if there a gap between the two of us, it’s only just between millimeters too. Hence, the two of us would have a mutual understanding to maintain a similar realm. We all know that once one side’s breakthrough speeds up, the other side will also risk his life to breakthrough. Because as long as one side breaks through first, the other wouldn’t be a match at all!”
“But even though Ji Qing’s realm isn’t high, he still hold the advantage earlier!” Shangguan Lingxue said uncertainly.
Shangguan Lingyun said with a sigh, “Between Ji Qing and Zhao Chenggan, it is not as balanced as between Zhao Chenggan and me. The reason why Ji Qing can persist until now is by relying entirely on his concepts comprehension, which is a cut above the rest! And his greatest shortfall is his realm!”
Pausing for a moment, Shangguan Lingyun continued again, “Just now, Ji Qing already probed Zhao Chenggan. He’s unable to shake off Zhao Chenggan’s vital energy lock-on! With Ye Yuan’s concepts comprehension, as long as he has a Sea Transformation Realm strength, he can absolutely get rid of Zhao Chenggan’s lock-on! But now . . . he must forcefully resist this blow from Zhao Chenggan head-on! And forcefully withstanding this attack face on, even I will die for sure!”
“What? Even you’ll die for sure too? This . . . How is this possible?” Shangguan Lingxue turned pale with fright.
Even the Shangguan Lingyun who was ranked equally with Zhao Chenggan said that it was a certain death. Just how horrifying was the power of this attack?!

“There’s nothing that is impossible! The offensive power of a spear is extremely strong in the first place. Zhao Chenggan comprehended true intent too. If my conjectures are right, this move should have encompassed all of his comprehension towards attack and is no trifling matter. Of course, if I were his opponent, I obviously wouldn’t wait foolishly for him to come and stab me. When it comes down to it, Ji Qing is still too disadvantageous in terms of realm,” Shangguan Lingyun said confidently.
“Then, do you think that Ji Qing can ward off this blow?” Shangguan Lingxue asked curiously.
“I don’t know! I completely can’t figure out Ji Qing’s ins and outs. In comparison to Zhao Chenggan, this is a more terrifying adversary. Because you’ll never know what kind of surprise he’s going to bring you next!” Shangguan Lingyung said with a grave face.
Although Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chenggan had already not had a frontal battle for a long time, everyone grew up together and could more or less estimate each other’s strength.
But Ji Qing was different. Since standing on the stage, Ye Yuan’s means had been emerging in an endless stream!
Divine soul attack, absolute defense, Thousand Flowing Petals, and Half-Moon Slash. Even the Xue Family’s ultimate technique, Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, Ye Yuan used it even better than the Xue Family’s Family Head.
No one knew what kind of perverse move Ye Yuan would use next.
. . . . . .
All of a sudden, Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and actually closed his eyes!
This scene gave everyone a huge shock.
“What is Ji Qing doing here? Gave up on resisting?”
“Maybe . . . he’s preparing some move?”
“Prepare what
ass move?! Don’t you see that he didn’t maneuver any essence energy at all? Seventh Prince’s next move is bound to be an extremely deadly attack. He’s still not launching any martial technique now. Isn’t this waiting for death?”
Zhao Chenggan was also slightly stunned when he saw this scene. But this did not hamper him from continuing to strengthen his momentum!
The essence of this move from Zhao Chenggan was momentum!
He could not release Spear Shadow Carnage’s accumulated momentum, but it did not mean that his comprehension on momentum was a total mess.
On the contrary, in comprehension on momentum, Zhao Chenggan was extremely formidable!
It also because of this that he created this current move!
The momentum of Spear Shadow Carnage was too hard to amass.
“Heh heh, you know that you can’t avoid this hit so you gave up on resisting? But I won’t show mercy!” Zhao Chenggan said with a cold laugh in his heart.
Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. A majestic aura undulated out with him as the center!
“Are you trying to force me to have a head-on confrontation with you here? Fine, as you wish!” Ye Yuan’s calm voice entered the ears of everyone present here.
This voice was so composed that it made people feel hard to get close to as if Ye Yuan was a person from another world!
“This . . . This is Heart Like Still Water! That’s right! This is absolutely Heart Like Still Water! The heart realm that even Zhao Chenggan is unable to comprehend, this boy actually comprehended it at the Crystal Formation Realm!” Shangguan Wenrui who had been calm the entire time finally showed an astonished look.
“Truly unbelievable! He’s only sixteen. Heart Like Still Water, there might not even be one in a hundred million martial artists that can comprehend it! How on earth did he do it?” Xue Hongfei said with a vicissitude of emotion.
Under anticipating eyes, Ye Yuan’s two palms was gradually brought up from the sides. Two distinctly different essence energy attributes extended out from his two palms!
A miniature whirlwind was held in the palm of his left hand. The whirlwind was currently expanding rapidly, gradually taking on the features of a wind dragon!
A small cluster of pale yellow flames was held in the center of his right hand. The flame grew increasingly vigorous as it blazed, gradually forming a fire dragon!
Ye Yuan was currently mobilizing heaven and earth essence energy frenziedly right now!
Half-step Sea Transformation could only mobilize heaven and earth essence energy in an extremely small radius area. But to Ye Yuan, Half-Step Sea Transformation was already enough to let his affinity towards heaven and earth essence energy reach an exceptionally terrifying extent.
Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Still Water State in order to maximize this affinity to muster even more essence energy!
At this instant, Ye Yuan was also already staking it all on one last throw!
Zhao Chenggan’s momentum was still in the midst of rising rapidly!
Right then, Zhao Chenggan’s aura finally rose to its peak!
“Tyrant Martial Howling Cloud Spear, Glimpse . . . of . . . Heaven!” Zhao Chenggan gave a low cry.
A spear pierced out, sweeping along with boundless heaven & earth essence energy; violent to the extreme!
Where it passed by, sand and stone were flung all around! The entire stage was already pulverized to dust by his one spear!
At the same time, Ye Yuan’s palms pushed. Two small dragons gushed forth, instantaneously tangling together!
“Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon!” Ye Yuan roared.
In the process of the intertwining, the two small dragons actually gradually merged into one, becoming a colossal dragon of wind and fire!
The gigantic dragon roared as it swept over towards Zhao Chenggan. It actually gave off a series of dragon roars!
Xiao Changfeng’s expression changed abruptly, and he yelled out, “Quick! Quickly dodge!”
Actually, no need for him to shout. Everyone below the stage already noticed something off.
These two people’s moves were overly terrifying. Once they clashed together, they completely dare not imagine what would happen!
Current, the entire platform had already turned into fine powder. Blast waves rolled out in all directions wave after wave!
Looking at the distinguished guests on the stand, they had long left their seats.
While the audiences were thrown into confusion, the two people’s attacks collided together!
Rumble!
An explosion sound which reverberated through the skies sounded out, shocking until everyone’s eardrums hurt.
A dazzling light spread out like the sun, blinding the people until they could not open their eyes at all!
“Quickly run! Ahh!” A martial artists thought that he had retreated to a safe distance. But he quickly discovered something wrong and was sent flying by the enormous air blast.
“Arggh!”
“Arrhhh!”
. . . . . .
Miserable cries rose after one another. Only to see martial artists being sent flying by the enormous air blast one by one.
The power of a single attack was utterly appalling!
“What . . . What on earth happened? What the hell did those two people do?!Ouch! So painful!”
“Is this freaking hell the battle of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists? When were Sea Transformation Realm martial artists powerful to this extent?”
“What happened to those two people? Who in the world won?”
“Don’t know. I completely can’t see at all! That blinding light has already persisted for over a dozen breaths and actually hasn’t dissipated yet!”
Many people squinted, wanting to see what happened inside that bundle of light. But they only saw a vast expanse of white light and could not see anything at all.
Several more breaths passed. The white light finally dissipated slowly. The first thing that reflected in the eyes of the audience was a stretch of ruins.
The platform had already disappeared entirely, and what replaced it was a huge pit!
In the huge pit, Zhao Chenggan stood with his spear. That appearance was very intimidating.
And opposite him, Ye Yuan was struck out over a hundred feet away, his clothing tattered, and injuries all over his body, looking very alarming.
Once Xiao Ruyan saw, her eyes immediately turned red!
She pulled down the head veil with a grab and rushed in front of Ye Yuan like flying. Propping Ye Yuan up, tears flowed down with a pitter-patter.
Ye Yuan’s eyes were tightly shut, his complexion pale white, looking feeble to the extreme.
“Young Master Ji, a-are you alright?”
Chapter 432

Ye Yuan had an anguished look and did not react in the slightest to Xiao Ruyan’s words.
Xiao Ruyan was very anxious and was at a loss on what to do for a moment. Hugging Ye Yuan, she cried extremely heart-brokenly.
“Little Junior Brother!” Shi Haoran also panicked when he saw the situation and hurriedly ran in front of Ye Yuan.
Shi Haoran hastily searched for Ye Yuan’s pulse. Only seeing that Ye Yuan just fainted for the time being did he feel relieved and heaved a long breath.
“Rest assured. Little Junior Brother just received a huge impact and fainted unconscious,” Shi Haoran said with Xiao Ruyan.
Concern led to panic. Xiao Ruyan herself was also an alchemist. Earlier, she actually forgot to read Ye Yuan’s pulse.
“Al-Alright? That’s really great!” Xiao Ruyan cried from joy.
But Shi Haoran frowned and said, “Alright? Does he look alright to you? This injury of his, he probably has to lie in bed for a period of time!”
At present, Ye Yuan looked very miserable. Ignoring external wounds, his internal organs suffered a tremendous impact too.
If there were no medicinal
pills to assist in healing, a single mishap and he would die. How could he possibly be fine?
Shi Haoran’s gaze involuntarily looked towards Zhao Chenggan hatefully. It was only to see that Zhao Chenggan was staring dead straight at Ye Yuan currently; his expression was without a modicum of joy.
“Sigh . . . Ji Qing lost in the end! I even thought that the number one throne of the capital would be displaced today. Who knew that His Highness, the Seventh Prince, is actually powerful to such an extent already.”
“Ji Qing is still unable to create a miracle in the end! But for him to be able to perform to this step, it’s already very heaven-defying! Give him another one or two years, and he’ll surpass His Highness, the Seventh Prince, in all aspects!”
“This battle, Ji Qing had a moral victory! That final blow from Seventh Prince, even Soul Sea Realm martial artists might not be able to receive it! Ji Qing is just a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, but he fought to such an extent with Seventh Prince! In my heart, he’s the victor!”
Strong people always garnered people’s respect. Ye Yuan’s performance had already obtained the recognition of the vast majority of the people present.
In their hearts, for Ye Yuan to lose out slightly to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Zhao Chenggan with strength a major realm lower, he did not count as a failure no matter what.
Xiao Changfeng came close and took a look at the heavily wounded Ye Yuan, and looked at Zhao Chenggan again. For a time, he did not know how he should announce the results.
“This match, Seventh Prince . . .”
“Cough, cough, cough . . .”
Xiao Changfeng said halfway but was interrupted by Ye Yuan’s violent coughing sounds.
Xiao Ruyan was overjoyed seeing the situation and said, “Ji Qing! You finally woke up! Y-You scared me to death!”
As she said, Xiao Ruyan cried again.
Ye Yuan smiled dryly and said, “G-Good disciple, d-don’t cry anymore. Bawl your eyes out, and you won’t look pretty anymore! W-What Master promised you . . . is all accomplished!”
