That person clearly did not expect that Ye Yuan's movement technique would actually be so swift. He actually grabbed nothing all of a sudden, his body involuntarily stumbling.
This person was wearing black tight-fitting clothes, his expression abnormally cold and stern. One look and it was clear that he was not some nice person.
When the woman saw this man, she hurriedly gave a bow and said, "I've seen Lord Tu Gang!"
"Boy, you actually dare to dodge!" Tu Gang pointed at Ye Yuan and said solemnly.
Ye Yuan could not help laughing in spite of himself when he heard that and said, "What a joke! You didn't even say hello before wanting to snatch my stuff. I'm not even allowed to dodge?"
"Humph! You're a newcomer, right? Don't even have slaughter points, what did you come here pretending to be some bigshot for?! Give the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold to me, then give two loud kowtows for your Lord Tu, and that matter just now will be considered settled. Otherwise …" Tu Gang looked at Ye Yuan with malicious intentions and said.
Ye Yuan looked at Tu Gang amusedly and said with a faint smile, "Otherwise what?"
"Although according to the Asura Arena's rules, second level martial artists are not allowed to kill first level martial artists, there's no problem at all in making you, this punk, lie down for a period of time!" Tu Gang said.
Hearing the meaning in Tu Gang's words, he was a martial artist of the second level.
The first level and second level martial artists belonged to two different levels. Battles and living were all not together. Logically speaking, they would not have any interactions normally, but this Asura Shop was an exception.
The first three levels' martial artists were basically all Heaven Enlightenment Realm. The goods they required were naturally more or less the same as well. Therefore, the first three levels' martial artists shared an Asura Shop. This was also why Ye Yuan could only reach this place through a transmission array.
That woman could not refrain herself when she saw Tu Gang and Ye Yuan getting into a conflict. She warned Ye Yuan, "Little Brother, Lord Tu Gang is a well-renowned big shot in the second level. He's an expert ranked 405 on the Earth Carnage Proclamation. Why haven't you hurry up and apologized to him?"
The way the woman saw it, she was warning out of goodwill here already. A newcomer offending a powerhouse of the second level was not some wise thing.
But Ye Yuan chuckled when he heard that and asked, "Turns out that the Asura Arena still had such a rule? I wonder if the first level's martial artists can kill the second level's martial artists or not?"
The moment these words were uttered, the woman and Tu Gang both froze. But the Tan Si who did not speak the entire time opened his mouth, "The Asura Arena doesn't have this rule. This should be a loophole."
Ye Yuan smiled, smiled very happy, and suddenly threw out a punch explosively!
Chapter 876 - Exalt
Seeing Ye Yuan make a move, Tu Gang did not get mad. He was delighted instead and said with a big laugh, "Came right on time!"
This punch of Ye Yuan's was not fast, looking not much different from ordinary Second Level Heaven Enlightenment Realms.
Therefore, the way Tu Gang saw it, Ye Yuan was purely asking for a beating here!
Tan Si shook his head and said with a sigh, "Another dunce seeking death!"
When that attendant girl heard Tan Si's sigh, her eyes were filled with confusion.
She thought that Tan Si would make a move and help. After all, Tan Si's strength looked to be much stronger. But Tan Si did not have the intention of taking action at all, and instead, he mocked Tu Gang.
These two people wouldn't be fools, right? thought the attendant girl in her heart.
Tu Gang also suddenly brandished his fist, his speed incomparably abnormal. It actually reached first despite launching after Ye Yuan!
A faint mocking smile hung at the corners of his mouth; it was as if already seeing the appearance of Ye Yuan kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
But right at the moment the two fists intersected, Ye Yuan's fist suddenly vanished from sight.
Bang!
Tu Gang was originally standing. This punch of Ye Yuan's hit right on his temple, directly inverting his body, smashing a hole into the floorboards.
The Asura Shop had some customers in the first place. Seeing that conflict happened over here, they were naturally happy to watch it for fun. Of course, they were laughing at Ye Yuan.
A newcomer dared to provoke a second level's Earth Carnage Proclamation expert, this was simply utterly foolish.
But when they saw this scene before their eyes, each and every one of them was baffled.
This newcomer … was too violent!
"Rank 405 is it? Indeed have some skill, to actually still be able to preserve an intact corpse," Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, everyone could not help being speechless.
Tu Gang was evidently completely dead already. Beating a strong opponent around Earth Carnage Proclamation rank 400 to death in one punch and he was actually still not satisfied with this battle result?
Those who lived in the Asura Arena were long used to seeing life and death. Killing people this kind of thing, they were long numbed to it.
But an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert being beaten to death by someone in one punch, this kind of spectacle was still overly shocking.
"Now, can I buy this piece of Grayflame Earth Sun Gold?" Ye Yuan could not be bothered to look at Tu Gang and immediately asked that female attendant.
"You … You really have slaughter points?" The female attendant finally knew that this youth in front of her was not as simple as he looked on the surface.
In truth, this Asura Arena was a lair of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Who would really be simple?
Those powerhouses ranked to the front of the Earth Carnage Proclamation were all very low-profile. But their strength was unfathomable!
These people completely could not be measured using the standards of ordinary martial artists.
The female attendant originally would not make mistakes at this sort of thing. It was just that Ye Yuan was too young. Moreover, he was a newcomer, resulting in her overlooking many things.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and took out the Absolute Kill Token.
That 20 slaughter points already arrived inside his Absolute Kill Token after he advanced.
When the female attendant examined Ye Yuan's Absolute Kill Token, she could not help having a look of astoundment, "2-20 slaughter points! Milord got a wipeout at the first level?"
Ye Yuan said curiously, "Why? Is it very hard to believe?"
"N-No! I'll exchange the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold for Your Excellency right away!" the female attendant hurriedly said.
You have got to be kidding. Even the second level's Tu Gang was one-shotted. What was strange about getting a wipeout at the first level?
It was just that this Asura Arena's first three levels were all Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists. Those able to survive in the first level were all absolutely not mediocre.
Wanting to kill until other people did not dare to take the field, this was a very difficult thing. Let alone that Ye Yuan was only Second Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm.
Very soon, the female attendant deducted 15 points from Ye Yuan and returned the Absolute Kill Token to Ye Yuan.
Being experienced, the female attendant had seen many grand spectacles before. At this time, she already recovered back to normal and ordered people to get rid of Tu Gang's corpse. Coming in front of Ye Yuan, she said with a broad smile, "Milord is a young hero, to actually be able to kill Tu Gang with one punch! However, Tu Gang isn't alone in the second level. He and the second level's rank seven, Lu Licheng, has a very good relationship. Milord still need to be a little more careful after you enter the second level."
Ye Yuan received the Absolute Kill Token and Grayflame Earth Sun Gold and said with a smile, "Just some dan
cing clowns. No need to take notice."
The female attendant just smiled when she heard that and did not say anything else.
On top of the Asura Shop's corner tower, a middle-aged man in brocade watched Ye Yuan's departing back view and said to the woman beside him, "Exalt 1 , this boy's strength is unfathomable. The next issue of Earth Carnage Proclamation, maybe he can charge into the top ten! What makes people even more astonished is that his fleshy body is actually even more formidable than his essence energy cultivation realm! Letting him grow up for some time, he might be able to be of some help to our plan."
The Exalt the man was talking to was precisely that female attendant who served Ye Yuan.
The man's attitude was very respectful toward her. This unassuming female attendant actually had an extraordinary status.
The Exalt's temperament currently was like two different people from before; her face had an indescribable frostiness.
"The Asura Arena's rule is that people of the second level are not allowed to kill first level martial artists. But it didn't stipulate that first level martial artists can't kill those at the second level. This loophole was probably a loophole deliberately left behind by the Sovereign. But those able to make use of this loophole are a scanty few. This young man is indeed not simple!" the Exalt said.
The man in brocade nodded and said, "It wasn't that first level martial artists killing second level martial artists didn't happen before. But there absolutely would not be people so neat and tidy like him! Furthermore, his opponent is even a character close to rank 400 on the Earth Carnage Proclamation!"
The Exalt said, "It's still this boy's first day entering the Asura Arena, and he actually has such strength already. There's a possibility that he's a genius junior groomed by some super holy land. We need to investigate his origins clearly first before making a decision! This matter will be handed to you."
The man in brocade bowed and said, "Yes!"
...
Leaving the Asura Arena, Ye Yuan rented a residence in the Asura Arena and started to help the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood absorb the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold.
This Grayflame Earth Sun Gold contained extremely strong powers of gold element 2 . Using it to refine into a holy artifact could make the martial artist's attack even stronger.
But Ye Yuan had the Starmoon Sword on hand and was not overly concerned regarding the need for holy artifacts.
Rather, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, using it well would absolutely be a form of enormous assistance. Therefore, he let the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood absorb the powers of gold element inside the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold without the slightest hesitation.
Just as Ye Yuan was refining the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold, an uproar already utterly broke out at second level.
The news of Tu Gang being finished off by a newcomer spread like wildfire at the second level. This sort of thing truly made all the martial artists' jaws drop.
Quite a few people were gasping in admiration at this newcomer's powerful strength. But the vast majority of the people still mocked Tu Gang's incompetence.
To be able to survive in a cruel environment like the Asura Arena, every person had tremendous self-confidence. Being killed could only show that Tu Gang's strength was lacking.
Of course, the one who lost the most face was still Lu Licheng.
Tu Gang was his subordinate and also his right-hand hired thug. He did not think that Tu Gangwas actually killed by a second level's punk 3 . This was smacking his face!
"Investigated properly yet? Just what origins is that punk?" Lu Licheng asked his subordinate with a grim look.
"Yes, we investigated his background. That boy just entered the Asura Arena today and directly got a wipeout at the first level! Tu Gang had long eyed the Asura Shop's Grayflame Earth Sun Gold, but he did not have sufficient points. This time, he finally managed to amass enough points to go buy it. Didn't expect that he actually got killed by this newcomer!" Exalt is a position/rank. There are 12 Exalts. Future chapters will go into more detail The word for gold element can actually be metal element too, as in, metal of the Five Elements. But metal actually 'counters' wood in the Five Element's inter-inhibition, so I decided to use gold element. No idea why it says second level instead of first level. Maybe updated to Ye Yuan's new level
Chapter 877 - Addressing Each Other as Brothers
"Humph! Does that punk called Ye Yuan really think that he's invincible? In this Asura Arena, even a dragon has to coil up!" Lu Licheng said with a cold snort.
In this Asura Arena, there had never been a lack of geniuses.
These Earth Carnage Proclamation's experts, which one of them was not peerlessly talented, with strength far surpassing those in the same level?
"That punk probably also knew that he got into trouble. After leaving the Asura Shop, he actually chose to enter seclusion and did not enter the second level," the subordinate said.
"Humph! He may get off today but not tomorrow! Keep a close eye for me! When he arrives at the second level, report to me immediately. I want to let him take a look at this Asura Arena's brutality!"
"Yes, Your Excellency! It's just …"
"If you have something, just say it. Don't hem and haw!"
"There are quite a few rumors out there right now. Especially Lord Zong Ta there. They are all laughing at us."
Upon hearing this, Lu Licheng's expression became even more overcast.
That Zong Ta was similarly a heavyweight-class figure in the second level. Regardless whether was it strength or forces, it was not at all inferior to him.
Making such a big fool of himself this time, Zong Ta would naturally grab hold and not let go, and give a good mocking.
"This damn brat, causing me to lose so much face! I must tear him from limb to limb!" Lu Licheng gnashed his teeth in hatred, hating Ye Yuan to the bones.
...
Regarding the things that happened in the second level, Ye Yuan was naturally unaware. Even if he knew, he would not care either.
He set up an array formation to help the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood absorb the powers of gold element inside the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold, while he himself entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda to cultivate.
The likelihood of Ye Yuan making progress in supreme true intent was not too high within a short time. Therefore, Ye Yuan placed the focus of cultivation on the advancement of cultivation realm.
At present, titanic transformations already happened to Ye Yuan's body. Even if he did not borrow the powers of medicinal pills, his cultivation speed was very fast too.
Ye Yuan was currently comprehending the 'Bing' character in the Nine Characters True Word Formula. After violent essence energy went through the Vast Heaven Pagoda's tempering, it was absorbed by Ye Yuan into his body.
After entering the Heaven Enlightenment Realm, each time Ye Yuan advanced a minor cultivation realm, it required massive amounts of essence energy.
But ever since cultivating the 'Bing' character, Ye Yuan's cultivation speed was several times faster compared to before!
Same as the 'Lin' character, the 'Bing' character similarly seized the good fortune of heaven and earth. But the effects of the 'Bing' character was completely different from the 'Lin' character. It was able to make martial artists become more s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e toward the energy between heaven and earth. Cultivation would also yield twice the results with half the effort!
For such a long time, Ye Yuan discovered that the effect of each word was different through comprehending this Nine Words True Character Formula.
But there was one point, each word contained extremely profound maxims of the Great Dao. It could virtually let Ye Yuan reach the quintessence in an area.
And this 'Bing' character could let his cultivation speed increase tremendously.
Ye Yuan believed that if he could cultivate the 'Bing' character to an extremely high realm, his cultivation speed would probably be able to crush all of the Divine Realm's geniuses!
&nb
sp; Even using medicinal pills to pile up cultivation realm was probably nothing more than this too.
After advancing to Heaven Enlightenment Realm, Ye Yuan deliberately slowed down cultivation speed and fastidiously comprehended the powers of laws.
Although this way would make his cultivation speed become slow, it could let his comprehension toward Heavenly Dao become even clearer and more comprehensive.
After Heaven Enlightenment Realm, the most important was still comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, increasing concepts cultivation all-round.
If one did not pursue combat power, there naturally was no problem getting help from medicinal pills. But Ye Yuan was re-walking the Martial Path presently. This step was indispensable.
The Upper Three Realms could be said to be even more important than the six major cultivation realms before added up.
Ye Yuan wanted to pursue the pinnacle of the martial path. He would rather walk a bit slower.
But the 'Bing' character plus the remolding of the primeval dragon bone made his cultivation speed no worse than any genius in the Divine Realm.
Furthermore, along with the comprehension of the 'Bing' character, his cultivation speed would become faster and faster.
A month later, Ye Yuan finally broke through to Third Level Heaven Enlightenment.
When he went to check on the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, he discovered that the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold already turned into an ordinary chunk of rock. The power of gold element inside was already absorbed fully.
Ye Yuan discovered to his joy that the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood had indeed advanced to Tier 7! With this, the power of the Origin Magnetic Field increased greatly.
"This slaughter points is really good stuff. I'm going to inquire about it later to see if there's any way to obtain even more slaughter points. Mmm … It's time to enter the second level."
Ye Yuan had seen quite a number of good stuff in the Asura Shop's points area. Even he was quite moved as well.
