King rank bloodline appearing on a human, this was simply the dragon clan's crowning humiliation.
"Xunri Heavenly Dragon Claw!"
Long Jinhao no longer hesitated, directly sticking a claw out.
A dragon claw condensed and formed out of thin air, wrapped in a terrifying power, and charged over towards Ye Yuan.
But when Ye Yuan saw this scene, he had a look of contempt and said coolly, "Heaven rank dragon wave, is too weak! Spirit Rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"
Ye Yuan smacked a palm out leisurely and unhurriedly. An azure dragon soared high into the air and directly smashed Long Jinhao's Xunri Heavenly Dragon Claw into smithereens.
Rumble!
The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm's remnant force did not reduce, Long Jinhao's body was smashed flying out like a cannonball!
Chapter 998 - Came out Just like That?
A very barbaric palm, not giving Long Jinhao the least bit of opportunity at all.
Ye Yuan's current strength was still not a match for middle-stage Tier 9. But dealing with initial-stage Tier 9, it was nothing difficult.
Furthermore, competing in dragon race martial techniques, this Long Jinhao was far too lacking!
Ao Jianbo's pupils constricted, his eyes glued onto Ye Yuan, filled with disbelief.
"Spirit Rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm! This … How is this possible? Not only did a human martial artist learn the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, he even cultivated dragon wave to spirit rank!" Long Hanwei was shocked until she could not close her mouth.
"What in the world is going on here? King rank bloodline, spirit rank dragon race, divine rank martial technique, isn't he a human bloodline martial artist? How can he possibly accomplish to such an extent?" Luo Jingtong was similarly incomparably shocked.
The four symbols family clan were all aware that the foundation of the dragon race's martial techniques lied on this dragon wave.
To be able to cultivate dragon wave to heaven rank at this age was already extremely talented. Cultivating to spirit rank, the next young patriarch was basically guaranteed to be him.
Now, a human race's youngster actually cultivated dragon wave to spirit rank. This was simply too ironic.
Right when everyone was still in the midst of shock, Ye Yuan's figure moved and stomped on Long Jinhao's c.h.e.s.t with one foot as he said with a faint smile, "Your esteemed self is so overbearing, wanting to extract this Ye's dragon blood the moment you come up. I wonder what kind of feeling it will be when this Ye draws your dragon blood out!"
Ye Yuan said it very lightheartedly, but the surrounding people all could not help feeling a chill when they heard it.
Saying he wanted to extract Long Jinhao's dragon blood in front of Ao Jianbo, how fearless did one have to be?!
Indeed, when Ao Jianbo saw Ye Yuan's actions, the expression on his face instantly changed from astoundment to shocked fury.
A terrifying aura locked onto Ye Yuan from far away. If Ye Yuan really dared to make a move, he would strike Ye Yuan down without the slightest hesitation.
"Boy, if you dare to draw Jinhao's dragon blood, I'll definitely flay your skin and pull out your tendons today!" Ao Jianbo said coldly.
Swords were already drawn at this time. Head Elder Rong Kun knew that he could not watch the show anymore. At this rate, there would be no way of resolving things today.
Ao Jianbo was not to be trifled with, but Ye Yuan was also not some easygoing person!
Furthermore, Ye Yuan was even White Light's life-and-death big brother. If he really offended him badly, he might stir up some trouble!
"Haha, misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. Ye Yuan, Honorable Nephew Jinhao is a little young and aggressive. But the dragon clan is indeed a little overly s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e towards bloodline martial artists. Give this old man face, alright?" Rong Kun said to Ye Yuan with a big laugh.
Ye Yuan lifted his head and gave Rong Kun a very meaningful glance, hitting him with pangs of guilt.
"This boy is too sharp. My thoughts have probably been long seen through by him." Rong Kun thought to himself secretly.
He wished to borrow Ye Yuan's hands to diminish the dragon clan's edge. How could Ye Yuan not perceive this point?
His strength, Rong Kun more or less still had some score. If he wished to stop it, he should have come forward long ago. Why was there a need to wait until now?
Ye Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Head Elder, White Light is my closest brother. Forget about it this time. But I, Ye Yuan, am not a minor character than anybody can knead. Hope that Head Elder acts with due care and respect."
Rong Kun had an embarrassed look, but Ye Yuan already let go of his foot and returned to his seat.
Long Jinhao struggled to his feet. Looking at Ye Yuan, he had an expression of indignant resentment as he said coldly, "Punk, you're bearing king rank bloodline, my dragon clan absolutely won't take things lying down!"
Ye Yuan shot Long Jinhao a glance and said with a faint smile, "Consider yourself lucky this time. Next time, you won't be so lucky."
If not looking on account of White Light's face, he would definitely extract Ling Jinhao's blood essence dry today. The other party exposed his killing intent. Ye Yuan was not that easygoing of a person either.
Long Jinhao did not feel that he got lucky. In his view, Ye Yuan was afraid of the dragon clan's power, that was why he would climb down the ladder. 1
Ye Yuan was also just saying it. Could it be that he really dared to extract his dragon blood?
But when he arrived before Ao Jianbo, he had an ashamed look as he said, "Elder, Jinhao is useless and lost face for the dragon clan!"
But Ao Jianbo said with a calm expression, "Losing to spirit rank dragon wave isn't considered a disgrace. It's just that a human martial artist is actually bearing king rank bloodline. This matter definitely cannot be dropped. After the White Tiger Clan's business is settled, this old man will naturally go find him to inquire clearly!"
Ao Jianbo's gaze stared at Ye Yuan with ill-intent, but it was like Ye Yuan did not feel anything. He still chatted in a jovial manner.
...
The guests and host getting seated, the trial of the young patriarch was also officially starting.
This trial was divided into a total of three rounds. What it tested was respectively, character, bloodline, as well as true strength.
"The first round, the test of character. Rong Ning, Wu Mo, White Light, the three of you will enter the Heart Examining Forest. The first to come out will win!" An elder said in a clear voice.
Rong Ning was the Crimson Flame Clan's candidate who replaced Rong Xin.
Compared to Rong Xin, his strength was naturally a notch weaker. But the Crimsonflame Clan's strength itself was already very strong. Rong Ning's strength still could not be underestimated.
This Heart Examining Forest was specially set up by the White Tiger Clan to test the young patriarch. Inside the forest had a powerful illusionary formation.
After White Light trio received the orders, they immediately entered inside the Heart Examining Forest.
"Head Elder, I wonder who you're most optimistic about among these three people?" After the three people entered, Bai Yi opened his mouth and asked Rong Kun.
The moment these words were asked, quite a few people also revealed interested looks. Even the other three clans' powerhouses also perked their ears up.
Rong Kun smiled and said, "Just talking about this Heart Examining Forest round, this old man is actually most optimistic about Wu Mo! This boy's character is level-headed, not arrogant nor rash. Talking in terms of temperament, he's actually the most suited for the position of young patriarch. Even with White Light's sudden emergence, he did not display the slightest look of alarm either."
Hearing these words, quite a few elders and patriarchs all secretly nodded their heads.
The Suppression Martial Clan's Wu Mo had always been very low-profile. But nobody dared to overlook his stren
gth either.
If White Light did not show up, Rong Xin's greatest competitor would be Wu Mo!
Even Rong Xin himself also did not dare say that he could definitely win Wu Mo.
It could be seen from this how formidable Wu Mo's strength was.
Furthermore, Wu Mo's character was level-headed and rarely contended for anything as well. He just quietly cultivated by himself.
His performance, Rong Kun naturally took it into his sights too.
If not for White Light breaking through to sacred rank bloodline, Rong Kun actually still fancied Wu Mo more.
Among the three people, Rong Xin exposed his edge a little too much. White Light emerged all of a sudden, while Wu Mo was deep like an abyss.
In comparison, it was indeed Wu Mo, who was a little more suited for the position of young patriarch.
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the elder below suddenly called out in a clear voice, "White Light is the first to walk out of the Heart Examining Forest. The first round, White Light wins!"
Rong Kun could not help turning stiff when he heard that. Just how long had it been and White Light already walked out of the Heart Examining Forest?
They only said a couple of words from start to end. Adding it up, it was also merely several dozen breaths of time. Came out just like that?
The Heart Examining Forest was not large. Calculating it, it was also the time to walk from end to end. Could it be that White Light did not delay at all inside? Means get out of a bind in a manner that saved face.
Chapter 999 - Heart of a Pure Child
"What kind of joke is this? This Heart Examining Forest, even if the elders go in, it's also not possible to come out so quickly. White Light actually walked out immediately?"
"Could it be that some problem occurred with the array formation? The Heart Examining Forest is a high-grade Tier 9 array formation. If the young generation enters, the fastest takes half a day's time before they can come out as well."
"No way! If something happened to the array formation, then why didn't Rong Ning and Wu Mo, the two of them, come out yet?"
"That brat called Ye Yuan is very bizarre. Why did White Light also become so bizarre now?"
White Light directly walking out of the Heart Examining Forest made all of the White Tiger Clan's members burst into an uproar.
This sort of incident of directly passing through the Heart Examining Forest had never happened before from ancient times to the present.
Unless it was a terrifying existence like Ye Yuan whose heart realm reached Heaven Man Unity Realm, otherwise, even Divine King Realm elders would also be trapped for that little while.
As for the junior generation, that went even more without saying.
"Head Elder, this matter is definitely fishy! White Light he must have cheated! Otherwise, how is it possible to past right through the Heart Examining Forest?" Rong Yin said solemnly.
While at this time, the Suppression Martial Clan's patriarch, Wu Qian, also could not sit still anymore as well. He likewise cupped his fists and said, "Head Elder, this matter is too strange! We must get to the bottom of it!"
These two clans already came forward, Bai Jue naturally could not sit passively and resign himself to death either. He hurriedly said, "In the past, there isn't, doesn't meant that there won't be in the future! White Light's strength can't be judged with common sense to begin with. If you can't bear a loss, then withdraw out of the struggle to become the young patriarch. Why is there a need to insult people with words?"
Truthfully speaking, Bai Jue was also incomparably shocked. But White Light was the Flowing Light Clan's young patriarch. He naturally could not be afraid at this time, immediately throwing back the insinuations.
Rong Kun was just about to open his mouth when White Light cupped his fists and said, "Head Elder, before the trial, White Light already handed over all of my storage rings. It's impossible to bring any treasures with me. If Head Elder is still not at ease, White Light is willing to accept an inspection. It's just, if White Light didn't cheat, what then?"
White Light was steady as a rock, looking at Rong Yin without showing the least bit of weakness.
He was a lofty White Tiger Clan's young patriarch candidate. Being maligned for no reason like this, he obviously had to win back some ground.
Being squeezed by White Light like this, Rong Yin could not help finding it somewhat hard to get off the tiger's back.
It was just that he would not believe that White Light could pass through the Heart Examining Forest within such a short time even if he was beaten to death.
"Humph! If we find out that you didn't cheat, this old man will just resign from being patriarch!" Rong Yin said with a cold snort.
The moment these words came out, everyone was stunned. This joke went a little overboard. Rong Yin actually used the position of patriarch to wager a bet. It was acting too much on impulse.
Except, Rong Yin was indeed stifled in the c.h.e.s.t, making him bet his own position of patriarch.
Originally, the Crimsonflame Clan's situation was excellent. Rong Yin was naturally in high spirits too.
But ever since Ye Yuan entered the White Tiger Clan, the Crimsonflame Clan became plagued with problems for all matters.
Putting aside the incident of a traitor emerging, it even lost Rong Xin's young patriarch candidate rights. Right now, the Crimsonflame Clan became the entire White Tiger Clan's laughing stock.
White Light cheating so obviously, if he could not even drag him down the horse, he, this patriarch, did not have much point as well anymore.
Rong Kun's face fell, and he said, "Messing around! How can the position of patriarch be used out of spite? White Light, not that this seat doesn't believe you, it's just that your matter is indeed too queer. You're also aware, ever since the Heart Examining Forest was established, nobody could pass through so quickly before. Even Divine King elders cannot as well! Can you tell this seat just what is going on here?"
White Light bowed and said, "This, White Light don't know. Either way, after I entered the Heart Examining Forest, I didn't see anything and just directly walked out like that. If Head Elder really wants me to say, I really can't give an explanation. Therefore, if Head Elder feels uneasy, better do a check."
White Light said it very innocently, but he did not lie. The Heart Examining Forest's illusionary realm did not have any effect on him at all.
Hearing White Light's words, Rong Kun could not help being powerless and could only say, "Since that's the case, best do an inspection then. Otherwise, it's hard to convince the masses. White Light, are you willing?"
White Light naturally did not have any unwillingness. Because no matter what method they used, it was also impossible to investigate how he cheated.
Just as the White Tiger Clan was bustling about to examine White Light, inside Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil grumbled with a smug look, "Haha, these bunch of fools! Even if they take out a divine artifact, it's impossible to detect this great one's existence too! But you, boy, are really insidious, to actually come up with this sort of way to cheat! Too despicable!"
Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Looking at your appearance, aren't you quite enjoying it? Making you help previously, you even had a hundred objections!"
Speaking of this, the smugness on the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil's face instantly vanished without a trace. He gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "You, boy, still have the face to say it! You're simply a malefic star! Do you know that dividing divine sense out might let this great one's primordial spirit collapse?"
Ye Yuan said with an indifferent look, "Aren't you fine? Furthermore, as an exchange, I already imparted you the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art. That's a Divine Dao mystic art!"
The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil gave a cold snort but said no more.
Originally, in order to help White Light pass through the Heart Examining Forest, Ye Yuan resorted to coercion and bribery to make the Sun Moon Heavenly Pu
pil cultivate the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, then divide out a trace of divine sense into White Light's eyes.
The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil's terror did not just lie on its illusionary magic accomplishments. He could even see through all of truth and falsehood!
The Heart Examining Forest, this level of illusionary realm, was simply child's play to him. It could not cause any hindrance to him at all.
Therefore, White Light actually really cheated. It was just that the method of cheating, nobody could perceive it.
The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was extremely hard to catch to begin with. Wanting to hide from the eyes of ears of everyone was truly too easy. Furthermore, he was not a magic treasure himself and was completely not afraid that the White Tiger Clan could detect him.
Indeed, the White Tiger Clan even brought out a transcendent-grade holy artifact but did not find anything wrong on White Light's body.
Seeing this scene, Rong Yin's expression became increasingly ugly.
"Replying Head Elder, White Light didn't carry any magic treasure on him!"
Along with this verdict coming out, everyone burst into an uproar again.
Under the circ.u.mstances where he did not rely on any magic treasures, White Light actually passed right through the Heart Examining Forest. This was simply too fantastical.
"Head Elder, if everybody still feels that there's a problem, White Light is willing to walk through the Heart Examining Forest again!" White Light clasped his hands and said.
Before waiting for Rong Kun to reply, White Light leaped and already entered the Heart Examining Forest.
After several dozen breaths, White Light's figure rushed out of the Heart Examining Forest once more. This time, everyone all had nothing to say.
"Head Elder, this … could White Light be of the legendary Heart of a Pure Child?" Bai Yi suddenly said 1 .
Head Elder's expression turned apprehensive. Looking towards White Light with eyes like he was staring at a monster, he slowly nodded his head and said, "It appears that there is only this explanation! Truly didn't think that not only did White Light break through to sacred rank bloodline, he's actually even of the legendary Heart of a Pure Child! Truly remarkable!" Unfortunately, this sounds weird as hell when translated to English. It's an idiom which doesn't appear again after this arc, so just bear with it.
