It was just that Qin Peiyu was entertained, but Fatty suffered.
A divine artifact lashing on the body was not some fun thing.
But it was also precisely because of this that that expert relaxed his vigilance. Fatty saw a gap and restrained Qin Peiyu with one shot.
That expert held back for fear of hurting Qin Peiyu. Naturally, the expert did not dare to approach either.
Little Fatty sealed Qin Peiyu's divine sea before dragging her onto Wu Meng Plaza.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance. Feeling guilt in his heart, he said with a sigh, "Sigh, why did you do this? This matter was my fault, I shouldn't have made wild guesses. You'll … lose your life like this!"
Little Fatty chuckled and said, "You, Ye Yuan, are clever. I, Little Fatty, am not dumb either! You're a warmhearted person, lending a helping hand when we met by chance! There must be a reason that you had some suspicions toward me!"
Ye Yuan was stunned, not expecting that this guy's heart was clear.
Little Fatty suddenly changed his expression again and said very carefully, "Ye Yuan, is it really okay? That Qin Nantian left ruthless words before leaving."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "He's merely giving himself a way out. The things that the Qin Family themselves did, he's even clearer than us! This incident, he can only swallow the broken teeth into his stomach!"
Chapter 1385 - Three Years Arranged Battle!
"Sword Tomb second level, one month. I'll have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao."
Ye Yuan came to the lobby outside the Sword Tomb and handed Zhao Qin his academy token.
Zhao Qin looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze filled with a complicated look.
"Sword Tomb second level, 40 points have to be deducted each time," Zhao Qin said.
"Mn, I know. I'll have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao," Ye Yuan said courteously.
Zhao Qin nodded his head and helped Ye Yuan deduct the points.
Ye Yuan received the token and directly entered the Sword Tomb.
"Heh, Zhao Qin, what's with your expression? Who's that kid?"
At this time, an inner-court disciple entered the lobby. Seeing the strange expression on Zhao Qin's face, he could not resist asking.
Zhao Qin did a shush hand gesture and lowered his voice to say, "Hush, Ma Zhi, be softer! You don't even recognize him? Are you really someone from our Wu Meng Academy?"
Ma Chi smiled and said, "A middle-stage Grotto Profound rookie, I know him for what?"
Zhao Qin said with a disdainful look, "I ask you, who's the most talked about person in the academy these few days?"
Ma Zhi was stunned, his face immediately revealing a shocked look as he lowered his voice and said, "You're saying that … he's Ye Yuan?"
Zhao Qin said, "Otherwise, who else can he be? Heard that the verdict on Commander Zhao that side already came down, judging Ye Yuan as not guilty! He killed the Qin Family's direct lineage descendant without even batting an eyelid. Furthermore, he can even enter the Sword Tomb perfectly safe and sound to comprehend the sword now. So what expression … do you think I should show?"
Ma Zhi drew a cold breath and said, "It's a pity. I was in closed-seclusion that day and didn't feast my eyes on it! Qin Peiyu that little fiend, nobody could control her in the entire Wu Meng Capital City. She also never dreamed that she bumped into a great fiend's hands this time!"
That day, Zhao Qin was present too.
He originally just went to join in the fun and take a look at how Little Fatty would be abused.
But he did not expect that Ye Yuan charged out halfway, directly killing Qin Peiyu.
At that time, his entire person was dumbfounded. He even thought that he saw things wrongly.
Hearing Ma Zhi mentioned it, Zhao Qin still had lingering fear currently and said, "You aren't aware, but at that time, he just pointed and Qin Peiyu kicked the bucket. He didn't even bat an eyelid, just like killing a chicken! At that time, I even thought that this guy's head was spoiled. But then, I didn't expect that it actually startled Tower Lord Han Tian to personally come forward."
Ma Zhi smiled and said, "This guy's guts are really fat! But starting from now, Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian probably won't let him off, right?'
Zhao Qin chuckled and said, "What the hell do you know! Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian has long clashed with him already. The last time, he said to Ye Yuan's face that Ye Yuan was already a dead man. In the end, Ye Yuan didn't die, but his biological sister died!"
Ma Zhi's face turned stiff, and he said, "There's still such a thing?"
Zhao Qin said, "Bluff you for what? They were talking here, I was right beside!"
Ma Zhi said, "What capabilities does this boy have, to actually be able to startle Tower Lord Han Tian?"
Zhao Qin said meaningfully, "Heh, the Wu Meng Plaza incident is stirred up too big, resulting in many people in the academy to all not pay attention to another matter! Actually, before that, Ye Yuan still did another earth-shattering major thing!"
Zhao Qin recounted the events of Ye Yuan pulling the sword that day, making Ma Zhi's eyeballs go wide.
"There … There's still such a thing?" Ma Zhi said with a disbelieving look.
Zhao Qin had a smug look and was just about to show off when another person entered the lobby.
"Ye Yuan went in?" Qin Shao asked.
Zhao Qin's face became stifled, and he said with a nod, "Yes, just went in."
Qin Shao's expression turned sullen. Passing the token to Zhao Qin, he said in a solemn voice, "Sword Tomb second level, one month!"
...
When Qin Shao entered the Sword Tomb, he discovered that Ye Yuan already entered the second level.
The second level's number of people around were clearly more than the first level's.
But Qin Shao still recognized Ye Yuan with one glance, because he was too conspicuous in the land of sword burials.
Ye Yuan was using that kind of self-mutilating method to cultivate again.
The second level's difficulty was much greater than the first level.
Qin Shao only used three tries of points to clear the first level, which was also three months.
But the second level, he already trained for almost a year and was still unable to succeed in getting through.
Each level, the deeper one went, the more powerful the sword intent.
Want to succeed in clearing it, there had to be a gradual process in a proper sequence.
Of course, Ye Yuan was completely an exception.
Clearing rounds in the Sword Tomb had nothing to do with strength. It was just looking at concept!
The more profound the comprehension toward Sword Dao laws, the more thorough when clearing the levels.
Of course, if one's strength was powerful, by relying on powerful strength, one could similarly get through.
With Qin Shao's strength, if forcefully clearing, clearing the third level was no issue.
But he wanted to comprehend Sword Dao laws, that was why he intentionally slowed down and increased law comprehensions.
This Sword Tomb, each level had countless Sword Dao law fragments. How much one could comprehend depended on their own comprehension ability.
As for Ye Yuan like this, according to strength, it was impossible to get through the first level.
Yet, he passed.
Furthermore, it was clearing with a very bizarre method.
Now, this guy was self-mutilating again.
It was just that Ye Yuan's method, no one could do it at all.
Once they loosened up somewhat, they would be shredded into pieces by the all-pervasive Sword Dao laws!
Qin Shao's face fell, and he entered the Sword Tomb.
A month later, when Ye Yuan dragged his injury-laden body and walked out, he discovered that Qin Shao was already waiting for him.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said, "If you're here to say fierce words to me, don't waste your breath."
Qin Shao said, "Qin Peiyu's c
rimes deserved death. She isn't worthy of me saying fierce words."
Qin Shao's words made Ye Yuan feel rather surprised, and he said, "She was your younger sister, you're also a bit too cold-blooded, right?"
Qin Shao said coldly, "In large families, how is there the warm-heartedness you speak of? Since young, she has never regarded me as an elder brother."
Ye Yuan's gaze flickered, Qin Shao's words were said lightly, but there were probably quite a few undisclosed stories behind it!
"Then what are you specifically waiting for me for?" Ye Yuan said curiously.
"I want to carry out a life-and-death battle with you!"
When he said this, Qin Shao's words carried some agitation.
Ye Yuan's brows raised up, and he said with a cold smile, "You said that her crimes deserve death just now?"
Qin Shao seemed to have long expected Ye Yuan's attitude and said, "After that day, the family head came to find me. He proposed it, making me arrange a battle with you! Because only this way can kill you!"
Within the academy, they advocated competition. But they forbade students from killing each other in private.
But life-and-death battles were the only avenue to settle things.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, it looks like you're merely a tool in the eyes of the Qin Family's people! Your talent is so good, you're willing to be reduced to a tool?"
Qin Shao's face fell slightly, and he said, "I have no choice! Furthermore … I long to have a fight with you!"
Qin Shao paused for a bit and said again, "Furthermore, I know that you'll definitely agree! Because your growth can't avoid me!"
Ye Yuan gave Qin Shao a glance rather surprisedly and said, "You're different from the rest of the Qin Family! Fine, I promise you. But … I'm not your match right now. Give me three year's time, you and I will have a fight!"
Chapter 1386 - Each Preparing for Battle!
In the Qin Family's hall, Qin Nantian father and son were seated on the right-hand side, Qin Shao standing on the left.
"How was it? Did he agree?" Qin Nantian asked in a solemn voice.
He did not have much courteousness towards this branch nephew who obtained the Golden Sword Token.
The high and mighty attitude was clear at a glance.
Qin Nantian could not be blamed either. The Qin Family's geniuses were seriously too many!
Especially under the cover of Qin Tian's light, Qin Shao's achievements were not so dazzling.
"He and I made a three years agreement!" Qin Shao said.
Qin Nantian was first a little surprised, then furrowed his brows and said unhappily, "Why is it three years? In three years' time, the variables are too great!"
Qin Shao was unhappy in his heart, but in front of Qin Nantian, he still did not dare to be insolent and could only patiently say: "Agreeing to a life-and-death battle must be of both parties' own accord! He is currently only middle-stage Grotto Profound. Immediately undergoing a life-and-death battle can only be delivering himself to death. He won't agree to it."
Qin Nantian frowned and said, "Three years … Could it be that his strength is able to advance by leaps and bounds in these three years and reach an extent where he can contend with you?"
Qin Shao's strength, he was very clear. It was rare to have rivals among those in the same generation!
Ye Yuan's performance, they had also all learned about it. In combat strength, he was absolutely far inferior to Qin Shao.
Qin Shao was two minor realms higher than him. Furthermore, his concepts comprehensions were extremely high.
This was virtually an insurmountable gap in Deity Realm.
Three years' time was merely a snap of a finger to Deity Realm powerhouses. What could Ye Yuan do?
Qin Shao thought about it and said, "I guess that he should be comprehending a kind of martial technique. He's confident in successfully comprehending it within three years, this should be his reliance!"
Qin Nantian fell into contemplation. Suddenly, he said, "Then, do you have assurance in killing him after three years?"
Qin Shao said with a firm gaze, "Family Head, rest assured. These three years, Qin Shao will definitely go all out and assault the Sword Tomb's fourth level! After three years, I'll definitely cut him down beneath my sword!"
Qin Nantian nodded his head and said to Qin Shao, "Good. If you need any resources in these three years, feel free to ask from the family! But this battle must be won!"
Qin Shao cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Family Head!"
"Alright, go back home and take a look at your parents!" Qin Nantian waved his hands and let Qin Shao leave.
After Qin Shao left, Qin Nantian said to Qin Tian, "In your view, how great are Qin Shao's chances of winning?"
Qin Tian said, "If it were others, with Younger Brother Shao's strength, there's no suspense at all. But if the opponent is Ye Yuan, his chances of winning will probably be discounted."
Qin Nantian's face fell, and he said, "How so?"
Qin Tian smiled and said, "Father. There is no need to worry. With Younger Brother Shao's strength, as long as he can pass through the fourth level within three years, the chances of victory are at least above 80%! I'm worried about that Ye Yuan, mainly because he's somewhat unpredictable!"
Qin Nantian frowned and said, "You're talking about the incident that happened in the Sword Tomb's first level?"
Qin Tian said, "Yes! My view is the same as Younger Brother Shao's. Ye Yuan should be comprehending some kind of powerful martial technique. For him to dare leap realms to challenge, it must be this as the reliance! It's just that he probably never thought that Younger Brother Shao's talent is also exceedingly outstanding. Three years' time is sufficient to let him improve greatly. Presumably, Younger Brother Shao's dread towards Ye Yuan is even deeper than mine. So these three years' time, it shall be Younger Brother Shao's three years of transformation!"
Only after hearing Qin Tian's analysis did Qin Nantian's expression ease up slightly.
Qin Shao's personality, they were very clear with it. He was very eager to outdo others!
Under the stimulation of Ye Yuan's three years agreement, Qin Shao might burst forth with potential that would make everyone give a sidelong glance.
Even if Qin Shao's talent was inferior to Ye Yuan's, a mere three year's time, he absolutely would not be pulled apart too much!
After all, Qin Shao was two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan.
This disparity was absolutely not what three year's time could make up for!
...
In Wu Meng Academy, Ye Yuan and Qin Shao's three years agreement already spread out like the wind.
When Xie Jingyi heard this news, he went to find Ye Yuan straight away.
"Ye Yuan, did you make a mistake? You clearly know that Qin Shao is this season's top dog, you still dare to agree to his life and death battle?" Xie Jingyi said in exasperation upon seeing Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I dared to agree naturally because I have some assurance."
"Some? Are you soft in the head?" Xie Jingyi said angrily.
"Huhu, just as Qin Shao said, if I want to rise up, I must get past him, this hurdle! Furthermore, I've already not experienced such a battle for very long! His challenge makes me seethe with fighting intent!" Ye Yuan said excitedly.
Ever since coming to the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan had always shown people an image of a weakling.
On his side, he always needed other people's protection.
These several dozen years' time, Ye Yuan virtually had not fought before in the real sense.
Now, he comprehended an extremely profound cultivation method and was also currently comprehending an extremely powerful martial technique.
Qin Shao's arranged battle ignited Ye Yuan's d.e.s.i.r.e to fight!
"But you can't treat your own life as a joke too! If you want to fight, why must you find Qin Shao? He is about to pass the second level right away in the Sword Tomb! Three years later, his strength will r
each no idea what realm!" Xie Jingyi said in anger and disappointment.
Ye Yuan looked at Xie Jingyi and said with a smile, "You fatty, still have the mind to worry about me? If I didn't guess wrongly, your family probably already took some action, right?"
Xie Jingyi's expression involuntarily choked up, and he said embarrassedly, "How … How did you know? The … The family already cut off all of my resources! These bunch of fellows, really outrageous!"
"Still need to guess this? You poked such a large hole, so it's already pretty good that they didn't expel you from the family! However … you have to be careful of that third uncle of yours!" Ye Yuan said.
Xie Jingyi choked up and said, "Third Uncle? He … He shouldn't have ill-intentions, right? On that day, the reason he did so should also just be because he wanted to save me."
Ye Yuan said, "It's always right to be more careful! There are 5 million low-grade divine essence stones in here, you take it and use first. Come find me again when it's not enough."
Little Fatty chuckled and said, "Then Lord Fatty, I, won't be courteous. I know that you're back by the Myriad Treasure Tower and are a rich man! Today, I'll live off you, this magnate."
Seeing Little Fatty's greedy appearance, Ye Yuan's expression could not help choking up.
This punk was also too discourteous.
...
From then on, there were two more lunatics in the Sword Tomb.
One self-abused crazily, one trained in the sword crazily!
The second time entering the Sword Tomb after the three years agreement, Qin Shao made it past the second level and entered the third level!
And Ye Yuan's cultivation also entered a crazy mode.
Each time he entered the Sword Tomb, he would be covered all over in cuts and bruises before he was willing to come out.
In contrast, Qin Shao's Sword Dao laws were also soaring rapidly.
Ye Yuan was still the same as before, making himself a mass of bruises and wounds each time before exiting the Sword Tomb.
Then recuperating for a few days and entering again, rinse and repeat like this.
The sword art failed to be completed for a long time, but Ye Yuan was not in a hurry.
