Chapter 1716 Ye Yuan's Will to Fight

"Spa... Space law! This Ye Yuan, he has actually comprehended space law!"

"My god, no wonder he dared to step onto the arena; he's also a monstrous existence!"

"Indeed, no one who dares to come to the Hundred Battle Arena is a pushover!"

"Li Kun was too careless; otherwise, with his strength, he couldn't have lost so quickly."

...

That Divine Lord Fifth Layer's words immediately caused a stir among the contestants.

Space law was almost a legendary law power.

Suddenly appearing, how could everyone not be shocked?

However, Ye Yuan's cultivation level was there; even if space law was powerful, defeating Li Kun was already his limit.

Moreover, Li Kun's strength was not weak; if he had taken it seriously, the outcome would have been uncertain.

In the end, they all felt that Ye Yuan had exploited a loophole and won so easily only by luck.

The battles continued, and the strong ones of the sixth group also revealed their true faces one by one.

But the opponents in the first round could hardly truly test the real strength of these experts.

Although everyone was a genius, there were also gaps between geniuses.

Both at Divine Lord Fourth Layer, due to differences in law comprehension, their strength could vary greatly.

"I think that Gao Shun must be very strong! He took down his opponent with just one move."

"And that Song Tianqiang, without even using his weapon, handled his opponent with one hand."

"Xiahou Yun hasn't made a move yet; I wonder how strong he really is!"

...

Everyone discussed animatedly, guessing at the strength of those powerful contestants.

But what could be seen in the first round was really too little; they could only judge by the speed of the battles.

Still, the few powerful existences in this group had revealed the tip of the iceberg.

"Next group, Xiahou Yun versus Zhang Feng!"

Just then, the referee finally called Xiahou Yun's name.

Everyone's expression tightened, and they looked toward Xiahou Yun's figure.

The two leaped and landed on the arena.

Zhang Feng's face was extremely grim; he hadn't expected to be so unlucky as to face Xiahou Yun in the first round.

This was simply no contest!

"I'll give you three breaths to concede. If I make a move, you won't have a chance to concede! One..."

Xiahou Yun was supremely domineering, directly starting the countdown.

Zhang Feng's face was terribly pale, sweat beading on his forehead, and he immediately felt an immense pressure.

Yet Xiahou Yun hadn't even released his divine essence, just standing there calmly.

"Two..."

"I... I concede!"

With extreme reluctance, Zhang Feng conceded and surrendered; he didn't even have the courage to make a move.

Xiahou Yun's tyranny brought great psychological pressure to all the contestants.

Everyone knew he cultivated the law of destruction and had extremely strong combat power.

Without sufficient confidence, who would dare to test him?

One palm strike, and you'd be gone, without even a chance to concede!

If anyone else said that, it would be ridiculous.

But Xiahou Yun had the confidence!

The absolute realm of Divine Lord Sixth Layer, coupled with a powerful law like the law of destruction—who would dare to challenge him easily?

This was a true strongman!

One who crushed his peers!

"Xiahou Yun's aura is too strong! I... even down here, I felt immense pressure. Zhang Feng didn't go weak at the knees and kneel—that's already remarkable."

"Yeah, he's really too strong! With just one word, he shattered his opponent's will. Someone like that, there's simply no way to fight against him!"

"But I wonder if there's anyone who can give him a real challenge. Or will he just win first place without shedding a drop of blood?"

"That... it's hard to say. I reckon only those at the fifth level of Divine Lord would dare to try their hand against him. At least they'd have a chance to concede."

...

At that moment, even those at the fifth level of Divine Lord had extremely grim expressions.

The pressure Xiahou Yun brought them was too overwhelming.

Ye Yuan, however, had his eyes shining, as if he had spotted a long-lost prey.

This Xiahou Yun also brought him a powerful sense of oppression.

But this pressure actually made his blood boil with excitement.

And just then, Xiahou Yun's gaze turned toward him.

Their eyes met. Xiahou Yun was momentarily startled, then sneered inwardly: This kid actually wants to fight me. He really doesn't know his place!

"Is this kid provoking Xiahou Yun?"

"Am I seeing things?"

"Has he gone crazy from training? Does he think that comprehending the laws of space makes him invincible?"

"He's going! Xiahou Yun is actually walking toward Ye Yuan! Heh heh, this is going to be good."

...

Ye Yuan's battle intent was not concealed, and in the eyes of others, it seemed utterly ridiculous.

A second-level Divine Lord challenging a sixth-level Divine Lord, and a powerful one at that—no matter how you looked at it, it was suicide.

The laws of space could not bridge the vast gap in cultivation level.

That was common knowledge, something everyone knew.

Clearly, this 'fool' didn't know.

Xiahou Yun slowly walked up to Ye Yuan and said with a half-smile, "You want to challenge me?"

Ye Yuan didn't know that Jian Ping and Xiahou Yun had already made an arrangement; he simply instinctively wanted to fight a strong opponent.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You're very strong! But I must defeat you!"

No matter how strong the opponent, he had to win!

But to others, these words sounded like the funniest joke in the world.

"Hahaha, what an arrogant fool!"

"Kid, you're too cocky! Do you think comprehending the laws of space makes you invincible?"

"Kid, do you know what it means to throw an egg against a rock?"

...

A barrage of jeers came from the side.

This declaration sounded so feeble!

Xiahou Yun grinned and said, "Heh heh, the laws of space—I'm looking forward to them too! If you want to challenge me, first try to stand before me!"

Ye Yuan smiled casually and said, "Don't worry, I will."

With a smile on his face, Ye Yuan was startled inwardly.

He had cultivated the Supreme True Intent of Slaughter and was very sensitive to killing intent.

This Xiahou Yun actually harbored killing intent toward him!

Although Xiahou Yun concealed it extremely well, Ye Yuan still detected it.

"This is my first time meeting him. Why would he have killing intent toward me? Could it be... Jian Ping?" Ye Yuan quickly thought of Jian Ping.

In the Aurora Imperial City, aside from Jian Ping, he couldn't think of anyone else he had a conflict with.

Although Xiahou Yun was domineering, there was no way he would have killing intent toward him on their first meeting.

There was only one possibility: Jian Ping had asked Xiahou Yun to do this!

Ye Yuan sneered inwardly. This Jian Ping really was a persistent ghost!

Soon, the second round began!

The opponents in the second round were clearly much stronger, and the battles became intense.

But for Ye Yuan, there wasn't much difference.

It was still one move to defeat the enemy!
