Chapter 1795: Crushed in One Blow

"Boom!"

A thunderous drum sound spread out, shaking everyone's eardrums painfully.

Those who had been mocking earlier all changed expression drastically upon hearing the drum.

Anyone who wasn't a fool could tell that this drum sound was the loudest so far!

Everyone was dumbfounded; no one had expected that Han Yong would make the Yaoguang Drum resonate so loudly with a single fart.

"Ouch!"

Han Yong let out a miserable cry, unable to keep his footing, and fell from midair.

But he didn't feel pain; he scrambled up, his face flushed red with excitement.

He ran up to Ye Yuan, beaming, "It actually worked! You didn't lie to me!"

Ye Yuan laughed and scolded, "So you always thought I was lying to you!"

Han Yong choked, embarrassed, "That's not what I meant."

"Heh, it's normal to doubt, after all, this method is somewhat incredible," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Nearby, Yang Fan was so shocked he hadn't spoken yet, looking at Ye Yuan with utter disbelief.

This guy's guidance had actually worked!

Elder Hong stared at the scene in astonishment; it was the first time he had seen someone pass the assessment in such an earth-shattering way.

"Han Yong, fifth rank! Passed the assessment!"

These words struck Zhao Zhao's heart like a heavy hammer.

He gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Elder Hong, I... I object! How can this count as passing the assessment?"

Elder Hong's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Are you questioning me?"

Zhao Zhao was startled but insisted, "Elder Hong, if passing the assessment by farting is allowed, then our Shadow Moon Sect will become a laughingstock to the world!"

Elder Hong frowned and said, "Passing is passing; the Yaoguang Drum does not lie! If you say another word, I'll disqualify you!"

Zhao Zhao's face changed, and he dared not say more.

Han Yong said smugly, "Zhao Zhao, weren't you just now very proud? Didn't you say I couldn't surpass you? Heh, now, pay up on the bet!"

Zhao Zhao's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth, "You struck the drum in such an absurd way, and you still have the nerve to mention the bet?"

Han Yong, as if expecting his attitude, sneered, "Even Elder Hong has confirmed it; you have no right to deny it! Whether I passed the assessment, that little flag will confirm it! So, are you going back on your word now?"

Zhao Zhao was suddenly pushed to the edge of a cliff.

Many around cast strange looks at Zhao Zhao, their faces full of contempt.

Their bet had many witnesses.

Now Zhao Zhao was going back on his word.

Zhao Zhao gritted his teeth and roared, "So what if I go back on my word? What can you do to me?"

Han Yong laughed, "What can I do to you? Heh, everyone saw it, people from the Demon Elephant Sect are liars, no strength yet dare to bet with me, and when they lose, they don't own up! What a ridiculous sect this is!"

"This Zhao Zhao, I didn't expect him to be so shameless!"

"He's disgraced the Demon Elephant Sect."

"Hey, if he doesn't honor the bet, who would want to get close to someone like him in the future?"

...

Han Yong's words immediately drew a wave of contempt.

Zhao Zhao's face was extremely ugly; he was in a dilemma—whether he honored the bet or not, the sect's reputation was already tarnished.

Just as he was at a loss, a figure suddenly flashed by.

"Slap!"

A resounding slap landed on Zhao Zhao's face.

Song Ting looked grimly at Zhao Zhao and said angrily, "You idiot, have you lost your mind? How dare you agree to such a bet!"

Zhao Zhao felt deeply wronged. How was he supposed to know that Han Yong would surpass him with a fart?

"I..."

Just as Zhao Zhao was about to defend himself, Song Ting said coldly, "What 'I'? From now on, you are no longer a member of the Demon Elephant Sect!"

Zhao Zhao's expression changed, and he said in panic, "This... how can this be?"

Once expelled from the Demon Elephant Sect, he would no longer receive protection within the Shadow Moon Sect.

In this sect teeming with geniuses, it would be very difficult for him to stand firm.

Song Ting sneered, "Otherwise, how do you plan to resolve this?"

Zhao Zhao choked at the words. It seemed this was the best way to solve the problem.

Zhao Zhao's face turned ashen. He suddenly realized that his future had become bleak.

And the culprit was actually a bet!

A bet that was almost certain to win had ended in defeat!

Han Yong watched the drama on the sidelines, thoroughly enjoying himself.

For so many years, Zhao Zhao had been suppressing him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He never expected that with just one opportunity, he could completely crush this guy.

Without the Demon Elephant Sect as a backing, the three Zhao brothers would die an ugly death.

Just as Jiang Xueyan had warned Ye Yuan, even someone with Ye Yuan's talent couldn't gain a foothold, let alone a mere Zhao Zhao.

At this moment, Han Yong felt immense satisfaction and looked at Ye Yuan with gratitude.

In fact, what Ye Yuan taught him was simple: to continuously circulate the world's power within his body in a great cycle, finally sinking it into his dantian.

When it accumulated to the body's limit, release it all at once.

Although Han Yong didn't understand why, it was clear that he had succeeded.

Thinking of how he had doubted Ye Yuan earlier, he felt deeply ashamed.

Ye Yuan had intended to help him get rid of Zhao Zhao, yet he had doubted Ye Yuan's intentions.

"Ye Yuan, I apologize to you!" Yang Fan suddenly spoke to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and smiled, "You were worried about your brother, so it's only natural. How could I not distinguish right from wrong? This apology is unnecessary."

Yang Fan looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, secretly shocked.

This kid sees through everything clearly!

"Ye Yuan, I noticed that when Zhao Zhao spoke to you earlier, he seemed particularly afraid of you?"

Yang Fan had found it strange earlier. When facing Ye Yuan, Zhao Zhao was a completely different person, as if Ye Yuan were a ferocious beast.

This feeling struck him as utterly absurd.

Although Ye Yuan had broken through, Zhao Zhao shouldn't be so terrified, right?

"That guy was severely taught a lesson by me and Bai Li Qingyan in the Shadow Moon Mountains, so that's why." Ye Yuan said vaguely.

Yang Fan understood, but Ye Yuan's words only made him more puzzled.

Could it be that Ye Yuan and Bai Li Qingyan really had an inexplicable relationship?

The assessment continued. The remaining candidates were all strong, with many at the third or fourth rank.

However, there was not a single fifth-rank.

It wasn't until Duan Qinghong made his move that he steadily achieved a fifth-rank upper.

Zhong Hanlin and Duan Qinghong were evenly matched, also at the fifth-rank upper level.

Thus, Han Yong was actually ranked third so far, something no one had expected.

"Next, Ye Yuan!"

When it was Ye Yuan's turn, he did not move but instead cupped his hands to Steward Hong and said, "Steward Hong, may this disciple request to be assessed last?"
