Chapter 779: Dark Horse

"Ye Yuan, wins! Consecutive wins: eleven!" The referee of Ye City directly announced the result.

Ye Yuan defeated Peng Yan and directly obtained half of his winning count.

Although Peng Yan failed, he still had a chance to challenge tomorrow.

Judging by his expression, it seemed he wanted to challenge Ye Yuan again tomorrow.

Ye Yuan's soul-stirring kick had thoroughly settled the grudge between the two.

"Just now, he should have used the True Intent of Scorching Heat, right? The other... could it be the power of a true dragon? This Ye Yuan has such a heaven-defying fortune, actually obtaining the power of a true dragon! Even more terrifying, he managed to fuse these two extreme powers together! Tsk tsk, fighting across a major realm, that kid actually did it!" Yang Wenmiao thought to himself in shock.

Although shocked, Yang Wenmiao did not feel inferior to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's methods were heaven-defying, but Yang Wenmiao was also very confident in his own methods.

However, there was no doubt that Ye Yuan's strength was enough to rank among the strong and had the power to contend for the promotion spot.

Just as Yang Wenmiao was deep in thought, another burst of exclamations came from below the stage.

Yang Wenmiao was slightly startled, only to see a young man standing on the stage where he was.

Someone wanted to challenge him?

The young man cupped his hands and said, "I have long heard that Brother Yang is the number one in Ye City. I am Tang Fan from Nanwu City, and I wish to challenge Brother Yang!"

Yang Wenmiao couldn't help sizing up this young man named Tang Fan, who seemed to have nothing extraordinary about him.

What slightly surprised Yang Wenmiao was that Tang Fan was only at the fifth level of the Boundless Realm.

From childhood to adulthood, Yang Wenmiao had always challenged opponents of higher cultivation levels. Today's situation was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Tang Fan's action, however, caused an uproar among Yang Wenmiao's supporters.

"Who does that kid think he is, daring to challenge Wenmiao! With his level, isn't he just making a fool of himself?"

"Exactly! This guy is really overestimating himself, daring to challenge Wenmiao! He must be doing it just to attract attention!"

"Wenmiao, beat him flat!"

In everyone's mind, Yang Wenmiao should have gone unchallenged for two days and directly obtained the qualification to advance.

But now, someone had broken this assumption that everyone had agreed upon, so the reaction was particularly strong.

Even Ye Yuan was very surprised by Tang Fan's action.

After a brief moment of daze, Yang Wenmiao nodded lightly and said, "Make your move!"

"Forgive my impertinence!"

As soon as Tang Fan made his move, Yang Wenmiao's expression turned serious.

Tang Fan's strength was unexpectedly not ordinary!

Tang Fan was also a master of the sword, and his sword seemed to focus on only one word: 'fast'!

His swordsmanship was incredibly fast, almost giving the opponent no chance to strike.

There are myriad paths of the sword, and everyone pursues something different.

Some pursue the righteous spirit of the sword, some pursue the steady and grand style, while Ye Yuan pursued agility and sharpness!

This Tang Fan pursued lightness and speed!

Striking thousands of times in an instant, how could the opponent have time to react?

Tang Fan's sword silenced all previous doubts.

These geniuses had high insight and could tell that if it weren't for Yang Wenmiao standing on the stage, the opponent would have already been defeated!

At the seventh level of the Boundless Realm, even that Peng Yan probably wouldn't be a match for this Tang Fan!

This Tang Fan was too strong!

Tang Fan's movements were too fast, so fast that his figure filled the entire stage.

That wasn't the clone technique like Peng Yan's; it was purely afterimages left by sheer speed!

Under Tang Fan's onslaught, Yang Wenmiao could only defend for a time!

Those supporters of Yang Wenmiao had also fallen silent, clenching their fists and silently cheering for him.

"So... so strong! Could it be that this Tang Fan is going to pull Yang Wenmiao down from his pedestal?" Xiang Hao swallowed his saliva and said in astonishment.

In this competition, he had witnessed too many monstrous geniuses.

As one of the top geniuses in Gufeng City, Xiang Hao now realized that he had been a frog at the bottom of a well!

With so many powerful opponents in just Ye City, what about the entire Chixia Holy Land?

Mu Yun nodded and said, "Indeed very strong! But I feel that it might still be somewhat difficult for him to defeat Yang Wenmiao."

"Hmm? Yang Wenmiao has been suppressed to the point of having no room to fight back. Is there still a chance for him to turn the tables?" Xiang Hao asked in surprise.

"Tang Fan's style of fighting is formidable, but it consumes a lot of Yuan Power. If he can't take down his opponent quickly, he'll be at a disadvantage." Mu Yun commented.

At this moment, Ye Yuan on the stage also let out a slight sigh.

This Tang Fan would ultimately lose.

Sure enough, Yang Wenmiao suddenly burst forth with an aura, sending Tang Fan flying off.

Tang Fan seemed unwilling to accept defeat and tried to struggle in mid-air, but Yang Wenmiao's sword aura gave him no chance to catch his breath, directly blasting him off the stage.

There was no sound of mockery for Tang Fan. Being able to push Yang Wenmiao to such an extent, Tang Fan could be said to be the first!

His strength had earned the respect of everyone!

Yang Wenmiao stood with his sword behind his back and said to Tang Fan below the stage, "You are very strong! I look forward to crossing swords with you next time!"

Tang Fan struggled to stand up and said stubbornly, "Next time, I will definitely defeat you!"

Yang Wenmiao smiled but didn't say much.

He had deeply felt the threat from this Tang Fan.

After all, Tang Fan was only at the fifth level of the Boundless Realm, three minor realms lower than him, yet he could push him to such a state.

This Tang Fan's potential was absolutely very strong!

At this moment, Yang Wenmiao's gaze involuntarily turned to Ye Yuan again. This person's threat seemed even greater than Tang Fan's!

Yang Wenmiao hadn't expected to encounter so many rising stars in this competition, deeply feeling the pressure.

But in his heart, a soaring fighting spirit was also burning fiercely.

...

Before the competition, no one had expected that the second day would reach such a fever pitch.

The previously unknown Ye Yuan and Tang Fan stood out and became the focus of everyone's attention.

Although Tang Fan lost, he hadn't lost his chance to advance. Without a doubt, obtaining a promotion spot was no problem for him.

As for Ye Yuan, after cleanly defeating four opponents at the seventh level of the Boundless Realm in succession, no one dared to challenge him anymore.

Thus, two of the six stages became very quiet.

One was Yang Wenmiao's, and the other was Ye Yuan's.

After Yang Wenmiao defeated Tang Fan, everyone assumed that no one would challenge him anymore.

By this time, no one dared to doubt Ye Yuan's strength anymore.

This promotion spot was firmly in Ye Yuan's grasp!

However, to everyone's surprise, after losing to Yang Wenmiao, Tang Fan did not choose to occupy a stage on the third day of competition but directly challenged Ye Yuan!
