Chapter 874: Sweeping Through

"Tiger Lord has made his move! Tiger Lord is a true four-star soul general, the third-ranked powerhouse on the first level!"

"Tiger Lord has already won over a hundred consecutive matches, never leaving a single survivor. Winning twenty in a row would earn him promotion to the second level, but he deliberately stays on the first level, clearly wanting to consolidate further."

"This kid is dead for sure, actually provoking Tiger Lord. A newcomer should keep a low profile. Being this arrogant is just asking for death, isn't it?"

The burly man's entrance lifted everyone's spirits.

Ye Yuan's earlier move had stunned everyone, but as a new face, people instinctively refused to acknowledge him.

On the first level, Wang Dong's strength was deeply ingrained in everyone's minds.

He had been taken down by Ye Yuan with a single punch, but in everyone's hearts, they still believed Wang Dong had underestimated his opponent.

Now that Tiger Lord, whose strength was far superior, had arrived, they naturally didn't think Ye Yuan would win.

Tiger Lord wielded a pair of battle axes, looking immensely formidable.

In fact, there were few who could force him to use his weapons. If not for the shock of Ye Yuan's earlier punch, he wouldn't have drawn his weapons right away.

Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, saying calmly, "Come on."

Tiger Lord's face darkened, and he said irritably, "Kid, you look down on your Tiger Lord, do you? Today, your Tiger Lord will teach you to keep a low profile in this Shura Field!"

With that, Tiger Lord stomped his feet hard, his massive body leaping into the air with astonishing speed.

His axes whipped up a gale as they came crashing down toward where Ye Yuan stood.

A world-shattering axe strike!

He held nothing back, driving his primal force to the limit. He figured that no matter how fast Ye Yuan was, he couldn't completely dodge this strike.

The only option was to meet it head-on!

"Boom!"

A massive wave of air burst outward, forcing everyone to squint.

"Is... is he joking? He caught that axe with his bare hand?" One person rubbed his eyes, clearly unable to believe what he was seeing.

Tiger Lord's eyes bulged wide, feeling the scene before him was too unreal.

He hadn't underestimated Ye Yuan; this strike had been infused with almost all his primal force, amplified by his four-star killing intent, making it as heavy as a thousand jun.

How could anyone possibly catch such an axe strike with one hand?

Indeed, Ye Yuan had caught his axe with just one hand!

Ye Yuan stood still, not even moving. Such a battle was simply unbelievable.

After all, Tiger Lord was the top existence on the first level, yet he couldn't even break through Ye Yuan's single hand.

The gap... was too great!

How could they know that Ye Yuan, having fused with the Primordial Dragon Bone, had arms whose strength was nearly approaching that of a holy artifact?

Over these days, Ye Yuan had been slowly refining the Primordial Dragon Bone, and the toughness of his arms was continuously increasing.

Coupled with the enhancement of his Scorching Supreme True Intent, catching this axe with one hand was no difficult task.

Seeing this, Tan Si, who had been silently watching from below, also changed expression slightly.

He simply couldn't gauge Ye Yuan's strength.

But the toughness of Ye Yuan's physical body was utterly astonishing. Catching that violent axe barehanded and standing as still as a bell—Ye Yuan was practically a human-shaped weapon!

With a whoosh, Tiger Lord retreated rapidly, all the way to the edge of the arena.

He eyed Ye Yuan warily, filled with extreme caution.

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "What, still want to go?"

Seeing that Ye Yuan had no intention of pressing the attack, Tiger Lord, for some reason, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been on the first level for a long time, and this was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying opponent.

"I... I concede!" Tiger Lord felt no resentment, only a sense of relief.

This newcomer was simply too terrifying!

With Tiger Lord's concession, his killing intent slowly flowed toward Ye Yuan. In that instant, the fourth star on his brow dimmed noticeably.

Meanwhile, the fourth star on Ye Yuan's brow flickered faintly, almost ready to condense into Supreme True Intent.

"Where did this newcomer come from? Why have we never heard of him before?"

"I saw earlier that he seemed to have just entered the Shura Field!"

"His strength simply doesn't belong on the first level. With such power, he'd sweep through the first level!"

The crowd murmured among themselves, gaining a clear understanding of Ye Yuan's terror.

This newcomer's age and cultivation level were unremarkable, but his combat prowess was frighteningly strong.

They found it hard to imagine how such a small body could contain such immense energy!

"Hmm... Anyone else coming up?" Ye Yuan asked innocently.

Just then, a gray-robed middle-aged man entered the arena and announced loudly, "If no one challenges Ye Yuan within half an hour, he will directly qualify for promotion to the second level!"

Time ticked by, and soon half an hour passed, but no one dared to step up and challenge Ye Yuan.

The gray-robed man said, "Congratulations, Brother Ye, on breaking the bank! You will directly earn the opportunity to advance to the second level, along with twenty killing points!"

Ye Yuan said, "Only twenty killing points? Isn't that a bit too little?"

Ye Yuan knew some of the major rules of the Shura Field, but he wasn't clear on the specifics, and killing points were one of them.

In Ye Yuan's view, what could twenty killing points possibly do?

The gray-robed man smiled and explained, "Brother Ye, don't underestimate these twenty killing points. They can buy many things. Very few on the first level earn killing points. Go take a look at the Shura Shop, and you'll understand. Additionally, these killing points can be used to exchange for training grounds and to purchase items that primal crystals can't buy."

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I see. I understand. I wonder if I can delay entering the second level for a few days?"

The gray-robed man nodded. "Of course! You can even choose not to enter the second level, and unless someone challenges you, you won't be scheduled for battles. That's your freedom."

Ye Yuan hadn't expected such favorable treatment. He nodded and said, "I will enter the second level eventually. The first level is too boring. I imagine the second level is full of strong opponents, so I'd better improve my strength first."

The gray-robed man was speechless. Tiger Lord had been unable to test Ye Yuan's limits; he would likely rank among the top on the second level as well.

And yet this guy was talking about improving his strength.

Still, it was true that Ye Yuan's cultivation level was somewhat low.

Leaving the arena, Ye Yuan approached Tan Si and said to him, "Your turn. With your strength, breaking the bank shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Tan Si glanced at Ye Yuan, then leaped into the arena.
