Capítulo 1436: Chapter 1310: Playing Dumb to Outsmart the Tiger
Defeated!
Lin Qingfeng was defeated, and he chose to admit defeat voluntarily!
This outco left Lin Qingfeng with a bitter taste in his heart.
Although he knew that trying to defeat Ye Fan was a very difficult task, he never expected to lose so quickly.
Conversely, he thought that as long as he fought desperately, Ye Fan, even if he won, would certainly have to pay a considerable price!
However——
Things were completely beyond his expectations!
Ye Fan used dropping the Thunder Emperor Spear as a decoy to attract his attention, and then struck directly behind him with lightning speed.
In such a situation, even if he wanted to fight desperately, there was no opportunity——Ye Fan only needed to lightly release a Punch Ray, and he would imdiately die without a grave, even his Divine Soul wouldn’t be spared.
Between honor and life, Lin Qingfeng chose life.
After all, as the saying goes, as long as there’s life, there’s hope; he didn’t want to die on the battlefield.
Moreover, if Ye Fan killed him, he would forever lose the qualification to advance to the top eight and would be directly expelled from the competition; he believed Ye Fan wouldn’t do that!
“My god, Lin Qingfeng actually lost! He’s a seed player!”
There was an uproar outside the arena; this result was beyond most people’s expectations.
In their opinion, Lin Qingfeng, although a False Saint, should definitely not be underestimated. He wasn’t much weaker than the two True Saints; defeating Ye Fan should not be a problem.
Even the few who thought Ye Fan could defeat Lin Qingfeng didn’t foresee him winning with such overwhelming advantage.
“Unbelievable, that Ye family kid, without showing any signs, turns out to be a tough character. Not only did he cripple soone from the Qing Family and kill Qing Zi’s clan brother, the second genius of Qing Family, but he also defeated the group’s seed player, replacing him, truly a hidden talent!”
“That Ye family youngster is really not rational; Qing Zi has clearly shown intent to kill him, yet he is still so high-profile, advancing to the top eight. In case he ets Qing Zi in the top eight elimination round, what will he do then?”
“It’s unlikely, right? It’s not certain he’ll et Qing Zi right away in the elimination round; as long as he loses the first elimination match, it’s fine. Anyway, he has advanced to the top eight, entering the two academies to study is a sure thing.”
As the competition ended, people recovered from their shock, while marveling at Ye Fan’s hidden talent, also thought his actions were not rational.
“Ye Zi is mighty, Xuanwu Sect is mighty, Xuanwu State rises!”
As people discussed, Shen Tu excitedly shouted, feeling as if he himself had defeated Lin Qingfeng, advancing to the top eight.
“For the Xuanwu Sect to have a disciple like Ye Fan is truly a huge honor!” Xuanwu Sect’s Wang Qingshan and Shen Xin’s eyes were red, filled with emotion.
Tong Qianchen looked at Ye Fan with radiant eyes, with joy, excitent, and a touch of loneliness.
In his ear rang Shen Tu’s shout, those cultivators who once looked down on Xuanwu State now shad and wished they could find a crack to hide in.
“He can only stop at the top eight; those Saints and Princes are not ones he can defeat!”
Besides, so felt frustrated and shouted this.
“That’s right, he can’t advance to the top four, and if he ets Qing Zi in the final four, he’ll surely die!”
The person’s words received agreent from the majority.
In their view, Lin Qingfeng and the other seven seed players advancing to the top eight, there was still a gap in strength.
Ye Fan was able to defeat Lin Qingfeng sowhat cleverly——deliberately dropping the Thunder Emperor Spear to attract Lin Qingfeng’s attention, thus achieving the purpose of distracting Lin Qingfeng!
They don’t include the Supre Strongn from various forces!
With their vision, although they couldn’t see how strong Ye Fan truly was, they could tell Ye Fan hadn’t used all his strength.
Even, Tianxuan Saint and others didn’t think Ye Fan couldn’t advance.
On one hand, the pace and speed Ye Fan exhibited when defeating Lin Qingfeng were so fast that even they were shocked!
On the other hand, they, like those Supre Strongn, believed Ye Fan had yet to reveal his true Combat Power!
“The seed player also changed; it seems this competition will be extrely brutal, surpassing any previous instances!” So older strong people who had participated in the Southern Domain Genius Tournant felt emotional.
“This will be a golden age, various geniuses erging, humanity will usher in an era of unprecedented prosperity!” A white-haired elder stroked his beard and said.
“A grand era of sorrow!” An old man with a face full of wrinkles shook his head and said with emotion.
“Old man, your words are wrong; how can a grand era be sorrowful? It’s a auspicious sign for the rise and prosperity of our Human Race!” A young cultivator retorted.
“What do you young people know? Just wait, soon, you’ll understand what my words an!” The old man shook his head, not explaining further.
“This old geezer knows quite a lot!” Bai Yan wolf didn’t know when he woke up, shaking his big head and said.
“Can’t you say a bit more?” The young cultivator who asked the question persistently pursued.
“Young man, let tell you about the sorrow of a grand era!” Another elder with crane-like hair said solemnly.
“Old sir, please go on!”
As he spoke, many young people gathered around, wanting to know what this so-called golden era tragedy ant.
“In any era, having three to five peerless geniuses is already sufficient. Any more is a tragedy for that era…”
Through the old man’s explanation, the onlookers gradually understood why there was such a saying as the golden era tragedy.
It’s quite simple: In an era with only three to five peerless geniuses, even if there are clashes on the Emperor Road in the future, the impact won’t be too significant.
However—
When a golden era arrives, an era where peerless geniuses erge in large numbers, there will be epic battles on the Emperor Road, where countless peerless geniuses’ blood and bones create a path for one individual.
Such battles will shake the entire world, leaving no one untouched. One proves the Dao while millions of geniuses fall at their feet, becoming stepping stones on their path to the Godless Path. This is the tragedy of an era.
Nowadays, even in just the Southern Domain, so many geniuses have erged, not to ntion the Northern, Eastern, Western, and Central Domains.
If all these domains produce many peerless geniuses, the next decade will undoubtedly be a golden era, and naturally, it will also usher in the era’s tragedy!
…
As the round-robin tournant concluded, Ye Fan once again beca the hot topic of discussion, his notoriety even surpassing the two Saint Heirs and Qing Zi.
Soon after, the events involving Ye Fan at the Qi Shi Restaurant spread.
People then realized that Ye Fan, imbued with Wen Qi, was not only powerful in cultivation but also astonishingly accomplished in literature.
“This kid is simply a genius!”
After learning about the five poems Ye Fan composed, many people sighed like this.
Ye Fan himself did not care about all of this; however, he didn’t expect that it would enshroud him with an aura of mystery, making him seem profound and unfathomable.
So suspected that he had obtained the unmatched legendary scripture from the Ancient Tis, cultivating Wen Qi, but such speculation couldn’t withstand scrutiny.
Wen Qi and Holy Power are two completely different energies that cannot coexist in one person, and almost everyone knew that Ye Fan had inherited the legacy of the Thunder Venerable master, making it even more impossible for him to cultivate Wen Qi.
Nonetheless, many places like i wei Pavilion, Fengyue Pavilion, and Linglong Pavilion sent invitations and gifts, asking him to visit.
Ye Fan found himself in a predicant, politely declining each invitation and hiding away in the palace of the Treasure Pavilion, refusing to go out.
With the round-robin tournant over, the organizers decided to rest for three days, after which the elimination competition would comnce.
While people were busy discussing Ye Fan, Yaling released a piece of news.
The Treasure Pavilion’s Bao Shi Pavillion in the Holy City opened betting on who would ultimately win the Emperor title among the Four Kings and One Venerable, becoming the last one laughing.
Each of the top eight candidates had odds, and Qing Zi’s were the lowest since he had already stepped into the Divine Power Realm and was the most likely candidate to seize the Emperor title, enjoying the highest support.
Next ca the Ancient Saint and Tianxuan Saint, whose odds were just slightly higher than Qing Zi. They also had a good chance of making it to the end.
The fourth position was unexpected to everyone, not being the Saint Heir from Spirit Manor nor Treasure Pavilion’s own Saint Heir Jin Changgeng, nor even the Prince Jueluo, but Ye Fan!
Even the strongest heir of the Feng Family, whose gender was unknown and whose entire body was shrouded in an iron casing, was positioned below Ye Fan.
Ye Fan’s odds were just a hair higher than the two Saint Heirs, leaving everyone’s jaws dropped. No one expected the Treasure Pavilion to set such odds!
“You can’t bet on yourself, because you’re a contestant. Even if you bet, I won’t accept it!”
As soon as the news was released, Yaling imdiately found Ye Fan and said this.
Once bitten, twice shy. The last ti during the Xuanwu State competition, she lost a lot of Spirit Stones due to Ye Fan’s actions and had no desire to fall into the sa trap again.
“Why did you set my odds so low? Aren’t you inviting trouble for ?” Ye Fan smiled bitterly.
“If I weren’t worried about causing too much of a stir, I would have set your odds the lowest!” Yaling blinked her captivating eyes with a cheeky smile.
“Do you have that much faith in ?”
Ye Fan was speechless. If Yaling set his odds as the lowest, marking him as the top contender, he’d face fierce battles no matter who he faced next.
“Playing the fool to catch the Tiger, this isn’t your first ti!”
Yaling pouted, but her heart was full of anticipation—if Ye Fan could transcend Great Realms, defeat Qing Zi, and claim the crown, it would indeed shock the entire Tianxuan Continent!
