The appearance of the two War Gods pushed the atmosphere on site to its climax.
Long Wei made a brief explanation and then, taking advantage of the montum, announced the start of the finals.
But at this mont, a figure slowly floated over.
"Am I late?"
The person who arrived was none other than Ji Tianyu’s brother—Ji Tianye.
A slight embarrassnt surfaced on Long Wei’s face, as he thought, "The finals are about to start, and you say you’re not late?"
However, Long Wei couldn’t be bothered to argue with a child, so he nodded and said, "Take your place!"
Ye Haochuan clearly saw that the mont Ji Tianyu saw Ji Tianye, a trace of coldness entered his eyes. But this coldness was fleeting, quickly concealed by him.
"Even a waste like you ca?" Ji Tianye looked at Ji Tianyu with a disdainful expression and said, "Do you still have the face to stand on this Greenstone?"
"Whether I’m qualified or not, we’ll know after the match," Ji Tianyu replied with a calm smile.
"You really have no self-awareness!" Ji Tianye sneered and shook his head, turning to Long Wei and said, "This person is not qualified to stand with . If you refuse to drive him down, I won’t bother going up!"
Long Wei’s expression darkened, unwilling to bother with him. This guy was clearly spoiled too much, arrogant to the point of absurdity.
Seeing Long Wei ignoring him, Ji Tianye sneered and rose with his sword, hovering on the other side of the stage.
Seeing the two brothers acting like enemies, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He now could understand why Ji Tianyu had changed so much. Being looked down upon every day, even adults couldn’t endure it, let alone Ji Tianyu, who was just a child.
After this little episode, the long-anticipated finals of the Greenstone Society finally began.
This ti, the contest was conducted by challenge. If you want to challenge soone, just say it. The older participants will have their cultivation partially sealed to ensure fairness in the match.
"I’ll go first!" The first to speak was Zhu Wenjing, "I want to challenge Long Keyue!"
"What?" Everyone, including Ye Haochuan, was incredibly surprised.
Long Keyue was among the top in strength among the five geniuses. Since coming out from the White Court Origin Realm, her power had advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through from Core Formation Late Stage to Nascent Soul in just over a month.
In terms of cultivation speed, even Ye Xiao felt inferior.
Zhu Wenjing was only in the Core Formation Early Stage, and given her age wasn’t much different from Long Keyue, Long Keyue’s power couldn’t be sealed much. Zhu Wenjing had no chance of winning in this challenge.
Ah, it seems this girl has a deep obsession with Long Keyue!
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly inside.
He could vaguely guess that Zhu Wenjing’s challenge to Long Keyue was entirely to compete with her. Although she knew her abilities were still lacking, she wanted to try.
"Ah, the level of this year is still quite poor. Getting into the top five at nineteen with just Core Formation, is Xuann running out of successors?" On the other side of the stage, Ji Tianye spoke sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Long Yang, Fan Lei, and others changed. Yet, they had nothing to say in return.
Ji Tianye reached Core Formation at fifteen, compared to him, they really had no grounds to argue.
"Talent is indeed important, but character is even more important than talent..." Ye Haochuan suddenly snorted.
Ji Tianye snorted when he heard this, "I recognize you, you’re the one who took that waste’s legacy, Ye Haochuan."
"To be rembered by the great genius Ji is truly my honor!" Ye Haochuan said with a smile full of aning.
Ji Tianye seed not to hear the sarcasm in Ye Haochuan’s words and laughed, "I’ll defeat you later, and it would be revenge for that waste!"
"If you really want to do sothing so foolish, I’m always ready!" Ye Haochuan sneered without bothering with him anymore.
On the field, Long Keyue slightly furrowed her brows and softly said, "Why the need for this?"
"All along, you’ve been my idol and goal. But this ti, I want to win against you!" Zhu Wenjing said with a blank expression.
Long Keyue glanced at Ye Haochuan, her eyes full of gentle anger.
This guy, always causing trouble, getting entangled with emotions everywhere!
"Co on, please don’t hold back!" Zhu Wenjing softly shouted, the Ruyi Soul Devouring Whip making a loud crack in the air, then circling like a poised venomous snake.
Long Keyue also brought out her longsword, knowing that any more words would be disrespectful to her opponent.
However, she did not bring out the Dragon Frost Sword, but instead a ordinary Treasure-Level Early Stage longsword, and she deliberately suppressed her cultivation to the Core Formation Early Stage.
"Kiss of the Snake!"
Zhu Wenjing launched the attack first, with the Ruyi Soul Devouring Whip transforming into a terrifying snake, attacking Long Keyue with a chilling aura.
Long Keyue was not an inexperienced flower, easily frightened by such onslaughts. Swinging her sword with grace, her delicate body moved with srizing elegance, captivating everyone who watched.
The Ruyi Soul Devouring Whip was as fast as lightning, yet each ti it was accurately struck by the seemingly gentle and slow longsword, nullifying its deadly potential.
Zhu Wenjing’s brows knitted slightly, and her right hand suddenly halted the lash.
"Fatal Entanglent!"
The Ruyi Soul Devouring Whip halted its attack and quickly wrapped around Long Keyue.
Just as it seed Long Keyue would be ensnared, she pointed her longsword diagonally, her body delicately bending, and suddenly a Phoenix Cry emanated from the sword.
In the next mont, a golden phoenix phantom rapidly erged, expanding to break the whip’s hold. Fine cracks appeared on the whip’s surface.
With two exchanges of attack and defense, victory was clearly decided.
"You win, I concede graceful in defeat!" Zhu Wenjing managed a smile, then abruptly leaped and flew away.
"Wenjing!" Ye Haochuan felt a jolt in his heart, wanting to call her back.
But Zhu Wenjing didn’t look back, disappearing into the horizon.
The next mont, a purple gauze robe slowly drifted down from the sky.
Ye Haochuan gently caught the robe, feeling a sharp pain at heart, quickly going after her. But in the mont’s hesitation, Zhu Wenjing’s figure had vanished without a trace. He searched for a long ti, yet still found no sign of Zhu Wenjing.
Just then, Zhu Chengzhou suddenly called.
"What’s the matter with you? Why did Wenjing say she wants to co back?" As soon as the call connected, Zhu Chengzhou questioned angrily.
After hearing this, Ye Haochuan felt relieved and said, "I don’t know how to explain this. It’s good for her to return to the Secular World, to calm down."
Zhu Chengzhou seed to have guessed sothing, and didn’t press further, ending the call.
"Ah, this silly girl, holding things in her heart but refusing to speak up, not listening to explanations, such trouble!"
Ye Haochuan smiled bitterly, then put the Misty Purple Robe back into his ring.
