"It must be said, we've all underestimated you before.
You possess merely Dao Transformation Realm strength, yet boast such astonishing combat power. You are truly a monster talent rarely seen even in the Eastern Barrens.
More than the vast majority of people on this very arena stage, you are worthy of those two words: 'monster talent'."
Mo Qingxuan rose to his feet and began stepping towards Ye Yunfei.
Clad in blue robes, his gaze held an imperious pride, radiating an air of inherent, imposing authority even without anger.
With each step he took, a wisp of cloud and mist would form beneath his feet. Soon, his entire body was wreathed in swirling mist, as if he were an immortal standing atop the clouds, gazing down upon the mortal realm.
And as the clouds and mist gathered more and more, Mo Qingxuan's aura surged higher and higher, sharp and unstoppable!
"That's Cangyan Sacred Sect's Heaven-Cloud Art!
He didn't even go all out during his fight against Ximen Yijian earlier!"
Someone exclaimed.
"Let's begin."
Mo Qingxuan said indifferently.
*Clang! Clang!...*
Following his words, the cloud mist swirling around him suddenly transformed into numerous weapons—swords, spears, sabers, halberds, whips, and more. There were at least a dozen different types, numbering in the hundreds!
*Boom! Boom!...*
Weapon after weapon howled through the air, crashing towards Ye Yunfei.
Each and every one of these weapons was powerful enough to contend with a Destiny Realm expert!
"The Cangyan Sacred Sect's ultimate techniques are truly fearsome!"
The crowd cried out in shock.
Yet, Ye Yunfei paid it no mind. He simply extended a finger, and over a thousand spirit treasures simultaneously shot forth, activating at once and raining forward like a storm to block all of Mo Qingxuan's attack.
*Boom! Boom!*
A golden ring suddenly shot out from within Mo Qingxuan's body, swelling in the wind to become a gigantic, rapidly spinning wheel. It tore through the air, radiating vibrant streaks of light, and plummeted from the sky, ramming towards Ye Yunfei.
The entire space over the arena rumbled, a sound akin to rolling thunder.
"It's the Wind Cloud Wheel!
It's practically a perfect-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact.
It's said that among all Heavenly Dao Artifacts in the Eastern Barrens, this Wind Cloud Wheel is the most powerful.
It's hailed as the foremost treasure of the Heavenly Dao!"
Many recognized the origin of this massive wheel.
"I wonder how many punches it will take to trigger the Tenfold Demon Forbidden Fist."
Ye Yunfei murmured as he looked up at the golden wheel hurtling down from the sky.
*Boom...*
Ye Yunfei threw a punch, forty Jiao of brute strength empowering his fist, causing the space to tremble.
*Clang!*
Ye Yunfei's fist and the golden wheel collided violently, producing a deafening metallic clash that seemed to shake the very heavens and earth.
*Clang! Clang!...*
Following that, Ye Yunfei threw punch after punch, continuously clashing head-on with the giant wheel.
Ye Yunfei stood his ground, neither advancing nor retreating.
However, he also couldn't secure a victory.
"Hmph, I never imagined your physical strength would reach such a level!
But this is still insufficient. Let's see how many blows you can withstand!"
Mo Qingxuan snorted coldly.
This Wind Cloud Wheel was one of his hidden cards!
He never expected Ye Yunfei to withstand it this many times!
At that moment.
Ye Yunfei threw another punch.
*Rumble...*
A terrifying fist aura was suddenly born. Power gushed from his fist, at least ten times stronger than before, howling like a tempest, stampeding like ten thousand steeds, pressuring forward.
*Thump!*
An oceanic force sent the golden wheel flying back, hurtling high into the firmament.
*Bang!*
Ye Yunfei's fist continued forward, unstoppable, directly smashing Mo Qingxuan like a cannonball. In the blink of an eye, he was sent flying out of Lantai City, careening towards a distant mountain peak.
*Crash! Boom...*
Mo Qingxuan's body crashed into a mountain peak far away, creating a massive crater upon impact.
Impossible?
Mo Qingxuan, the number one rank of the Freak Minor Ranking, was just punched away in one move, his fate unknown?
Every single person present stood dumbstruck, unable to believe it.
A hushed silence had fallen upon the entire crowd.
The events of today were just too shocking.
From the moment Ye Yunfei stepped onto this arena, he had swept everything before him. Regardless of whether his opponents were weak or strong, and even the number one rank Mo Qingxuan, all were suppressed!
All eyes were fixed upon Ye Yunfei standing at the center of the arena.
"The number one rank on the Freak Minor Ranking: Su Fei!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly resonated from the arena platform.
Then, a mysterious yet powerful force pushed Ye Yunfei's body onto the cushion representing the first place rank, where he was compelled to sit.
"Are there no more challengers?"
The voice rang out again.
Many young martial artists in the square felt the urge to try, but after assessing themselves inwardly, they ultimately gave up.
If they truly had the confidence, they would have gone up long ago, not waiting until now.
"Since there are no further challengers, this session of the Lesser Lantai Gathering hereby concludes."
The voice once again echoed from the arena stage.
This session of the Lesser Lantai Gathering had finally ended!
*Boom...*
The tall stone stele standing at one corner of the platform suddenly began to radiate surging light.
Then, the crowd saw the three hundred names carved on the stele begin to change.
At the very top of the stele, the first-place position now displayed two large characters: Su Fei!
"To think that a youngster from Yan Country's Ziwei Sect actually seized the first place of this session's Lesser Lantai Gathering!"
"This is the most unexpectedly surprising Lesser Lantai Gathering in years!"
"And, in my opinion, also the most spectacular session!"
People in the square began to chatter animatedly.
"Everyone, guard the perimeter of the arena. The moment that little bastard leaves the platform, we immediately act, killing him on the spot!
We must let the world see the consequences of provoking our Zhao Family!"
At a corner of the square, that Zhao Family elder spoke in a low, furious voice as his wrathful eyes remained locked on Ye Yunfei atop the arena.
Immediately, a group of Zhao Family personnel dispersed, rapidly surrounding the arena platform.
On the arena.
"Su Fei, the first place winner, may receive the baptism of heaven and earth!"
The voice resonated once more.
*Rumble...*
Above the arena, a gap suddenly appeared, and a colossal pillar of energy light manifested, shining down upon Ye Yunfei's body.
*Boom...*
Ye Yunfei discovered vast amounts of pure energy beginning to continuously pour into his body.
"Worldly Fortune!
This is the reward for securing first place on the Freak Minor Ranking!"
"How enviable!"
The crowd exclaimed incessantly, expressing their envy.
"So it's the foundational energy of this world itself."
After sensing it for a moment, Ye Yunfei understood.
This energy was the purest foundational power of the Primal Chaos Continent, far denser and more precious than ordinary spiritual energy!
"In that case, I might as well use this foundational energy to break through a realm level."
Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
Ye Yunfei was still at the Dao Transformation Realm.
It was time for a breakthrough.
Thus, Ye Yunfei activated the Nine-Yang Scripture.
*Boom...*
The eight Chaos God Meridians within his body were also activated, surfacing like eight mighty rivers, surging and roaring torrentially.
This, in turn, greatly accelerated Ye Yunfei's absorption rate of the foundational energy!
"Let's head down."
At this moment, the other young monster talents on the arena all rose and began leaving the platform.
The Lesser Lantai Gathering had ended. There was no further need for them to remain upon the stage.
