Of course I do.
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Having been a Heavenly Emperor in a past life, Ye Yunfei's breadth of knowledge and experience was something Dugu Huan could not even begin to compare with.
Among the cultivation manuals and martial techniques he had amassed was a profound blade art known as the Thousand Absolute Blade.
Ye Yunfei had acquired it from a high-ranking elder of a super sect.
That super sect was called the Saber-Worship Sect, an ancient, formidable force that shook the world with its blade techniques.
Ye Yunfei had made a wager with one of the Saber-Worship Sect's elders. Both put forward a profound technique as their stake, and the elder lost.
Thus, Ye Yunfei obtained this Thousand Absolute Blade technique.
However, Ye Yunfei had always preferred sword techniques, so he had never cultivated this Thousand Absolute Blade.
Ye Yunfei, I will acknowledge you as my master. Starting now, I will follow you.
Please, impart the Thousand Absolute Blade to me!
After a moment of silence, Dugu Huan suddenly knelt before Ye Yunfei and spoke aloud.
What's happening?
The two of them haven't even started fighting, yet Dugu Huan suddenly kneels!
This scene thoroughly shocked everyone watching.
Oh?
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be taken aback.
The Thousand Absolute Blade... it suits me too perfectly.
If I miss this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Ye Yunfei, I, Dugu Huan, swear that from now on, I will follow you forever, and I will never go back on my word!
Dugu Huan's attitude was resolute as he remained kneeling.
You're sure?
Ye Yunfei examined Dugu Huan and asked faintly.
This Dugu Huan was a rare talent in the path of the blade. If he walked the right path, he would undoubtedly become a master blade practitioner one day.
Having such a master of the blade willing to follow him would naturally be a good thing for Ye Yunfei.
I am certain!
Dugu Huan nodded firmly.
Alright.
I can impart the Thousand Absolute Blade to you.
Get up.
Also, no need to call me master.
Ye Yunfei said.
Yes!
Dugu Huan, filled with immense excitement, immediately stood up.
I concede this match!
Dugu Huan declared loudly.
Go on down.
Ye Yunfei jumped off the arena platform.
In truth, even if Dugu Huan fought Ye Yunfei, he would undoubtedly be defeated.
At this moment, the matches on the other four arenas had concluded on three of them.
Feng Yun'ao and Qin An had both defeated their opponents with ease.
Only on arena number five was the battle still raging fiercely and evenly.
On arena five, Xiao Hui had encountered Wen Zi!
Both were beautiful young women.
Moreover, both possessed incredibly formidable fighting strength.
On Xiao Hui's graceful form, the faint silhouette of a True Phoenix shimmered into view. The spiritual power within her surged forth, vast and seemingly limitless, growing mightier the longer she fought.
Wen Zi unleashed her Taiyi Tiangang Essence during the fight, her combat power equally astonishing.
On the arena, the two exchanged blows, their battle cries ringing out, the fight intensely lively.
The duel between these two beauties captivated the gazes of the vast majority of the male students in attendance.
Rounds of cheering, shouts of encouragement, and gasps of admiration erupted constantly, the noise shaking the heavens and soaring through the clouds.
The spectacle was thrilling to the extreme!
Even the academy's higher-ups watched intently, shaking their heads in amazement.
With their current levels of strength, it's likely difficult to determine a winner between them.
Ye Yunfei watched for a moment and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
As expected, before anyone realized it, the two had already exchanged over a hundred moves!
Both were covered in a sweet-smelling sheen of sweat.
But what was truly speechless-inducing was that these two beauties seemed to grow more spirited the longer they fought, their fierce clash causing the entire arena to shake precariously, nearly falling apart.
Enough!
Yuan Xiaohui, Wen Zi, please stop!
I declare this match a draw!
Both of you are considered the victors for this bout!
Cease immediately!
Suddenly, Dean Shangguan stood up and spoke in a clear, loud voice.
Right, right, make them stop.
Both are rare, precious geniuses. Any harm coming to either would be a tremendous loss for our academy!
Dean Zhou also spoke nervously.
Both Deans had developed a protective appreciation for Yuan Xiaohui and Wen Zi's talents.
So boring!
We were just getting into it and they tell us to stop.
Sister, come, let's keep going. Let's fight to our heart's content!
Wen Zi pouted, seemingly dissatisfied.
Forget it, little sister, we should listen to Dean Shangguan and stop.
Seeing Wen Zi's fervor for battle, Yuan Xiaohui was rather speechless as she spoke.
Fine.
So boring.
No more fighting!
Wen Zi stomped off the arena, seeming quite displeased.
Next, the matches continued.
For this round, each participant had three opportunities to compete.
For his second match, Ye Yunfei's opponent was at the Late Stage True Manifestation Realm.
Ye Yunfei casually lifted a palm and released a blast of air pressure that sent the opponent flying.
The fight ended in less than a second.
What left Ye Yunfei speechless was that for his third match, he ended up paired with Wen Zi!
It's you!
Ye Yunfei!
I've been watching you for a while now!
You have the qualifications to be my opponent!
Wen Zi's eyes practically sparkled the moment she saw Ye Yunfei.
Her expression was one of eager anticipation.
Earlier, her fight with Yuan Xiaohui had felt unsatisfying. Now, encountering Ye Yunfei, she felt she could finally have a good, tough fight.
Ye Yunfei, you've been quite the talk of the town lately, becoming a prominent figure among us new students!
After I defeat you, all your honors will become mine!
Hehe, then this granny can walk sideways with her head held high.
All the fame and glory will be mine.
So awesome!
Hurry, come and give this granny a good fight!
Wen Zi was extremely excited, seemingly already envisioning the glorious prospects after defeating Ye Yunfei.
You're that sure you can beat me?
Ye Yunfei chuckled and asked.
Tsk, what you're good at is just physical strength.
When it comes to pure force, I'm no weaker than you.
So, I'm confident I can defeat you.
Hey, why so many words?
Are you scared of me?
Fight already.
Wen Zi urged.
And then.
Before Ye Yunfei could even make a move, she couldn't help herself and attacked first.
Boom!
She swung a delicate pink fist, punching straight towards Ye Yunfei.
A burst of golden mist immediately surged from her fist, enveloping it.
Instantly, a terrifying wave of energy pressure spread out, pressing down towards Ye Yunfei.
It caused Ye Yunfei's clothes to whip violently in the wind, fluttering loudly.
The Taiyi Tiangang Essence truly lives up to its reputation.
Ye Yunfei sensed the pressure emanating from that golden mist and nodded slightly.
Ye Yunfei knew that although Wen Zi had fused this Taiyi Tiangang Essence into her body, she still didn't know how to wield it properly.
Otherwise, her combat power would increase at least tenfold!
Whoosh!
Facing Wen Zi's attack, Ye Yunfei moved. With a slight shift of his body, he evaded it effortlessly.
This Wen Zi, with her mischievous, innocent personality, was like a blank sheet of paper.
Ye Yunfei harbored a certain amount of goodwill towards her.
So, he didn't plan to take action against her.
One had to know, the various martial techniques Ye Yunfei cultivated, once unleashed, could easily wound others.
