"By the looks of it, he'll break through to the late stage of the Minor Mystic Pill Realm soon. Truly worthy of being one of our Houtu Sect's most outstanding talents!"
The Sect Leader looked at Xiao Liang on the arena and couldn't help but nod.
The other high-ranking members also nodded in praise.
"Big Brother, kill him!"
Seeing Xiao Liang's imposing presence on the arena, Xiao Wu shouted excitedly.
"Su Ye, you dared provoke me, and now you're about to be slaughtered on this arena by my big brother! Do you regret it yet?! Remember in your next life that some people are not to be trifled with!"
Xiao Wu turned to Ye Yunfei, sneering maliciously.
"How tedious."
Ye Yunfei shook his head.
"Hmph! Truly you won't admit defeat until you see the coffin!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei's attitude, Xiao Liang flew into a rage.
He ceased wasting words.
"Earth Deity Fist!"
Xiao Liang roared.
Boom!
The ground beside the arena suddenly cracked open. A fist formed of mud and stone, large enough to cover an entire acre, surged out and hammered directly towards Ye Yunfei.
The fist, condensed from earth and rock, felt heavy and vast, carrying astonishing earth attribute energy as it rumbled forward.
"Truly worthy of being the third-ranked expert on the Genius Ranking List!"
Upon seeing this fist, many disciples in the square exclaimed in awe.
"The artistic conception of this fist is natural and complete, solid and powerful. Well done."
The high-ranking members also nodded in approval one after another.
Ye Yunfei, with his hands clasped behind his back, lightly stamped his foot.
Boom!
Immediately, the ground in an area beside the arena cracked, and another fist condensed from mud and stone surged out.
However, the fist manifested by Ye Yunfei was three to four times larger in volume than Xiao Liang's.
Rumble…
The earthen fist unleashed by Ye Yunfei whistled forward, directly smashing Xiao Liang's incoming fist into explosion.
Two days ago, Da Di Daozhang had already taught Ye Yunfei many of the Houtu Sect's martial arts and techniques. With Ye Yunfei's eye for the martial path, he naturally mastered whatever he learned immediately and achieved excellence immediately upon mastering it!
"How is this possible?!"
Xiao Liang was both shocked and furious.
"Su Ye has actually cultivated the Earth Deity Fist to such a level?!"
Everyone in the square, including the high-ranking members, stared at the gigantic earthen fist before Ye Yunfei, utterly astounded.
"Su Ye, I admit, I underestimated you."
Xiao Liang's gaze fixed firmly on Ye Yunfei as he spoke slowly.
From this single move, he knew Ye Yunfei's combat prowess was far stronger than he had imagined. Thus, his gaze towards Ye Yunfei grew grave, no longer as dismissive as before.
"However, this is still far from enough. Defeating you is as easy as turning over my hand."
Xiao Liang spoke, pausing between each word.
As his words fell.
"Dragon Summoning Art!"
Xiao Liang bellowed.
Boom! Boom!
Immediately, streams of yellow earth energy surged from the ground surrounding the arena.
Then, this earth energy began to coalesce.
Next, five yellow long dragons appeared before the crowd's eyes.
Each stretched over a hundred meters long, coiling and swimming around Xiao Liang's body, making him appear exceptionally heroic.
With the appearance of these five long dragons, the entire arena and the space around it began to fill with a powerful energy pressure.
Rolling energy hurricanes crushed towards Ye Yunfei, causing his robes to flap violently.
"Xiao Liang can actually condense five Earth Dragons!"
At this moment, waves of exclamations arose from the crowd around the arena.
Even the high-ranking members of the Houtu Sect were utterly astonished.
It had to be known that even if the Sect Leader himself executed this Dragon Summoning Art, at most he could condense nine. Some of the relatively weaker high-ranking members could only condense five or six Earth Dragons at best. In other words, Xiao Liang's mastery of the Dragon Summoning Art had already caught up to some of the sect's elders!
"Senior Brother Xiao is simply too powerful!"
Countless disciples cried out loudly.
"Hmph! It seems that after his defeat in competing for the Holy Son position back then, Xiao Liang has been cultivating bitterly in secret all along. His current combat prowess is now completely on par with mine."
Ouyang Feng stared at Xiao Liang, his gaze shifting uncertainly.
"Su Ye, now let's see how you fight me!"
Xiao Liang stared at Ye Yunfei and said calmly, exuding the demeanor of a victor. Hearing the waves of gasps of admiration around him felt immensely satisfying!
"Hahaha… Su Ye, just wait to be blasted to smithereens by my big brother!"
Xiao Wu laughed maniacally, feeling utterly thrilled.
"Such paltry tricks."
Ye Yunfei swept his eyes over the five yellow dragons swimming in the space around Xiao Liang and shook his head contemptuously.
"Su Ye, this move is our Houtu Sect's supreme sect-protecting skill, the Dragon Summoning Art! You dare call it a paltry trick?! Do you look down on our Houtu Sect?! Hmph, you don't even know the Dragon Summoning Art, yet you dare act as the Holy Son of our Houtu Sect? What a joke that turns the whole world into a comedy!"
Xiao Liang sneered coldly.
"Xiao Liang is right! Su Ye doesn't even know the Dragon Summoning Art. He is unfit to be our Houtu Sect's Holy Son!"
"The Dragon Summoning Art is our sect's supreme skill. How dare he call it a paltry trick!"
Following Xiao Liang's words, the disciples around the arena immediately began discussing heatedly.
"Haha! Well said, Xiao Liang! Sect Leader, I think Su Ye is not qualified to be the Holy Son."
Tao Wenzhi laughed loudly.
The Sect Leader's expression turned extremely ugly.
"Su Ye, today I shall use our Houtu Sect's supreme sect-protecting skill, the Dragon Summoning Art, to defeat a so-called Holy Son like you!"
Xiao Liang roared.
Then, he executed his art.
Rumble…
The five yellow dragons, each over a hundred meters long, fiercely pounced towards Ye Yunfei, stirring up waves of energy hurricanes.
For a moment, sand and stones flew, and wind and clouds changed color upon the arena.
"Who told you I don't know the Dragon Summoning Art? Very well, let me show you what the true Dragon Summoning Art is."
At this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke softly.
As his words fell.
Rumble…
Everyone felt the entire earth begin to shake violently.
It was as if a great earthquake had occurred.
"Look! What is that?!"
Suddenly, someone pointed beneath Ye Yunfei and screamed.
Everyone looked over and witnessed a stunning scene!
They saw an enormous head, large beyond compare, appear beneath Ye Yunfei's feet, slowly rising from beneath the ground.
It was a dragon's head!
Dragon horns, dragon mouth, and dragon whiskers continuously came into view before the crowd.
The volume of this dragon head was as large as a mountain peak.
Rumble…
The enormous head ascended, and then everyone saw the massive dragon body slowly rising from beneath the ground.
In the end, a gigantic yellow dragon soared into the air.
This giant dragon was several thousand meters long!
Its colossal dragon body resembled rolling mountain ranges, coiling in mid-air, delivering a powerful visual impact and terrifyingly boundless pressure.
At this moment, silence reigned throughout the entire Houtu Sect, so quiet a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the dragon hovering in mid-air.
And at this moment, Ye Yunfei stood upon the dragon's head, between its horns, with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down upon all living beings!
