Best Young Master

Chapter 897: Chapter 789 Sudden Enlightenment! (Make-up 1)

The king among Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beasts, the Golden Lion, fell under Ye Fan’s "Domineering Fist" after an hour-long struggle.

One punch to kill!

Its head exploded, and the massive golden body of the Golden Lion crashed to the ground, twitching slightly before falling silent.

After extracting the Golden Lion’s beast core, Ye Fan moved instantly, disappearing from the spot, heading deeper into the Holy Land.

Having slain an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast, Ye Fan’s points soared rapidly, placing him in the top ten at ninth place in the blink of an eye.

Outside the Holy Land, everyone, from the strong fighters of the War God Alliance led by Yan and the six Supreme Strongmen to the cultivators who came to watch the Hidden God List tournament, were all keeping a close eye on the changes in the Investiture of the Gods.

Ye Fan’s points skyrocketed by a thousand in an instant, which naturally drew everyone’s attention.

"The Evil Emperor’s disciple finally entered the top ten!"

"His points suddenly surged by a thousand; he must have killed an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast!"

"That’s not surprising at all. The disciple of the Evil Emperor of Huaxia has entered the Early-Stage War God Realm in both magic and martial arts. Generally, an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast is no match for him, not to mention his physical strength is so formidable that even Xu Wudao couldn’t defeat him."

"That’s right! Doug entered the Holy Land earlier than the Evil Emperor’s disciple and has just slain an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast!"

Seeing Ye Fan’s rank make it into the top ten sparked a wave of discussion. Those cultivators who had previously believed Ye Fan hadn’t encountered an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast felt vindicated and smug, while those who thought Ye Fan was trying to manipulate the rules to save his own neck wisely kept silent.

As for Ye Fan’s capability to slay an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast, no one discussed it.

After all, before the tournament, Ye Fan had displayed overwhelming strength by smacking Zorro’s servant’s head with a single blow and had even physically defeated Xu Wudao!

"The rankings have changed again!"

"The Evil Emperor’s disciple has been squeezed out!"

Amidst the crowd’s speculation about why Ye Fan had just killed his first Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast now, two veteran strongmen also slew an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast each. Their points quickly soared past a thousand, and combined with the numerous Level 8 and 9 Mutant Beasts they had previously killed, they directly pushed Ye Fan out of the top ten.

The performance of these two veteran strongmen didn’t surprise the crowd.

After all, the veteran competitors participating in this Hidden God List tournament were all quite powerful, some even being absolute rulers at the Early-Stage War God Level, with practical experience far surpassing the younger generation, fully capable of slaying Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beasts.

"Heh, that Ye Family brat probably made it too obvious on purpose, so he intentionally killed an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast to avoid making it look like he’s intentionally staying behind, right?"

Seeing Ye Fan being surpassed by two veteran competitors, Jiang Yurong sneered nastily.

Jiang Yurong venomously commented on the influence of Ye Fan, who was about to be overtaken and pushed out of the top ten, fearing that Ye Fan would exploit the rules and skip the finals.

Hearing Jiang Yurong’s words, the strong fighters of the War God Alliance had mixed thoughts. Some believed that Ye Fan encountered an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast too late, while others, like Jiang Yurong, thought Ye Fan was using the rules to save his own skin.

Upon hearing this, Yan furrowed his brows. He absolutely did not believe that Ye Fan was intentionally avoiding the top ten to prevent Xu Wudao and the six others from hunting him. On the contrary, he thought Ye Fan would do everything possible to sweep the six, vindicate his master, and stand up for all young cultivators—even without being the heir of an ancient power, lacking resources, he is no worse than them!

Yet, at the same time, he couldn’t understand why Ye Fan was doing this and could only watch the situation unfold.

"Look, Bodhi Wuyin’s disciple is on the list too; she’s also slain an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast!"

"Bodhi Wuyin is one of the top experts of the present age; naturally, her disciple wouldn’t be far off, so making it into the top ten is expected."

Just then, the Investiture of the Gods lists changed again, with Su Liuli making a strong appearance, forcefully entering the top ten and surpassing one of the veteran competitors.

Seeing Su Liuli so powerfully, the crowd quickly shifted their attention to her.

All this, Su Liuli was unaware of; at that moment, she was meditating in a mountain stream at the edge of the Holy Land.

Not far in front of her was the corpse of a black giant lizard, measuring about two zhang long, lying belly-up with a one-foot-long incision in its stomach where the beast core had vanished.

Su Liuli’s white robe was stained with blood red, splashed by the giant lizard’s blood.

Despite having killed the black giant lizard, this battle was the most grueling fight Su Liuli had ever faced since her debut.

The black giant lizard was covered in a black horny layer, akin to an ancient warrior armored in battle gear, making casual attacks ineffective. Only the "Bodhi Skill" could pose a threat to it.

After a lengthy battle, Su Liuli finally executed the killing move "Bodhi Tree" to slay the troublesome black giant lizard, but not without significant energy consumption herself.

After slaying the black giant lizard, Su Liuli didn’t rush further into the Holy Land. Instead, she sat in the mountain stream to absorb the primordial qi from the beast core, quickly replenishing her depleted gang qi; otherwise, it would be troublesome if she encountered another Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast.

Half an hour later, Su Liuli had absorbed the energy from the beast core, restoring her gang qi almost fully. She suddenly stood up, her mind moving as she used her mental perception to check the top ten rankings.

Since she hadn’t slain an Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beast before, she hadn’t checked the top ten rankings.

This is a unique rule within the Holy Land!

All participants must inscribe a piece of their thoughts on the Investiture of the Gods.

This allows one’s ranking and points to be displayed on the Investiture of the Gods, as well as using mental perception to check the top ten rankings.

"Huh?"

Upon looking at the top ten names on the Investiture of the Gods, Su Liuli was stunned!

Because Ye Fan’s name wasn’t there!

And in her opinion, given Ye Fan’s strength, he should definitely be in the top three, if not the first!

"What’s going on?"

Su Liuli pondered for a moment, then thought of how Ye Fan had once honed himself while advancing through the Holy Land in the Australia Continent, and had a sudden realization: Could he be using this opportunity to temper himself?

"He must be; his ’Domineering Fist’ still hasn’t reached Great Perfection at the First Level, so he’s probably seizing this chance to train. The ranking tournament lasts three days; with his strength, launching an all-out assault in the last half day would be more than enough."

Feeling the solution emerging, Su Liuli found this quite possible, and couldn’t help but clench her fists, saying, "I need to slay more mutant beasts to enter the top ten! I must make it into the top ten! I want to fight alongside him!"

With that, Su Liuli resolutely shot deeper into the Holy Land.

...

Ye Fan did not know nor did he consider using Early-Stage War God Level mutant beasts as a grindstone to temper and test his physical strength and the plan for cultivating the Domineering Fist would lead to misunderstandings from outsiders, even Yan did not guess what his intention was.

At this moment, Ye Fan had already reached the depths of the Holy Land, where the Heaven and Earth primordial qi was visibly denser, as if smoke and fog.

Around him, ancient trees towered to the sky, casting dense shadows that blocked the sun, with slender beams of light shining through the gaps between the leaves, appearing particularly colorful.

A whiff of wilderness rushed to him, giving people a feeling of returning to the distant Primordial Era.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Ye Fan sensed a presence, coming from up ahead—there was an Early-Stage War God Level mutant beast ahead, but compared to the previous Golden Lion, the aura was much weaker.

"Come out!"

Ye Fan squinted his eyes looking at a stone three meters high, his eyes were restrained with a sharp glow, as if he could see through that stone.

"Whinny..."

A horse’s neighing was heard, and a black-and-white striped zebra darted out from behind the stone, dashing straight toward Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was slightly taken aback, he did not expect that the mutant beast with Early-Stage War God Level strength would actually be a zebra!

"Human, die!"

As Ye Fan was momentarily stunned, the black-and-white striped zebra, rushed in, leaping high, its pair of small basin-sized hooves fiercely stomping toward Ye Fan’s head.

Ma Ta Feiyan!

The zebra not only initiated the attack first but also landed a heavy strike, intending to kill Ye Fan in one blow!

"Hoo!"

Ye Fan’s expression remained unchanged, he punched out, hitting the zebra’s hoof, the violent force erupted like a volcano, surging out explosively!

Bang—

A muffled sound, Ye Fan retreated a step, and the zebra was also shaken back more than a yard, its eyes filled with shock!

Its hoof was the hardest place, yet when it collided head-on with Ye Fan’s fist, it did not hold the advantage, causing a sense of danger to rise within its heart.

"Although the zebra’s strength does not match the Golden Lion’s, it is still barely suitable as a target, I can use it to further comprehend the Domineering Fist, striving to grasp the First Level Blood Gang to Great Perfection!"

Ye Fan thought thoughtfully, then began to mobilize the Gang Qi and blood qi in his body, the powerful aura radiating from his body as a center, spreading outwards.

"Whinny..."

The zebra suddenly sensed Ye Fan’s aura strengthening, shivering all over, letting out a terrified scream.

"Blood Gang requires the perfect integration of internal Gang Qi and blood qi, concentrated to explode at one point."

Ignoring the zebra’s fear, Ye Fan thought to himself: "Because of cultivating Qi Rushes to the Sky, I have already done well in concentrating the explosion at one point, now the only flaw is the inability to perfectly integrate blood qi and Gang Qi."

Immediately deciding upon action, Ye Fan swiftly followed the method of the First Level ’Blood Gang’ of the Domineering Fist, operating internal Gang Qi and blood qi, allowing them to merge and surge into his right fist.

"Whinny..." noveldrama

As if sensing Ye Fan was about to make a move, the zebra screamed in fright, turning around to flee.

"Hoo!"

Immediately, Ye Fan’s body flashed, swiftly flitting to the zebra’s front, punching out!

In its panic, the zebra was unable to dodge, only to raise its rear hoof, kicking toward Ye Fan.

Bang!

A loud sound, Ye Fan’s right fist slammed into the zebra’s right rear hoof, Gang Qi and blood qi fused together, instantly erupting.

Fearing he might kill the zebra with one punch, Ye Fan deliberately controlled the Gang Qi and physical strength in this punch.

Nonetheless—

Even so, the zebra’s Protective Aura was directly shattered, its rear hoof split, blood spurted, and its body flew out, slamming into the large tree ahead, the tree unable to withstand this force, breaking with a sound, scattering a cloud of dust.

"Hu... Human, you’re strong, I am no match for you, please spare my life!"

Pain surged from the right hoof, and the breath of death filled the zebra’s heart, it laboriously crawled up from the ground, transmitting its thoughts to beg Ye Fan for mercy.

"Still unable to perfectly integrate, unable to exert the strongest power."

Ye Fan ignored the zebra’s plea for mercy, pondering to himself, then as the zebra seized the chance to flee, he chased after it again.

In the ensuing hour, the zebra, which required Doug and Su Liuli’s utmost effort to battle against, became a living target, serving as Ye Fan’s experimentation for cultivating the Domineering Fist, before it died, its skin was split open, and its sinews and bones were broken, leaving not a single intact spot on its body.

"Puff—"

Another punch, the zebra’s body exploded completely, blood mist permeated, dying on the spot.

"Blood Gang, blood qi is the basis of the body, only with blood qi can there be Gang Qi... so that’s how it is!"

Ye Fan maintained the punching posture, a flash of insight crossed his mind, faintly capturing something.

It can be confirmed, once he comprehends thoroughly, he will grasp the First Move ’Blood Gang’ of the Domineering Fist to Great Perfection!
