Chapter 321: Chapter 318 Twin Prides"Not sure," Ye Xuan replied ambiguously. Indeed, he had not used his full strength, but he was under no obligation to tell the truth, and there was no need to inform the other party. "I understand," Long Feiying looked deeply at Ye Xuan. Even though the latter did not articulate it, he could already guess. As Long Feiying’s defeat unfolded, the crowd below had already heatedly begun to discuss. "Unexpectedly, having defeated Long Feiying, this Ye Xuan now has the strength to compete for the top three." "Yes, after five consecutive victories, unless he encounters Linglong and Demon Dragon Young Master, there probably isn’t anyone who can stop his victorious advance." In everyone’s eyes, Ye Xuan had transformed from a dark horse to an exceptional one, charging straight through and having made his way to the top ten. And it wasn’t over yet; he had just defeated five strong contenders. From this point, regardless of whom he defeated next, the aura surrounding Ye Xuan would only grow brighter. As for losing to Demon Dragon Young Master and Linglong, that was not something shameful. Even if one were to lose to these two but triumph over all others, securing third place was an honor not everyone could vie for. "How about it, do you feel threatened now?" Gong Ze looked over at Linglong, whose expression was solemn, and his own gaze became intense. Apart from Demon Dragon Young Master, this was the first time he had seen such an expression on Linglong’s face. "A bit, yes. I also have to thank Long Feiying for probing Ye Xuan’s strength threshold for me; otherwise, I might have been caught off guard." Linglong nodded. Based on what she had witnessed of Ye Xuan, his strength was enough to pose a threat to her. If she were unprepared and underestimated the enemy, she might indeed face the possibility of defeat. But Long Feiying’s all-out effort had helped her to gauge Ye Xuan’s level, and with this knowledge, she had a much clearer understanding. Ye Xuan was a formidable adversary, but the victor would still be her. "You’ve hidden your abilities quite deeply, even Long Feiying isn’t your match." Miss Yu Yi also looked at Ye Xuan with some surprise. Initially, she had thought that Ye Xuan was not as strong as her, but his performance in the previous battles had undoubtedly refreshed her perception, and now, Ye Xuan had even defeated Long Feiying, whom she considered a challenging opponent. Ye Xuan’s combat power seemed to be continuously climbing. Of course, this was just an illusion; it was merely the part of Ye Xuan’s hidden strength slowly revealing itself. "If I didn’t hold back, I’m afraid my abilities would have been seen through from the beginning, which would be disadvantageous for the later matches," Ye Xuan said with a faint smile. In such tournaments, the more tricks one withholds, the further one is likely to go. Revealing too much strength from the start makes it easy for others to find flaws and develop counter-strategies. At this time, Miss Yu Yi’s fifth fight also began, and her opponent was none other than Linglong. The battle had not even started yet but had already caused a significant stir. Miss Yu Yi and Linglong were both talented and beautiful young geniuses from Sky Demon Mountain, the former noble and aloof, the latter pure and elegant, each with their own grace. Both women undoubtedly possessed immense popularity, and thus their admirers were also shouting and cheering below the platform, their voices like waves. "Miss Yu Yi has improved a lot in strength comparing to before; she even defeated Gong Ze. I wonder if in this match, can she create another victory?" "Difficult. Linglong is a notch above Gong Ze. Although Miss Yu Yi’s strength has greatly increased, there is still a gap compared to Linglong." "Who wins and who loses, what does it matter? After all, they are both my goddesses. I just hope neither gets hurt. If I could gain their favor, I’d be willing to live ten years less." "You’re dreaming. The queue of people hoping for their favor stretches from here all the way outside Sky Demon Mountain. Stop daydreaming; there are very few who could be a match for them." "It’s just a thought. Anyway, quiet now, the match is starting." Amongst a cacophony of noise, everyone’s attention fell on the Battle Platform. The two women released their auras, and faintly, on one side appeared a giant white Sky Fox, and on the other, a multicolored giant bird, emanating a tremendous oppressive force that swiftly swept across the area. In this clash of auras, Miss Yu Yi was clearly at a slight disadvantage; after all, her bloodline couldn’t compare to her opponent’s. "Light Feather Strike!" Feeling the pressure Linglong was putting on her, Miss Yu Yi initiated the attack first, deploying her ultimate move by condensing her demonic power into a black feather that shot towards Linglong like lightning. Pop! The Light Feather burst apart three zhang away from Linglong, revealing a barrier of demonic power. "Sky Fox Ten Shadows!" Shattering Miss Yu Yi’s offensive, Linglong immediately moved, her figure turning into ten streaks flying towards Miss Yu Yi. Miss Yu Yi’s pretty face shifted slightly. A wing suddenly extended from her back, and as she began to whirl like a tornado, the pieces of Light Feather she shed formed into a fearsome whirlwind assault, enveloping the ten approaching figures. Of the ten figures, nine were shattered by the whirlwind of Light Feathers, leaving only one. This figure broke through the dense Light Feathers and struck out from the void, hitting Miss Yu Yi and sending her reeling back. After taking a blow, Yu Yi felt a surge of air and blood in her chest, unexpectedly the opponent’s movements were so incredibly fast. Not just the speed but also the attack were much stronger than any adversary she had faced before. The battle had only just begun, and she had already suffered a slight disadvantage. "Void Spirit Five Slashes!" Yu Yi dared not be negligent and hastily executed her ultimate move. Twisted Palm Blades, one after another, a total of four, roared towards Linglong. Linglong’s face changed, her hands moved together, and with a clasp through the air, an invisible force fluctuated, bursting forth from between her hands. Hisss... Caught within that distorted fluctuation, the four slashes slowed down, their exteriors showing fine distortions. "Shatter!" Linglong opened her mouth, and the four Palm Blades, as if trapped in quicksand, were all enveloped by a powerful force and in the next moment shattered to pieces. With a bang, the slashes broke apart, and at that moment, Yu Yi’s fifth slash was also unleashed, shooting towards Linglong with the speed of lightning. "Heavenly Annihilation Handprint, annihilate!" Linglong’s hands formed a seal, and the distorted fluctuation in front of her dissipated instantly. Next, an astonishing Hand Seal flew out, seizing the fifth Palm Blade. Crack! The Hand Seal fiercely crushed the Palm Blade to dust, and then a sharp light flashed in Linglong’s eyes as she controlled the gigantic Hand Seal to suddenly grab towards Yu Yi. With a slight frown on her pretty face, Yu Yi opened her wings and retreated backward while continuously striking with her palms, hitting the Hand Seal and weakening its power. Seeing this, Linglong’s mouth curled up in a smirk. She floated up into the air and dived towards Yu Yi, brewing her next offensive move. "Seems like a loss is inevitable." Observing the situation on the Battle Platform, Ye Xuan shook his head. The gap in strength between the two was somewhat obvious. If it had been an evenly matched fight, he might have been able to give some on-the-spot guidance and turn defeat into victory, but now, even if he said something to Yu Yi, it would probably be in vain. After all, such guidance could not determine the trend of the match. Bang! As Ye Xuan expected, after just managing to hold on for less than ten moves against Linglong, Yu Yi was struck in the abdomen and flung out of the Battle Platform, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. "Thank you for the match." Linglong bowed her fist towards Yu Yi and then stepped down from the Battle Platform. Yu Yi lost the fight and appeared somewhat dejected, but she had anticipated this outcome and wasn’t overly fixated on it. Ye Xuan handed several Gathering Yuan Pills to Yu Yi. For her, the priority was not to dwell on the recent defeat but to recover her internal energies as quickly as possible in preparation for the next fight. "Now you realize the shame. In the future, with more effort, it’s not impossible to win back." Seeing the expression on Yu Yi’s face, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but tease her. "You’re taunting me now, isn’t it a bit too early? Wait until you defeat her, then you can talk to me like that." Yu Yi sneered and then glared at Ye Xuan. Linglong’s strength was above everyone else’s; even if Yu Yi had failed, Ye Xuan had no right to mock her. In her view, Ye Xuan was likely to lose against Linglong as well, with defeat being the more probable outcome. "What if I win, how about we make a wager?" Ye Xuan still had a smile on his face, but then he shook his head, "Forget it, there’s nothing good to bet with you." "Bet what? I’ll take you up on it," Yu Yi’s beautiful eyes locked onto Ye Xuan, a strange light emanating from them, "How about this, if you lose to Linglong, from now on you must follow my directions without question. If I tell you to go east, you cannot go west. How about that?" "And if I win?" Ye Xuan became intrigued, and then deliberately let his gaze linger a bit longer on Yu Yi’s voluptuous figure. "What would you like?" Yu Yi’s pretty face flushed red under Ye Xuan’s intense gaze, soon feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, biting her silver teeth as she spoke. "What do I want to do? Naturally, it would be those things many men wish to do," Ye Xuan’s smile appeared somewhat sly and a bit suggestive, "What’s wrong, Miss Yu Yi, are you scared to bet now?" "I’m scared? What a joke. Let’s bet." Yu Yi inwardly cursed at Ye Xuan for being a lecher, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to concede before him, and she didn’t believe that Ye Xuan could win against Linglong. Let this lecherous fellow look forward to the fate of being commanded by her! And so, the bet was set, even Ye Xuan felt surprised. He had been joking, intending to tease Yu Yi, never expecting her to agree so readily. However, at such a critical junction, he couldn’t back out now, for doing so would imply he was admitting defeat, especially since he saw no need to retract. He was actually rather curious to see how Yu Yi, having agreed so swiftly, would handle the outcome when the time came. Ye Xuan’s mouth curved up. He was now looking forward to that scene with some anticipation...
