Realms In The Firmament

If the young men who were fighting each other for a chance to beat Ye Xiao knew that the man they eagerly wanted to fight was one of the legendary godlike slayers who horribly killed a lot, what would they feel?

Most importantly, even though Ye Xiao was not as powerful as Xiao Monarch, he was already quite good. He appeared as a level five or six Spirit Origin Stage cultivator, but that was a disguise. In front of the young men who were in the same generation as him, he could be utterly arrogant and indifferent. Even if all the young men went up together to fight him, they would only end up in failure!

Not to mention Han Bingxue, Ye Xiao himself was also surprised and confused. [Why are they all so eager to get themselves beaten up on the stage? Do they think they’re all invincible?]

When Ye Xiao was fighting for the position of the prime disciple in Cold Moon Palace, he was still weak, but now, he was different. When he fought on the stage in Cold Moon Palace, he was totally beaten down at the beginning. However, he eventually took control of everything after gathering energy bit by bit. Now, he was much more powerful than the potential opponents. There was no point for him to have a competition!

As he thought deeper, it reminded him of the time when he planned on teasing Ye Shuxin and his men. When he actually fought those men, he felt bored. So he changed his mind at the moment and made up his mind!

The result was the same, but he could do it the same way as he did to Ye Shuxin now…

He stood on the stage and looked at those men fighting each other down the stage, such a bunch of young lords in chaos. He wanted to say, ’Stop it! Why don’t you all come together! I will save lots of my time!’

However, he couldn’t say it out frankly because they wouldn’t do it. It would take a longer time for a decision.

After a while, they still couldn’t decide who would fight Ye Xiao first. Ye Xiao impatiently said, ”What are you fighting for? Don’t you hear the rules? Who the hell picked the second draw? Get your ass up here! The draw of second in your hand makes you a real d*ckhead!” [1]

It pissed everybody off.

It was Li Clan that had picked the second. A young man rushed up in a fury, ”I am…”

”You are what?”

Ye Xiao didn’t let him finish talking but just smacked him on the face.

- Pah! -

The eldest young lord of Li Clan didn’t even have time to stand firm on the stage or to tell everybody his name before he was hit away spinning in the air like a gyroscope. His face was twisted by the smack.

He flew out like he was lifted up by the clouds. When he hit the floor, although he tried to push with his feet to stand up, he just couldn’t. - Puff!- He sat on the floor and realized that he was back in the seat that he took from the beginning.

What happened scared everybody.

That smack was not only full of power but also incredibly accurate!

Li Clan people were furious. ”Our man wasn’t ready for that yet! That was a sneak attack! It can’t count!”

Ye Xiao didn’t care. He smiled and said, ”No problem. I am a nice guy. It doesn’t count then. Tell him to come up again. I will wait till he is completely ready before I start.”

As he smiled, he half closed his eyes. The cold lights of murdering qi were shining in both of his eyes.

Li Clan people didn’t answer.

Was that a sneak attack?

Obviously not!

The stage was strict. There was no mercy. Whoever stepped on the stage, they could be considered as ready. The fight began. Li Clan’s young man had stepped on the stage but was slapped away by Ye Xiao at the first second. It was clearly Ye Xiao’s victory!

Ye Xiao had restrained the power when he smacked that man. If he wanted to kill, he only needed to add ten percent of his full power to crack the man’s skull. Some men with sharp eyes had known it. If the Li Clan young man was stupid to go up there again, he would definitely become a corpse!

They were in two completely different leagues! What was the point of the fight?

The young man was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, an ant trying to shake a tree. He would only get himself killed on the stage.

After a while, the young man of Li Clan who got smacked down the stage still sat in his seat. Ye Xiao shouted, ”Yo, boy! Are you coming up or not? At least say something! I am waiting to get a lotus here…”

Li Clan people stayed silent for a while and eventually couldn’t let their man get killed. They announced awkwardly, ”We have lost this one.”

The judges announced, ”Ye Clan wins a plant of Regeneration Ink Lotus!”

Ye Lianchen excitedly walked over to get a lotus from the man who was decided to keep watch over the lotuses.

The other clans’ people all showed a dark face.

They were not stupid. They had all realized that the young man from Ye Clan who stood on the stage was far stronger than level five of Spirit Origin Stage. He was so unbelievably strong that none of the youngsters of the clans could compare to him!

In other words, he could sweep down all the others on the stage on his own.

That meant Ye Clan was going to win all the lotuses because of Ye Xiao.

Ye Clan wouldn’t lose the sixty high-quality lotuses. Instead, they would get twenty lotuses from each of the other clans!

The other clans worked so hard to make Ye Clan hold such an arena, yet it turned out they were giving away their own lotuses to Ye Clan!

All their hard work was going to benefit Ye Clan!

They were excitedly planning to take great advantages of Ye Clan. However, they failed and now they were handing their own lotuses to Ye Clan. It was typically going for wool and coming back shorn!

What could they do anyway? Could they ban Ye Xiao?

How?

He was younger than twenty!

He perfectly met the conditions!

All the other clans felt like swallowing a fly in the mouth!

It felt like swallowing a huge fly, which was still squirming inside their stomach!

However, the combat was started. How could they stop it?

There were so many clans watching. Could they just deny it and break the agreement? Could they push it back into their asses when they were sh*tting?

They couldn’t! They couldn’t disgrace themselves like that!

What to do?

”Attrition!”

”One by one, each clan sends a man to fight him until he is tired!”

That was the only plan they could come up with at the moment.
