Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Advancement
On the arena, Ye Xingyu, a Spirit Talisman Master, spoke first.
He is the youngest among the Xing Generation, not much older than Ye Jingteng from the Jing Generation, and is also a renowned Spirit Talisman Master.
With these words, although the other cultivators frowned, they didn’t sense much of a problem.
After all, among Technique Masters, perhaps only Pill Masters suffer a little disadvantage.
Ye Xinghe, standing beside, did not speak, clearly acknowledging it.
In Ye Family’s philosophy, maintaining equivalent situations is considered the greatest fairness.
"Uncle Xingyu, of course, there’s no issue!" Ye Jingcheng had no other thoughts.
If Ye Xingyu was a Tier One High-grade Spirit Talisman Master, he might feel cautious, but in the Spirit Talisman craft, without mastering the corresponding magic, you cannot make talismans.
Ye Xingyu is at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, and the spirit talismans he crafts are only Tier One Middle-grade at best, so his apprehension is limited.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng noticed that the opponent hadn’t even summoned his Spirit Beast.
Whether it’s arrogance or not, to Ye Jingcheng, at least he could seize the initiative.
"Uncle Xingyu, your nephew is a Beast Master, please do bear with me!" Ye Jingcheng released the Red Flame Fox, bowing with his hands as well.
Very polite.
As the large Red Flame Fox appeared, many cultivators were taken aback, even Ye Xinghe was surprised!
The growth of Ye Jingcheng’s Red Flame Fox was exceedingly rapid, its spiritual energy level has already reached that of Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.
Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyong were initially smug, but their expressions instantly soured!
Ye Jingcheng’s Red Flame Fox was raised with theirs.
The difference now was overwhelmingly evident.
Ye Xingyu’s expression changed, but it was already too late to say anything.
As the sound of the bell echoed, the arena officially commenced!
Four massive Fireball Skills surged forward in succession, headed straight for Ye Xingyu’s face!
The speed of these fireballs’ launch astonished Ye Xingyu, quickly prompting him to use several Fireball Talismans and several Ice Shield Talismans.
Spirit Talisman magic and fireballs exploded in the air like magnificent fireworks!
What worried Ye Xingyu was that these Fireball Skills were clearly far superior to those used by ordinary cultivators, his spirit talismans, despite being instant, paled in comparison.
The massive fireballs continued pressing towards him, frightening him with their power, causing him to use two Divine Movement Talismans to repeatedly evade!
The remaining fireballs hit the arena, which was crafted by mixing in Profound Iron, turning blazing red, seemingly unable to endure the impact.
Ye Xingyu quickly cast several spirit talismans, and in his hand appeared a fan, which he waved!
The speed of those spirit talismans dramatically increased!
Clearly intending to catch Ye Jingcheng off guard!
But Ye Jingcheng had already swung a small shield simultaneously, the Red Flame Fox once again spitting out three fireballs, their scorching intensity causing the air temperature to tremble!
Meanwhile, everyone noticed the forehead of the Red Flame Fox, where a spirit pattern seemed to ignite!
The clash of spirit talisman magic subsided into calmness, only Ye Xingyu had unknowingly been ensnared by Ye Jingcheng’s Iron Wood Vine.
These vines were densely tangled, and beneath them, an Ice Freeze Talisman blossomed at his feet.
Ye Xingyu had no way to escape.
A gigantic fireball emerged above the Red Flame Fox’s head!
"I concede!" Ye Xingyu reluctantly shook his head!
The Red Flame Fox was genuinely terrifying, its spell casting speed much faster and more powerful than spirit talismans.
Moreover, with Ye Jingcheng’s control, in a diverse terrain he might have a chance, but in the arena, it was futile.
The Red Flame Fox’s Fireball Technique also shot for the sky, transforming into a massive fireball and exploding in the air, as if announcing the winner of this fiery feast.
"Ye Jingcheng wins!" Ye Xinghe nodded, confirming Ye Jingcheng’s advancement!
He will advance directly to the top six.
This round, he receives a bye.
"Jingcheng, you really hid well!" Ye Jingli was staring at Ye Jingcheng, somewhat envious but also slightly relieved.
Fortunately for Ye Jingcheng’s bye, otherwise, he might have failed to enter the top six.
"Brother Liu is joking, it’s the Red Flame Fox itself that’s formidable, and thanks to the family!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hands in response.
Seeing this, Ye Jingli remained somewhat skeptical, he leaned next to Ye Jingcheng and whispered:
"Brother Liu’s Snake Armor is alright, why not sell more Spirit Nourishing Pills to Brother Liu, Brother Liu will arrange a set for your Red Flame Fox!" Ye Jingli eagerly suggested.
And Ye Jingcheng had long wanted to mention this.
Although his Treasure Book can heal Demon Beast injuries, it cannot save from fatal wounds, equipping the Red Flame Fox with Profound Armor on its neck is also necessary.
"Then I must trouble Brother Liu!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.
It confirmed his deal with Ye Jingli.
As they exchanged whispers, the duel on the stage resumed, this time with no suspense as Ye Jingyong faced a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer member of the Jing Generation, Ye Jingcheng.
The outcome quickly ended with Ye Jingyong’s victory.
His Flying Knife Artifact and Flying Cloud Leopard clearly displayed their advantage, and with the small seal, the ordinary spirit shield would shatter under its pressure.
In the end, Ye Xinghe intervened to seize Ye Jingyong’s small seal, otherwise, Ye Jingcheng’s life would be in danger.
Ye Jingcheng showed no sign of regret over his defeat, being able to rank among the top ten already delighted him greatly.
He also relished the duel experience, each Ye Family member, having gone through the humiliation from visits by the three families, had only one goal: to become stronger!
Their belief was that gaining from battle was most important.
Ye Jingli soon returned to the stage, facing an opponent, still at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, possessing a Spirit Beast, the Cyan Cloud Wolf, with fairly decent battle experience.
Ye Jingli ultimately achieved a hard-fought victory through the relentless attacks from the Cyan-Scaled Python’s Thorn Armor.
After all, the Cyan Cloud Wolf dared not attack recklessly, but the Cyan-Scaled Python did.
The top six quickly emerged, and upon the top six being decided, Ye Xinghe gave everyone two hours to rest and regain Spiritual Energy.
As Ye Jingcheng had a bye, he revealed his advantage, and looked towards the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation arena.
The competitors in the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation only numbered ten, but each battle was intense.
Only Ye Jingteng continued to dominate, however, Ye Jingcheng was puzzled as Ye Jingteng hadn’t utilized a Spirit Beast.
It’s unclear whether he saw no need for a Spirit Beast or he simply didn’t have any.
As the first genius of the Jing Generation in the Ye Family, Ye Jingcheng believed the latter possibility was unlikely.
Meanwhile, Ye Jingyu, this time, also brought a new Spirit Beast, the Golden Feathered Eagle, with cultivation at the Late Stage of First Tier, equivalent to Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.
This Golden Feathered Eagle was clearly an inherited Spirit Beast, along with Ye Jingyu’s Flying Cloud Leopard, few cultivators on stage could compare, eventually Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingteng, along with three cultivators from the Xing Generation, entered the top five of the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.
Watching this contest brought Ye Jingcheng great insight, time flew by quickly, as day turned to dusk,
The plaza illuminated brightly with majestic Moonlight Stones.
The top six contest of the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation was also about to begin!
