Chapter Eighty-four: The Three Schools' Finals (Part 2)

  Ye Tianchen continued, "By the way, brother, with such a high cultivation level, why do you still want to come down here? Also, with such a high cultivation level, not only did you participate in the Golden Dan stage's trial, but how is it that everyone else can't see your true cultivation?"

  Ye Tianfan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I mainly didn't want to show off my cultivation, so I concealed it. As for this trial, I also didn't want to participate, but the master who taught me alchemy required me to attend, so I came. As for why others can't see through my cultivation, it's because of the reasons related to my technique. After all, the system of my technique is vastly different from the ordinary ones."

  "Oh, so that's how it is. But brother, you're really amazing! Not only did you create your own technique, but you also went to learn alchemy and your cultivation level is already this high." Ye Tianchen exclaimed.

  Ye Tianfan naturally didn't want to say that the technique wasn't his own creation, so he said: "You wouldn't have mentioned it if I hadn't forgotten. I have quite a few refined pills here, most of which are middle and high-grade. When you're free to go home, give them to your family, but don't mention where I am, got it?" After that, Ye Tianfan took out over ten bottles of pills from his storage ring and gave them to Ye Tianchen.

  Ye Tianchen replied: "Alright, brother, I'll do as you ask and make sure you're satisfied."

  Yè Tiān Chén agreed, Yè Tiān Fán asked: "Are you still practicing the skill I taught you?"

  Ye Tianchen nodded and said: "The kung fu you taught me is very good, so I don't want to change to another one."

  Ye Tianfan was moved to say: "In the future, if you see a better technique than what I taught you, just practice it, I won't get angry. Look at this." After that, Ye Tianfan handed over a jade slip to Ye Tianchen.

  Ye Tianchen took it and directly immersed his divine consciousness into it, focusing on reading it. He even ignored his brother who was beside him, clearly attracted by the content inside.

  After a while, Ye Tianchen withdrew his divine consciousness and excitedly asked Ye Tianfan, "Brother, was this specially prepared for me? This cultivation method is really great, it's so suitable for me."

  Ye Tianfan said in a bad tone, "Of course it's specially prepared for you. I saw that your kung fu is still the one I taught you before, so I used my now richer experience to help you modify it."

  "Brother, thank you, brother, you are really too good to me." Ye Tianchen said with eyes full of gratitude.

  Ye Tianfan smiled and said, "Stupid little brother, you are my own brother, who else would I be good to? By the way, during this final match, I will only play one round and then concede."

  "Why? Brother, it's easy for you to get first place with your strength!" Ye Tianchen asked anxiously.

  Ye Tianfan replied, "I'm already at a disadvantage participating in this competition against you Golden Core cultivators, let alone competing for first place. Besides, I'd like to see who's more formidable between you and my sworn sister Xia Lingyue."

  "Brother, you've mentioned Xia Lingyu several times, can you tell me something about her?" Ye Tianchen asked curiously.

  "Ah, her? I rescued her from the clutches of a spoiled rich kid not long after I first came out. At the time, she was being harassed. You should actually call her 'sister'."

  "Ah, so that means I have a brother and also a sister? But is she very formidable?" Ye Tianchen said in surprise.

  "Hmm, she's indeed very powerful, with a fast cultivation speed, and possesses one of the most powerful spiritual root attributes - the Thunder Attribute Spiritual Root. You two will have a great show to watch later." Ye Tianfan said with a smile.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Tianchen also became somewhat expectant. The sky had already darkened and the two of them had chatted enough, so they each returned to rest, preparing to head out for a match tomorrow.

  The next day, Ye Tianfan arrived at the square relatively late, as all the participants had already arrived, and there were also many people watching the competition.

  He drew a good lot, and Ye Tianfan unexpectedly found himself to be number two, meaning he was the first to participate in the trial. Xia Lingyin seemed to have extremely good luck, drawing the seventh sign, skipping his turn.

  After the draw, when the judge announced that it was time for the first and second place to compete on stage, Ye Tianfan had already arrived on stage. His opponent was a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, so Ye Tianfan did not make him lose too badly. On the contrary, he pretended to be a bit embarrassed, making everyone think that he had only narrowly won, and his true yuan was already exhausted.

  Ye Tianchen was a cut above the rest, easily defeating a disciple of the Muling Sect. Ye Tianfan spoke up to the judges during the second round of trials.

  Ye Tianfan said: "Elder, I don't know if I can concede, my true yuan has not recovered yet, I will definitely lose, so I concede."

  "The elder saw Ye Tianfan enter the top four with difficulty, so he asked: 'Really giving up, won't you try once?'"

  After seeing Ye Tianfan nodding in agreement, the judge said: "Okay, since you want to give up, I have no way out. But you are only in fourth place now. How about it? You don't have any opinion?"

  Ye Tianfan nodded in agreement, after all this was within his expectations, and he wasn't too concerned about the ranking and rewards either.

  Soon, Ye Tianchen and Xia Lingyun emerged as the final contestants for the ultimate showdown, which made both the judges on stage and the audience eagerly anticipate.

  Before long, the two of them arrived on the stage. Ye Tianchen looked at Xia Lingyin and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You're my brother Ye Tianfan's adopted sister, right? I'm his younger brother. My brother often mentions you, and he says he's really looking forward to seeing who's more powerful between us."

  "What! You're actually Heaven's Brother Tian's younger brother. I said how come you two have names that are only one word different, yet you're both so formidable. However, you seem to not be as formidable as your older brother." Xia Lingyin first exclaimed in surprise, then said with a joking tone.

  "Let's get started. To be honest, I also want to know who is more powerful." Ye Tianfan said, seeing that it was not suitable to say too much on stage.

  Xia Lingyun apparently also knew this, so she nodded in agreement, and the two began to make their moves at the same time.

  Ye Tianchen, being a cultivator of the Golden Attribute's technique, exuded an air of sharpness and grandeur. Xia Lingyin, also cultivating the Golden Attribute's technique, similarly radiated an aura of dominance and superiority.

  The two men first exchanged a blow with their fists, both taking a step back. They immediately realized that they were evenly matched, and the key to winning or losing was how well they performed.

  Since the two were evenly matched, their extra moves were almost useless. So Xia Lingyun took out her ultimate move, Thunderbolt Million Army, and Ye Tianchen also took out his ultimate move, Golden Dragon Crazy Whistle, ready to decide the outcome with one move.

  The two of them seemed to want to show off in front of Ye Tianfan, so they both performed exceptionally well. The two great moves collided with each other, and after a loud noise, the sand and dust filled the air, blocking everyone's line of sight.

  After the smoke and fog had dispersed, both of them stood still in their original positions, having only suffered some minor injuries. However, they were both exhausted from using up all their inner energy and were unable to continue fighting.

  The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and said in unison: "Let's just call it a draw?"

  Both were somewhat surprised that the other had the same idea as themselves, but still nodded in agreement with each other's thoughts.

  The judge saw that both of them asked for a draw, and there was no way to do it, so they had to count both as the first place. With the end of the two men's fight, it also meant the end of the competition among the disciples in the Golden Elixir stage.
