Lian Yuqing glanced at Ye Futian coldly and walked to Yun Feng's side. He squatted down to examine Yun Feng's injuries and found that many of his bones were broken. He wasn't crippled, but he'd probably need a long time to recover before he could cultivate normally.
This was only a physical injury. Lian Yuqing saw Yun Feng's blank eyes and understood that this battle had hurt Yun Feng's mind far more than his body.
His junior brother was the descendant of the Master Painter. He could paint anything and was extremely talented. He'd entered the Law Rank not long after entering the Holy Zhi Palace. Naturally, he was young and full of vigor. Entering the Sage Hall was his goal. He knew what kind of person Yun Feng usually was. Proud, young, and full of confidence.
But right now, Yun Feng's eyes were hollow. The humiliation of this battle had shattered his confidence and pride, causing him to fall into the abyss. This was too cruel for a young and arrogant genius. It was very likely that Yun Feng would never be able to recover from this setback. He would doubt himself from then on, and it would be difficult for him to recover. This was what cultivators often called a damaged heart. It would be a huge obstacle to his future cultivation.
Lifting his head, Lian Yuqing looked at Ye Futian coldly and said, "We both cultivate in the Holy Zhi Palace. Aren't you a bit too vicious?"
He knew that Ye Futian had done this on purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the Law Battle Platform.
"If you're not blind, then you're an idiot," Ye Futian replied coldly. Who didn't know how to mock others from a moral standpoint?
When Yun Feng humiliated him, had Lian Yuqing said anything?
When Yun Feng put Hua Jieyu in the painting, had he scolded Yun Feng? If Yun Feng had put Lian Yuqing's girlfriend in the painting, would he still be so calm? Now that he'd been humiliated, he was vicious.
Lian Yuqing stared at Ye Futian. Then he stood up and walked towards the Law Battle Platform.
"What's Lian Yuqing doing?" Everyone looked at Lian Yuqing. He was a peak Noble, fifth on the Law Rank. No matter what, he shouldn't be the one to walk onto the Law Battle Platform.
"Senior Brother Lian!" Yun Shuisheng shouted. She was rather surprised by the battle. Ye Futian, whom she had seen before, had been a cheeky and rascally person. The Ye Futian she saw in the Daozang Pavilion today was a completely different person. The power that he had displayed in a fit of rage was shocking.
Though he was a bit harsh on Yun Feng, Yun Feng, Xiang Zhiqin, and the others had forced him to fight. Hua Jieyu had already made it clear that Yun Feng wasn't allowed to paint her, but Yun Feng still painted her. This was blasphemy. Ye Futian was angry for a reason.
On the Law Battle Platform, Ye Futian had defeated Yun Feng as a Grade Eight Noble. No matter what, even Yu Qing had no reason to intervene. It would be ungracious.
"I won't do anything to him," Lian Yuqing said softly as he stopped in his tracks. He then continued walking onto the Law Battle Platform.
Ye Futian looked at Lian Yuqing. He was a little surprised. He did not expect Lian Yuqing to actually have the guts to walk onto the Law Battle Platform.
"I shouldn't have intervened, but you're too violent. Please listen to a song," Lian Yuqing said slowly. Then, he sat on the Law Battle Platform and plucked the strings with his fingers. In an instant, melodious music spread out and floated into everyone's ears.
"I'll listen to a song of yours." Ye Futian stood there and looked at Lian Yuqing quietly. His opponent was a Noble at the peak of the Noble Plane. There was no doubt about the outcome of this battle. There was no need to try at all.
The higher the plane, the greater the difference between each plane. How long did it take for a Grade Eight Noble to reach the peak of the Noble Plane? It wasn't something that could be crossed easily.
Wisps of sound waves spread out and invaded Ye Futian's Spiritual Energy. In an instant, Ye Futian's Spiritual Energy seemed to be out of his control. It was wild and chaotic, but he still stood there quietly.
The guqin music that was frantically seeping into his body seemed to have substituted him into another space. There was an invisible hand holding his body, and he felt as if his whole body was in that illusory space, firmly held by that big hand.
An illusion appeared in his mind. His body seemed to be captured and then smashed to the ground. His body shook and his Spiritual Energy seemed to be shattered. He stood on the Law Battle Platform and grunted. His face was pale.
Lian Yuqing was still playing slowly, elegant and natural. Seeing Ye Futian's expression, everyone knew that he must be going through something, but no one knew what Lian Yuqing's music did to him.
Lian Yuqing stopped playing very quickly. He raised his head and looked at the pale Ye Futian. He said, "Did you feel it? How did it feel?"
He said, "I'm not Yun Feng, and you're not me. Yun Feng has provoked me multiple times and doesn't know how to respect me. It's him who thinks he's the best in the world. I don't have any qualms about attacking him. You, on the other hand, what are you trying to prove with this method? Don't forget what plane you're in. If you want to attack, do it directly. What are you trying to prove with this method? Hypocrisy? "
Lian Yuqing looked at the mocking smirk on Ye Futian's face. His right hand strummed the strings of his guqin. In an instant, a terrifying wave of Spiritual Energy rushed into Ye Futian's mind like a tidal wave. Ye Futian felt as if he was struck by lightning. He staggered backward and grunted. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Many people trembled, but Ye Futian's expression didn't change at all. Instead, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"That's right." Ye Futian smiled brightly. "This is the challenge you wanted. Your so-called elegance. After defeating Yun Feng, who was two planes higher, you walked onto the platform personally as a Noble. It was very impressive, but in the future, you still need to be more shameless."
After saying this, Ye Futian turned around and walked off the Law Battle Platform. He could not be bothered with the challenges because they were meaningless in and of themselves.
After this battle, it would probably cease to exist.
Seeing Ye Futian walk off the platform step by step, Lian Yuqing's expression darkened. He didn't stop him. Ye Futian had been forcing him to fight.
He smiled self-mockingly. In the end, his state of mind wasn't strong enough. He'd actually been angered by Ye Futian. Did Ye Futian want to use this method to affect his state of mind?
"Right, I've remembered the music you played today. I'll gift you one in the future if I have the chance." Ye Futian walked off the platform and pulled Hua Jieyu away, ignoring everyone else.
Lian Yuqing didn't mind Ye Futian's words. Gift him one?
Could it be that Ye Futian was also skilled in music? But even so, how many years would it take for Ye Futian to surpass him?
Xiang Zhiqin watched Ye Futian leave. Her expression darkened.
…
The news of this battle quickly spread in the Holy Zhi Palace. Yun Feng, 96th on the Law Rank, had been defeated by Ye Futian. Many people sighed. It seemed that the newcomer who ranked first this year was stronger than they'd imagined.
Yun Feng's talent was recognized for being on the Law Rank. He'd also cultivated in the Holy Zhi Palace for a period of time. However, it was said that he'd met a tragic end. After returning to the Daozang Pavilion, he'd been in seclusion. His state of mind had been destroyed.
Yun Feng was removed from the Law Rank. Ye Futian's rank shot up and entered the 81st.
He was only a Grade Eight Noble and he was already in the 81st. What would his rank be when he became a mid-level Noble or an upper-level Noble in the future?
At that moment, in the Battle Sage Palace of the Holy Zhi Palace, in a dazzling ancient temple, Qi Jie was leading the way. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng followed him here. According to Qi Jie, the Palace Lord of the Battle Sage Palace, Sage Douzhan, wanted to see them.
In front of a golden ancient temple, Ye Futian saw Sage Douzhan. He was a tall, bare-chested figure with bronze-colored skin, full of endless power. Although he did not release any aura, just standing in front of Sage Douzhan, Ye Futian and Yu Sheng felt a strong pressure. Ye Futian had a feeling that in front of Sage Douzhan, he was like an ant that could be squashed to death with one finger.
"Ye Futian greets Master."
"Master."
Ye Futian and Yu Sheng both greeted. They'd listened to Sage Jingang. Since they'd entered the Battle Sage Palace, it wasn't wrong to call him Master.
Sage Douzhan nodded lightly. He looked at them and said, "I saw at the entrance battle. Your bodies are very strong. You must've cultivated powerful body-enhancing techniques. However, this is inherent in the techniques. You didn't really dig out the potential of your bodies and reach the limit of body-enhancing techniques. In terms of body-enhancing talent, Yu Sheng is the most suitable. It's a pity that you didn't take the path of body-enhancing."
"There are very few cultivators who train their bodies. Most people prefer to cultivate sorcery. Even in the lower planes, those of lower planes advocate that sorcery is stronger than martial arts, and that training their bodies is even more inferior. What do you think?" Sage Douzhan said.
"Everyone has their own strengths. It's the same for any profession at the peak. It still depends on the individual," Ye Futian replied.
"No, they're right." Sage Douzhan looked at Ye Futian and said, "Of course, it's only limited to the lower planes. When you really cultivate to a certain level, there's no absolute strength. Of course, people like you who are good at multiple abilities naturally have an advantage. Everyone has a different view of cultivation, and I stubbornly believe that the path of body-enhancing is stronger than everything. It's just that very few people can reach the peak."
Ye Futian didn't agree, but in a sense, Sage Douzhan was right. If a cultivator could not stick to their beliefs, how could they cultivate?
"Maybe you'll doubt my words, but let me ask you. People who cultivate their bodies to the peak. At the same plane, the strength of their bodies is comparable to the attack power of sorcery. How will you deal with me?" Sage Douzhan looked at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian revealed a look of contemplation. Sage Douzhan said, "It's actually very simple. You just need to imagine Yu Sheng. If someone at the same plane as him, and an attack landed on him, would there be any reaction?"
Ye Futian nodded. This was the truth. If someone at the same plane attacked Yu Sheng, ordinary people really wouldn't be able to do anything.
But in reality, it couldn't be calculated that way. Because many people's attack power was stronger than their plane.
"I'm ranked seventh on the Barren Sky Ranking, but even those at the top are absolutely unwilling to fight me. Do you know why?" Sage Douzhan asked again, as if he was exceptionally confident in his own abilities.
Ye Futian shook his head.
