C31 Life and death arena
The three of them did not understand why Ye Feng was like this. His expression was like a pie falling from the sky, hitting their heads.
Ignoring the stupefied expressions of the three people, Ye Feng ran towards Spirit Beast Peak. In an instant, he understood that this Ancient Divine Beast egg had been revived, and the reason for its revival was the storage bag's crystal core.
A large amount of the storage bag's crystals had all been wasted. The only explanation was that the egg absorbed the energy inside them and then burst out with vitality.
Although he had used up a large amount of crystals, Ye Feng still felt pained. However, he was still able to see the value between the crystals and the primordial divine beasts; once this primordial divine beast broke out from its shell and grew, let alone the Wanghai Sect, it would even cause a sensation in the cultivation world. At that time, the crystals would just be floating clouds.
Not to mention the pride in his heart, Ye Feng felt that his body had become a lot lighter and his walking speed was much faster than usual.
"Halt!"
"I'm talking about you, waste!"
Ye Feng, who was still immersed in his excitement, didn't notice that the road was blocked by a few people.
He stopped.
Ye Feng frowned. Why was he so persistent?
The first one he saw was Liang Hua, and Ye Feng recognized the others, including Ge Binbo who was beaten up by him, and two disciples he didn't recognize.
Judging from the attire of the two disciples, they should be disciples of the Sword Pavilion.
The disciples of the Sword Pavilion were all dressed in unique attire, each with a flying sword strapped to their back.
Not every disciple has a flying sword on their back. Generally speaking, cultivators that haven't reached the Qi Condensation stage can't control the flying sword, so they can't control the flying sword either. Most cultivators wouldn't choose a flying sword.
As long as the Sword Pavilion disciples managed to gather their Qi successfully, without exception, all of them would carry flying swords on their backs.
"Cha," Ye Feng cursed to himself. Acting tough, without the strength to refine qi, yet carrying a flying sword on his back, how despicable.
Every time he saw a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, Ye Feng would feel very unhappy. From the moment he started to be mocked by the disciples of the Sword Pavilion, to when Ge Binbo came looking for him, Ye Feng would always place the disciples of the Sword Pavilion in the midst of enmity.
"Ye Feng, come over here and greet the Elder Brother Ruan." Liang Hua relied on his power and shouted.
Ye Feng looked towards the disciple who led the group of disciples. It was none other than the disciple who mocked Zong Qiang during the spirit root test, Ruan Jialin.
"Elder Brother Ruan." Even if he did not fancy Ruan Jialin, due to the rules, Ye Feng had to take the initiative and go up.
"It's really unexpected, I didn't expect a waste like you could successfully condense Qi." As someone at the peak of gathering qi stage, Ruan Jialin was able to tell at a glance that Ye Feng was already at the Qi Condensation stage.
"What!" Ge Binbo could not believe it, he sized up Ye Feng once again, and sadly discovered that Ye Feng's current cultivation level was the same as his.
Although Qi Condensation was only the beginning of a person's cultivation, it was a hundred times stronger than a martial artist.
Cultivators and Qi Condensation cultivators had the same status, and they would be considered equals. However, Qi Condensation cultivators were stronger than Qi Condensation cultivators by a head. Even though Qi Condensation cultivators were young, they still held the title of Senior.
Now that Ye Feng had managed to gather his Qi, Ge Binbo naturally did not dare to pretend to be Senior Brother anymore.
Liang Hua was even more miserable. Originally, Ye Feng called him senior brother, but now, he actually wanted to call Ye Feng senior brother.
Liang Hua thought to herself that perhaps her good days at Spirit Beast Peak had truly come to an end. Ever since Ye Feng taught him a lesson, the Spirit Beast Peak's disciples either openly or secretly didn't take him seriously.
From the looks of it, Spirit Beast Peak's Eldest Senior Brother had completely lost his position.
Ye Feng looked at the few people before saying, "I wonder what Elder Brother Ruan has to say."
"Ye Feng, you dare to hit my Sword Pavilion disciple? Have you forgotten about this?" Ruan Jialin pointed angrily at Ye Feng.
"Why, this Elder Brother Ruan is here to take revenge for this unskilled Ge Binbo." Ye Feng said indifferently, not putting Ruan Jialin in his eyes at all.
The contemptuous attitude made Ruan Jialin extremely unhappy.
Amongst all the new disciples who had joined the Wanghai Sect, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this before. No matter who saw him, they would respectfully call him Senior Brother.
"Haha, what, you've successfully gathered your Qi and don't put us old disciples in your eyes anymore. You feel like your wings are hard, and in the end, you're still just a waste. I'm afraid that the Qi Condensation stage is your limit." Ruan Jialin had sufficient reasons to be proud.
He was already in the state of peak of gathering qi and was about to break through into the Qi Refining stage at any time, and what he lacked was nothing more than an opportunity.
On one hand, he hadn't collected all of his crystals. On the other hand, he felt that he wasn't completely confident, so he didn't intentionally try to break through to the Qi Condensation stage.
Ruan Jialin had entered the Wanghai Sect a year earlier than Ye Feng, and had reached the peak of gathering qi within a year's time. This was a rare occurrence even in the entire Wang Hai Sect Disciples, thus he had become very popular in the Sword Pavilion, and was thus highly regarded.
"Elder Brother Ruan, what exactly do you want to do? You can just say it out, I don't have time to waste here with you." Ye Feng's words made Ruan Jialin even more furious.
This cripple was indeed arrogant without a trace of the consciousness of a new person. It seemed like he needed to teach this new person a lesson on behalf of the older disciples and let him know the least bit of courtesy.
"You have beaten a disciple of our Sword Pavilion. Today, you must accept your punishment." Ruan Jialin said stiffly.
Elder Brother Ruan, could it be that this is your Sword Pavilion's way of doing things? When a disciple gets beaten up by me, he has to take revenge, if only Ge Binbo had beaten me up that day. Ye Feng said in disdain.
"Since you want to force your way through words, you should at least beat someone up. See if I give you a good lesson or not, you crazy bastard." Ruan Jialin took a step forward and was about to attack. His heart was filled with anger, if he did not teach Ye Feng a lesson, it would be hard for him to take this lying down.
"Hold on." Ye Feng stopped Ruan Jialin's actions.
"What, you're scared? Ye Feng, if you're scared, then it's not too late to quickly kowtow and admit your wrongs." Ge Binbo shouted from the side. Since the last time he was beaten up by Ye Feng, it had become a symbol of humiliation when he returned home. A Qi Condensation disciple was violently beaten up by a warrior.
Ge Binbo had only come to the Wanghai Sect and did not enjoy the benefits that the Wanghai Sect had given to his disciples. These crystals were what he had brought when he left home.
"A defeated opponent, do you think you have the right to speak here?" Ye Feng did not even look at Ge Binbo.
"Ye Feng, what are you going to do?" Ruan Jialin looked at Ye Feng and said.
After beating Liang Hua up, you will be lured over to Ge Binbo. If I beat you up again today, you might attract more people, but who knows if you have a lot of disciples in the Sword Pavilion. If thousands of people in the Sword Pavilion were to fight with me, I won't be able to accompany them.
Ye Feng's words were absolutely arrogant. As soon as he opened his mouth, all of the Sword Pavilion disciples were drawn in.
"Ye Feng, you are so arrogant. You still want to challenge all the disciples in the Sword Pavilion? Why don't you take a piss and take care of yourself?" Ge Binbo scolded.
Ruan Jialin was embarrassed, the disciples of the Sword Pavilion had not been directly slapped in the face like this.
"Ye Feng has cultivated too arrogantly."
"Elder Brother Ruan, teach this fellow a lesson."
"Ye Feng, you will pay the price for your arrogance." Ruan Jialin said in exasperation.
Although he really wanted to teach Ye Feng a lesson, there was a rule in Wanghai Sect that disciples of the same sect should not fight with each other. Disciples of the Qi Condensation stage and above are prohibited from fighting each other.
Initially, he thought Ye Feng had a warrior identity and was unprotected by this rule so he could help to teach him a lesson. However, after realising that Ye Feng had successfully condensed his Qi, Ruan Jialin did not have any place to train.
However, Ye Feng's arrogant attitude made Ruan Jialin jealous.
What should he do, Ruan Jialin was not willing to let Ye Feng go, he turned his head and got it.
"Ye Feng, don't be so arrogant. There is only half a month until the opening day of the Life and Death Arena. Do you dare to go up against me, the Life and Death Arena?" Ruan Jialin's eyes flashed with incomparable malice.
The Life and Death Arena that he spoke of was a cultivation sparring ground set up by the Wanghai Sect, or a place to settle personal grudges.
There were many Wang Hai Sect Disciples, and during their heyday, there were tens of thousands of them. Even now, there were tens of thousands of disciples.
If the disciples were to allow each other to battle freely, they believed that before long, the Wanghai Sect would have already become a piece of loose sand, and would become a piece of loose sand.
It was unknown since when the Wanghai Sect appeared, but every year, the Life and Death Arena appeared. All the disciples who had conflicts with each other could go to the Life and Death Arena, and the two sides could attack each other with their strongest abilities, regardless of death or injury, if both sides were willing.
Once on the Life and Death Arena, no one was allowed to interfere, and killing the opponent would not be punished by the sect. After many years, the disciples who dared to board the Life and Death Arena and survive would not only not be punished, they would also receive the sect's attention and admiration.
After all, not everyone had the courage to fight to the death.
Of course, as long as there was no great hatred between them, no one would bring up the idea of letting the Life and Death Arena settle this issue. Therefore, every year, the Life and Death Arena would become useless, and basically no one would come up for the next few days.
They were all disciples of the same sect, so as long as they didn't hate his wife and son, who would bother with him?
Ruan Jialin had looked down on him since the day Ye Feng entered the Wanghai Sect. It had been a month since they had last met, yet this trash dared to provoke him, and this made Ruan Jialin unable to swallow his anger. Thus, Ruan Jialin secretly steeled his heart, and decided to get rid of this cripple and establish his own prestige.
He predicted that Ye Feng didn't know the rules of the Life and Death Arena, so it would be fine even if he himself killed him.
Even if Ye Feng knew the rules of Life and Death Arena, the only consequence would be that Ye Feng was scared and did not dare to accept the challenge.
Hearing Ruan Jialin's words, Liang Hua could not help but shiver. She was the one who caused this trouble, and now it had actually reached the level of a Life and Death Arena.
However, things had already gotten to this point. The situation was no longer something he could control.
If anything happened to Ye Feng when he promised Ruan Jialin, the Elder Sun Qi would probably not let him go. If Ye Feng did not agree to Ruan Jialin's request, then the Spirit Beast Peak's disciples would be afraid of the Sword Pavilion disciples, and the Elder Sun Qi would not spare him. The more Liang Hua thought about it, the more afraid he became.
"If I agree, will you guys keep looking for trouble with me in the future?" Ye Feng did not seem to know the consequences of going to the Life and Death Arena.
The few people looked at Ye Feng strangely. Was this cripple crazy or did he not know the rules of the Life and Death Arena?
"Alright, as long as you agree to go to the Life and Death Arena, no matter what the consequences are, no one will come looking for you. I can guarantee this point to you." Ruan Jialin looked at Ye Feng as if he was looking at a fool.
He had enough strength to break into the Qi Refining stage in half a month's time. If he succeeded in refining the Qi, killing Ye Feng would be as easy as killing an ant.
Furthermore, I have seized this opportunity to extort from Liang Hua and him a bit of information. As your senior brother, he will be sticking out for you guys, and now that he needs crystals, the two of you should at least express yourself, because once I advance, he would be a Qi Condensation cultivator. In terms of reputation, he would be your junior master.
Ruan Jialin complacently calculated in his heart.
"Then let's do it this way. We will meet again at Life and Death Arena and not rest until we die." Ye Feng lightly said, as if the word 'life' was not important in Ye Feng's eyes.
Why, Ye Feng knew the rules of Life and Death Arena, Ruan Jialin was startled, but did not care at all. Everything was under his control, he could break through to the Refinement Stage, and he could even become famous in the Wanghai Sect.
He immediately expressed: "Since Junior Brother Ye has agreed, then we'll meet again in half a month." After saying that, Ruan Jialin took another look at Ye Feng and then brought a few people with him as he left.
"Liang Hua, stop." Ye Feng saw that Liang Hua was also following behind them, and was trembling with fear as he prepared to leave.
Ye Feng's low shout nearly scared Liang Hua out of his wits.
Ye Feng's legs trembled, it was already good enough that he didn't sit on the ground. Ye Feng's low voice was no different from a suicidal Yama.
"Ye Feng, what are you doing?" Ruan Jialin turned and said, he had actually already spoken, what else did Ye Feng want to do, seeing him at Life and Death Arena.
"I told you that I would go to Life and Death Arena with you, but you don't seem to care about teaching a useless Spirit Beast Peak disciple a lesson."
Ye Feng was right. Firstly, Liang Hua was a disciple of Spirit Beast Peak, secondly, as a martial artist, it was understandable for Liang Hua to be taught a lesson by Ye Feng.
"Elder Brother Ruan, save me." Liang Hua asked Ruan Jialin for help with a sullen face.
Ruan Jialin shook his head. Something without backbone, to dare to extort from others, have he not thought about the consequences?
"Liang Hua, when are you going to return the five hundred crystals that you owe me?" Ye Feng said to Liang Hua.
"Brother Ye, I'll send them to you as soon as I can." Liang Hua saw that Ye Feng did not make a move and quickly agreed. However, he secretly thought to himself, "Half a month from now, you will be dead. As long as I drag this half a month, this debt will go down the drain."
"I can't wait any longer. You can send it to me in five days."
"Brother Ye, I can't gather that many crystals at the moment." Liang Hua lowered his head and said.
"Pah!"
A resounding slap on the face caused him to feel dizzy.
"You dare to state such conditions? If you don't arrive within three days, I will break both your legs." Ye Feng glared at Liang Hua and said fiercely.
His eyes shone with a cold light.
Too arrogant, he actually dared to hit someone in front of Ruan Jialin, Ruan Jialin thought.
