Chapter 475: I Refuse

The entire ceremony platform was engulfed by a deafening silence. Countless people looked in the same direction. When they saw the person who walked out, many people were wildly astonished. Some even started trembling.

The figure who walked out was extremely handsome. He walked very slowly up the stairs, and with every single step that he took, he seemed to be stamping on everyone’s heart.

Where is he going? Where?! Jiang Nan’s face was distorted as he yelled crazily in his mind, Why is it him? Why… He had thought of all possibilities but Ye Futian. Even though he had once hypothesized that Ye Futian was hiding his real identity, he was only attempting to get Ye Futian involved because of his hatred towards Ye Futian. However, at the moment, Starry School was going to crown the Son in front of the entire city. The brightest person in Divine Sky City was actually the person whom he hated the most. It was thus obvious how he would feel now.

Realizing that Ye Futian was walking up the stairs, Wang Yuqing was similarly stunned. Even her breath seemed to have stopped.

The Son of Starry School was Ye Futian?

At this instant, she could not help recalling the unparalleled cultivator in a silver cloak. A self-mocking smile actually appeared on her face.

Was it him? The Son was Ye Futian. What did this mean?

Life was indeed like a dream.

Long Mu stared firmly at the back of Ye Futian who was walking up the platform, but in his heart, he was only shouting, Why?!

Three days ago, Chief Chen had announced himself that he was going to confer someone the title of the Son, and would invite the entire Divine Sky City to come and observe the ceremony. That time, many people guessed if it would be Long Mu, but he knew that it was unlikely. After all, her aunt had never mentioned anything like this to him before. Nevertheless, he still hoped that it would be him.

At the moment when Chief Chen invited the Son up the stage, he knew that it was not him. However, he still did not think that it would be Ye Futian. He could not help thinking about Jin Yunxiao’s words. It seemed like Madame Long had been bringing Ye Futian with her these few days really because she was trying to help him; she was helping him to become the Son.

He turned around and looked in Gu Clan’s direction. Gu Hanshan had a smile on his face and did not seem to be surprised at all. Clearly, he had already known the result.

Then, Long Mu looked at Gu Yunxi. At the moment, Gu Yunxi was somewhat shocked as she gazed at Ye Futian. After the initial surprise, however, her charming face was only filled with delight. She was obviously happy for Ye Futian. From her face, Long Mu could even vaguely see some admiration, an expression which she had never displayed in front of him.

Gu Yunxi was clearly elated and her face was filled with a bright smile. She thought that Ye Futian had been humiliated in the martial arts battlefield. However, it turned out that he had been lying to her. Of course, she knew that since the Son was Ye Futian, the mysterious person in the silver cloak in the martial arts battlefield was obviously him as well.

So he was not only adept in music, but also very outstanding in martial arts.

Everyone present could feel their hearts racing. When Ye Futian reached the top of the stairs and turned around slowly, everyone stared attentively at him.

“Brother Futian!” Long Ling’er blinked her pure eyes, after which she started giggling. It turned out that the Son was Ye Futian.

“Crown the Son,” Chief Chen announced officially. The two sages walked forward and put the brilliant robe and dazzling crown on Ye Futian themselves. It was indeed truly glorious.

“Thank you, seniors.” Ye Futian bowed to show his gratitude. The two sages smiled and stepped back again.

Then, with the holy crown on his head and the holy robe on his body, Ye Futian faced everyone directly. At this instant, he seemed to have gathered an endless amount of glory on him, and the already handsome he looked even more elegant. The holy crown and robe displayed his heroism perfectly as if he was destined to enjoy such an honor.

Sunlight poured onto Ye Futian’s body, adding to the sacred environment.

The faces of Jin Yunlang and Jin Yunxiao, on the other hand, were extremely dark, perhaps even gloomy.

Looking at Ye Futian, Zhen Rong recalled the scene in Celestial Pavilion. She was all-superior and asked Ye Futian to seize the opportunity to become her battle servant.

Chen Liu also asked Ye Futian to join Blazing Sun School.

How about now?

Starry School was granting him the position of the Son in front of the whole city. He had defeated all the other geniuses in the martial arts battlefield and gained all the martial arts fate. Then, he even caused the battlefield to collapse and tricked everyone else.

At the moment, he looked bright and glorious.

Battle servant?

Follow them?

Now, Ye Futian’s status was already no lower than them. In some sense, it was even higher than theirs.

The Coronation Ceremony today represented the attitude of Starry School. The school was recognizing Ye Futian as the absolute core of this generation and the leader of all disciples. Perhaps he would even be the next ruler of Starry School. On the other hand, the others were not even heirs in their families.

In the young generation of Divine Sky City, nobody would be able to have a status higher than Ye Futian.

Wang Yurou was also in the crowd. Standing at an isolated corner, she looked at the elegant figure on the stage and sighed in her heart. Some people would always be in the limelight regardless of where they were. Ye Futian was like this in Yunyue City, and still so in Divine Sky City.

Shen Yu opened her mouth, unable to remain calm. The Son who was being crowned today was actually the owner.

Thinking about what she said to Ye Futian before she left for the ceremony, she did not know whether to laugh or be upset. Then, she recalled the day on which she first met Ye Futian. That time, he could not even afford to stay in Celestial Pavilion. All these really looked like but a dream.

Chief Chen walked to Ye Futian. Standing side by side with Ye Futian, he said loud and clear, “Today, Ye Futian will be the first Son of Starry School. All of you are witnesses. From today on, Ye Futian will be the leader of all Starry School disciples. When you see him, it’s like seeing me. All of you shall give him full respect.”

Countless people were astonished. Seeing Ye Futian was like seeing the chief. Such treatment had already exceeded what a disciple should receive.

Becoming the first Son was a glory that even Long Yitian did not enjoy in the past.

Was Chief Chen hoping to create another Long Yitian in Starry School?

Gu Hanshan and Madame Long both witnessed the historic moment and stared at Ye Futian. Would he become the next Long Yitian and stand at the peak of Divine Sky City for a generation? They were looking forward to it.

This day was only the beginning of everything.

Suddenly, at the most inappropriate time possible, someone shouted in a low tone, “I refuse to accept!” Many people were surprised and turned their heads to look at the Starry School disciples. Then, they saw the person who just spoke.

It was Long Mu, the son of Long Yitian, and also the next ruler of Dragon Clan.

“Mu’er…” Madame Long looked at Long Mu. She knew that Long Mu would probably be unhappy about this, as she had already felt it from Long Mu’s attitude on Long Ling’er birthday. Long Mu was arrogant and had always thought that Ye Futian was inferior. On the assessment day of Starry School, he even verbally insulted Ye Futian publicly, saying that Ye Futian was not entitled to interfere with the Dragon Clan’s issues.

At the moment, she pushed Ye Futian onto the position of the Son herself. How would Long Mu not have any feelings about it? After all, he was even beaten by Ye Futian in the martial arts battlefield.

“Aunt.” Long Mu bowed at Madame Long. He knew that he should not stand out to question the decision, but he still could not tolerate it. Looking at Chief Chen and Ye Futian, he continued, “There are tens of thousands of disciples in Starry School. Without any assessment, an outsider has conferred the position of the Son. I cannot accept this.” Then, he bowed gently. However, after that, he still held his head high.

Countless people stared at Long Mu. They could also understand his emotions at the moment. On the assessment day, there was some conflict between Long Mu and Ye Futian. Long Mu, who had an excellent background, did not place any importance on Ye Futian, even though Madame Long liked Ye Futian.

However, at the moment, Ye Futian had snatched everyone’s attention and was far more outstanding than him. Long Mu was the son of Long Yitian, but now Chief Chen was conferring Ye Futian the position of the Son personally, and he even held a ceremony for it. Chief Chen was viewing Ye Futian as the successor of Long Yitian. Furthermore, it was likely that Madame Long had played a part in catalyzing the decision.

In such a circumstance, Long Mu’s feelings could be easily imagined. Perhaps, he felt that something which belonged to him had been taken away.

“I refuse as well!” someone said in an extremely cold tone. In the crowd, a young man dressed in a gorgeous shirt stood out and stared at Ye Futian.

It was Jin Yunxiao.

This was somewhat surprising. Jin Yunxiao and Long Mu had always been unable to get along, but this time their attitudes were the same. They were both the top geniuses in Starry School and expressed their disagreement together.

Of course, the rest did not know that Jin Yunxiao stood out mainly because in the martial arts battlefield, the person in the silver cloak had asked him to kneel down and worship him.

At the moment, Jin Yunxiao had clearly also guessed that Ye Futian was probably the mysterious person. It was easy to see how he would feel.

Moreover, everyone knew that Long Mu and Jin Yunxiao were certainly not the only two people who would refuse to accept the decision.

There were too many geniuses in Starry School, from both the Arcana Plane and the Noble Plane. At the moment, the chief granted Ye Futian the title of the Son directly. How would those geniuses simply accept this?

Chief Chen and the sages of Starry School looked at the scene before them calmly. The sages did not say anything, regardless of whether they agreed or disagreed the decision. Since Chief Chen did so directly, he would definitely need to convince everyone.

It was sufficient for the juniors to speak up.

Chief Chen glanced at Long Mu and Jin Yunxiao. Then, he scanned everyone and said, “Today, I crown the Son and invite all of you to witness this. If the Son cannot defeat anyone in his generation, he will naturally not have the right to stand here. Today, whether you’re a Starry School disciple, or a person from the Top Three Schools, or even someone from Divine Sky City, as long as you question this decision, you can walk out. If anyone can prove that the Son is not worthy to enjoy this glory, it’ll all be my mistake.”

Then, he looked at Ye Futian and said, “If you want to wear the holy crown, you must withstand its weight. Go. Let the people of the world see the glory that belongs to you.”

“Yes!” Ye Futian nodded. With the holy crown and robe, he walked down the stairs step by step and stood in front of all the disciples!

Chapter 476: A Crushing Defeat

 

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

---

The Starry School’s disciples stepped back, leaving the space around Ye Futian, Long Mu, and Jin Yunxiao empty.

Today, Ye Futian would be crowned as the Son, and the College Chief had claimed that if anyone from the Top Three Schools or Divine Sky City who doubted Ye Futian could prove that he was unsuitable for the role, he would publicly admit that he was wrong. This was how confident he was in Ye Futian.

This meant that the moment someone in the same Plane who could defeat Ye Futian appeared, today’s ceremony would become a joke. It was not only the Son Ye Futian’s reputation that was at stake, but the College Chief and the entire Starry School’s reputation was also on the line.

Evidently, the College Chief believed that Ye Futian had the ability to stand above his entire generation.

All members of the Blazing Sun School and Bright Moon School stared at Ye Futian, be it the disciples or the elders. They had all guessed that Ye Futian was the mysterious person who had caused the Martial Arts Battlefield’s collapse. Why else would the College Chief be that confident to hold a coronation ceremony for Ye Futian, who was not even a member of his school previously? Only exceptional talent could make a Sage Plane expert go to this extent for him.

There was no question. It had to be the mysterious person clothed in silver.

They even wondered if Ye Futian was someone that the College Chief had secretly scouted, but kept a secret until he was able to officially announce it to the masses today. Regardless of what they thought, what was important was what Ye Futian had obtained from the Martial Arts Battlefield, and his current level potential and ability.

Perhaps it would all be revealed soon.

Countless gazes stared at the three figures in the middle. Long Mu and Jin Yunxiao glared at Ye Futian coldly. They had both had extremely domineering auras when they had met Ye Futian in the past. They were arrogant and did not pay any attention to Ye Futian, so their aura would naturally be headstrong. However, in front of Ye Futian who was clothed in the holy robes, there was no trace of the aura they used to have, and they could faintly feel Ye Futian’s oppressive aura. This was not just because of his change in identity, but also because they had been defeated by him in the Martial Arts Battlefield.

Undeniably, the martial arts fate in the Martial Arts Battlefield had a boosting effect on their strength, and they were unable to release their Spiritual Qi, so it was not an accurate representation of their actual battle ability. That was why even though they had once suffered defeat at his hands, they wanted to try again in a fair battle.

For Long Mu, he was battling for honor; for Jin Yunxiao, to restore his sullied reputation.

Ye Futian’s gaze landed on Long Mu and he said, “I know you haven’t been treating me as an equal, but that is just you in your own fantasy and I have not grudged you for that. You should know now that you cannot possibly defeat me if you choose to battle, are you ready to bear the consequences?”

Everyone who heard his words was dumbfounded. How confident was he, to say such a thing? Was he afraid that Long Mu would be unable to accept the result of their battle?

Long Mu’s expression became even colder, his fists clenched up. He knew what Ye Futian meant, if he chose to silently accept the coronation, everything would fade away with time. However, if he lost the challenge, he would be remembered by all.

“What about you, can you handle defeat?” Long Mu retorted frostily.

Ye Futian did not reply. He only tried to persuade Long Mu out of respect for Madame Long. Since the other party insisted on doing so, it was his choice.

“Let’s start,” Ye Futian declared.

A beast-like aura burst forth from Long Mu, and the visage of a divine golden dragon appeared on his back, accompanied by a pure-blooded dragon’s roar. It was a five-taloned golden dragon. There was a unique aura brooding in Long Mu’s body, the members of the West Mountain Dragon Clan had their ancestor’s dragon blood and inherited the dragon’s strength.

At the same time, dazzling flashes of purple lightning burst out from Ye Futian’s body. In an instant, the surroundings had turned into a lightning dimension, encompassing the entire area. A streak of lightning landed on Long Mu, but it was as though he did not feel anything. He launched off the ground with a bang and flew into the air, his arm grabbing at Ye Futian.

The five-taloned golden dragon roared and rushed towards Ye Futian, tearing through the air with its gargantuan body. At that moment, Ye Futian looked minuscule.

Ye Futian did not unleash his Life Spirit, he merely raised his arm, and all the streaks of lightning merged into one, forming a fearsome thunderstorm. The thunderstorm was reminiscent of the Thunder God’s shield, and as the golden dragon rushed towards it, it was sucked into the eye of the storm and torn to pieces by the lightning, its cry sounding out.

It was him indeed. Chen Wang from the Blazing Sun Academy saw the scene and confirmed his suspicions. Ye Futian was indeed the mysterious person.

Ye Futian had become like a Thunder God, shield in hand. This was the ability that the first Sage Plane expert in the ninth level of the Martial Arts Battlefield had used that day.

Long Mu hovered in the air, his hands shaking. He appeared to have been possessed by a divine dragon and assimilated with it. He did not use any flashy moves and dived straight down towards Ye Futian. The giant divine golden dragon charged at Ye Futian with overwhelming might, like a claw threatening to tear Ye Futian to shreds.

Ye Futian’s arm quivered and he looked into the air. The tremendous might of the lightning remained in the air and the Thunder God’s shield changed into rays of purple thunder with streaks of gold, surrounding the giant golden dragon. In an instant, lightning flooded the heavens and repeatedly struck the divine golden dragon. The dragon let out roars of agony as the Punishment of the Thunder God did not just have an exceptional offense, it also had a terrifying spiritual assault. However, on the dragon, Long Mu’s expression was focused and continued diving down. Ye Futian raised his arm and swishing sounds could be heard as countless vines appeared and entangled the giant dragon.

Following which, Ye Futian shook his arms and multiple golden palm prints appeared around him. These palm prints spun rapidly and eventually combined into one terrifying palm print. Ye Futian raised his hand towards the air and the giant palm print descended from the heavens and gripped the true-blooded dragon by its throat.

The giant dragon struggled under the two-pronged attack. Everyone could see Long Mu struggling and countless people were shocked. As expected, Long Yitian’s son Long Mu, prideful as he was, could not withstand a single blow from Ye Futian.

The giant palm print did not move an inch and continued its path downwards. The dragon’s body was driven into the ground with a giant crash, and the dragon’s shadow disappeared, causing Long Mu’s body to reappear.

It was a massacre.

Long Mu’s expression was pale. As he thought, the difference was the same as in the Martial Arts Battlefield. His ending was equally pitiful and his pride before this amounted to nothing.

Madame Long looked at Long Mu and sighed internally. Ye Futian would probably become a major turning point in Long Mu’s life. Hopefully Long Mu would be able to withstand it. If he did, his will would become even stronger.

Ye Futian did not look at Long Mu, his gaze moving towards Jin Yunxiao. Jin Yunxiao’s expression had already turned somber; Ye Futian had crushed Long Mu. Naturally, he would also not be a match for him.

Ye Futian’s battle ability was actually this strong. Would he be forever unable to get his revenge?

Bam. Just as he thought that Ye Futian’s body moved towards him and a formidable aura oozed from him. Roc wings immediately appeared behind Jin Yunxiao’s back and he retreated backward at breakneck speed. However, Ye Futian launched off the ground with the Thundering Illusion Step and after-images were left as he chased Jin Yunxiao.

Jin Yunxiao roared and his wings vibrated, shooting out countless sharp golden swords towards Ye Futian.

Bang. A group of meteorites’ light appeared around Ye Futian, revolving wildly. They contained tremendous destructive power, and the golden swords flying towards him were all shattered.

Seeing Ye Futian getting closer, Jin Yunxiao’s wings flapped once again, trying to escape. Ye Futian walked in the air, booming thunder sounding with each step he took. His body traversed the air, landing in front of Jin Yunxiao, the two of them looking as if they were going to collide. Jin Yunxiao’s expression darkened and his wings sharpened to their limit and tore through the air towards Ye Futian.

Ye Futian raised his arms and the revolving meteorites’ light circulated around his arms, warding off the wings’ attack. His palm stretched outwards and gripped Jin Yunxiao’s neck. With a jerk of his hand, his Thundering Illusion Step once again blasted off and the two of them headed downwards.

Crash! The sound of a huge collision could be heard as the floor shattered and Jin Yunxiao’s body was smashed into the ground by Ye Futian. Ye Futian looked mockingly at Jin Yunxiao, then released his grip and turned around to leave. In the Martial Arts Battlefield, Jin Yunxiao had slashed a light blade at him and he had remembered it. Since he wanted to be humiliated, Ye Futian would grant him that wish again.

Jin Yunxiao saw the scorn in Ye Futian’s eyes and his expression became especially grim. He was reminded of that scene in the Martial Arts Battlefield where he was forced to kneel on the ground. His eyes became red with anger and insanity.

Bam. His body bounced off the ground and a razor-sharp Roc blade appeared in his hand. It was like a Roc had appeared from the heavens and was headed straight for Ye Futian.

Ye Futian’s footsteps stopped and he frowned.

“How dare you!” an elder from the Starry School Academy berated. The Jin Clan’s elders were also frowning, did Jin Yunxiao know what he was doing?

Humm. Before Ye Futian had moved, a figure rushed out from the crowd like a blade and passed by him. It was a figure with only one arm, he drew his blade and slashed towards Jin Yunxiao’s sword strike. In an instant, tens of thousands of light blades appeared in the air and culminated in one point, striking the Roc’s shadow and shattering it.

The sword continued forward and the light blades merged into one at the tip of the Alkaid and stabbed the Roc blade. Waves of intimidating sword Qi flowed down the Roc blade onto Jin Yunxiao’s body.

At that moment, Jin Yunxiao felt as though there were tens of thousands of sword wills circulating around his body. His expression turned pale and he dropped his sword, only to be greeted with an icy blade pointed at his throat. If the blade had gone a millimeter further, it could have taken his life.

“Doubting him? Do you even have the right to?” A cold voice sounded from the lone-armed figure, piercing Long Mu and Jin Yunxiao’s hearts like blades.

Chapter 477: Dominating the Generation

Be it Long Mu or Jin Yunxiao, their attitudes in front of Ye Futian was all captured by Ye Wuchen: Arrogant. Apathetic. Opinionated.

Even on the day of the school’s examination, when Ye Futian revealed his extraordinary potential, their attitudes remained the same. What right did they have to be so self-centered?

To Long Mu and Jin Yunxiao, apart from their superior family background, they had a strong battle ability and phenomenal potential. Yet to Ye Wuchen and Yu Sheng, their supposed potential and battle ability was only because Ye Futian did not get serious with them. The only thing that they could rely on was their background. Today, at Ye Futian’s crowning, the two of them dared to doubt him? Were they even qualified?

Jin Yunxiao even dared to use a Sage ritual implement to launch a sneak attack. Adding on to the sword slash in the Martial Arts Battlefield, if they did not have any apprehensions, Jin Yunxiao would have a blade in his throat now.

Feeling an icy feeling coming from his throat, a drop of blood appeared at Jin Yunxiao’s throat. His entire body was shivering, not only from the fear of nearly losing his life but also the humiliation. He had the advantage of a Sage ritual implement, yet even Ye Futian’s follower Ye Wuchen could kill him with one slash. If this was a life-and-death duel, the blade would have already taken his life.

The Starry School’s genius, the Jin Clan’s prodigy? From today onwards, Jin Yunxiao would no longer be able to lift his head in public.

Many people looked at the handsome lone-armed figure and recalled the day of the examination when Yu Sheng and Jin Yunxiao clashed. If Ye Futian had not stopped Yu Sheng that day, would Jin Yunxiao already have been defeated?

“Get back here.” An expert from the Jin Clan shouted at him. Jin Yunxiao’s expression was ashen, he stared menacingly at Ye Wuchen and Ye Futian before stepping back.

Ye Wuchen stared at him expressionlessly, yet he suddenly heard an expert from the Jin Clan say coldly, “Although the duel has no rules against ritual implements, as a disciple of the Starry School, how can you have no values? Go back and reflect on your actions.”

Ye Futian’s nonchalant gaze swept across the expert, and he smirked, would there need to be a rule in such an official duel? Jin Yunxiao had already lost and still used the Sage ritual implement to launch a sneak attack.

The expert from the Jin Clan appeared to be berating Jin Yunxiao but was actually protecting him. However, no one cared to criticize the Jin Clan. Their attention was all on the lone-armed swordsman who had already stepped off the stage and was quietly standing among the crowd.

Long Mu had also silently left the arena with a heavy heart.

Now, everyone’s attention gathered once again onto Ye Futian. Donning the holy robes, he defeated the geniuses of the Starry School Long Mu and Jin Yunxiao with just a few strikes.

He was in the fifth level of the Arcana Plane, but in the Middle Arcana Plane, there was probably no one who could defeat him.

Ye Futian continued forward, looked at the crowd and said, “My cultivation level may be low, but the College Chief has graciously crowned me as the Son. There are innumerable experts in the Divine Sky City, and every generation has its geniuses. Even in the Starry School, there are too many disciples who have higher cultivation levels than me. Thus, I know it is hard to convince all of you.”

The crowd’s gaze looked towards Ye Futian. Today was his coronation and the last thing he should be as humble, or the hype that the College Chief had created for him would be wasted. So why was he saying this?

“However,” Ye Futian continued, “since I have been given the holy crown, naturally I have to bear its weight. To not let down the name of the Starry School’s Son, I, Ye Futian am willing to accept a challenge from all the Middle Arcana Plane cultivators in the Divine Sky City. If there is anyone who wishes to challenge me, you can step onto the arena. If I am defeated, I will have sullied the Son’s name, and I will take off the holy crown and remove the holy robes.” After saying all this, Ye Futian’s gaze swept across the crowd and he said, “I anticipate your challenges.”

Although his voice was not loud, it struck everyone’s hearts like thunder. The air was filled with silence and countless gazes fell onto Ye Futian. His holy robes swayed although there was no wind, and his hair flew freely. His handsome face was calm, yet prideful.

Being humble? They were too naive.

Ye Futian wanted to challenge the entire Divine Sky City’s Middle Arcana Plane experts with his fifth level of the Arcana Plane cultivation level. This included the Blazing Sun School’s geniuses, the Bright Moon School’s geniuses and even the members of clans.

Challenging every single one of them! It was as though he was affirming the College Chief’s desire since he was crowned the Son, he should dominate his generation. He would stand at the top of the hundreds of thousands of people.

What an insane notion. Even a genius in the Upper Arcana Plane would probably not dare to say such words. If all the Middle Arcana Plane experts joined forces, it would be an intimidating force to deal with. A sea of spells could drown an Upper Arcana Plane expert.

The College Chief looked at Ye Futian. Since he had organized today’s coronation ceremony for Ye Futian and invited the masses to watch, he was pushing Ye Futian towards them for him to withstand the pressure. When Long Yitian had risen up, it was also through crushing all his opponents all the way to the top.

Ye Futian had received the divine teachings, so if he wanted to reach the end goal, he would have to dominate his generation and reach the pinnacle. The other matters would be settled by them.

This time, Ye Futian was recommended to him by Madame Long and Gu Hanshan, so they would naturally have to bear the pressure together with the Starry School. Today, they would witness how far Ye Futian could go, and if he was worthy of their expectations.

“Since the Son has such an idea, do you not want to witness it yourself?” an important figure in the Starry School said suddenly. It was an expert from the Jin Clan, and in an instant, many experts stepped into the arena.

“You all should also go and experience his strength for yourselves.” The elders from the Blazing Sun School and Bright Moon School also followed suit.

The two other schools also had numerous experts. Now that the Starry School wanted to create a Son, they would naturally want to ruin the plan. Since Ye Futian wanted to challenge everyone, they would grant him that wish.

“Chen Liu.”

“Zhen Rong.”

“Jin Yu.”

So many experts. This was the thought in many people’s heads. The Top Three Schools and the major clans all had geniuses in the Middle Arcana Plane that were not inferior to Jin Yunxiao. At this moment, they had all stepped out. Adding on all the people that had walked out from the crowd, a terrifying alliance surrounded the arena.

“They’re really going to join forces,” someone in the crowd said.

Geniuses all had their own pride, but at this moment, they had all put down their pride and joined forces to battle Ye Futian.

From watching Long Mu and Jin Yunxiao’s defeat, they had probably realized that defeating Ye Futian alone was not realistic.

“Please,” Ye Futian emotionlessly said, and a few figures flew out from the crowd. One person flew into the air with an imposing sword will, as though he was one with his sword. One slash of the sword and a brilliant glow appeared from the heavens.

Another person specialized in spells and gathered a terrifying hurricane around hi, flying straight towards Ye Futian. The roared typhoon was sharper than knives or blades and could tear a person’s body to shreds.

Yet another person released his Life Spirit, revealing an intimidating giant golden ape. It flew down from the heavens, as though trying to crush space itself. The giant golden ape’s footprint crushed its way down, trying to erase the being below it.

As the wind blew, Ye Futian’s holy robes billowed. He stood on the spot and raised his head, looking in the air.

As the giant golden ape’s footprint got closer, he stretched out his palm and countless thunderbolts formed. In the air, a thunder dragon’s shadow appeared, biting the giant ape, horrifying thunderbolts coursing through its body, causing it to become paralyzed. He then shrugged his arm and the ape’s body was shrugged by the dragon into the ground.

The typhoon and light blade descended at the same time. Ye Futian stretched out his other hand and countless flashes of lightning formed the Thunder God’s shield in front of him, swallowing the light blades and fighting the typhoon.

“Go.” As he moved his arm, the Thunder God’s shield turned into countless thunderbolts. The Punishment of the Thunder God’s spell instantly swallowed everything and struck the hurricane in the air, causing the expert to grunt as he was struck by the thunderbolt and cough up blood. The swordsman avoided the attack like a blade, however, the Fatal Entanglement was faster and covered the skies, grabbing straight at his body, pulling him downwards and smashing him into the ground.

Seeing the three people being defeated in an instant, many experts in the arena stepped forward. The Spiritual Qi in the air appeared to have been drained dry and in an instant, numerous spells descended and several figures stepped into the air, a neverending barrage of spells landing from the skies, attempting to drown Ye Futian within.

The crowd stared intently at Ye Futian. How was he going to deal with thousands of spells?

Ye Futian looked into the air, an awe-inspiring Qi flow around him. He stretched out both arms like he was lifting up a piece of the earth. In an instant, meteorites started to appear in the surroundings and revolved around Ye Futian’s body. Within the meteorites, there appeared to be countless sandstorms, thunderstorms, hurricanes, just like an operating planet. When the spells descended, they were all blocked out and trapped within the sandstorms, drowned in the thunder and lightning.

“What is that spell?” Many people felt confused and even the elders were shocked. The Starry School had some strong star spells, but they had never seen this spell. Could it be something that the College Chief had recently created?

This spell was naturally not from the Starry School’s cultivation. Back in the Cottage, Ye Futian had learned many spells from the old fellow. This was one of the extremely strong spells that he learned, combining multiple elements and was named Quicksand Storm. It was an exceptional group combat spell that had high requirements in one’s Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Qi control.

After Ye Futian had deciphered the sage martial fate and the divine light’s ability, he made changes to the Quicksand Storm and included the star’s revolution in it.

The new spell that was created should be named Meteorite Storm.

In the air, the Meteorite Storm revolved rapidly, like the stars in the sky. It swallowed everything in its path and the experts in the air experienced an extremely strong gravity trying to pull them into the storm. All their spells were all buried within.

Ye Futian stretched out both his palms and waved them towards the air. In an instant, the Meteorite Storm moved towards the air, its destructive power sweeping everything in its way. The experts in the air started to escape frantically, yet they continue to be struck down, either by the meteorites colliding with their body or the storm cutting through them. Many of them started to vomit blood and in an instant, the strong alliance fell to pieces.

Ye Futian felt that it was a pity. His cultivation level was low, so his control over the spell was limited. Otherwise, the spell could continue to become stronger and its true power would be able to match the heavens and level everything in creation!

Everyone stared at the prideful figure standing there in dismay. He was too strong, just a single spell could cause all those experts to become injured. The spell’s destructive force was appalling.

Boom. At that moment, a figure descended like a flash of lightning. The figure stepped forward and the heavens rumbled, like a mountain crashing down upon Ye Futian who had just finished casting his spell. His brilliant eyes glancing at the other person, Ye Futian’s palm stretched out, his Spiritual Qi culminating into the form of a rod.

Golden rays of light shot out suddenly and the crowd saw Ye Futian’s body quiver. On his back, a pair of giant Roc wings appeared, like a Roc king attached to him. His wings shuddered and a golden storm started to erupt. Ye Futian’s body slowly rose into the air, the golden rod in his hand striking out. The golden light pierced the heavens and with a deafening bang, the mountain was split in two and the rod collided with the figure, sweeping it back.

“Do it.” Multiple figures appeared simultaneously and headed towards Ye Futian.

Ye Futian stepped into the air and flashes of lightning appeared. The speed of the Thundering Illusion Step combined with the Roc wings was breakneck. It was as though he teleported in front of a person and his rod struck out with no hesitation. Another resounding crack and another person crashed into the ground.

Bang, bang, bang…. Following that, the crowd could only see Ye Futian’s phantom, and few in the Arcana Plane could track his movements. They could only see people continuing to be pummeled into the ground and the sound of them hitting the ground.

In an instant, there were already over ten people in the ground. The dazzling figure flew upwards and appeared in the air, its golden wings flapping gently, perfectly fitting into its aura. Compared to him, Jin Yunxiao would probably feel inferior.

The members of the Jin Clan had extremely piercing gazes. Ye Futian actually had the Roc Life Spirit as well.

Tchh… A brilliant light slashed towards him and the crowd looked towards the air. They saw Chen Liu leading a group of Chen Clan geniuses in slashing the Sun Sword. The glows from the Sun Swords intersected and formed a fearsome sword spectrum which slashed towards Ye Futian like domineering sun rays.

Hissssss… When the Sun Swords collided with Ye Futian, his body ignited and the hungry flames turned into a brilliant light veil, circulating around his body. The flames on his body were blazing like a sun and his body the vessel for the sun. The flames threatened to burn everything to ashes and the Sun Swords actually assimilated within the flames’ energy.

In that instant, a sun appeared behind Ye Futian, hanging high up in the sky, its rays blinding.

“A second Life Spirit,” the crowd murmured to themselves, with the Sun Spirit, he would be impervious to the flames. His body was like the sun’s vessel, able to burn everything. At the same time, within the sun, a symbol of flames appeared. Ye Futian was like the Fire God, he took a step forward and the flame symbol shot out multiple light beams towards all directions.

Chen Liu and his clan members felt an extremely strong flame energy, and they all released their Life Spirit Dharmas to combat it.

In the air, the unparalleled figure swung the rod like the visage of a Divine Ape. The rod in Ye Futian’s hands continued to grow bigger and turned into a giant golden rod. The rod continued its rampage, and the skies stormed.

Fwoosh. The golden wings flickered and Ye Futian stormed forward with the rage of the heavens. Chen Liu and his clan members could feel the impending pressure and their faces paled. They saw Ye Futian swing out with his rod, and the shadow of the rod grew at an alarming rate. A golden rod that could rival the skies in length appeared, and with an ear-splitting bang, the air itself appeared to be shaking. Chen Liu and his clan members started to vomit blood, and their bodies fell to the ground.

The group was swept to the ground. Ye Futian continued to step forward towards the direction where most of the crowd was, continuing to wield his rod. From the heavens, colossal shadows appeared and hammered down.

“Spread out!” someone shouted, and many people started to scatter in different directions, yet the rod continued to beat many people into the ground with irresistible force.

People from both sides of Ye Futian assaulted him and the sound of people clashing sounded out as Ye Futian’s Fatal Entanglement swathed them and threw them back.

Invincible. This was the thought of the onlookers outside the Starry School at that moment. Under the attack of that many experts, none of them could even withstand a single strike of Ye Futian’s rod. He was strong beyond belief.

Today Ye Futian was crowned the Son of the Top Three Schools and bestowed with the holy robes. This meant that he would stand at the peak of his generation with no rival. Zhen Rong was also among those participating in the battle. She was swept to the ground with one strike, blood streaming from her mouth. However, what made her really feel humiliation was that Ye Futian did not even look her in the eye when he injured her with his strike. It was as though to him, the young lady of the Zhen Clan was just a passerby and not deserving of his attention.

Not just her, but there was no shortage of famed geniuses that took part in the battle of the Top Three Schools, yet no matter who it was, no matter how famous they were usually, how strong they were, they were all decimated.

From the start of the battle, not much time had gone by, yet the hundreds of experts that had joined in the battle had all been defeated. In the air, the battle came to a halt. Donned in holy robes and wearing the holy crown, Ye Futian hovered in the air, his wings shining brilliantly, his gaze sharp, looking down upon the crowd.

“Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge me?” Ye Futian’s gaze swept across the massive crowd. There was an ample amount of experts, yet not one of them could stand up to Ye Futian. In fact, none of them could even face him in battle; they were all brushed off.

Within the crowd, Wang Yurou stared intently at the figure with a sense of helplessness. He had been like this in Yunyue City as well, even now, when he was facing the geniuses of the Divine Sky City, nobody could mar his brilliance.

In another location, three figures squeezed within the crowd. The skinny teen smiled, blinking and said, “Little brother is still so suave.”

“Looks like his days have gotten even more enriching without us seniors to watch over him.” Another handsome teen nodded his head and smiled.

The fat teen stood at the back, watching the outstanding figure and thought back to his own days. There was no comparison, his life was simply too pitiful.

“Since the founding of the Top Three Schools, this is the first time they’ve crowned a Son. Since the Starry School is the first to start off this tradition, the Son that they’ve crowned should dominate the entire plane in order to receive such preferential treatment. Why should the fights be limited to only the Middle Arcana Plane? Moreover, I’ve heard that you revealed the strength of an Upper Arcana Plane cultivator at the Evil Dragon Zone,” an expert from the Blazing Sun School said. Ye Futian sweeping his entire generation and none of the disciples of the Top Three Schools being a match for him was nothing to the Starry School, but the Blazing Sun School and the Bright Moon School would lose face.

Many people had stunned expressions. Geniuses were plentiful in the Top Three Schools. For an Upper Arcana Plane to challenge the fifth level of the Arcana Plane was a bit of a bully. However, many people were unfamiliar with what happened at the Evil Dragon Zone, but they knew that one’s cultivation level could not be forged. Ye Futian was indeed in the fifth level of the Arcana Plane.

“Shameless,” Long Ling’er said disdainfully.

Ye Futian’s gaze shifted in the direction of the Blazing Sun School and replied, “If the Blazing Sun School wishes to challenge me with an Upper Arcana Plane disciple, go ahead.”

Bam. They saw a figure stand up and step forward. Many people’s expressions became dumbfounded when they saw the person who had stepped out.

“Shameless!” Long Ling’er’s face turned red in anger as she repeated herself. The person who had stepped forward from Chen Wang from the Chen Clan, a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Arcana Plane. He himself was also a prodigy, the difference between the two of them was too great.

Chen Wang stared cruelly at Ye Futian. In the ninth level of the Martial Arts Battlefield, he was defeated in one blow by Ye Futian. At that time, Ye Futian had martial arts fate surrounding him, but not this time.

In an instant, the sun’s flames enveloped Chen Wang’s body, causing it to become extremely dazzling. He released his Life Spirit Dharma and a sun appeared. Within the sun, there was the statue of a Divine Sun Bird, the Three-legged Golden Raven.

An awe-inspiring aura circulated around Chen Wang’s body and wings of flames appeared on his back, firing beams of light towards Ye Futian. In the air, flames from the sun descended from the skies and gathered around his body, causing the flames around his body to burn even brighter, as though he was one with the sun.

He stretched out his arm and the flames turned into an intimidating sun god sword, the flames that it was giving off was strong enough to burn any Middle Arcana Plane expert to ashes. Many people felt worried for Ye Futian. He was easily taunted into accepting the Blazing Sun’s challenge, they felt it was a rash decision on his part. The Blazing Sun School did not pull their punches and sent out Chen Wang to battle him.

Ye Futian’s body continued to hover in the air, thunder, and lightning at his feet. At that moment, Chen Wang leaped forward and the sun shined down on him, merging with his body and blazing Ye Futian’s body with a piercing glow. He struck at Ye Futian with the sun god sword in a straightforward manner.

Bang! Ye Futian kicked off the ground and his Thundering Illusion Step allowed him to rapidly change places. The blade of light slashed towards the Starry School in the distance, where an expert stepped in and an invisible barrier stopped the blade of light from progressing.

Chen Wang let out a grunt and moved at an equally speedy pace, heading straight for Ye Futian. He slashed out yet again and the blade of light appeared to transform into the sun’s rays, reaching in an instant. However, Ye Futian had already predicted the lightspeed attack and he avoided it yet again with his Thundering Illusion Step, leaving the destruction of the sun’s rays to the experts to stop.

Chen Wang frowned. He had not expected Ye Futian’s reaction to be that quick. He stepped foot into the air once again, countless rays spilling off his body. In the air, he slashed out with his sword, this time multiple blades of sun rays were released, leaving Ye Futian with nowhere to dodge.

Ye Futian stared at the oncoming attack, his Freedom Meditation at work. He had obtained the sage legacy and had three divine lights. These three divine lights mirrored the Top Three Schools’ abilities. Chen Wang was the genius of the Chen Clan and cultivated in the Blazing Sun School. His expertise was the sun’s flames, so he naturally mastered the Blazing Sun’s abilities. Ye Futian wanted to observe Chen Wang’s cultivation methods.

Just then, blades of sun rays shot towards him, encircling the entire area he was in. Every blade of sun ray contained immense destructive power. In his body, an equally fearsome light was circulating. In an instant, many meteorites appeared and gathered around his body, circulating frantically. Each one of these meteorites appeared to have a dazzling light that glowed and faded, just like a star, like constellations circulating around Ye Futian’s body!

Chen Wang’s sun sword struck forth and waves of light blades rushed within the circulating meteorites, each sun ray blade containing immense destructive power, threatening to drown out the meteorites. However, when the light on the meteorites glowed, the sun’s flames would extinguish. When the waves of sun ray blades had completely been warded off, the meteorite formation around Ye Futian’s body was still there.

Chen Wang’s expression froze. His attack was not able to break through Ye Futian’s defenses? How could his ability be so strong? It was similar to the meteorite storm from before, yet different. It was like a mini starry dimension.

Ye Futian opened his arms and stood in the center of the dimension, as though the entire starry dimension revolved around him. There was an extremely brilliant glow circulating around his body, intersecting with the light from the meteorites, as though he had created an indestructible dimension.

Ye Futian’s eyes were sparkling. His body moved forward and the dimension moved together with him towards Chen Wang. Chen Wang leaped through the air, swords in both hands, the sun’s rays firing down. Boundless Spiritual Qi resonated with him at that moment, slashing towards Ye Futian. The blades of light appeared to drown out everything else on their way to Ye Futian.

Fizzle, fizzle… The meteorites around Ye Futian ignited, becoming fireballs and exploding into pieces. Many people were astounded, was this slash finally going to cut through him?

Eventually, the sun blades’ destructive power came to a halt. Ye Futian emotionlessly gazed at Chen Wang, the meteorites that had been shattered coming back together again, continuing to circulate around him. Ye Futian gradually moved closer to Chen Wang.

Chen Wang’s expression paled slightly. His sun’s blades appeared to have a Three-legged Golden Raven merged within, and he lashed out with an even stronger force. However, the ending was the same. He was still unable to break through the meteorite storm.

Ye Futian was already there. Chen Wang started to retreat, but he saw Ye Futian take a step forward, his body teleporting through the air, landing in front of Chen Wang. Although Chen Wang’s cultivation level was higher than Ye Futian, his teleportation speed was slower. His already pale expression turned even paler, and he slashed his blade rapidly, but Ye Futian continued to get even closer. As the meteorites exploded under the force of the blades of light, Chen Wang’s body entered the same dimension that Ye Futian was in. He had been trapped in the meteorite storm.

Hummm… Ye Futian moved his arm and countless meteorites smashed towards Chen Wang’s body. Chen Wang’s sword slashed at the meteorites frantically, and a rapid clashing sound could be heard. At that moment, a shining meteorite shattered the sun blade and collided with Chen Wang.

Pshhhhh… A stream of blood burst out from Chen Wang’s mouth and his body arched inwards from the impact. Ye Futian did not stop there, he balled up his fingers into a fist and meteorites descended rapidly. The crowd saw Chen Wang’s body being pulverized by the continuous impact and blood streamed from his mouth.

“That’s enough.” A cold voice sounded from the direction of the Blazing Sun School. Ye Futian waved his arm and with a loud bang, Chen Wang was slammed into the ground, hanging on to his last breath and covered in blood.

Ye Futian’s eyes were blazing, yet his aura was cold. Since they had insisted he battle an Upper Arcana Plane expert, he would give them their just deserts. There would probably be no other challengers after this.

Among the silence, many people looked towards Chen Wang. The genius of the Blazing Sun School, the prodigy of the Chen Clan, standing at the pinnacle of the Arcana Plane. He had also stepped foot into the ninth level of the Martial Arts Battlefield, yet he had suffered such a crushing defeat.

Everyone understood that there would be no need for Ye Futian to prove himself after this battle. The Starry School’s Son Ye Futian was capable of dominating his generation. He could overcome the difference in cultivation level and defeat Chen Wang, who was at the pinnacle of the Arcana Plane. What more could they want from him?

Gu Hanshan and Madame Long looked at the teen standing in the air. When Long Yitian was still young, he had not been this outstanding. Today, Ye Futian was pushed up to the position of Son by them, and the College Chief had pushed him even higher in hopes that he could become the next Long Yitian. However, from what they saw today, they understood that he had the potential to achieve even more.

The Sage plane experts from the Starry School also looked towards Ye Futian. They did not completely agree with the College Chief’s decision previously, and they even had their objections. Now, it seemed that the College Chief had his reason for doing so, he wanted to create a legend that could overwhelm the entire generation. However, the experts of the Starry School also understood that to create such a legend would put them under immense pressure. Back then, it had been the same for Long Yitian.

The Starry School’s College Chief kept a poker face, so nobody could tell what he was thinking.

“Is there anyone else with objections?” the College Chief asked. He then proceeded to say, “If there are any Noble Plane disciples within my Starry School that remain unconvinced and can do better than him, you can replace him.”

The Starry School’s disciples all fell silent. Being able to sweep the entire plane at the fifth level of the Arcana Plane, who among the Arcana Plane had the ability to do better? Even in the Noble Plane, who could perform better than what Ye Futian had? At this moment, everyone understood that there would only be witnesses, no more challengers.

“What did you obtain in the Martial Arts Battlefield’s Divine Chamber?” Someone from the Blazing Sun School broke the silence.

When Ye Futian was battling Chen Wang, there was a dazzling glow surrounding him. They had all felt a strong, mysterious power. What was Ye Futian’s reward for stepping into the Divine Chamber on the ninth level of the Martial Arts Battlefield that made the Starry School’s Sage plane experts crown him as their Son?

Many people’s expressions turned interesting. They had already guessed that Ye Futian was the mysterious person, but now that an elder from the Blazing Sun School had popped the question, it was finally time for the truth to be revealed. This exceptional teen had caused the Martial Arts Battlefield to crumble a few days ago.

“I have nothing to say to that.” Before Ye Futian had the chance to answer, the Starry School’s College Chief had already replied.

“The Martial Arts Battlefield is guarded by all Three Top Schools. Now, this young one has caused the Martial Arts Battlefield to collapse, we’ve lost a land of opportunity. The Starry School has crowned him as your Son, so how are we going to settle the issue of the Martial Arts Battlefield collapsing?” the expert from the Blazing Sun School retorted. The crowd’s interest was piqued, now that Ye Futian had shown his exceptional talent, the two other schools would know that they were unable to cause trouble at the coronation, so they were using the Martial Arts Battlefield as an excuse to create trouble

Now the Starry School had their own Son, and he had taken all of the Martial Arts Battlefield’s martial arts fate. The Blazing Sun School and Bright Moon School were naturally displeased.

“For thousands of years, the disciples of the Top Three Schools have entered the Martial Arts Battlefield to fight for the martial arts fates and raise their cultivation level. It has always been survival of the fittest, I see no issue to settle,” an expert from the Starry School also spoke up. From his perspective, it was a ludicrous request.

“If the Martial Arts Battlefield was still around, we could still maintain the survival of the fittest. However, he has caused the Martial Arts Battlefield to collapse. Should you not give us an explanation for that?” the Blazing Sun School’s expert retorted.

“That’s right, the Martial Arts Battleground is a land of opportunity belonging to the Divine Sky City. Now that it has collapsed because of one person, and that person is the Starry School’s Son, the Starry School should account for it,” another person exclaimed.

“What explanation do you all want?” the Starry School’s College Chief coldly asked. When he crowned Ye Futian, he had expected that he would withstand pressure from the two other schools, but he did so anyway. Since Ye Futian had unrivaled potential, he would naturally have to withstand inhumane pressure. Today’s coronation reflected the College Chief’s attitude towards Ye Futian as well. Everything was done formally so that the other two schools would not underestimate Ye Futian’s position in the Starry School and use underhanded means to deal with him.

“Since he was able to obtain something, it’s his own fortune. However, the collapse of the Martial Arts Battlefield, the loss of a land of opportunity, requires an explanation by him. In the Divine Chamber, did he remove the item securing the martial arts fates in place?” an expert asked.

“So what if he did?” the College Chief replied bluntly.

“The Martial Arts Battlefield is jointly protected by the Top Three Schools. If he has removed the item securing the martial arts fates in place, it’s only right that he should return it,” the expert insisted.

“The battlefield has already collapsed, how can he return it?” Elder Nie said, “If you have anything that you want to say, just get to the point.”

“Since it’s protected by all three schools, naturally it should be owned by all three schools,” the Blazing Sun School finally expressed its objective.

There was silence in the air. Many people looked at the arguing key personnel of the top three schools. Ye Futian’s performance had been too phenomenal, so much so that even the Sage plane experts of the Blazing Sun School and Bright Moon School were unwilling to let him keep the treasure while being crowned as the Son of the Starry School. In the past, the Starry School had Long Yitian. Now, they had Ye Futian.

Pffff. From within the silent crowd, a laughing voice sounded out and it sounded especially clear. Many people’s gazes moved into the crowd, and they saw a teenage person standing within.

“Please carry on,” the teen saw many people looking at him and said, still laughing.

“What are you laughing at?” An apathetic voice sounded out from the direction of the Blazing Sun School. A Noble Plane disciple’s frosty gaze landed on the teen.

“I’ve long heard of the reputation of the Top Three Schools as the holy land of the Eastern Barren Territory. Passing by today, I decided to come and take a look, and it so happened to be the crowning of the Starry School’s Son. I’ve previously heard of the Martial Arts Battlefield, I did not think that items obtained from the battlefield could be shared between three parties. I found it interesting, so I laughed. Please forgive my intrusion.” Luo Fan smiled while speaking, having a flippant expression.

The crowd’s expression was funny. Was this fellow not afraid of offending them?

As expected, the Noble Plane disciple stepped out and walked towards Luo Fan. A Noble Plane’s might descended onto Luo Fan, and he cruelly said, “When the elders of the Top Three Schools are speaking, you have no right to interfere. Slap yourself and get lost.”

This Noble Plane expert was also from the Chen Clan. Chen Wang was his cousin, and the Chen Clan had lost face when he had been publicly defeated. Now, someone dared to quip in when the Sage plane experts of the Top Three Schools were conversing. The cheek of him.

Luo Fan was stunned, and replied, “I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?”

“Slap yourself.” Chen Yu continued forward with his horrifying might. The elders of the Starry School frowned, it seemed like Chen Yu was using this as an opportunity to damage the Starry School’s reputation.

“Senior, what should I do when I meet someone unreasonable?” Luo Fan turned to Xue Ye and asked.

“If he can’t be reasoned with, then use your fist,” Xue Ye replied.

“The other party has Sage Plane elders around, how can I be a match for him?” Luo Fan asked again.

“Teacher has said that the reason why Sage plane experts are able to reach that level is because of the magnanimity they have. Surely they would not interfere in a junior’s battle?” Xue Ye replied playfully.

“That’s true.” Luo Fan nodded his head seriously.

When the crowd heard that, they were dumbfounded. Chen Yu was a Noble plane expert from the Chen Clan. What would the difference be even if the Sage plane experts did not step in?

In the air, Ye Futian was dumbstruck and looked at Chen Yu with sympathy. Like he had predicted, it was the same familiar ruse!

Chapter 480: Good News

Ye Futian saw his fifth brother Luo Fan step out and he knew that Chen Yu was in trouble. Out of his many brothers and sisters, his big brother was stable and strong, his second sister ‘kind and gentle,’ his third brother prideful, sister Xing’er virtuous and caring, the only two jokers were his fourth brother Xue Ye and fifth brother Luo Fan. They were all here, as for the punching bag Yi Xiaoshi, he was automatically ignored by Ye Futian.

Fatties had no position to speak of.

This Chen Yu should be from the Chen Clan, he was probably not weak. Xue Ye and Luo Fan weren’t as awe-inspiring as third brother, but as disciples personally selected and taught by that old fellow, their strength would definitely be up to mark. After one year of not seeing them, they were likely to be even stronger.

Loulan Xue did a double take upon seeing Luo Fan and thought that Ye Futian’s other brothers were weirdos. The battle had not even started and he had already set a trap for Chen Yu. By first complimenting the Sage Plane experts, they would not be able to settle the score with him afterward.

“Ignorant. Get out here,” Chen Yu cruelly said. The Starry School wanted to interfere, but seeing as Luo Fan looked carefree, they did not step in but chose to watch the situation.

“Sure.” Luo Fan smiled and walked forward. The people around started to frantically step back and make way for him, Chen Yu was a Noble Plane expert and the damage he would do when battling would be on a larger scale. Very soon, there was no one around Luo Fan but the three brothers.

An even stronger flame will descended upon them. Chen Yu’s eyes contained a scary Flame Intent and the entire area was scorching like it was burning up. Chen Yu raised his hand and grabbed the flame current flowing in the air, and a giant flame palmprint formed instantly. It shadowed the heavens and headed straight for Luo Fan.

Luo Fan raised his arm. In it, there was a fire stick. He waved it around and it started to coil around like a flame whip, the flame current in the air started to cluster and with a flick of his whip, the flame palmprint was split from the middle.

Chen Yu hovered in the air, his arms waving. Countless fire-elemental Spiritual Qi formed currents and a flame world appeared in the skies.

A Noble Plane expert’s vigor was naturally much stronger than an Arcana Plane’s.

Chen Yu’s finger pointed towards Luo Fan and Sun Swords started to rain from the skies as if trying the destroy the entire area.

“Playing with fire?” Luo Fan laughed and his whip began to move. Along with its movement, a flame storm started to brew, like a flame dragon that could devour everything. It absorbed all the Sun Swords into itself, causing the flame dragon to become even more violent and terrifying while flying in Chen Yu’s direction.

Chen Yu’s expression turned solemn. All of a sudden, the flame dragon let out a furious roar and spit out all the Sun Swords, as if it was imitating his attack.

Chen Yu struck out with his palm, attempting to use his Blazing Sun Print to shatter the Sun Swords. However, the flame whip that spiraled towards him ignored his attempts to shield himself, and opened its mouth like a storm, attempting to swallow him. He stepped backward and the flame storm started to chase him all the way until he had retreated to where the Blazing Sun School’s experts were at. A three-legged Golden Raven shadow appeared on his body, its body covered in flames, allowing that terrible force to flood his body.

Booom… A vehement current swept past and Chen Yu repeatedly stepped back, looking flustered. This was when Luo Fan finally recalled his whip and stood there, smiling at him.

“I think it’s easier for you to slap yourself,” Luo Fan said, smiling. Chen Yu’s expression was especially somber.

“Who are you?” someone from the Blazing Sun School asked. Although Luo Fan and Chen Yu were just casually battling, Luo Fan had demonstrated extraordinary flame controlling ability.

“Just a cook, not worthy of mention,” Luo Fan smiled and replied.

Chen Yu looked coldly at him, was he mocking him for not even being able to defeat a cook?

“Fifth brother, that’s going too far,” Ye Futian addressed him while smiling.

Those who heard Ye Futian’s voice were astonished. Fifth brother? This person who had suddenly appeared was actually Ye Futian’s senior. It was no wonder that he mocked the Blazing Sun School’s actions just now.

“This is called being low-profile, unlike you….” Luo Fan looked at the brilliant Ye Futian disapprovingly and continued, “Luckily you did not lose face for any of our other brothers and sisters. Am I right, fourth?”

“I believe very much in our little brother,” replied Xue Ye.

“Fourth brother, you’ve become even more handsome,” Ye Futian smiled and said.

“That’s to be expected.” Xue Ye nodded as though it was something natural.

“Seventh brother, why have you gotten even fatter?” Ye Futian looked towards Yi Xiaoshi.

“Nonsense…” Yi Xiaoshi looked at Ye Futian with anger. He had evidently become thinner.

“Be more serious.” Luo Fan stared at Yi Xiaoshi, then turned towards the Starry School College Chief and said, “Elder, thank you for your kind treatment towards my little brother. Although this fellow’s potential may not be as high as mine, it’s still manageable, worthy of the position of Son. However, this little fellow is playful, so I hope that you can discipline him properly.”

The crowd was blushing in shame. Ye Futian’s strength was visible for all to see, yet Luo Fan actually said that Ye Futian’s potential was not as high as his and only manageable…. How could there be someone this shameless?

“Since the few of you are Ye Futian’s seniors, I believe your potentials are also exceptional. Since Ye Futian is crowned as our Son today, why not the rest of you enter our Starry School to cultivate?” Elder Nie asked. Although this person was a Middle Noble Plane cultivator, his personality was interesting.

“Do you still have Son positions?” Luo Fan asked and Elder Nie was stunned. Luo Fan then smiled and continued, “I’m just kidding, we’re low-profile and don’t like being bound to one place, so we won’t be cultivating in the Starry School. The only reason we’re here is to visit our little brother.”

“Okay, I understand.” Elder Nie nodded his head and did not pursue the matter. This fellow is really ‘low-profile’, he thought to himself.

“Alright, now that today’s coronation has come to an end, please take your leave.” The Starry School College Chief looked at the crowd and announced, ignoring what the Blazing Sun School’s experts said.

Some people looked at the College Chief and did not say anything. They probably understood that the most they could do today were to apply a little pressure to the Starry School. Since the College Chief had already done so, he would naturally not care. No matter how much they said would be to no effect.

The crowd started to stand up and leave the venue. The Chen Clan experts cruelly glared at Ye Futian and his friends, they likely already hated Ye Futian.

The rest of the people could not bear to leave and continued looking at Ye Futian. What had happened today was absolutely spectacular. Not long ago, nobody knew that Ye Futian was the Son. It was a huge surprise, even though he had already made a name for himself in the Martial Arts Battlefield, no one knew that it was him. The Celestial Pavilion’s owner, the mysterious person that had caused the collapse of the Martial Arts Battlefield, the Starry School’s Son. From now on, the Divine Sky City had another genius.

From within the crowd, Shen Yu looked at her Pavilion owner and left unwillingly. When Wang Yurou left, she turned her head back from time to time, thinking of what her sister could be thinking at this point in time.

When everyone had left, the bustle came to an end, leaving only the Starry School’s disciples. They looked at Ye Futian, speechless.

The disciples had mixed feelings, some were happy and others troubled. Gu Yunxi was naturally happy for Ye Futian, Li Man was also smiling, she had not expected the little fellow that she had met in the Evil Dragon Zone to be this strong, much stronger than her. However, it was ironic for Jiang Nan. He was now hiding within the crowd with a grim expression. Ye Futian could defeat even Chen Wang. Jin Yunxiao and Long Mu were not even on the same level as him, this left him in despair. Especially when he recalled all the times when he had ridiculed Ye Futian, every word he had said was grating to his ear.

“Brothers, why have you come?” Ye Futian naturally did not care about how others felt. He was surprised to see his brothers.

“Now that the Eastern Barren Territory has settled down and everything is on track. Big brother has broken through in his broadsword skills, so there’s nothing left for us to do and we decided to come to the Barren State,” Xue Ye explained and Ye Futian’s eyes lit up. He smiled while asking, “Big brother has advanced to the next level?”

“Yes.” Luo Fan nodded. “Not only did he advance to the next level, but he also got a beautiful girlfriend.”

“Who?” Ye Futian blinked and asked.

“Why don’t you guess?” Luo Fan smiled and looked at Ye Futian.

Ye Futian’s eyeballs rolled in their socket and he replied, “Goddess Wangyue?”

“Smart, as expected of the pretty lady killer.” Luo Fan complimented him. Thinking back on Ye Futian’s luck with girls back then, it was not something they could hope to achieve.

Ye Futian let out a brilliant smile. Back then his big brother had headed to the Moon Clan to prevent the Qin Dynasty’s invasion and Goddess Wangyue had moved into the Book Mountain.

Goddess Wangyue was a stunning beauty and still single, supporting his big brother to run the Book Mountain. His big brother was outstanding, at the time Ye Futian had felt that the two of them were well-matched, as expected, they were now together.

“When will their wedding be?” Ye Futian asked. If his big brother was getting married, he would definitely go back to attend the ceremony.

“I’m not sure.” Luo Fan shrugged. “Big brother still cares about teacher’s matters.”

Ye Futian’s smile froze on his face, and his expression became serious.

“That’s right, have you met third brother?” Luo Fan asked.

“I’ve seen him once,” Ye Futian replied, nodding. “Third brother is doing well now, he could probably have gone to break through his current cultivation level.”

“That’s good.” Xue Ye and the rest nodded.

“What is your relation to the person at the Evil Dragon Zone that day?” at that moment, an elder asked and looked at Ye Futian.

Ye Futian looked at that person, it was Master Yun who had gone to the Evil Dragon Zone that time. He smiled sheepishly and said apologetically, “I hope elder doesn’t blame my third brother.”

Master Yun glared at Ye Futian. Since the moment he saw him crowned as the Son, he knew that Ye Futian was the person who had snatched the Dragon Grass. But, what could he say? He could do nothing about it.

Within the crowd, Tan Zhong’s expression was unhappy. It turns out that the handsome scholar who had defeated him in the Evil Dragon Zone was Ye Futian’s third brother.

Ye Futian looked at the College Chief standing above the stairway. He had been busy talking with his brothers that he had forgotten the College Chief was around.

“You go ahead.” The College Chief did not say anything, bringing his people and leaving.

Gu Hanshan also stepped out, smiling and saying, “Little fellow, good luck in your cultivation.”

“Thank you, senior.” Ye Futian nodded. Standing beside Gu Hanshan, Gu Yunxi smiled gently at Ye Futian.

“Big brother Futian, all the best.” Long Ling’er raised her small fist at Ye Futian, while Madame Long nodded lightly at him. The both of them then left. Ye Futian knew that he owed Madame Long a huge debt. Otherwise, he would be on the run now!
