The surroundings were noisy and chaotic, but Shen Ye remained unmoved, his heart as calm as a still well. Most of his attention was immersed in cultivation.
Although he had the aid of the Destiny Orb in this life, he never relaxed his demands on himself, dedicating himself to practice almost every moment.
His ability to stand at the peak of the human world in his previous life wasn't solely due to talent.
At this moment, the external clamor suddenly quieted down significantly.
Without needing to turn around, Shen Ye knew that his opponent for the day had arrived.
While he didn't care about his opponent, the other party didn't seem to think the same.
As Wang Bing walked past Shen Ye, he lowered his voice and said, in a tone only the two of them could hear, "Kid, put on a good show today, don't let anyone see through it!"
Shen Ye opened his eyes and looked at him, quite puzzled. Had this guy lost his mind?
With his intelligence, he couldn't even guess what this guy was thinking.
Wang Bing, however, was quite pleased with Shen Ye's expression: "Good, you're getting into character quickly."
Before Shen Ye could react, Wang Bing walked to the other side of the arena and stood there, chin held high, looking arrogant and dismissive of everyone else.
After the Taoist from Longhu Mountain announced the start of the match, Wang Bing deliberately spoke loudly: "Shen Ye, right? Interested in putting on a genius battle for these mediocre people?"
The casual onlookers in the audience were momentarily stunned. How did this drama involve them? Then, intense dissatisfaction erupted.
"You little brat, who are you calling mediocre?"
"Brother Shen Ye, beat that scumbag's head in for me!"
Shen Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly: "How do you want to play?"
"Just use the technique you learned yesterday." Wang Bing seemed to enjoy listening to the curses, sweeping his gaze across the audience with a provocative look, "Am I wrong? It's just a simple technique learned in a short amount of time, yet it's enough to surprise you all!"
"That bastard, how dare he say our family's Spirit Binding and General Dispatching is an ordinary technique!" In the stands, Feng Shayan roared furiously.
Feng Zhenghao, standing beside her, looked solemn: "What does he mean? Could it be that he also..."
"Come on, let's each summon our spirits and see who can seize the other's spirit!" Wang Bing shouted, spreading his hands, "Come out!"
In an instant, more than a dozen soul bodies flew out from his body, creating gusts of cold wind, as if a hundred ghosts were parading at night.
"It seems I've caused some misunderstanding by borrowing the name 'Spirit Binding and General Dispatching'!" Shen Ye chuckled inwardly. He probably understood what this guy was thinking. "Since you're actively helping me expand my influence, I won't be polite."
Seeing that Shen Ye indeed summoned that incredibly powerful humanoid phantom, Wang Bing felt reassured. He looked around and mocked: "Look closely, this is Spirit Binding and General Dispatching!"
Everyone felt a gust of cold wind blow by, and then, nothing happened. It was a perfect repeat of yesterday's scene.
"Pfft, is this guy here to tell jokes?"
"Although I want to laugh too, Feng Xingtong's Spirit Binding and General Dispatching also seemed to fail yesterday, didn't it?"
"So, does he even know Spirit Binding and General Dispatching?"
Many people turned their gaze to the Feng Family, trying to discern the answer from their expressions.
Feng Zhenghao let out a heavy breath of Turbid Qi, his expression displeased: "Indeed, that is Spirit Binding and General Dispatching!"
However, Wang Bing was deaf to these voices, looking at the humanoid phantom with some bewilderment: "What's going on?"
He had originally thought that Feng Xingtong's Spirit Binding and General Dispatching failed because the inheritance was incomplete, but why didn't his summoning work either?
"Is it because that spirit is too powerful, exceeding the limit of Spirit Binding and General Dispatching? This is even better. Once I devour this spirit, even the Ten Elders won't be my match!" Wang Bing adjusted his mindset and said in a low voice, "Hey, you can lose now."
With that, he theatrically shouted again: "Spirit Binding and General Dispatching!"
However, the phantom behind Shen Ye remained as unmoving as a rock.
At this point, Wang Bing felt he was losing face and glared darkly: "What do you mean?"
Shen Ye shook his head slightly: "Actually, I also want to ask, what do you mean?"
Before Wang Bing could respond, the phantom behind Shen Ye blew a breath, and a fierce gale raged, directly sending Wang Bing flying to the wall at the edge of the arena, where he slid down like a rag doll.
Wang Bing struggled to get up from the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood. Both shocked and enraged, he blurted out: "How dare you betray my grandfather!"
At these words, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.
"What's going on? I'm a bit confused."
"Don't look at me, I don't understand either."
Although he had accidentally let it slip, Wang Bing couldn't care less at this moment and directly "self-destructed": "Hmph, do you really think his Spirit Binding and General Dispatching and mine were self-taught? Don't be silly, just thinking about it tells you it's impossible. This Spirit Binding and General Dispatching was clearly taught to him by my grandfather!"
The already noisy stands now boiled like a pot of water.
"I knew it, a genius like that couldn't exist in reality!"
"Wait, why would his grandfather know the Feng Family's secret art? Could it be... Elder Wang Ai used to be a live-in son-in-law of the Feng Family?"
Feng Shayan, on one side of the stands, immediately perked up: "So they're two thieves, hmph, they put on quite a show!"
Feng Xingtong, however, shook his head and said: "It's different!"
Feng Zhenghao looked at his son: "Xingtong, you?"
Feng Xingtong took a deep breath: "You still remember, don't you? Shen Ye forcibly bound Grandpa Wang Zizhong from me yesterday, but the problem is, I didn't summon them at the time!"
Feng Zhenghao's pupils suddenly constricted: "You mean, he not only learned Spirit Binding and General Dispatching at first glance, but also innovated and evolved an even more powerful divine ability from it?"
Feng Shayan's expression froze. She mechanically turned to look at her younger brother, hoping to hear him deny it.
Unfortunately, Feng Xingtong didn't fulfill her wish. Instead, he nodded and looked at Shen Ye with awe, "That's why I said he's completely different from an idiot like Wang Bing!"
Feng Shayan recalled what Hua Yue had said yesterday, and her worldview finally shattered completely. "Heh, I guess I'm the abnormal one after all!"
Although hundreds of eyes were on him, Shen Ye's expression didn't change in the slightest. He simply smiled and raised his index finger at Wang Bing. "Heh, you said my Spirit Binding and General Dispatching was taught by your grandfather. I wonder if he taught you this move?"
With a flick of Shen Ye's index finger, the spirit monsters surrounding Wang Bing were instantly drawn away.
"Hmph, it's just a way of using Spirit Binding and General Dispatching..." Wang Bing wasn't surprised that his spirits were taken. He was still trying to sound tough when his expression suddenly changed drastically. "Bastard, what did you do to me?"
Countless black streams of Qi flew out of his ears, nose, eyes, and mouth, creating an eerie and bizarre sensation.
Immediately after, his aura visibly began to decline!
"No, no, these are all my powers. It's impossible! The spirits swallowed by the Spirit Devouring Method should permanently become my power!" Wang Bing, looking frantic, used both hands and feet, trying to force the scattered soul bodies back into his mouth.
"That guy's finished!" Feng Zhenghao sighed.
"It's too overbearing. Spirit Binding and General Dispatching is like a celestial technique in his hands!" Feng Xingtong looked on with envy.
The people in the stands were also astonished. Although Shen Ye didn't directly respond, judging from Wang Bing's reaction, it was clearly a case of him being full of himself. The technique someone else comprehended was completely different from the Wang Family's Spirit Binding and General Dispatching.
"Tsk, after all that, it turns out this idiot himself was incompetent, so he assumed others were too!"
"I'm ashamed. I even misunderstood little brother Shen Ye just now. I never thought there could truly be such a brilliant and talented person in this world!"
Hearing these comments, Wang Bing, already severely weakened, became even more furious. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and fainted directly.
