Amid the silence of these few, the debate over who was stronger between Ye Xiwen and Ye Kuang continued without end, yet no real conclusion could be reached as to who was superior.
Yet along with these discussions, Ye Xiwen's fame rose like a meteor. In an instant, there was no one in the Ye Family who had not heard his name. Even many old monsters who had been in seclusion for years learned from the discussions spreading throughout the Ye Family that such a figure had emerged among the younger generation—someone who had actually overturned the previous Five Overlords.
Many old monsters were utterly astonished. To them, this was simply impossible. It was not as though no one had ever managed to drag the Five Overlords down from their horses before, but such people had always been as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
The Five Overlords had been decided early on, and they were all the most outstanding geniuses within the Ye Family. With the various resources tilted toward them by the upper echelons of the Lineage, they quickly left everyone else an entire level behind, then gradually pulled farther and farther ahead. Among the top experts of the Ye Family now, nearly all had emerged from the Five Overlords.
Under such circumstances, it was practically impossible for later arrivals to rise against the current and pull one of the Five Overlords down. Anyone who could accomplish it was a heaven-shaking, earth-moving figure, with immeasurable future achievements.
Moreover, such people were already exceedingly difficult to snuff out. Ye Xinghe was now at the Celestial Realm Seventh Stage, yet he had still suffered a crushing defeat at Ye Xiwen's hands. This meant that, at the very least, Ye Xiwen possessed combat strength at the Celestial Realm Seventh Stage.
