Let You See Enough

Ye Xiwen naturally didn't know he had become a topic of conversation among the Elders, nor did he have the time to care about it.

Since Ye Xiwen finished early, he had plenty of time to watch other people's matches.

After the first round of matches, only a little over a hundred people remained in the competition for the second round.

Compared to the first round, the quality of the second round was much higher, with the weakest being at the late Houtian Fourth Stage.

Ye Xiwen also saw extremely powerful experts displaying their might and easily defeating their opponents. These were all experts at the Houtian Sixth Stage, the cream of the crop among the Inner Disciples.

Ye Xiwen's opponent in the third round was far inferior to Wang Shaoqi, and not even as good as Shi Feng. He had only just cultivated to the Houtian Fifth Stage and was knocked down by Ye Xiwen with a single palm strike.

He easily passed the third round, which truly made the higher echelons of the Yi Yuan Sect pay attention to Ye Xiwen. Many Elders began to specifically focus on Ye Xiwen, just as they would focus on geniuses.

Passing the third round easily placed him in the top fifty, and passing the fourth round would place him in the top thirty.

Elder Hu's expression grew increasingly grim. He had said that Ye Xiwen would definitely not pass the top fifty, and now Ye Xiwen had easily passed the third round. If Ye Xiwen passed the fourth round, he would lose all face; this was a blatant slap in the face.

Moreover, it wasn't a difficult pass through the third round; he defeated everyone with a single move. No one could force him to use a second move, and no one could even force him to use a martial skill. He simply struck out with a plain palm, and his opponent flew away.

Ye Xiwen's fighting style, defeating enemies with one move and advancing with ease, immediately made him famous among the disciples.

Many people were paying attention to his battles.

"This Ye Xiwen's strength is simply unfathomable. No one has been able to truly force him to make a real move yet. I wonder what martial skill he cultivates!"

"Look at the saber he's carrying on his back; he must be a saber user!"

"No, some people have seen that Ye Xiwen's main martial skill is a palm technique, carrying a hint of thunder. It's the Thunderclap Hand!"

"It's terrifying that even his martial skill can't be forced out!"

"But he probably won't be able to do it so easily next time. His next opponent is Tang Nian, who is already an expert at the Houtian Sixth Stage. He has also advanced smoothly, crushing all his opponents. It's going to be a fierce battle!"

Ye Xiwen also heard these discussions, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

"I didn't expect you to make it this far, but you'd better pray you don't run into me!" As Ye Xiwen was lost in thought, a figure approached. It was a burly young man in his twenties, carrying a pair of huge copper hammers on his back. "Otherwise, I'll make you taste the suffering my brother endured!"

"Are you Ma Ying?" Ye Xiwen immediately realized that this person must be Ma Ying. "Your brother committed evil deeds, and many people were driven to ruin by your brother. This is retribution!"

"I don't care what my brother did before, but I will definitely avenge my brother today. You'd better surrender early, or I'll break your limbs!" Ma Ying said with a sinister grin.

Ye Xiwen remained calm, looking at Ma Ying coldly.

"What? Scared? If you're scared, run away quickly, hahahaha!" Ma Ying said with a laugh.

Many disciples were watching from the sidelines, discussing animatedly.

"I didn't expect Ye Xiwen and Ma Ying to have this feud, tsk tsk. This is going to be interesting!"

"Tsk tsk, I heard that Ye Xiwen previously crippled Ma Yan, who had to lie in bed recovering for a long time. Now that the main culprit has arrived, with Ma Ying's vengeful nature, he won't let this go!"

"Tsk tsk, Ma Ying is someone who can break into the top five. Won't Ye Xiwen really have his limbs broken!"

"How is that possible? Ye Xiwen isn't someone to be trifled with either. No one he's faced so far has been able to force him to use two moves!"

"Heh heh, let me gauge your strength and see if you can get past Tang Nian!" Ma Ying sneered, then suddenly attacked. One of the hammers on his back flew up, and he grabbed it with his large hand, whistling through the air as he ferociously swung it at Ye Xiwen.

Ma Ying was arrogant, but his strength was extremely formidable. His cultivation was definitely at the Houtian Sixth Stage Peak, second to none among the Inner Disciples. His terrifying aura locked onto Ye Xiwen, and a large hammer smashed down.

This wasn't just testing Ye Xiwen's strength; it was a clear attempt to cripple Ye Xiwen under the guise of a test.

Ye Xiwen stomped his foot, his figure like an immortal, gracefully dodging the hammer. Unexpectedly, Ma Ying also stomped his foot, and he was actually using the Heavenly Immortal Steps as well. However, when Ma Ying used the Heavenly Immortal Steps, they were filled with explosive power and a sense of force.

Completely different!

Killing intent flashed in Ma Ying's eyes, and a sinister grin spread across his face. He quickly followed Ye Xiwen, the heavy hammer in his hand seeming as light as nothing. He swung the hammer down fiercely.

"Boom!" The hammer smashed into the ground, creating a large hole. Ye Xiwen dodged it at the last moment.

"How is this possible? You actually..." Ma Ying looked at Ye Xiwen in disbelief. Of course, he could tell that Ye Xiwen was practicing the Heavenly Immortal Steps, which made him furious. He was sure Ye Xiwen had stolen it from his brother, but he didn't care much about it. He had been practicing the Heavenly Immortal Steps for over a year; how could Ye Xiwen possibly be better than him?

But Ye Xiwen had managed to dodge it just now. It was the Minor Accomplishment stage of the Heavenly Immortal Steps!

He himself had only just reached the introductory level, still a distance away from Minor Accomplishment!

"Idiot!" Ye Xiwen sneered.

"You're courting death!" Ma Ying was instantly enraged and unleashed his full power. His aura surged to its peak, becoming incredibly ferocious, far more potent than Wang Shaoqi's. Wang Shaoqi could only contend with experts at the early Houtian Sixth Stage, but Ma Ying was a top-five expert among the Inner Disciples this year, having advanced through the ranks with almost no rivals.

"This time, I'll turn you into a corpse!" Ma Ying's killing intent locked onto Ye Xiwen, and his overwhelming aura surged forth like a tidal wave. The two hammers whistled through the air like two small mountains as they were smashed down.

Ye Xiwen could feel dozens of powerful gazes sweeping over him, many of them malicious. Among them were even Xiantian realm experts. Their mere gazes sent a shiver down his spine.

He understood that as an Elder of the Yi Yuan Sect, Ye Kongming had friends, but naturally, he also had enemies. There were countless hidden enemies waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Since they wanted to watch, he would let them watch to their heart's content!

What conspiracies or tricks were all fleeting in the face of true strength!

Ye Xiwen's hidden strength erupted completely, soaring upwards, directly towards the Houtian Sixth Stage Peak.

"What? Ye Xiwen is also at the Houtian Sixth Stage Peak!"
