"Clang, clang, clang..."
This time, it was truly Ai Wei's turn to be shocked.
She simply could not imagine that such a youthful-seeming youth had not only mastered a Spirit Tier Martial Art at the level of Transcending the Mundane and Entering Sainthood.
But had also grasped Spear Intent?
Yet he had begun his challenge from the Bronze Tier rank, remaining utterly unknown.
At the very least, she had absolutely never heard of him.
With such potential, he already showed signs of entering the Huaxia Young Dragon Ranking.
In truth, Ai Wei had overestimated Ye Fan on one point.
That was that Ye Fan had not truly grasped Spear Intent. The reason he could unleash power nearly equal to Spear Intent was entirely thanks to his Dao Seed.
Bingyan—Weapon Strengthening's ability!
It allowed him, even with merely a Spear Intent Seed, to almost contend against Ai Wei, who had grasped Dripping Water Pierces Stone within the Conception of Water.
"It's my turn to attack."
"I must secure this thirtieth victory!"
Holding his spear in his right hand, Ye Fan unleashed Spear Technique at the Transcending the Mundane and Entering Sainthood level, empowered by his Spear Intent Seed.
He withstood Ai Wei's attack.
Then, all of a sudden.
His left hand clenched into a fist, and a wild, tyrannical aura seeped from it.
It was the second move of the introductory King-grade Martial Art, Overlord King Fist—Undying Royal Court!
"Hiss..."
Ai Wei's sea-blue eyes narrowed.
Her heart was filled with even greater shock.
She had not expected that, even now, the tall youth before her had yet to reach his limit.
Perhaps his greatest specialty was not even Spear Technique!?
The very thought gave even Ai Wei a fright.
Where had this little monster sprung from?
Screech.
A sound as though even the air had been torn apart rang out as that figure advanced with unmatched savagery.
Like a rampaging beast, he charged straight at Ai Wei.
One punch flew out.
The void before it burst apart in waves.
A majesty like a Supreme Royal Court descended, making Ai Wei, already somewhat petite in comparison to his height, suddenly feel like an ant trying to shake the heavens.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
Just then.
A shell pendant around Ai Wei's jade-white neck let out the roar of raging waves.
This was a protective spirit artifact.
Unlike a Martial Warrior's protective suit, its defensive coverage was not large, but it was gorgeous and beautiful.
Its cost, however, was extremely high!
Ye Fan's eyes narrowed. Though this was the Starry Sky Network Combat space.
The artifacts appearing here were all simulated based on real objects their owners possessed.
That meant that both the bracelet spirit artifact and this shell spirit artifact.
Belonged to this Sea Elf-like girl before him.
It also meant that her origins were certainly extraordinary.
But compared with cherishing the fairer sex and looking before and behind.
Ye Fan cared more about the hundred-thousand-yuan first-clear advancement reward!
"Weapon Control—Deflect!"
Suddenly.
Ye Fan used another ability of his Dao Seed: Weapon Control.
It caused the shell-like defensive armor, which had originally echoed with the sound of seawater, to forcibly shift several inches just as Ye Fan's fist neared it!
Bang!
Ye Fan's second move of the King-grade Martial Art—Supreme Royal Court—smashed heavily into Ai Wei's chest!
Ai Wei's body within the Starry Sky Combat Arena crumbled inch by inch.
She recalled the seemingly arrogant words the youth had spoken before: geniuses were merely the threshold to meet him.
Perhaps he truly possessed the right to be arrogant.
"My true rank is Golden Commander. I hope we can meet again later."
Ai Wei murmured softly.
Then her body gradually dispersed.
Ye Fan had not heard clearly, but even if he had, he would not have cared.
At this moment.
He only felt that these advancement matches were indeed bug-like in their existence.
This battle alone had left him exhausted in both body and mind.
Whether it was using a King-grade Martial Art, unleashing his Spear Intent Seed.
Or using the Weapon Strengthening ability of his Dao Seed, all of it had somewhat overdrawn Ye Fan's strength.
Moreover.
Ye Fan discovered that using the Dao Seed's Weapon Control ability consumed an enormous amount of Mental Power.
Merely shifting that Sea Elf-like girl's spirit artifact by several inches had already left him feeling groggy and lightheaded.
Martial Dao Skill increased: Spear Technique Tier 2 (3%) Spear Intent Seed increased (33%)
As Ye Fan caught his breath, two notifications appeared on the illusory panel before him.
Thirty consecutive battles had increased his Martial Dao Skill in Spear Technique by 2%, while his Spear Intent Seed had increased by 3%.
This was absolutely an unexpected delight.
"Congratulations, Martial Warrior Ye Fan. You have successfully advanced to the 'Golden Commander' rank.
Your current win rate is 100%. Would you like to continue challenging?"
The system's voice came from above the arena.
"Stop the challenge."
Ye Fan replied.
He had only come to attempt the Combat Trial Passage of the Starry Sky Combat Arena on a whim.
And had been drawn in by the hundred-thousand-yuan prize.
Now, he was already nearing his limit and needed to readjust himself and reflect on the insights gained from battle.
"Very well. The first-clear reward will be deposited into your bank account shortly. Please check it."
As the voice fell.
Ye Fan felt a faint swirl of dizziness as he was about to be teleported out of the Combat Trial Passage.
"Hehehe..."
"Kekeke..."
The surroundings were picturesque. Inside a huge internet room in a glass house.
A delicate-featured, spoiled little girl rubbed her hands together, her little tiger teeth clacking.
"That brat dared to stab me. Let's see how my Weiwei beats the stuffing out of you."
The little girl speaking was Ai Qi, whom Ye Fan had previously shaken free from her restraints before stabbing her dead with a single spear thrust.
"Hmph."
All of a sudden.
A soft, muffled groan came from Ai Wei, who wore a Smart Brain helmet.
Then Ai Wei covered her chest with one small hand, her pretty face turning slightly pale as well.
Ai Qi's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
Could it be that Weiwei had lost too?
Impossible! How could that brat be so strong?
"Weiwei?"
After helping Ai Wei remove her helmet, Ai Qi looked expectantly and nervously at the other girl's flawless, delicate face.
She hoped to hear that her mortal enemy, that tall and savage youth, had been thoroughly beaten up.
"He's a genius... no, a little monster."
Ai Wei rubbed her full chest and spoke after pondering for a moment.
At this, Ai Qi's eyes widened.
Normally, she rarely heard her elder sister, who looked gentle on the outside but was extraordinarily proud inside, praise anyone.
Suddenly.
As though she had discovered a new continent, Ai Qi cried out, "Weiwei, that bastard didn't hit you in the chest, did he?"
Ai Wei's pretty face flushed as well upon hearing that.
"Waaah! He's too disgusting!"
"I'm going to find Grandpa. I have to uncover that detestable, lust-crazed bastard who had the gall to grope you."
Ai Qi ground her little tiger teeth and ran off with a thump-thump-thump.
Ai Wei smiled bitterly in helplessness.
At the upper levels of the Starry Sky Combat Network.
The two Mountain Sea Realm experts from Candle Flame Martial Hall, serving as rotating chairmen, also found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Fist after fist striking flesh, fierce and domineering. Thrilling, thrilling.
This boy is absolutely a heaven-blessed favorite of my Giant Elephant Lineage."
"I want all of this boy's information."
As rotating chairmen, they could investigate the information of any Martial Warrior entering the Starry Sky Combat Network.
Very quickly, the information was returned.
Ye Fan, a resident of Linjiang City, Jiangnan Province, was a student of Class 6, Grade 12, Linjiang No. 1 High School.
He had attended the Jiangnan Martial University Trial Camp this year but had not been admitted... later joining the Star Martial Hall...
"What? This boy attended my Jiangnan Martial University Trial Camp, yet he was not admitted?"
"What the hell were the admissions teachers doing? Blind fools with eyes but no sight!?"
The tall, burly man of the Giant Elephant Lineage glared with wide eyes, fury flashing within them.
