Background / History
Ye Family Small Tournament
Ye Long entered the final as the expected champion, with a reputation as the Ye Family’s strongest young cultivator and access to its finest martial techniques. Before facing him, Ye Lingyun questioned previous opponents and reviewed match records to study the Dragon Flame Heaven-Dominating Art 6 7.
Although Ye Long dismissed Ye Lingyun as an inferior collateral-branch disciple, he cautioned his supporters against carelessness. On the platform, he offered Ye Lingyun a chance to surrender, then opened with relentless fire-dragon attacks when the challenge was refused. Ye Lingyun countered with the Star-Splitting Void Sword Technique, surviving even Fire Dragon Burns the Heavens and forcing Ye Long to take him seriously 9.
Ye Long subsequently pushed his art to its limit. When Ye Lingyun slipped past the flame dragon and attacked him directly, Ye Long evaded the sword thrust and retaliated with a fiery punch that sent his opponent flying. The decisive exchange came when Ye Lingyun created Spirit-Sense Void-Splitting Slash, cleaving through a pillar of flame and shattering Ye Long’s defensive shield. The remaining sword energy struck Ye Long’s chest, knocking him down and leaving him coughing blood 10.
Ye Long conceded, acknowledged that he had underestimated Ye Lingyun, and accepted the defeat wholeheartedly. Ye Lingyun helped him stand and proposed another spar in the future; Ye Long nodded, and the two exchanged smiles. The patriarch praised both fighters before confirming Ye Lingyun as champion 10.
Aftermath
Conservative elders later used Ye Long’s defeat to discredit Ye Lingyun, spreading false claims that the victory involved underhanded methods. The scheme is attributed to those elders, not to Ye Long 11.

Personality
Ye Long is proud of his strength and initially judges Ye Lingyun by his collateral-branch background. He expects an easy victory and intends to demonstrate his supremacy over the family’s younger generation. Nevertheless, he recognizes that Ye Lingyun may possess hidden abilities and warns against underestimating him 9.
His confidence turns to irritation as Ye Lingyun withstands his attacks, but he ultimately shows sportsmanship. After losing, he regains his composure, openly admits his misjudgment, and accepts the result without making excuses 9 10.
