Chapter 1523: Chapter 1394: Testing the Waters

"Ye is bound to lose. He’s just at the Early-stage Divine Realm. Even if he can fight across realms, it won’t matter. Xiong Kuang has the ability to fight across realms too."

"Who is spewing nonsense? What a stench. What’s so great about Xiong Kuang? If Ye Zi didn’t hold back, Xiong Kuang wouldn’t last even three moves!" Hu Fei glared, his words exceptionally venomous, making many want to beat him up.

However, considering his identity, many chose silence because the Nine Great Bandits are not to be messed with. Just half a year ago, Hu Fei’s grandfather, together with some brothers, ambushed the Di Clan’s Saint. If not for other Di Clan members arriving with a damaged Emperor Weapon, they would have succeeded.

Who dares provoke someone who doesn’t regard the Di Clan seriously?

The competition hasn’t formally begun, but the audience stands and waiting area are already boiling over. Many disciples betting on Qi Tianlin and Zhou Zhaolong’s victory engaged in verbal battles with Hu Fei, Shi Ye, Han Sandong, Sikong Po, and others.

"Make your move, or you won’t get the chance!"

Amid the argument, Xiong Kuang spoke, not displaying any divine skills, standing casually, clearly not taking Ye Fan seriously.

"Ye Zi, hit him, hit him until he doesn’t dare act wildly anymore!"

Seeing Xiong Kuang pose like a lonely master, Hu Fei was fuming, shouting for Ye Fan to strike.

Ye Fan heard this, smiled slightly, without any intention to hit hard.

Because, although Xiong Kuang is arrogant, he’s not evil. Besides, the Xiong Family contributed greatly in resisting the Demon Clan, achieving great merit for the Human Race, deserving respect.

"Better you make the first move. I don’t have the habit of striking first."

Ye Fan smiled slightly, similarly not displaying any divine skills, as it was really unnecessary.

"Alright!"

Xiong Kuang shouted fiercely, saying coldly, "Since you’re so confident, I’ll grant your wish. If you can withstand ten of my moves, I count as a loss."

As his words fell, Xiong Kuang roared to the sky, his clothes bursting open, revealing strong muscles resembling the hardest granite, reflecting oily brilliance under the sun.

At this moment, Xiong Kuang, originally very strong, grew even taller. His hands widened like fans, clenched like cauldrons, his whole body’s energy and blood roaring like thunder.

Is this still human?

He is practically a humanoid Xuan Beast!

Spectators couldn’t help but look at each other. Indeed, Xiong Kuang is powerful. It appeared the ancestral bloodline had been activated, showing signs of atavism.

"Strike!"

Xiong Kuang shouted, his huge fists like cannonballs blasted towards Ye Fan’s chest, fierce Punch Ray compressed within a foot, more dazzling than the sun.

Ye Fan’s gaze grew cold, knowing Xiong Kuang’s punch was merely probing, so he didn’t dodge, instead meeting it with his own.

Sixty percent strength!

Ye Fan only used sixty percent of his strength, not wanting to defeat Xiong Kuang at the outset, otherwise, this punch was enough to smash half of his chest.

Boom!

Their fists collided, Ye Fan didn’t retreat a step, a faint smile on his face, not even using divine power, only sixty percent of his Physical Strength.

"Impressive, I take back what I said earlier."

With just one move, Xiong Kuang understood Ye Fan’s deep and immeasurable strength, even without using divine skills, only with physical strength as potent as his own.

"You’re worthy of my full effort, but be careful now, I won’t hold back anymore!"

Xiong Kuang took a deep breath; his eyes shot two foot-long beams of Golden Light, shouting, his palms spinning like windmills toward Ye Fan.

Mad Bear Chaotic Dance!

Bei Xiong Family’s renowned Absolute Technique, once Heaven and Earth Dharma is deployed, each palm lands as if a mountain suppressing down, ordinary cultivators would turn to pulp with just one slap.

"Quite an impressive martial arts technique, it’s no wonder Bei Xiong Family has stood for so many years."

In the VIP seats, a Heroic Lord nodded in praise; many would struggle against Xiong Kuang’s attack, even without divine skills, sheer strength alone was terrifying.

"Xiong Kuang is already using Mad Bear Chaotic Dance technique; Ye is likely soon unable to persist, inevitably being slapped away."

Seeing Xiong Kuang use his Mad Bear Chaotic Dance, a young man wearing the same trousers as Li Tianfeng spoke gleefully.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

In a blink, Ye Fan clashed with Xiong Kuang several dozen times, divine power surged like rolling rivers, relentless, with Thunder Power swirling on his purple-gold palms.

The more they fought, the more Xiong Kuang was shocked — Ye Fan’s body was terrifying!

Bear in mind, Xiong Kuang didn’t suppress his realm, using Mid-stage Divine Power Realm strength, yet even without divine skills; Ye Fan’s Early-stage Divine Realm shouldn’t withstand it.

Ye Fan’s every slap carried fearsome Thunder Power, making Xiong Kuang especially apprehensive.

"What kind of freak is this guy? His body even stronger than mine, a ghostly encounter!"

Xiong Kuang was immensely frustrated; his pride was always his powerful body, yet today faced someone with an even more terrifying body, causing him slight discomfort in pure physical clashes.

Especially since his realm isn’t even as high as mine, without suppressing the realm, if I can’t even take down a little cultivator in the early-stage divine realm, what right do I have to charge into the top three?

While Xiong Kuang was feeling frustrated, Hu Fei and Shi Ye in the waiting area were grinning widely.

"This big fool, comparing physical strength with Ye Zi, isn’t he just asking for trouble?" Hu Fei said with a mischievous grin.

"That’s right!"

Shi Ye strongly agreed, even he, a genius of the barbarian clan flowing with War God bloodline, would have to suffer in a pure physical confrontation, let alone Xiong Kuang.

"This..."

The young man who just said Ye Fan would surely be knocked flying seemed to have been slapped hard, his face flushed with embarrassment, unable to utter a word.

Obviously, he realized that while Xiong Kuang was powerful, he couldn’t do anything against Ye Fan, having fought for so long without even touching the hem of his clothes.

After executing a set of Mad Bear Chaotic Dance, Xiong Kuang became even more frustrated, his tiger’s mouth cracked from the vibration, while the other side seemed fine, not even moving an inch.

At this point, Xiong Kuang couldn’t rely on pressing down with realms; it was clear that even though Ye Fan was in the early-stage divine realm, his physical strength far surpassed his own.

To win the competition, Xiong Kuang finally decided to use his divine skills; otherwise, he wouldn’t have a chance, and this was his first match, even just for good luck, he couldn’t lose.

"Thick Earth Seal!"

Xiong Kuang shouted, and suddenly a large earth-colored seal appeared in the void, shining brightly, seemingly with inscriptions below it, crashing down towards Ye Fan to suppress him.

This was his divine ability, understanding the earth element, after reaching the mid-stage divine power realm, he refined this simple earth element divine skill into the Thick Earth Seal, with immense power, his ace.

He originally planned to use this move to challenge the top three, but if he couldn’t even pass Ye Fan, then what top three could he talk about?

He had no choice but to prematurely expose this ace move, believing that once the Thick Earth Seal is deployed, he would definitely win, and Ye Fan couldn’t possibly withstand this seal like a giant mountain.

Additionally, he wouldn’t remain idle; the moment the seal fell, he rushed over again, throwing a punch at Ye Fan’s chest, making it difficult for him to defend himself.

"Xiong Kuang actually mastered the Thick Earth Seal, it’s simply too strong."

"Now that Ye’s loss is certain, even if his divine power is strong, facing the immensely powerful Thick Earth Seal, there’s likely only the path of defeat."

Seeing this, many cultivators cried out in disbelief; even for them, fighting against such a terrifying Thick Earth Seal wouldn’t be easy, let alone Ye Fan, who was merely in the early-stage divine realm?

"I suggest you surrender; otherwise, I can’t guarantee you won’t get hurt!"

Seeing Ye Fan about to be suppressed under the Thick Earth Seal, Xiong Kuang felt a bit reluctant and said while throwing a punch.

"Thank you for your good intentions, I won’t hurt you!"

Ye Fan smiled broadly; he had been preparing to teach Xiong Kuang a lesson. However, since he considered his safety, he couldn’t strike ruthlessly.

"You... arrogant!"

Xiong Kuang was almost choked by Ye Fan’s words; at this point, he still said he wouldn’t hurt him. Xiong Kuang truly didn’t know where his confidence came from?

Soon, he understood.

In front of everyone’s eyes, Ye Fan did not dodge, instead he extended a single hand upward, steadily holding the Thick Earth Seal in his palm, carrying this mountain-like seal towards Xiong Kuang!

Swoosh!

Xiong Kuang’s face changed in fright, hurriedly waving his hand to set up six Thick Earth Shields in front of him to block Ye Fan’s attack.

In his mind, Ye Fan carrying the mountain-like Thick Earth Seal must be slow, he just needs to fend off this wave, victory would be his.

However—

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

...

A series of explosions rang out, and the six Thick Earth Seals were punched through by Ye Fan and shattered.

In the next moment.

As soon as Xiong Kuang realized, the purplegold fist infused with Thunder Power was already in front of him, just half an inch away from smashing into his head.

"I... I surrender!"

Xiong Kuang stood still, tight as a sculpture, his eyes wide open like walnuts, his face filled with shock, blurting out his surrender, yet completely unable to believe the result!
