Chapter 37: A Strong Opponent

Tuo Ba Ye continued his challenges as he did yesterday.

The second strong opponent sent by the Du family was not Du Hao, but Du Yusheng.

Du Yusheng was the strongest member of the Du family and the family head, who was supposed to appear last.

Leaving Du Hao for the end might have made the concerns of Tuo Ba Wei and others come true.

Du Yusheng's attack was even more ruthless than Du Ming's, as if he was willing to go all out, even to the point of mutual destruction. His precious sword gleamed with a cold light, moving at an extreme speed. If Tuo Ba Ye were hit, the outcome would not be good.

Du Yusheng, a Ninth Star Innate Martial God, was indeed a formidable opponent when he went all out.

Tuo Ba Ye continuously retreated, but Du Yusheng did not let up, finally angering him.

"Get down!" Tuo Ba Ye actually punched hard to meet Du Yusheng's precious sword, and with his other hand, he struck Du Yusheng.

"Ah!" Du Yusheng let out a惨叫, unable to hold back the spurt of blood.

His body flew far away, landing off the arena.

Tuo Ba Ye also sustained a minor injury; Du Yusheng's sword was extremely sharp, piercing his arm directly.

Tuo Ba Ye had not yet completed the first transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Divine and Demonic Body, but his defense was already astonishing. The sword only caused a flesh wound, not a serious one.

If he could successfully complete the first transformation, even ordinary precious swords or common spiritual weapons would find it hard to harm him.

"Xiao Ye, come down quickly, the rest is up to us," Tuo Ba Wei shouted loudly.

Tuo Ba Ye smiled and said, "I'm fine, I want to continue the match."

He briefly treated his wound and prepared for the next battle.

"Father, will Xiao Ye be okay?" Si Tu Yuer was somewhat worried.

Si Tu Bowu smiled and said, "He should be fine. However, Du Hao is a mysterious figure, and even we don't know his identity. Since he was kept for last, he must not be simple."

Seeing Du Hao step onto the stage, Tuo Ba Wei was also somewhat worried: "Du Hao has appeared; it seems Xiao Ye will have some trouble."

"Uncle, will Xiao Ye be okay?" Xia Yuxuan was extremely anxious.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ye is very steady. He knows his limits. If he can't win, he will admit defeat," Tuo Ba Wei said.

Xia Yuxuan was even more worried: "You don't understand. For the honor of the family, Xiao Ye won't consider his own safety. He is preparing to attend the Immortal Edges Assembly and leave the Warring States, but he is concerned that the Tuo Ba family is not strong enough. I know he wants to establish the family's prestige."

"Xiao Ye has lofty goals, which is something the younger generation should learn from. This time, the Tuo Ba family has quite a few eligible young men and women, but it's unknown if any can enter the cultivation sects," Tuo Ba Wei sighed.

The Tuo Ba family's foundation was not very deep, and they had participated in the Immortal Edges Assembly twice, but unfortunately, no disciples were selected by the cultivation sects.

Being selected by a cultivation sect does not guarantee a bright future.

The competition in cultivation sects is even more intense. The sects select geniuses from countless countries on the Divine Martial Continent. It is very difficult to stand out among so many geniuses. Even many geniuses die shortly after entering the cultivation sects.

Cultivators must constantly undergo trials and adventures, and a slight mistake can lead to their downfall.

Many young people from the Warring States have been selected into cultivation sects, but none have achieved significant success.

The Warring States is a remote and small country with a relatively small population. Many large cultivation sects do not even come to the Warring States to select disciples.

Even medium-sized cultivation sects are quite rare.

This is the current situation, and there is no way to change it. The royal family has always wanted to make changes, but has never succeeded.

Tuo Ba Ye was born with divine strength, and Si Tu Bowu wanted to publicize this to enhance the Warring States' reputation, but he was hesitant, fearing it would bring trouble to Tuo Ba Ye.

The bigger the tree, the more it attracts the wind, and this is especially true for cultivation sects.

If Tuo Ba Ye's reputation were to spread, he would likely face many challenges in the cultivation sects.

The Immortal Edges Assembly is still nearly two years away, so Si Tu Bowu was not in a hurry. He planned to discuss the matter with Tuo Ba Ye after the matches to see what Tuo Ba Ye thought.

On the arena, Du Hao and Tuo Ba Ye faced off, their auras rising continuously as they tried to suppress each other.

Du Hao was over two meters tall, making Tuo Ba Ye look very small and weak, as if he could be knocked away with a single punch.

Du Hao was undoubtedly the strongest opponent Tuo Ba Ye had ever faced, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

"You are very strong! And you are definitely not from the Du family!" Tuo Ba Ye's eyes were like lightning, as if trying to see through Du Hao.

"Boy, you are doomed to die!" Du Hao said coldly.

His voice was very low, only Tuo Ba Ye could hear it.

"Come on, let me see what you can do," Tuo Ba Ye said with high fighting spirit, not intimidated.

Du Hao did not use any weapons, just like Tuo Ba Ye, fighting bare-handed.

They almost simultaneously threw punches, their fists leaving only shadows as they instantly reached each other.

Surprisingly, they did not collide, but hit each other's bodies.

This kind of battle not only tested their offensive power but also their defensive capabilities.

Both let out a闷哼 and then retreated.

Du Hao's strength was not inferior, and both retreated five steps.

Both were clearly confident in their strength, and encountering an evenly matched opponent, they were both surprised and excited.

"Roar!"

They both roared and pounced again.

Their battle had no technique, like wild beasts, not defending but attacking with all their might.

Their defenses were also strong, and after several hard clashes, both were injured to varying degrees.

In this aspect, Tuo Ba Ye was very confident, as he believed his recovery ability was stronger.

"Xiao Ye is at a disadvantage by fighting this way!" Tuo Ba Wei said anxiously.

Xia Yuxuan's eyes were red: "Xiao Ye is so young, can he handle it?"

"Xiao Ye is gradually taking the initiative; he will definitely win," Tuo Ba Wei said.

He turned to Du Yusheng and said, "Du Yusheng, this Du Hao is not a true human. If I am not mistaken, he should be a strong member of a certain race from the Southern Wilderness, right?"

"Du Hao is a slave I bought, indeed a strong member of the Southern Wilderness! According to the family rules, slaves can participate in the matches," Du Yusheng said coldly.

The older generation of strong members could probably see through Du Hao's identity, and Du Yusheng did not hide it.

Du Yusheng's statement about Du Hao being a slave left Tuo Ba Wei speechless.

Slaves are an important part of a family, but a slave as strong as Du Hao was extremely rare.

Si Tu Bowu's expression changed several times as he watched Du Hao's performance, deep in thought.

Du Hao's strength was most evident to Tuo Ba Ye. If not for his incredible physical strength, he would have lost.

After a long and intense battle, Tuo Ba Ye gradually took the initiative, thanks to his rapid recovery ability.

"You should get down!" Tuo Ba Ye did not want to continue the struggle and began a fierce attack with the Overlord Divine Fist.

The Overlord Divine Fist, one punch after another, each more fierce than the last.

Du Hao's strength could match Tuo Ba Ye's, but his martial techniques were far inferior.

After several hits, Du Hao could no longer hold on and retreated from the arena.

His defense was indeed strong; so many punches hit him, but no bones were broken. Other Ninth Star Innate Martial Gods would have had their bones broken by Tuo Ba Ye's punches.

In the end, Tuo Ba Ye won with his martial techniques, sweeping away three strong members of a major family.

The Tuo Ba family's complete victory shocked all the spectators.

Especially Du Hao's strength left a deep impression, and many spectators were worried for Tuo Ba Ye.

The match ended, and Du Yusheng could hardly believe it: "How is this possible? Du Hao actually lost to a four-year-old child!"

"Du Yusheng, didn't you lose as well?" Tuo Ba Wei did not forget to taunt Du Yusheng.

Du Yusheng's face was extremely ugly, but he could not refute it.

Si Tu Bowu looked at Tuo Ba Ye as he walked down from the arena, his eyes shining: "Tuo Ba Ye's fist technique is exquisite, probably not a family technique of the Tuo Ba family. It seems Tuo Ba Ye has many secrets we don't know. His potential is boundless. I now hope he cannot enter the cultivation sects, for the Warring States would surely become much stronger!"

Tuo Ba Ye was only four years old, with boundless potential.

Even if he did not enter a cultivation sect, his strength could surpass the Innate Martial God stage and enter the Qi Condensation stage.

Just like Tuo Xiong, whose strength was just a little short of entering the Qi Condensation stage. Unfortunately, he disappeared. Otherwise, with the help of a spirit-attracting talisman, he would likely have become a Qi Condensation stage strong.

Some powerful countries still had Qi Condensation stage strong members, but they rarely acted.

However, these people did not join cultivation sects and were not bound by the rules of the cultivation world. They could participate in battles, which was a huge deterrent to other countries.

If the Warring States had such a strong member, they would not fear the invasion of the Southern Wilderness tribes.

Thinking about this, Si Tu Bowu also had selfish thoughts.

On the arena, Tuo Ba Ye accepted the cheers of the crowd and then slowly walked down.

This intense battle left him very tired and drained. It was the first time he had encountered such a fierce opponent.

Regardless, encountering a strong opponent made him very excited, and he could not calm down for a long time.

He had a feeling that after this intense battle, his physical strength would greatly improve, and the first transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Divine and Demonic Body might also break through.

Tuo Ba Ye's greatest wish now was to successfully complete the first transformation of the Divine and Demonic Body.

Once the Divine and Demonic Body was completed, he could start the second transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Divine and Demonic Body. He had already decided to cultivate the Divine Symbol Body, which he was most skilled at.

He cultivated the path of divine symbols, and not cultivating the Divine Symbol Body would be a waste.

Of course, no one had ever cultivated the Divine Symbol Body, so there was no precedent. He would have to explore it slowly, which might be difficult. But Tuo Ba Ye was determined to continue and believed he would succeed.

"Xiao Ye's demeanor seems to have changed, becoming more steady and resolute," Tuo Ba Wei exclaimed.

Xia Yuxuan said with relief, "After several intense battles, Xiao Ye has grown! However, he has a broader world ahead of him and cannot stay at home."

"Our Tuo Ba family is finally going to have a true strong member, which is something to be happy about," Tuo Zhong said excitedly.

(I'm sorry, it's a bit late today!)
