Chapter 14

Ye Jun was stunned!

Ye Xiaosheng's grandfather, Elder Ye Bin, his face turned dark in an instant.

The clan leader frowned and glanced at Ye Bin, as if to say, "Your grandson is really a waste, and I even took the risk to open the Ancestral Pool." Ye Bin's face turned red immediately.

Liu Xiong and Liu Yan had complicated expressions, full of disappointment and even some anger.

Cai Qiang was taken aback, his expression somewhat stiff.

Then, the corner of Ye Jun's mouth twitched. It was as if he had been punched suddenly. Now he was in trouble. Ye Jun Tian had already achieved three consecutive victories before the match with him. No matter what, Ye Hui could only be at the bottom. So, wasn't his earlier concession in vain?

Moreover, Ye Jun Tian's entry into the top three of the group was a foregone conclusion. And his entry into the Wood Rank disciples was also a certainty. Because there were six slots for the promotion to Wood Rank disciples this time. The third round of group matches was just a ranking match, not affecting the overall situation. Even if Ye Jun Tian was at the bottom, he could still enter the Wood Rank disciples.

"Ye Jun, how does the taste of 'regret medicine' feel?" Ye Jun Tian looked at him indifferently.

"I never regret. I'll show you what it means to be invincible with my fists in a moment." Ye Jun's words lacked confidence.

"My brother won, my brother won, my brother is a Wood Rank disciple..." Ye Jun's crazy shouts finally woke everyone up. Immediately, the Ye Qingxiao lineage burst into thunderous applause, but few of the Ye family members responded. However, many disciples from the Cai and Li families, who came from outside the clan, clapped.

"Jun Tian, you haven't disgraced your father. Well done!" Ye Qingxiao, even though he knew the outcome, was very pleased. The old man stood up and scanned the elders who wanted to advance to the Elder Council with a playful look. He hummed, "Unfortunately, my son didn't give you the chance."

"Whether or not there's a chance, I, Ye Handong, will challenge you in half a month. A life-or-death battle! If you die, you can't just leave a spirit tablet in the Elder Council. Do you dare sign a life-or-death agreement?" Ye Handong said with a cold laugh.

"Sign, why not sign? In half a month, I, Ye Qingxiao, will definitely buy the largest wreath to send over. Ye Handong, I hope you don't cause too much trouble in hell." Ye Qingxiao replied with a strong statement, leaving Ye Handong only able to tremble his lips.

However, Liu Xiong didn't leave. He probably wanted to see Ye Jun Tian get humiliated before he would go.

"The second match, Ye Jun versus Ye Xiaosheng." Elder Ye Quan announced.

Both of them leaped onto the stage with a beautiful flip. Ye Jun Tian looked closely and saw that Ye Jun's three bloodlines were slightly vibrating. He didn't expect this guy to also be a third-level Bloodline Vibration expert, no wonder he was so arrogant.

"Rolling Dragon Palm!" Ye Jun immediately used the Ye family's high-level Earth Rank martial technique. It seemed he urgently needed to regain his dignity.

The palm moved like a dragon, undulating and rising, and the entire body rolled in the air like a coiling dragon. The momentum it generated was quite impressive, immediately earning thunderous applause from the observing disciples.

"Nine Crane Claws!" To everyone's surprise, Ye Xiaosheng also used a high-level Ye family martial technique, his body twisting into the shape of a fierce crane.

His hands extended like the sharp claws of a crane, rising three meters high and fiercely grabbing at Ye Jun's rolling body. The air around them was stirred up like a small wave.

Bang!

Ye Jun was indeed extraordinary. Ye Xiaosheng didn't grab him, but a Rolling Dragon Palm directly struck him, causing him to fall quickly from the air.

However, just as Ye Jun's mouth curled up, preparing to land in a victorious pose, the situation suddenly changed. Ye Xiaosheng's body, which was about to hit the stage, suddenly and strangely slammed into the stage, and his hands forcefully hit the floor.

Using the rebound force from the floor, Ye Xiaosheng actually bounced back up. In the air, his feet twisted in a strange crisscross motion. As a result, Ye Jun's falling body was tightly entangled by Ye Xiaosheng's feet. Ye Xiaosheng suddenly shouted, "Down!"

He used his hands as feet, lunging forward, and Ye Jun desperately tried to break free from Ye Xiaosheng's foot entanglement. But it was too late. Ye Xiaosheng had already dragged him to the edge of the stage. Finally, Ye Xiaosheng released his hands and threw Ye Jun down hard, causing him to fall heavily off the stage.

Ye Jun Tian was also stunned. Just as Ye Xiaosheng shouted, he noticed his third bloodline immediately vibrating, a surge of blood energy injected into his hands and feet. As a result, Ye Jun was defeated.

This guy, he had hidden his strength deeply. It must be a secret technique for bloodline cultivation, which can suppress blood energy and hide bloodline vibrations. Ye Jun Tian coldly snorted in his heart. But he also became more cautious.

He was afraid that Ye Xiaosheng might have more than three bloodline vibrations. If it was four, he would be a tough opponent in the group ranking matches. A fourth-level Bloodline Vibration, even Ye Jun Tian had to take seriously.

The entire audience was somewhat dazed. The top seed in the Wood Rank disciple selection, Ye Jun, had actually been defeated by Ye Xiaosheng, who was the true dark horse. However, many people found it hard to believe that this dark horse had lost to Ye Jun Tian in just one move.

Doesn't that mean Ye Jun Tian is the true dark horse and ace?

Is there something else going on here? Or is there some other 'meaning'?

Ye Jun Tian noticed that after Ye Xiaosheng's victory, he stood on the stage and even blinked at him. What does that mean? Provocation, or telling him that the previous match was a deliberate loss, or a mistake?

If it was a deliberate loss, that shouldn't be possible; there was no need for it. Even a fool wouldn't make such a choice. If it wasn't deliberate, then it must be the second option—a mistake.

"Ye Jun Tian, we'll meet again in the ranking match." Ye Xiaosheng was now full of confidence and arrogance. Because he wouldn't have another chance to face Ye Jun Tian in the group matches.

"Hehe, sure, see you there." Ye Jun Tian's calm response left the audience stunned again. This guy was too arrogant. Just a bit of brute strength, and he couldn't even beat Ye Jun. Isn't there a limit to arrogance? Arrogance without ability is just a prelude to a beating.

"Shit." Cai Qiang snorted.

"Hehe, even shit can shine sometimes." Li Qingyue actually laughed. This woman, when she laughed, was indeed quite charming.

"Ye Jun and Ye Xiaosheng are at the same cultivation level, both with three bloodlines. However, Ye Jun was careless, thinking he had a sure win. Second, Ye Xiaosheng's techniques are very strange. Liu Yan, have you seen such techniques before?" Liu Xiong tugged at his beard and asked.

"Never seen them, strange. Does that kid have a different master?" Liu Yan racked his brain but finally shook his head.

"Just returned from outside, trained for many years. He must have a different master, and I suspect he might have joined another sect." Liu Xiong snorted.

"Even better, in tomorrow's ranking match, that brat Ye Jun Tian will definitely be at the bottom. Being brutally beaten is a sure thing. We can enjoy the show, right?" Liu Yan stroked his chin and laughed.

"Next, after a half-hour break, it will be Ye Jun's turn to take out his anger on Ye Jun Tian. Ye Jun miscalculated, automatically conceding to Ye Hui, and now he's been defeated by Ye Xiaosheng. Who else can he take out his anger on? Someone might even be crippled, and then the subsequent matches will have nothing to do with that scum Ye Jun Tian." Liu Xiong was quite confident.

But just as Liu Xiong finished speaking, Ye Jun jumped back onto the stage, his face dark and angry, and said, "No need to wait, Ye Jun Tian, if you have the guts, come up and fight right now. Elder Ye Quan, do you agree?"

"As long as Ye Jun Tian agrees, I have no objections." Ye Quan was serious.

"Boring, I haven't rested enough yet." Ye Jun Tian didn't take the bait, making Ye Jun's face turn purple with anger. He pointed at Ye Jun Tian and shouted, "Ye Jun Tian, are you a man? Do you have the guts? Do you have any backbone at all?"
