Chapter 39

On the third arena, the first match was between Ye Juntian and Ye Xie. Up until now, Ye Xie had only lost to Ye Dongtian.

With a cold expression, Ye Xie stood on the arena, staring at Ye Juntian and said, "Ye Juntian, whoever wins between us will advance to the top two of the group. I won't hold back."

"I've never been soft, I'm hard!" Ye Juntian glanced at him indifferently, and was momentarily taken aback.

Because he noticed that Ye Xie had broken through to the fourth level of Pulse Movement. This guy was still at the third level yesterday, how did he reach the fourth level today? There must be a conspiracy. He glanced sideways and saw Ye Dongtian looking at the arena with a playful expression. Ye Juntian understood.

As a child from a poor family, Ye Xie's sudden breakthrough must have something to do with Ye Dongtian. Ye Dongtian is the son of Ye Muyuan, the chief steward of the Ye Family. Naturally, as the chief steward, he has reaped many benefits. The cultivation resources he can provide to Ye Dongtian are certainly not few.

And Ye Xie's breakthrough is likely related to Ye Dongtian. As long as Ye Xie knocks him off the arena and then loses to Ye Dongtian, Ye Dongtian will enter the final round as the top of the group, and Ye Xie will be the second strongest to enter.

What a well-calculated plan, Ye Juntian sneered inwardly. I'll make you lose both your wife and your soldiers.

"Watch my 'Thai Palm'!" Ye Xie sneered, raised his hand into a palm, and pounced like a whirlwind. Ye Juntian was sure that this Thai Palm was also given by Ye Dongtian.

Because, with Ye Xie alone, it would be impossible to obtain such a high-level Earth-grade martial technique. The highest martial technique in the Ye Family is Heaven-grade, and Earth-grade is already quite good. It is generally provided for Iron-grade disciples to cultivate.

Ye Xie doesn't have the qualifications to obtain it. The Thai Palm emphasizes the speed of the palm like the wind, and the pressure of the palm like a mountain. It has the momentum of a mountain pressing down. A gust of air formed a small storm and struck Ye Juntian.

Ye Juntian dodged with a quick movement. He originally intended to kick this guy off the arena with one kick. However, Ye Juntian changed his mind. He couldn't show too much prowess, because Ye Xie is at the fourth level of Pulse Movement, and the few geniuses of the Ye Family can all see it.

If he easily dealt with him, wouldn't those geniuses pay even more 'attention' to him? They would come up with some bad ideas to undermine him. So, he decided to stall for a while.

"Watch my 'Earth Annihilation'!" Ye Juntian sneered, transforming the Heaven-Defying Sword technique of 'Empty Gate' into a palm strike. His palm flipped, like a precious sword soaring and pressing down.

"Juntian is really smart, he can transform his palm into a sword. His adaptability is extremely strong," Ye Jinghe said with a smile.

"Hehe, this kid is sharp. However, his momentum is slightly lacking," Ye Qingshao stroked his chin with a hint of pride.

However, the old man muttered in his heart. His son has the real strength of the fifth level of Pulse Movement. Logically, his momentum shouldn't be so weak.

What's going on?

Ye Qingshao didn't understand Ye Juntian's intentions, which were to create a situation where he barely matched Ye Xie and had to struggle hard to win, to confuse Ye Hua and the others.

Thus, they went back and forth. Most of the time, Ye Juntian was dodging.

After more than a hundred moves, both were panting like bulls.

It's enough, no more playing. Ye Juntian muttered in his heart, and kicked out with a flying kick. With a crisp sound, it hit Ye Xie's buttocks. The guy stumbled and fell to the ground.

Ye Juntian followed up, lifting his foot to kick Ye Xie's thigh. However, at this moment, Ye Xie suddenly flipped over, and a shadow of light flashed in his hand. A black dart flew quickly, reaching Ye Juntian in an instant.

Ye Juntian pressed his palm down, and a surge of blood energy came out. It directly knocked the dart downward, and it finally hit Ye Xie's buttocks, making it bloody.

At the same time, Ye Juntian stepped on the dart. The dart, which was only as wide as a finger, was completely embedded in Ye Xie's buttocks.

The pain made the guy scream, echoing throughout the arena. Ye Juntian picked up Ye Xie and showed his bloody buttocks to the audience.

Then he asked the host Ye Jinxiang, "Elder, you are the law enforcement elder. How should this be handled?"

Because, unless both parties agree, the use of weapons is not allowed in the competition. Ye Xie secretly used a dart, which is clearly a violation.

"Ye Xie used a dart without the agreement of both parties during the competition, which is a violation. Take him away and give him fifty ox whips, and lock him in the dungeon for half a year," Ye Jinxiang said solemnly.

Since Ye Xie has no support, this favor can be given to Ye Qingshao's lineage. It also shows his fairness, justice, and integrity as the law enforcement elder. Of course, if it were someone else, Ye Jinxiang might have a different opinion.

"Brother Dongtian..." Ye Xie shouted as he was about to be taken away, hoping that Ye Dongtian's father, Ye Muyuan, would intercede for him.

"What are you, daring to use a hidden dart in secret? The Elder is fair, and it's good that he beat you, you bastard," Ye Dongtian said loudly, seemingly righteous.

"It wasn't you..." Ye Xie was furious, about to expose the truth.

"What is it, Ye Xie, you need to recognize yourself, think about your family," Ye Dongtian said with a hidden threat.

Ye Xie immediately became soft. He thought about how Ye Dongtian's father is the chief steward of the Ye Family, and could easily destroy his impoverished branch family.

Even the family head wouldn't raise an eyebrow. After all, his family is far from the main lineage.

If traced back, it would probably go back 500 years to be considered the same lineage. The family head wouldn't care about a poor family that only has a distant connection after hundreds of years.

"Ye Xie, there's something you might not know," Ye Juntian said.

"Ye Juntian, I used the dart in secret, I accept the punishment," Ye Xie quickly said under the glare of Ye Dongtian's eyes.

"Hehe." Ye Juntian pulled out a piece of cloth, wrapped it around his fingers, and pulled out the dart. Ye Xie screamed, and the dart was pulled out by Ye Juntian's two fingers. Then, Ye Juntian held up the dart for everyone to see and said, "Do you recognize this dart?"

Ye Dongtian and his father Ye Muyuan's faces changed.

"Isn't this the 'Flying Cloud Dart'?" someone exclaimed.

"Exactly, Elder, you should recognize this dart," Ye Juntian stepped up to Ye Jinxiang and showed him the dart.

Ye Jinxiang looked at it and passed it to the other elders.

"It looks a bit like the Flying Cloud Dart," Ye Jinxiang said.

"It's not just a bit like it, it is the Flying Cloud Dart. In our family, only Steward Muyuan can use it. It's also the signature of Steward Ye," Ye Jinghe said with a faint hum.

"The Flying Cloud Dart, as fast as lightning. And it requires special techniques to use. Because it contains poison. If the user doesn't know how to use it, they will be poisoned first. In the Ye Family, only Steward Ye can use it. Ye Xie, what do you have to say? Are you going to confess, or do you want the Elder to use the strictest 'family law' of the Ye Family?" Ye Juntian said with a stern face.

"You scoundrel!" Ye Muyuan suddenly leaped into the air and kicked Ye Xie, sending him flying dozens of meters away, his chest covered in blood.

Then, the old man bowed and said, "Sorry, a Flying Cloud Dart was stolen from my house recently, and I've been worried. I didn't expect that a family thief is hard to guard against. It's a shame that Dongtian even called this scoundrel a friend and invited him to drink at home."

"Steward, you are slandering me, I didn't. This was given to me by Dongtian, yesterday..." Ye Xie shouted in anger, spitting blood, but before he could finish, Ye Muyuan kicked him again, trying to deal a severe blow. However, his leg was blocked by a powerful surge of blood energy.

"Steward, why are you so eager to act? If you act, it should be the Elder's job. Are you trying to cover something up?" Ye Qingshao stood in front of Ye Xie.

"What am I covering up? This scoundrel should be punished by everyone. He plotted against Juntian, and I am doing it for your sake. Of course, this dart was stolen from my house, and I have some responsibility. Please, Elder, enforce the law. Severely punish this scoundrel. Immediately disable his martial arts, lock him in the dungeon, and never let him out. Otherwise, letting him out will tarnish the reputation of our Ye Family," Ye Muyuan said.
