eturn it to him right now, not a penny less.”Tang Feng said, "There's no need for that. Since the money has already been received, just do the work. It's just two legs anyway. They all look the same."...Everyone saw that Ye Bufan didn't seem surprised, thinking he had just gone to the bathroom.

All eyes were on this side, yet no one noticed a young man who slipped into the front row of the audience, transforming right before their eyes into Ye Tian's likeness - none other than Ye Bufan.

He saw that Song Yaoyi had not appeared at all. Even if Song Jian was willing to use his daughter against him, he ran to the latrine in advance and swapped identities with Ye Erlang.

The Royal Arena and Earth's venue are not the same, though heavily guarded, it is only at the entrance.

Once inside, it was pure chaos with no organized seating arrangement. As a result, Ye Bufan easily squeezed his way to the front row.

Seeing him squeeze over, the middle-aged man beside him was about to get angry, but suddenly a golden coin appeared in front of his eyes.

The middle-aged man's anger vanished instantly, and his face lit up with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"Hey kid, here's your spot, I'm gonna go to the back."

After he finished speaking, fearing Ye Bufan might go back on his word, he got up and scurried away to the back.

Although the match was exciting, it's nowhere near as satisfying as all these gold coins.

Ye Bufan sat in this position, looking up at the stage. This distance was just right for his divine sense to control Ye Erlang without any influence.

In front of the stage, no one noticed that Ye Bufan had already changed. The draw continued.

Ye Bufan reached out and picked a porcelain bowl, lifting the lid to reveal a bright red ball inside.

For some reason, the Lingxiao Academy seemed to be having terrible luck today. Every time they played, they would always catch the red ball, which even Zheng Sanbao found surprising.

If it weren't for him using his divine sense to tightly enclose the three porcelain bowls, I would have suspected someone was using them to cheat.

Song Jian glanced over here with a slight hint of nervousness. In his mind, the best outcome would be for Song Yaoji to catch the red ball, defeat Ye Bufan, and then intentionally let Fan Xiaofeng win.

This way, Cang Feng Academy wins two victories. As long as they win the final match, they can tie with Ling Xiao Academy.

Then, with a few more tweaks, he could finally kick Ye Bufan out.

It seemed his luck was good, things were going his way. When Song Yaoji lifted the porcelain bowl, there, inside, was another red ball.

She held a small ball in her palm, and looked at Ye Bufan with a sneer.

"It seems your luck isn't very good, running into me, the county princess, right away."

She had been humiliated by Ye Bufan at Baihu Tower last time, and her heart was filled with resentment. She wished she could beat this guy in front of her to a pulp and vent her anger.

Ye Erlang raised his hand to touch his nose and said with a smile, "I don't feel that way at all. I think my luck is pretty good."

"You're all talk. Just wait and see what this county mistress can do to you."

Song Yaoji was full of confidence. She had defeated Ye Bufan twice in a row before, so in her view this time she was already sure to win.

Ye Erlang smiled again, ignoring him, and then walked towards the platform.

Song Yaoji followed closely behind, leaping into the air and landing before him.

"You pathetic waste of space, your dirty tricks won't work now. I wonder what other pathetic schemes you have up your sleeve."

She lost to Ye Bufan last time, defeated by the Bitter Frost and Gentle Wind. Now there are rules for the stage, no poison is allowed.

In her eyes, the other party was definitely not a match for her soul-piercing attack no matter what.

A playful smile crept onto Ye Erlang's face: "Princess, there's something I haven't told you."

Actually, I've always been letting you have your way. If things really got physical, you wouldn't stand a chance against me.

"Bah, you shameless wretch, go to hell!"

As for what Ye Erlang said, Song Yaoji naturally didn't believe a single word. She thought he was just making a big show, trying to scare her.

She flashed before him, appearing in front of the opponent in an instant, and then slapped out with her palm.

Meanwhile, the mental technique was activated, and the spirit spear directly attacked the opponent's sea of consciousness.

Spiritual cultivation techniques can directly attack a person's soul, with immense power. They are incredibly rare, but anyone who possesses such a technique can fight beyond their own level.

That is why, although Song Yaoyao was only at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, she was the strongest among the Tianfeng Royal Family. Even against a powerhouse in the Void Refinement Realm, she had a chance of winning, and could even kill them across ranks.

Song Ya's face was filled with immense confidence. Based on her experience from the previous two battles, Ye Bufan would inevitably be unable to withstand her onslaught.

But this time it was somewhat unexpected. Under the attack of the Soul Piercing Needle, Ye Bufan not only didn't fall into a state of mental confusion, but instead a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Bufan is now at the level of a peak Refining Void Realm fighter. The reason he still sends Ye Erlang to fight is to guard against spiritual techniques.

Now that his sea of consciousness is injured, he fears mental attacks the most. Otherwise, with his soul-slicing blade, he would be far more powerful than the opponent.

Ye Erlang was completely different. As a super bio-engineered human created in Area 51, his mind was completely empty, with no soul whatsoever.

Everything Ye Bufan did before was under his mental manipulation, and that strand of mental energy in the sea of consciousness was like a small fish in the ocean, impossible to capture.

In this situation, no matter how powerful Song Yaoci's mental techniques were, there was no target to attack. Since there were no enemies, there was no place for her martial arts to be used.

That's precisely why, when the Divine Soul Piercer was unleashed, it landed completely empty, with absolutely no response.

Ye Erlang's actions remained unaffected. With a single reach, he grasped Song Yaoji's palm and followed through with a kick to her abdomen.

"Ah!"

Song Yaoji was completely caught off guard. Originally confident and prepared to give Ye Bufan a good beating, she wanted to avenge her previous humiliation.

But unexpectedly, the other person wasn't affected by her mental attack at all, and instead, it was she who ended up suffering the consequences.

Ye Erlang's physical body was incredibly tough, his combat power comparable to that of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. This kick sent Song Yaoji flying over ten meters, crashing into the railing of the ring with a bang.

The entire audience was stunned, especially those from the Tianfeng Imperial Family. They all knew how powerful this princess was.

Within the royal family, Song Yaoji was completely invincible. Even within the Tianfeng Empire, there was no one of her age who could rival her.

I originally thought this time's move was sure to succeed, and I would definitely win the game. However, as soon as I made my move, I was beaten up by the other party.

Song Jian's expression changed drastically. Song Yaoji's mental skill was something he had obtained after great effort and at a huge cost.

We have always been victorious in battle, but today our tactics seem to be ineffective.

The Cangfeng Academy side was also like this, Feng Xingkong and Feng Tianxiang were both quite surprised.

Before Ye Bufan appeared, they considered the Princess as their primary opponent for this newcomer ranking tournament. They were very clear about how terrifying her mental attacks could be.

But now that she has met Ye Bufan, Song Yaoki has become utterly vulnerable, unable to even withstand a single move.

The most stimulated was the county princess herself. She was usually high above others, admired by thousands.

Now she was brutally kicked by Ye Bufan, leaving a huge footprint on her abdomen. This humiliation was unbearable for her.

"You piece of trash, I'm going to fight you!"

Song Yaoji let out a furious roar and charged forward once more.

With a punch that erupted into a flurry of fists, imbued with boundless killing intent, Ye Bufan was instantly engulfed.

At the same time, Shenhun also unleashed her full strength with a powerful attack.ly, such eagerness to have him accept his inheritance, if there wasn't something fishy about it, even ghosts wouldn't believe it.After going through so much, he deeply understands a truth: you can't e...
