Chapter 1717: Fierce Battle with Song Tianqiang!

This time, Ye Yuan's opponent was a Divine Lord Fourth Layer.

Yet, he was still sent flying with a single move.

After landing, that Divine Lord Fourth Layer still looked bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened.

Having comprehended the law of space for a long time, Ye Yuan's application of laws had gradually become more adept and ingenious.

A Divine Lord Fourth Layer was no longer a match for him in a single exchange.

“This Ye Yuan, he’s actually this strong!”

“No wonder he dares to provoke Xiahou Yun; it seems he really does have some skill!”

“A Divine Lord Second Layer can actually defeat a mid-stage Divine Lord; the law of space is truly powerful!”

“But no matter how strong he is, he can’t possibly be a match for Xiahou Yun.”

…

Ye Yuan’s ability to defeat a Divine Lord Fourth Layer left everyone stunned.

From the early to mid stage of the Divine Lord realm is a major hurdle; a Divine Lord Third Layer, without extraordinary means, basically cannot defeat a Divine Lord Fourth Layer.

Yet Ye Yuan, only at the Divine Lord Second Layer, had done it.

This finally made everyone realize that Ye Yuan was not to be trifled with!

But they still didn’t believe Ye Yuan could defeat Xiahou Yun.

After all, Xiahou Yun was too strong.

In the second round, without any suspense, his opponent directly conceded.

The aura he exuded was too powerful; no one had the courage to take a single move from him.

In the third round, Ye Yuan continued his winning streak, once again defeating a Divine Lord Fourth Layer.

Xiahou Yun’s opponent conceded directly again.

After three rounds, no one had forced Xiahou Yun to make a move!

“Rest for one day; the fourth round will begin tomorrow!” After the third round ended, the referee announced.

After three consecutive rounds, some were already nearing their physical limits.

Hearing this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone dispersed, and Ning Tianping also came over, saying excitedly, “Milord, I’ve made it through three rounds!”

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, “If you couldn’t even get through three rounds, I’d kick you back to Tianying.”

Ning Tianping laughed heartily and said, “Milord, I feel like I’m dreaming right now, actually sparring with so many strong opponents! Most importantly, I can crush them! Haha, what a thrill!”

Ning Tianping’s loud laughter immediately drew sidelong glances, and many cast hostile looks at him.

This guy was too arrogant!

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Your current strength is indeed at the upper level of the imperial city’s standard. But I think you’ll leave them further and further behind.”

Ning Tianping said excitedly, “Hehe, Milord is my benefactor, completely changing my life!”

…

After a day of rest, the Hundred Battle Arena resumed.

This time, the number of spectators on the stands had noticeably increased.

Because from the third round onward, the battles had clearly become more intense.

Each group had about four hundred people; after three rounds, more than half had been eliminated, leaving only about fifty.

These fifty were the cream of the crop.

Except for Ye Yuan, a Divine Lord Second Layer, the rest were all mid-stage Divine Lord powerhouses.

But now, no one dared to underestimate Ye Yuan.

“The fourth round begins; first match: Ye Yuan versus Song Tianqiang!” said the referee.

Ye Yuan was startled, not expecting to be the first to go in this round.

The arrangement of matches was all handled by the Aurora Imperial City.

Having hosted the Hundred Battle Arena so many times, the Aurora Imperial City naturally had plenty of experience.

They would arrange matches based on the strength of the martial artists, trying to keep the strong ones until the end.

Clearly, in their view, Ye Yuan’s strength was enough to defeat a Divine Lord Fourth Layer at best.

Against a Divine Lord Fifth Layer, he had absolutely no chance, which was why they arranged this match.

“Ye Yuan versus Song Tianqiang! This is going to be interesting!”

“Heh, this kid is insufferably arrogant; I want to see just what his limits are!”

“Song Tianqiang’s strength is definitely among the formidable Divine Lord Fifth Layers; Ye Yuan’s myth ends here!”

…

No one expected the first match to feature the hot topic, Ye Yuan.

They were all eager to see where Ye Yuan’s limits lay.

Clearly, Song Tianqiang was the best touchstone.

But no one thought Ye Yuan would win.

Ye Yuan defeating a Divine Lord Third Layer across realms was easy to understand.

Ye Yuan defeating a Divine Lord Fourth Layer across realms, they could tolerate.

If Ye Yuan could even defeat a Divine Lord Fifth Layer, that would be too monstrous!

Song Tianqiang looked at Ye Yuan and said, “You’re pretty good. If you could break through to the Divine Lord Fourth Layer, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be your match. But for now, concede; you have no hope!”

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Why are you all following the same script? Can’t you say something different? Without fighting, who knows the outcome?”

Song Tianqiang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Since that’s the case, I’ll let you know that the law of space doesn’t transcend everything!”

Undoubtedly, Ye Yuan already possessed the combat power of a Divine Lord Fourth Layer.

But between a Divine Lord Fourth Layer and a Divine Lord Fifth Layer, there was also a huge gap.

Moreover, Song Tianqiang was an outstanding one among them!

“Tingyue Sacred Martial Fist!”

Song Tianqiang threw a punch, carrying the world force of a Divine Lord Fifth Layer, almost shattering the arena.

Seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

Previously, Song Tianqiang had subdued his opponents with a single move; no one had forced him to go all out.

Now, they finally witnessed Song Tianqiang’s power!

Suddenly, everyone’s faces changed dramatically as they looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

“What is he doing? Going head-on with Song Tianqiang?”

“My god, isn’t he going to use the law of space to evade this punch?”

“No! This guy is also a body cultivator, mid-stage Fourth Revolution Golden Body! This guy has been hiding deep!”

…

Exclamations arose from the crowd.

Because they discovered that not only had Ye Yuan comprehended the law of space, but he was also a body cultivator at the mid-stage Fourth Revolution Golden Body!

Mid-stage Fourth Revolution Golden Body was equivalent to martial artists from the Divine Lord Fourth to Sixth Layers.

Ye Yuan had just entered mid-stage Fourth Revolution Golden Body, with strength roughly equivalent to a Divine Lord Fourth Layer.

These people all thought Ye Yuan’s greatest reliance was the law of space, but they never expected his physical strength to be even greater than his martial arts!

“Qiankun Dragon Claw!”

Boom!

A tremendous roar rang out, and both retreated dozens of steps.

Song Tianqiang’s expression changed slightly; as a Divine Lord Fifth Layer, he had actually fought to a draw with Ye Yuan, who had just entered the mid-stage Fourth Revolution Golden Body.

This disgrace, he could not accept!

Song Tianqiang moved, throwing another punch at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan did not back down either, using the Qiankun Dragon Claw to engage Song Tianqiang in battle.

Golden light flickered on Ye Yuan’s body, dragon aura overflowing, and he was not at a disadvantage at all!

Below the stage, the contestants were already dumbfounded.

How could they have known that Ye Yuan’s true strength was this formidable!

Earlier, they had mocked Ye Yuan for his low cultivation level, saying he was just here to be cannon fodder.

Now, they realized that they themselves were the cannon fodder.

Their strength wasn’t even enough to force Ye Yuan to reveal his true power!
