Chapter 2361: Alright

Suddenly, the cage fell silent.

People suddenly realized that the vast cage now held only a handful of people.

Counting carefully, only nineteen remained in the cage.

These nineteen were, without a doubt, the strongest nineteen!

Many of them had fought multiple opponents and slain their foes.

In a cage teeming with experts, this showed just how powerful they were.

Just now, the last battle had ended, and everyone tacitly refrained from attacking further.

After such a great battle, their energy was also heavily depleted.

Fighting in this state was not safe.

They needed to contend for the top spot in their strongest state.

Pang Zhen swept his gaze over the crowd and said in a deep voice, “Those who remain are all old acquaintances! Half a day to adjust; after half a day, regardless of how much we’ve recovered, it will be the final battle! Does anyone have any objections?”

Everyone nodded in agreement, clearly approving of the proposal.

“I have an objection!” Yu Tanzhi suddenly said.

Pang Zhen frowned and said, “What objection do you have?”

Yu Tanzhi looked toward Ye Yuan’s direction and said with a smile, “There’s someone who has rested three full days more than us. How do we account for that?”

At these words, everyone looked toward Ye Yuan, their expressions filled with great wariness.

Clearly, this person referred to Ye Yuan.

Even Wan Zhen had been challenged by many experts.

But Ye Yuan had none!

Half a day was not enough to recover to peak condition.

How much one could recover depended on one’s own ability.

Yet Ye Yuan had not fought for three whole days!

Now, Ye Yuan had shed the lethargy from his earlier fight with Wan Zhen; he was full of vigor, clearly at his peak.

Ye Yuan was already troublesome, and now he was in better shape than them.

How to break through?

Pang Zhen’s frown deepened; he had indeed overlooked this issue.

“Kid, what do you think should be done?” Pang Zhen looked at Ye Yuan and said.

Ye Yuan hadn’t expected to suddenly become the target of everyone’s hostility.

Seeing Pang Zhen’s question, he just spread his hands and said with a smile, “I’m fine with anything. You all can decide as you see fit.”

He truly didn’t care, and besides, these words were clearly directed at him.

After all, if they really wanted to raise an objection, they could have everyone rest fully before starting the battle.

But Yu Tanzhi had clearly turned all the blame toward him.

Ye Yuan’s indifferent attitude greatly annoyed Pang Zhen.

It was as if in Ye Yuan’s eyes, these so-called favored sons of heaven didn’t exist at all.

His demeanor seemed to say, do whatever you want, in the end you’ll all lose.

Sure enough, seeing Ye Yuan’s attitude, these favored sons all frowned, feeling slighted.

“Hehe, I have an idea. Why don’t we all gang up on him first and take him out? Then things will be easier,” Yu Tanzhi said with a smile.

“Oh? That’s a good idea!” a Son of Adversity said with a smile.

Although they all disdained joining forces with others, truth be told, they were quite wary of Ye Yuan.

He had even defeated Wan Zhen; how could they not be wary?

Of course, they also had a small thought: to force Ye Yuan to back down.

Aren’t you cocky?

Didn’t you say we should decide?

Well then, we’ll deal with you!

Though none of them were at their peak, the combined force of over a dozen of the strongest Sons of Adversity was a terrifying lineup.

No one here dared to face so many at once!

Even if they were at their peak.

“Hehe, kid, since you said you’re fine with anything, we’ll do it this way. What do you think?” Pang Zhen said with a sneer.

Others looked at him with fear and respect.

Even these Sons of Adversity were wary of his identity.

But Ye Yuan was not!

He saw no trace of awe in Ye Yuan’s eyes!

It was not only contempt for him but also for his ancestor, the Thunder Ancestor!

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan grinned and calmly uttered two words: “Alright.”

He knew they were all wary of him, but so what!

The assembled prodigies were stunned, as if they couldn’t believe their ears.

Alright?

Was this guy stupid?

He wanted to challenge the eighteen strongest alone?

Even Yu Tanzhi was taken aback by Ye Yuan’s answer.

He had intended to steer everyone in this direction.

But that Ye Yuan had so easily taken the bait still surprised him.

At that moment, the entire Primordial War Realm was in an uproar!

“What did he say? Did I hear wrong?”

“No, you didn’t hear wrong! He said, alright!”

“Haha, awesome, domineering! But does he have the strength? Those are the eighteen strongest!”

…

Everyone seemed to have heard a very funny joke, mocking Ye Yuan for overestimating himself.

They had imagined ten thousand possibilities for the final battle, but never this one.

One man, challenging eighteen!

Among these eighteen, at least no fewer than five were not inferior to Wan Zhen, and even surpassed him by a margin.

The others were only slightly behind Wan Zhen.

The combined force of these eighteen was roughly equivalent to eighteen Wan Zhens joining hands.

Too terrifying!

“Brother Ye, don’t act on impulse!” Wan Zhen also frowned.

Ye Yuan gave him a reassuring look and said with a smile, “Brother Wan, rest assured, it’s fine.”

Wan Zhen was speechless.

This kid was really stubborn!

Even if he withdrew, there were still seventeen.

Facing seventeen, let alone the combined force of Pang Zhen and Yu Tanzhi, he was no match.

But Ye Yuan wanted to challenge seventeen; this was too crazy!

“Hahaha… good, very good! Since I started my career, I’ve never been so belittled! Fine, today I’ll see just how much confidence you have to speak such arrogant words! Kid, I hope you don’t disappoint me too much!” Pang Zhen laughed in fury.

Ye Yuan didn’t know Pang Zhen; though surprised by his lightning origin, he didn’t know he was the Thunder Ancestor’s successor.

But even if he did, he wouldn’t care.

Hearing this, he just nodded lightly and said, “Mm, I probably won’t disappoint you.”

Pang Zhen’s gaze was dark, his face full of rage.

Ye Yuan’s attitude, in his view, was an insult.

A Dao Ancestor’s successor—what an exalted status!

This guy was so arrogant!

“Hehe, fine! Since that’s the case, let’s all attack together!” Pang Zhen said coldly.

“Hold on!” Ye Yuan suddenly said.

Pang Zhen sneered, “What, scared? Too late!”

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t misunderstand. You can’t beat me like this. Rest and recover first; attack after you’ve regained your strength.”

At these words, everyone was dumbfounded.

Was this kid crazy?

He was actually telling Pang Zhen and the others to rest!
