Chapter 815: Absolute Strength!

Among the Seven Holy Sons, the strongest at present was undoubtedly Nalan Hong.

And this time, Ye Yuan's opponent was precisely Nalan Hong!

In truth, Nalan Hong had no real objection to Ye Yuan inheriting the position of Young Master.

Ye Yuan's talent was plain to see; even if he was not a match for him now, it would not take long for him to surpass him.

Even if Ye Yuan ultimately did not enter the seventh-layer region, he had at least entered the sixth-layer region, far surpassing Nalan Hong.

Such a genius was beyond his comparison.

But when Nalan Xin told him about this matter, Nalan Hong agreed without hesitation.

To be honest, he was also very curious about Ye Yuan's current strength!

If he missed this opportunity, he might not have another chance to make a move against Ye Yuan.

One reason was status, and the other was strength.

Nalan Hong had heard that Ye Yuan was now at the fourth level of the Boundless Realm. To have improved so much in just one month, it probably wouldn't take long for him to surpass him.

Nevertheless, this battle still stirred up a huge uproar in the Chixia Holy Land.

A Boundless Realm cultivator challenging a Heavenly Initiation Realm cultivator!

It was almost a certain defeat!

No one understood where Ye Yuan's confidence came from to defeat a genius martial artist like Nalan Hong!

It was true that Ye Yuan had high talent, but underestimating the heroes of the world was his mistake.

At that moment, the square of the Holy Land was packed with a dense crowd of people.

The entire Chixia Holy Land was nearly deserted, as everyone came to watch this duel between the old and new generations of geniuses.

Ye Yuan had personally said that if he lost this battle, he would give up the position of Young Master!

This battle tugged at the hearts of everyone in the Chixia Holy Land.

“A Boundless Realm challenging a Heavenly Initiation Realm—this is simply a joke! This is not just a gap of one major realm, but the gap between the Middle Three Realms and the Upper Three Realms! Can anyone cross this chasm?”

“Are you stupid! This duel is not Ye Yuan challenging Nalan Hong, but Nalan Hong challenging Ye Yuan! But Ye Yuan is still more than a full major realm behind Nalan Hong—how can he possibly win?”

“Ye Yuan is indeed an unparalleled genius, but even if his Supreme True Intent has reached the fifth level, he can't possibly defeat Nalan Hong, right?”

“I really don't know what Ye Yuan was thinking, agreeing to such a challenge. If he loses, where will the Holy Lord's face be placed?”

In the crowd, small groups were all engaged in heated discussion.

However, public opinion was almost unanimously in favor of Nalan Hong winning.

It wasn't that they didn't believe in Ye Yuan's talent, but the gap between Ye Yuan and Nalan Hong was too great!

If Ye Yuan had the strength of the ninth level of the Boundless Realm, they would certainly think he would win.

But the fourth level of Boundless against the fifth level of Heavenly Initiation—this... there was simply no comparison!

No matter how strong one's talent, it was impossible to bridge such a huge gap.

On the viewing platform, the elders of the three great holy halls and the elders of the ten great families were all present! Such a level of attendance was second only to that of the Holy Lord himself, showing how much importance they placed on this battle.

At this moment, Shen Qin's expression was very grim.

Others thought Ye Yuan was eager to be the Young Master, but he knew that Ye Yuan didn't care at all, and had not even agreed when the Holy Lord personally invited him.

Could it be that this kid deliberately said those words to shirk the position of Young Master?

If that were really the case, then the Holy Lord's painstaking efforts would have been in vain!

On the arena, Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, facing the formidable Nalan Hong without the slightest fear.

Everyone couldn't understand where Ye Yuan's confidence came from.

“Where is your sword? Surely you don't intend to fight me with your bare hands?”

Ye Yuan still hadn't drawn his sword, and Nalan Hong was puzzled.

He had seen Ye Yuan's fifth-level supreme true intent, so of course he knew that Ye Yuan's strongest aspect was his sword intent.

But judging by Ye Yuan's demeanor, it seemed he had no intention of drawing his sword.

After all, he was the foremost of the seven holy sons—wasn't this too dismissive?

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "In swordsmanship, I am no match for you, so I won't use a sword."

Nalan Hong raised an eyebrow, greatly surprised.

He had thought that Ye Yuan's refusal to draw his sword was meant to humiliate him, but unexpectedly, Ye Yuan had voluntarily admitted that he was no match in swordsmanship.

Could it be that fifth-level supreme true intent was not Ye Yuan's limit? Did this guy have an even stronger means?

How was that possible?

Could it be a soul secret technique?

That was even more impossible! Ye Yuan's soul power was at most at the Dan Zong realm, and with proper preparation, it posed no threat to him at all.

Seeing Nalan Hong's expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don't bother guessing; you'll know soon enough! So... let's begin!"

Nalan Hong's expression turned serious, and he nodded.

The calmer Ye Yuan was, the stronger the ominous premonition in Nalan Hong's heart grew!

"Hmph! Putting on airs! In the quasi-holy son competition, his methods were thoroughly studied. What other means could he have to bridge the gap between the upper three realms and the middle three realms?" Wu Siyuan said disdainfully.

But just then, Ye Yuan moved!

As Ye Yuan moved, Nalan Hong's expression changed drastically, and he immediately circulated his primal power throughout his body, activating his primal power shield!

Because he had no extra time to make any other reaction!

There was no fluctuation of primal power, yet Ye Yuan's body shot toward him like a cannonball!

It turned out that Ye Yuan's reliance was actually his physical body!

“Ding!”

A crisp sound rang out as Ye Yuan’s fist struck Nalan Hong’s longsword, without any flourish.

One punch, and the entire arena was stunned!

Nalan Hong, a Heavenly Initiation realm expert, was directly sent flying by Ye Yuan!

And the longsword in his hand snapped with the sound!

“Wh—what a joke! The longsword in Nalan Hong’s hand is a top-grade Mystic Artifact, yet Ye Yuan broke it with just his physical body?”

“What did this guy experience in the Red Cloud Valley? During the quasi-holy son competition, his physical body was definitely not this strong!”

“Too terrifying! His physical strength is probably comparable to the Heavenly Initiation realm, right? No wonder he dared to challenge Nalan Hong—so this is his real trump card!”

Ye Yuan’s punch was too shocking; it actually shattered the longsword in Nalan Hong’s hand.

Such a scene was truly stunning!

And this was the result of Ye Yuan being tempered by the Primordial Dragon Bone for over twenty days!

His physical body was even tougher than a top-grade Mystic Artifact!

His originally useless body had actually come from behind, even surpassing his Yuan Power realm!

From start to finish, Ye Yuan hadn’t even used a trace of Yuan Power. Relying solely on the explosive power of his physical body, his speed and strength were already comparable to a Heavenly Initiation realm expert.

With the power of the True Dragon, Ye Yuan’s challenge against Nalan Hong across realms was so理所当然!

“Are you ready? I’m coming!”

Although this punch had shattered the longsword, Nalan Hong was unharmed. However, Ye Yuan was full of confidence in defeating Nalan Hong.

“Hold on! I concede!”

Just as Ye Yuan was about to move, Nalan Hong conceded cleanly.
