Best Young Master

Chapter 892: 786 Chapter: Fierce Competition

In the white light, time seemed to have come to a standstill, almost making people unable to feel the passage of time.

It seemed like ten thousand years, yet it also felt like just a fleeting moment, Ye Fan walked out alone from the white light gate, entering the Holy Land.

Just now, when entering the gate, Ye Fan and Su Liuli were clearly holding hands, but it seemed as if a mystical power had separated them.

Ye Fan knew that this was the rules of the Holy Land taking effect—after competitors enter the Holy Land, they are randomly teleported to any corner of the trial land.

Besides, when Ye Fan tried to activate the Flying Shuttle, he found it restricted by the rules, making it completely unable to fly.

Upon confirming the rules of the Holy Land, Ye Fan did not rush to hunt mutant beasts but carefully observed everything in the Holy Land.

In the Holy Land, the sky was azure, clouds were scattered, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was exceptionally abundant, massive trees formed an endless primitive forest, mountains were scattered throughout the forest as if returning to ancient times.

In the forest, the cries of apes and tigers, the screeches of eagles and cranes, and the roaring of mutant beasts echoed continuously, making one’s heart throb.

After a short observation, Ye Fan released his mental perception, and discovered a faint presence of several mutant beasts in the forest ahead, but they weren’t strong, just Level 8 mutant beasts.

For this, Ye Fan understood that the place he was in was just the periphery of the Trial Holy Land, the powerful mutant beasts were deep within the forest.

Without wasting any time, Ye Fan discerned the direction and headed towards the depths of the Trial Holy Land.

Because, Level 8 and even Level 9 mutant beasts meant nothing to him. With his current strength, even just using his physical strength, killing Level 8 and 9 mutant beasts was as easy as eating and drinking.

On one hand, the points were too few, on the other, according to his plan, participating in the Hidden God List competition this time was not just to prove his master’s name and sweep away Xu Wudao and his group of six, but also to use this opportunity to hone himself.

However—

As fate would have it, Ye Fan’s figure suddenly emerged from the grass, and a python as thick as a barrel lunged at him, spewing a mouthful of venomous mist.

"Humph!"

Ye Fan let out a cold snort, waved his sleeve, and a Gangfeng instantly blew away the poisonous mist, then quickly flashed across, hitting the python’s head with a palm.

"Boom—"

With a crisp sound, the python didn’t even have a chance to struggle, and its head exploded, leaving its headless body slumped on the ground, twitching slightly before lying still.

"Swish!"

With a thought, Ye Fan sent out the Xuanye Flying Blade, sliced open the python’s abdomen, found a Beast Core near its gallbladder, and stored it in his backpack.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the forest’s periphery.

Zorro’s body was filled with bestial blood, making him seem crazed, his eyes emitting terrifying light, and the evil aura all over him made some Level 8 mutant beasts run in panic, not daring to confront him head-on.

As he approached, all the mutant beasts stopped roaring, bowed down trembling, as if beholding the king of beasts!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The mutant beasts submitted and trembled, while Zorro showed no mercy, like a wolf among sheep, ruthlessly striking down every beast he encountered with lethal precision, leaving no suspense!

In a short span of time, he had already killed over a dozen Level 9 mutant beasts, his points rocketing him into first place.

However—

Zorro was neither satisfied nor proud.

Because he knew that killing Level 8 and 9 mutant beasts held no significance for him and the other five supreme geniuses; what affected the final ranking was the number of Early-Stage War God level mutant beasts slain!

Hence, he didn’t linger, heading straight towards the depths of the forest. noveldrama

Meanwhile, Xu Wudao, Andre, Tony, Shijia Mo Ke, Fa’er, and others, as they sped towards the forest’s heart, casually killed the mutant beasts they encountered, their points escalating rapidly, closely pursuing Zorro, firmly holding onto the top six spots.

"The might of these six supreme geniuses is indeed formidable, they’ve barely been inside for some time, and their points have already exceeded a hundred!"

"There’s nothing strange about it. With their strength, killing Level 8 and 9 mutant beasts is as easy as cutting grass."

"Alas... the gap between people is so vast, compared to them, we’re too weak!"

At the entrance, those cultivators who didn’t qualify to enter marveled at the strength of Zorro and the five others. For ordinary cultivators, Level 8 and 9 mutant beasts were already quite challenging.

Yet in the hands of the six supreme geniuses, they seemed like vulnerable chickens, easily crushed, which somewhat made them feel self-abased.

As the crowd discussed, Zorro’s points surged again, with Xu Wudao and the others trailing closely, almost neck and neck.

"Early-Stage War God level mutant beast!"

In the Holy Land, after Zorro crushed the head of a Level 9 mutant beast with one claw, he collected the Beast Core, and suddenly sensed a powerful presence.

This discovery did not instill fear; instead, it made him grin with excitement. With a flash, he dashed straight towards that Early-Stage War God level mutant beast.

The beast ahead also sensed Zorro’s presence, growled lowly, and turned to flee.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Zorro shouted coldly, as Gang Qi surged under his feet, transforming into a Phantom, rapidly pursuing.

A moment later, leveraging his speed advantage, Zorro gradually closed the distance, clearly seeing a beast with a horse’s body and lion’s head fleeing for its life.

"Whimper..."

As an Early-Stage War God level mutant beast, the horse-bodied lion-headed beast had Spiritual Wisdom. It seemed to realize it couldn’t escape, stopping and gazing at Zorro in awe, pleadingly whimpering.

It was terrified by the Ancient Beast King’s aura that Zorro emitted!

"Begging is futile!"

Zorro sneered, his figure flickering, and with a sudden wave of his right hand, he released a Gang Qi, forming a fierce mutant beast that pounced at the horse-bodied lion-headed beast.

"Roar~"

The mutant beast with the body of a horse and the head of a lion screamed in fear, not daring to fight back, but instead lay on the ground, whimpering softly.

Fear!

This is a kind of instinctive fear that the same species feels when facing a strong person!

Within Zorro’s bloodline flows the blood of an ancient Beast King, and the aura he exudes carries a hint of the ancient Beast King’s aura...

All of this makes the mutant beast with the body of a horse and the head of a lion feel fear, even forgetting to resist and defend!

Bang—

With a muffled sound, the mutant beast with the body of a horse and the head of a lion, having abandoned resistance, was struck by the transformed claws of the mutant beast created by Gang Qi and instantly exploded.

"Heh, first place in the ranking competition is mine!"

Zorro easily killed the mutant beast with the body of a horse and the head of a lion, confidently muttering to himself, then swiftly collected the beast core and continued forward to search for the next mutant beast.

Puff—

At the same time, Xu Wudao swung the long spear in his hand, killing a demon-armed ape. Afterward, he waved his hand, and strong suction emitted from his palm, sucking the beast core into his hand.

"Zorro contains the ancient Beast King’s bloodline, carrying a hint of the ancient Beast King’s aura, which can deter mutant beasts and easily kill them. I don’t need to compete with him for first place, but I can’t fall too far behind either."

The strong wind whipped at his clothes, and Xu Wudao squinted his eyes in thought.

After his words, his body transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the depths of the Holy Land.

"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful!"

At the same time, Mahayana uttered a Buddhist chant, and with a Vajra Palm strike, shattered the heart of an Ironback Grey Bear, which let out a miserable cry as its shattered heart sprayed from its mouth, and it twitched all over before collapsing on the ground.

Mahayana stepped forward, dug out the beast core, and put it away, completely ignoring the blood stains on his body, heading straight towards the deepest part.

Similar scenes were also playing out in other places, with Andre, Anton, and Fa’er all unwilling to be left behind. Fa’er’s eyes shot out a fierce beam, and a Netherworld Black Panther, upon meeting his gaze, fell into an illusion realm, eventually its soul destroyed, dying silently.

Sss~

In a canyon, Xue Chou tore a ninth-level mutant beast Blue Wolf apart with his bare hands, scalding blood soaking him.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be disgusted and quickly find a water source to wash off, but Xue Chou grew up soaking in a blood pool, enjoying the taste of bathing in blood.

A moment later, the Blue Wolf’s blood was absorbed by him, and he was enveloped in blood mist, appearing like an Asura.

"Hmm, those guys have already started killing early-stage War God-level mutant beasts. Should I wait a while?"

Xue Chou licked the blood on the corner of his mouth, secretly contemplating, "Hmm, better to wait a while. Exposing strength prematurely is not good. If Ye Fan discovers the cat-and-mouse trick, the assassination plan can’t be implemented."

Whoosh!

Having made the decision, Xue Chou’s figure flashed and directly blended into the depths of the forest.

Meanwhile, as Zorro, Xu Wudao, and others began killing early-stage War God-level mutant beasts, their points skyrocketed, causing a frenzy among the crowd outside the Holy Land.

"Truly exceptional talents of the younger generation, their strength is simply too formidable."

"Indeed, within a short time, they have successively killed early-stage War God-level mutant beasts, which is simply unbelievable!"

"These six are likely evenly matched, it will be difficult to determine who exactly is stronger or weaker, but it’s certain that they will occupy the top six positions!"

In the canyon, the watching cultivators were thrilled, eagerly pointing and discussing the names and points on the Divine List.

"Hm, why don’t I see Evil Emperor’s disciple’s name in the top ten?"

Apart from the six supreme talents, Ye Fan was the most notable contestant. When the six supreme talents successively killed early-stage War God-level mutant beasts, someone began to search for Ye Fan’s name and points on the Divine List but couldn’t find them at all.

"Hua... Huaxia Evil Emperor disciple is ranked outside the top hundred, with only forty points..."

Suddenly, a cultivator happened to see Ye Fan’s ranking and points, and spoke out.

"Forty points?!"

Seeing Ye Fan’s points, both the cultivators watching the competition and those strong people in the War God Alliance in the sky, even Yan and Xu Tianqi among the six supreme talents, were slightly astonished.

Ye Fan was unaware of all this.

At that moment, he was still on his way to the depths of the forest.

Perhaps due to bad luck or because he entered the Holy Land later, along the way he did not encounter early-stage War God-level mutant beasts, only four ninth-level mutant beasts that unknowingly collided with his spear were easily killed.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Ye Fan’s consciousness stirred, he stopped in his tracks, and scanned the northeastern direction.

"Roar~"

A gigantic roar echoed, and from the grass ahead burst out a golden lion over two meters tall and two zhang in length!

"Finally, I can stretch my muscles!"

Ye Fan’s consciousness stirred, and he strode toward the Golden Lion.
