War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Ye Ying Cai was not as relaxed as before; his expression was serious.

The crowd could sense the change as well.

The next moment, Ye Ying Cai flew out with his sword toward the participant from the Feudal Lord Mansion's Frozen Mountain Manor.

"I've not heard of this person from the Frozen Mountain Manor…."

"It doesn't matter. He has to be strong to be selected as a seeded participant. Previously, I was still wondering why so many unknown figures were selected as seeded participants. The Profound Jade Mansion must have insider information."

"Right. Not only are there the two hidden trump cards from the Divine Morning Mansion and the Underworld Mansion, but there's also this unknown person from the Feudal Lord Mansion's Frozen Mountain Manor."

"It's not just that, but all the famous young disciples from the Frozen Mountain Manor weren't selected to be seeded participants at all."

"Earlier, they said his name is Wang Xiong, right?"

At this time, Ye Ying Cai, who was fast approaching Wang Xiong, cast his profundities from the law. Along with his Divine Energy, he imbued them into his prominent divine sword. Soon enough, dazzling sword rays shot out.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sword rays weaved into a net that surrounded Wang Xiong in just an instant.

Many people felt anxious on behalf of Wang Xiong at this moment, but Wang Xiong's expression remained the same. However, his gaze turned piercing as he tossed his wine gourd up into the air. Light burst forth from the wine gourd, and a huge translucent barrier in the shape of a wine gourd quickly shrouded him. Streaks of gray energy intertwined with mustard yellow energy around the barrier, forming an iron wall.

Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!

The sword rays landed on the gourd-like barrier, creating metallic sounds. However, they did no damage at all.

Ye Ying Cai did not stop. He continued to attack with all his might. However, it did not take long before his expression changed. He discovered that no matter how hard and how long he attacked, he could not break his opponent's defense at all.

At this time, a burst of energy swept out from the gourd-like barrier with a flash of light, destroying all the sword rays around it before it swept toward Ye Ying Cai.

Ye Ying Cai continued to attack as he retreated. However, just like before, his attacks did not even leave a dent in his opponent's defense. Fortunately, he had speed on his side. Although his opponent was considered fast among those who comprehended the law of earth, his opponent's speed was still slower than his.

The tables turned in just a blink of an eye.

Ye Ying Cai who was on the offensive earlier was forced to defend himself since he couldnot break Wang Xiong's defense.

A small commotion broke out among the crowd. They were shocked by Wang Xiong's performance.

"Wang Xiong's defense is terrifyingly strong!"

"He comprehends the law of earth, after all. The law of earth is known for its defense."

"He's really amazing! Ye Ying Cai uses the sword so his offenses and defenses are quite balanced. However, he still can't break Wang Xiong's defense!"

"That's right. The only thing that Wang Xiong is lacking is speed. Otherwise, Ye Ying Cai would've been defeated by now."

Wang Xiong's defense did not only shock the young disciples, but even a few high-ranking officials seemed surprised.

At this time, someone said loudly to an elder from the Frozen Mountain Manor with a sigh, "Elder Qi, I didn't expect the Frozen Mountain Manor to hide such an outstanding prodigy. Did you recruit him for the Seven Mansions Feast?"

This question attracted the attention of the people in the surroundings. They turned to look at the people from the Frozen Mountain Manor in unison.

The person who led the entourage from the Frozen Mountain Manor here was an old man with a ruddy face dressed in a cyan robe. He smiled as he calmly said, "Wang Xiong grew up in the Frozen Mountain Manor since he was young. However, not many people know about him since he doesn't usually cultivate in our estate. He only returned recently to participate in the Seven Mansions Feast. Although you've not heard of him before, you should've heard of his father. His father is Wang An Chong."

Someone exclaimed, "Wang An Chong? Elder Qi, are you talking about Wang An Chong who ranked in the top ten during the Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago?"

During the Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago, one person from the Feudal Lord Mansion's Frozen Mountain Manor managed to rank in the top ten, and it was none other than Wang An Chong.

"That's right," the elder from the Frozen Mountain Manor said and nodded.

With this, people began to gossip again.

"So he's Wang An Chong's son?"

Zhen Ping Fan and Ye Chen Feng, who both heard the words of the elder from the Frozen Mountain Manor, exchanged a look and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They both knew Wang An Chong since they all participated in the Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago. In fact, Wang An Chong even defeated them. However, Wang An Chong was a good man, and he had a very good temper as well. As such, the duo hit it off with Wang An Chong even though it was their first meeting. The duo considered him a friend at that time. It was unfortunate that not long after the Seven Mansions Feast ended, they received news that Wang An Chong had died outside of the Feudal Lord Mansion due to an accident. At that time, the duo felt rather sad and lamented that the good died young.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian learned from Zhen Ping Fan that Wang Xiong's father had once defeated Zhen Ping Fan and Ye Chen Feng during the Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago. He also learned that Wang An Chong ranked in the top ten of the Seven Mansions Feast at that time, but unfortunately, Wang An Chong passed away not long after.

Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. 'What a coincidence. As it turns out, his father defeated Elder Ye and Elder Zhen 10,000 years ago…' He looked at the fight in front of him and continued thinking to himself, 'Wang Xiong is going to win…'

Although Ye Ying Cai had the advantage in speed, Duan Ling Tian knew Wang Xiong was going to win based on Wang Xiong's strength. Wang Xiong's attacks seemed unorganized and random; he kept attacking even his attacks seemingly missed. However, Duan Ling Tian could see that the attacks were in fact very well thought out.

"Amazing!" Ye Chen Feng suddenly exclaimed.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian and the others saw that Wang Xiong's attack that seemingly missed did not dissipate at all. On the contrary, they suddenly turned into mustard yellow pillars of light. The pillars of light formed a cage around Ye Ying Cai, and the cage was slowly shrinking.

'He's been preparing for this!' Ye Ying Cai finally realized something was wrong. He tried to escape but found that he was unable to do so. Clearly, Wang Xiong had been preparing this since the beginning and made his move once he was confident enough to do so.

'Since I can't escape, I'll have to try and break the cage!'

Ye Ying Cai attacked the cage with all his might. Under his attack, minute cracks began to form on the sturdy cage. Upon seeing the cracks, he was overjoyed. However, his expression changed in the next second. While he was attacking the huge cage, Wang Xiong had already arrived. He was left with no choice but to fly away.

Wang Xiong continued chasing Ye Ying Cai.

At the same time, the huge cage continued to shrink. There was only so much space for Ye Ying Cai to move around, and it was shrinking. When he could no longer move around, he was forced to confront Wang Xiong. He knew he could not break through Wang Xiong's defense, and he would be severely injured by Wang Xiong's attack. In the end, he could only say helplessly, "I surrender."

Although Ye Ying Cai felt unwilling, he knew nothing could be done about it. If he did not surrender, he would be severely injured, and it would affect his performance later. He knew he had no hope of ranking in the top 30, but he still hoped to rank in the top 40 or 50 so as to not bring shame to the Pure Yang Sect.

"Good match," Wang Xiong said goodnaturedly with a grin, "You're stronger than I imagined. I couldn't tell you were still holding back your strength and speed during your previous fight."

Ye Ying Cai smiled bitterly. During his fight with the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice's Hu Chai Yi, he did not intend to dodge or maintain a distance from Hu Chai Yi. He only wanted to fight Hu Chai Yi directly. As such, he did not show his true speed.

This was also the reason Wang Xiong had said Ye Ying Cai should make his move first, otherwise, Ye Ying Cai might not have had a chance to do so. He had underestimated Ye Ying Cai's speed.

"You're very strong. I lost fair and square," Ye Ying Cai said seriously.

With this defeat, Ye Ying Cai was knocked out of the top 30 rankings of the Seven Mansions Feast. However, he did not look discouraged after leaving the battlefield. Instead, his eyes shone as though he was in high spirits. It seemed like he had figured some things out.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen Feng smiled. He said, "You're still young, and the possibilities in the future are endless. There are many people stronger than you today, but that may not be the case 10,000 years later…"

Ye Ying Cai's eyes shone even brighter upon hearing these words. He was reminded again that his grandmaster did not even rank in the top 20 during the Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago. However, 10,000 years later, his grandmaster had far surpassed the top 20 participants from that time!
