Heavenly Mechanism Sect Outer Sect Disciple Nearly one hundred thousand people participated, and being among the top one hundred in the Outer Sect Grand Competition is enough to earn the admiration of most disciples. Huang Yao possesses immense strength, being just a step away from the Gangwu Realm, yet he only ranked forty-eighth in the Outer Sect Grand Competition.
"Not even in the top ten, yet you still have the face to act arrogantly?" Ye Feng snorted coldly, showing no fear. Although he understood the significance of this ranking, he believed that within the Origin Martial Realm, no one could rival him, especially not an Outer Sect Disciple who couldn't even make it into the top ten.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in chatter once more.
"This kid really has guts; he isn't afraid of Brother Huang at all," someone whispered.
"After all, he's new and doesn't understand the rules. Once he experiences Brother Huang's might, he'll probably kneel and beg for mercy immediately!"
"That's hard to say; didn't this kid fight alongside those other two newcomers against a Dragonwing Beast? They might be hiding their true strength."
"Such jokes are only funny once; saying them too many times loses their charm."
Hearing these discussions, even Zong Nan, who usually had a good temper, turned pale with anger and couldn't help but speak up: "Killing a Dragonwing Beast was witnessed by hundreds of Trial Disciples. How could we possibly fake that?"
"Why waste time with these ignorant fools? If it comes to it, we three can go solo and see who kills more Rogue Bandits!" Cheng Ze, whose fierce appearance became even more intimidating, caused several veteran disciples to feel a twinge of fear and involuntarily close their mouths.
"You seem quite unconvinced!" Huang Yao pushed through the crowd and suddenly approached Ye Feng, a chilling and murderous aura immediately spreading from him.
Both Zong Nan and Cheng Ze were greatly alarmed; this cold and murderous aura could only be released by someone who had killed hundreds of enemies.
Everyone felt an overwhelming sense of killing intent, as if they were on a battlefield surrounded by countless foes.
Ye Feng felt it even more acutely; facing this pressure directly made him feel as if the opponent had just emerged from a bloody battlefield after slaying thousands. The chilling killing intent struck at his very soul, conjuring an illusion that this person was charging at him with a spear, intending to kill him directly.
"This person's killing intent is so intense; he must have taken many lives over the years. He must have drawn strength from killing to fortify his Divine Soul, allowing him to cultivate such an astonishing aura of slaughter!"
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised, but it was only due to the method Huang Yao used to train his Divine Soul.
Ordinary martial artists lacked the Immortal Path and Supreme Technique, making it impossible for them to refine their Divine Soul and cultivate spiritual power. The fact that Huang Yao had grasped a hint of the secret to refining his Divine Soul through slaughter was indeed a talent that could not be underestimated.
"So what?" Ye Feng said lightly. He activated the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique, causing all illusions to vanish instantly, and the powerful aura that Huang Yao had painstakingly created collapsed in an instant. Instead, a mountain-like illusion pressed back down.
Huang Yao stumbled and involuntarily took a few steps back, supported by a companion behind him.
"How is this possible? This kid's aura is so strong that he actually forced back Senior Brother Huang!"
"Am I seeing things? A mere new disciple at the Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level actually forced back Huang Yao, who is ranked within the top fifty!"
Everyone gasped in disbelief, feeling that what they were witnessing was too unreal.
"Good kid, you actually can't be suppressed by my aura. But relying solely on aura won't kill anyone. Let's see my Ghostly Killing Fist!" Huang Yao was naturally unwilling to admit defeat; having lost face in terms of aura was already known to everyone, and he had to regain his honor no matter what.
Ye Feng felt a sinking sensation; he hadn't expected that deep within the Outer Sect, his opponent would attack without regard for sect rules.
The air ahead exploded in an instant as a heavy fist covered in black energy appeared before Ye Feng, seemingly coming from the Netherworld, accompanied by the cries of countless ghosts. The fist wind was fierce and the technique bizarre, making it difficult to defend against.
The cries of ghosts were merely an illusion created by the strange sounds produced by the fist wind striking the air, combined with the aura's illusion, which often left opponents with the impression of falling into hell, causing them to lose their ability to resist in an instant.
Since his opponent had taken the initiative to attack, Ye Feng naturally would not sit idly by. He focused his mind; the powerful aura carried by the killing fist had no effect on him whatsoever. With a slight movement of his body, he executed the Wind Treading Step, lightly stepping down to dissipate the fist wind beneath his feet, instantly dispersing his opponent's momentum.
"Not bad for a reaction, but can you dodge forever?" Huang Yao sneered and did not hesitate. Twisting his body, he unleashed a series of follow-up punches from his Ghostly Killing Fist. The vast and condensed fist wind generated thunderous sounds, causing explosions throughout the arena and creating an astonishing momentum.
"Void Sword Technique!" Ye Feng formed a Sword Finger, using his finger as a sword. As he flew backward, he rapidly pointed out three streams of finger wind.
The finger wind was like a sword's aura; although its power was greatly diminished, it was as strange and inexplicable as the Void Sword Technique, catching the opponent off guard. In an instant, the formless and intangible finger wind pierced through layers of fist shadows and directly struck Huang Yao's chest.
"Poof!" Before the fist force could reach Ye Feng, the finger wind seemed to tear through the void, directly targeting the opponent's vital points. Three heavy strikes landed unerringly on the same spot, causing Huang Yao to stagger back repeatedly, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
With his balance disrupted and his fist force dissipating abruptly, Ye Feng stood at a distance, appearing exceptionally relaxed.
"Good kid, not bad at all. Let me have a go at you!" Before anyone could react, another young man beside Huang Yao rushed forward to duel Ye Feng.
"Stop, Huang Ge, you're no match for him!" With the help of his fingers using the Void Sword Technique, Huang Yao quickly recovered from the intense pain in his chest. He had only sustained minor injuries from that strike.
However, he had already realized that this technique was not merely a finger technique but rather a transformed sword technique. The Ye Feng before him gave him an unfathomable feeling.
"If he were using a sword, my chest would probably have been pierced by sword energy!" Although his defensive capabilities were considerable and he was only testing techniques without using his renowned Treasure Artifact at this moment, the opponent was still superior to him. This indicated that the strange sword technique had been cultivated by Ye Feng to an extraordinary level, comparable to the sword intent of an Expert of the Gale Martial Realm.
Huang Ge was Huang Yao's younger brother and equally formidable; he ranked seventy-second in the last Outer Sect Grand Competition.
Seeing that even his brother, who was far stronger than him, could not match Ye Feng, Huang Ge realized that stepping forward would only lead to humiliation. He halted his advance upon Huang Yao's advice.
"Your swordsmanship is impressive; no wonder you could kill a Dragonwing Beast. I was wrong; your strength will not hold us back. Welcome to join us on this mission," Huang Yao said with cupped hands, no longer displaying his previous arrogance.
Huang Yao's words did not surprise Ye Feng. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Outer Sect Disciples were relatively united; conflicts were often temporary. The earlier Ghostly Killing Fist clearly held back and did not aim to take lives; it was merely a test of strength.
"Very well. We are both disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect; we can have conflicts but should not hold grudges. I accept your apology," Ye Feng replied with a return gesture.
The two shook hands in reconciliation, and the surrounding disciples applauded in praise. Ye Feng felt something within himself and thought: "In this world where strength reigns supreme, only by demonstrating exceptional ability can one earn respect from others. If my earlier test had ended in utter defeat, I would likely have faced ridicule from these people!"
Cheng Ze and South Wall looked at each other; after all, they were also new disciples who had just joined the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. They found it somewhat difficult to understand and did not possess Ye Feng's open-mindedness or calmness toward everything.
"I am Huang Yao, and this is my younger brother, Huang Ge, from Qin Wang Mansion!"
"Qin Wang Mansion? Is it the one granted in Lingnan County?" Zong Nan's expression changed slightly.
"Exactly!" Huang Yao smiled.
"So it's the two young masters of Qin Wang. My apologies!" Zong Nan quickly cupped his hands in greeting and subtly signaled to Ye Feng and Cheng Ze.
Ye Feng nodded in surprise. Although he felt a bit out of place, he still bowed slightly with Cheng Ze to Huang Yao.
"Once we enter Heavenly Mechanism Sect, we are brothers and need not perform such formalities," Huang Yao waved his hand dismissively.
The Sky Abyss Empire belongs to the Huang Dynasty. After the emperor ascends the throne, brothers are often granted territories in various states of the Sky Abyss Empire to guard the local areas. Qin Wang Mansion is a princely house granted in Lingnan County.
Although the dynasty's power is immense, it still falls short compared to large sects. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect, being one of the Top Ten Heavenly Sects on Divine Martial Continent, is not governed by any force within the Sky Abyss Empire; it stands alone with an extraordinary status. Even the young princes of Qin Wang Mansion can only rely on their own strength to earn their position and identity within Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Within the sect, social status is no longer a concern. Although Ye Feng was somewhat surprised by the other party's background, he did not pay too much attention to it.
"I didn't expect Brother Huang to participate in this mission as well. With your status, you shouldn't lack Elemental Crystals," Zong Nan said with a somewhat peculiar expression.
"Elemental Crystals are something that no one would ever have enough of," Huang Yao replied with a smile. "Though I am from the royal family, I am just one among many young masters. The resources I can obtain are limited, and over time, they will surely be insufficient. Moreover, martial artists cannot rely solely on external forces; they need to hone their own skills."
"That makes sense." After hearing this, Ye Feng's impression of Huang Yao gradually changed.
After chatting for a while, a disciple from Blue Stream Villa soon arrived at Ruyun Peak to lead everyone onto a small Floating Vessel that had already been prepared.
Once the Floating Vessel set sail, Huang Yao led Ye Feng and the others directly to the disciple from Blue Stream Villa who was responsible for guiding them.
"How many people are participating in this extermination mission, and which sects do they come from?" Facing outsiders, Huang Yao's tone remained as arrogant as ever.
In response to the inquiry from the disciple of the Heavenly Level Sect, the disciple from Blue Stream Villa did not dare to retort and quickly bowed, saying, "There are over two thousand people in total, coming from ten sects. Including your sect, there are three from Heavenly Level Sect and seven from Earth-Level Sect."
A task force of two thousand people was enough to shock everyone present.
Ye Feng said solemnly, "With more than two thousand people participating in the mission, as far as I know, you Blue Stream Villa should only be a Human-Level Sect. If you successfully complete the mission, the price you will have to pay is indeed quite substantial."
Huang Yao, Zong Nan, and others nodded repeatedly. They had already received news that this mission would involve at least a thousand people. Although Blue Stream Villa would not dare to falsely report rewards when issuing a commission to various sects, such a scale of reward was not something a Human-Level Sect like Blue Stream Villa could easily bear.
"Rest assured, everyone. Since we have already announced additional rewards, we at Blue Stream Villa will definitely be able to deliver. Otherwise, we would never risk our entire clan by offering such rewards to the major sects," the disciple from Blue Stream Villa assured confidently.
Ye Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He had previously received information from Zong Nan that the additional rewards had already been posted on the mission board of Heavenly Mechanism Sect, causing quite a stir. However, the mission slots had long been taken by disciples who received the news early, leaving some Outer Sect Disciples who rushed to Xuanwu Tower with no choice but to leave empty-handed.
Since the additional rewards had already been publicly displayed on the mission board, Blue Stream Villa absolutely could not backtrack. If they refused to provide the additional rewards, the wrath of the Three Great Heavenly-Level Sects and seven Earth-Level Sects would be something a mere Human-Level Sect could not withstand.
