The cheers of the crowd gradually faded, not because the warriors had exhausted their voices; given enough time and energy, with their physical conditioning, they could shout for three days and nights without stopping. It was also not because Sky Whirlwind, the only Ye Feng present, had spoken.
After introducing the two competitors, he had retreated to an unknown location, leaving only Qianjizi and Feng Zhengyang, along with other Hall Masters, outside the arena to maintain order among the spectators and prevent any unexpected conflicts.
The sole reason that so many people fell silent was that they saw Feng Ye and Luo Xin beginning to gather their energy.
This gathering of energy marked the onset of battle for the warriors! Everyone had come with a sincere attitude to learn; watching the spectacle was merely a pretext. More importantly, they did not want to miss the thrilling details of a confrontation between strong opponents.
Those details could significantly influence their future paths as warriors. Therefore, everyone behaved with extreme caution and seriousness, adding a layer of tension and oppressive atmosphere to the arena.
As the battle began, neither Feng Ye nor Luo Xin moved, as if they were gathering energy for a long time. In reality, they were simply waiting for the other to make the first move. Generally speaking, in warrior confrontations, it is customary to strike first!
However, when strong opponents face each other, making the first move often leads to vulnerabilities. Warriors well-versed in martial arts understand this point clearly; thus, what seemed like an extended period of gathering energy was merely mutual probing, waiting for one to lose patience and attack first!
However, today's situation was somewhat special! Luo Xin hesitated to make a move due to uncertainty about Feng Ye's capabilities. Yet Ye Feng was not in the same position!
His pores were already open as he secretly operated his meridians, breathing in and out in perfect harmony to ensure his body was in optimal condition. The True Energy within him began to condense continuously; a casual release could potentially deliver a devastating blow!
But that was not the main issue! The crux of the matter was that Ye Feng did not know which technique to use first to test his opponent's abilities! Let’s not forget that he was currently acting as a substitute for the Qin Empire's Envoy Group while disguising his identity!
To make matters more awkward, he was also a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, known intimately by all Hall Masters. Therefore, he could not use any Martial Techniques or movements he had previously displayed in front of those Hall Masters or other disciples!
Using such techniques would directly expose his identity! So now the question arose!
Ye Feng's signature skills included Shattering Immortal Spear combined with Golden Dragon Sword techniques and his internal Soul Guiding Banner along with Underworld General. However, Qianjizi and Zhu Feng from the Hall Masters had seen these three techniques before; thus, they were definitely off-limits.
Next on his list were Void Sword Technique and Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision!
But here came another problem: among Outer Sect Disciples, many were aware of these Martial Techniques as well. Therefore, these techniques were also unusable!
As for Tide Sound Palm and Thunderclap Palm, there was no need even to consider them; against an expert like Luo Xin, they would hardly be effective!
Thinking about all this gave Ye Feng a headache. With his signature moves and commonly used techniques unavailable for use, what else could he rely on to fight?
In his mind, aside from the newly learned Raging Domain and the ultimate move, Heavenly River Power, it seemed that he had no other Martial Techniques available. Oh right, there was also Nebula Step, also known as Cloud Step!
It was a superior movement technique, but it wasn't a Martial Technique; he couldn't just keep avoiding his opponent, could he?
After thinking it over, Ye Feng was reluctant to reveal his ultimate move all at once. There was the matter of the explosion outside the city; he feared that some powerful cultivators might realize that he was connected to the Dark Exchange incident from a few days ago.
On the other hand, unless absolutely necessary, that move was too destructive. He didn't want to truly harm Luo Xin! This wasn't a matter of underestimating Luo Xin; he could sense that Luo Xin was at the peak of the Xuanwu Realm.
But wasn't Chifeng also known as Ye Feng's number one subordinate? In the end, he had been severely injured by his own Heavenly River Power! If he were to seriously injure Luo Xin as well, even if those elders couldn't trace it back to him afterward, he wouldn't be able to live with himself!
Having thought this through, Ye Feng sighed deeply. At this moment, he finally understood that this battle was far from as simple as he had imagined. He felt caught in a dilemma and couldn't bring himself to fight!
At this time, members of the Qin Empire Envoy Group, Strategist Yuxiu and Lian'er, were watching him from afar, even releasing their senses to connect with him.
He turned around and glanced at the two in the distance. He could see the worry and urgency on their faces, which eased his mood somewhat. He didn't want to end up hurting his own people and then be blamed by outsiders! That would be truly thankless work!
Just as he was pondering this, some impatient spectators in the audience began to murmur: "Why hasn't it started yet? I've been waiting so long!"
"Yeah! Stop just watching! Watching won't defeat the opponent! They have to make a move!"
Although these discussions were quiet, they still reached Luo Xin and Ye Feng's ears. Both remained unfazed because cultivators at their level wouldn't be genuinely influenced by external factors; they could only think about how to defeat each other in the most skillful way!
Violence against violence might be thrilling but was also the least wise approach. They weren't mortal enemies; it was impossible for them to truly risk their lives. This sparring was about knowing when to stop! Thus, both were considering a matter of balance.
What level of intensity would satisfy the audience's needs while also gaining approval from their elders and providing themselves with an explanation? This was their greatest challenge!
But time passed slowly like this. Eventually, it was Luo Xin who couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up somewhat gloomily: "I originally planned to end this battle in a hundred rounds, but at this rate, we might not even get through ten rounds before sunset. What do you think?"
It sounded like nothing serious, but it was clearly a challenge!
Ye Feng understood that there was no way to avoid this. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Then let's begin; please go ahead!"
Upon hearing this, it felt somewhat straightforward. Luo Xin hesitated for a moment, seemingly conflicted about whether to make the first move. This was a matter of exposing weaknesses, and as his first encounter with the world, he wanted to start and finish perfectly, so he did not want any flaws!
The so-called Martial Enthusiast was essentially someone who pursued perfection!
Although Ye Feng was not like that, he had his own struggles! Just as both sides were growing impatient and the crowd in the audience was becoming increasingly restless, the voice of Xuan Lao suddenly echoed in his mind.
"This child is not simple. If you intend to take it lightly, that's impossible. You will have to act sooner or later, so it's better to resolve it quickly. The longer you drag it out, the more unfavorable it will be for your plans!"
This advice came not too late, but how could Ye Feng not understand this principle? Feeling somewhat helpless, he replied, "Xuan Lao, I understand what you're saying, but I don't know how to fight. The Underworld General won't work, and combining guns and swords won't work either. How else can I win?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Lao immediately scolded him, "You Idiot! Do you really think you can rely on just these few things to survive? Don't forget that even without considering those, you are at least a late-stage Xuanwu Realm expert. What are you afraid of? How will you face challenges in the future?"
"Well..." After being scolded so thoroughly by Xuan Lao, Ye Feng wanted to say something more but ultimately couldn't continue!
Xuan Lao seemed to sense his difficulties and calmly offered further advice: "Actually, you still have that Dark Blade dagger. It's quite remarkable and is best suited for close combat. Moreover, that dagger comes with a lethal Martial Technique! You should know that a lethal strike can deal damage multiple times greater than your actual strength. You just need to channel your True Energy into it, and with your Cloud Step, you can fight fluidly!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly realized he had forgotten about that! Earlier, when he had destroyed the Dark Exchange outside the city and helped Xie Tianyu, he had received that dagger as a favor but hadn't used it until now!
It was precisely because he was unfamiliar with close combat that he hadn't considered this aspect! Without Xuan Lao's reminder, his thoughts became clear all at once!
Finally, Xuan Lao added: "And don't forget about that Wolf Fang Beast. You forced it to consume so many Heavenly Origin Pills. It's at least a Martial Saint level Puppet Beast. Such a Puppet Beast is not only tough but also has considerable attack power; it can definitely help you deal more effective damage!"
After hearing these few words, Ye Feng felt completely Clear-minded. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he mentally thanked Xuan Lao. He then regained his composure and looked at Luo Xin, his gaze seemingly transformed!
"Have you figured out how you're going to fight me?" Luo Xin, being an observant man, noticed the change in Ye Feng at that moment.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "I've thought it through. I hope you're ready for battle too!"
"Of course!" Luo Xin replied gloomily, thinking to himself that this was just stating the obvious!
Ye Feng reined in his smile, his expression turning serious. He stopped with the small talk and said directly, "Then let's not disappoint the audience's expectations any longer. Since you don't want to make the first move, I will!"
With that, he didn't give Luo Xin a chance to respond. He quickly formed hand seals and shouted, "Come forth, my Wolf Fang Beast!"
As the incantation was spoken, the soul consciousness in his mind was released. Soon, the space around them twisted, and a towering Wolf Fang Beast roared into view!
"Awwooo!" The moment the Wolf Fang Beast appeared, it unleashed a furious roar. Newly born and untested in battle, this release filled it with immense exhilaration. Its Soul Thought connected with its master Ye Feng's soul sea, and with just a thought, it would charge forth to slay enemies!
This revelation stunned thousands! No one expected that it would be Feng Ye from the Qin Empire's Envoy Group who made the first move! Even more surprising was that this guy was actually a Puppet Master! But that wasn't all! Those with keen eyes immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the Wolf Fang Beast!
It was actually an ultra ninth-tier magical beast! This meant it was equivalent to a Human Warrior at the late stage of the Xuanwu Realm. Coupled with the beast's resistance to damage and outstanding destructive power, it could easily engage in battle with a true late-stage Martial Saint!
Such a mighty and indomitable Wolf Fang Beast was effortlessly summoned by what seemed to be an ordinary young man! Even among the Beastmaster Sect masters of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect present, none could match such prowess!
Shock and awe filled the arena once again! A surge of adrenaline instantly ignited this battle!
