Chapter 1084: Give It A Try
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
Technically, Ye Xiao wasn't lying. Who dared to say he didn't have enormous strength?
Nobody!
Who dared to say Ye Nantian's soldiers could defeat Ye Xiao?
No one!
Generally speaking, Ye Xiao was undoubtedly aware of his own cultivation level, but he had East-rising Purple Qi, which was in a beginner level. He honestly didn't know what level he exactly was!
So… it seemed he didn't lie!
Since he didn't lie, then what he said must be the truth!
Ye Shuxin looked at Ye Xiao from head to toe and sensed the qi and blood running in his body. He reckoned Ye Xiao must be level five or six of Spirit Origin Stage. He felt relieved.
Ye Shuxin was only level seven of Dream Origin Stage. For Ye Xiao, it was pretty easy to hide his exact level and give Ye Shuxin the fake information.
Ye Shuxin thought that he apparently knew Ye Xiao's level, so he was relaxed. He spoke in a deep voice, "Well… You said you don't know your cultivation level. Hmm. That's a problem. I can't let you take the risk… I have an idea. Ye Zifeng, come. Start a casual fight against your little brother. Let's see if he is qualified to attend the arena."
Ye Zifeng was Ye Shuxin's third grandson. He was young, but already in level one of Dream Origin Stage. He was an elite among the youngest generation. According to his achievement in cultivation at his age, he was considered a genius.
He heard his grandfather's order and couldn't wait to jump out. His eyes were full of fierce glow. "Ye Xiao, my brother, come. We are the same age. Let's get a few movements and let them see in what level you are…"
Ye Xiao hurriedly stepped back and said, "Is this alright? I can't control myself well. I always lose control in my fists… What if I accidentally hurt you or even kill you… We are family. Forget it…"
The others were didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
[You? With your middle-level Spirit Origin Stage capability? You actually think you could hurt a Dream Origin Stage cultivator?]
[There is a one stage gap ahead of you, dude!]
[This is… awkward.]
"Don't mind that. It is the most normal thing for cultivators to have a friendly fight. Even if you accidentally hurt Zifeng, you will be forgiven." Ye Shuxin laughed and said, "Oh, by the way, Zifeng, you must be careful. Do not hurt your little brother there. You have just reached Dream Origin Stage, which means you are unstable yet. Be careful not to make any reckless injury."
Everybody understood what he was doing. He wasn't asking Ye Zifeng to do it leniently at all. He was asking him to seize the opportunity to kill Ye Xiao!
However, people all felt weird at the same time. [Why are Ye Nantian and Ye Shuqing still silent about this? Are they still pretending? Do they want to see their kid get killed?]
Ye Shuqing couldn't bear it anymore. He was going to attack, but Ye Nantian stopped him again.
"What are you doing?" Ye Shuqing stared at Ye Nantian angrily, "You coward! Let go of me!"
Ye Nantian talked to him in mind connection, "The kid is fooling them… Do you remember what I told you? When he ascended to Qing-Yun Realm, he was far beyond level five of Spirit Origin Stage. Now it is one year after, do you think it is possible that he is still at the same level?"
Ye Shuqing was shocked. "Weren't you kidding me? Are you telling the truth?"
"Holy hell! You thought I was only amusing you old couple? How would I let him live out there alone if he doesn't have the strength?" Ye Nantian speechlessly looked at his father. "If you go out and fight, we will ruin a great play…"
Ye Shuqing immediately felt relieved. He grabbed his own beard and still felt shocked. [Is my grandson indeed that awesome?]
In the yard, Ye Xiao had made the promise. "I feel relaxed since you said so. You know, it happens to get injured when you lose a fight. All cultivators got injured in a fight! It's a daily occurrence. Even if someone is killed in a fight, only himself or herself should be blamed. It's one's fate."
Ye Zifeng's eyes lit up. He laughed loudly and said, "That's true. If I died in your hands, I should be blamed because I am too weak to stay alive. Well, we always have such a rule for the combats between our own people…"
The others started to scold in mind. [What? Since when do we have such a rule?]
Before anybody said something against it, Ye Xiao responded with admiration, "We do? What a great clan we are! He who survives deserves to live. Because of this nature's law, Ye Clan has been growing stronger. We should keep the better and abandon the worse…"
People all became speechless.
They never thought that Ye Nantian, such a brilliant man, had such a stupid son. The old saying was right. Great father, foolish son…
"Come on!"
Ye Zifeng made a preparation posture.
Ye Xiao moved back two steps and spoke in a low voice, "I don't think it is a good idea to make an attack first. I had a second thought of it, and I don't think it will end up well for me if I kill you in this fight. How about this, you attack first. I will defend three strikes from you as a start."
People all closed their eyes. [This kid is utterly foolish. Doesn't he realize how much stronger his rival is? He actually nagged about defending three strikes from the other guy's first…]
[He doesn't only want to die… He is actually asking to die fast!]
Ye Zifeng was delighted when he heard that. He wouldn't show any humility. "Brother Ye Xiao, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Here I come!"
He then thrust up into the air and rushed over to Ye Xiao with the sound of wind blowing.
On a side, Ye Shuxin watched the fight with a smile in the face, but a sense of coldness was hidden deep in his eyes. [As long as my genius grandson kills that stupid, arrogant bastard, the war will be started…]
[The little bastard asked for death on his own. Nobody is to be blamed!]
"Good move!" Ye Xiao didn't move away. He just stepped forward to face the attack.
Ye Zifeng looked fierce and vicious in the eyes. He made a shout and gathered all the power he could perform in his right hand.
At this critical moment, if he failed to hit Ye Xiao, somebody might interrupt the fight.
He wouldn't let that happen. [Since you want to die so much, let me do it for you!]
Opposite to him, Ye Xiao raised up his pale right hand. It looked soft and weak as if he had no power at all. He did not even look close to having an enormous strength as he claimed earlier.
Ye Zifeng's heart was full of murderous intent! He fiercely stroke down the right hand!
"Oh, this is stunning!" Ye Xiao exclaimed.
At that moment, almost all the others held their breath at the same time. A few people who had been supporting Ye Shuqing had closed their eyes. They couldn't endure watching it. [Is the poor kid going to end his miserable life just like that?]
