Ye Yu entered the arena and stepped onto the platform, but no one saw any sign of Yu Feng.
The audience was immediately bewildered.
"Could it be that Yu Feng has disappeared too?"
"No way, he's part of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect, who could make him disappear?"
"Let's wait and see."
However, when the competition started, Yu Feng still hadn't shown up. The referee was very perplexed, and Ye Yu won by default, becoming the champion.
"Because contestant Yu Feng did not show up, the winner of this elite competition is Ye Yu! Yu Feng and Tang Long are tied for the runner-up! Tang Hu is third!"
After the announcement by the referee, everyone left grumbling.
"I thought Yu Feng would participate in the competition, but he didn't show up. It's absolutely rigged! Damn it!"
"Winning all the way without lifting a finger to become the champion, it's definitely rigged."
"Shh, don't say that, that kid probably has a powerful background."
...
Upon receiving the championship award, Ye Yu wasn't too concerned about the ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, but what he really wanted was the Nether Spirit Strange Evil Grass.
After obtaining it, Ye Yu put it into the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night.
Xue Qinghe was very pleased: "Brother Yu, you are the champion. Combined with the rankings of the other two, Tian Dou City ranks first overall. This is a special reward from the royal family: twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins."
Ye Yu accepted a Sparkling Gold Card without hesitation.
"Being able to win so easily, I have to thank you for giving me the qualification to advance. I'll take my leave now."
"Okay."
Ye Yu returned to Lanba Academy and began absorbing the Nether Spirit Strange Evil Grass.
With Ye Yu's constitution, absorbing this rare herb was no problem. After an hour, it was completely assimilated.
Then, the medicinal effects kicked in. Ye Yu began to control the Power of Extreme Evil within him and found it was indeed easier. The upper limit of the Power of Extreme Evil he could control had increased by twenty percent!
This additional twenty percent was a significant boost to Ye Yu's strength.
Moreover, the most exhilarating thing for Ye Yu was that the difficulty of controlling and mastering the Power of Extreme Evil would also be reduced by twenty percent in the future. This meant that cultivating and mastering the Power of Extreme Evil would be twenty percent faster than before.
Originally, Ye Yu thought it would take two years for his left arm to completely undergo Dragon Transformation, but now it would only take a year and a half.
This Nether Spirit Strange Evil Grass indeed had the greatest effect on him, considering the immense amount of evil within him.
Other Soul Masters with an Evil Attribute, if their Evil Power base was ten, would only gain two by absorbing this herb.
If Ye Yu's base was compared to ten thousand, absorbing this herb would add two thousand.
Meanwhile, at the competition venue, the staff had begun to take down the banners and were cleaning up the area.
At this moment, three disheveled men hurriedly came running.
One of them anxiously asked, "Has the competition ended yet?"
The staff answered, "It's been over for a while."
The man's face immediately darkened. He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.
The staff took a closer look at this unkempt man and realized it was Yu Feng, and they were startled.
They also noticed the other two men, who were the ones who hadn't participated before.
The missing people had returned, but the competition was already over.
Yu Feng was extremely angry: "Damn it! Is Ye Yu the champion?"
"Yes, against Tang Long's match, Tang Long directly conceded, and since you didn't show up, Ye Yu became the champion."
Upon hearing this, Yu Feng almost exploded with rage.
Yu Feng returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect, and when the people there saw him, they quickly inquired.
"Yu Feng, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"What happened?"
"I can't really remember. It's like the memory vanished at that moment. When I woke up, I found myself underground, buried. I dug my way out and realized I was in the woods outside Tian Dou City and rushed to the competition venue as fast as I could, but I still missed it."
Yu Feng gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "It must have been that Ye Yu! Damn it!!"
"Sigh, too bad there's no evidence."
Yu Feng was extremely agitated and unwilling: "Letting that phony become the champion really pisses me off. I think he's just a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid, with power probably around just over the Grand Soul Master level. Damn, and such a weakling managed to get the championship."
"Yu Feng, you can go find that Ye Yu. He's from Lanba Academy, and though the dean is your cousin Er'long, she won't stop you if you just want to challenge him."
Yu Feng felt discontented, and upon hearing this, naturally wanted to go.
"Fine, I'll go find that guy right now!"
After absorbing the herb, Ye Yu went to Tian Dou Great Fighting Soul City to see how Tang San and the others were doing in their competition.
Upon arrival, Ye Yu saw that the participant on stage was Ma Hongjun, facing off against Plant Academy today.
The students at Plant Academy were all Plant Type Soul Masters, while Ma Hongjun's fire attribute restrained them.
Moreover, Ma Hongjun's flames were extraordinary, difficult to extinguish, with strong adhesive and corrosive properties, and extremely intense heat.
Ma Hongjun, who hadn't appeared before, was initially thought by everyone to be a substitute member of the Shrek Team due to his unremarkable appearance, but unexpectedly, he was so strong, clearly not a substitute, but a main member.
Everyone gasped in astonishment.
"During the previous team battle, Shrek Team apparently didn't go all out."
"It seems Talon and those four were the substitutes? Because I've noticed quite a gap in strength between those four and Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and others."
"The Shrek Team is truly strong. They probably stand a good chance of winning the championship this time."
"Championship? Even if they're strong, they don't stand a chance. I'm betting the champions will be the team from the Martial Soul Hall."
...
Soon, Ma Hongjun had already defeated five opponents in a row, and the sixth opponent's Martial Soul was the Crimson Flame Thorn, which although a Plant Type, had fire resistance.
Plant Academy could only pin their hopes on this teammate, because if he lost too, there would be no need to play the last match, and they would concede directly.
The battle began. Although it took a bit of effort, Ma Hongjun won without trouble, and the seventh opponent went up and conceded directly.
Ma Hongjun was smug: "I've beaten seven in a row, this feels so great."
Oscar said, "What's there to be smug about? If it were Boss Yu, all 200 participants from the qualifying teams could come one by one and still get defeated by Boss Yu consecutively."
With Oscar's words, Ma Hongjun immediately didn't feel so smug anymore, realizing he was just a small fry compared to Boss Yu.
With Boss Yu's stamina and strength, he was both tough and enduring.
Ma Hongjun adored: "Boss Yu is the real man in my heart. I wish to be like Boss Yu and excel in at least one of his qualities. I'd choose endurance."
"Stop dreaming, Fatty."
Master said, "Ma Hongjun, your attack intensity is second only to Ye Yu in the team. This time you've shown your strength, which will definitely draw attention. In a team, the Strong Attack Type and Control Type are of utmost importance and are the enemy's primary targets, let alone your attack power surpasses the Strong Attack Type Mubai and is long-range. So, in the subsequent finals, opponents will surely target you first. Therefore, you must not only exert your attack power but also protect yourself as much as possible. Among you Seven Monsters, you're the one who needs to learn to fight alone the most."
"Fight alone…"
Ma Hongjun's heart was immediately pierced: "I don't want to be alone."
Master sternly said, "Don't overthink; I'm talking about being alone in combat."
Ma Hongjun asked, "Shouldn't Support Types be the priority target in team fights?"
"They are, but supporters are protected, and your threat is no less than Rongrong's, so I think opponents will prioritize defeating you. As for Ye Yu, he is both resilient and capable, so no one would target him first."
Ye Yu mused: "Just like targeting the main damage dealer in a game team fight, no one would stick to only attacking the support directly."
