Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 512 - 498: Demon Level Comprehension

"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, we are all disciples of the Holy Palace and should support each other. I hope you won’t commit a foolish act!"

Fan Li was panicked and couldn’t help but blurt out loudly.

His understanding of the King Martial Dominating Body Fist was superficial at best. Under the assault of two mysterious martial artists, he was already at a disadvantage, and now being distracted, he was plunged into a more arduous situation, severely injured and in agony.

"Fan Li, how thick-skinned you truly are to say such words at this time."

"When you pushed me toward these martial artists, why didn’t you think that I am also a disciple of the Holy Palace?" Xiao Ye sneered repeatedly, moving beside Fan Li, his pair of pitch-black eyes flashing with two brilliant beams of Divine Radiance, his entire War Intent boiling over.

Upon hearing Xiao Ye’s words, Fan Li trembled even more, his momentum involuntarily shrinking.

Thinking how he, a genius disciple from the Xuanzi Hall, had to speak humbly in front of Xiao Ye, his frustration reached its limit, and yet this was the only way he could behave.

Pressing down the anger in his heart, Fan Li spoke out: "Xiao Ye, we are all disciples of the Holy Palace, surely you know that harming a fellow sect member is a serious offense. As a newbie, do you dare to commit such a crime?"

Xiao Ye slightly lifted his palm, then clenched it into a fist, an intense light blossoming, terrifying power fluctuations swept through all directions.

With a sneer he said in a sinister tone, "Don’t worry, killing you would dirty my hands. With these mysterious martial artists here, why should I dirty my own hands?"

As soon as Xiao Ye finished speaking, under Fan Li’s shocked gaze, he punched him.

His intense power fluctuation shattered everything, and Fan Li’s body unsurprisingly flew backward, struck by a gentle force into the crowd of mysterious martial artists, even knocking over several of them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At once, all the cold gazes of the mysterious martial artists swept towards Fan Li, causing an ashen-faced Fan Li, who struggled to stand, to blanch.

"Fan Li, just enjoy the attacks from these mysterious martial artists. If you have the ability, I’ll wait for you on the Second Layer!"

Xiao Ye stood proudly in the First Level of the Haotian Tower, his face full of mockery as he watched Fan Li.

After hearing those words, Fan Li clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, wishing he could tear Xiao Ye to pieces. This scene was so similar to when he had previously set Xiao Ye up.

Xiao Ye was right; he didn’t need to lift a finger. These mysterious martial artists would teach Fan Li a lesson on his behalf, and he didn’t have to worry about any punishment.

"Xiao Ye, I, Fan Li, vow that we will be enemies for life!" bellowed Fan Li in rage, quickly submerged by several martial artists.

"Enemies for life? That depends on whether you have the ability. Those who provoke me, Xiao Ye, always meet a miserable end, and surely you will be one of them!"

Xiao Ye smiled faintly, then turned and walked towards the entrance to the Second Layer.

The other disciples were dumbfounded.

Fan Li had a significant reputation in the Xuanzi Hall, an absolutely outstanding disciple, but now he was being bested by a newbie from the Yellow Hall, which was utterly absurd.

If this were to spread, it would surely cause a sensation, and Fan Li’s face would be utterly lost.

"Hurry up and rush, even a newbie disciple from the Yellow Hall has reached the Second Layer, if we fail, that’s the true embarrassment!"

"Yes, hurry up and charge, we cannot fall behind!"

Numerous disciples snapped to their senses and quickly launched an assault towards the mysterious martial artists, hoping to get close to the entrance to the second layer.

However, although their cultivation levels were all above Xiao Ye’s, when it came to understanding of the King Martial combat techniques, they fell far too short. Only a small number of them could withstand the attacks of the mysterious martial artists and slowly make their way to the entrance.

Just as Xiao Ye approached the entrance to the second layer, the ten law enforcement elders stationed outside the Haotian Tower simultaneously opened their eyes, their faces full of shock and disbelief.

The Haotian Tower is divided into three layers, and they would be alerted whenever someone stepped into a higher layer.

"How long has it been, and someone has already made it to the second layer? Incredible, such comprehension ability is probably even beyond those monsters in the main hall," an elder with a slightly chubby figure exclaimed in amazement.

"I suspect it must be Fan Li. He has a great reputation in the Xuanzi Hall, even this old man has heard of him; his comprehension must be extremely high."

"Yes, I too believe it’s Fan Li!"

"It looks like our Earth Hall is finally going to produce a peerless genius who can compete against those guys in the Heavenly Hall!"

"Hahaha!"

...

The ten law enforcement elders burst out laughing. The thin elder who had been guiding Xiao Ye and others in their assessment quickly formed a seal technique with his hands, and the void before them suddenly shimmered, revealing an image that displayed the scene of the second layer.

When the ten law enforcement elders saw Xiao Ye’s figure in the image, their eyes widened as if they were petrified, their faces full of incredulity.

"It’s Xiao... Xiao Ye! Could my eyes be deceiving me?" an elder rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a ghost.

"There is no mistake, I too see it’s Xiao Ye!"

"The first person to reach the second layer is actually not Fan Li, but Xiao Ye. Good heavens, how monstrous must his comprehension be!"

"Forget our Earth Hall, with his level of comprehension, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to advance to the main hall and become a demon-level disciple in the future!"

The nine law enforcement elders wore faces of astonishment and simultaneously turned their heads towards Tian Jiu, their eyes seemingly asking: Did you already know Xiao Ye had such an incredible comprehension ability and thus specially granted him the token to participate in this Earth Hall assessment?

Tian Jiu was also full of surprise. Seeing the inquiring looks from the other elders, he shook his head and replied with a wry smile, "This youngster is just a genius I accidentally discovered during the Dynasty Battle between the Four Great States, with a talent comparable to ordinary geniuses in the Central State."

"But I swear, I really had no idea his comprehension would be so heaven-defying."

Hearing Tian Jiu’s words, the other elders sighed in admiration.

Discovering a genius like Xiao Ye meant Tian Jiu would certainly receive a great reward. One could only say he was immensely lucky.

"Gentlemen, I suppose other disciples will soon reach the second layer; I must hurry to announce the assessment content for the second layer."

At this moment, the thin elder amongst the ten law enforcement elders stood up and spoke, then levitated into the air, arriving at a height even with the second layer of the Haotian Tower.

Meanwhile, the walls of the Haotian Tower’s second layer started to ripple like the surface of water, and absorbed the thin elder into it.
