The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2171 - 2160: The Anticipated Showdown

Night falls.

After the conversation in the reception hall ended.

Everyone began to get busy.

Of course, Ye Chenfeng was an exception. He only needed to prepare for the finals of the Heavenly Profound Festival tomorrow.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, Ye Chenfeng.

Outside, the night was as dark as ink, with only the occasional sound of insects breaking the silence.

Originally with his eyes closed, Ye Chenfeng suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Since you’re here, why not come in and have a seat?"

"Creak!"

The wooden door of the room was pushed open, and two figures, one in white and the other in black, entered. They were Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan.

Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan did not use veils to cover their faces, their beautiful eyes full of surprise. They hadn’t expected Ye Chenfeng to sense their presence?

Swaying her hips, Jiang Caixuan sat down beside Ye Chenfeng. She gently brushed her bangs aside and said, "I didn’t expect little brother to be so talented, reaching such heights in both formations and alchemy. Most importantly, you’re only around thirty. Staying in the Central Continent would bury your talents."

"How about it? Do you want to leave with me? My family’s place is incomparably better than here. At that time, I will have my family fully support your development, allowing you to become a supreme alchemist quickly."

"And don’t worry, my family won’t use underhanded methods to control you. If you’re willing, who knows, maybe I’ll even end up being yours."

Wu Lingxiang sat directly on Ye Chenfeng’s other side and said, "Her family only has Artifact Refiners, while our Wu family is the true birthplace of Alchemists. Join our Wu family, and you will become a supreme alchemist in the shortest time."

Always so aloof, Wu Lingxiang bit her lip, her cheeks slightly flushed. After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "She could marry you, and I could marry you too. I’ve never taken a liking to any man. If we truly develop feelings for each other, I could become your wife."

At this point, Ye Chenfeng finally understood what was happening. Were these two women here to recruit him? He indeed intended to go to the places of Lao Bai and Lao Hei’s families, but definitely not now.

Currently, many sects in the Central Continent were involved because of him, and he couldn’t just leave them behind.

Back in the Immortal Moon Pavillion in the Profound Continent, Ye Chenfeng had met the descendants of Lao Bai, Moon Fairy. She had already returned to her family, and it wouldn’t be long before people from the Bai family would come looking for him.

Ye Chenfeng stood up from between the two women and said, "Ladies, did you visit so late at night just for this? At least for now, I won’t be leaving the Central Continent."

Jiang Caixuan restrained her smile and said, "You are indeed a genius in formations and alchemy, and your combat power is also excellent. But your strength is only at the Divinity Transformation Realm, whereas those so-called Five Young Masters of the Central Continent are all above the fourth layer of the Spirit God Realm. Are you sure you can defeat them with your current strength? The gap between your levels is too great; sheer combat power can’t make up for it."

Wu Lingxiang agreed with Jiang Caixuan’s comment: "She’s right about that. Your combat power has its limits. Participating in the Heavenly Profound Festival isn’t that important for you. In our family’s place, there are many geniuses for you to spar with, and your real strengths lie in formations and alchemy."

"Kid, it seems our Jiang family girl has taken a liking to you. That’s a good sign! If she knew you’re a Supreme Ten Revolutions, an Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner, and a Fifth-Rank Talisman Master, she’d probably be even more enamored with you." The teasing voice of Lao Hei Jiang Yuntian echoed in Ye Chenfeng’s mind.

Lao Bai Wu Fengxian chimed in, "This Wu family girl is clearly cool and aloof; for her to say she’d marry you indicates she doesn’t dislike you. She might even like you. We’ve suggested you take these two girls before."

"As they say, don’t let fertile water flow to outsiders. Your bloodline is likely powerful, as evidenced by your existing children. If your bloodline mixes with that of the Wu or Jiang families, your offspring will undoubtedly be formidable."

Ye Chenfeng was unmoved by the persuasion of Lao Hei and Lao Bai. Ignoring those two old men, he said to Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan, "Ladies, if that’s all you wanted to say, you may leave. At least in the short term, I won’t be leaving the Central Continent."

Ye Chenfeng’s attitude was firm.

Jiang Caixuan and Wu Lingxiang genuinely wished to take Ye Chenfeng away immediately, but ultimately, they suppressed the thought.

Jiang Caixuan huffed, "You little rascal! I’m doing this for your own good, and yet you don’t appreciate it. I’ll see how you perform in the Heavenly Profound Festival! By then, I might have to come rescue you, and when that happens, you’ll have to come with me."

Wu Lingxiang furrowed her brows and said, "I will save his life. It’s unnecessary for you to step in."

"Wu Lingxiang, how about we have a spar first? I recall the last time we fought was ages ago, wasn’t it?"

"Do you think I’m afraid of you? You won’t be able to beat me."

...

Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan argued as they left Ye Chenfeng’s room, their figures soon vanishing into the night.

In response, Ye Chenfeng merely shook his head with a wry smile. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

An entire night quickly passed.

When the sun slowly rose from the east the next day.

The entire Spirit Artifact City was already bustling with activity. After Ye Chenfeng revealed himself as an Eighth Grade Alchemist yesterday, everyone was eagerly anticipating today’s finals of the Heavenly Profound Festival, especially since Ye Chenfeng was a contestant.

A huge platform for dueling had been reassembled in the South Square of Spirit Artifact City.

All the contestants stood upon the platform.

Zhao Xingtu, Xue Wanqing, and the others didn’t enter the VIP room. Instead, they found an empty spot under the platform to watch.

Although Yun Yutang and Ling Wushuang also passed the preliminaries and could participate in the finals, Ye Chenfeng advised them to withdraw. They were relatively close to Ye Chenfeng, but their capabilities were nowhere near the Five Young Masters of the Central Continent. If they faced someone like Jin Zhiteng in the finals, they’d likely be doomed.

So the only participants in the finals were Ye Chenfeng and the Five Young Masters of the Central Continent, totaling six people.

The Sect Masters of Xiao Yao Palace, Demonic Flame Valley, Heavenly Sword Sect, the Murongs, and the Jins all stood in front of the platform.

There was a box on the left side of the platform, containing tokens engraved with numbers one to six.

Each contestant had to draw a token.

Contestants who draw numbers one and two would face off in the first match.

Numbers three and four would face off in the second match.

Numbers five and six would face off in the third match.

This would eliminate three contestants initially.

Luo Qibai was the first to reach in and draw a token. He held it high, revealing a "two" engraved on it.

Next, Jin Zhiteng, Mu Yunliang, Murong Suyu, and Hua Changsheng drew their tokens.

Jin Zhiteng drew a "three".

Murong Suyu drew a "four".

Mu Yunliang drew a "six".

Hua Changsheng drew a "five".

Ye Chenfeng was the only one who hadn’t drawn a token yet, and Luo Youfang, Sect Master of Xiao Yao Palace, said, "Why bother drawing? There’s only one token with a ’one’ left."

Ye Chenfeng had expected this outcome. The box might not even contain a "one" token; it was likely prearranged by Xiao Yao Palace.

Though Demonic Flame Valley and the Murongs treated Ye Chenfeng slightly better, he wasn’t part of their forces. Also, since Ye Chenfeng insisted on participating in the Heavenly Profound Festival, he was bound to face Jin Zhiteng and others eventually, so they didn’t interfere with Xiao Yao Palace’s arrangements.

Ye Chenfeng shrugged indifferently and addressed Luo Youfang, "Are you so certain I’ll die at Luo Qibai’s hands? Before, you thought I’d lose to Luo Qibai in alchemy, but what happened? Your scheming may well backfire."
