Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 658 - 668: What’s Your Status? (36th Update!)
```
The $100 million prize caused the entire Black Fist world to completely boil over. At this moment, countless flights had added routes to Xiangjiang.
Innumerable Black Fist fighters went crazy. $100 million, plus other prizes, sponsorships, and the like, made this competition immensely famous and spectacular.
Some obscure fighters also signed up, fighting was what they sought. Anyone who came to participate in this competition had to be strong. So those uninterested in fame, but keen on skill, also felt their hearts heat up with anticipation.
And all of this was simply a result of a single sentence from Ye Ling. As for Ye Fei, Ye Ling believed in him. He would transform once again in this competition.
The power of the Slaughter Physique was beyond anyone's estimation—one of the most formidable fighting bodies.
Moreover, the Slaughter tends to be Yin, but Buddhism is Yang. A person with the Slaughter Physique stayed in a Buddhist temple for a full eighteen years, subsisting on strict vegetarian meals and chanting sutras daily.
For eighteen years, Ye Fei remained chaste, creating a legend. Ye Fei, with both Yin and Yang attributes, became the most terrifying Slaughter Physique in history.
In the following time, Ye Ling was left on his own. He couldn't leave to return to Donghai yet, as he needed to watch over these two individuals.
After all, anything could happen. What if Li Tianhao made a breakthrough, or Yang Fei encountered some formidable foe? He had to be prepared for any eventuality.
In these days, Ye Ling played and enjoyed himself freely. Every day, he indulged in seafood, roamed about, fished, or simply enjoyed the sea breeze.
In any case, he was like someone playing through life, and in such a state, his cultivation improved by half a level unexpectedly.
All his actions followed the natural order, without deliberately doing anything particular. He acted as he pleased, doing whatever came to his mind, playing through the dust of the world.
On the sixth day, the Xiang Family's Black Fist competition had already started, incorporating over three hundred of the world's top fighters.
The competition lasted ten days, with brutal matches daily. On the Black Fist stage, stepping up meant signing a life-and-death agreement—if you were beaten to death, you could only blame your insufficient skills.
Ye Ling went to watch on the first day of Ye Fei's matches. Three fights, and Ye Fei never took longer than ten seconds to knock out his opponents, creating a new miracle.
Of course, the Xiang Family had already laid bets overseas. This time, they planned to make a massive profit from this top-tier event, filling their coffers.
While the Xiang Family's head was busy working for his own interests, Ye Ling was vacationing on the beach at that time.
On the crowded beach, girls in bikinis showcased their figures, wearing sun hats and sunglasses. Ye Ling really didn't understand.
Most of their skin was already on display. What's the point of sunglasses then? To cover their eyes, or maybe just to look cool?
Meanwhile, not far away on another section of the beach, surrounded by no one, the renowned Xiangjiang director Du Feng was shooting a movie, having occupied that part of the beach for the shoot.
However, Du Feng, intent on clearing the area of tourists, sent people who spoke politely, fearful of upsetting any visitors.
And Du Feng wasn't looking too happy as he directed the film; the scene where the female lead and supporting actress clashed somehow felt awkward and not as smooth and exhilarating as expected.
The leading lady was Yu Rou, the hottest actress in the entertainment industry, a box office guarantee, like Jay Chou in his prime, with nearly unrivaled fan appeal.

And Yu Rou, she was even more impressive than him, with countless fans; she even had a significant fanbase in the West, which was critical. What was more, Du Feng, the director with the fierce and shrewd gaze, could tell that Yu Rou was very dedicated to her craft—at least she acted with heart.
On the other side, the actress who started her career early had always done well but was fated to be the second female lead, having never been the main lead.
With good looks and acting skills to match, she was recognized in the entertainment industry as a troublemaker, with a big temper and even bigger airs, surpassing the demeanor of some top actresses.
If things didn't go her way, she would curse at the support actors and generally be in a terrible mood. It was just as well that her acting was decent; otherwise, she would've long disappeared from the entertainment world.

This time, it was said that she had gotten involved with the young master of the Guo family, a veritable leviathan, an absolute aristocrat.
Having hooked up with young master Guo, it went without saying that, at least in Xiangjiang, she was untouchable; even the big bosses from the underworld had to give her face.
Here she was, starting her old routine again, her pride getting the better of her. She believed that getting her to play a supporting role for a newcomer who'd been in the business for less than half a year was beneath her.
If it were Bingbing or another top actress, she wouldn't have said anything because their status was clear, and she couldn't topple them just by getting involved with young master Guo.
But now, with this woman who started her career in singing and now wanted to cross over to film and television, she couldn't accept it.
"I mean, do you even know how to act? If you can't act, just go back to singing, okay? Look at what you're doing. There's no chemistry between us at all!"
This big star named Lu Xue threw the prop in her hand and cursed, making the whole set suddenly uncomfortable.
Including Director Du, who was stunned. What was this? Cursing in front of him, the director?
Yu Rou bowed her head across from Lu Xue, not knowing what to say, her face a mix of unease and embarrassment. She felt she had worked hard.
"Lu Xue, what are you doing!"
Director Du immediately stood up and walked over with a dark expression; everyone knew his temper was the worst during filming, and cursing was common. Many stars feared him.
But now, Lu Xue met Director Du's chilly eyes directly.
"Director, this scene is impossible to play. She's a complete amateur. Look at the mess she's made: no emotional expression, nothing. I can't work with her!"
Lu Xue spoke coldly and then pointed at Yu Rou, while Yu Rou's agent hurriedly came to the defense of his client with her impeccable background.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lu Xue, but I think Yu Rou is doing very well. You can say that our acting isn't mature, but you can't say we're not trying."
"As for coordination, I think Director Du has the most authority to comment!"
Yu Rou's agent shot back immediately. What a joke—what status do you think you have in the entertainment industry? Yu Rou may be a cross-industry newcomer, but you should see the position we hold in the world of singers!
Yu Rou's agent was really anxious, and even the surrounding crew was taken aback.
