Before this, the talent that Chen Fei displayed as a Martial Spirit Master had already defied common sense, showing potential comparable to a Dao Spirit Master. Now, his talent as a Spirit Master surpassed that of a Martial Spirit Master by far, and was even more shocking.
A Spirit Master is already above a Martial Spirit Master, and someone with such talent, if they were to grow, as in Ye Chenyi’s view, who could match their power?
“Another prodigy?” At this moment, Ye Chenyi felt that Chen Fei’s potential and terrifying ability were already approaching that of Su Ran, who inherited the Phoenix bloodline. This situation had completely exceeded his and Ye Chenxing’s expectations, and he felt that this matter needed to be reported to his third brother. Perhaps eliminating Chen Fei was necessary.
Chen Fei had trapped Ye Chenyi using Fireball Technique, seemingly having the upper hand. But he didn’t dare to press further. If he forced Ye Chenyi into a corner, and the other chose to go down in flames, it would become a disaster. There would be no possibility of survival. Therefore, he maintained his current strength, trapping Ye Chenyi but not daring to attempt a kill.
Ye Chenyi also didn’t make any further moves. The two were at a stalemate, and he needed to consult his third brother before making a decision.
Just a short incense stick’s time passed, and Su Ran had successfully refined the Phantom Beast Essence and left the area. Chen Fei, sensing this, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stopped casting Fireball, darting into the grass to meet up with Su Ran.
Under the firestorm, the once scorched 1,000-meter radius of the area had already been regrown with grass. Only the last 300 meters were still burning, leaving a barren wasteland scorched black by the flames.
Ye Chenyi managed to extinguish the fire and hurriedly pursued, activating a secret method to contact Ye Chenxing.
At this moment, Ye Chenxing was deep within the core area, already very close to the forbidden Snow Mountain region. “Finally reached the peak level of an Eighth Rank True Spirit Master,” Ye Chenxing smiled after taking in a fortuitous opportunity. “Su Ran, your Phoenix bloodline belongs to me, no one can stop me.”
The more Ye Chenxing’s strength recovered, the more confident he became. He had sent Ye Chenyi to hunt Su Ran, and even if she managed to escape, she couldn’t increase her power. Meanwhile, his own strength was growing rapidly, and the gap between them would only widen. In the end, when he made his move, victory was almost guaranteed.
As Ye Chenxing was rejoicing in his own power growth, a communication stone in his hand transmitted Ye Chenyi’s message.
“What?” Ye Chenxing was stunned upon hearing the news. “Chen Yang is at the level of a 600 to 700 stage Spirit Master?”
As a Spirit Master himself, Ye Chenxing understood how difficult it was to cultivate. The increase in spiritual power was far beyond what a Martial Spirit Master could compare to.
“How old is he? Could it be…?”
Ye Chenxing’s face darkened as his fear of Chen Fei deepened. “Tell Ye Chenyi to kill Chen Yang. But who will stop Su Ran?”
Ye Chenxing fell into deep thought. “Forget about Chen Yang for now. Focus on stopping Su Ran from obtaining opportunities. If it comes down to the final step and I’m not there, don’t hold back.”
In the end, Ye Chenxing did not instruct Ye Chenyi to kill Chen Fei immediately. He believed that without Ye Chenyi’s interference, Su Ran would quickly obtain her opportunities. However, he didn’t know that without Chen Fei’s help, Su Ran’s speed in obtaining opportunities would not be as fast as it was now.
Without Chen Fei’s support, Su Ran couldn’t efficiently gather the Phantom Beast Essences and had to rely on other rare opportunities. Within this secret realm, hunting Phantom Beasts for their essences was the fastest and most effective way to improve one’s strength.
Time passed, and Chen Fei continued to take risks to stop Ye Chenyi, repeatedly pushing himself into dangerous situations. The more Ye Chenyi used his magical powers, the heavier the backlash he faced. Even if he used the strength of a Seven Rank True Spirit Master, he could only use his abilities nine times before he would die. Naturally, he planned to use his full strength and perish with Chen Fei when the time came.
As Chen Fei and Su Ran ventured deeper into the core area, the Phantom Beasts they encountered grew stronger. Since his first encounter with Ye Chenyi, this was the fifth time Chen Fei had faced a Phantom Beast. The beasts’ strength ranged from mid-Sixth Rank to the current late-Seventh Rank True Spirit Master-level.
Such powerful Phantom Beasts, without the help of the Void Heaven Cauldron, might be impossible for the two to defeat even together.
Along the way, Su Ran refined the essences of four Phantom Beasts and obtained a rare treasure. Chen Fei also stopped Ye Chenyi six times to protect her. Now, Chen Fei had to deal with a Phantom Beast of late-Seventh Rank strength and was about to stop Ye Chenyi for the seventh time.
At this point, Ye Chenyi sensed that Su Ran had stopped moving again.
“How long has it been? Have they found another opportunity?”
Ye Chenyi frowned. He had already noticed that Su Ran’s frequency of stopping to refine opportunities was abnormally high, higher than he could believe.
“This is impossible. Even though this is the core area, there can’t be that many opportunities left.”
“Are they trying to wear me out?”
“Is Chen Yang really willing to die for that demoness Su Ran?”
Ye Chenyi felt uncomfortable and thought that his shining moment should at least come when he defeated Su Ran and brought her to his third brother.
Though Chen Fei had great potential, he still had to be killed. But killing him wasn’t Ye Chenyi’s ultimate goal, nor was it the key to the Ye family’s rise.
“I hope my third brother arrives soon. We brothers will work together to eliminate these two.”
Ye Chenyi prepared for battle and passed on the news of Su Ran’s multiple stops to Ye Chenxing.
Soon, Ye Chenyi received a reply from Ye Chenxing. The message mirrored his previous conclusions, saying that Su Ran’s stopping to refine opportunities was nothing more than a trick to force Ye Chenyi to perish with Chen Fei.
Ye Chenxing believed this to be the case, and so did Ye Chenyi. Neither of them believed that the core area could provide such abundant opportunities to improve one’s strength. After all, the Phantom Beasts were formidable and could even fight above their level before Chen Fei arrived.
Only with the terrifying devouring power of the Void Heaven Cauldron could Chen Fei have killed Phantom Beasts that were stronger than him in one blow.
As Chen Fei reappeared to confront Ye Chenyi for the seventh time, Ye Chenyi had no choice but to transform again. Without using his magical powers, he was no match for Chen Fei.
“Chen Yang, are you not afraid of death?”
“Do you understand? Every time you force me to transform, if I lose control of the magic power within me, I’ll go berserk. At that point, even if you have the strength of a Nine Rank True Spirit Master, you will definitely die!”
Ye Chenyi growled after transforming.
