Best Young Master

"Uh..."

Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf were utterly stunned.

They never expected that deep within the Xuan Ci Ancient Cave, filled with the aura of destruction, there could be plants surviving.

"This is unbelievable, plants actually surviving in this place."

The Bai Yan wolf muttered while approaching the ancient vines.

These ancient vines shimmered with Holy Light, each ray carrying the terrifying Xuan Ci Holy Power, illuminating the Bai Yan wolf and causing its body to convulse and nearly collapse.

"Oh, what a fragrance, these ancient vines have actually borne fruit."

The Bai Yan wolf excitedly shouted and then took a big bite out of a crystal-clear white fruit, swallowing it immediately.

"Aow... It’s killing me with pain!"

The Bai Yan wolf jumped around, surrounded by Xuan Ci Polar Light, almost completely falling apart, with its body covered in cracks, but no blood flowed out; instead, it emitted the light of Xuan Ci Polar Light.

"Is this... Xuan Ci Holy Fruit?"

Ye Fan was shocked, never thinking he would see the legendary Xuan Ci Holy Fruit here.

The Xuan Ci Holy Fruit is a sacred fruit that only exists in legends, said to offer many benefits, second only to the Immortal Elixir, though it doesn’t increase lifespan. Its exact effects can only be known by those who have consumed it.

However—

Until now, Ye Fan had never heard of anyone having the fortune to consume this holy fruit, as its formation conditions were so demanding that it was almost impossible to appear.

Unexpectedly, there was such a holy fruit in this Xuan Ci Ancient Cave. Ye Fan endured the excruciating pain and picked one up, gritting his teeth as he ate it.

The holy fruit melted in his mouth, transforming into a clear stream flowing into his abdomen, and then, Ye Fan’s entire body exploded, with every broken bone and drop of essence blood enveloped in Xuan Ci Holy Power, crackling.

After several fragmented body rebirths, Ye Fan had grown accustomed to this pain, but this time his consciousness almost blurred from the pain.

After rebirth through Thunder Liquid and Dragon Essence, his body refinement was comparable to the Saint’s, yet it still shattered, showing the terror of Xuan Ci Polar Light!

"Ye, are you alright? Please don’t die! You said none of us would die; we need to settle accounts with those little bastards outside!"

The Bai Yan wolf communicated with Ye Fan through divine consciousness, constantly encouraging him to persist.

Xuan Ci Polar Light is magnetic power unlike any other force, directly impacting the body’s magnetic field, leaving no defense.

Ye Fan struggled to maintain the clarity of his Spirit Platform, accepting the baptism of Xuan Ci Polar Light.

This was a process of rebirth. After the Nine Heavens Profound Body reached the Fifth Level, his Treasure Body was already comparable to Holy Weapons, difficult to break, let alone be reborn.

If not for this occasion, he would have had to rely on the power of Heavenly Tribulation to refine his body during a breakthrough.

However—

This time, he unexpectedly received a heavenly opportunity. Using Xuan Ci Polar Light to temper his body could increase its strength even further, although he might not break through to the Sixth Layer of the Nine Heavens Profound Body, it would surely represent a qualitative improvement compared to before.

This was truly a blessing in disguise, bringing Ye Fan endless joy.

However, the process of enduring Xuan Ci Polar Light’s refining was extremely painful; he had to strive to keep a shred of clarity in his Spirit Platform, preventing himself from being lost.

It was unclear how long had passed, but Ye Fan felt his body growing warm, no longer feeling the excruciating pain; all broken bones, flesh, and essence blood had merged with the Xuan Ci Polar Light.

"Crackle!"

Ye Fan’s broken bones and flesh emitted a crystalline glow, rapidly wriggling to begin reconstructing his body, with the essence blood also flowing back.

In a moment, Ye Fan stood again before the Bai Yan wolf, every strand of hair glimmering with crystal-clear brilliance, his Treasure Body flowing with Holy Light.

"So powerful, this is the purest Primordial Magnetic Immortal Light, a primordial force from before creation!"

The Bai Yan wolf screamed in painful excitement.

Though it hadn’t experienced a terrifying fragmented body rebirth like Ye Fan, it had nonetheless gained tremendous benefits. This fruit altered its constitution, granting it an additional strand of Xuan Ci Polar Light within its body.

"Aow! Hahaha..."

The Bai Yan wolf laughed wildly, like a thousand-year-old demon freed from its cage, its eyes shooting green light, exclaiming, "That dolt actually gifted us a great opportunity; it’s hard to say whether we should hate or thank them!"

Ye Fan deeply felt the same. His body also now housed a strand of Xuan Ci Polar Light, with crackling arcs of it surrounding him.

At that moment, deep within the Xuan Ci Ancient Cave, a massive Xuan Ci Polar Light burst forth, engulfing Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf.

"This is..."

The Bai Yan wolf paused, then joyfully exclaimed, "Ye, quickly use the Emperor Weapon to capture this Xuan Ci Polar Light; it’s the Root of Xuan Ci, the mother of earthly magnetic power, probably unmatched under the heavens, an invaluable Immortal Treasure!"

The Bai Yan wolf’s eyes were reddened with desire to capture it, but it couldn’t.

Because the mother of Xuan Ci was too powerful, even its Purple Gold Bell couldn’t withstand it, capturing it recklessly might destroy its Life-bound Spiritual Treasure.

Swish!

Without a word, Ye Fan summoned the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, opening the Virtual Space to capture the mother of Xuan Ci.

Simultaneously, Ye Fan absorbed a strand of the mother of Xuan Ci, it roamed through his meridians like a True Dragon.

With the mother of Xuan Ci in their bodies, ordinary Xuan Ci Polar Light couldn’t threaten them, a myriad of Xuan Ci Polar Lights approached like gentle breezes.

These ancient vines bore a total of six Xuan Ci Holy Fruits; for Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf, it was absolutely a great harvest.

Unfortunately, Xuan Ci Holy Fruits can’t be stored by any means; once picked, they must be consumed immediately, or else they’ll dissipate into pure Xuan Ci Polar Light and vanish into the air.

After collecting the Mother of Xuan Ci, Ye Fan sat cross-legged in the ancient cave, silently refining the Xuan Ci Polar Light within his body, striving to merge it into his flesh and blood.

The Bai Yan wolf was also silently comprehending, as the Xuan Ci Polar Light is nurtured by the world, representing a primordial law of the world and the Tao Markings of Heaven and Earth.

Ye Fan’s meditation lasted a full three days.

After three days, he finally opened his eyes. Within his eyes, suns, moons, and stars faintly appeared and disappeared, as if he was creating a world.

There were several more Tao Markings of Heaven and Earth high above the Dantian, swirling like dragons. At this moment, he had already acquired nearly thirty Tao Markings of Heaven and Earth.

"Let’s go, let’s give them hell!"

Ye Fan said calmly.

Although only three days had passed, Ye Fan had undergone a transformation as if reborn, becoming stronger. His strength reached the pinnacle of the Mid-Stage of Lord Realm, and he could break through into the Late-stage Lord Realm at any time.

Suffering losses was not in his nature, even if the opponent was the son of the City Lord of the Human Clan’s First City. The competition on the Emperor Road allows no retreat.

If he retreated today, it would be a severe blow to his Martial Arts Will and could even affect his future Proving Dao, forming a Heart Demon.

"Great, those bastards probably never imagined we already have the Xuan Ci Polar Light!"

The Bai Yan wolf howled excitedly.

Containing the Mother of Xuan Ci within, ordinary Xuan Ci Polar Light posed no threat to them, and the attraction disappeared. Ye Fan picked the remaining four Xuan Ci Holy Fruits and shared them with the Bai Yan wolf.

After the first rebirth through body reconstruction, his flesh and blood already contained the Xuan Ci Polar Light. Although this time was not as effective as the first, it still tempered his body once.

If others knew that Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf were eating Xuan Ci Holy Fruits like regular fruits, even a Saint would probably be furious enough to spit blood. It was utterly wasteful.

...

Outside the Xuan Ci Ancient Cave, Young Master Pang Xie still sat quietly not far from the cave entrance, though his eyelids twitched inexplicably, not knowing why.

Not long ago, he sensed that a Xuan Ci Polar Light seemed about to emerge from the Xuan Ci Ancient Cave, yet it ultimately did not rush out.

Without obtaining the Xuan Ci Polar Light, even his father dared not venture into the Xuan Ci Ancient Cave, so he too could only wait patiently.

He was convinced that Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf were doomed. No one could survive the Xuan Ci Polar Light; it would undoubtedly decompose them.

Therefore, he wasn’t worried; the Xuan Ci Polar Light was his alone, and no one could stop him from obtaining it.

Moreover, once he acquired the Xuan Ci Polar Light and refined it, he would no longer fear the Xuan Ci Holy Power, allowing him to freely enter and exit the Xuan Ci Ancient Cave and claim Ye Fan’s broken Emperor Weapon for himself.

"Strange, the Xuan Ci Polar Light should have emerged! Why hasn’t it appeared yet?"

Pang Xie felt a foreboding sense of unease and muttered to himself.

"Could it be that the one named Ye survived and obtained the Xuan Ci Polar Light?" Pang Xie shook his head, saying, "Impossible, he must have perished, body and soul!"

As he spoke, a rumbling sound suddenly came from within the Xuan Ci Ancient Cave, as if the cave was about to collapse, shaking the earth.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying sound echoed, magnetic light surged, and the depths of the Xuan Ci Ancient Cave quaked, followed by a torrent roaring like a mountain flood and tsunami.

With the Bai Yan wolf beneath him, Ye Fan strode through dazzling light, breaking through the seal of the Xuan Ci Polar Light, emerging like a War God, majestic and imposing.

"What?"

"He isn’t dead?"

"He obtained the Xuan Ci Polar Light?!"

Scarface and the other three were dumbfounded, staring at Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf, both enveloped in Xuan Ci Polar Light, a chill creeping over them.

"Give your lives to me!"

Ye Fan wasted no words, spurring the Bai Yan wolf, quickly reaching Scarface, and with the Jing Tian Divine Spear in hand, enveloped in Thunder Power and Xuan Ci Polar Light, pierced his brow, pinning him to the void.

"Not good? He obtained the Xuan Ci Polar Light; we aren’t his match, retreat quickly!"

The remaining three felt their hearts grow cold with terror as they fled into the distance.

Ye Fan did not chase them but instead appeared directly before Young Master Pang Xie, looking at him coldly, asking, "Tell me, how do you plan to die?"

"You can’t kill me; my father is the City Lord. If you kill me, you won’t live either!"

Pang Xie was utterly terrified. Even the Xuan Ci Polar Light couldn’t kill Ye Fan, who instead gained immense fortune. How could he fight him?

"Smack!"

Ye Fan swung his hand, slapping Pang Xie’s handsome face, sending him flying, Thunder Power invading his body, causing him to convulse repeatedly, curling up like a braised shrimp.

"Haven’t you always wanted to kill me? Biting off more than you can chew, I’ll beat you to death!"

Ye Fan caught up, lifting him with one hand, and slapped him hundreds of times, almost bursting his head.

"Ye, don’t be arrogant. As long as I live today, the Human Clan’s First City will be your burial ground!"

Knowing pleading was useless, Young Master Pang Xie instead turned defiant, glaring venomously at Ye Fan, spitting out a mouthful of broken teeth, muttering indistinctly.

"Still defiant? Still daring to threaten me? I’ll end you right now!"

Ye Fan sneered at him. This guy, having ended up in such a dire situation, still dared to threaten him, showing how arrogant he usually was.
