Best Young Master

For a moment, the entire plaza fell silent, and all eyes were on Ye Fan.

As members of the Purple Demon Family, they were well aware of Zi Tianmo’s talent and comprehension, which was absolutely top-notch among the younger generation.

Before Ye Fan’s arrival, he was the future hope of the entire Purple Demon Family, and everyone had high expectations of him.

However—

This time, Ye Fan was designated as a seed candidate by the Clan Leader upon his arrival, a huge disparity that not only a proud person like him couldn’t bear; even others wouldn’t be able to accept it.

Ye Fan didn’t expect the Clan Leader to announce this news in front of so many people.

Although many direct lineage members of the Purple Demon Family present already knew he had joined the family, for him to have such an esteemed status immediately after joining was something they couldn’t accept unless Ye Fan could demonstrate strength that would silence them; otherwise, many would certainly be dissatisfied.

"Clan Leader, I disagree. He is just an outsider without the mark of our Purple Demon Family flowing through his veins. Why should he replace my position and become a seed candidate? I want to challenge him. If he can defeat me, I will acknowledge his status and position as a seed candidate. Otherwise, let him get out of our Purple Demon Family!"

Zi Tianmo looked at Ye Fan with a cold gaze, his provocation very obvious.

"Come, come, let’s drink!"

Ye Fan completely ignored his provocative gaze and instead raised his wine bowl, speaking to the people around him.

"Oh, okay!"

The person awkwardly smiled, unsure whether to raise their glass or not, caught in a dilemma.

Clan Leader Zixiao Yu and Elder Zixiao Fei exchanged a glance, not stopping this challenge. It was apparent they wanted to use Zi Tianmo’s strength to test how strong Ye Fan’s potential truly was.

"I refuse to fight!"

After finishing the fine wine in his bowl, Ye Fan said calmly.

Wow!

The entire plaza was in an uproar. No one expected that facing Zi Tianmo’s aggressive challenge, Ye Fan would choose not to fight and instead avoid the confrontation.

In an instant, many people’s impression of Ye Fan worsened. The Demon Clan is a belligerent race, and no matter the family, if faced with a challenge, unless they knew they were outmatched, they would never avoid a fight.

"It seems this Ye Fan is all superficial."

"Avoiding a fight is simply a disgrace to the reputation of our Purple Demon Family."

"How can someone like this be a seed candidate for our Purple Demon Family?"

"An outsider shouldn’t represent our Purple Demon Family. Now he doesn’t even have the courage to respond to a challenge. I start to doubt the usefulness of the family accepting such a worthless person."

For a moment, discussion was rampant, almost unanimously believing that Ye Fan was cowardly. Even with overwhelming strength, without an invincible spirit, he cannot succeed ultimately.

Zixiao Yu frowned. He also didn’t expect Ye Fan to choose not to fight, which is not the attitude of a strong person.

A strong person should bravely face any challenge, and only by defeating all challengers can they finally attain the supreme position.

"Brother Ye..."

Zi Huan was also stunned, her beautiful eyes flashing with a peculiar light. She thought that with Ye Fan’s character, he shouldn’t fear any challenge, let alone not have the courage to respond.

After all, when faced with the pursuit of the Demon Lord from the Moduu Family, Ye Fan showed no trace of fear. His calm attitude was enchanting to her.

Ye Fan’s refusal to fight was like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil, instantly causing the whole plaza to explode.

Those who could occupy a place in this plaza were all direct lineage members of the Purple Demon Family. Although the Clan Leader’s order couldn’t be defied, none had confidence in Ye Fan, and some even harbored a subtle hostility towards him.

"Clan Leader, I believe someone like him, who avoids fighting when challenged, is not qualified to be a member of our Purple Demon Family. Please reconsider and revoke your decision!"

An elder with a sinister appearance gave Ye Fan a cold glance and solemnly suggested to Zixiao Yu.

"Yes, please reconsider, Clan Leader!"

More than half of the people in the plaza echoed, while the rest remained skeptical and hesitant, thinking that since the Clan Leader made this decision, it must have been carefully considered, not a hasty one.

"Ye Fan..."

Zixiao Yu looked at Ye Fan suspiciously. He believed that Ye Fan wouldn’t fear battle and that his statement must have another purpose. He hoped Ye Fan would explain his intent.

Facing the crowd’s skepticism, Ye Fan stood up, took two steps forward, stopping not far from them, and said in a deep voice, "Do not misunderstand, my refusal to fight is not because I fear you but because you are simply unworthy of being my opponent."

Wow...

A single stone raised a thousand waves!

Ye Fan’s words left everyone dumbfounded. No one expected Ye Fan to be even more arrogant than them, daring to say that the number one genius of their young generation wasn’t worthy of being his opponent.

"Hahaha..."

Zi Tianmo was taken aback, then laughed wildly towards the sky, saying, "Interesting, I’ve never seen anyone more arrogant than me. You’re the first. Just because of your arrogance, I won’t kill you, but I’ll make you endure all sorts of tortures to make you understand there are people you can’t provoke!"

"Heh..."

Ye Fan sneered disdainfully, not taking Zi Tianmo’s words to heart, and turned to head back to his seat.

"Fine, fine, I want to see just how strong you are!"

Anger rose in Zi Tianmo’s heart, turning into malice, and he swung a punch, the terrifying Power of Destruction forming a ferocious black dragon, clawing towards Ye Fan’s back.

"Swish!"

Ye Fan swiftly turned, holding a wine bowl in his hand, directly imprisoning the black dragon formed by the Punch Ray in the wine bowl, with not a drop of wine spilled. The originally clear wine turned pitch black, as if a black dragon was swimming inside the bowl.

"Thank you!"

Ye Fan raised his hand and drank all the strong wine in the bowl in one go, wiped his mouth, exhaled a breath of alcohol, and said, "Sure enough, wine mixed with Death Qi is even more rich and mellow."

"You..."

Zi Tianmo’s expression changed dramatically; Ye Fan managed to neutralize his killing move with just a bowl of wine, giving Zi Tianmo a bad premonition.

"It’s impolite not to reciprocate, so I’ll offer you a drink as well!"

After speaking, Ye Fan poured a bowl of wine and then tossed it towards Zi Tianmo.

"Buzz!"

The wine bowl instantly enlarged, pressing down like a bright moon with an intimidating aura, shocking Zi Tianmo profoundly.

"Kill!"

Zi Tianmo roared furiously, punching towards the wine bowl with his entire essence Qi nearly igniting, concentrating intensely.

"Bang!"

The wine bowl shattered, and the bowl of wine immediately scattered, transforming into thousands of Sword Radiance, rushing toward him.

"Sizzle..."

Startled, Zi Tianmo hurriedly activated a secret technique, forming a layer of defense around himself, enveloping him like a black cocoon.

The wine was evaporated by the Power of Death, and the shattered wine bowl fell to the ground. Zi Tianmo withdrew his defense, his face exceptionally ugly.

Because his clothes were punctured in multiple places; a perfectly fine piece of clothing now resembled a sieve.

At this moment, all the voices that had previously doubted Ye Fan were completely silenced!

The combat power Ye Fan just showcased went beyond their imagination!

"Brother Ye, you’re amazing!"

Zi Huan rushed over excitedly, hugged Ye Fan, and gave him a passionate kiss, leaving a moist floral mark.

"Boom!"

Seeing this scene, Zi Tianmo felt his heart shatter, with jealousy, anger, and hatred intertwining, making him lose his rationality instantly.

The others were not surprised by Zi Huan’s behavior since the Demon Clan doesn’t have many rules; women are more open, choosing anyone they fancy, or when desire strikes, doing whatever they please, anywhere.

Zixiao Yu also smiled slightly, not disliking his daughter’s behavior, instead considering it normal.

The Demon Clan itself is a race that worships strong people; as long as you have power, you can get whatever you want. Women of the Demon Clan inherently have no status, so pleasing men is naturally reasonable.

However, those direct lineage members of the Purple Demon Family, who initially echoed to change the Clan Leader’s decision, felt their faces burning.

This slap had left them somewhat disoriented; initially believing Ye Fan was avoiding the battle because he feared Zi Tianmo’s power, now Ye Fan had slapped them in the face with his actions.

To defeat Zi Tianmo with just a bowl of wine, this kind of strength, this kind of method, was simply unheard of!

"Ah..."

Zi Tianmo completely lost his rationality, his eyes turning as black as black holes, fiercely lunging at Ye Fan.

"Roar!"

Zi Tianmo roared, mountains and rivers crumbled, insanely brave, with purple hair like flames, his pale hands resembling Ghost Claw.

Ye Fan also let out a long shout, shaking many direct lineage members of the Purple Demon Family to the point of bleeding from their ears and temporarily losing their hearing.

"Clang clang..."

Their fists and feet collided, making sounds like clashing metal, from the ground to mid-air, had there not been dense runes here, the area would have been destroyed already.

Even then, some distant mountains and houses suffered, collapsing in succession, with the Void punched through by the two continuously.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan utilized the Death Qi, his body like a Purple Diamond, radiating dazzling Divine Radiance, punching out with the force splitting the heavens, directly shattering Zi Tianmo’s fist.

The violent Death Qi with intense corrosiveness corroded Zi Tianmo’s forearm into liquid, making sizzling sounds with a strange stench.

"Ah!!"

Zi Tianmo went mad, raising his hand to sever his right arm, avoiding the death energy infiltrating his heart meridian, showing the decisiveness of a warrior cutting his wrist.

However—

In Ye Fan’s hands, no matter how decisive he was, it made no difference, because the gap between the two was too great.

Ye Fan’s figure was like a dragon, unleashing pure Death Aura with each punch having earth-shattering power, almost capable of penetrating the world’s barrier.

"Boom!"

Their bodies both erupted with dazzling light, and in the eyes of the crowd, only two fiery lights were seen fiercely colliding, making it impossible to see how they exchanged blows.

Only veteran strong people like Zixiao Yu could barely see their movements.

Zixiao Yu was shocked beyond measure; initially, he thought Ye Fan must have learned advanced martial arts and secret techniques, but now it seemed Ye Fan was like a blank sheet, completely relying on his pure Death Aura to suppress Zi Tianmo!

Such a genius could be called a demon!

He couldn’t imagine, if Ye Fan learned advanced martial arts and secret techniques, what level his combat power would reach!
