ady starting to make demands."Gao Xiaogong pointed at Ye Bufan on the ground and said, "Actually, you can only blame this kid. It's him who keeps ruining my plans and messing things up. Otherwise, you...Ye Bufan suddenly had a thought and asked, "Elder, where did the Hongyuan Fruit come from Is there only one, or are there any other extra fruits"

According to his thoughts, if there were two Red Yuan Fruits, he wouldn't have to work so hard to compete. He could just take them and refine them into medicine.

"I know what you're thinking, but it's not that easy."

Zhang He shook his head, "If this thing were so easy to obtain, this old man wouldn't need to waste words, he would just hand it over to you."

"Speaking of this Red Yuan Fruit, it was something taken out by the three major sects together. It's still in the hands of those elders now. I haven't even seen it, let alone have the right to control it."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded, a flicker of disappointment crossing his face. It seemed he was back on the old path; he would have to win the competition.

Zhang He continued, "That Hongyuan Fruit is either a treasure of heaven and earth, or it was obtained by disciples of the three major sects when they explored the Tianluo State Secret Realm many years ago."

This thing is only one, although the three major sects have never used it, it's a closely guarded treasure.

This time, if it weren't for the Genius Monster Showdown, and the need to salvage some face, they probably wouldn't have been willing to offer this as a reward.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan immediately became excited again, because he had found the source of the Red Yuan Fruit, and he still had a chance to enter it.

According to ancient medical texts, these fruits typically grow beside the Spirit Nurturing Spring.

That means that if one were to enter the Heavenly Net Secret Realm, there would be a chance to find this kind of spring water that has a stronger nourishing effect on spiritual power.

Yang Shen Quan is quite unique. It's generally an underground spring and can't be seen on the surface at all.

Those unfamiliar with the ways of things are entirely captivated by the Red Yuan Fruit, completely oblivious to the even more precious spiritual spring hidden beneath it.

That is to say, even if he doesn't win first place and doesn't get the red Yuan Guo, as long as he enters the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, he will have a chance to find the Spirit Nourishing Spring and repair his injured Sea of Consciousness.

But that's just theoretical. Even if you enter the Tianluo Secret Realm, who knows if you can find the location of the Red Yuan Fruit

Therefore, the most urgent task is to quickly obtain the Hongyuan Fruit and refine it into a Bu Tian Dan.

Zhang He, however, didn't know any of this. Seeing him so excited, he immediately said: "The new player rankings are full of talented people. It's not easy to get first place."

I know you're hiding some of your strength, but the others aren't simple either. You haven't met a true strongman in the team battle...

Next, Zhang He introduced some of the opponents, emphasizing the formidable figures such as Prince Taobaye Yang, Princess Taobaye Shuang, Gadina, Haishenggong, and Liu Yijian.

He finally said, "I can only help you a little, and sometimes it's even inconvenient for me to lend a hand."

So you need to be mentally prepared, to get the Red Flame Fruit, it also depends on your own efforts.

"I know, thank you Grand Overseer. As long as I get the Red Yuan Fruit, I will definitely give you a Heaven-Repairing Pill."

Ye Bufan was already very satisfied with the result. As long as this old eunuch didn't cause him trouble, it would be fine. Besides, he had already helped out.

"Go back. Try not to leave the station unless it's necessary."

Zhang He waved his hand, then vanished from the spot instantly.

Yè Búfán brought Xiǎoqīng back to the station.

The three Zhengs from the Lingxiao Academy branch waited the entire night, until the sun rose the next day, but they still didn't receive any reply.

Zheng Yiheng asked: "Uncle Two, we still haven't received any news. Could something have happened"

Even if he didn't say anything, Zheng Wei knew something was wrong.

Normally, after the Mawang Shuangxiong succeeded, they would send a message outside the city to have someone bring the herbs over.

There has been no news yet, it must be a bad sign.

Zheng Long cursed angrily, "I didn't expect a kid from Tianfeng City to be so difficult to deal with!"

"The Mawangshan twins must have encountered some trouble, or that kid might have a powerful master by his side. It's very likely the woman from before."

Zheng Wei's expression was terrifyingly grim, "But what can that do Even if there are experts guarding him, they can't be by his side all the time."

"Speaking of which, he turned his head to look at Zheng Yiheng: 'Tell Liu Yijian that if he encounters Ye Bufan, he must cripple him for me!'"

"I got it, Second Uncle!"

Zheng Yiheng nodded and then walked out of the room.

Due to the incident yesterday, Zheng Wei is not allowed to go to the site today. He can only go by himself.

Ye Bufan spent a silent night and the next day, he led his companions back to the Royal Training Ground for the ranking competition.

Because today is the finals stage, the atmosphere on site seems even more heated than yesterday. In the center of the field, three temporary sword-testing platforms have been set up.

The competition was still hosted by Zhang He, who once again came to the top of the debate platform, announced today's rules, and officially began.

Today's individual matches are different from yesterday's team strategy, with thirty-six people divided into nine groups. Only the first place in each group is eligible to continue the next round of competition.

The drawing was random, just like yesterday. Everyone went up and touched a small orb enveloped in light.

Once everyone had finished drawing their lots, Zhang He waved his hand, and the orbs in everyone's hands revealed their true colors.

Ye Bufan got a white ball this time. Looking to the side, he was in a group with Liu Yijian, Zheng Yiheng, and Chu Lingxi.

A hint of a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth. It was clear that the old eunuch was helping him.

This group seems to have impressive strength, but given Zhang He's capabilities, he definitely senses the unusual connection between himself and Liu Yijian.

And as for Liu Yijian, Zheng Yiheng and Chu Lingxi posed no difficulty to themselves at all.

Others, however, remained unaware of this. They turned their questioning gazes towards this side, wanting to know just how strong this young man, who had never made a move before, truly was, and if he could pass this time around.

The most excited person was Zheng Yihe. He had originally worried that Liu Yi Jian and Ye Bufan wouldn't be drawn into the same group, after all, with this kind of draw, the probability of being drawn together is very small.

I didn't expect them to be paired up right from the start, what a coincidence.

After the competition began, the teams drew lots again. Ye Bufan was drawn against Chu Lingxi in the first match, while Liu Yijian and Zheng Yiheng were in the same group.

Chu Lingxi saw the results and didn't even bother going onto the sword platform, directly announcing her surrender on the spot.

No one was surprised by this result, after all, they all came from the same group. It's normal for them to concede defeat since they knew their own abilities weren't as strong.

After all, there's no need for teams to consume each other's strength. Other groups experience this as well.

That is to say, the competition hadn't even started before it ended, Ye Bufan winning a match.

Zheng Yihe strode onto the platform, glared fiercely in this direction, then turned to Liu Yijian opposite him.

"Senior Brother Liu, I've already told you what my second uncle said. Now let's pretend to spar a bit, then I'll concede. Afterward, I'll go all out against Ye Bufan."

Liu Yijian remained silent, raising his hand and striking a palm towards the man's chest.

In Zheng Yiheng's view, the other party must have accepted his opinion. He remained silent because he was afraid of revealing too much.

That's why he didn't even use half his strength, raising a fist to meet the attack.

According to his thoughts, Liu Yijian would probably just be going through the motions and wouldn't unleash his true strength.

Two people make a few gestures at each other, then one pretends to lose. It looks better this way.

After all, they are not from the same empire. If they concede directly, it would be easy to be criticized.

As soon as his fist connected with Liu Yijian's palm, his expression changed drastically. A powerful force surged over him, and the opponent showed no mercy whatsoever.

"You..."

Zheng Yiheng was both shocked and enraged, but before he could speak, Liu Yijian struck with a powerful palm, shattering his fist and slamming it against his chest.rry, I'm fine!" Si Tu Dian Mo turned his head to look at the young man and the bodyguards. "You just injured my elder, apologize quickly."The young man smiled slightly and waved his hand at the head b...
