Invincible starts with predatory terms

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick with Yang Tian, they saw a huge arena, similar to the one Yang Fan had seen in Ascension City.

However, this one was much larger.

Yang Tian, noticing Yang Fan's expression, asked, "What's wrong? Junior Brother Yang."

Yang Fan snapped back to reality and quickly replied, "It's nothing, I just find this arena a bit familiar."

Familiar? Yang Tian pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Do you think it looks similar to the arena in Ascension City?"

Yang Fan was taken aback, then asked, "What? Senior Brother Yang Tian knows about it too?"

Yang Tian chuckled and said, "I also came in through Ascension City, of course I know."

Then he added, "When I first came here, I was naturally surprised, this arena is indeed very similar to that one, but I later learned more about it. Did you know that this arena and the one in Ascension City are of the same origin?"

Of the same origin? This wasn't the first time Yang Fan had heard this term. Yang Fan knew what it meant; his Immortal Slaughtering Sword, Trapping Immortal Sword, and Heaven Punishing Sword were of the same origin.

But he didn't expect that arenas could also have things of the same origin?

Just as Yang Fan was puzzled, he heard Yang Tian continue, "These two arenas are called the Twin Yin-Yang Platforms. The smaller one is the 'child' platform, which is the one in Ascension City, and the larger one is the 'mother' platform, which is the one here in our Divine Firmament Palace."

So that's how it is, Yang Fan suddenly understood that these two had such a history.

Yang Tian continued, "Back then, the Lord of Ascension City and our Divine Firmament Palace Master, who is also our master, were close friends. He brought these two arenas from some unknown place. Because Ascension City wasn't big enough, it could only accommodate the smaller one, so he gave the larger one to our master."

So that's how it was, Yang Fan now understood.

Afterward, they landed on the stands surrounding the arena. As they walked, Yang Tian introduced the history of the arena to Yang Fan.

Along the way, many senior and junior brothers greeted Yang Tian, their expressions and attitudes exceptionally respectful.

It seemed that Yang Tian had great prestige among the many disciples of the Divine Firmament Palace, Yang Fan thought to himself.

Then, the two arrived at a stand closest to the arena. At this moment, two disciples were sparring on the arena. One disciple wielded two large hammers, swinging them with imposing force, spiritual energy pressure flying everywhere.

The other used a celestial sword, his swordsmanship was superb, each sword flower danced, kinetic energy creating a vortex of spiritual energy, the two fought back and forth, putting on a truly wonderful display.

Yang Tian, however, exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Brother Tuoba? I didn't expect him to participate in the arena battle, that's really strange."

Then Yang Tian said to Yang Fan, "See that one using the double hammers? His name is Tuoba Quan, he's one of the top ten disciples in our Divine Firmament Palace. He's also an oddity, in our Divine Firmament Palace where almost everyone uses swords, he uses double hammers, and he's even made a name for himself with them. He was also accepted as a disciple by the Pavilion Master of the Weapon Refining Pavilion, and his combat strength is enough to rank him in the top ten of our Divine Firmament Palace."

Hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel admiration for that Senior Brother Tuoba. In a sect where everyone used swords, he alone used double hammers and was able to reach his current position; he was a hero.

Then he heard Yang Tian continue, "This Tuoba Quan possesses innate divine strength, he is a truly well-deserved genius. You must get along well with him when you meet him in the future."

Yang Fan nodded, "That's natural."

But the victor, Tuoba Quan, didn't show any pride. He landed on the ground and walked towards the side where his opponent was sitting.

That opponent had a bitter smile on his face, but suddenly a hand appeared in front of him. Looking up, it was Tuoba Quan.

Tuoba Quan had a smile on his face as he extended his hand and said, "Junior Brother, victory and defeat are common in military affairs. With more practice, I will accept sparring at any time."

Hearing his words, the disciple was stunned for a moment, and then the bitterness in his heart disappeared without a trace. He reached out and grabbed Tuoba Quan's hand, stood up, and bowed to Tuoba Quan, saying, "Senior Brother Tuoba's strength is formidable, and his character is truly admirable. I am sincerely convinced by my loss to Senior Brother Tuoba."

Seeing this scene, Yang Fan's understanding of Tuoba Quan deepened.

At this time, Tuoba Quan seemed to have noticed Yang Tian and quickly broke away from the crowd to come before Yang Tian, cupping his fist and saying, "Senior Brother Yang, I didn't expect you to be here."

Yang Fan saw that Tuoba Quan had actually come specifically to greet Yang Tian, and his respect for Yang Tian increased in his heart. After all, being able to have a figure like Tuoba Quan personally come to greet him showed how outstanding Yang Tian's strength and personal charm were.

Faced with Tuoba Quan's greeting, Yang Tian smiled faintly and then said to Tuoba Quan, "I brought the master's newly accepted disciple to visit the Divine Firmament Palace. I didn't expect to see Junior Brother Tuoba at this arena. And I see that Junior Brother Tuoba's Gengjin Hammers seem to have improved again. We can have a good spar someday."

Hearing these words, Tuoba Quan quickly cupped his hands again and said, "How can my meager skills compare to Senior Brother Yang Tian? But if Senior Brother Yang Tian's hands get itchy one day, I can accompany Senior Brother Yang Tian for a spar and be his sandbag."

After these words were spoken, both Yang Tian and Tuoba Quan laughed heartily.

Then, Tuoba Quan looked at Yang Fan. From the previous words, he knew that Yang Fan was the Divine Firmament Palace Master's newly accepted disciple, so he quickly said to Yang Fan, "I am Tuoba Quan, I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Yang Fan displaying great power in the Six Regions War. Seeing you today, you are indeed heroic and talented. No wonder Senior Shenxiaozi accepted you as a disciple."

Hearing these words, Yang Fan quickly waved his hand and said, "Where, where, I am just a minor cultivator from a remote place, I dare not compare with Senior Brother Tuoba. Just now, I saw that Senior Brother Tuoba's strength is extremely powerful, and he is especially righteous, so I would like to befriend Senior Brother Tuoba. I wonder if I can have this opportunity?"

Tuoba Quan laughed and said, "Where, where, what are you talking about befriending or not? We are all disciples of the Divine Firmament Palace, so naturally we must unite and help each other. If you have anything in the sect in the future, feel free to come to me. If you want any magical artifacts, you can also come to the Weapon Refining Pavilion to find me, or even find my master if I am not there."

Hearing this, Yang Fan quickly cupped his hands to Senior Brother Tuoba and said, "Senior Brother is so generous and righteous, I can't be polite. If there is anything I can do to help Senior Brother in the future, Senior Brother can feel free to ask, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Tuoba Quan and Yang Tian exchanged glances and laughed, saying, "Junior Brother, there is no need to be so serious. We are ultimately disciples of the same sect, so naturally we must help each other. Not to mention that you are Senior Brother Yang Tian's junior brother, then you are my, Tuoba Quan's, junior brother. Senior Brother Yang Tian has done me a great favor!"
