Open up and break into another world

Xu Ming's battle with Zhang Youtian had concluded; however, the discussions about Xu Ming below the arena persisted for a long time.

"Stick God" Li Helin even chased after "Sun-Chasing Spear" Wang Chao, incessantly nagging: "This is what you call barely passable talent? Your talent, Wang Chao, is certainly not barely passable, so tell me, what realm were you at fifteen? Comparable to the ninth level of迭浪(Die Lang)? Comparable to the third level of迭浪(Die Lang)? — You're trash!"

Wang Chao was scolded so badly that he couldn't even lift his head, yet he was powerless to argue. When he was fifteen, he couldn't even hold a spear steady!

"Damn it!" Wang Chao could only curse resentfully.

Wang Chao had traveled the world with his spear, dominating the Desolate Sect region, and had even earned the prestigious title of "Sun-Chasing Spear." But he never expected that today, in the way of the spear, he would be humiliated by a fifteen-year-old kid.

Unknowingly, Wang Chao's gaze towards Xu Ming carried a hint of hatred.

However, Wang Chao didn't consider that Xu Ming had never intended to humiliate him. In fact, Xu Ming didn't even know about Wang Chao's behind-the-scenes comments and evaluations of him.

To say that Xu Ming humiliated Wang Chao?

Then it could only be said that Xu Ming had no intention of slapping his face; it was he himself who insisted on bringing his face over.

When Xu Ming walked down the arena, only seven exclusive seats remained. The owners of the other fifty-seven seats had been moved to the corner, along with their chairs, due to their defeat.

Throughout the entire battle between Xu Ming and Zhang Youtian, Ye Qianliu watched calmly. Although he was quite surprised by the strength Xu Ming displayed, he was not at all alarmed, as if Xu Ming's strength was not worth his attention.

"Somewhat interesting!" Ye Qianliu smiled disdainfully.

And Lin Xuan, who was ranked first in last year's sect competition, merely commented faintly: "It's somewhat interesting! In three to five years, he has the potential to reach my current realm!"

Lin Xuan's realm was so high that it could be described as "heaven-defying." Even some Core Forging realm elders were not as high as him!

"Next battle, Ye Qianliu versus Wang Yibo!"

Ye Qianliu stepped onto the stage calmly.

His opponent, Wang Yibo, had a bitter face—to him, this battle was completely about going on stage to be abused, so of course he was bitter.

"Senior Brother Ye, please be merciful!" Wang Yibo said with a flattering smile.

"It's easy to say, just go ahead and attack!"

After Wang Yibo went on stage, he unleashed all the powerful moves he had learned this year, just to show the sect elders his progress; then, he voluntarily admitted defeat and went down.

When Ye Qianliu left the stage, he glanced at Xu Ming provocatively; "I really didn't expect that we could actually meet in the sect competition; and it's even in the semi-finals! You really exceeded my expectations! — But that's fine, you bullied my brother because of your good cultivation, this debt should also be settled!"

"I bullied your brother?" Xu Ming could only chuckle.

Xu Ming, such a "simple and kind" person, has always adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me," so how could he possibly take the initiative to bully others?

On the contrary, Ye Qianjue tried to distort the facts and deliberately wanted to teach Xu Ming a lesson from the start; in the end, he failed to teach him a lesson and was instead defeated by Xu Ming with a single look.

Seeing Ye Qianliu and his brother being equally arrogant, domineering, and distorting right and wrong, Xu Ming could only sigh secretly: "Are the disciples of the Desolate Sect, especially those of the Liang lineage, so fond of being unreasonable?"

Since they don't reason… then I'll just have to use my fists!

"Ye Qianliu? I want to see what abilities he has that even Zhang Youtian, who is also in the Domain Realm, is so afraid of him!"

… …

After the other two battles, the semi-finals of the sect competition officially began!

The first group to take the stage, of course, was Xu Ming and Ye Qianliu.

"Xu Ming, you bullied my brother, I'm going to settle this debt with you now! I hope that later, you can fight me like a man, instead of admitting defeat and running away!"

Faced with Ye Qianliu's provocation, Xu Ming only said three words: "Wanna bet?"

Ye Qianliu didn't hear Xu Ming's words clearly, and continued: "I advise you not to even think about admitting defeat, you can hide for a while but you can't hide forever, if you dare to admit defeat and not let me teach you a good lesson; next time I catch you, it won't be as simple as teaching you a lesson!"

Xu Ming repeated: "Wanna bet?"

Bet?

Ye Qianliu was stunned, and then he came back to his senses, but he seemed to have heard something unbelievable: "You want to bet with me?"

It was precisely because he felt that this was unbelievable that Ye Qianliu didn't hear Xu Ming when he said it softly twice in a row just now; or rather, he heard it, but didn't react.

"Just say whether you dare to bet! The loser will leave behind the sect competition prize, plus twenty thousand low-grade Mysterious Stones!" Xu Ming said.

Ye Qianliu looked at Xu Ming like an idiot: "You want to give me the sect competition prize, and twenty thousand low-grade Mysterious Stones?"

After thinking about it, Ye Qianliu suddenly understood: "I know, you want to use these as compensation for my brother, right? The sincerity is indeed there, I'm very satisfied — How about this, later you let me teach you a good lesson, and then according to what my brother said, release Jia Sanduo and kowtow ten times to apologize; this matter will be considered over, I won't bother with you."

Xu Ming couldn't bear it any longer and cursed: "Ye Qianliu, are you stupid? I'm just asking you, wanna bet, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Ye Qianliu was stunned.

Perhaps he was really stupid from cultivating, or perhaps he couldn't believe that Xu Ming dared to roar at him like this. After a long while, Ye Qianliu stammered: "Bet! Bet…"

The newest novels are at six/9/shu/ba/dot/com first!

"If you bet, then hurry up and start, why is there so much nagging!" Xu Ming cursed again.

The onlookers were all stunned.

"I didn't see it wrong, did I? Just now, Xu Ming seemed to be deliberately provoking Ye Qianliu!"

"If you didn't see it wrong, then I didn't see it wrong either!"

"Not only provoking, but also a big bet!"

"It is indeed a big bet… not to mention the twenty thousand low-grade Mysterious Stones, the sect competition prize for the loser of this battle is also amazing!"

The loser of this battle will enter the ranking battle for third and fourth place in the next round. The prize for third place is a True Martial Breakthrough Pill; the prize for fourth place is a high-grade treasure!

A True Martial Breakthrough Pill or a high-grade treasure, plus twenty thousand low-grade Mysterious Stones, is indeed a big bet!

"Where did Xu Ming get the confidence to bet against Ye Qianliu? Does he think he has too many Mysterious Stones and treasures, and they're burning his hands?"

"That's a bit premature, isn't it? In Xu Ming's previous battles, who among us was optimistic about him? But in every battle, Xu Ming won cleanly and neatly! This time, Xu Ming took the initiative to propose a bet, would he not have any confidence at all? So in this battle, I think the winner will definitely be — Ye Qianliu!"

"Damn it, you're talking nonsense!"

… …

At this time, Ye Qianliu, whose brain was several beats slower, finally sorted out his thoughts — Xu Ming was provoking him!

"You think you can win against me?"

"You'll know once we fight!" Xu Ming sneered.

"Naive! Ignorant!" Ye Qianliu didn't expect that he would be provoked and despised by Xu Ming, "Do you think you're invincible just because you won against Zhang Youtian? Hmph — what is Zhang Youtian's Domain Realm even worth? I'll let you see what a real Domain Realm is like!"

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a light purple spherical domain rose around Ye Qianliu.

"I'll let you see what a real perfect domain is!"

Under Ye Qianliu's control, the light purple spherical domain continued to expand, until it expanded to a range of nine zhang (30 meters in diameter) before stopping.

Even though Xu Ming and Ye Qianliu were standing far apart on the stage, the nine zhang range of the domain almost directly enveloped Xu Ming.
