Best Young Master

Chapter 1945: Chapter 1810: A Tree Standing Out in the Forest

A man’s promise is worth a thousand gold!

At this moment, Ye Fan was filled with boundless heroic spirit, like a Heavenly Emperor descending, overlooking the world and gazing down upon all beings.

"Brother Ye, whether in life or death, Zi Huan will stay by your side, fighting alongside you until the very end, never leaving!"

Tears glistened in Zi Huan’s eyes, and her heart was filled with deep emotion as she walked step by step towards Ye Fan.

In her gaze, love was as surging as the tide.

At this moment, she felt she was the happiest woman in the world!

Death?

Ye Fan laughed!

"I will not die!"

Ye Fan’s voice was like metal striking stone, ringing with power. His gaze was cold and firm, carrying the momentum of freezing thousands of miles and swallowing the vast world.

Zi Huan’s eyes sparkled with brilliance, her heart full of happiness.

In her eyes, Ye Fan’s image became even grander, like a towering mountain, giving her an unparalleled sense of security.

"His martial arts will is so strong, as if invincible!"

"Swallowing the miles and sweeping the world, such a powerful aura is said only to exist in legends, isn’t it?"

Feeling Ye Fan’s invincible aura that dared to challenge the world, many onlookers expressed their amazement, completely shocked by Ye Fan’s momentum.

"His martial arts will is like divine gold, unshakable. This young man will undoubtedly have a bright future. The small Demon World cannot contain him; his future will be the vast cosmos..."

The Ancient Demon King nodded silently, intrigued by how such an outstanding heir could be cultivated in a small Purple Demon Family.

It seems the Purple Demon Family has significant potential and must not be cut off from their heritage, or it would be a huge loss for the entire Demon World.

"This person cannot be left alive..."

A glimmer of ferocity flashed in Xingtian’s eyes as he muttered to himself, sensing a great threat.

Ye Fan’s aura was too strong, unsettling him — if Ye Fan wasn’t eliminated, he would surely become a stumbling block on his path to cultivation, or even his Heart Demon. He could not allow such a thing to happen.

"The tree that stands out in the forest is sure to be toppled by the wind!"

A sinister smile appeared on Xingtian’s face.

"The evaluation continues, those who are finished can return, the results will be communicated to you by a designated person."

On the platform, a mighty elder spoke, his voice like a lion’s roar, echoing throughout every corner of the square.

"Let’s go, we should just wait for the news back home!"

Someone sighed and shook their head as they left the square, clearly having little hope of successfully advancing.

Where there is a first, there will be a second, and then a third...

Soon, more than half of those who had finished their evaluations had left the square, making it appear much emptier.

"Kid, just you wait. The day the selection ends is the day you meet your death!"

A strong member of the Mo Family threatened Ye Fan viciously as he departed.

Mo Yang was the Mo Family’s future star, yet died tragically at Ye Fan’s hands, filling him with unrelenting rage.

If not for the City Lord’s intervention, he would have killed Ye Fan in the cruelest manner just now, avenging Mo Yang and his brothers.

But now, he had to suppress his overwhelming anger and burning hatred, and wait for a few days.

He had no intention of risking his own life for Ye Fan.

In his view, Ye Fan’s life was far less valuable than his own.

"Wishes are beautiful, but you’ll never realize them!"

Ye Fan responded with a lukewarm remark, nearly causing him to cough up blood in anger.

"Fine, fine, fine, let’s see how long you can boast!"

The Mo Family strongman, furious, threw out a harsh parting remark and hurriedly left.

He had no choice but to go; if he stayed any longer, he feared he would be directly angered to death by Ye Fan.

"Let’s go too!"

Ye Fan smiled indifferently, walking towards the outside of the square, completely unconcerned with the murderous gazes behind him.

After the competition, he was set to leave this world, so there was no need to care about anything!

Two days later...

Within the Xingtian’s family, inside a garden in the Heavenly Treasure Palace.

Birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, death aura lingered like water, strange stones stood, spring water tinkled, all exuding an air of harmony!

"Tomorrow’s competition, I’ll arrange for you to be in the same group as him. Make him kneel down and beg like a dog in front of everyone, can you do it?"

Xingtian sat in a soft chair, holding a skull-shaped cup, sipping leisurely, looking composed.

"Young Master Xing, rest assured!"

Beside Xingtian, Mosi’s eyes shot out venomous rays. The humiliation of publicly kneeling and admitting fault was like a venomous serpent constantly gnawing at his heart, making him eager to finish Ye Fan off with his fists.

"Very good!"

Xingtian drank the wine from his cup in one gulp, his eyes shooting out two sharp beams of light as he coldly said: "Don’t kill him for now, just destroy his cultivation. I want to toy with his woman in front of him, let him watch without even being able to die!"

As he continued, Xingtian’s voice turned cold and vicious, like the screech of a night owl or the wailing of an Evil Ghost, sending chills down the spine.

"Hehehe..."

Mosi let out a ghostly dry laugh, licking his lips: "Zi named, in the competition, I’ll let you know what it means to wish for death! I truly hope the competition starts soon, I can hardly wait any longer."

He didn’t ask Xingtian how he managed to arrange for himself and Ye Fan to be in the same group, because there was simply no need.

It was not a difficult task for Xingtian to arrange for him and Ye Fan to be in the same group.

Those in power in Ancient Demon City, except for the City Lord, Ancient Demon King, are intricately linked to the Ten Great Families.

Some people even came from the Ten Great Families.

And the Xing Family coincidentally has a Supreme Elder working beside the Ancient Demon King, although not in charge of allocating contestants, it’s easy to manipulate things a bit.

"Everything is destined!"

Xingtian looked at the empty glass, murmuring softly.

Over ten thousand surviving contestants, after three days of assessment, the top one hundred were finally selected.

Ye Fan was among them and received a notification to gather at the Heavenly Demon Platform before sunrise tomorrow morning for the first round of the competition.

No one dares to question anything!

Because, this was the result of the City Lord’s personal assessment; questioning would mean distrust in the City Lord’s evaluation.

The authority of the City Lord is indisputable, no one dares to touch this bad luck.

...

The next day.

At dawn, a deep horn sounded long and mournful, as if a war horn awakened Ancient Demon City from its slumber.

Every contestant who received the notification got up, some with clansmen accompanying them, some alone, all heading to gather at the Heavenly Demon Platform.

The Heavenly Demon Platform is an eternally ancient battle platform in Ancient Demon City, and no one knows how many millennia it has existed, seemingly older than the city’s history.

On the Heavenly Demon Platform, it’s cold and hard, filled with a strong aura of warfare, even if one hasn’t stepped onto it, they can sense the atmosphere of brutal battles of the past.

The entire Heavenly Demon Platform is carved from an unknown meteorite, vast and imposing, as if telling the sorrow of the Demon Clan geniuses who fought on it since ancient times.

On the Heavenly Demon Platform are mysterious runes, shining like brilliant stars in the galaxy.

It’s precisely these runes that never allowed this ancient battle platform to be destroyed; even the Ancient Demon King fought on it without causing any damage.

When Ye Fan arrived at the Heavenly Demon Platform accompanied by Zi Huan, many were already present, and others were arriving one after another.

The strongest heirs of the Ten Great Families occupied favorable positions at the forefront.

Each of them emitted a sharp aura, like a sword being drawn, filled with killing intent.

No one dared to approach within three meters of them, as if it was a forbidden area.

Unfortunately, there were only nine from the Ten Great Families present; the strongest heir of the Han Family, Han Zhan Tian, could never appear.

Seeing Ye Fan’s arrival, many spontaneously made way for him, allowing him to smoothly reach the forefront alongside the strongest heirs of the Ten Great Families.

The reason is simple!

Ye Fan is a fearless, fierce man, daring to offend even the Xing Family, the Third Family. In their hearts, they’ve long regarded him as a deadly beast.

Not to mention, in the Demon Beast Forest, he alone killed countless contestants. His iron-willed mentality and unparalleled strength are beyond their reach.

The moment Ye Fan appeared, he sensed several gazes filled with killing intent directed at him, yet he didn’t mind at all.

To not be envied is to be mediocre!

So many people want to kill him, which precisely proves his extraordinariness and strength.

Soon, everyone arrived, and a hundred young strong individuals quietly waited beneath the Heavenly Demon Platform for their unknown fate, each emitting powerful war intent.

What awaits them will be brutal battles concerning their destiny, they must adjust their state to the best, strongest condition to face the battles.

"Very well, you’re all punctual, now we begin the grouping, step forward when your name is called."

On the stone platform, a mighty elder appeared, with a voice like a lion’s roar, fiercely scanning the crowd, and said expressionlessly.

"You are all the elite of the elite among the younger generation in the Demon World, but we only select the ten strongest, so strive hard, young men."

With a calm voice, the silhouette of the Ancient Demon King appeared on the Heavenly Demon Platform, surveying the crowd with a faint smile, then sat on a chair to the side.

Ye Fan was surprised because he saw that there was a chair covered with soft demon beast skin at the main position on the Heavenly Demon Platform, yet the Ancient Demon King didn’t sit there.

Could it be that the Judges from the Upper Realm are coming?

Not only Ye Fan, but others also noticed this scene, all shocked.

The Judges from the Upper Realm!

To them, that was synonymous with mystery, no one had truly seen what the Judges from the Upper Realm look like.

"Chen Shaochong, Zhong You, Huang Tian, Ge Tianhao..."

While everyone was shocked, the mighty elder started reading from a list he held.

Soon, nine people stepped out from the crowd and stood behind the strongest heir of the Ninth Family, the Mu Family’s Mu Tianhe.

The mighty elder glanced at the ten people and then continued to read: "Ma Mingde, Ye Fan, Long Tianxiang, You Shaocong, Mosi..."

"Heh heh..."

Seeing himself indeed grouped with Ye Fan, Mosi licked his lips, laughing cruelly.

"Surname Zi, we are truly enemies meeting on a narrow road, didn’t think you’d expect this, huh?"

Mosi’s voice was grim and venomous, like an Evil Ghost demanding life.

"If it’s destined to rain or a mother destined to marry, if you want to die, I’ll send you off!"

Ye Fan’s expression was calm.
