"Big Brother Xu Fei was defeated so easily by this guy?"

"Is this guy a freak? Xu Fei’s strength is among the top in our East State Youth Generation!"

"No wonder this guy was challenged by Tie Xue, it seems he really has some skills."

"Better not speak carelessly, lest he targets us."

"Who would have thought that the West State, where martial arts are most backward, would produce such a young expert."

...

Within Fiery Flame City, the young men and women of East State looked at Xiao Ye with faces full of shock, whispering among themselves, no one dared to mock Xiao Ye anymore.

Especially those few youths who had previously charged at Xiao Ye, were scared pale, frozen in mid-air, not daring to approach.

"Let’s go, don’t cause any more trouble, or it will be very troublesome later."

The three elders leading Xiao Ye and others showed no surprise, glanced at Xiao Ye, and spoke softly.

Xiao Ye withdrew his gaze, leading Guo An’an, following the three elders flying towards the city.

"Haha, I thought the geniuses of East State were so powerful, but they’re actually so weak." The Green Dragon Four Brothers had mocking smiles on their faces, shaking their heads as they left.

They were indeed a bit disappointed.

They had originally thought that these young men and women from East State could cause Xiao Ye some trouble, but they were scared so quickly.

"Damn it!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The richly dressed youth Xu Fei, slapped away by Xiao Ye, his cheek swollen high, hair disheveled, emerged from the ruins of a pavilion, looking at Xiao Ye’s back with an extremely dark expression, eyes filled with flames of anger.

...

Fiery Flame City, as an ancient main city of East State, occupies a very vast area, capable of accommodating millions of people at once.

At a glance, the roads in front are crisscrossing and very wide, orderly and neat.

Perhaps because this place has become a gathering ground for geniuses heading to the True Martial Baptism Land, it’s been placed under martial law, so there aren’t many East State martial artists in the city, those occasionally seen all have powerful auras.

Among these martial artists, quite a few greeted the three elders, then looked curiously at Xiao Ye and others.

Clearly, the challenge of Xiao Ye by Tie Xue, the top youth of East State, had caused a stir in East State, attracting much interest.

"In previous years, the geniuses from the Three Great States residing here for the True Martial Baptism, you can find a place to rest as you please, tomorrow you’ll head to the True Martial Baptism Land."

"Also... remember what we elders said."

After one incense stick of time, the three elders brought Xiao Ye and others to a grand group of buildings within Fiery Flame City, left a sentence, then turned to leave.

Xiao Ye swept his gaze forward, finding that this grand group of buildings was quite simple, most were single courtyard mansions.

"Brother Xiao, tomorrow is the day to go to the True Martial Baptism Land, you better not make a move against East State’s geniuses again, lest you invite trouble and drag us down."

Green Dragon glanced at Xiao Ye, said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

After speaking, he led Vermilion Bird, Mystic Martial, and White Tiger, each choosing a mansion and flying inside.

"These four guys!" Xiao Ye shook his head.

He’s not a fool, naturally aware that although these four super geniuses chose to cease hostilities with him on the Plain Battlefield, they harbor no goodwill towards him!

At the moment, the other four geniuses, along with Guo An’an, chose their accommodations.

Notably, Guo An’an deliberately chose a mansion adjacent to Xiao Ye’s.

"The cracks on this Jade Talisman are increasing, I wonder how many days the True Martial Baptism will take to end."

"If, during the True Martial Baptism process, I’m sent out of the Ancient Era, I’ll cry."

Xiao Ye turned his palm, taking out the Jade Talisman given by the Heavenly Elder, looked down to see more cracks appearing, and frowned slightly.

"Forget it, it’s useless to worry now, better to focus on cultivation."

With this thought, Xiao Ye put the Jade Talisman away, then took out several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures emitting divine light from his Space Ring, consuming them one by one, refining with his Dominant Body.

Immediately, vast golden Blood Qi erupted, a layer of dazzling Golden Light enveloping his entire body.

Now his cultivation had just broken through recently, relying on the integration of four Emperor Martial Powers, his strength had entirely reached the level of an Invincible Title Emperor.

But the Dominator Body was far behind.

To make another big breakthrough, breaking the barrier of Invincible Title Emperor, becoming Ten Stars and beyond Title Emperor, unless the Fourth Layer of Dominator Body is Perfect.

But lacking those five main Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the difficulty for the Fourth Layer of Dominator Body to be Perfect is not small.

Now Xiao Ye can only pin his hopes on the Pure Yang Alliance.

Nightfall quickly enveloped Fiery Flame City.

Inside a rather exquisitely crafted palace.

"Big brother, you must avenge me, when has our Xu Family of East State suffered such a loss?"

The richly dressed youth Xu Fei, slapped away by Xiao Ye, was filled with bitterness, standing before a youth with seven or eight parts resemblance, loudly complaining.

"Hmph, foolish!"

"Do you think Tie Xue is a fool? If not for that Xiao Ye kid being strong, how could he challenge him?"

"You foolishly rushed in, now you’re injured, who can be blamed?"

That youth sat cross-legged, snorted coldly at the response, spoke.

"This..."

"Big brother..."

Xu Fei heard this, stunned, awkward.

"Forget it, go back for now, tomorrow head to the True Martial Baptism Land, don’t make extra trouble, once I obtain the True Martial Physique, I’ll naturally defeat Xiao Ye and then challenge Tie Xue."

"Tie Xue abandoning our East State’s geniuses yet choosing to challenge a kid from West State, has already annoyed many people in East State."

That youth spoke again, eyes flashing with wild flames.

"Yes, big brother!" Xu Fei delightedly responded.

Meanwhile, in another direction, atop a pavilion, a young figure stood, deep eyes watching a certain direction in Fiery Flame City.

There, strong golden Blood Qi swirled, like a True Dragon in hibernation.

"Xiao Ye... Tie Xue’s acknowledged opponent? Interesting."

This night, Fiery Flame City seemed calm, but an unseen undercurrent swept through.

Silent night.

When the first ray of dawn appeared —

"The True Martial Baptism Land is about to open, all geniuses participating in the True Martial Baptism, come quickly!" A deep voice, like thunder, resonated in Fiery Flame City, waking Xiao Ye, who opened his eyes, golden light receding.
