Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 614 - 355 Ye Feng Appears, Stunning Everyone_2

"But this Ice Armor, from start to finish, withstood five punches, seven kicks, and three elbow strikes, yet it doesn’t have a single crack."

"In conclusion, there’s only one possibility, that this isn’t merely a superpower, but some kind of defensive martial arts technique, and it must perfectly complement the Ice Superpower."

The statement from the researcher immediately sparked an even greater buzz of discussion.

Although the price of martial arts techniques is expensive, an ordinary person could still afford them with a loan, yet few people would do so.

The reason is simple, that is, cultivation is too difficult.

Because whether it’s martial arts techniques or secret techniques, to truly unleash their power, one needs to reach above the Seventh Order, using Rule Power.

Even if some martial arts techniques are relatively easy to master, most still require reaching the Fifth or Sixth Order to begin.

But now, Ye Rou is only at the Second Stage, yet she has successfully mastered a martial art.

While it might be possible due to Ye Rou’s extremely high compatibility with this martial art, it also requires tremendous talent to achieve this.

Calling her a genius is by no means an exaggeration.

Therefore, many people wanted to find out more about Ye Rou.

But they soon discovered, unlike other competitors, there was very little information available about Ye Rou, as if it had been deliberately erased.

However, the more mysterious she appeared, the more people became interested in her.

Quickly, among nearly 10,000 competitors, Ye Rou’s popularity surprisingly surged into the top 50.

Ye Feng wasn’t aware of these matters, and, of course, had no interest in learning about them.

After confirming that Ye Rou’s mental state wouldn’t suffer from any psychological shadows after her first real fight today, he continued to comprehend the power of rules.

Time flew by quickly, and almost an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.

It was almost time for the competitors of the Third Order to start their matches.

Ye Feng’s phone vibrated, he picked it up and sure enough, it was the information about the match, and he was scheduled to be in the first batch to compete on the arena.

"I’ll be right back," Ye Feng stood up and said.

"Son, you can do it!"

"Big Pot, go for it!"

Smiling at his family, who were cheering him on, Ye Feng said, "You can cheer for me later, it’s not my turn yet."

Hearing this, the others were momentarily stunned, but before they could ask any questions, Ye Feng had already left.

After leaving the private room, Ye Feng quickly made his way to the backstage of the venue, where the competitors were preparing.

Of course, in addition to the competitors, there were also a considerable number of journalists and photographers present.

Some of the popular competitors are followed by the media from the moment they start preparing.

The footage here goes directly to the live broadcast of the event on Yang City’s television station.

Actually, Ye Rou’s popularity was quite good earlier, but unfortunately, the staff thought it was very likely that she would be eliminated in the first round, so they didn’t pay much attention and went off to interview another popular competitor instead.

But it was different when Ye Feng arrived, as his information had been posted on the official website last night, officially recognized as a leading contender for the national competition’s first place.

So when he appeared backstage, several reporters immediately surrounded him.

And leading the pack was Du Gulan, a journalist who had become quite familiar with Ye Feng.

Of course, Du Gulan didn’t recognize Ye Feng’s human persona, but that didn’t dampen the warmth in her expression.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Feng, you’ve been labeled as Yang City’s number one talent by the officials, do you have anything to say about that?" Du Gulan asked.

"The evaluation is quite fair," Ye Feng answered.

Du Gulan was momentarily taken aback, was this man so arrogant?

But the other journalists were gleaming with excitement; this was exactly the kind of answer they were looking for, a topic ripe for controversy.

"Hello, I am a reporter from Sunshine Daily, may I ask if you feel confident about advancing through the preliminaries and entering the finals?" another journalist inquired.

"That’s inevitable," Ye Feng replied.

"Hello, may I ask what superpower you possess?"

"You’ll find out soon enough."

"Hello..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I’m almost out of time, can you let me through first?" Ye Feng interrupted the group of incessant reporters, quickly making his way through the crowd.

Although the reporters still had many questions they wanted to ask, they didn’t dare to truly obstruct Ye Feng.

Otherwise, they would definitely be escorted out by the staff here, under the pretext of hindering a contestant.

Even though the interview was brief, the topic had already become incredibly sensational.

The television station might not have been aware yet, but in the live streaming room, the chat exploded instantly.

"Holy shit, is this guy that arrogant? Called the number 1 talent and he actually says the evaluation is pretty fair."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! The actual combat hasn’t even started yet and he’s already certain he will pass the preliminary round. If he fails later on, it’s going to be hilarious."

"I have the same feeling; way too arrogant. Even if his talent is really strong, actual combat and talent are not the same. He might get nervous and perform poorly, getting eliminated in the first round."

Many of the online comments were displeased with Ye Feng’s display of "arrogance."

But would Ye Feng care? Definitely not.

If your strength isn’t enough, no matter how humble you are, you’ll still be looked down upon.

But if your strength is sufficient, even if you’re a bit over the top, you’ll be seen as having character.

Having passed those reporters, Ye Feng quickly arrived at a device for testing realms.

This was a mandatory procedure before participating in the competition. If a contestant had a breakthrough to a Big Realm, then they would be matched against others based on the new level of strength after the breakthrough.

And those who came here aimed to pass the preliminaries to join the finals, thus there wasn’t anyone who had broken through to a Big Realm yet; they would all try to remain at the Realm Summit.

After all, in the same realm, early stage contestants facing those at the summit would be at a great disadvantage, and no rational person would choose to do that.

So when the staff member saw Ye Feng’s player card, even before the machine finished scanning, he ticked it off, ready to hand it back to Ye Feng.

However, when he caught a glimpse of Ye Feng’s realm on the machine from the corner of his eye, his brain suddenly felt like it had crashed.

This staff member, of course, recognized Ye Feng.

The number one talent, the hot favorite from Yang City.

So he was very clear about Ye Feng’s information: just a week ago, the guy was only at the Third Order Peak.

But what was he seeing now?

Fifth Order Peak!!!

This meant the contestant had astonishingly broken through two Big Realms in just a short week.

At that moment, Ye Feng also felt surprised himself. He was only at the Late Stage of Fourth Order; even if this machine, like last time, couldn’t measure accurately, shouldn’t it be at the Late Stage of Fifth Order? How did it reach the Peak?

Soon, he figured it out: this had to be the result of the "Thunderbolt Divine Body" effect. Moreover, the further he cultivated, the greater the gap would become between his body and those of the same realm.

Ye Feng felt that once he completed the fourth layer of the Thunderbolt Divine Body, perhaps he could surpass two Big Realms and possess the physical qualities of a Sixth Order.

At this moment, the scene of Ye Feng testing his strength was captured by a reporter who followed behind.

In his livestream, the criticisms previously leveled at Ye Feng paused instantly.

The next moment, an even greater flurry of comments burst forth.

"Holy shit, is this for real? I haven’t even broken through a Minor Boundary in a week, but he’s just jumped two Big Realms, how did he do it?"

"Isn’t my life even worse? I got the Cultivation Technique half a month ago, and I’m barely sensing the Spiritual Energy, still not even an Evolutionist."

"Haha, look at that staff member, he seems so dumbfounded, now he’s adjusting the machine, looks like he’s going to retest."

"The test result is out, still Fifth Order Peak. Could it be that in another week, he will reach Sixth Order Peak and catch up with Chen Dalong and the rest?"

"Really impressive, although he hasn’t fought and his combat strength is unknown, his cultivation talent is undeniable. Truly deserving as Yang City’s number one talent."

Once again, Ye Feng became a hot topic that surged on social media.
