Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 317 No Challenge
When Wang Teng arrived, there were only a few people in the God King's Palace, including the God King, Fairy Caixia, Ye Fan's senior brother Lu Hao, and the awakened Ye Fan.

"Awake?" Wang Teng asked.

"Yes, he's awake." Ye Fan smiled.

He looks to be in great shape right now, with his eyes still full of charisma and his face brimming with vitality. If Wang Teng didn't know that the wounds of the Great Dao wouldn't heal so quickly, he probably would have thought that Ye Fan had fully recovered.

"How are you feeling?" Wang Teng asked.

"It's alright. Apart from the injuries on my avenue, I don't feel uncomfortable at all." Ye Fan smiled nonchalantly.

He had been awake for some time, and under the care of the God King, he had accepted the fact that although he had successfully broken through, he was left with scars on his Great Dao.

"Don't worry too much. It's just a scar on the Great Dao. It's not like there's no way to fix it." Wang Teng nodded.

Ye Fan seemed to be in relatively good condition. Although he knew he had been injured and had Dao scars in his body, he did not become depressed or even self-pitying and give up on himself. Therefore, there was still a chance for everything to turn around.

"Yes, no problem." Ye Fan appeared very nonchalant.

"Doctor Wang will be back in a couple of days. We'll see if Ye Fan's injuries have improved then," the God King said.

He has done enough for Ye Fan these past few days, using the heart's blood of the God King and the Divine Prelude to cleanse the wounds on Ye Fan's Great Dao origin time and time again, which has temporarily halted the damage to the Great Dao.

It's fair to say that without the intervention of the God King, Ye Fan's current condition would be even worse.

However, the God King's actions were merely a temporary fix, and Ye Fan's condition remained dire.

Even if he does nothing, the wounds of his origin will still be there, and if he insists on cultivating, the wounds of his origin will still be touched.

"Senior God King has done more than enough for me. If it weren't for Senior God King, I wouldn't have reached this point. I might have been obliterated by the Heavenly Dao Diagram that fell from the sky after the Heavenly Tribulation ended. How could I have survived to this day?"

Ye Fan was filled with gratitude as he faced the God King.

He encountered many crises along the way, and among those who helped him in his most difficult moments was the God King. In addition, the God King passed on the Holy Fighting Technique to him, so Ye Fan was filled with gratitude towards the God King.

"As long as there is a chance, never give up. I was trapped in Zishan for so long back then, who could have imagined that I would see the light of day again after thousands of years? As long as there is a glimmer of hope, never give up!"

The God King used himself as an example to urge and remind Ye Fan not to give up.

Ye Fan nodded heavily.

Now that Ye Fan has awakened and is in much better condition, the God King sent Wang Teng over to try again to see if he could use the power of time reversal to help Ye Fan erase some of his original injuries.

Wang Teng and the God King worked together to rewind time and space multiple times, trying to help Ye Fan erase more of the Great Dao scars on his body. However, after repeating this several times, they found that they could do nothing more.

"We've done all we can. These Dao-related injuries on your body can only be healed by yourself now," Wang Teng said, reminding Ye Fan.

In the following days, rumors continued to circulate in the holy city.

However, this rumor did not last long, because Ye Fan emerged from seclusion after waking up.

The Holy Body reappeared in the Holy City, attracting the attention of many.

Those holy sons who had previously eagerly anticipated a battle against the Holy Body did not find themselves easily defeated. They were all instructed by their respective holy lords not to be the first to act, but to simply wait and see how things unfolded.

However, this also led to the fact that when Ye Fan appeared in the Holy City, not a single person came to challenge him for several days.

"To be honest, this is not what I expected. I thought that as soon as I came out of seclusion, there would be a lot of people lining up to challenge me." Ye Fan said casually as he reunited with old friends in the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Among those present were many figures of the Holy Son level, including the Holy Son of Yao Guang and the Divine Body of the Ji Family. They had originally hoped that Ye Fan could fight against him at the same level after his breakthrough, but now that Ye Fan was right in front of them, none of them mentioned it again.

"It's a pity that little brat Xia Jiuyou isn't here, otherwise the Holy City would definitely be very lively," Li Heishui said with a smile.

"Xia Jiuyou? Little brat?" Ye Fan was unaware of what had happened. He had been fully focused on his cultivation that day and was oblivious to what was going on outside, so he was quite confused when he heard Li Heishui say this.

"It's understandable that you don't know, since you were cultivating at the time. Xia Jiuyou was that teenage girl who kept clamoring for you to be her servant. She was actually just a little girl who had been hiding her identity and gender. However, Qi Hao saw through her true identity, and a few words from him angered Xia Jiuyou so much that she wanted to challenge Qi Hao to a duel. In the end, she was forcibly dragged away by her protector."

Tu Fei spoke with a smile.

Then he and Li Heishui put on a show for Ye Fan, demonstrating how Qi Hao had made Xia Jiuyou so angry.

After roughly understanding the whole story, Ye Fan's expression was quite interesting.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Qi Hao's words were indeed a huge blow to a young girl, so it was no surprise that Xia Jiuyou wanted to fight Qi Hao to the death.

However, to Ye Fan's surprise, Qi Hao's combat strength was also so strong. He casually set up array patterns in the void and blocked Xia Jiuyou's attack.

This level of strength is already very impressive. Not only is its realm comparable to that of a Saint Son, but its combat power is also firmly among the ranks of Saint Sons.

"Tch! She's just a greenhorn, trying to act all high and mighty like everyone else. She got angry after just a couple of sentences."

Qi Hao chuckled lightly, his words filled with disdain.

Only he has the right to look down on others.

However, Ye Fan's expression was still somewhat strange, because he finally realized why everyone present seemed to be hiding a faint mist or wearing clothes made of special items. It turned out that they were trying to avoid Qi Hao's spying.

"Ha, vulgar people, why would I be so bored as to spy on you?" Qi Hao snorted.

Surprisingly, no one present was angry, because the strength Qi Hao displayed truly matched his arrogance.

The ability to inscribe array patterns in the void is not something that ordinary people can possess; at least, only those who have mastered array patterns have the opportunity to master this ability.

Previously, Qi Hao had never demonstrated this ability.

Throughout the entire banquet, not a single person mentioned the battle against the Holy Body at the same level. Ye Fan accepted this neglect from the group with pleasure.

However, after the banquet ended, Jiang Yifei still called out to Ye Fan.

"Xiao Tingting heard about what happened to you. She's very worried about you and wanted to come to the Holy City, but she was persuaded not to. If you have time, I hope you can visit the Jiang family to see her," Jiang Yifei said sincerely.
