Conquer the game world

Chapter 117 Confidence?!
With its own lightning power, Ye Feng thought of his Thunderfire Killing skill. If this Thunder Spirit Sword had its own lightning power, it would be quite useful. Thinking of this, Ye Feng, who originally did not expect this low-grade earth-level sword reward, became excited.

Jiang Wuyai said with a smile, "This is the Thunder Spirit Sword that I collected a lot of materials to forge. The sword itself is made of a kind of thunder iron, which can absorb the power of lightning. Therefore, the Thunder Spirit Sword is also imbued with the power of lightning."

“However, this sword doesn’t contain much lightning iron, otherwise its grade would be more than just low-grade. Now this sword is of little use to me,” Jiang Wuyai continued.

In this world, the most commonly used weapon by martial artists is the sword. Although many martial artists use various other weapons, their numbers are far fewer than those who use swords.

Swords are characterized by their lightness and agility. In terms of pure strength, swords are not the strongest, and in terms of pure speed, swords may not be the strongest either. However, when both are combined, swords are the most comprehensive weapon. In addition, swordsmanship is a relatively simple weapon to master, which is why swordsmen are the most popular choice for martial artists.

After all, martial artists need to practice not only their weapons but also their martial arts techniques and skills. It's not worth wasting too much time on weapons. Therefore, the sword's comprehensive and easy-to-learn characteristics make it a sought-after weapon among martial artists.

Although Jiang Wuyai spoke casually, Ye Feng sensed the lightning power within the sword and understood that the materials used in the Thunder Spirit Sword were definitely not ordinary and must be extremely valuable.

In fact, weapons that reach the Earth-grade quality must be quite valuable. Otherwise, Ye Feng wouldn't only have one Xuan-grade Crimson Fire Sword. Earth-grade weapons are very precious. They are already rare, and once they are forged, they are naturally used by various families or powerful individuals. They rarely fall into the hands of others, so it can be said that you can't buy them even if you have money.

"Thank you, Sect Master," Ye Feng said politely. The Thunder Spirit Sword was just what Ye Feng needed, and if used well, it might even enhance his combat power again. Therefore, Ye Feng's thanks came from the bottom of his heart.

"You're welcome, this was originally your reward," Jiang Wuyai said with a hearty laugh.

Although Jiang Wuyai said that, Ye Feng understood that the reward Jiang Wuyai gave must be pretty good. Ye Feng had heard of Earth-level weapons before, and some of them were much worse than the Thunder Spirit Sword, and they didn't have any attributes of their own.

After all, his reward was only a low-grade sword, and it would have been reasonable for Jiang Wuyai to give him any random one. But now he's given him the Thunder Spirit Sword, a treasured sword that Jiang Wuyai has kept for many years. Clearly, Jiang Wuyai is treating him quite well.

At this moment, Jiang Wuyai continued, "Ye Feng, you got third place this time. According to the rules, you can challenge the top two. As long as you defeat them, you can take their place. Moreover, I think you will also want to aim for the second reward in the next three months."

Jiang Wuyai's words stirred Ye Feng's thoughts. Indeed, Ye Feng was very interested in the second reward. The Soul Nourishing Pill was very tempting to Ye Feng. Although Ye Feng would settle accounts with Yan Feng regardless of whether there was a reward or not, he naturally couldn't let go of this reward.

Ye Feng can now choose to challenge Yan Feng or Wu Lan; both are options for Ye Feng.

However, probably no one thought Ye Feng would choose to challenge Wu Lan. After all, Yan Feng was the number one. Having witnessed Ye Feng create so many miracles, these people naturally believed that Ye Feng could create even more miracles. Moreover, everyone knew that Ye Feng could obtain a Soul Nourishing Pill as long as he defeated Yan Feng. Therefore, no one doubted that Ye Feng would choose to challenge Yan Feng.

Yan Feng squinted at Ye Feng from the crowd. Yan Feng's face was still ashen, but now his gaze towards Ye Feng was icy and chilling.

Just moments ago, Yan Feng was determined to teach Ye Feng a lesson, but now it was Ye Feng who was challenging him first.

"That's good, saves me the trouble of coming to find you again," Yan Feng thought to himself.

"I choose Yan Feng." As expected, Ye Feng gave the answer that everyone had in mind.

Yan Feng, who has always held the number one ranking in the Yanluo Sect, is now facing a new generation of geniuses.

"Hmm, not bad." Jiang Wuyai said, squinting his eyes. "Then the time for your competition will be three months from now."

“No need, Sect Leader Jiang,” Ye Feng interrupted. “Three months is too long; I can’t wait.”

Yes, Ye Feng couldn't wait any longer. Yan Feng had been provoking him repeatedly, and Ye Feng had long wanted to teach him a lesson. How could he wait another three months for such a good opportunity?

"This Ye Feng is truly insane," the onlookers couldn't help but remark.

Although none of these disciples doubted that Ye Feng would choose to challenge Yan Feng, they did not expect that Ye Feng would dare to propose shortening the challenge time. This was too arrogant.

Although many disciples of the Yanluo Sect were optimistic about Ye Feng, what everyone admired was Ye Feng's incredible speed of improvement. However, given Yan Feng's strength, many still doubted that Ye Feng was currently no match for him. These disciples believed that Ye Feng would have a greater chance of winning after three more months of training.

However, at this moment, Ye Feng actually took the initiative to suggest shortening the time, feeling that three months was too long!

"Okay, then how about we set it for a month from now? What do you think of a month?" Jiang Wuyai asked.

Ye Feng thought for a moment and realized he did need to prepare. Yan Feng's ranking as a disciple indicated he had some strength, and he couldn't be careless. So Ye Feng nodded and said, "A month is fine." "Yan Feng, what do you think?" Jiang Wuyai turned to ask Yan Feng at this moment.

Yan Feng's face was grim and expressionless. He was extremely displeased. The way Jiang Wuyai and Ye Feng chatted seemed to completely ignore him. They were the ones challenging him, yet they treated him with complete disregard. In particular, Jiang Wuyai and Ye Feng had already happily agreed on something a month ago, and now they were only turning around to ask him a perfunctory question. This made Yan Feng very unhappy.

"Ye Feng, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish. A month will be enough," Yan Feng thought fiercely.

"Sect Master, I have a problem with this," Yan Feng said at this moment.

"Hmm? What is it that you can tell me?" Jiang Wuyai asked.

"Since so many disciples are looking forward to my battle with Junior Brother Ye Feng, why don't we change it to a real fight?" Yan Feng said calmly, but his words carried a sinister undertone.

"A real battle? Did I hear that right? Ye Feng has gone mad, and Yan Feng has gone mad too. Both of them are insane!" the disciples in the square exclaimed.

Real combat, as the name suggests, is a real battle. Yanluo Sect has a challenge room, but the difference is that the challenge room is just an illusion battle. In the illusion, even if you die, there will be no problem. But real combat is different. If you are not careful or your strength is insufficient, you will be crippled. Moreover, it is a formal competition, and you cannot complain.

This shows how risky real combat is; only someone with a lot of confidence would dare to participate in real combat.

At this point, it was clear to everyone that there must be a personal grudge between Yan Feng and Ye Feng, otherwise things wouldn't have escalated to this point. Since Yan Feng dared to bring it up, he must be very confident in himself and even intended to cripple Ye Feng.

"It looks like Yan Feng is going to take drastic measures. Ye Feng is in some danger."

"Yeah, if I were him, I wouldn't agree. This is a lifelong matter. If his meridians are destroyed, he'll be stuck as an ordinary person for the rest of his life." The disciples in the square discussed among themselves.

"Ye Feng, what do you think?" Yan Feng's request also surprised Jiang Wuyai slightly. However, this request required the agreement of both parties. In Jiang Wuyai's opinion, Ye Feng had no need to agree to such a request. After all, Ye Feng had a bright future, so why should he take such risks at this time?

Jiang Wuyai was just casually asking Ye Feng, and as long as Ye Feng refuted it, Jiang Wuyai would have a legitimate reason to refuse this request for actual combat.

However, when Jiang Wuyai looked at Ye Feng, he realized that this matter was probably unstoppable. What Jiang Wuyai felt from Ye Feng was an endless fighting spirit. Yes, Ye Feng's fighting spirit was even stronger than Yan Feng's. As a master at the soul level, Jiang Wuyai felt this most keenly. Therefore, Jiang Wuyai was certain that this battle could not be avoided.

"Yan Feng, I didn't expect you to be so willing to come and die. Then don't blame me." Ye Feng thought fiercely to himself. That's right, Ye Feng was very excited. He originally just wanted to teach Yan Feng a lesson at Yanluo Sect and settle other scores later. He didn't expect Yan Feng to deliver himself to his doorstep. Naturally, Ye Feng would not let him go.

“No problem, I agree.” Ye Feng replied, looking at Yan Feng with fierce fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Ye Feng actually agreed. They're both crazy, aren't they?"

"Great, this is going to be interesting."

"Sigh, Ye Feng is still not calm enough. He's been blinded by his emotions. Yan Feng is obviously very confident, and Ye Feng actually dared to agree."

"What do you know? Ye Feng should have been number one long ago. No matter how much Yan Feng resists, it's useless."

The disciples watching were discussing it animatedly, with many different opinions. Of course, they all had one thing in common: the anticipation for this martial arts competition had reached an unprecedented level.

"Alright then, your battle will be scheduled for one month from now, at the martial arts arena," Jiang Wuyai announced.

"A month, is that right? Perfect, I can start preparing. Ye Feng, you're dead this time." Yan Feng thought to himself, and readily agreed.

"A month, is that right? Perfect, I can consolidate my cultivation level. Yan Feng, don't blame me if you're going to your death." Ye Feng thought to himself, and readily agreed to the two of them.

Both had their own thoughts, and both were absolutely confident. The competition between the strongest warriors of Yanluo Sect, which would take place a month later, was thus decided amidst the smoke of battle.
