Gao Wu: I became the minor villain that the protagonist was about to destroy.

Alarm bells rang in Li Fantian's mind as the shadow of death instantly loomed over him. He forcefully twisted his body as he flew backward, his feet surging with spiritual energy, carving two deep furrows in the ground before he managed to regain his footing.

He dared not hold back or be arrogant any longer. With a sharp shout, the gray umbrella that had been hovering behind him instantly flew to the top of his head, and the umbrella unfolded completely with a "whoosh".

In an instant, the figure of a giant wild boar, about 20 meters tall, materialized behind Li Fantian.

A dense, almost tangible, purplish-black destructive intent cascaded down the umbrella like a waterfall, firmly protecting his entire body. At the tip of the umbrella ribs, an extreme point of destructive black light condensed.

The wild boar roared to the sky, its scarlet pupils flashing in the air. Li Fantian closed the gray umbrella, and a dense aura of destruction gathered at the tip of the umbrella along the ribs. Facing Ye Ming's blow, he thrust it out with all his might.

At this moment, the wild boar's phantom moved silently. As the tip of the umbrella pierced out, its body suddenly rushed forward, like a stampede of ten thousand elephants, moving forward without hesitation!

In that instant, Ye Ming's staff, imbued with all his power and will, crashed down!

"Thump—!!!!"

This time, the sound of the collision was so deep it seemed to resonate in everyone's hearts! Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Crimson and black lightning and the intent of the staff intertwined around the black dragon phantom, frantically attacking the wild boar carrying the intent of destruction. The clash between the two "intents" reached a fever pitch, emitting a piercing and teeth-grinding friction and annihilation sound.

"Sizzle—!!!"

For a time, the two sides were deadlocked, and the spiritual energy in Ye Ming's body and Li Fantian's body were being consumed exponentially.

Ye Ming's arm muscles bulged to their limit, the scales clearly visible, and his head slightly protruding. Staring at Li Fantian, who was only 2 meters away, his mocking words fell like heavy hammer blows:

"What's wrong?! Aren't you the boss of everything?!"

Where has your arrogance gone?

"I won't allow anyone to be more awesome than me!"

With each word Ye Ming spoke, his aura grew more violent, the black dragon phantom became more solid, his body expanded continuously, transforming into a half-dragon human form, the lightning on his body intensified, and the blue light of his aura became more brilliant and pure!

"This is truly unexpected; you actually possess dual characteristics! I admit that you can indeed contend with me right now! But! That doesn't give you the right to be arrogant in front of me!!"

"Vicious Stomach - Open!"

Li Fantian's spiritual energy surged instantly, a vortex of energy rising upwards, and his body unleashed an even greater surge of energy. Under the combined strain of their battle, the earth, unable to bear the weight, continued to sink and bulge outwards. At the moment when their two fierce auras reached their peak...

The next instant, a devastating light engulfed everything.

"boom--!!!"

Smoke billowed up, obscuring the view inside. Chaotic spiritual energy raged around the area, making it impossible for spiritual senses to probe the situation.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of meters, only the Chu Clan headquarters remained intact, while the surrounding terrain was a complete mess, resembling a desolate wasteland.

Lie and the others flashed and appeared beside Huashan.

"How did it go? Did the student council president win?!"

Hua Shan shook his head and said, "I can't tell."

Leng Ruoxue looked at Li Wuyou: "Elder Li..."

"Don't worry, my disciple is not in any danger."

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, everyone was able to gradually see the situation inside. They saw that Ye Ming's upper clothes had long since disappeared, leaving only his tattered trousers. He was holding a spiked club in his right hand, supporting his body to prevent himself from falling.

At this moment, Ye Ming felt an unprecedented exhaustion. The fact that he could remain conscious was entirely due to his own tenacious will. There was almost no intact skin on his body, but his injuries were healing rapidly.

Meanwhile, Li Fantian's situation wasn't much better.

He struggled to sit up; his casual clothes were tattered and covered in dust and blood, his hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly wretched.

But when he looked up, the horror and anger in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a cold, almost inhuman calm, with two dark flames flickering deep within.

"Good...very good..." Li Fantian's voice was hoarse, but unusually clear.

"Ye Ming... I admit, I underestimated you. At the third level of the City Realm, you can comprehend 'Intent' and even force me to this point... Looking at all the opponents I've encountered, you are truly unique."

"If it weren't for my magical artifact protecting me, I'm afraid I would have been even more seriously injured by that attack just now."

"You cannot be allowed to live today! Your presence is far too dangerous!!"

Li Fantian suddenly inhaled, and the spiritual energy in the air was drawn into his spiritual sea like a storm.

With the help of psychic energy, the wounds on his body gradually healed.

Li Fantian stretched out his right hand, and the gray umbrella planted in the distance was summoned and flew directly towards Li Fantian, intending to kill Ye Ming right there.

Just then, Li Fantian suddenly felt as if he were being targeted by some ancient ferocious beast.

"who!"

Ye Ming's lips curled up slightly: "You're a little late."

The sound of footsteps, "clack clack," slowly drifted from afar.

"This is the first time I've seen you so disheveled. Has your purity dropped?"

"Tch, why don't you do it? If it were you, you would have been begging for mercy by now."

Li Fantian looked at the man in front of him, who was wearing a black vest, had wild red hair, and a fierce, wild nature.

If he hadn't been so badly injured, he wouldn't have been afraid of someone who was only at the first level of the City Realm, but it was clear that the man in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing that things were not going well, Ouyang Jing, who was watching from the sidelines, flashed to Li Fantian's side and disappeared from the spot with him.

Yujiro had no interest in hunting such prey.

Seeing that the battle was over, Ye Ming's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Yujiro inhaled deeply the lingering aura around him, his expression gradually turning somewhat distorted: "A long-lost aura."

He then grabbed Ye Ming and walked forward.

Leng Ruoxue and Ji Wubai took Ye Ming from Yujiro and laid him flat on the ground. Li Wuyou stepped forward to examine him.

"It's nothing, I just overdid it a bit, it's not a big problem."

As he spoke, he channeled a mysterious power into his right hand.

"The Way of Heavenly Pivot - Blessings for All Things".

Ye Ming's body was instantly enveloped in a layer of green life force, and his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, Ye Ming's injuries were completely healed, as if he had never fought at all.

After a short while, Ye Ming slowly opened his eyes and looked at the familiar faces: "How long have I been asleep?"

Ji Wubai replied, "Emmm... 3 minutes, I guess."
