Douluo Continent: Heavenly Mystery System

Chapter 15 The Epiphany After the Ultimate Showdown

"Bring out whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve," Ye Xiaofeng said coldly. He not only wanted to win the battle of moves, but also wanted to make Ah Xin admit defeat wholeheartedly.

"Sword God, if you can withstand this move, I will respect you from now on. Soul Skill - Man and Spear as One." Ah Xin seemed to merge into the Fire Dragon Spear. At this moment, he was the spear, and the spear was him.

"Sword God, take this!" Ah Xin shouted, and everyone was sweating for the Sword God.

"Azure Lotus Protection, Without a Trace" Ye Xiaofeng used his first and fourth soul skills in succession to defend.

Ah Xin broke through the Azure Lotus's protective barrier and thrust at Ye Xiaofeng. Although the attack was reduced by the Instant Trace technique, the spear still pierced through Ye Xiaofeng's chest.

Blood slowly trickled from Ye Xiaofeng's mouth. "You lost," A Xin said, having exhausted his soul skills.

"Is that so?" Ye Xiaofeng gripped the Fire Dragon Spear tightly with his left hand, while his right hand thrust the Seven Kill Sword toward Ah Xin's chest.

"How is this possible? How could you..." Ah Xin stared wide-eyed at Ye Xiaofeng, finding it hard to believe that the Sword God could still injure him despite his powerful attack.

"What exactly happened on the field?" Everyone in the stands who saw this scene didn't know who won or lost.

"How is that possible? The Sword God can still retain his strength under such a strong attack!" the host exclaimed.

"You won," Ashin said slowly, his clothes stained red with blood.

Both men drew their guns and swords simultaneously, and Ah Xin collapsed, exhausted. Ye Xiaofeng knew in his heart that he had also lost; Ah Xin hadn't truly accepted defeat.

"Match 10, The Uncrowned King – Sword God"

"Sword God! Sword God! Sword God!" All the spectators cheered after seeing this scene. It was absolutely amazing, and they believed it would soon spread throughout the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Are you alright?" Dai Mubai saw Ye Xiaofeng slowly walking off the battle stage and quickly went over to help him.

"This is not the time to talk, let's go back first." Ye Xiaofeng and the others returned to his room in the Soul Arena. The moment he entered the room, Ye Xiaofeng vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

"Brother Ye, how are you?" Dai Mubai quickly helped Ye Xiaofeng up.

"I'm fine, quickly close the door." The twins were startled by the scene and quickly ran over to close the door.

"Ah Xin's self-created soul skill was too powerful. I just need to rest for a bit. You guys go out first and don't let anyone in." Ye Xiaofeng was seriously injured, but he endured it until now.

"Okay, you rest first. Call me if you need anything, I'll be right at the door," Dai Mubai said as he led the twin sisters out.

"First Soul Skill - Blessing" Ye Xiaofeng sent Dai Mubai and the others away because he didn't want them to see his other martial soul.

Healed quickly thanks to the Jade Swan Martial Soul, but he is still a bit weak after 10 consecutive battles.

"That shot just now..." Ye Xiaofeng was immediately drawn into the memory of what had just happened, his mind constantly replaying Ah Xin's self-created soul skill, Man and Gun as One, and unknowingly entered a state of enlightenment.

"Young Master Dai, Young Master Ye has been inside for three days without making a sound. Could something have happened to him?"

"Young Master Dai, why don't we go in and take a look, just in case?"

Dai Mubai found their words reasonable. Three days had passed, and if they continued to wait and something unexpected happened, it would be a loss that would not outweigh the gains. He was sure that Brother Ye would not blame him.

After much deliberation, Dai Mubai slowly opened the door and entered. "Brother Ye, you..." Dai Mubai saw Ye Xiaofeng sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, motionless.

"Young Master Dai, Young Master Ye, he..."

"Shh,,,,"

Seeing Ye Xiaofeng like this, Dai Mubai thought for a long time and concluded that Ye Xiaofeng had entered a state of enlightenment, so he gestured for them not to disturb him.

"Brother Ye, you should have entered the state of enlightenment. It's truly a blessing in disguise," Dai Mubai exclaimed.

"Is sudden enlightenment really that amazing?" the twin sister asked, since neither of them were Soul Masters.

"Enlightenment is something every Soul Master dreams of; it's something you can only encounter once in your lifetime," Dai Mubai said with a sigh.

"Let's go outside and keep watch, so as not to disturb Brother Ye," Dai Mubai said, leading the two sisters outside.

"Young Master Dai, have you ever had an epiphany?"

"Is there even a need to explain? Young Master Dai must have had a sudden realization."

The two sisters chatted back and forth, but Dai Mubai felt a little awkward.

"I've already said that enlightenment is something you can only hope to encounter once in a while." Dai Mubai had cultivated to the level of Soul Master, but he had never experienced enlightenment.

"Young Master Dai, how long does it take for enlightenment to take?" the twin sisters continued to ask.

"The longer the natural enlightenment lasts, the better," Dai Mubai said helplessly. At this moment, the manager of the Great Soul Arena came over.

"Distinguished guest, hello. Could you please introduce me to the Sword God?" the manager said tactfully.

"Manager, I've already told the manager that the Sword God is injured and can't contact anyone for the time being. I'll let you know when his condition improves," Dai Mubai said calmly.

"If our esteemed guest requires medical treatment, the Great Soul Arena has healing-type Soul Masters who are willing to provide assistance free of charge."

The manager understood that the Sword God was very strong, and since Ah Xin valued strength above all else, it was even more important to befriend him.

"Not for now, but I still need to rent this house for a while. I hope the manager can agree." Dai Mubai spoke politely, after all, he was on someone else's turf.

"That's no problem at all. I can help you with any needs you may have," the manager said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll let you know when he wakes up." Dai Mubai wasn't curious how the manager knew his name; he figured the manager would find out if he looked it up carefully.

"Then we won't disturb Young Master Dai any longer. You can go and rest in the next room as well." Seeing that Dai Mubai was still guarding outside the door, the manager specially arranged for his subordinates to rest in the next room as well.

Four more days passed. In the afternoon, Ye Xiaofeng woke up from his epiphany. Dai Mubai and the others were still waiting outside. Just as Ye Xiaofeng was about to get out of bed, his body stiffened and he rolled off the bed.

Hearing the commotion inside, Dai Mubai and the others rushed in and saw Ye Xiaofeng lying on the ground.

"Brother Ye, are you alright?" Dai Mubai asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, just a leg cramp," Ye Xiaofeng said awkwardly as he got up.

"What time is it now?" Ye Xiaofeng felt like he had just woken up from a nap. Apart from feeling a little weak, he felt refreshed.

"Brother Ye, it's been 7 days since you entered the state of enlightenment," Dai Mubai said enviously. He had heard of some once-in-a-century geniuses who entered enlightenment, and their first enlightenment only took two or three days. But Ye Xiaofeng had been in it for a full 7 days. He was simply a prodigy.

These were the words from Xiao Bing of the Heavenly Mystery System, spoken again:

"Master, congratulations on entering the Enlightenment Realm for 7 days. This has exceeded the expectations of the Heavenly Mystery System. Therefore, you are hereby rewarded with the Eye of God and Demon."

Ye Xiaofeng's eyes instantly turned one gray and one green. The gray exuded endless destructive power, while the green emitted endless life energy.

"Ah!" Dai Mubai was instantly injured by Ye Xiaofeng's Eye of God and Demon and fell unconscious.

"Young Master Dai, what's wrong with Young Master Ye?"

The twin sisters had no idea what had happened.

"Don't touch him, let me see." Ye Xiaofeng saw that Dai Mubai was injured because of his eyes, so he quickly withdrew his Eye of God and Demon and silently activated the first soul skill of the Emerald Swan Martial Soul, Blessing, to heal Dai Mubai.

"What's wrong with me?" Dai Mubai regained consciousness under Ye Xiaofeng's treatment, but when he saw Ye Xiaofeng's eyes, he felt a sharp pain and fainted.

"You're probably just too tired lately. You'll be fine after a rest," Ye Xiaofeng brushed it off.

"Young Master Dai, you scared us to death!" The twins were almost in tears. Without Dai Mubai, their happy life had come to an end.

"Dear esteemed guest, hello, I am Luo Shaotian, the manager of the Soul Arena." After learning that Ye Xiaofeng had woken up, Luo Shaotian immediately put down his work and ran over.

"Hello, what brings you here, Manager Luo?" Ye Xiaofeng asked curiously when he saw Luo Shaotian approaching.

"This is a diamond badge from the Arena and two exclusive purple-gold cards from the Arena's money exchange. All your capital and winnings have been deposited into these cards. The gold soul coins are 189650 and 18096500 respectively."

"Thank you, Manager Luo."

Ye Xiaofeng smiled as he accepted the badge and two purple-gold cards. Luo Luoshaotian showed a look of heartache, but it was only for a moment, though Ye Xiaofeng still caught it.

"I wonder if you, Sword God, would be interested in joining the Imperial Soul Arena? If you are willing, we will provide you with all your soul rings for ten thousand years, and the quality will be top-notch." Luo Shaotian did not want to lose such a genius. If he joined the Soul Arena and was properly nurtured, perhaps a powerful attack-type Title Douluo would emerge from the Soul Arena in the future.

Ye Xiaofeng's amazing performance even impressed Luo Shaotian. He defeated A Xin, who was level 55, at level 41. A Xin's combat power was no less than that of an ordinary Soul Emperor. Ye Xiaofeng would only become stronger in the future.

"I'm sorry, Manager Luo, I'm used to being free and don't have that in mind for the time being." Ye Xiaofeng doesn't need a spirit ring. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now.

"Your Excellency may wish to consider this carefully. The doors of the Soul Arena are always open for you." Luo Shaotian did not want to lose such a genius.

Ye Xiaofeng said nothing more, changed clothes with Dai Mubai and the others, left the Great Soul Arena, and arrived at the Heaven and Earth Inn.

"Manager Li, a private room, bring out all the best food, and... go arrange it," Dai Mubai said to the manager, his words cryptic. Ye Xiaofeng didn't listen and went upstairs.

Manager Li gave a lewd smile, putting on an "I know" look, and Dai Mubai, with his arms around the twins, followed him upstairs.

"Brother Ye, we've struck it rich this time!" Dai Mubai suddenly received so much money.

"Indeed, I didn't expect that we would make the Soul Arena bleed so much this time," Ye Xiaofeng said with a smile, feeling particularly pleased.

"Young Master Dai, you promised us."

"Young Master Dai, you can look all you want, we're all your people anyway."

Dai Mubai was speechless at what the twin sisters said.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give each of you 10 gold coins, enough to ensure you'll live a life of comfort and ease," Dai Mubai said with a smile. The 10 gold coins were enough to make anyone's mouth water.

"Young Master Dai, we don't want money, we just want you to treat us well."

"Uh-huh"

The twin sisters felt that it was better for Dai Mubai to favor them; money was just an external thing, and with him around, they wouldn't lack money.

"I've already promised you the money, so naturally I won't shortchange you by a single penny, nor will I diminish my love for you. Make sure you have a good meal, as I have to work overtime tonight." Dai Mubai grinned lewdly. He had been waiting for Ye Xiaofeng for seven days and was almost going crazy.

"Young Master Dai, you're so annoying! Young Master Ye is still here!" The twin sister punched Dai Mubai.

"It's alright, you guys continue. But if you want a big fight, go back to your room. I can't stand you putting on a show in front of me," Ye Xiaofeng joked.

Ye Xiaofeng was even happier, because he had had an epiphany, gained a deeper understanding of swordsmanship, and unexpectedly obtained the Eye of Gods and Demons. He also had nearly 20 gold soul coins.

"Brother Ye, I want to transfer one million from my card to you. After all, I got it because of you." For Dai Mubai, Ye Xiaofeng was more worthy of his friendship. Money was just a number to him, a prince.
