296: Chapter 295: Glad You Met Me at Such a Young Age 296: Chapter 295: Glad You Met Me at Such a Young Age “To be fair, your archery skills are indeed decent, but your ability to adapt on the fly is much lacking.
You could break the King Yama Sword Formation of Hellfire, so why are you helpless against the countless ghosts within the sword array?
Don’t tell me you don’t know how to use the Ghost-Controlling Arrow to break it?”
Record Holder Li said to Huo Mengyao with deep disappointment.
Haha, this Record Holder Li is simply too adorable!
Watching Huo Mengyao being questioned on the spot and struggling for words, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel immensely satisfied.
Actually, he was also clear about the Ghost-Controlling Arrow.
In the “Compendium of Talisman Spells,” there was a detailed explanation specifically about the Ghost-Controlling Talisman.
Plainly speaking, it involves enhancing a specially crafted arrowhead with a Ghost-Controlling Talisman, thus creating what is known as the Ghost-Controlling Arrow.
This kind of Ghost-Controlling Arrow often has an immediate effect on evil spirits.
At this moment, Huo Mengyao defended herself, “I…
I didn’t expect him to be so cunning and actually use Hellfire’s peerless martial arts…”
“So what you mean is, the reason you weren’t prepared with the Ghost-Controlling Arrow is that you didn’t anticipate his cunning?” Record Holder Li kept shaking his head, “Girl, it’s clear to see, your awareness of crisis is not strong enough.
If today you had faced not him, but a disciple of Hellfire, wouldn’t you have been easily captured?”
Huo Mengyao had no words in response.
“What now, still not convinced enough to admit defeat?” Record Holder Li said.
“I admit defeat.” Despite Huo Mengyao’s reluctance, she could only swallow her pride.
Only then did Record Holder Li give a signal to the referee who understood, and the referee announced Ye Haochuan’s victory on the spot again.
This time, with Record Holder Li’s clarification, the many disciples below the arena no longer had any objections, almost everyone looked at Ye Haochuan with admiration.
Especially Guan Qiang and Qin Wei, who were so frustrated they could have turned blue.
Originally, as long as Ye Haochuan did not challenge Junior Sister Huo, she would have solidly remained the top ranked on the leader board.
But now, the tables had turned, and the Black Bat had made a comeback to secure the first position, gaining the rich rewards for himself.
At this moment, the electronic display screen above Arena No.
2 began updating the leaderboard, the name at the first rank now read “Black Bat,” while the former first rank “Fairy Yao” automatically dropped to second place.
Seeing his alias at the top of the leaderboard, Ye Haochuan was extremely thrilled.
He was well aware that his victory tonight came primarily because he had one surprise move after another, which his opponent had not anticipated or prepared for.
However, the next challenge would not be as lucky, his emergence as a dark horse was bound to draw attention from others.
Just then, Record Holder Li suddenly turned to him with a smile and said, “Young man, not bad, quite practical.”
Ye Haochuan already quite liked Record Holder Li and chuckled, “Thanks for the praise.
I’m just practical, nothing else is my weakness.
Hello Record Holder Li, I’m Black Bat, and I’m pleased that someone as young as you recognizes me.”
Upon hearing this, Record Holder Li laughed heartily, this kid’s cheekiness was indeed something else, and he was utterly amusing when he spoke.
“You, my boy, with that mouth of yours, one day, I see you matching ten thousand disciples of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.” Shaking his head, Record Holder Li’s figure gradually faded, turning into a ghostly shadow and finally disappearing completely.
Ye Haochuan stared dumbfounded, damn, just like that he’s gone?
Record Holder Li’s cultivation is too incredible!
It must be at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Still in shock, the arena referee suddenly spoke, urging him to release Fairy Yao.
Ye Haochuan then withdrew the King Yama Sword Formation.
Once freed, Huo Mengyao glared at him angrily and said, “You damn bat, today was just your luck, next time you won’t be so lucky.”
After speaking, she went straight to the prize distribution area at Arena No.
2, collected the silver case awarded for the second rank on the leaderboard, and left the arena.
Watching Huo Mengyao swaying away, Ye Haochuan smiled and shook his head, tutting, still thinking about a next time?
Next time, my lord will directly take you down.
Referee, one question, who exactly was Record Holder Li just now?
He seemed quite impressive.”
“Our Record Holder Li is called Li Lishu, a high-level expert at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, how could he not be impressive?” the referee said with a face full of respect.
Ye Haochuan gave an acknowledgment and etched it into his memory.
At that moment, the judge gestured grandly, and instantly, a golden box designated for the first-place winner from the ranking list, as if held by invisible hands, slowly flew into his grasp.
“Black Bat Junior Brother, this is your reward, take it,” the judge handed the golden box to Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan felt a shiver of excitement, the golden box was exquisitely crafted and would be worth at least a million in the secular world.
He was surprised that the arena would so generously present it as a prize.
However, upon reflection, he realized that in the Martial Arts Path Realm, the items of greatest value were Pills and treasures—what was a golden box worth in comparison?
When Ye Haochuan took the box and opened it, he immediately burst into laughter.
Inside, aside from a white pill bottle, what caught the eye the most was a pair of War Boots that looked similar to sports shoes from the secular world.
The War Boots, finely crafted and of superior quality, shimmered with flowing light, clearly not mortal grade.
“These War Boots are a superior Talisman Instrument.
Once worn, your speed will greatly increase.
The speed of Qin Wei and Fairy Yao during your previous skirmishes were due to this item,” the judge explained.
Then Ye Haochuan, realizing their value, couldn’t help but take out the War Boots eagerly and then performed the Blood Droplet Refinement ritual on them before putting them on.
As soon as he wore them, he immediately felt as light as a feather and couldn’t help running around the arena.
Indeed, his speed had more than doubled.
“What a fantastic item, truly fantastic!”
Ye Haochuan was overjoyed.
Now, even if he encountered an unbeatable expert, he could at least run away swiftly.
To him, fleeing was nothing shameful; those who knew they couldn’t win but still stubbornly fought were simply foolish.
At this point, Ye Haochuan remembered the white pill bottle in the golden box and hastily asked about its contents.
The judge said, “This pill bottle is enhanced with a storage talisman, containing thousands of pills including Qi Condensing Pills, Fasting Pills, Blood Coagulation Pills, and Bone Tempering Pills.”
He had struck it rich!
Thrilled beyond words, Ye Haochuan didn’t say much else and stored the pill bottle in his storage ring.
“By the way, didn’t you say I still have three chances to draw lots?” Ye Haochuan suddenly asked.
The judge nodded affirmatively and said, “Follow me.”
Then, Ye Haochuan followed the judge off of Arena No.
“Little brother.” An Li, who was waiting below, greeted him joyously.
Seeing her intimately beautiful face so close, Ye Haochuan was ecstatic beyond words.
He tightly held An Li’s hand, grinned cheekily, and said, “How about that?
Feeling the heat and trembling from his palm, An Li felt a warmth surge through her and, ignoring the many envious glances around, leaned in to give him a kiss, giggling coquettishly, “This kiss is also part of the rewards.”
“Haha!” Ye Haochuan laughed joyously, winking and said, “This reward is too common, I want you…
hehe, you know what I mean.”
An Li gave him a sideways glance, pouting, “I give you my heart and soul, and yet, it makes me so sad to hear you speak !”
Damn, she made it sound like I’m the worst.
Ye Haochuan was somewhat speechless and said, “Brother gives you his heart and soul too, isn’t that more heartbreaking?”
“Stop it!” An Li blushed, huffed, and turned her head away.
Seeing her act contrary to her words, Ye Haochuan laughed heartily, patted her hand, and said, “Come on, let’s draw lots and see what big prize we can win.”
