Chapter 288: 0287 Ye Zi’s Opponent

I never expected Du Ying to be such an odd character.

Meng Chong was a seasoned figure in the Jianghu, well-versed in its affairs. The information he provided about Du Ying was generally credible, which further validated the importance of Du Ying in Ye Qiu’s mind—indeed, he was no ordinary person.

"Ye younger brother, why are you interested in him? Could it be that you’ve taken a liking to his disciple?" Meng Chong said with a smile.

Ye Qiu was at a loss for words and said, "Brother Meng, please stop teasing me. I don’t know many people in the martial world, but I’ve heard of the ’Southern Demon’ many times, so I wanted to understand more about him."

He naturally would not mention his previous encounter with Du Ying. Otherwise, given Meng Chong’s personality, he would certainly leave no stone unturned in his questioning.

Ye Qiu steered the conversation away from Du Ying and began to inquire about the masters attending this martial arts tournament, especially the ones that were receiving a lot of attention.

"If we talk about this martial arts tournament between the north and south, setting aside the Ten Owls, just the newcomers who have risen in the past three years alone are quite a few." When Meng Chong spoke of such matters in the martial world, he was clear and fluent, speaking with an unending flow.

Like in the southern martial world, Chen Taiji of the Chen family, with his Tai Chi, has made the seniors in the martial world fear his prowess, truly a martial arts prodigy of his generation.

Then there’s Wang Shuisheng of the Lu Nan Wang family, hailed as the first person capable of chasing the Wang family’s ancestral glory.

Jian Wushuang, with his Unmatched Sword, has built a mighty reputation and is a hot figure in the martial world, with the potential to sweep the world with his sword.

...

The young talents introduced by Meng Chong were direct threats to the status of the Ten Owls. This showed that the newcomers in the past few years were extraordinary, with very powerful backgrounds.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, there’s one more person," Meng Chong said with a laugh.

"Brother Meng, why are you looking at me so strangely? Are you trying to say something?" Ye Qiu touched his face, wondering if there was something on it.

Meng Chong chuckled, "Ye Qiu, younger brother, among these rising talents, naturally, you are also one of the genius figures."

"Brother Meng, you flatter me." Ye Qiu didn’t expect Meng Chong to count him, Ye Qiu, as someone who could threaten the Ten Owls.

"Younger brother Ye, don’t be modest. I know something of your strength, and you fully deserve it. Moreover, looking at you now, your aura seems much more solid than before, most likely you’ve made another breakthrough in your martial path," Meng Chong assessed Ye Qiu and said.

Ye Qiu did not deny it and Meng Chong revealed a trace of envy. After reaching the True Qi realm, advancing further was as hard as ascending to the heavens, with every step being a challenge.

However, reaching new realms in martial arts was not something one could achieve by simply wanting to. It couldn’t be replicated—each person’s breakthrough was a result of their insights and accumulated experiences, leading to a qualitative change and breakthrough. It was not a given that just because Ye Qiu had reached a new level, Meng Chong could break through easily as well. Perhaps it was quite possible that Meng Chong might remain stuck at his current realm, unable to breakthrough.

"Brother Meng, who are the figures among the Ten Owls? I’ve only encountered Li Futu and Ma Kunqing. As for the other members of the Ten Owls, I haven’t had the chance to meet them," Ye Qiu said.

Meng Chong seriously said, "How do you rate the strengths of these two people?"

"They’re both masters," was Ye Qiu’s brief and clear answer.

"Ma Kunqing ranks last among the Ten Owls, and Li Futu is in the ninth place. You should have a rough understanding of their skills. The rest of the Ten Owls are naturally each more formidable than the last," Meng Chong said. Those individuals were beyond even Meng Chong’s capability, especially the top five were monsters among monsters.

"The one who clinched the first rank among the Ten Owls, Huangfu Jun, is the undisputed king."

"The second Owl, Luo Tie."

"The third Owl, Feng Jian."

"The fourth Owl, Sun Ziyan."

"Fifth, Meng Pengxiao."

Ye Qiu memorized these five names; standing out among all the young Martial Artists, one could imagine how dazzling they were.

A gleam shone in Ye Qiu’s eyes—if he sparred with these experts, it could hugely benefit his breakthrough.

In the Martial Arts world, there were hundreds of styles, each with their own strengths. Ye Qiu excelled at absorbing these strengths to enhance his own power.

Seeing the eagerness in Ye Qiu’s gaze, Meng Chong was stunned for a moment. Indeed, Ye Qiu feared nothing, and the top five Owls didn’t seem to intimidate him at all. He truly was someone without any taboos.

Meng Chong naturally couldn’t compete for a spot among the Ten Owls anymore, given his slightly older age. Ye Qiu, however, had plenty of time to catch up with the genius Martial Artists within the Ten Owls.

Meng Chong admired Ye Qiu’s spirit, lost in thought as he looked at him. When had his own edge faded so much?

Meanwhile, Ye Zi landed a punch squarely on her opponent’s chest, knocking the man off the platform, which immediately drew cheers from many in the crowd.

Ye Zi’s movement was clean and decisive, something she truly learned well from Du Ying.

The man who lost to Ye Zi took a long time to get up, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Defeated by a woman, and in front of so many people—he had lost face completely. Unable to stay any longer, he slinked away through the crowd, leaving the summit in disgrace.

With her victory, Ye Zi’s gaze was cold as if she were an ethereal fairy from the ninth heaven, her aura both distant and close at the same time.

Honestly, Ye Zi’s strength was that of an expert, barring the appearance of True Qi realm fighters who would pose no threat to her.

Ye Zi stood on the platform, waiting for her next challenger, the last one. If she managed to defeat ten opponents in a row, she would automatically proceed to the next round.

After a while, when it seemed that no one would challenge Ye Zi for the tenth match, a man in a green robe suddenly floated onto the platform.

A face with distinct features, radiating a faint, proud aura, appeared on the platform. All eyes immediately turned his way.

"It seems this guy is strong; this is going to be a good show."

"Yeah, although I quite like this girl, after all, this is a martial arts battle. Having a girl win ten matches in a row would make us men lose face. If she continues to win, it would be unbearable!"

Beneath the platform, some of the onlooking crowd began to discuss amongst themselves.

Huh?

Ye Qiu’s attention was piqued; naturally, he noticed Ye Zi winning several matches. But the sudden appearance of the man in green robes caused him to blink in surprise.

That person is him!

Ye Qiu found the green robe somewhat familiar; it was the man who came to trouble him earlier. Had it not been for his strength being only at the Force realm, he would indeed have been a troublesome opponent.

He was very strong, and Ye Qiu felt somewhat worried for Ye Zi. This man in green robes, named Qin Lang, was definitely a tough bone for Ye Zi to chew.

"Let’s see how much you’ve learned from your master," Ye Qiu thought to himself as he watched Ye Zi.
