Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2299: Simply Arrived at the Perfect Time!

As for Ye Yixuan, Ye Haochuan still kept his guard up.

Especially after that battle with Ye Hechan, he’d felt just how extraordinary these two brothers of the Ye Family were. If Ye Hechan had so many trump cards, how much more would Ye Yixuan have?

Ye Yixuan’s opponent was also a cultivator at True Immortal Late Stage; even without talking about strength, just that level of cultivation already counted as remarkable.

But this Gong Bin didn’t last more than a few exchanges under Ye Yixuan’s hands before losing all combat ability beneath Ye Yixuan’s blood spear.

"To handle a cultivator of the same realm this easily—this guy’s strength really can’t be underestimated!" After watching that clean, decisive bout, Ye Haochuan became even more certain of his assessment of Ye Yixuan’s strength.

In the subsequent matches, Ye Haochuan got a preliminary taste of the true strength of the young talents from Myriad Ages Residence. Among them, aside from those who were just here to show their faces, most of them were stronger than Gu Dewei.

Gu Dewei’s strength was already top-tier in Myriad Realms Mansion. Yet everyone here had cultivated for far less time than him, and their strength still left him far behind; the gap between the two Mansion Territories was obvious.

The later fights of Tang Yucheng and Ju Yuqu had nothing much worth watching. Their opponents were all low-cultivation cultivators who’d come just to be seen; one lasted half a move, the other surrendered outright.

The entire first round of the tournament could generally be summed up in one word: boring. Only a few unlucky ones who ran into opponents of similar strength managed to put on a slightly more exciting show.

Of course, the biggest upset was Ye Haochuan.

Who would have thought that a True Immortal Early Stage cultivator, facing a famous name on the Qingfeng List, would actually win.

This luck was simply heaven-defying!

Yes, luck!

No one believed Ye Haochuan had beaten Tang An with real skill; in their eyes, this was all just a coincidence.

Below the stage, Tang An’s venomous gaze stayed locked on Ye Haochuan. If looks could kill, he would have already butchered Ye Haochuan a thousand, eight hundred times.

Three to four hundred people fighting one-on-one—though many surrendered midway, the bouts still dragged on for more than half a day.

The Temple’s South Sect clearly didn’t value this tournament as highly as everyone had expected. Even though it was only two or three in the afternoon, Chen Man directly announced that today’s matches were over, then disappeared from the center of the plaza together with the other two members of the South Sect.

The ones who lost had long since been thrown out of the plaza; those remaining inside were all the experts who’d advanced to the second round.

Because of the Temple’s deliberate arrangements, all the low-cultivation cultivators had been eliminated in the first round. The ones left were all True Immortal Late Stage experts, and among them, there was even someone who had already broken through to True Immortal Peak, arrogantly standing above the rest.

The only one who seemed completely out of place was Ye Haochuan.

A True Immortal Early Stage cultivator standing in the midst of a bunch of True Immortal Late Stage experts—he couldn’t help but stand out.

Fortunately, this eye-catching scene didn’t last long. Aside from a few show-offs who refused to leave the stage, most people quickly stepped down to go back and prepare for tomorrow’s matches.

Ye Haochuan also walked off the stage, and Ye Hongmao, wearing a strange expression, came up to greet him.

Ye Yixuan and Ye Hechan entering the second round was within expectations, but Ye Haochuan had been brought just to make up the numbers; no one had expected him to advance, and the way he’d done it left Ye Hongmao both amused and exasperated.

"You’d better not wander around later. That brat Tang An will probably come looking for trouble with you!" Ye Hongmao reminded him kindly.

The Tang Family’s influence was no weaker than the Ye Family’s; they naturally wouldn’t spare Ye Haochuan, the guy who had made Tang An lose so much face, just because of the Ye Family.

"If he wants to come, let him." Ye Haochuan replied calmly and stopped paying attention to Ye Hongmao.

He’d always been cold and distant toward Ye Hongmao; aside from simply being displeased with the man, he also wanted to cut off any chance of Ye Hongmao probing into him. After all, he was a fake Ye Yichuan, with too many secrets on him—say too much, and he’d inevitably slip up.

Seeing this, Ye Hongmao was quite displeased. Finally unable to hold it in, he snapped in a low voice, "No matter what, I’m still your father. What kind of attitude is that?"

"What kind of father exiles his own son? Don’t think I don’t know what’s on your mind. If I hadn’t saved your life, would you even look me in the eye? If I didn’t still hold your lifeline in my hands, would you be this polite to me?" Ye Haochuan shot back, showing no mercy.

"You—" Ye Hongmao was instantly at a loss for words.

What Ye Haochuan said was indeed true. If he didn’t still need Ye Haochuan to supply him with Pills to extend his life, then just for Ye Haochuan’s attitude just now, he would already have made him pay a heavy price.

Tang Yucheng appeared at just the right time, and the awkward atmosphere that had just started to rise immediately dissipated.

After saluting Ye Hongmao politely, Tang Yucheng suddenly pulled Ye Haochuan aside and whispered in his ear, "Interested in teaming up with me to go after something big?"

"Something big? What is it?" Ye Haochuan asked curiously.

"A Seven-Tailed Demon Fox!"

With a proud look on his face, Tang Yucheng said, "Yesterday I got word that near Xunchuan Forest, two hundred li south of Cangnan City, there were traces of a Seven-Tailed Demon Fox. I specially went to scout it out and really found a Seven-Tailed at True Immortal Late Stage."

In fact, when he found the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox yesterday, he’d wanted to make a move right away. But the fox’s bloodline was special; although it was the same realm as him, its strength was extremely fierce, and he wasn’t sure he could kill it.

Besides, he had to participate in the Temple tournament today, which was very important to him. If he ended up covered in injuries, that would be troublesome.

But he’d been holding this matter in his heart the whole time and felt extremely uneasy, afraid that someone else would also discover the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s trail. If that happened, he wouldn’t even get a sip of soup.

So after thinking it over repeatedly, he decided to call Ye Haochuan along. With the two of them joining forces, the danger would be greatly reduced.

He’d been born in a poor family, with no clan backing him. All his funds had to be earned by himself.

This Seven-Tailed Demon Fox was covered in treasures, especially its Essential Blood, which could enhance one’s bloodline and fetched an extremely high price. If they were lucky enough to obtain the fox’s Spirit Core, they’d truly strike it rich.

With so much money lying out there, how could he possibly focus on the tournament?

Hearing this, Ye Haochuan’s eyes immediately lit up.

Good Heavens, the heavens had opened their eyes—Seven-Tailed Beast, a Seven-Tailed Beast, it came at the perfect time!

Ye Haochuan’s mood was simply impossible to calm.

He didn’t care that much about how valuable the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox was, but about its Essential Blood.

His Nine-Tailed Sword Qi was still stuck at a precarious Peak state, and it was becoming a bit insufficient. If he could obtain the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox’s Essential Blood, he could improve his Nine-Tailed Sword Qi and greatly boost his strength.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!" Ye Haochuan urged impatiently.

Tang Yucheng gave Ye Haochuan a strange look. He’d just seen it—this guy should be from the Ye Family and shouldn’t be short on money. So why was he even more anxious than him?

Still, no matter what, since Ye Haochuan hadn’t turned him down, his heart settled. He took the lead ahead, flying toward the outskirts of the city.

Tang An, who had been watching Ye Haochuan the whole time, furrowed his brows as he saw the two of them walking away.

He was confident he could easily deal with Ye Haochuan, but Tang Yucheng’s ranking on the Qingfeng List was even higher than his. He couldn’t be sure he would win.

Just as he was torn, he suddenly saw a familiar face coming down from the plaza. His expression instantly brightened, and he hurried over in three quick steps.
