"Little Rain, have you been slacking off recently?"
Ye Tian gently petted Ye Yu's small head, full of affection.
Ye Yu answered seriously, "Little Rain hasn't been lazy. I've been training hard and now have 300 pounds of strength!"
Gaining 300 pounds in just over a month was impressive, even for an Intermediate-grade Cultivation Talent. Ye Tian knew this was mostly thanks to the Ferocious Beast blood.
Without enough blood, Ye Yu wouldn't have advanced so quickly.
"Have you encountered any trouble recently?"
Ye Tian asked again.
"No one's troubled me, but someone has come looking for you, brother."
Ye Yu replied.
"Who?"
Ye Tian frowned.
"I don't know them, but they were arrogant. They said they were a genius from Iron Tooth Base named Sun Feng."
Ye Yu recalled.
"Iron Tooth Base… Sun Feng."
Ye Tian silently noted the name.
He then placed his herbs and high-grade Ferocious Beast Blood inside, then went out alone.
"Come out!"
Ye Tian called from a corner.
A figure emerged—it was a Martial Artist from Wind Wolf Hunting Squad.
"Greetings, Lord Ye Tian!"
The Martial Artist respectfully greeted.
"Take me to your captain. I have some questions."
Ye Tian wanted to learn about Sun Feng from Iron Tooth Base, who had challenged him.
Soon Ye Tian met Wind Wolf.
"Ye Tian, you're finally back!"
Wind Wolf sighed in relief.
He had feared something had happened to Ye Tian.
"Wind Wolf, I heard someone named Sun Feng came looking for me?"
Ye Tian asked directly.
Wind Wolf nodded, frowning. "Yes. Sun Feng was from Iron Tooth Base—a top talent far beyond anyone here in Seaside Base. His Talent is High-grade Cultivation Talent, and now he's mid-stage Elite Martial Artist. After Iron Tooth Base's people merged here, Sun Feng has been challenging young talents. Many Intermediate-grade Cultivation Talents were easily defeated, even some older Elite Martial Artists lost to him. I don't know where he heard about you, but he came to challenge you. When you weren't home, he left."
"I see."
Ye Tian understood.
He had thought it was some vendetta, but it was merely a challenge.
"Be careful. Sun Feng is ruthless. Those he challenged have been badly injured and need months to recover. He even has a Great Martial Artist at the peak backing him. Stronger Martial Artists dare not challenge him, lest they provoke trouble."
Wind Wolf warned.
"I know my limits."
Ye Tian was indifferent.
He understood Wind Wolf's concern. Sun Feng was a privileged second-generation fighter. Those who could beat him didn't dare, those who couldn't had to take the beating. This made Sun Feng arrogant.
Others feared Sun Feng, but Ye Tian did not. Even if the Great Martial Artist behind Sun Feng came himself, he wouldn't be a match for Ye Tian.
After parting with Wind Wolf, Ye Tian returned to cultivation—always cultivation!
With plenty of high-grade Ferocious Beast Blood, he had no resource worries, feeling his strength rapidly grow daily.
This rapid rise intoxicated him.
Nothing was more fun than growing stronger.
But trouble came knocking.
"Ye Tian, I know you're back. Come out and fight me!"
A very arrogant voice called from outside the villa.
Ye Tian angrily ended his training and went out.
"Who are you?"
Ye Tian asked sharply, eyeing the young man nearby.
He guessed who it was but asked anyway.
"I'm Sun Feng, one of Iron Tooth Base's four geniuses. You're Ye Tian, right? I hear you're also High-grade Cultivation Talent. Let's see who's stronger!"
Sun Feng boasted.
Ye Tian knew such people's nature: if he refused the fight, Sun Feng wouldn't leave but would become even more obnoxious, possibly using dirty tactics.
So, Ye Tian decided to accept and planned to decisively beat Sun Feng so he wouldn't dare to provoke him again.
"A contest is fine, but it's boring without stakes. I'm interested if there's a wager!"
Ye Tian smiled.
"Stakes?"
Sun Feng showed interest. "What do you want to bet?"
"A Bronze-level Knife Technique—dare you?"
Ye Tian said suddenly.
"A Bronze-level Knife Technique?!"
Sun Feng became interested.
He naturally wanted Knife Techniques—the more, the better.
"Alright, I agree. I'll put up a Bronze-level Knife Technique too!"
Sun Feng quickly agreed, fearing Ye Tian would back out.
What Sun Feng didn't know was Ye Tian smirked slyly after his agreement.
He offered a Bronze-level Knife Technique as stake because he had seen Sun Feng's Talents.
Human: Sun Feng
Cultivation Talent: High-grade
Blade Talent: Intermediate-grade
Sun Feng had Intermediate-grade Blade Talent, obviously practicing Knife Technique. The Bronze-level Knife Technique would be very useful to him, and given Sun Feng's status, he could probably obtain one easily.
But who would complain about having an extra Bronze-level Knife Technique?
"Since you agreed, let's state our stakes!"
Sun Feng started describing his technique.
"My Bronze-level Knife Technique is called Green Wind Slash, which enhances attack power. At completion, it increases attack power by six times, and even at mastery, it boosts it by three times. What about yours?"
"Since yours enhances attack power…"
Ye Tian's heart raced.
He had been searching for such a technique for a long time but never found one. Sun Feng had it.
Getting that would greatly boost his fighting power.
"My Bronze-level Knife Technique is Shadow Kill, which enhances blade speed. It can increase blade speed by five to six times and focuses on one-hit kills that are hard to block."
Ye Tian explained.
"A blade-speed-enhancing Bronze-level Knife Technique! That's a fast blade, something I don't have. I'm winning big!"
Sun Feng confidently thought, never doubting he would lose.
"When do we start?"
Ye Tian asked.
"My technique manual isn't with me. Also, battles between Elite Martial Artists cause great destruction. Let's fight tomorrow at 10 a.m. at Huiming Square. How about that?"
Sun Feng proposed.
"Fine."
Ye Tian agreed.
