Chapter 158 Pure Love God of War

Nalan Shuo spoke up to stop Murong Chuan, seemingly intending to resolve the matter personally.

Hearing this, Murong Chuan suppressed his anger and turned around, even managing to squeeze out a smile; his rapid change in attitude was quite a feat.

"Since my nephew wants to solve it himself, I'll leave it to you then."

Nalan Shuo looked Ye Fan up and down and couldn't help but nod.

"Not bad. To have the Eighth Level of Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of twenty, such Aptitude is first-rate even in the Central Continent. No wonder Wan'er took a liking to you."

"If I weren't more excellent than you, I would never come to disturb Wan'er. Therefore, you should take the initiative to withdraw; that would be best for Wan'er."

This tactic of praising before criticizing left Ye Fan somewhat speechless. He quietly asked Wan'er if the two of them were very close.

Murong Wan gave Ye Fan an annoyed look and briefly explained the relationship between the two. After hearing it, Ye Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I didn't expect him to be a Pure Love War God."

Ye Fan didn't actually dislike this kind of person; after all, who hasn't had a time of first love and youthful arrogance?

If their positions were swapped, he might have done something even more excessive.

Unfortunately, there are no 'what ifs' in this world. Since it involved Murong Wan, it was impossible for Ye Fan to yield.

"Let's keep it simple. You mentioned a bet just now?" Ye Fan said, getting straight to the point.

"That's right. The two of us will have a match. If you defeat me, I promise not to come and harass Wan'er in the future."

"Conversely, if you lose, Wan'er must come with me."

Nalan Shuo displayed his cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Realm as a show of force. Murong Chuan and the others sneered repeatedly, all of them wearing expressions of schadenfreude.

"Kid surnamed Ye, you probably don't know yet, but Nalan Shuo is a Prodigy ranked twelfth on our Central Continent's hidden dragon ranking."

"Do you even know what the hidden dragon ranking is? You've probably never even heard of it. Telling you all this is simply a waste of breath."

The members of the Murong Family all had expressions of disdain. In their bones, they felt a sense of superiority over the Southwest Continent, as if they could already see the expression on Ye Fan's face after being beaten to the ground.

Little did they know that as soon as those words were spoken, the expressions of the high-ranking members of the Joyous Union Sect present became increasingly strange, as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Is ranking twelfth on the hidden dragon ranking very impressive?

Don't you know that even the one ranked first on the hidden dragon ranking was beaten like a dog by Ye Fan?

Ye Fan also had a speechless expression and couldn't help but ask Nalan Shuo if he had heard any news recently.

"What news?" Nalan Shuo asked curiously.

"For example, about the Xuantian Sword Sect... the Trial Assembly or something like that?"

"So that's what you meant. I was in seclusion a few days ago and didn't have time to participate. I'm sure my Senior Brother must have taken the top spot," Nalan Shuo said with a face full of pride.

"Could your Senior Brother be..."

"I didn't expect someone in the Southwest Continent to know my Senior Brother's name."

"That's right. He is the Daoist of my Creation Gate and the number one Prodigy on the hidden dragon ranking, Ye Feng."

After saying this, Nalan Shuo looked at everyone with an excited expression, seemingly waiting for them to give some sort of response.

However, the expressions of the Joyous Union Sect Cultivators inside and outside the hall became even more peculiar, as if they were stifling laughter.

The Murong Family members originally thought these titles would frighten everyone in the Joyous Union Sect, but to their surprise, everyone remained unresponsive, which greatly displeased them.

"Hmph, country bumpkins are just country bumpkins. It seems they haven't even heard of the hidden dragon ranking," Murong Chuan said with a cold laugh.

Ye Fan looked at Nalan Shuo with some speechlessness, feeling that he might have encountered an honest man today, making him feel a bit embarrassed to make a move against him.

"It seems those guys kept their mouths shut tight; the matter of the Xuantian Sword Sect trial hasn't leaked out at all," Ye Fan thought to himself.

Since things had come to this, Ye Fan didn't bother to point it out and stated directly that they would proceed with the bet as Nalan Shuo had said.

"Good! I will use my strength to prove to Wan'er that I am the most suitable person for her. Wan'er, wait for me."

Nalan Shuo had an excited expression, which left Murong Wan completely speechless.

"...He might not be very bright. Be careful when you strike, don't hit him and make him even stupider," Murong Wan said with some pity.

"Don't worry, he's a rarity. I'll go easy on him," Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh.

Nalan Shuo wanted Ye Fan to take him to the Martial Arts Practice Field, but Ye Fan shook his head and said it wasn't necessary.

"It's just a matter of one move. There's no need for all that trouble," Ye Fan said casually.

"One move? Then you underestimate yourself too much."

"Since you could defeat Murong Jie, you must have some unknown methods. So, I estimate that within a hundred moves, we should be evenly mat—"

Before Nalan Shuo could finish his sentence, Ye Fan's figure was already in front of him. His speed was so fast that even the Core Formation Realm Cultivators present couldn't catch his silhouette.

"Sorry, what I meant was resolving this in one move."

The Golden Dragon Scale Arm seemed to possess the power to tear through the Void Realm. Nalan Shuo's protective Magic Treasure was useless against this strike.

By the time he reacted, the Golden Dragon Claw was already pressed against Nalan Shuo's face.

Ye Fan only needed to apply a little force, and his head would explode on the spot like a watermelon.

"You lost."

As soon as Ye Fan spoke, the noisy hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.

The members of the Murong Family present seemed to have collectively petrified, completely unable to believe what they were seeing.

"Ye Fan defeated Nalan Shuo in one move?!"

He was a Prodigy ranked twelfth on the hidden dragon ranking, someone who had defeated a Core Formation Realm Cultivator with his Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, and an existence who might charge towards becoming a Nascent Soul Realm Great Power in the future.

Yet such a Prodigy was defeated by Ye Fan in a single move; this completely overturned everyone's worldview.

This time, even Murong Longcheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

Nalan Shuo only felt his mind go blank. It took him a while to come to his senses. His confident expression vanished instantly, replaced by a face full of complexity.

"You won. According to our agreement, I won't come to disturb Wan'er anymore."

Although Nalan Shuo's expression was infinitely lonely, he didn't make any excuses and admitted his failure cleanly.

This made Ye Fan feel a bit embarrassed, as if he were bullying someone.

"As the saying goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Actually, someone as excellent as you doesn't need to hang yourself on a single tree."

"My Joyous Union Sect has many single female Cultivators. If you take a liking to someone, I'll help introduce you."

"From now on, we're all family. Just forget about the past unpleasantness," Ye Fan said with a serious face.

This time, even the Murong Family was stunned. No one expected Nalan Shuo to give up so decisively. They all cursed him in their hearts for being abnormal. Had the Creation Gate actually taken a liking to a lunatic?!

Seeing that Nalan Shuo was about to give up, Murong Chuan couldn't stand it.

The Murong Family had finally managed to cling to the Creation Gate; how could they let the duck in their mouth fly away?

Even if it was just for the benefits they had already swallowed from the Nalan Family, they wouldn't let Murong Wan stay here.

"This is outrageous! No matter what happens today, my Murong Family will take away this rebellious daughter!"
