Rebirth: City Sovereign

This could be said to be the most famous part of the Ye Family coming of age ceremony.    

"The competition is not limited to Ye Family disciples. All the guests present are allowed to enter the stage if they have studied anything related to martial arts."    

With that said, the red curtain behind Ye Hua was pulled by two Staff s, revealing a huge circular space.    

"The Ye Family disciples who have just participated in the coming of age ceremony cannot take the initiative to enter the stage and can only accept your challenges."    

"If you win one match, you can obtain any middle grade spirit artifact that my Ye Family has placed in the Ye Family villa!"    

With this said, everyone stared with widened eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief.    

A Medial Grade Spirit Weapon was a treasure that many families kept in their homes to worship every day. Their Ye Family was actually treated like a toy, giving it away as if it was given to them.    

"As expected of Ye Family!"    

In the tranquil atmosphere, someone muttered subconsciously, and everyone nodded in agreement.    

Ye Hua looked around, waiting for the people around him to understand, he picked up the microphone and spoke.    

"Then, let me announce the official start of the martial arts competition!"    

After saying that, Ye Hua bowed to all the guests and handed over the gigantic round battlefield to the young man.    

As the noble capital of China, basically every family with a little background would have connections with the martial way. At this time, when they saw Ye Hua walking down the stage, a few young men all revealed excited expressions and wanted to walk onto the stage.    

They understood in their hearts that they were no match for those Ye Family disciples, but when they thought about the middle grade spirit artifacts in the villa, these young men were still unable to suppress the impulse in their hearts.    

After all, he could choose his opponents in the martial competition. Even if he chose the weakest one, if he won, he would be able to take away a Middle Grade Spirit Treasure!    

Thinking about this, a few men even took off their suits and jackets, walking towards the round stage. But at this moment, a man in a white robe stood up from the crowd without a sound.    

Ye Family First Senior Brother, Ye Tian.    

The moment Ye Tian stood up, a suffocating aura swept over the entire area!    

The guests felt a cold feeling acting on their bodies, they couldn't help trembling. When their bodies touched the aura coming from Ye Tian's body, goosebumps appeared on their skin.    

Killing intent filled the entire Lake-Round Manor.    

The men from the other families wanted to fight before Ye Tian, but when they saw Ye Tian's bloodshot eyes, they all silently sat back down.    

Ye Tian slightly turned his body, looking around him, everyone silently looked at him. Other than fear, there was nothing else on their faces.    

Snorting coldly, Ye Tian was like an emissary from the underworld. His two feet raised up a black cloud of smoke as he pulled his body up onto the round stage.    

He walked onto the stage and turned around to face all the guests. Only his pupils were slightly trembling, as if he was looking for something.    

This suffocating silence continued for more than ten seconds until Ye Tian's gaze fell upon a red robed lady sitting beside the table. Only then did he open his mouth and let out a cold, hoarse voice.    

"Ye Family, Ye Tian's roll call."    

"Jianghai Branch Family, Ye Qingying."    

The moment he said this, everyone was terrified!    

No one would have thought that Ye Tian would actually call out a girl!    

Everyone looked at Ye Qingying who was sitting alone at a table. Ye Qingying was already scared stiff, she could not say a word, her two fists on her knees, her body could not help but shivering.    

Seeing Ye Qingying like this, Ye Tian Xie seemed to become a little impatient. He raised his hand and pointed at where Ye Qingying was sitting as he loudly shouted.    

"Bastard, get the hell up here!"    

When Ye Qingying heard Ye Tian saying this, her entire body trembled.    

Then, the features on Ye Tian's face twisted as he revealed a crazy smile.    

"Hahahaha, what's wrong with you, Ye Qingying?"    

"Afraid of being defeated by me? It's okay, I promise I'll give you the strength to step down. However … If I were to do anything on stage, I won't be able to guarantee anything. "    

"After all, you're dressed so coquettishly today, who knows if you're trying to seduce a man? "Hmm?"    

"Hahahaha!"    

Ye Tian Xie smiled and used dirty words to constantly insult Ye Qingying. The guests couldn't help but close their eyes and cover their ears, not listening to Ye Tian's dirty words.    

"I …"    

With a voice that was about to cry, a young man in a white shirt beside her stood up with a sullen expression just as Ye Qingying was about to say something.    

"I, on behalf of Ye Qingying, reject your request to spar with Ye Qingying."    

It was as if Ye Tian Xie was waiting for Ye Kai to appear, he immediately turned his head to look at Ye Kai.    

"Why not? Could it be that Ye Qingying was not someone from the Ye Family? From what I know, when Ye Qingying was at the Lake-Round Manor entrance, she used her power to break Loong Family Dragon Zheng's arms and legs! "    

Ignoring Lee Mengying's obstruction, Ye Kai left his seat and slowly walked over to Ye Tian, coldly asking.    

"Ye Qingying, as the group's president, in order to prevent those despicable and vile people from learning some self-defense skills, is there a problem?"    

Hearing Ye Kai say this, the corner of Ye Tian's mouth twitched. This despicable person was obviously implying it was him, Ye Tian.    

Ye Kai walked to the side of the round stage and slightly nodded as he looked at Ye Tian.    

"Since you want to fight, how about I fight with you?"    

This time, Ye Tian became even more angry.    

"You?"    

"A bodyguard of the Lightness Group, in terms of qualifications, is not worthy!"    

"Who said I'm not qualified?" Ye Kai sneered.    

"This is the Annual Meeting of Ye Family, you are not a person of the Ye Family, yet you want to accept the challenge in place of Ye Qingying.    

With his hands behind his back, Ye Kai looked down at Ye Qingying, then proudly raised his head, looked at the entire audience, and said indifferently: "Then, what if I am from the Ye Family?"    

When these words came out, the entire audience was shocked!    

All of the Ye Family disciples widened their eyes. They had never heard of a Ye Family having such an arrogant youth.    

A few Ye Family elders who were sitting in the corner had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and they started to discuss among themselves.    

"Lordmaster, is what he said true?"    

Ye Hua immediately confirmed it with Ye Jinxuan's loud voice.    

Ye Jinxuan sat on the chair and sighed, then nodded.    

"He's from the Ye Family."    

Seeing Ye Jinxuan's reaction, Ye Tian Xie also seemed to understand something. He fiercely clenched his teeth and repeated Ye Kai's name.    

"Ye Kai... So that's how it is. Your surname is Ye, it's not a coincidence. "    

Ye Kai looked at the crazy Ye Tian, revealing a disdainful expression.    

"Then, am I qualified?"    

Unexpectedly, Ye Tian laughed.    

"Of course."    

Originally, he wanted to take revenge on Ye Kai by humiliating him. Who would have thought that now, Ye Kai would actually choose to take the initiative and die.    

To Ye Tian, this was what he wanted!    

When the guests saw Ye Kai stepping onto the stage, their expressions were all complicated.    

A Sword Sect disciple said coldly as he watched Ye Kai walk onto the stage.    

"You actually want to compete with Ye Tian, you simply don't know your place."    

The Luo Family members beside him also nodded, "I hope he'll make it out alive."    

In the eyes of these people who had some understanding of Firmament Sect, this little bodyguard of Lightness Group was already no different from a dead person.    

Ye Kai held his hands behind his back as he walked forward to face Ye Tian's monstrous might. But Ye Tian's eyes slowly turned as cold as ice, as if Ye Kai's bones would shatter if he were to take another step forward.    

With such power, even Ye Qing had to retreat!    

However, Ye Kai seemed to not be affected at all, as if he was walking in a park.    

In this world, if one were of the same generation, there were not many people that could so easily stand in front of Ye Tian Xie!    

But like this, Ye Tian's fighting spirit was ignited.    

"Little bodyguard, you dare to step on my face, and you still want to stand out for your master? I will torture you endlessly on this Martial Arts Platform until you die! " Ye Tian clenched his teeth to the point that they were about to shatter.    

"The martial arts competition begins!"    

The moment Ye Hua announced the start of the match, the white stone underneath Ye Tian's feet exploded, his entire person was like a cannonball as he shot towards where Ye Kai was standing!    

The people below the stage could only see a wave of cold wind dancing, instantly pulling the distance of over ten meters in, Ye Tian Xie had already forced his way under Ye Kai's body, he pulled out a silver dagger and fiercely stabbed it at Ye Kai's right shoulder with a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye.    

"I'll cripple your right hand first!"    

Ye Tian Xie grabbed the dagger and lifted it high up, stabbing it into Ye Kai's right shoulder. He was about to cut open Ye Kai's arm!    

Just when everyone thought that this battle was about to end with an outcome, a clear and loud voice exploded in anger!    

"Bam!"    

There was only a sound of explosion that shook the entire lake, Ye Kai gently swung his arm, without any other techniques, he casually moved forward, in an instant he hit Ye Tian's right cheek, knocking Ye Tian's head down onto the green stone several hundred meters away!    

Ye Kai clapped his hands. His eyes were indifferent and he did not even look straight at Ye Tian. He only turned his body and clicked his tongue.    

"Trash."    

In an instant, the entire arena was silent!
