The final result was unexpected for Ye Tianfan, but it was also reasonable in a way.

Bai Feng lost, that Bai Feng who said he would see Ye Tianfan in the finals lost, and it was a crushing defeat; the entire battle did not last long.

Bai Feng's Magical Treasure was shattered one after another, and in the end, Bai Feng even used his attacking treasures for defense. He was still utterly smashed.

Ye Tianfan looked at Bai Feng on the stage, holding half of a counterfeit Xuanhuang Tower in a daze, and sighed. It seemed his plan to use the Leisure Sword in front of Bai Feng couldn't be executed anymore.

The next battle would be against Senior Brother Yun Tian.

After the battles ended, all the day's competitions came to an unexpectedly swift end. To know, during the previous session of the Nine Veins Martial Meet, just the semifinals took almost a week.

Yet the semifinals of this session of the Nine Veins Martial Meet lasted less than a day, allowing everyone to make it in time for dinner.

So no one anticipated it would end so soon, not even the cooks in the kitchen. Because they didn't expect it, they hadn't prepared lunch, nor dinner afterwards.

Nothing could be done; without a meal, fasting was the only option. For those above Sixth Level of Wanxuan, fasting could last a long time. Eating mainly was for habit and satisfying one's cravings.

So for those below Sixth Level Wanxuan, tonight would be belly rumbling, since they hadn't eaten at noon, and nor at evening.

At this time, Ye Tianfan was not in his room but was with Tian Chu Zhenren in a small forest on Taichu Peak.

Tian Chu Zhenren thought that Ye Tianfan's chances tomorrow were slim. However, he still wanted Ye Tianfan to make a last-minute effort, for what if his little bit of learning led to a victory? People should have dreams, even if they're not always realized.

"Xiao Qi, about tomorrow's battle with Senior Nephew Yun Tian, I think your chances are slim. But no matter, as long as you try your best." Tian Chu Zhenren said, after leading Ye Tianfan to the little grove.

What? Master, even if my chances are low, you ought to encourage me! Why directly reveal the truth? Right before the competition, you're almost crushing your apprentice's confidence; you must not be a true master! Ye Tianfan silently mocked inside.

"You shouldn't be doubtful. Even if you possess those two Supreme Magical Treasures, your hope against Senior Nephew Yun Tian is still limited." Tian Chu Zhenren said frankly.

Ye Tianfan didn't reply, but silently stared at Tian Chu Zhenren, wanting to hear the reason why, even with those two treasures, he had no hope.

Tian Chu Zhenren faced Ye Tianfan's defiant gaze and began explaining.

"Do you know, Ye Tianfan, what that square seal in your Senior Brother Yun Tian's hand is?"

"I don't know, Master!" Ye Tianfan answered, though he thought to himself, could that square seal also be Supreme Magical Treasure? But even if it is Supreme Magical Treasure, I have two, and Senior Brother Yun Tian has just one. This reckoning still favors me.

"The square seal is the legendary Qilin Seal, a Supreme Magical Treasure." Tian Chu Zhenren said with visible apprehension.

"But Master, I have two Supreme Magical Treasures, and Senior Brother Yun Tian only has one. Reckoning it this way, it's contendable." Ye Tianfan responded with some defiance.

"You only know one side of the matter." Tian Chu Zhenren said, further explaining to Ye Tianfan: "Qilin Seal, is a pillar named Heaven's Column, the sole pillar in heaven and earth from supreme antiquity. During the epoch when Demon Beasts reigned, the era of ancient Demon Beasts was ending,

Demon Beast Great Saint, Nine-tailed Demon Fox, attempted to exterminate humanity. In the end, nearly driving humanity to extinction. At that time, the Human Ancestor Leader Qi Tian, along with his wife Lin Di, in order to save humanity, destroyed the then-supporting pillar, Heaven's Column, thus allowing humanity to vitally survive, the Demon Beasts won't survive either. The method the Human Ancestor Leader thought of actually was mutual destruction.

The result was unexpected; Heaven's Column remained too robust, and they only knocked off a palm-sized piece of Heaven's Column. The Human Ancestor Leader lamented dispairingly, "Heaven and Earth shows no mercy!"

Unexpectedly, Heaven became wrathful. Massive changes transpired, divine thunder fell from the sky, smiting the Human Ancestor Leader and his wife, and even that wasn't enough; immediately lightning struck the earth, numerous species became extinct.

At that time, there existed a Demon Beast inclined toward humanity, advocating peaceful coexistence with humanity, Huang Wa observed such scenes: daily some species were vanishing henceforth. Unbearably pained, Huang Wa then mixed that fragment knocked down by the Human Ancestor Leader with the leader's bodies, refining them into a small seal; due to the small seal being refined from Heaven's Column and the Human Ancestor Leader's corpses, Heaven instantly struck the small seal with overwhelming lightning.

The small seal endured eighty-one days of thunder strikes, finally satiating Heaven's rage, then ceased the lightning strikes.

Of all things, ceasing the strikes roused the Demon Beasts to use it as pretext to again massacre humanity.

Following the Human Ancestor Leader's demise, Heaven Seal Ancestor who bore the leader's burden, observed the small seal occasionally crackling with thunder, then reclaimed it, calling it 'Qilin Seal' after taking a character from these pair's names for memorial albums, and bearing the seal to defeat the Nine-tailed Demon Fox onslaught, smashing it immediately, saving the ancient human clan.

Now do you comprehend the formidable power of Qilin Seal!

"Rea... really?" Ye Tianfan asked incredulously.

Why fight after all! This is an ancient treasure that once rescued humanity; it can't compare to Supreme Magical Treasures from centurial times; it feels that his treasures simply can't measure up.

"Must be fake, right!" Little did Ye Tianfan expect, Tian Chu Zhenren replied thus on hearing Ye Tianfan's unconscious query!

"Fa... fake?" Ye Tianfan was stunned by the answer. Fake, why tell so much! Almost got scared to death just now.

"I don't know either, it's not that I don't know, but rather nobody knows, this just being the treasure's origin story." Tian Chu Zhenren said: "Remember, the origins stories of treasures, eighty percent fabrication, twenty percent authenticity, thus I'm unsure how much truth in reality it bears. Solely, this Qilin Seal indeed is extraordinarily powerful, both offensively and defensively." Tian Chu Zhenren said earnestly.

"This I know Master, surely will guard against his Qilin Seal; moreover, my Xuanhuang Tower isn't inferior, isn't it!" Ye Tianfan said, simultaneously with self encouragement.

"No, if it comes to reckoning, the Xuanhuang Tower is far inferior to Qilin Seal!" Tian Chu Zhenren stated frankly.

Master, you are my Master Qin; yet keep pouring cold water on your apprentice, making Ye Tianfan nearly lose confidence.

"Suppose Supreme Magical Treasures have four tiers, your Xuanhuang Tower tops at the level of ultimate treasure category, third tier category..."
