The next day, the sun shone a bit too brightly, and after arriving at the Martial Arts Arena, Ye Tianfan noticed that today's ring had changed in appearance, looking sturdier.
Furthermore, the number of people present at the venue clearly exceeded that of the semifinals. Some didn't even have seats and stood by the staircases. It seemed that the final match was quite lively; after all, it was the last battle. The rumored Space Ring, who would finally claim it?
Ye Tianfan, along with Tian Chu Zhenren, arrived at the Taijin Peak stands. After greeting the elders seated there, Ye Tianfan began preparing for the upcoming match.
The Sect Leader, Tian Chu Zhenren, walked to the center of the ring and began his pre-final speech.
"Blah blah blah..."
He spoke for about as long as it takes an incense stick to burn, then signaled for the finalists to come onto the ring.
Upon hearing the signal, Ye Tianfan spoke to Tian Chu Zhenren.
"Master, I'm going."
After speaking, Ye Tianfan summoned his Flying Sword and flew to the center of the Martial Arts Arena.
After arriving at the ring, Ye Tianfan first saluted Tian Chu Zhenren, then cupped his hands towards the senior brother Yun Tian, who got there faster than him: "Greetings, Senior Brother Yun Tian."
Senior Brother Yun Tian, seeing Ye Tianfan's greeting, also cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Junior Brother Tianfan."
"Since both of you are here, let's start the match!" Tian Chu Zhenren, seeing them both on the ring, said as much, and then with a flash, he moved not back to the Taijin Peak stand, but to one corner of the ring; he would act as the judge for this match.
As Tian Chu Zhenren disappeared and reappeared at one corner of the ring, three other elders appeared at the other corners. They were Zhen Chu Zhenren from Taishui Peak, Yun Chu Zhenren from Taijin Peak, and Yuan Chu Zhenren from Taiqi Peak, all ready to intervene at any time to stop any dangerous acts during the duel.
Ye Tianfan had not expected that the finals would involve three peak chiefs plus a Sect Leader as judges to potentially halt the match.
The disciples in the audience were shocked to see a combination of one Sect Leader and three peak chiefs, but soon they could sense the intense battle that was about to unfold.
After all, if even the Sect Leader and peak chiefs had to come out to judge, didn't this mean that the elders were no longer able to stop the ensuing fight?
Onstage, Ye Tianfan immediately summoned the Xuanhuang Tower to shield himself. As for the Defensive Immortal Technique? Come on, not only was Ye Tianfan not skilled in Defensive Immortal Techniques, even if he were, the defensive techniques at Taijin Peak, which barely had any defensive capability, might not even make a difference.
Ye Tianfan originally wanted to first use the Fire Lotus Sword to test things out but decided against it. After all, the Fire Lotus Sword had inexplicably awakened its spirituality. He couldn't afford to have it shattered here; once a Magical Treasure breaks, it's considered useless, and it can't be repaired. There's no such thing as fixing a Magical Treasure; even with the best materials, once broken, it's waste, unusable again.
Seeing Ye Tianfan summon the Xuanhuang Tower, Senior Brother Yun Tian had no change in expression. He knew Ye Tianfan had a Xuanhuang Tower and was familiar with it, given Taishui Peak's more extensive library compared to Taijin Peak.
Moreover, he had a Kirin Seal of even higher grade than the Xuanhuang Tower.
Ye Tianfan then summoned the Xiaoyao Sword.
As soon as the Xiaoyao Sword appeared, a ripple spread out, as if celebrating its grand entry. Everyone in the arena who experienced the ripple felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
"Is that...?"
Without mentioning others' expressions seeing the Xiaoyao Sword, Bai Feng looked at the Xiaoyao Sword as if Ye Tianfan owed him a billion.
"That's the Xiaoyao Sword, the legendary Xiaoyao Sword. That rascal Ye Tianfan never told me he also had a Xiaoyao Sword," Bai Feng gritted his teeth looking at Ye Tianfan. Earlier, Ye Tianfan had told him that if he had any good Magical Treasures, he'd definitely show him. Yet, he kept this and didn't let Bai Feng see it.
Meanwhile, on the Taijin Peak stands, everyone except Tian Chu Zhenren had slight smiles on their faces.
The others didn't understand the difference between Supreme Magical Treasures, they only knew that Senior Brother Yun Tian had only one Supreme Magical Treasure, while Ye Tianfan had two.
With one more than Senior Brother Yun Tian, the scales of victory seemed to tip in favor of Ye Tianfan in this match.
Tian Chu Zhenren was aware and thus, despite Ye Tianfan bringing out the Xiaoyao Sword, he didn't have high hopes for him.
And in the four corners, the chief leaders were all a bit surprised to see Ye Tianfan bringing out two Supreme Magical Treasures. While they each had one or two Supreme Magical Treasures themselves, theirs were merely common ones, not of known fame or origin.
Additionally, they recognized this Magical Treasure, the Xiaoyao Sword, which had disappeared along with the Xuanhuang Tower.
Unexpectedly, this disciple had acquired them; it seemed he had quite the fortune. Tian Chu Zhenren nodded at Ye Tianfan knowingly. After all, a year had passed since the incident, so he recognized him. He just didn't expect Ye Tianfan's fortune to be so profound.
A survivor from a village massacre, and he wasn't even seriously wounded. Within a year, he reached the eighth layer of Myriad Mysteries and even acquired two Supreme Magical Treasures through his experiences. Essentially, he lived through what many would consider a lifetime's journey in just one year.
Some with poor aptitude might barely reach the eighth layer of Myriad Mysteries in a lifetime, let alone acquire Magical Treasures during their adventures. Surviving without incident is already a blessing.
The other disciples in the audience, not recognizing these two Magical Treasures, didn't know they were Supreme Magical Treasures, only that they seemed formidable.
Even Senior Brother Yun Tian was somewhat surprised when Ye Tianfan brought forth the Xiaoyao Sword. During the quarterfinals, he had learned every finalist's background, so he knew Ye Tianfan's story.
His thoughts were like his master Tian Chu Zhenren's; astonished at Ye Tianfan's talent and further amazed by his fortune upon seeing him summon these two Supreme Magical Treasures.
Seeing Ye Tianfan with two Supreme Magical Treasures, Senior Brother Yun Tian began to take things a bit more seriously. While his previous battles appeared intense, he had not been earnest, casually wielding the Seven-Star Sword without breaking a sweat, except against Bai Feng. There, like a tortoise shell, he had to use the Kirin Seal. If he hadn't used the Kirin Seal, the Seven-Star Sword alone could have pierced Bai Feng's shield, but it would have taken more time and energy.
That's why he chose to use the Kirin Seal back then.
