Live Strong in the Wilderness

Now, it’s been 10 days, and the initial screening is over.

For Xu Yi, he feels very happy every day.

Because he has already gained 1.2 million fortune value, much more than he anticipated.

Now, only 10,000 people remain on the island.

These are the elites of the major Holy Lands.

After observing these people, Xu Yi discovered that even the lowest fortune value among them was 800.

So, these talents are the real deal.

If Xu Yi can harvest them smoothly, he can gain even more fortune value.

However, they didn’t immediately start the next round of eliminations, instead giving a three-day rest period.

This is a reasonable arrangement, as constant battling does require them a few days to properly recover.

"Young Master, you are too formidable, taking down enemies with just one move," Tian Yuezi exclaimed, infinitely admiring, since during her participation, she couldn’t be as outstanding as Xu Yi.

No, it should be said that no one could reach Xu Yi’s level.

"Indeed, the sect leaders of each Holy Land are probably thinking of trying to recruit the Young Master. If they knew the Young Master’s identity, they’d be scared to death," Gu Qinglian also admired, Xu Yi’s strength far exceeding their imagination.

Even though Xu Yi’s level is quite low, there is no one who can surpass him in battle, even if others’ levels are higher than Xu Yi’s.

If they exerted their full strength, they might settle their opponents in about ten moves.

But doing this nonstop all day is impossible.

This definitely isn’t about Xu Yi cheating, but his true power.

When he was at that stage himself, he was indeed this powerful.

"Young Master, didn’t you say that Ye Fan is also here? Now there are only 5 loose cultivators left. So, that guy called Ye Long, is he Ye Fan?" Gu Qinglian asked with some confusion, having just gone out to gather information with Tian Yuezi.

However, currently, Ye Fan’s performance is quite average, several times nearly defeated.

"That’s right, Ye Long is Ye Fan. If nothing goes wrong, he should soon come to find us for an alliance." Xu Yi’s lips twitched slightly, finding it a bit amusing.

The upcoming challenge has single-player and team battle modes.

You can choose whichever mode you prefer, though team battles are certainly easier than single-player.

Ye Long has always been disguising, hiding his strength.

So, he’s sure to choose the team battle mode.

The team battle exposes him to lower risks.

Moreover, Xu Yi is now highly noticeable, everyone’s attention will be on Xu Yi, making him even safer.

"If he comes wanting to cooperate with us, should we agree?" Tian Yuezi asked curiously, not entirely understanding Xu Yi’s thoughts and attitude toward Ye Fan.

"Of course, we’re all loose cultivators, naturally, we should unite. Furthermore, given his displayed strength, team battles suit him more. So, he’ll definitely come," Xu Yi explained.

"Then we understand, we definitely won’t let him know we’ve already discovered his true identity," Gu Qinglian stated seriously.

Xu Yi nodded, then said, "This is also your test, mastering such skills is necessary if you wish to venture into the outside world."

"Okay, we’ll definitely perform well and won’t disappoint the Young Master," Tian Yuezi said excitedly, clenching her fists.

Xu Yi had mentioned that they would leave this world and go to Xiao Qi’s world after the assembly ends.

If they perform well in the new world, he might take them to more worlds.

Less than ten minutes later, Ye Fan arrived outside Xu Yi’s tent.

"Young Master Xu Yi, may I disturb you? My name is Ye Long, and I have something to discuss," Ye Long said politely outside the tent.

However, internally, he was somewhat skeptical of Xu Yi.

Because the strength Xu Yi showed was not something a loose cultivator should possess; such power was unattainable even for the seed disciples of the Saint Heirs in the Holy Lands.

Moreover, none of the sect leaders from the Holy Lands came to woo, nor did they send anyone to recruit Xu Yi.

Therefore, Ye Fan was curious as to whether Xu Yi was actually Young Master Xu from the Wuxu Palace, like a god.

After all, Xu Yi shared the same surname.

After considering for many days, Ye Fan decided to give it a try.

What if he’s not?

A person this strong should also seek the challenge of their limits, right?

The ’Young Master Xu’ from Wuxu Palace should be the highest peak in this world.

If he could fight ’Young Master Xu’ to a draw, he could dominate this world, and possibly venture into more advanced worlds, climbing higher peaks to obtain greater power.

Furthermore, Ye Fan thought if Xu Yi was ’Young Master Xu’, then his disguise was very successful, and might not be discovered. If discovered, ’Young Master Xu’ might not regard him as noteworthy.

When he was in Wuxu Palace, he targeted ’Young Master Xu’, but Xu did not retaliate harshly.

With comprehensive consideration, Ye Fan felt he could join forces with Xu Yi.

Winning rewards from the Eight Saints Assembly would be quite satisfying. Not only would he receive rewards to boost himself but also slap the face of each Holy Land.

"Come in," Xu Yi spoke, and the tent door automatically opened.

Then, Ye Fan walked into the tent.

"I already understand your intention. Team battles give us more opportunities, so I can agree. We’ll split the rewards evenly." Saying this, Xu Yi glanced at Ye Fan, his tone carrying an air of superiority.

Of course, this was Xu Yi’s deliberate action.

In Wuxu Palace, Xu Yi displayed indifference—as if world’s matters didn’t concern him—which was completely opposite to the air of superiority.

"Young Master Xu Yi is indeed straightforward and decisive; my choice was right," Ye Fan exclaimed joyously, becoming more suspicious internally.

Could it be, this Xu Yi isn’t ’Young Master Xu’?

But, could such a powerful person exist among loose cultivators?

Or, like him, did he also obtain a heaven-defying Golden Finger?

That’s right, the possibility isn’t low at all.

He could obtain a ring, so others might also gain Golden Fingers granting heaven-defying qualifications!

If he could seize it, wouldn’t he become stronger?

The ring Ye Fan possessed was taken away, but his ’master’ left him many valuable items. Especially the cultivation techniques, accelerating his cultivation faster than the Holy Land’s Saint Heirs.

Given enough time, he could surpass the Saint Heirs of all Holy Lands and even go beyond the sect leaders.

Recently, he received some news indicating ’Young Master Xu’ had left this world with Tian Yuezi and Gu Qinglian, returning to his own world.

Earlier, he was doubtful, but upon meeting Xu Yi, he felt the news might be true.

He thought Xu Yi wouldn’t disguise as a loose cultivator just to join the Eight Saints Assembly.

Because his strength surpasses the world’s geniuses greatly, why would he lower his status to join the assembly?

There’s no point, even to kill time, doing something insignificant like this isn’t necessary.

Moreover, the stronger the person, the more valuable their time is; wasting it here makes no sense.

He could easily obtain whatever he wanted from this world.

After all, his servant alone could flatten a Holy Land.

Xu Yi did not expect Ye Fan was coveting his Golden Finger.

He exchanged a few words with Ye Fan, then dismissed him.

Xu Yi’s keen Spiritual Power told him that the aura around the island was increasingly chaotic.

Perhaps Ye Fan is about to obtain a new Golden Finger.
