Chapter 300 - 299: What to Do with the Cash Gift?
Everyone was shocked, and even Su Yang took a deep breath. Ye Tianyu was truly no ordinary individual.
Nan Wudi went on, "Later, Ye Tianyu directly started practicing the sword. At ten, he became proficient and defeated a sword master in Pingnan Province. At fifteen, he beat the top expert of Pingnan Province at that time, which was Gwu Jihan!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, and Lin Zhengyuan said in a low voice, "Gwu Jihan was actually defeated by Ye Jiansheng? I really didn’t know that!"
Nan Wudi said, "Gwu Jihan was fifty years old at the time and couldn’t cope with losing to someone fifteen years old. He went mad from the shock. He burned all the secret manuals of the Gwu Family, leading to their downfall. They went from the leader of the Five Great Martial Arts Families to the very bottom, even at risk of being surpassed by others!"
The crowd sighed with regret. Such a thing, not just for Gwu Jihan, would be hard for anyone to accept.
"At eighteen, Ye Tianyu traveled the martial world. At twenty-five, he became the third-ranked individual on the Earth Rankings. Afterward, he returned home to marry and have a child, Ye Wantong. At thirty-one, his wife passed away from illness, and he became disillusioned and roamed the martial world once again. At thirty-five, he returned, having reached the seventh position on the Heavenly List, and people honorably referred to him as the Sword Saint. That is the origin of the name Ye Jiansheng."
"To calculate, he is now forty-five years old. No one knows what realm he has reached now!"
The crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. The life of Ye Jiansheng was simply breathtaking!
Su Yang, however, was pondering something else. He wondered, "What are the Earth Rankings and Heavenly List that you just mentioned?"
