he truly found the sleeping Eight-Forked Deity.The so-called "great god" is merely a product of the exaggeration and worship by people in the Great Dog Kingdom. In fact, it is just an eight-headed se..."Oh! How is this possible"

Everyone's mouths hung open in disbelief at what they were seeing.

Having fallen to the ground, everyone knew what that meant: the First Prince had lost, and Ye Bufan emerged as the ultimate victor.

Just as Tubay Yang broke through to the Hě Tǐ realm, they had already made up their minds about the outcome of this competition in their hearts.

But what was unexpected was that the reality turned out to be completely different from what they imagined, and this is how the peak battle ended.

After the shock subsided, everyone was left with confusion. Those who reached the Nascent Soul stage could fly using their qi, let alone those at the Core Formation stage. Why would the Crown Prince fall to the ground

Could it be that he just broke through and couldn't control his cultivation, causing this chaos But that possibility is too insignificant.

On the viewing platform, all four stewards were shocked by this scene. The difference was that after being shocked, Zhang He's heart was full of relief, while the other three people had more doubts.

Lei Heng exclaimed in astonishment, "How many tricks does this kid have up his sleeve How could he possibly be the ultimate winner"

Qin Biyao smiled and nodded, her face full of approval.

"The little guy's greatest strength isn't his methods, but his cunning."

If I'm not mistaken, the moment the Crown Prince broke through, he started laying his plans. All the previous attacks were just paving the way for the final blow.

In fact, she was right. Ye Bufan had known all along that his attacks were ineffective against a cultivator at the Integration Stage. Everything he did before was to let Tuoba Yang relax and create an opening for a final, decisive blow.

Zhongli Mei said, "One needs both guile and ability. I see that little fellow used teleportation in the end, and there should be another kind of divine sense technique for sneak attacks, otherwise, the eldest prince wouldn't have lost at all."

The three of them were all shrewd and experienced individuals. Although they hadn't personally witnessed the events, they had pieced together a pretty good idea of what had happened.

On the other hand, Tuo Ba Hong Yi wore a grim expression. Although among his many sons, he favored the second prince most.

But after all, Tuo Ba Yang was his own son, and the eldest son at that. Naturally, he hoped his son would win at this time.

In fact, his son lost, and he felt a little embarrassed being watched by so many people.

Some others were ecstatic, especially Liu Yijian. He had originally been desperate, but he didn't expect a turn of events, and Ye Bufan brought him another miracle.

At this moment, he was filled with admiration and worship for this man. If it were him, there was no way he could win. Having entered the integration period, Tuo Ba Yang was already unreachable. That meant he wouldn't be able to get the Red Yuan Fruit.

Students from the University of Shui Mu were even more ecstatic. Seeing Ye Bufan emerge victorious, they cheered and celebrated with unrestrained excitement.

Among the crowd watching, although most hoped their own prince would win, Ye Bufan's previous performance had won him a large number of fans. At this moment, countless people cheered and rejoiced for him.

On the sword-fighting platform, Ye Bufan exerted all his strength to strike out with a divine soul blade. Afterward, the injury in his sea of consciousness was triggered again, causing excruciating pain, as if it were about to explode.

If it weren't for my strong willpower, I would have probably fallen on the platform.

He hurriedly swallowed the remaining three Shenyuan Pills, barely managing to stabilize his figure and slightly improve his injuries.

And just then, a roar of anger erupted, "You damn scoundrel, you dare to scheme against me! I'll kill you!"

Tuoba Yang's trance was only brief. When he came to, he found himself lying outside the sword-testing platform.

The crowd was cheering wildly for Ye Bufan's victory, which instantly enraged him, his eyes blazing with fury.

He was the ambitious crown prince, with his own plans and would never accept defeat.

Besides, as a powerhouse in the fusion stage now, I should win this match based on strength alone.

That is why he could not accept the current situation under any circumstances.

Tuoba Yang's eyes were bloodshot, like an enraged beast. After a roar, he charged towards Ye Bufan on the sword-testing platform.

Everyone in attendance was taken aback, none of them expecting the Crown Prince to not only deny defeat but also react so impulsively.

Ye Bufan was already weak and exhausted, his mental energy depleted. Coupled with the injuries on his body, he couldn't resist even a cultivator in the Refining Void Realm, let alone one at the Fusion Stage.

However, the people of Shui Mu University were well-prepared. In an instant, Nalan Yujia and Li Dao ran to the sword testing platform, protecting him behind them.

"What are you going to do"

Nalan Yugga roared in fury, her powerful aura suddenly erupting. She seemed ready to strike and kill the other party with a single word if they dared oppose her.

Although Xiaqing wasn't on stage, she was tense with anticipation and ready for battle.

If Ye Bufan were truly in danger, she would not hesitate to reveal her identity and fight even if it meant risking her life.

The situation immediately became tense. After all, Tuo Ba Yang was the prince of the Daxing Empire. If things really escalated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And just then, a figure appeared out of thin air, blocking his path.

"You wretch! Are you going to bring shame upon the entire royal family"

The one who made the move was Emperor Tuoba Hongyi of the current dynasty. At this moment, his expression was gloomy, and he looked furious.

At the same time, a voice transmission exploded in Tuobaye's ear.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this What good will it do to kill that boy named Ye anyway"

Tuoba Yang's greatest fear was his own father. Receiving his father's voice transmission at this moment was like a bolt from the blue, immediately sobering him up.

If he makes a move now, whether he can kill Ye Bufan or not, it's a refusal to acknowledge the result of the competition.

According to the competition rules, this is very serious and you will immediately be disqualified from the Newcomer Ranked Match, have your second-place results canceled, and lose the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.

Besides, this inability to accept defeat would also bring shame upon the imperial family of the Daxing Empire.

The most crucial point here is not that the royal family has absolute power. There are also three elders from the three major sects sitting beside them. This is something the Great Xing Empire cannot control.

At this thought, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

As the crown prince of royal descent, Tuoba Yang was also able to bend and stretch. After understanding the key to the matter, he immediately stopped his actions and bowed his head in apology.

"Father, I'm sorry. It was my rashness for a moment."

"Just give me my refund."

After he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he returned to his seat.

His recent actions not only did not damage the royal prestige, but also earned him applause.

Only then did the referee on stage come to his senses, immediately announcing that Ye Bufan had won the match and also secured the top spot in the newcomer ranking tournament.

As soon as the results were announced, the entire Royal Academy erupted in cheers and shouts.

Next, the competition proceeded as scheduled. The top nine players from the newcomer ranking match all took to the stage for the award ceremony, which was presided over by Emperor Tubo Hongyi of the Daxing Empire.

The top three awards are exactly the same as previously announced, with Garzina receiving a spirit armor and Tuoba Yang receiving a He Ling Dan.

But he has already advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, so this thing is of no use to him anymore.

While Ye Bufan's eyes were fixed on the jade box in Zhong Li Mei's hand, he could sense the faint aura emanating from it. This was the heaven and earth treasure he desired—the Hong Yuan Fruit..""Uh!"Seeing this scene, these people were shocked and almost choked on their own saliva, especially the eleven people who had just come out of it.I just fought tooth and nail, barely making it throu...
