Chapter 59: Contesting the Stone House

Lei Ming watched Pang Sihai eat meat and wine, drool nearly spilling. He scratched Ye Liuyun's shoulder, urging him to go challenge at once.

In the Side Courtyard, Pang Sihai also laughed and asked, "You three, who will challenge me? Let it be known, killing is forbidden here, but breaking arms and legs is commonplace!"

Ye Liuyun looked at Pang Sihai and said to Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng, "I'll leave him to you two; I'm going to challenge the Ninth Stone House."

"Lin Feng, you still can't beat him, don't be impulsive. Yu Wenlong, you can try your strongest strike. If it fails, wait until you improve before challenging."

Yu Wenlong nodded, stepped forward. "I'll challenge you!"

Pang Sihai looked at Yu Wenlong, gave a "hm" and said, "He's a decent opponent!"

So he stood up and walked outside the courtyard.

Yu Wenlong, following Ye Liuyun's words, went up using his sword and unleashed his strongest strike, but still couldn't defeat Pang Sihai, only scratched him with the sword.

And Yu Wenlong himself was punched by Pang Sihai, spitting blood on the spot!

Lin Feng originally thought Ye Liuyun's words looked down on him; now recalling it, he still feels lingering fear.

Fortunately he had thought of saving face for Ye Liuyun, didn't rush first; otherwise, if it were him, besides spitting blood his bones would have broken several!

This Pang Sihai's explosive power and strength are too great!

Ye Liuyun gave Yu Wenlong a Healing Pill, then led them to the Ninth Stone House.

The onlookers immediately became interested.

"That kid is fierce! He passed Pang Sihai and directly challenged Tian Yuan!"

"Isn't staying alive enough? A True Essence First Level going to challenge True Origin Triple!"

The owner of the Ninth Stone House, Tian Yuan, also didn't expect a newcomer to directly challenge him.

"Probably this newcomer wants to show off! Then I'll make him face reality!"

Seeing his challenger is at a True Essence First Level realm, he felt a bit disdainful.

"Kid, have you thought it through? When I strike, I won't hold back; if you're injured, you bear the consequences!" Tian Yuan warned him.

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun replied, said nothing more, and made a beckoning gesture.

Tian Yuan didn't hesitate, threw a punch straight at him, and didn't slack off despite looking down on Ye Liuyun.

After this punch, accompanied by a tiger's roar, a tiger‑shaped True Essence Illusion lunged at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, unfazed, pointed a finger; a True Essence shot out, not only piercing the tiger's head but also drilling a blood hole through Tian Yuan's shoulder.

"Whoa! That kid is so powerful!"

"Is he really a True Essence First Level? Could he be hiding a higher realm?"

"Probably just happened to break Tian Yuan's technique; the gap is huge, how could it be?"

The surrounding disciples whispered small comments.

Yet Tian Yuan's shoulder was pierced; he never made a sound. At this moment his heart held only fear.

He had personally felt Ye Liuyun's finger, knowing its speed and force. If Ye Liuyun had aimed slightly at his head or heart, he would already be dead.

So he covered his shoulder, admitted defeat, turned back into the house, took out his own items, and gave the Stone House to Ye Liuyun.

Meanwhile, Lei Ming perched on Ye Liuyun's shoulder, flaunting, two short claws gripping his waist, as if showing off, causing the disciples to burst into laughter.

Ye Liuyun admired Tian Yuan's tough style. Feeling a bit guilty for taking his dwelling, he gave Tian Yuan a Healing Elixir.

Tian Yuan was stunned for a moment, but still thanked, took it, and left directly.

The surrounding disciples also got excited. A newcomer driving the Stone House's owner away adds some fun to their boring cultivation lives!

Moreover, some people clearly were itching, thinking Ye Liuyun's strength wasn't that great, probably just coincidence.

But before those people could challenge Ye Liuyun, Pang Sihai rushed over in big strides.

"New kid, this Side Courtyard of the Stone House isn't for someone of True Essence First Level like you to meddle with! Give it up for me!"

"So you're challenging me?" Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Challenge you? You think you deserve it? You just happened to win once, and you keep going!" Pang Sihai laughed loudly.

Some senior disciples nearby, hearing Pang Sihai's words, became more convinced that Ye Liuyun had merely broken Tian Yuan's technique by chance.

Otherwise, how could a True Essence First Level defeat a True Origin Triple?

Lei Ming crouched on Ye Liuyun's shoulder, emitted a low hum, clearly threatening him, very angry at his provocation.

Yet Ye Liuyun scanned Pang Sihai up and down.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get lost! Must you wait for me to act?" Pang Sihai shouted.

Meanwhile Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng, at this moment, silently mourned for him. Anyone daring to insult Ye Liuyun like that would die miserably.

Ye Liuyun said with a half‑smile, "I'm watching which bone of yours is best to break! Too bad we can't kill here; otherwise I'd just kill you to make a name!"

Ye Liuyun didn't hide his thoughts, said them outright. He had already decided to use Pang Sihai to make a name, preventing others from bothering him.

The previously itching eyes, he had already seen them.

"Want to die? I can grant you that! First I'll turn you into a puddle of sludge!" Pang Sihai said, then struck at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun directly employed Star Point Finger, pointing at the punch Pang Sihai threw.

The surrounding disciples were stunned.

Pang Sihai's punch power was known to all, the strongest; even Tian Yuan wouldn't dare resist. Otherwise he wouldn't have punched Yu Wenlong to make him spit blood.

Yet Ye Liuyun easily blocked it.

Not only blocked, Ye Liuyun squeezed with his hand, a crack sounded, followed by Pang Sihai's painful scream.

Then Ye Liuyun casually pulled, dragged Pang Sihai over, and with both hands pointed at each of Pang Sihai's limbs. Pang Sihai immediately lay on the ground wailing incessantly.

The disciples hearing Pang Sihai's pig‑slaughter‑like howl felt a chill. The previously itching people instantly fell quiet.

They also knew, if winning one by chance, winning two consecutively means real strength!

Moreover, Ye Liuyun was so ruthless, snapping all of Pang Sihai's limb bones. Watching Pang Sihai's limbs being crushed, they shivered.

"Here's a lesson: never open your mouth to curse others. This time I won't waste your cultivation; from now on take care of yourself!" Ye Liuyun said to Pang Sihai.

Pang Sihai finally fainted from pain at Ye Liuyun's doorstep. Ye Liuyun, however, paid no attention, turned and went straight into the Stone House.

Lei Ming turned and made a funny face at everyone, looking smug.

After Ye Liuyun moved into the Stone House, he also invited Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng to live together, but they refused!

Yu Wenlong laughed, "You forgot what Han Shan said—everything must be fought for by ourselves. Relying on you, can we depend on you for a lifetime? Don't worry, believe us; before long, we'll also seize the Stone House!"

"Good! Based on your attitude, I'll definitely befriend you!" Ye Liuyun also laughed.

That night, Yu Wenlong and Lin Feng built a simple thatched hut beside Ye Liuyun's Stone House and moved in.
