Chapter 152: The Secret from Twelve Years Ago, and the Reason Ye Bai Became a Grinding Machine!

As the arena match for the third group of the first round ended.

Golden light shone down upon the heads of Ye Bai and Shangguan Yijian!

The two were instantly teleported onto the arena!

The battle Ye Bai had been looking forward to for so long had finally arrived!

……

At the same time.

"It's starting, it's starting!"

"Among the three King-level Prodigies, the first collision of the Ladder Tournament!"

"Whoever wins means they are one hundred percent into the top two!"

In the Ladder Tournament livestream room, the atmosphere had completely reached a climax!

……

"Xiaobai, come on..."

Jiangcheng.

Qin Churan and Xi Mengyue were clutching their palms in a cold sweat.

……

"It all depends on this match, Brother Ye!"

Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao were even more nervous than when Ye Bai's points hadn't caught up during the First Stage.

……

"Grandpa, Ye Bai will definitely win, right?"

"Didn't I tell you? You can completely trust young friend Ye."

Martial Artist Association.

Liu Qingtian answered Liu Yan'er with a smile.

In reality, his entire body's muscles were already as tense as they could possibly be!

……

"Student Ye Bai, don't lose!"

"If you win, half of the Saint-level Talent Treatment will be secured!"

There were also instructors like Haiboxi.

Wang Xiaopang and his father from the Treasure Pavilion.

Jiang Renyi at the hospital.

……

"Ye Bai..."

"Heh."

Even Yang Hai, who had planned everything long ago, was watching this battle at this moment.

……

"You surnamed Ye, you should die!"

In Haicheng, Bu Chi Xiang Cai's eyes were filled with excitement.

Even Ye Sanjian, after learning the news.

Was now sitting quietly cross-legged in front of the screen.

His gaze flickered, not knowing what he was thinking!

……

Attention from all directions!

Everyone was looking forward to the result of the battle between Ye Bai and Shangguan Yijian!

However.

On the arena.

Although the battle could have been declared started the moment Ye Bai and Shangguan Yijian were sent to the arena.

Neither of them made a move immediately.

Ye Bai was because he had been teleported up instantly, his Mental Power hadn't spread out yet, and his "Divine Sense" would take some time to unfold.

On Shangguan Yijian's face, a ferocious grin appeared immediately.

"Ye Bai, long time no see."

"I really didn't expect that one day, an ant-like person such as you could actually stand before me so openly!"

He was too excited!

The first Ranking Tournament, the second, and the First Stage of the Ladder Tournament.

He felt he had suffered far too much grievance!

How could Ye Bai, someone from a mere bottom-tier background, dare to challenge his authority?

"You still have one last chance, surrender."

"Otherwise, once the battle starts, I will let you know what cruelty is!"

"Oh, no, wait. If you can be like you were when we were kids, I might consider going a little easier on you!"

Shangguan Yijian's words once again stirred up memories from the depths of his mind.

School bullying!

At that time, although he had recently experienced the disappearance of his parents, because of Qin Churan's guidance and concern, he had managed to pull himself out of the grief after a few months and chose to face everything with an optimistic and cheerful attitude.

Then, because of the values cultivated in his previous life and knowing his parents' expectations for him to simply live a peaceful life, he initially had no great interest in practicing Martial Dao, just attending classes and practicing the Sixth Set of Basic Martial Dao Calisthenics like the other students.

Until Shangguan Yijian, the class bully, couldn't stand his constant smiling face and came for him!

Beatings!

Ostracization!

Leading all the students to call him a bastard with no father or mother!

The most excessive time was when they used the excuse that he was an orphan and couldn't possibly have any money on him.

They slandered him as a thief! Claiming he stole money from Shangguan Yijian!

Not only did they demand he pay back five hundred yuan, but they also made him admit he was wrong to Shangguan Yijian in front of all the students and teachers, and beg Shangguan Yijian for forgiveness!

These things happened within the span of a single week!

Yet at that time, Ye Bai, despite fighting with his life on the line, still couldn't beat Shangguan Yijian, who had received excellent Martial Dao training since childhood...

Ye Bai never told Qin Churan about these matters, and the compensation money was taken from the six-hundred-yuan secret stash he had saved before his parents went missing.

Because Qin Churan was already exhausted enough just taking care of his daily life outside of work.

He realized back then the truth that this is a Martial Dao world, where one will only be bullied without strength.

If you want to live a peaceful life, you must possess the strength that makes others afraid to provoke you!

And so, from then on, the top student among his peers, the "good child" in the mouths of the neighbors, was born.

But unfortunately, Shangguan Yijian transferred schools before that semester ended, and Ye Bai lost the chance to take direct revenge on Shangguan Yijian!

Until he learned the news of the Ladder Tournament!

Until today!

Therefore.

Ye Bai looked at the ferocious-looking Shangguan Yijian and did not answer what the other party said.

The moment his Mental Power covered the entire arena, he moved!

He moved!

"Boom!"

Blood Mist filled his body, Blood Armor Attachment!

The Seven Star Heavenly Dipper Steps were stepped out in an instant.

In less than a blink of an eye, he displaced hundreds of meters and appeared above Shangguan Yijian's head!

Then, he thrust out with his spear!

A spear strike fast to the extreme, Moon-Breaking!
