Chapter 1273 - 1373: Silent Solution

"It seems Elder Ren Tian didn't use any deadly moves but only used trapping techniques," Ye Tianfan observed after looking around, confirming his thoughts. After all, a real Array is meant to kill enemies inside or defend against enemies outside.

Actually, Ye Tianfan only needed to communicate with the Chaos Divine Pearl to break this Array, considering within the Chaos Divine Pearl, Ye Tianfan is akin to the heavens, allowing nearly all his actions to be realized!

Even if Ye Tianfan wanted to create a Supreme Magical Treasure within the Chaos Divine Pearl, it was entirely possible, but it could only be used inside the Pearl. In the outside world, it wouldn't be recognized; even if Ye Tianfan brought the treasure outside, it might not even maintain its shape!

Ye Tianfan did not want to leave so early; he still wanted to discover what exactly was inside. Thus, he began to observe while in this pit.

After a week of observation, Ye Tianfan found that nothing he did here had any effect. Even if he tried to destroy something, it would immediately restore itself.

This left Ye Tianfan without any leads, and even when he wanted to leave the pit, the pit would grow higher as Ye Tianfan climbed or flew, making him a bit frustrated. However, his curiosity kept his frustration in check as he continued his exploration.

Time passed uncertainly, and Ye Tianfan grew somewhat impatient. No matter how he climbed or destroyed, he couldn't get out, and he estimated that he had been observing and destroying for at least an hour. He didn't know how much time had passed in the real world, which made Ye Tianfan somewhat annoyed because he really had no other solutions!

What's this? Trying to make me die alone? Or what? There wasn't even anyone else around to drive someone mad!

Yet before Ye Tianfan could work out an answer, he noticed the things before him changing again.

What's going on? I haven't even figured anything out yet!

What does this mean? Am I not allowed to study it? Cutting me off halfway through the research, who could stand that?

Suddenly, Ye Tianfan found himself back on the platform, utterly dumbfounded. He hadn't used the Chaos Divine Pearl, so how did he get back here?

Then he saw Elder Ren Tian across from him, also bewildered, before he decisively surrendered!

"Why surrender?" Ye Tianfan was completely dumbfounded at this point, not knowing what was happening or why the situation was as it was.

But before Ye Tianfan could ask, Elder Ren Tian spoke from across the stage!

"I didn't expect you could break my Twelve Grade Earth Lotus Array; breaking my Lifebound Array. Since we aren't fighting to the death, I surrender and consider it your reward for breaking my array!" Ren Tian provided a perfectly reasonable explanation.

"..."

Ye Tianfan was still baffled because he didn't even know he had broken the Array, much less how he did it. He was still very bewildered by everything!

However, Ye Tianfan vaguely felt it had something to do with the Chaos Divine Pearl. Even if he hadn't used it consciously, he was sure there was a connection!

Otherwise, Ye Tianfan wouldn't have just broken it like that because he still wanted to experience what kind of magic power could leave him without a clue. But since he was already out and Elder Ren Tian surrendered, Ye Tianfan didn't dwell on it further; after all, the result was already out, so what else was there to do?

Ye Tianfan's first-round match abruptly ended just like that.

Ye Tianfan returned to the viewing platform, and as soon as he arrived, he heard Master Taichu joyfully say, "Nephew Tianfan, go to the drawing lots area and draw your second-round lot there."

"Second-round lot? Wasn't it said before that we should fight directly using the largest and smallest remaining lots, without drawing lots?"

"It's changed now because we found the previous method a bit unfair for some people!" Master Taichu somewhat helplessly explained, saying it was the request of several Sect Leaders with worse luck. They found their disciples faced tough opponents in the first round, and even if they were lucky enough to win, they would still meet opponents of high strength in the second round. Although the first-round results weren't finalized, those possible opponents were very strong!

"Yes, Sect Leader!" After speaking, Ye Tianfan turned and flew to the place where the lots were drawn before.

After Ye Tianfan finished drawing his lot and returned to the platform, he saw Senior Brother Yun Tian and Bai Feng had already returned.

Though Ye Tianfan already knew the result, he still asked who won. Yun Tian Senior Brother smiled while Bai Feng looked helpless.

"Junior Brother Tianfan, what number did you draw?" Senior Brother Yun Tian, seeing Ye Tianfan, didn't answer his question since the answer was obvious. He put on a strange smile, asking Ye Tianfan instead.

It wasn't that Senior Brother Yun Tian didn't want to smile, but he really couldn't because his defeated opponent was right beside him. If he smiled now, Bai Feng would definitely think he was being ridiculed, even though Yun Tian didn't intend that, which Bai Feng would certainly believe as he just lost!

"Senior Brother Yun Tian, I drew number one hundred and twenty-eight, the very last number!" Ye Tianfan said somewhat speechlessly, as drawing the last number couldn't have been more awkward. Even if this number represented luck, Ye Tianfan found his luck a bit baffling!

"Good, then. I'm number eighty-three; we won't meet." After finishing, Senior Brother Yun Tian turned to watch the Martial Arts Center stage because he knew that if they continued discussing the competition, Bai Feng would feel uncomfortable since he lost!

Ye Tianfan had just been standing for a short time, and the battles on the stage were already gradually concluding. This wasn't a life-and-death battle, so everyone approached it with a "if you can gain an advantage, take it; if not, surrender quickly to avoid harm" mentality, making the battles end very quickly!

Thus, shortly after, there weren't many people left on stage, and Ye Tianfan and Senior Brother Yun Tian prepared themselves. After all, when the current battles ended, it would be time for the second round!
