Chapter 862: Chapter 862

It's important to note that Huan Er was still by his side. It would be extremely embarrassing if he couldn't handle Ding Fan in front of the younger generation.

Immediately, Ye Tianshi fiercely channeled his Inner Strength into his wrist, intending to shake Ding Fan off.

However, being cautious of seriously injuring Ding Fan, Ye Tianshi only used less than fifth of his strength, which was already quite formidable. A Heavenly Level Peak Martial Artist using half of his power could completely annihilate a group of Heavenly Level Martial Artists.

But to Ye Tianshi's surprise, after injecting his Inner Strength, Ding Fan, who was holding his wrist, was not shaken off. At that moment, Ding Fan maintained a calm demeanor, seemingly unfazed by Ye Tianshi's half strength.

While Ye Tianshi maintained a calm exterior, a storm brewed within him.

It should be noted that it had been no more than a month since he and Ding Fan parted ways, and in such a short time, Ding Fan had already managed to withstand his fifth level of power!

Previously, Ding Fan could barely withstand about three or four levels of his power…

Ye Tianshi felt a wave of admiration in his heart, Ding Fan's speed of improvement was truly monstrous, facing his fifth level of power without any issue.

Though surprised, he increased his strength once more.

Now, with Ding Fan controlling his wrist in front of the younger generation, if he couldn't shake Ding Fan off today, it would be a huge loss of face for him.

Boom… Ye Tianshi increased his power to the sixth level.

Yet, facing Ye Tianshi's sixth level of power, Ding Fan still maintained a calm face. Ye Tianshi frowned and then directly ramped up his force to the eighth level.

A Heavenly Level Peak Martial Artist, with an eighth level of power, could split mountains and break steles. When Ye Tianshi used the eighth level of power, he was somewhat worried as he watched Ding Fan, fearing he might accidentally hurt him.

However, to Ye Tianshi's astonishment, Ding Fan remained unfazed, even against his eighth level of power.

"How... how is it possible?"

That was the eighth level of power! In the Secular World, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he last used such a level of power against an enemy.

Even if Ding Fan's progress was monstrous, it shouldn't be possible for him to withstand his eighth level of power all of a sudden!

At this point, Ye Tianshi was no longer thinking about disciplining Ding Fan, instead, he wanted to probe just how much power Ding Fan could endure.

Boom… At this moment, Ye Tianshi once again increased his power.

Ninth level, ninth level of power.

Ye Tianshi's eyes did not dare to stray from Ding Fan. "Kid, it's better not to force yourself if you can't withstand it, else it could get ugly for you."

This was also considered a kind-hearted reminder from Ye Tianshi. A ninth level of Inner Strength from a Heavenly Level Peak Martial Artist, that was indeed a terrifying existence; he was genuinely worried that Ding Fan might force himself too much and end up internally injured.

"Use whatever skills you have at your disposal," Ding Fan spoke indifferently. "I have no problems."

Ding Fan spoke slowly and steadily, clearly showing that he wasn't just stubbornly resisting.

Could it really be that he's unaffected by the ninth level?

Ye Tianshi pondered for a moment, then he held nothing back and released all his Inner Strength.

Tenth level! Tenth level of Inner Strength from a Heavenly Level Peak Martial Artist! Get full chapters from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

In an instant, a blast of wind emanated from the two men as the center, sweeping everything around them to the corners, including the curtains and teapot cloth.

"Kid. How about it, can't withstand it now, can you?" Ye Tianshi said. "If you can't withstand it, you better shout out, otherwise your death has nothing to do with me."

Ding Fan indifferently replied, "It seems this should be all of your strength, now it's my turn."

Huh? Ye Tianshi was taken aback.

Could it be that from the beginning until now, Ding Fan hadn't been using his full strength?

Thinking this, Ye Tianshi hurriedly shook his head. It was impossible, considering that less than a month ago, Ding Fan had been ferociously beaten up by him. Even if Ding Fan was monstrous, and his improvement speed fast, it shouldn't be possible for him to surpass his own cultivation all at once.

While Ye Tianshi was lost in his thoughts, Ding Fan, holding Ye Tianshi's right hand, suddenly exerted force.

Suddenly, a formidable power overwhelming enveloped him.

Suddenly, Ye Tianshi felt a strong gripping force on his wrist.

Ye Tianshi's face involuntarily changed color; from his hundreds of years of combat experience, Ding Fan's current gripping strength was terrifying. If he didn't give his all, his own wrist might be directly crushed by the opponent.

Ye Tianshi had no time to think of anything else; he hurriedly drove his Inner Strength, continuously resisting Ding Fan's gripping force.

Seeing that Ye Tianshi was holding on, Ding Fan then increased his force again.

In an instant, Ye Tianshi felt as if his wrist was being crushed by a mountain, the immense pressure made him even doubt whether his wrist might be snapped in the next moment.

Ye Tianshi's face turned beet red, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Mu Zi and Huan Er, standing by, looked at each other as they witnessed the scene. They naturally did not understand what had transpired between the two before, nor could they comprehend a Heavenly Level Peak inner strength duel at their current level of understanding.

However, from the expressions of Ding Fan and Ye Tianshi, they could roughly guess that it must be Ding Fan who currently had the upper hand.

At this moment, Ye Tianshi's forehead was already covered in sweat, and he was considering begging for mercy, as he really was at the end of his tether, and continuing would surely result in his wrist being crushed.

But in front of Huan Er, he could not bring himself to speak, as Ye Tianshi, after all, was a person of Grandmaster level stature.

Just as Ye Tianshi was considering his options, Ding Fan instead straightforwardly released his grip on Ye Tianshi's wrist.

The immense pressure on Ye Tianshi's wrist suddenly vanished.

Though Ye Tianshi was domineering, he hadn't really done anything to harm Ding Fan. Ye Tianshi wanted Ding Fan to become his disciple because of his daughter, and Ding Fan did not really harbor any hatred towards Ye Tianshi.

Thus, in front of Huan Er, Ding Fan gave Ye Tianshi some face.

As the force on his wrist dissipated, Ye Tianshi almost fell on his rear. Fortunately, there was a table by his side that spared him from embarrassment.

At this time, Ye Tianshi looked at Ding Fan as if he were a monster.

"It's impossible... Absolutely impossible!"

Ye Tianshi truly could not understand how Ding Fan could have improved so much in less than a month. Previously, he could easily crush Ding Fan, and so soon after, Ding Fan's cultivation had already surpassed his own.

One must know that after reaching the Heavenly Grade, improving each stage is extremely difficult, especially after the Fifth Grade of Heavenly level; without several decades, advancing is nearly impossible.

Ye Tianshi, now four to five hundred years old, only possessed Peak Earth Level cultivation. But how old was Ding Fan? At most, he was but twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

At Ding Fan's age, Ye Tianshi probably wasn't even an Earth Level Martial Artist yet, but now Ding Fan actually possessed strength surpassing the Heavenly Level Peak.

As Ye Tianshi himself said, it was utterly unreasonable. Even with rapid progress, it couldn't possibly be this dramatic in just a month!

How could Ye Tianshi know.

During this time, Ding Fan had inherited teachings from Wen Yizhou, and in addition, he obtained the Thunderstone. Consequently, his dantian transformed, producing a Golden Core...

If Ding Fan truly wanted to kill him, Ye Tianshi now, it wouldn't be a difficult task at all.

"Senior Ye, you came personally to visit me, so there must be something important. But with your age, bullying a young girl doesn't quite match your status," Ding Fan said to Ye Tianshi, who was standing aside.

What Ding Fan referred to was, of course, Mu Zi.

When Ding Fan opened the door, he could clearly hear that Mu Zi's voice had changed, suggesting that she must have been frightened.

"How could I bully her? It would be okay if she did not bully me," Ye Tianshi grumbled as he walked back to the living room and pulled up a chair to sit down.

Ding Fan glanced around the living room, noting several areas that were burned or struck by lightning.

"I told this little fairy that I was here to see you. She acted cool, and then came the Fireball Talismans and Mysterious Thunder Talismans. If my cultivation weren't sufficient, I would have been plotted against by this fairy," Ye Tianshi said as he gestured to the remnants in the living room.

"Master Ding, Mu Zi really wasn't mistreated, it's just that Senior Ye was too domineering when he arrived, which caused a misunderstanding," Huan Er chimed in at the moment.

Ding Fan turned to look at Mu Zi, who said nonchalantly, "When he came, he accused you of hiding Ding Fan somewhere. I naturally thought he was a bad person, which is why I greeted him with Mysterious Thunder Talismans and Fireball Talismans."

These Fireball Talismans and Thunder Talismans were meant by Ding Fan for Mu Zi's self-defense, and Ding Fan did not expect that they would all end up welcoming Ye Tianshi.

"Eventually, I had no choice but to claim that she was harboring ulterior motives, and that I would behead her once you returned. Only then did she settle down," Ye Tianshi said with some helplessness.

At this moment, Mu Zi rolled her eyes at Ye Tianshi.

Seeing Mu Zi's reaction, Ding Fan couldn't help but smile. But then again, considering Mu Zi's personality, she was usually the one bullying others, so when could others bully her?

"Senior Ye, what brings you here to find me?" Ding Fan asked as he sat down on the sofa across from Ye Tianshi.

"What else could it be for, if not the Divine Power Herb," Ye Tianshi stated straightforwardly.

"I suppose Sister Huan Er must have told you back home that the Immortal Sect's selection on Serpent Island was abruptly halted, and all the people from the Immortal Sect have withdrawn back to the Immortal Realm. I really am unable to help you get the Divine Power Herb now," Ding Fan spoke truthfully.

"I've heard about the situation on Serpent Island, but the path to the Immortal Realm isn't only through Serpent Island; I know of another. We could actually use that to enter the Immortal Realm," Ye Tianshi said.

Ding Fan smiled. "Are you thinking of taking me into the Immortal Realm through there?"

Ye Tianshi nodded. "I've spoken to Huan Er; you're already preparing for the final battle. If you enter the Immortal Sect, they have no reason to refuse you."

Ding Fan could see that Ye Tianshi was really anxious, possibly because Linger's injuries on the Cold Jade Bed had worsened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of directly taking him to the Immortal Sect.

"I'm not free," Ding Fan said plainly.

Ding Fan still had his own matters to attend to, with Zhou Ruoran having been captured by people from the Upper Xuan Sect. He needed to rescue her from the Upper Xuan Sect; he had no time to visit the Immortal Sect…
