Chapter 2111: Can You Count to Three?
ked out tremblingly. It was Pang Bo, the head of the Pang family."I am Pang Bo, the head of the Pang family," said Pang Bo. "Mr. Ye, this matter is entirely the doing of Pang Zilon alone and has nothi..."Yes, Your Majesty."
Of course Zhang He couldn't refuse the Emperor's request. With a wave of his hand, three orbs—one white and two black—hovered in mid-air.
Tuo Ba Hongyi reached out his hand, and three orbs came before him. He then wrapped them in his true essence power and shuffled their order.
"Alright, you guys draw lots."
Tuobaye's purpose for participating was to show his father his skills. He naturally wouldn't fall behind at this moment, the first one to go up and touch a ball was him, followed by Gadina.
Ye Bufan didn't know if the old man had begun to suspect Zhang He or if he had suddenly developed an interest, but regardless, this gamble was going to be drawn.
He strode forward and took the last ball.
The draw was over, and Tuo Ba Hong Yi waved his hand to withdraw his true essence, revealing the true appearance of three spheres.
The scene was filled with gasps of astonishment. In Tuo Ba Yang's hand lay a white sphere, while the remaining two black spheres were held by Ga Zhi Na and Ye Bu Fan respectively.
"This guy's luck is finally over..."
"I thought he could just lie down and win the final championship..."
"Haha, this time I'm finally going to see him take action. I wonder what his cultivation level is like, hope he doesn't disappoint me..."
The onlookers around naturally wouldn't overthink it, each and every one of them was incredibly excited, all looking forward to seeing what this young man could do.
The draw was complete, and Tuo Bái Hóngyì returned to his own position, handing the sword-testing platform back to the judge.
Ye Bufan and the other person walked onto the sword-testing platform, facing each other. They stared at each other.
Garina sized him up and down, then burst into a peal of laughter like silver bells.
"You're one lucky guy, you know You got here without even lifting a finger."
Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "This isn't luck, it's because of my strength."
He was very clear about why he was standing here, why he could make it into the top three. To outsiders, it seemed like luck, but in fact, it was due to his own strength.
If it weren't for their own pills, Lu Xue Man, Hu Yao Yao and others wouldn't have improved their strength so quickly. The Tian Feng Empire also wouldn't have easily stood out in the group battle, and Jiang Fang Zhou wouldn't have had a chance to defeat Hai Cheng Gong.
If it weren't for his own skill, Liu Yijian wouldn't have let things go so easily, letting himself win effortlessly.
If one could not personally refine the Heaven-Mending Pill, they probably wouldn't have been so lucky to draw such a favorable sign from Zhang He.
So his ability to place in the top three was due to this invisible, underlying strength, not luck.
Of course, these things are unknown to others, only he himself knows.
As such, as soon as the words left his mouth, a chorus of laughter erupted from the crowd, who thought he was joking.
"Garina shook her head again: "I don't think so. I just think you're a lucky fool."
Ye Bufan said with a chuckle, "Lucky How did you know I'm not bright I'm very smart. Everyone praised me for being clever and quick-witted since I was young."
"Smart, are you I think you're just an idiot."
Garina said disdainfully, "You just saw me use poison to knock out the Princess. Now you're still talking so much to me Aren't you stupid"
Everyone around gasped in shock, it was obvious the woman had started using poison again.
Garina's poison is incredibly potent, as you all just witnessed. Even someone as powerful as Tuoba Shuang couldn't resist it. This man, who is only at the Nascent Soul stage, has no chance whatsoever.
Before, I didn't need to take action. Now, even if I want to take action, there is no chance.
Yet Ye Bufan didn't seem to care at all, as if he hadn't heard anything. He continued smiling and said, "It's nothing, I naturally can't ignore a beautiful woman speaking. It's politeness, not foolishness."
Garina smiled even more disdainfully, feeling that facing such a person, she didn't even need to speak more.
She held out her hand again and began to count: "One, two, three..."
Seeing the timer start again, everyone around became tense. Last time, Tubo Shuang collapsed right at the count of three.
When Gagarina counted to three, the room was silent. Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the young man on stage.
Ye Bufan was still calm, with a faint smile on his lips.
Garina's three spells had been exhausted, yet she remained standing, completely unchanged.
"This…"
Everyone looked astonished, confused about what was happening.
Especially Gana herself, she has absolute confidence in her poisonous methods. She has never failed since her debut. So how could she suddenly fail today
"What's wrong Why did it suddenly stop Do you only know how to count to three It seems your intelligence isn't very high. Since that's the case, I, a smart person, will teach you."
Ye Bufan wore a mischievous expression on his face, then continued counting, "Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten..."
When he reached twenty, he suddenly stopped and said, "You're so stupid, am I teaching you too much I feel like you can only count to five at most."
After he finished speaking, the people present couldn't help but burst into laughter despite their shock.
Garina's expression changed. She relied on her poisonous skills, and everyone kept their distance from her out of respect, never imagining that someone would dare to mock her like this one day.
"You're asking for it, kid!"
Enraged, she waved her hand, and a cloud of black mist appeared before her.
This clump of black mist was unlike ordinary fog; it condensed and refused to dissipate, as if it were alive. Then, it swiftly rolled over.
Yet, Ye Bufan seemed to see nothing, remaining motionless where he stood.
Tuoba Yang's face twisted into a sneer. "This kid dares to be so arrogant in front of Gadina He'll probably be poisoned to death before long."
Gara'na's homeland, the Kingdom of Wusun, was a small country with few powerful individuals. However, no one dared to provoke them because they relied on poisons and sorcery.
Even facing the black mist, he would first try to dodge it. But the other party ignored him completely, appearing to have no regard for his own life in his eyes.
Seeing the black mist engulf Ye Bufan's body, Gadina also laughed.
"Boy, this black mist is condensed from the toxins of a hundred poisonous insects. You can last at most ten breaths. By then, if you still don't concede, even the gods can't save you."
Then she turned her head to look at the referee beside her, "I've given him a chance. If he doesn't admit defeat and insists on being poisoned, then it's not my fault..."
She had absolute confidence in her own poison mist, but just as she said this, her expression suddenly changed. The gray mist enveloping Ye Bufan gradually faded until it disappeared.
But the young man still stood there, grinning as if nothing had happened. There wasn't a hint of poisoning about him.
"You... you... how did you do that"
Gargarin's face was full of horror, as if he had seen a monster.
She was so shocked because she didn't understand why Ye Bufan wasn't afraid of her poison, and she couldn't figure out how he made the poison disappear.A hint of triumph appeared on Wu Chenggang's face, and then with a slight tightening of his two fingers, there was a snap. The sword was forcibly broken into two pieces.Then Ye Bufan's figure was shak...
