self wouldn't dare to come here and cause trouble. Besides, he's just the son of one of my men. Stop talking nonsense and get down on your knees!"Under Ma Jiuyé's might, Yang Xu didn't dare hesitate a...Ye Bufan secretly put away the spirit beast bottle in his sleeve. He naturally wouldn't tell the other party about his secret, and smiled, "If that's all you've got, why don't you just admit defeat!"

"You're dreaming!"

Gariyna steadied her mind, and with a stretch of her right hand, a beetle the size of an egg suddenly appeared in her palm.

This bug is blood red all over, with a pointed head and jet-black eyes that gleam menacingly. Its mouth protrudes a pair of huge teeth, giving it an extremely ferocious appearance.

"This is a gu worm, it looks so powerful..."

"I heard that this thing can directly drill into the human body, making you unable to live or die. I don't know if it's true or not…"

"Need I say more It's definitely true. Poison and sorcery are the two great skills of the Wusun people. This young man must have been…"

Many of the people present were seeing a centipede for the first time, and they were both nervous and excited, discussing it nonstop.

"A sneer curled the corner of Tubaye's lips: 'This boy is quite capable to make Gadzina use insects, but he is doomed this time.'"

Tuoba Shuang remained silent, only watching the stage with keen interest, wanting to see how Ye Bufan would handle this kind of creature.

"This is what you get for messing with me. Taste the power of my blood curse!"

After Gadana finished speaking, her wrist shook. The bug instantly vanished from her palm. Its speed was astonishing, almost appearing before Ye Bufan in the blink of an eye. Its sharp head directly rammed into his skin.

Normally, the creature called a worm has an instinct to penetrate and can burrow into a person's body almost instantly upon contact.

Garina had already let out a smug smirk. As long as her worm was close to its target, the opponent was basically done for.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes. The red beetle repeatedly bumped against Ye Bufan's shoulder, but failed to burrow in. Instead, it let out a series of shrill, screeching cries, as if in excruciating pain.

Finally, the insect seemed to be enraged. It opened its mouth, and two sharp teeth sank directly into the skin.

Two tiny clicking sounds were heard. The insect's two teeth in its mouth had been directly broken off.

Ye Bufan reached out with one hand, pinching the beetle between his two fingers. He said with a playful smile, "What's this thing called Bloodthirsty grub Looks like your teeth aren't very good. You lost both your teeth in just two bites."

After he finished speaking, he squeezed slightly. With a snap, the insect was instantly flattened and then flew away.

"This..."

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp in surprise. No one had expected the notorious venomous worm to be dealt with so easily.

Gadan could not help but exclaim, "Bronze skin and iron bones, are you a body refinement cultivator"

Ye Bufan remained noncommittal, saying again: "It doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is that you admit defeat quickly."

Garina's expression changed. The opponent wasn't afraid of her poison, and now the insect wouldn't enter their body, meaning both of her strongest skills were useless against them.

Over all these years, she had gained considerable combat experience, but this situation was something new.

"Kid, let me see what you've got."

Just like that, admitting defeat, Garina was certainly not resigned. Even without poison and insects, she was a cultivator at the later stage of the Refining Void Realm.

With a loud roar, he directly punched towards Ye Bufan's face.

A powerhouse from the Refining Void Realm made their move, their aura was extraordinary. A violent current swept across the sword-testing platform, causing the air to shriek with piercing sounds.

All the people present looked astonished. They hadn't expected that this woman from the Wu Sun Kingdom, besides using poison and insects, would also possess such formidable cultivation.

Before anyone could react, the formidable Gadina, who had been exuding such power just moments ago, suddenly flew backwards off the dueling platform like a kite with its string cut. With a heavy thud, she landed on the ground.

On stage, only Ye Bufan remained. At this moment, he still maintained the posture of a fist just being thrown.

"Uh..."

Although the audience present had been stimulated countless times today, they still couldn't help but be dumbfounded at this moment, their mouths wide open, unable to close for a long time.

Although there were already speculations before, everyone at Shuimu University is so powerful, as the dean Ye Bufan, he should also have extraordinary cultivation.

No one could have imagined he was so powerful, he actually blasted Garuda away with a single punch.

"My God, who just said that person was all talk and no action See this This is what a true master looks like..."

"His cultivation level has reached such a degree, he's truly worthy of being the dean of Shuimu University..."

"Damn, this is what they call making a splash, right Who said she got into the top three by luck This is pure skill…"

Everyone present was buzzing with conversation, mostly cheers and applause for Ye Bufan's performance.

Having just been defeated by Jiang Fangzhou, Hai Cheng was still somewhat unwilling to accept his loss. However, after seeing Ye Bufan's performance, his face turned extremely ugly.

If he were facing Gagarina instead, it's hard to say if he could win. Even if he ultimately won, it would definitely be a hard-fought victory, far from the effortless ease she displays.

Only then did he realize that even if he didn't lose to Jiang Fangzhou, facing Ye Bufan would be a sure disaster, and he was probably going to lose much worse.

Not only him, but also Tuo Ba Yang and his sister beside him were greatly changed.

From the beginning to now, they have never taken Ye Bufan seriously, thinking that he was just a guy who got in by luck. Being able to enter the top three was purely a stroke of fortune.

Only now have I realized how wrong I was, and how terribly wrong. This is definitely a true powerhouse.

"Eldest Brother, this guy actually has some skill. You still need to be careful later."

"Don't worry, a challenging opponent is what makes a fight interesting."

After a brief moment of shock, Tuo Ba Yang regained his previous confidence. As the eldest prince and a renowned martial arts prodigy of the Great Xing Empire, he had every right to be proud.

"As long as he's strong enough, Father will see how amazing I am. If he's too weak, he won't be of any use!"

Tuoba Shuang nodded. "My elder brother is right, we must teach this sneaky fellow a lesson later."

On the dais, Zhongli’s face broke into a smile.

"Elder Qin, you were right as always. This young one is truly a hidden gem, possessing quite impressive physical cultivation."

Qin Biyao smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a strong general has no weak soldiers. Since those under his command are so powerful, he himself must not be weak."

Lei Heng said, “The little guy is indeed good, but I think he’s still not as good as the eldest prince.”

Zhongli smiled faintly: "Who knows, we don't need to guess. We'll see the results soon enough."

Ye Bufan overwhelmingly defeated Gadzina, the referee immediately announced his victory.

Later came the last stage of the competition, and also the most anticipated match - the final battle of the rookie ranking.

The last match had no drawing of lots, and Ye Bufan and the other person stepped onto the sword-testing platform together.but he didn't know who the other party was. This made him very uncomfortable and he disliked this feeling very much.Sima Wei said again, "You still need to be more careful recently. After a string of...
