"When we were mining, we were headed towards the north. But recently, when we were mining the Pyroxene in the north, we encountered a very large Pyroxene blocking the mining road. The workers then felt an abnormal scorching feeling coming from the back of the Pyroxene." Ye Hu continued, "I already told them to mine in the south, but there's no mining in the north for now."

"Yes, father. When the Large Competition is over, let's go and see what's going on." Ye Xingchen said.

Ye Xingchen also felt that something was amiss, but the most important thing to do right now was to get first place in the Heavenly River Town competition, so he decided to not check it out.

After Ye Xingchen asked about the properties of the Ye Family, he returned to his own room to rest.

During this period of time, Xiao Shi's strength had also increased by leaps and bounds. He was soaked in Spring of Life every day, and the little lion, who was already a level nine Demonic Beast, was about to break through to the Postnatal Stage.

Normally, Demonic Beast required Grandmaster Stage to be able to transform, so the little lion's transformation had to be carried out at a certain point.

That's right, above Ninth Level of Body Refinement was Postnatal Stage, above Postnatal Stage was Congenital Stage, and above Congenital Stage was that powerful Grandmaster Stage.

Even if it was Heavenly River Town, there was only one Grandmaster Stage expert, and that was Heavenly River Town Branch President Hong Changtian.

Ye Yuanshan and the rest were just Congenital Stage, one could imagine how strong the Grandmaster Stage Expert was.

It was simply impossible for an ordinary person to break through to the Grandmaster Stage realm. Only those extremely talented people would be able to do so.

In the night, Ye Xingchen conversed with Xiao Shi for a while before he went to sleep.

The next day, Ye Xingchen woke up as the sun rose above the horizon.

After having breakfast with the clan higher ups, he was led down to the Astral River Plaza by Ye Yuanshan.

Right now, Ye Xingchen had a very high position in the Ye Family, so he was also eating with Ye Yuanshan and the others.

Today was Ye Bai against Bai Xiaoyue. Although Ye Xingchen had never fought with Ye Xingchen before, he felt that Ye Bai should not be Bai Xiaoyue's match. Bai Xiaoyue had already reached the Peak of Lesser Heaven Stage but Ye Bai was only at the early stage of the Postnatal Stage.

Although Ye Xingchen had obtained many Spiritual Pill s to cultivate, the difference in realm was not something that could be easily bridged.

Soon enough, everyone from Ye Family arrived at the Heavenly River Town Plaza. At this moment, the entire plaza was overcrowded.

Ye Yuanshan sat on the platform, and Ye Xingchen and the rest sat in the area that belonged to the Ye Family people, under Ye Hu's lead.

Very quickly, the people from the Bai Family arrived at the plaza, followed closely by the people from the Heavenly Profound Chamber of Commerce Branch.

Everyone was discussing why the people of Li Family did not appear, and only Bai Haotian, who was seated on the main platform, knew clearly.

Yesterday, Ye Xingchen and Li Liyun's match, had directly injured Li Liyun. Li Hongyuan was taking care of Li Liyun at home, and Li Hongyuan felt very embarrassed, so he wasn't willing to come.

Elder Gu Tianhe had also arrived. This elder's face was glowing red and his face was full of smiles. Looking at the restless crowd in the plaza, he walked up the Arms Drill Platform with squinted eyes.

"Everyone, be quiet. Today is the second match of the first round, which is Ye Bai against Bai Xiaoyue. Please come on stage." After Gu Tianhe finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Bai and Bai Xiaoyue.

Bai Xiaoyue was still as ice-cold as ever. Only, his ice-cold eyes glanced once at Ye Xingchen, who was in the Ye Family region, and then, he walked towards the Arms Drill Platform region.

"Ye Bai, do your best!" Just as Ye Bai was about to get up and get on stage, Ye Xingchen spoke to Ye Bai with encouragement.

Ye Bai nodded heavily, then walked over to the Arms Drill Platform.

On the Arms Drill Platform, both of them wore white clothes, and the feeling Ye Bai gave was extremely warm, while Bai Xiaoyue gave off was wild and ice-cold feeling.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoyue looked at Ye Bai with disdain as he mockingly said, "You're not my opponent. To defeat you, I don't even need to use my full strength."

Ye Bai was not angered by that, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Really? Then let me witness just how strong the strongest practitioner of Heavenly River Town young generation is. "

Bai Family and Ye Family should have had some enmity in the beginning, but this time, because of the concealment of Bai Family, Bai Xiaoyue had already accumulated a stomach full of resentment, and wanted to release them in this competition. Although his target was Ye Xingchen, it was still a type of warning to his Ye Family to beat Ye Bai in advance.

"Hmph, in a while, don't beg me to show mercy. I will definitely not show mercy." Bai Xiaoyue continued, he wanted to enrage Ye Bai.

"Bai Xiaoyue, could it be that the title of number one among the Heavenly River Town young generation is obtained through your mouth?" Although he knew that he was no match for Bai Xiaoyue, as a person with Ye Family, he would not be afraid.

Failure was not scary. What was scary was not having the courage to admit defeat.

"Ye Bai, you deserve to die. I'll let you know the consequences of angering me." Bai Xiaoyue's expression changed as he asked sternly.

"Humph, we'll see." Ye Baifeng said calmly.

"This is the first place in the friendly battle, as well as the second place in the competition. You can't deliberately kill him, and you can't have killing intent in your heart either. You just need to touch him." Gu Tianhe glanced at the two of them, and said, "Let the match begin." With that, he walked to the podium.

The most surprising thing was that Bai Haotian did not attack Ye Yuanshan, but only watched his grandson quietly.

On the Arms Drill Platform, two heaven-shaking imposing auras instantly exploded, staring straight at each other.

However, everyone present had a clear feeling, that Ye Bai's aura was not even as strong as Bai Xiaoyue's.

The two auras stood opposite each other, a spear suddenly appeared in Ye Xingchen's hand, he was preparing to unleash his strongest technique, the Reincarnation Spear.

That's right, it was the first class Ye Family technique, the Reincarnation Spear. A while ago, when Ye Bai broke through to the Postnatal Stage, the Ye Family gave it to him.

Bai Xiaoyue, on the other hand, faced Ye Bai with his bare hands. He was confident that he wouldn't need a weapon to defeat Ye Bai.

"Ye Bai, I will let you know the difference between the early stage of Postnatal Stage and Peak of Lesser Heaven Stage." The Spiritual Strength around Bai Xiaoyue's body suddenly changed, and squeezed towards Ye Bai along with the air.

"Even if I lose, I won't let you defeat me so easily." A serious look appeared on Ye Bai's face as he tightened his grip on the long spear in his hands, entering a battle-ready state.

"Snowfall Palm." Bai Xiaoyue moved, his entire body seemed to have merged into the air, as he stretched out his right palm and struck at the air, in the midst of the air, a gigantic palm image appeared.

This was the Bai Family of the Floating Snow Palm. Bai Xiaoyue was underestimating Ye Bai by using his Second-rate Cultivation Technique.

"Reincarnation Spear." Ye Bai felt the pressure from the palm in the air, and suddenly activated the Spiritual Strength in his Dantian, continuously gathering at the top of the long spear, and finally at the tip of the spear. When the concentration of the Spiritual Strength reached its peak, he suddenly waved the spear, and thrusted it towards the gigantic palm in the air.

"Boom …" With a sound, the huge palm shadow clashed with the long spear, forcing Ye Bai to take a few steps back before he managed to stabilize his body, while Bai Xiaoyue stood motionlessly at his original position.

When the dust finally settled, everyone saw the two of them standing on the Arms Drill Platform unscathed. They were extremely curious as to just who had suffered a loss just now.

"Hehe, I admit that I have underestimated you. Next up, I will not show any more mercy." Bai Xiaoyue was a little displeased, he actually did not defeat Ye Bai in one move, which made him very angry.

"Anyone can brag." Ye Bai continued to retort with a sharp tone.

"Snow Wind Palm." Suddenly, without any warning, Bai Xiaoyue struck out with his palm, his entire being followed closely behind the palm in the air, he wanted to finish the battle quickly.

Snow Wind Palm was a first-rate technique in the Bai Family. Although there was a difference of one word between it and the Snowfall Palm, there was still a huge difference in power.

"Reincarnation Spear, fuse three spears together." Ye Bai also displayed his strongest move. The fusion of the three moves of the Reincarnation Spear was comparable to a top tier cultivation technique.

"Boom …" The golden spear light bombarded against the palm image. The palm image continuously consumed the golden spear light, and slowly, the golden spear light was completely exhausted.

Right after Ye Bai's Reincarnation Spear had been broken apart, Ye Bai who had not had the time to retreat, suddenly realized that Bai Xiaoyue, who was right behind him, had appeared in front of him.

"Boom …" Ye Bai was instantly blasted out of his Arms Drill Platform. He fell to the ground, spitting blood and turning pale.

"Ye Bai …" The disciples of Ye Family shouted worriedly, then ran over and dragged Ye Bai back.

But Bai Xiaoyue, who was on the other side of the Arms Drill Platform, was extremely arrogant as he looked at Ye Bai, and disdainfully said. "You don't know your place.

Hearing his words, everyone from the Ye Family could not hold it in anymore. They wanted to go up the Arms Drill Platform to argue with Bai Xiaoyue, but they were stopped by him.

"Don't be impulsive, he is purposely provoking us." Ye Xingchen said in a low voice.

He placed his hand on Ye Bai's pulse, checked Ye Bai's injuries, it was not life-threatening, but Bai Xiaoyue's palm strike just now was too ruthless, it broke three of Ye Bai's ribs, and he would have to stay in bed for at least three months before he could fully recover.

"Bai Xiaoyue wins." Although Gu Tianhe was a little dissatisfied with Bai Xiaoyue, he did not say anything and announced the outcome.

"Tomorrow, the second round of the competition will begin. The second round will also have three people, and the three will have to fight in pairs. In the round-robin tournament, the three participants are invited to come up and draw lots." Gu Tianhe continued.

Although Ye Yuanshan was a little angry, he endured it. She glanced at Bai Haotian and shook his head helplessly.

Although Chen Xuetu did not come to watch the competition today, it did not affect the drawing of lots. After Ye Xingchen and Bai Xiaoyue finished drawing, the only thing that remained was Chen Xuetu's.

Very quickly, the results of the drawing of lots were out. Ye Xingchen's first lot, Bai Xiaoyue's second lot, and the only thing left was Chen Xuetu's third lot.

Number one against number two, number two against number three, number three against number one.

Everyone could already imagine that tomorrow's match would definitely be extremely exciting.
