When he saw who it was, Ye Hao couldn't help but to squint his eyes. In his black eyes that were like a pool, there was a subtle fluctuation.

Although he was not familiar with Ye Tianlin, he was not unfamiliar with him.

In the past, when he was still young and had yet to break through to Tempered Body 6th Layer, when his name shook the entire Black Lake City, the number one Heaven Chosen of the Ye Clan was none other than Ye Tianlin.

At that time, Ye Tianlin could be said to be the true Kirin's Child of the Ye Clan. At the age of fourteen, he had broken through to the Sixth Layer of Body Tempering, only a year behind Ye Hao.

If Ye Hao hadn't appeared, no one would have been able to shake him.

Of course, Ye Hao's rise was too dramatic. Although he had broken through the Sixth Layer of Body Tempering at the youngest age, he had also fallen out of the divine altar in such a short period of time.

As for Ye Tianlin, he had strikingly advanced all these years. According to what Ye Hao knew, the former already had the strength of a perfect Body Tempering stage martial artist and was even able to establish his life sea. However, for some reason, he was unwilling to break through.

Because of his dazzling talent and power, the current Ye Tianlin was not only able to regain the glory of being the number one genius in the Ye Clan, but also the true number one disciple in the Ye Clan's Martial Hall.

However, Ye Hao did not have any good impressions of Ye Tianlin. It was not because he was jealous, but because Ye Hao still remembered when he had broken through to Tempered Body 6th Layer, when the whole Ye Family was shaken, Ye Tianlin's eyes were filled with cold and venom.

While his cultivation realm had regressed and everyone was looking down on him with disdain, Ye Tianlin did not conceal the ridicule and schadenfreude in his eyes.

Of course, although Ye Tianlin was very hostile towards him, but in order to maintain his status, he had not caused any trouble for him.

However, Ye Hao believed that there must be a shadow behind Ye Peng's attack.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao's gaze turned cold. He vaguely guessed that the reason Ye Tianlin had appeared here was because of Ye Peng.

In the distance, Ye Tianlin had long since noticed Ye Hao's presence. His eyes were like two cold lightning as he stared at the former indifferently. A hidden killing intent appeared in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

As for Ye Hao, he had not made any progress in the past four years, so he was no longer a threat to Ye Tianlin. Therefore, although Ye Tianlin loathed the former in his heart, he was still unwilling to make a move at this time.

After all, Chief Ye Yunfeng was also in the forest.

However, just as the killing intent in Ye Tianlin's eyes was about to disappear, Ye Hao suddenly felt a sense of danger as his blood and Qi exploded, causing his pupils to constrict.

"How is this possible!"

Ye Tianlin's mind was as though he was struck by lightning, as he stopped in his tracks, staring at the young man in front of him with disbelief. He was dressed in black, and even had a long spear in hand, his body wounded, and he looked to be in a sorry state.

"Your strength... actually recovered? " Ye Tianlin's handsome face darkened. His eyes were like lightning as he stared at Ye Hao, as if he wanted to see through him.

Hearing this, Ye Hao frowned. Just now when he felt a sense of danger, he subconsciously circulated his Qi and blood to fight. Who would have thought that it would actually be Ye Tianlin.

Ye Hao was sure that the source of that sense of danger must have come from Ye Tianlin's killing intent.

His face turned indifferent as he thought of this: "Do you think it has anything to do with me?"

Although Ye Tianlin knew about the recovery of his cultivation base, Ye Hao's heart was not affected at all. After all, he had been hiding his strength previously in order to remove Ye Peng and Ye Ying's defenses. Now that the two of them were dead, there was no point in continuing to hide it.

As for whether or not he would be the cause of death for the two of them, Ye Hao wasn't worried. The reason he chose to attack in the assessment grounds was to deceive people.

What's more … There were enemies infiltrating this examination, causing this pool of water to become even more chaotic.

"Do you know who you're talking to?" Ye Hao's attitude made Ye Tianlin's face turn ice-cold. With his innate talent, even the experts of the older generation would treat him kindly and not be so careless.

And now, a mere Ye Hao dared to be so impudent. This caused the killing intent in Ye Tianlin's heart to grow even more intense.

In Ye Tianlin's heart, he had always hated Ye Hao. Because of his extraordinary talent, he had been raised as a qilin by the Ye Family since childhood, enjoying all kinds of cultivation resources.

However, the appearance of Ye Hao that year had taken everything away from him, making him experience an unprecedented gap in power.

Although all of this happened in a very short time and Ye Hao's talent in cultivation was only fleeting, that experience was still like a thorn piercing into his heart.

Thus, when Ye Tianlin discovered that Ye Hao could cultivate once more and had such an indifferent attitude, the killing intent in his heart gradually intensified.

Logically speaking, with his current peak of the Body Tempering stage, it would be difficult for Ye Hao to pose a threat to him even if he was only at the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage.

But for some reason, when Ye Tianlin looked at the calm and indifferent face of the teenager, he felt a wave of unease.

Looking at Ye Tianlin's cold face, his clothes slowly flapping, and his aura rising, Ye Hao sneered and said: "But I've been practicing for a few more years, you sure are impressive."

With these words, a violent and powerful surge of Qi and blood also exploded from his body.

Although there was still a gap between Ye Hao and Ye Tianlin, it was impossible for Ye Hao to lower his head and give in.

"Trash is trash. Do you think you have the qualifications to be so arrogant just because you've recovered your cultivation?" Ye Tianlin's eyes were dark. A wave of extremely pure spirit energy fluctuations were like a sleeping beast as it gradually awakened within his body.

"If I can step on you once, I can step on you twice." Ye Tianlin smiled sinisterly. His gaze turned ice-cold as he looked at Ye Hao.

Sensing the rising power within the former's body, Ye Hao's expression gradually turned serious. With a body at the Great Perfection of the Body Tempering Stage, the amount of Spiritual Energy that could be used was indeed terrifying.

Compared to Ye Tianlin, the previous killer youth in Tempered Body 8th Layer was not even worth mentioning.

"Even if you have recovered your cultivation back then, in my opinion, you are still as weak as a bug." Ye Tianlin took a step forward, his clothes fluttering in the wind. The spiritual energy in his body was still constantly rising, forming an indescribable sense of pressure.

Under this terrifying pressure, it was as if a huge mountain had suddenly appeared on Ye Hao's body. Even the bones in his body emitted a creaking sound that caused one's scalp to go numb, as if they would not be able to withstand this pressure in the next moment, and would kneel down.

"Look at your appearance. Even my Spirit Pressure can't endure it. You and I, we already clearly know who are dragons and who are insects." Looking at Ye Hao trembling because of his resistance, Ye Tianlin's eyes lit up with joy.

"Heh." However, in the face of his mockery, Ye Hao clenched his teeth and let out a sneer. He said: "Compared to your strength, your acting and acting and pretending to be 'X' seems to be a little better."

The current Ye Hao had his head lowered. His back was slightly bent because of the pressure. The expression on his face could not be clearly seen. However, from his trembling body, one could tell that he was under an unimaginable pressure.

Indeed, as Ye Tianlin's aura rose, a huge pressure from his spiritual force pressured Ye Hao, causing him to feel as if he was carrying a huge mountain. Not only did he not do anything, he even opened his mouth with great difficulty.

He was very clear that Ye Tianlin's actions were all to thoroughly humiliate him.

At this moment, if it were anyone else, they would have already obediently kneeled on the ground under the frightening pressure. However, with Ye Hao's temperament, even if all the bones in his body were crushed, he would not easily yield.

How could a hot-blooded youth ever be cold?

At this moment, deep within Ye Hao's flesh, the Qi and blood that he could not control, which was resting quietly, seemed to have felt his will, which was unyielding and angry. Unexpectedly, it started to fluctuate.

The moment this fluctuation appeared, the pressure on Ye Hao's body suddenly lightened. Under Ye Tianlin's astonished gaze, that bent figure was like a javelin in a storm, gradually standing upright.

The veins on his neck were popping out as he slowly raised his head. The hair on his forehead was in disarray as he fluttered in the air. In that instant, a bright trace of blood suddenly flashed across his black eyes.

"You …" The moment he discovered this trace of Qi and blood, Ye Tianlin's pupils constricted, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

What did he see? Use the power of blood to resist the spirit energy of the world? This was unbelievable.

In the blink of an eye, the shock in Ye Tianlin's eyes receded as killing intent exploded out of him. The current Ye Hao was far beyond his expectations.

Although the former's current cultivation was only at Tempered Body 6th Layer, Ye Tianlin felt an inexplicable sense of danger from the bottom of his heart.

His intuition told him that if Ye Hao could cultivate again, he might become a huge threat to him.

When he thought of this, an evil grin appeared on Ye Tianlin's handsome face. He coldly said: "It doesn't matter how strange you are. Since you don't know your place, I will cripple you today."

As he spoke, the spirit energy around his body exploded. He took a step forward, and with an overwhelming aura, he suddenly approached Ye Hao.

"That depends on whether you have the ability or not." Staring at the figure that had suddenly appeared, Ye Hao's cold eyes had an unprecedented look of concentration.

The current him was only at Tempered Body 6th Layer after all. Although the mysterious power of his blood essence prevented him from being completely crushed, Ye Hao knew that there was still a huge gap between him and Ye Tianlin.

"It's still too weak." Sighing lightly in his heart, Ye Hao's black eyes flashed as the blood in his body suddenly erupted. Suddenly, a burly figure appeared in front of him and blocked Ye Tianlin's Spiritual Energy that rushed over like a mountain torrent.

"Stop!"

As soon as he appeared, the pressure of a Dao Soul expert radiated out.

"Patriarch?" Upon seeing this person, Ye Tianlin abruptly stopped in his tracks, his eyes narrowing slightly as his killing intent quickly converged.

However, Ye Yunfeng did not pay attention to him. His body slightly trembled as he turned around. His eyes had a hint of surprise and apprehension. He looked at Ye Hao in disbelief.

Finally, after confirming that the qi and blood of body tempering sixth level was indeed on Ye Hao's body, and not because of his misconception, an unconcealable ecstasy appeared on Ye Yunfeng's aged face.
