Chapter 619 The Dragon and Phoenix Spread Across the Plains

On the stage, Ye Ru and Ye Liang clashed, and Ye Ru staggered back dozens of steps before slowly coming to a stop.

Ye Liang only took two steps back, which shows that the latter's talent was indeed not just talk.

Feeling the other party's formidable talent, Ye Ru was slightly shaken, not expecting the other party to be so powerful.

Because he had sensed that although the other party was a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial civil service examination), the strength he displayed was even greater than that of a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the metropolitan civil service examination).

"What? It's not working already?"

Ye Liang shook his hand, dissipating all the force the other party had given him, a hint of mockery on his face.

In his view, the opponent's strength was nothing special.

"Dean, should we stop them? If Ye Ru loses and joins the Supreme Saint Project, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public."

In Lin Ru's view, Ye Ru's temperament, talent, and learning are all superior to others. Although his strength is not good now, he will be a terrifying existence if he grows up.

"No need. Even if he loses, it won't matter. Losing can temper his mentality. If he gets discouraged, we'll have to find someone else. But if this battle ends, he can use this opportunity to improve his mentality, which is better than us pausing now. What he lacks most right now is time."

After a moment's thought, Dean Song shook his head, a smile on his face, and said.

"understood."

Lin Ru sighed inwardly, thinking, "As expected of a high-level half-saint, someone who is only one step away from becoming a sub-saint. Their temperament is indeed something we cannot match."

"Alright, let's end this farce. I'll show you that your Yanhuang Kingdom is indeed not as powerful as our Jin Kingdom."

With a hint of gloom in his eyes, Ye Liang hadn't expected that his opponent could hold out for so long. However, even so, his opponent was no match for him.

Moreover, fighting for so long isn't good for his reputation, since he's a member of the Great Confucian Project. If the match ends in a draw, that's something he can't tolerate.

As soon as he finished speaking, he poured his inner energy into the folding fan.

As he channeled his inner energy into the fan, a powerful force spread outwards. At the same time, the dragon and phoenix on the folding fan seemed to possess a soul, and began to emit bursts of dragon roars and phoenix cries.

This scene caused Ye Ru's expression to change, and his heart grew increasingly heavy.

He could sense that this folding fan was no ordinary object, and the dragon's roar within it was even causing the dragon bloodline within his body to resonate.

"it's all over!"

Those around him, sensing the immense power, swallowed hard. They realized they were no match for the newcomer, let alone him.

"Dean, this..."

Lin Ru felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed this powerful force. He realized that Ye Ru would be unable to withstand it and might even be in mortal danger.

"It's alright, keep watching. Ye Ru hasn't even used his true power yet. Have you forgotten what you saw in Jin?"

Dean Song turned his head and glanced at Lin Ru, who immediately realized what was going on.

Previously in the State of Jin, Ye Ru single-handedly defeated the head of the Shi Sheng family, a true Confucian scholar.

Scratching his head, Lin Ru realized what was happening, and the worry in his heart eased.

However, Lin Ru still did not let his guard down. Ye Ru was their last hope, and if anything happened to him, it would be no laughing matter.

In the arena, the light from the folding fan was fully revealed, and the sound of a phoenix's cry echoed continuously throughout the world, sending chills down one's spine.

"The Dragon and Phoenix Spread Across the Plains!"

With a furious shout, Ye Liang threw his folding fan. After spinning in the air for a moment, the fan suddenly expanded and finally turned into a beam of light.

After the light was released, a silver dragon and a fire phoenix soared into the sky, looking down at Ye Ru with eyes that looked down upon the world.

The powerful energy contained within these two dragons and phoenixes caused Ye Ru to frown, his face filled with a solemn expression.

I'm asking you one more time, do you admit defeat or not!

Ye Liang's domineering voice resounded throughout the world, causing everyone to secretly click their tongues in amazement.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ru's heart was filled with excitement. He then took a step forward, and his chilling shout echoed throughout the world: "Haha, let me see just how powerful your dragon and phoenix are!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ru's expression changed abruptly. His robes fluttered without wind, and his entire body was covered with a thick layer of scales.

As the scales clung to him, Ye Ru's entire body swelled up, a sight that shocked everyone present. One person exclaimed in alarm:

"This is actually a dragon?"

"Wait a minute, how can a human have dragon blood? Just who is this guy?"

"Could it be a spy sent by the dragons to infiltrate our human race?"

As soon as someone spoke, the crowd below erupted in a frenzy, and shocked gazes turned toward Ye Ru, staring at the golden dragon as if a raging storm had been unleashed.

"Dragon bloodline, this kid is indeed extraordinary."

Dean Song stroked Tiger and said with a smile.

"This guy has improved so quickly. Back in Jin, he didn't even have dragon blood. I never expected that he would have dragon blood in such a short time."

Lin Ru sighed, thinking to himself that this person was truly blessed by heaven.

Because he knew that the bloodline of the dragon race was not something that could be obtained so easily.

Moreover, even if you kill a member of the dragon race, it will be useless without the Dragon Tempering Pool. Judging from the opponent's power, it is clear that the dragon race is willing to pay the price.

"Is that the mark of the Holy Dragon?"

Suddenly, Dean Song looked up at the mark between Ye Ru's eyebrows, and his expression changed drastically.

"What? The Holy Dragon Mark?"

Lin Ru was also somewhat shocked, and then he looked up as well.

Sure enough, there was a dragon pattern drawn between Ye Ru's eyebrows.

"It seems the prophecy was right; this person is our last trump card against the demon and monster races..."

Taking a deep breath to suppress his shock, Dean Song said in a deep voice.

"After the Holy Dragon Mark appears, demon gods and monster gods will also appear. What if we don't bring him to the level of the Supreme Sage Master?"

At this point, Lin Ru inquired.

"No, we must ensure that one of the three of them reaches the level of the Supreme Sage Master, otherwise all our efforts will have been in vain."

"At least there's one sign now: Ye Ru has found the right person!"

Dean Song looked relieved.
