Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 653: Chapter 498: Well Said, Subtle Changes (Double-Length, Please Vote)

Opposite him was also a young man in his early twenties, from the Qing Generation, Ye Qingfeng.

Both were at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, but the former had Dual Spirit Roots and was the son of Ye Jingyong, naturally making Ye Qingwen more favored by the crowd.

The most crucial part was that Ye Qingwen, like his father, followed the path of a Body Cultivator.

So even though the two were about the same age, Ye Qingwen was taller by a head, with muscles prominently visible all over his body.

“Brother Feng, I’m going to strike now!” Ye Qingwen courteously announced, then his body shot out like an arrow.

He charged towards Ye Qingfeng, who quickly took out a Magical Artifact Shield and released a Fire Sparrow Spirit Beast, unleashing torrents of flames.

However, wings made of a Magical Artifact suddenly appeared behind Ye Qingwen, allowing him to drift eerily to the side, evading the flames and bypassing the shield.

With a raised fist, he struck towards Ye Qingfeng.

Just as the fist was about to land, a glove that kept enlarging suddenly appeared, catching Ye Qingfeng off guard.

Fortunately, he had two Magical Artifacts, a shield in the open, and a sword in the dark.

But the Flying Sword, being light and nimble, couldn’t withstand the heavy punch and was soon knocked away.

For the rest of the battle, Ye Qingfeng was on the defensive, while the Fire Sparrow was enveloped by a Bell Spiritual Artifact released by Ye Qingwen, trapping it inside.

In no time, Ye Qingwen had won.

On stage, Ye Jingli laughed heartily, completely disregarding that he was now an elder.

“Both Magical Artifacts were my design, ingenious, right!” Ye Jingli looked at Ye Jingyun.

Even Ye Xingqun praised Ye Jingli.

Ye Jingyun naturally also gave a thumbs up.

“It’s a pity Second Brother isn’t here to see his son making great strides!” Ye Jingli couldn’t help but say.

This caused the other two’s expressions to change; the Ye family still lacked in Foundation Establishment, while the Yuan and Wei families stirred things up greatly in the market, and sometimes even Tribulation Cultivators appeared, so Ye Jingyong naturally had to be always present.

“Next is the lot drawing for the top three in the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation. Those drawn will make it to the top two!” Ye Jingyun, as a clan member acting as Patriarch, announced.

Among those drawing lots, there were two from the Jing Generation and one from the Qing Generation, the Qing Generation being the Dual Spirit Roots Ye Qingyan.

Relying on his extraordinary talent in the Alchemy Dao and his Dual Spirit Roots, even without a Communication Beast, he had already broken through to the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

The remaining from the Jing Generation was Ye Jingjiang, who had a Communication Beast as well.

He was slightly older, at the edge of forty-five, the age limit for participating in the grand competition.

Older than Ye Jingting by a full twelve years.

He was the most likely to take first place in this competition, as his cultivation was not far from the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

The lot drawing concluded quickly, and when Ye Qingyan’s name was drawn, Ye Jingting couldn’t help but purse her lips.

On the contrary, Ye Qingyan couldn’t help but rejoice; his spirit beast had not kept pace in the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, but he’d heard the clan still had High-Tier Spirit Beasts to inherit.

At this moment, he aspired to have a spirit beast that could assist in alchemy, like the figure he admired in his heart.

Drawing an empty lot confirmed him at least second place, naturally filling him with immense joy.

“Jingting asks for guidance from Brother Jingjiang!” Ye Jingting and Ye Jingjiang stepped onto the stage, with Ye Jingting speaking first.

Then she took out several of her Magical Artifacts, a number of Spirit Talismans, and a Late Stage Tier One Silver Moon Python.

Ye Jingjiang’s spirit beast was a Tier One Peak Fire-Devouring Sparrow.

Its fire-breathing ability was top-tier among Tier One Demon Beasts.

It perfectly countered the Silver Moon Python, combined with Ye Jingjiang’s impenetrable defense.

The outcome was quickly decided.

With a weaker spirit beast and cultivation, Ye Jingting ultimately couldn’t avoid defeat, only taking third place.

The competition between Ye Jingjiang and Ye Qingyan was also not intense.
