"I've been standing here the whole time, not moving a muscle," Ye Fan said, spreading his hands.
"Zhang San," Bu Quegan interjected, "Ye Fan and Ru Jing were right beside me. They really didn't move anything."
Hearing this, Zhang San stopped talking, took out a pill, and began to heal his injuries and recover his true qi.
Watching them heal, Ye Fan silently sent them a look of sympathy and pity.
He had already observed that the tomb chamber was set up with a "Spirit Revival Array."
Unless these people could break the array, they would be locked in an endless battle with these vengeful spirits.
Although he couldn't discern the cultivation levels of these people or the spirits due to his lack of cultivation, judging by their disheveled state, they likely wouldn't last more than a few rounds.
As expected.
In less than fifteen minutes, more vengeful spirits drifted out.
Ye Fan couldn't help but smack his lips.
These people clearly didn't understand formations, as they hadn't noticed the Spirit Revival Array.
Even if he told them the method to break it, they wouldn't be able to implement it.
What was the meaning of this dog system bringing him here?
Was it just to watch these people get wiped out?
Either solve the problem like before, or let these vengeful spirits kill me.
If you're just going to stand by and watch them get annihilated without saying anything, I have every reason to suspect you're a pervert!
This battle lasted for nearly two hours.
Ye Fan even found time to take out his lounge chair and take a nap.
On the other hand, Liang Rujing watched with bright eyes, thoroughly engrossed.
When the guards saw Ye Fan's state after the battle, they were so angry they almost died on the spot...
However, they didn't have time to bicker with Ye Fan, as new vengeful spirits emerged again!
[Host, do you see that?]
[Being weak is the original sin. Without cultivation, you can only be at the mercy of others!]
[However, this system doesn't expect you, a useless salted fish, to cultivate. How about we make a deal?]
[In the future, when you encounter danger, just pretend to be scared or nervous. Give this system some face, alright?]
Ye Fan chuckled.
Just as he expected...
This dog system was still unwilling to give up!
Give you face?
I'll give you a banana and a watermelon!
Do whatever you want!
[I swear...]
[Useless piece of junk!]
"Swish!"
A golden light shot out from Ye Fan's feet.
The golden light split into over a hundred beams in the air, instantly striking the vengeful spirits.
The originally pale blue vengeful spirits instantly turned golden, looking like little golden figures.
These vengeful spirits first bowed to Ye Fan, their faces showing a look of relief.
Then they turned around and knelt down in another direction.
After their obeisance, these golden figures dissipated.
An exit, thus, appeared before everyone.
Tiny specks of fluorescent light, visible only to Ye Fan, slowly rose and gathered towards his chest.
Ye Fan sighed silently.
After so many instances, he had a rough understanding.
The period when the dog system was dormant before must have been when it was truly "running out of power."
He understood, but he was also helpless.
Damn it, this dog system now forcibly teleports him whenever it pleases, and he can't stop it at all...
Forget it, whatever happens, happens.
As long as you're happy...
...
After the battle ended, the guards rejoined the group.
However, their expressions this time were incredibly complex.
Apprehensive, nervous, fearful...
No matter how foolish they were, they knew that the golden light just now was produced by these two newcomers!
The vengeful spirits they had painstakingly dealt with were resolved with a mere "snap" by them!
These were truly super experts!
No wonder they couldn't see the other party's cultivation level before; it was because their cultivation was too high...
At least Void Refinement!
Possibly even Nascent Soul!
Before, they were extremely annoyed by Ye Fan's lounging, but now, he looked more and more like a master!
Every part of him exuded the aura of a grand figure!
Seemingly as lazy as a salted fish, but actually incredibly imposing!
Once they understood, they became even more nervous.
Especially Zhang San.
The thought of speaking to such a magnate in that manner made him almost wet himself...
Normally, such a suicidal act would have resulted in him being crushed into dust by the magnate's palm.
Why hadn't the magnate acted now?
"Ye, Senior Ye..." Zhang San stammered, "The exit has, has, has appeared... what do you think we should do, do, do next..."
"I didn't expect Ye Fan to be so powerful!" Bu Quegan exclaimed in surprise, "You're a hidden master!"
Ye Fan stood up and put away his lounge chair.
What could he say?
That he was just a mortal without cultivation?
But would they believe him?
Forget it, he was used to it anyway...
"Brother Bu is too kind," Ye Fan replied perfunctorily.
Liang Rujing glanced at the others with a smug expression.
She had been very unhappy when Zhang San spoke to Ye Fan like that.
She knew how powerful Ye Fan was!
She had already subconsciously regarded Ye Fan as her big brother.
How could she tolerate her big brother being spoken to like that?
But since Ye Fan hadn't said anything, she naturally wouldn't say more.
Now they knew his capabilities, didn't they!
Hmph!
"Since we are so fated, and you are so powerful," Bu Quegan said excitedly, "Why don't you become my subordinate from now on?"
Ye Fan looked at Bu Quegan with a peculiar expression.
What?
Brother, your train of thought is a bit unusual?
"I have many spirit mines at home, not only of higher grade than those in the Great Liang Kingdom but also all rich veins!" Bu Quegan said generously, "I'll cover all the resources you need for cultivation from now on!"
His words exuded the aura of a nouveau riche!
Ye Fan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Could this be the legendary "has a mine at home"?
The guards almost spat blood!
Your Highness, are you trying to court death by saying that?!
Would such a magnate care about these things?
No wonder they had acted so recklessly before.
They must have been infected by the Prince!
Damn it!
...
"The exit has appeared," Ye Fan said with a smile, changing the subject. "Brother Bu, please."
Bu Quegan thought for a moment, believing that such a master as Ye Fan wouldn't be easily won over, and didn't press the matter further.
No rush, he could take his time.
Thus, the group passed through the exit and entered the next tomb chamber.
Upon entering, they discovered it was a massive beast-fighting arena.
They were standing on a beast-fighting platform hundreds of feet in diameter, surrounded by empty tiered seating.
A metal cage slowly rose from the center of the seating area.
Inside was the skeleton of a beast, emitting a power fluctuation of the sixth level of Void Glimpse.
"Clang—!"
As the cage opened, the beast skeleton charged towards them aggressively.
The guards secretly glanced at Ye Fan.
Seeing that Ye Fan showed no reaction, they had no choice but to brace themselves and meet the charge.
"Roar—!"
The beast skeleton roared, making the guards dizzy and disoriented.
What the hell was going on!
From where was a mere skeleton emitting such a sound...
Bu Quegan shook his dizzy head and quickly activated a magic artifact he carried.
As a wealthy patron, he was never short of protective treasures.
A layer of golden light enveloped Ye Fan and Liang Rujing.
[Although this beast is trash, it's quite skilled in mental attacks.]
[How about we make a bet, Host? Let's guess how long they can last.]
[If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement!]
[I predict a maximum of fifteen minutes.]
...
Ye Fan felt a surge of joy in his heart.
After the dog system repaired its intelligent program bug last time, it seemed to have been "repaired crookedly."
Regardless of whether he responded or not, it just kept chattering away to itself.
It seemed that too many bugs had caused it to malfunction!
If this continued...
Wouldn't it eventually be completely broken by bugs one day?!
Thinking of this, Ye Fan's mood improved significantly.
Although it was just a guess, who could say for sure?
Everyone has to have dreams, right?
What if one day it came true!
