Chapter 36 Two Major Domains, Words Become Law

Seemingly sensing Hong's intentions as well, Thor also stopped holding back and unleashed more and more power, putting increasing pressure on Hong.

One time the apprentice reaches the peak of the ninth rank, two times, three times...

Hong's moves gradually deviated from the scope of friendly sparring, and he began to fight desperately.

Thor, being a planetary-level being, possesses far superior strength and reflexes, thus allowing him to handle the situation with ease.

The entire audience watched the duel with bated breath. As the battle intensified, Hong's moves became increasingly terrifying, subtly imbued with something indescribable.

Thor, who was fighting Hong, sensed it most clearly. His eyes lit up: "Could it be...?"

However, as the match continued, Hong remained on the verge of defeat, unable to take that final step.

But Ye Yang noticed that as Hong's unwillingness increased, he had become completely immersed in the duel, and his will was becoming more and more concentrated and gradually sublimated.

"The key to breaking through to the planetary level lies in 'spirit' and 'will'. In order to comprehend the 'domain' that follows 'artistic conception,' he has pushed himself to the limit, which ironically fulfilled the conditions for the breakthrough."

Ye Yang smiled.

Hong had entered a strange state, growing stronger with each battle, his muscle strength constantly pushing his physical limits... Suddenly, his entire body's genetic energy spontaneously contracted!

Thor was startled and quickly withdrew his hand and stepped back, looking at Hong.

Right there on the dueling platform, under the watchful eyes of thousands of martial artists, and with the entire world broadcasting live, Hong began his advancement to the planetary level.

"What's wrong?"

"Why did it suddenly stop?"

The audience remained bewildered, completely unaware that the third human planetary was about to be born.

However, the next moment, a dark, lightless spherical area suddenly appeared, enveloping the 100-meter fighting platform.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Ye Yang immediately stood up and burst into laughter: "Humanity's third planetary-level powerhouse has been born!"

He soared into the air, his voice echoing, "Moreover, he's a powerful expert possessing the 'Light Domain'!"

The dark area below rapidly shrank, revealing Thor's figure first. He retreated quickly with a look of utter disbelief on his face.

Ye Yang landed on the dueling platform and looked at Hong, who was slowly withdrawing his domain: "Congratulations."

Hong was rather aloof and not familiar with Ye Yang, so he simply nodded and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, he frowned and looked at Thor: "Did you use your full strength in my domain?"

Thor looked annoyed: "Don't add insult to injury in front of everyone. You two are truly freaks. Ye Yang's triple domain is one thing, but why is yours, which you just mastered, so strong too?"

The audience understood the implication and were immediately taken aback.

Ye Yang's sudden announcement that Hong Mai had entered the Planetary level had already shocked them immensely.

So now Thor's meaning is... Hong, who was just easily suppressed by Thor, instantly suppressed Thor after breaking through to the planetary level and comprehending the domain?

It seems to have been compressed quite heavily, otherwise Thor wouldn't have had that look on his face, as if he'd just swallowed a fly.

"You haven't fully grasped the power of a domain yet. It's a revolutionary force for ordinary martial artists," Ye Yang explained.

Hong nodded, then looked at Ye Yang, a fighting spirit gradually rising in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Yang smiled and asked, "Would you like to experience the power of the Triple Domain?"

Hong nodded decisively.

Without hesitation, Ye Yang immediately unleashed his Flame Domain, enveloping the entire arena once again.

Three seconds later, the fiery domain dissipated, and Hong said with a solemn expression, "I admit defeat. You are too strong. Within your domain, my domain could only support an area of ​​less than one centimeter on the surface of my body."

But he didn't look discouraged; instead, his eyes were full of expectation as he looked at Ye Yang.

At the end of the martial arts tournament, countless martial artists witnessed the birth of the third planetary level and the alternating appearance of light and fire domains, a feast for the eyes.

Hong's deeds today will soon become a new legend.

……

Just as the conference was drawing to a close.

Almost no one noticed that a young police officer, with a serious expression and determined eyes, walked in carrying a document and headed towards Ye Yang's seat.

"Hmm? Li Yao is suspected of a crime?"

Ye Yang took the document, and his expression immediately turned serious.

Two days ago, a murder occurred on a street near the hotel arranged for domestic martial arts participants by the conference. The body of a 17-year-old high school girl was found in the river. The cause of death was cardiac arrest caused by a head injury, and she did not receive timely medical treatment.

After two days of investigation, the suspect was finally identified as 16-year-old Li Yao, who had participated in the tournament with the famous martial artist Yan Hai.

The police officer came to find Ye Yang because the matter involved martial artists, especially high-level martial artists like Yan Hai.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated! I will explain it to your superiors," Ye Yang said with a grim expression.

The police officer frowned, thinking that Ye Yang wanted to protect Li Yao—after all, there had been quite a few martial artists committing crimes in the past two years, but they had all been suppressed.

Perhaps it was this person in front of me who suppressed it for the sake of martial arts reputation.

While the image of a martial artist is important, is the life of that innocent girl who died tragically unimportant?

The young police officer was somewhat angry and was about to say something when he saw Ye Yang stand up, exuding a slight killing intent. Not only the police officer, but even Dong Nanbiao, a seventh-level apprentice next to him, felt terrified and looked at Ye Yang in surprise.

"You ordinary people shouldn't lay a hand on martial artists, so I'll capture them for you right now!"

Ye Yang spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping across the area where Yan Hai was located.

At a glance, he spotted the boy sitting next to him.

"Li Yao, come here!"

He roared so loudly that it hurt the eardrums of those nearby.

Before the sound even reached Li Yao's ears, who was 140 meters away, an invisible mental force had already penetrated his ears...

Suddenly, Li Yao's body trembled, his eyes became dazed, and he got up and walked down.

"Huh?" Yan Hai was puzzled at first, then the angry shout from the main stage reached his ears.

When Yan Hai saw Li Yao stagger to his feet and walk towards the audience, seemingly heading towards Ye Yang, he was taken aback.

But when he saw the man in police uniform next to Ye Yang, his expression changed drastically: "Little Vulture! What are you doing? Come back here!"

Yan Hai realized that Li Yao's affair had been exposed, and that Ye Yang was showing no respect for him, the "uncrowned king of Lingnan," and was about to take Li Yao away in front of everyone.

And then this kid stupidly walked over there himself... Wait a minute!

Yan Hai suddenly remembered that Li Yao had already gotten up before the sound came, and then he thought of Ye Yang, who possessed the ability to control objects remotely with his psychic powers...

"not good!"

"Ye Yang, you're bullying the weak! You actually attacked a child who isn't even a martial artist!"

At this time, Yan Hai's relationship with Li Yao was at its deepest. Moreover, Ye Yang's intimidation of Yan Hai at this time was far less than that of Hong 40 years later.

As I said before, transportation between the various base cities has been difficult in the past two years, and the local martial artists are ignorant and have no idea how powerful Ye Yang is.

Therefore, Yan Hai did not sit idly by and watch Li Yao die, but chose to resist.

He immediately stood up and stepped forward to stop Li Yao!

"Hmm?" Ye Yang frowned, then sneered, "Then you can come along too!"

The next moment, Yan Hai immediately became obedient, quieted down, and walked step by step with Li Yao toward Ye Yang.

However, the gazes of the surrounding martial artists became strange and horrified.

Ye Yang's words seemed to have the power to make others do whatever he wanted, without any resistance. What kind of ability was this?

……
