Just Want to Live Well but Surpassing the Protagonist – 04 Bullying
The two Nascent Soul Initial Stage supervisors were responsible for maintaining order. They had been organizing competitions for more than two hundred years, but it was the first time they had seen such a scene. Even some Nascent Soul Middle Stage disciples who were stronger than them had come. If they didn’t know better, they would have thought it was an elder’s sermon.
However, they also knew Ye Yong’s potential. Strictly speaking, it might not be much lower than an elder’s. As long as he didn’t die young and had enough time to grow, he would definitely become a Void Refinement expert. He might even have a chance to reach the Mahayana and Saint realms. If the future seemed too distant and uncertain, then the recent incident of plotting with the elders to kill thousands of Demonic Sect cultivators was a real achievement. Not to mention the disciples, even the supervisors didn’t have such great abilities.
If only Ye Yong had joined their Sword Pavilion Hall. Such a precious gem had actually entered the Melody and Painting Hall. Could playing the flute and painting be more powerful than splitting mountains and rivers with a single sword? It was a complete waste of his extraordinary talent. Fortunately, there was still Qin Shimeng among this batch of new disciples. She was promising. Otherwise, the limelight would have been completely stolen by the obscure Melody and Painting Hall.
With a sigh, the two supervisors stopped thinking about what was possible and impossible and began to command the competition.
There were more than 3,000 new disciples in the Sword Pavilion Hall this year, more than double the number in previous years. Because of the secret realm’s origin, half of them came from other continents.
The competition venue was divided into ten areas, and each area had a list of names. First, it was the same realm battle.
Ye Yong didn’t dare to look at Long Tian too much because this guy was too sensitive. Back when he was taking the Sky Bearing Sect assessment, he could be detected even though he was so far away. Among the 3,000 new disciples present, if he didn’t look at anyone else but him, wouldn’t that be the same as telling Long Tian that he was paying special attention to him?
It should be known that Ye Yong had no contact with Long Tian so far, and Long Tian had not done anything amazing yet, so he had to try his best to treat him like air. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he became suspicious.
Long Tian showed his cultivation as the third level of Foundation Establishment, so he was in the third area, while Ye Mao was in the seventh area.
Hm?
Ye Yong couldn’t help but frown. Why did that brat run to the seventh area? The seventh area meant the seventh level of Foundation Establishment…
The competition supported a maximum of three levels of challenge. In the novel, Long Tian was the same as now, at the ‘third level of Foundation Establishment’, while Ye Mao was at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, so he was arranged at the end.
But in reality, Ye Mao had broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, which meant that they wouldn’t face each other? But why did this happen?
Ye Yong recalled for a moment and suddenly remembered that before coming to the Sky Bearing Sect, he had given each of the Ye family juniors a bottle of Supreme Gathering Spirit Pills. Although Ye Mao was a brainless villain, villains were naturally talented, and it was more satisfying to step on the protagonist. Even if his brain wasn’t good, there was no problem with his cultivation.
The medicinal effect of the Supreme Gathering Spirit Pills was several times stronger than that of the Perfect Gathering Spirit Pills. Even pigs could break through after taking them. Ye Yong was the only one who was too strange. He had the eighth spiritual vein with an astonishing appetite, and he ate the Supreme Pills as food, but his cultivation speed was still slower than a snail’s.
In short, the current development was good news. He had unintentionally planted a willow tree that provided shade, changing the conflict between Ye Mao and Long Tian. But this didn’t mean that Ye Yong would be at ease. As long as they were still in the same hall, there was still a great chance of conflict. He never doubted the protagonist’s innate ability to provoke and the villain’s ability to cause trouble.
Ye Yong had already decided to draw all of Ye Mao’s hatred onto himself and prevent him from having time to pay attention to Long Tian.

The competition continued until evening. Although 3,000 people sounded like a lot, when divided into 10 areas, they quickly selected the strongest.
Long Tian was the most outstanding person at the third level of Foundation Establishment. He had originally hidden his cultivation, so he was considered to be bullying the younger ones. Therefore, this result didn’t surprise Ye Yong at all.
The people around him didn’t pay much attention to Long Tian for the time being. After all, the third level of Foundation Establishment was very weak. If they were going to discuss someone, they would discuss the cultivators above the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.
For example, Ye Mao.
He was indeed a villain. Just a few days after breaking through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, he had become the strongest among the new disciples at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. The moment he won, his proud expression almost pierced through the sky.
“That guy at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, is he Ye Yong’s clansman?”
“I think he’s his cousin who’s two years older.”
“Not bad for a 20-year-old at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, but he’s still far from Ye Yong, both in terms of talent and appearance.”
“Indeed, Ye Yong’s appearance is far superior among the Ye family juniors.”
Hearing the discussions of the senior brothers and sisters around him, Ye Mao instantly fell from the sky, smashed through the ground, and sank into the earth’s core. His expression was uglier than if he had eaten sh*t.
Did he, Ye Mao, not deserve to have a name? Was it Ye Yong who had won the competition, or was it him? Why were they discussing Ye Yong?
Ye Mao had never thought that not only would he not receive any praise for winning, but he would also be used for comparison. The key point was that he had been completely outdone. In the end, others didn’t even discuss him anymore and directly praised Ye Yong.
His fists clenched, and Ye Mao’s facial features twisted in anger.
Today’s competition had come to a temporary end. Tomorrow would be the cross-level battle.
Tomorrow, he, Ye Mao, would challenge the tenth level of Foundation Establishment! He would defeat the tenth level of Foundation Establishment to prove that he was not inferior to Ye Yong!
Ye Yong didn’t know what Ye Mao had experienced. He only saw that he had been arrogant and proud just now, but his expression suddenly changed and he put on a pained mask. He left a pathetic figure behind and calmly left.
The world of the brat was truly beyond his reach.
———
It was already evening when Ye Yong returned to Echoing Peak. He could have left earlier, but the sword cultivator senior sister was too enthusiastic and insisted on him finishing his meal before leaving. Liang Xiaorou didn’t help him either. She only hummed Hum and shook her head, looking like she didn’t know anything and didn’t want to be bothered, just like a textbook-like arrogant loli.

As for the sword cultivator senior, her cooking… Although it couldn’t be called unpalatable, it was definitely not as good as the culinary skills of the Yinhua Hall seniors.
After all, one was practicing martial arts, while the other was practicing literature. Each had their own strengths.
As soon as he entered the room, Ye Yong saw Wu Xue like a startled rabbit that had come out to forage for food, hurriedly running to her room.
How could Ye Yong let her succeed? He was very vengeful.
Feilong Steps!
The terror of an earth-level body technique!
Ye Yong instantly blocked Wu Xue’s path.
Wu Xue dodged left and right, but she couldn’t avoid it. She was very anxious. In the end, she simply covered her face on the spot, thinking that if she couldn’t see, nothing would happen. She acted like an ostrich.
The more you act like this, the more I want to tease you.
Ye Yong smiled and forcefully pulled Wu Xue’s hands away.
Wu Xue’s face was crimson red, her gaze wandering. In any case, she didn’t dare to linger on Ye Yong’s body. Her eyes flickered with tears, and anyone who didn’t know might think that Ye Yong was bullying her. Although he was indeed bullying her now.
“Xiaoxue~ Why aren’t you looking at me?”
Wu Xue didn’t answer. Her heart was in turmoil. She admitted that she had been too impulsive this morning, but when the young master said such things, how could she control herself? It wasn’t her fault, right?
“If you don’t look at me, I’ll force you to look.” Ye Yong leaned down and pressed his forehead against Wu Xue’s.
Wu Xue’s entire body trembled.
As if that wasn’t enough, Ye Yong also gently rubbed his nose on the tip of her small nose. They could both feel each other’s hot breath.
“Yo, young master…” Wu Xue’s pink lips parted slightly, her breath fragrant like orchids. Her eyes were blurred, and she was feeling uneasy, expectant, and longing.
However, Ye Yong quickly retreated the next second, pretending that nothing had happened: “Hm? Xiaoxue, are you calling me? What’s the matter?”
Wu Xue blinked, as if she had realized something. Then, she burst into tears and cried, “Young Master, you’re bullying me!”
