The battle near the fourth stone pillar was much more intense than the battles near the previous three stone pillars.
The remaining six people are fighting desperately for the Nether Crystal on the stone pillar. This is their last chance.
If they cannot obtain this Nether Crystal, they will never have the chance to enter the Imperial City in this lifetime.
Ye Li and three other people stood in the distance watching the battle. The six people were now divided into two groups of three to fight each other. Among them, a young man who looked very honest and dull stood out among the six.
This man's offense and defense look simple and unpretentious, but his actual combat ability is very strong. The transition between offense and defense is smooth and his rules are strict.
In the battle between three pairs of people, only his side won the victory quickly with an overwhelming advantage.
After defeating his opponent, this seemingly honest and dull young man did not choose to directly snatch the Nether Crystal, but began to observe the two pairs of people around him.
After taking a look, he suddenly took action and joined the fight between a pair of people next to him, helping one of them deal with the other.
The person he helped was not the one who had the advantage between the two, but the one who was at a disadvantage.
Ye Li understood after thinking about it, and then looked at the dull young man twice. It seemed that this man was not as dull as he looked.
Obviously, his purpose in helping the weak is to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the stronger opponent in an easier way.
In the battle with the remaining people later, those who remain are weaker and will pose less threat to him.
While he was thinking, the dull young man quickly helped the weaker of the pair next to him to deal with the stronger one.
Then, without waiting for the other party to catch his breath, he immediately started fighting with the weaker one.
This man's strength was indeed much weaker than that of the dull young man. He was also slightly injured in the fierce fight just now. He was no longer able to fight again and was defeated in just a few moves and lay on the ground.
Ye Li also noticed that this dull young man, apart from having killed someone before when he had no choice, did not kill the weaker person this time. He just made the opponent completely lose his fighting ability and lie on the ground.
After knocking this man down, the battle between the other two people with similar strength was about to come to an end. They were so busy fighting that they had no time to pay attention to what was happening around them.
The two men, who were equally strong, were both injured in the desperate fight. The dull young man had no intention of attacking, but stood at a distance to watch the fight. In Ye Li's opinion, what he did was like sitting on a mountain and watching a fight between tigers.
"This boy is really thoughtful, not as dull as he looks."
A young man who looked like an elegant gentleman beside Ye Li gently shook the folding fan in his hand and spoke.
Ye Li noticed that the folding fan in the man's hand was actually a talisman. It was covered with runes in red and white. Ye Li could even smell a hint of fire from the fan.
The other of the three was a young man with a stern face and a thin figure, looking like a sharp blade.
He glanced at the young man with the folding fan, nodded, and said in a hoarse and harsh voice like the grinding of metal, "Brother, you are right, he is indeed not simple.
He immediately saw the situation around him. One of the two pairs was equally strong, while the other pair was much weaker than the other.
He chose to interfere with the fight between the two people with a huge disparity in strength, just to give the other pair time to continue fighting to the death.
He then helped the weaker one defeat the stronger one first, and then fought the weaker one alone, thus minimizing his own consumption.
After that, he stood in the distance and waited for the two people of equal strength to decide the winner.
The purpose of doing this is to hope that whichever side wins will be in a state of great loss of strength.
This person's basic strength seems very strong, and his mind is extremely delicate. He is definitely not someone who can be easily dealt with."
Ye Li heard the conversation between the two but did not make any comments. He just nodded slightly. He naturally saw this point.
While the elegant young man was speaking, he looked at the stern young man and Ye Li, pondered for a moment, and said: "The two brothers were able to defeat their opponents and obtain a Netherworld Crystal, so they must not be unknown people.
My name is Yin Dongliu, from the Yin family of Dahe County. I don’t know your names, brothers.”
The stern young man glanced at Ye Li and spoke first: "I am Leng Qian from Beihan County, a member of the Leng family."
Ye Li had never heard of these two families, and had even never heard of the counties where their families were located. He felt secretly ashamed.
His knowledge was still a bit shallow. After all, he was in a remote place and there was very little information he could get.
After the two introduced themselves to each other, they both looked at Ye Li. Ye Li had no intention of hiding his identity, so he said, "I am Ye Li, a disciple of the Weapon Casting Hall."
After hearing Ye Li's self-introduction, they were stunned, and there was a hint of doubt in their eyes when they looked at Ye Li.
"The weapon casting skills of the Weapon Casting Hall are unparalleled in the world. I have admired them for a long time, but I didn't expect that their combat effectiveness is so strong."
Yin Dongliu gently waved his folding fan and spoke to Ye Li with a smile, his eyes looking at Ye Li were very kind.
After Leng Qian knew that Ye Li came from the Weapon Foundry Hall, the coldness in his expression became less severe.
After all, the Foundry Hall has always been a neutral force in the world and rarely has conflicts with other forces, so it has a very good reputation.
In addition, Ye Li came from the Weapon Foundry Hall and would most likely become a weapon-making master in the future, so the two of them wanted to make friends with him.
Hearing Yin Dongliu's words, Ye Li waved his hand politely and said, "Brother Yin and Brother Leng are the first strong men to pass the previous test and ascend to the high platform. You two are also the first to obtain the Nether Crystal. In front of you, I dare not claim to be strong."
When the two heard Ye Li's polite answer, their eyes became a little kinder. After all, humble people are much easier to get along with than arrogant ones.
As they were talking, the battle situation on the other side changed. The fight between two equally powerful talisman masters had come to an end.
One of them won the final victory with an extremely slight advantage.
However, before he could take a break, the dull young man attacked him immediately, not giving the opponent any chance to recover.
The battle between the two sides ended quickly. The opponent was strong, but he had consumed too much energy and was injured. The dull young man defeated his opponent without wasting too much energy.
At this point, the battle near the fourth stone pillar was finally over, and the dull young man won the final victory without any surprise.
