A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2218 Dragon Gate Appears

When Ye Fan appeared interested in the project, Ye Qingtian could not help but raise his voice and ask, “What's the matter? Are you interested in Dragon Gate Project too?” He then continued proudly, “Chen Jiuzhou and Moryana proposed the project. Sword Saint and the rest of us were initially skeptical about the idea. As all of us in the martial arts world know, there are no shortcuts to cultivation. It's a path that requires discipline, dedication, and endless effort. Only those willing to put in the time and effort can reach unimaginable heights of power and strength. But it seems like I was wrong. In this vast world, there's nothing unimaginable. It looks like there really are immortal lands and blessed grounds that can help people cultivate. Dragon Gate is the entrance to that immortal land. By entering through the gate, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Sword Saint and the rest of us are prepared to try our luck. For all we know, after being stagnant all these years, we can finally achieve a breakthrough. Are you interested in joining us, Ye Fan? I'll try my best to help you secure a position. Given your current skills, I'm sure you will be able to reach god realm if you practice in the Dragon Gate.”

Ye Qingtian chuckled delightfully after sharing the legendary tales of Dragon Gate.

“Is that so?” Ye Fan chortled softly and continued, “Can I visit Dragon Gate?”

“Well...” Ye Qingtian seemed slightly perturbed.

“Is there a problem?” the man asked.

Ye Qingtian immediately shook his head and explained, “Unfortunately, I'm no longer in control of War God Castle. If I were still in charge, I would not hesitate to let you enter Dragon Gate and practice inside. I'm only the second in charge now; Chen Jiuzhou has the final say. Moreover, Moryana is guarding Dragon Gate herself. Even I'm not allowed to be near the gate for no good reason.”

Hearing Ye Qingtian's difficult predicament, Ye Fan scowled as he had not expected Dragon Gate to be so closely guarded.

Even War God, Ye Qingtian, had to stay away from the place.

This sparked Ye Fan's interest in Dragon Gate.

“Can't I just take a look?” Ye Fan asked.

After mulling, Ye Qingtian replied, “I may be able to help you if you just want to see it. I know two people will end their training in Dragon Gate today. The gate will open for them to exit, and you can witness it.”

Ye Fan nodded and said, “Okay, I shall wait here for Dragon Gate to open.”

He then waited for a few hours in War God Castle.

In the evening, Mount Yan started to tremble.

The commotion outside the castle grew louder. Everyone was in high spirits, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

“Ye, hurry up! Dragon Gate is going to open. I wonder if they can reach the Supreme level today.” Sword Saint called out to Ye Qingtian; his excitement was evident from his tone.

However, as soon as Sword Saint entered, his smile froze. “Chu... Chu Tianfan? What are you doing here?” he stuttered.

Upon seeing Ye Fan, Sword Saint became nervous.

He had not interacted with the man much, but most of the time they encountered each other, he and King of Fighters ended up getting beaten.

Therefore, almost instinctively, Sword Saint became slightly wary.

Sword Saint looked at Ye Qingtian and asked, “What's happening, Ye? Didn't we settle the matter at Jiangdong?”

“Haha! Sword Saint, don't be nervous. Ye Fan came here to inspect Dragon Gate Project. Come on, let's go take a look together,” Ye Qingtian said merrily as he walked out of the castle, one man in each arm.

Outside, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky red.

Kong Ming and the rest gathered at the square, waiting in anticipation for Dragon Gate.

Meanwhile, at the peak of Mount Yan, a sturdy man stood in midair and surveyed his surroundings.

“The sky and earth are calm as water, and Dragon Gate opens today! Emerge! Emerge! Emerge!” Chen Jiuzhou's commanding voice reverberated through the air.

Next, everyone saw him raising his foot and stomping it down fiercely.

The entire world began to hum.

Suddenly, the ground below cracked open.

An ancient stone gate emerged from the depths of the earth as if a dragon had risen from the seas and a serpent had ascended from the heavens.

The mountain-like stone gate stretched across the sky and the earth!

“Is that Dragon Gate, the divine place that can help us achieve a breakthrough?”

“Is there really immense power behind the magical door?”

At the foot of Mount Yan, the crowd was in an uproar.

Kong Ming and others looked at the ancient Dragon Gate in front of them with fiery eyes.

They could not wait to jump in and boost their powers!

Upon seeing the gate, even Ye Qingtian and Sword Saint could not help but marvel and feel emotional.

Only Ye Fan's face became extremely grim the moment he saw the gate.

It was painted in black, with a black dragon and odd runes carved on it.

This is the one! It looks exactly the same as the gate I saw at Mount Chumen. I'm certain that this is the forbidden door that Great-grandma warned us about. The power of the devil is sealed behind this door! She was right. Great-grandma was right. This is a huge conspiracy!

The moment he saw this door, Ye Fan understood everything.

The so-called Dragon Gate training was a continuation of Chu Yuan's plan from before.

Even though Chu Sect had been destroyed and Chu Yuan was dead, the conspiracy was still happening.

And this time, all the world's martial artists were willingly cooperating.

There was no resistance, no killing, no war, and everyone was flocking to it.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan could not help but wonder in shock.

Who exactly is behind all of this? Who would deceive the whole world like this?

As Ye Fan wondered in horror, the black gate suddenly opened.

A divine light shot out from inside.

Two figures, bathed in the divine light, leaped down from the gate.

Then with a thud, they knelt directly in front of Chen Jiuzhou and said, “Hall Master Chen, we've completed our training and are ready to do your bidding.”

Chen Jiuzhou nodded and asked, “What is your current rank?”

“I'm at the peak of the Grandmaster realm,” one of them reported.

The other continued, “I'm at the semi-Supreme realm.”

Many of the onlookers could not believe their ears.

“He's a Grandmaster? He's a semi-Supreme? Is... Is this true?”

“I remember that man was a mere Innate three months ago.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“How did he manage to jump through two realms, the Innate and Terminal levels, and reach the Grandmaster realm in just three months?”

“This is insane. How did he reach the Grandmaster realm at eighteen years old? He's so powerful!”

“What's the secret behind Dragon Gate?”

Everyone at Mount Yan was discussing excitedly; their eyes were burning with desire.

They yearned to experience the power themselves.

After all, what did martial artists desire most? Not money, not women. It was power!

The power to destroy the heavens and the earth, to give and take life!

Alas, such immense power was hidden behind Dragon Gate.

Naturally, everyone was hoping for it!

Chen Jiuzhou shook his head at the words. “Still a little short, aren't you? I thought that with your talents, you could have reached the realm of Supreme. Never mind, head back and fortify our defenses. Wait for my command.”

The man waved his hand and dismissed the two. Next, he turned to the crowd and announced, “Everyone, the first group of Dragon Gate trainees has returned. Tomorrow, we will select the second group of trainees. Everyone, remember to do your best. Also, I want to inform you that War God, Sword Saint, and King of Fighters will also be participating in the second round of Dragon Gate Project.”
