Before coming here, Tang Hao never thought that he would behave so emotionally in front of a young man despite being a grandmaster and one of the six pillars of the nation.
The man standing in front of Ye Fan wasn't just anybody. This was Tang Hao, one of the members of War God Castle, otherwise known as Heavenly Grandmaster!
Of course, Ye Fan hadn't recognized him because he had done any investigation or had gotten to know him beforehand. Ye Fan had guessed it was him.
After all, the only people in China who could exert this much pressure on Ye Fan were the six pillars of the nation in War God Castle.
Ye Fan was the leader of Dragon God Hall and had been executing many plans in secret, so he knew the situation of many countries' martial artists very well.
The only one among the six pillars in War God Castle who used a hammer was Heavenly Grandmaster, Tang Hao.
It wasn't hard for Ye Fan to guess this man's identity after he put Tang Hao's choice of weapon with his level of martial arts ability.
As for how he knew that Tang Hao's ability to level up had stopped, that could be seen from the ranking of the six members of War God Castle over the past number of years.
When War God Castle was first established, Tang Hao was ranked at number two. But over the last few years, the others surpassed him in ranking.
So it was quite clear that Tang Hao must have hit some bottleneck or difficulty in increasing his level of martial arts. It didn't take Ye Fan any shocking ability to deduce this.
It was difficult for the person involved to see beyond his own situation after all.
But even though Ye Fan didn't think much of it, Tang Hao was in deep shock.
He just felt as if his private matters had been laid bare in front of this young man, and he couldn't accept it after being held in such high regard for so many years.
But Ye Fan ignored Tang Hao's questions.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip and continued nonchalantly, "It's because of the mindset you have! The cultivation of martial arts is not only a training of the body, but also the mind. If your mind is not strong enough, then even if you shut yourself in and train for a hundred years, you will not be able to make any improvements."
"If you look at all the strong fighters on the Sky Ranking and the things they have achieved, you will find that all martial artists have a particular sort of energy. It's a sharp and unstoppable energy that keeps moving forward! The extremely capable are all extremely bold too! They traverse the world with their swords, they know who owes them and who they owe, and they never get entangled with too much emotion. Once decided, they would move forward with their decision! That's how they are able to reach such high levels of martial arts ability."
"But someone like you, who's watching your back all the time, behave cowardly and fear the consequences and effects of killing someone who deserves to die, has a weak mind, so you will only go this far in life. You might try very hard all your life, but never enter the Sky Ranking!"
"Shut up!" Ye Fan's low voice was still echoing when Tang Hao finally lost his temper and roared angrily at Ye Fan as he slammed the table and got up with a start. His face was livid.
"How dare you say that my mind is weak! How dare you say that I'll never enter the Sky Ranking? I, Tang Hao, am one of the six pillars of China and a member of War God Castle! I am held in high regard and I lord it over this country! How dare a youngster like you teach me what to do! How dare you criticize my life this way! What utter nonsense!" The wooden tables and chairs instantly exploded as Tang Hao's furious voice boomed.
Even the LCD TV behind Tang Hao exploded to pieces from his fury.
Tang Hao was really angered by Ye Fan's audaciousness.
He had practiced martial arts for many years and had been revered for most of his life. Even Ye Qing-Tian didn't dare to despise him like this.
But now, a young man with no reputation or background whatsoever was declaring boldly that his mind wasn't strong enough and that it would be nearly impossible for him to ever get into the Sky Ranking.
"Since you despise me so much, then I want to see if an audacious young punk like you really has the right to despise me or not!" exploded Tang Hao in fury as his aura intensified and he walked out of the living room.
Tang Hao stood confidently under the night sky and his authoritative voice resounded clearly, "Young man, do you dare to come out and fight with me?” "And why not?" Ye Fan smiled arrogantly
before leaping out into the open as well.
A huge fight just broke out like that.
There was no build up or catalyst.
The moment Ye Fan appeared outside the house, Tang Hao made his first attack and it was a fierce one.
The small hammer around Tang Hao's waist flew up and started expanding in the wind. In no time, a gigantic black hammer was in Tang Hao's hands as his presence soared.
