Chapter 549: Genius
Ye Fan didn't have any pride because he defeated the emperor, because he knew that being able to defeat the emperor today was actually a big fluke, and a large part of it came with the help of external forces.
If there was no Heaven Shaking Armor and Star Sword, simply competing with his own strength, even if Ye Fan had the help of Star Wing and Fire Absolute Power, he would never be the opponent of Emperor Ji.
It's just that the current Ye Fan is stronger than the emperor in terms of equipment, which does not mean that he can still rely on the power of the equipment in the future, after all, the emperor has the support of the entire Heaven and Earth Fighting Martial Arts Arena behind him, and when the emperor is doing it today, he has no equipment except for the golden sword in his hand.
To say that the Emperor Ji can't get other equipment to strengthen his own strength, it is simply impossible, with the status of the Emperor in the Heaven and Earth Fighting Martial Arts, as well as his own talent and the strength of the Heaven and Earth Fighting Martial Field, even if he can't get the treasures of the second artifact level, there is no problem in getting the treasures of the peak holy weapon level.
It can be said that part of the emperor's failure today comes from his pride, the previous emperor has never met a young generation of strong people who can compete with him, so he has never thought of using equipment to improve his strength.
In Di Ji's view, equipment is a foreign object after all, and the most fundamental thing is his own strength, if he has a few more treasures on his body today, then the final outcome may change greatly.
Therefore, Ye Fan did not have the slightest pride, he knew that the next time Emperor Ji would never make such a mistake again, and when the time came to fight again, he would still have to rely on his own strength.
Three years is enough to change a lot, although Ye Fan's strength has improved very quickly, in just over a year, he has been promoted from a high-level warrior to the peak of the emperor rank, but most of the credit comes from his several adventures.
Now it is almost the limit to be promoted to the peak of the imperial rank, and if he wants to improve in the future, he can only rely on his own penance, after all, the strength that has been improved by adventure is still not comparable to the strength of his own penance.
When he reached the peak of the Emperor Rank, the next step was the Emperor Rank, and the gap between the two was huge, even if Ye Fan was confident that his talent was not inferior to anyone, and his realm and comprehension were even more powerful, but if he wanted to advance to the Emperor Rank, he could not do it in a short period of time.
Now that Ye Fan has reached the peak of the emperor rank for a while, his strength has improved a lot during this time, especially when he enters the innate realm, which has made his combat effectiveness qualitatively improved, but that is only combat effectiveness.
In terms of the improvement of the fighting spirit, in the past month, Ye Fan felt that his fighting spirit had only improved a little bit, and if he wanted to touch the bottleneck of the emperor rank, he still didn't know how far away.
According to Ye Fan's estimate, with his current cultivation speed, if he wants to touch the bottleneck of the emperor rank, even if it is a daily penance, it will take at least half a year, and this is only touching the bottleneck, after encountering the bottleneck, if he wants to break through, he doesn't know how long it will take.
Even if it is conservatively estimated, if Ye Fan wants to be promoted to the emperor rank, it will take at least one year, and in the remaining two years, whether Ye Fan can reach the intermediate level of the emperor rank is a big problem, after all, the stronger the strength, the more difficult it will be if he wants to improve his strength.
And in the past three years, the emperor will never stand still, I am afraid that after three years, the emperor has successfully stepped into the honorable rank.
The gap between the emperor rank and the honorable rank is even greater, the emperor rank still belongs to the category of people, and the honorable rank has completely departed from the category of people, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it can definitely be called a god.
Even the weakest Honorable Rank powerhouse is enough to support a second-rate force, and even among those super forces, the number of Honorable Rank powerhouses is limited, and each of them is the mainstay of it.
In other words, even if Ye Fan was able to raise his realm to the middle level of the Emperor Rank after three years, or even the Advanced Emperor Rank, it would be impossible for him to be the opponent of the Emperor Pole after the advancement.
This is not to say that Ye Fan's talent is not as good as Emperor Ji, but because his starting point is too low, more than a year ago, although Ye Fan's talent was good, it was only limited to a small place like Tianfeng City, and there was a world of difference from an existence like Emperor Ji.
And in this year's time, although Ye Fan has made rapid progress, he is like a castle in the air, and his foundation is not strong, but a genius like Emperor Ji has grown up in a super force since he was a child, with endless resources to enjoy, and there are many strong people who personally guide him.
Even if he had a god-level powerhouse to guide him, growing up in such an environment, even a person with mediocre talent was enough to have strong strength, let alone an immortal genius like Emperor Ji.
Therefore, in front of the emperor, Ye Fan does not have any qualifications to be proud of, in terms of background, behind the emperor stands the first super force in the Star Continent, but behind Ye Fan there is only one Ye family, two teachers, one is an emperor-level powerhouse, and the other is a god-level powerhouse, but only the soul exists, and there is no comparison with the emperor.
As for other aspects, the same is true, if Ye Fan has anything to be proud of, then there is his understanding and opportunity.
But in the face of the challenge of the emperor, Ye Fan will never have any retreat, if he retreats today, then it means that he is afraid of the emperor in his heart, and he has no confidence to use it for challenges, such a mentality, there will never be a chance to become a top powerhouse.
And once he refuses today, then Ye Fan's heart will be flawed, and it will be even more difficult to improve the realm, and there may even be a phenomenon of realm regression.
No matter from any aspect, Ye Fan has no reason to refuse, and he will not have any thoughts of refusal, no pressure, no motivation, the existence of Emperor Ji is his biggest motivation, and Emperor Ji is the same, today's failure will be a strong driving force for him to move forward in the future.
This combination of pressure and motivation will create a virtuous cycle between the two, allowing them to make rapid progress.
Hearing Di Ji's challenge, as well as Ye Fan's engagement, the surrounding audience boiled again, and now in their hearts, Di Ji and Ye Fan are already the top geniuses, and the battle between them is enough to attract the attention of many people, and many people even think about whether they should come here again in three years to watch this battle of geniuses.
Ye Fan and Di Ji are about the same age, almost the same strength, the same genius, their future is the same brilliance, and they may even become the pillars of the Star World, being able to witness the growth of this kind of strong person is enough to make anyone excited.
