I Transmigrated Into a Fantasy World and Write a Diary to Get Stronger, But the Female Leads Are All Acting Strange - Chapter 13:

Chapter 13: Witnessing the Male and Female Leads Battle Live!

After confirming Wang Defa’s location through careful communication, Li Yinchuan rushed over at full speed, praying that Ye Fan hadn’t found the Ink God Stone yet.

…

Ten minutes later, Li Yinchuan successfully located Wang Defa. Seeing the crooked-neck tree behind him, Li Yinchuan could tell from a distance—it was indeed hideous.

Joy sparked in Li Yinchuan’s heart: This is it!

“Brother-in-law, you’re here!” Wang Defa was overjoyed.

“Cut the chatter and start digging.”

Without wasting time, Li Yinchuan pulled out a shovel he had prepared beforehand and tossed one to Wang Defa. Together, they began digging beneath the ugly, crooked tree.

“Is there treasure under this tree?” Wang Defa guessed as he dug along.

Li Yinchuan dug with urgency, determined to find the Ink God Stone before Ye Fan arrived. In just two minutes, a massive pit had been dug out beneath the crooked tree. The roots were nearly all severed—he almost chopped down the whole tree.

“Brother-in-law, there’s something here!” Wang Defa, sharp-eyed, spotted something buried in the dirt.

Li Yinchuan used the shovel to uncover it, brushing off the soil to reveal its true appearance. It was an oval-shaped stone, deep jade green in color, without a single impurity. About the size of a fist, smooth and translucent, even purer than jade.

“Wow, what a beautiful stone. Is this what you were looking for?” Wang Defa asked curiously. He had never seen a stone this stunning.

“Yeah.” Li Yinchuan nodded and stored the Ink God Stone in his storage ring.

Rustle—

Just as he stashed the stone away, a sound came from the forest behind them.

Wang Defa turned around, his pupils dilated as he stammered, “Bro-brother-in-law, he’s here…”

Li Yinchuan didn’t need to guess—it had to be Ye Fan. Looking back, sure enough, it was him.

“Hmph, what luck. Never thought I’d run into you two mongrels here.” Ye Fan sneered coldly, approaching them with a club in hand. When he got closer and saw the large pit behind Li Yinchuan, realization struck him.

“You took the treasure?”

Ye Fan had rushed over the moment Old Qin sensed the treasure’s presence, only to find it had already been claimed.

“No matter. I’ll beat you first, then take the treasure back!” His face twisted into a sneer. Yesterday’s humiliation of being burned, and now today’s loss of treasure—he’d settle all of it at once.

Wang Defa took a few nervous steps back. He had witnessed Ye Fan go toe-to-toe with three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators yesterday. As someone at the 5th stage Qi Refining Realm, he stood no chance.

“Then let me see just how strong you, the protagonist, really are.” Li Yinchuan tossed aside his shovel, itching for a fight. 

He still had the Thorn Armor for protection. There was no need to fear getting one-shotted.

Suddenly—whoosh! Another sound came from nearby.

The three of them turned to look—someone else had arrived.

The newcomer wore a veil, hiding her face, but the fiery red dress and curvaceous figure gave her identity away in an instant.

“Sister Xu?” Li Yinchuan called out.

“Tch, boring. Got recognized.” Xu Feng’er heard her name and gave up pretending. She took off the veil with a disinterested look on her face.

Li Yinchuan was speechless. Woman, you’re wearing the exact same outfit as yesterday. If you didn’t want to be recognized, at least try a different look.

“It’s you!” Ye Fan’s pupils shrank when he saw her.

This was the woman who had burned his clothes yesterday!

He never expected to run into her again today.

“I, Ye Fan, don’t hit women. I don’t want to fight you. Just hand over that kid and the fat one, and we’ll call it even,” Ye Fan said.

Xu Feng’er chuckled coldly. “Beat me first, then talk.”

To stop Ye Fan from becoming a disciple of Heavenly Purple Star Sect, Xu Feng’er had decided to act personally. She’d cripple him, make sure he didn’t get a single flag—cutting off all future trouble at the root.

Xu Feng’er released her cultivation aura and pulled out a red-tasseled spear from her storage ring. Flames flickered at the tip as she thrust it at Ye Fan.

“Careful! This girl is at the peak Foundation Establishment Realm!” Old Qin’s voice echoed in Ye Fan’s mind.

“Damn it!” Ye Fan’s expression tightened as he quickly drew his black wooden staff to block.

Xu Feng’er’s first strike was blocked, but she followed with another. Her Fire Phoenix Spear Technique had reached mastery. Every strike carried searing flame energy.

Ye Fan defended with his Black Serpent Staff Technique, but he struggled. After only a few moves, he was already running low on spiritual Qi. His 7th stage Qi Refining Realm was too weak.

“Damn it! Why are you targeting me?” Ye Fan shouted, forced to the ground by Xu Feng’er’s fierce strike within ten moves.

“Hmph, do I need a reason to beat you up? I just don’t like you,” Xu Feng’er said with disdain. Like hell she’d sacrifice herself to you!

“Master, help me.” Ye Fan glared at Xu Feng’er and silently called out to Old Qin.

“Sigh, alright. Relax your mind,” Old Qin replied.

Old Qin was still in spirit form. He wouldn’t possess Ye Fan unless absolutely necessary—it consumed too much soul power. Only in life-or-death situations or emergencies would he take over. If Ye Fan fell here, he’d lose his chance to enter the sect. Without entry, everything else would be meaningless.

Suddenly, Ye Fan’s aura changed drastically. His cultivation surged from the 7th stage Qi Refining Realm straight up to peak Core Formation Realm!

Li Yinchuan, who was just spectating, paled and shouted, “Sister Xu, careful! He’s been possessed!”

“Possessed?!” Xu Feng’er paused her assault and examined Ye Fan’s aura. Somehow, it had jumped to the peak Core Formation Realm—one full major realm higher than her!

“Ye Fan” narrowed his eyes at Li Yinchuan. 

Was that random shouting, or did this kid actually see through it? If it was the latter, then this brat couldn’t be left alive. If word got out that he survived, Ye Fan wouldn’t live another seven days!

“Sister Xu, let’s leave,” Li Yinchuan said. He knew as long as they didn’t initiate an attack, that old Qin guy usually wouldn’t make a move.

“Hmph, peak Core Formation Realm? I’m not scared!” Xu Feng’er snorted, spun her spear, and charged again.

Ye Fan stood still. As the red-tasseled spear stabbed toward him, he raised two fingers and pinched the tip.

No matter how much force Xu Feng’er used, the spear didn’t budge.

“Little girl, that’s not nearly enough strength,” Ye Fan chuckled softly.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, he sent Xu Feng’er flying. Her spear fell to the ground beside her.

“Let’s end it here today,” Old Qin said calmly. He didn’t intend to continue. Any more would drain his soul too much. As for revenge, that could wait for Ye Fan to handle himself.

He had seen Ye Fan’s fate. This boy was the chosen one and would one day stand atop the entire continent. Dealing with a mere Foundation Establishment Realm insect? That was easy.

“Think again!” Xu Feng’er, lying on the ground, raised her head. Flames flickered in her eyes, and her entire aura entered a strange state.

“Holy shit! She ignited herself!” Li Yinchuan’s eyes widened. 

Witnessing the protagonist and female lead clash live… what did that feel like?

Hmm… in this case, quite literally a battle.
