A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2353 Emerging From Seclusion

"You rascal, before I even realized it, you had already left me far behind. Believe it or not, your reputation now surpasses that of Chu Tianfan, who was once considered the strongest in the world."

Mo Wuya spoke with undeniable pride.

He had been in conflict with Ye Fan for many years, and even his own father had countless disagreements with Ye Fan.

However, later on, Ye Fan's strength and status advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing what they, father and son, could ever compete with.

Yet deep down, Mo Wuya still felt somewhat unconvinced. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Now, with his best friend surpassing Ye Fan's achievements, Mo Wuya undoubtedly felt extremely elated.

From now on, even if he were to meet Ye Fan again, he would no longer need to fear him.

If Chu Tianfan dared to stir up trouble, he would have Zhang Nanhai use his titan to teach Chu Tianfan a lesson.

However, he kept such thoughts to himself.

At present, there were no longer any conflicts of interest between Mo Wuya and Ye Fan. It seemed unlikely that they would meet again in the future.

"Indeed, Nanhai. You've really become quite impressive now. All these years, there have only been two people I've truly admired. One of them was my cousin, Ye Fan. He started as an abandoned child from the Chu family, a humble and ordinary man. Step by step, he ascended to the pinnacle of

the world, leading his entire family toward prosperity. The other one was you. At a tender age, you've already devised a formation that could save the world. You breathed new life and hope into a world that had already succumbed to despair. Your stature and contributions, your magnanimity and vision, have already surpassed my cousin Ye Fan. Although my cousin is highly capable, he lacks your kind of compassion and ambition to save the world."

Jiang Yuqing stopped to take a breath before continuing, "To be honest with you, even up to now, despite you having developed a world-saving formation and with the entire globe still looking down upon escapism, my cousin still ordered his subordinates to evacuate our relatives and friends. My mother has repeatedly asked me to come home, but I don't want to leave. Earth is my home. I love the flora and fauna here; I cherish everything about it. I don't want to be a deserter. I want to coexist with Earth, to live or die together. I want to fight alongside everyone. Moreover, I firmly believe that you will undoubtedly lead us all to achieve the ultimate victory."

Jiang Yuqing spoke with a smile, her beautiful eyes filled with nothing but admiration and respect for Zhang Nanhai.

However, in response to their words, Zhang Nanhai repeatedly shook his head.

"You two shouldn't speak like that. Mr. Ye has always been a martial arts senior whom I deeply respect. He was truly impressive, great, and also very charismatic! Back when I was contemplating the Titan Formation at Mount Kransbay, I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from Mr. Ye. That must have been the greatest honor of my life! Mr. Ye's profound understanding of the laws of heaven and earth and the study of martial arts truly astounded me. His insights greatly enlightened me! I've always felt that my successful comprehension of the Titan Formation was largely due to the immense help provided by Mr. Ye!" he uttered sincerely.

His respect for Ye Fan was beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.

However, Mo Wuya and Jiang Yuqing did not see it that way.

"Nanhai, you're too modest. For you, Chu Tianfan might be a martial arts senior. However, we are about the same age as him, so there's no need for you to refer to yourself as a junior. Moreover, while Chu Tianfan's strength is indeed formidable, martial arts and formations are two distinct fields. As the saying goes, different people specialize in different skills. In terms of martial arts, he's your senior. But when it comes to formations, you are indeed the senior. There's no need to belittle yourself!" Mo Wuya said with a faint smile.

Beside him, Jiang Yuqing nodded in agreement. "Yes, what Wuya said is right. Moreover, Ye Fan has a peculiar temperament. He's extremely unsociable and doesn't show much respect or affection, even to his blood relatives. But Nanhai, you are completely different from my cousin. You are gentle and kind, always treating others well, and you are a gentleman. In this respect, my cousin is far inferior to you, and it is destined that the heights you can reach will far surpass those of his."

Admiration shone in her eyes as she did not hesitate to lavish praise on Zhang Nanhai.

Zhang Nanhai knew that no matter how he explained this matter, it would be futile.

Therefore, he didn't pursue the topic any further.

He turned and said, "Wuya, Yuqing, you don't understand the pressure I'm under right now. Previously, I disagreed with everyone abandoning Earth and directing all their energy toward the Mars Migration Mission. But now, I'm not entirely in favor either, as everyone seems to have placed all their energy and hopes on the Titan Formation. However, public opinion is powerful, and there were many things that even I couldn't prevent. Nonetheless, I still worry. What if the Titan Formation is still not enough to go up against the Universe Tree?"

The developments in the situation over the past few years had greatly exceeded Zhang Nanhai's expectations.

As a result, the pressure within him grew increasingly immense.

However, both Mo Wuya and Jiang Yuqing had an inexplicable faith in Zhang Nanhai.

"Nanhai, you must believe in yourself! We have already read your theories about the Titan Formation. According to your theory, the Titan Formation is certainly capable of defeating the Universe Tree. And we, as humans, will surely have the last laugh!" Jiang Yuqing encouraged.

Mo Wuya also nodded in agreement. "That's right, Nanhai. The entire world believes in you, so why should you worry? Just give it your all! Even if that one in ten thousand chance of failure becomes reality, we will accept it!"

"All right, I will work hard." Hearing his friends' unwavering support, Zhang Nanhai undoubtedly felt a surge of motivation.

Then, with utmost enthusiasm, he once again immersed himself in perfecting the Titan Formation.

From the initial fusion of ten people, to the merging of a hundred, and then to the amalgamation of a thousand.

The upper limits of the Titan Formation continued to ascend.

However, as the strength of the titans grew increasingly formidable, eventually, Zhang Nanhai lost all concept of the titans' power.

The measure of something's strength or weakness required comparison, and there were only a few Supremes worldwide.

Once the Supremes merged, who could they find to battle against them?

At that moment, Zhang Nanhai thought of Ye Fan.

Therefore, he hurried to Mount Kransbay, hoping to invite Ye Fan to leave the mountain and serve as the sparring partner for the titans.

Ye Fan was the most powerful individual of that era.

The extent to which the strength of a titan surpassed that of its constituent Supremes could undoubtedly be proven through a battle with Ye Fan.

After all, if his Titan Formation couldn't even defeat Ye Fan, how could it possibly stand against the Universe Tree?

However, despite several attempts, Zhang Nanhai was unable to meet Ye Fan.

After all, Ye Fan was in solitary training.

Gaius and Coal were both by Ye Fan's side, guarding him.

No one was allowed to approach at all.

Zhang Nanhai felt helpless.

He had no choice but to return to China and patiently wait for the day Ye Fan would emerge on his own.

However, Zhang Nanhai didn't have to wait too long for that day to arrive.

In the fourth year since the birth of the Titan Formation.

In the long-silent land of Kransbay, a sudden burst of radiant light pierced the sky.

Immediately after, an incredibly powerful aura swept across all directions.

Surprisingly, even the Universe Tree swayed under this formidable force.

The leaves of the Universe Tree rustled softly.

Even the Chu residence, thousands of miles away, and Tang Yun, who had been teaching her son, felt something. They looked up in the direction of Mount Kransbay.

At that time, Gaius was fishing by the nearby lake.

Suddenly, a fierce wind blew, causing the leaves of the Universe Tree to rustle.

Upon witnessing this, Gaius couldn't help but be greatly astonished!

"Something is making the leaves of the Universe Tree sway? In this world, apart from those titans, there's probably only one person left capable of doing that! It must be Dragon Master!"

Upon realizing this, Gaius was undoubtedly overjoyed.

He knew that Ye Fan, who had been in seclusion here for five long years, had finally emerged!

Filled with delight, Gaius tossed aside his fishing rod and ran back to the peak of Mount Kransbay.

He knelt beneath the Universe Tree.

As expected, a slender figure emerged, stepping over the mottled shadows beneath his feet as he confidently walked forward.

The Universe Tree had become his silhouette, while the heavens and the earth served as his backdrop!
