After the competition between the two races, Ye Xuan's reputation swiftly spread among the Shadow Demon Clan. Although Ye Xuan was a human, it did not affect his popularity. For the people of the Shadow Demon Clan, the fact that a human slave like Ye Xuan could defeat the young generation of the Flame Demon Clan greatly boosted their pride.
After that battle, Ye Xuan's cultivation had somewhat loosened, mainly due to the Human Emperor's Scepter, which had absorbed a considerable amount of energy. Although most of this energy had gone to the Human Emperor's Scepter, a small part still remained in Ye Xuan's body.
Over the following month, Ye Xuan was immersed in intensive closed-door cultivation. This month of spiritual practice showed quick results, and his cultivation finally reached the level of a Fifth Grade Martial Venerate.
However, for the current Ye Xuan, cultivation was no longer too important—at least, it was not the decisive factor in his strength.
