A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1289 A Mysterious Island

"Yan-Xi, let's go," said Kong Ming as he turned to walk away. He couldn't be bothered to talk to Lv Hua further.

Left behind in a state of confusion, Lv Hua mumbled, "What exactly did I do offend you?"

Everyone had left by now.

The martial artists from various countries started their journey back home after a brief respite.

The hunt was over and the whereabouts of the spirit energy fruits had been found and its fate decided upon. There was no reason for them to stay on.

Only the martial artists from India remained.

Reilo and the rest had barely managed to defend themselves from Ye Fan in their fight earlier. Even though they were fortunate to be still alive, they were not far from death and had trouble walking. Even so, Reilo and the rest gritted their teeth and bore with the severe pain in their bodies as they dug a few graves to bury their comrades.

Soon, a few graves with low headstones were created in this rainforest.

Reilo and the rest who were still alive paid their respects in front of the graves.

BAM!

Suddenly, Reilo threw a hard punch onto the ground beneath his feet.

With blazing eyes and clenched teeth, he gave a low roar, "Ye Fan! You killed my brothers and hurt my fellow countrymen. The Indian martial arts circle will wage war on you! I vow with my life to kill you!!!" His wrathful and malicious voice was like the roaring of the thunder that echoed deep in the rainforest.

A strong gust of wind swept by and birds scattered and flew towards the sky in shock.

The sunlight was like water that seeped through the dense canopy in the rainforest and colored spots formed where the rays of light fell.

The sunlight had driven away the darkness in this place.

But it was not able to drive away the chilly feeling that one got.

"Bro, what do we do next? Do we just go back to India like this?" After a long moment, someone asked Reilo.

Reilo shook his head and replied coldly, "Go back to India? Why should we go back? We are far from finishing what we are supposed to do."

Reilo raised his head and looked far ahead of him with a sudden glint in his eyes.

Ye Fan had already left the valley for quite some time.

It looked like he was ready to leave the

Amazon rainforest and head back to China.

When he was halfway out of the rainforest, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and with an uncertain look, then turned to gaze in a particular direction behind him.

Along his way out, Ye Fan had discovered a pure and dense natural energy that seemed to be radiating intermittently from a certain part of the rainforest.

At first, Ye Fan had thought that it was because there were remnants of spirit energy surrounding the spirit energy fruit trees and they had not dissipated fully. But Ye Fan felt increasingly strange as time went by.

This energy was a lot denser than the natural energy from the spirit energy trees.

And it could only be felt intermittently.

If it wasn't because Ye Fan's senses were sharper than the average human's, he wouldn't have discovered this energy.

"This is strange. Could there be a fourth spirit energy tree?" Ye Fan guessed with a frown.

Out of curiosity, Ye Fan decided to check out the energy source. Relying on his senses, Ye Fan started to move slowly in the direction of the energy source.

The path was filled with trees and thorny bushes. Occasionally, Ye Fan could hear the roars from wild beasts.

As he walked deeper into the rainforest, the trees became a lot taller and bigger. Their branches were thicker and their leaves green and lush.

The lushness of the green leaves almost blocked out the sunlight from above.

It was clearly still daytime but under the cover of the dense canopy, it was dark as night.

Ye Fan no longer knew where he was in the rainforest. There was nothing that could be seen and heard except for the big ancient-looking trees and the roaring sounds made by the wild beasts. The air was stil and heavy with darkness. Surely a person who was all alone in this rainforest would be terror-stricken.

But not Ye Fan, as he was no average person. In fact, he did not fear much since he was confident of his own ability.

But the nearer he was to the place filled with natural spirit energy, the more nervous Ye Fan got. He started to walk a lot more cautiously.

For some reason, Ye Fan kept having the feeling that something was amiss along the way to the energy source.

He did not know why but he felt a foreboding, unseen danger surrounding him.

In spite of this, his curiosity coupled with his strong desire for power drove Ye Fan deeper into the rainforest, towards the source of spirit energy.

Ye Fan had a hunch that the rainforest was hiding a secret deep in its core.

It was possible that the secret was a treasure far more valuable than the spirit energy fruits.

If this was really the case, Ye Fan would try all means to lay his hands on it!

His goal in coming here was to try and find treasures formed by nature. These naturally formed treasures could help him advance in his cultivation of martial arts. The spirit energy fruits were valuable only to martial artists below grandmaster level.

The fruits were not much help to Ye Fan actually.

Because of this reason, while others thought Ye Fan had a bountiful harvest on this trip, only he knew that he was, in fact, as good as going back empty-handed. This was also the reason that drove Ye Fan to take a risk and check out the place emitting the natural spirit energy.

After a long walk, Ye Fan seemed to have reached the end of the rainforest.

He suddenly had a clear vision as the space in front of him opened out, unblocked by any trees!

A gentle breeze swept over Ye Fan, refreshing him immediately.

"This is...?" A huge lake appeared in front of him as Ye Fan stepped out of the rainforest.

The waters were of a brilliant deep blue, much like a huge sapphire that had been embedded into this ancient land.

The waters were clear and the Ye Fan could vaguely see the blue sky and fluffy white clouds from where he stood. This was a surreal place.

Ye Fan's vision power was above average and yet, he could not see where the lake ended.

One could only imagine how big this lake was.

If it wasn't because this lake contained freshwater, Ye Fan would have thought he was standing in front of an ocean.

In the middle of the lake was a small island.

The dense natural spirit energy seemed to be coming from that small island.

Ye Fan suddenly smiled broadly as he observed the surroundings.

"The island is surrounded by the waters with no boat in sight, which means that the lake is the natural barrier to the island!

Even a grandmaster would not be able to cross this vast amount of water and step onto the island. But while this lake can stop a grandmaster, it can't stop me. Today, I will step onto the island and find the secret that this island has been hiding!" Ye Fan laughed haughtily as he stood in front of the lake, his hands behind his back.

Once he had finished speaking, Ye Fan raised his foot and stepped onto the lake.

His movement caused waves of ripples on

the water.

Ye Fan walked effortlessly on the surface of the lake, his movements quick and smooth, just like the legendary dragon who could command water.

He was moving so quickly that a long white line of water could be seen behind him. He was like a snake that was gliding effortlessly across the ground or a dragon soaring over the four seas.

If Mike Jones and the rest could see Ye Fan now, they would probably be in shock.

Because a grandmaster could neither suspend himself in the air nor walk on water.

In other words, this youngster walking on the lake towards the island was...a supreme grandmaster!!!
