《Reborn Immortal King in City》


 C1

    China, Beijing City.


    The summer night''s storm was unrestrained on this bustling land. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and a bright white light flashed across the sky like a long dragon.


    In a quiet jungle in the suburbs, a figure stood rooted to the spot like a ghost.


    "Boom!"


    There was another flash of white light, reflecting this thin figure.


    His face was haggard, his clothes were tattered, and the rain water was stained with the blood on his body. Under the contrast of this lightning light, he looked like a zombie.


    "This is?" The night of his third year? I, Ye Chen, am actually back? "


    The corners of the youth''s mouth slightly moved as he muttered to himself, slowly regaining his senses.


    In the next instant, rays of light burst out from those pitch-black pupils. Wherever they looked, they seemed to pierce through everything. The temperature around them seemed to plummet by several degrees as well.


    Xiao Yan clenched his fist tightly. His knuckles turned white and his fingers pierced deep into his palm. At the same time, the clear sound of bones rubbing together appeared exceptionally clear in the dense forest.


    Because in the young man''s memories, this night was the greatest shame and humiliation of his life.


    "Ye Chen, it''s your birthday today, I will be waiting for you in room 501 of the Hanting Inn..."


    Receiving this short message from his girlfriend, Ye Chen''s heart was filled with joy.


    He was born in a remote small town in South Sky City. His family was poor and it took a lot of effort for him to get here to the capital city to study in Beijing''s high school.


    The childhood sweetheart, Fang Zi Ning, also came to this school. The two of them had known each other since they were young, and they had been together ever since.


    It had also been more than five years since Fang Zi Ning had become her girlfriend. The relationship between the two of them was even more like glue, inseparable.


    During this holiday a month before the college entrance exam, his girlfriend being so considerate in celebrating his birthday could be said to be the best reward in this tense third year of preparation. All of a sudden, the fatigue in his body and mind seemed to vanish like a wisp of smoke at this moment.


    Ye Chen rushed to the inn as fast as he could. He held the rose he bought for his girlfriend in his hand, and knocked on the door gently, as if he was afraid of disturbing the goddess inside.


    However, the sound coming from the door made Ye Chen''s palm look like it had been electrocuted.


    Ye Chen opened his phone and checked his room number. It was 501, that''s right!


    "What''s going on?"


    The youth''s expression immediately darkened. His original happiness and excitement also turned into doubt at this moment.


    Just as Ye Chen was about to force his way in, the door opened from inside to outside with a creaking sound. However, the scene that appeared right in front of him was definitely a nightmare that Ye Chen would never forget for the rest of his life!


    Fang Zi Ning was indeed here. She lay on the bed in untidy clothes. Her thin gauze dress slipped a little, revealing the young girl''s impressive figure and her peerlessly beautiful face.


    On her fair cheeks, there was a hint of red, which made her look cute. In terms of looks, she was definitely one of the top girls in Beijing High School. That was why people were so envious of Ye Chen for having such a girlfriend.


    However, when the girl looked at Ye Chen, who was standing at the door, her gentle and charming eyes suddenly turned into an endless coldness and ruthlessness.


    Beside her stood the young master of the Chen Clan, the sole successor of the Chen Clan, Chen Han.


    Before Ye Chen could say anything, the next sentence was as sharp as a sword, piercing right into his chest!


    "Ye Chen, let''s break up. People like you are not good enough for me. If it wasn''t for our old friendship, I would have dumped you long ago." You saw it, the reason why I called you here today is to make you completely give up! "


    In Ye Chen''s mind, there was a buzzing sound as the whole world turned gray and unreal.


    "Why!? Why did you do that! "


    The youth roared with all of his strength, but in response to his words, other than the sweet embrace of Fang Zi Ning and Chen Han, there was also the ferocious punch from the bodyguard in black who was already on standby!


    The rose in his hand fell powerlessly to the floor and was smashed to smithereens with a single stomp.


    "Why? Because you are poor, because you are weak, because you have nothing! A person like you is simply unworthy of coming to this school, and even more unworthy of being together with my Zi Ning! "


    Chen Han laughed, those words of ridicule and ridicule resonated in the youth''s mind over and over again.


    He, the noble young master of the Chen family, waved his hand. How could Ye Chen compare to his power and money?


    "Hit him! Save a breath and throw him out! Let him continue to live lowly!"


    Because they were weak, because they were poor, because they had nothing, they were destined to be oppressed!


    But how could the youth take it lying down!


    Even though his eyes were bloodshot and his entire body was bursting with power, he still fainted under the fists and kicks of the bodyguard in black.


    After that, everything was like a dream. His unconscious self seemed to have transmigrated into a whole new world.


    In the alternate world, the law of the jungle reigned supreme as did the strong. The only difference was that he had awakened the Nine Yang Saint Body, which was a rare occurrence in ten thousand years.


    Accidental opportunities obtained immortal guidance, the future lost path, the feet of all living things, a horse flat.


    Ten years. In a short ten years, Master Ye, Ye Hua Tuo, Sword God, Ye Qi Tian ¡­ Various names resounded throughout the world.


    The shame of the past had long since been wiped clean.


    However, just as he was about to condense his golden pellet and undergo the tribulation, he realized that all of this was just a conspiracy!


    At the final moment, the so-called master of immortals would take away his own body, cripple his cultivation and destroy his soul. All the nurturing was done with the source energy he had gained when he was at the peak of the Nine Yang Saint Body.


    Losing all these things, Ye Chen could only destroy his divine form, not enter the reincarnation cycle, and never reincarnate!


    He had thought that all of this would come to an end. All of their grudges and grudges could only be settled in his next life!


    However, the heavens seemed to have eyes.


    "Boom!"


    Another thunderous roar exploded, pulling Ye Chen back from his deep thoughts.


    Huge drops of rain filled the sky, but the teenager remained unmoved.


    "My sacred art, immortal power, and true essence are all gone. My cultivation in the foreign world has completely disappeared. But luckily, there is still a strand of true energy in my dantian that is required to enter the cultivation gate."


    Compared to Ye Chen, this tiny bit of Zhen Qi was like a speck of dust in the vast galaxy.


    Even if it was only a little bit of zhen qi, it could still give Ye Chen a power that ordinary people would not underestimate.


    Moreover, he had a spirit body that was rarely seen in tens of thousands of years, and a Nine Yang Saint Body that was as strong as the sun. This was one of the reasons why he was able to smoothly walk the path of cultivation in this world.


    "Eh? "What is this?"


    As Ye Chen was about to withdraw his consciousness, he realized that besides the masculine power of the Nine Yang Saint Body, there was also a bright thunder clashing inside his dantian.


    Although this small lightning bolt was not as grand and bright as the one in the sky, the frightening power and energy contained within it was not something that ordinary lightning could compare to.


    "This is the Aurous Core Origin Lightning!" What a pure thunder attribute energy! "


    This wisp of lightning should have been the wisp of source energy that was absorbed into his body while he was crossing the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison.


    With this Origin Lightning, if he could nurture and cultivate it well, then he would definitely be an existence comparable to the Nine Yang Saint Body. The world''s lightning and thunder would be his command!


    Lightning was originally a destructive type of natural power in the world. Compared to other attributes, it was incomparably tyrannical.


    This time, it could also be considered a blessing in disguise. This strand of Aurous Core Origin Lightning would become a great boost in the future.


    "With this little bit of true energy in my body, I can only barely be considered to be at the first level of the Mortal Realm. I have to think of a way to quickly increase my strength ¡­"


    Feeling the thin natural powers around him, Ye Chen sighed in his heart.


    If he wanted to return to those ten years of being a legend in a foreign world, all he needed was abundant resources and all sorts of rare treasures and fortuitous encounters.


    And this time, with the experience and knowledge left behind by someone from another world, whether it was in terms of cultivation or a medical formation, it was extremely easy.


    Heavy obstructions, layers of obstacles, they left behind countless pain and humiliation.


    Everything seemed like a dream, but it was real!


    This time, he had to make these people pay with their lives!


    Be it in a foreign world or on Earth!


    Despite the stormy weather, the youth was still standing tall and straight. Step by step, he walked towards the city he was familiar with.

    "Ding."


    In Yan Jing High School, the bell for the end of class rang urgently. This morning''s first period had also come to an end.


    Sitting in his seat quietly, Ye Chen had no intention of standing up, as he blocked the noise outside. From last night until now, he had been adapting and nurturing his body''s condition.


    "Brother Ye, did you get a car accident on holiday? How did you become like this?"


    The fat man patted on Ye Chen''s shoulder from behind, but at the moment his hand touched Ye Chen''s shoulder, the teenager''s body seemed to react like a conditioned reflex, his right arm grabbed back and held the fat man''s arm tightly like a pair of iron pliers.


    That sudden burst of terrifying power made Fatty''s face turn pale in an instant, and he couldn''t help but cry out.


    "Brother Ye!"


    The scream finally pulled Ye Chen back from his state of mind, and he quickly let go of his hand.


    The fat guy''s name was Xu Cong, one of Ye Chen''s closest friends. The two of them had known each other since they were young. Because he was older than Xu Cong, he had always been called Brother Ye.


    "Are you alright? I didn''t react at all."


    The look of vigilance and fierceness on Ye Chen''s face fleetingly disappeared, quickly returning to its normal look.


    Today, Ye Chen had already changed into a clean and tidy shirt, a simple white shirt, and a pair of jeans that had been washed a little bit white.


    However, the bruises on her cheeks and the slight swelling on her arms were still somewhat shocking.


    "Can''t react? "What''s the reaction?"


    The fatty held onto the arm that was in pain and muttered angrily.


    However, deep inside his heart, he was also a bit surprised. Just now, he felt like his brother was going to throw him over his shoulder, but with Ye Chen''s physique, no matter how he looked at it, he could not figure out where that power came from.


    However, before Ye Chen could reply, a sharp and harsh voice had already reached everyone''s ears.


    "Ye Chen, what, you were beaten up like a dog last night, do you still have the guts to come to school today?" You''re still trying to vent your anger on your lackeys? "


    Han City used one hand to support the chairs in the corridor, blocking the way. The lackeys behind them also came over with great tacit understanding.


    Upon seeing such an aggressive appearance, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.


    "What do you want to do in Korea? This is the classroom! "


    The fat man turned around and stood in front of Ye Chen.


    This Han City, with its family behind it, had always been domineering in this middle school, showing off its might. It was known as the "One Tyrant in Beijing".


    Previously, when he was bullying a student, a teacher tried to persuade him. In the end, he beat him up along with his teacher. After which, Han City was fine, but he expelled the other party instead.


    With these precedents, ordinary people would not dare to risk their lives to provoke such a person.


    "Classroom? So what? Could it be that our Big Brother Han wants to teach him a lesson, so what? "


    "That''s right, who do you think you are?"


    "Get out of the way, don''t court death!"


    The people behind Han City were already clamoring.


    "You! Don''t go too far! "


    The fatty could not help but curse when he saw the fiendish looks on those people''s faces. With his relationship with Ye Chen, he would naturally not leave Ye Chen alone.


    His face darkened and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he clenched his fists tightly.


    "Tsk tsk tsk, you coward, are you scared silly? "Why, do you not even dare to reply?"


    Seeing that Ye Chen was still as calm as before without any sign of fear, Han Cheng started to mock him even more.


    Towards someone who slapped his face to make him look fat and tried to keep up a good show, he felt a bit more angry at the bottom of his heart.


    "This is so noisy, can you guys be a little more obedient? Do you only know how to bully them every day? "


    Just as the two sides were at loggerheads, a young girl''s angry voice could be heard.


    In the front row, the girl was lazily lying on the table as she turned her head over. Her black hair was a bit messy, but it still couldn''t hide her pure and beautiful face. She rubbed her sleepy eyes. It was obvious that someone had disturbed her rest during this rare period of time.


    Seeing this lady''s voice, even the few people from Han City, who were incomparably arrogant earlier, restrained their emotions.


    "I never would have thought that School Beauty Liu would actually speak up for him. This is truly dog shit luck."


    "Looks like I won''t be able to watch the show today."


    In an instant, the surrounding spectators started discussing amongst themselves.


    Others might be afraid of the Han Family''s Han City, but their school flower, Liu Yingying''s, background was also not simple.


    "Hehe, you brat, you really are a cowardly turtle. Come out if you have the ability!"


    The Korean city continued to speak maliciously.


    Everyone seemed to have guessed that if Ye Chen dared to leave the classroom today, he would definitely end up in a miserable state.


    "Brother Ye, how can we ¡­"


    The fatty, who had calmed down, was hesitating. After all, the other party was approaching in full fury. Going up against the two of them was no different from going into a tiger''s den.


    "It''s nothing, move aside. Let me do it."


    Ye Chen waved his hand. His face was still as dark as water. He slowly walked up and stood in front of the group from Han City.


    Almost at the same moment when Ye Chen took the initiative to step out, the surrounding atmosphere instantly became tense once again.


    Some of them looked at Ye Chen as if he was an idiot.


    "Is this kid crazy?" If you stand out, aren''t you courting death? "


    Some of the people started to talk about Ye Chen''s overestimating himself and his suicidal behavior.


    But Ye Chen, as the person in question, seemed to have completely blocked all these attacks, as if he was completely unmoved by them.


    His pitch-black eyes had a peculiar luster to them that was deep to the point that it was impossible to see through.


    "Speak, why have you come to find me today?" If you want to make a move, you don''t have to block me in the classroom, right? "


    Ye Chen''s tone was just as calm as his face.


    I didn''t expect you to still have some brains. It seems like you weren''t broken last night, and I''m too lazy to waste words with you. Give me the keepsake that sister-in-law gave you.


    Speaking of this, the face of Han City was immediately filled with pride and arrogance. The sister-in-law that they were talking about was naturally Fang Zi Ning from before.


    "Look, this is your medical expenses, to prevent others from saying that our Big Brother Chen doesn''t care about morality. Take it, then you can scram."


    A peony bank card was casually thrown out by Han Cheng like trash. Along with that "pa" sound, it landed in front of Ye Chen''s feet.


    The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Everyone was staring at Ye Chen who was standing right in front of them, watching him bend his waist.


    This kind of cowardly act, made many people mock Ye Chen even more.


    Even the fat man, who was Ye Chen''s best friend, was looking at Ye Chen with a puzzled look on his face.


    On the other side, Liu Ying Ying''s eyes dimmed a little as she looked at Ye Chen. She was quite disappointed with this teenager who was still calm before.


    "Haha, Ye Chen, you just want money, don''t you? "I have ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    Just as the surrounding people were sighing and didn''t even bother to look at this coward, a clear and loud sound rang out in the next moment.


    The bank card that Ye Chen had just picked up drew a perfect curve in the air before landing right on the face of Han Cheng, who had been laughing and shouting just a second ago!


    A bright red imprint immediately appeared on the surface of Han City, and that ecstatic smile instantly froze. In the next second, it gradually became distorted and hideous.


    In an instant, even the surrounding spectators didn''t know how to react.


    No one would have thought that Ye Chen would actually do such a bold move. Or rather, it was simply a suicidal action.


    Not only did he not bow and kneel towards this young master of the Han family, he instead rejected him in the most forceful way.


    "You! Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don''t blame me for being impolite! Go, teach him a lesson! "


    Han City would no longer have any face after being humiliated in front of so many people. With a shout, those few people who were already ready to take action naturally understood. They did not mind casually teaching this former defeated opponent a lesson.


    Facing the few people rushing towards him, Ye Chen was very indifferent. Traces of coldness and ruthlessness faintly emerged in the young man''s black eyes. However, at this moment, the surrounding temperature seemed to have turned ice-cold.


    "Brother Ye, be careful!"


    The fatty behind him shouted anxiously.


    In front of Ye Chen, a man who did not lose to the fat guy in any way had already rushed over with a punch.


    One had to know that although the people around Han City weren''t top fighters or bodyguards, they were all experienced fighters. It was easy for them to take care of these 18-19 year olds.


    Some of them even closed their eyes or looked away, because they could all imagine how miserable it would be for Ye Chen to be beaten to a pulp and sent away.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bones twisting was accompanied by a scream, and it immediately spread throughout the entire classroom!


    However, what surprised everyone was that the one who screamed was not Ye Chen, who everyone had expected, but the burly man who had just attacked.


    At the moment, the latter''s thick wrists seemed to be held tightly by Ye Chen''s slightly smaller hands.


    "Kneel!"


    Ye Chen yelled, his voice full of power.


    "Plop!"


    He knelt on the ground, the veins on his forehead popping out as he cried out in pain.


    At this moment, not to mention those onlookers, even the fat man, who had always been close with Ye Chen, was shocked.


    When did this Brother Ye of his have such terrifying power? Not to mention a big man, even if the people from Han City were to attack together, they would probably be beaten to a pulp.


    The remaining subordinates had already been scared silly. They felt a chill on their backs and quickly retreated.


    As for Han City, he was so frightened that he could not say a single word. His complexion alternated between green and white as his legs began to tremble.


    He could imagine, if he was the one standing in front of Ye Chen right now, his arms would have been cut off!


    This sudden burst of power was not something that an ordinary person could possess.


    "What is it? Wasn''t it very arrogant just now? The keepsake you want is right here, so why not? "


    Ye Chen stood still indifferently, as he said that sentence. It was not a cold sentence, but it made everyone silent.


    "Stop! "Ye Chen, what are you doing?!"

 C3

    Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, interrupting the battle between Ye Chen and Han City.


    Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a middle-aged man with a belly full of oil walked into the classroom. Behind him were two security guards. From the looks of it, they had also come upon hearing the wind.


    It was this man who berated Ye Chen. Although this fat guy was not a teacher at Beijing High School and was part of the logistics staff, he was in charge of the discipline and security of the school. He had a lot of authority.


    He was normally a superior official with a pair of sharp eyes. For Ye Chen who did not have any background or support, he would naturally look at him coldly.


    "Ye Chen, this is a classroom, not a place for you to behave atrociously!"


    Wang Yun shouted, full of threat and reprimand.


    "Director Wang, today, Han City made the first move, you ¡­"


    "Shut up!" What I saw was Ye Chen hitting someone! Don''t I have eyes? "


    Just as Fatty was about to speak, this so-called Director Wang stopped him.


    Seeing that fat head Director Wang was smiling at Han City in an obsequious and attentive manner, Ye Chen knew that he could not argue with anyone about what had happened today.


    The collusion between these two had never given him any chance from the start.


    "Ye Chen, it seems like you are not the only one who is shameless. Your friends and your friends are just as shameless as you are!" People like you shouldn''t stay here. "


    Han City had changed from fear to arrogance once again.


    With his authority in the class, along with a burst of agreement from the group of followers, he seemed to have become the victim on his side all of a sudden.


    "Ye Chen, get out of here."


    "He should have been expelled. This is a classroom, not a dojo."


    "Hehe, you actually dare to oppose our Young Master Han. You overestimate yourself."


    One after another, discussions blotted out the sky as they rushed over. All kinds of sighs and taunts were unreservedly sent over.


    "You people!"


    The fatty roared angrily, but his roar was quickly drowned out.


    This so-called Director Wang was originally on the same side as Han City. Perhaps he had already colluded with them, so how could he possibly come here today to uphold justice?


    Justice was only something they could decide.


    "Ying Ying, should we help him?"


    Beside the pretty girl from before, her best friend was staring at Ye Chen with a worried look.


    Liu Ying Ying held her snow-white and exquisite chin in her hands, and her watery eyes blinked.


    She had been keeping an eye on Ye Chen since the beginning. The girl was somewhat enchanted by the calm and reserved unique temperament that was emitted from the other party.


    "You see, does he look like he needs our help?"


    Ye Chen was coldly looking at Director Wang, who was discussing something with Han City. He signaled Little Fatty to not say anything, then he slowly walked towards the door of the classroom.


    "Ye Chen, what are you doing?!" "Stop right there!"


    Director Wang was furious, he did not plan to let Ye Chen go so easily. Furthermore, if he did not show Ye Chen some colors, Director Wang would have underestimated Young Master Han.


    But why would Ye Chen care?


    He did not stop his footsteps towards the entrance of the classroom because of his scolding. He remained unhurried and calm.


    "Stop him. Regarding your matters, we need to discuss them with the administration department before deciding on a punishment!"


    "Halt!"


    When Director Wang took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Chen, he saw that Ye Chen did not even bat an eye, and directly crashed into him.


    Wang Yun''s face was cloudy and fierce. He didn''t believe that he wouldn''t be able to deal with this eighteen or nineteen year old student. With his nearly one hundred fifty kilograms capacity, Ye Chen who was standing in front of him was not even half of him.


    Using an egg to hit a rock was undoubtedly seeking death!


    "Hua Hua!"


    Along with the sound of tables and chairs sliding and the sound of wood breaking, everyone came back to their senses. They realized that Director Wang, who had a big belly, had been knocked back a few meters by Ye Chen.


    The tables and chairs behind him had also been knocked over.


    Currently, Supervisor Wang was no longer as domineering as before. He sat on the broken wooden board, his face turning green, and his fat face trembled in anger. He endured the pain and howled in a low voice.


    Ye Chen walked out of the classroom without looking back.


    This time, even the two security guards who had arrived at the same time were stunned on the spot. They did not dare to stop this seemingly ordinary youngster.


    The cold words that he had said made Director Wang swallow his anger!


    "Director Wang, let me tell you, this is not a place for you to behave atrociously!" "If you want to teach me, Ye Chen, a lesson, you are not qualified enough!"


    Leaving the classroom, he immediately left the school. For the time being, Ye Chen had no plans to go back.


    Based on his previous character, he had already made his move. With his current strength, it would be easy for him to take care of the henchmen like Han City and Director Wang.


    However, this only brought about retaliation from the Han family and the school. Even the people close to him would be implicated because of this.


    Currently, there was no power behind him that could contend against him.


    "Looks like I have to hurry up and think of a way to raise my strength. Otherwise, I''ll be bullied by this group of people!"


    Ye Chen murmured to himself.


    The moment he thought of Chen Han, the assassination group, his enemies, and the rest of the world, the youth unconsciously clenched his fists.


    No matter when, an individual''s strength would always be the key to reversing all of this.


    "Right now, I am only at the late stage of the first level of the Mortal Realm. If I want to reach the second level of the Mortal Realm, I will need at least a few months ¡­"


    Feeling the thin natural powers around him, Ye Chen could not help but frown.


    His cultivation realm was divided into several great realms, and under each great realm, there was one, two, three layers, each layer being divided into the later stages of the junior high school.


    And every step of the way, was extremely difficult. Of course, the further one went, the greater the gap in strength between the two neighboring realms would become.


    In order to raise his cultivation base, aside from requiring more time and abundant spiritual power, it also depended on his own talent and comprehension as well as his luck.


    And for Ye Chen, who had already reached the peak of this world, these bottlenecks naturally did not exist.


    "Wait until I reach the Second Sky of Mortal Realm, then I will be able to start training in the¡¶ Great Chaotic Art¡·. At that time, my strength will also experience a new level of improvement."


    Ye Chen looked at the bruise on his arm, and sighed.


    After all, he was only at the initial stage of his cultivation. Moreover, he didn''t have the assistance of cultivation techniques. It could only be said that his strength was limited to beating these hooligans. His body''s self-recovery ability also had a certain limit.


    However, with his previous accumulation of knowledge, as long as he stepped onto the path of Immortal cultivation, he would be able to gain divine assistance.


    The¡¶ Taiyi Primal Chaos Formula¡· was an ancient technique that Ye Chen had acquired from another world. It could be said that it had an extremely great effect on his pure Yang body.


    This sort of art seemed to be tailored for one''s own body. There were a total of eighteen levels, and when one reached perfection, they would split their soul, comprehend life and death, and use the reincarnation of the palm to create the primal chaos. With that kind of strength, moving mountains and filling the seas was already a piece of cake.


    However, the difficulty to cultivate and the requirements to break through were both difficult to compare with normal cultivation techniques. More importantly, the spiritual power and all kinds of heavenly resources that would be needed for the advancement were even more enormous.


    Even at the peak of his time in the Myriad Realms, he had only managed to train to eleven stances.


    "Since you want to go all out, this time around, you must not act rashly and anxiously."


    Having made up his mind, Ye Chen naturally would not hesitate anymore.


    "Right, that jade pendant!"


    Ye Chen suddenly sensed something and stopped.


    He took out the jade pendant that Fang Zi Ning had given him previously. To be exact, it should have been the jade pendant that Fang Zi Ning had been carrying around with her ever since she was young.


    "This is?" "Spiritual Energy?"


    Once again, he carefully examined this emerald green jade stone. Suddenly, Ye Chen''s eyes lit up.


    With his current level and strength as a cultivator, it was already extremely easy for him to distinguish spiritual energy from spiritual objects.


    And in this faint green glow of the jade quintessence core, there was a warm and incomparably warm Spiritual Energy fluctuation.


    Obviously, not only did this jade pendant have some history, it had been passed down for a very long time. This jade was definitely not something ordinary.


    Ye Chen slowly closed his eyes, his mind gradually sinking down. Within the jade, traces of pure spiritual power were constantly flowing into the body of the teenager.


    Compared to natural cultivation, the rate of absorption and the purity of the Spiritual Energy were over a hundred times greater.


    "Oh, it seems that heaven never bars one''s way!"


    When he opened his eyes again, the glow from the familiar jade seemed to have dimmed a little.


    And inside Ye Chen''s body, his cultivation, which was originally at the Late Mortal Realm Stage 1, had also improved a little.


    Since that was the case, it was a step closer to cultivating the¡¶ Tai Yi Primal Chaos Formula¡· after the breakthrough.


    "Since that''s the case, I can go over there and take a look. Perhaps I can try my luck ¡­"


    Ye Chen thought for a while before he sighed and walked towards the Yan Jing district.

 C4

    In a block in the western part of the Yan Jing city, Ye Chen passed through a few alleys and reached an antique street.


    Here, there were often some so-called martial artists who set up stalls to show off all kinds of coins, vases, weapons, accessories and other bizarre things.


    If it was any other person, it would be hard for them to tell if it was true or false, but for the current Ye Chen, it was all very easy.


    Ye Chen walked around the small stall on the roadside, but he only found one or two pieces of Jade Silk that had a thin amount of Qi left in them. Ye Chen went to a small antique shop.


    "Little friend, I wonder what you need. Take a look."


    Just as he entered, the shop assistant''s somewhat professional and polite words were transmitted over.


    However, after he had taken a good look at Ye Chen''s outfit in a blink of an eye, the look of contempt and disappointment in his eyes had been caught by Ye Chen, and he naturally did not continue to entertain him.


    Looking at the dazzling array of shelves filled with all kinds of treasures, he began to carefully inspect each item one by one.


    "Tsk, have you come here to broaden your horizons? These things are not things that you can understand. "


    The middle-aged shopkeeper at the front desk glanced at Ye Chen. After muttering to himself, he did not bother to pay any more attention to him.


    As Ye Chen was looking at the ancient coin on the counter, a disturbance came from the entrance of the shop.


    "Yo, Elder Su, what brings you here today?" Quick, invite him in! "


    "Little Li, hurry up and arrange something for Elder Su!"


    Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a group of people respectfully led a child and an old man through the entrance of the store.


    The old man had a head full of white hair and wore a gray tang suit. Along with his strong and aged temperament, he looked like a sage.


    Beside him was a seemingly twelve or thirteen year old little girl. Her big, watery eyes blinked as she sized up her surroundings.


    "Elder Su, it just so happens that this store brought over a batch of antiques from Jinling a few days ago. There are 5 or so rare items in them, I''ll bring them over for you to take a look right now."


    The owner of the shop ran all the way in front of Elder Su and greeted him personally, then indicated to the servants behind him that they had brought out many exquisite boxes.


    "This is He Tian Yu from the Song Dynasty. He was warm, transparent, and full of spirituality. This jade can be worn on a person''s body for a long period of time. It can improve their physique and protect them from harm."


    "This is a device excavated from the ruins of a previous dynasty. This item is called the Golden-Striped Dragon Dagger. It is incomparably sharp, and can slice through metal like mud ¡­"


    "..."


    The shopkeeper continued his introduction, while Elder Su beside him continued to size up the various treasures that were displayed. From time to time, he would stretch out his hand to play with them. It was obvious that he was quite interested in these antiques.


    Ye Chen only glanced at it once, and then he stopped looking at it.


    Although these items looked like precious treasures from the previous dynasty, they were in fact counterfeit items. From the Qi on it and the material of the item, Ye Chen could almost tell what it was.


    "Elder Su, there''s also an amazing oddity here. It''s a treasure that was personally identified by the Jiangnan generation Feng Shui master, Master Yu!"


    The shopkeeper''s voice suddenly rose in pitch, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.


    The rest of the customers in the shop and the people who were sizing up the treasures on the shelves also shifted their gazes over. Even the servants in the shop curiously looked over.


    Master Feng Shui of the Jiangnan generation, Master Yu, was an existence with a bit of a reputation. To be able to be worthy of the word ''master'', his abilities were naturally recognized by some people.


    Rumor has it that Master Yu was an expert in the profound arts of feng shui and was proficient in strange techniques. He had quite a bit of attainments in appraising treasures and could even modify spirit artifacts.


    "What is it? Take it out for me to take a look?"


    The little girl at the side seemed especially excited as she called out to the shopkeeper.


    Under the shopkeeper''s instructions, a simple and unadorned wooden box with engravings on the surface was placed on the table behind him. The box was opened with great care.


    Lying inside was a strange looking disk.


    This plate was neither round nor square. It had a jet-black luster to it, giving it a metallic luster. The edges of the walls were intertwined with each other in a circle. At the center of the object, faint golden lines gathered together. It was actually an Eight Trigram Formation Diagram.


    This is the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Disk that Grandmaster Yu has under his command. It can change the flow of the spirit energy in the world and gather the spirit energy in the surroundings.


    The shopkeeper spoke with great excitement and spittle flying everywhere.


    Everyone below the stage let out a wave of exclamations.


    One had to know that in the eyes of ordinary people, a spirit disc with such an effect was equivalent to being called a divine tool.


    If he could get it, it would be a blessing in disguise!


    "I never thought that there would be such a strange item in this place. I''ve really broadened my horizons by coming here today!"


    "That''s right. The spirit disks under Grandmaster Jiang-Nan are extremely rare!"


    "Standing here, I feel like I''ve absorbed the Spiritual Energy from this Spirit Board ¡­"


    Some people''s eyes were red as they sighed with envy, causing the manager to be even more proud of himself.


    Especially when he saw Old Man Su focusing his attention on studying this spirit disc, the shopkeeper''s expression sank into ecstasy. He spent a huge sum of money a few days ago to buy this spirit disc from a large scale auction just for the sake of offering it to this Elder Su before him.


    "Elder Su, this is something that I personally auctioned. It is definitely Master Yu''s real product. If you like it ¡­"


    The shopkeeper''s voice was full of flattery and flattery. Compared to the attitude he had towards Ye Chen before, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.


    "Hai."


    Ye Chen glanced at it uninterested, while secretly absorbing the Qi from the ancient coins in his hands, he sighed.


    Originally, Ye Chen was not very eye-catching here, but because everyone was gathered on the other side of the spirit tablet, this seemingly ordinary teenager seemed to have become special.


    "My friend, what do you think? Don''t tell me you understand this spirit artifact? "


    Old Man Su put down the Spirit Board in his hand and looked towards Ye Chen.


    Originally, he would not pay any attention to an ordinary youth, and even more so would not politely ask him about it.


    Yet for some reason, as he sized up this young man, he had a feeling that he could not see through him. Faintly, he felt a kind of pressure and deterrence towards him, which could not help but cause Old Man Su''s face to sink slightly.


    "Elder Su, it seems like he''s just a student. He''s just spouting nonsense. How would he know anything about spirit artifacts?" I just came to join in on the fun. "


    The shopkeeper''s face turned cold. He glared at Ye Chen, but when he looked at Elder Su, he immediately recovered his previous respectful and polite look.


    He didn''t want to let a bunch of nonsense like this ruin his good fortune at this crucial moment.


    Hearing his words, Ye Chen still ignored him. He did not have any good impression of this snobbish shopkeeper. Since he was being rude, then he would not blame him for being rude.


    Ye Zichen cupped his hands towards Elder Su and spoke calmly.


    "Old mister Su wants to hear the truth? After all, I am not like some people here who would blindly think of a spirit disc as a treasure. "


    Ye Chen did not show any mercy at all. After he finished his sentence, the atmosphere in the whole place immediately turned silent.


    Following that, mocking and furious gazes were shot at the youth.


    In terms of prestige, in front of Master Jiang Nan Yu, even the mayor of Yan Jing had to be polite. In terms of appraising treasures, his attainments were the benchmark for the industry. What was this unknown junior worth?


    He''s still talking nonsense here. He''s simply not caring for his own life.


    However, in the next moment, some people started to gloat.


    Elder Su and that manager who stood here today were not ordinary people. If they were to casually offend him, tsk tsk, a good show was unavoidable. It could only be said that this brat''s fate was bad.


    "Elder Su, this ¡­"


    "Oh? "If you have something to say, just say it, little friend?"


    Elder Su''s expression turned slightly stern, interrupting the shopkeeper''s words of inquiry. Today, he also wanted to see just who this youth, who gave people a strange feeling, was.


    "The Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Plate is a wondrous treasure that gathers the world''s spirit energy through formations and spirit inscriptions, according to the direction of the world''s spirit artifacts. This kind of spirit disc is not only able to gather spirit energy, but if it is used properly, it will also have the miraculous effect of eliminating disease and nourishing the body ¡­ "


    Ye Chen started to introduce himself as if no one was around him. With his previous knowledge and achievements in spirit weapons, it would be a piece of cake for him to solve the problem of a mere Spirit Gathering Board.


    However, his tone suddenly changed, and his tone turned incomparably fierce.


    "But ¡­" From my point of view, this so-called spiritual disc that is able to gather spiritual energy is just a piece of trash! "

 C5

    Ye Chen''s words were not only full of confidence, but also loud and powerful.


    The last word, ''trash'', was like a thunderclap that exploded in the entire arena. This time, the whispers that had been made earlier had stopped.


    Some of them even turned to look in their direction, waiting to watch a good show.


    Even now, they still wouldn''t believe that an ordinary youth who wasn''t even twenty years old was able to surpass Master Jiang Nan Yu in terms of attainments in spirit artifacts.


    "You! You brat, don''t pretend that you don''t know anything! It was created by Master Yu, and I spent a million gold on it! "


    "With just you, a brat, what do you know!"


    This time, the shopkeeper was truly angry and felt ashamed. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn''t have let this kid in.


    It was not only that manager. When he heard this incomparably arbitrary conclusion, even someone as calm as Elder Su was shaken.


    As he stroked his drooping beard, traces of hesitation and hesitation appeared on his aged face.


    "Could it be that I''ve really made a mistake this time?"


    Elder Su sighed inwardly and slowly shifted his gaze away from the young man.


    "Men, take the ancient coins from his hands and chase him out!"


    "Yes sir!"


    When the shopkeeper saw this opportunity and gave the order, the shop assistants who had been waiting nearby immediately pounced on him with fiendish expressions.


    Taking care of these thugs was one of their daily missions.


    He had seen people who were shameless before, but he had never seen someone as shameless as Ye Chen, and one that was not afraid of death at all.


    "Hehe, you want to chase me away?"


    Ye Chen let out a cold snort, but the Zhen Qi inside his body started to surge.


    He bent his right leg and took a step forward with his left foot. With a thought, his body flashed several steps to the side. Under the siege of seven or eight shop assistants, not only was he not thrown out in a sorry state, he appeared to be at ease and at ease.


    However, when Elder Su saw this, the gaze that he was about to retract immediately turned stunned and shocked as he stared straight at the young man.


    "This... "This footwork, this exhalation, this consciousness ¡­"


    Elder Su sighed inwardly. He felt like this young man in front of him was getting more and more mysterious.


    "Good boy, I don''t believe that I can''t deal with you!"


    Seeing this, the shopkeeper grabbed the teacup on his seat and threw it towards Ye Chen''s direction.


    It was a teacup made of purple sand that was much bigger than a fist. It was hard and heavy, and it had the storekeeper''s anger and anger. If it really hit the tea cup, then it would definitely bleed profusely.


    Many people stared fixedly, not willing to miss out on such a good show.


    "Hah!"


    Ye Chen''s mind froze, as he gathered his Zhen Qi and let out a breath as if he was practicing for a long time.


    The instant that the shopkeeper attacked, he was directly shaken by an invisible ripple!


    "Plop!"


    The shopkeeper staggered a few steps back. He finally couldn''t stand still and fell heavily on his butt. His eyes were full of fear. Even his legs were shaking, let alone continuing to attack.


    Because at the moment he looked at the youth, he felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart!


    "This... Releasing his inner strength! It''s actually someone at the Grandmaster level! "


    At this moment, Elder Su''s face was also filled with excitement. No one could have imagined that in such a small shop, they would run into such a hidden master. More importantly, Ye Chen was not even twenty years old.


    He had spent most of his life in the martial arts world, but he had barely managed to step half a foot into this realm.


    But this youth ¡­


    "Since the shopkeeper doesn''t believe me, I''ll also show you the effects of your so-called Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Plate!"


    Ye Chen did not pay attention to the middle-aged shopkeeper who was sitting on the floor, nor to the shop assistants who had been scared to death by his move, nor to the shocked crowd. He took a big step forward and walked straight to the table, reaching his hand out to take the spirit tablet that was next to Old Man Su.


    "You''re not allowed to rob grandpa''s things!"


    Su Xue''er''s pretty face suddenly turned cold. She twisted her body and jumped towards Ye Chen.


    The girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old only thought that Ye Chen was a bad guy who wanted to steal her grandfather''s things.


    "Xue''er, come back!"


    Elder Su''s expression changed drastically. When he recovered from the shock just now, it was already too late.


    Being also a cultivator, he had seen the ingenuity and power of Ye Chen''s move just now.


    If the other party really did make a move, even if he personally made a move, he might not be able to gain anything from it, much less those young servants.


    What''s more, this granddaughter of his had only learned a bit of the basics?


    Ye Chen picked up the spirit tablet with one hand, and his other hand instinctively moved to grab Su Xue''er, throwing her into his arms.


    However, the sweet fragrance and the warm feeling coming out of it made Ye Chen a bit lost in thought.


    Although Su Xue''er looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, she was quite well-developed and had delicate features. Her small white face was matched with her delicate oval face. She would definitely be the main culprit of disaster in the future.


    "Bad man, let go!"


    Being hugged by Ye Chen like this, Su Xue''er''s pretty face immediately blushed, she turned around and kicked right at Ye Chen.


    No matter what, she was Old Man Su''s granddaughter, how could she be an ordinary person?


    Ye Chen moved his body, he had already taken a few steps back. Naturally, he could not argue with such a simple girl.


    "Rise!"


    The youth exclaimed in his heart. As he poured his true energy into the Spirit Board in a specific way, the dull golden lines on the Spirit Board suddenly lit up.


    The Heaven and Earth Pagoda exploded in succession. Inside the four directions, an incredibly pure spiritual power was gathering.


    Within the hall, everyone felt a slight breeze blow by as an indescribable feeling surged up their hearts. Their minds were refreshed and their spirits were refreshed. It was as if they had entered a paradise on earth.


    "This ¡­"


    At this moment, those who were originally prepared to watch a good show finally could not sit still.


    Shouts of surprise sounded out one after another. There were even some who were looking at the youth as if they were looking at a monster.


    How could he be an ordinary person with such strength and the ability to activate the Spirit Board with his bare hands?


    Many people recalled the exclamation that Elder Su made just now, and their expressions were even more marvelous at that moment.


    When he saw this scene, Old Man Su''s face was filled with shock. His hand that stroked his beard froze in mid-air. He was even more impressed by this young man.


    "This person..." "He actually knows how to use a spirit weapon? This ¡­"


    At such a young age, not only did he have that kind of attainment in martial arts training, he even had this kind of ability. One could imagine just how their Su Clan would be able to estimate his future achievements.


    "The Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Plate has long since been broken, and the spirit pattern on it is also a remnant." The Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Plate has long since been damaged, and the spirit pattern on it is also a remnant.


    Ye Chen turned around and looked at the shopkeeper who was slowly climbing up from the ground.


    "Su ¡­" Elder Su, I don''t know either. This ¡­ "


    The shopkeeper''s complexion had long ago become incomparably pale, and he began to tremble as he spoke. His previous arrogance was nowhere to be seen.


    "Hurry up and apologize to this little friend. Next time, save some morals!"


    Elder Su did not even look at the shopkeeper. As for the piece of trash that Ye Chen casually threw back on the table, he was not interested at all.


    "Thank you for your advice today. I saw you studying the ancient coins earlier, I think you would be interested in this. I have an ancient coin here, so I''ll give it to you as a thank you gift."


    Elder Su stood up and said to Ye Chen politely.


    At this moment, no one dared to say anything else. Even the shopkeeper who wanted to explain himself had stopped trembling.


    What sort of status does Elder Su have? How could they afford to offend someone he treated so politely?


    "This ancient coin ¡­"

 C6

    Looking at the ancient coin that Old Man Su had given him, Ye Chen did not refuse.


    Even though the ancient coin was completely black in color and there were a few flaws on it, the holes on its surface made it look even more unsightly. At a glance, it looked no different from a piece of trash.


    However, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitting from it were many times more powerful than the ones he had seen today.


    "I never would have thought that Old Man Su would have such a treasure in his hands. Within it, there is a complete spirit pattern."


    Ye Chen was secretly surprised. With this, it could be said that it would be very beneficial for his training.


    "Little brother, how should I address you?" To be able to reach the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age, you are truly a genius! "


    On the side, Su Xue''er was mumbling her small mouth with a sullen face.


    "Grandfather, what is a master? I want to compete with him."


    The little girl had been taken advantage of by Ye Chen just now, and she was still holding it in her heart.


    "Ye Chen, I have not reached the Master Realm that Old Man Su mentioned. It was just a small trick of mine. Thank you for your gift today. Since this ancient coin is of use to me, I won''t be polite. "


    Elder Su, the injuries on your body caused your blood energy to become unstable, your meridians to be obstructed, and your essence energy to be blocked. If it''s possible, you need to treat it as soon as possible.


    Ye Chen looked at Old Man Su for a second, then the next sentence completely shocked him. He even swallowed the words he was about to say to his granddaughter to explain to him what a master was.


    The injury on Old Man Su''s body had long since been a disease that had been afflicted for many years, and it had been hidden very deeply. Even some of the old Chinese medical doctors would find it difficult to detect without some detection.


    "Little... Master Ye, would it be possible for you to come to our residence and ask for our help?


    This time, Elder Su did not take Ye Chen as a junior anymore.


    Even some of the older generation might not be able to compete with the amazing power that Ye Chen had displayed up till now.


    Ye Chen waved his hand, but did not reject Old Man Su''s request.


    Since he had taken someone else''s things, he had to return this favor. What''s more, this Old Man Su''s identity was definitely not simple.


    "Elder Su, to tell you the truth, with my current ability, I can only help you heal. Moreover, I need to prepare some things. If I want to cure it completely, I''ll need some time."


    Ye Chen was also telling the truth. With his cultivation base at the Late Mortal Realm Stage 1, it would be quite difficult for him to perform the acupuncture techniques.


    If he could break through the bottleneck and reach the second level of the Mortal Realm, it would be much easier for him to cultivate the¡¶ Supreme Yi Primal Chaos Formula¡·.


    Coincidentally, he needed a quiet place to rest, so Ye Chen did not refuse Old Man Su''s kind invitation.


    A few days later, in a quiet pavilion in the courtyard of the Su Clan, the beautiful trees on both sides were beautiful, and the grass was luxuriant.


    The youth slightly closed his eyes, looking calm and composed.


    Streams of pure natural power were gathering from all directions, with Ye Chen as the center, it had formed a formless energy whirlpool.


    "Hu!"


    Xiao Yan''s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. At that instant, there were traces of lightning flashing within his eyes. In the next instant, they turned into nothingness. It was so deep that one was unable to see through it.


    The youth breathed out like it was a waste of time.


    When he stood up once again, his entire aura seemed to have undergone a tremendous change.


    "I''ve finally broken through. This¡¶ Supreme Yi Primal Chaos Formula¡· is indeed extraordinary. Just the first layer already gave me such a huge boost."


    Ye Chen sighed.


    Only now did he regain the feeling of a cultivator.


    The strength of his meridians, the toughness and resilience of his body, as well as his perception and reaction speed had all improved by leaps and bounds.


    When looking forward, even if it was a thousand meters away, one would be able to distinguish a thing or two.


    "This time''s cultivation, this ancient coin with Spirit Gathering markings on it helped Elder Su quite a bit."


    Ye Chen once again looked at the gift in his hand. However, this low level spirit pattern, after being overloaded by him so much at once, was on the verge of being scrapped.


    Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, a beautiful figure jumped out of the gate and ran towards him.


    Ye Chen was also very familiar with this person. It was the little girl from before, Su Xue''er.


    He liked the quiet. After he dismissed the servants here, Elder Su also ordered for no one to disturb him. Only Su Xue''er had come to bother Ye Chen from time to time recently.


    Although she was small, her competitive spirit was not small. She had always been brooding over the fact that she lost last time.


    "Ye Chen, my sister is back. She is at the Martial Arts School. She wants to meet this Master Ye."


    The little girl teased Ye Chen as she spoke, and even stuck out her tongue towards Ye Chen.


    In the past few days, his reputation as the so-called Master Ye had already spread throughout the Su Clan, and most people only heard about him being able to bring back an unknown youth on just a single encounter.


    And when Ye Chen came to the manor and closed the door, it made everyone even more suspicious.


    Of course, with Old Man Su''s great reputation, those people would definitely not go and find Old Man Su. However, it would not be a problem to find Ye Chen.


    "Alright, I just happen to want to move around. Lead the way."


    Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders. He was well aware of this, but he did not care about it at all.


    The mansion of the Su Family was not small. With the help of the mountain and the water, it was a very valuable place. With Su Xue''er leading the way, Ye Chen finally arrived at the martial arts school of the Su Family.


    As he walked towards the inner hall, he saw that both sides of the hall were decorated with swords and sticks, as well as a variety of training facilities.


    What surprised Ye Chen even more was that among all the disciples of the Su Family who were training here, there were already a lot of people who had reached the stage of martial cultivation.


    In the cultivation system, the most common person to use the body as the origin and train in the martial arts was a so-called inner sect expert. He was worthy of being this kind of person. That Old Man Su was also like that.


    The first two realms of a cultivator were divided into the body forging stage. Inner force was introduced into the body, and the force released from the fists and feet, as well as the strength released from a Profound realm transformation into strength, could be released freely. Only elders-level elderlies could truly control the circulation of the force. That was what Old Man Su had meant by being a master.


    And these two realms respectively corresponded to the Mortal Realm and the Essence Cultivation Stage.


    Of course, the difference in strength between the two wasn''t so simple.


    The advantages that cultivators possessed were not something that ordinary inner sect cultivators could compare to.


    "I never expected that there are actually so many people within the Su Clan who understand martial arts. Looks like the background of the Su Clan is not simple."


    Ye Chen sighed in his heart. His gaze fell on a girl who was practicing her footwork in the arena.


    The young girl looked to be no more than twenty. Her fair and beautiful face was somewhat similar to Su Xue''er who was beside her. Even though it lacked that immaturity and immaturity, it had become more coquettish and mature.


    A thin white t-shirt with short pants, revealing a large part of her slender legs, which made her look even more attractive.


    At this moment, the gazes of many people were gathered there. It was unknown whether they were training in martial arts or were looking at someone else.


    As his body moved, it would occasionally provoke discussions and cries of surprise from the audience.


    "Miss Ziyun''s Ling Ying footwork is getting more and more exquisite. It has only been half a month and she has already reached this level!"


    "That''s right. The young miss''s cultivation has also increased very quickly. She''s only 20 years old, but she''s already at the peak of the middle level of the Body Tempering Stage. She''s only one step away from the late stage."


    "I''m afraid that Miss Ziyun will be able to be ranked in the top three within the Su Clan ¡­"


    Seeing Ye Chen staring at the ring, Su Xue''er thought that Master Ye was shocked by her sister''s power, and a proud look immediately appeared on her rosy little face.


    "Sister, the person you want to meet is here. He is the Master Ye who bullied me before!"

 C7

    "Are you Master Ye?"


    Su Ziyun stopped her practice, and stared at Ye Chen with an unbelievable look on her face.


    Earlier, she had heard from Xue''er that the so-called master who had been invited by her grandfather to treat her with respect was just a youth.


    But at this very moment, he was shocked to see with his own eyes that this person who looked to be even younger than him had the name of a master.


    "This person''s aura ¡­"


    Su Ziyun''s red lips moved slightly as she muttered in her heart. In that instant, she suppressed the shock in her heart and looked over with a smile.


    "I''ve heard of it for a long time. Master Ye just saw a martial skill of the Su Clan that I''m practising. Soaring Shadow Steps. Can you give me some pointers?"


    Su Ziyun gently stepped forward, her face was like a peach, as she asked Ye Chen.


    Although she could not see through Ye Chen, but for some reason, her instincts told her that this teenager in front of her was not simple at all!


    "You still want to offer guidance?" Ling Ying Step is an absolute art of our Su Family. Is he even worthy of giving pointers? "


    Before Ye Chen could say anything, a cold and arrogant voice came from the other side of the field.


    The newcomer was a black-clothed youth who looked to be no more than twenty-five years old. However, the scar on his face was particularly conspicuous.


    "Young Master Su Lei, I didn''t think he''d be back!"


    "What a coincidence, we actually managed to meet the second young master today. Didn''t he go on a mission in the army?"


    "It''s said that young master Su Lei has long since broken through the first layer of Body Tempering Stage and reached the second layer ¡­"


    The moment the knife-scarred youth arrived, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    It even overshadowed the astonishment of the crowd towards Master Ye.


    "As soon as I came back, I heard that the old man invited Master Ye. I thought it was some master, but seeing him today, I knew that he was just a wet behind the ears brat!"


    "You don''t have the slightest bit of inner strength fluctuation nor cultivation level. You might be able to deceive them, but you can''t deceive me! For trash like you, stay away from Ziyun! "


    Su Lei walked over with large strides and his voice was like thunder.


    Such a simple sentence, yet it was filled with prestige. It immediately caused the atmosphere to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.


    Those who didn''t believe in the existence of Master Ye looked at him with mocking eyes.


    After all, they had never heard that there was such a young master in this world.


    "Su Lei, what are you doing? How can you be so rude? "


    Su Ziyun was a little angry. No matter what, she couldn''t be this humiliating to this young man. After all, he was the honored tutor''s guest.


    "Ziyun, I''m doing this for your own good. If you need any guidance, I''ll come. This Master Ye is just a swindler."


    When Su Lei turned to look at the girl, his eyes were filled with tenderness and flirtatiousness, but he could not escape Ye Chen''s senses.


    He originally wanted to help Su Ziyun improve her footwork, but now, he had to deal with the fly in front of him.


    He was the exalted Immortal Emperor of a different world. Even though he was no longer at the peak of his power, how could he allow someone to violate his dignity?


    It was only a matter of time before he would have to deal with such a small fry.


    "Kid, if you have the guts, then go ahead and give it a try. Otherwise, scram!"


    Seeing Ziyun protect this outsider, Su Lei''s anger increased even further.


    He did not believe that Master Ye would allow someone of unknown origin to get close to Ziyun.


    Not only did he have the confidence to chase Ye Chen away, he also had the power that no one present could compare to!


    "Su ¡­"


    Just then, Ziyun wanted to continue trying to dissuade him, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by someone.


    Ye Chen was still as calm as ever, he stepped forward and casually stood there.


    "Oh? How do you want to try? "


    "Try? You are not worthy to fight me head on, but today, I will reluctantly take action. As long as you can last ten rounds against me, then I will consider you the winner. "


    Su Lei arrogantly replied. His overweeningly arrogant attitude was completely undisguised.


    As for everyone else in the audience, they all held the mindset of watching a good show. They even started fantasizing about how this Master would be beaten until he was looking for his teeth on the floor and thrown out of the Su Clan in a sorry state.


    They had long since heard of Su Lei''s illustrious reputation.


    If one were to say that Su Ziyun is a genius in the family and is ranked in the top three, then this Su Lei in front of her is definitely at the peak of Ascendant.


    He had been a martial artist since he was young, and at the age of fifteen, he had entered the Body Tempering Realm. To be able to stabilize at the first level of Body Tempering Stage at the age of sixteen. He practiced several martial skills and movement techniques of the Su Clan, and his sword technique was unstoppable.


    After entering the army for four years, his achievements were illustrious, and he was even listed as a seeded member of the core forces.


    This kind of person, not to mention Ye Chen, even some of the older martial artists in the Su family had to be careful.


    "Ye Chen, you have to be careful. This person is way more powerful than me. Even my grandpa praised him."


    Behind Ye Chen, Su Xue''er''s beautiful face slightly changed, but it turned out that she was regretting it.


    He had wanted to show off to Ye Chen how powerful his sister was, but who would have thought that this would happen?


    "His attacks are a bit careless, you ¡­"


    Su Ziyun was also a little worried.


    Although she had sensed the boy''s extraordinary temperament, she still could not be sure that Ye Chen was a match for an elite soldier who was five or six years older than her.


    Even if he were to personally take action, he wouldn''t be able to guarantee that he would not be able to last ten rounds against Su Lei.


    "It''s alright. Since Young Master Su is so interested, let''s give it a try."


    Ye Chen waved his hand, signalling for Su Ziyun and her sister to move away. His face was full of indifference.


    But his appearance, in the eyes of the other people present, was undoubtedly a stubborn act on the part of a dead duck.


    To be bragging like this at such a crucial moment, his skin was simply thick-skinned to the point of being shameless.


    "You asked for it!"


    Su Lei let out a loud shout, bent his legs, and bent his body to launch an attack.


    In the next moment, his body moved like a shadow, jumping up and dashing towards Ye Chen.


    How could that stance of breaking mountains and rivers and the grandeur of his body be an ordinary contest?


    Even those who were prepared to watch a good show couldn''t help but take a few steps back, afraid that they would be affected.


    But Ye Chen, who was in that battle, was in stark contrast. He just stood there calmly, not moving at all.


    "How dare you be so arrogant!"


    Being looked down upon so much, Su Lei was filled with rage. Borrowing the power of his dive, his body twisted in the air like a meteorite falling from the sky. With a terrifying explosive power, he smashed towards Ye Chen.


    "This kick..." "There''s going to be a good show ¡­"


    "This is, the Su Clan''s Whirlwind Kick. I didn''t expect young master Su Lei to have practiced it to such an extent!"


    "This is probably comparable to some of the elders ¡­" Tsk tsk, that kid is also unlucky! "


    Numerous exclamations sounded out, and many people were extremely pleased with themselves.


    Because that kick, even if Ye Chen had some tricks up his sleeve, he would never be able to take it! Besides, that arrogant guy who didn''t care about his life was still as indifferent as if he was scared silly!


    "Elder sister!"


    Su Xue''er was so worried that she was about to cry. She had never intended to hurt Ye Chen.


    "Ai, prepare to take him to a doctor ¡­"


    "Boom!"


    A sudden explosion interrupted Su Ziyun''s soft sigh.


    Immediately after, a series of wails and the sound of friction rang out. Everyone saw that a black shadow had already dragged itself more than 10 meters away from the floor of the martial arts building!


    The figure that flew out was not Ye Chen, but Su Lei.


    Facing that kick, Ye Chen threw out a simple punch. It actually managed to tear through that attack, and didn''t even take half a step back!


    "This!" "How is this possible!?"

 C8

    Su Lei, who had fallen to the ground and was wailing in pain, did not have the slightest bit of power from before?


    Because of the waves of pain coming from his legs, his expression had become somewhat twisted. When he stood up from the ground in a sorry state, the boundless rage in his eyes could no longer be put into words.


    Whether it was within the family or the army, their reputations were spread far and wide. Yet today, they had fallen upon the hands of a swindler of unknown origins. With Su Lei''s pride, how could he possibly hold back?


    "You ¡­ What kind of evil tricks did you use!? They will only use external forces, you shameless bastard! "


    Su Lei shouted and scolded loudly.


    He really couldn''t imagine where that terrifying strength of the youth from earlier had come from.


    Even now, no one believed that Ye Chen could use his own power to defeat a Heaven''s Pride who was five years older than him.


    One had to know that although Su Lei''s temper and character were bad, in terms of strength, he was not bad at all.


    "I thought that he would have some ability. To think that he would just be a scammer who knows how to cheat!"


    "That''s right. I knew it. How could such a person be a match for Young Master Su?"


    "Hurry up and get someone to kick this guy out!"


    Seeing his own family cursing nonstop, Su Lei once again became extremely proud.


    No matter what ability this brat in front of them had, in front of this enormous being of the Su Clan, he was nothing more than an ant.


    Su Lei signaled his servant to go inform the guards. His face became arrogant and cold. Even when he looked at Ye Chen again with a grin, he was still looking down at him.


    "Humph!" Why did he stop talking? "He dared to not fight and injured me. The Su Clan will not let him go ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    Before Su Lei''s cold snort could fade away, an incomparably resounding slap spread across the entire arena.


    Su Lei, who had barely managed to stabilize himself a moment ago, staggered from the slap and fell to the ground like a dog gnawing on mud.


    The figure of Ye Chen, who had been standing calmly on the spot, was slowly disappearing. The other Ye Chen had already appeared in front of Su Lei!


    "This is ¡­" An afterimage! His Soaring Shadow Steps have actually reached the peak of the realm! "


    This time, Su Ziyun could no longer suppress the shock in her heart. She could not help but scream out loud. From the time Ye Chen saw her performing the Shadow Steps, it had only been a quarter of an hour.


    Under the guidance of others, it had taken him three months to reach the level of ''Initiation''.


    As for the people in the arena, they were completely dumbfounded as they stood rooted to the spot in a daze!


    Everyone in the Su Clan knew about the profoundness and difficulty in cultivating this Ling Shadow Step. Even Old Man Su had never reached such a level of mastery.


    If they were talking about using external forces before, this time, everyone could see it clearly!


    This was true strength!


    Many people recalled the youth''s stunning punch and felt their hearts pounding. Sounds of people inhaling cold air came one after another.


    "Big sister, he is so powerful. That annoying guy, he is usually so proud of himself in the family. I never would have thought that he would not even be able to handle one move from Ye Chen!"


    The cute Su Xue''er was jumping and jumping as she shouted.


    But her words caused the surrounding Su Clan members to be even more shocked!


    Many people thought back to how they had treated the youth viciously and even unconsciously took a few steps back.


    "What method do I use? Do I need to explain it to you?"


    "Hit you? Why would he not dare! So noisy! "


    Ye Chen threw a cold glance at Su Lei who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and did not bother to pay any more attention to him.


    Originally, he was disdainful of teaching this sort of fly a lesson. However, since the other party did not know what was good for him, then he would not hold back anymore.


    When the youth once again turned around and walked towards Su Xue''er, the entire stadium was completely silent.


    At this moment, everyone was no longer looking at Ye Chen with that gentle face from before. Everyone knew that under that calm and tranquil face, he was hiding a terrifying strength!


    "What are you doing!?" How dare you attack my Su Family? How dare you! "


    Just as Ye Chen was about to leave with Su Xue''er, a loud shout came from the door, causing the atmosphere to tense up once again.


    A series of hurried footsteps could be heard right after. A middle-aged man with a sturdy body and a group of Su Family guards, who were waiting with great vigilance, surrounded Ye Chen without saying a word.


    The middle-aged man had sharp eyebrows and a stern expression. His name was Su Zhiyuan, and he was Su Lei''s father. Within the family, his realm was enough to be ranked in the top ten. He had reached the third level of the Body Tempering stage, so his prestige was extremely high.


    When he helped Su Lei up from the ground, his eyebrows immediately furrowed into a frown. An uncontrollable rage instantly erupted!


    "This kid used an external force to attack me, and he even beat me into this state. I can''t let him go!"


    As Su Lei violently coughed, he used the last bit of his strength to viciously shout out.


    No matter what, he would make Ye Chen pay for this today.


    "It was clearly Su Lei who attacked first, and he even framed ¡­"


    Su Xue''er unhappily cried out. However, her voice had long been ignored and interrupted by Su Zhi Yuan, who was in a rage!


    Normally, Su Zhiyuan would be extremely protective of his precious son, and would even cherish him dearly. How could he listen to Su Xue''er''s explanation at this moment?


    "Brat, since you are courting death, since you dare to attack my Su Clan, I''ll let you have a taste of our Su Clan''s might!"


    Su Zhiyuan took a big stride. The wind from his punch was like thunder as it tore through the air. The third level of Body Tempering stage instantly erupted.


    In his eyes, he had already decided that Ye Chen was the murderer, and he would not even give him a chance to explain himself.


    Hehe, since your Su Family is so rude, don''t blame me for being impolite! Courting death? I think you are! "


    Ye Chen yelled out coldly. Facing the fierce attack, he did not move at all.


    The True Qi in his body surged out explosively, the¡¶ Supreme Yi Primal Chaos Formula¡· unconsciously accelerated at this moment, the Qi in his entire body instantly climbed to the peak, and even directly suppressed the Su Family members in front of him!


    True energy condensed into a solid substance in front of them as streams of white energy shot out without a trace of politeness towards the crowd.


    This time, everyone''s expression changed to one of extreme shock! Especially those people who had rushed up to Ye Chen, they felt a cold aura that was close to death!


    "Extra inner strength!" You! How to... "That''s possible!"


    The sinister smile on Su Zhiyuan''s face instantly froze. However, it was already too late for him to dodge or admit defeat!


    How could an explosion at the level of a grandmaster be something that these people could resist?


    "Master Ye, please wait!" "Please show mercy!"

 C9

    At this final moment, a shout sounded out, becoming the last life-saving straw for those who didn''t know what was going on.


    When Ye Chen pulled back his blade, those people who had made their moves felt as if they had been given a new lease on life. The fear and terror on his face eased up by a bit, but his legs couldn''t help but feel weak.


    That terrifying pressure just now was not something they could endure!


    "That is ¡­" Elder Su, the old man came over as well! "


    The Su Clan crowd was in an uproar. The old man''s reputation was spread far and wide outside, and he held a high position of power.


    Elder Su''s prestige in the Su family was something that everyone respected. He had never cared about matters between juniors, nor did he care about them. However, today ¡­


    "Old Gramps, he attacked Su Lei and injured him ¡­"


    "Bastard, quickly apologize to Master Ye!" If he wants to fight, let alone you two, father and son, even if all of you here attack together, you will still lose without a doubt! "


    "If it wasn''t for the leniency shown by the master earlier, do you think you would still be standing here and talking to me?"


    The old man''s two harsh shouts made Su Zhiyuan choke back the words he was about to complain about.


    This time, the crowd that was boiling because of Elder Su''s arrival fell into silence once again!


    The young man whom everyone had looked down upon and suspected earlier was actually called Master Ye by Old Man Su! How could the name of a Master be an existence that these people could violate?


    Thinking back to the suicidal move, she felt a sense of relief after surviving a calamity.


    Even if Elder Su had no chance at victory when that youth who wasn''t even twenty years old wanted to take care of them, it would be as simple as crushing an ant to death!


    As for the two people involved, Su Lei and Su Zhiyuan, they were so scared that their faces turned green and white, unable to utter another word.


    Only now did they truly understand the terror of this Master Ye.


    Under Old Man Su''s lead, Ye Chen also left the Su Family Martial Arts School and arrived in a hall while everyone else was staring at him as if he was a ghost.


    Su Ziyun and Su Xue''er, the two sisters, also came along.


    Xue''er''s face was brimming with excitement. She, who was not accustomed to Su Lei''s tyrannical and tyrannical attitude, was actually extremely willing to see the current result.


    As for Ziyun, when the girl''s eyes looked around and landed on Ye Chen''s body again, there was an indescribable feeling, she was unconsciously a little bit lost.


    "Master Ye, please take a seat. I hope you don''t take their reckless actions to heart. I will definitely punish them in the future."


    Old Man Su had a smile on his face. Even he didn''t want to offend this young master as well.


    With his experienced eyes, he was very clear that this person''s future was limitless.


    "It''s just a small matter. I''ve been resting in this manor for a few days now and it''s time to leave. I''ll come back after Elder Su has collected the last medicinal ingredient ¨C the Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus."


    Ye Chen waved his hand. His face was calm, as if he did not care about what had happened.


    His calm and magnanimous manner caused Old Man Su to praise him even more.


    "Oh, and give me pen and paper."


    Ye Chen suddenly remembered something, and said to Elder Su.


    The Su Clan''s servants beside him naturally did not dare to hesitate in the slightest.


    The current Ye Chen was like the sun in the sky in the Su family. Even if it was Old Man Su, he would have to give him some face, not to mention them.


    "What does he want to do? Do he want to practice writing?"


    Su Xue''er looked at Ye Chen who was sitting on a big piece of paper on the table, and couldn''t help but open her mouth in surprise.


    All she knew was that this Master Ye was very good at fighting, and he even knew that spirit weapon. As for the other things, she had no idea at all.


    "Master Ye, this is..."


    Old Man Su also stood up to watch from the side. However, the words he was about to ask stopped right away when his gaze fell on the piece of paper.


    That murky gaze gradually turned deep and bright as he sank into deep thought. Soon after, it transformed into a type of shock that came from the depths of his soul.


    The wrinkles on his forehead jumped up and down, and his face gradually became dull and astonished.


    In the end, his entire body seemed to have frozen on the spot, petrified.


    The teacup in his right hand remained suspended in the air, not moving at all.


    "This... "What did he write? How could he let grandpa ¡­"


    Su Ziyun was also slightly surprised. Within her limpid eyes, a trace of unconcealable astonishment flashed. Her delicate red lips slightly moved as she muttered in a low voice.


    This was the first time in so many years that she had seen her grandfather show such an expression.


    Moreover, it was because of this youth who wasn''t even twenty years old!


    "Ta!"


    Ye Chen raised his pen and touched the paper. On the paper, there seemed to be a pile of neat and elegant writing. The young man''s calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, his words as if they were carvings, exuding the bearing of a literary master.


    However, it was clear that what Elder Su was paying attention to was definitely not these words!


    "Elder Su, read this scroll carefully. Also, before I treat my illness, you cannot use inner force. Otherwise, your illness will only worsen. If you injure the body, you will need to spend a long time to recuperate."


    "Also, the item left behind by the end of the scroll can be considered as a token of my appreciation."


    Ye Chen replied calmly. He would do what he said. He would return the favor, and naturally, the Su family would take care of him these days.


    Moreover, the power within the Su Clan was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.


    "Master Ye, please wait!" Take this card and take it as a little gift from me. "


    Elder Su finally recovered from his shock. He stood up and carefully took the piece of paper with both hands, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.


    The teenager did not reject the purplish-gold card that Ye Chen had given him.


    "This card should be useful to master. It can be used as a resting place for master in the East Lake District of Yan Jing."


    Elder Su replied politely. However, his attitude towards Ye Chen now was a bit more respectful.


    Su Ziyun''s beautiful eyes also stopped at the purple-gold card. It seemed as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she gave up on that idea. As the young miss of the Su Clan, she knew better than anyone what that card meant.


    After sending Ye Chen off, the originally quiet hall suddenly became lively.


    Old Man Su''s three sons, Su Zhi Yuan, Su Peng, and Su Kai Sheng brought a group of Su Clan core members to the hall.


    When they heard that the old man had not only treated the teenager named Ye Chen with respect, but had also given out his Purple Gold Card, many of their expressions had completely changed!


    Because this time, their Su Clan gift was truly too heavy!


    "Old Master, you have to consider this carefully. That card is worth more than several tens of millions. Moreover, that card even has a top-notch villa in Yan Jing, the Imperial Source Pavilion!"


    "He''s a junior. Even if he has some ability, how could he bear such a great gift!?" Furthermore, he has yet to treat your illness ¡­ "


    His eldest son, Su Kai Sheng, kept talking, but he could not hide the contempt and distrust in his voice. That was because this Master Ye was just too young, so young that it was hard to imagine.


    "This brat is extremely arrogant. Even if he has some ability when attacking the Su Clan, in the future, he might even bite back. At that time, the Su Clan will be in danger!"


    Su Zhiyuan said indignantly. Obviously, he was still brooding over what had happened earlier.


    "I agree. Moreover, the Lin Family of the Yu Yuan Pavilion has coveted for a very long time. If we do not sell them to them like this, it is likely that we will be in big trouble in the future!"


    After a few people successively advised him, the entire hall instantly erupted into commotion.


    Regarding Ye Chen''s accusations and doubts, they kept on increasing.


    At the head of the group, Elder Su gently took a sip of the Xihu Longjing in his cup. His aged face slowly turned cold and solemn. However, he quietly stared at the Xuan paper in his hand ¡­

 C10

    "All of you, shut up! Do you really think that all Master Ye has is power? If you guys had a bit of power from him, the Su Family will definitely dominate the entire Yan Jing! "


    "On this piece of paper, are the two high-grade cultivation techniques and martial skills that he left for our Su Family! With these two things, not to mention a purple-gold card, even if there were ten of them, it would still be worth it! "


    Elder Su''s shout was filled with vigor and was able to intimidate the entire audience. However, it was filled with regret and disappointment.


    The next moment, there was dead silence! The three people of Su Zhi Yuan''s group and the group of Su Family''s core members, who had been talking about Ye Chen earlier, all fell into silence.


    This was because everyone knew that the two items the youth left behind could be considered priceless treasures!


    Cultivation techniques and martial arts were divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. Each grade was divided into lower, middle, and upper grades.


    As for their Su Clan''s hundred year old inheritance, the top cultivation technique of the Su Clan was only a low rank high rank, it couldn''t even reach a middle rank. As for the Ling Shadow Steps, it was the only one that had reached the middle tier or lower tier.


    Even still, if such a technique were auctioned off, the price would be close to a hundred million copies, which would be priceless in the city.


    However, that seemingly ordinary youth had casually taken out that legendary high rank cultivation technique and martial skill!


    At this moment, on Ye Chen''s side, he would naturally not know that the Su Family had caused such a sensation because of him.


    After recuperating in the Su Clan for a few days, his cultivation had reached the early stage of the Second Sky of the Refinement Realm.


    What he needed to do next was to find a Spirit Treasure or Spirit Medicines to assist him. Of course, if there was a special type of Spiritual Energy, it could be converted and absorbed by his Nine Yang Saint Body.


    "Let''s go back to the school and check on the situation. I wonder how Fatty is doing ¡­"


    Ye Chen made up his mind in his mind and rushed towards Beijing High School.


    The current him naturally did not care much about reading books. However, the grudge in Han City would not be so easily resolved.


    People came and went through the streets, bustling with activity.


    Ye Chen could not help but frown when he heard a lot of noise in front of him.


    There, the crowd was so dense that it seemed as if they were watching a show.


    "Eh? "This aura is ¡­"


    Just as Ye Chen was about to walk away, a hint of surprise flashed across the teenager''s dark eyes. He turned around and walked into the crowd.


    "Make way, make way, don''t block our way. You won''t be able to take responsibility for delaying our rescue!"


    A bald man in his thirties rushed over from an ambulance at the side. It was just that his arrogant and sloppy appearance made him seem a little annoying.


    If it weren''t for the white coat and the job tag hanging on his body, he wouldn''t have recognized that this was a doctor.


    In the center of the crowd, there was a middle-aged man with a square face and black glasses lying unconscious on the ground. Beside him was a secretary like woman dressed in a black business suit protecting him.


    "Doctor, come take a look. What''s the matter?"


    The beautiful secretary appeared somewhat anxious, and her face turned red because of her nervousness.


    The bald man''s eyes swept over his secretary, seemingly filled with a sense of nostalgia and confusion.


    In the blink of an eye, he looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground and ordered the nurses behind him impatiently.


    "Hurry up and carry him up. This patient is suffering from acute illness and needs immediate surgery to save him!"


    As I said that, I didn''t forget to show a relieved expression to the secretary beside me. However, my eyes unconsciously shifted to another direction.


    It was obvious that he was pleased with himself and fawning on the other party.


    "In that case, thank you ¡­"


    "What are you thanking me for, it''s just a quack doctor!" If you touch him, you will lose your life! "


    Before the beautiful secretary could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sudden shout.


    As for the bald man, who had been incomparably smug, the smile on his face instantly froze.


    Especially when he saw that the person who had just walked over slowly was only a young man who was not even twenty years old, the fury in his heart surged out like a volcanic eruption.


    "Kid? What do you know? Do you know who I am? Who do you think you are? "


    Being interrupted like this by Ye Chen, how could his dignity be lost?


    The surrounding onlookers also cast their gazes over. When they saw that the person who called out ''disgruntled'' was only a young man with the appearance of a student, they could not help but sigh.


    After all, no one would believe that a young man who had rushed out so casually would know more about medicine than a professional doctor in a hospital.


    However, the bald man would not let this kid, who had ruined his image in front of everyone, be so rude to him. Seeing that Ye Chen had not said a word, his look had returned to its previous complacency, and it had even become a bit more arrogant.


    "Brat, I''m Yan Jing People''s Hospital''s Director He. I''ve been studying overseas for dozens of years. I''ve diagnosed countless difficult illnesses, cured tens of thousands of patients, and won numerous awards at home and abroad ¡­"


    "Just with you, a brat, what qualifications do you have to stand here and judge me?"


    Chief He arrogantly held up the medical staff identification token in front of his chest. The words "Specialist" was exceptionally conspicuous.


    Today, if it were not because of the director''s special instructions, he would never have taken part in this first aid job. After all, he had already been holding back his anger, and now that Ye Chen had made such a fuss, he was even angrier.


    "Hurry up and f * ck off! "Can you afford to delay treatment?"


    Director He glared at Ye Chen, then signaled the nurse who was standing still to the side to come up and save him.


    However, Ye Chen did not care about this director He. He walked up, bent down, and accurately touched the throat of the fallen middle-aged man, while his other hand pressed on the chest of the middle-aged man. His movements were smooth and smooth, as if he was using a martial arts film''s acupuncture point technique.


    Almost at the same moment when Ye Chen''s finger touched the ground, a stream of black Yin Qi was spat out from the middle-aged man''s mouth.


    Following that, the violent coughing sound made Supervisor He, who was about to reprimand him, swallow his words back down his throat.


    Not only him, there were also the onlookers. They clearly remembered that the doctor had spoken just now and that the patient on the floor needed immediate surgery. But now, it was merely under the direction of the youth''s finger ¡­


    "Specialist? So what? I still can''t change the fact that you''re a quack doctor! "


    Ye Chen did not look back, he did not even look at the director.


    However, these cold and merciless words were like a slap to the face of the director.


    The questioning and disdainful gazes from all around made this Supervisor He''s face change between green and white.


    However, when he saw that the middle-aged man was already slowly opening his eyes, he was so shocked that he couldn''t say a single word!


    As for the beautiful secretary who was standing in a daze and the nurse who was about to lift the patient, she was completely dumbfounded!


    After living for so many years, they had never seen or heard of anything that could save a person with just a few acupuncture points?


    "Let him rest for a few minutes and he will regain his consciousness. As for how this quack doctor will solve the problem, you guys can do whatever you want."


    "Oh, right. When he wakes up, remind him to invite a master to look at his home. This illness of his is a trap set up by someone!"


    Before the crowd could react, Ye Chen had already left in front of their shocked eyes.


    In the high grade VIP ward of the Yan Jing People''s Hospital, the middle-aged man from before laid down on the bed to rest. However, his current complexion was like the sky and earth compared to before.


    Beside him, Chief He was standing there with an apologetic smile on his face. The beautiful secret secretary was also standing beside the middle-aged man, but her attitude towards this Director He could be described as cold.


    "Director He, how is Mayor Liu!?" "His illness is quite troublesome. You all must not ¡­"


    As the door of the ward was abruptly pushed open with a clang, a group of doctors wearing white gowns with identity tokens rushed in at the same time. All of them had solemn expressions on their faces as they waited for the opportunity.


    And the middle-aged man in the lead was Yan Jing''s People''s Hospital''s President, Qin Yusun!


    At this moment, he was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.


    When he received the mayor''s notification that he was ill, it could be said that he was scared out of his wits. He had taken over Mayor Liu''s illness before, and it was extremely troublesome. When he was sick, it was even life-threatening. However, even if they exhausted the abilities of the Yan Jing''s People''s Hospital, they could only achieve a simple relief ¡­


    However, just as everyone tensed up, the sudden sound of coughing caused everyone to freeze on the spot as if they had seen a ghost!


    "Cough cough, this is ¡­"

 C11

    "Mayor Liu ¡­"


    In the next second, he even swallowed the words that he was prepared to inquire about, because at this moment, not only was Liu Qingshan''s face rosy and full of vitality, he even directly lifted the blanket on the bed and stood up normally!


    In the history of the disease, without treatment for half a month, not to mention standing up, even a few words would have been a miracle!


    "Dean Qin, I didn''t expect that your medical skills would become so good. This time, I have to thank you for saving my life. It''s much better than before!"


    "I, Liu Qingshan, will definitely repay this great kindness."


    A smile appeared on Liu Qingshan''s face. When he felt this energetic and refreshed state, he couldn''t help but praise the Headmaster in front of him.


    However, when they heard this, not only Qin Yusheng, but the other doctors all had strange and awkward expressions on their faces.


    The credit for this wasn''t them.


    And where did this master come from? With such an amazing ability, he could actually cure Mayor Liu''s illness!


    "Mayor Liu, I am truly ashamed. This time, I was not the one who treated your illness ¡­"


    "Mayor, your illness was cured by a teenager we met by the roadside!"


    The secret technique was timidly interrupted. However, this time around, his words were like a clap of thunder that caused everyone''s expression to change! This was especially true for Dean Qin and the other doctors. They were shocked beyond belief and ashamed beyond belief!


    Since when did a mere youngster possess such ability, and who was he?


    "What!?" Young man! Who is he? "


    "..."


    And at this moment, Ye Chen naturally did not know what had happened in the hospital. Ye Chen did not stay any longer after he had taken care of all the things he had encountered along the way.


    "If this wave of Baleful Yin Force is completely dissolved, it should be able to allow my realm to once again rise ¡­"


    Feeling the energy in the black spot that was faintly pulsating, Ye Chen smiled to himself.


    Just now when he was conducting the treatment, he had condensed the baleful qi from the middle-aged man and placed it within his own body. However, the amount of time it took her to absorb the energy in her body was a bit beyond her expectations.


    However, this was just right. With his Nine Yang Saint Body, as long as he could suppress the Baleful Yin Force at his current level, it would be an excellent tonic.


    When Ye Chen returned to Beijing High School, he had just stepped into the classroom, and had once again become the focus of everyone''s attention.


    Last time, when he went head to head with Young Master Han, the person who even ignored Director Wang of the disciplinary committee had already spread through half the school in the few days he was gone.


    Because of this, Ye Chen''s normal background and his breakup with his girlfriend, Fang Zi Ning, naturally became the hottest topic.


    As for Fang Zi Ning, who was originally the female lead of the story, she went to the Mi Kingdom to study together with Chen Han.


    All of a sudden, Ye Chen, who had always been an ordinary guy with a low profile, who had always been carrying his class''s flower, had become the target of ridicule for everyone.


    "Yo, Ye Chen, you still have the face to come back?"


    Just as Ye Chen sat down, an unpleasant voice floated over.


    This time, the one who spoke wasn''t Han City, which had caused trouble before, but was Wang Gang, who was usually with him.


    This guy is big and well-built, like a fat guy. He''s also an overlord in school, and he has a follower named Cai Chengjian behind him.


    Because his father was Director Wang, who had been taught a lesson by Ye Chen before. His family had some background, so no one dared to mess with him.


    "It''s none of your business whether Brother Ye comes back or not!"


    The fat guy moved closer to Ye Chen, yelling at Wang Gang and the others.


    As Ye Chen''s brother, he had been so pissed off by these guys for the past few days that he was already full of anger.


    "Brat, why are you so arrogant!"


    Wang Gang''s face was full of anger.


    However, when he took a step forward and caught a glimpse of Ye Chen, whose face was still as dark as water, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.


    Recalling the fate of Han City and Director Wang, he had to give up on the idea of teaching them a lesson on the spot.


    After all, it was hard to say who would be the one to teach them a lesson if he rushed forward.


    "Humph!" You''re just someone who''s going to be expelled, so I''ll let you stay here for a while! After all, this place can accommodate people like you. "


    Wang Gang''s face was filled with scorn and ridicule.


    If they wanted to take care of someone like Ye Chen, there was no need for them to do it themselves.


    "That''s right, a trash with a green hat on his head ¡­"


    "A toad like you still wants to eat swan meat, that''s simply wishful thinking!"


    Cai Chengjian, who was behind Wang Gang, mocked him.


    Hearing his words, the other people in the classroom burst into laughter.


    Ye Chen''s face turned cold bit by bit.


    He couldn''t be bothered with these trivial characters, but these people were so stupid as to seek death!


    As the True Qi in his body circulated, he casually picked up the textbook on the table and without any warning fanned Wang Gang and Cai Chengjian.


    "Pah!" "Pah!"


    Two resounding slaps sounded out in succession, interrupting everyone''s laughter.


    He saw two clear red imprints on Wang Gang and Cai Chengjian''s faces!


    This incomparably shocking scene instantly caused the ridicule on the faces of some people to freeze.


    Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary youth would have such a ruthless method!


    "Scram!" "If not, next time, I promise that I will hit you until you can no longer open your stinky mouth!"


    A cold voice followed by a majestic and domineering atmosphere spread throughout the classroom, causing the two students who originally wanted to resist to feel a chill down their spines.


    When they once again looked into the youth''s deep and cold eyes, they felt as if they were staring at death.


    "Leaves..." Ye Chen, let''s go ¡­ "Let''s wait and see!"


    Wang Gang and the lackey stammered out a few words before turning around to flee.


    "Ying Ying, what are you looking at? Why, have I become infatuated with such a person? "How rare!"


    In a corner of the classroom, Liu Ying Ying was holding her head up with her small white hands, looking at Ye Chen with a bit of fascination.


    This person who offended Director Wang and Young Master Han a few days ago and beat up Director Wang''s son when he came back today was becoming more and more mysterious.


    The calmness and profoundness of the youth caused some of the onlookers to be captivated and curious.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? I''m just here to take a look."


    After a long while, Liu Yingying finally recovered from the shock and ruthlessly pinched the flesh on her best friend, Zhao Mengsi''s waist.


    The frolicking between the two great beauties and the way they were staring at the young man was naturally noticed by others.


    When some of the people in the class looked at Ye Chen again, their eyes were filled with hostility.


    However, to Ye Chen, all these things did not matter anymore.


    "Brother Ye, you beat them up like this, you must be going to sue now. I already said I was going to fire you before, but now I have even more reason."


    The fat guy looked worried.


    While Ye Chen was not around for the past few days, he had heard about how the people from Han City planned to take revenge on him step by step.


    "It''s fine. These people want to oppose me. Even if I don''t teach them a lesson, they will not let me go."


    Ye Chen waved his hand, but did not care.


    Right now, his top priority was to raise his cultivation level. As for other matters, he could think about them later.


    The reason he came to school was to get even with these people.


    "Although it''s good to see you give those guys a lesson to vent your anger, are you really not worried?"


    While Ye Chen and the fat guy were talking, a unique scent of a young girl came from behind them.


    At some point, Liu Yingying had walked to a seat behind the two of them and sat down. Her right arm supported her head as she stared at Ye Chen with great interest.


    Today, Liu Ying Ying wore a light green dress with a white ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her impressive figure and delicate oval face. She lived up to her title of being one of the three school beauties.


    It had to be said that the young girl''s watery eyes were extremely enchanting as they blinked.


    However, since she took the initiative to go after Ye Chen, who was completely poor in everyone''s eyes, all of a sudden, countless gazes of jealousy and hatred shot towards Ye Chen.


    "Worried? Why do I feel like the ones who should be worried are them? "


    Ye Chen gave a calm smile, but within that calm voice, there was a sense of confidence and indifference.


    "That Ye Chen!" Come out! "Come with me to the administration office!"

 C12

    A shout came from the classroom entrance and interrupted Liu Yingying''s conversation.


    Looking up, it was indeed the fat middle-aged man who he had just taught a lesson to a few days ago, Director Wang. He was leading Ye Chen''s class teacher, a tall and thin middle-aged man.


    Normally, although this Teacher Li would not make things difficult for Ye Chen, she did not give him a hard time. After all, his family background and grades were pretty average.


    "Ye Chen, I did not expect you to be so bold as to beat up Director Wang. Why don''t you come with me to the school administration to have a look?"


    Mr. Li narrowed his eyes, coldly scolding Ye Chen.


    However, he turned around to face Director Wang, who had a higher authority than him, and put on a flattering, hypocritical smile.


    After all, this Director Wang''s network in the school was not as simple as it seemed.


    "Review? "Fine, I want to see how you guys will make me review this."


    Ye Chen humphed and glanced at the two men. Without saying anything, he stood up and followed them.


    In these ten years in the alternate world, he had experienced all kinds of storms, and even more so, such a small thing like this was nothing to be afraid of.


    However, if he did not solve this problem, he would have many flies by his ear in the future.


    Following the two of them around, they soon arrived at the office area on the first floor of the administrative building. The first 101 was where the administrative office was located.


    The furnishings inside were very simple. On both sides, there were filing cabinets and all kinds of information regarding the students. Right in front of them was a desk and a few simple furnishings.


    When Ye Chen walked in, a middle-aged man with black glasses was slowly putting down the documents in his hand and leaning on his office chair.


    "Principal, he is that Ye Chen who beat people up in public, and he is also publicly violating our teacher''s discipline, ignoring all his rules!"


    "Just now, when he returned to school, he started to teach Wang Gang and Cai Chengjian a lesson ¡­"


    Director Wang opened his mouth and shouted out angrily. He was so angry that he almost wanted to tell Ye Chen about all of Ye Chen''s'' crimes'', and treat him as an uncountable sinner.


    In the next moment, Wang Gang and Cai Chengjian, who had already teamed up, swaggered in at the right time.


    At this moment, the two of them were no longer as fearful as they were before. Instead, they were incomparably arrogant.


    When he looked at Ye Chen again, his eyes were filled with hatred, contempt, and pride.


    "Principal, it''s this Ye Chen. Today, we just asked him what he had been doing since he skipped school a few days ago. After expressing our concern, he started to attack us!"


    When Wang Gang turned around to look at the principal, he saw a pitiful victim''s appearance. With this ability to turn black into white, her acting skills were first-rate.


    "This guy was planning to attack Han City a few days ago. Luckily, Director Wang went there in time ¡­"


    These people kept talking and having fun.


    From time to time, Li Xueyi would add fuel to the fire. From the looks of it, these people had no intention of letting Ye Chen go this time.


    "Principal, this kind of person shouldn''t stay in school! They should be directly expelled! "


    Seeing that Ye Chen did not say anything, Director Wang became even more proud and arrogant.


    It just so happened that he took advantage of this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and drive the kid out.


    In this way, not only would he be able to relieve the hatred in his heart, he would also have an explanation for Young Master Han''s side.


    "Ye Chen, you beat your classmates, disregarded your teachers, broke the rules, and even went through the process a few times. Do you admit your mistake? According to the rules of the school, you should be directly expelled and dealt with. "


    The principal glanced at Ye Chen''s file and threw it to the side.


    He lazily looked at Ye Chen who was standing still calmly. He did not even get up, and his condescending voice sounded even more official.


    Hearing that the principal wanted to fire Ye Chen, Director Wang, Wang Gang and the others who were on the side were overjoyed.


    This poor kid, who had once been incomparably arrogant in front of them without any background, finally had to pay the price of offending them. All he felt in his heart was a wave of relief.


    "Humph!" This sort of person had long since been expelled from school. If I were you, not to mention dropping out of school, I wouldn''t even have the face to continue staying in school. "


    Wang Gang snorted on the side and mocked in a low voice.


    But his voice was not loud, it was just for Ye Chen alone.


    As long as he imagined the downfall of this fellow and how he would be taught a lesson, he would feel a wave of satisfaction in his heart, as if he had been hit by a million.


    Ye Chen was still standing there blandly. From the start to the end, he had not been moved by these people. However, within those dark eyes, there seemed to be a hint of fierceness.


    "This place is no different from the world I dreamt of. It''s the same as the law of the jungle, but the method is different. These people ¡­"


    Ye Chen thought to himself as his face slightly darkened.


    The youth could naturally tell that the principal was too lazy to interfere because he did not have any background. And because of Director Wang and the people in the Han City, he chose to turn a blind eye.


    These people are just saying that they will uphold justice for you. Actually, justice has always been their decision.


    "Admit your wrongs?" I don''t think I''m wrong! "


    Ye Chen sneered, but his aura suddenly exploded. The sharpness and coldness in his eyes made even Wang Gang, who was standing beside him, unconsciously take a few steps back, as if the temperature in the room had dropped by a lot.


    "Those I beat up were all people I should beat up. I scolded people who were shameless. I taught these scum people a lesson, but I have never felt that there was anything wrong with it!" I can''t be bothered to explain it to you guys, but you guys are not qualified to teach me, Ye Chen! "


    "If the principal decides to expel me based on this alone, I have to ask you. Who gave you the evidence and the courage to risk your life?"


    The youth stood there coldly as he spat out each word with incomparable sharpness.


    The sudden appearance of this aura made Director Wang, who had been constantly complaining, shut his mouth.


    The Headmaster who was lying on his office chair felt his legs go soft, and he nearly rolled off the chair.


    When he once again stood up and faced the boy, who remained as indifferent as before, his face was filled with unconcealable shock, and even his complexion had turned slightly green.


    "This kid, no matter how I look at him, he doesn''t look like a poor kid that isn''t even in his twenties, right?"


    The headmaster was muttering to himself. The more he looked at the calm Ye Chen in front of him, the more nervous he got.


    What Ye Chen said was true, and it was even aimed straight at the vital parts of his body.


    However, things had already gotten to this point. If Ye Chen was not expelled, then he would be in a lot of trouble, and he would not be able to continue hesitating.


    "You still dare to threaten the principal? Ye Chen, how dare you! From now on, you are expelled!"


    By the side, Director Wang seemed to understand the principal''s thoughts and seized the opportunity to berate him harshly.


    This time, his reasoning was perfect.


    However, the harsh shout coming from the door of the administration area once again silenced the entire audience!


    "Expel Ye Chen? I want to see who dares! "

 C13

    "Mayor Liu, why did you come!"


    The principal, who was sitting on the office chair, shuddered and immediately stood up straight. His previous arrogance and laziness had completely disappeared at this moment as he greeted the door respectfully.


    "What? Mayor Liu, why ¡­"


    Director Wang''s expression became even more uncertain as he muttered to himself.


    He knew about Ye Chen''s background and had read about him before. He was from a rural family with no background at all. Logically speaking, this kind of person would never have anything to do with the mayor of Beijing.


    But now ¡­


    "Mayor Liu, please come this way. Please forgive us for not welcoming you."


    And this Director Wang was such a shrewd person. Since things had already come to this point, he still had to pretend.


    However, he and the principal greeted him with respect. They did not even look at each other. Instead, they quickly walked towards Ye Chen who was just standing there blandly.


    "Master Ye, there is no need to thank me. If you need any help from me, please do not hesitate to ask."


    Liu Qingshan cupped his hands respectfully at Ye Chen, and said politely.


    "What?" Master? Am I hearing things? "


    At this moment, everyone present was stunned.


    They could not tell what part of Ye Chen had that made him qualified to be called a master. And what right did he have to cause the powerful Mayor Liu to be so respectful?!


    "Mayor Liu, he is just an ordinary student of our Beijing High School. Do you recognize him as wrong ¡­"


    "Clang!"


    Just when Director Wang turned green and white and tried to ask Mayor Liu if he had made a mistake, the door to the administration office was pushed open again.


    "This is ¡­" Dean Qin! "


    President Qin of the First People''s Hospital in Yan Jing was also one of the high-ranking members of the provincial council.


    Not only did he have extremely high attainments in medical skills, he was also a powerful existence. He also had quite a bit of power within the provincial government.


    If they were to truly compare, then even if they were compared with an important figure like Mayor Liu, Liu Qingshan, they would not lose out in the slightest.


    However, before the principal and Director Wang could get up to greet them, the same situation as before happened again!


    "Master Ye, I am here to apologize to you. Director He has been suspended from his duties. Please forgive his offense. I have sent him here personally."


    Dean Qin was extremely courteous. It was impossible to tell that he was speaking to a junior who was over thirty years younger than him.


    "Leaves..." Master Ye, I was rude previously, and the way I handled the illness was also wrong. I didn''t mean to offend you ¡­ "


    At the door to the administration area, the director, whose face was so ugly that it looked as if it was about to bleed, spat out these words word by word.


    The current him looked completely different from the last time he had seen Ye Chen, who was showing off his power and looking very high up in the sky.


    "Master Ye, I don''t know where my master is, but acupuncture points is a kind of change in acupuncture. I also know Mayor Liu''s situation, there are many ways to treat him, but I never expected you to solve it so easily."


    "If it is possible, I hope you can come to our people''s hospital for a job. Our department of traditional Chinese medicine lacks such talent!"


    With these words from Dean Qin, he was basically a hundred percent sure of the young man''s identity.


    Supervisor Wang and the others felt as if their heads had exploded. They were left completely dumbfounded on the spot. They felt as if the world had become unreal.


    Just a moment ago, he had arrogantly wanted to scold Ye Chen, but now, he didn''t dare to think like this at all.


    Who would have thought that behind Ye Chen''s back, there would be Mayor Liu and Principal Qin, who were so respectful to him!


    As for Wang Gang and Cai Chengjian, who had been laughing at Ye Chen, who were watching the show with their mouths wide open. Their faces were frozen, and they did not dare to look at the teenager again.


    "Mayor Liu, Dean Qin, we can talk about the matter later. However, since the school is going to fire me, we should deal with it first."


    Ye Chen gave them a faint smile, cupped his hands and politely replied.


    However, the moment he said this, both Director Wang and the principal''s faces turned pale with fright.


    From the beginning to the end, they had all realized that the main reason for the fight was not because of Ye Chen.


    "Principal Zhang, can I trouble you to give us the evidence and reasons for why he was expelled? According to the information I''ve gathered, regardless of his background or his past, he has never been tainted in the slightest."


    "Moreover, this kind of person who would risk offending the hospital director and delaying the rescue would have to act out in the name of justice. How could he possibly be the one you speak of that should be expelled?!" "If you can''t take it out, then the city''s disciplinary committee will patrol the city in a few days. It''s time to investigate the school!"


    Mayor Liu asked sternly, not giving these people any face at all.


    In order to find Ye Chen, he had already told the police to use the photos taken by the traffic cameras to check out this mysterious teenager from the bottom to the bottom.


    He could not tell that Ye Chen was that kind of unruly, so mean that he needed to be expelled.


    "This, this should be a misunderstanding, I ¡­" We must thoroughly investigate the cause of this incident! "


    How could the principal dare to show the slightest disobedience? With a pale complexion, he obediently complied.


    However, in the blink of an eye, he looked at Director Wang, who was standing there with an extremely unsightly expression, and his expression immediately changed to one of seriousness.


    "Supervisor Wang, this matter was not properly handled, but it was because of your dereliction of duty. Go back and reflect on it. Otherwise, this Supervisor of yours would give up his position!" Hurry up and apologize to Student Ye? "


    Director Wang''s face was completely drained of blood. Even his legs were trembling a little.


    Right now, he had already cursed Ye Chen a thousand times in his heart, wanting to eat this teenager alive.


    However, in such a situation, he could only act as a scapegoat.


    "Right, right, no ¡­"


    "No need. In the future, just keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, the next loss will not just be face!"


    Ye Chen said coldly, interrupting Director Wang''s few words.


    He waved his hand casually and didn''t even bother to look at Director Wang and the others.


    However, that one sentence, which was so cold and profound, caused the hearts of these few people to turn cold ¡­


    For some reason, they had a premonition that if they were to disrespect and anger this young man again, it might really be a matter of losing face ¡­

 C14

    After solving the problem on the school''s Director Wang''s side, Ye Chen could not be bothered with these people anymore.


    After politely rejecting Dean Qin''s gracious invitation, he was used to his freedom and didn''t want to be restricted in any way. As for Mayor Liu''s matter, he agreed to it.


    Naturally, Ye Chen did not expect that because of Mayor Liu''s support, the headmaster and Director Wang would go find trouble with Han City. However, at least his ears would be a bit quieter these days.


    "Mayor Liu, I will visit his house later. In the next two days, I should find a quiet place to refine this Baleful Yin Force."


    Ye Chen looked at the black dot in his palm as he mumbled to himself.


    Right now, his cultivation had already stabilized at the early stage of the Second Sky of Mortal Realm. If he was lucky enough to gather more Yin Energy, it would take him at least half a month to break through to the middle stage.


    The school had offered Ye Chen a dorm room before, but in that kind of place, it was not suitable for him to train.


    When he thought back to the purple-gold card that Old Man Su had given him and the Imperial Source Pavilion, this gave him an excellent place to go.


    "I don''t know where to find baleful qi or elixirs ¡­"


    Ye Chen was still lost in his thoughts about training. As he turned a corner, he suddenly felt a sweet smell coming from the other side.


    Immediately after, he felt a gentle touch before him and a delicate figure leaped into his embrace.


    "Stop!" "Miss Chu, you won''t be able to run away!"


    Ye Chen could not help but frown when he heard the following angry shouts.


    Ye Chen raised his eyes and looked at the few ferocious bodyguards in black who were chasing after him. Without saying anything, Ye Chen could already guess what was going on.


    "No ¡­" "Sorry, I bumped into you ¡­"


    Before Ye Chen could say anything, the figure in his arms slowly moved away.


    The girl had a delicate face with a tender baby face. She was wearing a short, cool, light blue skirt. Because of her previous run, she had been in a state of disarray, revealing a large portion of her slender, jade-like legs.


    At this moment, the undulations in front of him and the fluttering hair in front of his forehead appeared to be extremely alluring. It seemed to possess the delicate and pure temperament of a girl next door.


    However, when she saw the bodyguard dressed in black chasing after her, she knew that it was hopeless for her to escape. Anger and fear filled her exquisite little face.


    "What exactly do you want? I''m not interested in the Lin Family''s banquet, so stop bothering me! "


    Towards these people, she could be said to be extremely disgusted.


    "Miss Chu, I advise you to be more tactful. Many people do not even have the chance to be invited by our young master. Aren''t you happy that you have such special honor?"


    The leading black clothed middle-aged man slowed down his steps with an arrogant and overweeningly arrogant look on his face.


    His attitude was as if he was saying that even if I kill you, you should feel honored for it.


    "That''s right, Young Master Lin has been waiting for too long. If you still refuse to cooperate, then we will have to resort to some tricks!"


    "We won''t be able to explain ourselves if we harm you ¡­"


    The few men in black clothing surrounding him also threatened with evil smiles on their faces.


    Their mission was to capture this girl, but Ye Chen, who was standing right next to them, had completely ignored them.


    "You!"


    The young girl clenched her fist tightly in anger. A faint sparkling light hung in the corners of her eyes. However, she was a weak girl. It was simply a fantasy to resist against these people in front of her.


    However, just as she fell into despair, a cold shout broke everything.


    "Scram!"


    Ye Chen''s expression did not change, but there was a bit of anger hidden in his heart.


    He was filled with endless hostility towards these bullies. In the past, he had had enough of such oppression.


    "Get lost? Hahaha, little brat, you haven''t even f * cking grown any hair on your head yet, and you still dare to learn from someone else to save a beauty and ruin our good fortune, do you know what happens next? "


    The middle-aged man in the lead had a face full of disdain as he wildly laughed.


    He didn''t believe that this student that looked to be no more than twenty would be able to cause such a ruckus.


    "Ignorant!"


    Ye Chen snorted, his right foot pushed off the ground fiercely. The rocks on the roadside flew towards the people in front of him like cannonballs.


    "Bang bang!"


    Along with the sound of several deep collisions, the laughter from before turned into wails that were heard all over the place.


    Although the rocks shot out from the ground did not hit the vital parts of the body, the pain was real.


    "You ¡­"


    The girl, who was about to warn Ye Chen to be careful, was a bit shocked. A hint of surprise flashed across her limpid eyes, as she stared at the teenager in front of her without blinking.


    She had not expected that a youth she had coincidentally bumped into on the side of the road would possess such unexpected strength.


    Especially when the young man''s face, which was still as calm as ever, and his temperament that made others unable to see through him, appeared even more mysterious and enchanting.


    "Let''s go, these people probably have accomplices. I''ll send you on your way."


    Ye Chen did not even bother to look at the men in black behind him. In his eyes, these small fry were nothing more than ants.


    Brat, we are from the Lin Family! If you dare to offend us, there will be no good ending for you! "If you still dare to bring her away, our Lin Family will definitely make you beg for death!"


    Just as Ye Chen was about to leave with the girl beside him, the middle-aged man in black who had been leading the way shouted loudly.


    Merely, at this moment, he no longer possessed the might and arrogance from before.


    His entire body was covered in dust from the attack of the stone and he could barely stand up. However, his face was twisted due to the intense pain on his body. Even his speech was a little slurred.


    "Oh? What is the Lin Family? "


    Ye Chen gave a cold humph, but he slowly turned his body, looking at the battered middle-aged man with a hint of sneer on his face.


    "Our Lin Family is ¡­"


    "Bam!"


    A rock shot toward the man''s right knee, followed by another wail.


    "Lin Clan? So what? If you don''t want to die, then scram! "


    Ye Chen''s expression did not change at all. He glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently, but that ice-cold emotionless voice and the icy aura made his body shiver a little.


    Almost before Ye Chen could make another move, the group of men in black who were still moaning on the ground had already crawled and crawled away from this place.


    "Thank you so much for this time, but the Lin Family ¡­"


    The young girl looked at the sorry figures leaving, and for a moment, the expression on her pretty face was extremely complicated.


    This was originally a problem for himself. With her pure and kind personality, she didn''t want to involve the youth in front of her.


    "It''s just a piece of scum. It''s nothing."


    Ye Chen did not think so. After ten years in this world, he had already offended so many powerful warriors. How could he, a mere Lin Family, compete against them?


    Along the way, Ye Chen went to the East District''s Imperial Source Pavilion after seeing off the girl. After all, the most important thing right now was to improve his strength.

 C15

    On the east side of the Yan Jing city, there was a villa community that was built around the lake.


    The community was surrounded by a lake, surrounded by clouds and mist.


    Although it wasn''t as towering as a typical skyscraper, from afar, it looked like it was connected to a mountain. From afar, it looked like a giant dragon, domineering and majestic, with a domineering aura that could swallow the heavens and look down upon the heavens.


    Because of this, they had the title of the top villas in Yan Jing, as well as the Imperial Source Pavilion.


    In a quiet room in the villa, a young man was sitting cross-legged with his upper body bare.


    Following the circulation of the Tai Yi Primal Chaos Formula within his body, the black sphere of light floating in front of the youth was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    On Ye Chen''s skin, a faint golden light started to shine. His whole body seemed to be bathed in a sea of gold.


    If there were some cultivators with sharp eyesight here, they would definitely be able to see that each time the golden light circulated, the youth''s true energy and the strength of his body would increase.


    Although it was not fast, it was like the gurgling of water. It was continuous and did not stop.


    And that was the magic of the Tai Yi Primal Chaos Formula combined with the young man''s Nine Yang Saint Body.


    "Hu!"


    Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and let out a breath of the foul Qi inside his body. Feeling that the Zhen Qi inside his body had become stronger than yesterday, he could not help but feel a little happy.


    If he only relied on a normal cultivation method, with the thin spiritual energy on Earth, even if ten or even dozens of years had passed, it would be difficult for him to break through the Qi Cultivation stage to reach the Pei-Yuan Realm.


    But, heaven never bars one''s way.


    "Fortunately, I have the Nine Yang Saint Body and the Supreme Devil Primal Chaos Formula, but I still have to start searching for elixirs or other spiritual energy sources. If I can refine elixirs, then it would be of great help to my cultivation."


    After making up his mind, Ye Chen took care of his own business for a while, and then left the Source Control Pavilion.


    He didn''t start searching for these things immediately, and there was no need for him to do it himself.


    After all, a person''s information network was too limited. As long as he notified Old Man Su of the Su Clan, he would be able to save a lot of trouble.


    He arrived at the school as usual, but when he returned to the classroom, he saw a large group of people rushing out excitedly. They were like a magnificent army of thousands or horses marching across the grass as they rushed down the stairs. The entire school building was shaking at this moment.


    Especially those girls who were screaming and cheering, it made Ye Chen, who did not like the noise, frown.


    "What happened today?"


    Ye Chen asked as he looked at the fat guy, who was sitting in his seat, fiddling with his pen.


    "Brother Ye, the young master of the Duanmu family came back from studying abroad to attend the graduation party before this year''s college entrance exam." With his reputation as the school grass and his background as a rich and powerful family, there are naturally so many people who would go crazy for him. "


    The fatty said in a slightly sour tone. From his tone, it seemed that he was somewhat envious.


    "Graduation party? "So fast?"


    Ye Chen''s face slightly darkened. He could not help but sigh. Now that he thought about it, three years in high school had passed in a flash. However, the girl who had accompanied him all the way had become the greatest pain and shame.


    "Hey, you two, come over here and help with the moving. What are you doing over there?"


    Suddenly, a pretty voice came from the door, interrupting Ye Chen''s thoughts.


    The one who spoke was the class monitor for Ye Chen''s class, Wang Ziyi.


    Although she was a girl, everyone had seen her act so domineeringly before. He had some family background and power, especially towards people like himself and Fatty. He was even less polite.


    "Moving? "Why don''t you go find someone else?"


    Naturally, he did not have any good impression of this person.


    "Hehe, others, don''t you see that you two fellows are the only two idle fellows in this classroom? "Don''t delay the welcome party for Young Master Duanmu. Otherwise, you won''t be able to afford it!"


    The young girl''s face was filled with arrogance and contempt. Her exquisite makeup and clothing could not conceal her viciousness at this moment.


    "And that Ye Chen over there, wasn''t he very good at fighting a few days ago?" This isn''t good. I''ll let you stretch your limbs and move your things.


    Wang Ziyi looked at Ye Chen who was sitting on the seat, and seemed to have thought of something, as she jokingly added.


    Although Ye Chen''s performance in the classroom at that time was indeed impressive, it did not change the fact that he had no status and was looked down upon.


    What''s more, in their eyes, Ye Chen was not the only one who could fight in this school.


    "Ziyi, have you called anyone? The table over there is heavy and dirty, so we still need to find a few people. "


    Another voice came from the door, but when the man saw Ye Chen and the fat guy, his face turned even more unsightly. It was as if he wanted to vent his anger on the two of them.


    "What are you two doing? You''re unwilling to move anything, do you have any sense of responsibility as a class? And you, Ye Chen, weren''t you very active a few days ago? Why are you so afraid of moving all your things? "


    Zhao Jingwei coldly scolded. His tone was extremely unpleasant to hear and he did not seem like he was asking for someone else''s help.


    He was the class''s sports commissioner and the head of the school''s sports department and basketball department.


    He was tall and strong, with a height of nearly 1.8 meters. It was as if he was inferior to everyone else.


    Ye Chen did not answer, his face slightly darkened as he coldly looked at the two.


    This kind of superior attitude, coupled with the way he casually used his contempt, truly made the youth unhappy.


    "What are you two shouting about? Why are you not calling those people who went out just now to watch the show, and instead looking for the two of us?"


    Fatty was also getting angry. It was obvious that these two fellows were here to cause trouble.


    It was not hard to understand when she thought back to how these two used to hang out with Han City.


    "The reason I called you two is because I think highly of you two. Otherwise, how could you two be worthy of receiving the man god Duanmu?"


    Wang Ziyi coldly stared back at him, the disdain and contempt in her eyes growing even more intense.


    "You!"


    The fatty was about to retort, but he was stopped by a hand that suddenly stretched out in front of him.


    Ye Chen''s face was extremely gloomy. He coldly glanced at Wang Ziyi and Zhao Chengwei, then turned his head away, not even bothering to look at them directly.


    "Go back and tell your family''s male god Duanmu. Sorry, we don''t need it!"


    Ye Chen said in an indifferent tone, but it was also accompanied by a sense of ridicule and ridicule.


    He would not be polite to these people.


    "Also, if you want to find trouble, just say it. Otherwise, scram!"

 C16

    "You want me to scram? "You sure are cocky, aren''t you?"


    In this class, only a few young masters and young misses of even more terrifying background dared to use such a tone to speak to Zhao Manwei. There was really no one else apart from these few young misses and juniors who could be counted on one''s fingers.


    Even Han Cheng from the Han clan had never scolded him in such a manner.


    Zhao Manwei was instantly enraged. However, when he felt the youth''s imposing aura, the fierce words that were about to reach his mouth, his imposing aura weakened by a bit.


    "You want to be taught a lesson? "With so much nonsense, if you don''t automatically scram, I don''t mind becoming a manual."


    Ye Chen still did not turn his head back, he just leisurely sat down on his seat. That cold tone of his was enough to send chills down people''s spines.


    The youth wasn''t willing to fight with these people, so he didn''t even pay attention to them.


    However, if these flies wanted to kill themselves, they wouldn''t mind cleaning up for a while.


    "You! I can''t be bothered to talk to you here, the classroom isn''t the place for you to make a move. If you have the guts, come to the gym this afternoon. Naturally, someone will take care of you! "


    Zhao Manwei fiercely swallowed his saliva. He forcefully suppressed the trace of fear in his heart and spoke without any anger in his tone.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he didn''t want to lose face in front of Wang Ziyi, he really would have had the impulse to turn around and run away.


    "Oh? Get rid of me. If I go, and you fail to get rid of me, what should I do? "


    Hearing that these guys were still planning to attack him, Ye Chen got a little excited.


    He really wanted to see what qualifications and abilities these conceited and arrogant youths from wealthy families had to take care of him.


    "If you win, I''ll kowtow to you and admit my wrongs. I''ll even give you 2,000 yuan for dinner. If you lose, get the hell out of Beijing High School, what do you think?"


    Zhao Manwei seemed to have thought of something as his confidence increased by quite a bit.


    Her face was full of a sinister smile, it was unknown what she was planning to do to Ye Chen from behind the scenes. Looking at his face, it seemed as if as long as he agreed, Ye Chen would be the one to get kicked out in the end.


    "Five hundred thousand!"


    Ye Chen, who was sitting in the seat, casually stretched out his five fingers and shook them.


    Two thousand was not a big deal for these rich kids, but five hundred thousand was not a small sum for Zhao Manwei, the young master of a third-rate family in Beijing.


    "Deal!" Let''s wait and see! "


    Speaking of five hundred thousand yuan, Zhao Jingwei felt a pang of pain on his face. However, after struggling for a moment, he still decisively agreed.


    Previously, he knew that this Ye Chen had a little power to fight, but this time, he was determined to win.


    "Brother Ye, I wonder what these people are up to now. Since you agreed like this, aren''t you afraid of suffering losses?"


    After Wang Ziyi and Zhao Manwei left, Fatty at the side couldn''t help but speak up.


    In his mind, the Ye Chen of the past was not someone who liked to gamble. Not to mention the gym, he would even stop running on the sports field.


    "You want me to suffer? They don''t have that kind of ability. "


    Ye Chen smiled, but did not care.


    From the beginning to the end, he really didn''t put these small fries in his eyes.


    In any case, Chen Han and Fang Zi Ning were currently out studying abroad and were no longer in the school, so he would first take care of these henchmen.


    He had to make these people pay tenfold for their past grudges!


    The fat guy at the side looked at his brother and felt that the current Ye Chen was even more mysterious.


    After the morning''s preparations, the so-called welcoming ceremony for the young master of the Duanmu family had basically come to an end.


    Because of tonight''s graduation party, the school had not arranged for any courses to be given.


    This morning, it was bustling with noise and excitement. Especially the screams of some infatuated girls, it made the campus even more noisy.


    Of course, what shocked everyone even more was another piece of news.


    Ye Chen from the third year of high school said that Duanmu Lei was not his opponent, and invited him to challenge the gymnasium!


    When this news came out, it immediately became explosive news in Beijing High School. On the high school forum, the floors where this post was posted were instantly squeezed to the ground.


    What followed was a sky full of ridicule and ridicule, as well as a multitude of curses.


    Of course, they had never heard of Ye Chen before, but everyone knew the power of the young master of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Lei.


    In the afternoon, Yan Jing High School''s stadium was already bursting with crowds of people.


    In this place, other than Duanmu Lei''s fans, most of them were here to watch a good show.


    "Ying Ying, how dare that Wu Chen challenge Duanmu Lei? Tell me, will he win today?"


    In the front row of the gym, Zhao Mantian was munching on a bag of potato chips as she asked Liu Ying Ying, who was sitting beside her.


    Initially, the two of them had no interest in any sort of martial arts competition.


    However, when they heard that the two main characters today were Ye Chen and Duanmu Lei, they gave up on their afternoon nap and went shopping, rushing over early in the morning.


    "I heard that Duanmu Lei is very powerful. He''s even beaten up the martial arts school''s instructor." But Ye Chen... "Take a look, I keep having the feeling that this person is a bit mysterious ¡­"


    When she mentioned this name, Liu Ying Ying dragged her head along with a look of contemplation on her face.


    She had heard about what happened at Mayor Liu Qingshan''s place and the conflict in the administration office.


    Even his father could not understand this teenager named Ye Chen, let alone her.


    "If you want to deceive me, then so be it. You are still mysterious. From what I see, you must have taken a fancy to him, right? "Ai, I really can''t see that a great school beauty like you would actually fall for an unremarkable kid from the past. It seems like the sun has really risen from the west?"


    Zhao Mengsi had an evil smile on her face as she sized up her best friend who was usually known as the "Ice Mountain Goddess".


    If one were to talk about Liu Yingying''s suitors, they could talk about them. However, not only did she not respond to their invitations, she didn''t even spare them a glance.


    "Eat your potato chips!"


    A blush appeared on the young girl''s face. She immediately assumed a posture as if she wanted to strangle Zhao Mengsi to death.


    "Wah!" "Duanmu Lei is finally here!"


    "Duanmu Lei!"


    Just at that time, waves of wild cheers came from the entrance of the gymnasium, causing some people in the audience seats to start boiling.


    Below the stage, groups of girls swarmed over like they wanted to snatch their male gods.


    "Everyone move out of the way, let''s continue!"


    On both sides of Duanmu Lei was a group of bodyguards dressed in black, coldly berating him. This caused some of them to give up on the idea of rushing over.


    However, it had to be said that this youth called Duanmu Lei was indeed born with a good physique and was clad in black clothes that accentuated his noble disposition.


    The only thing lacking in beauty was perhaps the bit of evil and arrogance that was emitted from her eyes as they circulated.


    As they slowly walked to the center of the stadium, Zhao Jingwei, Wang Ziyi, and a few others hastily ran over. They served the tea like lackeys serving their lackeys.


    As for Wang Ziyi, she had already thought of her lines long ago. She pretended to be angry and started to fan the flames.


    "Duanmu, you''re finally back. That kid called Ye Chen is very arrogant, and he even insulted you this morning, calling you a pretty boy. You should teach that brat a lesson!"

 C17

    "Ye Chen?" "How come I''ve never heard of a person who dares to challenge me like that? Does he even deserve it?"


    Duanmu Lei had a disdainful look on his face.


    It wasn''t as though there hadn''t been a few fellows who wanted to use the challenge as a pretext to become famous in the academy. Just like Ye Chen''s name was now.


    Duanmu Lei looked at the cheers coming from the audience and felt like showing off in his heart.


    Even though he was from a wealthy family, his achievements in the Martial Dao were not something an ordinary person could compare with.


    He started practicing martial arts at the age of ten, and started practicing martial arts with Grandmaster Chen at the age of thirteen. At the age of fifteen, he was awarded the Black Belt of Taekwondo, and in the next few years, he won numerous martial arts awards of various sizes in the city and the province. They even won the recognition and favor of the national team.


    This time, he was invited by the national team when he returned to Beijing High School. If everything went well, then a few months later, he would not be standing on the same stage as Yan Jing.


    "Perfect, it''s been a long time since I last fought. Zhao Jingwei, come up and practice with me!"


    "Me?"


    When he heard Duanmu Lei''s unquestionable tone of command, the joyful Zhao Jingwei immediately turned miserable.


    Although he was the department head of the school''s sports department, the captain of the basketball team, and a huge man close to 1.8 meters in height, he was definitely a great fighter when it came to fighting. However, compared to Duanmu Lei, who was not any bigger or bigger than him, he could only laugh.


    "Wow, Brother Duanmu is about to make his move!"


    "What about Ye Chen?" That guy must have been scared off, right? How did he get on? "


    "In my opinion, that kid is just good for talking. Let alone teaching Duanmu Lei a lesson, he might even be able to beat that kid up even Zhao Manwei!"


    The mockery and disdain from below the stage mixed with the wild cheers and welcome of Duanmu Lei spread throughout the entire arena.


    However, the teenager named Ye Chen did not join the battle, which made those people who still had a last sliver of good impression of him to put his name on the blacklist.


    After all, no one thought highly of a guy who only knew how to boast and act strong without the slightest bit of courage.


    "Ying Ying, you seem to be scared of that man you like, right? It looks like your taste is a bit unreliable! "


    Zhao Mengsi put down the potato chips in her hands, glanced at the situation in the field, then nudged Liu Ying Ying, who was beside her, in annoyance.


    She had sacrificed her precious lunch break to accompany her best friend to watch this scene. In the end, not only did she not make a move, she did not even see Ye Chen.


    "He ¡­ Are you really scared? "


    Liu Ying Ying Ying subconsciously muttered as she gently stroked the hair on her forehead. A trace of faint disappointment and sadness appeared on her charming little face.


    Her watery eyes blinked, but it was unknown just what she was thinking.


    Just as the two girls were wondering and sighing, the fight between Duanmu Lei and Zhao Jingwei had already ended.


    It had to be said that even though he had trained in the school team, he still had two tricks up his sleeve. Combined with his 1.8m physique, his aura wasn''t weak at all.


    However, this person was kicked down to the ground by Duanmu Lei''s swift and smooth kick. Not to mention practicing, his body wasn''t even warm yet.


    "Brother Duanmu is the strongest!"


    Cries of surprise reverberated like rolling thunder in the gymnasium.


    In an instant, the name ''Duanmu Lei'' seemed to become a legend in everyone''s hearts.


    Zhao Jingwei, who had been outstanding in the school team, was actually unable to withstand one of his strikes.


    "I didn''t expect to meet such an expert in a middle school in China. How about you be my opponent?"


    Just as the waves of berserk cries were gradually suppressed, an extremely proud and aloof voice could be heard.


    However, his crappy Chinese Mandarin and his strong foreign accent instantly exposed his identity.


    "Japanese? Alright, this young master''s mood is good today, so I will give you a chance, and let you experience our Chinese martial arts! "


    Duanmu Lei glanced at the Japanese woman as she slowly made her way out and similarly retaliated arrogantly.


    He had some impression of this student from Japan and was one of the members of Beijing High School''s Martial Arts Club. However, this person''s actions were quite mysterious and his personality was arrogant. The two of them hadn''t known each other for long, so they didn''t have the chance to fight each other.


    "This is ¡­" It''s Xue Daisha from Japan, I didn''t expect her to be here today! "


    "This guy normally looks down on everyone. He relied on his status as a foreign student to beat up members of the Martial Arts Club. How hateful!"


    As soon as they saw the young girl dressed in a white robe, Xue Disha, enter the arena, everyone in the audience was filled with curses.


    The young girl''s black hair draped over her shoulders, and her skin was as white as snow. Within her flashing eyes, there was a trace of coldness and a fighting spirit.


    Their country''s martial arts and sword arts had always held themselves in high regard, looking down on the Chinese martial arts.


    This time, since she had the opportunity to make a move, she would naturally not let it go.


    "Make your move!"


    The girl''s right arm slightly drooped down as she bowed, making a gesture of "please".


    Naturally, Duanmu Lei did not hold back. His entire body was like an arrow that was filled with power as he explosively shot out.


    The two figures quickly intertwined. However, Duanmu Lei was no longer as carefree and arrogant as he was before.


    His fists were like rain as they crazily struck at Xue Daisha. However, the latter''s sword force did not decrease in the slightest. In fact, it even had an overwhelming advantage.


    Although it was a wooden sword, in Xue Daisha''s hands, it was as if a sharp blade had been released. With the might of a horizontal slash, Duanmu Lei had no way to resist at all.


    "Bam!"


    Along with a muffled grunt from the audience, a miserable figure was kicked flying like a kite with its string cut. It flew nearly ten meters away from the wooden floor of the gymnasium before finally stopping.


    At the sight of this, the cheers from the crowd instantly died down.


    Duanmu Lei, who had been regarded as a god and had always been victorious, who had been praised by both the coach and the national team, had been defeated!


    On the other hand, that Japanese woman of the same age who took the initiative to provoke him, Xue Disha, won.


    "Your Chinese martial arts are only mediocre!"


    The corners of Xue Disha''s lips moved and his face was filled with disdain. The words filled with endless ridicule and hostility echoed in the hall of the gymnasium.


    Even if the Chinese language was terrible, everyone could understand the meaning behind it.


    Countless people were furious in their hearts, but they could only clench their fists and cry out in grief.


    Even Duanmu Lei had lost. With just them alone, they would only lose face if they charged forward!


    "Is that so? In my opinion, the sword techniques of your Japan are only mediocre! "


    His voice was light and ordinary, but it seemed to have some sort of magical power to it, spreading through the entire hall.


    Immediately after, under the confused and disdainful gazes of some people, a slim figure slowly walked towards the center of the stadium.


    From the looks of it, this arrogant fellow was going to throw his life away once again.


    One had to know that even Duanmu Lei was defeated by Xue Disha''s wooden sword. No one present believed that among his peers, there was no one capable of taking care of this arrogant expert from a foreign country.


    "This person is..." "Ye Chen!"


    In the audience, some people suddenly recognized the youth that had appeared and exclaimed out loud.


    Hearing this somewhat disdainful and disdainful familiar name, some of the people in the audience did not show any sign of excitement or passion just because of the teenager''s presence. Instead, some of them started to sneer at Ye Chen.


    "Even Duanmu had been defeated, so don''t go up and embarrass China!"


    "Exactly, what qualifications does a fellow like you, who escaped on the spot, have to go up and show off?"


    "Hurry up and f * ck off, don''t continue joining in the fun ¡­"


    Although they were also not Xue Disha''s match, but they would never believe that Ye Chen had that kind of ability ¡­

 C18

    "One does not understand the Chinese martial arts, and the other belittles the Chinese martial arts. What genius, what mediocre talent!"


    Ye Chen did not bother to pay attention to their chatter. His loud and domineering voice instantly blocked out a lot of sounds of sighs and taunts.


    What the youth said not only slapped Duanmu Lei in the face, it also caused Xue Disha, who was standing in front of him, to be rendered speechless from choking.


    "Then do you know Chinese martial arts? How laughable. You dare to insult Young Master Duanmu? How shameless!"


    At this moment, Wang Ziyi, who was supporting Duanmu Lei''s extremely ugly face, spoke up.


    She, who had always disliked Ye Chen, was already filled with anger. He actually dared to humiliate the male god Duanmu, even more so since he had ignited the barrel of gunpowder.


    "Face? That was won through your own strength, and a scum like you, who is so overbearing, is not worthy to have it! "


    "You!"


    Hearing Ye Chen''s double entendre, Wang Ziyi''s face turned red, she was blocked and did not know how to reply.


    And Ye Chen''s sudden burst of coldness also made everyone in the audience not dare to say a single word.


    For some unknown reason, the power displayed by this boy had already caused some people''s hearts to waver. They even believed that this nameless boy that had suddenly appeared had the ability to fight against the Japanese Xue Daisha.


    "Ying Ying, this Ye Chen ¡­" "How come it doesn''t look like the Ye Chen from before ¡­"


    On one of the seats in the stadium, Zhao Mengsi pulled at the corner of Liu Ying Ying''s clothes with a slightly blank face and mumbled.


    "It''s more than ''don''t look like'', this is practically a completely different person ¡­"


    The girl held her delicate chin in one hand, but her limpid eyes were fixed on the youth''s figure, unwilling to move away from him even for a moment.


    "You have the qualifications to be my opponent."


    Xue Daisha''s black eyes looked at Ye Chen up and down, feeling the powerful aura coming from his body.


    Although Ye Chen did not take any action, not even taking half a step towards her, but even standing still gave the girl a sense of danger.


    "Really?" But you don''t have the qualifications to be my opponent! "


    Ye Chen let out a cold snort, the Zhen Qi in his body started to circulate, and the Qi around his body started to change once again.


    This time, the etiquette from before was gone as well, and she was truly angered.


    With her strength, not to mention a small secondary school in China, even in Japan''s Sword God Society, she was an outstanding existence among her peers.


    When had he ever been looked down upon like this?


    Xue Daisha held the sword with both hands, faced the sky, and closed his eyes. At this moment, his entire demeanor had undergone a fundamental change. He had become as indifferent as iron and as ice-cold as snow.


    That sword intent, which carried a murderous intent, instantly enveloped his entire body.


    "I didn''t expect her to have practiced it to such an extent. This is the Sword Truth of the Japanese nation. This state is clearly a step into the Dao." Once you enter, Ling Ran''s power will skyrocket! "


    On the field, a coach who had studied abroad in Japan finally had some insight at the last moment and was able to recognize the origin of this technique.


    The power of this sword strike was definitely not something that an ordinary peer could withstand.


    However, his words caused Duanmu Lei, who had barely managed to stabilize himself, to have a face that was so ugly that it seemed as though it was about to bleed.


    Because from the beginning to the end, Xue Disha had never treated him as his real opponent!


    Facing this nameless kid whom he despised, he had used his trump card!


    "Humph!" "I want to see what kind of tricks you can do, Ye Chen!"


    Duanmu Lei cursed in anger. His ashamed and angry expression began to turn malevolent.


    In the arena, under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, Xue Daisha finally made his move.


    Holding the sword with both of his hands, the sword power shot out like a rainbow, piercing through the sky, aiming straight towards Ye Chen''s throat!


    This sword seemed to be without any fancy tricks or variables. However, this sword move caused some of the instructors who knew a bit about martial arts to be stunned!


    This was definitely a peak-level sword attack. At the very least, it was definitely not an existence that they were confident they could block!


    On the other hand, the youngster was standing there without moving or dodging, just quietly standing there.


    In everyone''s eyes, his actions were courting death!


    "Bang!" "Crack crack!"


    As the sword struck down, the violent sword force froze in midair and instantly vanished into thin air.


    The youth lifted his right hand, and his two fingers lightly clasped together. The wooden sword that had chopped out was caught between his fingers, unable to move!


    "Break!"


    Ye Chen''s face turned cold. He slightly moved his finger, and a strong flow of zhen qi was released from his finger. That wooden sword was instantly shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground.


    "This... Impossible! "You!"


    Xue Disha stood rooted to the ground, his face pale. Even his arms, which were holding onto the wooden sword, began to tremble.


    This sword move of hers was the pinnacle technique that she had learned over the past ten years under the hands of the Grandmaster of the Sun Country''s Sword Arts. With the addition of Sword Truth, although it was a wooden sword, it was better than an ordinary weapon! It was impossible for him to receive or even break it with two fingers!


    Not only that, but the moment that wooden sword fell down, he felt a terrifying sword intent coming from that youth. Compared to that, he was like a firefly to the bright moon, an existence she couldn''t even look up to!


    "This... Is he still human!? "


    This time, it was not only Xue Disha who had been standing still. All the onlookers, who had been sneering at Ye Chen earlier, had all changed their expressions now.


    From disdain, ridicule, to anticipation, in the end, all that was left was shock, and even some pride!


    Some people had already begun rubbing their eyes, doubting the scene before their eyes.


    After a moment of silence, what erupted out of the arena was a collective gasp and thunderous applause!


    No matter what, this time, that mysterious young man represented the martial arts of China.


    Of course, the ones with the most unsightly expressions were still Zhao Manwei, Wang Ziyi, and Duanmu Lei, who were still waiting to watch a good show.


    At this moment, the faces of these people were burning with pain. One had to know, the taunts and slanders towards Ye Chen were all made by them. He was so arrogant just now.


    This was especially true for Wang Ziyi. Her face was ashen, and she was too embarrassed to even raise her head. The aggressive aura from before had completely disappeared.


    How could he still have the slightest bit of face now?


    But Ye Chen could not be bothered with these small fry anymore. He slowly walked towards the exit of the stadium without turning his head back. His cold words caused Xue Disha''s body to tremble.


    "Scram!" If you dare to slander the martial way of China again, I will break your sword! "

 C19

    "Oh, right. There are still some people who haven''t finished settling their accounts."


    While Ye Chen was walking slowly in front of the shocked eyes of the crowd, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at a certain direction in the battle.


    But this time, even though the words were so plain and without any ripples, it was as if thousands of ice needles were stabbing at people''s hearts.


    The arrogant aura and amazing strength displayed by the young man just now made it so that no one dared to underestimate him.


    "Leaves..." "Ye Chen, you have won. I, Zhao Jingwei, am willing to accept my defeat!"


    At the center of the arena, the gloomy expression on Zhao Mangwei''s face was as if he had cut a piece of flesh. Even his facial expression had become somewhat hideous.


    He squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body with great difficulty, spitting out these words word by word.


    "Admit defeat? Who told you to be so arrogant before, you deserve it! "


    As Ye Chen''s brother, the fat guy was in the audience, taunting that arrogant guy.


    Previously, when he had made a bet in the classroom, Zhao Bowei had not thought much of him, nor had he thought much of Ye Chen.


    "Bam!"


    With a deep sound of impact, the sports department, which had a height of nearly 1.8 meters, the basketball department''s leader and the high and mighty young master of the Zhao Family had his legs weaken as he knelt down before the nameless youth, who everyone thought was inferior to him!


    "I was wrong. I''ll give you the money after I bet, right ¡­"


    Zhao Jingwei spat out these words through gritted teeth.


    At this moment, his face, which was alternating between green and white, was burning in pain. He did not dare to raise his head again.


    To him, this was undoubtedly worse than being slapped a few times in public!


    "Scram, control your own mouth in the future!"


    But before he finished his sentence, Ye Chen had already walked out of the gymnasium with the fat guy who was following him. He did not even turn his head to look at Zhao Bowei, who was kneeling down in front of him.


    That final sentence, "roll away", was as if he was teaching a lesson to his own servants.


    The audience was already stunned by the series of dramatic changes. They stood dumbly on the spot, their faces filled with excitement.


    For a time, when he once again looked at that extremely ordinary looking skinny back, he felt an uncontrollable fear that arose involuntarily from the bottom of his heart.


    The current Ye Chen was no longer that obscure and ordinary Ye Chen!


    Finished with the trouble here, Ye Chen could not be bothered to stay in the gym any longer.


    Together with Fatty, they returned to the classroom to rest while simultaneously packing up.


    Today was supposed to be Ye Chen''s graduation party, but for the current teenagers, they had already lost all interest in these things.


    "I heard that during tonight''s graduation party, Goddess Xiao Yu will perform on stage. This is a rare opportunity!"


    In the classroom, Ye Chen was reading some books on modern medicine that he had borrowed from the library in a bored manner, updating his knowledge, while the fat guy beside him had no intention of staying idle.


    This person who had been single for nearly twenty years could not suppress his desire for beautiful women.


    "Goddess Xiao Yu? "Who is she?"


    Ye Chen did not think much of it, so he asked casually.


    All this while, he had not put these gossip and things to heart.


    "Chu Family''s daughter, Chu Yuling. She''s one of the school beauties they speak of. I heard that she''s beautiful and that she just returned from studying abroad a few days ago. What, do you want to meet her?"


    Just as the fatty was about to continue spitting out explanations, a slightly sour and delicate voice was interrupted.


    At some point, Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng had sat down, leaning against a seat not far away from Ye Chen. Their watery eyes were blinking. From the looks of it, they had been staring at Ye Chen for quite a while.


    "We also have two extra VIP tickets. Hey, Liu Ying Ying is too embarrassed to give them to you. I''ll send you guys off, no need to thank me."


    Zhao Meng said. She helplessly glanced at Liu Ying Ying, who didn''t dare to give her a ticket. She looked quite shy. It seemed that she had really changed her tastes this time.


    Seeing this scene, the remaining people in the class stared with their eyes wide open.


    This graduation party not only had a few important figures in the school participating, but the school had also invited a popular little piece of fresh meat to sing on stage. This had long since made its popularity difficult to come by.


    However, these two beauties had actually taken the initiative to send Ye Chen their tickets. It was simply unreasonable.


    "Alright then, let''s go take a look."


    Ye Chen helplessly looked at the fat guy, who was drooling over his ticket, then at the two girls, Liu Ying Ying and Liu Ying Ying, who were staring at him. He sighed slightly and finally agreed.


    As night fell, the Beijing High School''s graduation party was held as scheduled.


    However, this kind of liveliness and excitement was still way beyond Ye Chen''s imagination.


    In the school''s auditorium, which could hold over a thousand people, there was a bustling crowd.


    If it were not for the VIP tickets that Liu Yingying had sent over, Ye Chen and the fat man would not have been sitting in the first row, closest to the center of the stage.


    And Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng Si, the two beauties also sat down beside Ye Chen.


    This caused many people to focus their envious eyes on this extremely unfamiliar boy. If looks could kill, even if Ye Chen had a hundred lives, it would not be enough.


    "Humph!" This guy had always relied on women in the past, and it was the same for now! And you even shamelessly ran to the VIP seats! "


    Wang Ziyi, who was standing not far away, coldly stared at him as she muttered in a low voice.


    Beside her, Zhao Qiwei, Han Cheng, Wang Gang and some of the other rich kids were also staring at Ye Chen.


    Even if the teenager showed off his amazing power in the gymnasium, but no matter how powerful Ye Chen was, he was still just a poor boy with no background.


    "With his dog like appearance, it''s no wonder he was dumped. I won''t let him off if he dares to lay a hand on Liu Ying Ying."


    A man''s voice, equally mean, hummed softly.


    Zheng Yu''s face was full of pride as he cursed at Ye Chen from the bottom of his heart.


    As the young master of the Zheng Family and a second-rate family in Beijing, he could be considered a match for Liu Ying Ying.


    He even started to think of Liu Ying Ying as his girlfriend.


    And this Ye Chen, what was he?


    "This young master has only applied for a few days'' leave and this brat has already turned the sky upside down. I have to properly deal with him!"


    "That''s right, Brother Zheng. Don''t let this kid go!"


    On the side, Wang Gang also began chiming in.


    He had lost his face in the office before, and had been fiercely taught a lesson by Director Wang when he returned. The imprint of his palm on his face was still fresh in his mind.


    "Don''t worry. I, Zheng Yu, am not that easy to snatch!"

 C20

    Everyone was looking forward to the graduation party. After listening to the Leader''s usual opening speech and inscriptions, it finally began.


    The singing and dancing programs continued to perform on stage one after another. The lighting, the music, and the applause were even more mixed. It was extremely lively, and the crowd''s climax was one after another.


    However, the crowd still looked forward to it from the bottom of their hearts. They were looking forward to the finale of this time''s gala. There were even quite a few people who had already started to shout out the names of those two.


    "Next, let''s invite Chu Yuling and Duanmu Lei onto the stage and offer them to everyone ¡­"


    Before the host even finished his sentence, the cheers from below had already overshadowed the introduction.


    As the lights in the auditorium gradually turned from dim to soft, the scene under the lights gradually became clearer. The background curtain on the stage also changed.


    A delicate figure had already stood quietly in the middle of the stage. She wore a light colored short skirt and a white silk ribbon tied around her waist, revealing her proud and mature figure without a doubt.


    When paired with her delicate, porcelain doll like face and the hair covering her forehead, she appeared somewhat pure and cute. Her temperament was a bit different than Liu Yingying''s, who had the temper of a big lady and refused to let anyone see her.


    "Brother Ye, quickly look! Goddess Xiao Yu is here!"


    The fat guy who was sitting next to Ye Chen yelled out in excitement, while the excitement in the audience grew even more intense.


    "So it''s her."


    Ye Chen took a quick glance before he turned his eyes away. Only he could understand the slight curve of the corner of his mouth.


    The last time he met them, he just couldn''t bear to see those scum who relied on others to bully others. He didn''t expect that they would be so lustful.


    "Wah!" That''s male god Duanmu, he''s so handsome! "


    Before the cheers had even ended, another figure appeared at the place where the light fell.


    Duanmu Lei, who had just been taught a lesson in the gym this morning, had long since changed into a casual black tailcoat. His well-ironed attire and attire made him look like a male god.


    The lovestruck cries from below the stage finally began to gradually ring out and stop at the background music on the stage.


    Duanmu Lei''s fingers danced on the classical black piano. The gentle music accompanied the young girl''s graceful dance.


    Every jump and dance, the swaying of the body, like the willows by the stream, flexible and natural, graceful.


    At this moment, everyone below the stage seemed to have become immersed in the fantasy world formed by music and dancing. As they stared at the stage, no one dared to even miss a single second.


    "Goddess Xiao Yu is really worthy of her goal. She stood out during the preliminary auditions and was even highly regarded by those senior coaches. She even won a bunch of super girls'' awards ¡­"


    "That''s right. The Goddess has outstanding talent. This time, she was able to study abroad at Hayden University in the Mi Nation. This might be the last time we see her in our lives."


    "If only I could talk to the goddess, I would be willing to use five years of my life in exchange!"


    Following the stop of the dance, some of the people below the stage stared with their eyes wide open, wishing they could see through the thin muslin dress.


    Discussions broke out unceasingly. Some people were already having all sorts of delusions and joking.


    Of course, with most people''s status and talents, no matter what, it was impossible for them to be worthy of this kind of proud daughter of heaven who was outstanding in every aspect.


    Just as the performance was about to end, Duanmu Lei was holding a bunch of bright red roses as he walked step by step towards Chu Lingyu, who was still standing quietly in the middle of the crowd.


    "Wow!"


    Seeing this scene, the crowd below the stage seemed to understand what was going to happen in a single glance. They also guessed what was going to happen next.


    "A male god Duanmu is matched with a goddess Xiao Yu. A perfect match for a perfect pair. This is simply a match made in heaven!"


    "Together!" Together! "


    In an instant, Duanmu Lei''s lackeys, who were already on standby, began to cheer for him. The tempo of the match also transformed into the cries of two people together.


    "Yu Ling, I came back this time for you. Can you be my girlfriend?"


    Duanmu Lei held the flowers in his hands and looked at the young girl before him with deep feelings.


    Deep in his heart, his heart was blooming with happiness. For this party, this confession, to be able to sleep with a beautiful goddess like Chu Yuling, it could be said that he had plotted and plotted for a long time.


    "You ¡­"


    At first, Chu Yuling was somewhat at a loss. However, soon after, a trace of shame, anger and helplessness appeared on her charming face.


    The young girl didn''t have the slightest good impression of Duanmu Lei, not to mention that the rumors of the young master from a wealthy family being amorous had made a pure and cute girl like her feel slightly disgusted with him.


    "Let''s go, there''s nothing to see here."


    Below the stage, Ye Chen glanced at Duanmu Lei with disdain, then shook his head helplessly.


    With the youth''s experience, it wouldn''t be difficult for him to see through this rich young master''s romantic personality. He was too lazy to even glance at this scum.


    "Go?" "What? Ye Chen, this party is not even over yet, and you''re already thinking of leaving?"


    Right at the moment when Ye Chen stood up, an ear-piercing sneer came over.


    The one who spoke was Class Rep Wang Ziyi, who was with Zhao Manwei earlier.


    At this moment, she had her hands on her hips and a very proud expression on her face.


    "Aren''t you jealous to see us, male god Duanmu, being together with your goddess? For people like you who were born into destitute families, don''t even dream about eating swan meat like toads. There are some people that you don''t even deserve to know! "


    Wang Ziyi was incomparably spirited, as if the male god Duanmu Lei was her own.


    Her voice was not loud, and it quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding people.


    When he saw this nameless youngster sitting in the VIP seats with his underlings and the two school beauties beside him, his expression immediately turned strange.


    "Tsk tsk tsk, this kid really knows how to rely on women. If they''re not the same kind of people, then don''t push yourself!"


    "I can''t believe this Ye Chen is so shameless!"


    "Could it be that he wants to compete with Duanmu male god here and snatch Goddess Xiao Yu away? Haha, this is simply too funny ¡­"


    With the help of Wang Gang and Zheng Yu, the few rich kids soon became the target of many people.


    Countless scornful and hostile gazes were accompanied by various ridicule and ridicule. Not to mention Ye Chen, even the fat man and Liu Ying Ying could not stand it anymore.


    "Ye Chen, this is not a place for you to sit. Stay away from them. There are some people that you better not covet, otherwise ¡­"


    Seeing this opportunity, Zheng Yu taunted Ye Chen ferociously. His arrogant and proud look made him look like he was about to take charge of the whole world.


    However, before he could finish his words, he abruptly stopped. This was because he was unable to continue on with the second half!


    "Ye Chen!"


    Following a gentle call, a green figure pounced over to the audience seats.


    Standing up, Ye Chen felt a sweet smell coming from in front of him. It was followed by a warm little person that entered his arms. That kind of wonderful feeling made the teenager lose his mind for a second ¡­

 C21

    Chu Yuling''s sudden actions not only stunned Zheng Yu, who was taunting Ye Chen, but also stunned Duanmu Lei who was on the stage. All the people in the arena instantly stopped talking.


    Everyone stared with widened eyes. There were even some who felt that their views of the world had been turned upside down!


    The goddess Xiao Yu in his mind, not only did she not choose the rich and handsome young master Duanmu Lei, but she also threw her arms around Ye Chen, the young man who was still unknown a few days ago!


    "This... Ye Chen! "You!"


    Zheng Yu almost instantly changed his words as he cursed.


    At this moment, his expression changed to one of extreme brilliance. And Wang Ziyi, who was also planning to mock Ye Chen, suddenly turned pale.


    Chu Yuling''s action was no doubt a ruthless slap on the faces of these people. Their faces were burning with pain!


    It was even more humiliating than if Ye Chen had humiliated them directly.


    "Brother Ye ¡­"


    Even the fat man who was the brother of Ye Chen was shocked. He couldn''t help but look at his mysterious brother with a shocked face.


    He had wanted to look at the goddesses of others before, but now ¡­


    "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn''t think that this Ye Chen would have the ability to captivate the school beauties, he''s not simple at all!" Ying Ying, your love rival is here. "


    Zhao Mengsi raised her eyebrows at Liu Ying Ying and, as always, joked with her best friend.


    "I... See you later! "


    Chu Yuling, who had recovered from her excitement upon seeing the youngster, immediately leapt backwards like an electrocuted rabbit. She hurriedly ran out of the hall with a blush all over her face.


    Ever since she was saved by the young man and sent home, Chu Yuling had been attracted by his temperament.


    However, it had always been unknown when fate had brought them together again, and they didn''t know each other''s names.


    Ye Chen could feel the burning gazes from all around him, but he could only let out a faint sigh from the bottom of his heart.


    [A beauty is a disaster. That is a good word.]


    "Fatty, let''s go."


    Ye Chen stood up blandly, completely ignoring the murderous stares of the crowd. As for Duanmu Lei, who was on the stage holding a rose with his eyes so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out, the teenager did not care either.


    Perhaps in the eyes of these people, he was Duanmu Lei, the young master of the Duanmu family, who could never be offended.


    But in Ye Chen''s eyes, it was just a small fry that had no power.


    "Ye Chen!" I, Duanmu Lei, swear that I will make you pay! "


    Duanmu Lei almost dropped the bouquet of bright roses as he roared in his heart.


    However, when he recalled the youth''s terrifying strength, even if he wanted to make a move now, he could only endure it.


    In this situation, no one dared to go up and embarrass themselves a second time.


    Just like that, under the shocked and jealous eyes of the entire hall, Ye Chen left the hall with the fatty and Liu Ying Ying who did not know what was going on.


    And this time, Ye Chen''s name had completely spread across the entire high school!


    The end of the graduation party had also temporarily brought Duanmu Lei''s situation to a close. The school was also taking a few days off, so everyone had to properly adjust themselves.


    Ye Chen returned to the Source Control Pavilion and continued to train and absorb the Sky and Earth aura, which had boosted his cultivation by quite a lot.


    His cultivation level had advanced by leaps and bounds. Within a few days, the young man''s cultivation level had reached the peak of the early Second Sky of Mortal Realm. He was only one step away from the middle stage.


    "Oh, the Yin Energy that I have absorbed this time has really helped a lot!"


    Ye Chen stood up, feeling his body''s condition. The black spots on his palm had also been completely changed.


    But even with this cultivation speed, it was still not enough to satisfy Ye Chen.


    The higher one''s level of cultivation was, the more boundless and majestic the spiritual energy required was.


    At that time, if he wanted to improve, it would be as difficult as ascending the heavens.


    "If there is a chance, I will have to bitterly look for it. If I rely on my normal training to break through to the Mortal Realm, it will be too long term for me."


    Ye Chen mumbled to himself.


    Even though with his current cultivation base coupled with the ancient cultivation technique, the Great Chaotic Art must not be underestimated.


    However, there would be some people who would fear firearms. Furthermore, one could not guarantee that there would not be any more powerful cultivators on this earth.


    "Ding ding ding!"


    That familiar ringtone came from his cell phone. Ye Chen stared at the screen, after a while, he could not help but reveal a look of joy.


    "Since Elder Su has news of the Heaven Mountain Qi Snow Lotus, it''s just right. Perhaps we''ll find some things that are worth looking at in this level of auction."


    Elder Su''s notice was like a coal in the snow for the current Ye Chen.


    In the high-end auctions, everyone relied on their own ability and luck.


    With the Su Clan''s background and prestige, they should still be able to obtain a sum from this.


    After a simple cleaning up, the driver from Old Man Su soon arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Source Pavilion and respectfully took Ye Chen in.


    Ever since that mysterious young man had casually gifted him that legendary high rank cultivation technique in the Su family, Ye Chen had become a VIP guest of the Su family, and even a legendary figure.


    Not to mention the servants of the Su Clan, even if Elder Su was here, he would still have to be polite.


    "Master Ye, this trip to the auction house will take around an hour, please take a good rest."


    Just as he got on, the driver respectfully reminded him.


    "An hour? Isn''t this auction house in Yan Jing? "


    "No, to be honest, this time the auction house is the Mingde auction house. They only come to Beijing to hold an auction once every two years because every time they cause a sensation and their security work, the location is usually in the suburbs, not the city."


    The driver continued to explain.


    At the Ming De Auction House, Ye Chen had heard of this place before. However, this name did not seem to fit the name of this place.


    Some of the things in their hands did not come from official channels. There were even some that were difficult to determine.


    Another characteristic of the auction was that their starting prices were extremely low.


    Of course, buying depended on one''s eyes and luck, and also had some gambling properties.


    "Hopefully, my luck will be quite good this time around ¡­"

 C22

    Outside the outskirts of Yan Jing, a rather unremarkable property market was the home of the auction house.


    It could only be said that the so-called Ming De Auction House had spent a lot of time and effort to conceal this from Ye Xiao.


    "Master Ye, you''re finally here. The old tutor has some urgent matters to attend to. I''ll accompany you to the auction this time."


    The moment the car stopped, Su Peng hurriedly opened the car door and walked over.


    He was Old Man Su''s second son and had been doing business all year round. He had a market capitalization of nearly 10 billion. In the business world of Yan Jing, he was considered a great man and had quite a reputation.


    But today, he was being so polite, it made all those people around him look at Ye Chen in disbelief.


    "Ye Chen, long time no see."


    Beside Su Peng, Su Xue''er, who was already bored to death, jumped out happily, stuck out her tongue playfully, and greeted Ye Chen.


    This time, knowing that Su Peng was out to meet Ye Chen, he seemed to be alive. The young girl had spent a lot of time and effort to act like a spoiled child before her grandfather, which was why she was allowed to come out.


    "Xue''er, don''t be rude."


    Su Peng could not help but scold his niece when he saw that she was not only calling him by his first name, but also grabbing onto the corner of Ye Chen''s shirt.


    After all, the current Ye Chen''s position in the Su Family was only second to the old man.


    "No worries, just let her be like this. Also, tell me about the situation here."


    Ye Chen gently stroked the black hair on Su Xue''er''s forehead. She had also leaned her body towards him. Ye Chen had a good impression of this innocent, cute little girl who had such a short temper.


    However, the youth could not help but furrow his brows when he felt the looks and doubting gazes that surrounded him.


    "Isn''t this CEO Su? "How rare, I actually bumped into you here today."


    Just as the two of them were about to enter your building, a rather sinister voice was transmitted over.


    Looking back, he saw a pot-bellied fatty holding a fiery hot lady beside him with one hand and calling out to him with the other.


    That arrogant and proud look of his made Ye Chen understand that this fatty''s status was even higher than Su Peng''s.


    "New Source Corporation''s Boss Lin, I didn''t expect him to come as well?"


    "The 100 billion dollar business magnate that recently went public in Hong Kong? I heard that they even received quite a bit of funding from the government departments, with quite a bit of history behind them! "


    "Their Lin Family can be said to have many talents. As expected of a large clan in Yan Jing ¡­"


    The waves of exclamations made Ye Chen even more clear about the origin of this pot-bellied man.


    However, he immediately recalled the incident with Chu Yuling.


    Towards the arrogant Lin Clan that relied on their strength to bully others, they did not have the slightest bit of good will towards them.


    "CEO Su, have you considered about the matter of buying the Imperial Source Pavilion last time? That group of villas, did we already offer the highest price? "


    "This ¡­"


    When this matter was brought up, Su Peng''s face went into an intense change.


    Fortunately, he noticed that the youth beside him did not have much of a reaction. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.


    Their Su Clan could not offend the Lin Clan, and even more so, they could not offend Master Ye.


    "Since the villa has already been gifted to you, I hope Boss Lin understands. It''s unlikely that you''ll be able to purchase it."


    "Gift? Who would be worthy of such a generous gift from your Su Family? "


    That Boss Lin''s reply was already filled with anger. How could he just simply watch as the villa he had obtained flew away?


    The location of the Imperial Source Pavilion could be said to be the prime location for Yan Jing''s development. It was also the reason why their Lin Family had always coveted it.


    "Since CEO Su is so bold, then I won''t say anymore. Next time, when I have time, I will personally pay a visit to see who exactly is the sage who dared to snatch something from me, Lin Yutian! "Let''s go!"


    Director Lin gave a cold humph and glared at Su Peng. As for Ye Chen, he completely ignored him and stepped into the market ahead of Su Peng.


    Looking at the scene of the ten bodyguards in black starting the fight, no one dared to approach them.


    "Master Ye, let''s go in. That person is Lin Clan''s Boss Lin. He can be considered an old rival of our Su Clan. There are some words that should not be taken to heart."


    He, who had been in the shopping mall for a long time, naturally had some self-control and a normal look on his face. However, Ye Chen could still feel the helplessness and sadness in his voice.


    "That fatty is really despicable. He even came to our Su Clan to cause trouble with Grandfather before. If there''s a chance, you have to help us vent our anger!"


    Beside Ye Chen, Su Xue''er was clenching her fist tightly, looking extremely angry. It seemed that she did not have a good impression of this Boss Lin.


    "Don''t worry, Xue''er. If he dares to come, I''ll definitely deal with him."


    Ye Chen smiled, but what Su Peng thought was a joke made Su Xue''er smile like a flower.


    After all, the current Ye Chen looked quite far away compared to the Chairman Lin in the business world.


    When Ye Chen and Xia Xinyan arrived at the auction house, it was already packed full.


    The two floors of the auction house, which was big enough to accommodate a thousand people, was bustling with noise and excitement.


    After Su Peng showed his VIP card, Ye Chen and Su Li were led to a private room on the second floor by the maid.


    Not only was he able to see far and wide, he was also able to look down at a much better environment than the crowded floor.


    "Master Ye, I heard that the Sky Mountain Qi Snow Lotus will appear in this time''s auction. Please verify whether it is real or fake. Also, if master has anything else you like, our Su family will also auction it off."


    Su Peng personally poured a cup of tea for Ye Chen as he explained.


    Ye Chen slightly nodded, and without saying anything, he turned his head to look at the center of the auction area.


    Ye Chen would never be able to keep up with a man of his word. Since he had promised Old Man Su, Ye Chen would definitely get this Qi Snow Lotus.


    Su Xue''er was also extremely obedient. She quietly sat beside Ye Chen, observing the surroundings with great interest. Everything here seemed to have attracted her interest.


    Soon, the grand auction that was being held by the Ming De Auction House started. One item after another was brought up, and the beautiful host under the stage passionately introduced the items that were being auctioned.


    "This auction item was left behind from the ruins of a previous dynasty, it is called the Dragon-Breaking Blade, and was created by the craftsman master from the previous dynasty, Li Jian. Even today, it is as sharp as mud, and used as a collection item or as a weapon, it is still a great treasure ¡­"


    The host was holding a purple and black sandalwood box in his hands. His tempting voice spread throughout the entire venue.


    It was unknown whether the burning gazes of the crowd were on the treasured blade in the wooden box or the perfect figure in the fiery-red cheongsam. It must be said that with this proud figure and mature lady''s demeanor, she was indeed able to attract a great amount of attention.


    "The starting price is 100,000, begin the bidding!"


    "I bid two hundred thousand!"


    "Raise the bid by three hundred thousand!"


    "Five hundred thousand!"


    "..."


    The sounds of bidding and bidding rose one after another, causing the previous treasured blade that she spoke of to be raised to the value of a million.


    "Master Ye, we..."


    Seeing Ye Chen''s eyes sweeping across the stage, Su Peng, who was standing beside him, thought that he had taken a fancy to something.


    After all, Old Man Su had only met this young Master Ye at the antique street, which also showed how much Ye Chen liked antiques.


    "It''s just a pile of junk. Just looking at it is enough."


    Ye Chen casually waved his hand, but when he was ready to look away, his eyes landed on an unremarkable piece of jade on the stage. Even from a few dozen meters away, Ye Chen could still see everything clearly.


    This jade was not even the size of a fist and it looked very bumpy. If an ordinary person were to look at it from a close distance, the impurities on the jade were very obvious. Aside from the faint purple color on the tip, there was nothing special about it.


    "Take that piece of jade and I''ll use it."


    A hint of happiness flashed through the youth''s eyes as he instructed ¡­

 C23

    "Is it that piece of jade? I''ll film it later. "


    Su Peng, who was standing aside, stared at the jade stone dozens of meters away. In his opinion, it was nothing noteworthy, but since Ye Chen had asked, he would not ask about it.


    The following bidding on the auction field was also abuzz with excitement.


    Other than the antiques and precious artifacts that had just been auctioned off, a few rare spiritual medicines had also been brought out.


    But on Ye Chen''s side, he did not bid even once.


    How could those so-called treasures be able to escape from Ye Chen''s Fiery Eyes of Truth?


    "This Ming De Auction House is also a good method. Take these medicinal ingredients that are not even ten years old and casually wrap them up. Then, you will pass off as a hundred year old elixir."


    Ye Chen glanced at the beautiful lady in the fiery red cheongsam on the stage with disdain, but deep down his heart, he was quite annoyed.


    These things might be of some use to ordinary people, but in the past, he had once viewed the mountains and rivers of the Nine Prefectures.


    The atmosphere in the second floor of the private room was the complete opposite.


    Ye Zichen saw Boss Lin, who casually leaned back on the sofa, hug the hot lady in her arms with one hand as she spoke domineeringly to the man in black.


    "Buy, buy all these good things. Also, pay attention to the Su Clan members opposite us. Since they plan to oppose our Lin Clan, let them know today who is not someone their Su Clan can afford to offend!"


    Boss Lin''s expression turned cold as he fiercely cursed the Su Clan.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that Old Man Su had some connections with the Su family due to his reputation, the Lin family, who had been his rival for so many years, would have swallowed him up.


    "Also, that girl is not bad. Find a way to get her!"


    This oily fat man had an evil smile on his face as he looked at the host on stage. His wretched eyes constantly swept over everyone.


    In any case, with his New Source Group''s CEO, Yan Jing''s first-rate family, the Lin family, if they wanted to get someone else, they would have countless underhanded means.


    "Next, the piece of high-grade He Tian jade that we will be auctioning is the one excavated by Jiang Yuan Yu City. Although it is just a piece of ore, as long as it is carved, it will definitely be crystal clear and pleasant." "If you can carve and wear it, it will be more nutritious ¡­"


    The host took out the stone that Ye Chen had his eyes on before, and started to flatter him.


    However, because the appearance of the jade was not that good, the number of people bidding decreased compared to before.


    Even that big boss, Boss Lin, rarely did not bid.


    "Seven hundred and fifty thousand!"


    "Eight hundred thousand!"


    Seeing that the bid below the stage was about to reach its end, Su Peng, who had been paying attention to this auction, announced his own bid.


    "Is that CEO Su? I never thought that the Su Family would actually be interested in this piece of jade. "


    The moment Su Peng spoke, his identity was instantly recognized by some of the people below the arena. In Yan Jing city, most people knew his name, CEO Su.


    As for those who did not want to raise the bid anymore, when they saw Director Su open his mouth, they did not want to offend such a big shot. They all gave up and decided to give the jade away.


    "Great Master Ye, the auction of this jade is over ¡­"


    "One million!"


    As Su Peng was turning around to report to Ye Chen about the situation, he was interrupted by a sudden bid increase, which made Su Peng''s expression darken.


    There was also a sense of confrontation in that shout.


    "Director Su, it just so happens that a few stones are missing from the fake mountain in the backyard of my villa. How about you give it to me?"


    In another box on the second floor, an extremely strong smell of gunpowder could be heard once again.


    "This... It''s actually Boss Lin? "


    "I didn''t expect Boss Lin to be interested in this jade ¡­" "Or ¡­"


    The crowd immediately recognized the identity of the person who was fighting against the Su Clan. They originally thought that the clan''s power would give up its life and dare to bid against the Su Clan.


    But from the looks of it, the situation had become somewhat more delicate.


    Many of those with sharp reactions realized what was going on. Everyone quietly watched and waited for the next show.


    "One million and five hundred thousand!"


    Su Peng clenched his teeth and cursed the opposite Boss Lin in his heart. However, his expression was the same as usual and he did not reply the other party''s taunt. Instead, he continued to raise the bid.


    Since Ye Chen asked for it, how could he give it up so easily?


    "2 million!"


    Without any hesitation, Boss Lin casually gave him five hundred thousand. After all, in terms of wealth, they were many times stronger than the Su Clan.


    "Hahaha, CEO Su, no matter what, I have to take the jade today? What, you want to compete with me? "


    Fatty Lin''s hearty laughter instantly spread throughout the entire venue.


    Normally, there would be people who would try to control this kind of disturbance in the auction house. However, this time, both sides were important figures in Yan Jing, so there was no one who would turn a blind eye to it.


    "4 million!"


    Ye Chen slowly put down the teacup in his hand. That cold and flat echo made Su Peng, who was about to ask Ye Chen more, a little bit shocked.


    If the jade was in the outside world, not to mention four hundred thousand, it probably wouldn''t even be worth forty thousand.


    But this Ye Chen, he had raised the price to this extent in one shot. No matter what, he seemed to be a bit reckless.


    "Who do you think you are, a little kid dares to bid?!" Six million! "


    That Boss Lin was still full of vigor and arrogance, with an overweeningly arrogant look on his face.


    With regards to Ye Chen, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, not to mention taking it seriously, he did not even spare a glance at him.


    Even the Su Clan did not dare to go against him, Lin Yutian, let alone a little brat like him.


    "Alright then. Consider this six million stone as your Boss Lin''s IQ tax. However, this tax is a little overpaid. You should keep it well."


    The corner of Ye Chen''s mouth slightly raised, his face looked very calm and relaxed, but his words, full of ridicule, instantly made everyone who was watching the show laugh.


    A veteran of the shopping mall had been set up by an unknown youngster. If this were to spread, then there would be no place for Boss Lin to lose face.


    "You! Good... Good boy! Just you wait! "


    The ecstatic expression on Boss Lin''s face suddenly froze. In the next moment, it turned into an incomparable rage, and even his expression became somewhat sinister.


    How could he tolerate such defeat at the hands of a young man when he valued face and vanity?


    "Master Ye, what a great technique. I, Su, have witnessed it."


    Su Peng''s slightly sunken expression slowly spread out as he generously praised the youth that had an expression that had always been as heavy as water.


    At this moment, even though he was so close to Ye Chen, he still could not see through this teenager. He could not help but sigh.


    "This Ye Chen, he doesn''t look like a teenager no matter how you look at him ¡­"


    Although Su Xue''er was quite happy to see the fat teenager being lectured, she was not angry at all. However, Ye Chen did say that he wanted that piece of jade very much.


    "Ye Chen, did you just give him that piece of jade?" That''s what you want. "


    The girl pouted with her cute little mouth, as if she was trying to fight for the teenager''s injustice. She then pointed out her white finger and poked Ye Chen gently.


    "Give it to him? "Don''t worry, no one can take what I want from me, Ye Chen."


    A strange glow suddenly flashed through the youth''s black eyes. His words were as ordinary as before, but they exuded the domineering aura of a king. It was filled with authority ¡­

 C24

    During the next auction, Ye Chen made a few moves as well. However, it was not surprising that every time he made a move, he would be bought off by Lin Fan at a high price.


    However, the young man seemed to be extremely indifferent and indifferent towards all of this. He only asked Su Peng to pay attention to the final Heavenly Mountain Qi Snow Lotus. After all, the main reason for coming to the auction was this medicinal herb.


    "Next, we will take out the last item for this auction. The auction house spent a high price to purchase it from a medical master a while ago. Everyone, look carefully!"


    The qipao beauty let out a delicate shout, causing the atmosphere, which was a bit sluggish just moments ago, to once again erupt in flames.


    Instantly, the gazes once again focused on the small auction stage in the middle.


    He saw an exquisite, jade-like box being carefully offered up. The entire box was snow-white and on top of the white jade, lines of exquisite patterns intersected and intertwined together, making people dazzled.


    On the top of the box, there was a lifelike flying dragon that was imprinted on it.


    What was even more surprising was that even though they were quite a distance away, they could still feel a bit of the cold air.


    "It''s actually top grade White Ice Jade! This is top grade treasure among the jade materials, to actually use this kind of jade box. It seems like this spiritual medicine is not simple!"


    "Just this box alone should be worth over a hundred thousand ¡­"


    "It is indeed worthy of being a treasure. This time around, I must grasp this opportunity well ¡­"


    Seeing that the atmosphere below was so lively, the Qipao beauty''s goal was achieved.


    As the lid of the box was removed, a sparkling and translucent white lotus flower appeared before everyone''s eyes.


    Although this Heaven Mountain Qi snow lotus was only the size of a fist, the special cold spiritual energy contained within it spread across the area the moment the box was opened.


    "The Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus has a flower every ten years, and 10% of it is extremely hard to find. This flower has the title of the coldest flower in the world, and it has a miraculous effect on nourishing the bodies of those who lack cold qi or suffering from diseases ¡­" The starting price is one million! "


    "2 million!"


    Almost at the same moment the auctioneer finished his sentence, the sounds of bidding increases from below the stage gushed out like a wave.


    The passion and enthusiasm of the Heaven Mountain Qi lotus made them all hold illusions. If they were lucky enough to get it, their luck would be incredibly good.


    "Although this Tianshan Qi Snow Lotus is not a top hundred year old treasure, it has sufficient medicinal effects. It is greatly beneficial to Old Man Su''s illness."


    Ye Chen took a glance at the flowers in the white jade box, and explained to Su Peng who was beside him.


    Since he was lucky enough to see such a rare item, how could he let it go so easily?


    However, Ye Chen and the others had still underestimated how passionate these people were about the Heaven Mountain Qi lotus. It was just that after a few minutes, the price of the snow lotus had already risen to ten million level before it finally stopped.


    After all, if the small powers and third-rate families of Yan Jing wanted to take out this money, they would have to seriously consider it.


    Ten million was not a small amount.


    "20 million!"


    Just as the voices in the auction eased, this sudden overbearing bid undoubtedly caused everyone to pause for a moment.


    And with such a rich and imposing voice, the only one present was only CEO Lin of the New Origin Corporation.


    At this moment, he had a complacent expression as he looked at the room that Su Peng and the others were in, seeming to be showing off something, yet it seemed to be a provocation at the same time.


    It was obvious that Boss Lin still bore a grudge towards the previous incident.


    "Boss Lin, you just bought a stone and now you want to buy flowers, could it be that you want to buy a set? Why don''t you save some for us? "


    Ye Chen glanced at Director Lin, who was standing opposite of him. This teasing words had made the people below the stage quiet down for a while.


    One after another, their eyes all landed on Ye Chen who was standing right next to them.


    This youth had dared to be this hostile towards Boss Lin time and time again. It could only be said that he was acting like a madman.


    One must know that even the Su Clan had to fear the Lin Clan, but this young man ¡­


    "Is this kid crazy? Is he tired of living?"


    "That''s not right, he doesn''t seem to be from the Ye Family?"


    "It was this brat who provoked Boss Lin just now. This is truly a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. I wonder what kind of miserable ending will occur in the future ¡­"


    This time, Ye Chen took the initiative to stand up, which finally attracted more people''s attention. They also realized that he was not from the Su Family.


    However, seeing such a person with no background and thinking that the Su Clan was enough to look down on the Lin Clan, some people started to prepare to watch a good show.


    "Stay?" I''ll take this flower home and keep it there. Anyway, it''s so beautiful. If you really can''t do it, I can stew it into a sweet flower soup. After all, this sort of strange item is not something that you people deserve! "


    Boss Lin was so angry that his teeth were itching. His angry rebuke was as though he was facing his father''s murderer.


    However, when he thought about how he could suppress the Su Clan and suppress this unknown brat''s arrogance, he felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart.


    "What, your Su family can''t afford it. For a brat like him to be so talkative, does Director Su, a businessman that''s been around for decades, only know how to use such tricks?" Or could it be that your Su Family has lost all face without money? "


    Lin Yutian shouted loudly. He was not so much rejecting Ye Chen as attacking the entire Su Family in front of everyone.


    As for Ye Chen, who was opposing him, he was completely ignored.


    Even if he did not know why the Su Clan would let him appear, he, Lin Yutian, would not take such a small character seriously.


    "This damn fatty!" You still dare to talk about our Su Family like that! "


    Su Xue''er, who was sitting on the chair and swinging her snow-white legs a moment ago, immediately jumped down and scolded Lin Yutian, who was facing her with a face full of anger.


    He was truly worthy of being Elder Su''s granddaughter. With his hands on his hips, he looked like he wanted to find Boss Lin for a reason.


    "Sigh, Xue''er, come back and sit down. I''ll handle this."


    Su Peng''s face was also gloomy, but his expression was gloomy.


    If there really were to be a conflict, then the Su Clan would have to take a step back. From the looks of it, the Tianshan Qi Snow Lotus that the Old Master wanted was definitely going to fail ¡­


    However, the next few words that came out from Ye Chen''s mouth made Su Peng almost fall off his chair!


    "If you dare to take back this Heaven Mountain Qi Snow Lotus, you, Lin Yutian, will definitely die!"

 C25

    The sudden word "certain death" that came out of Ye Chen''s mouth stunned everyone present for a second.


    The moment it was over, it was all the laughter in the hall!


    Let alone such a small youth, even if Elder Su from the Su family or a top doctor from the hospital were to stand here, he would not dare to directly decide the life and death of others here.


    As long as Boss Lin wasn''t terminally ill, could it be that a nameless youngster like him wanted to make a move on the Lin Clan?


    "Master Ye, what are you doing!"


    Su Peng hurriedly stood up from his chair. Waves of fear continuously surged up from his heart. His tone already vaguely contained some complaints about the reckless actions of Great Master Ye.


    This time, he was quite frightened. Could it be that the Great Master Ye invited by the Su family wasn''t able to buy this Tianshan Qi Snow Lotus, and was planning on forcefully killing them to silence everyone?


    Putting aside the fact that this was against the law, if the Lin Family were to be provoked, it was likely that even their Su Family would be dragged into it!


    Only Su Xue''er, who was standing on the other side, had an excited look on her face as she stared at Ye Chen. It was unknown what the little girl was thinking about.


    However, she had absolute trust in the youth in front of her from the bottom of her heart.


    "Hahaha, you must die? "Alright, today I want to hear how exactly you want me to die!"


    "If you can''t explain yourself today, I, Lin Yutian, promise that I won''t let you leave this place in one piece!"


    The Lin Family members could be said to be rolling back and forth in laughter. Even the bodyguards dressed in black could not help but laugh.


    Lin Yutian''s overbearing roar directly shook the entire arena.


    From the looks of it, the Lin Family would not let this young man off no matter what. Even if they had the help of the Su Family, it would be useless.


    "From the looks of it, your body is swollen, your complexion is dull, your jaw is white, your forehead is black and red, the blood energy in your body has been unstable for a long time, and your lower body is unstable and lacking in spirit energy, probably due to excessive indulgence. "The way you are now has long since become dark and weak, causing your body to suffer from many years of hidden ailments ¡­"


    "And this Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus, or even that cold thing. Not to mention you turning it into a snow lotus soup, even if you were to keep it by your side, the cold energy would still be enough to kill you!"


    Ye Chen was quite confident after he finished his sentence, and he analyzed everything very well.


    In particular, that faintly discernible overpowering majesty and domineering aura seemed to possess an invisible magic that seeped into the hearts of everyone present.


    "Nonsense! You... "You actually investigated ¡­"


    The elation on Lin Yutian''s face suddenly froze. It turned out that it was an unconcealable rage.


    How could he allow such a junior to speak nonsense in his private matters!


    "Lin is not always a migraine victim. Every rainy day, he will suffer from severe vertigo, swelling and pain in his liver and kidneys, and he won''t be able to find anything abnormal when he goes to the hospital."


    "You!"


    Right after Ye Chen had finished speaking, that Director Lin''s face had completely froze.


    This time, it was no longer the fury from before. Instead, it had turned into shock that came from the bottom of his heart. He was completely dumbstruck on the spot.


    Because from the beginning to the end, Ye Chen''s words were exactly the same! These hidden ailments had tormented him for nearly ten years, and he was in so much pain that he wished he were dead.


    Even the dizziness that Ye Chen had never mentioned to anyone was hit right by Ye Chen''s words.


    "Boss Lin, do you want us to find the people from the auction house and kick this brat out?"


    Behind Lin Yutian, a bodyguard began asking for instructions.


    And the audience, because of this young man''s farce, began to refute him with sighs. From what Boss Lin had said just now, this young man was only trying to show off and was trying to gain something from his words.


    The hot lady in Boss Lin''s arms also took the opportunity to fan the flames. When Ye Chen mentioned Boss Lin''s overindulgence, he had already pissed her off.


    "Boss Lin, that brat insulted you like that, we ¡­"


    "Shut up!" Get lost! "


    Lin Yutian''s sudden outburst caused the Lin Family to be at a loss of what to do.


    At this moment, the atmosphere changed subtly once again.


    This was because the overweeningly arrogant Boss Lin in their eyes had actually weakened his tone this time!


    "Large... Master, as long as you are willing to save me, this matter will be treated as an offense! "


    "What!?" "This!"


    Lin Yutian lowered his head as he went back and forth. Everyone was stunned, even Su Peng, who was leaning on Ye Chen, started to look at the teenager beside him as if he was a monster!


    Since when did this unknown young man''s medical skills reach such an extreme?!


    This level, not to mention an average hospital doctor, even an extremely famous medical master would not be able to match up to this level.


    "Master Ye, I didn''t expect you to be so proficient in medicine. I have offended you."


    Su Peng slightly bowed to Ye Chen, apologizing for his reckless actions just now.


    However, at this moment, there was a complex expression on his face. When he looked at the youth again, he did not dare to have any more doubts or disagreement.


    There was even a faint premonition at the bottom of his heart that the Su Clan would once again dominate a region because of this youth''s help!


    "Ye Chen, don''t save that fat guy, he was just cursing you just now."


    Su Xue''er was so angry that her mouth was agape, as she was trying to fight for Ye Chen.


    "Save him? "I, Ye Chen, do not have any thoughts about living under the heavens. The life or death of this kind of person has nothing to do with me."


    Ye Chen stroked the black hair on her forehead lovingly, those ice-cold words floated towards the whole hall.


    Although the teenager had the power to save the guy in front of him, Ye Chen was just like he had said. Although he was full of righteousness, he would never have the kind intention to show kindness to others.


    However, when these words entered the ears of others, their expressions would change.


    Most of the people in the audience started to sigh at Ye Chen''s arrogance.


    No matter how capable this young man was, even if he was able to see through the illness on Boss Lin''s body, there would not be many people who were able to reach such a level in this Yan Jing city with such arrogance.


    "This kid can''t be a swindler, right? are you talking nonsense here? "


    "As I see it, you''re just playing it right, aren''t you?"


    "Now that someone asked him to help, he was afraid that he would be exposed. In the end, he still didn''t dare to show himself?"


    The discussion and mockery in the audience finally grew in volume once again.


    And the bodyguard in black, who had been scolded by Lin Yutian earlier, was also staring at Ye Chen with an angry look, as if he was trying to show off with his eyes.


    The corners of his mouth curled up lightly as his face was filled with ridicule.


    "Boss Lin, look, this brat is ¡­"


    "Everyone shut your mouth. If anyone dares to disrespect Master Ye again, I, Lin Yutian, will be the first to not let him off!"


    Lin Yutian''s face was ashen. His voice was filled with authority, confirming the young man''s words once again. This time, he dared not to not believe Ye Chen, and he dared not to offend him.


    "As long as Grandmaster is willing to make a move, I, Lin Dong, am willing to give up everything that I obtained in the previous auction!"

 C26

    Ye Chen''s appearance had completely reversed the outcome of the auction. He had also successfully gotten the stone he wanted and the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus.


    With his cultivation base at the peak of the Early Second Sky of Mortal Realm, it would not be too troublesome to solve Old Man Su''s illness.


    And what Ye Chen did also let the Su Family fully realize the young man''s terrifying potential and mysterious origin.


    The entire Su Family was even more respectful to Ye Chen than they were to Old Man Su.


    Because, everyone knew how shocking a person who could make Old Man Su call him grandmaster, who could make Su Peng be respectful to him, was. Offending such a huge character in the Su family was no different from offending someone who was impatient to live.


    After a short period of recuperation, Ye Chen politely refused the Su Family''s invitation to stay. After the break, he went back to school.


    There was still about a month before the College Entrance Test. The atmosphere within Yan Jing High School also started to become a little tense.


    Inside the classroom, everyone was busy writing, trying to change the topic as fast as they could. The classroom was filled with the sound of "Sha sha sha", of course, it did not include Zheng Yu, the rich young masters of Han City, but it also included Ye Chen''s best friend, the fat man.


    "I say, Brother Ye, it''s almost May, aren''t you going to think about it and take a look at the math physics textbook or something?"


    The fat man had a bitter look on his face. He was working hard right now, but Ye Chen was so free that he was like a person who was eating melon. He borrowed some medical books from the library and flipped through them quickly.


    It was not that Ye Chen was putting on an act, it was just that the current him, with this Immortal Cultivator''s brain, would not be able to read these books.


    "Pretend, kid, continue pretending. I don''t believe that a little hooligan like you who doesn''t know anything can take the exam."


    A sarcastic female voice came over at the same time. Wang Ziyi, who was sitting in the hallway, had put down her neutral pen. She curled her lips and stared at Ye Chen with a look of disdain, as if she was a shrew.


    Wang Ziyi had always kept Ye Chen''s revenge in mind. Of course, not only him, there were also the rest of the people who had been waiting all this time, not letting go of any opportunity to attack Ye Chen.


    "What am I, Ye Chen, doing? What does it have to do with you?" If you dare to bark again, I don''t mind taking care of this mad dog of yours! "


    "You!"


    Ye Chen''s cold words directly made Wang Ziyi''s face turn pale.


    Recalling the shocking strength of the youth from before, not just him, but even in this class, no one dared to go up and take a beating.


    "It''s only been a few days since we last met, you sure have become more crazy, huh?" Do you really think that you can rely on women to survive like in the past? "


    At the entrance of the classroom, Han City, who had swaggered into the classroom, mocked Li Yao.


    He had been out for a few days and did not participate in the school graduation party. However, ever since he heard about Ye Chen''s amazing performance at the martial arts school and his great luck at the party, he could only gnash his teeth in hatred.


    One must know that before his brother Chen Han went out to study, the mission he gave Ye Chen was to kick him out of Beijing High School.


    "Some people shouldn''t think that they can show off their strength just because they have some ability. With your level, our Zheng Family can find any number of people who can beat you!"


    The Zheng Family''s Eldest Young Master, Zheng Yu, had also found the right time and hadn''t forgotten to come over and take a few blows.


    As for Wang Gang, Zhao Chengwei, and the others, they were ready to make a move.


    One of them had been taught a lesson by his father, while the other had lost five hundred thousand.


    Facing Ye Chen in front of him, how could he not be angry?


    "Tsk tsk tsk, Ying Ying, it seems that your eyes aren''t that good. How come you have taken a fancy to such a troublemaker?"


    She had noticed Zhao Mengsi early on. While she nibbled on her snacks, she teased Liu Ying Ying, who was also somewhat worried.


    Han Cheng and Zheng Yu''s statuses and statuses were way higher than Ye Chen''s right now.


    After all, no matter how powerful Ye Chen was, he was only by himself.


    "What is it? You still don''t dare to reply? You became a coward so quickly? "


    Seeing Ye Chen ignore him, not even raising his head, as if no one was looking at him, Zheng Yu would not let him go.


    This brat dared to snatch his goddess, Liu Yingying, then he would become an irreconcilable enemy.


    "You guys are annoying, don''t you see that my Brother Ye doesn''t want to care about you?"


    Fatty stared angrily at the hooting Zheng Yu, but his imposing manner didn''t back down in the slightest.


    However, the rest of the class were not optimistic about Ye Chen and Xia Xinyan.


    He had no background at all. He was just a commoner who came from the countryside and knew nothing about himself. To dare to offend these rich and powerful young masters, that was the same as courting his own death.


    No matter how powerful he is, how can he trip another clan?


    "In my opinion, not only does he only know how to rely on a woman''s gigolo, he''s also a weakling that only knows how to bully the weak and fear the strong!"


    Seeing someone standing up for her, Wang Ziyi''s expression immediately changed as she mocked in a cold voice.


    "Exactly, why are you scared today?"


    "Trash!"


    "..."


    The group of people immediately started to echo each other. In an instant, Ye Chen, who had jumped up to become the focus of high school a few days ago, had become the target of everyone.


    Especially the two leaders, Zheng Yu and Han Cheng.


    "Ding ding ding!"


    The rapid and sharp bell for self-study interrupted the crowd''s ridicule. The person who was looking at the medical book in his hand indifferently closed the book with a "pa" sound.


    The youth had an extremely cold and gloomy expression. His pitch-black and deep eyes abruptly raised as he indifferently glanced at Zheng Yu and the others.


    It was this very raise of his head that caused Zheng Yu, who was just about to mock him, to feel a chill run down his spine.


    This kind of invisible sharp aura was terrifying even with just a glance.


    "Brother Ye, they ¡­"


    "Have you guys said enough?"


    Ye Chen waved his hand, signaling Little Fatty to sit down first.


    It was not that Ye Chen did not dare to take care of these people who were acting arrogantly in front of him. It was just that he did not need to take care of them.


    Who knew what kind of capable people would die at the hands of him, Immortal Emperor Ye, in a different world, let alone these few?


    "What, don''t tell me you still want to ¡­"


    "A good dog doesn''t block the road. If you''ve said enough, then scram!"


    Ye Chen slowly stood up. That ice-cold voice of his made Zheng Yu, who had already mustered the courage to speak, swallow his words once again.


    Seeing Ye Chen fight back so aggressively, it made the people around him even more silent.


    If he had not known that Ye Chen could fight, he would have already attacked Han Cheng, who was so angry that his face had turned green.


    "Humph!" What''s the point of talking, what''s the point of being able to fight, don''t you like to bet? Do you have the guts to make a bet with me, Wang Ziyi? "


    Wang Ziyi suddenly had a flash of brilliance. Under that sinister smile, she seemed to be planning something ¡­

 C27

    "Oh? Bet, what else do you want to bet? If you still want to find someone to fight me one on one, let me advise you guys. You should attack together, since I do not have that much free time on my hands. "


    Ye Chen lightly replied to this shrewish Wang Ziyi.


    He did not have the slightest good impression of Duanmu Lei''s overbearing infatuation.


    "The third year of senior high is about to begin. Would you like to bet on your ranking? Weren''t you very arrogant just now, flipping through books? "


    Wang Ziyi had her hands on her hips as she stood behind Zhao Chengwei and the others, ridiculing them with cold words.


    These words made everyone burst out in laughter.


    "The bet is simple. If I win, you have to kneel down and apologize to Duanmu Lei. Then, scram!"


    Wang Ziyi was full of confidence, as if she had already won when she said those words.


    And that was the truth. When she said those words, all the onlookers looked at Ye Chen with a weird look in their eyes.


    One had to know that although Wang Ziyi was a bit crazy and unreasonable, the gap between the two of them in terms of their grades was not small at all.


    This time, if Ye Chen agreed, then ¡­


    "Aren''t you trying to force him to do this? My Brother Ye has even suspended school because of his family matters. How can his results be compared ¡­"


    Fatty was filled with righteous indignation. He was truly infuriated with these thugs.


    "With just you? I don''t want anyone to say that I''m bullying a woman like you. Not to mention you, as long as there''s someone in this class who has surpassed me, I will lose this time! "


    "But if you lose, get lost!"


    Ye Chen was still as calm as before, but the words he had just said had shocked everyone.


    Ye Chen''s grade was only below average for his class before, and with the suspension, it had dropped even further.


    Compared to Wang Ziyi, who was firmly in the top 20, there was not even a shred of hope. Not to mention the fact that she had magnified her words to the entire class!


    Zhao Menghan, who was munching on her snacks, choked from the shock. She drank some water while pulling on Liu Yingying, who was beside her.


    "Ying Ying, this Ye Chen is crazy, right? Doesn''t he know that you are still in the top five of the whole school, let alone the whole class?!" If you don''t want it, go easy? "


    "What water? Can I get Wang Ziyi and the others to go easy on him? "


    Liu Yingying curled her lips helplessly and pinched the flesh on Zhao Mengsi''s waist. A look of worry and disappointment flashed across her eyes as she looked towards Ye Chen''s direction.


    No matter how much she thought highly of this youth, she would never believe that such a scum would have the ability to make a comeback within a day.


    As for the rest of the people in the class, there was no need to mention that. A lot of sneers and taunts had already drowned out Ye Chen and Xia Xinyan.


    "Hahaha, good, at least you have courage. This time I want to see how you can still turn the sky upside down!"


    Zheng Yu was gloating there. He was so happy that he seemed to have been taken in by a million.


    As for the few people from Han City, they coldly glanced at Ye Chen. His goal was to get rid of this kid after all. As for who did it and how they did it, it did not matter.


    "Ye Chen, it''s a deal. I hope you can keep your promise!"


    Wang Ziyi looked as if her evil scheme had succeeded as she instantly floated into the sky.


    Getting rid of Ye Chen, that was like getting rid of a huge problem for him.


    "Brother Ye, how can you agree!" "Sigh ¡­"


    The fat guy patted Ye Chen''s back, and sighed.


    He was extremely clear about his brother''s ability to learn.


    If they really compared their points, with a total of 750 points, it wouldn''t be surprising for Wang Ziyi to leave him behind by 200 or 200 points.


    "And you know the tricks Wang Gang and the others have up their sleeves. If they think of something to do, then don''t even think of passing the exam!"


    The fatty continued to remind him. However, it was already too late for him to say anything.


    Only Ye Chen, who was still sitting calmly, looked calm. It was as if he was not the one who should be worrying at all, but Wang Ziyi and a few other people.


    "You''re being a bit too arrogant this time. Although Wang Ziyi and the others are a bit repulsive, their results are still quite good."


    Just when Zheng Yu and the others had calmed down, Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng Si came over.


    In any case, this Ye Chen had saved her father before, so Liu Yingying could not just ignore him.


    "My Ying Ying won''t be able to help you when you''re chased out."


    Zhao Meng had a teasing look on her face. For Ye Chen in front of her, up until now, she had still maintained this kind of attitude.


    "No worries, it''s just an exam."


    Ye Chen waved his hand indifferently, interrupting Liu Yingying''s train of thoughts.


    This made Zhao Mengsi taunt Ye Chen even more. As for Liu Yingying, her expression couldn''t help but sink.


    He did not know if he should say that Ye Chen had the courage of a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, or if he was just blindly confident.


    "Humph!" Is this kind of person really worth your concern? "


    When Zheng Yu, who was originally prepared to leave, saw his goddess take the initiative to leave, the anger in his heart suddenly flared.


    When he looked at Ye Chen again, his eyes were filled with even more murderous intent.


    No matter what, he, the young master of the Zheng Family, would not let this kid off so easily.


    Under all kinds of gazes and suspicions, Ye Chen left Beijing High School as usual. Ever since he got the Yu Yuan Pavilion to stay in this place, he had never stayed in school again.


    After cleaning up simply, he quietly sat cross-legged on the bed, calming his daytime thoughts. His eyes unknowingly landed on the incomparably rough piece of jade beside his hand.


    This jagged, unkempt jade that seemed to have been eroded by time did not look good at all. It was exactly the one that he had taken a fancy to at the Mingde auction earlier, and had taken it from Lin Yutian for free.


    "Rise!"


    Ye Chen suddenly turned his hand, and a huge stream of zhen qi instantly flew towards that unpolished jade.


    The formless Zhen Qi transformed into countless fine needles in the air, and ferociously hit the surface of the unpolished jade with a whistling sound.


    Every time he polished it, the potholes on the surface would be cracked and the cracks would continuously spread out.


    "Hua Hua!"


    Following a clear and melodious shattering sound, that light purple jade that was not even the size of a fist finally appeared before the youth.


    "The Violet-Gold Origin Stone is indeed a good item, it''s just a little small ¡­"


    Ye Chen smiled to himself. Feeling the pure energy from the jade, he could not help but nod in satisfaction.


    With this energy, he could quickly break through the early stage of Mortal Realm Stage 2 and reach the middle stage of the Second Sky. As for his own strength, it would once again rise to another level.


    "After absorbing the Purple Gold Essence, the quality of this jade should be able to refine a simple spirit artifact. It just so happens that I have a weakness in hand."


    While he was calculating, Ye Chen soon entered the training mode. As his zhen qi accompanied the Tai Yi Primal Chaos Formula''s Circulation Technique, he was also getting closer and closer to the Early Mortal Realm Stage 2 bottleneck.

 C28

    The next morning, when the youth once again opened his eyes, the true energy circulating within his body had once again become a little denser.


    Within his pitch-black pupils, lightning faintly pulsed. At times, it would also occasionally appear and disappear.


    This time, Ye Chen finally broke through the Early Mortal Realm Stage 2 and stepped into the middle stage. However, the Supreme Qi Primal Chaos Formula had only improved a little on the first movement.


    After all, the cultivation of this ancient technique was definitely not as simple as just raising one''s cultivation level. But even so, the improvement of this technique was not the least bit beneficial to a person''s body.


    "This Violet-Gold Origin Stone is indeed quite effective. If there''s a chance, I''ll have to go and find more."


    Ye Chen looked at the light purple jade stone in his hand that had completely disappeared and returned to its normal appearance, and couldn''t help but sigh.


    Only, the chances of encountering this sort of Origin Stone were simply too small. It was merely a hope that could not be sought.


    Just as the youth was about to stand up, the familiar ringtone for a text message rang. Looking at the message, Ye Chen was quite surprised.


    He had previously said that he would visit Mayor Liu''s house at some time, but he didn''t expect that the one who invited him would be his daughter, Liu Ying Ying.


    "Alright, time to go out for some activities."


    After packing up, Ye Chen went out and took a taxi, heading towards the location indicated by Liu Ying Ying.


    The place that Liu Yingying lived wasn''t a bustling area in the center of the city. Instead, it was within a group of villas in the outskirts of the western city.


    The area was neither large nor bustling, but it was a quiet and secluded place suitable for resting.


    Just as Ye Chen got off the car at the entrance of a luxurious yard, the girl in front of him walked up to him.


    Today, Liu Ying Ying was dressed like a lady as usual. She wore a tight white cartoon T-shirt that matched up to her knee-length denim shorts, giving her a youthful and lively look.


    However, her delicate and exquisite oval face coupled with a pair of slender jade legs always made people feel a bit hot.


    "You''re here? My dad isn''t home today, so I''m the only one who''s coming to pick you up. "


    Liu Ying Ying smiled sweetly. The sunshine was cute. However, when the girl thought about Ye Chen''s bet at school, she could not help but feel a bit worried.


    "It doesn''t matter. Lead the way, I''ll go see what caused Mayor Liu''s murderous aura."


    Ye Chen casually waved his hand, it did not matter to him who came to pick him up.


    His purpose here was to fulfill his previous promise, and he had no other intentions.


    As soon as he entered the yard, Ye Chen realized that this villa was not considered small at all. It was a little lonely here. Other than the guard at the door and Liu Ying Ying Ying, there was no one else in sight.


    "My dad likes peace and quiet. There aren''t many people around here. He usually goes on business, so I only have Aunt Tang to take care of me. Aunt Tang just went out."


    As if she had guessed what Ye Chen was thinking, the girl who was leading the way started to explain.


    However, before he could get far, Ye Chen stopped. He reached out his hand to hold the girl''s delicate, boneless hand. His originally calm face had also turned a little bit darker.


    "What''s wrong? Is there something wrong? Suddenly, you don''t want to leave anymore? "


    Being pulled like this by Ye Chen, the girl''s face could not help but turn a little red. The feeling of being electrocuted made her a little excited.


    He did not turn his hand away, but asked shyly in a low voice.


    "I don''t have anything to do, but I have a problem coming my way."


    Ye Chen gave a faint smile. Before he finished his sentence, he heard a familiar yet annoying shout from a rich family from behind him.


    "Ye Chen, what a coincidence, I didn''t think someone like you would be qualified to be here."


    Not far from Ye Chen and his group, a luxurious black Bentley 835 slowly stopped. The sneering coming out of the open window could be heard from far away.


    Just as the car stopped, the two bodyguards in black hurriedly got off and personally opened the car door for their young master, respectfully welcoming the person inside.


    "Zheng Yu!" Why are you here? How did you get in! "


    Liu Yingying''s originally pinkish face immediately turned cold. She immediately turned around and coldly berated the young master of the Zheng Family.


    This person had been entangled with him at school, and he had been rejected multiple times by him.


    But who would have thought that this guy would continue to be haunted and pester her with all sorts of harassment. Naturally, Liu Ying Ying wouldn''t have the slightest bit of good impression and courtesy towards this kind of person.


    "What is it? If this kid can come in, can''t I, Zheng Yu, come in? "


    "Could it be that the dignified young master of the Zheng Clan can''t compare to this nameless kid?"


    Zheng Yu walked forward slowly, not even bothering to look at Ye Chen.


    However, when he noticed the hand of his goddess being held by Ye Chen, the anger in his heart grew even more.


    He clenched his fists slowly. He was so angry at the boy who was so close to his goddess.


    "If you don''t get out, I''ll call the security!"


    Liu Ying Ying didn''t want to get entangled with these kinds of people. She looked at the two black clothed bodyguards as they walked over and warned them coldly.


    She, who had yet to experience the world, could not help but feel a bit of panic and fear in her heart at this moment.


    Beads of sweat began to seep out from his fair forehead.


    "Security? I''ve already settled the matter. Since the mayor isn''t here today, your servant should have already left to take care of you. Do you still want to call me that? No one can help you even if you scream yourself hoarse! "


    Zheng Yu lowered his head and looked at the goddess of ice in front of him with a face full of amusement.


    For this day, he had naturally made ample preparations and thoroughly investigated Liu Yingying''s situation.


    "But don''t worry, I just want to invite you out for a ride. It''s just that the way I use it is a bit special."


    Zheng Yu said indifferently while gesturing for the two bodyguards in black beside him to approach Liu Yingying.


    From the looks of it, he wanted to snatch her away by force.


    As for this rich and noble young master''s romantic actions, all sorts of rumours were made that were already known to everyone.


    She was just taking a ride with such a beauty. If she really believed it, then she really would have seen a ghost.


    "Bastard!" My dad won''t let you off if we find out about this! "


    Thinking about those vulgar actions, Liu Ying Ying Ying was so angry that her neck turned red.


    These people were just wolves in sheep''s clothing. They would do anything to satisfy their selfish desires!


    "Hahaha, Mayor Liu? Let''s wait for him to come back before we start talking again. But by then, I''m afraid it''s time for the cooked rice to be cooked, right? "Besides, this place is close to the suburbs, and there aren''t many people here anyway. What did I do to you? Who has any evidence that I did it?"


    Zheng Yu smiled evilly as he moved closer and closer to Liu Yingying ¡­

 C29

    Seeing that the other party had completely ignored him, Ye Chen was not surprised at all.


    Regardless of whether it was Liu Yingying or Zheng Yu, as a third year student, compared to the two professional bodyguards with daggers on their waists, he was nothing.


    After all, the difference in strength between the two parties wasn''t negligible.


    "You!"


    Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, her evil and vulgar gaze kept wandering over her thighs and body parts. Liu Yingying, on the other hand, was filled with shame and anger, as well as extreme fear.


    Within the watery large eyes, a few bits of sparkling and translucent aura began to revolve.


    If this were to continue, it was obvious what would happen.


    Just as the girl was about to say something, Ye Chen, who had been silent all this while, raised his foot and blocked her from the back.


    Suddenly leaning on the back of this youth, who was still a stranger to her a while ago, Liu Ying Ying felt an indescribable sense of security.


    It was as if, as long as he stood behind Ye Chen, all the trouble would be solved.


    "Ye Chen, they are armed, and ¡­"


    Liu Yingying was still worried and she weakly warned Ye Chen. However, Ye Chen''s response to the people in front of him was only a simple word!


    "Scram!"


    Ye Chen''s emotionless face was still the same as before, it did not seem to be affected at all.


    However, the dense, cold Qi contained within them caused the three people in front of them to feel a chill down their spines.


    However, with two professional bodyguards as his backup, the current Zheng Yu could be said to have expanded to the limit.


    No matter how powerful and powerful Ye Chen was, could he even be a match for two armed guards?


    "Hehe, get lost? What qualifications do you have? Today, I will let you see who exactly it is that will be the one to scram! "


    "Attack! There''s no need to be courteous to this brat!"


    Zheng Yu''s expression became serious. The anger that raged in his heart had long since suppressed the last bit of rationality that remained.


    No matter what he did in a place like this today, it was impossible to prove anything.


    "Is that so? "Then you better not regret it!"


    Ye Chen''s face also darkened, a hint of killing intent flashed across his eyes.


    He was similarly not polite to scum like him.


    Facing the two bodyguards in black who were rushing towards him at the same time, Ye Chen did not even bother to look at them.


    To the others, these two were definitely tricky existences. They had the professional training and strong physical attributes, as well as rich fighting experience and techniques.


    Unfortunately, the one they were facing was Ye Chen!


    In front of the absolute strength of an immortal cultivator, the so-called skills, experience, and professional bodyguards, these were all trash!


    The zhenqi in his body gushed out as he bent his body backwards and exerted strength in his right leg. His entire body dived forward as if he was jumping.


    That instantaneous explosion of aura directly crushed the two people in front of them!


    "What!"


    "Crack crack!"


    With the sound of bones breaking, the two black shadows flew out like kites with their strings cut.


    With a loud crash, it scraped a few meters on the floor before slowly coming to a stop.


    The two bodyguards didn''t even have time to pull out their daggers or punch before they were firmly held down by the young man''s hands.


    He casually threw it in front of him. The two men, who weighed a total of one hundred and eighty kilograms, were thrown out ten meters like they were trash!


    How was this a fight? It was simply an instant kill!


    "You! How could you! "


    This time, it was not only Zheng Yu who was in front of Ye Chen. Even Liu Ying Ying who was standing behind Ye Chen and did not dare to open her eyes was completely shocked.


    He opened his small mouth in shock, and his heart was unable to calm down for a long time.


    "Me? What about me? I''m sorry, their attacks were a little too gentle. It seems like they still have some breath left in them. "


    Ye Chen casually clapped his hands, and walked step by step towards Zheng Yu.


    However, the current Ye Chen, who looked like he was only 1.7m tall, looked like the god of death in Zheng Yu''s eyes!


    Zheng Yu was scared to the point that his face went blank and his teeth chattered. Even his legs started to tremble.


    Facing Ye Chen, he had a fear that came from the depths of his soul, the fear of death!


    "However, you won''t be as lucky as them!"


    Ye Chen said as calmly as before. On the other side, he raised his hand and threw a slap right at Zheng Yu''s face.


    "Pah!"


    The clear sound of the slap came from far away, and Ye Chen did not hold back. A red palm mark that was almost bleeding appeared on Zheng Yu''s right cheek.


    His cheek even started to swell bit by bit.


    "You!"


    The excruciating pain caused Zheng Yu, the arrogant young master who cared about his reputation, to be forcefully pulled back from his earlier fear.


    What Ye Chen did was undoubtedly more humiliating than killing him.


    Since when had he, the dignified young master of the Zheng Family, fallen into such dire straits? It was even the turn of a nameless junior to give him a slap!


    For a moment, anger once again filled his heart, and his eyes slowly turned blood-red.


    No matter what, he would not let Ye Chen who was in front of him go!


    "If you dare to hit me, our Zheng Family won''t ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    "I am the young master of the Zheng Family ¡­"


    "Pah!" "Pah!"


    "I ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    After the last hit, Ye Chen increased his strength by a little bit, and this slap was able to send Zheng Yu spinning around like a spinning top.


    After swaying for a while, the sky and earth began to spin as he staggered and sat down on the ground.


    At this moment, Zheng Yu, the Zheng Family''s young master who was previously showing off his strength, was no longer as arrogant as before!


    Both cheeks were swollen, nose and face were bloody, and his body was battered and exhausted.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he was decently dressed, perhaps no one would recognize him. This was the Zheng Yu from before.


    "What is it? Didn''t you just say that there''s no evidence for us to do anything near the suburbs? Now that I''ve beaten you to the point where you only have half your life left before being thrown into the West Lake to feed the fishes, no one will know right? "


    Ye Chen looked at Zheng Yu who looked like a dead dog, as he teased him.


    In the eyes of this young man, a dog who thought highly of himself and relied on his power to bully others was just a dog that was not worth dying for.


    "NO!" No, no! "Ye Chen, no, Master Ye, I was wrong, I, Zheng Yu, kowtowed to you!"


    Zheng Yu did not dare to resist at all.


    Right now, he had no doubt that Ye Chen would really throw him into the lake to feed the fishes.


    Even if someone found out, he would have lost his life.


    He was like a chick pecking rice, kowtowing as he called out Master Ye.


    Ye Chen, who had already turned around, did not even bother to look at these lackeys. For these dead dogs, he had already lost the idea of teaching them a lesson.


    "Scram. If you let me meet you again, it would be best for you to bring your coffin to me!"

 C30

    In the top VIP ward of Beijing Central Hospital, there was a man with a face covered in white gauze who was constantly moaning in pain. Even the nurses who had applied the medicine on him were scared to the point that they didn''t dare to do anything.


    "What medicine did you use!?" It''s so painful, but it''s useless! "


    Zheng Yu, whose face was covered like a mummy, scolded angrily, as if the doctors and nurses in front of him were all his own servants.


    "It will indeed hurt. You need to endure it for now, it will be better later on ¡­"


    The nurse was obviously frightened and quickly apologized while explaining.


    "Good? What the f * * k! "Scram for this young master!"


    Just as Zheng Yu shouted out, he felt another wound on his face crack open, causing him to wail in pain.


    However, the flames of fury in his heart were erupting like a volcano.


    If it were not for Ye Chen, that poor kid from the countryside who had no background and had nothing at all, how could he, Zheng Yu, have ended up like this?


    "Yu''er, who beat you up like this? Even those bodyguards were taken care of, how many people did the other party bring? "


    At this moment, Zheng Hancheng, who had rushed in from outside the ward, frowned and asked with a dark expression.


    His group was one of the top companies in Yan Jing, and the Zheng Family had nearly ten billion in assets. They were considered among the top second-rate powers.


    Since when did they, the dignified young master of the Zheng Clan, have to be taught a lesson by an outsider?


    "That brat didn''t bring anyone with him, he only took care of two professional bodyguards."


    Zheng Yu had a bitter face. Although he was extremely unwilling to bring up that matter, he naturally didn''t dare to lie in front of his father.


    "What, you didn''t bring anyone?" The two bodyguards beside you were hired by me at a high price from a private company. They used to be people that the army had messed with before, it''s not a problem to teach some delinquents a lesson, could it be that he''s carrying a gun? "


    Zheng Hancheng''s face was extremely gloomy. If it was really like this, then it meant that the other party''s background was not simple. Perhaps he even had some connections with that side. Dealing with him would naturally not be that simple.


    However, Zheng Yu''s following reply caused the calm and composed old man, who had been running the shopping mall for decades, to freeze on the spot!


    If his son didn''t say it himself, he would never believe it!


    "No, he''s alone, and he''s empty-handed!"


    "..."


    As for Ye Chen, he naturally would not think about what would happen to Zheng Yu, who had been driven away like a dead dog.


    After easily solving a little problem at Liu Yingying''s house, Ye Chen chose to go home.


    Of course, this time, it was not like he did not have any gains, because he had managed to absorb more Yin Energy from Liu Qingshan''s house. Although it was not as effective as the Purple Gold Essence Stone, it was still extremely beneficial for the stability of a Mid Mortal Realm Stage Two Mortal Realm.


    Three days later, when Ye Chen came to Beijing High School again, the atmosphere in the whole school was even more lively than before.


    Ye Chen had just reached the entrance of his senior year''s high school when he saw that the entrance of the classroom, which was not very wide at all, was completely blocked by the crowd.


    This level of liveliness reminded Ye Chen of the scene when Duanmu Lei came back.


    But this'' God Duanmu ''was clearly in the third year of high school next door. Why would these people come and block his classroom door ¡­?


    "Brother Ye, you finally came. I''ve waited so hard for you!"


    Just when Ye Chen was surprised, he heard the sound of the fat guy panting from behind him. It seemed as if he had just sprinted a hundred meters forward.


    "Fatty, are you being chased by a mad dog?" What''s going on in this class? "


    "F * ck, Brother Ye, I''m afraid you''re the only one that can stay calm. For you, the school is going to overturn!"


    The fat man explained while patting Ye Chen on the back.


    "At 9 o''clock this morning, the administrative system will announce the results of our previous exam. At that time, your bet will be redeemed!"


    "Brother Ye, I''m not talking about you. You''d be in trouble if you boasted like that!" Let''s leave while they still haven''t noticed you. We''ll hide for a while, maybe everyone will forget about you in a few days. "


    Fatty had a pained expression on his face. This time, the results of the mock exam was out, this brother of his was definitely done for.


    With that class monitor Wang Ziyi''s overbearing personality, she would not be able to make Ye Chen lose his reputation. It would be weird if he could cause a ruckus in Beijing High School.


    And, in the end, he had to chase Ye Chen out.


    "Oh, so it was the results that were announced today. I nearly forgot about this matter."


    The young man looked disapproving and indifferent, as if nothing had happened.


    It had to be said that Yan Jing high school was worthy of being called the city''s aristocrat high school. The efficiency of changing the papers was indeed high.


    "Forgot? Brother Ye, this is a big matter! "We should first ¡­"


    "What do you want to do first? Do you want to slip away today? "I remember that someone was full of confidence back then?"


    Before the fatty could even finish reminding him, he was interrupted by a sarcastic taunt.


    In this class, only Wang Ziyi, the class monitor, could have such a shrewish female voice.


    As soon as she said that, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her. All of a sudden, Ye Chen had become the focus of everyone in the hall. The people on the outside surrounded Ye Chen in the corridor that was less than two meters wide, making it so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.


    "Yeah, Ye Chen, weren''t you so cocky back then? What happened today? Did you give in?"


    "Hahaha, that''s right, didn''t you say your pen was broken? You''re still betting on the entire class? I reckon that you won''t even be able to surpass me? "


    Wang Gang gestured with his middle finger, the fat on his face shaking as he laughed.


    Cai Chengjian, who looked like a monkey, revealed his teeth and agreed.


    Although Ye Chen and the two of them did not have as much hatred as Zheng Yu and Han Cheng, they were still prepared to watch this country bumpkin show.


    This time, it was destined that he would give Ye Chen a big slap on the face!


    "Ye Chen, as a real man, you have to keep your promises. Remember, I gave you that five hundred thousand last time as a gift. Don''t you dare win it, you can''t afford to lose it!"


    Zhao Jingwei taunted.


    There was a sense of superiority in his words, as if the five hundred thousand was not his loss, but his alms to Ye Chen.

 C31

    Without a doubt, Zhao Jingwei''s words had become a huge bomb that ignited public opinion.


    Ye Chen had made a name for himself in school a few days ago, and he was now a well-known star.


    It could be said that this youth''s fame within this school was not the least bit inferior to Duanmu Lei''s. This two-fingered broken sword was a heaven-defying existence that carried a beauty in its embrace, causing a few people to be even more jealous to the point of their eyes turning red.


    "So the Ye Chen from the rumors is only so. He is just a loser who can''t afford to lose!"


    "That''s right. I was lucky enough to come over from the class next door to watch the show. Looks like it was a wasted trip. What''s so good about this kind of person ¡­"


    "He only knows how to boast, and even said that he will surpass everyone in Class Two!" From the looks of it, even Wang Ziyi would not be able to pass! "


    The mocking voices from the surroundings continued, one after another.


    The heroic image that Ye Chen had left in everyone''s mind a few days ago instantly disappeared.


    Even those who had always had this kind of favorable and neutral attitude towards this teenager could not help but shake their heads in disappointment. This was because a villain like Ye Chen had already made them unable to have any good feelings towards him.


    "Ying Ying, I told you that you must have seen the wrong person. This Ye Chen, he ran off the train with his mouth full of talk. He''s not doing well anymore, he can''t hold on any longer."


    Zhao Mengsi glanced at Ye Chen in disdain, while chewing on her potato chips and complaining to Liu Ying Ying.


    From the day when Ye Chen boasted all that he could, she had already predicted that he would end up like this.


    Wang Ziyi and the few people from the Han city were not easy to deal with. This opportunity, of course, was to give Ye Chen a good beating.


    On the other hand, Ye Chen had no background and no power. It would be weird if he could fight against all these people.


    "Say less. Give me some ideas. I don''t know how to help him. Sigh ¡­"


    Liu Ying Ying''s pretty face was filled with worry.


    She blinked her watery eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking about.


    But even if she cracked her brains, she could not think of any way to help Ye Chen.


    "Are you sure you want to help him? I feel that there is no saving him, this Ye Chen is asking for it. "Look at his feigned calmness."


    Zhao Mengsi chewed on a potato chip on her finger, then pointed at Ye Chen, who was still as calm as water. She could not help but start speculating.


    She did not mean any harm to Ye Chen, as she did not really think much of him. She was just joking around.


    However, in the eyes of others, this action of the youth was just an act.


    "Is there really no other way? How about I look for my dad? "


    Liu Ying Ying reluctantly looked away and said with some hesitation.


    The amazing move Ye Chen made last time in front of her, along with his own power helping his father to resolve the trouble, had already made the girl quite impressed.


    It even seemed as if his heart had been moved.


    In terms of emotions, she had to think of a way to help Ye Chen.


    While the people around Ye Chen were still fighting with each other over this bet, Ye Chen, who was the main culprit, seemed to be extremely calm.


    This kind of contrast made some people even more certain that the youth had slapped his face to make it look like he was making a fool of himself.


    The mockery and insults continued unabated.


    "Brother Ye, now ¡­"


    Fatty was also surrounded, feeling a little anxious.


    If this continued, by the time everyone arrived and the results were announced, it would be too late to leave.


    "It seems that I have come at the right time. Ye Chen, I, Han City, am waiting for you to fulfill your promise. If you dare to violate my promise, I would not mind sending you off!"


    Han Cheng had a sinister smile on his face as he clapped and cheered. At the same time, he brought his lackeys over to surround him.


    From the looks of it, it was impossible to escape unscathed today.


    "Han City, what are you doing? It''s just a bet, is there a need?"


    Liu Ying Ying shouted, but her heart was filled with anxiety and worry.


    If it was going to get out of hand, it would not benefit Ye Chen at all.


    That Han City had suffered a lot last time, who knew if they would leave Ye Chen alone this time, maybe he would really kick Ye Chen out of Beijing High School.


    But how could Liu Ying Ying Ying''s tender shout be able to suppress the group of people in front of her?


    "Oh?" "Ye Chen, you are so good at living off people, have you gone up to the next floor?"


    "You''re just a pretty boy. To think that you still had the face to stand here. If I were you, I would have already found a hole and buried myself in it ¡­"


    Han City and Wang Ziyi could be said to be singing at the same time.


    Liu Yingying, who was standing to the side, could only watch in panic.


    "No, I still have to call my father and ask him to go to the principal''s side ¡­"


    "It''s already 9. The results have been announced!"


    Just as Liu Ying Ying was about to take out her cell phone to make a call, the crowd burst into cheers and interrupted her actions.


    Following that, the rankings and total points spread like wildfire.


    "Wang Gang, 412 points, 28th class, 116th in school ¡­"


    "Zhao Jingwei, 480 points. Class ranking: 20. The whole school''s rank: 81 ¡­"


    "Cai Chengjian, 471 points, 23rd in class, 92nd in school ¡­"


    "..."


    "Wang Ziyi, 598 points. Rank in class is 4. Rank in the entire school is 10!"


    The sudden announcement of the scores made the entire venue boil over with excitement!


    To be able to score two points away from 600 in a high school exam like this, it was definitely a shocking existence.


    In the past, there were only a handful of people in the school who exceeded six hundred!


    "How is it? "Ye Chen, what do you have to say for yourself this time?"


    Wang Ziyi raised her chin, looking at Ye Chen who was still as indifferent as before with a mocking look, as if he was a king looking down on his subjects.


    "This time, even if you have the ability of a pretty boy, Liu Ying Ying will let you win. You are just a scum that doesn''t know anything. How can someone like you have the face to say that you want to defeat our entire class?" Was he even worthy to fight with Young Master Han? How dare he slander Duanmu Huanghun? How laughable! "


    "Hurry up and f * * k off. Yan Jing High School won''t tolerate people like you!"


    Han Cheng was also beaming with joy. He called for his henchmen behind him, and they had already surrounded Ye Chen.


    Today, he would make Ye Chen lose his reputation and get out of Beijing High School!


    "Ha ha-ha, scum, you got to scram yourself? Or do you want me to pack you up before you scram? "


    Han City raised his eyebrows and laughed sinisterly with incomparable contempt and ridicule, causing the people around him to burst out in laughter.


    "Pah!" "Pah!"


    Two loud slaps sounded out.


    Unknowingly, a bright red handprint had appeared on the faces of Han City and Wang Ziyi.


    Their complacent smiles were still stuck in the air!


    However, the next shout caused everyone to freeze on the spot!


    "Ye Chen, 702 points, rank 1!"


    "The entire school''s rank is 1!"

 C32

    The shout that had announced Ye Chen''s score was like a thunderclap, exploding the entire hall.


    Doubt, shock, disbelief, mockery... All sorts of emotions surged in his heart. However, when he looked at the simple numbers and names on the screen, he felt that his three views had been completely overturned in that instant!


    "Brother Ye, you''re actually first, and also first in the entire school!"


    The fatty''s excited yells rang out once again in everyone''s ears.


    Even he, Ye Chen''s brother, did not know that his big brother could be so capable, let alone the other people present.


    If one could imagine it, not only did this kid get first place in the class, but he also got first place in the entire school! Then he had really seen a ghost!


    "Ying Ying, this Ye Chen ¡­"


    Zhao Mengsi''s eyes widened. Even the hand holding the potato chips was suspended in the air.


    This time, she was truly stunned by this ordinary looking youth.


    As for Liu Ying Ying, who was beside him, he didn''t know what kind of splendor was on her pretty face. Within her limpid eyes that was staring at the young man in the arena, there seemed to be something else.


    That faint smile was like a fleeting flower, appearing extremely enchanting. However, the only person who could cause this Ice Mountain Goddess to reveal such an expression was most likely the only person in this high school!


    "You! Ye Chen! How is this possible!? How could you be first! "


    Wang Ziyi screamed at the top of her lungs, as if she had used up all of her strength.


    The way she acted like a shrew seemed to match the image she had left for Ye Chen.


    "Ye Chen!" "How dare you! Not only did you cheat during the third year of high school, you even beat me. I think you must be tired of living!"


    Han City''s expression was cold, and it was hard to see if blood could drip from it.


    To be slapped in such a manner in public without anyone noticing was the same as being slapped twice in a row. This was truly a shameful moment in his life.


    As for Ye Chen''s score, of course they would have to insist that he was cheating.


    In any case, with Ye Chen''s performance before, even if he did not do very well, he would never be able to reach this level.


    Wang Ziyi was two points away from six hundred, which was already a high score. But the current Ye Chen was only seven hundred, which was still just two points. Even a fool would know what that was.


    "What are you doing? So it''s cheating!"


    "That''s right. Otherwise, how else would this kid have such a high level of result? Isn''t this something Tsinghua University doesn''t casually pick?"


    "Even if you can''t pass, you can''t. You still have to cheat. Tsk, you are nothing more than a villain!" If you have the ability, explain it to me! "


    A group of fellows, who hated others and wanted to curry favor with the two men from the Han city, immediately grabbed the opportunity and started to chime in.


    All of a sudden, it was as if Ye Chen''s first place was even more shameful than the last place in the whole school.


    Not to mention the fatty, even Liu Ying Ying and Ling''Er, who were watching from the side, couldn''t stand to watch anymore.


    It was almost impossible to cheat in this kind of exam, not to mention, Ye Chen was not that kind of person.


    "You!"


    Just as the fat man was about to attack, he was stopped by Ye Chen who was right next to him.


    The youth didn''t want to be entangled in this matter too much, nor did he want to explain anything to these small fries. However, since he said all this, he naturally didn''t mind retaliating against these shameless scumbags.


    "Cheating? If you have the ability, why don''t you try and cheat? Hehe, the young master of the Han family, and this shrew, you can really say that! "Could it be that you are the only one who can do well in this exam, and you are the only one who has brains, and I, Ye Chen, do not have it?"


    "Do you really think that I, Ye Chen, am just a lowly person? Let me tell you, I, Ye Chen, have brains that are a hundred times smarter than you human beings. How could I forget ¡­"


    "Explanation? When I, Ye Chen, do things, do I need to explain it to you bastards? Laughable! "


    "..."


    Ye Chen finished his sentence in one breath.


    Each word was filled with incomparable confidence and confidence, as well as a magic that intimidated everyone from the depths of their souls.


    Especially those random examples of Ye Chen, which made everyone completely believe that the current Ye Chen was no longer the Ye Chen of the past. There was no need to cheat at all!


    "What is it? If you lose, hurry up and f * ck off! "


    "I''m not leaving. Do you need me to send you off?"


    The sudden change in the young man''s shout sent chills down the spines of the people from Han City, Wang Ziyi, and the others!


    Such a cold demeanor and the formless terrifying aura had already caused them to lose the courage to resist.


    Recalling the performance of the youth from the martial arts school, he felt like he was courting death!


    "You! You... "Let''s wait and see!"


    Wang Ziyi angrily threw down those words of helplessness before turning around and fleeing.


    As for Han City, Zhao Chengwei and the others, they left as if they knew what was going on. Even the red mark on Han City''s face did not dare to look for Ye Chen again.


    If they really started to fight, there was no guarantee that Han Cheng or Ye Chen would be the first one to fall.


    "Humph!" If I let you continue to be so arrogant for a few more days, I''ll make you suffer! "


    Han City viciously turned his head to glance at the youth who remained indifferent on the spot as he cursed in his heart.


    No matter what, Ye Chen was his sworn enemy, and he would not let him go.


    No matter what kind of tricks he used, he would never let Ye Chen have a good life.


    The rest of the group tactfully left after the leader of the group left. The youngsters in this match were people who dared to fight even fierce figures like the young master of the Han family and class monitor Wang Ziyi. What were these people worth?


    And today, Ye Chen had completely become famous in Beijing High School because of his ranking.


    The fame of those who were already at the heart of the struggle once again rose to the peak.


    "Fatty, let''s go. There''s no need to take these people to heart."


    Seeing how these people felt, Ye Chen lost his interest and called the fat guy to leave.


    "Ye Chen, wait a minute!"


    Just as the two were about to leave, a feminine voice came from behind, causing the young man to pause slightly.


    In this Beijing high school, only Liu Ying Ying was the only one with such a soft voice that carried the temperament of an iceberg.


    "Can I take you out to dinner tonight? I haven''t had the chance to thank you for what happened at home last time. "


    The girl touched the water like a dragonfly, she took a few short steps towards Ye Chen.


    The intimate distance between the two of them was enough for Ye Chen to feel the unique scent of a girl from Liu Ying Ying.


    "Eh, all of you take your time and chat. I''ll be leaving first, hah ¡­"


    The fat guy patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, left him with a weird look, turned around and ran away.


    He didn''t want to be a thousand-watt bulb here.


    As for the surrounding crowd, they were all staring at the scene with reddened eyes. To have a goddess invite them to dinner, it would be worth it even if he had to live for three years longer!


    However, what others had been hoping for was too much for Ye Chen. And yet, he was still hesitating!


    He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.


    "Damn, isn''t this kid too damn lucky ¡­"

 C33

    The evening breeze of the summer night blew away the scorching heat in people''s hearts. On the busy streets of Beijing, the youth and Liu Ying Ying walked side by side.


    The one who came along was also her best friend, the weird Zhao Mengsi.


    However, at this moment, she was obviously complaining that Liu Ying Ying had pulled her out to be a light bulb.


    "Hey, Ying Ying, I said you want to go with Ye Chen, why do you want to go with me?"


    Zhao Mengsi held Liu Yingying''s hand and reached for her waist unconsciously. However, when she looked at Ye Chen who was standing beside her, she did not do anything.


    After the events of the last few days, her opinion of Ye Chen had changed quite a bit.


    "I brought you out to play. Is it fun to be cooped up in school all day?"


    Liu Ying Ying pushed Zhao Meng Si''s claws away while calling out to Ye Chen who was beside her.


    "Look, that''s the Jun Yu restaurant. It''s a newly opened top-notch restaurant near the school. Let''s go there together!"


    Ye Chen nodded, he did not care anymore.


    This place was very close to the school, so after the class ended, the three of them walked over together.


    Under the rainbow-colored neon lights, the name "Jun Yue Restaurant" was exceptionally eye-catching. This iconic building in the center of the city was said to have been jointly built by a few business tycoons. It was definitely a beautiful scenery.


    In the open air parking lot in front of the door, many luxurious cars were leaning against each other. As Ye Chen walked along the road, he had almost never seen any cars that were worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.


    "It seems like the restaurant''s quality is not bad."


    Ye Chen glanced at the decorations around him, and sighed in his heart.


    However, because of these two beauties, the number of eyes filled with jealousy and hatred that Ye Chen had attracted along the way was countless. However, all these things had been completely ignored by Ye Chen.


    The furnishings in the hall were equally luxurious. The corridor was decorated with fiery red carpets and flower petals. On both sides of the hall, there were large blue and white porcelain bottles with various flowers scattered within.


    The crystal lamp at the top flickered, causing the incomparably spacious hall to appear as though it was day.


    "Hello, the three of you, please come in!"


    As soon as he entered, the waiter immediately greeted Liu Ying Ying. However, when he turned his eyes from the two girls to Ye Chen, he could not help but frown.


    From the way the two of them were dressed, anyone with a good eye could tell at a glance that this was a young girl from a noble family. However, this young man could only use the word ''plain'' to describe him as wearing a simple white shirt and white jeans.


    "Please take a seat. There is a menu on the table. If you need anything, feel free to tell me."


    The waiter directly ignored Ye Chen, who was sitting at the back, and bowed to the two girls.


    Ye Chen naturally noticed all these, but he did not say anything.


    "Ye Chen, what would you like to eat? Just order directly, no need to be polite."


    Just as the three of them sat down, Liu Yingying faintly smiled and handed over the menu on the table. Even the gluttony Zhao Mengsi restrained herself from ordering first.


    They knew that the teenager''s family background was not that great, and he probably would not come to this kind of place, so it was even more impossible for him to remember the name of this dish.


    "Then I''ll accept it."


    With Ye Chen''s intelligence, he naturally knew what the two girls were thinking about. He smiled and picked up the menu.


    However, before they could open the door, a wave of noise came from the entrance of the hall and immediately attracted everyone''s attention.


    Especially that incomparably familiar scolding sound, it caused the two girls to be unable to help themselves from frowning.


    "F * ck, today is just like eight lifetimes of bad luck. How the hell did Ye Chen suddenly become so powerful?"


    "That''s right, that brat must have eaten some medicine, right?" To go from being a failure of a student to being first in the entire school in just a few days? "


    "In my opinion, this kid must be cheating. Wang Gang, you have to get your dad to investigate this!"


    At the end, Ye Chen could not be more familiar with that sarcastic and shrewish female voice.


    Without even turning his head around, Ye Chen could tell that the group of people who had arrived today were Han Cheng, Zhao Manwei and the rest. Even Zheng Yu, who had been taught a lesson a few days ago, came with a swollen face.


    "These people, they are so scary. Ye Chen, don''t worry about them."


    Liu Yingying stared angrily at those few people, then she turned to Ye Chen and comforted him.


    She really didn''t want these people to come and cause trouble for her and even disturbed a rare date that she had.


    "Ying Ying, looks like you won''t be able to avoid this trouble of yours. Look at Zheng Yu over there."


    While he was speaking, Zheng Yu and the others were already walking over.


    Zheng Yu saw his goddess right away, and naturally also saw Ye Chen, who was sitting right next to him.


    If it were not for the fact that there was still a little pain on his face, which reminded him of the terrifying part of a teenager, he would have already brought his men to beat Ye Chen up.


    "Oh?" "Ye Chen, I can''t believe it. One day, you will be able to come here and eat. Do you know where this is?"


    Zheng Yu looked at Ye Chen with a face full of mockery. His voice had attracted the attention of all the people around him.


    The rest of the people in the hall also put down their chopsticks and watched the show.


    "That is ¡­" Why did the young master of the Zheng Clan, Zheng Yu, come here personally today? "I remember that the major shareholder in this restaurant is their Zheng Family, right?"


    "The wound on his face... Who would dare to touch him? I''m afraid you don''t want to live anymore. "


    "Young Master Zheng seems to be talking about that poor brat over there, right?" Who is that person? "


    The surrounding discussion continued on and on.


    Especially when they saw Ye Chen, who was dressed up as if he did not belong in this upper class, they felt scornful and disdainful. They immediately flew over, as if they were going to drown the teenager in an instant.


    "Zheng Yu, you''re done. No matter what, we''re still classmates. Is there a need for you to be so overbearing?"


    Liu Yingying''s pretty face turned slightly cold and traces of anger surged into her heart.


    Today, she was the one who was bringing Ye Chen here to eat, so she could not let him get hurt like this.


    "Student? Liu Yingying, do you think that a poor kid like Ye Chen is worthy to be Young Master Zheng''s classmate? "


    Wang Ziyi seemed to have grabbed onto Ye Chen''s weakness and started firing at him.


    Indeed, no matter how good Ye Chen could fight or how good his grades were, it would not change his birth, nor the fact that he was poor and had no background!


    "Ye Chen, I have to say, after you were dumped by your sister-in-law, you still haven''t made any progress. You''re still as pretty as ever, and you still rely on women to eat. Sigh ¡­"


    Han Cheng pretended to sigh, but he continued to mock Ye Chen.


    The sister-in-law he was referring to was naturally his big brother Chen Han''s girlfriend, and also Ye Chen''s ex-girlfriend, Fang Zi Ning.


    This incident was undoubtedly the best way to strike a blow to Ye Chen.


    Meanwhile, Ye Chen''s face had also turned colder. His dark eyes were filled with coldness.

 C34

    But why would these people pay attention to the change in the youth''s expression? To them, Ye Chen''s pain was the greatest joy.


    "What is it? "Ye Chen, why are you not responding?"


    To tell you the truth, our Zheng Group is the majority shareholder of the top restaurant in Yan Jing city. I have come here in the luxurious VIP private room, and have eaten the delicacies of a mountain and a sea, the whole restaurant is filled with luxurious tableware, and even if you come, you are destined to only stay in this ordinary hall!


    Seeing that Ye Chen did not reply, Zheng Yu was even more sure that he would not let this opportunity to teach this guy a lesson in front of his goddess.


    The face he lost last time in front of Ye Chen, he had to win it back this time!


    Moreover, this time, it was a sure win.


    Speaking of fighting and grades, perhaps Ye Chen did have some ability, but speaking of his status and background, as a pretty boy, he could only laugh out loud!


    "Ying Ying, are you two interested in going upstairs with me? That is the true luxury of this restaurant. Not just anyone can enter there! "


    Zheng Yu changed the topic of conversation again, completely ignoring Ye Chen who had remained silent, he turned to the two girls beside him and said.


    "Zheng Yu, you are going too far! How can you say that to Ye Chen?!"


    Liu Yingying was so angry that her face turned red. How could she have the mood to care about Zheng Yu in front of her? Her straightforward rejection and scolding made the young master of the Zheng Family lose all face.


    The gazes of the surrounding people became even weirder when they saw Young Master Zheng.


    Who would have thought that there would be someone he, Young Master Zheng, couldn''t take down in his own territory?


    When they recalled the tit for tat with the boy who was dressed normally, some smart people could already see some clues.


    "Young Master Zheng, there''s no need to get entangled with this sort of trash. It''s completely unsightly."


    "Let''s leave first. It''s really boring to care about this sort of people."


    Seeing that Ye Chen did not reply, Wang Gang, Zhao Chengwei and the others who were behind him gave him a few looks of disdain, then decided to go up to eat first.


    After all, they were here for a gathering, so it was convenient for them to discuss how to deal with Ye Chen.


    As for talking to Ye Chen here, that was out of his expectation.


    "That''s true. This kind of person doesn''t even have the qualifications to enter one''s eyes. Just him alone would be enough for him to work hard for the rest of his life in this blue and white porcelain vase!"


    Zheng Yu pretended to wave his hand carelessly and pointed to the decorations on the side of the corridor as he spoke in a flaunting manner.


    At least he, Zheng Yu, had the confidence to be able to defeat Ye Chen in just a few minutes when it came to wealth.


    "Hua Hua!"


    Just when Zheng Yu felt bored and intended to head to the second floor, a sudden clear sound startled him.


    The blue and white porcelain bottle that was previously placed on the side was now shattered into pieces. Pieces of broken porcelain were scattered on the fiery-red carpet, and the various colors of the rare Yu Jinlan were scattered all over the floor.


    "Who is it!"


    This sudden turn of events not only caused Zheng Yu and the others to be stunned on the spot, it also caused the crowd that had originally lost interest to once again focus their attention on the scene.


    However, when they discovered what had happened, they could not help but turn their gazes to a certain spot.


    Because right now, Ye Chen was holding a silver knife and fork that he had taken out from the cutlery box with one hand, while with the other hand, he was fiddling with a western knife that had not been thrown out yet.


    Looking at the silver fork left by the broken vase, it was obvious.


    "It''s you?" "You even dared to intentionally break these vases. You know how much this vase is worth ¡­"


    "Hua hua!"


    Another clear shattering sound could be heard, just like before. Another blue and white porcelain bottle had lost its life under Ye Chen''s blade.


    This kind of speed, accuracy, and power was not something an ordinary person could compare with.


    Without a doubt, this was what the youth was doing.


    "Ye Chen, you ¡­"


    This time, not only did the surrounding spectators look at this ignorant youth in a mocking manner, but even Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng Si had puzzled expressions on their faces.


    Zheng Yu had indeed said that this vase was enough for Ye Chen to work hard for the rest of his life. However, if he were to destroy these priceless treasures, then he would have to pay a huge compensation, and it was not something that the teenager in front of him could handle.


    Even if the two of them wanted to compensate, there was a limit ¡­


    "Ye Chen, how dare you ¡­"


    "Hua Hua Hua!"


    The sounds of porcelain shattering in succession interrupted Zheng Yu''s warnings and curses, as well as the actions of Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng Si.


    This time, not only them, but everyone else including Zheng Yu were also dumbfounded!


    This damn poor brat actually dared to use his little bit of disrespectful dignity to come here and cause trouble? If that wasn''t courting death, what else could it be?


    "Young Master Zheng, should we ¡­"


    "No need, you can count on it. Get someone to block the door. Today, if he doesn''t finish compensating for this sum of money, he can''t leave this place alive!"


    Zheng Yu shouted out fiercely, interrupting those waiters who were trying to stop Ye Chen from breaking the vase.


    He had said before that this vase was enough for Ye Chen to work hard for a lifetime, and that was not a joke.


    "Hua Hua Hua Hua!"


    As the final four crisp sounds rang out, the eight antique blue and white porcelain bottles on both sides of the passageway had already been completely transformed into a pile of shattered porcelain pieces.


    The precious flowers on it were scattered all over the ground, causing the bright red carpeted walkway to be a complete mess.


    Seeing that Ye Chen had stopped, the waiter who was leading the guards who had been waiting at the door immediately ran over and surrounded them.


    All of them were very aggressive as they surrounded Ye Chen''s table so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.


    Seeing this, the two women''s expressions completely changed.


    Not to mention Zhao Mengsi, who had a better impression of Ye Chen, even Liu Yingying could not understand what the young man was trying to do now.


    He even felt that Ye Chen was being too reckless!


    In order to vent the anger in his heart, showing off his ability for the moment was undoubtedly the stupidest act. How could he have the image of the calm and composed youth from before?


    "Sir, the blue and white porcelain bottles here are the treasures of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Our restaurant buys four hundred and fifty thousand yuan for each of them. Including the decorations inside, it costs four hundred and eighty thousand yuan. You broke eight bottles in total, for a total of three million eight hundred and forty thousand yuan."


    The waiter mechanically and skillfully quoted a price. The ridicule and arrogance in his tone was undoubtedly obvious.


    They were 100% confident that this kid wouldn''t be able to take out the money today.


    As for his fate, it would either be ten years of imprisonment, or working in this restaurant for a lifetime as a laborer to repay his debt ¡­

 C35

    When they heard the price, even Zhao Mengsi and Liu Yingying, who were already mentally prepared, were dumbfounded.


    Over three million yuan, nearing four million yuan. Even if their family background wasn''t ordinary, it wouldn''t be easy for them to lay out four million yuan in cash. Without their family''s permission and support, it was impossible.


    "We''ll keep it for now. I''m Mayor Liu''s daughter, Liu Yingying. This is my student card. I''ll use my reputation as a guarantee and I''ll return it later!"


    The young girl said resolutely to the waiter without any hesitation as she left her student card on the table.


    Without any hesitation, he made the nearby Zheng Yu''s eyes turn red.


    Since when did her Ice Snow Goddess become so good at taking care of people?


    It has to be said that Liu Ying Ying normally didn''t have any friends other than Zhao Meng Si, who was a close friend. As for the other members of the same age group, that was a far cry from her.


    Yet today, he actually dared to take his reputation as a joke for the sake of such a poor kid!


    "I can also vouch for Ye Chen. I am Zhao Meng Si of the Zhao Family."


    Zhao Meng sighed helplessly. She looked at Ye Chen who was sitting calmly on the seat in disappointment, but still slowly stood up.


    No matter what, she had to recognize this close friend of hers. Since something had happened, of course she wouldn''t shrink back.


    "You all ¡­"


    This time, it was the waiter''s turn to be shocked.


    These two rich and powerful people were actually willing to vouch for such an ordinary poor brat? It was as if the sun had risen from the west!


    The gazes of the entire audience swept over the youth one after another.


    He could not imagine what kind of person Ye Chen was to be able to win the hearts of these two girls.


    "Good!" "Good, good, good!"


    Zheng Yu was so angry that he laughed out loud. While clapping his hands, he slowly walked towards Ye Chen.


    His face flushed red with anger, and the fury in his heart erupted like a volcano!


    How could Zheng Yu be inferior to this poor brat before him?


    She was actually ignored by the goddess, and even pushed aside!


    "Ye Chen, if you are a man, then come out and exchange this money for me!" You only know how to hide behind a woman, what kind of ability is that! "


    "Could it be that you, Ye Chen, are a coward?"


    Zheng Yu shouted out explosively as if he was venting his rage and jealousy.


    But in the end, the topic changed to ridicule and disdain.


    "Of course, Ye Chen, if you are willing to kneel down in front of everyone and call me grandpa, maybe I, Zheng Yu, can consider showing some mercy. For the sake of my fellow student, I will give you the four million, after all, it is nothing to me."


    As he finished his sentence, he began to laugh maniacally, as if he was talking about charity.


    That kind of condescending tone, as if Ye Chen was a servant of his own family.


    "Hahaha, why ¡­"


    "Swoosh!"


    Suddenly, a sharp sound of something tearing through the air whistled over, causing Zheng Yu''s wild laughter to abruptly stop.


    By the time everyone could react, the two flying daggers had already accurately stabbed into the wall behind Zheng Yu. Half of them had already sunk into the wall!


    If he were even slightly to the side, his head would have hit the ground!


    "You!"


    The smile on Zheng Yu''s face froze, and he felt a chill down his spine. That was because at this moment, when Ye Chen looked over again, he felt a cold aura of death.


    He did not even doubt that Ye Chen would kill him with a single slash!


    "What is it? Are you done talking? If you''ve said enough, then shut up! "


    Ye Chen slowly stood up. His dark eyes were filled with a cold light.


    A dragon has a reverse scale. Touch it and you will die.


    And Ye Chen was the same.


    Today, there was someone who dared to use Fang Zi Ning to speak, who dared to ridicule his birth, and who dared to slander his character. How could he endure that?


    "Then, mister, I''d like to ask you to first match this three hundred and eighty-four ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    The arrogant waiter had yet to finish his mockery when a purplish-gold card whistled through the air and ruthlessly slapped his face!


    When everyone saw the purplish-gold card on the ground, the waiter was originally angry and wanted to curse back, but he swallowed his words back. His entire body froze on the spot as he looked at the card, not daring to say a single word!


    "This... This was the Su Clan''s supreme Purple Gold Card! In China, the Su Family does not have more than three top-notch identity cards! "


    "F * ck, this kid, what background does he have? This sort of card, only in Yan Jing, the Su Clan''s old man has one on him!"


    "Isn''t the Junyue Restaurant being built by the Su Clan!?" Even the Zheng Family is only a major shareholder! "


    There were some people around who saw it, and with a single sentence, they revealed the origin of the card.


    The next moment, the crowd was boiling. It was completely boiling!


    As for the origin of this young man, he had become a huge bomb in the arena, causing it to explode in an instant.


    Not to mention those who did not know Ye Chen, even Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng Si who were sitting right in front of him, were completely shocked.


    Liu Ying Ying Ying was even more shocked as she covered her cherry lips. The love and longing in her eyes when she looked at the youth became even stronger.


    This was no emotional action at all. From the very beginning, this youth had only been defending his dignity!


    Even Zhao Mengsi, who was standing aside, was completely impressed by Ye Chen!


    And in their eyes, this ordinary college student with no background or background actually had such a terrifying identity!


    Su Family''s purple card, what kind of concept was that?


    There was at least 50 million shares in it. A mansion could be bought for free by any business in the Su family, and it also had the right to be used as a top-level. Not to mention breaking a few vases, even if Ye Chen wanted to tear down the first floor of the Jun Yue restaurant, the owner would still have to find a team for him!


    Of course, the ones with the ugliest expressions were not the waiters in front of them, but Zheng Yu and Han Cheng''s group, who were still standing by the side!


    Wang Gang, Zhao Bowei, and the rest did not dare to look in their direction anymore. They silently lowered their heads, wishing they could find a hole to hide in.


    As for Zheng Yu, who was being targeted by the crowd, at this moment, he was like a clown as he faced all sorts of strange gazes.


    He, as a major shareholder, was blind to dare to make a ruckus with the boss here.


    Xiao Yan''s face turned green and white. He was so angry that the wounds on his face began to crack. It was so much so that his face began to become somewhat distorted.


    "You! "Kid, when did you steal it?!"


    As if to save some face, he used the last bit of his confidence to shout out these words. However, in the eyes of others, it was nothing more than making a ruckus and disgrace himself!


    "Steal? If you have the ability, why don''t you steal one? Get lost already! "


    Ye Chen snapped coldly, and his voice once again spread across the whole field.


    However, this time, there would be no one who would dare to look down on this seemingly ordinary youth who was not even twenty years old!


    His identity and background were enough to crush everyone here!


    As for this young master Zheng who was showing off his strength earlier, he could only leave the hall dejectedly with the group of people behind him.


    "Master Ye, I am blind. This way please, this way please, there is a VIP seat up there ¡­"


    The waiter immediately nodded his head and bowed. He was extremely flattering as he respectfully returned the purple card. When did he dare to mention anything from before?


    This kind of heavyweight was not someone that a small fry like them could afford to offend ¡­

 C36

    With Ye Chen making such a big scene in the Jun Yue restaurant, how would the other people in the restaurant dare to offend him?


    That night, Ye Chen and the other two people seemed to be enjoying the top quality dishes in the restaurant. In the VIP box, they were enjoying the exclusive service that people admired the most, as well as the whole restaurant.


    And this time, it had thoroughly made the youth famous.


    A person who could humiliate the Zheng Family and also possess a Su Family''s Purple Gold Card was definitely not a small character.


    As for the invitation from Liu Yingying at the banquet, the youth didn''t refuse.


    Ye Chen had a good impression of Liu Ying Ying from the beginning, so he did not avoid her at all.


    The next day, Ye Chen was in his senior year class in Beijing High School. As usual, he was casually reading some other books he had borrowed from the library. As for his textbooks, they had already been thrown aside.


    Because they were in a foreign world, they did not have much understanding towards modern medical techniques. However, with the school''s methods and photographic memory, this was not a problem.


    "Brother Ye, you can do it too. Did you have fun yesterday?" I heard that you made Zheng Yu so angry that he didn''t even come to class! "


    The fat guy was so bored that he could not help but start gossiping. Ye Chen patted on Ye Chen''s shoulder.


    First, he offended the Han Family''s Han City, then he became a director of the Disciplinary Committee. Later, he compared himself to Brother Duanmu, beat up the Zheng Family''s Young Master, and even obtained the favor of the two school beauties.


    This incident had already made Ye Chen''s name on the school forums very popular, and he had dominated the rankings for more than a week.


    "Him? It''s just a small fry like that, don''t worry about it. "


    Ye Chen casually waved his hand, showing that he did not care.


    Others might think that Zheng Yu would be a strong opponent for the teenager, but from the beginning to the end, Ye Chen had never put Zheng Yu in his eyes.


    "F * ck, Brother Ye, this is also amazing. Come, tell me!"


    Fatty had a gossipy expression on his face. He wanted to know about the rumors from last night.


    "Okay, you don''t need to ask. Your brother Ye is amazing, so of course he wouldn''t bother to mention those small fries."


    Zhao Mengsi, who had suddenly interrupted, rolled her eyes at Ye Chen.


    Although what happened last night had changed her opinion of Ye Chen a lot.


    However, this guy had concealed his background and the Purple-Gold Card. This made her, who was extremely gossipy, slightly angry.


    "Oh right, my Ying Ying said that she wants to buy something in a few days and prepare for her birthday party. Do you want to go with her?"


    After taking another glance at Ye Chen, Zhao Mengsi finally remembered the important matter.


    Ye Chen raised his head and saw Liu Yingying sitting in the opposite corridor.


    The girl was still wearing that light green dress. Her shoulders were slightly exposed, and her fair and tender hands were supporting her delicate chin as she stared at Ye Chen. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her smile was like a flower.


    For a moment, their gazes met, causing Zhao Mengsi and Fatty, who were separated in the middle, to feel blinded.


    "Alright, just let me know in advance."


    Seeing that, Ye Chen slightly nodded, and immediately looked away.


    And this scene of the two of them caused the surrounding group of single dogs to grit their teeth in itch.


    In Ye Chen''s hand, almost everyone was envious of him, yet he was still hesitating. If one were to compare the two, it would be like comparing the person to the person, truly infuriating.


    "Oh, there''s one more thing, I don''t know if I should say."


    The weird Zhao Mengsi glanced at her best friend, Liu Yingying, who was lost in her own thoughts, and continued talking to Ye Chen.


    From her tone, it seemed that someone was going to settle the score with her.


    "What is it?"


    Zhao Mengsi''s reaction also caught Ye Chen''s interest.


    To be able to cause such a delicate reaction from the two girls, this matter really caused one to feel a little curious.


    "If I say it, I''m afraid that someone will be jealous. You have to promise that you''ll help me stop someone who wants to pinch me. I''ll tell you later."


    Zhao Mengsi hinted at something with her eyes as she spoke.


    "Meng Si!" If you keep talking nonsense, I''ll hit you! "


    Liu Ying Ying, who had just been lying down like a cute little lazy cat, instantly went berserk.


    She put on a shameful and indignant expression. From the looks of it, it seemed that she was planning to teach Zhao Meng Si, who was standing in front of her, a lesson.


    However, when the girl''s eyes touched Ye Chen, who was looking at her with an indifferent look, she couldn''t help but slightly restrain her movements.


    It was as if Ye Chen had some magical power that could make a girl act like a lady from a noble family in front of him.


    "Like I said, the girl from next door who hugged you before, Chu Yuling, has been sick recently and seems to be very serious. The entire Chu Clan is busy looking for a doctor."


    "I''ve heard Ying Ying say that you have some medical skills. So, do you want to see your little lover?"


    Zhao Mengsi smiled mischievously, especially at the end when she emphasized what she meant by ''little lover''.


    Hearing these words, Ye Chen felt as if his head was covered in black lines.


    These two people treated Chu Yuling, who had collapsed in his arms, as a rival in love.


    "Meng Si!" What did you say! "


    Liu Ying Ying was like a young girl who had her thoughts exposed. Her face was red from embarrassment. Looking at her adorable appearance, she was about to pounce on Zhao Meng Si.


    This scene caused the others in the classroom to sigh continuously as they watched, feeling envy, jealousy and hatred.


    Perhaps, this ice goddess in their eyes, could only show such a cute side to this ordinary teenager named Ye Chen.


    As for them, they were destined to be envious for the rest of their lives.


    "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Brother Ye, you can do it too!"


    The fat man laughed and patted on Ye Chen''s shoulder.


    "It seems like you need to consider this matter carefully. It''s not good for you to offend either side!"


    Fatty Luo said in a deep tone.


    One had to say, his big brother was not only becoming more and more mysterious, he was also becoming more and more charming.


    The goddess that others couldn''t even see in their hearts was like a cabbage that was sent up to them on its own accord.


    Ye Chen shrugged helplessly and did not take any of this to heart.


    However, Chu Yuling''s illness had caught Ye Chen''s interest.


    Logically speaking, with their Chu family''s wealth and resources, the number of famous doctors that they wanted to win over was countless. But why was it that they couldn''t even solve the illness of Qian Jin?


    "Forget it, I should find a time to take a look ¡­"


    The youth silently sighed, but in his heart, he made up his mind. He too, felt some concern for this girl.

 C37

    In front of a group of villas in the east district of Yan Jing city, a taxi slowly stopped.


    The youth opened the car door and looked at the wide range of sight in front of him. It stretched for hundreds of meters, and the pavilions and pavilions were even more scattered, giving them a sense of antiquity.


    Although this place was not as impressive as the Source Control Pavilion, but it had a different kind of charm to it.


    In fact, standing in front of the gate of the yard, Ye Chen could even smell a faint fragrance.


    "This is ¡­" The energy emitted by the Spirit Medicines? "


    Ye Chen slowly walked towards the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    Without a doubt, he was extremely familiar with the familiar Spiritual Energy fluctuations.


    He could even judge the type and age of the spirit medicine based on this unique fluctuation.


    "I''m sure that the Chu family must be related to medicine. Judging by the density of the spiritual energy medicine fragrance, there are quite a few expensive spiritual medicines stored here. It seems like I haven''t come to the wrong place this time."


    Ye Chen smiled as he thought to himself.


    Although he had come here because he was worried about Chu Yuling''s condition, it would be even better if he could obtain some of the things he needed.


    He had intended to collect some medicinal herbs for his own cultivation, but he had never had the opportunity to do so.


    "Halt, what are you doing!"


    One of them was fat and the other was skinny. One was tall and the other was short. He had a vicious look on his face. If it was not for his security uniform, Ye Chen would have thought these two were street hooligans.


    The two of them swung their batons as they sized up the youngster in front of them who wasn''t even twenty years old.


    Ye Chen''s appearance had always been that simple and plain, without any major changes. However, in the eyes of some low class people, he had already become a target of contempt.


    "I''m Chu Yuling''s classmate. When I heard that she was sick, I came to see her."


    Ye Chen''s face was as dark as water. His tone was calm, neither fast nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant.


    "Miss Chu''s classmate? Does my Miss have a classmate like you? "


    That fat security guard curled his lips in disdain, he was too lazy to even glance at Ye Chen.


    They were security guards here, they had seen a lot of hoodlums, and they were afraid that they would get used to it. For a poor bloke like Ye Chen, no matter what, chasing him out was better than letting him in.


    If this brat was a hoodlum, then their job would also be lost.


    "Indeed, scram quickly. This is not a marketplace where anyone can come!"


    The thin man mocked in a strange tone.


    From the looks of it, Ye Chen did not plan to enter today at all.


    "You two, I am indeed a student of Yan Jing High School. Here, I have my student card."


    Ye Chen''s expression did not change. He took out his student card and handed it over.


    "Oh? Is that so? "


    The leader of the guards took out the student card that Ye Chen had given him. It had been used for three years, and was a bit old. Without even looking at it, it fell to the ground with a "pa" sound.


    The fat security guard stuck out his belly that was full of pregnant women, and proudly raised his swollen chin, looking down at Ye Chen who was standing right in front of him.


    The disdain and ridicule on his face was accompanied by his reprimanding.


    "Hehe, who knows where you stole this trash. Scram. If you don''t scram, I will have to personally make you scram!"


    "Hurry, go, don''t mess with the Chu Clan''s path. This is not a place you can afford to mess with!"


    The two guards were singing at the same time, completely ignoring Ye Chen.


    The youth''s expression was still as calm as before. However, a trace of chilliness flashed across his pitch-black eyes, causing the temperature in the surroundings to plummet.


    Even the fat security guard who was about to continue speaking couldn''t help but pause for a moment.


    However, at this moment, a familiar shout filled with ridicule and ridicule came from behind the youth.


    "Oh?" I can''t believe I can see you here, Ye Chen! However, this Chu Clan does not seem to be a place that a person like you could come to, right? "


    Not far behind Ye Chen, there was a red Ferrari F845 that had just stopped, and from it walked out a fully dressed Duanmu Lei, who was looking at Ye Chen with disdain.


    This kind of reunion and enmity was very narrow, which was not something Ye Chen had expected.


    "Young Master Duanmu, you''re here as well. Quick, invite him in!"


    The two security guards at the door immediately recognized the person and greeted him.


    After all, with their Duanmu family''s power and status, as well as their daily connections with the Chu family, it was not strange that they could recognize Duanmu Lei.


    What was even more obvious was that Duanmu Lei''s Anima nametag, compared to this Ye Chen who had no more than two hundred points in total, was of a much higher grade.


    No matter how blind these people were, they wouldn''t be able to recognize the wrong person.


    "Young Master Duanmu knows this person?" "He is ¡­"


    "Know him?" Do you think this kind of person is worthy for me to know? "He''s just a little hoodlum in the school who doesn''t know anything, you can just directly kick him out. This kind of person doesn''t have the qualifications to come here."


    Duanmu Lei waved his hand and interrupted the fat security guard''s words.


    Because of Chu Yuling, he had already hated Ye Chen to the bones. How could he let Ye Chen go at this kind of time?


    "Yes, yes, yes. I knew it. How could someone like him be fit to know Young Master Duanmu? I wanted to chase him away just now."


    The fat security guard hurriedly nodded, afraid that his inappropriate words would cause Duanmu Lei to become displeased.


    The flattering smile on his face caused the fat to tremble.


    Compared to facing Ye Chen, this was like the difference between heaven and earth.


    "Haha, Ye Chen, you better get lost!" If you want to see Chu Yuling, dream on! "


    "Let''s go!"


    After leaving behind a sentence filled with cold mockery, Duanmu Lei turned around and led the people behind him in.


    The two security guards behind him instantly changed their faces.


    Facing Ye Chen, it was like facing his own servant.


    "Kid, did you hear that? "If you know what''s good for you, then hurry up ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew over. Before the fatty could see what was going on, the intense pain coming from his face made him cry out in pain.


    That violent force forced the fat man, who weighed over a hundred jin, to stagger backwards a few steps. Then, he sat down on the ground and started to spin!


    From the beginning to the end, he had not even been able to clearly see the youth''s movements, let alone react to it!


    "You!"


    "So noisy!"


    The cold shout from the youth contained a majestic might. As his pitch-black eyes flashed, traces of killing intent caused the two of them to feel a chill down their spines!


    At this moment, the wild smile on his face instantly froze. He was stunned to the spot by an ordinary youth who was not even twenty years old!


    As the concerned party, Ye Chen did not have the time to care about these two underlings. He quickly walked into the yard, leaving only a thin shadow behind him.

 C38

    In the Chu family''s meeting room, the seats on both sides of the Eight Immortals Table were filled with famous doctors and experts from all sorts of places.


    The Chu family, which was extremely low-key before, was quite lively and rowdy today. However, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit heavy and depressing.


    At the head seat, Chu He Jun''s face was dark and his brows were twisted into a line.


    He was Chu Yuling''s uncle, and also the head of the Chu Clan. He was in charge of the entire Chu Clan.


    Their Chu family was a medicine family that had existed for hundreds of years. They had a certain level of knowledge and research in medicine, and they were famous throughout the country for running medicine stores.


    The Ancient Spirit Pavilion was a branch of the Chinese chain. It had over a hundred branches and had a certain share of sales in different regions. Speaking of which, he could be considered a top second-rate power in Yan Jing. He could even be considered a first-rate power.


    But this time, his niece, Chu Yuling, was so ill that the entire clan was at a loss. She had no choice but to issue a public notice inviting all master teachers to diagnose her.


    "Masters, as long as the method you use is reasonable and the little girl''s illness is relieved, I cannot guarantee anything else. At least the medicinal materials from the Ancient Spirit Pavilion can be used to make any requests."


    Chu Hejun cupped his hands and greeted politely.


    He was well aware that the master teachers he invited were all incredible figures, to the point that they had some reservations in some areas.


    This was the most attractive bargaining chip that they had to play, allowing them to go all out.


    "From what I see, my daughter''s illness is caused by being susceptible to wind and cold poisons. It might be because she didn''t pay much attention when she went out on a trip and took in some moist air, that''s why she is like this. "My body is cold, that''s why ¡­"


    A middle-aged man in white clothing stood up and said.


    "This is ¡­" The specially hired director of the Chinese Medical Department of the Yanjing Famous Hospital, Master Li? "


    "I didn''t expect to see him here. They wouldn''t go out to diagnose him, right?"


    "That''s right. It is said that this Great Master Li is extremely famous in the domestic Chinese Medical field. Furthermore, he has the head of the group. He has already achieved the position of chairman not long after returning to his country ¡­"


    The other people in the audience immediately recognized Great Master Li''s background and identity.


    Waves of exclamations instantly lifted this person up to the sky. Master Li''s reputation was truly not small.


    "Uncle Chu, I invited Master Li over. He knew that Yu Ling was sick, so he rushed over, hoping to be of some help to Yu Ling''s illness."


    Duanmu Lei, who was sitting in a conspicuous spot, suddenly stood up and pretended to bow towards Chu Hejun.


    "Oh, it''s Duanmu. I''ll thank your Duanmu family first. I''ll definitely pay you a visit in the future."


    A rare trace of happiness appeared on Chu Hejun''s face.


    The Duanmu family and the Chu family had a bit of a relationship. Now that Duanmu youth was able to help them with all his might, it could be said that they had some sort of friendship.


    One had to know that these so-called masters were not that easy to invite.


    "Does this Great Master Li have any treatment methods? If you need any medicinal ingredients, feel free to speak. As long as it''s something that our Ancient Spirit Pavilion can provide, we will definitely not hold back."


    "In addition, if Master Li has any other requests, feel free to mention them. I just hope that you can help to save my daughter."


    Chu Hejun respectfully bowed to this white robed middle-aged man. His tone was also extremely polite.


    No matter what, if this person was willing to make a move, then Chu Yuling would have a chance of survival.


    "Your daughter was caused by severe cold. According to my method of treatment, she can use the Fiery Sun Cloud Flower as a medicinal guide and use the Codonopsis, Astragalus, Ferguson, Baohe, Summer Bug as support. By grinding them into powder, they will definitely be able to help her recover."


    "Also, this house is near the water. The yin aura is too heavy, so it is not suitable to live with a daughter. If possible, please move her away from here as soon as possible."


    The middle-aged man arrogantly stood up, exuding a majestic aura, as if he was an incomparably prideful individual, announcing the specific prescription and resolution.


    It was as if he did not put everyone present in his eyes at all.


    "Aiya, why didn''t I think of that? Yan Yang Cloud Flower, this medicinal ingredient is really dead!"


    As soon as Master Li finished speaking, someone on the seat slapped his thigh and stood up, feeling extremely excited.


    "That''s right, Great Master Li is right!"


    "Great Master Li''s move can be said to be a two-pronged attack. He has produced a medicinal formula and even solved the problem of his residence. I''m afraid that there are very few people who are proficient in both of these at the same time ¡­"


    The sounds of agreement in the arena rose and fell as they praised the so called Master Li in various ways.


    It was as if this was the existence of authority.


    Duanmu Lei, who was sitting on the seat, also had an arrogant expression on his face.


    This time, Master Li was personally brought here by him. If he could bring some help to Chu Yuling''s illness, then from now on, it would be much easier for him to marry this young lady of the Chu Clan.


    Moreover, this also proved his ability and insight. How could the people that he, Duanmu Lei, had recruited be mediocre?


    "In that case, let''s not delay this matter ¡­"


    "Wait!"


    Just as Duanmu Lei was about to tell Master Li to begin his diagnosis, a cold shout came from the entrance of the hall, interrupting his words.


    The following shout caused the hall, which was still echoing for Master Li, to become even more silent!


    "What Master Li is this?" But in my opinion, it''s all nonsense! "


    When these words were spoken, not only did the expressions of the crowd suddenly change, even the face of Chu Hejun, who had some happiness on his face, suddenly became cold and slightly darkened.


    This was especially the case when the crowd saw a young man, who did not even look to be twenty, slowly walking over from the entrance. His expression was clearly quite wonderful.


    On one side was a highly ranked figure in the medical field, and on the other side was a little kid who didn''t even know his name, it was obvious who was in the right and who was in the wrong.


    And at a time like this, to dare to speak such bad words to Master Li was undoubtedly offending the Duanmu family, the Chu family, and even Master Li who was the person in question.


    If this was investigated, there would be a good show to watch.


    As they thought of this, everyone turned their gazes towards the youth at the door, waiting for the next good show.


    As the person in question, Great Master Li was first stunned. However, when he saw that the person who spoke was only a brat, the anger within his heart immediately surged.


    For someone as powerful as him, let alone the kid in front of him, even in the medical realm, not many people would dare to scold him like this.


    He couldn''t afford to lose this face!


    "Brat, who do you think you are? "Where did you come from? Go back to where you came from. Don''t cause trouble here!"

 C39

    Master Li could be said to be incomparably imposing. How could he give this brat in front of him any chance to speak?


    With his reputation and authority, he normally would not have come into contact with people of this level. If it weren''t for the fact that the Duanmu family had spent a hefty sum of money and provided generous conditions, how could he, Master Li, have gone out to seek medical treatment?


    "Where did this guy come from? He''s already so old, and he doesn''t have the slightest bit of manners!"


    "That''s right. At such a young age, don''t tell me you don''t understand a single thing. Why don''t you see who you''re talking to ¡­"


    "He really doesn''t have any manners. He still dares to slander Master Li here!"


    All of a sudden, Ye Chen was completely drowned out by all the jokes in the ring.


    In everyone''s eyes, Ye Chen''s appearance meant that he was out of place!


    "Uncle Chu, this brat is just a hoodlum without any skills. Before, he even insulted me, but today, I don''t know how he managed to sneak in. I can just kick him out."


    Duanmu Lei, who was seated, suddenly stood up and shouted, causing the mockery in the crowd to lower their voices slightly.


    However, the words he said made the mockery and disdain in the audience rise to the peak!


    With Duanmu Lei''s confirmation, this person''s identity could be considered confirmed. He was just a hooligan.


    Whether it was their power, status, or reputation, any one of them present would absolutely crush this kind of person. A sense of superiority that arose involuntarily, causing them to crowd out this kind of outsider even more.


    As for Chu Hejun, after he sized up the young man, he was a bit hesitant.


    Even though from the beginning to the end, the young man had not shown any outstanding qualities, and from his simple and unadorned clothes, it was hard to tell what he was truly famous for.


    However, from the moment the youth stepped into the hall, regardless of how much ridicule he faced, his face was still as dark as water. That faintly revealing calm, neither servile nor overbearing, and even had a sense of self-confidence that was not something that an ordinary person could possess!


    "What is it? Ye Chen? You want to continue pestering me? Let me tell you, this is not a place that you can afford to stay! "


    "Hurry up and get lost!"


    Duanmu Lei could be said to be fighting over the position of the host. Before Chu Hejun could say anything, he had already started cursing.


    This kind of impoliteness and disrespect had exposed the tyrannical and unreasonable nature of this young master of a rich family, who would do anything to Ye Chen to get away from him.


    "Get lost? Why do I feel that it''s the best for you to scram, an unreasonable rich young master who brought a swindler to pay a visit? "


    Ye Chen snorted, his aura was not the least bit weak.


    From the very beginning, he had never put a small character in his eyes, let alone treat him as an opponent or even be afraid of him.


    The youth coldly stared at Master Li at the side. His eyes were like torches, but his face was calm and resolute. Not a single ripple could be seen on it, nor was there any interference.


    "For now, let''s not talk about whether Chu Yuling''s illness is due to the cold wind or not. You used the Fiery Cloud Flower as a medicinal ingredient. Don''t you know that the yang energy contained within the medicine can''t be applied to the normal summer''s cold wind physique?" Furthermore, the Party participates in the clash of wealth, and when there is an excess of yang energy, both parties are extremely poisonous. I''m afraid that you don''t want to cure them, but rather want to harm them? "


    "The Chu Clan''s residence is surrounded by mountains and water. The earth is rich and the water vapors are exhausted, and the suns are weak and strong. Not only is it lacking in Yin energy, it is also an extremely good gathering Yang house. Your words for relocation might be nonsense!"


    "..."


    Ye Chen''s words came out word by word, loud and clear.


    When these words sounded out, it was as though there was an invisible magic within those words, causing everyone present to feel a shock that came from the depths of their souls.


    Even Master Li was stunned by Ye Chen''s words. His face froze, and he could not let out another word.


    This wasn''t to say that he didn''t want to refute it, but rather, he was powerless to refute it!


    The faces of the people below the stage had changed a little after hearing what Ye Chen had said.


    First, it was disdainful, then it was surprised. After understanding the meaning behind it, it immediately turned into complete astonishment!


    Many people slowly opened their mouths. Their eyes were lifeless as they stared like zombies.


    As for the people that finally reacted, they gasped and let out a series of gasps.


    In this way, the so-called authority in their hearts was really a bunch of nonsense!


    "This ¡­"


    Chu Hejun could also see the reaction of some of the people present. He also knew a little about medicine. The profoundness and rigor of this young man''s words made him, who had spent his entire life trying to scrape and struggle with Chinese medicine, feel that he was inferior!


    That slightly frowning brow loosened slightly, and when he once again looked at the young man in the field, his eyes were filled with admiration and amazement.


    On the other hand, Duanmu Lei and Master Li''s expressions were so dark that blood could drip out of their wounds.


    Especially Master Li. As he felt the peculiar gazes from the surroundings, the arrogance and good face deep within his bones was magnified to the extreme at this moment.


    Whether he was right or wrong.


    But how could a grandmaster like him admit his wrongs in front of a brat like that?


    "Kid, do you know who I am? In the entire Yan Jing''s medical field, who doesn''t know my name? I have been studying abroad for dozens of years and have also studied Chinese medicine for decades. Since then, my subordinates have diagnosed countless difficult illnesses, cured tens of thousands of patients, given thousands of important cases and even won countless awards ¡­ My decades of experience, what do you have? "


    Master Li slammed his hand on the table, stood up and yelled at Ye Chen.


    If it was anyone else who was standing in front of him, they would definitely be completely overwhelmed by this aura.


    But, the one standing in front of him, was Ye Chen!


    "I''m fine."


    "I don''t have a medical degree."


    "I don''t have any medical experience, and I don''t have any honors, and I''m not a doctor."


    Ye Chen did not change his expression, he just spat out a few words calmly.


    "But this still can''t change the fact that you''re a quack doctor!"


    This young man''s words were like a thunderclap, exploding through the entire arena like a thunderclap. It was so shocking that Master Li was no longer able to retort!


    At this moment, his face and ears were flushed from the obstruction, but he could not find any reason to refute the words of the youth.


    The nearby Duanmu Lei''s expression turned completely grim. Here, he and Master Li had become a joke in the eyes of everyone!


    Before, he had wanted to use Master Li to owe the Chu Clan a favor, but now, it seemed that he had lost face for not paying the favor!


    "What is it? Do you need me to send you off again? Get lost already! "

 C40

    "Get lost? You''re the one who''s going to scram! Master Li is, after all, the head of the Chinese Medical Department at Yan Jing City Hospital, but you? "What are you?"


    Duanmu Lei could be said to be flustered and exasperated. In his panic, he grabbed onto this final straw of hope.


    It had to be said that his words had some effect, and it reminded the crowd once again.


    No matter how reasonable or rebuttable the youth''s words were, after all, he did not possess any fame or reputation. Compared to Master Li, the disparity in status was clear at a glance.


    "I am an authoritative figure in the medical field in Yan Jing city. The director of the Chinese Medical Department has also obtained everyone''s acknowledgement. As for you, who do you think you are!"


    Master Li seized this opportunity to catch his breath and immediately kicked his nose and face.


    He viciously used his status to prove his authority and words.


    "Exactly, no matter how much this kid says it, it''s still a bit of a waste of words, right?"


    "After all, the person he is facing is Great Master Li. This ¡­"


    "Although what he said makes some sense, but he doesn''t have much experience, right ¡­"


    The surrounding people were filled with doubts and ridicule, as if they had instantly changed their target.


    Even though Master Li was a little unreliable today, it did not prove that this young man, who only knew how to reason with medicine, had the ability to bring the dead back to life, as well as Hua Tuo!


    "Oh? The head of the Chinese Medical Department? "Very impressive?"


    Ye Chen calmly took out his phone, touched it with his fingertip, and sent a message.


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes were already focused on him. This action was naturally clearly seen by everyone.


    However, at a time like this, no one believed that this guy with no background could change anything with just a short message.


    Duanmu Lei stared at Ye Chen who had just sent a text message. The ridicule and contempt on his face was not concealed at all. He even could not help but laugh out loud.


    And the crowd around saw Ye Chen putting on an act, they could not help but feel a little scorn for him.


    "Could it be that I made a mistake?"


    Above the chief, Chu Hejun also revealed a face of suspicion, but there was also a hint of disappointment. Acting like a fatty at such a time did not match his previous demeanor.


    "Hahaha, Ye Chen, stop pretending!" With your background and contacts, do you think you can find anyone to prove your nonsense? Stop dreaming! "


    "The director of Yan Jing''s Chinese Medical Department. This position is something you cannot even touch!"


    "Ding Ding!"


    Before Duanmu Lei could finish his sentence, Master Li''s cell phone rang!


    When Master Li pressed the answer button, the first sentence that came out from it was clear and shocking. It directly caused this prideful head of the Chinese Medical Department to be stunned on the spot!


    "Chief Li, you can''t afford to offend that young man. You can''t compare with him!" He, Ye Chen, must be a rare genius in the medical field in a thousand years ¡­ "


    "Pah!"


    The mobile phone in his hand fell heavily onto the marble floor in a free fall. The cracks on the screen spread out like a spider web.


    However, as the person in question, Chief Li''s face turned deathly pale. Even his lips began to tremble. He tried his best to say something, but he couldn''t utter a single word!


    "You! "How is this possible!?"


    Duanmu Lei had also heard the voice coming from the other side of the phone. His complexion alternated between green and white.


    "Could it be?" How is that impossible? Now, do you still want to stay here, or get lost by yourselves? "


    Ye Chen stared at Duanmu Lei, who was standing in front of him, and Master Li, who had already turned pale.


    The two of them had long since lost the ability to resist!


    Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary youth would have such a high evaluation in front of the dean!


    When the two of them left with their tails between their legs, the crowd, who knew about the details, exploded into an uproar!


    There were gasps one after another!


    Ye Chen, who was not even twenty years of age, was a genius in medicine. Even Director Li could only avoid him.


    If such legendary figures were to be nurtured slightly, their future would definitely be unimaginable.


    For a time, all sorts of methods of roping in and fawning on came flooding in.


    Compared to the ridicule from before, his attitude had undergone a fundamental change.


    However, Ye Chen was not very interested in this anymore.


    The most important thing right now was still Chu Yuling''s condition. Although he could deny the treatment of this quack, Master Li, but he didn''t know anything about the details of the treatment.


    "Leaves..." "Master Ye, I, Chu Feng, have been too slow. I wonder if you can help me with my daughter''s illness ¡­"


    At the head of the group, Chu Hejun hesitantly interrupted.


    He was already rejoicing slightly. From the moment the youth entered the room, he did not utter a single word, nor did he show the slightest bit of disrespect to such a young master.


    "Take me to see it."


    Ye Chen slightly nodded towards Chu Hejun, nodding his head and replying.


    Even if it was for the sake of his good feelings and the friendship between the two of them, this time, he would not just stand by and watch them die.


    Led by Chu Hejun, Ye Chen soon arrived in the room where Chu Yuling was.


    The room of the young girl was extremely cozy. The pink tonal room had a touch of pure white and light blue, giving people a comfortable and tranquil feeling.


    On the soft princess bed, Chu Yuling was lying on top of a sickly bed with her eyes closed. Her delicate and fair face seemed to be covered with a tinge of grey, as if she had no vitality.


    "This is ¡­"


    Ye Chen''s eyes suddenly froze, and then he stared at the blue crystal bracelet on the girl''s wrist.


    This bracelet looked nothing special. The light blue four-leaf clover shaped crystal beads were connected one by one. The surface of the beads reflected a blue water color. When paired with the girl''s skin color, it was like adding flower to a flower.


    However, as Ye Chen stared at the bracelet, his face couldn''t help but sink a little. Even his eyebrows were starting to frown.


    "Master Ye, she''s..."


    Seeing the change in Ye Chen''s expression, Chu Hejun who was standing beside him also started to get nervous.


    From his previous performance until now, it seemed that this young man''s medical skills were not low at all. If even he could not do anything about it, then Chu Yuling''s condition would truly be desperate.


    "There''s a curse on her bracelet ¡­"

 C41

    Ye Chen stood still for a second, then took a big step forward, and without any hesitation, he grabbed that light blue crystal bracelet from the girl''s wrist.


    "Crack crack!"


    The frightening strength that suddenly erupted from his hand directly turned the bracelet that was tightly clenched into a pile of powder.


    Wisps of black smoke were emitted from the palm of the teenager, they were instantly gathered by Ye Chen and absorbed into the other palm.


    "This ¡­"


    On the side, Chu Hejun, who had not reacted yet, was completely stunned by this move of Ye Chen''s!


    Not to mention the hardness of the crystal, the way it had been crushed, the black air, and this godly technique, it was simply an amazing existence!


    If it was said that before he came in, he still had some doubts and uncertainty regarding the young man''s ability, then up until now, he no longer had that worry.


    Prepare a set of silver needles, three taels of leaves for Qi Lian, one tael of sea cucumber, ten White Bone Flowers, and then send the three Jade Lotus Hearts over to me.


    After Ye Chen had a look inside the girl''s body, he told Chu Hejun who was standing beside him about this.


    Actually, the additional curse on the bracelet was not that hard for Ye Chen to remove. It was just that the current Chu Yuling was too weak, so the forced method would not work anymore.


    "Alright, I''ll do it right away."


    Chu Hejun almost did not hesitate at all. Soon, he had brought all the things that Ye Chen needed.


    This room was also guarded by the Chu Clan and they did not dare to let anyone near.


    After all, to him, the current Ye Chen was his last hope to save Chu Yuling.


    In the room, Ye Chen gently pulled the blanket that was covering the girl with one hand. A unique fragrance wafted out as he ran his finger over the silver needles.


    It had to be said that the Chu Yuling in front of him was worthy of the title ''School Beauty''. Her proud figure and soft skin that was as white as snow had an alluring charm to it, no matter what time it was.


    The thin nightgown on her body could no longer cover up the scenery.


    "Apologies!"


    Ye Chen murmured to himself. He tapped lightly with his finger, and several silver needles shot out with great precision.


    Every time she moved, the silver needle would pierce all the acupuncture points on the girl''s body as if it had eyes.


    If someone who knew the way of the silver needles were to stand here, they would definitely be scared by the crazy actions of the youth and would scream repeatedly.


    Because, every time Ye Chen did the acupuncture, it was all on Chu Yuling''s Yin Qi. It was all on Huang Jian''s Death Acupuncture Point!


    In a place like this, even the slightest deviation would mean certain death. But for Ye Chen, it was all done with ease and proficiency.


    With Chu Yuling''s current physical condition, Ye Chen could only choose to first protect her heart veins, then use the medicinal bath to nurture her body. By injecting her Zhen Qi, he could slowly remove the remaining curse in his body.


    Traces of true energy followed the silver needles that Ye Chen had shot out, circulating within the girl''s body, causing her pale face to gradually regain some of its vitality.


    Seeing this, Ye Chen slightly let out a sigh of relief.


    However, this time, Ye Chen''s eliminating method was also very beneficial to his own cultivation.


    As long as his Nine Yang Saint Body was able to absorb and convert this Baleful Yin Force, then it would not be a small matter in order to raise his cultivation base.


    "Withdraw!"


    Ye Chen shouted out softly in his heart. The silver needles seemed to have understood what the teenager was talking about, as they flew back to him. In less than a minute, those needles had been placed in a neat row in the storage bag.


    Looking at the beautiful girl quietly lying on the bed, Ye Chen could not help but feel touched.


    However, his rationality was quickly suppressed. He stood up and picked up the sleeping beauty, then slowly walked towards the bathroom.


    Among them was the medicinal bath that he had prepared earlier.


    "Oh, you are ¡­"


    Just as Ye Chen was feeling that warm and fragrant breath, the girl in his arms let out a few moans.


    As her long eyelashes fluttered, her large watery eyes slowly opened as she stared at the youth that was hugging her.


    "Ye Chen, why are you ¡­"


    The young girl''s soft and weak voice was filled with shyness and surprise.


    For some reason, Chu Yuling did not have much caution when it came to this young man she had only met a few times.


    On the contrary, because of the youth''s outstanding performance and all sorts of myths and legends, she felt somewhat strange.


    "Don''t say anything for now, I''ll treat you. Since you''re awake, you can do it yourself ¡­"


    Ye Chen slowly put down the teenager in his arms, then pointed at the steamy bathtub in the bathroom.


    At this moment, the bathtub had already become a pool of medicinal liquid.


    After Ye Chen had carefully made it up, it was undoubtedly the most suitable treatment for girls right now.


    "Mm, yes, I ¡­" You, you go out first. "


    Traces of blush instantly covered Chu Yuling''s cheeks, and she slowly lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and did not dare to look at Ye Chen again.


    According to what Ye Chen had said before, if she did not wake up now, Ye Chen would have taken off her light nightgown for her.


    At the thought of this, the voice became timid.


    Separated by the thick water vapor, the young girl''s face was immediately moistened by the water droplets, making her seem even more bashful.


    "Alright, but I''ll need to help you treat it with the silver needles later. Therefore, I''ll be coming in again later ¡­"


    "You are not allowed to speak of what happened today. Otherwise ¡­"


    Chu Yuling seemed to suddenly remember something, as she mustered all her courage. As she said it, she even raised her little fist, as if she was going to give Ye Chen a warning.


    "Alright, alright. No problem."


    Ye Chen was also a bit embarrassed, he unconsciously touched his chin and answered.


    The youth turned around and walked out of the bathroom. Chu Yuling, who stayed behind, was blushing.


    In the end, even his ears became a bit redder.


    As a daughter of a rich family, she had always been known to be a princess in people''s hearts, even among her peers. But today, she had such a close relationship with Ye Chen.


    "Forget it, let''s just treat it as a treatment ¡­"


    Chu Yuling soaked in the medicinal liquid and felt her body recovering. However, she was actually consoling herself in her heart.


    However, the following treatment process still caused the relationship between the two of them to undergo a subtle change ¡­

 C42

    After solving the problem with Chu Yuling, Ye Chen politely declined her invitation and went back to the Source Control Pavilion alone.


    It had to be said that the treatment this time not only caused a subtle change in the relationship between the young girl and herself, but also gave her many benefits.


    Because of the Chu Family''s Ancient Spirit Pavilion, Ye Chen easily obtained the necessary herbs needed for his temporary training: the human bone flower, the Jade Ridge Vine, the Sea Jade Lotus and other supplementary herbs.


    With these herbs, Ye Chen was able to make some basic Spirit Concentrating Liquid by himself, which would definitely help him in his training.


    Within a few days, he had completely stabilized his cultivation at the peak of the Mid Mortal Realm Stage Two. He was only one step away from the Late Stage.


    However, if he wanted to increase his cultivation speed as soon as possible, these things were far from enough.


    After the weekend, Ye Chen came back to Beijing High School as usual.


    Even though Jun Yue''s restaurant had taught him a lesson, there wasn''t much of a difference between Zhao Manwei and Wang Gang. In fact, there was even a hint of hatred towards him.


    His troubles would not end like this.


    "Brother Ye, that Duanmu Lei sent you a written challenge, saying that he wants you to participate in the competition in his martial arts building again!"


    As soon as Ye Chen sat down, the fat guy beside him started to report.


    "Challenge?" "Is he trying to show that he''s not finished losing face last time?"


    Ye Chen was speechless.


    These people''s ability to find trouble was beyond his imagination.


    "This time, that Duanmu Lei has written a lot. This post has already been posted on the internet cafe and has been searched. It seems like he has a plan in mind."


    It was unknown when Zhao Mengsi had gotten close to him, but she weakly reminded him.


    However, ever since the incident at Jun Yue''s restaurant last time, Zhao Mengsi''s attitude towards Ye Chen had clearly changed.


    If it were in the past, he would never be so proactive and give a kind reminder.


    "I heard that the director of the martial arts school has returned. I don''t know what Duanmu Lei is planning to do. Why don''t you go?"


    Liu Ying Ying held her head up high and reminded her with a worried expression.


    If he did not have complete confidence in Duanmu Lei, who had already lost face once, how could he be willing to attack again?


    "That''s right, Ye Chen, I would advise you to be like a turtle hiding your head. This time, you are not the opponent, and besides, if you did not take advantage of the situation last time, you would not have been able to win against that Xue Daisha."


    Before Ye Chen could open his mouth to say anything, a sarcastic voice came from the side.


    Her shrewish tone was completely in line with Wang Ziyi''s image.


    "To tell you the truth, even if the curator is back, he still wants to see what abilities our Hero Ye has. Oh, no, it should be Ye Kui Xiong."


    Han Cheng showed a sneer and mocked without stinginess.


    Ever since that incident last time, although they had lost a lot of face at Jun Yue''s restaurant, it did not mean that Ye Chen would become a phoenix in one leap.


    The birth, background, and strength of a youth would forever be the object of their ridicule.


    "Are you all bored?"


    The fatty could not bear to see these people with long mouths, so he could not help but shout out loud.


    But for Han City, they didn''t even look at it.


    Even Ye Chen was not afraid of him, not to mention one of Ye Chen''s brothers.


    Hearing Han Cheng say this, Liu Ying Ying became even more worried.


    The director of their dojo was not someone who lived up to his name. If that Duanmu Lei really wanted to fight, it would be troublesome.


    "Ye Chen, you ¡­"


    "Go, how can I not go? If I don''t go, then won''t you bunch of lackeys scream in my ears every day?"


    Ye Chen waved his hand, interrupting Liu Yingying''s words.


    However, the words'' lackey ''made Wang Ziyi, Han Cheng, and the others'' teeth itch in anger.


    All of them gnashed their teeth and rubbed their palms together. They could not wait to rush up and teach Ye Chen a lesson, but because of their power, they did not have the guts to do so.


    "Besides, since that Duanmu Lei wants to be slapped once more, I don''t mind kicking him again." Director? So what? I still can''t change the fact that you guys are trash! "


    Ye Chen shouted again, causing Wang Ziyi''s face to turn purple.


    To dare to insult Duanmu Lei in front of her, Ye Chen was definitely the first and last person she had ever seen in her life.


    "You! Let''s wait and see. I want to see just how long you can continue being so arrogant! "


    Wang Ziyi glared at Ye Chen, but still did not dare to make any other move. She just left like that. Needless to say, Ye Chen knew that this guy had gone to inform Duanmu Lei, who was in the next class.


    "Brother Ye, are you sure you want to go?" This time around, it''s not that simple, huh? "


    The fat man looked at Ye Chen once again with a suspicious look in his eyes. Although he knew that this brother of his was quite capable, he was not joking this time.


    Even outside of Beijing High School, the director of Beijing High School''s Dojo of Limits was a well-known figure, let alone in school.


    This was something that the school had hired from a martial arts family in order to help strengthen the student''s physique.


    In the years he was here, Yan Jing High had produced five black belt Taekwondo contestants, eight provincial champions, and two seeded participants in national competitions. They had won a lot of honor for Yan Jing High.


    Speaking of which, Duanmu Lei could not be considered the most powerful student under his command.


    Even if those people were to fight with Ye Chen, it would still be hard to predict. Moreover, from his tone this time, the director was planning to fight by himself?


    This was exactly what it meant by bullying the weak. If he still went, it would be like seeing a ghost, but Ye Chen ¡­


    "It''s nothing, I just want to move my body. It''s okay to fight with these people."


    Ye Chen looked extremely calm.


    He was the exalted Immortal Emperor of a foreign world. What have he not seen before? For such a small match, he would not be able to scare himself.


    Not to mention, this time he could practice and see how much his strength had improved recently.


    "Ai, Ying Ying, looks like you can''t persuade me to come back. Is this guy crazy? Aren''t we just going to die? "


    Zhao Mengsi speechlessly spread out her hands towards Liu Yingying, expressing the speechlessness in her heart.


    "In that case, let''s follow them and take a look. Hopefully, the instructor will show mercy ¡­"


    The girl''s beautiful eyes flashed, as she seemed to be thinking about something. Looking at Ye Chen, her eyes seemed to be filled with worry and love ¡­

 C43

    Ever since Duanmu Lei made this challenge to Ye Chen public on the internet, this piece of news had become even more popular than the rumors about the school beauty Chu Yuling.


    The direct result was that this afternoon''s Yan Jing High School Stadium was exceptionally lively.


    It was not even two o''clock before the entrance of the gymnasium was crowded with people. This time, it was much hotter than the first time Ye Chen challenged Duanmu Lei.


    Because of the excitement from before, it had made this competition even more interesting. There were also rumors that this time, Ye Chen was going to challenge the director of the training hall, who was also the coach in charge of the gymnasium in Beijing High School.


    This was without a doubt, more explosive news!


    According to the schedule for this afternoon''s classes, the students who had chosen the Taekwondo course would also be trained personally by the instructor. This kind of course had always been one of the top classes in the school.


    "Everyone, stand at attention. Today, I want to test your fist techniques!"


    On the square, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man ordered with an incomparably domineering tone.


    He was a big man who was around 1.8 meters tall. He wore a black-coloured tight tight suit, and the lines of his muscles were clearly outlined. The muscles on his upper body bulged, revealing his sturdy figure.


    If this was according to the current standards, he would definitely be a stably built man with eight abs. As soon as he appeared, he had already caused the girls below the stage to scream in infatuation.


    "Come, Duanmu Lei, show me the results of your two months of practice."


    Director Hong pointed at Duanmu Lei, who was standing in the front row, and instructed.


    It had to be said that although Duanmu Lei wasn''t the student that he was the most proud of, he was definitely a good seedling in this group. As long as he was nurtured a bit, his future would definitely be limitless.


    "Wah!" Brother Duanmu is out! "


    "That''s right, Brother Duanmu is indeed powerful!" And it was even the first demonstration! "


    The moment Duanmu Lei stood out, the cheers from below the stage reached a climax once again.


    This made Duanmu Lei, who was in the middle of it, unable to stop the corner of his mouth from twitching. In his heart, he felt even more proud and complacent.


    He raised his hand, bowed, and struck out with his fist.


    The most basic set of military boxing style could be described as smooth and vigorous.


    As he turned around, the wind created from that punch gave off a rippling feeling.


    Many people were staring with their mouths agape.


    As for those infatuated cheers, they went on and on, never stopping.


    "Hah!"


    When Duanmu Lei''s final punch landed, the force behind it and the force behind it caused him to be unable to restrain himself from shouting out explosively.


    Seeing this, Director Hong''s face revealed a gratified expression. The stern and solemn expression on his face instantly relaxed. When he once again looked at Duanmu Lei, he could not help but clap and repeatedly praise him.


    "Good, good. Duanmu, I didn''t think that your fist technique would have such a great progress. This is definitely one of the best among the younger generation."


    Upon hearing the instructor''s praise, Duanmu Lei''s face lit up.


    The pride in his heart swelled up all of a sudden.


    "Slow punching, weak punching, messy footwork, full of flaws ¡­ Can this even count as a good punching routine?"


    "He is one of the best of his peers. In my opinion, the best of the best are among the primary school students!"


    The sudden appearance of an indifferent tone immediately caused the atmosphere in the stadium to freeze.


    The arrogance and pride that had just emerged on Duanmu Lei''s face instantly vanished into thin air. Instead, it was replaced by a boundless anger that came from the bottom of his heart!


    "Who is that person?" "Ye Chen!"


    "F * ck, this kid finally came. I thought he wanted to be a turtle hiding in its shell!"


    "He''s just looking to die. Look at who the hell is in front of him, and how dare he act so arrogantly here!"


    The audience broke out into a flurry of discussion as they watched the young man slowly walk towards the arena. It was as if they were looking at a fool.


    Even if he was powerful and capable, could his qualifications compare to that national coach? Then how could he know more than others? What a joke.


    "You! Don''t try to make sarcastic remarks here. If you have the ability, come up and try yourself. "


    Duanmu Lei''s expression immediately changed as he stared at Ye Chen fiercely.


    Anyone who dared to slap their face at such a time would not be able to swallow this insult.


    "Are you that Ye Chen from before?" "He''s not that tall at such a young age, but his temper and airs are pretty big, isn''t he?"


    Director Hong threw a cold glance at Ye Chen who was standing right in front of him. He was looking down on him, but he could not get rid of the anger that was rising up from the bottom of his heart.


    The Hong family was the legacy of a hundred year old martial arts family. He had trained in martial arts since he was young, entered the city at the age of ten, entered the provincial team at the age of twelve, and entered the national team at the age of fifteen.


    After being in the martial arts world for so many years, he was already an outstanding existence.


    How could his authority be questioned by this brat in front of him who wasn''t even twenty?


    "Try it? You? "Not yet!"


    Ye Chen''s face sank, but he remained calm.


    But if he spit it out, he could make Duanmu Lei cough up blood!


    Who was this Duanmu Lei?


    In this school, no matter when, he would be able to be ranked as one of the top five experts.


    If not for the appearance of Xue Daisha last time, he would have had a historical record of complete victory.


    In the end, he was actually told that he didn''t have the qualifications to do so!


    "You!"


    Duanmu Lei was so angry that he was about to explode on the spot. However, when he thought back to the terrifying strength the youth displayed when he fought Xue Dai Sha, he held back the impulse to attack.


    Originally, he had no intention of taking care of this kid himself.


    "Good, good!" As expected of the future of the Yangtze River! "


    With a single stride, his aura suddenly exploded and his face returned to his previous fierceness and majesty.


    This person dared to slap his and his prized disciples'' faces in front of everyone. How could he endure this?


    "Good boy, since you are so blind, let me teach you today what is called the true Chinese martial arts!"


    His words were like a roar that shook the sky and his momentum was like a rainbow.


    All of a sudden, even the chattering crowd in the stands were completely stunned.


    One by one, gazes turned towards Director Hong. Looking at his bulging muscles and muscular body, coupled with his imposing manner, all he could think of was this.


    Strong!


    This person was very strong!


    In comparison, the one in front of Ye Chen, who was about 1.7m tall and had a skinny body, looked like a dwarf.


    There was practically no suspense in this match ¡­

 C44

    Just as they were at a standoff, the mocking voices from the viewing gallery rang out one after another.


    Towards Ye Chen''s overconfident actions, it was no different from courting death.


    "Hehe, does this guy really think he can be unrivalled in this world? Not long ago, he took care of a Japanese and made him act arrogantly!"


    Wang Ziyi glanced at Ye Chen in disdain, and mocked him coldly.


    "This bastard really needs to be tidied up. Let''s see how arrogant he can be today!"


    Zhao Manwei, Wang Gang and the others also agreed. None of them would think well of Ye Chen.


    There was probably no one else in the entire Yan Jing who would dare to duel with the curator.


    "If you stop making sarcastic remarks, will you die?"


    Just as these people were taunting them, Zhao Mengsi coldly refuted them, which caused them to be taken aback.


    But then, an even more vicious taunt came back.


    "The two of you really are good friends?" One who has been tamed, the other who has begun to speak up for others? "


    Wang Ziyi had a venomous tongue, as if she wanted to bite anyone before letting go.


    "Tsk tsk tsk, this kid sure has good luck with women, even if he eats soft food!"


    "He''s simply a scum!"


    Seeing Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng Si proactively speak up for the young man, the stage was immediately filled with excitement.


    When this news reached the ears of Duanmu Lei and the others, it was undoubtedly the greatest news.


    Their goal today, was to completely destroy Ye Chen here, so that this little brat would never be able to stand up again!


    Hearing the bursts of ridicule from the surroundings and the shout of the instructor Hong in front of him, the young man seemed extremely calm and collected, as if everything was within his expectations.


    He slowly took two steps forward and casually glanced at everyone who was still standing on the field. His words made the entire stadium fall into a deathly silence once again!


    "All of you, attack together!"


    "As long as you can keep me here today, I, Ye Chen, will lose this time!"


    Ye Chen''s voice was still calm.


    However, as soon as he said that, not to mention the people on the stage who were mocking Ye Chen, even the fat guy, Zhao Meng Si and the other people who were hoping for nothing from Ye Chen had almost broken down!


    Aside from the curator, there were a total of over forty students. Among them, there were more than ten with black belts and even more powerful than Duanmu Lei.


    Plus, there was an existence on the level of the curator. Not to mention fighting, even if he ran away, he would not be able to escape!


    "F * ck, Brother Ye, are you crazy!"


    In the stands, the fatty almost cursed out loud.


    It would be a bit unrealistic to say that he was a solo director, but now he had gone crazy.


    One on one against all the people in the martial arts building? Who would have the guts!


    Whoosh whoosh!


    Laughter immediately exploded from the stands like thunder.


    Now, Han City, Zhao Chengwei, and the others were truly overjoyed.


    Previously, he was prepared to let this instructor teach Ye Chen a lesson. But now, it seems that this result is even more satisfying.


    One man against all the people, seeking death!


    "Meng Si ¡­"


    Liu Ying Ying was somewhat speechless as she called out to her best friend beside her. Her face was full of anxiety and worry and she almost squeezed out tears.


    She really did not want Ye Chen to be harmed in this battle.


    "Sigh, there''s no other way. He asked for it."


    Zhao Mengsi could only spread out her hands and stared at the scene. Both of them could only pray that this young man would be able to create another miracle.


    "Brat, don''t be too arrogant! Do you know who I am! "


    Being provoked and looked down upon in such a manner, this time, even Director Hong was truly angered.


    No matter what, he was still a top figure in the world of martial arts. Who would have thought that he would be looked down upon by this young man today!


    "Director, teach him a lesson!"


    "That''s right, don''t hold back. Today, we have to properly deal with this arrogant brat!"


    "Ye Chen, you are the one who is courting death!"


    The noise from the stands had completely drowned out Ye Chen, while the aura from Director Hong''s body was getting more and more violent.


    From the looks of it, letting Ye Chen go today was already an impossible task.


    "Make your move. I''m too lazy to bother with your nonsense."


    Ye Chen waved his hand, ignoring the words of Director Hong, who was trying to put on an old front.


    With just a glance, the young man in front of him was able to see through him.


    In the outside world, a Early Second Sky of Body Tempering Realm martial artist could be considered as a formidable opponent. But unfortunately, with this kind of power, in front of Ye Chen, he was nothing more than a piece of trash!


    "Good, then let me teach you, an arrogant disciple, today!"


    With a roar, Director Hong''s aura instantly reached its peak!


    This time, he was really angry, and did not plan to hold back in front of Ye Chen. After all, in his eyes, a kid like Ye Chen who did not know his place could only use his power to intimidate others!


    He bent his body slightly, and rushed towards Ye Chen like a mad rhinoceros.


    Even though they did not actually attack, the strong inner force fluctuations that they felt were comparable to those that ordinary people had already caused the people on the stage to click their tongues in wonder.


    As for Ye Chen, his expression did not change as he stared at Director Hong in front of him. This made Zhao Meng and the others even more terrified. If they were hit, it would definitely not be a joke.


    "Humph!" However, do you only know how to talk!? "


    Director Hong let out a cold snort. He suddenly took a step forward and immediately stopped. His fist, which was the size of a claypot, had already accumulated power and struck out.


    With the help of the momentum of the dive and the twisting of his body, as well as the help of his Qi, this punch was almost like a sharp sound as it flew towards Ye Chen who was standing in front of him!


    "This punch ¡­" "Director Hong is indeed powerful!"


    Duanmu Lei and the others couldn''t help but exclaim in surprise.


    It has to be said that the fist technique and martial dao attainments, Hong has already reached a pinnacle level.


    This punch that showed off all of one''s strength was enough to shock everyone here!


    Let alone the young man, even among the younger generation members of Director Hong''s department, there were probably only a few who could handle it.


    "Hahaha, this kid is simply courting death!"


    "That''s right, stupid!"


    "Not f * cking dodging? Isn''t that just courting death?"


    Before the fist had even landed, the waves of ridiculing voices exploded out.


    This was especially true for Duanmu Lei, Wang Ziyi, Zhao Chengwei, and the others.


    Boom!


    As the low sonic boom rang out, a black shadow flew backwards like a kite with its string cut. It streaked across the wooden floor of the gymnasium for nearly ten meters before slowly coming to a stop.


    However, the human figure that flew out was not the Ye Chen that everyone had expected, but the Director Hong!


    At this moment, the curator no longer had any of his previous majesty.


    His clothes were torn, his face was pale, and a dark red color overflowed from the corners of his mouth. His entire body was spread out like a dead dog.


    On the other hand, the young man in the ring was still maintaining his stance of punching out. He had only taken half a step back after taking the full force of the punch!


    "This!" "How is this possible!?"


    All of a sudden, the place became deathly silent. Everyone''s faces stiffened, no longer able to utter a single word!


    The shock that echoed in everyone''s hearts was something that could not be forgotten for a long time!


    Who would have thought that the youth''s strength would be so terrifying ¡­

 C45

    The group, who had been mocking Ye Chen earlier, now opened their mouths wide enough for an egg to be stuffed in.


    This kind of ending, not to mention them, even the fat guy, Liu Ying Ying, and a few others beside Ye Chen had never thought about it!


    Soon after, the sounds of people inhaling cold air came one after another.


    Of course, the ones with the ugliest expressions were naturally Duanmu Lei, who was standing in the middle, and Wang Ziyi, who had taken the lead to mock him earlier.


    Wang Ziyi''s face alternated between green and white as she stood rooted to the spot. Her heavily made-up face carried an endless amount of anger, but she could only bite her lips and not utter a single word!


    As for Duanmu Lei, he was already scared silly!


    Looking at the hero and target in his heart, Director Hong finally realized that Ye Chen had never treated him as an opponent before, after he was casually punched like a dog by Ye Chen.


    If Ye Chen had displayed this kind of power from the beginning, Duanmu Lei would not even have the courage to stand in front of Ye Chen, let alone fight back.


    Thinking of this, he felt a chill down his spine, and even his legs began to tremble.


    "How is it? What about the rest of you? It''s still a war of attrition. I''m in a hurry. "


    Ye Chen glanced at Director Hong indifferently, his tone was still as calm as before.


    He lazily looked at the students who were frightened to the point where they didn''t even dare to breathe as he casually reminded them.


    "You!"


    Duanmu Lei was so angry that his teeth were chattering, but he did not dare to say another word!


    This was because the current him was courting death.


    If these people were to fight, in Ye Chen''s eyes, they would be nothing more than a bunch of small fries.


    "Looks like I don''t dare to? Your so-called martial dao and boxing skills are only mediocre. Since you don''t have this kind of strength and courage, don''t call yourself a Chinese martial artist. You all have simply insulted this phrase! "


    "With your current level, you are still delusional enough to want to teach me, Ye Chen. Sorry, you are not qualified!"


    Ye Chen''s voice echoed in the gymnasium once again.


    The last few words ruthlessly slapped Duanmu Lei and Director Hong''s faces!


    At the beginning, he had thought himself to be arrogant, but now, he was in a sorry state. All of this was just a matter of himself.


    "F * ck, Brother Ye you ¡­"


    In the stands, the fatty was already dumbfounded by what he saw.


    This time, he had truly witnessed his big brother''s tyrannical and incomparable strength.


    This was a huge difference compared to the Ye Chen from before!


    "Ying Ying, I have to say, your taste is really good!"


    Zhao Mengsi meaningfully patted the shoulder of her best friend. This time, she was truly convinced by this young man.


    Steady, deep, upright, calm in the face of danger, strong and domineering.


    There were all sorts of characteristics that could not be seen in people of the same age. On the young man''s body, there was a whole bunch of them!


    Liu Ying Ying Ying stared at the youth in the arena, and her beautiful eyes flashed with a bit of admiration and gentleness.


    Which family''s young girl was not in love?


    Ye Chen was a reserved and calm person, but he was also a powerful warrior, without a doubt he was one of the best among his peers!


    "Fatty, let''s go and eat."


    Ye Chen almost did not even bother to look at the rest of the people. He called out to the fat guy on the stage, turned around and walked towards the door as if nothing had happened.


    This attitude was as if nothing had happened before.


    What was left behind was only a thin back, as well as the silence and shock that filled the entire stadium!


    From now on, Ye Chen''s name would definitely become a legendary existence in Beijing High School.


    And the guy named Duanmu was just a stepping stone for this teenager named Ye Chen.


    Of course, in the bottom of Ye Chen''s heart, he had never really cared about these things.


    A small figure like Duanmu Lei was never worthy to be a match for this youth.


    What Ye Chen was concerned about was the improvement of his training speed.


    With how fast Wang Lin was cultivating, it would be a fantasy if he still wanted to reach the peak of this world in his current life.


    It was like a dream, but also like reality.


    No matter what, this could only be verified by reaching that height once more.


    After resting for a few days, Ye Chen''s cultivation had fully stabilized at the bottleneck of the peak of the Mid Mortal Realm Stage Two.


    He was only a tiny bit away from reaching the advanced stage of the Mortal Realm Stage 2.


    "It seems that I have to speed up my training. If I were to step into the late stage of the Second Sky of Mortal Realm, I should be able to master the first move of my Supreme Qi Chaos Formula thoroughly. The Spiritual Skills I grasp will allow me to increase my strength once again."


    Ye Chen thought to himself.


    With each breakthrough of the Supreme Yi Primal Chaos Formula, one would be able to grasp its profoundness and comprehend its essence and techniques.


    The spirit techniques contained within this ancient technique were not as simple as the Ling Shadow Steps that he had seen in the Su Clan.


    Every move and every move, if they were at their peak, they could split the mountains and move the earth to fill the seas. Of course, if they wanted to reach that level, it wouldn''t be done overnight.


    Moreover, the difficulty of cultivation and the spiritual energy resources required were not things that could be satisfied with the current situation.


    Even though he had experienced a lot of fortuitous encounters in the foreign world, he was still unable to cultivate this spell to its peak.


    After a while of resting and calming himself down, Ye Chen packed up and prepared to leave as usual.


    Today wasn''t the day to go straight to school. This was because he had promised Liu Yingying that he would accompany her to buy some things, so he had made an appointment.


    According to Ye Chen''s guess, it should be the preparations for the birthday banquet that he had mentioned earlier.


    Both sides agreed to meet at the entrance of Century Plaza, which was a commercial street in the bustling area of Yan Jing city. It was also a place where many young men and women, rich and powerful, often came to.


    "Ye Chen, you are so punctual. Let''s go."


    The moment the youth appeared, a tender and gentle voice filled with happiness transmitted over.


    The Liu Ying Ying today was wearing a white cartoon shirt. The pink bear doll on top of it was especially adorable, and the miniskirt that was shorter than the knee revealed a large portion of her slender legs.


    This kind of dressing, even just by standing on the street, was enough to attract countless gazes.


    As for Ye Chen walking beside her, that naturally attracted a lot of hate.


    Today, both Zhao Mengsi and the fat guy didn''t want to follow them because they didn''t want to be the electric light bulb.


    On the other hand, Ye Chen and Liu Yingying seemed to be a couple in a private meeting.

 C46

    Liu Ying Ying, who was originally like an iceberg, appeared extremely lively and cute in front of the youth.


    Along the way, the two of them could be said to be talking and laughing, causing the bystander to be extremely envious.


    After all, with such a great beauty by his side, he would definitely become the center of attention in a place with so many people.


    And Ye Chen did not care much about his clothes, it seemed like a natural thing to do, but it was definitely not the style of a rich family, which made many people even more jealous.


    "Ye Chen, let''s go over there. I want to buy a bracelet."


    After the two walked around for a while, Liu Ying Ying pointed at a shop called Jade Jewel Pavilion and said to Ye Chen who was beside her.


    The youth nodded, but he didn''t have any intention of refusing.


    Originally, the reason he went out today was to accompany Liu Ying Ying shopping. He also wanted to try his luck and find something that he needed.


    As soon as he entered the pavilion, Ye Chen could not help but frown at the noisy scene in front of him.


    This was indeed a jewelry store, but the furnishings made it look more like a rock gambling shop.


    On one side of the storefront, there were all sorts of different colored jades and jewelry. On the other side, there were all sorts of different shapes and sizes of ores. At a glance, there were all kinds of oddly-shaped stones.


    "This batch was just imported from Maine. Look at the quality of this material, it''s really good. I guarantee it will give out jade. Please don''t miss it when you pass by!"


    Inside the shop, the waiter shouted with all his might.


    Ye Chen had been familiar with gambling before. What he could understand about this kind of thing was that it involved a lot of families. What he could not understand was the feeling of going bankrupt. What he was playing with was that kind of thrilling feeling.


    "This is ¡­"


    Just as Ye Chen was about to look away, there was a faint aura of spirit power, which made the teenager happy.


    Right after that, Ye Chen stared at an inconspicuous stone in the corner of the counter, as if he could tell something from it.


    "What kind of stone do you like? Why don''t we go and give it a try?"


    Seeing that, Liu Ying Ying blinked her big, watery eyes and said to Ye Chen.


    Ye Chen had been accompanying him for a long time, so he naturally had to help him look at some things as well.


    "Yo, Young Master Duanmu, Master Chen, what brings you here today?" Quick, invite him in! "


    As Ye Chen and Xia Xinyan were walking towards the rock gambling den, a loud noise came from the door, making the atmosphere in the hall even more lively.


    The group of attendants put down their work and respectfully greeted Duanmu Lei at the entrance.


    From the looks of it, the reputation of the Duanmu family here was not low at all.


    Before Liu Yingying could react, Duanmu Lei and the rest first noticed their presence.


    She naturally knew that the two of them were like fire and water, but it was too late for her to speak up.


    "Ye Chen, I can really bump into you no matter where I go!" What? You want to bring a woman to play with the stones? "


    Before Ye Chen could turn around, he heard a sarcastic sneer coming over.


    Today, besides the white-haired old man whom the waiter called Elder Chen, Duanmu Lei also had a group of black-clothed bodyguards behind him.


    From the looks of it, it was the appearance of a rich family''s young master.


    With all these support, Duanmu Lei was not afraid of Ye Chen at all!


    "Only Young Master Duanmu can come here, we can''t!"


    Liu Ying Ying snorted coldly. She glared at Duanmu Lei and retorted.


    Towards this fellow, the young girl didn''t have a shred of good will towards him.


    "Lady Liu, don''t be fooled by this kid. He is just a delinquent little hoodlum who knows nothing at all. If you follow him blindly, you will suffer sooner or later!"


    "Also, the rest of them might be afraid of your identity, but I, Duanmu Lei, will never do that. You''d better be obedient!"


    Duanmu Lei mocked and warned Liu Yingying in front of him.


    Their Duanmu Clan was also a powerhouse in Yan Jing. In fact, it could be said that they were the top second-rate powers.


    Their jade and jewellery industries monopolized the entire Yan Jing city.


    "You! Don''t slander us! "


    After all, Liu Yingying''s aura was limited, not as domineering or as domineering as Duanmu Lei''s.


    The tense atmosphere attracted the attention of everyone else.


    All of a sudden, Ye Chen, who was standing right next to Liu Yingying and had not said a single word, had become the center of attention.


    "This kid is the hoodlum that Young Master Duanmu spoke of?" "He really does look like a hoodlum."


    "Look at those clothes and shoes, are they comparable to Young Master Duanmu?"


    "Ai, this person is like a flower stuck in cow dung when paired with that great beauty beside him ¡­"


    The crowd''s vicious mockery and ridicule instantly drowned the two of them out.


    After all, most of the people who came to this stone gambling market were from the business world, and some of the influential people in the political world. The people who were the most despised and despised by the upper class were the lowly people like Ye Chen, who only wanted to eat swan meat!


    "You ¡­"


    Just as Liu Ying Ying was about to retort, her soft, boneless hand was held by another hand.


    The young man''s face was as dark as water, and did not change at all from the provocation and ridicule in front of him.


    To Ye Chen, the cries of these flies were just the result of him casually patting them to death. There was no need to waste this time, it had even dirtied his own hands.


    They had looked down on Ye Chen, but they had never expected that Ye Chen would also look down on them.


    "Boss, I want that piece of stone over there."


    Ye Chen pointed at an inconspicuous piece of stone in the corner, as he slowly said that, completely ignoring Duanmu Lei''s sneer.


    "This ¡­"


    On the other hand, the black-bearded middle-aged owner was stunned.


    From Young Master Duanmu''s posture, it seemed that this poor kid before him was just a little hooligan with no background. Not to mention whether he could afford to pay for the stones, if he offended the Duanmu family, it would not be a joke.


    After all, a small shop like theirs could not afford to go through all this trouble.


    "You also want this side character that others don''t even want. It looks like, Ye Chen, the stone you chose, really fits your status!"


    Seeing that Ye Chen had chosen that kind of stone, Duanmu Lei, who knew some stone-gambling techniques, became even more disdainful.


    Usually, experts would choose stones with clear patterns, thin skin, and slippery skin. This kind of stone would easily yield jade, but this time, Ye Chen chose a piece of stone-like material with uneven edges. From the fact that it was abandoned, one could see the value of this stone.


    "Oh? Since Young Master Duanmu is so interested, why don''t we gamble again? "If you lose, from today onwards, you will see me and scram!"

 C47

    Ye Chen said indifferently, he did not even look at Duanmu Lei.


    Such a disdainful attitude and completely unyielding tone made a lot of people stare at Ye Chen who was on the side, as if they were watching a good show.


    Some of them even started to look at Ye Chen as if he was an idiot. On their faces, there was even more fake pity.


    In this commercial street, the only person who dared to treat the young master of the big boss of the Jadestone World in such a manner was probably the young man in front of him.


    "This kid is really reckless. He even dares to talk to Young Master Duanmu in such a manner!"


    "That''s right. You still want to bet with Duanmu Huanghun? Why don''t you try your luck?"


    "Betting with a Young Master of the Dragon Head Family of the Jadestone World, and even betting on rocks? Is he a f * cking madman?"


    Many people could not help but mock him.


    Even though Ye Chen had yet to say what he wanted to bet, but anyone with a brain could guess that this young man wanted to bet that he could get his jade out of this ordinary stone.


    Good, you have guts. Don''t say that I''m bullying others. I suggest that you take a look at who''s by my side before deciding whether or not to gamble.


    Duanmu Lei raised his chin in a taunting manner.


    The white-haired elder beside him, on the other hand, took the initiative to lean forward. His indistinct arrogance and contempt was not the slightest bit inferior to Duanmu Lei''s.


    This person was none other than Elder Chen.


    "That stone is just a defective corner. Its skin is wrinkled, its texture is blurry, and it is clearly broken. This stone is a typical waste water stone in the ancient times of the Maine. Let alone jade, you can''t even think of seeing jade chips."


    Elder Chen stroked his beard, acting like an old man, completely ignoring Ye Chen who was standing right in front of him.


    "Young man, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. You don''t have the qualifications to compete with our Duanmu Clan. As for jade, I have seen a lot of boys like you who like to show off. "


    After saying that, Elder Chen did not forget to say a few words to Ye Chen.


    With his status and identity, there was no need for him to comment on such matters.


    However, since the crowd wanted to oppose Young Master Duanmu, it was only to make an exception and give Young Master Duanmu a few words of praise.


    "As expected of the chief appraiser of the Duanmu family. His insight is truly sharp!"


    "Yeah, if I could get the guidance of a master like Elder Chen, I might have become rich a long time ago!"


    "Elder Chen really lives up to his reputation!"


    The discussions and flattery that followed could be said to be endless.


    Naturally, everyone held some respect towards the dragon head of the Jadestone World.


    As for Ye Chen, an unknown brat who did not know his place at all, he was undoubtedly the target of people''s disdain.


    "I only want this piece of stone."


    Ye Chen did not look back. His tone was still as calm as before. There was not even the slightest bit of hesitation or doubt because of Elder Chen''s comment.


    "Ok, boss, cut it for him. I want to see what kind of tricks you can play today!"


    Duanmu Lei laughed maniacally.


    At this moment, he was a hundred percent sure that he would win this time around.


    And the face that he had lost in front of Ye Chen earlier, could now be used as an opportunity to humiliate him!


    The master stone slicer, who had already been prepared, started to carefully cut the skin on the side.


    This was also a skill. If he wasn''t careful, he could lose the jade in his hands.


    One slash, two slashes, three slashes.


    Other than the broken rocks, there was almost nothing else that remained from the slicing, let alone some sort of jade.


    With each stroke, the sounds of ridicule around him would grow stronger and stronger.


    At this point, the time of his death wasn''t far off.


    However, this was normal, since he dared to be arrogant in front of Elder Chen. Wasn''t this the same as playing with a hatchet in front of Lu Ben?


    "Hehe, Ye Chen, where is your jade?" Why didn''t I see anything? "


    "If you lose, in consideration of your classmates, why don''t you kowtow and call me grandpa and I''ll let you go? What do you say?"


    Duanmu Lei raised his eyebrows. At this moment, his tail was almost reaching the sky.


    "Ye Chen, we..."


    Liu Yingying, who was at the side, couldn''t help but pull at the corner of the young man''s shirt. Her face was filled with worry.


    Although she didn''t know much about stone gambling, but looking at the current situation, how could the extremely intelligent her not understand?


    If that Duanmu Lei had won, how could he let Ye Chen off so easily?


    When that time came, the outcome of his love would not end well.


    Especially when the young girl saw the row of black-clothed men behind Duanmu Lei, she could not help but feel fear.


    "It''s fine, just watch obediently."


    Ye Chen looked extremely calm. He casually reached out his hand to stroke the girl''s black hair on her forehead, and revealed a faint smile.


    This unintentional act of intimacy actually caused the young girl''s cheeks to turn scarlet in an instant.


    However, in the eyes of others, this was the same as slapping yourself in the face to make you fat!


    "Tch!" This brat can really be pretentious, and he''s still taking care of his girlfriend! "


    "This girl is so pretty, how can she be blind and take a fancy to this kind of people!"


    "Exactly, let''s see how he will continue acting later!"


    The people in the circle were all talking to each other with murderous looks in their eyes.


    Most of them had more authority and money than the young man. However, they did not have Liu Yingying''s beautiful company. They were naturally envious.


    "Ye Chen, you!"


    When Duanmu Lei saw that the youth had completely ignored him, he was slightly angered.


    But after all, he had seen Ye Chen''s power, and he did not want any mishap to happen at this critical moment.


    Once the stone was completely cut, the youth would become a prisoner!


    Crack!


    Another slash. This rock was less than one-third of its original size.


    With such a small space, even the Eviscerator was about to give up, much less the others.


    Generally speaking, at this point, one could already consider himself unlucky.


    This time, nothing was cut out.


    "Ye Chen, what else do you have to say for yourself?"


    Duanmu Lei stood at the side with an incomparable bearing look on his face. Elder Chen also had an expression of expectation, as if there was nothing he didn''t know.


    In terms of jade and stone, he was an absolute expert. How could he lose to this troublesome brat in front of him?


    "Ye Chen!"


    Liu Yingying was so anxious that tears were about to fall. Although she had been comforted by the youth, she still hadn''t seen any jade yet!


    If he lost ¡­


    "Pah!"


    All of a sudden, Ye Chen took a big step forward. His Zhen Qi started to surge, and that palm attack, which had the sound of breaking through the air, landed right on that ore!


    Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. To use a palm stone like this, wasn''t this equivalent to courting death?


    What followed closely was naturally the laughter of the entire audience!


    Duanmu Lei''s face was full of mockery. This time, Ye Chen had humiliated himself to the extreme.


    "Hahaha, don''t tell me you think you can still use ¡­"


    However, in the next moment, the laughter came to an abrupt stop. A bright red light flashed in the field, causing the entire arena to turn deathly silent!


    "How could that be!?" Look, the jade is out! "

 C48

    Under the youth''s terrifying palm, the jade, which was originally not even the size of a human head, shattered into pieces with a "hua hua hua" sound under everyone''s shocked gaze!


    Everyone present had seen the hardness of the ore before.


    Previously, even if he had used the cutting machine, he would only be able to cut off a small piece at a time.


    Even if there really was a piece of jade inside, a poor cutting master wouldn''t necessarily be able to cut it, much less jade.


    But this was only under the palm strike of the youth ¡­


    Under the cover of that dazzling red light was a crimson colored jade that was not even the size of a fist. This piece of jade was blood-red like a drop of blood. It was completely pure, and not even a speck of impurities could be seen. The surface of the jade was incomparably smooth without a single flaw.


    Just from this, it could be determined that this piece of jade was extraordinary.


    "This... This is a Blood Drop Stone, and such a huge one at that! "


    Suddenly, a shout erupted from the crowd.


    Those who knew what was good for it had already recognized the origin of the jade.


    It was said that the name of the Blood Drop Stone was also Dragon Blood Rocks. However, ordinary Blood Drop Rocks were not pure. Even so, they were one of the rare and precious jade stones in the Jadestone Realm.


    And today, the piece that Ye Chen had just opened was extremely pure, and also had the size of a fist. It was undoubtedly a great treasure.


    "Damn, this brat actually took out the Blood Drop Stone!" "This kind of treasure!"


    "This piece of jade, it''s probably around three to four million, right?"


    "This is too unbelievable ¡­"


    For a time, the crowd was boiling. Each and every one of them stared at the Blood Drop Stone in the youth''s hands with reddened eyes, as if they had the impulse to rush up and snatch it.


    "Wow, Ye Chen, you are so powerful!"


    Liu Ying Ying shouted excitedly, as if she had forgotten about her usual lady and ice goddess, she ran up and hugged Ye Chen.


    Feeling the fragrance and the soft touch in front of him, the youth''s heart rippled a little.


    After reacting to this intimate action, Liu Yingying seemed as if she had been electrocuted. She jumped away cutely, and her face flushed red.


    This scene caused the surrounding crowd to feel envious.


    Of course, the ones who had the ugliest expressions were still Duanmu Lei and Elder Chen. At that moment, they were gnashing their teeth in anger, especially Duanmu Lei.


    "Humph!" It''s just good luck, what is there to be happy about here? "


    Duanmu Lei yelled in indignation as he crossed his arms in front of his chest with a look of disdain.


    Judging from his demeanor, it was obvious that he was full of anger and wasn''t convinced at all.


    "This Blood Drop Stone is easy to mix with other ores. It is not easy to differentiate between them to begin with. It is mainly due to luck, so there is nothing to be happy about." This old man has traversed the Jadestone World for so many years and has seen many of them. Younger generation, you shouldn''t be too arrogant and be too complacent. "


    Old Chen stroked his beard, his gloomy face from before was instantly suppressed. He pretended to be indifferent, looked at Ye Chen who was pretending to be an old man, and mocked him.


    Listening to his tone, it seemed like he was just saying, you brat, you''ve stepped on some dog shit luck, what is there to be happy about?


    After he said that, the atmosphere became even more tense. A few people had already started to look at Ye Chen with suspicion and mockery in their eyes.


    With Elder Chen''s authority in the Jade Stone World compared to Ye Chen''s youth and lack of background, everyone naturally chose the former.


    Displeased instantly appeared on Liu Ying Ying''s delicate face.


    This was clearly him losing, and he still wanted to act shamelessly.


    "If you lose, then you lose. Is there a need to quibble here?"


    The young girl glared angrily at Duanmu Lei, but the latter seemed to completely disapprove of her.


    "True, this kid must be lucky. Otherwise, how could he have won against Master Chen?"


    "That''s right, Grandmaster Chen is an influential figure in this generation''s Jadestone World. I wonder what kind of Jadestone his subordinates have appraised, how could he lose to this boy!"


    Some people were naturally unable to eat the grapes and called them sour. As they saw the youth reveal his Blood Drop Stone, they naturally couldn''t help but mock him.


    "You!"


    Liu Ying Ying became even angrier when she saw this. Not to mention Ye Chen, even as a bystander, she could not stand watching such unfair treatment.


    However, before she could react, Ye Chen stopped her with a look in his eyes.


    The young man''s face was still as calm as water, but a hint of anger appeared in his black eyes.


    Who wouldn''t be angry at being treated so unfairly? With Ye Chen''s knowledge and experience, he knew that the explanation before was just the so-called nonsense of Elder Chen.


    "Oh? "By luck, why didn''t you use luck to get two pieces?"


    Ye Chen stared emotionlessly at Duanmu Lei and his men. Those cold eyes made the latter shiver!


    Under the youth''s gaze, Duanmu Lei and the others even had the misconception that the person in front of them was like a death god!


    "Tch!" If you dare to bet with me again, we can continue to gamble. But this time, if you were to bet ten coins each, you will see the value of the jade.


    Duanmu Lei seemed to have expended all his strength as he spat out these words at the youth.


    His attitude was still full of contempt and ridicule, but after seeing Ye Chen, his tone had obviously become weaker.


    "This kind of gamble can only be considered as a true contest between experts. Brat, Elder Chen will give you this opportunity today. What, do you want to gamble with me?"


    Elder Chen was also very pleased with himself, as he did not think highly of Ye Chen because of the Blood Drop Stone.


    The actions of the two got a round of agreement from the surrounding crowd.


    Because of their suspicion of the teenager, they were all full of contempt and ridicule, waiting for Ye Chen to be seen through.


    "What is it? Why are you so hesitant? Don''t tell me you don''t have the guts to do so? Weren''t you so arrogant just now? "


    Duanmu Lei was even more unwilling to let Ye Chen go.


    Now that things had developed to this point, if Ye Chen was not willing to bet, then in the eyes of others, how could he have lost today?


    How could he, who had such pride, leave behind such a place for others to talk about?


    "Ye Chen, let''s go. We don''t want to bet with these rude guys anymore."


    Liu Ying Ying pulled on the youth''s sleeves.


    Although she did not question Ye Chen''s power, she did not want him to risk his life.


    In this kind of situation, no matter how he looked at it, it would not benefit Ye Chen at all.


    "No matter. Since they want to play, I''ll send them off."


    However, Ye Chen casually waved his hand. He looked extremely calm, as if he had never seen Duanmu Lei or Master Chen in front of him.


    The bold words that followed after turning around caused the atmosphere of the entire stadium to once again erupt with passion!


    "Betting. However, this time, I will not only make you scram. If you lose, kowtow until I am satisfied!"

 C49

    "Alright, brat, you sure know how to boast. However, if you lose, don''t blame me for being ruthless!"


    At this time, Duanmu Lei would naturally not lose his momentum, he coldly looked back at Ye Chen.


    Today''s gamble was unavoidable.


    However, the expression of the boss of the Jade Jewel Pavilion at the side instantly became ugly and the corner of his mouth could not help but tremble.


    If this continued, he didn''t care which side won or lost. But this time, they were all his stones, and the value of this stone was not cheap at all.


    "Young Master Duanmu, you ¡­" "Our store can''t afford it!"


    The black-bearded man was still trembling as he spoke to Duanmu Lei.


    He did not dare to offend a big shot of this level. Otherwise, his shop would be closed for the rest of its business.


    "I''ll pay for these twenty primeval stones. In addition, I''ll ask Elder Chen to accompany you guys to stock up next time, is that alright?"


    Duanmu Lei casually threw out a black bank card with the posture of a rich young master.


    "Sure, please, Young Master."


    The black-bearded shop owner was also very tactful. He took his bank card and moved to the side. As long as Elder Chen was willing to help them buy the goods, the profits would not only be twenty primeval stones.


    After all, they were the authority of the Jadestone World, as well as the existence of an encyclopedia.


    "Brat, watch carefully. Today I''ll let you experience what a true master''s stone selection is like!"


    Elder Chen stroked his beard and walked towards the counter on the other side. He did not forget to rely on his age to teach Ye Chen a lesson.


    From the looks of it, he seemed to have won the battle from the very beginning.


    However, when Elder Chen started to choose a rock, the expressions of some of the surrounding people changed slightly.


    She looked at Ye Chen as if he was a fool.


    The ores on the shelves were also priced at a certain level. Normally, the higher the price, the higher the chances of selling good jade.


    There were around a hundred thousand rocks on the shelves, and only about a dozen of them were left.


    If he let Elder Chen choose first, then he would undoubtedly be courting death.


    Sure enough, Elder Chen pointed towards the top shelf, picking out ten pieces of ore that he was most satisfied with. He stroked his beard and said to Ye Chen arrogantly.


    "This time, even if I am the one who let a junior like you go, first, watch how I pick the ore. Learn a little and don''t lose in an ugly way."


    Duanmu Lei, on the other hand, was brimming with energy as he stared at the ten ores selected in the battle as if they were treasures.


    "Let''s begin!"


    Elder Chen lightly said as he ordered the Stone Master in front of him, who was already prepared, to make his move.


    Everyone could not help but click their tongues in wonder as they stared intently at the ore in the arena.


    "He really is worthy of being a master. Look at this stone. This texture, it''s definitely jade!"


    "That''s right, his eyesight is indeed not something an ordinary person can compare with!"


    "That kid still wants to compete with Elder Chen in eyesight? Isn''t he asking for trouble?"


    Many people looked at Ye Chen, their eyes filled with ridicule.


    Especially Ye Chen''s calm appearance up till now, it had made some people think that he was just a good example of a fat guy getting beaten up.


    "Hua Hua!"


    Following the ear-piercing sounds being emitted, a variety of lights blossomed one after another.


    "The jade is out, the jade is out!"


    "This is ¡­" Tie Jinyu! "


    "Huang Xueyu!"


    "Gu Youyu!"


    "..."


    "This... It was actually another Blood Drop Stone! It''s even bigger than before! "


    The cheers came one after another.


    Master Chen had chosen ten pieces of ores, and all of them had come out of the jade. According to the current market price, these ten pieces of jade were worth at least twenty million.


    This was definitely not a small number!


    After all, even if a normal piece of jade was taken out, it would only be a few hundred thousand. Even if Ye Chen could offer ten pieces of it, it would still not be equal to half of Master Chen''s.


    "Hahaha, Ye Chen, do you want to continue?" If you admit defeat now, I might be able to show some mercy and make you kowtow less! "


    "Otherwise, when the time comes, you will not be able to bear the consequences!"


    At this moment, not only was the crowd in a frenzy, but even Duanmu Lei had fallen into a state of ecstasy.


    With Master Chen''s power, this Ye Chen, even if he had some skill, could he turn the sky upside down?


    "Sigh, this kid really doesn''t know his place!"


    The black bearded man also waved his hands, and started to mock Ye Chen.


    In this sort of situation, to still choose Rock and continue gambling with Master Chen was undoubtedly wanting to die a long time.


    "Ye Chen!"


    Liu Yingying was extremely worried, and she even felt a bit guilty. If it wasn''t for her today, Ye Chen would not have gotten involved in this incident. But this time, she endured it in the end and did not cry out.


    Now that things had developed to this point, the girl could only choose to believe in Ye Chen.


    Ye Chen did not pay attention to Duanmu Lei''s sarcasm, nor did he look at Elder Chen or the others. He just walked up and picked out ten ores.


    The rock selection speed was absolutely the fastest in history.


    Because, from start to finish, Ye Chen did not even hesitate for half a second.


    "Humph!" It''s just acting. Since this junior dares to choose such a stone, it''s just a pile of useless stones. "


    Elder Chen laughed coldly, trying to sentence Ye Chen to death.


    His evaluation had undoubtedly made the people around him even more certain of this kid''s idiocy.


    "Let''s begin."


    Ye Chen took a few steps back, looking extremely calm.


    Even the Eviscerator couldn''t help but sneer. He had never seen a cut stone in his life. Who would choose a stone like this?


    "Hua Hua!"


    A faint green light flickered like the stars in the night sky as the blade struck down and the stone shattered.


    "What?" You gave out jade? "


    Elder Chen stared at the stone tablet as his face trembled. He could not help but exclaim out loud.


    Everyone was also staring at the field. One piece, two pieces, three pieces!


    As the ore was cut open again and again, all of it was taken out of the jade!


    One had to know that this was the stone that was just determined to not take out the jade. Moreover, Master Chen had also ¡­


    "Unfortunately, these are just ordinary jade stones. Each jade piece is worth a few hundred thousand gold coins. Compared to the previous Master Chen, they are far worse!"


    "Ugh, speaking of which, it''s this kid''s bad luck ¡­"


    When it reached the eighth whiteboard, some people couldn''t help but sigh.


    This time, there was even a bit of ridicule towards an ignorant youth.


    Jade? So what? He still couldn''t change the outcome of the loser!


    "Hua Hua!"


    The ninth piece of jade was cut open. From within, a faint purple light emitted, causing everyone present to be shocked!


    This was because when they saw the jade, not only was it Duanmu Lei, Elder Chen, even the cutting master, and the black-bearded shop manager thought they were spectating, they were all dumbfounded!


    "Zi ¡­" Amethyst Jade! This... This was the legendary top quality jade! One was worth a fortune! "Ten million!"

 C50

    "Zi ¡­" Amethyst Jade! "How could this be!?"


    This time, Elder Chen''s previously quivering face could no longer contain his shock. After a series of violent tremors, he cried out in alarm.


    If taking out a piece of jade from these stones was 100%, then this purple crystal jade was one out of 100,000, or even 100,000!


    Just a random purple crystal jade about the size of half a red date was about the price of ten million. Moreover, this current purple crystal jade was almost the size of an egg. This value had already surpassed the previous total value of all the jade stones that Elder Chen had opened!


    "This... "This kid!"


    The complexion of the black-bearded shop manager and the stone cutter master also changed.


    At a time like this, no fool would think that this youth was completely relying on luck to open up these jades.


    If it was true that he had been lucky the first time, then it was true that he had been lucky the second time. However, he had been lucky this time around. In fact, he had been lucky seven or eight times!


    In the end, who would have the luck to obtain such a top-grade jade?


    "Open the last one."


    Ye Chen waved his hand calmly, his face was still expressionless.


    However, he stared coldly at Duanmu Lei and Master Chen, whose expressions had already started to change.


    This time, they had truly failed!


    "Hua Hua!"


    Everyone held their breath as the final blade struck down. They stared intently at the final piece of ore as it exploded.


    Having a miracle created by a young man was already a miracle that made many people start to look forward to the next one.


    When that incomparably resplendent golden light burst out from the stage, the entire audience had truly fallen silent, falling into a deathly silence!


    Everyone looked at the piece of golden jade and could not utter a single word!


    The Epochrion looked on, dumbfounded. She stood there, frozen in place, her outstretched hand hovering in the air.


    One second! No one answered for two seconds. The entire place was so silent that only heavy breathing and panting could be heard. It was as though something had suppressed them to the point where they couldn''t even breathe.


    "This!" How was this possible! Golden Light Jade! The golden threads had turned into jade! This is the legendary Dragon Jade! "


    "Hiss!"


    The sudden outburst of roars completely stunned the entire audience. Everyone had frozen expressions on their faces as they stood motionlessly on the spot. Following this roar was the sound of people sucking in cold air!


    This piece of jade that was only twice the size of a thumb was the Dragon Jade that was rarely seen in a hundred years!


    One pill was worth over a hundred million! Furthermore, there was a market that was priceless.


    Let alone obtaining such a jade, some people might not even be able to see it for their entire lives!


    "This jade ¡­"


    Ye Chen stared at that piece of jade that was glowing with a golden light, his face revealing a hint of joy.


    This dragon jade contained extremely pure masculine spiritual energy. This was the essence that could only be accumulated after a thousand years.


    If it could be used for one''s own use, it would undoubtedly boost one''s training in the future. It could even be used to forge spirit artifacts.


    It just so happened that what he lacked right now was a high-quality spiritual energy jade.


    "This!" "You!"


    At this moment, Master Chen was completely stunned. The surroundings on his face trembled, and even his legs began to involuntarily tremble.


    Her face turned pale. When she looked at Ye Chen again, she was no longer as arrogant as before.


    Yes, it was an absolute respect and flattery!


    "Grandmaster Ye, can you sell me and my Dragon Jade? I, Chen, have truly lost!"


    Master Chen said again with a slight tremble. In fact, he even called Ye Chen a master!


    What kind of person was Elder Chen?


    In the entire jade world of Yan Jing, if he dared to say he was number two, no one would dare to say that he was number one.


    But today, he was actually bowing his head in front of a junior!


    But why would the current Elder Chen have the mood to care about this?


    Compared to the state he was in when he lectured back then, his current state was extremely comical!


    "I''m sorry, I''m not short on money and I''m not selling!"


    Ye Chen replied blandly. Without even looking at elder Chen, he took the purple crystal jade and the dragon jade.


    Among these jades, there were only two that could be considered decent. As for the rest, even the Blood Drop Stone was not of much value to him.


    "Elder Chen, you!"


    Duanmu Lei stood there in a daze, his face as pale as snow!


    His previous arrogance and haughtiness vanished into thin air at this moment.


    With the few jade pieces that Ye Chen had taken out, their value was more than ten times what Elder Chen had picked out. Not to mention that he had even taken out a dragon jade this time!


    How could a young master who operated a jade industry not know the value of this kind of jade?


    Obtaining this jade was not only the price on the surface, it was also a sign that the jade was about to open!


    This was because the appearance of this dragon jade would allow that great master to cover the sky in the Jadestone World!


    "Leaves..." Master Ye, we were blind to not recognize Mount Tai previously, so I hope that you can forgive us.


    The black-bearded shop manager was so scared that his legs trembled, and he almost kneeled down in front of Ye Chen.


    If this news were to spread out, even though it would greatly boost their reputation, as long as Ye Chen said it, they could close the shop and run away!


    How could a master who had offended a master of the Jadestone World possibly survive among his peers?


    "If Master Ye is willing, you can give me some pointers when I choose the stone materials. You can pick whatever you like in this store!"


    Seeing that Ye Chen did not pay any attention to him, the black-bearded boss hurried to compliment the teenager.


    It was as if he had completely forgotten about Master Chen and Duanmu Lei who were still standing at the side.


    At this moment, Ye Chen had already become the genius and monster in everyone''s hearts!


    "I appreciate the boss''s kindness. Let''s talk about it in the future when we have the chance. Today, I still have some debts to settle!"


    Ye Chen casually waved his hand, and turned around to look at Duanmu Lei, whose face was as ugly as if he had just eaten shit.


    At this moment, what they were looking at was Duanmu Lei, as well as the gazes of shock and ridicule from the surroundings.


    After Ye Chen had shown his power, their statuses and statuses seemed to have been exchanged.


    The real clowns, the real members of Lu class, were Duanmu Lei and Master Chen from the very beginning!


    "I, Duanmu Lei, admit defeat!"


    "Bam!"


    Accompanying the muffled sound, the dignified young master of the Duanmu family knelt down towards the youth in front of everyone!


    Every kowtow seemed to have a rhythm to it, like the ringing of a bell.


    Each and every one of the surrounding jeers and gazes that were watching the show were like whips that brought along a strong wind as they landed on Duanmu Lei one after another!


    "Haha? Admit defeat? Let me tell you, this is the result of you being blind and being self-righteous! If you dare to provoke me again, not to mention you, Duanmu Lei, even if it''s your Duanmu Family, I''ll still make a ruckus for you! "


    The incomparably domineering voice of the young man echoed within the large hall.


    However, this time, no one would dare to ridicule him.


    To be able to achieve such an achievement at such an age, even Master Chen of the Jadestone World would have to be called a master. How could his future be an existence that they, these people, could imagine?


    "Ying Ying, let''s go."


    The youth faintly smiled again. Looking at the stunned girl behind him, he gently stroked his head.


    As for Duanmu Lei, who was standing behind him, Ye Chen did not even take a single glance at him. He just left the hall without looking back, leaving the people still in shock.

 C51

    The summer evening breeze was especially refreshing. After bringing Liu Yingying around for the rest of the day, the two of them headed back as well.


    However, after what happened on Jade Street today, the girl looked at Ye Chen who was standing beside her. In her eyes, it was obvious that there was more light than usual.


    He had originally thought that this Ye Chen only had some martial arts and medical skills, but now, it seemed that it was different.


    On top of this jade, Ye Chen actually had the power to make the older generation submit to him!


    It had to be said that this youth''s origins were becoming more and more mysterious.


    "Today, I really have to thank you for accompanying me. I had a great time."


    At the intersection, the girl stopped and smiled sweetly at Ye Chen, revealing her crescent-like white teeth.


    Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it fell on the young girl''s face, adding to her charm and allure.


    However, only the young man in front of him would have the chance to see such a beautiful scene.


    "It''s fine. I had to thank you for helping me back at school. Just treat it as repayment."


    The girl''s warmth made Ye Chen a bit uncomfortable. He tilted his head and replied in a low voice.


    "He''s even coming out? In my opinion, if I don''t step in, you can teach those people a lesson, right? A person who dares to hit even the young master of the Duanmu family would not mind such a small trouble. "


    Liu Yingying pouted and looked at Ye Chen with a bit of resentment.


    Ye Chen did not mention a word about the teenager''s history and the reason behind his power at all from the beginning.


    Ye Chen could only change the topic with a smile.


    After all, it could be said that he had the biggest secret regarding where he came from and the source of his strength. There was no point in talking about this sort of thing. It might even bring trouble to the people around him.


    While the two of them were talking and laughing, they passed through an alley. Ye Chen''s face suddenly turned cold, and the Zhen Qi inside his body started to surge out.


    "Be careful!"


    Ye Chen''s urgent warning caused Liu Yingying to be stunned for a moment. The next moment, she felt herself falling into the youth''s arms under a strong force.


    The sounds of air being torn apart whistled past their faces!


    "Who is it? Get out here!"


    Ye Chen''s face was extremely gloomy. He held the girl in his arms with one hand, not in the mood to feel that smell and warmth anymore.


    In that instant, he could clearly see several silver-white needles shooting towards him.


    He was still alright, but if this were to happen to Liu Yingying, then he would definitely cause trouble.


    "Hehe, I didn''t think that you would have such fast reactions!" However, you will not be able to escape today! "


    A cold shout came from the other end of the alleyway.


    Immediately after, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard as the two sides of the alleyway were blocked by ten or so delinquents holding sharp blades.


    In front of them was a muscular bald man wearing a leather jacket, his chest and back bare, and smoking a cigar.


    At this moment, he was glancing at Ye Chen and Liu Ying Ying. Those evil eyes were staring at Liu Ying Ying''s slender legs.


    "Brat, this old man doesn''t want to waste words with you. Hand over what you have on you, or else ¡­"


    The bald man carelessly threatened as he pulled out an exquisite Swiss army knife from his pocket and fiddled with it.


    The cold glow that was reflected on it was even more terrifying.


    "Ye Chen!"


    Liu Ying Ying was about to cry from fright.


    Her small hands trembled, her face turned pale as she hugged Ye Chen tightly.


    After all, she was only nineteen years old. Since childhood, she had enjoyed all sorts of protection and care from her family. When had she ever experienced such a terrible situation?


    "It''s fine. Hug me tightly and I''ll settle it myself."


    Ye Chen softly comforted the girl in his arms, he did not even look up at the bald man in front of him.


    This act of contempt and disregard caused the surrounding group of lackeys to feel slightly surprised. However, it was soon followed by a burst of ridicule.


    "Boss, this brat is too arrogant. Let me deal with him!"


    "That''s right, he actually dares to ignore our boss. He''s simply too daring!"


    "This little girl is not bad. After we take care of her later, we ¡­"


    The next pile of obscenities had already angered Ye Chen.


    This group of scum, even if the youth was kind and compassionate, but he would never let these scum in front of him off easily!


    "Brat, I advise you to hand over the jade in your hand obediently. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being rude!"


    The bald man seemed to be too lazy to waste words and directly revealed his purpose.


    The reason they had come to block Ye Chen was because they had taken a fancy to the jade that Ye Chen had brought with him.


    One had to know that the value of that dragon jade was over a hundred million.


    If he sold it, he would instantly become a tycoon.


    "If you don''t want to hand it over, I don''t mind using some tricks to make your little girlfriend suffer a little. At that time, it''ll be too late for you to regret it!"


    The bald man''s eyes indicated his subordinates and he already licked his lips as he moved closer to Liu Yingying.


    The bright saber light scared the young girl so much that she dared not open her eyes.


    However, from the beginning to the end, the youngsters in the field didn''t feel any fear from this. They only sized up the people in front of them as their eyes slowly turned icy cold.


    "Speak, who sent you?"


    Ye Chen said indifferently, his tone was neither slow nor slow.


    "Hehe, brat, you are quite arrogant. Do you f * cking know who I am? Do you have the qualifications to ask me?"


    The bald man had a domineering look on his face, as if he was too lazy to care about Ye Chen.


    The lackeys behind him roared with laughter.


    They had seen people putting on an act before, but it was the first time they had seen someone acting as if they were on the verge of death.


    "I''ll give you a second chance. Tell me, who sent you here. If not, scram!"


    Ye Chen snapped coldly, as usual, there was not even a single ripple.


    However, the eyes that looked at the few people in front of them carried a coldness that seemed to have instantly caused the temperature of this alleyway to plummet by a couple of degrees.


    The people in front of him did not have patience for him and Liu Yingying, and Ye Chen did not have any patience for these small fry either.


    There was no need to waste time or words on these people.


    "You are f * * king courting death! Since you are not going to shout out, then let me beat you until you are willing to hand it over! "


    The bald man gave the order, and all the knives around him rushed towards Ye Chen at the same time.


    One had to know that the orders given by the higher-ups today were to ruthlessly chop this kid up!

 C52

    The bald man led his group of lackeys, not giving Ye Chen any chance to dodge at all.


    From the surroundings and the shining machete in his hand, not to mention the teenager inside, even some of the experts would be chopped at this time.


    When the blade was already at the young man''s neck, the crowd''s fiendish laughter sounded out again and again.


    Especially when he looked at the little beauty in his arms, his gaze swept across her presumptuously, as if he wanted to see something from Liu Ying Ying''s body.


    One could imagine, if Ye Chen gave in today, the girl in his arms would have had a miserable ending!


    "Hahaha, boy, why, are you scared silly? You don''t even dare to move? "


    "To think that the higher ups thought so highly of you. They even said that you had to be extremely careful. Pfft, what''s the point of being careful!"


    The bald man spat out hard. He then looked at Ye Chen who was still standing there calmly with a sneer on his face. The contempt and pride in his eyes was almost completely hidden.


    At this point, no one would believe that this young man in front of them could cause any more trouble!


    "Boss, I''m just saying that this kid is trash. There''s no need to take him to heart!"


    "Let''s cripple him first. Are you afraid we won''t be able to find anything from him?"


    "That''s right, the brothers can''t wait any longer. This girl ¡­"


    The lackeys all licked their lips and swallowed their saliva.


    The Liu Ying Ying in front of them could be said to be a huge temptation.


    However, the young girl had long since been frightened to the point that some sparkling light could be seen from the corner of her eyes. Who would have thought that he would run into so much trouble when he was out shopping with Ye Chen today?


    First was Duanmu Lei''s bet, but now a group of hooligans ran out.


    The blade was already at Ye Chen''s neck. This time, it was truly over.


    "I''ll ask you one last time, who sent you here!"


    Ye Chen was still as calm as ever. His tone, which never changed at all, made the bald man feel even more annoyed.


    It was as if the blade was not placed on the youth''s neck!


    "Who sent it? Aren''t you the same? I''m too lazy to waste my time talking to you ¡­ "


    "Crack crack!"


    Just as the bald man was disdainfully looking down on the youth in front of him, a clear and sharp explosion sound immediately spread throughout the arena!


    When everyone stared at the machete on the youth''s shoulder, which had shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground, everyone was dumbfounded!


    Because, from start to finish, Ye Chen had not made any move at all!


    However, the frightening pressure that suddenly spread out from within the arena and the aura that could make one feel cold from the depths of one''s soul instantly pressured them until they were unable to breathe!


    "You ¡­ You! "How is this possible!?"


    The bald man gripped the empty hilt of his saber, his expression suddenly frozen.


    In the blink of an eye, he looked at the young man in front of him as if he were a ghost.


    As the person closest to Ye Chen, he could clearly feel the killing intent emitted from this teenager in front of him!


    "How is this possible? "How is that impossible!"


    "Crack crack crack."


    Following the crisp sound of blades landing on the ground, the originally lively alleyway instantly became a little quieter.


    The group of incomparably arrogant subordinates from before hadn''t even clearly seen how the youth had attacked, and had already fallen to the ground, wailing in pain.


    Not to mention resisting, none of them even had the chance to turn around and run away!


    All of their faces were pale. They fell on the ground, moaning in pain and looking at Ye Chen who had already returned to his original spot as if they were looking at death.


    In just a few seconds, all the hooligans with sharp blades were dealt with!


    It had to be known that these people were people who had followed the bald man in front of them for dozens of years. If they didn''t have any skill or skill, how could they?


    But today, in the hands of an unarmed young man, he had no power to resist!


    Who would believe such a thing!?


    "I''ll ask again, who exactly is it!"


    A cold light flashed across Ye Chen''s black eyes as he stared at the bald man, whose face had paled for a while, and whose legs were trembling uncontrollably.


    Obviously, in this place, this guy was the boss, otherwise, Ye Chen would not have let him stay here.


    "I... "I am a dragon ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    The youth slapped him with a backhand slap that was so powerful that the bald man in front of him spun in a circle on the spot. After that, he fell to the ground with his buttocks, causing the sky to turn dark.


    When he raised his head again, his cheek had swelled up.


    The bald man seemed to have lost a lot of blood from that one slap. He covered his swollen face and crawled up while trembling. He looked at Ye Chen with his fierce eyes, as if he was looking at his father''s murderer.


    "I''m a person of the Dragon Tiger Hall. If you dare to touch me, you won''t be able to ¡­"


    "Clap clap!"


    Ye Chen did not hesitate at all. This time, he threw out two palm attacks towards the bald man.


    "Dragon Tiger Hall? So what? "If you dare to mess with me, Ye Chen, I will definitely not be at peace!"


    Ye Chen yelled out coldly. The palm in his hand did not seem to want to stop at all.


    Towards such a scumbag, the young man would not have the slightest bit of scruples, nor would he be polite!


    It was unknown how many innocent people had been harmed by such a person, and how much blood had stained their hands.


    "Hehe!" "You''re not afraid of the Dragon Tiger Hall, but ¡­"


    "Pa Pa Pa!"


    He swung out three more times.


    This time, the power that Ye Chen had used had been overlaid by a few layers of Zhen Qi.


    The bald man in front of him was once again whipped until he rolled over. After struggling a few times, he finally laid on the ground in a sorry state and did not have the strength to get up again.


    "I''ll ask one last time. If you don''t tell me, I don''t mind sending you off!"


    Ye Chen''s words were so cold that there was not even a trace of emotion in them.


    This practically made the person in front of him not doubt that if he really did not confess, he would definitely lose his life here today!


    And this time, the bald man was completely terrified.


    Under the threat of death, he was finally willing to hand over the mastermind behind it.


    "I said, I said, it''s the young master of the Duanmu family. Duanmu Lei told us to come here. It''s not our business. Please spare us ¡­"


    The bald man was like a dead dog as he shamelessly begged, completely changing his expression.


    This kind of hypocritical and extremely cunning person caused the youth to feel even more disgust.


    "Duanmu Lei?" "Hehe, you sure have a lot of guts!"


    The youth''s fist slowly clenched, but the rage in his heart was exploding bit by bit ¡­

 C53

    After the trouble with Duanmu Lei was solved, Ye Chen personally sent Liu Ying Ying back.


    Because of Duanmu Lei''s existence, the two of them had gone out this time to obstruct their way.


    However, it could not be said that he had not gained anything at all. The purple crystal jade and dragon jade that he had obtained from the jade shop was the biggest gain that Ye Chen had gained from this trip.


    Putting aside the value of these two pieces of jade stones, they were mainly for the benefit of Ye Chen''s cultivation.


    "This purple crystal jade is pure and warm. The quality of the jade is also excellent, without any impurities. It''s just nice for forging spirit artifacts."


    Inside the Source Control Pavilion, Ye Chen was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, looking at the jade stone carefully.


    Amethyst Jade was originally a rare nourishing jade, but its nature was neither cold nor sunny. It could be said to be a top grade neutral jade.


    "With my current abilities, there''s basically no difficulty in forging an ordinary low grade spirit artifact ¡­"


    After some time, Ye Chen made up his mind.


    If this jade was made into an ordinary defensive spirit artifact, it would have a great compatibility with it. However, to the current him, it wasn''t of much use.


    However, using it as a gift was still an excellent choice.


    "This Dragon Jade ¡­"


    Feeling the strong masculine qi coming from the other jade stone, Ye Chen couldn''t help but feel a bit happy.


    This Goldthread Dragon jade was absolutely a rare and precious jade of the Jadestone World.


    The violent energy contained within was just enough for him to break through the bottleneck.


    If he had the help of Long Yu, breaking through the peak of the Mid Rank Mortal Realm Stage Two would not be a difficult task.


    As long as one was able to step into the late stage of the Second Sky of Qi Disciple stage, one could be considered to have fully mastered the first layer of the Great Chaotic Art.


    The first form inside, the Tai Yi Palm, could also be successfully executed.


    The might of this ancient technique was self-evident. At that time, their strength would undoubtedly rise to another level ¡­


    When the young man woke up from his cultivation state once again, the golden threads within the dragon jade in his hand had dimmed. Even the dazzling light from before had dimmed a little.


    As he felt the circulating almost materialized true energy white training between his palms, a few more traces of joy appeared on the young man''s face.


    "Finally, I''ve grasped the first level of the Sublime Yi Primal Chaos Formula ¡­"


    It was a huge step for the Mortal Realm to completely condense and materialize the Zhen Qi into the physical form.


    If it was before, Ye Chen might still have to deal with normal weapons and bullets carefully. Even if his body''s toughness was already comparable to that of ordinary people, but it still had not reached that terrifying level of physical resistance within a short distance.


    Now, however, this is going to have to change in nature...


    "It just so happens that I should go and settle some debts with someone else ¡­"


    After making up his mind, Ye Chen packed up his things and went to Beijing High School.


    It seemed that because of his performance at the martial arts building previously, he had stepped on Duanmu Lei, causing him to become a celebrity in Yan Jing High School.


    Although there were many rumors and slanders in his ears, there was only one advantage to having them around. Zhao Jingwei, Wang Gang, and the others had clearly become more obedient.


    At a time like this, no one would dare to so easily throw their lives away.


    After all, the Ye Chen in front of them was someone who had beaten the instructor before, so why would he be afraid of them?


    "Brother Ye, how is it?" When he went out yesterday, how far had he progressed? "Is there ¡­"


    Ye Chen''s butt had not even warmed up yet, that gossipy fat guy had already walked over with a naughty smile on his face.


    At least Fatty and Zhao Mengsi knew about him shopping with Liu Ying.


    "Nothing, I ran into some trouble."


    Ye Chen waved his hand casually, sending the fat man away.


    Speaking of what happened yesterday, that Duanmu Lei''s debt had yet to be settled.


    "I heard that you guys went to gamble and even met Duanmu Lei. You guys taught them a lesson on jade. Tsk tsk, you guys are in a really good mood!"


    It was unknown when, but Zhao Meng Si had also come over to join in the gossip.


    While gnawing on the potato chips, he looked at Ye Chen, as if he was looking at a monster.


    It had to be said that Ye Chen in front of him could always give people a nice surprise.


    Previously, he had only heard that this young man''s medical skills and martial arts were outstanding, but this time, he did not expect that Jadestone had such high attainments. Even the famous Master Chen in Yan Jing had been taught such a lesson ¡­


    "Wah!" Gambling Stone, Brother Ye, just how much do you know? I remember that Duanmu Lei, isn''t his jade being part of the family business? "Why are you ¡­"


    Fatty looked at his big brother with admiration and adoration.


    Unknowingly, Ye Chen had become more and more mysterious.


    Even though the young man didn''t have any background or power, the strength he had displayed and the prestige he had gained over the past few days wasn''t any less than those of those so-called wealthy families.


    Even the boy god Duanmu from before had become a stepping stone for Ye Chen.


    "Ye Chen, thank you so much for yesterday ¡­" It''s my birthday party, remember to come. "


    Liu Ying Ying shyly lowered her head, looking at Ye Chen who was standing right next to Zhao Meng Si. Her bright red cheeks made her look even more adorable.


    As he said that, he reached out his small white hand and handed out the invitation card to Ye Chen.


    This caused the other students in the class to be filled with envy.


    When had they ever been so fortunate to be able to obtain the gentle treatment of this icy goddess, and to even receive an invitation from their own hands?


    However, these people could only be jealous for their entire lives.


    "Excuse me, is Ye Chen in?"


    Just at this moment, a weak and weak voice that contained a hint of a smile came from the entrance of the classroom, causing the group of people that were envious before to feel as if they were going insane.


    "Goddess Yu Ling!" "Oh my god, why did she come to our class!"


    "Goddess!" "Look, the goddess is here ¡­"


    "The Goddess couldn''t have come to find that guy, right? She was actually asking ¡­ "Ye Chen!"


    Shouts of surprise came one after another. To Chu Yuling, even Liu Yingying would be slightly weaker in terms of her influence.


    She had a gentle temperament and was cute and gentle. Compared to School Beauty Liu, she was a little less cold and a few more tender and delicate, but she was much more attractive.


    As for the Chu Yuling of today, she wore a white dress and her hair fell down. As she walked forward, the corner of her skirt fluttered and her slender legs moved. She gathered the fiery gazes of the entire class.


    However, the girl did not care about the cheers and shouts from the crowd, she walked right up to Ye Chen, smiled slightly and said sweetly.


    "Ye Chen, are you free tonight?" "I want to treat you to a meal ¡­"

 C54

    Chu Yuling''s sweet voice could almost be heard breaking the heart of everyone present.


    What followed was a wave of near crazed complaints and envy.


    "Is there even any justice here? Why is Yu Ling here looking for this kid as well?"


    "What the hell is this Ye Chen doing?!"


    "Ye Chen''s luck is too good, my goddess ¡­"


    All of them were filled with pain, and their eyes were all red as they looked at Ye Chen.


    As for Wang Gang, Duanmu Lei, and the others, they all gnashed their teeth in anger. Since when had this poor, unpopular kid suddenly leapt onto the stage and become the target of the goddess'' eyes?


    "This ¡­"


    As the involved party, Ye Chen felt a bit awkward this time.


    He could already feel that Zhao Mengsi and Liu Yingying were on the verge of devouring him.


    Even the fatty at the side couldn''t help but size up his big brother with a peculiar gaze.


    Looking at Chu Yuling''s slightly jealous appearance, there was already a sour smell in the air.


    If this were to continue, the harem would probably catch fire ¡­


    "I''m free tonight. I''ll be there."


    Under the warm invitation of Chu Yuling, Ye Chen hesitated for a while, but he still agreed.


    "Alright, do you remember? I''ll come look for you in the classroom."


    Chu Yuling looked back and smiled, which immediately made Ye Chen feel two pairs of cold eyes staring right at him.


    As soon as the young girl turned around to leave, Zhao Mengsi, who was standing behind her, spoke up with ill intentions.


    "Ying Ying, looks like your love rival has appeared. You have to properly manage your family."


    "Meng Si, stop talking nonsense!"


    Liu Ying Ying Ying''s face was flushed red, but her gaze towards the youth clearly contained the grudge of a little girl.


    This caused the surrounding people to be amazed and envious.


    Since when did the two school beauties of Beijing High School become jealous of such an unremarkable youth?


    In another corner of the classroom, Zheng Yu, who had been silent all this time, tightly clenched his fists. Blue veins popped out on his face, and he was so angry that his face turned purple.


    He was a dignified young master of the Zheng Family and yet he hadn''t received even the slightest bit of attention from Liu Yingying. Yet, this young man with no background in front of him had such luck with women.


    Ever since he was taught a lesson last time, he had been lying in the hospital for a long time, and Ye Chen''s information had long been turned upside down by the Zheng Family.


    A person was born in the countryside. Within the clan, there were some people who had a government official and a half position. However, those were only official positions that were not in the upper class.


    Compared to a giant like the Zheng Family in Beijing, they naturally looked down on him.


    "Ye Chen, I want to see how long you can still be so arrogant. I, Zheng Yu, will not let go of my debt just like that!"


    Zheng Yu looked at the youth''s back and cursed fiercely in his heart.


    Ye Chen had long become a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh.


    As for the young man, he naturally didn''t place a character like Zheng Yu in his heart.


    In the evening, Ye Chen was sitting in a high-class western restaurant opposite of Beijing High School. He was looking out of the window at the scenery.


    Chu Yuling was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Her hair was slightly golden, and after she sat down, her skintight short skirt revealed a beautiful view that would attract the gazes of the people around her from time to time.


    The young girl''s charm didn''t diminish in the slightest wherever it went.


    Yet at this moment, when her limpid eyes sparkled, it was only the young man in front of her.


    "Thank you very much for what happened last time. If not for your help, I might not have had the chance to stand in front of you now ¡­"


    Chu Yuling took the initiative to speak, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere.


    As she spoke, her delicate face couldn''t help but turn pink.


    The last time Ye Chen had treated him, he had done it when he was in the medicinal bath. It would be impossible for him to not see anything through that mist.


    "It''s nothing, it''s just a small matter. I have to thank the Ancient Spirit Pavilion for the medicinal ingredients they provided me."


    Ye Chen waved his hand and replied with a faint smile.


    Looking at the young girl''s blushing face, he felt a little embarrassed himself.


    Especially when he recalled the agreement that only the two of them knew about.


    "Oh right, I want to ask you a question. Can you tell me something?"


    All of a sudden, Chu Yuling appeared to be in a hurry. The blush on her cheeks spread to her ears. From the looks of it, she was as shy as a young girl whose thoughts had been cut off.


    "What is it?"


    Ye Chen looked at the look on Chu Yuling''s face and the look in her eyes, he could guess what was going on. However, he still did not reject the young girl''s request.


    He was also somewhat curious as to what Chu Yuling wanted to know from him.


    "Are you ¡­"


    "You guys are really excited!" "Come here to enjoy, Ye Chen, are you even worthy of this!?"


    Before the young girl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a ridiculing voice.


    Not only was this voice extremely familiar, it also seemed to contain a hint of jealousy.


    Of course, only the young master Duanmu Lei, who had been taught a lesson a few times before, could dare to mess with them.


    "Duanmu Lei, what are you doing here!"


    Chu Yuling couldn''t help feeling a bit of anger in her heart after being interrupted. She didn''t have any good impression of this hedonistic young master in the first place.


    Furthermore, she had been looking for trouble with Ye Chen over the past few days, so naturally, she had heard of all of them.


    "Yu Ling, I only came here to teach some people a lesson. You can just watch from the side!"


    "Some people are just hoodlums who have some tricks up their sleeves. They''re not worth it for you to be tempted by!"


    Duanmu Lei was so arrogant that he seemed to have completely forgotten how badly Ye Chen had taught him.


    Right after he finished saying those words, the three well-trained black-clothed bodyguards behind him dashed forward and stood before Duanmu Lei.


    Judging from his aggressive attitude, he seemed to have come to seek revenge this time. Moreover, the faint inner force fluctuation that had erupted was clearly not that of an ordinary person.


    "What do you want!"


    Feeling the ill intentions of the people in front of her, the young girl could not help but feel some fear in her heart.


    It was impossible for Duanmu Lei to run over without any preparation. After all, they had all suffered at the hands of Ye Chen.


    However, since he had dared to appear this time, it meant that he must have a trump card to turn the situation around. In this situation, the most disadvantageous position was naturally Ye Chen.


    "What is it? Ye Chen, weren''t you very cocky before? I, Duanmu Lei, will stand here today. If you have the ability, come over and teach me a lesson! "

 C55

    Duanmu Lei''s arrogance and high profile immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.


    However, after they recognized the identity of the young master of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Lei, no one dared to seek death.


    After all, although the Duanmu Family could not be considered a clan with a special background like the Su Family in Yan Jing or a leading clan like the Lin Family, they were still a second-rate faction with some prestige.


    This was not an existence that ordinary people could easily offend.


    "Which family''s brat is he? He''s blind and offended Duanmu Lei. Tsk tsk, he''s simply not giving up his life!"


    "You don''t know where this brat ran out from, do you?"


    "Looks like there''s going to be a good show today. This boy ¡­" Sigh, the girl in front of me was also blind, how did I end up being tricked by this person? "


    The surrounding sound of the crowd instantly drowned Ye Chen out.


    Looking at how Duanmu Lei was wearing his black bodyguard uniform, the onlookers could guess that someone was going to be in trouble today. With so many people surrounding the youth, it was like using a piece of trash.


    "A Second Sky of Body Tempering realm expert? Just three early stage ones. "


    Ye Chen sighed to himself. The person who had come this time was finally of a higher level, and could be considered a true cultivator.


    However, he had barely reached the early stage. For the current Ye Chen, it was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.


    "Speak, are you going to scram yourself or do you need my help today?"


    Ye Chen was still as cold as ever, he did not even turn around to look at Duanmu Lei.


    This sort of character, in the heart of a youth, was an existence that didn''t enter the eyes of others.


    "You! Arrogant! Look at who I brought today! "


    Duanmu Lei did not seem to realize at all how he was courting death, and was constantly flaunting his skills.


    That arrogant look of his made Ye Chen feel even more disgusted.


    These rich kids all had their own power and status and wanted to do whatever they wanted. No matter what, they would always put on a superior attitude.


    This kind of contempt and injustice, Ye Chen had had enough already!


    "Duanmu Lei, don''t mess around here. Otherwise, our Chu Clan will not let you off!" "Ye Chen, he is our Chu Family''s guest!"


    In a moment of desperation, Chu Yuling''s tone became a bit more forceful.


    She was worried for the youth''s safety, so she was unable to guess what trump card Duanmu Lei had.


    However, her words that threatened his clan had not only failed to achieve any positive results, but had instead caused Duanmu Lei, who was standing in front of him, to become even more enraged!


    "Hehe, esteemed guest! This brat can be a guest of your Chu Family, then what about me! "


    "Yu Ling, did you do this just to protect this kid? Not even sparing to use your family as a shield? "


    Duanmu Lei''s face was so gloomy that it seemed as though blood would drip out at any moment. His shout was filled with fury and unwillingness, as if a volcano had erupted.


    He was the dignified young master of the Duanmu family. What could he possibly find to be inferior to this young man in front of him?


    "Give up. I will never like a playboy like you who only knows how to bully others!" "Ye Chen, he is a hundred times better than you, a thousand times better!"


    The young girl''s words exploded in the hall like a thunderclap.


    With a boom, some people felt that their brains were not enough.


    However, when he once again looked at Duanmu Lei in the arena, his gaze became somewhat strange.


    He, Duanmu Lei, was actually unable to compare to that ordinary looking kid?


    "Ye Chen!" "You!"


    At this moment, Duanmu Lei, as the person in question, was truly enraged.


    He had never thought that the goddess in his heart would say these words to him for the sake of that young man!


    "Go and teach this kid a lesson! Ye Chen, if I don''t make you kneel down and call me grandpa today, I, Duanmu Lei, will change my surname!"


    In the blink of an eye, the roars of commands exploded within the hall.


    One had to know that these people were special bodyguards hired by the Duanmu family to protect the outside world. Each and every one of them were expensive fighters. In the outside world, they were even soldiers who had served in special forces.


    Whether it was physical fitness, actual combat experience, or combat ability, these people were all far beyond what ordinary people could compare with.


    Not to mention dealing with this wet behind the ears brat in front of him, even if he were to deal with some so-called martial arts experts, he would be able to do it effortlessly.


    "Hu!"


    The three of them walked at almost the same pace as they erupted forth with explosive steps.


    Three black figures charged towards the youth just like that. There wasn''t even the slightest bit of hesitation!


    Such a frightening might could not help but cause the spectators nearby to involuntarily take a few steps back. They were afraid that they would be affected by this.


    After all, if they were to fight, it would not be a joke.


    "Duanmu Lei, you ¡­"


    Chu Yuling was also somewhat anxious. She had just wanted to reprimand him, but it was already too late!


    She did know that Ye Chen had quite a bit of skill in martial arts. At least, Duanmu Lei, who was standing in front of him, was no match for that teenager.


    However, that was only limited to the matches within the academy. If he were to fight against these people ¡­


    "Bang bang bang!"


    Bang!" Three continuous, deep bangs erupted at almost the same time.


    Immediately following that was the crashing sound of the broken porcelain plates as well as the miserable shrieks and wails that flew out from them!


    However, the ones who were wailing on the ground were not the young man everyone was thinking about, but the three burly men who had attacked them earlier!


    The current them did not have the slightest bit of might from before.


    They were lying on the ground like dead dogs. Their mouths had a tinge of red in them as they panted fiercely, their faces as pale as snow.


    This was because in that short instance when they exchanged blows, they could feel a pressure that seemed to completely suppress them!


    In front of the youth, the three of them actually had no way to resist!


    "You! "You!"


    Duanmu Lei stood blankly on the spot, his mouth agape. The frenzied laughter from before had long since come to a standstill.


    The corner of his mouth twitched. There was no longer any trace of blood on his face!


    That... However, they were professional thugs who had spent a million a month to hire, and one of them was a former special forces soldier!


    This kind of person, unexpectedly, the youth could not even block a single move!


    "This... "What''s going on?!"


    Not only Chu Yuling, even the spectators were also stunned.


    They all felt that their view of the world had been overturned!


    Who would have thought that in a match with such a disparity in strength, the final winner would be this youth who didn''t even look to be twenty!


    "Speak, what is the matter? You shouldn''t be here just to fight right? "Once you''re done, get lost!"


    Ye Chen took a sip of the tea in his cup and slowly sat back down, still not turning his head back.


    It was as if nothing had happened.


    "Our Duanmu Family will have a Jadeware Assembly after this. If you have the guts, come and gamble ¡­"


    "Got it, hurry up and f * ck off!"


    Ye Chen waved his hand and interrupted Duanmu Lei.


    However, at this moment, the other party could only leave the restaurant in a miserable manner with a group of people following behind him with a pale and distorted face ¡­

 C56

    There was no time to pay attention to Duanmu Lei''s talk about the Jaded Artifact Assembly. He thought that Liu Yingying''s birthday party was only three days away, so Ye Chen was preparing a present for her in the next few days.


    Other than the material required to forge a spiritual weapon being extremely crucial, the rest would depend on the craftsman''s skill and skill.


    However, with his ten years of experience in refining in this world, this small matter would not be a problem for Ye Chen.


    The next morning, the youth sitting on the bed woke up once again. He looked at the unread message on his phone, packed up a few things, and left.


    However, this time, the destination wasn''t Beijing High School. It was the only six star hotel in Beijing, an international hotel.


    This hotel was newly built in Beijing in these few years. It was said that it was a business venture of Jiang-Nan and was built jointly with a family in Beijing.


    As soon as this hotel was located here, it had an extremely high popularity and prestige.


    It could be said that all grand gatherings and banquets would be held in this sort of place. Moreover, normal people would not be able to enter so easily.


    "I wonder what Elder Su sought me out for this time? It just so happens that I haven''t contacted the Su family after seeing how well he''s recovered ¡­"


    Ye Chen sighed in his heart.


    Since the last time he left after the auction at the Ming De Auction House, Ye Chen had not contacted the Su Family.


    Old Man Su had the prescription that he left behind to recuperate, so his recovery after that wouldn''t be too bad.


    However, this sudden arrangement still made Ye Chen curious.


    Half an hour later, Ye Chen finally arrived at the entrance of the Yu Cheng Inn that Old Man Su had mentioned. He got out of the taxi, walked to the door and took out his purple card according to Old Man Su''s instructions.


    "Mister, please wait here first."


    The waiter politely guided Ye Chen to the VIP lounge on the side of the hall on the first floor.


    Ye Chen did not stand on ceremony. He sat on the soft leather couch, quietly watching the scenery outside the window.


    Because he arrived a bit earlier, he could only wait for Elder Su to come.


    "Eh? "Ye Chen, why are you here too?"


    Ye Chen''s butt had not warmed up yet when that familiar girl''s voice pulled the teenager out of his nap.


    Standing not far away from the rest area, Zhao Mengsi was the first to notice Ye Chen''s presence.


    "Yes, he''s waiting for someone."


    Ye Chen slowly raised his head, and lightly responded.


    However, the youth couldn''t help but frown when he saw the group of people rushing in from the entrance.


    "Young Master Zheng is truly generous, he actually invited us to this 6-star hotel!"


    "Yes, yes. This is the only 6-star hotel in Beijing!"


    "Supposedly, the joint venture between the Zheng Family and Jiangnan''s heavyweight was established. Looks like the Zheng Family has a deep background!"


    There was a flurry of footsteps at the door, mixed with all sorts of flattery.


    Needless to say, he was actually praising Zheng Yu of the Zheng Clan.


    "Who are you waiting for? Why don''t you come up with us and play? Today is the class reunion. "


    Beside Zhao Mengsi, Liu Yingying had also noticed Ye Chen.


    Today was the reunion of their Beijing high school class, and it was supposed to be a day for everyone to go out and play.


    It was only because Zheng Yu had proposed to come to this Yu Cheng Inn that they had gathered here. However, they did not notify Ye Chen.


    "Heh heh, he''s still waiting for someone? In my opinion, I don''t know how you got in here, but you should at least try to put on an act here! "


    That cold sarcasm immediately came over.


    Wang Ziyi was looking at Ye Chen with disdain.


    "Only those with status can enter here. You do not have the qualifications!"


    Wang Ziyi seemed unwilling to give up.


    Ever since Zheng Yu secretly acted as a shield for these people, Zhao Mangwei, Wang Gang, Wang Ziyi, and the others seemed to have come to life and continued to attack the youngster.


    "Yo, isn''t that Ye Chen?" Come, let''s go up and play? "


    Zheng Yu''s face was also filled with provocation, as he pretended to invite Ye Chen in front of the whole class.


    "Are you all bored?" It''s a class gathering today, not a gathering for you guys to mock us! "


    Zhao Mengsi looked at Ye Chen with disdain. It was the first time she said something for Ye Chen in front of everyone.


    Her shout caused the people in front of her to calm down a little.


    No matter what, everyone still wanted to have a good time and relax. As for meeting Ye Chen, it was just an accident.


    "Then let''s go up. Don''t lose interest because of some people. It''s not worth it!"


    Wang Ziyi said in a sarcastic tone, and then swaggered in front of Ye Chen with Zhao Manwei and the group of people beside her.


    The rest of the people left as well. They even did not invite Ye Chen at all.


    It was as if this person wasn''t from their class.


    "Ye Chen, you should go up and have a look first. It would be so boring to wait here by yourself. How about you come down after that person has arrived?"


    Liu Yingying blinked her big, watery eyes, looking at Ye Chen who was right in front of her.


    She naturally would not doubt what the youth had said.


    After all, from what he had experienced up until now, this young man was not as simple as mysterious. His background, strength, and abilities were not existences that they, his peers, could compare to.


    "That''s right, that''s right. It''s so boring to stay here. Let''s go up and have some fun before coming down!"


    Zhao Meng Si, who was standing at the side, also instigated the others.


    It was supposed to be a reunion today, so if Ye Chen was excluded like this, it would be weird for him.


    Besides, the two girls did not want to embarrass Ye Chen because of Zheng Yu''s rejection.


    "Alright, I''ll go with you and take a look."


    Ye Chen could not resist the invitation from the two of them, but he still let out a sigh of relief.


    He looked at the time. There was still half an hour before their meeting time, so he didn''t have to wait here forever.


    Then, Zhao Mengsi and Liu Yingying got on the elevator together.


    However, Zheng Yu, who was standing in front of Ye Chen, looked at Ye Chen, who was being led over by Liu Ying Ying. His face immediately darkened.


    He wanted to push out Ye Chen and win over the hearts of the others, making it so that this kid could not stay in the class any longer. This was the reason why Ye Chen was treating him to a meal today in the first place.


    Regarding Ye Chen, whether it was him or his Zheng family, both of them hated him to the bones!


    "Humph!" Since you want to die, then don''t blame me for it! "

 C57

    The 16th floor of the Yucheng Hotel was also the gathering place for Zheng Yu and his group.


    There was an extremely spacious hall with all sorts of delicacies and wine for self-service. It could be said that it was filled to the brim with all sorts of food and drinks.


    The decorations within the large hall were extremely luxurious. The crystal lamp on the top of the hall was sparkling for a while, as though it was going to illuminate the entire place.


    On the left side of the hall, there were two luxurious private rooms that were not too far away from each other. Among them, there was a KTV, while on the other side, there was a billiard room and two chess rooms.


    It could be said that this place was filled with all sorts of leisure facilities.


    "Wow, as expected of a 6-star hotel. Its service is so thoughtful!"


    "That''s right. Young Master Zheng is truly generous. It''ll take a lot of money to rent this place out, right?"


    "Young Master Zheng is mighty!"


    Many people began to exclaim at the luxury and luxury here.


    Of course, this inevitably made him praise the organizer of this event, the young master of the Zheng Family, Zheng Yu.


    If it weren''t for him, some people wouldn''t even have the right to come here, much less spend money here.


    "You''re all playing around. You don''t have to be so polite. Today, this place will be my, Zheng Yu''s, venue!"


    Being praised to the sky like that, Zheng Yu naturally had boundless lofty sentiments. His overweeningly arrogant appearance became even more the true image of his current appearance.


    As they greeted, Zheng Yu brought the group of people to the KTV box.


    This could be said to be the place where boys and girls were most eager to vent their emotions.


    Although Ye Chen was not interested in singing, he still had Liu Ying and Ying Ying to carry him. He found a small corner in the KTV box and waited there, tasting the Lafite that was sitting on it.


    The room was extremely spacious, and was about the same size as some of the other pubs, which saved Ye Chen a lot of trouble.


    "Why don''t we go sing a song together? My Yingying can sing very well. "


    As soon as Ye Chen sat down, Zhao Mengsi, who was sitting beside him, started to play tricks on him.


    She was naturally able to see through Liu Ying Ying''s feelings for the youth.


    "Meng Si, what nonsense are you talking about!"


    Liu Ying Ying, who was sitting in front of Ye Chen, immediately blushed. The color of her face was almost the same as her light red short skirt.


    It had to be said that Liu Ying Ying was indeed beautiful today.


    Under the wrapping of the short red skirt, her slender waist and well-developed figure was revealed.


    However, this Ice Snow Goddess had always refused requests from others.


    Seeing Zheng Yu being so intimate with the three of them, they were so angry that their teeth were itching.


    At this moment, Zheng Yu was holding a red wine cup in one hand as he stared at the youth with an incomparably gloomy expression.


    "Young Master Zheng, should we ¡­"


    Zhao Jingwei, who was standing to the side, reminded him of something. However, Zheng Yu cut him off just as he was about to speak.


    "No need. The people from there will be here soon. Wait a moment, I''ll show this guy what I can do!"


    Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and said word by word.


    The glass in his hand seemed to have been crushed.


    "Hahaha, Young Master Zheng is in the mood to sing."


    Right at this moment, the door to the KTV private room was pushed open from the outside. A brawny bald man walked in with a group of domineering lackeys.


    The middle-aged man leading the group had a short black T''s, and a tiger-shaped tattoo appeared on his sturdy arm. It looked very lifelike, but it carried a bit of valiance and bloodlust.


    "It''s a cultivator again. This one is a bit stronger. It must have been a long time since he was in the early Second Sky of Body Tempering Realm ¡­"


    Ye Chen took a glance and immediately saw through the person who had just arrived.


    Compared to the few Half-step Second Sky of Body Tempering realm cultivators that Duanmu Lei had under his command, this person''s strength was clearly much stronger.


    What surprised Ye Chen even more was that the blood aura he was emitting seemed to belong to someone who had been hanging around the streets all year round.


    When such people fought, their strength was even more terrifying.


    "Brother Hu, you finally came. I''ve been waiting for you for a long time!"


    Zheng Yu also laughed heartily. He felt extremely happy when he saw this man, who was called Brother Hu, come over.


    Cao Cao Cao, Cao Cao, Cao Cao, and Cao Cao, they had been looking for Brother Hu.


    "Come here, let me introduce you all. This is Brother Hu of the Dragon Tiger Hall and he is also my, Zheng Yu''s, elder brother!"


    Zheng Yu picked up the microphone and introduced his big brother to everyone.


    However, when he said this, a commotion broke out in the audience.


    "Brother Hu? "This is Brother Hu of the Dragon Tiger Division. I never thought that even he would come!"


    "This is the big shot of Yan Jing!"


    "Longhu Hall, I heard that their martial arts attainments are extremely high. Even some martial arts families are not their match. They are quite famous in Beijing."


    Many people were amazed.


    If they could get on good terms with Brother Hu, then it would undoubtedly provide a strong guarantee for some people.


    Speaking of power, this Longhu Hall was probably one of the top few in Yan Jing city.


    "Dragon Tiger Hall ¡­"


    Hearing this familiar name, Ye Chen who was sitting calmly in the corner could not help but frown.


    But before he could continue thinking about it, Zheng Yu''s voice on the stage had undoubtedly pushed him towards the knife''s edge.


    "Brother Hu, I have a classmate named Ye Chen. He is very good at fighting, even the young master of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Lei, is no match for him. Do you know him?"


    Zheng Yu spoke with a hint of hypocrisy, as if he really wanted to introduce his classmates to Brother Hu.


    However, at this moment, Zhao Chengwei and the others, who knew what plans Zheng Yu had, started to secretly rejoice.


    This time, it could be said that they had planned this for a long time. Originally, they had only wanted to win this Brother Hu over, but now, it seemed like Ye Chen was simply throwing his life away by following them.


    "What?" "Ye Chen, is he that Ye Chen who taught me a lesson a while ago?"


    Hu-ge''s tone immediately darkened. He recalled the group of brothers that Young Master Duanmu had called over to teach a youth a lesson.


    When those brothers came back that day, they were all beaten black and blue!


    And the one who had done that was the teenager named Ye Chen. It was said that he was also a student of Beijing High School.


    In that case, of course Ye Chen would not be able to escape!


    "This Ye Chen is a classmate of mine, but he is extremely arrogant, arrogant and disrespectful, he is not a good guy either. He even talked back to me and Young Master Duanmu."


    Zheng Yu''s face was full of arrogance as he casually ridiculed, dispelling the last bit of Brother Hu''s worries.


    Originally, because of Zheng Yu, Brother Hu might not do anything, but now it seemed that it would be impossible for him to not make trouble.


    "Good! Who is Ye Chen? Come out now! You didn''t even pay for teaching me a lesson last time!"


    Hu-ge glared at the crowd below. He was the most loyal person, how could he allow his brother to be humiliated?


    As for Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng Si, they were truly shocked this time.


    Their hearts were thoroughly enraged by Zheng Yu''s shameless behavior, but at this moment, they could only be anxious from the bottom of their hearts ¡­

 C58

    "Ye Chen, this time ¡­" This Zheng Yu is too shameless! "


    Zhao Mengsi whispered, but her mind was in a mess.


    Even though he hated Zheng Yu so much that he could not wait to rush up and chop him into a thousand pieces, what was more important was that Ye Chen was safe at the moment.


    "It''s all my fault. I really shouldn''t have let you up here. Now ¡­"


    Liu Ying Ying Ying was also a little flustered. Her delicate face was filled with worry.


    If he let Brother Hu catch Ye Chen this time, he would not know what would happen to him. He had already heard about the power of these people.


    After all, they weren''t students from a school or something like that.


    If they really started fighting, it would be no small matter.


    No matter how strong Ye Chen was, would he be able to beat that Hu-ge of the Dragon Tiger Hall and his ten or so henchmen?


    "How about you find a chance to run, before that Brother Hu recognizes you ¡­"


    Zhao Mengsi was already suggesting on the side.


    In any case, the area of the KTV room was not small, and if he wanted to escape now, he would have a chance.


    "Ye Chen, what''s wrong?" Do you really think you can escape? I originally thought that you had the guts to provoke us, but who would''ve thought that you would actually dare to touch Brother Hu''s head. Today, we will settle this debt with you! "


    The look in Zheng Yu''s eyes and the crazed shout immediately interrupted Zhao Mengsi''s last thought.


    When the gazes from all four directions looked over, it was obvious that it was unrealistic to think of running away.


    "This is the end ¡­"


    Liu Ying Ying and Ying Ying shared the same thought. They looked at the youth with eyes filled with guilt and self-blame.


    If it wasn''t for the two of them, how could today''s matter have escalated to such a state?


    "Run? Why should I run? "


    Ye Chen, on the other hand, was extremely calm. He gave the two girls a "don''t worry" look, then slowly put down the wine cup in his hand, and arrogantly hit back at Zheng Yu who was on the stage.


    In the eyes of the youth, Brother Hu in front of him might be considered to have some ability, but that was all.


    If one were to talk about fear, that would be truly hehe.


    "Hahaha, Ye Chen, you cowardly turtle, what, you finally can''t hold it back anymore?"


    Zheng Yu laughed maniacally and taunted him without holding back.


    His words and actions made Brother Hu in front of him make up his mind to take care of this kid.


    He had dispelled the last of his misgivings.


    "You are Ye Chen?"


    Hu-ge stared at the indifferent youth and questioned him coldly.


    Compared to Zheng Yu''s mocking and ridicule, his question was a type of absolute suppression and coldness.


    After all, he was a gangster in society. How could he not be intimidated by a youngster who wasn''t even twenty years old?


    But in the next second, he realized his mistake.


    Because, the person standing in front of him was none other than Ye Chen!


    "Yes, so what?"


    Ye Chen was calm, but his tone did not change at all. In fact, because of the people in front of him, his face did not even change at all.


    "Hehe, young people these days are truly ignorant. Don''t you know what kind of place my Dragon Tiger Hall is!?" Our brothers are something that a younger generation like you can teach a lesson to? "


    Hu-ge continued to berate him coldly, but this time, he was also a bit angry.


    With regards to Ye Chen, who had dared to confront him head on, after being famous for so many years, he, the tiger brother, had gained quite a bit of experience.


    Ye Chen, was definitely the most dangerous one!


    "Oh? I never would have thought that this brat would dare to touch my head. This is good! Let''s see how he can continue acting!"


    "It''s one thing for this fellow to be acting in front of Duanmu Lei, but who knew he was so reckless?"


    "You''re still being stubborn even when death is approaching. You really don''t even have to think about what you''re capable of. Fighting with the Dragon Tiger Division, you''re courting death!"


    The mocking and ridicule from Zhao Chengwei and the others was incomparably timely.


    The happiest thing they saw was that Ye Chen was in trouble.


    Besides, the disaster today was not something that he, Ye Chen, could deal with!


    "You! Shameless! No matter what, Ye Chen is still your classmate. You guys are throwing stones at us like this, twisting the facts, do you have any conscience at all? "


    Zhao Meng Si couldn''t help but say.


    The shamelessness of these people could be said to have surpassed the heavens.


    Last time, Ye Chen had attacked twice, but that time, wasn''t it forced out? It was his first time making a move, and he even promoted the martial arts of China, all for the sake of him.


    But now, not only did he not care about the friendship between fellow students, he even spoke ill of them. It could even be said that he was extremely vicious!


    "Hehe, fellow student, do you think this kind of person is worthy to be our classmate?"


    "In my opinion, this scumbag should have long been expelled from our class. How could he still be here? Tell me, who can his status be compared to ours? "He''s just a poor kid from the countryside, we''re the ones who have to show up here because of our charity!"


    Wang Ziyi raised her chin, haughtily looking like a noble white swan.


    She had wanted to kill Ye Chen a long time ago, but she had never found the right opportunity. And today, it was undoubtedly the best opportunity to take revenge.


    "You!"


    Liu Ying Ying was also so angry that her face was flushed red as she stared at the people in front of her.


    However, her imposing manner alone was absolutely unable to suppress the likes of Duanmu Lei.


    "Hahaha, boy, I didn''t expect that you would be called a rat after crossing the street. In that case, let me teach you a lesson in place of your elders today!"


    Hu-ge laughed wildly and waved his hand, but I was still domineering.


    This kind of attitude had a domineering and majestic aura, as if he was in charge of the world. In front of these nineteen and twenty students, he was undoubtedly the overlord of today''s world.


    However, Ye Chen just stood there calmly, not moving at all.


    However, the invisible smile on his face was filled with a sense of danger.


    Teach him a lesson? Not to mention the person in front of him, even if Elder Su was standing here, he still wouldn''t be worthy!


    "Clang!"


    Just as Brother Hu was about to make his move, the door to the KTV room was violently pushed open from the outside.


    A drunk middle-aged man with a big belly and a full mouth full of nonsense barged in.


    Just as he was barely able to stabilize himself, he shouted towards the crowd inside with a drunken demeanor.


    "Keep your voices down for laozi, you''re disturbing laozi''s mood by making such a ruckus!"


    The fatty''s face was covered in oil, and his roar was not polite at all.


    As he roared, he pointed at Hu-ge''s nose and cursed at him.


    Such rudeness and arrogance directly shocked Zheng Yu and the others.


    However, in the blink of an eye, it was filled with boundless rage. What kind of person was Zheng Yu? Then what kind of status was Brother Hu in front of him? What did this fatty count for?


    You still dare to teach them a lesson here?


    "You want me to return the favor? Brothers, kick this fatty out! This is my place today, I want to see who dares to disturb me! "


    Brother Hu''s order could be said to be incomparably arrogant. That fatty was naturally sent flying by the group of people, scaring everyone in the hall into silence ¡­

 C59

    Looking at the fatty that was directly invited out, everyone felt their hearts jump.


    He had originally thought that Brother Hu would only be as tyrannical and tyrannical as he was rumored to be, but he hadn''t thought that he would discover the true terror after witnessing it with his own eyes!


    "Everyone, just play. I''ll cover for you today!"


    Hu-ge laughed maniacally, looking extremely domineering.


    In another luxurious box next to the KTV, there was a middle-aged man wearing black sunglasses. He was smoking a cigar and enjoying the explosive rock and roll music.


    Beside him were two women with voluptuous bodies. They were wearing revealing clothing as they presented the scenery to the public. They served him respectfully by the side. They had timid and seductive looks on their faces as if they were afraid of offending the man in shades.


    "Clang!"


    The door was pushed open, and the fat man from before stumbled in. However, the current him was no longer as radiant as he was before.


    On the other side, Hu-ge invited him out, but he was not polite at all.


    At this moment, he was badly battered and bruised, with a tinge of color on his face. If it wasn''t for the fact that he was drunk, how could he still be so calm? Most likely, that intense pain would be enough to make the fatty howl for a while.


    "Boss Li? "What''s going on? He won''t fall like this even if he goes to the toilet, will he?"


    The man in shades lifted his eyes and asked in surprise.


    From this tone of concern, it could be seen that the relationship between the two wasn''t shallow.


    "Ai, Director Wang, don''t mention it. I just got drunk and went through the wrong door. Fuck, I got beaten up by those little bastards next door. I''ve been really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"


    The fatty called Director Li laid his butt on the sofa and cursed fiercely.


    One had to know that he, Li Mantian, was still a big shot. In South Sky City, it was a big shot with billions of dollars. The reason he came to Yan Jing this time was to pay a visit to Director Wang. Who would have known that he would be bullied like a tiger!


    "Someone dares to teach you a lesson? "Truly courting death, daring to act disrespectfully towards this daddy''s people, I want to see just what kind of deity this is!"


    The middle-aged man waved his hand and pushed away the two women beside him.


    Looking at this, he was also a little angry.


    Who would have thought that in this Yan Jing city, there would still be someone who dared to teach his guest a lesson?


    "Let''s go, Director Li. Bring me over, I''ll help you teach these arrogant kids a lesson!"


    He extinguished his cigar and stood up aggressively. The black clothed bodyguards behind him immediately responded and followed.


    On the other side, how would Brother Hu know about the trouble caused by his heroic spirit?


    Right now, he was really thinking about how to teach Ye Chen, who was standing in front of him, a lesson.


    "Clang!"


    Before he could attack Ye Chen, the KTV''s door was kicked open once again!


    The strength of the blow this time was so strong that it seemed as if the door would be completely shattered into pieces.


    "F * ck, who dares to come?! What do you think my Brother Hu is?! Did you f * cking not get enough of beating him up?!"


    Hu-ge let out a loud shout and was prepared to deal with this suicidal visitor.


    How could his Dragon Tiger Hall''s face be so insulted?


    However, the other party''s response caused the entire arena to turn deathly silent in the next moment!


    "Brother Hu? Brother Hu of the Longhu Hall in Beijing? "Since when did you, the insignificant Dragon Tiger Division, dare to ride on my, your father''s, Wang Haotian''s back!"


    The man in shades coldly berated. Immediately, it caused the people in front of him to be dumbfounded!


    Even those lackeys who listened to Hu-ge and were preparing to attack at the front were scared stiff!


    "Wang... Wang Haotian, Wang ¡­ Director Wang! "


    Brother Hu stood rooted to the spot in a daze. The previously arrogant aura immediately vanished into thin air!


    What kind of person was standing in front of him?


    Jiangnan Wang Haotian! He was one of the three overlords of the southern region, the black and white merchants who were capable of eating!


    For such a character, not to mention his insignificant Dragon Tiger Hall, even if some first-rate family head were to stand here, they would have to be polite to him.


    The power and influence of Wang Haotian''s subordinates, how could a small existence like the Dragon Tiger Hall compare to him?


    It could be said that his Dragon Tiger Hall had a reputation in Yan Jing, but Wang Haotian was a formidable existence in this Jiang-Nan province! Why would she be afraid of him?


    "Brother Hu, who is Wang Haotian, chase him away ¡­"


    "Shut up!" Don''t you f * cking look at who''s in front of you! "


    Zheng Yu was about to arrogantly retaliate, but before he could finish, he was fiercely choked back by Brother Hu in front of him!


    This kind of face-smacking was simply a clapping sound!


    At this moment, not only was Zheng Yu stunned, even the others present were completely dumbstruck as well.


    Who would have thought that the man in shades that suddenly appeared would make Zheng Yu and this infamous Brother Hu fear him to such an extent!


    "Wang... Director Wang! "


    Zheng Yu seemed to have thought of something and immediately collapsed. His expression was as though he had just eaten a dead rat!


    Director Wang! What kind of person was that? Let alone him, even if his father was here, he would still have to be courteous to him!


    In the eyes of others, a mere Zheng Family was an existence that could be slapped off with a flip of the hand!


    "What is it? Didn''t you guys want to come up and dare to leave? Why don''t you guys come instead? "


    Wang Haotian''s face was filled with a domineering aura as he coldly stared at Zheng Yu and Brother Hu.


    At this moment, how could the latter have the courage to face the other party head on?


    At this moment, he felt a chill run down his spine, and even his legs started trembling.


    As for Wang Ziyi, Zhao Chengwei, and the others who were planning to bring out their family members, they were dumbfounded!


    Even Zheng Yu had fallen into such a predicament, not to mention them?


    If he said it out, the other side wouldn''t care and would just viciously slap him!


    "Speak, who was the one who hit Director Li just now? This is my guest. If you dare touch him, then that is me!"


    Wang Haotian coldly reprimanded. The moment the domineering aura of the Jiangnan hegemon appeared, Brother Hu and Zheng Yu, who were standing in front of him, were completely stunned.


    These two had been as arrogant as overlords on a mountain, but now, they could only follow behind Director Wang. They were obedient and obedient!


    And this was the absolute suppression of status and strength!


    "Wang... Director Wang, please calm your anger. Just now, our brothers from the Dragon Tiger Hall were being reckless. Please ¡­


    "Pah!"


    Director Wang showed no trace of politeness as he raised his hand to slap Brother Hu!


    "Reckless? Don''t you know who it is? You all cannot afford to offend me! "

 C60

    When Li Mantian saw someone come out for him, he instantly became arrogant.


    The drunkenness from before had woken up somewhat. When he looked at Zheng Yu, Brother Hu, and the others, it was as if a cat had seen a mouse. No matter what, he had to properly clean it up.


    "Hehe, you are that Brother Hu? "You still dare to teach your father a lesson?"


    Director Li glared fiercely at Hu-ge, who was slapped, without even daring to retort.


    The current Brother Hu no longer had even the slightest bit of power from before.


    Not to mention resisting, he didn''t even dare to fart in front of these people.


    "What is it? You''re not moving now? "Hmm?"


    Director Li seemed to have thought of something as he turned around to look at Zheng Yu and Wang Ziyi, who were standing behind him. When he was kicked out of the room, these people had mocked him with cold words.


    After all, these people usually relied on their superior attitude to bully others. Since they had this opportunity, they would naturally not let it go.


    "You guys, weren''t you all acting very arrogantly just now? "And you, your little face is not bad. However, your mouth is so venomous!"


    Director Li took a big step forward and headed straight for Wang Ziyi, who was the most boisterous earlier.


    A snapping sound could be heard as a bright red handprint appeared on Wang Ziyi''s face.


    "Director Li, I hope that our Zheng Family and the Dragon Tiger Hall will give face. Let''s just forget about today''s matter ¡­"


    When he saw the person he brought was dealt with in such a manner, Zheng Yu finally couldn''t help but speak up.


    If this continued, not only would the Zheng Family lose their reputation, but he would also be taught a lesson today.


    "Face? "Fine, I''ll give you guys face today. You can leave, but you must keep the few people over there!"


    A hint of vulgarity and evil appeared on Director Li''s oily face, especially when his gaze landed on Liu Ying Ying''s light red short skirt and exposed slender legs. He became even more excited.


    From the looks of it, Director Li was planning on making use of this opportunity to take advantage of them.


    "This... Director Li! "


    Zheng Yu panicked a little. Even though he didn''t have a good relationship with Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng Si, the origins of these two people were not simple. If they were to suffer any harm because of him, the Zheng Family would definitely not be able to withstand the revenge later on!


    "Hurry up and f * ck off! "I just want you girls to stay and drink with me. If you don''t leave now, all of you can stay!"


    Director Li shouted coldly, completely ignoring Duanmu Lei, whose complexion had alternated between green and white.


    If this continued, everyone would know what it meant.


    "Zheng Yu, let''s go. We don''t need to care about those people. Otherwise, we''ll have to stay here!"


    It was as if the two of them had come to life as they muttered, completely disregarding Zhao Meng and Liu Yingying''s feelings. In any case, it wasn''t as if they were the ones remaining today.


    "Bastard, I won''t stay here!"


    Zhao Mengsi was the first to call out to them. She would not allow these people to command them.


    "Also, you guys are really shameless. If you cause trouble, you want to leave yourself first. Scum like you don''t deserve to stay in Yan Jing High School!"


    Zhao Meng Si almost roared out loud. The shamelessness and shamelessness of these people was simply beyond the reach of the heavens!


    "So what? All of you, just obediently stay!"


    Wang Ziyi continued to mock him, not caring about his face at all.


    "Enough!"


    Suddenly, Director Li''s expression turned cold as he glared fiercely at the people in front of him. This time, he was truly annoyed.


    However, when his gaze landed on Liu Ying Ying''s body, it started to become blurry.


    His vulgar gaze raked over the young girl in waves, as if he wanted to see the light of day.


    "Haha, you, come over here. I''m so happy today, maybe I can spare you!"


    Director Li pointed at Liu Ying Ying who was not far away and called out sinisterly.


    Compared to Wang Ziyi, this Liu Ying Ying was as good as heaven and earth. She was on a completely different level.


    "Scum, don''t even think about ¡­"


    Before Liu Yingying could finish her sentence, Ye Chen, who had suddenly stepped forward, was already standing right in front of her, blocking her way. This had also calmed the girl down from her panic.


    No matter what, it was as if as long as one stood behind the youth, they would be completely protected.


    "Director Li, give me some face. These two are my friends."


    Ye Chen''s gentle words had instantly broken the silent atmosphere.


    The youth''s face was as calm as water, not a single ripple caused by these unforeseen events.


    "Give me face? Who are your parents? Which family are you from? "


    Director Li was slightly stunned. He clearly did not expect that at this time, there would actually be someone who dared to come forward.


    But looking at Ye Chen''s dressing, it was obvious that he did not belong to any rich or powerful family.


    "I don''t have a family, I don''t have any power, and I have no background. As for my parents, they are just ordinary people."


    Ye Chen was extremely calm, he spat out word by word.


    However, the moment he said that, not only Director Li, but Zheng Yu, Brother Hu, and the others could not help but curse loudly.


    For someone like him to dare to stir up trouble, did he want everyone to f * cking die together with him?


    "Hahaha, you''re giving me face? What the f * ck do you think you are! "


    Director Li laughed loudly. The laughter was filled with contempt and disdain, and it spread throughout the entire hall.


    Following which, there were even bursts of ridicule.


    "Ye Chen, you want to die, don''t drag us down with you!"


    "That''s right. Why don''t you take a look at who the person in front of you is?!"


    "That''s right, that''s Director Li. He''s someone you can''t afford to offend, why are you making a joke here!"


    At this moment, even the faces of Liu Ying Ying and Zhao Meng, who were standing behind Ye Chen, changed.


    He had originally thought that Ye Chen had some sort of background or trump card that could let him gain some face, but now, it seemed that it was not the case.


    At this moment, no matter how powerful Ye Chen was, what could he do?


    However, the youth''s indifference was something that no one could disturb.


    Ye Chen was still calmly staring at the people in front of him. Within his dark eyes, a cold light flashed.


    In the next moment, the words that were spoken caused the entire arena to turn deathly silent!


    "The life and death of Zheng Yu and the others have nothing to do with me. You can punish them however you wish. "However, my friend Ye Chen, if you want to move against me, you are not qualified to do so!"


    "I am someone you cannot afford to offend!"

 C61

    Ye Chen stood there calmly, with those black eyes flashing with a cold light, which made Director Li, who was standing in front of him, shudder.


    However, it was only for a second. After reacting to it, it was undoubtedly a taunt and a blow to Ye Chen who was standing right in front of it!


    For the time being, let''s not mention the identity and position of this Director Wang behind him, it should be known that even he himself could absolutely suppress this kid with no background!


    "You arrogant brat, I wonder where a bastard like you came from, and you still dare to make a ruckus in front of me. I think you must be tired of living ¡­"


    "Pah!" "Pah!"


    Suddenly, two crisp slaps sounded out, interrupting Director Li''s curses.


    By the time everyone had reacted, they saw that there were already two bright red handprints on Li Mantian''s face. The color was so bright that it could drip blood!


    Seeing this strange scene, almost everyone was stunned!


    That Ye Chen actually dared to hit Director Li in front of him! It was still such two slaps that no one had ever heard of!


    One had to know that Director Wang, who was behind him a moment ago, was someone who had slapped Brother Hu. In that place, he didn''t even dare to say a single word!


    "You! You actually dared to hit me! "You''re courting death!"


    That Director Li almost instantly roared.


    Director Wang, who was standing aside, could not help but frown. When he looked at Ye Chen again, his eyes were filled with anger.


    This brat actually dared to hit his own people in front of him!


    This was equivalent to slapping Director Wang''s face!


    "Go and teach this kid a lesson!"


    Director Wang gave a cold humph, the group of bodyguards in black standing behind him had long been ready to go all out, and they all rushed up to Ye Chen aggressively. How could they let Ye Chen go at this kind of time?


    "Hehe, I thought you were quite capable. Aren''t you looking to die?"


    Wang Ziyi and the others looked at Ye Chen who had just appeared, and could not help but mock him.


    "Trash, trying to kill us all!"


    They would never believe that even if Ye Chen could fight again, would he be able to fight against a group of professional bodyguards?


    The men in black in front of him were not street hooligans at all.


    They were definitely elites who had undergone professional training. Furthermore, they were martial cultivators. When they fought, their battle strength was definitely not something that ordinary people could compare to!


    This Ye Chen was just courting death!


    But how could they know that in the eyes of this young man, the ones who were truly ignorant and seeking death were these people!


    "Bang, bang, bang!"


    A series of muffled snorts sounded out, and when everyone finally reacted, they were completely dumbfounded!


    No, it should be said that his view of the world had been completely overturned!


    The bodyguards in black who had been showing off their strength were now all lying on the ground like dead dogs, wailing in pain. They no longer had any trace of their previous might.


    As for Ye Chen, not only was he not hurt at all, he was still standing there motionlessly!


    All of this happened in less than a minute!


    "A bunch of trash at the first level of Body Tempering Stage! Who else is there? "


    Ye Chen''s cold and indifferent voice slowly spread out.


    However, this time, no one dared to refute him lightly!


    "This... This kid, what''s going on! "


    Director Wang''s face was ashen, and the smile on his face froze.


    As for Director Li, who was standing at the side, he had long since been standing there, completely dumbstruck! Who would have thought that this youth, who was not even twenty years old, would actually be a legendary martial arts master?!


    Furthermore, he was such a young martial arts master!


    "F * ck, A-Biao, get out here!"


    Director Wang''s expression suddenly turned cold as he coldly shouted behind him.


    Having roamed the world for so many years, he had some experience. Naturally, he knew how difficult it was to deal with this kind of martial arts master in front of him.


    And the only way was to let the stronger cultivators compete with him!


    A burly, bare-armed man slowly walked in from behind that door, staring at Ye Chen without any expression on his face.


    The bloodlust and killing intent that flowed out from his eyes were not something that ordinary people could compare with. It could be said that this kind of person was definitely an expert with rich combat experience. Who knew who would be the one to lose?


    "Good boy, I want to see how you can still act so arrogantly!"


    Director Wang gave a cold harrumph, and A-Biao shot forward like an arrow.


    In that instant, the aura that erupted out directly suppressed everyone before him!


    The instant upheaval of inner energy that belonged to cultivators was as if it created an invisible pressure in the entire place. It made the crowd feel as if their chests were stuffy and their footsteps became heavier.


    The punch that sounded like it was tearing through the air tore the air in front of him as it whistled through the air towards him!


    "Second Sky of Body Tempering Realm middle stage? "It''s nothing more than that!"


    Ye Chen gave a cold snort inside his heart as well. In that second, the surging Zhen Qi had also reached a terrifying peak!


    Originally, as an immortal cultivator, he already had an absolute advantage in terms of zhenqi. Moreover, this was in a situation where his cultivation level was higher than the person in front of him!


    The palm attack, which was approaching without any gaudiness, seemed to have the power to overturn the heavens and overturn the earth. It was unstoppable!


    "What!"


    "Crack crack!"


    Before Ah Biao''s horrified shout could fall, the fist in front of him had already slammed into the palm of the youth. The originally unstoppable fist came to an abrupt halt the instant it came into contact with the youth''s palm!


    The strength on it appeared to have been completely suppressed without any signs of exploding.


    In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen''s palm had turned into a fist, tightly clenching Ah Biao''s casserole like fist. Even though Ah Biao had the power of a dragon and tiger, he could not get rid of Ah Biao at all!


    "Bam!"


    Accompanied by a low grunt and the sound of bones breaking, Ah Biao, who had thrown out that punch, was pushed away by Ye Chen, and was thrown away like a piece of trash.


    Not to mention doing any damage to Ye Chen, from beginning to end, he had been completely suppressed!


    "You! "How is this possible!?"


    At this time, both Director Li and Director Wang were completely dumbfounded. Their faces were completely frozen, and the fat on their faces even trembled. They were extremely terrified at the bottom of their hearts.


    Ah Biao had followed Director Wang for so many years, that''s why he was clearer than anyone else.


    And today, he had actually suffered such a crushing defeat at the hands of a youth!


    "This!" "Ye Chen, you!"


    Zheng Yu, Wang Ziyi, and the others were also stunned on the spot!


    This was especially true for Wang Ziyi, who had previously mocked him. Now, her face turned deathly pale as the fear in her heart began to surge. She felt as if the entire world had become unreal!


    For Ye Chen to actually have this kind of power, then the outcome would be obvious!


    As long as Ye Chen said it, no one would care about them anymore.


    All of them were just clowns who did not know their limits, and Ye Chen was the real king.


    "I told you! I, Ye Chen, am someone you cannot afford to offend!"

 C62

    The youth''s cold words resounded in everyone''s ears. However, this time, they were like a thunderclap that exploded in the clear sky!


    With such a young age and such strength that no one could match up to, who in this place could afford to offend him!


    "Leaves..." Master Ye, I, Wang Zhong, was the one who failed in my judgement. Please have mercy on what happened today. "


    Director Wang''s expression changed dramatically. When he looked at Ye Chen again, there was a hint of fear and respect in his eyes!


    He, Wang Haotian, wouldn''t dare to rashly provoke such a person. However, he, Wang Haotian, would definitely suffer this loss today!


    "Master Ye, I was in the wrong. I am sorry for what I just said!"


    Director Li''s face had almost turned the color of a pig''s liver, but when he looked at Ye Chen in front of him, his tone had unconsciously weakened.


    At this moment, other than apologizing to Ye Chen, the rest of them had no other choice.


    "This kid!"


    This time, Zheng Yu was so angry that his face turned purple. Today, Ye Chen had undoubtedly stepped on him hard!


    As a dignified young master of the Zheng Family, he could only lower himself to Director Li in front of him at this kind of occasion.


    But in the blink of an eye, Director Li and Director Wang called Ye Chen, who they had always looked at with contempt, master! This was undoubtedly the most ironic thing in his life.


    Especially when some of the students that came with him, when they looked at Zheng Yu, the strange expression on their faces was even more self-evident.


    As for some of the girls, their eyes had already started to shine as they looked at Ye Chen.


    This so-called young master of the Zheng family, this so-called big boss, compared to the current Ye Chen, it was nothing at all!


    "This brat, is he the normal person you spoke of?" Are you f * cking trying to harm me? "


    Brother Hu seemed to be filled with grievance as he glared fiercely at Zheng Yu at the side.


    If he and the youth had fought before, he could guarantee that he would die without even knowing how!


    How could such a grand master be an existence that they could provoke!


    "Ying Ying, looks like you have good eyes ¡­"


    On the other side, Zhao Meng could not help but exclaim in admiration. This time, she would not dare to make a single sarcastic remark at Ye Chen.


    Because the actions of this young man were definitely a great hero that could support both heaven and earth!


    "His strength ¡­"


    The girl could not help but mutter to herself. However, in her eyes, Ye Chen seemed even more worshipful.


    Right now, Ye Chen had already become a god-like figure in their eyes!


    "Clang!"


    While everyone was still in shock, the KTV''s door was violently pushed open once again.


    However, this time, the person who entered caused Brother Hu, Zheng Yu, and Director Li to be stunned once again!


    That person was none other than the first-rate power in Yan Jing, the Su family with a mysterious background, Elder Su!


    "Wang Haotian, you dare to touch him? Do you know who he is? The esteemed guests of my Su Family are not people that you can offend! "


    Old Man Su yelled angrily at Wang Haotian.


    He rushed over, but before he even entered the room and heard the sounds of fighting, he walked in. Looking at the messy scene in front of him, he naturally guessed what had just happened.


    However, he had not expected that Ye Chen would actually start a conflict with such a person.


    One had to know that Wang Haotian was a very famous person in the Jiangnan region. He was not someone one could casually offend.


    "Old Man Su, he''s a VIP from your Su family?"


    Director Wang was stunned on the spot.


    The Su Clan was one of the son of Old Man Su. His businesses in Yan Jing had reached the level of a first-rate family. Moreover, the Su Clan also had some stealth industries that were spread all over Jiangnan.


    What caused Wang Haotian even more dread was the relationship between the Su Clan and the Fang Clan.


    As the leader of the Jiang Nan generation, Wang Haotian naturally knew that Elder Su''s identity was one that even some of the Jiang Nan tycoons did not dare to offend!


    But at this moment, he actually said that the youth in front of him was a VIP guest of their Su Clan!


    "I don''t mind telling you, it''s not just our Su Clan that wants to invite Master Ye, it''s also the Ouyang Clan of Jiangnan. If you dare to touch him today, you''ll have to wait for your true revenge tomorrow!"


    Old Man Su seemed to be in a rage. His subsequent roar was like a thunderclap that caused everyone in front of him to be stunned.


    The Ouyang Family of Jiangnan, one of the four great families of Jiangnan!


    There was almost no need to explain the existence of such a heavyweight.


    Compared to the first-rate and second-rate families in Yan Jing, this one in Jiangnan was an existence that could crush anyone!


    "What!?" "Ye Chen actually ¡­!"


    At this moment, not only was Director Li and Director Wang stunned, even Brother Hu, Zheng Yu and the rest were also stunned on the spot, not moving an inch.


    As for Wang Ziyi, Zhao Manwei, and the rest, they had all been scared silly!


    Is this what it means to have no status? No power? No background!


    The sudden revelation of his background was enough to cause everyone present to tremble!


    This time, Hu-ge felt a chill on his back, but he felt extremely lucky.


    Luckily, he didn''t attack the youth earlier; otherwise, he would have been courting death!


    "This... "Ying Ying, your Ye Chen ¡­"


    This time, Zhao Mengsi was really stunned.


    This was the first time that he had truly been stunned by the youth''s terror.


    Liu Ying Ying Ying looked at the youth in front of her. Her limpid eyes seemed to flash with a strange light. She stood in a daze on the spot, unable to utter another word.


    Who would have thought that there would be such a powerful figure behind this normally low-key youth!


    "Master Ye, are you alright? I''m really sorry for being late today."


    Old Man Su cupped his hands towards Ye Chen respectfully, it seemed like he did not treat Ye Chen as a junior at all.


    It even treated him like a senior!


    The last time Ye Chen had left a high-rank cultivation technique for the Su family, it had already made this young man''s status even higher. And in the previous auction, in order to get more ingredients, Ye Chen''s actions had shocked everyone!


    Of course, Old Man Su would not be confused about this sort of great master, who seemed to have saved his life.


    Whether it was him or the Su Family, Ye Chen had this kind of status.


    "It''s nothing. It''s just a small matter. Let''s talk somewhere else."


    Ye Chen waved his hand casually, completely ignoring the people in front of him.


    It was as if nothing had happened at all ¡­

 C63

    Outside the hotel, a Land Rover with white license plate was waiting for Old Man Su and co. inside.


    This luxurious matching car had a unique identification mark. As long as one knew something, they wouldn''t dare to provoke it. This white license plate was the exclusive identification mark used in the military.


    "Master Ye, please. To be honest, it''s my old friend, Ouyang Hong, who wants to meet you. As for his specific details, I''m not too sure either."


    Old Man Su explained to Ye Chen as he led Ye Chen.


    Ouyang Xue, who came with Old Man Su, jumped out of the car as if she couldn''t wait any longer.


    If it wasn''t for his grandfather making him wait outside, she wouldn''t have obediently stayed here.


    "Ye Chen, long time no see. I still wanted to play with you, but today, we are going to find that weird temper grandpa."


    Su Xue''er pouted and her previously smiling face immediately darkened.


    It seemed like this little girl had some objections towards the Ouyang Hong that Old Man Su spoke of.


    "Be good, Xue''er. I''ll take you to play in the future, okay?"


    Ye Chen smiled, looking at this cute little girl, he could not help but comfort her.


    "Sure, sure!"


    Su Xue''er seemed to have instantly become alive and lively. The pigtails on her back were all lifted up by her. Her naive and innocent appearance, coupled with his delicate baby face, made her look instantly adorable.


    "Xue''er, you''re not allowed to cause trouble."


    Elder Su saw the intimate relationship between the two, so he was not surprised. He merely indicated to his granddaughter with a soft voice.


    When the Su Family was treating him, Ye Chen had mentioned that Su Xue''er was extremely talented and that the Su Family needed to be nurtured.


    The meaning behind his words was that he had a good impression of this little girl.


    With Ye Chen''s current talent and status, to the Su Family, this kind of thing was definitely beneficial for them.


    After the Land Rover had left, the events in the hotel were all over for Ye Chen.


    However, the shock left by Zheng Yu, Brother Tiger, and Director Wang was something that took a long time to calm down even now.


    Inside the car, Su Xue''er was excitedly telling Ye Chen all kinds of interesting stories. She told him about everything she had learned in the past few days, and Ye Chen listened to her patiently, as the two got along very well.


    After listening to Su Xue''er''s description, these past few days, the Su Clan was like what she had warned them before, nurturing this little girl.


    To be able to reach the peak of the middle level of the Refinement Stage before the age of thirteen was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.


    Furthermore, with the Su Clan''s mental cultivation method that he had modified, it was obvious that it would benefit the little girl.


    The pleasant time on the road passed by quickly, and soon, Ye Chen and his group arrived at their destination, which was Ouyang Hong, who Old Man Su had mentioned to them as an old friend.


    Since it''s someone from Old Man Su''s generation, then it''s naturally someone on the senior level as well.


    As for the general situation of the Ouyang family, Ye Chen had already gotten a rough idea about it along the way.


    Apart from the name of one of the four great clans of Jiangnan, the Ouyang family also had a great connection to the Jiangnan military region.


    Even Elder Su from the Su family dared not to touch the current Su family in Yan Jing because of his relationship with them.


    Even if the Su Clan''s businesses in Yan Jing were not as good as the Lin Clan''s, the Lin Clan would definitely not dare to rashly approach Old Man Su. It was like asking for trouble.


    As the car slowly stopped, a grand and domineering manor appeared before the youth''s eyes.


    Compared to the Imperial Origin Pavilion, this place was majestic and magnificent. However, the beautiful trees and green trees that adorned the place added to the serenity of this villa that was built on a mountain.


    "We''re here. This is his residence."


    The group got out of the car. Old Man Su was pointing the way for Ye Chen and Ye Chen, as they walked straight towards the yard in the manor.


    The interior of the courtyard was extremely spacious. Fine trees formed a shade, and a pool of jade-green water sparkled as the surface of the lake rippled.


    Under a willow by the lake, a young man in white, who looked to be about the same age as Ye Chen, was practicing a set of fist art.


    Beside him was an old man wearing a Tang suit who seemed somewhat saintly. He gently stroked his white beard as he stared at the young man in white''s practice. His eyes were filled with a sense of gratification and approval.


    Seeing the two of them practicing, Old Man Su did not interrupt them. He brought Ye Chen and Su Xue''er and silently moved towards that direction. Old Man Su was also staring at that young man in white who was practicing his fist arts. His eyes flashed with surprise and admiration.


    "Hah! Hah!"


    The youth in white was gathering his Qi and circulating his inner force, the wind in his fist suddenly exploded out. His body suddenly turned and punched down at the weeping willow behind him.


    At this moment, the willow branch that was originally hanging down actually began to sway by itself without any wind, and let out a slight rustling sound.


    "Wonderful, I never thought that Young Master Ouyang''s Wind Breaking Fist would actually reach such a level!"


    When the punch landed, Elder Su couldn''t help but clap and exclaim continuously.


    The famous ultimate skill of the Ouyang Family, the Wind Shattering Fist, had a certain level of wind resistance. If one wanted to affect the willow branches on the tree at a distance of a few meters, without reaching the level of a master at releasing inner strength, even Elder Su could only sigh in admiration.


    "Elder Su, you finally came. I''ve been waiting here for a long time!"


    The Tang suit wearing old man turned around with a pleasant expression and looked at Elder Su in front of him. He was filled with joy.


    However, it could also be seen that the praise from Old Man Su just now caused him, who was his grandfather, to feel a bit excited as well.


    When cultivators reached their age, they no longer compared themselves to one another. Instead, they wished for their own young to have a few talents. That would be more gratifying than anything.


    "Xue''er, you''re here too. Your cultivation has improved quite a bit."


    The Tang suit wearing elder turned to look at Su Xue''er, his eyes filled with love. It was obvious that the old man had interacted quite a bit with this little girl.


    "You flatter me. Xue''er is usually not diligent in her cultivation and has been training for a long time. Regardless of realm or talent, how could she compare to Young Master Ouyang?"


    Elder Su looked dotingly at Xue''er beside him, his tone carrying a hint of reproach and disappointment.


    It could be seen that because Su Xue''er was inferior to someone, Elder Su felt somewhat guilty.


    "Grandfather, Xue''er has been working hard recently. She hasn''t been dragged out at all. I don''t believe that I can demonstrate it and compete with her!"


    Su Xue''er pouted her lips in anger. She, who had always been competitive since she was young, had been thinking about how to compete with Ye Chen. How could she be afraid of this young master Ouyang Zhi today?


    And, because of what Ye Chen had left behind last time, Su Xue''er had been practicing for a long time in order to show off in front of that teenager.


    With her exceptional talent and quick mind, there was no problem at all.


    However, the Ouyang Zhi in front of her was at the peak of the first level of Refinement Stage ¡­

 C64

    "Xue''er, stop messing around. How could you possibly be a match for Young Master Ouyang?!"


    Elder Su hurriedly spoke up to stop Su Xue''er when he saw her eager appearance.


    His granddaughter was only at the peak of the first level of Body Tempering Stage, whereas this white-clothed youth in front of him, who looked to be around seventeen or eighteen, had already reached the late stage of the first level of Body Tempering Stage.


    There was a huge gap between the two of them, so how could he be their opponent?


    Generally speaking, even if one was at the late First Sky of Sky Realm, there would still be some gap between the entry level and the peak level. Not to mention that the current Ouyang Zhi had practiced the Windy Fist to the peak of perfection.


    "That''s right, Xue''er. Although your talent is not bad, Zhi''er is older than you, and there is a gap in their realms. You''ve been practicing the Windy Fist for a long time. If you compare it with him, he''ll hurt you."


    The Tang suit wearing old man also began to persuade.


    Although he felt very proud of his grandson''s achievements, he didn''t want Ouyang Zhi to be compared to Su Xue''er. At that time, it wouldn''t be good if he really injured this little girl.


    "Even in our Ouyang Family, there are very few people of the same generation who can match up to Zhi''er''s Windy Fist. Each move of his fist has basically reached the peak of his cultivation level. If compared with the current you, it will only take two exchanges to injure you."


    Seemingly worried that Su Xue''er wouldn''t give up, the elderly Ouyang stroked his beard as he continued to persuade the young girl in front of him.


    No matter what, in their eyes, Su Xue''er had absolutely no chance of winning.


    "Xue''er, you''d better not compete ¡­"


    "Really?" I don''t think so! "


    Before Old Man Su finished speaking, the calm voice of the youth that abruptly sounded out directly interrupted the two old men''s conversation.


    The one who had said that was naturally Ye Chen, who had been standing calmly to the side all this time.


    He had been observing the old man and the young man in white from the beginning until now.


    "Elder Su, this is?"


    The old man was surprised as he asked.


    It was only now that the elderly Ouyang finally noticed the teenager for the first time. Because Elder Su had not introduced Ye Chen earlier and Ye Chen did not say anything, he was directly treated as a servant of the Su Family and ignored.


    "Oh, oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is the Master Ye I mentioned to you before, Ye Chen."


    Speaking of Ye Chen, Elder Su did not dare to be negligent at all. He hurriedly introduced Ye Chen to the elder in the Tang suit.


    However, Ye Chen''s "I don''t think so" had still annoyed the old man. It was okay with him and Old Man Su to know about Ye Chen''s power, but he was not an ordinary person. But for the elderly Ouyang, things were different.


    One had to know that he, the honored tutor, was also an existence of the martial arts world''s highest ranking. How could he not even see the outcome of a match between two juniors? What''s more, it was in a situation where the difference in strength between the two sides was so great.


    "Little friend, you just said that it might not be true, what do you mean by that?"


    Old Man Ouyang paused for a second, but still could not help but ask Ye Chen.


    However, his tone was far inferior to Elder Su''s respectful and courteous tone. There was even a trace of contempt and disdain.


    For such a junior, not only was he addressed as a master, he even dared to make such a casual comment. Naturally, the first impression that he received would not be any better.


    "Although Young Master Ouyang''s fist techniques are steady and swift, and he is considered one of the best among his peers, he has also grasped a bit of the essence of the Windy Fist."


    Ye Chen slowly opened his mouth and said his opinion. However, the following half sentence, directly made the Ouyang grandpa''s face turn ugly.


    "However, it was formed, but not the intention. This kind of fist technique can only be described as flashy and unrealistic. If we truly compare it to Su Xue''er, it can''t even be compared!"


    "What?"


    Old Man Ouyang''s beard couldn''t help but twitch as his expression darkened.


    His grandson, who had just been praised to the heavens, was actually belittled by Ye Chen to the point of being inferior to Su Xue''er. Now, it was hard for the elderly Ouyang to accept this.


    "Master Ye, this... But young master Ouyang has the advantage of cultivation base after all ¡­ "


    Elder Su''s expression showed a hint of awkwardness.


    Although Ye Chen had praised his granddaughter, if he had, not only would he offend his old friend, but his granddaughter would also suffer a lot.


    After all, the disparity in strength was enormous, and there wouldn''t be any good consequences in comparison.


    However, facing Elder Su''s question, Ye Chen seemed extremely calm and confident.


    "Even if there is a gap in cultivation realm between the two, Xue''er''s martial arts are superior, and she has the advantage of footwork. Not only will she not be at a disadvantage, she can even be superior!"


    These seemingly final words immediately caused Su Xue''er, who was to the side, to jump up and down as she cheered.


    This was the first time in a long time that Ye Chen had praised himself in front of his grandfather.


    "Brother Ye Chen is right, I want to compete, I will not lose to him!"


    Su Xue''er stubbornly bit her lips as she complained to Elder Su.


    Judging from his demeanor today, he would never give up until he was a match for Ouyang Zhi.


    "Xue''er ¡­"


    Seeing that Ye Chen was so sure, it was Elder Su''s turn to hesitate.


    He had seen Ye Chen''s power before. Even as a half-step master, he was still ashamed.


    Right now, Ye Chen actually said that Su Xue''er could actually beat that young man in white in front of her.


    "Zhi-er, come over here and compete with Snowy. Remember, don''t hurt her."


    Old Man Ouyang finally couldn''t hold it in any longer.


    He wanted to prove that he was right, but he could not find the words to refute the youth in front of him.


    It had to be said that what Ye Chen had said was true, without being able to refute him at all.


    Since that was the case, he could only follow Xue''er''s wishes and let these two people compete against each other. Otherwise, the debate today wouldn''t be able to calm down.


    "Ah?" I''ll compete with her? "


    The youth in white was puzzled. Looking at Su Xue''er waving her little fist in front of him, he felt like he couldn''t make a move.


    After all, the gap between the two of them was simply too great.


    "Yes, you should be careful. Today, I would like to see what this Great Master Ye''s eye of discernment is!"


    Old Man Ouyang glared at the youth at his side with some anger in his eyes.


    He really wanted to know just what ability this young man had. To be so presumptuous in front of him, a martial art battle ¡­

 C65

    Although Ouyang Zhi was a bit hesitant, since his grandfather had spoken, he naturally didn''t dare to be negligent.


    Facing Su Xue''er, he really did not have any intention of valuing her.


    With his current late stage of the First Sky of Body Tempering Realm, coupled with the support of the Wind Breaking Fist, fighting Su Xue''er in front of him was without a doubt a matter of a flip of his hand.


    "Do it, you asked for it."


    Ouyang Zhi helplessly sighed, and said with slight disdain to Su Xue''er in front of him.


    However, when he turned around and looked at Ye Chen, his eyes were full of contempt and ridicule.


    This youngster who looked to be only slightly older than her actually had the qualifications to call himself a master. Moreover, he even dared to look down on her, saying that Su Xue''er in front of him could defeat him.


    If it was anyone else who heard this, they would feel quite displeased.


    Not to mention, he was the Ouyang Clan''s proud son of heaven, Ouyang Zhi!


    "Is that so? You better not underestimate me! "


    Su Xue''er glared angrily at Ouyang Zhi. This time, she was getting serious.


    Since Ye Chen had made such a promise, how could she let the teenager down?


    In the next moment, Su Xue''er moved. Her right leg slightly bent backwards, as if she was charging up all her arrows, and she sped towards Ouyang Zhi.


    With the help of Ye Chen''s improved Su Family''s mental cultivation method and his Shadow Steps, Su Xue''er''s speed had increased to an extreme level almost instantly.


    "What!"


    Ouyang Zhi, who was still standing blankly on the spot, suddenly opened his eyes wide as if he had woken up from his sleep. In the next instant, his fists had unwittingly blocked his chest, receiving Su Xue''er''s menacing palm strike.


    "Rustle, rustle!"


    As the sound of rubbing against the ground echoed out, the incomparably arrogant Ouyang Zhi''s expression became somewhat unnatural.


    A trace of shame and anger rose from the bottom of his heart.


    The dignified young master of the Ouyang Family was actually at a disadvantage in front of a young girl who was younger than him in both age and cultivation.


    Su Xue''er had only taken one or two steps back from the palm attack, but she had taken more than ten steps back!


    "This little girl, why ¡­"


    At this moment, not to mention the elderly Ouyang, even Elder Su himself was dumbfounded!


    Since when did her granddaughter become so formidable!


    He didn''t know that Su Xue''er had made such enormous progress in this period of time.


    "Zhi-er, be more serious. Don''t lose your face."


    Old Man Ouyang couldn''t sit still any longer.


    Until now, he still could not see through Su Xue''er. But of course, what he could not see even more was the calm face of Ye Chen, who seemed to have already expected this to happen.


    The reason why this move had gained momentum could only be blamed on Ouyang Zhi''s carelessness and underestimating his opponent.


    However, as the two continued their sparring, this conclusion seemed to become a little untenable.


    Even though Ouyang Zhi had the upper hand at the start, after two to three rounds, the momentum on Ouyang Zhi''s side had clearly dropped. On the other hand, Su Xue''er, who was thought to be unable to withstand three rounds, was still alive and kicking.


    "This brat, just what is going on ¡­"


    When Ouyang Zongheng once again looked at Ye Chen, whose face was still as calm as before, his face turned even darker.


    This time, he really couldn''t understand what was going on. Ouyang Zhi, who had already used eighty to ninety percent of his strength, was actually not Su Xue''er''s match.


    This was definitely an unexpected situation at the beginning.


    Elder Su, who was at the side, was mesmerized by what he saw. According to common sense, Su Xue''er should have been completely suppressed by Ouyang Zhi. In fact, she should have already been defeated a long time ago.


    However, Old Man Su gradually opened the corner of his mouth a bit. Waves of wild joy surged up in his heart.


    In the blink of an eye, he looked at the youth beside him. His eyes were filled with endless respect and reverence!


    "Why is your Su Clan''s mental cultivation method so strange? Xue Er''s aura is obviously different from before!"


    "And this palm technique isn''t for your Su Clan right?"


    The elderly Ouyang finally saw through some clues.


    Because of the degree of familiarity with Xue''er before, as well as the martial cultivation that she had instructed Su Xue''er with, that was why she was able to see some peculiarities in that situation.


    However, what kind of mental and palm techniques were these? They were actually able to far surpass all of the Ouyang Family''s!


    A superior mental cultivation method could stimulate the user''s greatest potential, and could also have a lower consumption and better recovery abilities in actual combat.


    In comparison, it was undoubtedly Su Xue''er who had crushed Ouyang Zhi!


    "Could it be that this is the strength of a little girl at the middle First Layer of Body Tempering!?"


    In the arena, Ouyang Zhi was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.


    He had originally thought that they were just playing around. Not only was he not able to solve the problem easily, he was even on the verge of losing!


    Thinking about all these, he couldn''t help feeling a bit more angry at the bottom of his heart.


    No matter what, he couldn''t afford to lose face.


    All of a sudden, all the inner strength in his body surged as the Ouyang Family''s ultimate move, the Windy Fist, was pushed to the extreme in an instant.


    This time, he would have to be serious. If he was not able to win in a single move, then he would lose a lot of face today.


    "You better be careful!"


    Ouyang Zhi shouted loudly as he threw a punch filled with energy towards Su Xue''er.


    Because he was worried about harming the young girl, his fist didn''t aim for the vital points of his body.


    Even so, the might of such a powerful technique did not decrease in the slightest. Even if an ordinary person at the late Refinement Stage were here, they would not have even the slightest advantage!


    "Why do I feel like you should be careful!"


    With a twist of her body, she was like a nimble swallow in the air. She turned 180 degrees, and her fist that was originally tightly clenched suddenly turned horizontally, turning into a knife as she punched straight towards Ouyang Zhi''s fist!


    In that instant, a sharp and violent aura erupted. In fact, it wasn''t the slightest bit inferior to Ouyang Zhi''s in front of him!


    "This is, Mountain Splitting Palm! I didn''t expect that Xue''er had already mastered it!"


    Elder Su couldn''t help but exclaim out loud. In fact, he didn''t even feel worried about the young girl being defeated anymore.


    After all, Ye Chen had given this ultimate skill to the Su Family together with him. Even Old Man Su himself had not managed to comprehend the power and mystery contained within it.


    Compared to a normal cultivation method, it was countless times better!


    "What!?" "Why is this palm technique so powerful!?"


    Old Man Ouyang, who was sitting to the side, couldn''t sit still any longer.


    Because just now, even he could feel a bit of her powerful aura from her ¡­

 C66

    Under Su Xue''er''s palm, the two of them were in a stalemate for a short moment before Ouyang Zhi was defeated.


    He staggered back a few steps and finally fell down on his butt.


    When he once again looked at the lively Su Xue''er in front of him, the arrogance and disdain on his face had long since turned into complete astonishment!


    Just now, he could clearly feel that the strength of the young girl''s palm strike had even surpassed his own Windy Fist!


    This feeling of being suppressed by someone who was at a higher level than him had finally made him understand what Ye Chen meant when he said it was formed.


    In the battle, his own Soaring Wind Fist could not display its original power at all. Instead, it was as flashy as a display of power.


    "What''s going on with your Su Clan''s palm and heart techniques?"


    When the elderly Ouyang saw that his grandson had lost, he felt a bit embarrassed.


    Ye Zichen looked towards Elder Su, who was smiling, and couldn''t help but ask.


    "Old Man Ouyang, to be honest, all of these were done by Ye Chen alone. Our Su family does not have that kind of ability!"


    Old Man Su stroked his beard and could not help but exclaim.


    Now that things had come to this, he finally understood that the young man''s ability, vision, and knowledge were all things that he, Elder Su, could not compare to.


    How was this even a youth? He was simply like an old monster that had been famous for a long time!


    "What!?" It''s him! "


    The elderly Ouyang felt as if his mind was about to explode. When he looked at the youth in front of him again, his expression had completely changed.


    After Old Man Su''s brief explanation, he finally understood what kind of talent the young man in front of him was!


    Especially when he heard that the Su Clan''s high grade cultivation and martial skills were directly gifted to him, he felt his heart tremble!


    Such a precious item was something that even the Ouyang Family couldn''t find.


    And in the hands of the teenager named Ye Chen, all of these were just random gifts. Such a contrast was not something he could imagine!


    "Master Ye!" "I was blind and failed to recognize Mt. Tai. Please forgive me."


    The attitude of the elderly Ouyang changed by 180 degrees. When he looked at Ye Chen again, he did not dare to underestimate him anymore.


    Even their Ouyang Family could only treat such a talent with courtesy!


    "Humph!" "Grandfather, I told you! Big brother Ye Chen is very powerful, and the things he taught me are just as powerful!"


    Su Xue''er was screaming excitedly as she circled Ye Chen.


    Relying on her talent and comprehension ability, she was almost an existence of a top genius within the Su Clan. If she were to be slightly guided, her future would also be limitless.


    Of course, all of this was thanks to the youth''s improvement of the Su Clan''s mental cultivation method.


    If she didn''t have such a top-notch mental cultivation method, how could Su Xue''er have made such great progress?


    "Old Mister Ouyang is too polite. It''s only because Young Master Ouyang''s martial arts aren''t very good. If he could improve his Windy Fist a bit, he wouldn''t have lost to Xue''er."


    Ye Chen casually waved his hand, showing that he did not care at all.


    From the beginning to the end, he didn''t care about the old man''s opinion.


    He only came today because of Elder Su''s invitation. As for the others, he did not take them to heart.


    "Then can Master Ye give me a few pointers?"


    "As long as you are able to speak rightly, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."


    The elderly Ouyang''s attitude immediately changed.


    With his experience and shrewdness, he was naturally able to discern Elder Su''s attitude towards this youth.


    This kind of talent was not only needed to win over the Su Clan, but their Ouyang Clan as well.


    "The core of the Soaring Wind Fist is to control the wind, using energy to control all living things. If Young Master Ouyang reaches the Profound realm, then he can naturally unleash the power of the Soaring Wind Fist."


    After saying that, Ye Chen casually waved his hand, and on that swaying willow branch, a few green leaves appeared.


    "Go!"


    As the zhen qi in Ye Chen''s body started to surge, the Liu Ye in his fingers turned into a green shadow, grabbing towards the space in front of him.


    That violent and mighty presence instantly made Elder Su and old man Ouyang feel a kind of oppression from the bottom of their hearts!


    This was definitely a crushing defeat over strength!


    "Crack crack crack!"


    A couple of muffled sounds rang out. When the two of them once again looked at the tree trunk, they were completely dumbfounded!


    The previously reverent expression froze on his face, leaving him in a deadlock. When Old Man Ouyang saw this, the wrinkles on his face trembled.


    The willow leaves that were shot out were actually arranged neatly on the trunk of a tree and cut into three parts!


    If this were to hit an ordinary person, it would be enough to pierce through their body in an instant!


    "Extra inner strength!" It was actually ¡­ a master at the Profound Realm! "


    After a long while, the elderly Ouyang spat out these words in shock.


    If it was said that all those who were respectful to him before were the talents of a teenager, then this time, he would be completely convinced by Ye Chen''s power!


    Who would have thought that they would meet such an ordinary genius in this small Yan Jing city.


    It had to be known that Old Man Su had been through countless ups and downs, and had only reached half a step into the Profound Realm. Only with Ye Chen''s help could he have made the breakthrough that he had achieved today.


    As for the elderly Ouyang, he had also been in this realm for several decades, without a single breakthrough!


    However, Ye Chen, who was standing right in front of him, was not even twenty years old, yet he had reached the Profound Realm!


    This shocking news was enough to shock the entire Yan Jing city, and even the entire Chinese martial arts world!


    "Just some tricks. He can''t be considered a true master."


    Ye Chen acted like he did not notice their faces, he was still as calm as ever. Ye Zichen waved his hand and replied easily.


    But now, the two of them, Old Man Su and Old Man Su, no longer dared to have a shred of disrespect when they looked at the youth.


    "What is an external release of inner strength?" Big brother Ye Chen is so amazing, teach me a little bit! "


    Su Xue''er, who was standing beside Ye Chen, did not care about what Master Ye said. She ran up and grabbed Ye Chen''s clothes, pulling him away.


    The elderly Ouyang, who was watching from the side, was shocked. If Ye Chen was angered, then the Su Family would not be able to live a good life.


    However, when they saw the two of them acting in an extremely harmonious manner, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    When he looked at Elder Su again, his eyes were filled with emotion.


    "Where did you Su Family find such a great god. I have never heard of such a young master in Yan Jing city ¡­"


    After all, normal masters were all old monsters who had made a name for themselves in China, but Ye Chen''s skill could only be described as heaven-defying.

 C67

    After discussing martial arts with the elderly Ouyang, he also understood why Elder Su had brought him here this time. It was because of his old friend, he had some ability to understand the "Master Ye" that was being spoken of.


    However, with the support of the Ouyang family and the Su family, for Ye Chen right now, it could be said to be a very good thing.


    The backgrounds of these two clans weren''t as simple as they appeared to be.


    After resting at the Imperial Origin Pavilion for a few days, time flew by quickly. Liu Yingying''s birthday banquet had also arrived.


    The banquet was held at the same place that Ye Chen had been to earlier, Liu Yingying''s place. Because Ye Chen knew it well, he refused Liu Yingying''s good intentions of coming to pick him up.


    On the road outside the Imperial Origin Pavilion, Ye Chen caught a taxi, and hurried over.


    "It''s really lively here today!"


    Before he reached Liu Yingying''s house, Ye Chen had already noticed the rows and rows of luxurious cars parked neatly.


    The empty space near the courtyard had almost become a temporary parking lot.


    Ye Zichen got out of the taxi and slowly walked toward the gate.


    The banquet area in the hall was extremely spacious, and most of the people who came here today were from the upper class society of Yan Jing and the Liu Family. Naturally, Ye Chen did not have any close friends.


    He found a seat in the corner and sat down. He weighed the wine on the table and waited for the banquet to start.


    "Brother Ye, why did you come so late? I''ve been waiting for you for so long!"


    Just as Ye Chen sat down, he heard the fat man''s familiar voice.


    The fat guy was carrying the dessert in one hand, while walking towards Ye Chen. Behind him, Zhao Meng and the others also followed.


    "What is it? "Are you disappointed that you didn''t see my Ying Ying?"


    The two of them sat down, and Zhao Mengsi could not help but start teasing Ye Chen.


    She knew that her best friend, Lady Liu, had taken a fancy to this teenager named Ye Chen. However, there were quite a lot of beauties around Ye Chen.


    "I think so too. Brother Ye, who can''t always be invited, it''s rare that you''re willing to come out and attend Liu Yingying''s birthday party today."


    The fat man opened his mouth, while tasting the dessert on the table, he was surprised by Ye Chen''s rare appearance.


    In the past, Ye Chen would never have the slightest interest in such a banquet, let alone attend it.


    "Not really. I just promised her that I would come over for a bit."


    Ye Chen gave a faint smile, replying nonchalantly.


    However, his words, in the ears of others, had a different meaning. It was as if Liu Yingying had taken the initiative to invite this youth over.


    "Haha, it is your honor to be able to attend such a banquet. What are you being arrogant for?" Do you think someone like you would be qualified to come to such an occasion? "


    Suddenly, a cold sarcastic voice was heard, interrupting the conversation between Ye Chen and the group.


    Han Cheng, who was wearing a standard dress, proudly walked past Ye Chen and his friends.


    He didn''t even raise his head to look at the youth.


    No matter what power Ye Chen had, he was still nothing to them.


    "Enjoy the beverages and beverages that are served here. These things are things that you would normally not be able to eat!"


    Zheng Yu, who was dressed like a dog, was also sneering at Ye Chen.


    Even though he had given them that lesson at KTV last time, he still did not admit Ye Chen''s status in this society.


    Without a family, it was nothing.


    Wang Ziyi followed behind the two of them, glancing at Ye Chen and the fat guy with disdain.


    Looking at the dessert and the wine, the ridicule towards the two of them grew even more intense.


    "Isn''t this young master Zheng Yu of the Zheng Clan and Han City of the Han Clan?"


    "That''s right, I didn''t expect them to come personally. Who is that kid, daring to oppose the two of them?"


    "I don''t know. Looking at his poor appearance and dressing, I wonder how he managed to sneak in and eat and drink with us ¡­"


    All eyes were on Ye Chen and the fat guy, full of scorn and ridicule.


    Most of them were rich young masters and high-class people. They had a deep hatred for people like Ye Chen and the fat guy who did not belong to each other.


    For a time, the two of them became the center of attention of the crowd.


    "Zheng Yu, Han Cheng, the two of you are here today for our birthday party, not to mock our classmates!"


    Zhao Mengsi seemed to have expected this to happen, as she chastised the two guys in front of her with a cold tone.


    One must know that her best friend had asked her to follow the fat guy and Ye Chen because she was worried that Ye Chen would suffer some unfair treatment during the banquet.


    However, she alone was absolutely unable to match the mockery of the two great young masters before her.


    "Oh?" What, don''t let them say it yet? To come to a banquet dressed like this, how could he still have any classmates? We don''t have such classmates. "


    Dressed in a black ceremonial dress, Wang Ziyi spoke as if she was showing off her beauty.


    Ye Chen had already become their mortal enemy, so naturally, he would not let go of any opportunity to mock them.


    "You!"


    Fatty could not hold it in any longer and stared at the people from Han City.


    Just as he was about to attack, he was stopped by Ye Chen who was standing right next to him.


    The young man''s face remained indifferent. He seemed to be used to such mockery and remained silent.


    As for the contemptuous and disdainful gazes from the crowd, they were completely ignored.


    "There''s no need to care about these mad dogs. We''re here for the banquet today, not to beat them."


    Ye Chen''s bland words floated out, leaving Zheng Yu and the others speechless.


    Wang Ziyi''s face sank as he opened his mouth to speak. The fury in his heart erupted like a volcano.


    However, thinking back to Ye Chen''s vicious attacks, he still did not dare to rush up to kill himself.


    After all, with that young man''s power and courage, she had no doubt that Ye Chen would just slap her a few times in front of everyone, and then just walk away blandly.


    "Let''s wait and see. Let''s see how long you can continue being so arrogant!"


    Wang Ziyi gave a cold humph and left with Zheng Yu and Han Cheng. The group of people found seats on the VIP seats at the front desk and sat down. They looked like tyrants in the mountains, completely ignoring Ye Chen.


    "Since this kid dares to come, we''ll let him embarrass himself in front of everyone. Let''s see just how he will stand up in the future!"


    Zheng Yu and Han Cheng had a discussion, but their hearts were scheming against the youth.


    They would not let go of such a good opportunity this time around ¡­

 C68

    Following the arrival of the people, the place became more and more lively.


    Ye Chen did not pay much attention to the weird looks and the discussions around him, he just kept chatting with the fat guy in this inconspicuous seat.


    Everyone was waiting for the main character of today''s banquet to appear on stage.


    "Look, Liu Ying Ying is finally here!"


    Suddenly, a cry of surprise sounded out from the arena, causing the originally bustling crowd to boil over once again.


    Today''s Liu Ying Ying was definitely worthy of the words'' beautiful as a fairy ''.


    The young girl on the stage wore a light green short skirt that wrapped around her voluptuous body. The ribbon around her waist also revealed her slender waist, revealing a large portion of her slender legs. She immediately became the focus of countless fiery gazes.


    In addition to her exquisite fair face and her limpid eyes, it could be said that no matter where she went, she would instantly become everyone''s goddess!


    "Wah!" Ying Ying is so beautiful today! "


    Beside Ye Chen, Zhao Meng Si could not help but sigh as well.


    Although she was also a great beauty, she was still inferior to Liu Ying Ying.


    "The goddess has finally appeared!"


    "Ying Ying, we came to celebrate your birthday today, you''ve finally come out!"


    "I''m the He family''s ¡­"


    The audience seemed to have instantly exploded into an uproar. Because of the appearance of the young girl, waves of exclamations rang out.


    Some people even introduced themselves, afraid that Liu Ying Ying wouldn''t remember who they were.


    There was a faint smile on the young girl''s face, but her watery eyes were constantly scanning the audience, as if she was looking for something.


    Wherever she looked, there was a commotion from the crowd.


    "Ying Ying, this is a present I brought for you, please accept it!"


    All of a sudden, someone from the previous match took the lead and began to present the gift he had brought.


    "Yingying, this is a gift from me. This is the diamond hairpin that I specially brought back from South Africa last month. Please accept it!"


    A rich young master immediately stepped forward to present his gift.


    On the shiny hairpin, there was a dazzling diamond inlaid. Even some of the top grade diamond rings would not be able to find such a large diamond. One could tell at a glance that this hairpin was definitely expensive.


    "This is the bracelet of Fedoras of Eastern Europe. Each pearl represents my feelings for you ¡­"


    Another person stepped forward and presented his gift. When he took out the shiny bracelet, it attracted a burst of envious gaze.


    Each pearl was smooth and round, sparkling and translucent.


    Looking at the quality and quality of the beads, even if they were taken down one by one and taken out, they would definitely become a popular item in the auction house, let alone a bracelet.


    "Yingying, this is Baolandi''s jadestone, it''s most suitable for you to wear ¡­"


    "..."


    In the audience, the sounds of people offering gifts followed one after another. It could be said that they were getting louder and louder.


    Not long later, the table in front of the young lady was already filled with all sorts of jewelry and flowers.


    Some people even took out their bank cards and handed over their gifts.


    It could be said that the value of the gifts on this table were no less than several million.


    Seeing these people''s flattery and flattery, Liu Ying Ying never took a gift.


    He just stood there indifferently, smiling at the people in front of him politely without any expression.


    But even so, the group of people in front of him were still extremely happy.


    To be able to see the smile on her goddess'' face, it was as if all of this had become valuable.


    Seeing that the momentum below the stage had finally slowed down slightly, the young girl''s heart was somewhat impatient.


    With these people blocking her path, she continued to search the area below the stage.


    "Alright, thank you for your kind intentions."


    The young lady could not help but voice out. This official reply hoped that these people would stop continuing.


    "Next, let''s begin with today''s ¡­"


    "Ying Ying, wait a moment, I still have a present for you!"


    Just as Liu Ying Ying was about to finish her sentence, the sudden voice interrupted her.


    He saw Zheng Yu slowly walk forward while hugging a handful of bright and glistening roses, and on his other hand, he was even carrying a large gift box.


    Coupled with his impersonating appearance, it had to be said that Zheng Yu did look somewhat handsome at the moment.


    This appearance caused a wave of cheers and jeers to erupt from the audience.


    "Isn''t this the young master of the Zheng family? He''s planning to confess to his goddess!"


    "Young Master Zheng and the goddess are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"


    "That''s right, that''s right. The two of them look really compatible ¡­"


    Under the meticulous planning of the Han City, a group of people below the stage led by them nearly caused the entire stadium to boil.


    In an instant, Zheng Yu and Liu Yingying became the focus of the entire audience.


    "Together, together!" "Together..."


    Waves of commotion accompanied the clusters of roses on the side of the stage as they were sent up. Zheng Yu naturally had to prepare for a long time for all of this.


    He also had the Han Clan take care of everything in preparation for this grand occasion.


    "Zheng Yu, you!"


    Seeing the cluster of roses surrounding her, the expression of the young lady in the arena changed. Traces of anger gradually surged within her heart as she coldly stared at Zheng Yu in front of her.


    The party that was supposed to be a good birthday had turned into a marriage proposal.


    "Ying Ying, this is a thought from me. Hopefully, we will be able to continue on forever in the future ¡­"


    Zheng Yu seemed to have completely disregarded Liu Ying Ying''s retort. At this moment, his face was even thicker than the ground.


    As long as he borrowed the momentum of these people to cause everyone to misunderstand the relationship between him and Liu Yingying, his plan today would be half successful.


    At the very least, he could let everyone know that the goddess in front of them was the young master of the Zheng Family. As for others, none of them were worthy!


    "Ying Ying, this is the birthday present I prepared for you. Take a look!"


    As the box was opened, a circle of dazzling silver and diamond light flashed and blinded some of the people nearby.


    Look at the logo on the box and one of the limited edition tiffins.


    Once this gift was brought out, everyone below the stage started screaming.


    This was the world''s top brand customized diamond crown. The meaning and value of it was not something an ordinary person could imagine!


    However, just when Zheng Yu thought that everything was over, a soft shout suddenly rang out, causing the entire audience to turn deathly silent!


    "Zheng Yu, I really didn''t expect that after just a few days, your skin has become so thick. Can''t you see that Ying Ying doesn''t want your present at all!"

 C69

    The cry that was suddenly emitted caused numerous gazes to be directed towards a certain spot in the arena.


    He was the first person who had the guts to insult the young master of the Zheng Family in a place like this.


    Especially when some people noticed that person, who was the one who had started the fight with Zheng Shao and Han Cheng, Ye Chen, the change in his expression became even more subtle.


    "Ye Chen, you''re finally here!"


    On the arena, Liu Yingying seemed to have seen her last hope. Ye Chen''s appearance was undoubtedly the best way to deal with Zheng Yu and the others.


    As the host of today''s event, and even more so as a public figure, it would be inappropriate for her to directly fall out with the Zheng Family.


    After all, the Zheng Family''s position in Yan Jing was not small.


    But if Ye Chen dared to come out, then things would be different.


    Even now, there was no way for her to know the background of this mysterious teenager. But one thing was certain, as long as Ye Chen showed up, there was nothing she could do about it!


    Liu Yingying''s face was filled with smiles. In the next moment, she directly crossed over the rose formation in front of her and jogged in the direction of the youth.


    However, the high heels became the young girl''s greatest problem.


    "Be careful!"


    Ye Chen warned as his body moved forward subconsciously. He could only feel a familiar scent in front of him, and then that cute little girl was leaning against his chest.


    Through those thin clothes, Ye Chen could almost feel that warm and rapid heartbeat coming from the man''s body.


    "This!" "This kid!"


    Another commotion broke out in the field.


    Their Miss Liu, the Ice Snow Goddess, what kind of person was she?


    For such a long time, he had never heard of anyone showing any signs of obtaining victory even when they were being relentlessly pursued by various rich and powerful families. Yet now, he was actually throwing himself into the arms of an unknown poor boy?


    This time, almost everyone''s view of the world was turned upside down!


    "Holy sh * t!" It''s this damn brat again, just who is he! "


    "You dare to hug our Ying Ying goddess? Do you f * cking want to die?"


    "This kind of person doesn''t have the qualifications to be together with a goddess. He dares to stay here like a toad and eat the flesh of a swan? Scram!"


    The burst of curses directly drowned Ye Chen and Xia Xinyan out.


    However, Ye Chen''s expression was still as calm as before. He gently supported the girl beside him and asked Liu Yingying in a low voice if anything had happened to his feet.


    "I''m fine, thank you this time."


    The young girl stood firmly once again. She looked at the youth''s face and returned his gaze with a smile.


    He truly had the charm of a smile that could topple cities, and then a smile that could topple nations.


    However, the only person who could enjoy this kind of smile was probably the young man in front of him!


    When had it ever been possible for Liu Ying Ying to reveal this kind of smile to the others?


    "Ye Chen!" "You''re courting death!"


    At this moment, Zheng Yu''s expression was as ugly as if he had just eaten a dead mouse. The colors of his face constantly changed.


    The fist in his hand was clenched until it emitted a cracking sound. Green veins began to bulge on his arm as he cursed viciously in his heart. From the start until now, he did not rest even a little.


    If Ye Chen was not here, then his plan today would have been perfect.


    But since this kid dared to step forward, how could he let him off so easily this time!


    "Ye Chen!" You are just a poor kid from a village with no background. What right do you have to stand here and judge me? I, Zheng Yu, am not someone that a person like you can talk about! "


    Zheng Yu cursed fiercely.


    How could he still leave a shred of face for the young man in front of him?


    "Exactly, a person like you is not fit to be here in our high school! With your level, you are not even on the same level as us. You are just a lowly person! "


    Wang Ziyi''s cold and sharp voice had an extremely penetrating power.


    All of a sudden, the taunts and discussions on the stage all turned towards Ye Chen who was standing in front of them.


    The young man now, without a doubt, became everyone''s focal point. He was also the person who was first to be expelled.


    "You guys are really shameless!"


    Zhao Mengsi could not help but mock him.


    However, her voice alone couldn''t surpass the voice of the people from Han City, who were already prepared.


    Today, their goal was to completely destroy Ye Chen here, making him lose all face, and make him unable to lift his head up in front of everyone ever again!


    "By the way, when I came over this morning, I saw that this kid came in a taxi. He really is a pauper!"


    Suddenly, someone mocked Ye Chen again.


    Today, other than a few of Liu Ying Ying''s class, which one of them wasn''t a well-known person in Beijing, it was almost impossible to say that they didn''t have a car.


    As for Ye Chen, he had taken a taxi to get here. The gap between him and everyone else was only a tiny bit.


    "Everyone who came here today brought a gift for Liu Ying Ying, and Young Master Zheng even brought Tiffany''s diamond crown. What about you? "You poor brat, what can you possibly give to others?"


    Wang Ziyi seemed to have seized this opportunity and continued to mock him.


    So what if Ye Chen had those mysterious powers behind him? This still couldn''t change the difference between the different classes.


    "Ye Chen, if you don''t even have a present, then you really aren''t qualified to stand here anymore. But, how could someone like you possibly have a gift? Otherwise, how could you have been dumped like this?"


    On the surface, Han City was sneering.


    Seeing Ye Chen in such a state was undoubtedly what he wanted to see the most.


    Moreover, his words brought forth a wave of laughter and contempt from the surroundings.


    Today was indeed Liu Yingying''s birthday party. If she couldn''t even take out a present, how could she still have any face?


    "You! "Ye Chen, he ¡­"


    This time, Liu Yingying could not hold it in anymore. She knew Ye Chen''s situation. How could he, who previously accepted the school''s allowance for poverty, have the money to present such a high-end occasion gift?


    But before the girl could finish her anxious shout, the youth in front of her spoke up.


    "Oh? A gift, no matter who it is, I don''t have it! "


    Ye Chen looked extremely calm, but this simple sentence had completely changed both Zhao Meng Si and Little Fatty''s faces!


    He actually dared to slap a fat man with this in a situation like this. Wasn''t this courting death?


    Although Ye Chen had the ability and talent, but in terms of wealth ¡­


    "Brother Ye, what are you doing, we ¡­"


    The fatty could not help but exclaim out loud, his expression extremely anxious.


    If he didn''t f * cking take out something decent, his big brother would definitely die here today.


    "We''re doomed now ¡­"


    Zhao Mengsi helplessly spread out her hands and her face immediately turned bitter.


    Just a moment ago, he had been thinking about how to save the situation, but now, it seemed that there was nothing he could do to save the situation ¡­

 C70

    "Hahaha, you really can have a gift. If you want to keep your face afloat, then you should just continue. Can you possibly come out with something from a dozen of people who came by taxi?"


    Zheng Yu could be said to be laughing loudly. The contempt and disdain on his face could be said to be completely obvious.


    He had never treated Ye Chen seriously before, not to mention that he would not give the teenager any face at this time.


    "Ai, this brat is quite capable. He''s so shameless to this extent?"


    "I say, what kind of crap can you bring out for a taxi?"


    "Maybe this kid wants to show us some of his wealth?" "However, that''s still trash ¡­"


    In the audience, waves of ridicule and laughter completely overshadowed Ye Chen.


    It could be said that in this match, not to mention the others, even Liu Ying Ying, Zhao Meng, and Fatty were at a loss for words.


    They really could not imagine what else Ye Chen could take out. He even dared to take out Tiffany''s crown while Zheng Yu was already at it.


    "Ying Ying, I made this gift myself. Although it may not be perfect, I hope that you can wear it. In times of danger, this bracelet might be able to protect your life."


    Ye Chen was extremely calm. In front of those scornful eyes, he took out the bracelet that he had made himself.


    Amongst them, there was a red pearl that was not too conspicuous. Although it was small in size, its unique red color, when mixed with the golden resplendent light, made it a sight that others could not ignore.


    The opening of the bracelet was less than ten centimeters, which Ye Chen had specially made according to the girl''s slim wrist.


    Compared to Tiffany''s crown, Sophia''s diamond ornament, and Kendall''s world-famous jewelry, the brilliance of Ye Chen''s bracelet was nothing.


    However, almost at the same moment, some people with eyes could not help but scream out!


    "This is ¡­" Top grade jade, amethyst jade, one jade, value, ten million! This brat is actually using it to make a bracelet! "


    "Holy sh * t!" This daddy isn''t seeing wrong right, this is the Amethyst Jade! "


    That faint purple light and the unique texture within it were almost a unique feature of the Amethyst Jade. It was impossible for other jades to have such a color and luster.


    The combined value of these dozens of amethyst jade beads was simply inconceivable!


    "What!?" Amethyst Jade! "


    The arrogant smile on Zheng Yu''s face practically froze in an instant!


    However, the shouts that followed one after another reminded him that all of this was reality! As for the Amethyst Jade, this sort of top grade jade with its own unique characteristics, how could everyone recognize it so wrongly!


    The arrogance and contempt from before instantly vanished like smoke into thin air. Replacing it was a malevolence and gloominess that had never been present before!


    In fact, the ugly expression on his face started to become distorted!


    "Amethyst Jade! "How is this possible, he, Ye Chen, how could he even take out the purple crystal jade!"


    Zheng Yu howled in madness, no longer caring about his image.


    With just these dozens of amethyst jade pearls, what Ye Chen had taken out today was almost like a table full of gifts!


    Even in the eyes of these rich and powerful families, ten million levels was no small amount.


    And yet, this young man actually took it out as a gift of courtesy!


    "How is this possible!"


    Han Cheng and Wang Ziyi were also dumbfounded. The arrogance and contempt on their faces vanished in the blink of an eye.


    When they looked at the youth in the field once again, their expressions froze and became extremely ugly.


    Wang Ziyi''s face paled!


    In their hearts, they knew exactly what an Amethyst Jade was.


    "No, the jade in the middle is the legendary Dragon Jade!"


    Suddenly, another shout sounded out, causing everyone to be stunned!


    Dragon Jade was an existence that was worth hundreds of millions, and was even priceless within the jade world. But this poor brat in front of him was actually using it to forge a bracelet!


    Everyone knew exactly how crazy this action was and what it meant.


    "What!"


    Zheng Yu only felt a buzzing sound in his head. When he looked at the bracelet that the youth casually gave him once again, his scalp went numb. However, he was no longer able to say a single word!


    Dragon Jade, they had already given him this kind of thing, how could Ye Chen''s bracelet be worth compared to them?


    Without a doubt, these two top-grade jade stones had slapped the faces of those who had mocked Ye Chen before.


    This slap caused the few people from Han City to no longer dare to speak anymore.


    If he still dared to mock at a time like this, he would be slapping himself in the face.


    "F * ck, Brother Ye, when did you f * cking become a tycoon!"


    The fatty was stunned on the spot, unable to react. He had previously been worried about his big brother, but now it seemed that all of this was just superfluous.


    Could it be that the fellow who gave away the amethyst jade and Dragon Jade was in need of money?


    "You big brother ¡­"


    Zhao Mengsi''s mouth formed an ''O'' shape.


    This time, she was completely shocked by Ye Chen''s heroic spirit.


    This was no different from a country bumpkin who had caught a taxi. He was simply an invisible rich man on the wealthy side!


    As the person involved, Liu Yingying looked at the bracelet that Ye Chen had given her. Her eyes were filled with tears.


    Ever since she was young, besides her friend Zhao Mengsi, she had never received any form of care or care.


    As a result of the breakdown of her family and her father''s busy work, she had lost all of her love.


    This was what made her a cold beauty, but under this kind of personality, there was only weakness, tears, and indescribable pain!


    But today, Ye Chen had touched the softest place in the girl''s heart.


    "Ye Chen, thank you!"


    Liu Ying Ying smiled. The tears at the corner of her eyes flickered, and crystal clear tears unconsciously rolled down her cheeks.


    Gently standing on her tiptoes, her cheeks had turned red, as she moved closer to Ye Chen.


    The youth only felt a gentle touch and a fragrant wind on his face, causing him to be slightly dazed.


    This kiss that was akin to a dragonfly touching the water caused the originally boiling arena to instantly turn silent!


    The goddess that all of them wished for was actually giving a kiss to this fellow that everyone thought was a poor boy!


    What followed was even more intense exclamations of surprise!


    Ye Chen had undoubtedly become the target of admiration and envy for countless people.


    Today, with Ye Chen''s name, he would definitely become famous in the best society in Yan Jing.

 C71

    After the birthday party, Ye Chen did not stay for long.


    However, because of that kiss from Liu Ying Ying, the young man''s name had spread throughout these young masters of upper class society. Naturally, it would not be a good name.


    This time, he was definitely the love rival and target of everyone in Yan Jing.


    As the saying goes, a beauty''s disaster had a certain amount of truth to it.


    After Ye Chen left, in a parking lot of Liu Yingying''s mansion, Zheng Yu was discussing something with a gloomy face.


    "Young Master Zheng, are you sure you want to do this?"


    A bodyguard dressed in black asked in a low voice, his tone laced with doubt and uncertainty.


    "That''s right, if this continues, this matter will not be small!"


    The other bodyguard in black also couldn''t help but remind him.


    It seemed that their actions this time, even they were starting to feel some fear.


    "This matter is getting out of hand? Am I supposed to swallow this resentment? "I''m not Duanmu Lei. I, Zheng Yu, must return this insult!"


    Zheng Yu coldly scolded as his expression turned to an extremely terrifying level.


    This time, no matter what, he wouldn''t let that youth go.


    As long as Ye Chen still had one more day, he would be a thorn in his side!


    On the main street of Yan Jing city, cars flew and the sound of sirens came one after another.


    The dim light of the street lamps by the side illuminated the road. Amidst the hustle and bustle, it revealed a little peace and quiet.


    Ye Chen was walking alone on the small path on the side. He was looking around and feeling the change in the Sky and Earth.


    For the past few days, the youth had been searching for places with abundant Spiritual Qi. Cultivating in those places would allow his cultivation speed to increase by a level. It was even more possible that he would discover something.


    "Sigh, it seems that the Spiritual Energy on this earth is quite sparse. If I want to continue to improve my cultivation speed, other than finding true elixirs, I can only create my own Spirit Convergence Array."


    Ye Chen could not help but sigh.


    During this time, he had been to almost every place in Yan Jing, but he hadn''t found any place with abundant spiritual qi.


    As for his own realm, it had been completely stabilized at the late stage of the Second Sky of Qi Disciple stage and his cultivation of the Supreme Yi Primal Chaos Formula had stopped at the first level. If he wanted to advance, he would have to depend on his luck during this period of time.


    "Crash!"


    Suddenly, the hum of a car could be heard.


    A Land Rover Buick with black headlights on was charging towards him. It had no intention of dodging.


    "Humph!" "You''re courting death!"


    Ye Chen gave a cold snort, his body flipped in the air, directly dodging the attack that was definitely going to take his life.


    With a speed of eighty yards, if he were to really bump into it, then he would truly be in eternal slumber.


    Cha cha-cha!


    With a screech of brakes, a beautiful tail flick, and the black Land Rover was like a cumbersome camel that had finally managed to stop moving forward and slowly came to a stop.


    And then, from several other directions, three black cars stopped right in front of Ye Chen and surrounded him.


    From the looks of it, he had no intention of letting the young man go today.


    "Brat, I did not expect that your reaction would be so fast. However, you will not be able to survive just because of your quick reaction!"


    The familiar cold snort came again.


    Ye Chen could almost guess the identity of the person in front of him without even looking up. It was the tiger brother from the Dragon Tiger Hall, the so-called tiger brother who had hooked up with Zheng Yu back at the KTV.


    Right now, he had a sullen look on his face. He was looking at Ye Chen who was standing right in front of him, as if he was looking at his own prey.


    "This is the kid you said you could hit. In my opinion, he''s nothing more than that!"


    Beside Brother Hu was a similarly half-naked man in black with a black dragon tattoo on his body. He looked coldly at the young man in front of him. His words were filled with contempt and disdain.


    It was as if these small characters were simply insignificant existences to him.


    "Brother Long, don''t underestimate this kid. He was the one who beat up even Wang Haotian''s Ah Biao. He is no small fry."


    Brother Hu reminded him in a low voice.


    Even though he was in high spirits and was showing off his strength, he was still a bit fearful of the youth''s previous performance.


    If they were to really fight, then it would be a battle that couldn''t be ignored.


    "Speak, who sent you here this time?"


    Ye Chen glanced at Hu-ge blandly, and started sneering.


    He had long since lost the last bit of his interest and patience for this small fry. Besides, this Brother Hu still didn''t know his wrongs. He knew he was here to throw away his life, but he still came.


    "Haha? Died? Aren''t you going to take a look at how many people we''ve brought this time? "


    "With just you alone, you can''t say who came to throw their lives away!"


    The tiger brother continued to berate Ye Chen who was standing in front of him.


    The men in black from the other cars were all dressed in a uniform manner, and the shiny machete in the hands of the man in black looked even more impressive.


    Obviously, they knew how powerful Ye Chen was. This time, how could they dare to be careless?


    If he was as arrogant as before, he would truly be courting death.


    "You want me to die? Just based on you small fry? So what if there''s a hundred or a thousand more of you? I still can''t change the fact that you''re all trash! "


    Ye Chen was too lazy to waste time on these guys in front of him.


    If it was anyone else who knew a little about martial arts, they would not be able to escape from this battle formation.


    Even if it was at the beginning, it would still be a little tricky for Ye Chen to deal with them.


    But now, the youth was no longer the youth he once was.


    "Hahaha, good boy, you do have some guts. No wonder a person like Old Su would view you as a VIP."


    Brother Dragon with a black dragon tattoo on his arm finally spoke.


    His voice was bold and domineering. Compared to Brother Hu, he was on a completely different level.


    With his middle Second Sky of Body Tempering cultivation and his imposing manner, he was in no way inferior to Ah Biao. However, in the eyes of this young man, he was just trash!


    "Since you guys know the relationship between Elder Su and me and still dare to come and attack me, who gave you guys the courage?"


    All of a sudden, Ye Chen felt a bit of playfulness in his heart.


    He indifferently looked at the people in front of him and asked disdainfully.


    To be able to come knocking on his door after finding out about his background, he had to be either a madman who didn''t care for his life, or a fool who only cared for his own hardships!

 C72

    "So what if you have that relationship with Elder Su? We won''t give you any chance to call reinforcements today!"


    Brother Hu laughed sinisterly and directly answered the youth''s questions in place of Brother Long in front of him.


    The group of men in black around him had started to gather around Ye Chen step by step. From the looks of it, they would definitely not let Ye Chen go today.


    "Oh? "Then what are you planning to do?"


    Ye Chen''s tone had also become a little bit deeper, but he still remained as relaxed as before.


    If these people wanted to touch him, it could only be said that they wanted to touch the earth above their heads. This was undoubtedly courting death.


    "What is it? What else do you think! "


    Brother Tiger laughed arrogantly, while Brother Long also laughed sinisterly.


    Looking at the teenager in front of him, his eyes were full of fierceness and cruelty. Today might be the last time Ye Chen would ever see him.


    "It looks like your superiors have made up their minds this time?" However, with just you people, aren''t you a little too arrogant if you want to deal with me? "


    Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, he really did not want to say anything more.


    He shouldn''t show the slightest mercy to these scum in front of him.


    Even if they were maimed, it would be for the sake of the people!


    "Hehe, kid, I want to see who exactly is arrogant!"


    Brother Long gave a loud roar and waved his hand. The group of men who had been preparing for a long time immediately rushed towards Ye Chen. This time, there was no hesitation at all.


    "He''s just a small fry!"


    Ye Chen sneered, glancing at the man in black who was walking all over the place. He did not even frown, let alone being scared.


    "Bang bang!"


    A series of muffled groans sounded out, and the group of people that charged forward immediately fell to the ground, turning into wails.


    The sound of blades hitting the ground became even louder.


    Ye Chen''s body flashed in the crowd like a ghost. Every time his fist and palm landed on the ground, a guy who didn''t want to die would scream.


    Anyone who dared to go up against Ye Chen right now would be courting death!


    "This kid!"


    Brother Long''s expression had already completely darkened.


    Looking at the young man''s movements, which were as smooth as flowing water, he didn''t even wait for a pause or a moment to catch his breath. How could those insignificant characters be able to compare to an expert of this level?


    "Good boy, you, have the qualifications to be my opponent."


    Brother Long glanced at Ye Chen arrogantly. As the leader of the Dragon Tiger Hall, he was also a well-known figure in the Yan Jing city. Naturally, he would not back down just because of such a small situation.


    Although the youth was powerful in his eyes, he was not an existence that could not be compared to him.


    "Opponents? But you don''t have the qualifications to be my opponent! "


    Ye Chen gave a faint smile, patting his hands while looking at Brother Long with a serious look.


    His voice was filled with an incomparable confidence and calmness, as though he was telling the truth.


    "Haha? Not qualified? Don''t you know who the person standing in front of you is! Even the Ah Biao that you faced before was no match for my Brother Long! "


    On the side, Brother Hu began to mock them.


    Brother Long''s fame was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.


    This man was once a member of the special forces of China, and was even the leader of that legendary team.


    The enemy bandits under his command were unknown, and they were like war wolves that had risen to prominence in the army.


    To be honest, her combat experience and the bloodlust she had on her body were both figures that A-Biao could not compare with.


    The terror of this kind of person lay in his ability to completely crush the opponent!


    If they were to fight, the fighting strength displayed would be beyond the imagination of ordinary people.


    "Hehehehe!"


    Brother Long grasped the fist in his hand and stretched out his muscles, making a series of creaking sounds as his neck twisted.


    Compared to Ye Chen, who was standing in front of him, the huge fist and muscular body were not even on the same level.


    "I''ve lived for so many years, you''re the first person who dares to provoke me like this!"


    Brother Long stared at Ye Chen who was standing in front of him, as if he was staring at his own prey.


    Within those sharp eyes, there was a trace of fierceness and bloodlust.


    "Unfortunately, you are not the first to seek death."


    Ye Chen gave a faint smile, completely not putting Brother Long in his eyes.


    This sort of person might be extremely troublesome and difficult to deal with in the hands of others, but in his own hands, that was completely different.


    "You''re courting death!"


    Brother Long gave a loud roar and rushed towards Ye Chen.


    That fierce momentum was just like a rhinoceros colliding wildly with itself. It belonged to a powerhouse at the middle Second Sky of Body Tempering stage. There was no doubt about it.


    When he was close to the teenager, he suddenly twisted his body. With the help of the spinning and diving power, that roaring punch was thrown towards Ye Chen.


    This kind of move was the most direct, swift, and also a very common boxing style.


    Brother Hu, who was watching from the side, could even imagine Ye Chen''s miserable ending as he laughed out loud.


    Under this punch, there were no ghosts!


    His punches were too slow, they weren''t even close to their limit.


    If his momentum was too slow, he wouldn''t be able to gather enough energy.


    He didn''t have enough explosive power, nor did he have a good grasp of the situation!


    This was Ye Chen''s evaluation of this punch.


    The True Qi within his body surged as the Tai Yi Primal Chaos Formula started circulating unknowingly. A simple palm met the fist in front of him without any gaudiness.


    "Bam!"


    The fist and the palm collided. In an instant, a black figure was sent flying.


    However, this person was not the skinny Ye Chen, but that Brother Long!


    "This!" "How is this possible!?"


    The evil grin on Hu-ge''s face almost instantly froze.


    Under such a simple move, even Brother Long from the Dragon Tiger Hall was defeated!


    Moreover, Ye Chen''s power had definitely changed a lot compared to when he was fighting against Ah Biao.


    Even back then, the victory of this young man was not as easy as it was today!


    "This kid, not only will he become a huge threat in the future, but he will also become a huge threat in the future!"


    Brother Hu sneered from the bottom of his heart. Traces of anger and viciousness gradually appeared in his mind. When he looked at Ye Chen again, there was even a hint of playfulness on his face.


    Raising his right hand, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at the young man in front of him.


    "So what if you can fight!?" Kneel down, or die! "


    This time, it was filled with pride and arrogance.


    This was his last resort and his only trump card.


    Even if the youth had the ability to transcend the heavens, how would he be able to dodge a bullet from the muzzle?

 C73

    The savage smile and arrogance on Hu-ge''s face was indescribable.


    In order to get rid of Ye Chen this time, they had a perfect plan. First, they would run into a car, then they would fight with someone.


    Upon seeing Brother Hu''s actions, the lackeys who had fallen to the ground and wailed in pain, all became arrogant.


    With a spear, how could he avoid a distance of less than ten meters?


    Let alone this young man in front of him, even some famous martial artists, or even Profound realm masters, would not be able to resist at such a close distance.


    "How is it? "Ye Chen, this time, what other tricks are you trying to play?"


    Brother Hu arrogantly indicated the pistol in his hand as he stared at the teenager in front of him.


    In his eyes, the current Ye Chen was undoubtedly a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.


    "Hehe, let''s see how he can still fight!"


    "That''s right, let''s see how crazy this kid is!"


    "After expending so much effort, he really is a tough nut to crack!"


    The group of lackeys also started to show their might.


    He would force them to turn around and step on the youth''s head, but he would definitely not let him off.


    The tiger brother walked closer to Ye Chen step by step, but the smile on his face twisted a little bit.


    "So what if it''s a spear?"


    Ye Chen glanced at Hu-ge in front of him. He was not afraid at all.


    However, his words were just a stubborn attempt on the verge of death.


    "Hehe, how is it? "Why aren''t you giving it to me ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    Before Hu-ge''s incomparably arrogant warning sound could fall, it was immediately interrupted by a resounding slap.


    Ye Chen stood there blandly, his raised palm still in the air.


    The force that was gathered just now fiercely smashed onto Brother Hu''s face without restraint.


    At this moment, a blood-red handprint was slowly emerging. The bright color seemed as if it was about to drip blood.


    "External Qi!" It''s actually a master of the Profound Realm! "


    Brother Long on the side couldn''t keep his cool anymore.


    Who wouldn''t be an old monster that had been famous for a long time? Who would have thought that they would meet such a young master in such a place!


    "You! "You still dare to hit me ¡­"


    "Clap clap!"


    Ye Chen turned his hand and threw out another two slaps. He did not even blink his eyes, not to mention shooting.


    There was no need to worry at all when dealing with such rubbish.


    "You''re courting death!"


    With that, Brother Hu was finally forced into a corner. He pressed down the trigger as he panicked.


    But in the next moment, not only him, everyone present regretted it!


    "Hua!"


    Ye Chen casually threw out his clenched fist. The sound of a bullet hitting the ground was so clear that it could be heard.


    The words echoed in the hearts of the crowd for a long time, causing everyone to look at the youth in the field in a daze.


    If one were to say what kind of figure the master of the Profound realm Brother Long spoke of before, then now, he had truly witnessed the terror of this youth''s strength.


    "Monster!"


    It was unknown who let out a scream, but what followed was waves of gasps and utter despair!


    To receive a bullet empty-handed, this was something that only the rumored top master could do.


    But today, he saw with his own eyes that this youth who wasn''t even twenty yet had reached such a level of strength!


    "You! "You!"


    Hu-ge''s face was as pale as snow, and his legs began to tremble. A wave of fear rose up from the bottom of his heart, a wave of fear that came from the depths of his soul, a fear that came from death!


    With a plop, he staggered and fell onto the ground. His previous arrogant laughter was now completely frozen on his face.


    His mouth opened bit by bit, but he couldn''t utter a single word.


    "What is it? Aren''t you very powerful? Why isn''t he moving anymore? "


    Ye Chen lazily glanced at Hu-ge, whose face had already turned ashen and had fallen into despair. He looked a bit amused and a little funny.


    With just this bit of ability, he dared to come and make a ruckus in front of him. He could only say that these people were courting death!


    "Speak, who sent you here?"


    The young man was awe-inspiring, and his tone was as calm as before. However, when these words entered everyone''s ears, no one dared to ignore them.


    With Ye Chen''s power, he could control the lives of everyone here!


    "Yes ¡­" "It''s young master Zheng Yu of the Zheng Family. He has provided us with your whereabouts, as well as sent many bodyguards. Everything that has happened today is all at his instigation ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    Ye Chen raised his hand, and slapped on Brother Hu''s face again.


    Towards this kind of scum who could not be changed, Ye Chen would never be the least bit polite.


    "You only need to answer my question. As for the rest of the rubbish, just say one more word and I''ll slap you!"


    Ye Chen stared at Hu-ge coldly.


    He had warned this fellow before, but who knew that he would run into this fellow who didn''t care for his life.


    "Yes, yes ¡­"


    How could Brother Hu dare to show any signs of disobedience? The earlier prestige he had had was long gone. In front of this young man, besides obeying, he didn''t dare to have any other choices.


    "What did Zheng Yu tell you?"


    Ye Chen threw out his second question.


    When he thought back to Zheng Yu, who had been taught a terrible lesson at the banquet, it wasn''t difficult to imagine that this fellow wanted to borrow the strength of others to take revenge.


    What he didn''t expect was that he would coincidentally find a piece of trash like the Dragon Tiger Hall.


    "He said to cripple you and then throw you into the suburbs to feed the wolves ¡­"


    Hu-ge was a bit timid, but he mustered his strength and spat out a few words.


    Hearing this, Ye Chen''s face turned serious. He had never been a timid person. Since the Zheng Family was able to do something like this, then don''t blame him for being heartless.


    "Speak, what can you all bring out in exchange for your lives? Otherwise, why would you all stay here today!"


    Ye Chen took another look at that Brother Long. It was impossible for him to let go of these people this time.


    "Master Ye, we have something here that you might be interested in ¡­"


    Brother Long was also a bit scared to death as he opened the trunk of the car and took out a long, beautifully packaged box.


    Almost at the same time he took out the box, Ye Chen''s face couldn''t help but twitch.


    He could actually feel a faint Spiritual Energy fluctuation within it.


    "This is actually ¡­" A hundred years old ginseng? "


    Ye Chen could not help but feel quite happy.


    At this moment, if he had the help of these elixirs, it would undoubtedly be the best opportunity for him to break through ¡­

 C74

    After Ye Chen had solved the problem at the Longhu Hall, he had also gained a lot.


    He got the 100-year-old ginseng and the other rare herbs from Zheng Yu at the auction. He could only say that the Zheng Family gave him a favor this time and gave him these benefits in the end.


    With all these help, it helped Ye Chen even more to stabilize his cultivation at the Late Mortal Realm Stage 2. However, his training in these few days had already improved a lot.


    Plus, Ye Chen had gotten some medical materials from the Ancient Spirit Pavilion last time to make some simple Spirit Gathering Liquid, which was naturally a piece of cake for him.


    Early in the morning, when the youth recovered from his cultivation state, he did not pack his things and head to school as usual. Instead, he headed towards the jade pavilion that he had agreed to meet with Duanmu Lei earlier.


    After making a ruckus in the Duanmu family''s territory and successfully producing the dragon jade, Ye Chen did not have much resistance towards this treasure hunt. If he was lucky, he would be able to absorb some spirit power from the jade and it would be beneficial for his cultivation.


    He might even be able to get what he wanted.


    "I hope our luck is not bad this time. I just wonder what that Duanmu Lei will do this time."


    Thinking back to that so-called jade master from last time, Elder Chen, Ye Chen finally understood.


    Even if their Duanmu Family had some ability, so what if they could invite some capable people?


    Relying on his knowledge of Spiritual Qi and his familiarity with the jades, these so-called Masters were nothing but dregs in front of this young man.


    They took a taxi to the Jade Pavilion that was located at the intersection between Yan Jing and South Sky City. It had already taken them close to an hour.


    Just as he got off the car, he could see the majestic and modern looking skyscraper in front of him.


    In the generation of Yan Jing and Tiannan City, jade business had always been popular. In addition to all these years of development and accumulation, they had already accumulated quite a bit.


    This Jade Pavilion was one of the centers of this jade industry.


    Not only did it gather the jade tycoons of Yan Jing city and the neighboring South Sky City, it was also a small jade center in the nearby region of Jiang-Nan province.


    "Please show your invitation card."


    Ye Chen had just walked to the door when he was stopped by that ice-cold voice.


    The two guards stared at Ye Chen, who was dressed simply. The total number of clothes on his body was not more than two hundred.


    It could be said that those who had come to the Jade Artifact Convention today were all rich and powerful people. As for Ye Chen, he was still a rare sight.


    "Invitation card?"


    Ye Chen was surprised, he had never received any invitation.


    "If you don''t have any, then scram. Not just anyone can enter this place."


    "That''s right. You hoodlums must have come to the wrong place?"


    The two guards dressed in black were singing together. They were very arrogant and did not give Ye Chen any chance to explain himself.


    From the looks of it, he was not a good person who did his duty. It was probably because he was used to being soft, that he had such an arrogant attitude today.


    "Ye Chen, you are here too?"


    Before Ye Chen could turn his head, that girl''s soft voice came out.


    Chu Yuling was running towards Ye Chen from a black Cadillac. Her blue skirt was fluttering in the air. Her face was full of smiles, as if she was happier to see Ye Chen than anyone else.


    "Uncle, this is the person I mentioned to you before, Ye Chen."


    The girl leaned towards Ye Chen while greeting the middle-aged man in black sunglasses behind her.


    This person was Chu Yuling''s uncle, Chu Chengfeng. He was also the elder brother of Chu Family Head Chu Hejun.


    Because he was in the business world all year round, he still had quite a bit of prestige in the Jiangnan generation. However, he did not care much about the matters of the Chu family in Yan Jing city.


    This was only the first time that Ye Chen had returned to Beijing, so he naturally did not know about the treatment Ye Chen had given to the girl earlier.


    With regards to the famous Master Ye Chen in the Chu Clan, it could only be said that he had some doubts. After all, if one did not personally see him, no one would believe that such a small youth had the ability to make even Master Li of the Beijing People''s Hospital bow his head.


    Moreover, he even solved Chu Yuling''s illness with such a miraculous method.


    "So you are Ye Chen. I''ve heard about you from Yu Ling before. Thank you for what happened last time."


    On the surface, Chu Chengfeng was not smiling. He looked down at Ye Chen and said a few polite words.


    He did not have much interest in the young man who the Chu Clan called a master.


    "He is someone our Chu Clan has brought, this is the invitation card."


    The girl seemed to know that Ye Chen was in trouble, as she directly showed her invitation to the guard.


    Seeing that the Chu Family''s daughter had come out, the two guards stepped aside dejectedly and let Ye Chen in.


    "The last time Duanmu Lei asked you to come participate in this year''s Jade Artifact Grand Meeting, I wonder what their Duanmu Clan will do."


    As the two of them walked in parallel, Chu Yuling, who was standing beside Ye Chen, started to worry.


    After all, his Duanmu Clan had an extremely high reputation among the jade stones, especially in Yan Jing. It was a place where they monopolized an entire region.


    If they really were to fight, how could Ye Chen be a match?


    Of course, that was only because Chu Yuling did not know that the last time Liu Yingying had accompanied Ye Chen on a shopping trip, she had opened a dragon jade in a jade shop.


    "Oh? Does little brother want to bet stones with the Duanmu Family? "


    When Chu Chengfeng heard the two talk, he couldn''t help but ask.


    He had only heard that Ye Chen had some medical skills, and even had some doubts about them. Now, he heard that Ye Chen was going to gamble with the big boss of the Jadestone World, the Duanmu family.


    As he thought about all these, his impression of Ye Chen got worse.


    "That Duanmu Lei should have used the gambling stones as his motive to come knocking again. I''ve come here this time because I want to see what methods their Duanmu Clan has."


    Ye Chen was extremely calm. He waved his hand, and said nonchalantly.


    In the eyes of the Chu Family, the Duanmu Family was a huge power that they could not easily offend. But in their eyes, it was only this much!


    "The methods of the Duanmu family?" "Little Brother sure knows how to joke around. That is a top existence in the Jadestone World, not someone a junior like you can compare to!"

 C75

    Hearing Ye Chen''s arrogant words, Chu Chengfeng laughed.


    The expression on his face couldn''t help but darken a bit. When he looked at the youth behind him again, his eyes were filled with contempt and disdain.


    "He''s so young and yet he doesn''t know when to stop. He doesn''t know what''s good for him, so what kind of master is this?"


    Ye Chen mumbled to himself, but he could not be bothered to say anything else.


    Right now, even though Ye Chen was the legendary master in the eyes of the Chu Clan, in his eyes, he was nothing more than a joke.


    "Ye Chen, are you sure?" "That Duanmu Lei might be a little hateful, but his Duanmu Family ¡­"


    The young girl blinked her large and watery eyes. The worry on her delicate face became even more apparent.


    Although he had some understanding of Ye Chen and knew about the way young people dealt with things, even if he had some medical skills or martial arts skills, it did not mean that Ye Chen had the ability to fight against the Duanmu family alone.


    One had to know that the Duanmu family that Duanmu Lei belonged to had quite a deep foundation in Yan Jing. They were, after all, the backbone of a second-rate clan.


    "It''s fine. We''ll talk about it when the time comes."


    Ye Chen still did not take it to heart, he only gave a faint smile and comforted Chu Yuling, who was standing beside him.


    As for Chu Chengfeng, after hearing what Ye Chen had said, he was naturally even more annoyed with this little rascal.


    He was even starting to suspect that Ye Chen was a master because the Chu Clan had made a mistake.


    Ye Chen followed the two to the hall of the Jade Artifact Grand Meeting, which was also the 23rd floor of the Jade Gathering Pavilion.


    When the three of them came in, the place was already packed.


    The layout of the hall was extremely strange. It was shaped like a ring and extremely spacious. Along the walls of the hall, there were all sorts of finished jade stones, jade artifacts, and other oddities. There were all sorts of ores that had yet to be excavated.


    It could be said that the size of this place was many times bigger than what Ye Chen had seen on that jade street before.


    At the center of the hall was a leisure area, with various wine and food, self-service, and a stage area at the centre.


    Looking at the complicated layout and the variety of treasures, even Ye Chen was a bit confused for a while.


    It had to be said that this was the first time Ye Chen had ever seen this Jade Gathering Pavilion''s grandeur and grandeur.


    Ye Chen and Chu Yuling found an inconspicuous place to sit down. They were tasting the wine on the table while chatting.


    The young girl''s youthful appearance and long slender legs that were exposed from under the short skirt were definitely one of the focuses of attention wherever she went.


    Even though the location was not very conspicuous, Ye Chen could still feel the burning gazes that were directed at him.


    If looks could kill, then he definitely wouldn''t be able to sit next to Chu Yuling. Even if he did, 100 lives wouldn''t be enough.


    "Miss, would you mind giving me a drink?"


    Just as Chu Yuling was about to continue talking to Ye Chen, that voice suddenly interrupted her.


    It was a man around the same age as the two of them. Judging from his suit and the way Anima was dressed, it was obvious that he was from a wealthy family.


    "It''s you?" "Lin Tao, you still have the face to look for me?"


    As soon as Chu Yuling saw that familiar face, her face was filled with an unconcealable rage.


    Speaking of which, he was acquainted with Ye Chen. It was also because of the Lin Family''s entanglement that Ye Chen had met a hero on the way here, the one who saved the beauty.


    "Miss Chu, you cannot speak nonsense. How can I, Lin Tao, not have face?" After all, I am not like some people who dress up like a poor person and even want to eat swan meat like a toad! "


    Lin Tao appeared gentle and serious, faintly taunting Ye Chen who had yet to make a sound.


    With his Lin family''s young master''s eyesight, he could naturally see that Chu Chengfeng did not like this young man. Also, he was not a member of the Chu family, so he shouldn''t have come here.


    "Lin Tao, get lost! You''re not welcomed here!"


    The young girl''s face turned slightly red, and her heart was filled with rage.


    Hearing about Ye Chen who was being slandered by these beasts, how could he bear it?


    One must know that this Lin Tao had repeatedly tried to kidnap her to force her to do this. This matter, Chu Yuling knew it better than anyone else.


    "What is it? You only know how to hide behind a woman. If you have the ability, then stand out and talk to me? "


    Lin Tao raised his eyebrows and ignored Chu Yuling.


    Looking at Ye Chen who was slowly tasting the red wine in his glass, the sarcasm and disdain in his voice was obvious.


    However, Ye Chen still did not look at Lin Tao who was standing in front of him.


    The reason he came here today was to settle the score with Duanmu Lei, and to see if he could get some things that he wanted. As for the other rich and the rich and the scum, he did not have any intentions of tidying up.


    "Oh, you''re right. For someone like you, being able to come here is already a blessing. Taste the Lafite Red Bar in your hands. Any one of those bottles is enough for you to work hard for several years!"


    Seeing that Ye Chen did not answer, Lin Tao talked to himself.


    The voice was not loud, as if it was not meant for Ye Chen, but rather it had attracted the attention of a group of people.


    Even Chu Chengfeng, who was standing not too far away and chatting with a few business partners, heard everything clearly.


    When Chu Chengfeng noticed that the one who had started a fight with Ye Chen was the young master of the Lin family from Yan Jing, his eyebrows instantly furrowed.


    The Lin family in Beijing was a first-rate family, and also a tycoon in terms of business.


    The industry distribution under his command was extremely wide, it was an existence that could cover the sky with one hand in Beijing.


    Such a large power, even if it was the current Chu Clan, could not afford to offend them.


    If this really started, it would be fine for the so-called Master Ye to get involved, but once it involved the entire Chu Clan, it would no longer be a joke ¡­


    "Who is this fellow? To think that he would dare to go against young master Lin Tao!"


    "Hehe, it''s obvious that a toad wants to eat swan meat. You actually dare to fight over a woman with Young Master Lin, you really are shameless!"


    "Exactly, why don''t you go home and look in a mirror to see how much you''re worth before coming back here to act so arrogantly ¡­"


    The mockery from the crowd assaulted his face.


    It was as if in an instant, Ye Chen was completely submerged within it.

 C76

    Hearing the mocking and ridicule coming from the surroundings, Chu Yu Ling''s expression changed.


    If this carried on, Ye Chen would never be able to explain himself.


    Lin Tao had slandered such a good gathering for no reason at all. It could only be said that he was unlucky.


    "Oh?" Isn''t this our Master Ye? What? He''s finally here today? "


    Just as ridicule followed after ridicule, the sudden interjection once again caused the atmosphere to change slightly.


    Especially when some people saw the newcomer, they could not help but reveal an evil smile. One could only say that it was going to be a good show today.


    Naturally, there was no one else who had come. The young master of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Lei, was walking towards them with a face full of contempt.


    Beside him was another hot lady dressed in thick makeup.


    From the looks of it, she had completely lost interest in Chu Yuling because of her previous rejection.


    "Duanmu, you know this guy?"


    Lin Tao glanced at Duanmu Lei and asked.


    He, Lin Tao, had long disliked this poor youngster who had unknown origins. No matter what, he was the dignified Lin Clan''s Eldest Young Master, so why couldn''t he take care of this fellow before him?


    "I do. He''s just a poor kid who only knows how to flaunt and cheat. Such a small character is not worthy of being in Young Master Lin''s eyes."


    Duanmu Lei looked at Ye Chen with disdain, and replied with a look of disapproval.


    He had already hated Ye Chen to the bones, and he would not give him any face at all.


    However, after hearing Duanmu Lei''s evaluation, the anger on Chu Yuling''s face grew even stronger.


    Today, Ye Chen could be said to have been brought here by her. Naturally, she did not want him to suffer any humiliation at all.


    "Yu Ling, come here. We, the Chu Clan, will not get involved in today''s matter. This is a matter between this little brother and the Lin Clan, as well as the Duanmu Clan."


    Before Chu Yuling could say anything, Chu Chengfeng, who had noticed that something was wrong, stopped her.


    He did not want the Chu Clan to be involved.


    Regardless of whether it was the Duanmu or the Lin Clan, they were not people that the Chu Clan would casually provoke.


    "But, Ye Chen is still trying to do that to our Chu Family."


    "No buts. Yu Ling, come here."


    Chu Chengfeng''s face turned cold and his tone became a bit stern.


    From the looks of it, even if Chu Yuling did not come, the Chu Clan would not stand on Ye Chen''s side and say anything.


    The young girl''s face fell, but no matter what, she didn''t have the ability to change the situation.


    If Chu Chengfeng had not appeared, Ye Chen would not have been in a good situation.


    "Ye Chen, you ¡­"


    "It''s alright, you go over first. I''ll be there in a bit."


    Ye Chen gave her a faint smile and waved his hand, showing that he did not care.


    In the eyes of others, the two people in front of him might be people they could not afford to offend, but in the eyes of Ye Chen, they were just two small fries.


    "What is it? "Ye Chen, now, no one will speak up for you."


    Duanmu Lei looked at Ye Chen in a provocative manner, looking down from above.


    "We previously agreed to come here to gamble. I wonder if Grandmaster Ye has the guts to gamble with our Duanmu Family again?"


    Duanmu Lei continued to provoke him. Today, he wouldn''t let this kid off.


    "Stone gambling? With the level that your Duanmu Clan was at last time, it would be better not to.


    Ye Chen waved his hand, looking like he was too lazy to bother with Duanmu Lei.


    In the eyes of the people around him, his arrogant attitude towards Ye Chen was just full of ridicule!


    The Duanmu family was an existence comparable to the bosses of the Jadestone World. Yet, this youth before them, who wasn''t even twenty years old, was actually so domineering.


    To be able to compete with the Duanmu family, it could only be said that this person was either crazy or stupid.


    "Oh, young people these days are always so proud and arrogant, thinking of a way to show off everything. However, I wonder how foolish my actions are!"


    Behind Duanmu Lei, the group of people that had rushed over after having heard what Ye Chen had said, and they could not help but laugh out loud.


    The people who were standing here today were all the famous Treasure Appraisal Masters of Yan Jing city. They had gathered here in order to participate in this Jade Artifact Assembly.


    But who would have thought that such a lowly youth would be so arrogant and shameless!


    "That is ¡­" Grandmaster Jiangnan, the Duanmu family''s first honorary jadestone Grandmaster! "


    "Holy sh * t!" Master Gu actually came here, that''s the same Master who had Long Yu under his command! "


    "To think that I would be so lucky today ¡­"


    As soon as the white-bearded old man who had spoken earlier appeared, the crowd burst into an uproar!


    The Great Master Gu of Jiangnan was the famous Great Master Jadestone!


    Even the Duanmu family could only worship this kind of important figure, and was even willing to let him be a part of the Duanmu family''s name.


    Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to invite someone of this level even if they wanted to.


    After all, compared to the Master Li with Duanmu Lei that Ye Chen had seen before, it was only a firefly to the bright moon.


    "The current juniors truly do not have the slightest bit of calmness. How about we back then ¡­"


    Master Gu took another glance at Ye Chen, who was standing in front of him. He had the look of a lecturer teaching a lesson to a junior.


    "Kid, you, you were able to obtain the guidance of Grandmaster Gu. You must learn well."


    Another stonecutter spoke up beside Grandmaster Gu.


    From his tone, it seemed as if he was proud of Great Master Gu.


    "Is that so? As long as I practice it, Master, I do not think that I am inferior to you in any way! "


    Ye Chen let out a few bland words, which almost made everyone on the scene spit out blood!


    He didn''t even bother to look at who was in front of him. Wasn''t he courting death by betting with Master Gu?


    In all these years, no one in Jiangnan had ever heard of anyone daring to compete with a master.


    "Ye Chen!"


    Behind her, Chu Yuling''s face also changed. The worry on her little face was becoming more and more apparent.


    After all, the one standing in front of Ye Chen was a Master Gu!


    "I already said that this kid is unreliable, how could he possibly be a master? Yu Ling, stay away from this kind of person in the future!"


    Chu Chengfeng coldly warned Chu Yuling, his tone was extremely stern.


    When he looked at Ye Chen, his face was filled with scorn and ridicule.


    From now on, this kind of person was nothing in their eyes.


    "What a funny brat. I want to see how this brat will end this time!"


    Lin Tao looked at Ye Chen with a teasing look, he lifted his chin and was ready to watch a good show.

 C77

    Seeing Ye Chen provoke Master Gu, Duanmu Lei was overjoyed.


    Originally, the goal today was to let Great Master Gu make a move and teach this kid a lesson, so that he could regain his face from last time.


    Moreover, in a place like this, if he were to lose, it would not be that simple.


    "Alright, arrogant brat. This old man wants to see just how capable you are!"


    Master Gu was puffing his beard and glaring at Ye Chen. He did not even bother to look at Ye Chen anymore.


    This was the first time he had met such an ungrateful junior in a long time.


    "Master Ye, the stone gambling this time is not as simple as before. Our Duanmu family will not help you guarantee the price of the ore. What, do you have anything that you can take out?"


    Duanmu Lei looked at Ye Chen mockingly.


    This kind of ridicule was like saying that the kid in front of him couldn''t afford to gamble.


    "Is this Amethyst Jade enough?"


    Ye Chen casually took out an amethyst jade about the size of his thumb.


    Because he had previously cultivated, he had absorbed most of the Spiritual Aura within it. At this moment, the Amethyst Jade only emitted a faint glow, appearing somewhat dim.


    But amethyst jade was still amethyst jade, even if it was a low grade amethyst jade, if one didn''t have ten million it would still be worth several million.


    "Since Young Master Duanmu still wants to bet with me, then I don''t mind accompanying him to the end. However, I just don''t know what Young Master Duanmu will take out if he loses this time."


    Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, and started to mock Duanmu Lei.


    These words were undoubtedly stabbing at Duanmu Lei''s pain.


    That humiliating incident last time was definitely a humiliation to the Duanmu family.


    "Haha, I let you get lucky last time, so it''s nothing. If you win, I, Duanmu Lei, will let you buy ten pieces of top grade ore here today. What do you think?"


    With a wave of his hand, Duanmu Lei could be said to be incomparably heroic.


    No matter what, he couldn''t lose his momentum.


    One had to know that the prices of the top-grade ores here weren''t inferior to ordinary jade at all.


    The most expensive one was at least a million. Ten pieces of Purple Crystal Jade. Compared to the ordinary Purple Crystal Jade that Ye Chen had taken out, this piece was way more extravagant.


    "Brat, that''s a bet between you and Young Master Duanmu. Do you want to bet me something?"


    By the side, Master Gu seemed to be somewhat interested when he heard the exchange between the two.


    If this was a real bet, how could he let this arrogant kid get away with it?


    "Oh? Master Gu wants to make a bet too? I am willing to accompany you! "


    Ye Chen gave a calm smile, as if he was not going to refuse anyone.


    However, in the eyes of others, his appearance was completely stupid!


    He didn''t even look at who the person in front of him was. He was still betting. The others wouldn''t dare to have even the slightest thought of betting on stone in front of Great Master Gu even if they had the guts to eat a bear heart leopard.


    "I bet you, as a master of my Jadestone Realm, will kowtow to me and admit your wrongs if you lose! How could someone like you be able to infringe upon my dignity? "


    Master Gu was just as heroic and proud as he was.


    In his eyes, this little brat who was not even twenty years old was nothing, he did not even need to put him in his eyes.


    Almost at the same time, Duanmu Lei and Lin Tao, who was watching the show, were overjoyed!


    If he had to f * cking block it all up, Ye Chen would be the only one who would lose face today!


    Seeing someone like Ye Chen kowtowing and admitting his mistake was definitely better than winning by one million!


    "Ye Chen, you better think carefully, that is ¡­"


    "Good!" I bet! "


    Before Chu Yuling could finish her sentence, the boy''s firm and unquestionable affirmation spread out.


    This time, Chu Yuling was truly in a bit of a hurry.


    If he were to lose like this, then he would lose the money and the jade. He would also lose all face and be kicked out like a dead dog!


    No matter what, the young girl did not want to see such an ending.


    As she thought about it, her delicate face started to wrinkle. Traces of worry started to fill her heart.


    "Hehe, arrogant brat!"


    On the side, Chu Chengfeng began to secretly rejoice and feel proud.


    It was a good thing that his wise choice did not allow the Chu Clan to get involved with this kind of person.


    With how reckless and ignorant he was, if he did not send the Chu Clan over, then he would have truly seen a ghost.


    "Good!" Alright, junior, since you are so determined, I will let you experience what a true grandmaster of jade is like today! "


    Master Gu was so angry that he started laughing. He looked at Ye Chen.


    It had been many years since anyone dared to challenge such an authority.


    It has to be said that ever since I became famous, this is the first time I''ve been provoked by someone from the junior generation.


    "Next, I announce that the Jadeite Artifact Assembly has officially begun!"


    As the stone gambling started, everyone''s attention was focused on Master Gu and Ye Chen who was standing in front of him.


    Of course, there wouldn''t be any idiots who would naively believe that the great elder of the Jadestone World, Great Master Gu, would lose to the junior in front of him today.


    "Hehe, let''s see what else you can do today!"


    Duanmu Lei snorted and stared at Ye Chen in disdain.


    From the looks of it, both the old accounts and the new ones today had the chance to settle it together.


    "Now, everyone has half an hour to choose your best rock. Grandmaster Gu, we''ll start with you!"


    As the announcement sounded, the eyes of all the jade masters swept across the stage in waves.


    In the stone gambling this time, everyone was going to pick a piece of ore and compare its value.


    Not only was it possible to lay down those top-grade jade stones, but it was also possible to achieve the purpose of testing one''s skills. The organizers of this event could be said to have killed two birds with one stone.


    Master Gu was calm and composed as he began to sweep the area, carefully selecting the areas of the top ores.


    From the looks of it, he indeed had quite the demeanor of a master.


    Ye Chen, as a nameless junior, was naturally pushed to the back of the line. He did not go to the top ores area at all, he just chose a weirdly shaped stone from the area beside him.


    At least, in the eyes of the crowd, this was what the youth chose.


    "I have."


    Ye Chen nodded at the official, then pointed at the stone he picked out.


    The whole process took around half an hour. At most, half a minute was more or less the same.


    What followed was a burst of laughter!


    "Hahaha, this kid ¡­" Are you here to tease me? "


    "That''s right, where is there someone who would choose a rock like that?" That piece of trash could produce jade, so I will live and eat shit! "


    "What a joke, I bet 10,000, he won''t be able to take out the jade!" I bet one hundred thousand ¡­ "

 C78

    The notary from the rock gambling district also looked at the ''master'' who picked out the stone today with a helpless and mocking expression.


    To be honest, if he believed that Ye Chen, this stone that he had picked out in half a minute, could take out the jade, then he would have been crushed in the head by the door.


    "Are you sure you want to choose this piece? "If you choose, then you can''t go back on your word."


    The notary replied impatiently. This kind of funny master had given him quite a bit of experience.


    "I''ll choose this one."


    Ye Chen replied blandly, he was still calm and composed, without a single ripple.


    From the looks of it, he seemed to have determined that he would be able to take out the jade.


    This made the spectators even more certain that the youth from today was a fool!


    "Hur hur, you''re already impatient. Are you going to give up? "He really is a piece of trash."


    Lin Tao was ridiculing Ye Chen from the side. He kept throwing dirty water at Ye Chen.


    At this time, of course he would have to give this Ye Chen a good beating in front of Chu Yuling.


    As for Duanmu Lei and the hot lady beside him, they did not even bother to look at Ye Chen.


    This sort of scum that had already given up was already his fate.


    As for this stone gambling, it continued.


    The rest of the people were carefully sizing up the pieces of jade in front of them, preparing to bet on the stone.


    Everyone was extremely careful when choosing a rock. It could even be said that they were all extremely cautious.


    Originally, this task required a large amount of experience and a thorough understanding of the jade. Only then could one see through the thick stone skin and see the abilities of the jade stone inside.


    The texture, folds, lubrication, shape, and color of the ore was one of his considerations.


    Therefore, the duration of normal rock selection was a bit long.


    As for Ye Chen, he was an exception. Of course, he could only be treated as someone who was randomly choosing a rock, gave up on his own life, and insisted on showing his face.


    "I have."


    About twenty minutes later, the delighted Great Master Gu finally raised his head and pointed out the ore he chose to the notary.


    The size of this ore was more than twice the size of Ye Chen''s previous one.


    It was as smooth as a huge watermelon.


    The wrinkles on it were very clear. They were the same as the ones on the stone wall. From the color and the skin, it seemed like it was made of high-quality stone.


    "Tsk tsk tsk, you truly are worthy of being a Great Master Gu. These looks are truly different!"


    "That''s right. I''ve seen it today. The stone that the master picked out. Look at the texture, the color ¡­"


    "Look at the strange rocks that that kid picked, they''re just trash!"


    The surrounding people could be said to be praising him continuously.


    They naturally did not dare to retort against a stone that had been picked by an authority like Master Gu.


    Whether it was the size, the texture, or the cortex, the ore chosen by Master Gu was the best choice. It could be said that out of the thousands of ores present, it was the best existence.


    "I''ve also chosen ¡­"


    Following that, the other masters had also chosen their stones and given them to the notary.


    However, if one was a bit more careful, they would realize that all the stones that had been picked here today, except for Ye Chen and a couple of other guys, had been chosen from the top quality ores.


    Generally speaking, among these top ores that could be picked by anyone, it was much more likely that there would be a precious jade.


    As long as one wasn''t a fool, he or she would absolutely not choose ores from other places.


    But this Ye Chen, he was so stupid!


    Humph, young man, you are ignorant. What you have chosen is true. There are no wrinkles and it is extremely messy. Your skin is even thicker.


    Master Gu glanced at the stone that Ye Chen had picked, and could not help but to give a lesson.


    As a senior, he naturally had to rely on his seniority at this time to give this ignorant junior a good beating.


    "Master Gu is right! This piece of trash is just randomly chosen! "


    Duanmu Lei hurriedly flattered Master Gu.


    By the way, he could even step on Ye Chen''s foot.


    "Master, there''s no need to say too much to such a person. Just open the door, this is the main event of the day."


    "That''s right, don''t waste your time with these small fry!"


    The surrounding voices instantly drowned out the people in the arena.


    Anyways, no one would care about Ye Chen''s trash, at least that was what most of the people present thought.


    The reason they came here today was to broaden their horizons, and also to auction the jade stones they offered.


    "Alright, prepare to open the rock!"


    "Hua Hua Ka!"


    As the cutting machine and blade descended, the stone that the various masters had picked out earlier was finally completely displayed in front of everyone''s eyes at this moment.


    "Grandmaster He Quan, Blue River Jade!"


    "Master Li Mujun, Yellowstone!"


    "Master Qiu Cheng, Bai Mu Yu!"


    "..."


    As the announcement sounded out again and again, the crowd gradually began to boil.


    With so many masters here, almost all of them could cut a piece of jade.


    He even heard about a few pieces of jade that were worth millions!


    White Wood Jade was a top-grade jade. Even in Yan Jing, it was an extremely rare existence. A single one would be auctioned off for several millions of gold coins, and the highest one would be at least ten million gold coins!


    As the crowd''s expectations slowly rose, their gazes also gradually turned fiery hot. This was because they had begun to land on Master Gu''s ore, which had yet to appear.


    One had to know, what kind of person was Grandmaster Gu!


    How could the jade chosen be ordinary?


    "Next, Master Gu''s ore!"


    The Seamstress and the notary looked nervous and excited. Even the announcement had a touch of excitement in it.


    At this moment, everyone''s attention was gathered at a peak state.


    How could he miss Master Gu''s ore?


    "Crack crack crack!"


    Following the sound of falling stones, Master Gu''s jade was also slowly cut open.


    At this moment, everyone held their breaths as they awaited the final result.


    "Crack!"


    After another slash, a trace of resplendent golden light suddenly burst out from within the ore!


    Within that light, there was a faint golden thread, incomparably dazzling.


    The moment they reacted, the entire venue began to boil with excitement!


    "That is ¡­" "Dragon Jade!"

 C79

    Almost at the same time that the exclamation was heard, the entire audience was stunned when they saw the rock chosen by the Grandmaster.


    Dragon Jade, what did that mean?


    If White Wood Jade was considered one of the top-grade jade stones in the Jadestone World, then Dragon Jade was the highest amongst the top. In truth, the value of a single Dragon Jade was over a hundred million.


    Moreover, even if they sold it at this price, there would still be a market without a price.


    "Grandmaster Gu is truly worthy to be called a Grandmaster. He truly has the demeanor of a Grandmaster Jiangnan!"


    "This is what a true master is like!"


    "It''s actually Long Yu. Coming here today has really broadened my horizons ¡­"


    In the audience, the cheers went on and on.


    This time, Master Gu''s name was truly going to resound throughout the entire arena.


    To be able to open such a top grade jade and select it from so many raw stones, this ability was something that no one present was able to match!


    "How is it? Ye Chen, what else do you want to say? Today, Master Gu gave us the Dragon Jade. Do you think there''s still a need to take out your dilapidated ore? "


    At this moment, Duanmu Lei''s tail was almost reaching the sky.


    For a top grade jade stone like this to appear in this competition meant that victory was within his grasp.


    "Sigh, what a disgrace. If I were you, I would have already rolled away by myself. How would I even have the face to stand here?"


    Lin Tao, who was standing on the other side, started to look at Ye Chen mockingly.


    He, who was waiting to see a good show, was naturally happier than anyone else when he saw this scene.


    As for Chu Chengfeng, who had already left with Chu Yuling, his face was full of joy. When he looked at Ye Chen again, he was already too lazy to give any more comments.


    It could be said that there was no longer any need to evaluate such a person.


    "Yu Ling, cut off all contact with this kind of people from now on!"


    Chu Chengfeng did not care about the worry on the girl''s face. He directly rejected the girl''s relationship with Ye Chen.


    The Chu Clan was still one of the famous families in Yan Jing. Compared to Ye Chen who had no history and was a rogue cultivator, they were definitely a lot better.


    In Chu Chengfeng''s eyes, the Ye Chen in front of him was nothing. If it wasn''t for the fact that the Chu Family had given him the title of ''Master'', he would not even have acknowledged Ye Chen.


    "But, he ¡­"


    Chu Yuling wanted to say something, but found that she was unable to refute him.


    No matter what, this time Master Gu had given out a dragon jade, which was a top grade jade. Even if Ye Chen had some ability, but he ¡­


    "Long Yu? Is that so? "In my opinion, that''s just trash!"


    Ye Chen glanced at the golden light, his face was filled with scorn and ridicule, which was quite sudden, which made the people around him even more furious.


    In this kind of situation, he still dared to be rude and be so stubborn. It could be said that Ye Chen was one of the top shameless people they had ever seen.


    "Ye Chen, you''re about to die, and you still dare to talk back!?" Do you really think that this is the place where you have the final say!? "


    Duanmu Lei snapped angrily, staring at Ye Chen who was standing in front of him while calling the security guards around him.


    From the looks of it, if Ye Chen still dared to say anything, then today, he would be directly thrown out.


    "Crack crack!"


    Just as Master Gu was preparing to teach this arrogant kid who didn''t know how high the sky or how deep the earth was, a slight cracking sound gradually spread out.


    What followed was a burst of crashing sounds.


    The dragon jade that was not even the size of a fist suddenly shattered into powder crystals!


    It was as if an incomparably exquisite statue had instantly crumbled into a pile of trash.


    "This is ¡­" Broken Jade! "


    At this moment, the crowd that had been clamoring earlier were all dumbfounded.


    This kind of broken jade was the first low grade mistake that a Stone Master would avoid. After opening this kind of jade, regardless of what the original jade was, it would be worthless!


    Simply put, it was a piece of trash!


    "This... How is this possible!? How could it be broken jade! "


    Great Master Gu''s eyebrows were knitted together, while the wrinkles on his face also started to tremble.


    The gloomy expression on his face, which was so dark it seemed to be terrifying, spoke volumes about what he was thinking at the moment.


    Taking out the broken jade meant that all the glory in this gamble would be gone in an instant!


    "This ¡­"


    The crowd was also shocked. Only Ye Chen was still standing there blandly, looking at the arrogant Duanmu Lei and Master Gu with disdain.


    These two had thought that their victory was within their grasp from the very beginning, but who would have thought that they would end up like this at the very last moment!


    "How is it? Great Master Gu, do you still want to compete with me for this broken jade? "


    Ye Chen spat out lightly. It was a perfect example of a tooth for a tooth.


    What these people had said before was like slapping their own face!


    "Humph!" So what if it was broken jade? You couldn''t get anything out of it! Even jade fragments are more valuable than those without the jade stones you have. "


    It could be said that Duanmu Lei was forcefully holding on to his face.


    No matter what, he must not lose to Ye Chen today.


    Otherwise, it would have been like lifting a stone to smash one''s own foot.


    Not only would he lose ten pieces of top grade ore, he would also lose the face of the Duanmu family!


    Furthermore, Grandmaster Gu would also place the blame for this on the Duanmu family. At that time, the Duanmu family would truly suffer unspeakably.


    "Brat, don''t be too happy too early. Even if it is broken jade, it is only because I was wrong about it. However, you don''t have the qualifications to examine it!"


    Master Gu was also unwilling to be outdone.


    Facing Ye Chen, who was an unknown existence, with his many years of experience, it would be a fantasy if he wanted to get his hands on a piece of jade.


    "Next, we will use the ore chosen by Master Ye Chen."


    That notary called Ye Chen a master with a weird voice, it pushed Ye Chen to the heart of the struggle.


    "Hehe, I think that this kid can''t even spit out an ivory from his mouth!"


    "I would like to see how this fellow can continue acting!"


    The disturbance in the crowd made Ye Chen feel even worse.


    "Hua Hua!"


    With the cut from the stone master, the small piece of ore was finally cut open, layer by layer.


    However, other than more and more pieces of stone fragments, there was almost nothing else ¡­

 C80

    "Ye Chen, do you want to cut more? That trash of yours won''t be able to produce any jade! "


    Duanmu Lei was laughing out loud.


    At this time, it was already certain that the current Ye Chen was going to die.


    As long as Ye Chen lost today, then he, Duanmu, would rely on his family''s power to teach this arrogant kid a lesson!


    "I''ve already told you this, how can a ore with such a thick layer of skin appear!"


    Master Gu was stroking his beard, acting like an old man, teaching Ye Chen, a junior, a lesson.


    The cheering from the crowd reached its climax this time. No matter what, as long as Ye Chen could not bring out the jade, then this bet would be made by this arrogant kid!


    "Hua!"


    As the rock slicing master''s seemingly hopeless blade descended, that faint golden glow once again appeared in front of everyone''s eyes.


    Although this thread of gold was much fainter than before, it was still a type of unique golden light!


    "Another one ¡­" "Dragon Jade!"


    When the thumb-sized piece of jade was presented to the crowd, everyone was dumbfounded!


    Long Yu, this piece of trash ore that all the jade masters did not think highly of, had actually opened up another top grade jade. Although it was small in size, it was still a real dragon jade no matter what!


    And all of these were thanks to that unknown, even unknown, Ye Chen!


    In other words, Ye Chen was not even one step ahead of Master Gu when it came to appraising stones. In fact, he was even more powerful than this Master Gu in front of him!


    When they thought of this, the way the crowd looked at the youth once again gradually changed!


    "This... "How is this possible!?"


    Great Master Gu almost disregarded his image as he shouted out.


    His face was full of astonishment and disbelief as he looked at the thumb-sized golden jade!


    The dragon jade was actually the real dragon jade!


    And in today''s gambling house, he, the exalted Grandmaster Jiangnan, had thoroughly fallen into the hands of this young man before him.


    "You brat!"


    Duanmu Lei was so angry that his face alternated between green and white. However, at such a time, the truth was right in front of him. Even if he was the young master of the Duanmu family, what could he do!?


    "I, Gu, have lost. I''m afraid I''m not as skilled as you, Master Ye!"


    Master Gu was trying his best to force himself to bow his head in front of this youth who wasn''t even twenty years old.


    If such explosive news were to spread out, it would definitely cause the entire Yan Jing city, and even the entire Jiang-Nan region, to be shaken!


    "Buzz!"


    The crowd felt as if their minds had exploded and the entire world had become unreal.


    Ye Chen, actually won? What virtue and ability did he have to win against Master Gu in front of him?!


    "This ¡­"


    Chu Chengfeng, who had been trying to persuade his niece Chu Yuling to stay away from this brat named Ye Chen, was also stunned.


    At this moment, even though he had experienced half of his life and was very old, he still could not sit still.


    From the beginning to the end, he had never had a good impression of the young man in front of him!


    However, who would have thought that there would be such a turning point in the end!


    "What is it? Young Master Duanmu, may I know what bet you were talking about earlier? "


    Ye Chen looked at Duanmu Lei, whose smile had already frozen on his face, and said coldly.


    He clearly remembered how arrogant Duanmu Lei was just now.


    He clearly remembered the bet between the ten top ores.


    This was close to ten million in value. Even for their Duanmu Family, this was no small amount.


    "A bet?" You are not the Grandmaster whom we invited here today. You do not have an invitation, nor do you have the qualifications to stand here! "


    Duanmu Lei''s look changed as he started to taunt Ye Chen.


    In today''s Jade Artifact Grand Meeting, only the great masters that were invited to this event would be placed, and the boy in front of them would not be invited at all!


    "If you don''t have the invitation, then your stone gambling qualifications will be voided!"


    Duanmu Lei continued to clamor.


    However, after hearing what he said, the surrounding rich young masters also began to follow his words and understand.


    As long as he could not admit to it, even if Ye Chen was extremely capable, so what? Isn''t it still void!


    "You people! It was clearly you who lost first, and you still dare to deny it! "


    At this moment, not to mention Ye Chen, even Chu Yuling, who was standing on the other side, could not stand watching this anymore.


    This was clearly an act of disregarding one''s debt.


    "Security, people who don''t have the qualifications to come here, and don''t have an invitation card, kick them out!"


    Duanmu Lei waved to the security guard and was ready to ask Ye Chen out.


    "That''s right. Trash like you is not worthy of standing here. If you do not scram from here today, my Lin Family will definitely become true trash in the future!"


    Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lin Tao had already started to attack Ye Chen who was standing in front of him.


    Given their Lin Family''s prestige, as long as they opened their mouths, it would not even take a minute for them to get rid of this trash in front of them.


    "How is it? I, Lin Tao, am not someone you can afford to offend! "If you kneel down and apologize to this grandpa today, I might even consider leaving a spot for trash like you. Otherwise ¡­"


    Lin Tao smiled gleefully.


    Today, their Lin Family was one of the major shareholders in the organizers of the Jade Artifact Assembly. Speaking of which, his authority was even greater than Duanmu''s.


    It could be said that the Lin Clan was in charge here today.


    "You!"


    Chu Yuling almost cried tears for Ye Chen''s injustice. This group of people, they were so hateful!


    Her only hope now was that Chu Chengfeng would be able to say something.


    "Sigh, so what if he has some skills? After provoking such a big family, he ended up suffering the same miserable ending. I can only say that this boy is too blind. Our Chu family should not interfere ¡­"


    Chu Chengfeng shook his head. Even if his attitude towards Ye Chen had changed a little, it did not mean that he would stand up for the teenager right now.


    After all, if the Chu Clan''s future was taken into consideration, it would not be worth it for such a master.


    "Ye Chen, what''s wrong?" Either kneel down, or get lost! "


    Lin Tao continued to clamor, completely ignoring the rest of the people present. Even with the power and authority of his Lin Family, he had the status and power to do so.


    However, at this moment, an angry voice floated in from the entrance, causing everyone present to be stunned for a moment!


    "Bastard!" You''re the one who got lost! "

 C81

    Without a doubt, the roar coming from the entrance was directed towards the Lin Family''s, Yan Jing''s top business figure, the young master of the Lin Family, who was an absolute first-rate power family!


    Not to mention this place, even in the entire Yan Jing city, not many people would dare to speak to Lin Tao in such a manner!


    However, when everyone turned to look at the person, not only Lin Tao, everyone was instantly stunned.


    "That is ¡­" Chairman of the New Source Group, head of the Lin Family, Lin Yutian! "


    "What!?" "Dad ¡­"


    The arrogant smile on Lin Tao''s face instantly crumbled! What replaced it was a fear and shock that came from the bottom of his heart!


    One must know that in Yan Jing, their Lin Family was an existence that could cover the sky with one hand. Even the mayor of Yan Jing, Liu Qingshan, did not dare to be disrespectful to his Lin Family.


    However, today, his father had scolded him in public for such a nameless kid!


    This... What did it mean!


    This was impossible!


    Lin Tao''s heart was in turmoil as waves of fear and disbelief flooded his heart. No matter what, he couldn''t believe what he saw.


    He still held onto that last sliver of hope and wanted to confirm it.


    "Dad, he''s just a gangster ¡­"


    "Shut up! He is Master Ye, not someone you can afford to offend! If you dare to say another word of disrespect, then scram from here! "


    This time, Boss Lin''s roar was like a bolt out of the blue that completely exploded in the entire arena.


    Master Ye? He is Master Ye! The person who made the big boss of a first-rate power in Yan Jing, Boss Lin, call him a master!


    At this moment, everyone was frozen in place, as if they were petrified and unable to move!


    Doubt, disbelief, and all sorts of doubts gradually transformed into shock, shock, and fear!


    The expressions on the faces of those present all changed, as though they were all perfect actors, displaying their expressions to the fullest.


    This was especially true for Lin Tao, the person in question. Now, he was truly dumbfounded!


    His face turned deathly pale.


    His father had actually rejected him in this kind of situation, and turned that nameless kid into someone the Lin Clan could not afford to offend.


    Even though Lin Tao was extremely arrogant, he wasn''t so stupid that he couldn''t see the current situation clearly.


    Even the Lin Clan could not afford to offend this person, needless to say, him!


    "What!?" "I, Ye Chen..."


    On the side, Chu Chengfeng could no longer suppress the shock in his heart.


    No matter how heavy and old he was, he was unable to remain calm this time.


    This kid seemed to be without any reputation. In fact, he was an existence that kept people in the dark from beginning to end.


    No matter how much Lin Tao and Duanmu Lei mocked him earlier and how unfair the treatment they received was, they had only treated him indifferently.


    And that calm confidence came from his background and astonishing strength that suppressed everyone!


    With this kind of wisdom, this kind of strength, and this kind of boldness, even he, who had been in the business world for most of his life, was somewhat ashamed of himself!


    And all of this was happening to a young man who was not even twenty years old.


    "Uncle, like I said, Ye Chen is not such a simple person ¡­"


    Chu Yuling almost instantly smiled, and the helplessness on her face was instantly relieved. In fact, when she looked at the youth in the arena again, her admiration and adoration for him became even stronger.


    Such a talented youth had once again created a miracle in front of the young girl.


    Naturally, no one knew that the prescription that Ye Chen had given Lin Yutian at the auction had cured him of his old illness. He had invited countless masters, gone to many hospitals, and found countless doctors who were helpless against him.


    It could be said that he, Ye Chen, was Lin Yutian''s savior!


    How could such a person be so simple!


    Who had ever seen a youth that wasn''t even twenty yet possessing such a miraculous medical skill?


    He, Lin Yutian, no matter what angle he considered himself, the Ye Chen in front of him was someone he could not afford to offend!


    "Master Ye, my son was too rash. Please forgive me if I offend you."


    Lin Yutian quickly walked in front of Ye Chen, respectfully bowed to him, and then explained.


    This once again confirmed the identity of the youth, causing those who still had the slightest bit of doubt to completely give up on the last bit of thought to refute.


    "It''s fine. It''s just a small matter."


    Ye Chen looked extremely calm and collected. From the beginning to the end, his face had not changed at all.


    He just looked at the people in front of him indifferently, as if he didn''t care at all.


    "What are you staring at? Hurry up and apologize to Master Ye!"


    Director Lin turned around and looked at Lin Tao, who did not know what to do, but his face turned cold once again as he roared out fiercely.


    He did not want to offend this big shot of unknown origin because of some small matters.


    He was even willing to believe that with Ye Chen''s background, it would not be impossible for him to trip up their Lin Family.


    "Leaves..." Master Ye, I am sorry, I was wrong! "


    Lin Tao''s face was ashen, but he immediately became a bit timid.


    In front of his father, no matter what, he had to lower his head to Ye Chen.


    The current him did not dare to resist in the slightest, nor did he possess the slightest might from before.


    As for Chu Yuling, she didn''t dare to get involved.


    If it was a woman of Master Ye Chen, even if he was given a hundred guts, he would still not dare to court his own death.


    With Lin Tao lowering his head, the atmosphere in the arena instantly underwent a subtle change.


    Those rich kids, who had wanted to join in the ridicule on Ye Chen earlier, all shut their mouths obediently. Some of them even took a few steps back unconsciously.


    At this time, they were afraid that Ye Chen would come and cause trouble for them again.


    If this matter were to be investigated, no one would be in a good mood here.


    As for the masters of the Jadestone World, they could only look at each other and blankly stood to the side. Whether it was in terms of strength or status, this seemingly ordinary youth in front of them was an absolute bully to them.


    To dare to speak such words, it was no different from courting death.


    "Master Ye, this way please. I, Lin, have come late today. With these problems, I will definitely apologize to you."


    CEO Lin politely invited Ye Chen, as if he was his elder.


    The big shots of Yan Jing were so humble that it made some people dumbfounded.


    "There''s no need for that. Since Young Master Lin has already apologized, there''s no need for me to pursue this matter any further. However, there are still some people who haven''t settled their debts today!"


    Ye Chen''s sudden shout scared Duanmu Lei half to death, and he felt a chill down his spine.

 C82

    Seeing Boss Lin''s appearance and Lin Tao''s lowered head, Duanmu Lei, who was standing to the side, felt that something was wrong and was ready to leave.


    However, since he had already said so much, how could Ye Chen let this suicidal guy off so easily?!


    "Oh? Could it be that there are other people here who have offended Master Ye? "


    That Chief Lin''s expression immediately changed. Seeing that Ye Chen was not going to pursue Lin Tao anymore, he finally let out a sigh of relief.


    But in the end, he had still offended this master, and now, it seemed that he had a new opportunity to help Ye Chen vent his anger.


    Upon hearing Boss Lin''s voice, Duanmu Lei was so scared that his face turned deathly pale. Even his legs began to tremble slightly.


    One had to know that the Lin Clan''s influence and businesses were definitely top existences in Yan Jing. A first-rate clan like this would undoubtedly be a crushing defeat for a second-rate existence like the Duanmu Clan!


    "Forest..." Boss Lin, I was blind before and offended Master Ye. "


    Duanmu Lei suppressed the shock and fear in his heart and returned to the scene in front of him.


    No matter what, he was still the young master of a large clan. He had seen some big scenes before, so he wouldn''t be so scared that he couldn''t speak.


    However, the current him did not have the slightest bit of arrogance or haughtiness from before.


    With the Lin Family supporting him, Ye Chen was no longer someone he would easily mess with.


    However, when he thought of the ten pieces of top grade ore he had just boasted about, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by knives!


    That was at least ten million levels, for the Duanmu Family, it was definitely not a small amount. Giving it to Ye Chen just like that, after returning to the family, he, Duanmu Lei, would also not have a good ending!


    "But rules are rules. Even if Boss Lin is here, she wouldn''t be able to change the fact that Master Ye did not have an invitation, right? "As long as he''s not the Grandmaster that was invited here today, then the bet for this competition ¡­"


    Although Duanmu Lei had lost all confidence, the rules were laid out in front of him. He decided to use the last of his strength to struggle.


    Although Director Lin had the ability to back Ye Chen up, the Duanmu Family, who was also a participant in this year''s Jaded Artifact Assembly, was so weak that they did not even have the right to speak.


    At the very least, such a rule was generally accepted by everyone.


    "No matter how strong Master Ye is, he has come uninvited!"


    "That''s right. How can anyone directly participate in this Jade Artifact Assembly?"


    "Boss Lin, this rule must not be broken!"


    The group of people on the arena, who had long hated Ye Chen for his actions, wanted to take this opportunity to show their faces.


    Ye Chen had offended Master Gu, which meant he had offended half of the Jade Stone Realm.


    And, as long as Ye Chen was not worthy of that name, even if he picked the dragon jade today, he would still not be qualified to take it away.


    This was an existence that made this group of jade masters drool even more.


    "This ¡­"


    Director Lin showed some hesitation on his face. Being driven by Duanmu Lei, he was indeed unable to help Ye Chen get back what he was looking for today.


    Unconsciously, Duanmu Lei revealed a somewhat complacent expression.


    No matter what, even if Ye Chen won today, it would not do anything to him.


    He looked at Ye Chen with disdain and ridicule, as if saying, "You are just a piece of trash!"


    Without power and status, one would not be able to stand firm in this kind of place.


    Even if the Lin Family appeared, it would not do!


    "Who said that no one invited Master Ye? He was invited by my Su Clan!"


    Suddenly, a shout sounded out from the entrance to the hall once again, causing the atmosphere in the hall to freeze.


    Compared to the shock Ye Chen had brought them before, this time, everyone was stunned and a little numb.


    "Su Family? Old Man Su! Why is he here too! "


    Furthermore, Elder Su, who had just arrived, still addressed this seemingly ordinary young man as Master Ye!


    The Su Clan, that was an existence that did not move in Yan Jing and was comparable to a powerhouse of the Lin Clan. More importantly, the Su Clan was linked to one of the top four families in Jiangnan, the Ouyang Clan.


    Not only that, the identity behind Old Man Su was enough to cause all the large and small clans in Yan Jing to be wary of him!


    However, this kind of great man was also treating Ye Chen like a master!


    "What!?" "Elder Su!"


    Duanmu Lei only felt that his brain wasn''t working properly. In an instant, his face turned ashen.


    The Su Family was one of the main organizers of this year''s Jade Artifact Assembly. Even if Old Man Su wrote an invitation for Ye Chen, it would still be worth it.


    "This Ye Chen and Su Family ¡­"


    On the side, Chu Chengfeng was still staring at the situation. This time, he could no longer believe his own eyes.


    What kind of person was Elder Su? Even if they, the head of the Chu Family were to stand here, they would have to be courteous to him. But now, Old Man Su actually called the youth in front of him a master!


    "Yu Ling, you and this Master Ye ¡­"


    When Chu Chengfeng looked at his niece again, a strange expression appeared on his face.


    When he thought about how he treated Master Ye before, he felt that it was ridiculous!


    It was not that he, Ye Chen, was not worthy of the Chu Family, it was that the Chu Family was not even close to this master!


    "Young Master Duanmu, isn''t it time for you to fulfill the bet we made?"


    Ye Chen was still as calm as ever as he looked at Duanmu Lei who was like a dead dog.


    This time, even if he, Duanmu Lei, had 100 guts, he still wouldn''t dare to resist in the slightest!


    This Ye Chen was not someone he could mess with!


    "I, Duanmu Lei, admit defeat!" Master Ye, please! "


    Duanmu Lei used the last bit of his strength to spit out these words. His expression was even uglier than a dead rat after eating it.


    If he was given another chance, he would not dare to offend Ye Chen even if he had to touch the tiger''s butt.


    Because, this youth was absolutely someone he couldn''t offend!


    This bet had undoubtedly made his Duanmu family pay a huge price.


    Naturally, Ye Chen was not polite at all.


    As for the others, this time, they didn''t dare to say anything.


    Looking at the pieces of jade pieces that were worth millions or even tens of millions that were taken out from the ores that Ye Chen had picked out, some people were completely dumbfounded!


    As for the previous Great Master Gu, he had long been forgotten.


    There was no longer the status of that Grandmaster Gu here!


    In the Jadestone World, from today onwards, the name of Master Ye will spread throughout the entire Yan Jing city ¡­

 C83

    With the appearance of Elder Su and Lin Yutian, this time''s Jade Artifact Assembly was undoubtedly the best opportunity for Ye Chen to slap his face.


    The Duanmu Family had not only lost their reputation for this, they had also lost millions of their assets. This could be said to be a great pleasure.


    Inside the VIP room of the Jade Pavilion, Ye Chen was calmly sitting on the leather sofa, tasting the tea in the cup.


    On the table in front of him was a jade from the ten top grade raw stones that Duanmu Lei had obtained. There were three pieces of white wood jade, two pieces of purple crystal jade, as well as a dragon jade and several other rare jades.


    It could be said that this table of items was enough to make the entire auction world go crazy!


    A jade worth several hundred million wasn''t something that could be easily seen anywhere.


    However, what Ye Chen was concerned about was not the value of the book.


    These top-grade jades all contained some Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, which was greatly beneficial to his cultivation.


    Furthermore, it was not impossible to forge a Spirit Treasure like this.


    At that time, the value would probably not be as simple as just a few hundred million.


    "Master Ye has been waiting for a long time."


    While Ye Chen was trying to figure out how to handle the jade in front of him, the door of the VIP room slowly opened.


    After dealing with some of the trivial matters that happened during the meeting, Elder Su hurried over.


    After all, no matter what, he didn''t dare to slight the Master Ye before him.


    "Elder Su, you''re too courteous. Did you come this time to discuss something with me?"


    Ye Chen was also very polite. He had a good impression of Old Man Su, not to mention, the Su family had helped him a lot during this period of time.


    "I''ve come this time to discuss the matter of the antique street with Master Ye. Recently, the commotion has been stirred up because of that Master Yu from Jiangnan."


    Elder Su stroked his beard and explained unhurriedly.


    If Ye Chen had not been found out, he would not have dared to let this great god wait here.


    "Oh? Master Yu? Was it Master Yu who was rumored to be proficient in feng shui techniques and spirit artifacts? "


    Ye Chen was a little surprised, and a little curious.


    Previously, he was similar to Elder Su because of the so called Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Plate. Furthermore, that trash spirit weapon was personally appraised by the so called Master Yu.


    Ye Chen still remembered a little about this incident. Now that he had heard the news about Master Yu, he could not help but ask a few more questions.


    "Yes, I recently heard that Master Yu and his disciple will make a trip to Yan Jing. I heard that they brought a lot of spirit artifacts, antiques, and other things. With his influence, there''s also a small gathering there. I wonder if Master Ye is interested? "


    Old Man Su said directly. Ye Chen had asked the Su family to keep an eye on the ancient magical equipment.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t be in such a hurry to get here.


    "Since Master Yu is already here, let''s go and take a look. Maybe we can find some things we need."


    Ye Chen agreed nonchalantly. He also wanted to see how powerful this so-called Master Yu was.


    "Oh right, I still need Elder Su''s help to buy about a thousand pieces of high-quality jade, or some top-grade raw stones. They can be bought with jades above the Water Spirit Jade."


    Ye Chen suddenly changed the topic of conversation, turning to Elder Su.


    "Alright, I wonder how many jades Master Ye will need ¡­"


    Old Man Su could not help but be a little shocked. If Ye Chen asked him to help, it would be impossible to delay him, but, this would be useful ¡­


    "In the future, Elder Su will naturally know. Just buy it."


    Ye Chen waved his hand, he did not want to say anything more about it.


    Seeing Ye Chen like this, Elder Su naturally gave up on the idea of asking further.


    After bidding farewell to Old Man Su, Ye Chen went straight back to the Source Control Pavilion.


    As he sat cross-legged on his bed, he began to practice the Great Chaotic Art. As he felt the gradually filling true energy within his body, his expression did not relax by even a little.


    "Based on my current training speed, even if I rely on the tiny amount of Spiritual Energy within this jade, it would be difficult to breakthrough to the Late Mortal Realm Stage 2."


    Ye Chen could not help but slightly frown.


    On this earth, the spiritual energy was extremely sparse. To cultivate to the peak level once again, that was practically a fantasy.


    This cultivation speed was truly a little slow.


    "If I wait until the materials are complete and the time is ripe, once this Spirit Convergence Array is set up, it might be possible for my cultivation speed to increase by a few more levels ¡­"


    The Spirit Convergence Array was a type of Spiritual Array.


    Even if the Imperial Origin Pavilion was a treasure land of feng shui, its spiritual energy was much richer than other places. However, this alone was still far from enough.


    The Spirit Convergence Array was able to gather the Spiritual Aura from all directions and absorb the Spiritual Aura within a radius of several dozen miles from the Imperial Origin Pavilion. The effect was naturally not something that could be compared to the current situation.


    At that time, Ye Chen''s cultivation speed would also increase by leaps and bounds.


    In the other world, Ye Chen had once set up ten top rank spirit patterns in his training area.


    Such a formation did not only have the function of Spirit Gathering, it also had both offense and defense. If an ordinary person wanted to charge in, it would be even harder than ascending to the heavens.


    Once the array was activated, it would become the controller''s territory.


    "If we use this Dragon Jade as the core of the formation, then we''ll set up a Nine Dragons Formation."


    In Ye Chen''s mind, all kinds of spirit pattern arrays started flashing. With the experience and cultivation level from other worlds, the only difficulty for him to set up the arrays now was to use the raw materials.


    One had to know that the materials needed for the high-grade formations were all well-known for their treasures.


    And now, it was even more difficult for him to get his hands on these things.


    This was also why the Su Clan had to pay attention to things like spirit artifacts.


    If he could come across some rare items, he could easily obtain the materials on the spot.


    However, from the looks of it now, the chances of that happening were extremely small ¡­

 C84

    A few days later, when Ye Chen woke up from his training, his cultivation had finally reached the bottleneck of the Mortal Realm Stage 3.


    As for the rest of the breakthroughs, all he needed was an opportunity.


    However, if he were to rely on normal cultivation, the spiritual energy on Earth would be so thin that it would take at least half a year.


    The gathering near the antique street that Old Man Su had arranged for would be here soon, so Ye Chen naturally hurried over.


    The first reason was because he wanted to see the reality of Master Yu. Of course, the most important reason was still to find the things he needed.


    "Big brother Ye Chen, long time no see!"


    In Old Man Su''s car, Su Xue''er, who wore a short white skirt and had a cute ponytail, was laughing brilliantly.


    Ever since the last time at the Ouyang family, when Ye Chen was willing to speak up for Su Xue''er, the relationship between the little girl and him had undoubtedly become more intimate.


    With Ye Chen''s improved Su Family''s mental cultivation method and the help of the martial skill he had left behind, Su Xue''er''s improvement was definitely a huge leap forward.


    Even the genius of the Su Clan before, Su Zi Ning, could only look on helplessly.


    Knowing the young girl''s care and the relationship between the two of them, Elder Su naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity. That was why he brought Su Xue''er along this time when he was going out.


    "Xue''er, you should be more obedient."


    Seeing Su Xue''er in the back seat pulling on Ye Chen''s clothes, Old Man Su could not help but remind her.


    "It''s fine. Elder Su, please tell me some news about Master Yu."


    Ye Chen did not seem to mind at all. He patted the little girl''s head and turned back to Elder Su.


    Seeing that, Elder Su no longer said anything for his granddaughter''s rudeness.


    As long as he did not offend Ye Chen, that was good enough.


    "That Master Yu is a famous Spirit Treasure and feng shui master in the Jiangnan generation. He is extremely proficient in both of these aspects and could be said to have a great reputation in the Jiangnan generation. "It''s said that this Master Yu also belongs to a hidden force in Jiangnan, the Ghost sect."


    "Fallen Spirits Sect?"


    Ye Chen could not help but ask. He had never heard of this power before.


    "Yes, they are extremely mysterious regarding this sect. Even our Su family doesn''t know much about it. They only know that their power is not simple and their methods are hidden and sinister. An ordinary family wouldn''t dare to offend someone like this."


    Elder Su explained slowly. A few ripples also appeared on his originally calm face.


    It was obvious that there was still a trace of fear towards this so called Ghost sect.


    "Hidden forces? That would be interesting. "


    Hearing Old Man Su''s words, Ye Chen only sighed, he became even more interested.


    Naturally, he was not afraid of the so-called Ghost sect. It was just that this mysterious existence might have some tricks up its sleeves. He was just a bit curious about it.


    In next to no time, the speeding Land Rover stopped, and it followed Old Man Su and the others to their destination.


    Within a luxurious welcoming tower situated at the side of the antique street. Looking at the bustling crowd at the entrance and the rows and rows of black clothed guards standing inside, one could guess that Master Yu did indeed have some fame since he had arrived here today.


    "We''re here, this is the place."


    Elder Su welcomed Ye Chen into the top-level box that he had reserved earlier, and sat down after a few minutes.


    This was a circular hall, and in the middle of it was the exhibition hall for this time. Speaking of it, it was quite similar to the auction house that Ye Chen had been to before, only, it was much smaller.


    "Next, we will display this year''s exhibit and wait for the auction to begin in sequence. Everyone, you have to watch carefully."


    The moment Ye Chen sat down, the host in the middle of the arena started to announce the results.


    He then took out the items and placed them on the center of the stage in an orderly fashion.


    "These exhibits were personally appraised by Master Yu himself. A few of them were even personally crafted by Master Yu himself. Everyone can feel free to bid for them!"


    Almost at the same moment the host finished speaking, the originally not very spacious arena began to boil.


    The first one here is a top-grade water wood jade mined from the Nine Dragons Mountain. It has been refined and refined by Master Yu himself. This kind of spiritual tool has defensive properties and can withstand a full-powered strike from a grandmaster!


    The host on the stage picked up the first piece of jade that was about the size of a thumb. To be more precise, it was a spirit weapon. He began to excitedly introduce it.


    With Master Yu''s fame, the value of this kind of jade could almost be increased by more than ten times after the spirit weapon was forged.


    "This water wood jade is crystal clear and is surrounded by water vapor. It really does have some standard of spirit jade!"


    "To think that there would actually be such a high rank creature in this world. It is truly a blessing to be able to meet one today!"


    "As expected of Master Yu. Such a piece of jade can be carved to such a level!"


    The people below the stage who had studied spirit artifacts to a certain degree were naturally full of praise for the Water Wood Jade that Master Yu had created.


    A treasure of this level was indeed something that most people would find difficult to come across in their entire lives.


    When they heard these people''s comments, those people who did not know anything about the field of spiritual tools naturally cheered even more loudly.


    If this treasure could be auctioned off, it would definitely be something that could give him an extra life!


    "One million!"


    "2 million!"


    "4 million!"


    "..."


    In an instant, the sounds of bids being raised rose and fell.


    And the value of such a water wood jade would rise directly to the level of ten million.


    Seeing this fiery hot atmosphere, even Old Su, who was seated at the side within the private room, was slightly moved.


    As a martial artist, he clearly understood how terrifying a strike from a master is. If he could carry such a jade with him, he would definitely be able to pick up his life at a critical moment.


    Moreover, this was the first time in a long time that he''d heard of such a strange defensive spirit weapon.


    "Master Ye, just watch..."


    Elder Su was just about to ask Ye Chen for his opinion, but Su Xue''er, who was standing beside him, started shouting excitedly.


    "Big brother Ye Chen, I want a jade like this!"


    The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes, with a big smile on her face. She was even pulling on Ye Chen''s sleeves, looking really cute.


    Clearly, this crystal clear aqua blue jade stone had an endless attraction for this little girl.


    Ye Chen glanced at the Water Wood Jade, but he was not interested in it at all.


    The jade bracelet that he gave to Liu Yingying previously was one type of defensive spiritual equipment, but compared to the other type spiritual tools, this water wood jade was just like a typical piece of trash!

 C85

    "If Xue''er likes it, I''ll personally forge a few true defensive spiritual tools for you. As for this so-called Water Wood Jade, it''s just trash!"


    Not only did it make Su Xue''er lose her interest in the jade, it also made Old Man Su, who was on the side, swallow his words when he was about to offer a price.


    He had always trusted Ye Chen the most.


    After all, this young man was not only a heaven-shocking genius in terms of cultivation, cultivation, jade, appraising treasures, and medical skills.


    At least, ever since this young man had appeared in Yan Jing, he had experienced the terrifying strength and abilities of this young man.


    However, Ye Chen''s voice was not loud. Old Man Su and Xue''er had not only heard it, all the other so-called masters had also heard it.


    "Where did this brat come from? He actually dares to say that the things personally crafted by Master Yu are trash?"


    "You must be f * cking joking. In this kind of arena, you still dare to disgrace Master Yu?"


    "This kid looks really unfamiliar. Doesn''t he look like someone who knows how to use spiritual weapons?"


    The insults and insults from the surroundings quickly reached the youth''s ears.


    The atmosphere within this small auction ground also underwent a slight change because of this.


    The place was not that big, so Ye Chen''s one sentence was immediately spread to everyone. Soon, many people ridiculed and looked at the teenager with disdain.


    How could they let off someone who dared to destroy Master Yu''s reputation so easily?


    "Brat, you said that Master Yu''s Water Wood Jade is trash, then tell me, what qualifications do you have to stand here and judge Master Yu''s spirit weapon?"


    The middle-aged host could not help but frown.


    Because of Ye Chen''s sarcastic and rejecting words, the auction this time round could not go on as smoothly as before.


    This would naturally reduce his income by quite a bit. When Master Yu''s side blamed him, he wouldn''t be able to take on this responsibility.


    "That''s right, you f * cking stood up if you had the ability. This Shui Mu Yu is obviously a high grade spirit artifact. You brat, you still dare to quibble here and insult Master Yu''s reputation!"


    Another master spirit treasure master stood up, and angrily scolded Ye Chen.


    It had to be known that Master Yu was practically a top-notch existence in their line of work. Naturally, everyone believed him. Now that such a nameless kid had suddenly appeared and dared to insult Master Yu, these followers naturally couldn''t bear to watch any longer.


    "Regardless of the texture or the Spiritual Energy within, this Water Wood Jade definitely meets the criteria of a Spirit Treasure. It is a rare treasure that only appears once in a hundred years. How could a junior like you comment on it?"


    "With your seniority, even if you studied spiritual tools in your mother''s womb, it would only take a little more than ten years. Compared to people like us who have spent most of our lives in the world of spiritual weapons, you''re nothing! Compared to Master Yu, you are nothing! "


    "Speaking of trash, why do I feel like you are the real trash!"


    The so-called masters were filled with righteous indignation.


    With just a few words, Ye Chen had already become a worthless piece of trash.


    In this kind of situation, if one had no proof, no power, no reputation, and dared to taunt Master Yu''s spirit weapon as trash, that would truly be courting death!


    "Master Ye, this..."


    Even someone as calm as Elder Su could not sit still after being scolded in such a manner and met with the counterattack from over half of the world spiritists.


    Su Xue''er, who was at the side, also pulled down her small face and clenched her small fists. Her pink little face was filled with indignation.


    Under this kind of situation, even the people walking together with Ye Chen could not stand it any longer. However, Ye Chen still looked as calm as water, not showing any sign of being disturbed at all.


    "Water Wood Jade is considered to be a middle tier piece of jade within the jade. However, its water vapor and wood properties are relatively weak, and its texture itself can''t be considered rigid. It''s originally an ornamental jade and can be easily carved, but as a spirit artifact, it''s just garbage! "


    "As for the water wood jade, its spirit imprints are incomplete, its texture is inferior, and its spirit energy is scattered and not gathered. Let alone the totem, even calling it a totem is sullying this word!"


    "..."


    Ye Chen slowly said. His words seemed to make a lot of sense.


    That self-confidence that came from the bottom of his heart and that faint domineering aura that no one else could compare to deterred the entire audience.


    This caused the so-called masters, who were trying to force each other, to turn silent.


    Because, it was not that they did not want to refute Ye Chen, but they could not find any reason to refute him!


    "You!"


    The middle-aged host was angered to the point that his face turned green!


    He didn''t know where this little brat had come from, but he actually had this kind of ability. If this continued, then the auction that was going to take place today would truly be a waste.


    "Oh? It looks like I, Yu, still need to see your younger generation''s evaluation when I''m in the world of spirit weapons? Who the hell do you think you are, daring to spout nonsense here! "


    Just as the host in the arena was feeling somewhat troubled over this matter, a cold voice suddenly rang out, immediately breaking the deadlock in the arena.


    He saw a black-clothed old man with a strange expression and wrinkles all over his face standing out from a VIP box.


    Staring at Ye Chen who was still sitting there calmly, his cold eyes were filled with disdain and ridicule.


    With his fame, how could he be afraid of such a reckless junior?


    With his crutch in one hand, he slowly walked onto the field, picked up the water wood jade spirit artifact, and slowly injected his spirit energy into it.


    The azure jade suddenly began to radiate brightly.


    That layer of faint aqua blue screen of light poured out from the jade stone, blocking in front of Master Yu. It was as if it was solid, continuous and indestructible.


    In the instant this barrier appeared, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations that erupted out made some of the Spirit Treasure masters present become incomparably shocked!


    "This jade can actually turn Spiritual Energy into substance!" This is definitely a function of a high quality spirit artifact! "


    A cry of surprise suddenly rang out, causing the other people present to explode into an uproar.


    To some people, let alone personally witnessing such a bizarre scene, it was absolutely unheard-of.


    "As expected of Master Yu. It''s worth it to be able to see the master himself today!"


    "Master Yu is the authority of the Jiangnan generation''s spirit artifact world. How could this sort of brat provoke him?"


    "Exactly, Master Yu already stood out. Let''s see how he can continue acting!"


    Hearing the praises from all around, Master Yu was even more arrogant, as if he had instantly floated into the sky.


    He looked at Ye Chen with disdain, and spoke in a condescending tone, as if he was a master in his own world.


    "Kid, didn''t you say that this Water Wood Jade is fake? If you have the guts, come and try it! "

 C86

    Master Yu could be said to be incomparably arrogant as he stood on the stage.


    In his eyes, the current Ye Chen was just like an ant, not worth mentioning at all. This kind of junior should naturally be taught a lesson.


    Ye Chen did not answer, he didn''t even get up, he just looked at Master Yu calmly.


    In their eyes, Ye Chen was nothing, but as for him, how could he possibly think much about that so-called Master Yu?


    Seeing that Ye Chen did not react, the host sneered.


    This kind of boastful martial artist wouldn''t dare to act rashly in front of Master Yu. This kind of person didn''t even have the qualifications to stay here!


    "Since you''re unwilling to appear and disrespectful to Master Yu, how dare you disturb the gathering? Security, throw this kid out!"


    The host shouted and ordered the security who was already on standby.


    What they were waiting for was to send this brat out like throwing trash!


    "Master Ye ¡­"


    Elder Su could not sit still any longer. Even if he had some face here, it was still Master Yu. After all, if he had offended such a big boss, even if he had some face, Ye Chen would not let him off.


    Being forced to act so recklessly, both Elder Su and Su Xue''er could not stand it any longer. How could he, Ye Chen, continue to endure?


    "So noisy!"


    All of a sudden, Ye Chen let out a cold shout. On his palm, Zhen Qi started to circulate.


    In that instant, an invisible palm of true energy condensed and formed on his palm. As it swung out through the air, it seemed to have the ability to cut through the air as it whistled towards Master Yu in front of him!


    The wild and violent aura that erupted in that moment caused the atmosphere to freeze!


    "What!"


    Master Yu, who was still laughing out loud, froze the moment Ye Chen made his move.


    This was because he could feel that the terrifying energy fluctuation, which could tear through space, was ruthlessly slamming into the light blue Spiritual Energy light screen.


    "Hua!"


    Crack! * The sound of something shattering drifted over. The indestructible blue screen completely disintegrated under the young man''s palm.


    Not to mention resisting, it was basically useless.


    Even Master Yu, who was standing behind, was knocked back by the force of the palm strike and fell onto the stage.


    "This ¡­"


    At this moment, not only Master Yu, but the people below the stage were also dumbfounded!


    The so called Waterwood Jade, which could withstand the full attack of a grandmaster, exploded with a loud bang. And the one who attacked was actually the inconspicuous youth from before? It was just a casual palm strike?


    Did he f * cking see a ghost?


    Not only them, Elder Su and Su Xue''er, who were sitting behind the young man, were also stunned.


    They knew that Ye Chen had quite a bit of skill in the martial arts, but now, with his palm across the air, it was completely unheard-of!


    Su Xue''er was looking at Ye Chen with stars shining in her eyes.


    With such an amazing older brother teaching him, he would no longer have to worry about his future progress.


    It wouldn''t be long before she, Su Xue''er, would be able to reach the peak of the Su Clan''s younger generation!


    "It''s too flashy. This so-called spiritual weapon of yours can block a strike from a master. Dream on!"


    Ye Chen stood up, and his reply echoed in the air.


    However, the crowd didn''t dare to be arrogant this time. Some of them even stared at the boy, unconsciously taking a few steps back.


    Previously, he had mocked and ridiculed this youth, and this was absolutely slapping him hard in the face.


    Master Yu, who was gradually coming back to his senses, felt the strange looks coming from all around him. There was a burning pain on his face, as if someone had slapped him a few times.


    He was a great spirit artifact master of the Jiangnan generation. Regardless of whether it was in terms of his attainments in spirit artifacts or his Feng Shui techniques, he was an existence of absolute authority.


    It was just that his skills were not good enough, and he would occasionally come up with a few half-finished products to create a rumor.


    Who would have thought that they would meet a real grand master in such a small place like Yan Jing!


    The astonishment and shock on his face was immediately suppressed. What replaced it was a fury that came from the bottom of his heart!


    He dared to insult the reputation of his Master Yu, how could he let this go!


    "Brat, even if you have some ability, compared to me, you are still nothing!"


    Master Yu forced himself to keep his face straight, and shouted at Ye Chen who was standing in front of him.


    At the same time, a black jar the size of a fist appeared in his hand.


    The shape of the jar was extremely strange. It was not big either. However, there seemed to be countless black holes densely packed on its surface.


    If one were to carefully inspect it, one would discover that the wall of the tank was filled with dense engravings.


    The traces of blood-red engravings seemed to be carved from fresh blood.


    From such a distance, one could sense a ghastly aura within. In fact, one could even hear faint cries of pain.


    "Next, I''ll show you the true abilities of my Ghost sect!" I will also let you know the consequences of offending my Master Yu! "


    The wrinkles on Master Yu''s face suddenly trembled under the black robe.


    Inside the black jar in his hand, a black qi swirled around. It was spreading wildly in all directions with explosive power.


    Those people who were nearby began to step back repeatedly. In fact, they even started to scream.


    The terrifying black air gave one the feeling of palpitation. One could faintly see the flickering of countless hideous human skeletons within it.


    "This is the Ghost sect''s Ghost Controlling technique!"


    Elder Su''s expression changed drastically as shock surged through his heart.


    The reason why the Fallen Spirits Sect had such a name was definitely not just an empty rumor.


    It was said that they could control three souls and six souls, learn the art of controlling ghosts, and control the souls of many people.


    Such a ruthless and vicious method was absolutely frightening.


    No matter how capable Ye Chen was, he would definitely die if Master Yu of the Fallen Spirits Sect attacked!


    The crowd was thrown into chaos in an instant. Those who were near Master Yu all rushed in all directions as if they had gone mad. At this kind of occasion, no one wanted to be implicated by this nameless youth!


    If he hadn''t angered Master Yu, how could he have ended up in such a situation?


    "Ye Chen, run! Master Yu''s ability to control ghosts is quite terrifying. If an ordinary person were to hit it, they would definitely die!"


    Old Man Su exclaimed in shock, because the human figure with a skull shaped from the black air was already charging towards the direction of the youth in the field.


    Those sinister faces and all kinds of painful and terrifying groans could be heard incessantly.


    Within the black Qi that permeated the sky, it was just like the night walk of a hundred ghosts!


    "Hahaha, little brat, you dare to provoke my Ghost sect, this is your fate!"


    Master Yu''s face contorted. That incomparably sinister, wild laughter resounded through the entire audience ¡­

 C87

    Elder Su and Su Xue''er were both somewhat aghast as they felt the waves of cold and gloomy black Qi pouncing towards them.


    Such a terrifying method was absolutely terrifying.


    Inside the black Qi, the human form of the skull became even more ferocious and eerie, as if it had opened its mouth and was trying to swallow Ye Chen whole.


    "So what if you''re controlling ghosts!"


    The young man shouted as the true energy within his body surged.


    An illusory golden palm-print gradually took shape on his right hand. At this moment, the first form of the Tai Yi Primal Chaos Formula that he had practiced, the Tai Yi Palm, finally came in handy for the first time.


    The golden palm print shone with a dazzling brilliance. At the same time, that energy fluctuation, which was not the slightest bit inferior to the black gas in front of him, instantly erupted.


    With the extreme yang attribute of Ye Chen''s Nine Yang Saint Body, he was almost the absolute nemesis of all these evil creatures.


    In addition to the assistance of the first form of the Tai Yi Primal Chaos Formula, breaking this move of the so-called Master Yu in front of him was as easy as flipping his hand!


    "Break for me!"


    The moment the golden palm landed, the malevolent skull in front of him instantly collapsed.


    As the giant golden hand grasped down, the dark clouds condensed into a black ball, rapidly dashing towards the jar in Master Yu''s hands. There was no longer any trace of the mighty presence from before.


    "What!"


    Feeling the violent energy from the golden palm in front of him, Master Yu''s smile froze.


    What replaced it was shock and fear that came from the bottom of his heart!


    Under this palm, no ghosts could be seen!


    "Hua!"


    The area that the golden palm landed on was a mess, and Master Yu was sent flying like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily into the wall before coming to a stop.


    Without knowing when, Ye Chen had already appeared, standing in the middle of the field, staring at Master Yu who was lying on the ground like a dead dog not far away from him.


    At this moment, there was dead silence!


    Master Jiang Nan Yu, who was known for his ability to control ghosts and determine life and death with a single move, was actually slapped to the ground by the seemingly ordinary youth before him after using their Yin Ghost Sect''s famous ultimate skill!


    Even if everyone present had not seen this news with their own eyes, they would not have believed it, let alone heard it!


    Some people even began to constantly rub their eyes, unable to believe the astonishing scene in front of them.


    This was f * cking subverting everyone''s view of the world!


    "This... "How is this possible ¡­"


    The sound of people sucking in cold air could be heard again and again. Those who had mocked Ye Chen earlier felt a chill down their spines!


    Judging from the strength that the youth had displayed, beating them to death was as easy as slapping them to death!


    The host was so scared that his face turned pale and his legs trembled.


    Recalling how Ye Chen had shouted at him earlier, he felt a sense of fear.


    How could they afford to offend someone of this level?


    Not to mention them, even Elder Su and Su Xue''er, who knew Ye Chen well, were standing still in their original spot.


    Just a moment ago, he was still feeling sorry for Ye Chen. Such a genius had actually died under the hands of Master Yu.


    But now he realized that all of this was just him overthinking it!


    How could a mere Master Yu be a match for Ye Chen? He turned his hand and threw out a palm attack without any sign of ghosts!


    "Big brother Ye Chen is so powerful ¡­"


    Su Xue''er was screaming excitedly for Ye Chen''s victory.


    Fortunately, this kind of great god, the Su Clan, had not been offended by him. Otherwise, the one who would be struck here with a single palm might have been their Su Clan.


    The grudge between Ye Chen and Old Man Su would definitely be avenged.


    "Looks like Master Ye''s strength has improved again. The future accomplishments in the future are not something that our Su Clan can achieve ¡­"


    Elder Su could not help but sigh inwardly. His admiration towards the young man increased even further.


    "Master Yu, this Ghost Turtle of yours is quite interesting. Leaving it in your hands would only harm countless people and kill innocent people. I won''t be polite and accept it for you."


    Ye Chen, who was in the arena, was staring at Master Yu who was slowly coming back to his senses, playing with that weird jar with one hand.


    However, on top of the Ghost Pot, there was a layer of faint golden light surrounding it. All of the black Qi inside the pot was being refined by Ye Chen.


    This kind of Yin energy, as long as it could be absorbed by the Nine Yang Saint Body, it would be the best supplement for Ye Chen right now.


    It would also help him to break through the bottleneck of the cultivation realm.


    "No, master, I have spent half my life on that Ghost Pot. I hope ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    Ye Chen raised his hand and threw out a palm attack. A loud and clear sound of the slap spread across the whole area.


    Master Yu, who had just gotten up, flipped over and once again lay on the ground like a dead dog.


    The side of his face had swelled up even more, and he no longer had the slightest expression on his face from before.


    "Spend half a lifetime''s effort? From what I see, your Ghost sect has stolen the souls of countless innocent people, and thinks so highly of human life. Yet, you dare to step out in such a dignified manner.


    Ye Chen yelled out angrily. His dark eyes flashed with a cold light.


    Inside the Ghost Pot were the ghosts of some innocent people. They were being nurtured by the disciples of the Ghost sect and used for their own purposes.


    Speaking of which, these ruthless methods were something the heaven and earth could not tolerate! There were too many of them!


    After all, he was a member of the Ghost sect, and was also a famous master in Jiangnan. Yet, today, he was being taught a lesson by a young man like a dead dog.


    "You dare attack me, aren''t you afraid of the Ghost sect taking revenge? As long as Fallen Spirits Sect knows about this, you will definitely die! "


    Master Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood as he warned fiercely.


    Bringing out the power of the Ghost sect was his last trump card.


    Hearing those words, even Elder Su''s expression changed.


    Even though the Fallen Spirits Sect had committed a heinous crime, their power was not something that an ordinary person could match!


    "Ye ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    Without waiting for Old Man Su''s warning, Ye Chen raised his hand and threw out another palm attack. This palm attack was not aimed at Master Yu''s vital points at all.


    A cloud of black fog spread around Master Yu''s body. Moments later, the originally skinny and hideous looking Master Yu actually turned into a pile of eerie white bones!


    From then on, there would never be the existence of Master Jiang Nan Yu in this world!


    "So what if you''re from Fallen Spirits Sect? People like you deserve to die! "

 C88

    After he had taken care of the so-called Master Yu of the Fallen Spirits Sect, Ye Chen did not have any interest in this so-called gathering anymore.


    Although Master Yu had two tricks up his sleeve, being able to refine these half-finished spiritual tools, and even had one or two low-rank spiritual tools, in the eyes of the current Ye Chen, these were just trash!


    Of course, this did not mean that he did not reap any rewards this time. The Ghost Pot was the biggest treasure this time around.


    The Yin Qi contained within the Ghost Pot was definitely a tonic for the Nine Yang Saint Body to absorb. The vengeful spirits within it would be able to be used by him if he were to slightly refine them.


    Possessing a body and soul; this method might be cruel and terrifying, but it still depended on who used it.


    If it was only for personal gain and if it was for the sake of wealth and murder, the Ghost Pot was certainly the source of evil.


    If he used this as a way to eliminate evil and punish good, then this Ghost Preserving Pot would be a powerful weapon to exterminate evil.


    "With a little refining of this Ghost Pot, it will still be of some use in the future."


    A youth sat cross-legged on a bed within the Imperial Origin Pavilion. He couldn''t help but mumble as he looked at the pitch-black jar in front of him.


    Right now, what he needed the most were some absolute assistance and cultivation resources.


    Besides the Nine Dragons Formation in the Origin Controlling Pavilion, refining the Ghost Pot could also be considered another method.


    As the teenager sat down with his legs crossed, the natural powers around him were like streams of water flowing towards Ye Chen. The black jar in front of him was also floating in the air, a bunch of black qi was gathering in Ye Chen''s palms.


    To the others, this Yin energy was definitely a kind of poison gas that only came once in a million miles. But to Ye Chen, it was the complete opposite.


    In this environment where the spiritual qi in the world was so thin, using this mutated spiritual qi to train was undoubtedly a shortcut for Ye Chen.


    As the Spiritual Aura endlessly gushed in like a whirlpool, the true energy that was originally condensed within the youth''s Dantian also became denser bit by bit.


    A faint layer of golden light enveloped the surface of the youngster''s skin. Faintly, there were traces of lightning pulses.


    This was the perfect combination of the Nine Yang Saint Body and the few strands of Gold Core Origin Lightning in his Dantian.


    With every jump of this golden light and thunder light, Ye Chen''s body seemed to be strengthened.


    He washed his bones and refined his muscles and bones again and again.


    One could even hear the crackling sounds in the room.


    "This is great! The third level has loosened up a little, and the second form of the Tai Yi Primal Chaos Formula has begun to gain some momentum ¡­"


    Ye Chen''s heart was filled with joy.


    He had been stuck at the peak of the Late Mortal Realm Stage 2 for half a month.


    However, no progress or breakthroughs have been made.


    As for the Tai Yi Primal Chaos Formula, it had been stuck at the first level. After learning the Tai Yi Palm, it had not improved at all.


    Now that he felt a little bit more relaxed, it was undoubtedly the opportunity for his strength to once again soar.


    As he felt the gradual expansion of his meridians and the continuous circulation of true energy within his body, the distance between him and the breakthrough bottleneck grew closer and closer.


    "Refine for me!"


    All of a sudden, Ye Chen moved his hand to the side and a golden light gradually enveloped the Ghost Pot. The black qi inside was instantly enveloped by the light.


    The cold yin power inside it, under the fierce refinement of the teenager, had turned into a stream of power, gathering in Ye Chen''s Dantian.


    "Crack crack!"


    As faint sounds rang out, cracks gradually spread on the surface of the Ghost Pot.


    Under this move of Ye Chen''s, even if this Ghost Pot was a top-grade spiritual weapon in the sect, it would still not be able to escape from being completely refined.


    "Boom!"


    Finally, as the Yin Energy within was completely refined, the dark black jar was suspended in the air and directly turned into a pile of broken fragments.


    A black sphere of light slowly floated in the air.


    Under Ye Chen''s continuous absorption, the black mist and impurities slowly dissipated, and gradually became pure and transparent.


    When the last bit of black Qi was absorbed by the youth, the ball of light instantly exploded.


    A bunch of illusions appeared and floated in the air.


    It was about the size of a human and had many balls of light. One could even vaguely see the skeletons and hideous faces within. The difference from Master Yu''s ghost controlling technique was that these phantoms'' bodies were covered in a faint layer of golden light.


    If one were to look from afar, it would appear as if one was wrapped within a golden glow. The gloomy and terrifying feeling from before had completely disappeared.


    "Thank you for your kindness, Master. We have been trapped in the Ghost sect''s Ghost Pot and have been nurtured to this day with resentment and Baleful Yin Force. If we were to use them, we would have already suffered a fate worse than death." Now that I have been purified by Master, I will be able to see the light of day again. "


    Without waiting for Ye Chen to say anything, that golden light shadow had already started to kneel down in front of Ye Chen.


    Without Ye Chen''s help, these souls would forever be just tools for others to use.


    Ye Chen absorbed the Yin energy and resentful aura inside, and with his own Qi, he could now achieve the same effect.


    "I was an elder of the Myriad Sword Sect and was a cultivator at the Profound realm. I controlled a force, but unfortunately, I fell into the hands of the Ghost sect and became an evil spirit. That''s why I ended up like this."


    A shadow floated up to Ye Chen, half-kneeling in the air, and said that to him.


    "Even a Profound realm master died in the hands of the Ghost sect?"


    Ye Chen could not help but sigh. This Ghost sect was not as simple as it looked.


    Even if Master Yu was full of those, he was not even half a Profound Realm, or even had no knowledge of the Profound Realm.


    But even so, he had still become a master teacher of Jiangnan and, in the name of the Fallen Spirits Sect, was trying to swindle others.


    "I am a Paragon from another world, and have been reborn to walk the path of the peak. If you all are willing to follow me, then I can protect my spirit soul and take revenge on the Ghost sect!"


    With Ye Chen''s command, all the shadows in the light ball seemed to have responded together.


    "There is no way to repay the grace of a Grandmaster!"


    Numerous echoes reverberated within the room.


    After absorbing these spirit souls, if he were to meet such a soul devourer again in the future, it would undoubtedly be the best trump card.


    What Ye Chen knew about the art of controlling ghosts was hundreds of times better than that of the so-called Ghost sect.
