"Yao Xi wins!"

  "Li Xiaoyao wins!"

  "Kong Xiangbei wins!"

  "Lin Feng wins!"

  "......"

  Battles between cultivators are often numerous.

  Especially now, with the competition narrowing from one hundred to fifty.

  The skill gap between disciples is significant.

  Determining the winner is naturally quicker.

  Before long, it was Ye Chen's turn.

  As soon as Ye Chen stepped onto the stage, he immediately drew everyone's attention.

  Not many elders were present today; the peak masters and sect master were absent.

  Their time is precious and they only watch on the final day.

  However, Ye Chen's reputation was too big.

  Known as the most useless direct disciple and a devoted lick spirit.

  Everyone was curious about Ye Chen's true strength.

  If he couldn't even make it to the top fifty out of a hundred.

  That would be truly embarrassing.

  On the stage, Elder Chen shook his head.

  Before the sect's grand competition, he had already suggested to the sect master about expelling Ye Chen.

  The sect master said to wait and see Ye Chen's performance.

  But based on Ye Chen's performance, he likely wouldn't even st until the final day.

  So being expelled from the sect was almost certain.

  Unless Ye Chen could make it to the top ten.

  But how could that be possible?

  Li Xiaoyao and others who harbored malice towards Ye Chen were also watching coldly.

  They anticipated that Ye Chen, the most useless direct disciple, would be eliminated in the first match by an unknown outer disciple.

  This would surely make Ye Chen the biggest joke of the sect.

  ......

  Amidst the attention of countless people.

  The match officially began.

  Ye Tian didn't hold back, immediately raising his hand, and dozens of ice bdes appeared behind him, shooting fiercely towards Ye Chen.

  His starting speed was very fast, and the ice bdes were extremely thin and sharp.

  Most importantly, there were ten ice bdes at once, and the activation speed was extremely fast.

  It was evident that Ye Tian had a very good grasp of the ice bde technique.

  Some disciples even maliciously thought.

  Could Ye Chen not even block this move?

  However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

  Ye Chen casually raised his hand and pointed a finger.

  A semicircur barrier appeared at his fingertip, easily blocking all the ice bdes.

  The next moment, the scene was in an uproar.

  Ye Tian was stunned by the uproar, wasn't it just that his ice bde technique was blocked?

  Was it really that surprising to the audience?

  How useless was his cousin for everyone to have such low expectations?

  But before Ye Tian could figure it out, he felt a gust of wind beside him.

  When Ye Tian turned his head, he was horrified to find a giant palm had appeared beside him at some point.

  What kind of magic was this?

  When did it appear, and why was there no sound?

  Ye Tian had no time to dodge, only managing to activate a defensive spell, hoping to withstand it.

  But the moment the defensive shield touched the giant palm, it exploded directly.

  The giant palm, without any dey, spped Ye Tian.

  Ye Tian was like a fly, directly spped away, crashing heavily against the barrier at the edge of the stage.

  His whole body was in severe pain, unable to get up.

  The scene was silent.

  Everyone waiting to see Ye Chen's joke was filled with surprise and doubt.

  Did Ye Chen just win?

  What kind of magic was this?

  How had they never seen it before?

  Most importantly, when Ye Chen cast the spell, the flow of spiritual energy surprised most people to discover that Ye Chen was also at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.

  When did Ye Chen break through?

  Wasn't Ye Chen supposed to have third-grade spiritual roots?

  How many pills did he have to consume to break through twice in a year?

  People were puzzled and greatly shocked.

  Some even began to suspect if this was a fixed match.

  ......

  After Ye Chen left the stage.

  The news of the lick spirit direct disciple defeating his opponent and advancing to the next round spread quickly.

  However, along with it came rumors of match-fixing.

  Some disciples confidently confirmed that Ye Tian and Ye Chen were cousins, both disciples of the Ye family in Qingyun City.

  Others said they saw the two whispering before the match started.

  Some of Ye Tian's friends even cimed that Ye Tian admitted he deliberately lost to Ye Chen for the sake of the family, asking them not to spread it.

  With the parties involved admitting it, everyone naturally believed it was true.

  They could even understand why Ye Chen would fix the match.

  After all, Ye Chen was a direct disciple, and losing in the first match would be too humiliating.

  And Ye Tian, being just an ordinary disciple, sacrificing himself for the long-term interests of the family by losing to Ye Chen seemed reasonable.

  Many disciples who had been eliminated were drawn in.

  They all pnned to watch the match in the afternoon, where fifty would be reduced to twenty-five, to see how miserably this direct disciple would be beaten by his opponent.

  ......

  Ye Chen was, of course, aware of the rumors outside.

  But such a thing as false fame, without any benefit, Ye Chen naturally didn't care.

  However, although he didn't care about false fame.

  Ye Chen would never deliberately py dumb.

  When there are benefits, he would definitely show his strength.

  But Ye Tian, taking advantage of the situation to spread rumors and elevate himself.

  Made Ye Chen a bit annoyed.

  If he had known, he wouldn't have held back earlier.

  Just you wait.

  ......

  Chatting casually with Yao Xi.

  Time quickly moved to the afternoon.

  The afternoon was the round of fifty to twenty-five.

  When Ye Chen saw his opponent's name, he raised an eyebrow.

  Kong Xiangbei!

  The name sounded familiar.

  But he couldn't recall it at the moment.

  However, Ye Chen didn't pay much attention.

  After all, to him, it didn't matter who it was!

  Soon.

  It was Ye Chen's turn to take the stage again.

  Ye Chen's matches were noticeably more lively than those of other disciples.

  At least a thousand people were watching.

  He was truly the top stream of Qingyun Sect.

  And when Ye Chen saw his opponent's appearance, he frowned slightly.

  The opponent was a bit chubby.

  Most importantly.

  The opponent even sent a voice transmission.

  "Ye, the direct disciple, today I finally have the chance to settle the score for stealing the female cultivator I had my eyes on."

  Stealing your female cultivator?

  Ye Chen looked puzzled.

  It wasn't that Ye Chen wanted to say he hadn't done it.

  Mainly, he didn't know which female cultivator the opponent was referring to.

  Could it be a pursuer of Yao Xi?

  Ye Chen's expression made Kong Xiangbei even angrier.

  You stole my female cultivator, and now you look confused when you see me.

  What does that mean? It means the other party didn't take him seriously at all.

  Didn't even recognize him.

  Too much, really too much.

  His cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining for too long.

  He had his eyes on Sun Ruoxin's body, pnning to make her a cauldron to break through.

  Originally, using the Qingyun Sect disciple quota as a lure, along with the pressure from his father's elder status, he could easily manipute Sun Ruoxin and her father.

  But it was Ye Chen, this devoted lick spirit.

  Who gave the Ye family's Qingyun Token to Sun Ruoxin, causing the duck that was almost in his mouth to fly away.

  His cultivation had been stuck, unable to find an opportunity to break through.

  In the cultivation world, stealing women might not be considered a deep hatred.

  But blocking one's path was definitely a matter of life and death.

  Most importantly, Ye Chen did such a despicable thing, yet didn't even know him.

  The lick spirit truly deserved to die!

  "Ye Chen, today I'll beat you half to death first!"

  "And Sun Ruoxin, does she think that by becoming a disciple of Qingyun Sect, I can't do anything to her?"

  "What is mine will eventually be mine!"

  "You, who will never break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, just wait and see how I deal with you in the future!"

  Kong Xiangbei was a smart person, and all these words were transmitted through voice.

  And when Ye Chen heard this, he understood.

  This person was the son of Elder Kong.

  To be honest, regarding Sun Ruoxin.

  Ye Chen indeed didn't have much interest.

  Her multiplier wasn't great, just those long legs were something.

  Whether to have her or not didn't really matter.

  But since Kong Xiangbei wanted her so badly.

  Now Ye Chen was interested...
