Ding!

After a crisp sound.

Ding! Ding!

Two more crisp sounds echoed from the ground.

Ye Xin's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the dart cut in two on the ground!

The cut was clean, as if slicing through tofu, with a swift, decisive motion, without the slightest delay.

This... how is it possible!

You must know, this high-strength alloy is far harder than aerospace materials!

Due to its inability to be mass-produced, creating these dagger darts has already been an expensive endeavor.

But how... how could it be cut by this dagger in Yang Chen's hand, a product of folk craftsmanship folding steel technique?

Ye Xin felt incredulous.

This was too unreasonable.

Seeing Ye Xin's surprised expression, Yang Chen waved the dagger in his hand with some pride and said with a smile, "This dagger is made from meteor iron. You know, after drifting in space for a long time and undergoing friction, when a meteor enters the atmosphere, it undergoes intense friction and finally hits the ground. It's very pure and very hard. Creating this kind of dagger is the best! A lot of effort was spent in making it back then!"

"Meteor iron?" Ye Xin shook her head while staring at the dagger.

She understood meteorites; many have unique textures, but that doesn't mean they are exceptionally hard. For example, iron meteorites are fundamentally still iron.

Ye Xin felt this was no ordinary iron meteorite.

Ye Xin glanced at the dagger in Yang Chen's hand and reached out to put away everything on the table.

Since Yang Chen had a handy weapon, she was relieved.

Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin and softly said, "Thank you, Xinxin, but your safety reassures me more. This is my battle; you don't need to get involved!"

He had seen it from the start; Ye Xin was in full combat attire.

But today is the battle between him and Shangyao, and it has nothing to do with Ye Xin.

Ye Xin's outfit, in fact, made Yang Chen uneasy.

"I understand!" Ye Xin lowered her head and continued packing her things.

But Yang Chen remained concerned.

He could tell, Ye Xin was ready for a fight today.

"Xinxin, don't worry, I am confident in defeating Shangyao," Yang Chen said.

He thought Ye Xin was worried he wouldn't win.

"I know." Ye Xin finished packing her things, looked at Yang Chen, and said, "I prepared these just in case!"

Yang Chen sighed, knowing Ye Xin was still overly worried.

He glanced at the time, it was 8:30.

Yang Chen said, "Let's head out!"

Ye Xin took a deep breath, nodded, reached out to button her coat, hiding her fiery figure.

"Let's go!" Ye Xin said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Ye Xin's face was cold, her eyes sharp, like a proud black swan; sexy, fierce, confident, and elegant!

The previous worries, sadness, sorrows... all disappeared at this moment. The only things left were confidence and fighting spirit!

Yang Chen was the same, like an unsheathed sword, sharp, impossible to look at directly, filled with fierce momentum!

This is what battle is about.

Before going to the battlefield, you can be tender, worry all you want, fear all you like... but! Once on the battlefield, you must exude a winning aura!

Otherwise, you've already lost before even stepping onto the battlefield!

The two walked out of the room and into the high-end residential area, where the car was waiting.

They got in, and the car started immediately.

The street was already empty, and the car moved smoothly without any obstacles.

In the car, Yang Chen asked, "Where's Yanyan?"

Ye Xin replied, "At home."

"She doesn't know, right?"

Ye Xin shook her head.

"That's good!" Yang Chen nodded, looking ahead.

Ye Xin sneaked a glance at Yang Chen, a trace of concern flashing in her eyes.

The Ye family was not far from the Flame Palace, and they arrived shortly after.

When they arrived, Elder Ye and Ye Liangcai immediately came out to greet them.

"Xinxin! Xiaoyang!" Elder Ye looked at the two and said.

"Grandpa!"

"Master Ye!"

Elder Ye nodded, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Are you both ready?"

"Ready!" Yang Chen said in a deep voice.

Elder Ye took a deep look at Yang Chen and said seriously, "Then... I'll leave it to you today!"

"Rest assured, sir!" Yang Chen said, "I will not let anyone take Xinxin away from me!"

"Mm!" Elder Ye nodded deeply.

Ye Liangcai moved closer, staring at Yang Chen and said, "Xiaoyang... I don't know what to say. What I can tell you now is please definitely defeat them and protect Ye Xin! Perhaps in this lifetime, I have no abilities, unable to even protect my own daughter. But she's the person you love most, so please, make sure to protect her! As long as you protect Xinxin... I will fully support whatever the two of you decide, no one can oppose!"

With that, Ye Liangcai glanced at Elder Ye.

Elder Ye remained silent for a while.

Yang Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Rest assured, I will definitely keep Xinxin safe! You have raised Xinxin, consider that mission accomplished. Leave the future tasks to me with peace of mind!"

Ye Liangcai nodded deeply and said to Yang Chen, "Please!"

Hearing this, Ye Xin's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said, "Look at you all speaking like this isn't a big deal, okay? Yang Chen will win, right!"

With that, Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen, her eyes full of hope.

Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin, nodded, and smiled, "Yes! I will definitely win!"

Just then, someone came running over and said, "Leader, they have arrived!"

Several people turned to look in the direction of the entrance.

Soon, a group of people walked towards them.

Quickly, a group of eleven people approached.

Yang Chen noticed that the few people he had injured were now fully recovered!

In just one day, they were fully healed?

Yang Chen couldn't help but admire their recovery ability and treatment methods.

Shangyao looked at Yang Chen, scrutinizing him up and down, and asked, "Are you ready? I look forward to battling with you!"

Yang Chen nodded and said, "I've been waiting for this moment!"

Upon hearing this, Shangyao looked up at the sky and said, "Don't rush, the time is not right yet!"

Having said that, Shangyao walked into the main gate.

The other ten people followed him inside.

Elder Ye glanced and said to a few others, "Let's go in too!"

Yang Chen nodded, taking Ye Xin's hand, and entered the midday gate.

The highest point in the Flame Palace is above the midday gate.

The rooftop of the midday gate is the battlefield.

After everyone arrived at the midday gate tower, they were still a great distance from the rooftop, but Elder Ye already had a ladder prepared for them to climb up.

Shangyao glanced at the ladder and chuckled softly, "At such a height, why use a ladder!"

With that, Shangyao pushed off with his foot, soaring several meters into the air, and with one force, stood steadily on the left side of the roof.

Yang Chen glanced at it, let out a cold laugh, and said to everyone, "Watch from a distance later, don't stand here!"

Yang Chen worried that debris and tiles might fall on them during the fight.

Ye Xin nodded and said seriously, "I understand, be careful!"

Yang Chen tenderly glanced at Ye Xin and said softly, "Wait for me to come back!"

With that, Yang Chen pushed off with his foot, flying up onto the roof.

The two stood apart, facing each other from afar.
