At this moment, an extremely terrifying killing intent surged from within Ye Lin'Er, causing the surrounding temperature to suddenly drop as if winter had arrived.

She stared intently at Ye Chen, her gaze as cold as ice, as if wanting to see through all the secrets he held.

She had originally thought that after she took away Ye Chen's bloodline, he would be a complete cripple for life, never to rise again.

But now, in just over a month, Ye Chen underwent a transformation, from a useless person unable to even truss a chicken, into a freak capable of even defeating Liu Feng.

This had clearly completely gone beyond Ye Lin'Er's control.

"If I'd known it would come to this, I should have killed this waste right from the start." Ye Lin'Er felt a deep regret in her heart.

Although Ye Chen's current strength was not yet enough to pose a threat to her, who knew how much he would grow in the future?

If she didn't quickly nip Ye Chen in the bud, Ye Lin'Er would surely be unable to eat or sleep in peace.

After all, she had taken Ye Chen's bloodline and tried repeatedly to kill him. Once Ye Chen grew strong, he certainly wouldn't let her go.

"I've already gradually integrated the Phoenix Race bloodline into my body, there's simply no need to fear this waste. Even if his physical body possesses the Power of a Hundred Tigers, so what? Such strength is nothing but a joke in front of me." Ye Lin'Er's expression gradually calmed down as she coldly thought to herself.

Currently, not only had she upgraded her bloodline to a Profound Level Second Grade, but her cultivation had also advanced rapidly, stepping into the Third Layer of the Gang Qi Realm.

In addition, she possessed a triple Qi Sea Foundation, with Gang Qi content enough to rival a Qi Dao Master of the Ninth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm, and she was confident she could defeat even a Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm master.

Thus, there was absolutely no need for her to fear this waste Ye Chen.

"Junior Sister Lin'Er, I have a way to make this waste disappear completely from this world; it's just uncertain if he has the courage to accept my challenge." At this moment, a sinister smile crossed Duanmu Jie's lips, with terrifying killing intent flickering in his eyes.

"What way?" Ye Lin'Er was full of curiosity.

"In our Celestial Flame Academy, there has always been a Life and Death Battle Platform. No matter what grudges students have, they can resolve them completely on this platform. If this waste dares to accept my challenge, I can definitely crush him easily." Duanmu Jie sneered, his tone filled with utter disdain.

Needless to say, his current cultivation was much stronger than it was half a month ago, having stepped into the Second Layer of the Gang Qi Realm.

Moreover, he had a triple Qi Sea Foundation, so the Gang Qi in his body could rival that of a Qi Dao Master of the Sixth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm. Crushing Ye Chen now would be no different from stepping on an ant.

If Ye Chen really dared to accept his challenge and step onto the Life and Death Battle Platform to fight him to the death, he was absolutely confident that he could ensure Ye Chen's demise with no place for burial.

The only fear was that this waste Ye Chen simply wouldn't have the guts.

"The Life and Death Battle Platform, I understand now, but this waste surely won't accept your challenge so easily." Ye Lin'Er slightly furrowed her brow.

As a Seed Student of the Celestial Flame Academy, she had naturally heard of the Life and Death Battle Platform.

This platform had existed since the founding of the Celestial Flame Academy, specifically for students of the academy to resolve personal grudges.

Once the Life and Death Contract was signed, and the platform was ascended, a life-and-death outcome must be determined.

Moreover, if one side's strength was insufficient and they were killed by the opponent, the other party bore no responsibility.

Even the deceased's family couldn't seek revenge on the opponent; otherwise, they would definitely face strict punishment from the Celestial Flame Academy.

Therefore, no one would lightly step onto the Life and Death Battle Platform unless the situation was dire.

Only when there was an irreconcilable enmity between them would they resort to it.

"Ha! Isn't it true that this waste's foster father and foster mother have already been captured by the Golden Dragon Guard of our Duanmu Family? If I were to torture them to death, do you think this waste would accept my challenge?" Duanmu Jie couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh, his expression extremely cruel, sending chills down one's spine.

"I see, this method would indeed thoroughly enrage Ye Chen." Ye Lin'Er nodded, a cold smile flashing on her lips as well.

She had grown up with Ye Chen and naturally knew how much he cherished his foster father and foster mother.

If Duanmu Jie really sent people to torture Ye Chen's foster father and foster mother to death, it would definitely make Ye Chen lose all reason.

At that time, he would most likely accept Duanmu Jie's challenge.

"Foster father, foster mother, I have already advanced to the top eight, and soon, I will be able to rescue you." At this moment, Ye Chen was unaware of Duanmu Jie's sinister plot; he clenched his fist and thought to himself.

He believed that with the potential he had now shown, he would surely gain Ouyang Zhong's recognition.

If Ouyang Zhong wanted to recruit him into their War King Hall, he would naturally use two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts to ransom his foster father and foster mother from the Golden Dragon Guard.

However, Ye Chen was still worried about his foster father and foster mother.

After all, before he can rescue his adoptive father and mother, anything could happen.

"Damn it, this useless man actually defeated Liu Feng, how is this possible?" In the sky above the Zodiac Battle Platform, Duanmu Hui's face turned paler than a dead man, as if he had eaten a pile of dead flies.

He had devised a plan, arranging Liu Feng as Ye Chen's opponent, with the intention of using Liu Feng to defeat Ye Chen, preventing him from advancing to the top eight.

But now, Liu Feng was instead eliminated by Ye Chen.

It seems Liu Feng is perhaps the first in history to awaken a Profound Bloodline and yet fail to reach the top eight as a genius.

From now on, he will become the laughingstock of the entire Royal Capital, the topic of idle chatter for others.

And the culprit behind all this is none other than Duanmu Hui.

Now Liu Feng surely despises him and might even seek revenge in the future.

Just thinking about it makes Duanmu Hui's scalp tingle with fear.

"It's all this damned useless man's fault, making me offend Liu Feng; with such humiliation, he'll surely hate my guts." Duanmu Hui thought angrily.

Although Liu Feng's current power is still weak, far inferior to Duanmu Hui,

he has awakened a Profound Bloodline, with limitless potential in the future, almost certain to step into the Celestial Spirit Realm, becoming a Qi Dao Master.

By then, Liu Feng seeking revenge on him and his descendants would be easy.

And all this is caused by Ye Chen.

"Duanmu Hui, you old thing, I'm suffering this disgraceful humiliation thanks to you; just wait, one day I will make you regret your actions," Liu Feng glared viciously at Duanmu Hui in the sky, gritting his teeth in hatred.

He, the awakened genius of a Profound Bloodline, couldn't even enter the top eight of the freshmen competition.

What could be more humiliating than this?

Therefore, he will never let Duanmu Hui, the instigator, get away with it, even if the opponent is an Outer Elder of Celestial Flame Academy; he will make him pay a painful price.

"Old thing, in the face of absolute power, tricks are useless. I want to see who else you'll arrange to be my opponent." Ye Chen glanced coldly at Duanmu Hui, a trace of mockery flashing across his lips.

He has resolved to claim first place in this freshmen competition.

No matter who Duanmu Hui arranges as his opponent, he will defeat them all, even if it's Duanmu Xiong or Lin Zixuan.

"Damn it, Liu Feng surely resents me; it seems risky to arrange Lin Zixuan to face Ye Chen in the next round. If even Lin Zixuan is defeated by that wretched kid, I'll offend yet another person," said Duanmu Hui, his face dark and brooding.

Arranging Lin Zixuan as Ye Chen's opponent in the next round might eliminate Ye Chen, stopping him from reaching the top four.

However, if Lin Zixuan accidentally loses to Ye Chen, then she'll blame Duanmu Hui like Liu Feng did.

Thus, he doesn't have the courage to do it anymore.

"I didn't expect Liu Feng to be defeated by someone who can't even awaken his bloodline, such a huge irony!" At this moment, the Fifth Princess of the Celestial Flame Dynasty, Lin Zixuan, stared intensely at Ye Chen, her brows furrowing.

All along, she never considered Ye Chen to be significant, merely thinking his physical strength was formidable.

But now, Liu Feng, who awakened a Profound Bloodline just like her, lost to Ye Chen.

This outcome completely overturned her expectations.

Even she felt a hint of threat from Ye Chen at this moment.

"Hehe, hahaha! Liu Feng, you are utterly useless, losing to someone who can't even awaken a bloodline; how will you ever face us again?" Not far from Lin Zixuan, Duanmu Xiong couldn't help but laugh aloud, his tone brimming with ridicule as if he'd witnessed the most absurd thing in the world.

"Damn it, Duanmu Xiong, shut up! I lost to him because I was careless." Liu Feng's expression turned dark and angry, announcing.

"Liu Feng, stop making excuses for yourself; a loss is a loss. But don't worry, if I encounter that useless man, I will certainly avenge you." Duanmu Xiong sneered, looking at Ye Chen as though he were a lamb destined for slaughter.

Although Ye Chen's physical body can unleash the Power of a Hundred Tigers, far beyond normal imagination,

how could he possibly compete with Duanmu Xiong, a genius with awakened Profound Level Sixth Grade bloodline?

They are simply not on the same level.
