In recent years, Ouyang Zhong has put in a lot of effort to revive the War King Hall, even risking entering the Canglan Mountain Range to slay Tier Three Demon Beasts in exchange for Spirit Stones, to maintain the normal operation of the War King Hall.

But Ouyang Yi, upon succeeding the position of Grand Elder, directly claimed all of the wealth that Ouyang Zhong left in the treasury for himself, leaving not even a single Spirit Stone for his daughter.

This behavior is truly outrageous.

"Ye Chen, I have some savings over the years, and I have a top-quality Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, worth as much as two million Ordinary Spirit Stones. I can sell it to exchange for Spirit Stones for you. Whatever you need, you can tell me, and I will certainly try to help you." Ouyang Xue gazed at Ye Chen, speaking to him softly.

With her father's passing, Ye Chen has become her greatest support in this world.

As for many of her relatives in the Ouyang Family, they even fall far short compared to Ye Chen.

For example, Ouyang Yi, who never cared about Ouyang Xue, only concerned about his own interests.

"Teacher Ouyang, I also have some Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts on me, a million Spirit Stones is not a problem at all. Once I become the new Hall Master of the War King Hall, I won't have to worry about Spirit Stones, then I'll definitely make that old thing Ouyang Yi get lost." Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart, feeling even more pity for Ouyang Xue.

When his adoptive father and mother were captured by the Golden Dragon Guard of the Duanmu Family, it was Ouyang Xue who stepped forward to help him.

Now, it is his turn to protect Ouyang Xue.

"By the way, Palace Master, I think it's better to select the Chief Disciple of War King Hall soon. This generation's Chief Disciple of the War King Hall has a Body Refining Talent that is too poor, unable to pass the Hall Master's test. You can't just let him occupy this position forever." At this moment, Duanmu Ying suddenly proposed.

"Duanmu junior sister speaks reasonably, then let's hold a competition in three days. Anyone who resides in the War King Hall can participate, and the one who wins first place can assume the position of Chief Disciple." The Celestial Flame Peak Master nodded and said.

"Palace Master, what about our students from the War King Hall? Can they not participate?" Ouyang Xue's brows furrowed tightly.

"Hmph! Ouyang Xue, don't you even have a shred of self-awareness? Your War King Hall students are all trash and useless, what qualifications do you have to compete with us for the position of Chief Disciple?" Zi Xuan, the seed student from Profound Sword Peak, couldn't help but sneer, his mouth full of mockery.

"Zi Xuan is right, even if we let the students from War King Hall compete, they would only bring humiliation upon themselves. The Palace Master is doing this for your own good, you should appreciate the favor." Ning Hongye, the seed student of Celestial Flame Peak, said disdainfully with her head held high.

She truly looked down on the students of War King Hall.

After all, in these years, War King Hall has completely declined, even before Ye Chen appeared, not even a single seed student was born.

To find someone among this motley group whose strength could rival theirs is simply wishful thinking.

As for Ye Chen, although he has become a seed student of War King Hall, his cultivation hasn't even stepped into the Gang Qi Realm. Forget competing with them for Chief Disciple, he doesn't even qualify to tie their shoes.

"Hmph! Don't push people too far, don't forget, this is War King Hall. According to the rules of War King Hall, as long as they are seed student candidates, they have the qualification to compete for Chief Disciple. And I am already a seed student of War King Hall. I will definitely participate in the competition three days later." Ye Chen's cold voice suddenly reverberated in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.

"Haha, with just you, this waste? You also want to compete with us for Chief Disciple, who gave you the courage to do this?" Zi Xuan couldn't help but laugh loudly, looking at Ye Chen as if looking at a pitiful jumping clown.

"An overconfident fool, do you really think that defeating Duanmu Jie means you can compete with us? Let me tell you, you don't even qualify to tie our shoes, I advise you to give up early, so you don't humiliate yourself." Chen Bai, the grandson of Soul Palace Master, said mocking Ye Chen.

"A mere waste who can't even awaken his bloodline also dares to compete with us for the position of Chief Disciple, you should first weigh your own worth!" Ning Hongye looked at Ye Chen with extreme disdain, her eyes full of contempt like a high and mighty goddess mocking a humble ant.

She has seen many arrogant people.

But, it's her first time seeing someone as overconfident as Ye Chen.

She really can't understand where Ye Chen gets his confidence to compete with them, the old trio of seed students, for Chief Disciple.

In terms of cultivation, they are many realms above Ye Chen, able to crush Ye Chen with just a lift of their hands.

In terms of bloodline, they are even something Ye Chen, this waste, could never achieve.

So, just how foolish and ignorant is Ye Chen to think he can compete with these three?

"In three days, all three of you come at me, I don't want to waste time on this pack of cats and dogs." Faced with the mocking from Ning Hongye's trio, Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile and he said with an aggressive tone.

"Rude."

"Arrogant."

"What shameless bragging." Students from the three major factions stood frozen in place, some couldn't believe their ears.

Immediately, they all couldn't help but start cursing.

In their eyes, Ye Chen must have lost his mind, daring to challenge Ning Hongye and these three veteran seed students alone.

Who gave him the courage to do this?

"Ha! Ye Chen, your boastful demeanor is truly disgusting! If your intention was to infuriate me, you have undoubtedly succeeded." Zi Xuan's handsome face instantly turned extremely somber, and a terrifying murderous intent shot out from his eyes.

"You ignorant fool, since you're so eager to die, I'll gladly oblige. Three days from now at the tournament, I'll make sure you regret ever being born." Chen Bai fixed his gaze on Ye Chen, speaking with an icy tone, as though looking at a dead man.

Ye Chen's words were undoubtedly a great humiliation to them.

If they didn't show Ye Chen a thing or two, they couldn't swallow that breath of indignation.

"Dealing with this kind of trash would only dirty my hands. When the time comes, I'll let you two handle him." Ning Hongye's expression looked calm, but deep within her eyes, an almost imperceptible hint of murderous intent flashed by.

A mere waste who couldn't even awaken his bloodline dared to refer to her, a high and mighty seed student, as nothing more than a cat or dog.

To her, this was a humiliation that could never be washed away in her lifetime.

If it weren't for Zi Xuan and Chen Bai eager to take care of Ye Chen, she would certainly deal with him herself, making Ye Chen pay a bitter price for his stupidity.

"Humph! Ye Chen is doomed this time."

"Three days from now at the tournament, if this trash dares to show up, he'll have no place to be buried. No one has ever dared to speak to Senior Brother Zi Xuan in such a disrespectful manner."

"Such an arrogant fool truly deserves to die," the students from the three factions sneered.

"Ye Chen, why are you so impulsive? The strength of these three is considerably more formidable than Duanmu Jie. If you truly oppose them, they will undoubtedly strike you down mercilessly." Ouyang Xue's eyes showed deep concern.

"Just give me three days, and I will surely crush them." Ye Chen's expression was filled with immense confidence.

"No, you mustn't participate in the tournament three days from now. Your current cultivation is too weak. Wait until your strength becomes greater before challenging them," Ouyang Xue promptly stopped him.

She truly hoped Ye Chen wouldn't die on impulse at the hands of Zi Xuan and the others.

After all, three days from now at the tournament, there are no real rules. If Ye Chen were killed, no one would seek justice for him.

"Teacher Ouyang, please trust me this time. I'm going to the Divine Cauldron Alliance now to exchange for spirit stones." Ye Chen said with firm resolve.

If it were three or four days ago, he would really have no confidence in defeating Zi Xuan and the three veteran seed students.

But now, his cultivation not only broke through to the Gang Qi Realm but is also about to coalesce two new Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns.

Not only the three of them, but even some Qi Dao Grandmasters in the Celestial Spirit Realm, he had confidence to defeat.

So, this time, he absolutely wouldn't back down.

He must become the Chief Disciple of the War King Hall, and quickly pass the Battle King Hall Master's trial.

Only then could he truly gain a foothold within the War King Hall.

You should know, the status of the Battle King Hall Master was not something someone like Ouyang Zhong, the Grand Elder, could compare to. Not only could he sit equally with the Celestial Flame Peak Master, but he's also under the protection of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Neither the Celestial Flame Peak Master nor Duanmu Ying would dare to openly act against the Battle King Hall Master, otherwise they would suffer the punishment of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

"Ye Chen, it's not that I don't believe in you, but the gap between you and Zi Xuan and the others is truly too large. Ah! But, since you insist so much, I won't stop you! After the tournament, I want to enter the Canglan Mountain Range to find my father. Even if he's truly dead, I still want to find his body and bury him." At these words, Ouyang Xue couldn't help but cry, looking extremely sorrowful.

"Teacher Ouyang, let me take you back to rest first." Ye Chen couldn't help but embrace Ouyang Xue's shoulder, leading her away from the Elder Hall.

"Zi Xuan, for the tournament three days from now, you don't need to spare Ye Chen, that worthless fool. Even if you truly kill him, I will ensure your safety, understood?" Watching Ye Chen's departing figure, Duanmu Ying's eyes sparked with terrifying cold radiance as she transmitted her voice to Zi Xuan.

"Yes, Peak Master, I won't let you down," Zi Xuan's lips curled into a sinister smile, chilling to the bone.

He was well aware that Duanmu Ying had been holding a deep grudge over Duanmu Jie's death, eager to tear Ye Chen to pieces.

So, this time, if he could discreetly eliminate Ye Chen during the tournament, Duanmu Ying would certainly be very pleased.
