As Ye Chen's momentum erupted, the plaza in front of the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy main hall was seemingly enveloped by countless swords. The invisible, fierce edge made the light shatter, especially the ground beneath Ye Chen's feet, cracking open with 'ka-cha ka-cha' sounds!

Master Fatty and the other two couldn't help but step back a bit.

"This freakish growth is terrifying. Fighting him, I doubt Master Fatty could even withstand three moves!" Fatty muttered.

He had recently improved quite a bit after his grandfather took him back to the Luofeng Martial Arts Academy for some training, and had become a Tier Four Earth Seal Spirit Master. He originally thought that even if he couldn't match Ye Chen, he could at least close the gap a bit.

Now it seems, no chance.

The gap is only getting bigger.

Ouyang Xiaoling couldn't help but say, "Last time in the Demon Suppression Valley, I saw him in action. It's only been half a month, but his strength has at least doubled."

Qu Xiao didn't say anything, feeling a bit nervous, one hand retreating into her sleeve.

In the distance.

Dean Ouyang Shang of the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, along with Vice Dean He Dong, were both paying attention to the battle about to unfold in the plaza.

He Dong expressed some concern, saying, "Dean Ouyang, shouldn't we intervene?"

Ouyang Shang said, "Sun Siming has been brooding over past events, almost developing a heart demon. Originally, he wasn't supposed to go. But if we stop him, it will cause bigger issues.

Moreover, from certain aspects, he is indeed the most suitable candidate to participate in the Fengyun competition, given that he has stepped into the Mortal Transformation Realm and has already participated in two Fengyun competitions, making him quite experienced.

Since we allowed him to go, he needs someone to restrain him, and that can only be Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen can make him submit, it'll make things much easier moving forward."

He Dong wore a worried expression, saying, "Even though Ye Chen is extraordinarily talented, the Mortal Transformation Realm is a whole different plane... Previously, he could gain some advantage against the elder from the Qin Family because she was careless.

I'm just worried that if Ye Chen can't restrain Sun Siming, he might also develop some mental blockage, which would be troublesome."

"He Dong, you're underestimating him," Ouyang Shang said with a smile, "Even if Ye Chen can't restrain Sun Siming, his mental state won't be affected. This kid has constantly walked the edge of death and has a tenacious character. Something like this can't break him.

Moreover, he has improved significantly recently. Even though the Mortal Transformation Realm is a different plane, he might still win the battle.

Don't forget, he's never let us down and has always surprised us!"

He Dong fell silent for a moment, then said, "Dean, I still don't quite understand why you and Elder Yang would send him to the Capital City... Isn't it like sending him into a den of dragons and tigers..."

"Going through more experiences is for the best. Also, by sending him there, he will naturally be protected. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it's also time to let the world see Cangxing Martial Arts Academy's stance!"

After hearing Ouyang Shang's words, He Dong seemed to understand a lot, and his expression became even more solemn.

Cangxing Martial Arts Academy wanted to show its stance to the whole world.

This meant that Cangxing Martial Arts Academy was ready to face a storm!

......

On the plaza, as Ye Chen's momentum soared, Sun Siming's momentum also erupted without reservation!

Ye Chen's momentum was like a magnificent divine sword, shining with cold light upon the world.

Sun Siming's momentum, however, was aggressive, insane, and obsessive.

Even before the two had truly exchanged blows, the clash of momentum already made the surrounding air seem to boil, with gusts of strong wind sweeping through.

"Ye Chen, it's begun!"

Sun Siming shouted in a low voice, taking a step forward.

"Boom!"

The ground shattered, and Sun Siming's body charged toward Ye Chen. The long spear in his hand thrust forward, the tip bursting with dazzling, cold light!

Ye Chen neither dodged nor avoided, responding with a straight thrust of his sword!

"Ding!"

A crisp sound rang out as the sword tip collided with the gun tip, unleashing a terrifying wave of air that swept in all directions.

Sun Siming's long spear abruptly recoiled, then swept out horizontally, carrying the grandeur capable of sweeping through thousands of troops, striking fiercely at Ye Chen's chest and abdomen.

A flash of golden light appeared beneath Ye Chen's feet, and the Heaven-Ascending Step was deployed, instantly positioning him at another location, as he swung his sword at Sun Siming.

Spirit and martial arts as one!

The integration of Spiritual Power, sword essence, and Qi Blood reached a fusion rate of fifty percent.

Wave Stacking Might!

Four layers of strength stacking.

The Five Elements Sword Intent swirled, the Geng Metal Sword Intent manifesting!

Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword.

In an instant, Ye Chen unleashed his power to the extreme, already accustomed to this method of combat with ease.

Sun Siming had heard of Ye Chen's incredible speed, but hadn't expected it to be this fast. His face turned pale as he quickly pulled back the long spear that had swept out, positioning it horizontally in front of Ye Chen's impending strike.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion sounded.

Sun Siming managed to block Ye Chen's strike, but his body was driven deep into the ground.

Ye Chen prepared to seize the moment to attack.

Suddenly, a drastic change occurred!

A violent power burst forth from Sun Siming, who was embedded in the ground. Ye Chen immediately switched from attack to defense, gripping his sword with both hands, stabbing fiercely into the ground.

Earth Extreme Dragon Sword!

The shattered earth and stones rolled violently, converging into an earthen dragon circling around Ye Chen.

Sun Siming shot up from the ground, his long spear once again stabbing toward Ye Chen.

A large array of spear shadows appeared, like a torrential downpour.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The earthen dragon coiling around Ye Chen's body took a fierce hit, exploding continuously.

Sun Siming's attacks continued in waves, relentless like the tide.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, and in the next moment, he slashed out, the battered earthen dragon breaking out with his strike.

Sun Siming grasped his long spear with both hands and shattered the earthen dragon.

The terrifying shockwave sent both of their figures retreating violently.

At this moment.

The aura around Ye Chen fluctuated intensely.

While Sun Siming had blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, his expression only grew more crazed and obsessive!

Sun Siming raised his right hand, wiping away the blood at his mouth, his expression icy, saying, "The next move is one I've comprehended over the past three years. I named it 'Road to No Retreat!'"

Upon saying this, Sun Siming's obsessive and frenzied aura shifted once more, a look of determination appearing on his face.

Then, with a cry from his mouth, his body and long spear merged, explosively shooting toward Ye Chen.

"Rumble!"

The very space twisted and resounded with booming vibrations.

This move of Sun Siming's, called 'Road to No Retreat,'

left no retreat for the opponent, nor any for himself!

Facing this move of Sun Siming, Ye Chen instinctively felt that this was an unavoidable move, with only one solution: to forcefully break it!

With a thought.

The combined power of spirit and martial arts poured out from Ye Chen's body frantically.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Crisp sounds of sword-mirth echoed from all directions.

Light was like swords.

Airflow was like swords.

Dust was like swords.

Everything around Ye Chen transformed into swords.

He stood like the emperor of swords, embraced by countless blades.

Dense Sword Qi emerged, floating around Ye Chen, all pointing towards Sun Siming!

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Ancestor!"

Ye Chen shouted too, slashing out with his sword!

All the Sword Qi around him followed, whistling outward.

Sounds akin to a tsunami erupted.

All Sword Qi converged into the Celestial Mark Sword, transforming into a hundred-meter giant sword, striking the forward-thrusting, mountain-like spear!

In that instant.

Everything seemed to quiet down!
