Ye Chen did not leave the room.

But not long after, Qu Xiao rushed in angrily, gritting her teeth, "Ye Chen, is what that damned Fatty doing outside something you agreed to?"

Ye Chen looked at Qu Xiao with an innocent face.

Qu Xiao was fuming with anger, "That damned Fatty set up a table at the entrance, he's sitting there collecting Primordial Stones, saying that you can accept multiple challenges, but after the first match, anyone who wants to challenge you has to pay five hundred lower-grade Primordial Stones each time."

"Let him be."

Ye Chen smiled wryly.

After all, if Fatty didn't do it, he would still be challenged.

Fame is fickle, it has its pros and cons.

Ye Chen knew that he was very famous now, and those who came to participate in this grand martial arts competition were all geniuses from various martial arts academies, all proud and arrogant. It's normal for them to not accept him.

Moreover, defeating him holds a different meaning for these geniuses; it's like stepping over him to rise to prominence!

Aside from that.

There must be some who are here on orders with impure motives.

Since they came, Ye Chen didn't plan to hide; however many challenges there are, he will accept them.

His original intention in coming to the Capital City for this grand martial arts competition was to compete with the prodigies from various martial arts academies!

If Fatty wants to make some Primordial Stones, let him, after all, it's an eighty-twenty split…

At this moment.

Sun Siming and Ouyang Xiaoling also came to Ye Chen's room.

After the previous battle at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy with Ye Chen, Sun Siming seemed to have gained some clarity, and along the way, the relationship with several people had become a lot closer.

"Junior Brother Ye, these kinds of challenges are meaningless, especially with Junior Yu making such a fuss. If you fight too many times, and by any chance you're injured before the grand martial arts competition even starts, that would be troublesome."

Sun Siming knew Ye Chen's combat strength was very strong, but he could not withstand so many challengers.

Ye Chen's reputation preceded him, defeating even the Peak of the Primordial Embryo Realm easily, so these who wish to challenge Ye Chen would naturally have the strength to defeat regular Peak Primordial Embryo Realm martial artists.

Ouyang Xiaoling clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, "That damned Fatty never does anything good. I'm going to drag him back and lock him up until the grand martial arts competition starts—we won't let him out!"

Just then.

A loud shout echoed.

"Ye Chen, come out and fight!"

The voice came from inside the courtyard.

Ye Chen looked at Sun Siming, Ouyang Xiaoling, and Qu Xiao, and smiled, "Don't blame Brother Fatty; with so many people rushing to challenge me, it's not that simple. It's impossible for it to be just a pure challenge.

Whatever the purpose behind these calculations, I'm too lazy to guess.

I only know that the best way to crush conspiracies is to retaliate with the toughest attitude.

As many claws as those in the shadows extend, I'll break that many claws!"

Saying this, Ye Chen, holding his sword, walked out of the room.

In the courtyard.

There stood eight people.

One of them was Fatty, Yu Hui.

The other six stood together.

A man in a blue robe, wielding a knife, stood in the center of the courtyard, staring at Ye Chen, his eyes blazing, his fighting spirit high.

On his robe's chest, there was an embroidered wolf, the symbol of the Celestial Wolf Martial Arts Academy.

The Celestial Wolf Martial Arts Academy ranked ninth among the martial arts academies in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Fatty quickly ran to Ye Chen's side, saying, "This is the first challenge, so it's free… Brother Ye, a big group of people has come outside, but unfortunately, only these six paid the lower-grade Primordial Stones.

The others are just here for the show, cowards all, and without Primordial Stones, they weren't even allowed in."

Sun Siming looked at Fatty, furrowing his brows.

Earlier he thought Ye Chen was the most unstable factor. Now he realized he was wrong; Yu Hui was!

Ouyang Xiaoling and Qu Xiao glared at Fatty; if looks could kill, Fatty would definitely be a dead man.

Of course, to Fatty, these two women's gazes were insignificant, and he outright ignored them.

The man standing in the courtyard let out a cold shout, "Ye Chen, there's word from Unparalleled County that you're invincible below the Mortal Transformation Realm. I'd like to see how invincible you really are!"

Ye Chen walked forward a few steps, his expression calm.

The man directly drew his long knife, the blade flashed a cold light, and the tip pointed straight at Ye Chen, "Celestial Wolf Martial Arts Academy, Li Qing. Today, I'll shatter your so-called bullshit invincibility below the Mortal Transformation Realm!"

"I thought the Ye Chen of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy was some formidable figure with Three Heads and Six Arms, but it turns out, not much special." One of the six who paid the Primordial Stones sneered.

Then someone else said, "Just a rabble. Cangxing Martial Arts Academy gets worse every year; it can only draw attention this way."

"That's right, making money with sparring challenges. Looks like Cangxing Martial Arts Academy has gone mad with poverty."

These guys were full of sneers and jibes.

Ouyang Xiaoling and Qu Xiao both desperately wanted to immediately crush Fatty to death!

Even Sun Siming wanted to give Fatty a good thrashing…

Accepting challenges is fine, but charging five hundred lower-grade Primordial Stones each time is really disgraceful.

Fatty's face was thick, indifferent, knowing Ye Chen well enough; no matter how many challengers came, Ye Chen would take them. Isn't five hundred lower-grade Primordial Stones for a fight nice?

Not shameful at all!

Five hundred lower-grade Primordial Stones isn't a small amount!

Moreover, as long as Ye Chen won… then it's not shameful!

As for whether Ye Chen could win?

Fatty had no doubt whatsoever; those who came today might have some skill, but still average, and Ye Chen could even handle people at the Mortal Transformation Realm, so these were nothing.

For the cold sneers and jibes from those six, Ye Chen didn't care.

When dealing with them later, beating them harder would make them cry.

"Ye Chen, stop dawdling, draw your sword!" Li Qing from Celestial Wolf Martial Arts Academy, his long knife seemed eager and ready.

Ye Chen calmly said, "You're not qualified for me to draw my sword."

Li Qing's expression twisted instantly. As Celestial Wolf Martial Arts Academy's strongest person for this grand martial arts competition, he was so disregarded by Ye Chen, his heart was instantly ablaze, as if he was about to burst with anger.

"Li Qing, stop dawdling. Hurry up, after you finish, we also want to test this so-called invincibility below the Mortal Transformation Realm."

"What do you all say, if Li Qing injures this kid later, should we still fight?"

"Of course, they at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy took our five hundred lower-grade Primordial Stones per person. As long as Ye Chen isn't dead, he must compete with us!"

The six who had paid their five hundred lower-grade Primordial Stones were muttering again.

"That's what you said, don't say you were unprepared and didn't have time to draw your sword when you lose!" Li Qing stared at Ye Chen, his eyes shining with cold light.

"Hmm." Ye Chen casually responded.

"Kill the wolf!"

Li Qing shouted, immediately leaping into the air, his long knife slashing down at Ye Chen, the violent Primordial Energy rolled, transforming into a giant wolf shape as if it could devour heaven and earth.

This was Celestial Wolf Martial Arts Academy's supreme-level knife technique with shocking damage.

The giant wolf let out a terrifying howl, soul-shaking, lunging at Ye Chen, its wolf jaws wide open, revealing ghastly fangs!

Faced with Li Qing's attack, Ye Chen didn't even plan to move a step.

As the giant wolf was about to swallow Ye Chen whole, a cold smile appeared on Li Qing's face, already imagining Ye Chen being slashed half to death.

At the critical moment.

Suddenly, an incomparably brilliant golden light burst forth from Ye Chen, an extreme edge instantly filled the heaven and earth!
