After Sun Siming unleashed a powerful technique, he continued to maintain an intense burst of energy, charging forward with relentless strength, crushing any corrupted corpse that dared to appear.

He was doing his best to conserve strength for Ye Chen and the others.

For him, the team's performance in the competition was the most important thing. It had almost become his heart demon before, but fortunately, after joining Ye Chen and the others, that knot in his heart had loosened a bit.

The group quickly rushed towards the summit.

Before long, they caught up with the five members of Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.

The higher they went, the smaller the mountain became.

Although the teams from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy didn't start from the same position at the foot of the mountain, they were now about to encounter each other.

By now, both teams had reached two-thirds of the height of War Soul Mountain.

Han Qianshan glanced back at a few members from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and frowned slightly.

"Senior Brother Han, don't worry about them. If Sun Siming keeps bursting like this, he'll exhaust his strength before reaching the top. He's the core of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy. Once he loses his combat ability, Ye Chen will be the only one left and won't be able to hold up."

"Senior Brother Han, take a moment to recover. I'll take the lead," said a man at the First Layer of Transcendence from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, then replaced Han Qianshan at the forefront.

On the other side.

Ye Chen also said, "Senior Brother Sun, you should recover a bit too. We're about to face off against the others. We can't do it without you. Let me handle this section of the path."

Sun Siming shook his head and said, "No worries, I can still hold on for a while."

Brother Fatty suddenly shot forward and said, "Stop arguing, let me give it a try."

Ye Chen glanced at Brother Fatty.

Brother Fatty said, "At the last moment, it will still depend on you two. If I don't step up now, are we going to rely on those two girls? Women are unreliable, so I, Master Fatty, will have to show some might."

These words made Ouyang Xiaoling and Qu Xiao want to go up and punch Brother Fatty.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Sun, let Brother Fatty handle it."

Sun Siming wanted to insist, but Brother Fatty didn't care about that. The Tier Four Earth Spirit Seal flew out from between his eyebrows, six spiritual pattern characteristics forming a circular wheel, which charged toward two blocking corrupted corpses!

Just as the circular wheel was about to smash into the two corrupted corpses, it suddenly transformed into a long blade and swept out!

The heads of the two corrupted corpses were chopped off.

Immediately after.

The blade flashed once more, transforming into a large hammer, smashing the two heads flying in the air to pieces.

Brother Fatty had already rushed to the very front, forming a double-hand seal, and the large hammer unexpectedly transformed into a huge mountain, slamming down on the two headless corrupted corpses!

"Boom!"

The two corrupted corpses were directly turned into slabs of meat!

Brother Fatty laughed loudly and shouted, "Master Fatty is clearing the way, unstoppable!"

This shout carried a certain royal majesty to it.

However, immediately afterward, Brother Fatty chuckled softly, and Ye Chen and the others heard it clearly… the impressive image Brother Fatty had worked hard to establish was once again shattered.

Below.

All the observing experts focused their attention on Brother Fatty, almost all showing signs of amazement.

Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy's principal, Xu Changqing, laughed, "Old Yu's Thousand Mechanism Divine Wheel is a Martial Dao inheritance, but who would have thought it could be adapted into a spiritual technique by this little fatty, and so seamlessly at that.

Old Yu can be considered having a worthy successor. The achievements of this little fatty in the future won't be inferior to us old folks."

This was a very high evaluation.

Who were Xu Changqing's contemporaries?

The legendary figure from the Imperial Palace, Yang Tianji from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, Elder Bai Mei, and Yu Sheng from Luofeng Martial Arts Academy.

As for Ouyang Shang from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and most of the other academy deans, they were actually of a younger generation compared to Xu Changqing.

Yu Bihua's face showed a hint of a smile.

Her nephew had finally brought some pride to the Yu Family.

With the spiritual technique Thousand Mechanism Divine Wheel, Brother Fatty charged ahead fiercely, finally reaching the same level as the five from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.

Both sides were about to collide.

"Senior Brother Han, I'll hold them off!"

The Tier Five Earth Seal Spirit Master from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy whispered.

Han Qianshan nodded.

At this point, it was indeed time to take action.

This was unrelated to enmity or orders. This was the Grand Competition, a necessary showdown between the major academies!

At this moment.

Sun Siming also let out a low shout, "Everyone get ready, it's time to make a move!"

Having participated in the Grand Competition twice before, even though the team competition varied each time, he still had some experience. He instinctively judged that Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy would seize the initiative at this time!

As expected.

Just as Sun Siming had predicted.

Suddenly, the Tier Five Earth Seal Spirit Master from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy formed a double-hand seal, releasing a silver spiritual light towards Brother Fatty who was at the forefront.

Ye Chen reacted the fastest.

Golden spiritual light shot out from his mind sea, directly dispersing the silver spiritual light.

"Take action!"

Sun Siming shouted loudly, gripping a long spear in both hands, charging towards the five from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.

The enormous spear shadow, like a mountain peak, appeared once more.

As soon as they acted, they unleashed their strongest move!

Qu Xiao and Ouyang Xiaoling also followed closely, charging towards the people from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.

The people from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy were momentarily stunned.

They had intended to merely interrupt Brother Fatty, breaking their momentum.

But the people from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy had all charged over…

So fierce?!

"Be careful!"

Han Qianshan shouted, drawing his long blade and sweeping it out, a curtain of blade light, like a sky, enveloping his fellow four members from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy!

"Swish!"

Almost as that blade light appeared, a sword qi also slashed down.

The one who struck was Ye Chen!

The first to charge toward Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy was Sun Siming.

Sun Siming unleashed an immensely powerful aura, drawing the attention of those from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.

Ye Chen, however, performed the Heaven-Ascending Step Vertical Earth Golden Light, arriving at Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy's side even faster than Sun Siming.

Han Qianshan had been watching Ye Chen closely, so when he noticed Ye Chen disappearing, he immediately called out a warning and prepared to respond!

Han Qianshan was very strong, being at the Third Layer of Transcendence, a top-tier talent in the Great Zhou Dynasty, no doubt.

But he didn't know where Ye Chen's attack would land, so all he could do was try to protect everyone on his side.

Because the force was spread out, his protective light screen was directly shattered by Ye Chen's sword, the momentum of which continued downward, targeting the Tier Five Earth Seal Spirit Master from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.

This Earth Seal Spirit Master's face turned pale, and he quickly formed a double-hand seal, turning into a shield to block.

"Boom!"

Ye Chen's sword qi struck the shield.

The Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy's Earth Seal Spirit Master, unable to control his body, fell towards the bottom of the mountain.

One of the Transcendence Realm martial artists from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy immediately sent out an Elemental Power Hand Seal to catch him!

Though there were many strong individuals at the foot of the mountain, preventing death by falling, if he fell, he'd have to climb back up from the base, seriously impacting Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy's team competition results.

With just one sword strike, Ye Chen had temporarily held back two major forces from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy.

And Sun Siming's attack had also arrived.

Two Transcendence Realm martial artists from Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, one wielding a sword and the other a fist, struck towards the mountain-like spear shadow.

"Boom boom boom!"

A series of explosions erupted instantly.

"Swish!"

Han Qianshan gripped his blade with his right hand and slashed towards Ye Chen.

He didn't care about the others, because in his view, Ye Chen was a far greater threat than Sun Siming!

If Ye Chen wasn't restrained, the trouble would only grow!

The blade light Han Qianshan released illuminated the skies, majestic and imposing, like surging waves.

Facing Han Qianshan's slash, Ye Chen erupted with an incomparable battle intent, instantly unleashing an Invincible Sword aura.

Among the academies' prodigies under thirty, this Han Qianshan was among the very best.

This was Ye Chen's true purpose in participating in the Grand Competition.

To contend with these geniuses, measuring his strength against them!
