The matter between Zhou Chengqian and Hua Qianxue was once considered a beautiful tale in the Great Zhou Dynasty, with their engagement being called a match made in heaven.

But after Hua Qianxue struck Zhou Chengqian with a sword, it had clearly become a joke.

Everyone knew how vast the gap was between Zhou Chengqian and Hua Qianxue.

Yet no one dared to mention this in front of Zhou Chengqian.

However.

Ye Chen said it out loud, so directly, leaving Zhou Chengqian no face at all.

Moreover, according to outside rumors, Hua Qianxue seemed to have an unusual relationship with Ye Chen. Previously, Hua Qianxue attacked Zhou Chengqian because of Ye Chen... and now Ye Chen uttered these words.

This further solidified the rumors!

Yu Sheng looked at Ye Chen standing beside him, wondering why he found it amusing.

Ye Chen from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy was certainly bold, ignoring the occasion and directly engaging in a display of jealousy with a rival in love!

Interesting kid.

What a pity, he's not from Luofeng Martial Arts Academy.

Luckily, he's not from Luofeng Martial Arts Academy... if he were, Yu Sheng felt his old bones wouldn't be able to handle it.

Right now, it's uncertain if Yang Tianji and Ouyang Shang from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, two legendary figures, are running around for Ye Chen.

Zhou Chengqian's face was so gloomy it seemed it could drip water.

Respond?

How should he respond?

Teach Ye Chen a lesson on the spot?

In this situation, there's no way to deal with Ye Chen... Yu Sheng and He Dong would surely intervene.

Unable to take action and blow up, it would only make him seem cowardly and incompetent!

"Ye Chen, I want you to kneel and apologize to His Highness immediately, or else you won't be spared!"

A strong warrior behind Zhou Chengqian shouted angrily.

Ye Chen sneered and said, "Apologize? Did I say something wrong? Besides, what qualifies him to make me kneel?"

The warrior scoffed and said, "His Highness is the Sixth Prince of Great Zhou, showing disrespect to His Highness, making you kneel and apologize is already His Highness being lenient!"

Ye Chen sneered again, "In the Great Zhou Dynasty, an Earth Seal Spirit Master can meet the Zhou Emperor without bowing. I am a Celestial Seal Spirit Master, even the Zhou Emperor must treat me with courtesy. A mere Sixth Prince, what is he?

Do you honestly think Zhou Chengqian's status is higher than Zhou Emperor?

Is this your own thought?

Or does your master think so too?"

Ye Chen not only ridiculed Zhou Chengqian once more but also turned the tables.

For Zhou Chengqian, Ye Chen held no courtesy.

Back then, the Ninth Prince Zhou Chengyun went to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy under the name of Prince Yong to drive Ye Chen out of the residence Hua Qianxue had left there.

At that time.

Ye Chen directly killed Zhou Chengyun's follower, Yan Mingkuan, son of Prime Minister Yan Song.

Later.

Zhou Chengyun repeatedly tried to kill Ye Chen in Demon Suppression Valley, the root cause was also Zhou Chengqian!

This time's competition.

Ye Chen was constantly targeted, again it was due to Zhou Chengqian's manipulations behind the scenes.

So.

Zhou Chengqian was actually the source of the trouble!

Ye Chen was very clear about this, and now that Zhou Chengqian was standing right in front of him, he couldn't feel at ease without venting a bit!

What Sixth Prince, what Great Zhou Royal Family's pride, none of it mattered to him!

Just a waste, garbage, how does he not deserve Hua Qianxue?

He's not even fit to carry Hua Qianxue's shoes!

"Cough, cough!"

Yu Sheng cleared his throat, glancing at Ye Chen, signaling enough was enough.

"Sixth Prince, you, along with Dean Xu of Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, are the overseers of this competition. Now that Dean Xu isn't here, please quickly announce the results of the individual competition."

Zhou Chengqian's anger burned, and he was nearly out of control.

He kept plotting against Ye Chen just to suppress Ye Chen's momentum... and yet Ye Chen went on to publicly humiliate him.

Now, he had to announce Ye Chen as the champion of the competition.

The bitterness was truly hard to bear.

"The first place in the individual competition of the event goes to Cangxing Martial Arts Academy... Ye Chen!

The second place in the individual competition goes to Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, Han Qianshan!

..."

After announcing the top ten, Zhou Chengqian huffed and left, flicking his sleeves.

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "Alright, let's go. It's enough that the rankings have been determined. Everything else will wait for Xu Changqing to arrange."

Then.

Yu Sheng, He Dong, and Yu Bihua left the ancient battlefield fragment space together with the people from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and Luofeng Martial Arts Academy.

After leaving the ancient battlefield fragment space.

Ye Chen immediately returned to the cultivation room attached to his residence.

After fighting with Han Qianshan, he had almost reached the end of his endurance, feeling incredibly weak. The only reason he kept up appearances was to not lose face in front of Zhou Chengqian.

After taking some pills to restore his primal energy and spiritual power, Ye Chen began to cultivate his cultivation technique.

Nine Heavens Sword Manual, recovering sword essence.

Thousand Spirits Technique, recovering spiritual power.

Because of his comprehension of the Yin-Yang Sword Intent, Ye Chen achieved a complete transformation, making his cultivation smoother and recovering at an astonishing speed.

Moreover, he discovered that both his martial cultivation and his spirit realm had broken through a barrier, and both aspects would gain significant improvements in a short time.

In other words, it won't be long before he should be able to take on Zhou Chengqian.

If I can take down Zhou Chengqian, then I'll have the strength to kill Gu Yue!

Unfortunately.

That old dog Gu Yue is hiding somewhere unknown.

......

Ye Chen sat in meditation inside the cultivation room.

The news about the Wind and Clouds Competition had already swept through all of Jiulong City.

Ye Chen earned first place for Cangxing Martial Arts Academy in the team competition, the first time Cangxing Martial Arts Academy had taken first place, and the first time Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy had lost the first place!

Ye Chen also defeated all opponents in the individual competition, securing first place as well!

Some shady dealings during the Wind and Clouds Competition were also being vigorously discussed.

Under the advocacy of the Sixth Prince Zhou Chengqian, Qin Yi and Jiang Shiyin, disciples from Feiyang Martial Arts Academy, who lost their qualification to participate in the Wind and Clouds Competition, joined Tongming Martial Arts Academy.

Under the supervision of the Sixth Prince Zhou Chengqian, Ye Chen continuously encountered martial arts prodigies of the Mortal Transformation Realm in the individual competition!

After winning first place in the individual competition, Ye Chen directly said to Zhou Chengqian's face that Zhou Chengqian was unworthy of Hua Qianxue!

Although these rumors were not directly spoken, anyone who wasn't foolish would understand what's going on.

At the moment.

Zhou Chengqian found himself in the eye of the storm!

Besides.

There was also a shocking piece of news spreading.

Qin Feiyan, the patriarch of the Qin Family of Feiyang Martial Arts Academy, secretly engaged with his sister-in-law, and Qin Yi, who always called Qin Feiyan uncle, is actually Qin Feiyan's son!

Moreover, Qin Feiyan's daughter, who died at Ye Chen's hands, had an unspeakable relationship with one of the ancestors of the Qin Family.

In addition, Qin Feiyan's son Qin Zhen was confined because he went to Unparalleled County to cause trouble for Ye Chen; during his confinement, he developed a love-hate entanglement with a male disciple of Feiyang Martial Arts Academy!

Furthermore, although Qin Yi and Jiang Shiyin are senior and junior fellow disciples, they are secretly lovers, but Qin Feiyan, knowing this, forced Jiang Shiyin to engage in relations with him, leveraging his position at Feiyang Martial Arts Academy.

These pieces of information spread even faster than the results of the Wind and Clouds Competition.

It is said.

Qin Feiyan, who was still healing in Jiulong City, spat up blood and almost died from his body rebelling when he learned of the exposure!

......

Inside the Emperor Star Martial Arts Academy, Yu Sheng was sitting and drinking tea with He Dong.

At this time, Xu Changqing rushed in angrily, glaring at Yu Sheng, and said, "Old Ghost Yu, are you the one spreading those rumors outside?!"

Only Yu Sheng, the old fox, liked to play such tricks.

Qin Feiyan previously targeting Ye Chen had also implicated Yu Sheng's own grandson Yu Hui, so it was a reasonable inference that Yu Sheng would deal with Qin Feiyan!

Xu Changqing and Yu Sheng were from the same era, so he knew Yu Sheng well!

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "Old Ghost Xu, how can you still be this way at such an age? Rumors, some are true and some are false, believe what you want to believe, calm down, and come have a cup of tea."

Xu Changqing glared fiercely at Yu Sheng, then sat down and said, "I don't object to you dealing with the people of Feiyang Martial Arts Academy, Qin Feiyan; they brought this upon themselves. But by doing this, the reputation and atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty Martial Arts Academy will be implicated!"

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "Old Ghost Xu, save yourself the worry. The Martial Arts Academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty has not been united for a long time, why worry about so much?"

Xu Changqing frowned, then sighed and looked at He Dong, saying, "Vice Dean He, regarding the matter I messaged you about earlier, you must be careful. If something in the ancient battlefield fragment space really affects Ye Chen, it needs to be resolved promptly."

He Dong said, "Thank you for your concern, Dean Xu. Ye Chen is a person who is thoughtful."

Yu Sheng also said, "Don't fuss about this matter. Years ago, when I, you, and Ouyang Shang dragged the ancient battlefield fragment space back from the void, we knew what was up.

Although it seems like there is no opportunity inside, it is actually related to the True Martial Hall. If Ye Chen can really connect with True Martial Hall because of this, it is a good thing, which is what Ouyang Shang and others would like to see too.

This sky is too small for Ye Chen.

Only the True Martial Hall can provide him with a much broader sky!

So, hurry up and get it done; if you back out on what you promised Ye Chen, you're finished. That kid can be very petty sometimes, and if he seeks vengeance on you later, Ouyang Shang and that bastard won't help you plead."

Xu Changqing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then bring Ye Chen out and send him into the ancient battlefield fragment space again. Whether he can get this opportunity depends on his own fate."
