Mu Qingqing nodded excitedly, then immediately ran over, skillfully stopped the bleeding, took the storage ring, and finally wrote an IOU, making Liu Xingfeng sign with a fingerprint, looking disdainful.

"This IOU was made in my grandfather's name. If anyone dares to default, I'll have him collect the debt!" Mu Qingqing said.

Everyone: "..."

Now, everyone understood who Mu Qingqing was.

The only granddaughter of Mu Zhengxiong, the foremost alchemist in Cangzhou!

The sole remaining descendant of the Mu Family!

Originally, Liu Xingfeng was barely alive, but upon realizing he couldn't shirk this debt, he suddenly couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

Mu Qingqing took the IOU and the storage ring and returned to Ye Chen's side.

Ye Chen asked, "Who else has been calling out to challenge me lately?"

Mu Qingqing tilted her round little face in thought and said, "The Lv Brothers from Celestial Cyan City."

"Let's go to Celestial Cyan City!" Ye Chen said decisively.

Waiting for others to challenge is pointless; it's better to take the initiative.

...

Celestial Cyan City.

Ye Chen, from the True Martial Hall, would be accepting all challenges at the Cyan Cloud Arena in the center of Celestial Cyan City, and this news quickly spread throughout the city!

On a huge elevated platform, Ye Chen stood in the middle, holding a sword.

The Cyan Cloud Arena had always been the place where the prodigies of the Qingyun List sparred.

Every time a prodigy from the Qingyun List fought there, it would attract countless spectators.

Around the Cyan Cloud Arena, people kept arriving in droves.

The atmosphere was bustling and lively.

"Have you heard? Both Hu Biao and Liu Xingfeng challenged Ye Chen and were defeated by him!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Well, Hu Biao is one thing, but Liu Xingfeng's strength had been estimated to reach around 95 on the Qingyun List. If even Liu Xingfeng isn't a match for Ye Chen, Ye Chen's strength is far stronger than everyone imagined!"

"To say who has a chance to knock Ye Chen down from the 100th position on the Qingyun List, it would be the Lv Brothers."

"The Lv Brothers have been training away from home for three years. They returned just over ten days ago, and it's said they've undergone a massive transformation!"

"If both Lv Brothers have the strength to enter the Qingyun List and add that the Lv Family already has someone on it, the rise of the Lv Family will be unstoppable!"

"That's exactly why the Lv Brothers are challenging Ye Chen. The future of the Lv Family looks promising but they need the support of the Qi Family."

"With that said, today's fight will surely be quite spectacular!"

Amidst the discussions.

Qi Yu from the Qi Family showed up.

Standing beside the Cyan Cloud Arena, Qi Yu stared at Ye Chen, his eyes as cold as a serpent's.

The Qi Family's reputation had been tarnished by Ye Chen several times.

Yet the Qi Family couldn't retaliate openly, so they could only use this method to dampen Ye Chen's momentum!

"Qi Yu, don't worry. Lv Liang and Lv Han both possess strength around 90th on the Qingyun List. Ye Chen's defeat today is inevitable."

There was laughter, and a man approached Qi Yu with a group of guards.

"Young Master Wang, why are you here?" Qi Yu looked at the newcomer and asked.

"I happen to have a duel with Tang Jue from the Tang Family later." The man named Wang laughed.

Just then, another young man arrived with a group of guards.

"Tang Jue, I thought you wouldn't dare show up." The man named Wang turned his head.

"Wang Qiu, enough with the chatter; we'll see in the fight!"

The crowd around became even more excited.

"It's a good day to be here; not only will Ye Chen fight the Lv Brothers, but the 82nd-ranked Wang Qiu will also battle the 81st-ranked Tang Jue! Surely, today's spectacles will be fully satisfying!"

"Wang Qiu and Tang Jue have been fighting since before they entered the Qingyun List. Since being on it, their rivalry has continued, with victories and defeats on both sides. Every battle between them is exceptionally intense."

On the elevated platform.

Ye Chen glanced at Wang Qiu.

Although unfamiliar, he could guess that this guy belonged to the Wang Family, allied with the Qi Family.

Tang Jue... a direct descendant of the Tang Family!

Some time ago, Ye Chen had secretly looked into information on some individuals from Tianwai Tian, and in doing so, he also learned about Tang Jue.

This guy is Tang Hao's younger brother!

Ye Chen's mind whirred with thoughts.

And the number of people around the Cyan Cloud Arena continued to grow.

Mu Baoming from the Mu Mansion arrived with his group.

"Brother Ye, I've already prepared a feast at the mansion to celebrate your victory later!" Mu Baoming shouted from below the arena.

Qi Mo from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion showed up, smiling, "Young Master Ye, you promised several times to visit my place. Don't back out today."

Yue the Third from the True Martial Hall's office in Celestial Cyan City stood by, eyes glinting.

Last time Ye Chen talked about going into seclusion to break through to the Mortal Transformation Realm, Yue thought Ye Chen was too arrogant...

But not only did Ye Chen genuinely break through, he immediately defeated the number one hundred on the Qingyun List after doing so.

It hasn't even been a few days?

In Yue's perception, Ye Chen had already reached the Second Layer of Transcendence...

What a monstrous prodigy, Yue sighed internally, feeling both awe and concern.

The Lv Brothers, who had been away for three years training, were formidable opponents...

But with Ye Chen already on the Cyan Cloud Arena, Yue had no way to stop him, only resolving that if Ye Chen lost, he'd quickly whisk him away to prevent any desperate acts...

About a quarter of an hour later.

Suddenly, a terrifying whirring sound echoed.

Most people in the field immediately felt their hair stand on end.

A long spear shot forth from afar.

"Boom!"

The spear crashed onto the Cyan Cloud Arena, embedding half its shaft into the ground, while the rest above vibrated, producing a piercing hum!

Soon after, a figure flew rapidly to the ground beside the spear.

This was an average-built man whose most distinct feature was a collar around his neck.

"Are you Ye Chen?" The man eyed Ye Chen, snorting coldly, "Even a mere trash at the Mortal Transformation Realm dares to stir trouble here in Celestial Cyan City, you're just courting death!"

How arrogant!

Ye Chen sneered, "Which family dog wasn't properly tied up at home? How dare it bark wildly outside!"

The man's face turned ashen, gritting his teeth, "Ye Chen, you won't be cocky for long; listen up, it's your Uncle Lv Liang who's going to suppress you and take your Qingyun List ranking!"

As his words fell.

Lv Liang gripped the spear planted in the ground, his arm tensing with strength.

With a thunderous explosion.

The force from Lv Liang lifted the ground of the Cyan Cloud Arena, the stone slabs rolling like waves towards Ye Chen.

Lv Liang's figure flickered, charging at Ye Chen, wielding his spear like a dragon, his might boundless and fierce!
