A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

In the crowd, Ye Chen was still discussing the match on the field with Lin Ningxue...

"The guy on the left is going to lose..." Ye Chen said abruptly.

"what?"

Lin Ningxue looked up, still somewhat incredulous.

"Senior brother, you're not seeing things, are you?"

"The senior brother on the left is launching a series of attacks, and his swordplay looks more powerful..."

"It should be that the senior brother on the right is about to be overwhelmed."

What she saw was the disciple on the left relentlessly suppressing the disciple on the right, showing no signs of losing...

Ye Chen shook his head noncommittally, "He will be defeated within three moves!"

You'll find out soon enough...

The words had barely left his mouth when, after only two moves, the disciple on the right suddenly swung his sword horizontally in a surprise attack. Taking advantage of the opening in the parry, he kicked his exhausted opponent to the ground...

He lunged forward and delivered a fatal blow to the throat!

With the sword pressed against his neck, the battle was over...

Upon seeing this, Lin Ningxue's eyes widened, her face full of surprise.

"Senior brother, you were right..."

"The senior on the left has really lost!"

Her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Ye Chen!

My senior brother is amazing! He could foresee the outcome of the battle beforehand, which undoubtedly shows he has an extremely thorough understanding of their sword techniques...

But this is the first time my senior brothers have ever witnessed their sword techniques...

"It's nothing, you'll understand it eventually if you practice your sword more..." Ye Chen said dismissively.

He felt that his ability to see through every move of the sword technique so thoroughly stemmed from his extensive sword practice since childhood...

This girl is still too young...

At this moment, Xu Changqing, who was not far away, suddenly looked over and spoke.

"You disciple over there, come up here and have a spar with me. Let's see how your swordsmanship has improved..."

His gaze fell directly on Ye Chen...

He had noticed Ye Chen during the previous duel between the two disciples, and was filled with curiosity about him, wanting to see his swordsmanship skills...

If he has potential, he wouldn't mind giving him some pointers...

In an instant, all the disciples present turned their gazes toward this location...

Ye Chen was secretly yawning, planning to take a nap and then seek Xu Changqing's advice on how to comprehend sword intent after everyone had left...

Completely unaware that the surroundings had fallen silent...

"Senior brother..." Lin Ningxue suddenly nudged him with her elbow.

"Um?"

"Elder Xu seems to be talking about you..."

"I?"

Ye Chen was startled and suddenly raised his head.

I thought to myself, "No way, I just happened to take a nap, and I've already been discovered?"

That's some serious eye work!

Meeting everyone's gaze, Ye Chen's face immediately flushed red; he was a little embarrassed...

He opened his mouth to explain, but met Xu Changqing's gaze, deep as a vast starry sky. The words caught in his throat as Xu Changqing's voice rang in his ears...

"Come on up!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked forward.

I thought this was a good opportunity to ask the other person how to comprehend sword intent...

Xu Changqing glanced at Ye Chen, a subtle, unsettling look flashing across his face.

"strangeness..."

He murmured softly, but no one heard him.

As Ye Chen approached, Xu Changqing's gaze swept across the crowd again, locking onto a plump figure...

"Cheng Tieniu, come up here!"

In his opinion, Ye Chen had a high level of skill in swordsmanship, and if an ordinary disciple were to duel with him, they would not be able to test his abilities at all.

Cheng Tieniu was known among the outer disciples for his thick skin and tough flesh. He had achieved considerable success in cultivating defensive techniques and was invincible below the Foundation Establishment stage.

In the past, when discussing swordsmanship, Xu Changqing would always ask him to be his sparring partner in order to push his disciples to their limits. Over time, they became quite familiar with each other, and it became a habit of his when teaching.

"Yes, Elder Xu!"

In the crowd, an obese man slowly stood up, strode over, and looked very excited...

"Finally, it's my turn to play..."

"That kid really threw me hard; my butt hurts from the fall..."

"Regardless of whether we know the disciples who come up later, let's beat them all up first and vent our anger..."

Cheng Tieniu thought to himself.

He was completely bewildered when Ye Chen lifted him up with one hand and threw him out earlier.

I never expected any disciple to have such great strength...

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and didn't get hurt. He was furious but didn't dare go back to seek revenge on Ye Chen...

The other person can easily throw him away with one hand, so beating him would be as easy as beating a chicken.

He'd been an outer disciple for so long, and he'd never suffered such humiliation. He was seething with anger, waiting for the chance to vent it during a sparring match...

"I wonder which unlucky soul is going to suffer this fate..."

Cheng Tieniu strode to the open space in the middle and looked up at his opponent...

The next second, a familiar figure appeared before him...

"It's you!"

Cheng Tieniu's expression changed drastically, and he panicked.

He never expected that his enemies would meet again, and he would run into Ye Chen once more...

Why would he be the one to spar with?

"You two know each other?"

Xu Changqing, who was standing to the side, asked curiously.

"No...I don't know him."

Cheng Tieniu shook his head with a complicated expression, a surge of nervousness still lingering in his heart...

Ye Chen, standing opposite him, was equally surprised, never expecting to run into this fat man again by such a coincidence...

He looked at the other man with great interest; this fat man still owed him a call of "Grandpa"!

Cheng Tieniu felt uneasy under Ye Chen's gaze, fearing that Ye Chen would make him call him "Grandpa" in public, which would be too embarrassing...

How will he ever be able to survive in the outer sect again?

Fortunately, Xu Changqing spoke up.

"You two can spar. As long as you don't kill anyone, go all out..."

With him watching over them, there was no worry about any disciples getting hurt or dying; he was confident he could intervene at the crucial moment.

At this moment, Cheng Tieniu suddenly spoke up.

"Elder Xu, can I...can I not fight him?"

"Could I come on for the next game?"

Xu Changqing paused for a moment, then turned to look at him, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.

Why?

In the past, Cheng Tieniu never refused anyone who came, eager to show off his prowess. Why did he back down before even having a chance to spar this time?

"I...I feel a bit unwell in my stomach..."

Cheng Tieniu looked terrified, almost on the verge of tears...

After all, since Ye Chen could throw him away with one hand, it meant he had incredible arm strength, at least several thousand kilograms. If he attacked at full power, he could probably turn him into mincemeat...

Who wouldn't be scared?

"Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?"

Xu Changqing frowned slightly.

He remembered that Cheng Tieniu was very excited when he came up earlier, showing no signs of stomach discomfort at all...

What's wrong with this kid today?

"Why don't you finish this match first..."

He was so eager to see Ye Chen's swordsmanship that he didn't give Cheng Tieniu a chance to leave.

In his view, only Cheng Tieniu could force Ye Chen to use all his moves...

"I..."

Cheng Tieniu felt a chill run down his spine...

"Maru-la!!!"
