Ye Chen slowly walked onto the arena, striding with his head held high, his eyes resolute.
Such a posture truly possessed an extraordinary demeanor.
Chu Ge watched from below with interest.
Although the Grand Competition was in full swing, it was somewhat boring for him.
Most of these Disciples were only at the Third Level Heaven, and occasionally there were those at the Ten Heavens, but they had not shown any other outstanding qualities besides their cultivation.
Now that Ye Chen had stepped onto the stage, it finally piqued his interest slightly.
Below, Ye Chen had already begun to fight the master of Arena Number One.
His opponent was considered one of the top Disciples in this batch, with Ten Heavens cultivation at its Peak, having already opened 108 acupoints.
But this was clearly not enough in front of Ye Chen; in just a short while, his opponent had already depleted most of his spiritual energy and was physically exhausted.
Ye Chen, however, was at ease, not even panting, clearly under no pressure.
As a stream of spiritual energy whistled past, his opponent was unable to dodge and was knocked off the arena.
"Next."
An arrogant voice resounded from the arena, Ye Chen's gaze sweeping sharply in all directions.
Suddenly, he saw on a high platform, amidst a group of women, a young girl whose gaze was fixed on this spot.
A gentle breeze brushed across the high platform, and the young girl stood gracefully, her figure lithe, her simple white dress swaying with the wind, like a blooming white lotus.
Her face was as clear and beautiful as jade, her skin like snow, her eyes as brilliant as stars, and beneath her high nose, her cherry blossom-like lips were gently pursed.
A simple white dress covered her tall and slender figure, with smooth shoulder lines supporting the snow-white gown.
Her chest gently rose and fell, showcasing feminine softness, appearing even more dignified against the white dress.
Her waist was slender and flexible, like a willow swaying in the wind, and her legs were long and straight, like flawless jade pillars.
Although the young girl's figure did not possess exaggeratedly alluring curves,
her body proportions were perfect, and every gesture exuded a refined and noble temperament.
She was like a Fairy stepping out of a painting, captivating all who beheld her.
But it was this very young girl, so refined, noble, and imbued with a Fairy-like Aura, who made Ye Chen clench his teeth, his inner rage threatening to erupt like a volcano!
"Tantai! Xuan! Yin!"
Ye Chen roared with a distorted face, his eyes locked onto the calm-faced young girl on the high platform.
Her gaze felt familiar to him; he vaguely remembered that on the day their engagement was broken, she had looked at him with such a calm, almost dismissive, gaze.
As if he were merely a speck of dust in her eyes.
Just then, another Disciple from the Ten Heavens stepped onto Ye Chen's arena.
Ye Chen's eyes suddenly shot out a ferocious, beast-like glint.
The next moment, Ye Chen's figure shot out, a cruel smile still on his face.
Seeing this, the Disciple's face suddenly changed in alarm; before he could react, he felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer.
He was sent flying off the arena on the spot, blood splattering through the air.
Upon closer inspection, his entire chest was caved in, his eyes rolled back, and blood continuously gushed from his mouth.
Fortunately, healing elixirs were provided in time, otherwise this Disciple would have been in mortal danger.
With just one strike, he severely wounded a Ten Heavens Disciple to the brink of death. Ye Chen's ferocity and strength caused all Disciples participating in the Grand Competition to change their expressions in alarm.
And many Inner Sect deacons, at this moment, slightly furrowed their brows, their faces subtly showing dissatisfaction.
Ye Chen's ruthless methods displeased them greatly.
But Ye Chen still felt it wasn't enough; he couldn't fully vent the anger in his heart.
The next moment, he leaped, actually jumping onto Arena Number Two.
Without a word, Ye Chen directly attacked, his figure darting like lightning, and with another punch, he once again sent his opponent flying off the arena.
"What is this boy doing?!"
"Is he crazy?!"
A deacon exclaimed, his face showing shock and anger.
"Elder, this..."
The deacons looked towards the Inner Sect Elder.
"It's fine. If he has the ability to clear all the arenas, then he will be the first in this Grand Competition."
The Elder spoke calmly, not overly concerned.
And at this moment, Ye Chen had already cleared eight arenas.
After he jumped onto the ninth arena, he saw a total of twelve people standing by in full readiness.
"Ye Chen, you are truly arrogant. You actually want to win the first place in this Grand Competition by clearing the field. Do you really take us for soft persimmons?"
Someone's face was full of anger; Ye Chen's actions clearly showed he didn't put them in his eyes.
"Mere chickens and dogs. Even if you all come at once, what do I have to fear?!"
Ye Chen sneered disdainfully. Facing twelve Ten Heavens, he showed no signs of backing down; instead, he took the initiative to attack.
"How dare you! Still acting so fierce?!"
As exclamations rang out, Ye Chen and the twelve engaged in battle.
On the high platform.
"This child is extraordinary. Taihuang is indeed Taihuang; even in the Inner Sect, there are such remarkable individuals. If I'm not mistaken, this child also possesses a Wang Body."
Among the observing Great Power, one looked at Ye Chen with approval.
Clearly, Ye Chen's current performance had impressed them.
Tantai Xuanyin took in Ye Chen's current performance, with not much ripple in her heart.
"Shijie, is this young man, perhaps, your former..."
A question came from behind her, but Tantai Xuanyin did not turn her head; she merely withdrew her gaze from below and nodded faintly.
And below, Ye Chen had already defeated all twelve who had attacked him.
At this moment, he truly possessed an invincible Aura.
And none of the remaining Disciples who had not yet stepped onto the stage dared to do so now.
For a time, in the vast training ground, only Ye Chen stood proudly!
Chu Ge watched Ye Chen, who was momentarily unmatched below, with a smile on his face, the smile at the corner of his mouth becoming more pronounced.
Although he couldn't see it, Chu Ge felt that a 'momentum' was gathering on Ye Chen's body.
Under the blessing of this momentum, Ye Chen's cultivation was slowly climbing in one crushing battle after another.
Chu Ge naturally understood the reason for this.
The Heavenly Favor behind the Child of Destiny was exerting its power.
Each defeated Disciple became nourishment for Ye Chen, causing not only his cultivation to rise but also his invisible destiny to gradually grow stronger.
But this was precisely what Chu Ge wanted to see.
The leeks were growing astonishingly well; after harvesting, the yield would naturally be greater.
Beside him, Tantai Jinglian, though unaware of what Chu Ge was thinking, could tell that Chu Ge seemed to be in a very good mood at the moment.
Just then.
"Grand Elder, a Disciple from Heavenly Sword Holy Land wishes to spar with Ye Chen."
Elder Xu Xiuzhu walked over.
"Oh? Interesting. What is that person's cultivation?"
Tantai Jinglian had a subtle smile on her face.
"Ten Heavens, likely a direct Disciple of a Great Power from Heavenly Sword Holy Land."
Upon hearing this, Tantai Jinglian did not respond immediately; instead, she turned her gaze to Chu Ge: "Shizhi, what do you think?"
Xu Xiuzhu beside him showed a hint of surprise, never expecting Tantai Jinglian to value Chu Ge so much as to specifically ask for the opinion of a Junior.
