Once again, he stayed up late and exploded. His blood was boiling as he begged for votes. Thank you for your support. Old Gu bowed. Currently, he had 370 votes.
…
After Xiao Chen spoke, Ye Chen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. The entire world seemed to light up in that instant. His gaze was deep and calm as he slowly stood up. His black hair casually draped over his shoulders, giving him a wild look.
"Brother Ye Chen, you have to do your best!" Huang Lu stood up and said heavily to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded slightly. His figure moved like a black arrow and sped towards the martial stage. He landed heavily on the martial stage. The cheers of the audience seemed to have been drowned out.
Ye Chen stood high and looked around. Countless eyes were on him. A sense of heroism rose in his heart. He put his hands behind his back and his clothes fluttered. His eyes were cold like a javelin!
Whoosh!
On the opposite side was a man wearing white fur. He had a well-proportioned body, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. He was quite handsome. He carried a long sword on his back and looked down coldly at Ye Chen. His eyes were filled with disdain and curiosity.
"Everyone be quiet!"
The young man holding the Yellow Notice walked to the center of the martial stage. He raised his hand slightly and suppressed the discussion of the audience. His clear voice spread throughout the audience. He said, "This contestant Ye Chen is from the Full Moon Island. He is not a descendant of our Xuanyuan Sect. He is from the outside world!"
Hua!
The audience burst into an uproar. Everyone looked at Ye Chen who was only up to their waists on the martial stage. In this famous martial arts clan, the most important thing was the figure. After seeing Ye Chen's height, everyone began to discuss intensely.
"From the outside world?
Wow, he is so short. I thought he was a deformed child from some island. "
"He is so small. Will he be killed by a punch?"
"It can't be?
This shorty is also qualified to participate in the battle? "
"How can someone from the outside world participate? Strange."
Everyone was extremely curious about the people from the Outer Realm. However, when they saw Ye Chen actually standing on the martial stage and participating in the battle, their eyes were filled with contempt. It was as if they had seen a pockmarked face participating in a beauty pageant. He was simply asking for humiliation!
The young man on the Yellow Board raised his hand slightly and said, "In order to express our welcome to the outsiders, the Temple has decided that as long as contestant Ye Chen meets the requirements, he can participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. After investigation, he has indeed reached phase-6 combat power!"
The contempt of the audience turned into surprise.
"This shorty is also at the sixth step?"
"What a strange outsider."
Everyone looked at Ye Chen as if they were looking at a national treasure panda.
In the VIP seats.
"Outsider?" The straw hat youth blinked his eyes. "Your figure is quite good, but you've shrunk a little."
"Wow …" A red-clothed girl with sparkling eyes and a face like a happy kitten said, "What a cute outsider. So small, sob sob, I really want to hug him …"
Next to her, a burly man with short hair and bulging muscles looked at Ye Chen passionately. "I don't know how powerful this outsider is, but I hope he can survive. Then we will fight again."
On the martial stage.
Dong ~ ~ ~
The ancient bell rang. It was soul-stirring.
"Begin!"
The young man holding the Yellow Board rose from the ground and floated above the martial stage. Many contestants from Zhong Hai were stunned. He waved his hand and announced the start of the battle.
"Humph!"
On the other side of the Martial Platform, Huang Dong from the Drifting Moon Island had a cold look in his eyes. He slowly grasped the sword on his back and looked at Ye Chen arrogantly, "On behalf of the Xuanyuan Clan, I welcome you, outsider. However, this is the Martial Platform, I will not show you any mercy!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
"To show my respect, let me show you my most powerful Sword Art!" Huang Dong's eyes were focused as he waved the long sword in his hand. "Flowing Light!"
Shu!
His body was like a flash of light as he charged toward Chen Fan. The long sword in his hand slashed downward. His movement was so natural that it was as if he had practiced it thousands of times. It was as if he could cut the world in half.
In the VIP seats, many contestants from Zhong Hai were stunned by the power of the slash.
Ye Chen's expression remained the same. As the longsword approached him, he slowly raised his hand and pinched the blade between his index finger and thumb. Then, under Huang Dong's astonished gaze, Ye Chen's figure suddenly moved and returned to his original position.
He let go of the blade!
Thump!
Huang Dong's body fell to the ground. The blade fell to the ground and made a sad sound.
In an instant, the entire place was dead silent!
Due to Ye Chen's identity, many spectators shifted their gazes from the other two platforms to him. However, at this moment, they were all petrified.
Instant victory!
Everyone only saw Ye Chen clamping down on Huang Dong's sword. Then, Huang Dong's body trembled slightly and fell to the ground with a 'plop'. The situation was extremely strange. However, only those who were well-read could guess that there was only one explanation for this. Ye Chen's attack was too fast. They didn't even see it clearly!
In the genius resting area, Huang Lu, Huang Zheng, and many others were watching this strange scene with their mouths wide open. Only a few of the stronger ones had their pupils constricted as shock appeared on their faces.
In the VIP seats.
"So fast!" The young man in the straw hat exclaimed. "His speed is at least Level Eight!"
"Wow wow …" Beside her, a girl in red who was as cute as a kitten was overjoyed. "He will definitely be able to qualify for the tournament in Zhonghai. Sob sob, I will be able to fight with him then. Xiao Mei is so happy …"
At this moment, the young man on the Yellow Board was stunned. He turned around and looked at Ye Chen seriously. He said loudly, "Ye Chen from the Full Moon Island wins!"
Hua!
Everyone cheered.
Huang Lu rose to his feet. Although he knew Ye Chen's strength, he was still excited.
Next to him, Huang Zheng looked at Ye Chen with a gloomy face. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Huang Han from East Wave Island who was sitting next to Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Lu. He frowned and lowered his head.
Ye Chen's figure flashed and floated back to his seat.
"Brother Ye, you are so powerful." Huang Lu said sincerely.
Ye Chen smiled and then looked at the stage. He closed his eyes and continued to rest.
However, the gazes of the people participating in the battle were filled with fear as they looked at Ye Chen. They had listed him as the most dangerous enemy.
Then, the competition continued.
Soon, it was Huang Lu's turn. He took a deep breath and said goodbye to Ye Chen. Then, he flew toward the stage.
He carried the reputation of the Moon Island and traveled thousands of miles to come here with the blessings of the entire village.
Victory!
Victory!
Defeat all competitors!
He wanted to be famous in the 36 islands of the Outer Sea!
He wanted to let the beautiful figure in his heart know that he was the most powerful and irreplaceable!
Amidst the cheers of the audience, he looked at the sea of people around him. His heart suddenly felt confused, as if he was in a trance. After a long time, when his opponent came onto the stage, he slowly gathered his thoughts. Then, his heart moved, and he turned his head to look at the audience.
That glance felt like thousands of years!
All the sounds disappeared in his ears. There was only the beautiful figure sitting on the white stone chair. She had a slight smile on her face. Her fair fingers were holding a silk handkerchief. She gently wiped the sweat on the forehead of a young man beside her. Her expression was focused and serious, with some gentleness and some worry …
His body trembled. His face was full of expectation, but it suddenly dimmed. There was even a trace of despair.
His heart became cold. It sank to the bottom of the valley. It was empty, as if it was being torn apart.
However, he could not feel any pain.
Dong …
Unknowingly, the sound of a bell rang in the distance.
Hearing the sound of the bell, Huang Lu's body trembled, as if he was awakened. He deeply looked there, then slowly retracted his gaze. He lowered his head. His gaze could only see the land in front of his feet.
It was as if a person who had reached the end of his road was looking at himself in self-mockery and pity.
Whoosh!
Opposite him, a sword light whistled. Thousands of sword light enveloped Huang Lu.
Below the stage, there was a cry of surprise.
In the distance, Ye Chen could not help but open his eyes and look over …
Bang!
A rumbling sound suddenly filled the air, and the entire battle platform seemed to tremble. The sword light which filled the air suddenly shot back toward Huang Lu. Amidst the killing intent of the sword light, Huang Lu strode forward, looking like a ferocious beast emerging from hell. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at his opponent.
The entire world seemed to freeze.
The cheers of the audience, for some reason, suddenly quieted down.
A shocking killing intent that had never been there before engulfed the audience. The thick figure seemed to have transformed into a wild beast in an instant!
At this moment, even the white-haired old man who was floating in the air first raised his eyes and looked over. He said in a low voice, "What a strong killing intent!"
Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He murmured in a low voice, "Maybe, I can let him go there …"
At this time, the battle on the martial stage had already ended. After Huang Lu broke free from the sword light, his figure rushed forward and sent his opponent flying. His original sixth rank battle strength seemed to have increased a lot, reaching the seventh rank. However, as the battle ended, the sound of a bell rang in his ears like a sudden clap of thunder, waking him up.
After waking up, the strong killing intent on his body also disappeared. His thicker arms also slowly shrunk and returned to their original state.
Seeing this, Ye Chen stared at him for a moment. Then, his eyes flickered as he pondered …
Next, the battle continued. Ye Chen roughly glanced at the participants. There were only two young men with eighth rank battle strength. As for the rest, there were five seventh rank battle strength. The rest were mostly sixth rank. Some were early sixth rank, and some were late sixth rank. They fought happily.
All the battles ended in one day.
As each person had to fight three battles, they had to fight for three consecutive days!
After the battle, Ye Chen left with Huang Lu and went back to the dormitory to rest. There was a special hot spring on Dragon Emperor Island that could cleanse the bones and heal external injuries. It was very effective. Many people who were seriously injured in the first round were treated by the professionals of the Divine Palace so that they could continue to fight in their best condition the next day!
… …
Huang Lu was a key figure. This was a foreshadowing.
