Silence!

The surroundings were dead quiet.

The Silver Robe Steward looked puzzled.

Because.

After he finished speaking, Ye Qingchen still sat there without moving, instead quietly watching the Copper Robe Steward in front of him.

"Young Master Ye, what's wrong?" the Silver Robe Steward inquired.

"Steward Liu, this person just tried to drive us away!" Ye Qing snorted. "and said, we couldn't compare with these disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect!"

"Lord Liu..."

The Copper Robe Steward was just about to explain.

Slap!

Out of nowhere.

The Silver Robe Steward delivered a heavy slap to his face, angrily rebuking:

"Young Master Ye is a guest of Mr. Zhou!"

"He came this time to receive the reward for the Profound Grade Top task! Where do you get the nerve to drive him away?"

After saying this.

The Silver Robe Steward quickly turned his head and apologized to Ye Qingchen: "Young Master Ye, this fool was blind, having never served you before, which is why such a thing happened. Rest assured, I will handle this matter fairly!"

Seeing the Silver Robe Steward's reverent attitude, the Copper Robe Steward's heart fell into a bottomless abyss.

This kid really came to claim the Profound Grade Top task!

And, he really is a guest of Zhou Yuntian!

He couldn't believe he offended such a figure for Lin Fan's sake?

He no longer cared about Lin Fan, and hurriedly spilled everything about the incident like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

The Silver Robe Steward's face turned cold, and he looked at Lin Fan with disdain: "You're just a mere disciple of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, what right do you have to flaunt your power in my Martial Arts Arena. Get out! From today onwards, none of your Celestial Essence Sword Sect disciples are allowed to step into my Sword Sect again!"

"Yes, yes! I understand..."

Lin Fan no longer had his earlier arrogant demeanor.

Originally, he wanted to use his reputation to drive Ye Qingchen out, but unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot. In the end, it was himself who got thrown out. Although his heart was filled with hatred, he didn't dare to utter a word.

"Young Master Ye, let's go! Don't bother with this trash..." After saying this, the Silver Robe Steward looked at Ye Qingchen with a smile.

"Let's go!"

Ye Qingchen nodded.

After speaking, he glanced at Lin Fan, then pulled Ye Qing along and left.

Hong Man and Jiang Churan also looked at Lin Fan and the others with half-smiles.

Not until everyone entered the inner layer.

The surroundings then exploded in chatter.

"How can it be! How could this kid know the Silver Robe Steward? And be a guest of Zhou Yuntian as well?"

"Truly pitiful! This is shooting yourself in the foot! Originally wanted to drive the others out, yet he was the one who got thrown out in the end!"

"Yes, boasting about his abilities, yet the others didn't even need to say a word to get him ousted!"

"Bastard!"

Listening to the surrounding mockery, Lin Fan couldn't hold back any longer.

As a strong contender on the Bronze Ranking, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"The Martial Arts Arena doesn't welcome your Celestial Essence Sword Sect disciples!" At this moment, another Copper Robe Steward, expressionlessly, walked over and called the guards.

Lin Fan almost gritted his teeth to powder.

He gave a deep look in the direction Ye Qingchen had left, "Ye Qingchen, this is not over between us!"

Right now.

He left the Martial Arts Arena angrily with the others in tow.

The others were silent as well.

The good mood from acquiring the Profound Grade Low items was now like being doused with a bucket of cold water.

They never expected Ye Qingchen to pull off such a stunning reversal.

Especially Zhao Yue, whose feelings were even more mixed. Originally, he thought he would see Lin Fan stomp Ye Qingchen down, but who knew they hit an iron wall instead.

While he was thinking this, he heard the pock-marked faced youth from earlier say:

"Brother Lin Fan, what should we do next, return to the sect?"

Slap!

As soon as the words fell.

Lin Fan slapped him hard.

"Go back? Impossible!" Lin Fan's face was livid. As a strong contender on the Bronze Ranking, he was prouder than even Lei Qianjue. Getting thrown out now, how could he swallow that?

"Then we are?" a disciple quickly asked.

"We'll wait for him to come out right here! The Martial Arts Arena can protect Ye Qingchen, but it can't protect him forever." Lin Fan gnashed his teeth, "Relying on others is temporary! Only your own strength is permanent!"

...

"Who would have thought a small Copper Robe Steward would dare stir up trouble, being commanded by those Celestial Essence Sword Sect disciples is simply losing the reputation of our Martial Arts Arena!" The Silver Robe Steward recalled the earlier events, still somewhat angry.

He naturally knew Lin Fan.

The opponent was a strong contender on the Bronze Ranking, naturally with a limitless future. But compared to Ye Qingchen in front of him, he still fell short.

Although Ye Qingchen might not yet surpass the opponent, Ye Qingchen's potential was deeper than Lin Fan's, no wonder Zhou Yuntian held Ye Qingchen in such high regard.

"No matter, this is just my grudge with the Eight Major Sects." Ye Qingchen smiled faintly.

Moment later.

The group had already arrived at the inner layer of the Martial Arts Arena.

In the vast inner layer, over a hundred counters were lined up densely. Above them were displayed all sorts of pills, weapons, martial techniques, and some rare Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

"Young Master Ye, Young Master Hong, Miss Jiang, each of you can choose one!" the Silver Robe Steward said, "However, you only have half an hour!"

After saying this.

The Silver Robe Steward respectfully stood outside the door. He wasn't qualified to enter the inner layer. As for Ye Qing, she could only wait outside as well.

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingchen and the others sobered up from their relaxed mindsets.

With limited time, everyone naturally had to race against the clock.

"I need a swordsmanship manual!"

Ye Qingchen took a deep breath.

He had already decided on the reward he needed this time.

Due to the 'Gold-Splitting Jade-Breaking Pointing', he completed Thunder Shock Pointing, enhancing his close combat skills. But he was ultimately a sword cultivator, and having comprehended the 'Wind Sword Intent' as well, it would be best to find swordsmanship matching the 'Wind Sword Intent'.

"Shattered Stream Sword!"

"Twelve Swords of White Cloud!"

"Golden Gang Swordsmanship!"

One by one, various swordsmanships left Ye Qingchen dazzled.

There's no denying that.

These Profound Tier Top Sword Techniques were extremely intricate, and even just from the descriptions, one could tell their immense power.

Just like the 'Twelve Swords of White Cloud', it had twelve moves.

The sword postures were ethereal, like the elusive white clouds.

As for 'Golden Gang Swordsmanship', it had seven moves.

The sword postures were grand and forceful, unparalleled in ferocity.

And 'Shattered Stream Sword', had nine moves.

It followed a strange and sinister style.

Ye Qingchen knew.

One must choose swordsmanship compatible with the Sword Intent, otherwise, if the two were contradictory, not only would the full power of the sword moves not be unleashed, but the Sword Intent could wither.

"The Wind Sword Intent emphasizes an uncompromising majestic stance, a strike that fears no one!"

"Among these swordsmanships, only 'Golden Gang Swordsmanship' barely matches."

Ye Qingchen's eyes rapidly scanned the sword manuals, but there were almost none suitable for the Wind Sword Intent.

Just as he contemplated whether to select 'Golden Gang Swordsmanship'.

His gaze suddenly fell upon a conspicuous stone platform.

"This is..."
