"Jinghong Sword!"

From the first glance, Ye Qingchen was captivated by it.

Jinghong Swordsmanship.

The sword is like a startling bird.

This sword technique consists of four moves: Thunder Chase, Mountain Collapse, Explosive Annihilation, and finally, Jinghong!

Each move is more powerful than the last.

The first three moves combined form the Jinghong!

What satisfied Ye Qingchen even more was that this "Jinghong Swordsmanship" was incredibly harmonious with the Wind Sword Intent he had comprehended.

In the moment.

Ye Qingchen carefully began to read through it.

The sword techniques described in the manual were etched into his mind as if there was a figure performing these moves right in front of him.

At this moment.

Ye Qingchen inexplicably immersed himself in an incredibly profound state.

Although he appeared extremely calm.

However, around his body, a gentle breeze began to stir. This gust surrounded him, spinning faster and faster, eventually transforming into a mighty wind.

Whirr!

The gust swept by.

Instantly causing countless manuals to rustle noisily.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be an enemy attack?"

This kind of aura immediately drew the attention of the inner guards.

In the moment.

Several figures were quickly alarmed.

Understand this.

The Martial Arts Arena inner layer is filled with treasures.

If an enemy broke in, the resulting loss would be immeasurable.

"Hmm?"

Just then.

Deep in the Martial Arts Arena.

In a seemingly ordinary small courtyard, a pair of eyes slowly opened. These eyes were profoundly deep, like the night sky, as if they could see through the void with a mere glance.

When his gaze fell on Ye Qingchen.

A look of realization appeared on his face.

"No need to panic, it's just a young man entering a state of sword comprehension!"

As his voice descended softly.

The figures that had been hastily rushing stopped upon hearing it, then quietly disappeared as if they had never been there.

"Interesting! So young, yet able to comprehend three second-layer Sword Intents, a rare sight in Celestial Peak Country..."

The gaze stayed quietly on Ye Qingchen for a moment.

Then.

Closed silently.

"I see!"

A moment later.

Ye Qingchen opened his eyes.

As his eyes opened, the gusts swirling around him also quietly ceased.

"I actually already mastered the first move!"

Looking again at the manual in his hand.

Ye Qingchen's eyes flashed with an unimaginable joy.

One must know.

The profound tier top-grade techniques are extremely deep.

The incomplete manual of Thunder Shock Pointing took him a full half month to fully understand. Yet he had just obtained this Jinghong Swordsmanship, and already comprehended the first move!

"Could it be the effect of the Sword Intent?"

Recalling the clarity he felt while comprehending the sword, Ye Qingchen had already guessed some of the reasons.

"It seems this Sword Intent has much I haven't yet tapped into!"

Ye Qingchen thought as he put away the "Jinghong Sword".

On the other side.

Jiang Churan and Hong Man had also chosen their martial techniques.

But with differing styles and distanced locations, they hadn't sensed the previous anomaly, and now they left together, going to the Silver Robe Steward for registration.

"Purging Demon Staff Technique, Star Severing Sword, Jinghong Sword... Hmm?" The Silver Robe Steward, upon seeing the manual Ye Qingchen chose, furrowed his brows: "Young Master Ye, you want to choose this swordsmanship?"

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Churan asked in confusion from the side.

She didn't understand why he reacted so strongly.

Ye Qingchen was also puzzled, looking over to hear the Silver Robe Steward say: "Although this Jinghong Sword is immensely powerful, it's extremely difficult to train. It's said that previous selectors from the Martial Arts Arena spent a long time without comprehending it. You still have some time to exchange it for another!"

Understanding it was a kind reminder, Ye Qingchen replied with a smile: "Thank you, Steward Liu, but I'll choose this swordsmanship."

"Alright!"

Seeing Ye Qingchen's insistence, the Silver Robe Steward could only relent.

Of course.

For just one profound tier top-grade cultivation technique, Ye Qingchen still felt somewhat insufficient, so the Silver Robe Steward agreed that if there were any tasks in the future, he would keep an eye out for Ye Qingchen and notify him promptly.

As Ye Qingchen and his group walked out with the Silver Robe Steward seeing them off,

A Copper Robe Steward hurried over, whispering a few words to the Silver Robe Steward. The Silver Robe Steward's face turned cold, "Those guys, really persistent!"

"What's going on?" Ye Qingchen asked.

"Lin Fan, whom I drove away earlier, hasn't left and has been waiting outside the Martial Arts Arena. I suspect he wants to confront you!" The Silver Robe Steward snorted coldly, looking at Ye Qingchen, "Shall I drive them away?"

"No need! I'll see what they want." Ye Qingchen shook his head.

He knew.

Relying on the Martial Arts Arena could only temporarily drive these people away, but couldn't protect him forever.

Since you're coming for me, I'll see what you intend to do!

As they exited the Martial Arts Arena, Ye Qingchen immediately saw Lin Fan and numerous disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect standing at the entrance. Behind them were many onlookers.

Lin Fan didn't drive away these onlookers; on the contrary, he hoped for more.

After all.

He had been humiliated in the Martial Arts Arena before and now intended to use the crowd to re-establish his dominance, reclaiming the Sword Sect's lost face!

"Ye Qingchen, you finally came out! I thought you'd hide in the Martial Arts Arena forever like a coward!" Lin Fan coldly said as he saw Ye Qingchen step out, "We still have unfinished business! My master was dismissed because of you, today, I'm here to seek justice! Do you dare to face me?"

"Lin Fan, daring to cause trouble at my Martial Arts Arena entrance?" The Silver Robe Steward's gaze turned icy.

"Haha, how could I dare? However, honorable Silver Robe Steward, this is a personal matter between Ye Qingchen and me. Surely you won't intervene in this too?"

Lin Fan sneered, having been banned from the Martial Arts Arena, he had nothing to lose.

Previously humiliated and expelled, he naturally wanted to recover his lost honor.

The Silver Robe Steward's expression condensed; he hadn't expected Lin Fan would dare speak to him in such a manner. Nonetheless, Lin Fan seemed unrestrained, fixing his gaze mockingly on Ye Qingchen:

"Ye Qingchen, if you're afraid, then forget it! A so-called Newcomer King, yet doesn't dare accept my challenge... How disgraceful! What right do you have to be this Newcomer King?"

Swoosh!

At that moment, countless gazes collectively fell on Ye Qingchen.
