Newcomer King!

As Lin Fan's words echoed in the arena, it was like a thunderclap, igniting the surrounding atmosphere.

"Newcomer King? This young boy, he's the Newcomer King?"

"But, a Newcomer King of such stature doesn't dare to accept a challenge from an ordinary person? Isn't that too embarrassing?"

Many turned their gaze towards Ye Qingchen, now filled with amusement and mockery.

However.

Someone sneered, "Do you think the opponent is just an ordinary figure? He is Lin Fan from the Bronze List of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect!"

Gasp!

The sound of people drawing in a sharp breath was heard all around.

Suddenly, the eyes directed towards Ye Qingchen changed to those of pity.

"So he's an existence on the Bronze List! No wonder he's so arrogant!"

"Indeed, even if the Newcomer King is powerful, compared to the Bronze List, it's like heaven and earth..."

Everyone shook their heads repeatedly.

One must know.

The Bronze List consists of seventy-two names.

Each one is an invincible existence at the same level. Defeating a cultivator of the same realm is as easy as eating or drinking. A Newcomer King would indeed not be taken seriously by them.

"Will he agree?"

For a while, everyone's gaze once again turned towards Ye Qingchen.

"Young Master Ye, don't agree!" At this moment, even the Silver Robe Steward, worried, advised hurriedly: "This Lin Fan is ranked seventy-second on the Bronze List."

"Although his cultivation has just reached the Spiritual Sea Ninth Heaven, he replaced a previous top expert on the Bronze List. His strength is not to be underestimated; he's been quite a sensation recently."

The Silver Robe Steward tried earnestly to persuade in a low voice.

Though Ye Qingchen was strong, how could he compare to Lin Fan?

In his view, Lin Fan's cultivation at the Spiritual Sea Ninth Heaven was already terrifying enough. Moreover, after three years of cultivation in the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, Lin Fan mastered several Profound Grade Top cultivation techniques. Neither in practical experience nor heritage could he be compared to Ye Qingchen.

Given Ye Qingchen's potential, after another year, defeating him would naturally not be an issue, but right now, it's too early!

"What? Ye Qingchen, do you dare or not?" Seeing that Ye Qingchen said nothing, Lin Fan's smile deepened: "If you don't dare, then just kneel and kowtow to me three times, and I might let you go today!"

"Haha, Ye Qingchen, you, the Newcomer King, are truly spineless! You don't even dare to accept the challenge!"

"Seems like you just have this little bit of skill!"

For a while.

The many disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect laughed aloud, scornfully mocking.

Zhao Yue was filled with endless admiration.

This is an existence on the Bronze List!

With just a few words, he's even humiliated the other party to their face, and the other party doesn't dare to speak up.

Others also shook their heads repeatedly.

The gap in strength is too significant, no matter how much of a Newcomer King Ye Qingchen is, how could he dare to challenge an expert on the Bronze List?

"What are you saying?"

Hong Man was so angry that veins popped on his forehead.

Jiang Churan gripped his longsword tightly, watching Ye Qingchen expectantly.

Just when everyone was either sneering, sighing, or silent, thinking that Ye Qingchen would not possibly accept the challenge.

Suddenly, Ye Qingchen raised his head and scoffed:

"Alright, I accept the challenge!"

These words made the entire arena fall into shock.

"What, did I hear wrong? Is this kid really going to accept the challenge?"

People around widened their eyes in disbelief.

Even the many disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect were filled with incredulity.

The Silver Robe Steward was even more startled.

But then, he shook his head secretly. Though they hadn't known each other long, he understood Ye Qingchen's character. Once Ye Qingchen made up his mind, it was hard for others to change it.

'Oh well!'

'Though Ye Qingchen has deep potential, this character needs some tempering. If he loses to Lin Fan this time, it might not be a bad thing for him.'

Having thought that, the Silver Robe Steward stopped trying to dissuade him.

"Really!"

Lin Fan's eyes revealed a hint of wild joy.

He never expected Ye Qingchen would actually dare to accept the challenge.

Suddenly.

His eyes glanced at the Jinghong Sword in Ye Qingchen's hand, a Profound Tier Top-Grade Martial Technique!

Instantly, his heart stirred, and he sneered:

"How about we add some stakes? If I lose, I'll leave and never appear before you again. But if you lose, give me that sword technique of yours!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Ye Qingchen gave him a sideways smile and said, "We can increase the stakes, but only if you can offer something of equal value, otherwise no deal!"

Equal value?

Lin Fan frowned slightly.

Where could he find something of equal value to the Jinghong Sword now?

"Brother Lin Fan, your ring!" at this moment, a pockmarked face beside him whispered.

Lin Fan was taken aback, suddenly returning to his senses, and immediately took out an antique black ring from his hand, saying: "This ring, a storage ring, was something I got while on a mission for the Celestial Essence Sword Sect!"

"Not enough!"

Ye Qingchen shook his head.

The Silver Robe Steward had previously reminded him that although the ring was of good quality, a Profound Tier Medium-grade item, it still had a gap compared to the Jinghong Sword technique.

"If that's not enough, I'll add my manual, which I previously exchanged from the Martial Arts Arena! Profound Tier Lower!"

Zhao Yue snorted coldly, speaking up.

He harbored deep hatred towards Ye Qingchen.

How could he miss this opportunity to teach Ye Qingchen a lesson?

"Indeed, if it's not enough, there's also me!"

"I too have a Profound Tier Lower-grade martial technique!"

"And me!"

Instantly.

Many disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect spoke up.

They hated having been previously ousted from the Martial Arts Arena because of Ye Qingchen, so they all placed their bets on Lin Fan.

"Add mine too!" Lin Fan, seeing the support of many junior disciples, snorted coldly: "One storage ring, thirteen Profound Tier Lower-grade martial techniques, I wonder if that's enough!"

Ye Qingchen looked deeply at Lin Fan, "Alright! I'll take it!"

Boom!

These words caused an uproar all around.

"He accepted the challenge! Ye Qingchen really dared to accept it!"

"That's a Profound Tier Top-grade item! With his strength, can he surpass Lin Fan? Isn't he handing over the martial technique for nothing?"

The Celestial Essence Sword Sect crowd was determined to win.

This time.

Their Celestial Essence Sword Sect not only avenges past humiliations but also seizes Ye Qingchen's martial technique, how could that not make them jubilant?

They didn't even consider the possibility of Lin Fan losing!

As a Bronze List expert, could Lin Fan possibly be no match for Ye Qingchen?

"Hahaha!"

At this moment.

Lin Fan could no longer hold back his wild laughter.

His eyes sparkled with cold gleam, staring intensely at Ye Qingchen's figure!

"Ye Qingchen, you really dared to accept!"

"Good, good, good!"

"This time, let me show you the power of a Bronze List expert."

After speaking.

He stomped heavily, releasing his cultivation power at the Spiritual Sea Ninth Heaven completely. An overwhelming aura swept up a ring of dust, spreading in all directions.

He raised his right hand, and with a 'clank', the long sword was drawn from its sheath.

Boom!

Simultaneously.

Nearly a hundred flying swords formed around him in the air.

These flying swords shimmered with a blue hue of water, indicating extremely condensed power! It seemed as if they could pierce through space and tear apart the void.

Seeing these flying swords.

Even the Silver Robe Steward's pupils contracted, exclaiming:

"Sword Intent!"

"This is the second level of Dripping Water Sword Intent!"
