Lin Fan's Spirit Rain Sword Technique was vast and boundless, enveloping the entire area. Each drop of rain was like a powerful arrow, capable of piercing through metal and iron. This vast sweep was like the endless rainfall.

But the result.

Only the sound of a sword humming was heard.

All the onlookers witnessed an unforgettable scene. A heaven-shocking sword light burst forth like an explosion, dazzling to the extreme.

So brilliant that one couldn't even bear to look directly at it.

One could see the sword rain covering the sky, under this sword, melting rapidly like spring snow under the scorching sun.

Moreover, in the blink of an eye, it tore through the void and blasted in front of Lin Fan.

"Not good!"

At this moment.

Lin Fan's expression finally changed.

He retreated backward desperately, but how could his retreat match the speed of Ye Qingchen's sword?

"Puff!"

Under countless incredulous gazes.

This sword.

Pierced directly through Lin Fan's chest, and without losing momentum, slammed his body heavily onto the ground!

Lin Fan's body made a huge dent in the ground, creating a large pit.

"Ah!"

His chest was pierced through, causing a heart-wrenching pain, and he fainted on the spot.

"Jinghong Swordsmanship!"

"That's Lightning Chase!"

"He just got this sword technique not long ago, and already mastered the first move!"

The Silver Robe Steward didn't even glance at the fallen Lin Fan; his eyes were completely fixed on Ye Qingchen.

That previous sword had thoroughly made him understand.

Ye Qingchen actually learned the first move of Jinghong Swordsmanship in less than half an hour!

At this moment, Ye Qingchen flicked his Silver Dragon Sword, 'swish', the long sword returned to its sheath. His manner was effortless, exuding ease.

Outside the Martial Arts Arena, there was dead silence.

The onlookers were completely stunned. They looked at Ye Qingchen with their mouths agape and couldn't believe it when they looked at the completely unconscious Lin Fan, eyes filled with disbelief.

Then.

A wave of screams and shouts swept across.

"Lin Fan is defeated! Three moves, and he's already defeated!"

"Ye Qingchen defeated Lin Fan; he actually defeated Lin Fan, who is at Spiritual Sea Ninth Heaven and on the Bronze Ranking!"

"Doesn't that prove that Ye Qingchen also has the strength to be on the Bronze Ranking? This Newcomer King is truly terrifying. The sect selection assembly hasn't ended long, and he already made it to the Bronze Ranking? He must be the fastest to make it to the Bronze Ranking in history!"

"Terrifying, simply terrifying! This generation's Newcomer King is simply a monster!"

The gazes towards Ye Qingchen from the crowd were filled with awe and shock.

This was respect for strength.

And the disciples of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect were even more scared into silence, their faces pale. Even Lin Fan wasn't Ye Qingchen's match, let alone them? What made them even more disheartened was that they bet everything to help Lin Fan fight against Ye Qingchen.

Now, not only were they utterly defeated, but they also suffered heavy losses.

"Ye Qingchen, you truly surprise me!"

On the side.

The shock in the Silver Robe Steward's eyes was no less than anyone else's.

Originally, he believed Ye Qingchen was not Lin Fan's match.

Originally, he thought Ye Qingchen couldn't master Jinghong Swordsmanship.

But now.

Ye Qingchen proved his strength with solid facts.

"It seems, I underestimated your potential..."

"Haha, we made a fortune this time!"

On the other side, Hong Man had already brought over thirteen lower profound skills and a storage ring.

Although many Celestial Essence Sword Sect disciples were very unwilling, Lin Fan lost, and that's a fact. Moreover, they didn't dare to defy it, only trembled as they handed over their bets.

"This ring..."

Ye Qingchen had heard of storage rings but had never seen one. The most he had seen was only yellow-grade storage bags. Such spatial treasures were extremely rare and precious.

He casually picked up the storage ring, and his consciousness entered it.

Instantly.

His consciousness entered a vast gray space.

This space was hundreds of feet large.

Inside, it was empty.

"So, this is a storage ring! It will relieve my pressing needs; I can store excess items inside it!"

He thought to himself, and with a thought.

The dozen martial techniques were stored within.

At this time.

Lin Fan had slowly woken up.

After losing in public, he no longer had the face to stay, not daring to utter a word.

Ye Qingchen glanced at the storage ring on his finger, then at Lin Fan, and said coldly, "Lin Fan, I'll give you a piece of advice! What Heaven does can be forgiven, what one does to oneself cannot!"

What one does to oneself...

Lin Fan's body trembled, his face changing repeatedly, finally turning ashen.

Today's matter.

It was he who sought out Ye Qingchen first.

If he hadn't been aggressive, how could he end up in such disgrace at the Martial Arts Arena, losing a storage ring and thirteen martial techniques from the Celestial Essence Sword Sect disciples?

If this isn't self-inflicted harm, what is?

At that moment.

Silently and battered, he walked away.

"Steward Liu, thank you for your righteousness!"

After Lin Fan and others left, Ye Qingchen cupped his hands towards the Silver Robe Steward. Having lent a hand multiple times today, now with Lin Fan's matter settled, he naturally had to express gratitude.

"Young Master Ye, it was just a small effort on my part. However, your performance was truly surprising!" The Silver Robe Steward waved his hand in embarrassment, "I misjudged! Now, you have defeated Lin Fan and replaced him, ranking seventy-second on the Bronze Ranking!"

Indeed.

He had misjudged multiple times.

The strength and potential Ye Qingchen displayed had far exceeded his estimations.

"However, Young Master Ye, I must remind you. The Bronze Ranking is not as simple as you think... Those ranked ahead on the Bronze Ranking can defeat Lin Fan within three moves, some even in one move!"

"Some can even slay Profound Pill powerhouses!"

"Oh? I understand!"

Ye Qingchen nodded upon hearing this.

Indeed.

Earlier, after defeating Lin Fan, he had underestimated the Bronze Ranking. But the Silver Robe Steward's words were a wake-up call. To kill Profound Pill powerhouses with a Spiritual Sea Realm cultivation was certainly frightening!

Never be arrogant in victory nor discouraged in defeat.

The Silver Robe Steward, seeing this scene, raised his evaluation of Ye Qingchen even further.

After a brief conversation.

Declined the Silver Robe Steward's invitation to stay longer.

This time, having been out for too long, it was time to return.

At the moment.

Bid farewell to the Silver Robe Steward, and together they set out on the road back to the Taotian Palace.

Yet.

Ye Qingchen did not know that his battle today outside the Martial Arts Arena once again shook the Eight Major Sects, shaking the entire Bronze Ranking!
