"They're coming, they're coming! Is it finally about to start?"

"Soon we'll be able to see the strong ones from the Bronze Rankings!"

"Where are they? Why haven't they come out yet? Why can't I see them?"

For the average disciple,

the Bronze Rankings are truly something distant. For them, it's like another world altogether. If not for the upcoming Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference, even just hearing some news would be difficult for them.

Amidst countless watchful eyes,

one by one, figures began to enter in succession, all heading toward the seventy-two bronze seats.

"That's Li Zhong from our Celestial Essence Sword Sect, ranked ninth on the Bronze Rankings!"

"Liu Yu from our Shifang Sword Sect is also up there!"

"Oh dear, why did only Zhou Haotian and Wei Changgeng from our Supreme Sect come? Where are the others? Could they have been knocked down? Impossible, their strength is so great!"

"Those are people from our Xingluo Sect..."

The appearance of each strong person from the Bronze Rankings would incite a boil among the crowd.

These people represent their own sects. The more people from their sect, the more proud they feel.

Looking at those seated on the bronze chairs,

some were filled with envy, some with resentment, while others felt infinite regret. Of course, some eyes burned with battle ardor. Those who ascend to these seventy-two bronze seats are undeniably the leading figures of the eight major sects, existences only to be looked up to!

In particular, the appearances of the leading figures on the Bronze Rankings each trigger a wave of uproarious acclaim.

Today,

they will face challenges from strong individuals of the other eight major sects.

After defeating all challengers, among them will compete the final seven to participate in the ultimate Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference!

"Hahaha, it seems our Celestial Essence Sword Sect has the most people! This is something you can't compare to!" The Celestial Essence Sword Sect Leader, seeing that the most people on the bronze seats were from his sect, couldn't help but laugh with pride.

Beside him, the Xingluo Sect Leader snorted coldly and said, "The qualification competition hasn't started yet. Though your sect has many people, so what? It's possible that many will be knocked off! Moreover, unlike your Celestial Essence Sword Sect, our people from the Bronze Rankings weren't taken down by Ye Qingchen!"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Essence Sword Sect Leader's face turned cold.

Understand this:

Among the eight major sects, none had deeper grievances with Ye Qingchen than their Celestial Essence Sword Sect.

The other sects were alright; they missed out on Ye Qingchen during the sect selection conference, but that was that, and there weren't many conflicts later on. Yet, the Celestial Essence Sword Sect clashed with Ye Qingchen the most.

First, Zhao Tianyu was crippled, followed by Elder Yao being dismissed.

Particularly, Lin Fan on the Bronze Rankings was taken down by Ye Qingchen, further shaming the Celestial Essence Sword Sect.

"Ye Qingchen doesn't seem to be here!" As more and more strong individuals from the Bronze Rankings took the stage, the Supreme Sect Leader suddenly noticed something, "Could it be that he was knocked down?"

"Hmph, would he dare to meddle in this kind of setting?" The Celestial Essence Sword Sect Leader snorted coldly, "Perhaps upon seeing this scene, he wouldn't dare to come!"

The others nodded one after another.

What kind of setting is this?

The qualification competition for the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference, each of the seventy-two individuals on the bronze seats being stronger than him?

Even if he possesses the ability to defeat Lin Fan, so what?

Today, those who came to challenge the Bronze Rankings, which of them is not stronger than Lin Fan, which is not a Spiritual Sea Ninth Heaven expert? Under such circumstances, perhaps Ye Qingchen being a coward is the most correct choice!

Everyone smirked coldly.

They didn't believe Ye Qingchen would show up.

"It seems that Ye Qingchen won't be coming!"

From afar,

Han Yun observed as more and more individuals took the bronze seats, with fewer vacancies left, yet Ye Qingchen had not appeared. He couldn't help but shake his head and sarcastically remark:

"Indeed, a joke remains a joke! With his strength, how could he dare to appear in such a setting today?"

"Maybe he's tied up with something important..." An Mengxiang couldn't help but defend.

"What could be more important than the Bronze Rankings?" Han Yun blinked and advised, "I think you should stop thinking about him."

An Mengxiang's expression instantly turned sorrowful upon hearing this.

Indeed!

What could be more important than the Bronze Rankings, more important than the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference?

"Perhaps he was defeated long ago and won't appear again!" Han Yun joked with a mocking smile.

However.

As soon as she finished speaking,

suddenly, a delicate figure emerged from the crowd, walking straight toward the bronze seats.

"Huh, who is that young man?"

"How dare he go up there?"

Those who saw this scene were taken aback, their hearts puzzled.

Some familiar with the Bronze Rankings furrowed their brows, "Who is this guy, does he belong to the Bronze Rankings?"

"No idea!" Someone sneered, "This brat must have a screw loose; with the eight major sect leaders present, he still dares to act up here? Brazenly stepping forward, utterly unaware of life or death!"

"Could it be?"

Some people's expressions changed, suddenly thinking of something.

Under eyes either surprised, shocked, or confused,

the young man walked directly to the last bronze seat and sat down.

At this moment.

An Mengxiang finally reacted, excitedly looking at the young man on the bronze seat:

"See that! Ye Qingchen!"

"He's here! He really ascended the Bronze Rankings!"

Beside her, Han Yun was dumbstruck, unable to close her mouth in astonishment!

Only then did she truly believe, that this young man had truly ascended the Bronze Rankings.

"Ye Qingchen!"

"He's Ye Qingchen!"

Instantly.

The previously silent training field exploded in an unprecedented, thunderous cheer.

Understand this,

they had heard rumors recently.

This year's Newcomer King had ascended the Bronze Rankings. But it was merely a joke to everyone, and now with Ye Qingchen sitting there, they could no longer laugh.

"This brat actually dared to come!"

The Celestial Essence Sword Sect Leader abruptly stood up.

The other seven sect leaders also narrowed their eyes, all focusing on the young man in the arena.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Celestial Essence Sword Sect Leader, looking at the slender figure with a face ashen with anger, said:

"Since you are willing to make a fool of yourself, no one can stop you! Let's see if after today you can still sit on the bronze seat as steady as Mount Tai!"

Dong——

With the sound of the copper gong,

the previously boisterous training field suddenly fell silent.
