"Shi Potian, this is my friend, you'd better show some respect!"

Chu Yao furrowed her brows.

"Did I say anything wrong?"

The young man named Shi Potian looked at Ye Qingchen with disdain, "With such meager skills, I wonder who gave you the courage to participate in the Martial Arts Exchange Conference. Could it be that you're here to make a fool of yourself!"

Ye Qingchen frowned.

This person was truly detestable, possessing an inexplicable sense of superiority and showing contempt for others.

Especially his gaze.

Arrogantly cold, he looked down on Ye Qingchen with contempt in his eyes.

Like a Divine Dragon in the sky, looking down on the ants on the ground.

"Shi Potian, I'll warn you one last time, speak politely to my friend!" Chu Yao's voice suddenly turned cold. After finishing her words, she directly grabbed Ye Qingchen's hand, "We're leaving!"

Witnessing this scene, the young man named Shi Potian's face instantly turned extremely unpleasant.

Especially when he saw Chu Yao actually take Ye Qingchen's hand, an indescribable jealousy surged from his heart.

Because.

From the first moment he laid eyes on Chu Yao, he had already reserved her as his own woman. Unfortunately, Chu Yao always treated him with indifference, even keeping him at a distance, not to mention taking her hand!

But now.

Chu Yao actually took the initiative to hold Ye Qingchen's hand.

This scoundrel, how dare he? How is he worthy?

"Stop!"

Shi Potian suddenly shouted, stepping forward to block Ye Qingchen's path.

"What do you want?" Ye Qingchen's face darkened.

"Since you're here to participate in the Martial Arts Exchange Conference, why not have a match with me?" Shi Potian said mockingly.

"Not interested!"

Ye Qingchen directly refused.

"It's not up to you!"

Shi Potian roared angrily.

Boom!

He took a step forward, appearing in front of Ye Qingchen as if he had shrunk the ground between them.

At the same time, he pointed a finger directly at him!

It was just a simple lift of a finger, yet it conveyed an extraordinary presence, sharp as Sword Qi and irresistible, like thousands of sword tips converging at this finger!

"Shi Potian, dare you?"

Chu Yao was greatly alarmed, wanting to stop him.

But in the next moment.

Ye Qingchen stepped forward, forming a fist, and struck out directly.

Fist and finger collided.

Boom!

Subsequently, the power contained within both of them exploded suddenly.

A terrifying noise reverberated.

Powerful Qi surged everywhere, causing the ground beneath them to shatter open, revealing deep cracks. One crack even extended to the courtyard wall, rapidly spreading into countless spiderweb-like patterns.

Both of them trembled, swiftly retreating several steps backward.

"You actually managed to block one of my moves? You do have some skill!" Shi Potian stared at Ye Qingchen, slightly surprised that his opponent could withstand his finger strike.

However.

His face turned even more unpleasant, "I only used thirty percent of my power with that finger just now!"

"Is that so? I only used twenty percent!"

Ye Qingchen said calmly.

As his words fell.

Laughter erupted all around.

Not only did Shi Potian's face show scorn, but the other youths also sneered with disdain.

"Does this kid have a problem with his head?"

"He actually said he only used twenty percent of his power? Just him? Impossible!"

"Who would believe that!"

Ye Qingchen's expression remained indifferent, as he had no intention of explaining anything to these people.

Shi Potian suddenly restrained his smile, eyes glinting with cold light, "Since you claim to have used only twenty percent, I want to see just how powerful your full strength really is!"

Shi Potian said.

He was already striding towards Ye Qingchen once more.

With each step he took.

His momentum increased slightly.

By the time he reached Ye Qingchen, his aura had peaked.

Under this pressure, everyone felt as if a mountain was crashing down, making it hard to breathe.

"Do you really want to fight?"

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes.

Just as Ye Qingchen prepared to unleash his cultivation and battle Shi Potian, Chu Yao shouted angrily, "Shi Potian, if you dare make a move, I'll have you expelled from Celestial Peak Country! If you don't believe me, feel free to try!"

Chu Yao's fury surged, her words were ironclad and undeniable.

"You..."

Shi Potian, though filled with rage.

Was now helpless, his burgeoning aura could only retreat silently.

The previously tense atmosphere dissipated in this moment.

"Ye Qingchen, let's go!"

Shooting Shi Potian a fierce glare, Chu Yao took Ye Qingchen's hand, and along with Ye Qing, led them out of the courtyard.

Leaving Shi Potian and the others in the courtyard, exchanging confused glances.

"A mere Profound Pill First Heaven weakling, how dare he defy Senior Brother Shi and get close to Princess Chu Yao, he's courting death!" a young man said coldly, "Senior Brother Shi, I'll go kill him!"

"He managed to withstand Senior Brother Shi's thirty percent power finger strike, he might indeed be someone of note within Celestial Peak Country. Besides, with Princess Chu Yao protecting him, killing him would surely bring endless troubles!"

Another young man, dressed in a blue robe, shook his head.

"Will we just let this brat continue to be arrogant?" the first young man frowned.

The blue-robed youth smiled faintly, looking at Shi Potian, and said, "Of course not! This kid came specifically to participate in the Martial Arts Exchange Conference, didn't he? When the time comes, we can openly deal with him! He's bound to accept the challenge!"

Shi Potian remained silent.

He watched the departing figures of Ye Qingchen and Chu Yao, jealousy simmering in his eyes, with intense murderous intent in his heart.

A moment passed.

He nodded heavily, and said:

"Fine, let that brat enjoy himself for now! During the Martial Arts Exchange Conference, he'll learn just how strong I am!"

Elsewhere.

Chu Yao led Ye Qingchen and the others, walking for a good half an incense stick's time before finally stopping.

"Ye Qingchen, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect these people to be so rude and create such a scene!" After stopping, Chu Yao apologized to Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen's expression remained unchanged, "No worries, it's not your fault, they're just too aggressive!"

He naturally wouldn't blame this matter on Chu Yao.

"Yes, Sister Chu Yao, why did you pull my brother away earlier? Those people are so annoying, my brother should have taught them a good lesson!" Ye Qing clenched her little fists.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yao sighed deeply and shook her head:

"Though Shi Potian is detestable, his talent is incredibly high, and his combat strength is quite strong. He shouldn't be underestimated!"

"Really? Can he be more formidable than my brother?"

Ye Qing didn't believe it.

Chu Yao nodded, and said, "Shi Potian is not from our Celestial Peak Country, nor from our Cyan Continent. He is from the Tongxuan Continent's Spirit Coffin Sect!"

"Tongxuan Continent?"

Ye Qingchen's eyes shone.

This was something he never expected!
