"Ye Qingchen!"

When those three words were shouted out.

Everyone was stunned to see a figure charging forward, bringing with it a long wave of air, rushing in from afar, like a raging dragon riding the waves.

The distance of several hundred meters was covered in an instant, and in the eyes of countless shocked people, he suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Cong.

At the same time, he suddenly lifted his foot and stomped down like thunder.

"Bang!"

A loud noise.

Accompanied by a cloud of dust, the entire square seemed to tremble slightly.

"What's going on?"

Everyone looked on in astonishment.

In the dust, a figure faintly emerged. That figure stood in the dust like an ancient statue. And Yuan Cong, was stomped down by him.

Cracks spread wildly from Yuan Cong's back in all directions.

"What did I just witness...he actually stomped Yuan Cong beneath his foot?"

A young genius who witnessed the whole scene was dumbfounded on the spot.

However.

No one could answer him; everyone was shocked by this scene. Thunderbolt Hand Yuan Cong, ranked twenty-seventh on the genius list, couldn't even resist and was stomped down just like that?

"Is it him?"

Lu Ming's pupils contracted, a chill running through his whole body.

"Hissss!"

An Mengxiang also gasped, filled with fear.

This young man kept refreshing her worldview, first killing Chu Mingyang, then defeating Lu Ming, and now stomping down Yuan Cong with a single step!

"What are you doing? Let Yuan Cong go immediately!"

Meanwhile.

On the high platform, the elders of the Eight Major Sects also took notice of the situation here.

The elder from Celestial Essence Sword Sect directly spoke out in a chilling tone.

This Yuan Cong was a talent they had recruited in advance, set to join Celestial Essence Sword Sect after the three trials, how could they allow him to be trampled on by others! Wasn't this akin to having their sect trampled upon?

"Let go?"

Ye Qingchen cast a cold glance over, recognizing the identity of the elder from Celestial Essence Sword Sect, and a sneer involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Celestial Essence Sword Sect, it's been a while! I didn't expect your sect to be so fond of such worthless trash!"

"What?"

The elder's face turned cold upon hearing this.

However.

Before he could react, he heard Ye Qingchen speak lightly: "When facing the Sword Patterned Snake Demon King, Yuan Cong not only fled, abandoning his teammates but also used others as a shield..."

As his voice fell, everyone around turned their gazes towards Yuan Cong, filled with disdain and contempt.

This behavior was truly disgraceful!

"That's right!" Jiang Churan and Hong Man also stepped onto the scene at this moment, further confirming Ye Qingchen's words: "Yuan Cong not only fled when facing the Sword Patterned Snake Demon King but also used a boulder to attack Ye Qingchen, diverting trouble onto others!"

Yuan Cong shuddered upon hearing this.

Jiang Churan's face was full of frost as she looked at him with disgust. Meanwhile, Hong Man glared fiercely, gritting his teeth.

"Elder Xie, save me..."

Yuan Cong knew the situation was hopeless and now only sought to survive.

He lay on the ground, feeling as if a boulder was crushing him, his ribcage seemingly about to fracture. Desperately, he cast his gaze towards where Celestial Essence Sword Sect was, seeking their help.

Elder Xie clenched his jaw at the sight.

In his heart, he hated Yuan Cong for doing such a disgraceful thing, but he hated Ye Qingchen even more for publicly exposing this matter, showing no respect to him as the Instructor Elder.

But saving a life was crucial, and he had no choice but to say, "We will handle this matter impartially! Since you have returned alive, there's no need to pursue it further... Release him!"

"Didn't you hear Elder Xie? Let me go quickly!" Yuan Cong, as if grabbing a lifeline, shouted loudly.

Ye Qingchen raised an eyebrow, a sneer forming at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, the foot on Yuan Cong's chest was slowly lifted.

Seeing this.

Elder Xie smiled slightly, and Yuan Cong also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before everyone could react, Ye Qingchen's foot, with even more ferocity than before, stomped down hard.

"Ah!"

Amidst a wretched scream, Yuan Cong's skull was crushed on the spot, dead beyond dead.

"What are you doing?"

Elder Xie was seething with rage, completely unexpectedly, Ye Qingchen would dare to defy his order.

"What am I doing?" Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes, staring directly at the other, speaking word by word: "Naturally, I'm going to kill him! I'm the one who was framed, not you! Why should I not pursue it just because you said so?"

"You..."

Elder Xie clenched his fists, True Qi surging throughout his body, almost ready to act.

"What, do you still want to make a move on me?" Ye Qingchen said with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Elder Xie suddenly calmed down, realizing the young geniuses in the square were looking at him with incredibly puzzled gazes.

Originally, it was Yuan Cong who was in the wrong. If he made a move, it would be a grave error.

It might even dishearten everyone.

The other elders also showed a hint of surprise, but they didn't speak up.

The Eight Major Sects compete against each other, Celestial Essence Sword Sect losing face was naturally beneficial for them.

"So this is Ye Qingchen? It's rumored outside that his swordsmanship is sharp; I didn't expect his physical strength to be exceptional too!"

"Indeed, he even brought two others back from the Sword Patterned Snake Demon King, this kind of mentality and responsibility is truly rare!"

Several elders exchanged glances, immediately showing interest in recruiting Ye Qingchen.

Among them.

The Celestial Secret Sect elder already loudly shouted, "Ye Qingchen is it? If you join our sect now, I promise you a Profound Level low-grade martial skill!"

Profound Level low-grade was two ranks lower than Zhao Yue.

Even so, it attracted a lot of attention.

After all.

Getting the Eight Major Sects to compete for recruits was something only the top three on the genius list achieved, besides Ye Qingchen!

As soon as the words fell, another Instructor Elder spoke up, "Join our Infinite Sect, we will also offer you the same conditions! We will definitely treat you well!"

Elder Xie looked troubled, of course, he wanted to recruit Ye Qingchen too.

However, given the recent conflict between them, he anticipated Ye Qingchen wouldn't agree.

Watching everyone scrambling to recruit him, he sneered internally.

What's the rush to snatch him up? He may not even pass the second trial! And even if he defeated Yuan Cong, he'd just replace him, ranking twenty-sixth.

There were many who are stronger than him!

Why bother with this kid?

However.

As he thought this, he saw Ye Qingchen step forward, cupping his hands towards the recruiting Instructor Elders, and apologetically said, "Thank you, elders, for your kind offer, but the third trial is not yet over, I want to become the Newcomer King first!"

Boom!

At his words, the entire square fell silent.

Including Elder Xie, everyone turned their faces towards Ye Qingchen with strange expressions.

Only Lei Qianjue wore a look of mockery, with a half-smile.
