He closed his eyes tightly, and the breath in his body was rising.
Finally, as a sound like breaking through the shackles came from his body, his surge of breath gradually stabilized.
"Finally a breakthrough..."
Ye Qingchen opened his eyes and felt the true energy flowing slowly in his body, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Now he is at the first level of Guiyuan Realm!
Originally, according to his deduction, it would probably take half a month for him to advance to the Guiyuan Realm.
But in this inner courtyard full of spiritual energy, his time was shortened to five days!
What an amazing speed!
"Now, even if I face that Zhang Kuangxiang again, even if I don't use the 'Trapped Spirit Mist Formation', I will definitely be able to defeat him!"
Ye Qingchen clenched his fists, full of confidence appearing on his face.
For him, every major realm crossing will double his strength.
"The past few days have passed, and I don't know how Ning Suyan is doing now..."
Ye Qingchen thought for a while and decided to go out to see Ning Suyan.
As soon as he went out, Ye Qingchen saw Xiao Lin sitting on a chair outside the house.
"Elder Xiao...ah, no, it's good morning, master."
Ye Qingchen almost changed his mind.
"Haha, I finally made a breakthrough."
Xiao Lin nodded with satisfaction, threw a token and threw it over.
"This is your identity token. With this token, you can enter and exit the inner and outer courtyards at will. You can also use this token to register when taking on some inner courtyard tasks."
Ye Qingchen took the token.
There are three characters "Ye Qingchen" engraved on it.
What makes Ye Qingchen more concerned is that although the material and appearance of this token are very beautiful.
But only these three words...
Ye Qingchen couldn't help but glance at Xiao Lin: "Master, are you ugly when you usually write?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Xiao Lin quickly pretended to cough a few times and said, "What do you know? This is called art!"
He originally wanted to continue explaining, but when he met Ye Qingchen's strange look, he couldn't help but give up.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore."
He waved his hand and suddenly his voice changed:
"By the way, a big event suddenly happened in the inner courtyard two days ago."
"This important matter is related to you."
related to me?
Ye Qingchen was startled.
"Liu Juefeng, the direct disciple of the Seventh Elder, spread the word and said he would challenge you personally!"
Xiao Lin said calmly: "Although I temporarily rejected him because you are still in seclusion."
"But he didn't give up. He said he would wait for you to come out and compete."
"Liu Juefeng...Liu Changkong's eldest son?"
Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Are you finally going to face off against the eldest son of the Liu family?
"Now these things are being spread everywhere in the inner courtyard, and even some elders are interested in seeing how the disciples I have accepted are doing."
Xiao Lin snorted and said, "You want to see me make a fool of myself in public, but there's no way!"
Ye Qingchen smiled and said, "Does Master think I should go?"
"..."
Xiao Lin was silent for a while and shook his head: "Although I have full confidence in you, Liu Juefeng is not a soft persimmon."
"He is now at the third level of the Star Gathering Realm. He can break through at any time and enter the fourth level of the Star Gathering Realm."
"You have only returned to the first level of Yuan Realm now. Judging from your performance in defeating Zhang Kuangxiang, even if you can fight almost across a large realm, you are still no match for him."
"So my teacher's advice is... don't go."
Xiao Lin said solemnly: "His purpose is obviously to avenge the Liu family and to take revenge on you. If you go to challenge and are defeated by him, your end will not be much better."
"Even if the inner courtyard clearly stipulates that disciples are not allowed to kill each other, it will not matter if they maliciously attack each other during the competition."
"If he hits you hard during the battle, even I won't be able to stand up and speak for you."
After listening to what Xiao Lin said, Ye Qingchen shook his head and smiled.
Of course he understood what Xiao Lin said.
But that's not his style.
Xiao Lin frowned slightly when he saw him looking like this:
"Do you really want to go? Can't you just endure it?"
"That guy will definitely attack you maliciously during the battle. If your foundation is damaged, your future martial arts path may be completely ruined!"
Ye Qingchen smiled and said: "Others are already kicking their noses. If you continue to remain silent at this time, it will only make others more arrogant."
"Sometimes, you have to show your strength so that others don't dare to act rashly."
"What's more, it's hard to say whether he will be able to hurt me by then."
Seeing Ye Qingchen's confident look, Xiao Lin couldn't help but shake his head.
"Oh, forget it, then it's up to you."
Xiao Lin knew that Ye Qingchen was a very shrewd person.
Since he said this, it means that he is really sure that he will not be seriously injured!
Xiao Lin stood up from his chair and walked out of the courtyard.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet that boy for a while."
The center of the inner courtyard.
A competition platform.
A lot of inner court disciples have gathered here.
"Hey, have you heard? I heard that Senior Brother Liu is going to challenge Elder Xiao's disciples!"
"Elder Xiao? Hasn't he not accepted a disciple for a long time? Where did the disciple come from?"
"Your news has fallen behind! Just a few days ago, someone saw Elder Xiao bringing a young man to his residence!"
"What else can this kind of treatment be like if you don't accept a disciple? What's more, when Senior Brother Liu went to see Elder Xiao two days ago, Elder Xiao also admitted it!"
"But I guess that Elder Xiao's disciple will not come today. According to Elder Xiao, his disciple seems to be in retreat."
"Retreat? I think he is afraid! He doesn't dare to come out and fight with Senior Brother Liu!"
"I don't know why Senior Brother Liu suddenly targeted a guy who appeared out of nowhere..."
The disciples in the audience were talking a lot, and their eyes were cast towards the edge of the competition platform from time to time.
Sitting there were Liu Juefeng and several of his followers.
"Brother Liu, I think that boy won't come after all."
Zhang Kuangxiang, who was standing behind him, said loudly.
Liu Juefeng did not respond.
To his left, a tall, strong man suddenly made a sudden noise.
"Zhang Kuangxiang, are you really sure that guy is strong?"
"If you are really strong, why haven't you dared to take on Brother Liu's challenge until now?"
"Haha, after all, Zhang Kuangxiang was defeated by that guy before, so he will naturally think that he is very strong."
Standing to the right of Liu Juefeng, a thin man with a feminine face sneered:
"It's like he was defeated by his elder brother and thought he was very strong."
"But there is a difference between the strong and the powerful..."
Being ridiculed by the feminine man, Zhang Kuangxiang dared not speak out in anger.
Because these two people are Liu Juefeng's right-hand men.
The tall and strong man named Yan Pan was at the second level of the Star Gathering Realm. He was extremely powerful. No one in the same realm could withstand his full blow head-on.
The feminine man's name is Hua Qianshu, who is also at the second level of Star Gathering Realm. His weird martial arts skills can give his opponents headaches.
At this moment, Liu Juefeng suddenly opened his eyes and looked not far away.
"coming."
He spoke calmly.
On the other side of the competition stage, the gathered disciples were seen making way for one another.
Xiao Lin was walking slowly from that side.
Behind him, followed Ye Qingchen.
"That's Elder Xiao's disciple? It doesn't look like there's anything special about it?"
"Looking at the aura on his body, it seems like he just broke through to the Guiyuan realm?"
"What? You just arrived at the Guiyuan realm? Didn't you just meet the minimum requirements for entering the inner courtyard? How could Elder Xiao fall in love with this guy?!"
For a moment, the disciples around him became restless.
They were really unconvinced.
Why can this guy who has just returned to the first level of Yuan Realm become Elder Xiao's disciple?!
However, Xiao Lin seemed not to hear and walked straight towards Liu Juefeng.
Seeing Xiao Lin approaching, Liu Juefeng stood up from his chair unhurriedly.
"I've met Elder Xiao."
Liu Juefeng bowed.
Yan Pan and others behind him also bowed.
"Liu Juefeng, I know you have some grudge against this guy."
Xiao Lin said calmly: "But when you resolve your grudges with him later, I hope you can understand the severity."
"His potential is so great that he is a rare talent for our Xuanyu Academy!"
"Maybe because of him, our Xuanyu College will win the first place from Qingyun College in the 'Battle of One Hundred Colleges' after three months!"
"If possible, I hope the two of you can turn their hostility into friendship."
After Xiao Lin finished speaking, Liu Juefeng did not look at him, but looked at Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen did not shy away, but looked closely at him with cold eyes.
Immediately, Liu Juefeng withdrew his gaze and said with a faint smile:
"Elder Xiao seems to take him too seriously."
"His potential is good, but if he is too arrogant, he might suddenly die young one day?"
Liu Juefeng raised his lips: "After all, there is no shortage of geniuses who die prematurely in this world."
Xiao Lin stared at Liu Juefeng coldly.
Liu Juefeng showed no fear and still had that faint smile on her face.
Just when Xiao Lin was about to get angry, Ye Qingchen suddenly stood up.
He looked at Liu Juefeng, who had a faint smile on his face, and a smile also appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Liu Juefeng, since you are so eager to teach me a lesson, I will give you this opportunity."
Hearing this, Liu Juefeng was startled and immediately felt funny.
"You? Give me a chance? Just with your strength that just broke through to the Guiyuan realm?"
"good!"
Ye Qingchen chuckled and nodded.
"If I defeat you today, from now on, you will not be able to cause trouble to me again!"
"Not only that! You also need to hand over 60% of your cultivation resources to me!"
