Chapter 45: Unleashing Extraordinary Splendor

  On the competitive stage.

  "You... you dare to ruin my meridians!" Ye Qing seemed to have forgotten the pain, his face twisted, those eyes more ferocious than a fierce ghost, he shouted hoarsely: "I want you dead, I want you dead!"

  "You want me to die? On your orders?" Ye Chen's mouth curled slightly as he swung his arm and sneered, "Get out of here!"

  Ye Qing's body suddenly flew like a person in mid-air, directly flying towards the bottom of the competitive stage.

  The entire scene fell silent, the unbelievable voice of Ye Qing still echoing in their ears. Ye Chen had actually crippled Ye Qing's meridians in front of everyone in the Ye family, and in front of the Ye family head!

  This left the Ye family's disciples stunned, they couldn't believe that Ye Chen had such strength, and even more unbelievable was how ruthless and unscrupulous he was, disabling his son right in front of the family head.

  Those illegitimate brothers who were close to Ye Yan felt a great sense of relief in their hearts. Ye Qing, relying on his status as the son of the master, had always been arrogant and domineering, humiliating and oppressing many of the illegitimate sons of the Ye family. Now that they saw him brought so low, they almost couldn't help but applaud with joy.

  Ye Sheng's face was darker than ever, looking at Ye Qing being carried by several family servants, like a soft mud, exactly the appearance of having his meridians severed. He turned his head to Ye Han beside him and gritted his teeth, saying: "You go up and challenge him!"

  "Good!" A cold glint flashed in Ye Han's eyes, Ye Chen's performance made him feel immense pressure, he was definitely the biggest obstacle to his future struggle for the family position, so he couldn't let him grow up, today was a good opportunity to get rid of him.

  "Remember, you can use force if necessary, I'll take the consequences for you." Ye Sheng whispered in Ye Han's ear as he was about to step out.

  Ye Han did not respond, he knew that Ye Sheng only regarded him as a tool, and would never take responsibility for the consequences. Although he understood Ye Sheng's intentions, Ye Han had no reason to refuse, because he himself was also ambitious, hoping to seize the position of family head in the future. Currently, his first priority was to eliminate the biggest and most dangerous obstacle, which was Ye Chen. As for Ye Sheng, Ye Han believed that he had many ways to make him die without a burial place.

  Jian Ye Han walked up onto the competition stage, and those illegitimate disciples led by Ye Sheng's brothers immediately began to shout.

  "Yehan, get rid of that trash."

  "Not bad, you must kill him."

  In their eyes, Ye Han was a master of the seventh rank, and even if Ye Chen was extremely powerful, he couldn't be Ye Han's opponent. Seeing that Ye Qing, who had always tried to curry favor with them, was discarded, they all harbored even more hatred for Ye Chen in their hearts. At the moment when Ye Han stepped up to challenge him, it seemed as though they had already seen the scene of Ye Chen lying limp on the competition stage, unable to live or die.

  They usually fawn over Ye Qing and Ye Sheng, following behind them to flatter, only because Ye Sheng has a great possibility of becoming the master of the Ye family in the future. In today's situation, how can they not make an effort to perform? If possible, they really want to gang up and rush onto the competition stage to surround Ye Chen and beat him until he is disabled.

  Ye Han didn't respond, not even turning his head. He walked step by step onto the competition stage, his eyes fixed on Ye Chen's body, and beneath that calm face was a restless heart, because he wasn't confident in his ability to defeat Ye Chen.

  If he can't defeat Ye Chen, it's highly likely that he'll be overpowered, so from the moment he stepped out of the crowd, he had already lost psychologically and in terms of momentum. Even if he had the strength to confront Ye Chen, there was no chance of winning, let alone his actual strength being far inferior to Ye Chen's.

  Ye Chen had his left hand behind his back and his right hand hanging naturally, gazing calmly at Ye Han. It wasn't until he stepped onto the competition stage and stood three meters away that he spoke in a neither light nor heavy tone: "The knife isn't sharp enough; not only can it not harm the enemy, but it will also get stuck."

  Ye Han's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his gaze piercing Ye Chen, and his heart skipped a beat. Ye Chen's one sentence made him feel an even greater danger, and at this moment he could be certain that as long as Ye Chen was around, he would absolutely never be able to seize the position of family head. Because not only was Ye Chen's strength formidable, but his wisdom was also no lower than his own, and with one glance he had seen through the inner workings. However, the true inner workings were known only to himself; if it were said that it was simply due to Ye Sheng's instigation, that would be utterly impossible.

  "A knife doesn't have to be too sharp to hurt someone." Ye Han said calmly.

  "Make your move, I'll give you a chance. Otherwise, once I make my move, you won't have any chance." The soft voice carried a tone of disdain, Ye Chen's anger burning in his heart, he stood tall, a departure from his usual low-key demeanor. He wasn't afraid of offending some people in the Ye family, because they already had great hostility towards him.

  "Preposterous!"

  Ye Han let out a low shout, his feet moved swiftly as he charged forward with a series of swift steps. His hands danced in the air, unleashing a flurry of punches that sent the air swirling around him at high speed. The sound of rushing wind filled the air, and before Ye Chen could even blink, Ye Han had closed in on him, his fists flying towards his throat, chest, and right foot sweeping across his ribs in a lightning-fast combination of three moves.

  Suddenly, a white shadow flashed in front, and Ye Chen's figure disappeared, only to reappear beside Ye Han the next second, perfectly avoiding three weak point attacks. With one arm stretched out, he swung heavily forward. The entire arm struck Ye Han's chest horizontally, with lightning-fast speed, completing the move in an instant. The speed was so fast that it shocked the elders and family heads in the audience, almost approaching the speed of a peak eighth-stage strongman.

  Bang!

  A surge of massive force came, Ye Han's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and at the moment he landed, a burst of blood mist suddenly spurted out. He exerted his strength in both legs, retreating several steps on the stage before stabilizing his figure. The places where his feet stepped appeared to have several deep footprints that were an inch deep, and the hard ground directly sank downwards. The footprints were filled with powder.

  These few steps actually trampled the hard ground into pieces, it can be imagined how much force he withstood. If not for his quick reaction to channel the force on his body into the ground beneath his feet, by now he would have been severely injured and lost all ability to fight.

  Ye Han was shocked beyond measure, the difference in their skills apparent from the moment they clashed. He felt that his own strength was far inferior to Ye Chen's, and he was stunned, bewildered, and disbelieving, as if in a dream. A waste of thirteen years, how could he suddenly possess such terrifying strength? And yet, after decades of diligent cultivation, he couldn't even withstand a single move from the other party, it made him want to go mad with hatred!

  "Ah!"

  Ye Han let out a loud roar and pounced again, like a wounded beast, his entire body radiating a frantic aura. Ye Chen calmly watched as Ye Han approached, ready to strike him down from the competition stage. Just then, a flash of silver light appeared, drawing a straight line in the air with a whooshing sound.

  Ye Chen raised his hand and waved it, using the meteorite wrist guard on his wrist to deflect that streak of silver light. With a "ding" sound, that streak of silver light fell, and it was actually a two-inch-long silver needle, like an enlarged version of an embroidery needle, with a faint black glow emanating from within the silver color.

  Poisonous thorn!

  Ye Han saw that his own poisonous thorn did not have a killing effect, so he drew out another one from his waist.

  Hush hush

  A soft sword appeared in his hand, the sword body bounced, and under the infusion of his power, it became straight in an instant, even harder than fine steel. The sword edge was sharp, with a cold light that pierced the eye, and a burst of murderous aura surged out, pointing directly at Ye Chen's throat.

  The clan comparison was originally a family event to motivate the younger generation, but it has now become a life-and-death arena. The disciples below have different feelings and are puzzled that the leaders and elders of the family did not stop it.

  The emotions of the crowd below can be roughly divided into three categories. One is those disciples who are close to Ye Yan, who have not been spared from Ye Sheng's bullying over the years, and Ye Han has always been treated as a knife-wielder, accumulating deep resentment among the disciples. So when Ye Chen crippled Ye Qing, they were excited and wanted to cheer, and now they can't wait for him to cripple Ye Han too.

  Another was the disciples who stood on the same side as Ye Sheng and others, all of whom were looking forward to Ye Han being able to overthrow Ye Chen and trample him underfoot.

  The last one is the neutral faction who has never expressed their stance, gloating and watching the show.

  The main people of the Ye family's direct and collateral lines, as well as the two elders, had different thoughts. Ye Yan and Ye Xiao Tian looked calmly at the competition stage, while Ye Chen was bullied and humiliated since childhood, but now he could finally hold his head high. Ye Xiao Tian was very excited in his heart, not afraid that Ye Chen would cause trouble, because there was Ye Wen Tian to back him up, and even if it was an elder who wanted to take Ye Chen's life, they had to weigh their options carefully.

  Moreover, Ye Xun had said before that competing on the arena is not a trivial matter, and if one is not careful, they might suffer serious injuries or even lose their lives. Therefore, as long as no one dies, even if Ye Chen beats Ye Qing, Ye Han, and Ye Sheng to the point of severe injury, Ye Xun can only swallow his anger.

  If it weren't for the fact that as long as there was no threat to his life, Ye Wen Tian didn't care about Ye Chen's affairs, how would these younger generations of the Ye family dare to bully and mock him? At first, Ye Xiao Tian was very puzzled. He knew that his second brother loved Ye Chen dearly, but he allowed others to bully Ye Chen without intervening. At that time, he had found Ye Wen Tian many times, and Ye Wen Tian only said one sentence: "If you don't have the will and perseverance beyond ordinary people, even if you're a genius, you won't go far on that path."

  This sentence made Ye Xiao Tian ponder for many years without understanding its meaning, that road? What road? Ye Chen Tian was born with a useless body, how could he be a genius, and today he vaguely understood.

  Ye Xun's face was gloomy, he also saw that Ye Chen's strength was very strong, and Ye Han was no match for him. But he still believed that Ye Chen would not be a match for his own son Ye Sheng, and today on this competition stage was the best opportunity to take action, so he wouldn't stop him from speaking out.

  The two elders had different thoughts, and the reason they didn't stop him was that they suddenly discovered that Ye Chen was the true genius of the Ye family. He was only 14 years old, and a 14-year-old boy beating a mid-seventh stage Ye Han like it was nothing - what kind of concept was this? It couldn't be described as genius anymore, but rather as a prodigy. So they wanted to see just how much more strength Ye Chen had that hadn't been revealed yet. They let the family disciples go forward and challenge him, even if he ended up crippling all of the family's disciples - it didn't matter, because in the hearts of the two elders, Ye Chen's weight already exceeded the sum total of all the family's disciples.
