In the latest Group Elite Rankings, the talent ranked one hundredth on the People tier was named Qin Huaiyu, whose family lived in Leiyun City, northwestern Hezhou.
Ye Xingchen and Xiao Zuiji rode Hurricane Wolves, rushing over at top speed.
The Qin Family.
First among Leiyun City’s four great families, their strength comparable to sixth-rate sects.
Qin Huaiyu was from the Qin Family’s direct lineage. Gathering all resources, he managed to kill his way into the one hundredth rank—truly the whole clan’s pride.
So outsiders wanting to visit and request an audience was basically impossible.
Ye Xingchen arrived at the Qin Family. His first words were: “I want to challenge Qin Huaiyu. Have him quickly come out for battle.”
“Challenge our young master? Are you even worthy?”
“These young people nowadays really have guts. Don’t even look at what you are—dare challenge a People tier talent.”
“Every day those challenging our young master could form a line to the city gates. Who do you think you are? Get lost quickly.”
The Qin Family’s gate-guarding servants were extremely arrogant. Thus they angered Night Emperor, who directly took violent measures, sending them flying and blasting the Qin Family’s main gate to smithereens.
Though the methods were extreme, the effect was excellent!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
In an instant, over ten martial cultivators rushed out from the Qin Family’s inner courtyard, all at the Martial Ancestor level, glaring furiously at the two approaching young men.
Ye Xingchen said flatly: “Have Qin Huaiyu come out for battle.”
“Outrageous!”
The Qin Family head walked out from the main hall. His peak Martial Ancestor cultivation erupted, instantly executing a spiritual-type martial technique, gathering light that pressed forward.
Boom!
Ye Xingchen raised his fist and shattered the light.
Thud thud thud!
The Qin Family head retreated several steps back, his gaze showing shock: “You’re a Martial King?!”
Martial King?
The Qin Family martial cultivators surrounding them all had drastically changed expressions!
Ye Xingchen said coldly: “Quickly have Qin Huaiyu come out. Otherwise, I’ll smash up your Qin Family.”
Arrogant, domineering!
Xiao Zuiji standing beside had a twitching mouth.
Junior Brother Ye indeed had the Sect Master’s style. When his temper flared, he was also a madman!
Jun Changxiao’s arrogance was because he had to establish prestige, making others deeply understand—the Eternal Ages Sect, you can’t afford to provoke.
This was passive.
Our Night Emperor was different. He was truly arrogant!
As long as words didn’t match, he’d immediately flip the table!
The Qin Family head’s expression was extremely ugly. A Martial King level powerhouse—their Qin Family absolutely couldn’t afford to provoke!
“Young friend.”
An elder cupped his fists: “Did our direct lineage offend you?”
“No.”
Ye Xingchen displayed the waist token he obtained from the qualification battle not long ago, saying flatly: “I’m here to compete for rankings.”
“…”
The entire Qin Family’s mouths twitched violently.
This guy already had Martial King level cultivation, yet still had no ranking—simply incredible!
Whoosh whoosh—
Ye Xingchen fully released his Martial King cultivation, pervading the Qin Family’s airspace. His gaze was cold: “I’m in a hurry. Quickly have that kid come out for battle.”
A threat.
Naked threat!
Originally the Qin Family wanted to lie that the person wasn’t home. But frightened by his aura, they hurriedly summoned Qin Huaiyu who was in seclusion.
Boom!
Boom!
On the martial arts field, spiritual energy wildly spread!
After being wildly abused by Ye Xingchen, the just-appeared Qin Huaiyu was beaten completely unconscious.
“Trash.”
Night Emperor turned and left the Qin Family.
Whew—
The entire Qin Family breathed a long sigh of relief as if a weight was lifted.
Though Qin Huaiyu losing to a challenger would be kicked off the People tier rankings, they weren’t dejected at all. Because that fierce guy leaving was truly the best news!
…
Boom—
In a certain city, on a certain family’s martial arts field, Ye Xingchen’s punch sent his opponent flying. He shook his head: “Truly trash.”
With that said, he left with head held high.
Xiao Zuiji following behind shook his head helplessly.
Ye Xingchen successively defeated two people, ranking ninety-ninth on the People tier.
His intention was to give the person who dropped to one hundredth some time, then continue challenging and replace them.
But Junior Brother Ye beat people half to death. Just recovering from injuries would take several months!
Forget it, forget it.
There’d be time later. First let that poor guy recover from his injuries.
Just like this, Xiao Zuiji who originally planned to advance rankings together spent the whole time watching Ye Xingchen fight.
Several days later.
The two traversed various provinces, successively challenging over twenty people.
No need to ask—possessing Martial King cultivation, Ye Xingchen was simply a BUG. As long as he visited to fight, People tier talents would definitely lose extremely miserably.
“Did you all hear? Recently there’s been an extremely arrogant guy successively challenging People tier talents. At least twenty people have been defeated by him!”
“Of course I heard. And I also know that guy is from the Eternal Ages Sect, named Ye Xingchen!”
“This newly risen sect—not only is the Sect Master formidable, their disciples are formidable too!”
Many martial artists discussed while also eagerly anticipating the Group Elite Rankings that refreshed every half month, because they wanted to see what rank Ye Xingchen could climb to.
…
Eternal Ages Sect.
Li Luoqiu entered the great hall: “Sect Master, the latest Group Elite Rankings were published. Ye Xingchen rose from unranked to People tier rank forty-five.”
“Heh.”
Jun Changxiao said: “In just half a month, challenging fifty-five talents—this guy’s speed is pretty fast.”
If they gave Ye Xingchen the Demon Ridge Black Eagle or Hurricane Wolf King, he could travel between provinces even faster and defeat even more ranking talents.
“Sect Master.”
Li Luoqiu said: “This guy beats his opponents half to death every time he challenges. If this continues, he might provoke public anger.”
Jun Changxiao said dismissively: “Inferior skills mean willing acceptance of defeat.”
Like master, like disciples!
…
“My goodness, that guy went from unlisted to directly killing into the top fifty. This speed is absolutely the fastest in history, right?”
When the latest Group Elite Rankings were published and people saw Ye Xingchen’s rank, many martial artists’ eyes bulged.
The challenges continued.
Half a month later, another new list was published.
Ye Xingchen went from rank forty-five directly to second place, immediately causing huge shock throughout all provinces!
Just thirty days.
From unknown to killing into People tier second place—this speed was simply unprecedented through the ages!
…
Northwestern Hezhou, Royal City.
At this moment, outside the arena, hundreds of thousands of martial cultivators had already gathered.
“That’s Ye Xingchen?”
“In one month, from the bottom to second place—the advancement speed is truly too terrifying!”
“This time challenging People tier first place, if he wins again, won’t that be a hundred straight victories!”
On the arena, Ye Xingchen stood with hands behind his back, proud and aloof.
After defeating People tier’s second place, he came to the Royal City and issued a challenge to the first-ranked talent—truly swift and decisive!
“Young Master Sun is here!”
Just then, someone shouted at the top of their voice.
Looking at the cleared road, a handsome young man walked over surrounded by servants.
Sun Heyu.
Direct lineage of the Royal City Sun Family.
Champion of the Group Elite Rankings People tier.
There weren’t many talents from northwestern Hezhou who made the rankings. For Sun Heyu to kill into first place made him absolutely an outstanding figure of the younger generation, and an existence everyone worshipped and looked up to.
“Young Master Sun is so handsome!”
“He’ll definitely defeat that Ye Xingchen!”
“There’s a betting house. I staked my entire fortune on Young Master Sun!”
Sun Heyu’s arrival immediately caused a commotion.
It was clear this first-ranked People tier talent had extremely high popularity in the Royal City.
“Step.”
Landing on the arena, Sun Heyu said proudly: “To advance to People tier second place in such a short time shows some capability. But challenging this young master, your winning streak ends here.”
“Even a side profile is so handsome—I can’t take it anymore!”
Some young women in their prime were completely mesmerized by Sun Heyu’s profile.
They also didn’t forget to look at Ye Xingchen with terrifying eyes. Not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to challenge our idol—just wait to be abused!
In the crowd, Xiao Zuiji shook his head: “This person’s strength is mediocre. He can’t escape being abused by Junior Brother Ye.”
