Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Seeing Ye Chen's arrogance, Huang Laosi roared with veins bulging on his forehead, "Boy, you're asking for death, I'll grant your wish."

Su Mengyao's heart jumped at the sight, for she knew that Huang Laosi was now comparable to a martial king.

Ye Chen is so arrogant; if he loses, their Guofu Martial Arts Academy will be completely finished.

Ji Ruoyu also frowned, looking at Ye Chen on the stage who seemed calm and collected, her eyes flickering as if she was thinking about something.

On the contrary, Old Master Su remained calm, sitting there as if victory was assured.

Meanwhile, the Iron Fist Martial Arts School had already started celebrating. In their view, their leader had no chance of losing under such circumstances.

They've even started betting on how many moves Ye Chen can withstand.

On the stage, Huang Laosi pounced on Ye Chen like a hungry tiger, his fists surging with power, like heavy cannon fire.

Seeing Ye Chen standing there, seemingly terrified, Huang Laosi revealed a ferocious smile.

In his view, under his heavy punch, Ye Chen would probably suffer broken bones and tendons even if he didn't die.

However, the next moment, the ferocious expression on Huang Laosi's face turned into astonishment and confusion.

Ye Chen raised his right hand and slowly extended it to meet Huang Laosi's fist.

However, this seemingly ordinary gesture blocked Huang Laosi's peerless iron fist, which contained violent power.

Old Huang gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, stomped his feet on the ground, twisted his waist and hips, and threw another punch.

Ye Chen remained calm, using his right hand to block Huang Laosi's fist.

The fist made a sonic boom when it hit the air, but it made no sound when it hit Ye Chen's palm.

Huang Laosi felt as if his fist had hit a jelly-like object.

His domineering power was absorbed by Ye Chen's palm, disappearing instantly as if a mud ox had entered the sea.

Before Huang Laosi could even be shocked, a powerful counterforce erupted from Ye Chen's palm.

A terrifying force, like a tidal wave, surged into Huang Laosi's body through his fist in an instant.

Huang Laosi was sent flying backward, crashing into the rope at the edge of the ring, and was bounced back by the rope and slammed onto the ring.

This scene stunned everyone in the audience, and those from the Guofu Martial Arts School were even more dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened.

Even Su Mengyao stared at Ye Chen in shock. She knew Ye Chen was strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.

Huang Laosi struggled to his feet, looking at Ye Chen with disbelief, and said, "You, you, who exactly are you? How can you be so strong!"

You should know that he now has combat power comparable to a Martial King, yet he couldn't even withstand a single move from Ye Chen.

The terrifying force he just experienced made him feel like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Ye Chen patted his sleeves and said calmly, "Who I am is not important. What's important is, are you going to admit defeat?"

Faced with Ye Chen's contemptuous gaze, Huang Laosi's eyes were filled with resentment. He tried to stand up, but found that he had no strength in his entire body.

Seeing Huang Laosi's unwilling look, Ye Chen put his hands in his pockets and walked step by step to Huang Laosi.

Looking down at Huang Laosi, he said calmly, "In the face of absolute strength, your underhanded tricks are nothing but a joke."

As he spoke, a powerful aura pressed down on Huang Laosi, making him feel as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

"Martial King, at least at the peak of Martial King!"

"How old are you? How could you possibly have such cultivation?"

Huang Laosi looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. He couldn't believe that this man, who was at most twenty-five years old, was already a peak Martial King.

They had no idea when Wucheng had acquired such a person.

Ye Chen's smile was contemptuous. Peak Martial King, if it weren't for the fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

Even with his full martial prowess unleashed, he could be directly killed by Huang Laosi.

Looking at Ye Chen's contemptuous smile, Huang Laosi thought about what such a young Martial King at the peak represented, and cold sweat broke out on his brow.

He never expected that there was such a powerful entity behind the Guofu Martial Arts School. If he had known earlier, he would never have come to challenge the school.

“Since Guofu Martial Arts Academy has a senior in charge, I concede defeat. There’s no need to fight the remaining matches; my disciple is no match for the senior.”

"This time, our Iron Fist Martial Arts School lost the challenge."

Upon hearing Huang Laosi admit defeat, the members of Guofu Martial Arts School cheered.

Some were happy while others were sad. The members of the Iron Fist Martial Arts School in the audience looked very grim upon hearing this.

However, they also sensed Ye Chen's terrifying aura.

Even though they were unwilling, no one dared to say anything.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "In that case, let's follow the rules."

As he spoke, Ye Chen looked at Su Mengyao below the stage.

At this moment, Su Mengyao reacted and excitedly said, "According to the rules of the martial arts world, if a challenge fails, half of the martial arts school's profits must be handed over to the other party within a year."

"In addition, when Iron Fist Martial Arts School encounters people from Kunio Martial Arts School in the future, they should treat their peers with the respect due to disciples, and give way to them on the competition field."

"Master Huang, do you have any objections to this regulation?"

Faced with Su Mengyao's questioning, Ye Chen had already withdrawn his aura. Huang Laosi stood up shakily, cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "I have no objection. From now on, when Iron Fist Martial Arts School meets Guofu Martial Arts School, they shall give way. Farewell."

After saying that, Huang Laosi, supported by two disciples, led his group of disciples away quickly.

"Oh!!"

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Kunio Martial Arts School cheered excitedly.

Everyone looked at Ye Chen with admiration. Although they were about the same age, Ye Chen was far superior to them.

Su Mengyao arranged for several disciples to go to other martial arts schools to inform them of the situation regarding the challenge.

Then he walked up to Ye Chen and said respectfully, "Brother Ye, thank you so much for your help this time. If it weren't for you, my family's martial arts school would probably not have survived."

At this moment, Su Guofu, along with Su Wenqiang and a group of disciples, stepped forward and bowed to Ye Chen.

Su Guofu politely replied, "Thank you for your help, young friend."

The disciples all said in unison, "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Chen cupped his hands in return and said, "Grandpa Su, you're too kind. Mengyao and I are friends, so it's only right that I help her. Besides, it's just a small favor."

Listening to Ye Chen's nonchalant tone, Su Guofu felt a pang of emotion, realizing he was getting old.

What he considered a formidable foe was merely a piece of cake for Ye Chen.

Ji Ruoyu, standing to the side, looked at Ye Chen, who was surrounded by the crowd, with admiration in her eyes. Today, she had gained a deeper understanding of Ye Chen.

With such formidable combat power, he could probably achieve great things if he joined the army. Moreover, Ye Chen seems to have a connection with the Crimson Gold War God.

At this moment, Ji Ruoyu realized that she could see through Ye Chen less and less, or rather, she had never understood Ye Chen at all.

However, Ye Chen seemed to try his best to fulfill her every request. Thinking of this, Ji Ruoyu felt a sweet warmth in her heart and couldn't help but think that she would like her future husband to be like Ye Chen.

Hmm? What am I thinking?

When Ji Ruoyu came to her senses, her face instantly turned bright red.

Could it be that I've run into Ye Chen? Impossible, impossible.

Ji Ruoyu shook her head, as if trying to shake this absurd idea out of her mind.

Just then, a large group of people arrived at the entrance.

"Congratulations, Master Su."

"Old Master Su, your imposing presence is as strong as ever."

These people were all owners of martial arts schools in the area. In their opinion, the fact that Guofu Martial Arts School was able to win the competition must be due to Old Master Su's efforts, so they all stepped forward to congratulate him.

Seeing this, Grandpa Su realized that the owners of the museum had misunderstood, so he glanced at Ye Chen and was about to explain.

Ye Chen shook his head and whispered, "Grandpa Su, you must not let anyone know that I took action."

Grandpa Su frowned when he saw Ye Chen's serious expression, but then he nodded, thinking that Ye Chen must have his reasons.

Taking two steps forward, Old Master Su cupped his hands in greeting to the group of owners who had come to offer their congratulations, saying, "Thank you all. Today I am hosting a banquet at the Eight Views Pavilion, and I would like to invite you all to join me."

"sure."

"Since Old Master Su has spoken, we will naturally go."

Seeing that Grandpa Su was dealing with the situation, Ye Chen walked to Ji Ruoyu's side.

Su Mengyao, standing next to Ji Ruoyu, looked at Ye Chen with bright, sparkling eyes.
