The Dragon Clan's powerful experts all held their breath as they watched the battle, eager to witness the miracle that was Ye Chen.

However, even though Ye Chen had become a Grandmaster at such a young age, no one was optimistic about his fight against Long Ao, for Long Ao was an incredibly powerful late-stage Grandmaster!

"Submit, junior!" Long Ao's momentum exploded as he threw out a punch that shattered the sky, displaying his unparalleled strength.

Ye Chen's face held a profound smile. As Long Ao approached him aggressively, he didn't panic. With his hands hanging slightly, he let that awe-inspiring punch sweep towards him.

"This kid is a bit too arrogant, even if he is at the same level of strength as Long Ao, it's hard to withstand such a punch without gathering strength in advance!"

Ye Chen's performance caused an elder to shake his head gently. The momentum was particularly important in a fight between strong competitors. This young Grandmaster was reckless and arrogant, but making such a fatal mistake could affect the outcome of a battle even between equally matched fighters.

The elder's comments made several Dragon Clan experts nod in agreement. A fight between strong players is a competition of momentum, and Ye Chen had already weakened his momentum and was beyond recovery.

However, the only woman there, Yun Xiang, had a wondrous light in her eyes. Her thoughts differed from others; she saw a true dragon emerging from the abyss!

Long Ao advanced aggressively, his punch encompassing Ye Chen from all sides, seemingly flawless. However, just as his fist was three feet away from Ye Chen, an aura of terror suddenly erupted from Ye Chen, and with a casual punch, he hit Long Ao's fist squarely.

"Boom!"

Their fists collided, and the True Qi within their fists burst forth, stirring up a wild wind around them and making the ground beneath their feet shake violently.

"What!"

Long Ao's punching arm felt like it had been struck by a huge mountain. His body couldn't withstand such a massive force, as blood spurted from all his orifices, and in an instant, he was sent flying by that one punch.

"This is impossible!"

Everyone except for Yun Xiang was shocked, and the expressions of the Dragon Clan experts changed dramatically in an instant.

Qin Lan was also stunned. She had absolute confidence in Ye Chen and knew he would win, but Qin Lan didn't expect that Ye Chen would win so easily. After all, Long Ao was an elderly member of the Dragon Clan, mighty and peerless! The victory was too violent, too straightforward!

As an elder of the Dragon Clan, Long Ao might not be among the very top in terms of strength, but he was still an incredibly powerful late-stage Grandmaster!

Ye Chen sent him flying with one punch, causing blood to flow from all his orifices. What kind of cultivation was this?!

"Fragile to the extreme, weak beyond measure, I admire the courage that led you to challenge me!" Ye Chen stood indifferently with an air of contempt, dominating even in the presence of many Dragon Clan experts.

"..."

Feeling the sting of Ye Chen's gaze, the elder's face burned with pain. He had just asserted that Ye Chen had no chance of winning, but Ye Chen won with such overwhelming force that it was like a harsh slap to his face.

"This young man is simply indescribable!" Yun Xiang felt a stir in her heart; there was an inexplicable charisma about Ye Chen that moved her.

"How, how can you be so strong!" Long Ao struggled to his feet. He looked at Ye Chen as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of disbelief.

Ye Chen's punch was slower to launch, yet it bore an overwhelming force. With one strike, he injured his opponent's internal organs, causing significant trauma.

Even the other members of the Dragon Group were shocked and uncertain. The combat power that Ye Chen unleashed in that instant was so immense, it seemingly reached a limit!

"It's not that I'm strong but rather you're too weak," said Ye Chen.

With a single move, Ye Chen overpowered his enemy, his burst of combat power terrifying enough to scare the ghosts and gods themselves, proving his strength without a doubt.

"Are you still questioning my qualifications?" Ye Chen looked at the crowd of Dragon Group fighters. "If you think I'm bullying the old with my youth, then feel free to join forces against me. If I can't sweep you all within three moves, I'll cripple my own martial arts!"

"..." Ye Chen's arrogant words turned the faces of the Dragon Group fighters dark with rage, nearly unable to restrain themselves from pummeling him with their shoes and saliva.

However, Ye Chen's display of dominance carried an air of looking down upon all, causing a chill in the hearts of the Dragon Group fighters.

Ye Chen's words were arrogant; yet, remembering the strength he had just displayed, the Dragon Group fighters were filled with apprehension, holding back any disrespectful words they might have had for him.

The Dragon Group fighters had initially intended to pressure Ye Chen into relinquishing his spot for the Peak Group, but Ye Chen's explosive powerup, from an insect to a massive beast, had effectively deterred them.

The battle prowess Ye Chen demonstrated was dazzling and peerless. With one hit, he managed to defeat a fighter as skilled as Long Ao, which could not simply be attributed to the latter stages of Grandmaster level, but rather it suggested the cultivation of a peerless Grandmaster! Even the old man felt his heart twinge, for he too was a peak Grandmaster, but with age, he lacked the vigor of youth and might not be able to handle Ye Chen in a fight.

"When did we ever say we wanted to fight you? We never showed you any hostility from the beginning; it's just that Long Ao got excited at the prospect of hunting and wanted to exchange a few blows with you. Little did he expect to be beaten into such a severe disability. But that's his own fault for not mastering his skills sufficiently," said Yun Xianghan as she approached Ye Chen with an enchanting smile. "Little brother, can we let bygones be bygones?"

Yun Xianghan was a beauty in her twenties, with an exceedingly exquisite face and perfect, delicate figure, like a piece of art meticulously sculpted by the heavens. Moreover, as a Grandmaster, she possessed a sublime quality not found in ordinary women.

However, Ye Chen sensed a feeling of antiquity from her, indicating that her actual age was far greater than her appearance suggested. She could very likely be an extremely terrifying old demon in disguise.

"That would be for the best, junior thanks senior for the fair judgement!" Ye Chen smiled like a child.

"Don't call me senior; you'll age me a year each time," said Yun Xianghan. "Call me 'sister.' I have a feeling our paths will cross again."

"Sister, you're truly beautiful!" Ye Chen said with a sheepish smile.

"You mischievous little fellow!" Yun Xianghan replied with a graceful smile.

"..."

Yun Xianghan's true prowess was deeply hidden. Previously, when she was some distance away, Ye Chen hadn't noticed anything extraordinary about her. But now, with only a few steps between them, he immediately sensed her terrifying nature, an inexplicable thought arising in him that her cultivation might not be below that of the Three Kings!

The Three Kings of the troubled times were among the top-ranked powerful fighters on the Qingyun List. If Yun Xianghan was not weaker than the Three Kings, how strong would she be?!

This startling discovery made Ye Chen's heart race.

The Peak Group gathering was a convergence of supreme warriors. Even those welcoming guests on the peripheries needed to possess the prowess to look over the masses to deter the heroes.

Ye Chen had initially thought that someone from the Three Kings would be receiving guests, but upon meeting this woman, he realized she was the one with the deepest concealment— the ultimate Boss. If ordinary Grandmasters visited, the few powerful members of the Dragon Clan could easily deter them, but if a top fighter from the Qingyun List were to arrive, then Yun Xianghan would surely be intimidating enough! With the Three Kings presiding over the Peak Group's event, today's display of deterring the brave would certainly be fascinating to watch.
