"Hmm!" Ye Chen's expression turned solemn.

Na Wudao was terrifyingly powerful, having reigned over the South Sea all his life, and had never been defeated. Even celestial beings from the land had to be deterred by this old Dragon King.

Na Wudao was a legend of an era, and even with his invincible strength, Ye Chen would not underestimate such a towering giant who had dominated his entire life!

However, Ye Chen was not afraid because he was strong enough!

Both were at the pinnacle of the Ten Dragons, strong or weak, only a battle would tell!

"Ye Chen, do you have a challenge match with Na Wudao?" After Yun Zheyue left, Qianyue Bing and Yalina both came over.

"Hmm, is there anything surprising about that?" Ye Chen asked, bewildered.

These two women knew Ye Chen's strength best, but when they learned that Ye Chen had a challenge match with Na Wudao, their faces immediately showed a grave expression, a kind of worry.

"Na Wudao is very extraordinary. Even Fujiwara Kinboku, when he came to the South Sea, was helpless against the revered Dragon King!" Qianyue Bing said gravely.

Fujiwara Kinboku was the island nation's ultimate warrior, mentor of Naimei Xue. His strength was weaker than Yun Zheyue's, but stronger than that of an ordinary celestial being from the land. He was a high-end battle celestial!

Many years ago, Fujiwara Kinboku arrived at the South Sea and battled Na Wudao, ending in a draw!

Not many people knew about that battle, and Qianyue Bing happened to be one of them.

"Teacher Jinmu has mentioned that battle to me. He said that Na Wudao's cultivation was boundless, as unfathomable as the waters of the South Sea!"

"In that battle, Teacher Jinmu exerted all his strength, while Na Wudao seemed at ease, as if holding back!"

"So, that battle might have been called a draw, but in reality, Teacher Jinmu lost!" Qianyue Bing recounted the battle between the island nation's ultimate warrior and Na Wudao.

"Now, this is getting interesting!" Ye Chen laughed. "I am now the ultimate battle celestial, and if Na Wudao turns out to be too weak, then there's no challenge in it for me!"

Na Wudao was unfathomable, but Ye Chen was calmly unafraid, even looking forward to the challenge with more excitement the stronger his opponent seemed.

Na Wudao had taken a liking to Ye Chen's potential, wishing to make him his strongest stepping stone, but Ye Chen likewise wanted to step over Na Wudao to reach the pinnacle amongst men.

"I didn't know about the ultimate warrior of the island nation having battled Na Wudao, but I do know that fifty years ago, a Sect Hierarch from the Heavenly Court came to the South Sea, and then this Sect Hierarch was defeated by Na Wudao!" Yalina suddenly said.

"What kind of strength does a Sect Hierarch have?" Ye Chen asked.

"Sect Hierarchs are all high-end battle celestials. The one who fought Na Wudao was not weak among them, only a hair away from becoming an ultimate battle celestial!" Yalina said solemnly.

Ye Chen could also beat high-end battle celestials now, but Na Wudao's battle with that Sect Hierarch had happened fifty years ago!

If Na Wudao was so terrifying fifty years ago, how strong had this old Dragon King become today, fifty years later?

"So, Na Wudao is absolutely an ultimate battle celestial!" Ye Chen let out a sigh.

"Exactly, so your battle with Na Wudao is extremely perilous!" Yalina and Qianyue Bing both looked at Ye Chen.

Even with Ye Chen's overwhelmingly potent strength, and being an ultimate battle celestial in his own right, compared to a behemoth like Na Wudao, he still lacked a bit of depth.

"Huh." Ye Chen was momentarily startled. "If you both know how terrifying Na Wudao is, why did you say I am the strongest Ten Dragons in history?"

Na Wudao was also at the Ten Dragons realm, but his combat strength was fiercely unrivaled, almost on par with the likes of Yun Zheyue, the strongest battle celestial.

Yalina and Qianyue Bing knew of Na Wudao's existence and his limitless terror, but why did they initially believe Ye Chen to be the strongest Ten Dragons in history?

"Na Wudao is powerfully formidable, but he doesn't have many years left to live!" Yalina said. "You're just in your early twenties, at the peak of your youth, naturally stronger than him in some respects!"

"Some respects?" Ye Chen smiled.

"Don't get the wrong idea, I mean you're still young, your potential far surpasses his!" Yalina scolded playfully.

"I see!" Ye Chen's smile turned awkward.

"Ye Chen, I want to advise you not to fight Na Wudao." Yalina said.

"Why?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.

"Because, in history, many unparalleled beings, sensing their end approaching, start harboring resentment against the world, inciting boundless bloodshed and slaughter, to vent the indignation in their hearts!"

"The end of Na Wudao's lifespan is approaching, and he doesn't have many years left to live. To survive and break through his limits, he'd certainly do anything, no matter how insane!"

"Ye Chen, you are still young with endless possibilities. You don't need to engage in a life-and-death battle with him!"

Yalina expressed her concerns, unwilling for Ye Chen to risk his life in an ultimate battle with Na Wudao.

"Yalina is right. Since Na Wudao's end is near, he will be driven to extremes, seeking a breakthrough. Yet, you are not troubled by an impending end and can steadily progress. There is simply no need to fight to the death with a man on the verge of decline!" Qianyue Bing added her opinion at this time.

"I understand your concerns," Ye Chen said. "But we have already agreed upon this battle, and we've even postponed it for a year. Na Wudao is still waiting for this battle, how can I retreat without fighting?"

"Besides, Na Wudao has issued a hero invitation, calling heroes from all over to gather at the South Sea to witness our ultimate battle. If I don't go, won't I become the laughingstock of everyone?"

"This battle is a great opportunity for me to make a name for myself. How can I give up just because I feel fear?"

"I have yet to break through to the Land God because I lack an opportunity, and this battle with Na Wudao could very well be that very opportunity!"

"If I miss this battle, my martial heart will be flawed, and then I might never advance to the Land God!"

"So, no matter what, I must go to the South Sea and fight this old Dragon King!"

Ye Chen's eyes shone brilliantly, and with each sentence he uttered, an additional grace was added to his demeanor - that of confidence, dominance, and invincibility.

In Ye Chen's very bones burned a wild blood. He was a martial fanatic born for battle, and no matter how terrifying Na Wudao was, it couldn't instill fear in his heart, nor could it make him back down!

"This!"

Qianyue Bing and Yalina were both immensely shaken. At that moment, Ye Chen possessed a momentum that could swallow mountains and rivers, exuding an invincible aura that could shake the soul.

After Ye Chen finished speaking, both women knew that his confidence was unshakable, and his conviction for the battle would not waver.

"What are you all talking about? Hurry up and come to the kitchen to help me with the dishes!" Xu Qingling's voice suddenly called out.

"Coming!" Ye Chen responded.

While Ye Chen was on the phone with Xu Guanlin, Xu Qingling had run off to the distance.

Xu Qingling had gone to the kitchen, taken all the ingredients out of the refrigerator, and prepared a sumptuous feast for Ye Chen.

Among Ye Chen's women, only Xu Qingling had exquisite culinary skills, rightfully a goddess of cuisine, whose cooking could make Ye Chen almost bite off his own tongue.

Ye Chen had lived in the Litian Cave Abode for three years, where he'd swallow a Fasting Pill or roast some meat whenever he was hungry, which was already a way of enhancing his life.

Ye Chen expressed that he had long craved Xu Qingling's delicious dishes.

"Ye Chen, slow down, no one is fighting you for the food!"

As soon as the dishes were served, Ye Chen started devouring his meal like a maniac, his pig-like manner of eating amusing Xu Qingling to tears and laughter.

However, Xu Qingling indeed cherished this trait of Ye Chen's as a gluttonous eater.

"Qingling, your dad just said that he wants to call off your marriage arrangement with the Ji family," Ye Chen said after gorging himself, his mouth full of the aroma of food, chewing on a big chunk of meat while speaking to Xu Qingling.

"I guessed as much!" Xu Qingling smiled mysteriously. "During the three years you were gone, my father didn't stop putting pressure on me. Now that you are back, he's naturally scared and wants to make amends for his mistakes."

Xu Qingling had anticipated this, so she wasn't at all surprised.

The Xu Family was now at odds with the Ji family, not because her father had a change of heart, but because her man was too fearsome, fearsome enough to make others afraid!

"Qingling, where am I sleeping tonight?" Ye Chen asked Xu Qingling with a mischievous grin, the implication clear.

"On the street!" Xu Qingling replied.

"I've missed you day and night for three years, and now that I've finally returned, you want me to sleep on the street?" Ye Chen exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Hmph, you've missed me day and night?" Xu Qingling scoffed with disdain. "I think it's more like you've been unsteady in your affections!"

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen blinked innocently.

"Don't run, I'm talking to you two!" Xu Qingling suddenly stood up, pointing at Qianyue Bing and Yalina, who were trying to sneak away.
