"Why hasn't Ye Chen woken up yet?"

Chu Yanran had slept until late noon and discovered that Ye Chen was still in that kind of state, unable to extricate himself.

"Hm?" Yun Xianghan also woke up and noticed that Ye Chen was still in enlightenment.

"Yun Xianghan, what's happening to Ye Chen? Why is he emitting such a terrifying aura?" Chu Yanran was somewhat worried now, as Ye Chen's condition was quite frightening.

"He is transforming!" Yun Xianghan gazed at Ye Chen, recognizing this miraculous state of cultivation, and her heart immediately was greatly shocked—this man had become unfathomable!

"Wasn't Ye Chen supposed to fight Na Wudao? If he keeps pretending to sleep like this, wouldn't the heroes who came to watch the battle look down on him?" Chu Yanran suddenly said.

Above the South Sea.

This was a vast expanse of the South Sea, where Ye Chen and Na Wudao's ultimate battle was going to commence.

Na Wudao, a martial arts giant, had an imposing magnanimity, inviting heroes from all over the world to the South Sea to witness his final battle with Ye Chen.

At this moment, Na Wudao was seated in mediation in the sky above the sea, with heroes from all directions gathering here.

However, Ye Chen had yet to appear, which had made some people impatient already.

The battle between Na Wudao and Ye Chen was scheduled for noon.

But now, it was already past one in the afternoon, and Ye Chen was still nowhere to be seen, which was making the heroes who had come to watch quite anxious.

Nevertheless, Na Wudao's temperament was excellent. Even though Ye Chen was delayed, he remained undisturbed and waited patiently.

Na Wudao knew Ye Chen hadn't left the South Sea; he would definitely come to the battle. That was enough.

Ye Chen was worth waiting for!

Time passed by slowly; now it was two in the afternoon, and Ye Chen still hadn't appeared.

Na Wudao continued waiting unaffectedly, but the heroes who had come to watch were getting angry.

There were several hundred strong individuals present. The least skilled among them was a Grandmaster, and there were even a handful of respected Nine Dragons, over a dozen where Dragons soared!

Moreover, eight Land God immortals had gathered here, and a legendary empire's mighty and invincible Dragon Head had also arrived!

This gathering could be described as luxurious, where the strongest figures in the world were almost all collected here.

These individuals had come for Na Wudao, this martial arts giant who dominated the South Sea; even the Land Gods had to bow to him. Nobody wanted to miss seeing the grandeur of this old Dragon King.

As for the battle between Na Wudao and Ye Chen, many didn't take it seriously and considered it merely entertainment.

Ye Chen was just a nobody. Even if he had some skills, how could he match the might of the Dragon King?

In many people's eyes, Ye Chen was merely an extra. As long as he dared to show up, Na Wudao could slap him to death with one hand—it was just entertainment.

But this entertainment couldn't start because the temporary extra hadn't shown up!

Ye Chen's refusal to fight, or even to show up, was truly infuriating some of the strong individuals.

Ye Chen, you despicable cowardly bastard, just come out and let Na Wudao finish you off with a slap. What are you hiding for!

As the heroes grew more impatient with waiting, another hour passed, and it was now three in the afternoon.

Ye Chen the extra still hadn't shown up, and this had made some people very anxious.

"Damn it, I've been here since six in the morning, and now it's three in the afternoon. Will Ye Chen, this junior, ever show up!" a Grandmaster roared furiously.

"This little thief is too detestable. I drank a bit too much water and have been holding my pee all day. This brat still hasn't shown up; does he want me to die of holding it in!" a female powerhouse spoke bitterly, eliciting some laughter from the other powerhouses.

"Grandmaster, Dragon Nines, Dragon Tens, immortals, and even an Emperor, the Dragon Head, all came for Na Wudao. Yet this young junior dares to refrain from battling, making so many powerhouses sunbathe on the sea like this, it's utterly arrogant!" another powerhouse gritted his teeth and said.

"These past days I've scoured the South Sea, but found no trace of him; otherwise, I would have killed him already!" a Ten Dragons Taboo figure spoke darkly.

"This junior has provoked public anger. After he shows up, perhaps Na Wudao won't even need to take action. The crowd will tear him to pieces!" another person spoke with deep animosity, a look of great enmity on his face.

Ye Chen stood everyone up, which made the crowd very dissatisfied, unleashing strong condemnation toward him.

As a minor character, Ye Chen had been overly arrogant, lacking the awareness that a minor character should have!

"Could it be that this kid, seeing such a grand setup, got scared and dared not come?" an Emperor stood proudly in the air, muttering to himself.

"Although Ye Chen is young, his power is supreme. Even if he can't match Na Wudao, how could he be fearful and dare not come?" Yun Zheyue and the Emperor stood side by side, like two peerless immortals.

"You make sense!" The Emperor turned to Yun Zheyue. "But, it's already past the time agreed for the fight, why hasn't Ye Chen shown up yet?"

"I don't know, maybe something delayed him," Yun Zheyue said lightly.

The battle between Ye Chen and Na Wudao complicated the emotions in Yun Zheyue's heart.

Yun Zheyue hoped Na Wudao would step on Ye Chen to reach the pinnacle, so that she could hand over the Dragon Group to Na Wudao.

However, as the battle loomed, waves of emotion surged in Yun Zheyue's heart, and she was somewhat surprised to find herself not wanting Ye Chen to die.

Ye Chen, this despicable scumbag, wouldn't the world be too boring without him?

With myriad thoughts in her heart, Yun Zheyue didn't know why, but images kept flashing in her mind, scenes of Ye Chen forcefully kissing her.

"Yun Zheyue, Ye Chen has yet to show himself; could he have been killed by your sister?" the Emperor suddenly turned to Yun Zheyue, his face serious.

"..." Yun Zheyue said oddly.

"Strange, how has Ye Chen not arrived yet?" Na Wudao sat in the void, his eyes full of confusion.

Ye Chen hadn't fled without fighting; why hadn't he come for the battle?

Na Wudao was a person who greatly valued promises. He believed Ye Chen would honor the agreement, but Ye Chen's recent behavior made him doubt this.

Had he thought too highly of Ye Chen?

"Zhiji, did you send the message to Ye Chen to come battle in the South Sea, with no errors?" Na Wudao looked at Nan Zhiji and asked.

Na Wudao knew Ye Chen and Yun Xianghan were at the hotel, and he even had Nan Zhiji go to the hotel to inform Ye Chen of the duel location.

Yet, Ye Chen still had not shown up; could it be that Nan Zhiji failed to relay the message properly?

"Father, I always handle matters without omission. Ye Chen knows the battlefield is right here, but he hasn't come!" Nan Zhiji said.

"Hmm!" Na Wudao nodded.

Nan Zhiji's character, he knew well never resulted in mishaps.

However, Na Wudao's patience was starting to wear thin; the day was almost over, yet why hadn't Ye Chen arrived?

Could Ye Chen know that he was aging, thinking he suffered from presbyopia, and that fighting at night when visibility was poor would increase his chances of winning? Is that why he was so late?
