"Fine, you're not a woman, you're a real man!" Ye Chen agreed to back down, acknowledging her as a real man.

"Bastard!" Li Qian Ge fumed with anger but was wary of fighting Ye Chen since she might not win.

"Father, someone is bullying me!" Li Qian Ge looked at Na Wudao with a aggrieved expression, turning to her loving foster father.

"It's okay, he didn't hit you, just don't talk back and you'll be fine," Na Wudao comforted.

"But, but, but I feel wronged!" Li Qian Ge felt even worse, her father seemingly indifferent to her grievances and even siding with an outsider.

"What can your father do, I can't beat him either," Na Wudao said, his face revealing a helpless resignation.

"..."

With Yun Zheyue's departure, Yun Xianghan and Lin Ying also left; only four people remained at the Dragon King feast—Na Wudao, Li Qian Ge, one Emperor, and Ye Chen.

However, they would not be lonely for long, as a matchless figure soon made an appearance.

This was an elderly woman with withered hair, sunken eyes, and leaning on a dragon-headed cane, her power frighteningly immense, scarcely inferior to that of the Emperor.

However, this elderly lady was ferocious in demeanor, immediately pointing her finger at Ye Chen upon arrival.

"Old lady, what grudge or grievance do we have that you strike at me the moment you enter?" Ye Chen asked.

"I've been cultivating in seclusion for many years and just recently began walking the world again. Unaware of the rise of a young prodigy, I felt an itch to spar and wanted to exchange a few moves with you!"

This elderly lady had a frail appearance, yet her vitality surged with boundless demonic strength, clearly a figure of great peril.

"Jin Hua, quickly defeat this bastard! If you can defeat him, I'll become your disciple!" Li Qian Ge cheered and clapped fiercely as she almost jumped up when she saw Jin Hua getting ready to make a move on Ye Chen.

"Qian Ge, you're willing to become my disciple now?" Jin Hua was elated at her words.

Li Qian Ge, a world-class talent, had ascended to the rank of Land God at a young age, her future potential boundless.

Jin Hua had always wanted to take her as a direct disciple, but Li Qian Ge had staunchly refused, causing Jin Hua to fight several bouts with Na Wudao, believing he was obstructing her.

But now, Li Qian Ge had unexpectedly softened her stance and agreed to be her disciple, which delighted Jin Hua immensely. If she weren't so old, she would have jumped three feet high to express her joy.

However, even without jumping, Jin Hua felt full of energy and fearless in fighting younger opponents.

"Old lady, you're too old, I don't want to hit you. You should tone down the ferocity, otherwise you really will get a thrashing from me!" Ye Chen spoke his mind, but his words sounded more like a taunt, a challenge.

"Hmph, young man, too arrogant. Let this old body teach you a lesson today!" Jin Hua's face was icy as her dragon-headed cane erupted with brilliant golden light, manifesting countless shadows of the staff, violently striking at Ye Chen.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

Ye Chen's aura exploded; he was now invincible in combat, having defeated Yun Zheyue. As long as it wasn't the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, he could take on anyone.

"Na Wudao, how many moves do you think it will take for Jin Hua to be defeated?" the Emperor asked.

"It's hard to say. If Ye Chen throws an unbeatable punch, then Jin Hua might fall with just one punch," Na Wudao pondered and said.

Jin Hua was an ancient power, hidden from the world, her strength pushed to the extreme, one of the mightiest beneath the Other Shore!

They all knew of Jin Hua's terror, but none of them believed that Jin Hua could win.

Because Ye Chen was too strong, incomparably so, even Yun Zheyue had been defeated, let alone Jin Hua?

Indeed, the battle turned out just as they had predicted, even somewhat effortlessly.

The scene was entirely Ye Chen violently beating the old woman.

Ye Chen only threw three punches; the first suppressed the boundless, scattering the shadows of the staff, the second made the heaven and earth roar, breaking the cane, the third sweep was boundless, and Jin Hua was defeated!

After the three punches, Jin Hua stood with a blank expression, holding her broken cane in a daze, seemingly unable to believe what had just happened.

"How is this possible? Jin Hua is an ultimate war immortal, at the peak of her powers, a being who might transcend the Other Shore. How could she be defeated like this!" Li Qian Ge looked utterly spooked.

Na Wudao and Emperor Zhou were also deeply shaken. They knew the terror of Ye Chen, but seeing him unleash fierce might again made them unwittingly nervous.

They wondered why Ye Chen was so strong. He was merely at the peak of the ten dragons, not yet having ascended to land deity, yet fighting an ultimate war immortal seemed like slicing melons and dicing radishes, shocking and outrageous were not enough to describe it.

With such a realm, such power, this was simply eliciting the wrath of gods and men!

"Defeated, utterly routed!" Jin Hua threw her dragon-head cane to the ground, clearly signaling defeat.

Jin Hua had stood at the pinnacle of the world, on equal footing with Na Wudao, Emperor Zhou, and Yun Zheyue, yet today she had been defeated by three punches from Ye Chen, a junior, and it deeply hurt the old lady.

"Old lady, Li Qian Ge calls you Jin Hua, and you still hold that dragon-head cane. Did you come here from Heavenly Dragon Slaughterer?" Ye Chen asked Jin Hua with an innocent look.

"No!" Jin Hua replied.

"That's good, I'm glad you're not. If you were, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from beating you again, because that Jin Hua is just too hateful!" Ye Chen said earnestly, eyes wide open.

"..." Jin Hua was defeated by Ye Chen's oddity. When she looked at Ye Chen, her old eyes were no longer muddled but filled with a brilliant light, this boy might often be quirky, but his cultivation level was truly frightening!

No wonder he could sweep through all challengers, even pushing Yun Zheyue off his pedestal, and daring to claim he was the best in the world!

Ye Chen was not arrogant or ignorant, he simply qualified!

In an era where saints were hidden and the Other Shore did not manifest, if Ye Chen's power wasn't the best in the world, then what was?

"Haha, Jin Hua, how did your cane break?" At this moment, another dominant figure arrived, also attending the Dragon King's feast.

This was a robust-looking middle-aged man, dressed like an ancient scholar, but the aura he emitted was formidable, not a literary scholar but a martial champion!

"Ao Wuchang, didn't you say that besides Yun Zheyue, you had no rivals in the world?" asked Jin Hua.

"Indeed!" Ao Wuchang was genuinely proud. "With the Other Shore not manifesting, besides Yun Zheyue, I indeed have no other rivals in the world!"

"Yun Zheyue has been defeated; do you still dare brag here?" Jin Hua scoffed.

"That must be false news. Yun Zheyue is the strongest immortal. How could he be defeated?" Ao Wuchang had heard the rumors but didn't believe them at all.

"It was this youngster who defeated Yun Zheyue. He punched me three times, making my blood churn, and even broke my cane!" Jin Hua declared.

"Are you joking with me?" Ao Wuchang asked.
