C10 Starryfall Martial Competition

On the day of the Starryfall Martial Competition.

In the Ye Family, Qingchen's small courtyard.

Ye Qingchen was practicing his sword in the courtyard.

He was holding a long black sword in his hand. As he waved it, it created a sword wind that cut off the falling bamboo leaves.

This long black sword was a sword that Hu Tianqing gave him when he went to the Essen Chamber of Commerce.

The long black sword was three feet long. It looked simple and ordinary.

Hu Tianqing had told him that this sword was made from a special material called "Meteorite Stone", so it was called "Meteorite Sword".

After Ye Qingchen heard about it, he was overjoyed.

One had to know that the hardness of the meteorite stone was comparable to the body strength of an Origin Returning Stage cultivator!

It could be used to forge a sword that could cut through iron as if it was mud.

He had participated in the previous year's "Starryfall Martial Competition".

Therefore, he knew how important a good weapon was in a competition.

However, he was still unable to control the Ashy Sword, so he could only find another sword to make up for this transition period.

Coincidentally, the Meteorite Sword that Hu Tianqing gave him solved his urgent need.

After practicing with the shadow for a few days, Ye Qingchen's control of the Meteorite Sword had become extremely smooth.

"As expected of a low-grade Origin Rank weapon. It's quite handy to use it," Ye Qingchen praised.

There were also several levels of weapons.

From low to high, they were the Mortal, Elemental, Spiritual, Profound, and King ranks.

Each rank was further divided into three grades.

According to what he knew, Ye Chengzhang was the only one in the Ye family who had a mid-grade Yuan level sword.

Hu Tianqing, on the other hand, had given him a low-grade Profound Meteorite Sword.

This time, Ye Qingchen witnessed the true wealth of the Ye Family.

"It's time to meet up with Ye Chengzhang and the others at the gate of the Ye Family."

Ye Qingchen muttered to himself as he looked at the sun in the sky.

Today was the day of the Starryfall Martial Competition. Therefore, Ye Chengzhang had sent someone to inform him to gather at the gate of the Ye Family at noon.

After putting away the Meteorite Sword, Ye Qingchen took out a bracelet from the Cosmos Ring and wore it on his wrist.

In an instant, the aura of his cultivation was concealed.

This bracelet was called the Qi Sealing Bracelet. It could lower the cultivation of the wearer by a few levels, making it difficult for others to detect the true cultivation of the wearer.

Only after taking off the bracelet would the true cultivation of the wearer be completely exposed.

This bracelet was something he had asked for from Hu Tianqing. Today was the time to use it.

After putting the bracelet on his right hand, Ye Qingchen left the Qingchen Courtyard.

Arriving at the entrance of the Ye Family, Ye Qingchen noticed that Ye Chengzhang and the others were already waiting there.

"Why are you so slow? Don't you know that today is the day of the 'Starryfall Martial Competition'? Why did you make us wait for so long?"

Seeing Ye Qingchen, Ye Chenyi frowned and shouted.

Ye Qingchen ignored Ye Chenyi's scolding and walked out of the door first.

"Stop right there!"

Ye Chenyi shouted angrily and struck out with his palm!

However, Ye Qingchen didn't even look at him and dodged his palm.

He turned around and looked at Ye Chenyi and said coldly,

"Ye Chenyi, if you want to die in a hurry, you can wait until the start of the martial competition. I will definitely satisfy you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingchen left without looking back.

"You!"

Ye Chenyi was immediately enraged. He wanted to continue to stop him, but he was stopped by Ye Chengzhang.

"Forget it, let him be. After you defeat him in the contest field, he will naturally restrain himself."

Ye Chengzhang looked at Ye Qingchen's back and said indifferently, "Such an arrogant person will not have a good ending in the end."

If he didn't want Ye Qingchen to be under the control of the Ye family, he wouldn't have allowed Ye Qingchen to be so impudent.

"When Yi becomes a strong person in the future, it will be time for you to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Ye Chengzhang snorted coldly in his heart.

He no longer cared about Ye Qingchen. He waved his hand and left the Ye family with Ye Chenyi and the others.

In the center of Starryfall City, there was a huge contest field.

This contest field had existed for a long time. Some of the more influential forces in the city would often use it to hold some large-scale events to increase their own influence.

Today, it was also the stage of the "Starryfall Martial Competition", and it was open to everyone in the Starryfall City.

After entering the contest field, Ye Qingchen found that it was already packed with people.

Apart from the stands reserved for the four major powers of Starryfall, the stands for the ordinary audience were already packed with people. There was no place to sit.

Standing in front of a railing, Ye Qingchen waited for Ye Chengzhang and the others while listening to the conversations around him.

"Hey, who do you think will be the winner of the Starryfall Martial Competition this time?"

"It might be hard to say half a year ago, but according to the news released by the Ye Family, the final winner will probably be the young master of the Ye Family, Ye Chenyi."

"I never thought that the Ye Family would actually produce such a genius... After awakening the 'Origin Spirit Martial Veins', it means that he will very likely become an 'Anchorite' expert in the future!"

"Anchorite, ah... That is a peerless expert that only superpowers can have in the entire Adari!"

The surrounding people could not help but reveal looks of envy.

"Anchorite..." This legendary title was like an existence in the heavens to them!

"It seems like the Green Cloud College will definitely choose Ye Chenyi this time and take him away."

"Sigh, the Ye Family is really lucky. Not only did they produce Ye Qingchen, they also produced Ye Chenyi."

"Ye Qingchen? Forget it. He was crippled by the Green Cloud College a month ago, and was expelled!"

"Right now, he is probably not much better in the Ye Family."

"His Martial Meridian has already been crippled. He is no different from a piece of trash. If the Ye Family still wants him, then it can only be said that the Ye Family is too kind."

Hearing that the topic of conversation had gradually shifted to him, Ye Qingchen could not help but laugh.

He wondered what kind of expression they would have when he appeared on the stage and defeated his opponent.

"Look! The people of the Ye Family are here!"

An exclamation suddenly erupted from the stands.

Ye Qingchen immediately raised his head and looked over.

On the ordinary stands, there was an arch-shaped stand that occupied the best place in the field of vision.

This stand was owned by the Ye Family, Jiang Family, City Lord's Mansion, and the Essen Chamber of Commerce.

When Ye Chengzhang brought Ye Chenyi to the stands of the Ye Family, countless gazes converged on Ye Chenyi.

Right now, everyone in the Starryfall City knew that Ye Chenyi could be called a "genius" among the younger generation of the Starryfall City.

Facing so many gazes, Ye Chenyi was a little nervous, but he quickly adjusted himself and responded to those gazes with his best condition.

"Patriarch Ye, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been?"

Suddenly, a hearty laughter sounded from behind Ye Chengzhang.

Ye Chengzhang turned around and replied with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Steward Hu. Everything is fine."

Hu Tianqing smiled slightly. Just as he was about to say something, a cold snort suddenly sounded from behind him.

"His son is now the number one genius in the Starryfall City. How can he not be good?"

The two of them looked over and saw a tall and strong middle-aged man with a silver-robed youth appear in their line of sight.

When he saw the middle-aged man, Ye Chengzhang's expression turned cold.

He then smiled and said, "Patriarch Jiang, it's been a long time since we last saw each other... But from the look on your face, it seems that you haven't been well recently?"

This middle-aged man was the Patriarch of the Jiang Family, Jiang Haoyun!

The black-robed youth behind him was his son, Jiaang Yinlong.

Everyone in the Starryfall City knew that the Ye Family and the Jiang Family were mortal enemies.

Thus, when the two of them appeared, their words were filled with a faint sense of confrontation.

Jiang Haoyun snorted coldly, his expression not looking too good.

What Ye Chengzhang said was indeed true. His Jiang Family had indeed not been doing well recently.

The main reason was that after the news of Ye Chenyi's extraordinary talent was spread, the merchants who had originally worked with the Jiang Family started to waver, and even left the Jiang Family to seek cooperation with the Ye Family.

Therefore, the Jiang Family had suffered a great loss in terms of economic development.

That was why he was so cynical towards Ye Chengzhang earlier.

Seeing that the two of them were not giving each other face, Hu Tianqing quickly came out to mediate the situation and divert the topic.

"Hahaha, speaking of the son of the Patriarch Ye... Young Master Ye, the rumors about you in the Starryfall City have been getting more and more exaggerated lately."

"Everyone is talking about you as the most outstanding genius in the younger generation of the Starryfall City. What do you think?"

"Ye Chenyi greets Steward Hu and Patriarch Ye." Ye Chenyi bowed first and then smiled, "These rumors are a bit exaggerated. I am very clear about my own strength."

Although he said that, everyone could see the pride on his face that could not be concealed.

Hu Tianqing nodded and suddenly turned around to smile. He said, "Patriarch Qin, why are you here so late today? This doesn't seem like your style."

The other two Patriarchs also turned around.

A middle-aged man wearing a light silver robe and a blue-clothed girl appeared in front of them.

He was the City Lord of Starryfall City, Qin Hai!

The girl was his daughter, Qin Qianrou!

"It took me some time to entertain a distinguished guest, so I came late today. Please forgive me."

Qin Hai cupped his fists and smiled.

"Hehe, what are you saying, Patriarch Qin? I just waited a little longer, that's nothing." Hu Tianqing laughed.

"However, if my guess is correct, this is the 'esteemed guest' that City Lord Qin mentioned."

Hu Tianqing's gaze fell on a red-robed elder behind Qin Hai, and his eyes could not help but become serious.

Qin Hai smiled slightly and laughed.

"That's right, this is the outer court elder of Green Cloud College — Elder Lee Huan!"
