Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the scene, speculating that there might be a fierce battle.

"Hehe, are you the master here?"

Since the situation had already escalated, Li Chen didn't want to give the other party any face and was about to leave.

Qiu Qianyi's face darkened slightly. Given his status, to be embarrassed in front of so many people, how could he not be angry?

"A mere servant, once you get a bit of power, you really don't know your place!"

Yang Haotian sneered, shook his head, and walked into the courtyard.

Buzz!

The inner disciples were in an uproar; this was clearly meant to embarrass Li Chen.

After all, Li Chen's fame on Nanyun Peak was unmatched. He had fought Zhang Chulong to a draw, and soon after, Yang Haotian had broken through to become an elite disciple.

The two were only a year apart, and geniuses were always compared. This was undoubtedly the first confrontation between the two major geniuses.

"Brat!"

Having been spoken to like this, if Li Chen didn't retaliate, he would be too spineless. After all, he was still young, and he immediately retorted without holding back.

Buzz!

The crowd was in an uproar, but most of them quickly covered their mouths after laughing.

Although Yang Haotian was a genius, his character was not good. Especially in the East Courtyard, there were rumors that he had improper thoughts about female disciples at a young age.

Moreover, he was always arrogant, which had already caused many inner disciples to be dissatisfied. However, they dared not say much due to his talent and strength.

Now, with a genius of similar age and strength standing up to him, everyone naturally enjoyed the spectacle.

"What did you say?"

Sure enough, Yang Haotian turned around with a dark face, coldly staring at Li Chen.

Having practiced martial arts until now, he had always had a smooth path, with both his talent and insight far surpassing his peers. How could he have ever been called such a name?

Especially by a servant he had never even noticed, his proud nature made him feel greatly insulted.

"You're not even old, and your ears are so bad!"

Li Chen shrugged. If it were in the past, the other party would indeed have been someone he needed to look up to, but not now.

With the growth of his cultivation, Li Chen's character had gradually changed. This was a transformation. As a young man, even someone as resolute as him would go through this process.

If he were to be timid in the face of these existences, the goals he set for himself would never be achieved.

Li Mingyun had taken him as a disciple for unknown reasons, but Li Chen, who had grown up in hardship, always had a sense of crisis in his heart.

Therefore, before he became strong enough to protect himself, he needed a backing, and the Xuan Yun Sect was that backing.

The two major figures on Nanyun Peak were his first step to standing firm in the Xuan Yun Sect. It wasn't that he didn't want to enter the main peak, but he couldn't refuse in front of the two major figures.

Each seemingly unbridled and arrogant act was actually a well-thought-out decision made by a heart that had seen the coldness of the world, experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and endured hardships.

"Looks like you really think you're someone!"

Yang Haotian, who had grown up with the flattery of sect disciples and even elders, no matter how intelligent, did not understand the thoughts behind the seemingly carefree exterior of the young man in front of him.

With a cold glance, he had already harbored murderous intent!

Given his status in the Xuan Yun Sect, killing someone, even if the other party was exceptionally talented, would at most result in a minor punishment.

Rustle!

Seeing Yang Haotian step forward, the disciples quickly cleared the area. Although a True Cultivation Realm martial artist was not a world-class powerhouse, the energy from their battle could easily injure them.

Li Chen's lips curled, and he slowly reached into his chest. When he reappeared, he held a damaged glove.

Today, he was going to use this sect genius to establish his authority. Even if it was high-profile, so what?

"Junior Brother Li, come in for a drink!"

Chu Ziyun, who was surrounded by the crowd, noticed the commotion at the gate, frowned slightly, and called out to Li Chen.

Although she didn't like being the center of attention, today was a celebration. If a fight broke out at the gate, it would be embarrassing for her.

Several elite disciples had heard of Li Chen but had never met him. They all turned to get a look at this person who had made a name for himself in the sect.

"Haha, Junior Sister Chu, since everyone is gathered today, why don't we let the two junior brothers spar? It will liven up the atmosphere and encourage the other junior brothers and sisters to work hard. What do you think?"

Qiu Qianyi was eager for the two to fight to the death, looking around.

"Good!"

The crowd immediately applauded, hoping for a spectacle.

"Junior Sister, just watch!"

Lu Wushuang stopped Chu Ziyun from speaking, her eyes scanning the two with interest.

"I heard you could fight a True Cultivation Realm martial artist to a draw even at the Inner Breath Realm. I won't take advantage of you, I'll let you have three moves!"

Yang Haotian stood in the center, holding his sword with one hand, looking calm and composed, exuding the air of a grandmaster.

Although he was only a teenager, his spirit was full, attracting the attention of many female disciples.

Many male disciples also compared themselves to him in their hearts. Although they were quite resentful, they had to admit that they were far behind Yang Haotian.

Zhang Chulong's face was even darker. Yang Haotian's words were clearly a taunt, implying that he couldn't beat an Inner Breath Realm martial artist. Thinking of Li Chen's performance yesterday, a cold smile appeared on his face.

Compared to Yang Haotian, Li Chen, dressed in blue, with long hair flowing, and a faint dark red birthmark visible under his messy hair, was not only a head taller but also far less impressive in appearance.

"I'm not that low. I just broke through to the True Cultivation Realm, and I haven't sunk to the level of bullying a brat!"

Determined to use Yang Haotian to establish his authority, Li Chen wanted to win a fair and square victory to declare that he had completely shed his slave status and could hold his head high.

His words caused another uproar among the disciples. The disciples from the other three peaks were secretly amazed.

Nanyun Peak was truly a blessed land, producing three elite disciples in succession. In the entire Xuan Yun Sect, the four peaks had only produced six elite disciples in the past three years.

The three elite disciples standing in the center accounted for half of them.

"Inviting death!"

Yang Haotian's face darkened, his tough image shattered by Li Chen's repeated "brat" remarks. He swiftly drew his sword and lunged at Li Chen.

As one of the few geniuses in the sect, Yang Haotian had received the best training on Dongyun Peak.

He wielded a mid-grade Azure Gold Spirit Sword, perfectly matching his true qi attributes. His cultivation technique, the advanced Xuanjin Decree, had been practiced to the third level when he broke through to the True Cultivation Realm.

Combined with his naturally strong offensive Golden Attribute true qi, his Golden Light Sword Technique was already at a masterful level.

Everyone saw a flash of golden light, and Yang Haotian seemed to be enveloped in a golden glow as he charged at Li Chen.
