A voice reverberated throughout the arena. “Shi Mei, I already warned you. Your problem with me was not over, and now you were even bolder. I arrived late on purpose to give space for you to fight among yourselves, yet you did not appreciate the opportunity we gave you. Let me tell you, you were not qualified to fight my Alchemist Valley.” The atmosphere instantly fell silent. Thousands of eyes focused on the source of the voice that now shook the martial arena. Elder Shi Mei was terrified because she recognized the voice; it was the young master’s voice. But what made her even more fearful was the power the young master emitted—his cultivation had surpassed her own. Her face drained of color, cold sweat trickled from her temples, her body trembled violently. Sun Xiang lifted Shi Mei into the air. With a casual motion, the woman’s body was thrown upward, then halted in the grip of a pressure that constricted all her joints. Sun Xiang walked through the air like a leader; he did no

"Brother Xiang, let me handle this bastard. Only a coward would order others to settle his problems, that shows he had no strength at all, until he begged others for help." Jhi Chen immediately carried Sun Xi’er into the air, then he kissed Sun Xi’er right before his eyes. Their lips met in front of thousands of eyes, making the atmosphere instantly freeze. After that, Jhi Chen embraced Sun Xi’er’s waist, soft as if boneless. Then Jhi Chen pointed his finger at Sun Yongzheng. It was a blatant humiliation. "Didn’t you consider my lover your future wife? Now look who she chose." Sun Xi’er also immediately hugged Jhi Chen’s waist tightly. Her face shone, her body clung without hesitation. Everyone was stunned by their actions; it told them all that the relationship between the two was truly real. Many disciples covered their mouths, some elders frowned. No one dared to speak, because the truth was shown openly before their eyes. Sun Yongzheng’s face was extremely ugly; it was as if he

Jhi Chen wanted to end all of this, and the most powerful way to end it was to show everyone his true strength. Because only those who possessed strength would be respected. “Thank you for worrying about me. But I can’t let this grudge continue. I have to end all of this, so I won’t receive false respect. Many people respect me because I’m Xi’er’s lover. I want them to respect me sincerely, from the bottom of their hearts, and that sincerity can only be achieved by showing my full power.” Jhi Chen looked at Sun Quan. That gaze contained no anger, only absolute calm. The aura surrounding his body felt different from before, like someone who had already decided his path in life without a trace of regret. He took the scroll, then stepped forward and flew toward the martial arena. The wind followed his movements, swirling around him as if submitting to the determination emanating from within. Every eye followed his motion, every breath was held. There was no sound, only the heartbeat o

However, Sun Quan was not someone ordinary. When his hammer attack was neutralized, he immediately unleashed another hammer technique. Thousands of hammers formed in the air. Each hammer vibrated intensely, filled with enough power to tear apart the space around it. A thunderous roar echoed across the sky, shaking the entire arena. The spectators looked up with wide eyes, witnessing thousands of hammers spinning above Jhi Chen’s head like a storm of destruction ready to fall at any moment. Jhi Chen felt the immense pressure radiating from each hammer above him. The air around him grew heavy, every breath pressing against his chest. Even so, his expression showed not a trace of fear. He simply looked to the sky, his eyes calm, reading every current of energy descending upon him. He had to admit that Sun Quan’s power was unlike anyone he had ever faced. The aura radiating from his opponent revealed a battle-hardened warrior, experienced and refined in combat. Only two ranks apart, ye

Sun Quan immediately coughed up several mouthfuls of blood after losing contact with his Sky Flames. The blood gushed out, splattering the ground before him. His body shook violently, his eyes widened in pain that pierced deep into his soul. Within those Sky Flames, Sun Quan had left traces of his own soul. But now, the flames had been purified by the Blue Lotus Flame, causing a backlash that directly struck his soul’s core. The pain wasn’t only physical—it was an agony that burned his consciousness from within. The Demon Queen Flame returned before Jhi Chen and began circling his head. Its movement was lively and rhythmic, as if dancing in the air to express joy. It seemed to tell Jhi Chen that he had underestimated its power. “All right, forgive me. I did underestimate you. It’s not that I doubted you, I was just worried—because you were a gift from my parents. Now you can return. I must finish this battle,” said Jhi Chen calmly, raising his hand. The Demon Queen Flame spun once
