The crowd was unaware of Sun Chang’s thoughts; he didn’t care about the Martial Artist Conference at all. His sole objective was to cripple Ye Ming, deliver him to the Li Family father and son for disposal, and then collect his remaining paynt.
A total of five hundred million in rewards was enough for him to live a carefree and joyous life until death.
He could find all kinds of won, the re thought of which excited him imnsely.
He diligently practiced martial arts not for fa but purely to make money through force, after which he would seek pleasure with beauties. When his funds were nearly depleted, he would co out again to work as a rcenary.
Using this approach, he had spent half his life in the shadows and unexpectedly joined the ranks of the Great Grandmasters.
"That guy, did he really flee the battle? What a disappointnt," Xia Ningning said with a look of contempt. She thought back to the words she once exchanged with Ye Ming, expecting him to agree to her conditions—now, it all seed rather laughable.
Although Xu Lele didn’t say much on the surface, she felt sowhat let down.
She didn’t want to see Ye Ming flee from battle. Even if he were defeated, she was willing to defy her family and elope with Ye Ming, leaving Yanjing.
Just as she felt disappointed, a young man suddenly ran onto the stage.
He said with a guilty face, "I’m sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way here."
The speaker was Ye Ming.
His face bore an awkward smile as he apologized to the referee and the audience.
Over these past days, Ye Ming had frantically explored the third level of the Sky-shattering Stone Technique, and had finally found so clues last night.
After tirelessly working all night, he ultimately deciphered the third level’s mystery, the circulation of True Qi.
Eventually, he managed to master it just before the Martial Artist Conference was about to start, then sprinted at full power to the venue, never expecting to be five minutes late.
Upon seeing Ye Ming appear, both Xu Lele and Xia Ningning breathed a sigh of relief—it was incredibly close.
On the other hand, Lin ngdie sighed and muttered to herself, "This Ye Ming, he’s a bit too careless, to actually be late. But fortunately, he didn’t flee the battle!"
Lin ngdie seed very pleased with Ye Ming’s tily arrival.
Little did she know, her inadvertently spoken words had caused Liang Hao to clench his fists tightly.
Those involved are often too close to see clearly, but Liang Hao could see all too clearly that Lin ngdie’s heart had been captivated by Ye Ming, which greatly annoyed him and fird his resolve to kill Ye Ming.
Wang Yating, seated beside Jiang Long, always maintained a stoic expression. Yet even her face began to change upon seeing Ye Ming.
...
On the stage, Sun Chang watched Ye Ming with a chuckle and said, "I thought you’d beco a coward and I scared you off!"
Ye Ming replied with a smile, "Elder, I heard all you just said. I appreciate you being willing to wait for , but that doesn’t an you can mock ."
Sun Chang snorted coldly, his expression turning disdainful imdiately, "Ignorant youngster, you speak with such grandeur. I’m not afraid to tell you, I’m not here for the champion’s title—I ca for you."
"For ? Elder, it seems we have never t before," Ye Ming responded, confused.
Sun Chang indifferently said, "Soone offered a high price for to cripple you, to turn you into a eunuch, so let’s not waste any more ti and get ready to start."
"Turn into a eunuch?" Ye Ming smacked his lips. Such a perverse request—he knew who it was without needing Sun Chang to point it out.
His gaze shifted to the Li Family’s private box, where his eyes t with Li Kai’s.
"The Li Family really is willing to spend money, but Elder, I also want to tell you, sotis money isn’t so easy to earn. If they are willing to offer such a high price, it also signifies that I’m worth that much."
Ye Ming said, "How could such a windfall simply fall into your lap?"
Sun Chang was still very confident in his own abilities; there was no way Ye Ming’s words would scare him off.
He was already impatient to act, knowing that the mont he crippled Ye Ming, the hefty sum would be his. He no longer wanted to waste ti talking and imdiately gave a signal to the referee, indicating that they could begin.
At the command, Sun Chang radiated a thick murderous aura.
"I must take this money; if I can’t even handle a junior, haven’t I wasted all these years? Spare the nonsense and prepare to die!"
No sooner had his voice fallen than Sun Chang stomped his foot, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow.
His face twisted into a ferocious smile, revealing the full might of a Great Grandmaster.
Choosing to cut through the chaos with a swift strike, he had no intention of giving Ye Ming a chance to struggle.
"Such incredible speed, is this what it ans to be a Great Grandmaster?"
"My eyes can’t even keep up; the reputation of a Great Grandmaster is certainly well-deserved!"
"To think that the first match of the martial artists’ tournant would feature a Great Grandmaster, it’s really exciting!"
With a simple sprint, Sun Chang imdiately drew discussions from the audience.
They were ordinary martial artists, seldom having the opportunity to face true masters, so seeing a Great Grandmaster in action was naturally thrilling.
While so were excited, others were worried.
Xu Lele felt a powerful presence, leaving her heart filled with fear.
The strength displayed by Sun Chang was comparable to that of Elder Wang from her family, and she was concerned that Ye Ming might not be his match.
In the space of a flick, Sun Chang’s body had already arrived in front of Ye Ming.
And yet, Ye Ming made no move to resist.
He stood there quietly, watching as his opponent closed in on him.
"Since you’re here for the money, I won’t be polite to you either," Ye Ming said indifferently.
"Ignorant junior, you won’t be polite to ? You are welco to try!" Sun Chang bellowed, his fist already smashing towards Ye Ming.
Bang!
After a loud noise, Ye Ming remained unshaken.
Sun Chang’s full-force strike did not hit Ye Ming but was blocked by a golden light barrier half a ter away from his body.
"Huh?"
Sun Chang’s face showed confusion.
His all-out attack had failed to reach Ye Ming.
He wondered what had blocked him.
"Kid, are you a Great Grandmaster?"
In puzzlent, Sun Chang asked, "Did you use a True Qi protective barrier just now?"
If that were true, then Ye Ming’s strength must be quite high.
To rely solely on True Qi to defend against the full attack of a Great Grandmaster ant that Ye Ming’s True Qi had to be exceptionally robust, even surpassing Sun Chang’s.
Ye Ming shook his head and replied, "True Qi, I haven’t used it yet."
With that, he pointed to the delicate Jade Pendant around his neck.
Below, an audience mber recognized it and said, "That’s a Protective Jade Amulet, capable of blocking a punch from a Great Grandmaster; truly impressive!"
