Chapter 82: Chapter 76: The Top Ten Combat Arenas

```

"Infuse it with True Qi, with these three bells, we can all enter the next round of the competition!" Ye Chen said to Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun with a smile.

As stated by Patriarch Ye, who was hosting the first round of the competition, after snatching the Yin Yang Profound Bells, by infusing True Qi into the bells, and once they explode, it is deemed that the first round of "Bell Snatching" was a success, thus smoothly advancing to the second round of the three clans' grand competition.

By now, Ye Chen had successfully snatched bells for Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun; only the step of infusing them with True Qi remained.

Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun were not stubborn people, of course, they would not decline such a thing, and with a flick of their True Qi, they began to infuse it into the Yang Profound Bells in their hands.

However, when their True Qi entered the Yang Profound Bells, it was like throwing stones into the sea, causing not the slightest movement of the bells, let alone making them burst and acknowledging their success in Bell Snatching.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that our power is insufficient, and these Yang Profound Bells are simply not meant for us to possess?"

The faces of Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun changed.

At this moment, Ye Chen also noticed that something was amiss. With a thought, he looked again at the bells flying all over the sky. This time, with a light flicker of his figure, two black Yin Xuanling bells instantly landed in his hands.

This ease, once again, surprised the countless onlookers who were paying attention to Ye Chen, Bai Xiaodong, and Qian Yun.

Everyone could see that this first round of "Bell Snatching" posed no difficulty for Ye Chen!

Ye Chen's power had already far surpassed the requirements of the first round!

He could easily capture any flying Yin Yang Profound Bells!

"If the Yang Profound Bell isn't working, let's try these two then!"

Ye Chen handed the two Yin Xuanling bells to them again.

If this attempt still didn't work, then they would have to snatch them by themselves.

This time, when Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun infused True Qi into the Yin Xuanling bells, two loud "bangs" were heard, and the two bells burst apart immediately.

"We did it!"

"We succeeded in Bell Snatching!"

The instant the two Yin Xuanling bells exploded, Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun felt a great force ejecting them from the Thousand Feet Field.

At the same time, the two white Yang Profound Bells Ye Chen had given them earlier flew out of their palms again and started to zoom haphazardly back inside the Thousand Feet Field.

Instantly, both understood that with Ye Chen's help, they had successfully accomplished the first round of the competition!

Although they had failed to make the Yang Profound Bells explode, successfully snatching the Yin Xuanling bells had allowed them to enter the top one hundred and to secure one of the ninety deputy positions in the second round of Arena Combat!

Seeing that Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun had completed the "Bell Snatching", Ye Chen didn't hesitate any longer. A blue gleam of Qi surged from his hand, and in an instant, countless strands of the world's True Qi rushed into the white Yang Profound Bell he held.

The Yang Profound Bell, which Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun had failed to make explode, blew up instantly in Ye Chen's hands with a "bang", and a dazzling white light flared across the entire Thousand Feet Field!

This signified that Ye Chen too had succeeded in "Bell Snatching"!

He was the first to capture one of the ten Yang Profound Bells and secured the first "chief" position in the second round of Arena Combat!

After Ye Chen flew out of the Thousand Feet Field, those young contestants from the three clans, who had been shocked by Ye Chen's formidable bodily movements, finally re-entered the Bell Snatching mode.

"Bell Snatching!"

"Like Ye Chen, let's snatch the Yin Yang Profound Bells and move on to the next round!"

Dozens of figures became extremely active all over the Thousand Feet Field, chasing the wildly flying Yin Xuanling bells, and those powerful disciples from the three clans were even reaching for the remaining nine Yang Profound Bells.

The whole Thousand Feet Field plunged back into the frenzied competition of "Bell Snatching"!

At this time, Ye Chen, Bai Xiaodong, and Qian Yun stood outside the Thousand Feet Field, watching the ongoing first round and waiting for the final results to emerge.

Half a tea time after the three of them exited the Thousand Feet Field, another figure flew out from the field.

This figure, dressed in bright yellow martial attire, with an attractive face, was none other than the genius girl from the Bai Family, Bai Xiaodie!

Bai Xiaodie also succeeded in Bell Snatching, and like Ye Chen, she too captured one of the ten Yang Profound Bells!

As soon as Bai Xiaodie landed outside the field, she looked towards Ye Chen, who was watching the battle. The girl, as concise and straightforward as her attire, directly approached Ye Chen and greeted him, "Hello Ye Chen, my name is Bai Xiaodie."

"You're really amazing, to be able to catch the Yang Profound Bell so quickly in the first round. And for you to catch three at once! In terms of agility, I'm nowhere close to you!"

Seeing Bai Xiaodie walk up to Ye Chen all of a sudden, Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun's hearts began to race.

Previously, they had never interacted with Bai Xiaodie, and now here she was, standing vivaciously in front of them, naturally causing their hearts to beat furiously.

Even Bai Xiaodong, who came from the same Bai Family, had never stood so close to Bai Xiaodie before.

Now, because of Ye Chen, Bai Xiaodie had come to stand beside them, allowing them to closely observe the renowned genius girl of the three great families!

Ye Chen, unlike Bai Xiaodong and Qian Yun, simply nodded with a smile to Bai Xiaodie, exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then turned his gaze back to the Thousand Feet Field.

Not long after Ye Chen and Bai Xiaodie, as well as the other two, had succeeded in Bell Snatching, another five or six people snatched Yin Xuanling bells and flew out of the Thousand Feet Field.

Subsequently, the eleventh-layer True Qi powerhouse from the Qian Family, Qian Ming, lived up to expectations, becoming the third to obtain a Yang Profound Bell.

```

When Ye Xue, Ye Chen's older cousin, snatched the eighth Yang Profound Bell, the Yin Yang Profound Bells that were still flying about in the Thousand Feet Field were now few and far between.

In the end, as half an hour passed by, the last Yin Xuanling was captured and successfully filled with True Qi by a sixteen-year-old teenager from the Ye Family, leaving no more Yin Yang Profound Bells flying chaotically around the Thousand Feet Field; they had all been taken!

Ninety Yin Xuangling and ten Yang Profound Bells had all found their respective snatchers!

"The first round has ended!"

"The Top one hundred contenders have all been selected!"

"My child, Luoer, succeeded in Bell Snatching!"

"Qian Feng, you're amazing, you snatched a Yang Profound Bell!"

After all who had snatched a bell made their way out of the Thousand Feet Field, the watching clan members from the three families crowded in, many of them shouting excitedly.

These excited individuals were unmistakably connected to those who had succeeded in Bell Snatching.

"Young Master!"

"Chen!"

Little Tao'er, together with Ye Xiaotian and Lin Rin, waved their hands excitedly toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's performance in this round had shocked all the clan members of the three families, and the three of them were the happiest!

However, in the competition among the three major clans, success naturally means there is also failure.

At this moment, the more than seven hundred young men who didn't snatch a bell walked out of the Thousand Feet Field with dejected expressions, many shedding tears.

Although they had a realistic assessment of their own abilities, failing in the very first round still brought them down.

It meant that they had no chance in the next two rounds and were now without hope for access to the ancestral land, which only opened once every few hundred years!

The family members of these youngsters flocked around them, comforting them in hushed tones, easing their emotions slightly.

The first round had concluded.

Patriarch Ye, who was overseeing the first round, walked out with a smile on his face.

He even nodded towards Ye Chen with a smile, causing Ye Chen to be momentarily stunned.

Ye Chen's performance in the first round had indeed brought a pleasant surprise to Patriarch Ye; besides Ye Xue, the younger generation of the Ye Family didn't have any standout youths this time. Ye Chen had suddenly kindled great hope within him.

Maybe this young man could overpower the rest and claim the first place in the competition among the three clans, bringing glory to the entire Ye Family!

Patriarch Ye even harbored such expectations; he was eagerly looking forward to Ye Chen's performance in the next rounds!

"Alright, the first round, 'Bell Snatching,' has ended!"

"The selections for the main contenders of the ten arenas and the ninety supplementary contenders for the next round, 'Arena Combat,' have all been determined!"

"Now, let Patriarch Qian announce the rules for the second round!"

After Patriarch Ye joyously declared the end of the first round, Patriarch Qian, the only one among the three patriarchs who had not yet spoken, stood up.

Patriarch Qian was of middle-age among the three clan leaders, a vigorous old man in his sixties with a full beard.

His gaze swept over the one hundred youths who had qualified for the second round and spoke, "You hundred people have successfully snatched the bells and entered the second round, 'Arena Combat'!"

"For the second round 'Arena Combat,' ten major combat arenas have been prepared for you!"

As he spoke, a black box appeared directly in his hands. Patriarch Qian gently opened the box, and innumerable rays of light shot out, descending upon the Thousand Feet Field.

Before everyone's eyes, ten massive arena clusters suddenly appeared in the originally vast Thousand Feet Field amid a great flash of light.

Each arena cluster featured a colossal white platform standing six meters high and with a diameter of eleven to twelve meters, surrounded by nine smaller black platforms each three meters high and approximately five to six meters in diameter.

Each arena cluster, identical in design, totaled ten.

This was precisely the ten major combat arenas Patriarch Qian had referred to!

Seeing the ten combat arenas instantly take shape within the Thousand Feet Field, all the clan members from the three families were taken aback. They could tell that these platforms were the result of the light emitted from the box in Patriarch Qian's hands, condensing into form.

The box in Patriarch Qian's hand was clearly a treasure, capable of instantly setting up combat arenas!

"Condensing Qi into Platforms?"

"This must be a marvelous Creation Treasure!"

"Matched in black and white colors, just like the Yin Yang Profound Bell, could this also have been specially prepared by our ancestors for selecting clansmen to enter the ancestral land?"

Ye Chen looked at the distinct black and white combat arenas in the Thousand Feet Field, then glanced at the box in Patriarch Qian's hand, thinking to himself.

Both the flying Yin Yang Profound Bells from the first round and the instantaneously set combat arenas from the second round felt incredibly magical to him.

If these items prepared solely for the selection process to enter the ancestral land were this extraordinary, how wondrous must that mysterious ancestral land be?

Ye Chen's anticipation for the yet-to-be-explored ancestral land grew even stronger!
