Suddenly, Ye Lingtian took a step forward and cupped his fists. He said to Ye Chen, “Hall Master, this subordinate wishes to spar with you!”
He had a reason for saying this.
First, he wanted to know how strong Ye Chen was, and how big the gap between them was.
Secondly, as Ye Lingtian had established the Hidden Dragon Building and its mysterious force, he was regarded as the strongest expert here, and thus had the most authority and commanded the most respect.
This was disadvantageous to the Hall Master. However, if the Hall Master defeated him, this would change!
Ye Chen had not expected Ye Lingtian to suddenly do something like this. A sudden spar?
However, this suited him as well. He too knew nothing about Ye Lingtian’s abilities or strength.
Everyone in Jiangnan Province said that Ye Lingtian’s abilities were terrifying, but hearsay was worthless…
It was best to experience his strength personally!
“Ye Lingtian, what’s your ranking on Huaxia’s grandmaster ranking?” Ye Chen asked.
This was currently the most direct way to measure the strength of Huaxia’s martial artists.
Ye Lingtian shook his head and said seriously, “Hall Master, I’m not listed on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings. However, I think I killed an expert in the top 200 a few months ago. I’m not too sure about that person’s exact ranking.” “Actually, Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings might not be accurate because the data of many experts are based on when they last fought, and thus can be very outdated. Unless there is a record of a recent fight, most of them are stronger than their rankings suggest. There are also some hidden experts in Jiangnan Province who are not on the rankings, but their strength is absolutely terrifying!”
“However, if one were to enter the top 100 of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings, the data is considered to be much more accurate.”
Ye Chen nodded. According to this theory, Ye Lingtian should be stronger than Qin Zhengyang. As for whether he was stronger than Tang Ao, it was uncertain. Alright!
This was a good opportunity to experience his subordinate’s strength.
Ye Chen took a step forward and said seriously, “Make your move.”
The experts dispersed one after another to give the Hall Master and Ye Lingtian space to fight.
Ye Lingtian’s eyes narrowed. He was extremely serious!
He had witnessed Ye Chen’s strength in the martial arts arena, and knew what the Hall Master was capable of.
Naturally, there was no need to go easy on him.
He bent his knees, and his legs exploded with power as he charged like a bolt of lightning toward Ye Chen.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Ye Chen, and immediately threw a punch.
Ye Chen could feel Ye Lingtian’s domineering power.
If he had not broken through to the qi transformation realm, he would be no match for Ye Lingtian.
“Hall Master, please attack!”
Ye Lingtian’s voice rang out.
“Very well!”
Ye Chen did not hesitate. He activated the Azure Dragon Phantom Body technique, then struck with his palm!
“Good timing!”
Ye Lingtian retreated and then tried to kick Ye Chen.
Ye Chen did not dodge this time. Instead, his hand took the shape of a claw and he grabbed the other party’s ankle. Then, with a burst of strength, he threw Ye Lingtian into the distance.
Ye Lingtian’s expression changed. Just as his body was about to hit the wall, he flipped over and stomped his feet on the wall, using the momentum to charge back toward Ye Chen.
A three-centimeter deep footprint was left on the wall!
How terrifying!
“Shadow Fist!”
Ye Lingtian used his killer move, causing Ye Chen’s eyes to narrow slightly. Still, he remained extremely calm.
Ye Lingtian’s strength far surpassed some of the grandmasters he had killed. It seemed like the 200th rank on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings was a watershed, where only the top 200 could be called true grandmasters!
Seeing the incoming fist, Ye Chen immediately threw a counterpunch.
Boom!
Moments later, Ye Lingtian’s expression changed drastically. His blood surged violently, and he retreated ten meters, almost falling to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the experts watching were dumbfounded.
Ye Lingtian was defeated in a one-on-one battle!
Although Ye Chen looked relaxed, he was also panting slightly. His forehead was covered in sweat. This battle had been the most exhausting one for him since he returned from the Kunlun Mountains.
Were it not for the fact that he was so far ahead in terms of martial techniques and combat experience, this fight with Ye Lingtian might have ended in a draw.
Ye Lingtian suppressed the shock in his heart and knelt down abruptly.
“Thank you for showing mercy, Hall Master!”
