Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Trying Out Skills

The two who swaggered into Ye Chen's courtyard, leading the way, were none other than Zhao Jing and Bai Kun.

They were the other two people, who the Qingyun Sect's nominal disciples called "The Three Fools of the Qingyun Sect."

Qingyun Sect had a rule where, without the owner's permission, no one should barge into someone else's residence. Zhao Jing and Bai Kun kicked the door and barged into Ye Chen's courtyard nonetheless, clearly showing no respect for Ye Chen as the owner.

"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, this is our Qingyun Sect's number one fool, Ye Chen."

As Zhao Jing broke into the courtyard and saw Ye Chen standing at the doorway, he paused for a moment before looking at Ye Chen indifferently and then turned to the group that followed him and said.

With a smirk, Bai Kun standing beside Zhao Jing added, "Yeah, junior brothers and sisters since you've just joined Qingyun Sect, it's the duty of us senior brothers to introduce you to some 'noteworthy characters' within the sect. You all should get to know this Ye Chen well."

"In the future, you all must cultivate diligently, and not end up like him, always bottom-ranked within Qingyun Sect and getting beaten up like a stray dog every day, losing face for everyone!"

The ones following behind Zhao Jing and Bai Kun were all young boys and girls around eleven or twelve years old. Judging by their curious looks, it was clear they were a new batch of disciples recently accepted by the Qingyun Sect.

Ye Chen chuckled coldly. He understood why Zhao Jing and Bai Kun had suddenly shown up; it turned out new disciples had arrived at the sect, and they wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate him further, to cement his reputation as the biggest fool in Qingyun Sect.

Not focusing on cultivation but instead obtaining pleasure from humiliating others, such people were truly shameless!

Ye Chen had already been speechless from knowing about Zhao Jing and Bai Kun's character through the memories of his current body, and now that he had seen them in person, he gained a deeper understanding of the phrase "shameless."

"It's time to settle this grudge," Ye Chen thought, watching as Zhao Jing and Bai Kun enthusiastically "introduced" him to the new disciples, a strange smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

If he was in control of this body, he would of course resolve any grudges from his predecessor. Since these two had come looking for trouble, he certainly wouldn't let them off the hook.

Lifting his feet, Ye Chen walked towards a corner of the courtyard.

Ye Chen's movement made Zhao Jing and Bai Kun, who had been speaking merrily, pause, and all the new disciples turned their heads to Ye Chen together.

Among the new disciples, a pretty little lass in white garb with big eyes carefully observed Ye Chen and murmured to herself, "Why do I feel like this 'Brother Ye Chen' is quite extraordinary?"

It was not just this little lass; many of the new disciples found it strange too.

Logically, Ye Chen, who was called the number one fool of Qingyun Sect by Zhao Jing and Bai Kun, should have been a completely incompetent and subservient person; however, strangely enough, these youngsters sensed an air of confidence that only strong individuals had in Ye Chen.

In comparison to the shifty-eyed Zhao Jing and Bai Kun, all of the new disciples couldn't help but feel that Ye Chen seemed more like an expert.

Moreover, this set of fist skills grew stronger with each punch. By the third form, the power could reach a staggering eight hundred pounds. Ye Chen had previously been defeated by this very technique.

As Bai Kun's punch was about to hit Ye Chen, Ye Chen remained completely calm. He didn't dodge or evade but instead swung the wooden stick in his hand directly towards Bai Kun's fist, choosing to face the attack head-on.

"My fist can even shatter greenstone; you think you can stop it with a stick?" Bai Kun sneered coldly as he saw Ye Chen brace for the punch, "Break!"

True Qi surged within his body toward his fist, aiming to snap the stick in half.

"You're overthinking it," Ye Chen said calmly. The moment his stick made contact with Bai Kun's fist, the True Qi Vortex inside of him vibrated slightly, and powerful True Qi was channeled directly into the stick.

"Buzz!"

The previously unremarkable wooden stick burst into a dazzling blue Qi radiance, which completely overshadowed Bai Kun's whistling fist wind.

Boom!

In the next instant, everyone witnessed Bai Kun get struck as if by lightning, spewing blood from his mouth, flying backward, and crashing to the ground. He tumbled several times before finally coming to a stop.

Just one move, just one, and Bai Kun was defeated, utterly powerless to fight back!

"How is this possible?!"

Lying on the ground, Bai Kun felt as if all his meridians had been severed, the pain was unbearable, but what horrified him even more was the strength of Ye Chen.

In that brief exchange, he felt a force like a tidal wave crashing down on him, and he had no doubt that Ye Chen's move could have killed him outright!

Earlier, he boasted he would defeat Ye Chen within three moves; now, that seemed like a foolish dream.

"How... how did you become so strong?"

Seeing Bai Kun defeated with a single move, lying on the ground like a dead dog, Zhao Jing was even more shocked.

He couldn't believe that Ye Chen, who had been defeated by his hands just two days ago, had suddenly become so powerful, powerful enough to defeat Bai Kun in one move.

When he looked at Ye Chen again, Zhao Jing realized that Ye Chen had changed completely from before.

Even, he found it somewhat daunting to meet Ye Chen's penetrating gaze!
