From the chaotic sea of ​​stars, it began to wreak havoc on all the heavens.

Chapter 218 A Contest of Artistic Conception
"Hmm. That young man in blue just now was no ordinary person. Among those present, he might be the only one qualified to be my opponent."

Qin Sheng nodded and answered truthfully.

His words directly provoked dissatisfaction from others. What did he mean by saying that only this young man in blue was worthy of being his opponent?
Doesn't that mean they are no match for this young man in blue?
It's simply unbearable! Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't!

"Senior Brother, this person is far too arrogant."

"Exactly, exactly. Do they really think that just because they have some strength, they can be so arrogant?"

Several core disciples of the Suspended Mountain who had already reached the south gate spoke up for their senior brother.

Sikong Sheng coldly said, "Ignore him. Since this guy thinks so highly of that kid, he'll make a fool of himself when he loses. As for him, I'll make him pay for his words on the field."

Compared to the two disciples from Suspended Mountain, Lin Yun and Mo Yan were equally furious.

Qin Sheng repeatedly showed contempt for them.

At this moment, if they weren't in Qianlong Ancient City, they would all have the urge to go up and fight this guy.

Yan Chihuo's expression was also not good. "I hope that when you get to the competition, your blade will be as hard as your mouth."

Li Daoxuan fell into deep thought, vaguely feeling that perhaps what Qin Sheng said was true.

At first glance, the young man in blue might seem unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, one can discern his extraordinary nature. His extreme calmness and composure are precisely the qualities that an excellent swordsman should possess.
Murong Qingcheng, recalling the scene a year ago when she met Ye Chen in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Cangxuan Kingdom, had already begun to believe most of Qin Sheng's words.

Tuoba Ku was the same. On his way to Qianlong Ancient City, he had a brief encounter with Ye Chen and knew that Ye Chen's strength was not as simple as he had imagined.

While everyone was lost in thought, Ye Chen had already climbed onto the south gate. Without any particular posture, he simply swayed his body, yet his speed was comparable to that of Qin Sheng and Sikong Sheng.

Because of Qin Sheng, his actions naturally came to the attention of Sikong Shengyan Chihuo and others.

Apart from Sikong Sheng, who still had that arrogant, domineering face and Lin Yun and Mo Yan, who were clowns who didn't recognize their own limitations, everyone else put away their contempt.

"Long time no see." Murong Qingcheng smiled slightly and stepped forward to greet her.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "It seems that your cultivation level has improved quite a bit."

“You’re the same.” Murong Qingcheng said in a gentle tone.

While the two were talking, Lin Yun, who was lusting after Murong Qingcheng's body, couldn't help but step forward to cause trouble.

"Qingcheng, who is this person? Why don't you introduce him?" Lin Yun said gently to Murong Qingcheng, then looked at Ye Chen with a sharp, piercing gaze.

“You don’t need to get to know him as a friend.” Murong Qingcheng’s attitude towards Lin Yun was very cold, a stark contrast to her amiable demeanor when talking to Ye Chen earlier.

"Hehe, so you're a friend. Qin Sheng said before that only you are worthy of being his opponent on this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking. I'd like to see for myself."

The essence of the Heavenly Meteor Technique flowed into Lin Yun's eyes, and he looked at Ye Chen with a smile, his gaze like a meteor falling to earth, capable of destroying everything.

Ye Chen's expression hardened, just as he was about to retaliate. Tuoba Ku stepped between him and Lin Yun.

"Haha, you've finally arrived! I still don't know your name. My name is Tuoba Ku. Let's have a drink together sometime."

The two began to talk.

From Tuoba Ku's words, he learned of Qin Sheng's earlier boastful words. Lost in thought, he turned to look at Qin Sheng, and their eyes met.

Qin Sheng infused his eyes with his aloof and cold aura. Instantly, Ye Chen felt as if he were in a frozen wasteland, his body suddenly stiffening. Then, countless biting winds attacked him like blades.

Ye Chen was startled and quickly activated the Lone Peak Killing Intent he had comprehended through fusing the Thirteen Swords of Lone Peak to counter it. Instantly, the sweeping blades seemed to slow down.

His previously frozen body then returned to normal.

Qin Sheng's lips curled into a smile. As far as his divine sense was concerned, almost no artistic conception could have any effect on him.

Because he can see through and ignore the influence of all artistic conception.

However, the artistic conception derived from the fusion of Ye Chen's top-level human-grade sword technique was actually comparable to his fully perfected Aohan artistic conception, which was quite unexpected.

Of course, the "Aohan" artistic conception is only his most basic artistic conception.

He has now comprehended the essence of ice and the essence of wind through the essence of coldness, and these two essences will become his main means of fighting enemies in the future.

At the same time, a huge wave was surging in Ye Chen's heart. His Lone Peak Killing Intent had been completely perfected, but it was only on par with this person's intent.

The key point is that his artistic conception had no effect on this person in the slightest, which shows that his limit was to comprehend the artistic conception of the Lone Peak Killing Technique to perfection.

The reason this person was able to comprehend the Arrogant Cold Realm to its fullest extent is because the Arrogant Cold Realm can only be comprehended to its fullest extent.

To some extent, he has already lost out in the competition of artistic conception.

Time passed second by second. As the last person failed to leap over the Dragon Gate, the three gates sank into the ground, cracked open, and closed again as you faced the middle. The South Gate was tightly shut.

Those who pass the three gates of the Dragon Gate

Then the gates on both sides of the city gate opened automatically, and the various sects and millions of lone warriors who had come to watch the battle from outside the south gate poured in.

They each found a place to stay.

The Ice Absolute Sect is one of the seven sixth-rank sects in the Southern Continent.

The accommodation was naturally located in the very center and was the most luxurious in Qianlong Ancient City.

Qin Sheng randomly picked a room, cleaned it up a bit, and then left it alone.

Stepping out of the room, Qin Sheng saw Bing Ling and the Ice Absolute Sect disciples who had passed the Dragon Gate Trials.

This time, more than 2,000 people tried to pass the three trials of the Dragon Gate, but only 700 people passed in the end, with an elimination rate of 70%.

Can be imagined.

Although the Ice Absolute Sect is a sixth-grade sect, its core disciples and the top-ranked disciples in the inner sect have basically all entered the Embracing Yuan Realm, which meets the innate requirements for participating in the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition.

But only twelve people actually made it through, and after the elimination rounds, I'm afraid no more than half of them will actually make the list.

Upon seeing Qin Sheng emerge, disciples who had passed the Three Trials of the Dragon Gate and those who had not all stepped forward to greet him, "Senior Brother Qin."

Although Qin Sheng didn't even participate in the inner disciple ranking competition, the sect tacitly believed that he already had the strength to challenge for a place in the top five or even the top three of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Even first place wasn't out of the question.

So he very naturally called him "senior brother".

Qin Sheng nodded, then turned his gaze to Bing Ling, "Senior Sister Bing, what are you planning to do?"
