Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

Not long after.

A large group of people arrived at the arena in a noisy commotion.

A large group of people, mostly first-year university students, had already gathered here to sign up for membership.

When they saw the members of the eight major guilds storming open the venue doors, they immediately dispersed, having just been discussing the Starry Night Tournament.

Hongwu and Zhuge Yue approached Ye Chen with worried expressions.

Are you confident?

"Although you have reached the third level of Martial Artist, your opponent is at the sixth level of Martial Master, which is a whole major realm higher than you."

Ye Chen waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to say anything more.

Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Chen and Zheng Yue stepped onto the arena one after the other.

Zheng Yue had calmed down considerably by this point.

She stared at Ye Chen and asked one last question:

"Are you sure you want to fight me?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

"You need to understand that if you lose, not only will Star Glory become a laughingstock, but you yourself will be utterly defeated. The eight of us guilds will continue to suppress you until you graduate. Do you know what that means?"

"What does that mean?" Ye Chen looked at her calmly.

Zheng Yue said coldly:

"This means all your resources will be divided up, you'll have S-level talent but won't be able to quickly improve your cultivation level, you'll be left behind by everyone, and become utter trash!"

"It sounds...like it's serious."

Ye Chen smiled slightly. "If I don't fight, will you let the Star Glory Society go?"

"Won't!"

Zheng Yue answered decisively, "The suppression will definitely continue, but it's better than a complete disbandment. At least your resource supply won't be affected, but I can't guarantee the same for other members."

"That settles it then."

"You have a second option!"

"explain."

"Disband the Starshine Guild, and I can make you the vice president of Flowing Cloud! Second only to the president, above all others!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap, Liuyun is the second-best guild, they just give out the vice-guild leader position like that?!"

"That's a lie. First, they'll trick Ye Chen into disbanding the Star Glory Society, then kick him out of Flowing Cloud, solving the problem without bloodshed."

"Do you think Ye Chen is an idiot? He has the support of all the S-level geniuses in the freshman year, do you think he's some kind of moron?"

"Hmph, in my opinion, this is Zheng Yue's real purpose. Ye Chen is no ordinary kid. He reached a level that most students only achieve by the end of their sophomore year in the first semester of his freshman year. There aren't many prodigies like him in the entire history of our school!"

"You mean Zheng Yue is actually trying to take this opportunity to win him over... No way..."

"Eighty percent!"

"I'm so lucky... This is like a windfall!"

……

Hongwu and the others exchanged glances, all seeing a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Joining a large guild and immediately securing the second-place position is much easier than starting your own guild from scratch.

One option offers a huge, stable income, while the other requires continuous resource investment. Even a dog could figure this out.

If Ye Chen chooses to join, they will face even stronger suppression, or they may choose to join other guilds and be exploited.

At this moment, everyone felt a little nervous.

……

On the stage.

Ye Chen remained expressionless.

In full view of everyone, he said something that shocked everyone.

"Why don't you consider joining my Star Glory Society? If you come, I can give you a vice president position, but you have to make it clear beforehand that you will have to step down if your cultivation level is surpassed."

Everyone's eyes widened instantly.

Reversing the Heavenly Gang?

They were clearly inviting you, yet you invited a Martial Master Level 6 expert to your new guild, where the highest level is only Martial Warrior Level 3?

Isn't this just making a fool of yourself?!

He's even being surpassed in terms of realm and wants to step down?!

This is so incredibly humiliating! They're not treating Zheng Yue like a human being at all!

really.

The moment Ye Chen finished speaking, Zheng Yue's expression turned extremely gloomy.

The powerful aura of a sixth-level Martial Master instantly surged up, directly approaching Ye Chen.

The latter smiled and unleashed his martial arts prowess at the third level.

Without exchanging another word, the two afterimages collided instantly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A violent impact sound rang out instantly.

Neither of them carried weapons, it was just a pure physical contest, but Zheng Yue was of a higher level and quickly gained the upper hand.

Zheng Yue's eyes turned cold, and seizing an opportunity, she delivered a solid elbow strike to Ye Chen's chest.

Click!

The sound of the sternum cracking could be heard throughout the venue.

Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and crashed heavily onto a corner of the arena.

Everyone gasped in shock.

If it were them, this would have been enough to take half their lives!

But Ye Chen slowly stood up, patted his chest, and went to meet him again with a blank expression.

His sunken chest, however, recovered to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What terrifying resilience!"

"Is this really an S-rank talent?! No way!"

"His cultivation speed is so fast, and his recovery ability is so strong, this Ye Chen is indeed extraordinary!"

On the stage.

Even Zheng Yue's eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

She originally wanted to finish the matter quickly and show him the difference between them.

But now it seems that it's not that simple.

The two clashed again.

Neither of them used their talents; it was a pure contest of strength.

The sounds of impact kept ringing out.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Ye Chen was knocked down time and time again, but he got up again and again. His expression gradually changed from calm to indifference.

He looked utterly bored.

It feels like we're playing an extremely boring game.

This behavior enraged Zheng Yue, who then slammed her face to the ground and rubbed it against her.

The initial thought of not wanting to use her talent and gain a reputation for bullying the weak quickly faded. Now, she just wanted to teach this arrogant guy a lesson!

"Buzz!!!"

The moment the two collided and separated again, a surge of red energy rapidly rose from Zheng Yue's body.

Power control!

To perfectly control one's own power without any waste, and to achieve the ultimate in the restraint, adaptation, constraint, and precise allocation of one's own power.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen immediately let out a low shout.

"A dragon!"

In an instant, his body swelled from 1.8 meters to 2.5 meters, covered in golden dragon scales, with ferocious bone claws, and an overwhelming pressure spread out.

Those who had never seen him transform before stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in surprise.

"Holy crap! That's so damn cool!"

"A dragon-human? This talent allows them to transform?!"

"His arms are thicker than my waist, I feel like he could kill me with one punch right now..."

……

Ye Chen had no time to pay attention to what was happening below the stage. With all his attributes greatly enhanced, he rushed forward, looked down at the petite Zheng Yue, and slammed his fist, which was bigger than her face, down on her without mercy.

A strong wind howled, scraping people's faces until they hurt.

But looking at Zheng Yue's calm expression, a strong sense of unease instantly welled up in his heart.

Ye Chen wanted to retract his fist, but it was too late.

The next second, Zheng Yue gently raised her hand, seemingly unintentionally blocking Ye Chen's path, but she directly pushed him aside.

Ye Chen immediately lost his balance.

A whip kick followed immediately, striking his waist.

Snap!

An even crisper sound of bones shattering rang out.

Ye Chen's massive body was instantly sent flying backward.

……

offstage.

Compared to the nervous faces of the freshmen, the members of the eight major guilds immediately showed relieved smiles upon seeing this scene.

Zheng Yue is still the invincible Zheng Yue.

Steady!
