Upon hearing the reminder from the three elders, the Green Dragon Four Brothers all coldly smirked.

Although their current strength wasn’t as great as Xiao Ye’s, it didn’t mean they were weak; rather, Xiao Ye’s strength was just too overwhelming.

Someone like Xiao Ye, who hadn’t undergone the True Martial Baptism yet possessed such remarkable abilities, was estimated to be unparalleled across the entire True Spirit Continent, except for Tie Xue.

As long as they didn’t anger Tie Xue, they had nothing to fear from the geniuses of the East State.

Only the ancient figures from some strong families and sects in the East State would earn their attention.

After the instructions were given, the three elders led the ten geniuses directly into the city.

"Wow, are these the ten geniuses of the Three Great States? They’ve finally arrived, everyone come and have a look!" As soon as they entered the city, a mocking voice suddenly arose.

Xiao Ye looked up and saw a short-statured young man glancing askew at them.

"The ten geniuses of the Three Great States? I think they’re more like trash. Every year, those selected from the Three Great States are just second-rate figures, how can they possibly compare to our geniuses from East State?"

"That’s not necessarily the case. I heard this year, several impressive figures emerged from the Three Great States, including one named Xiao Ye, who even caught the attention of our East State’s Tie Xue and invited him for a challenge."

"Tsk, he just swept away a bunch of second-rate trash, yet became so arrogant, even daring to accept our East State’s Tie Xue challenge. Truly brainless."

"Haha, who is this person? I really want to see what qualifies him to receive Tie Xue’s invitation."

...

Accompanying the voice of this short young man, a succession of piercing sounds suddenly filled the air, as numerous strong-willed young men and women drifted over.

Their attitudes were quite arrogant, their gazes sweeping over Xiao Ye and the others, while a powerful presence vaguely pressed down towards them.

Clearly, they were very interested in Xiao Ye.

"This..."

Just having entered the city, they drew the attention of so many of East State’s talents, and the oppressive presence caused Guo An’an, along with the four youths who won the True Martial Baptism quota by luck, to catch their breath, their faces turning pale.

Xiao Ye shook his head helplessly.

It seemed agreeing to Tie Xue’s challenge was going to result in quite a bit of trouble for him!

He truly had no interest in these excessively confident talents.

"Hmph, move aside!"

"Fiery Flame City prohibits arbitrary actions, and now that you’re blocking the way, are you trying to stir conflict between the Three Great States and East State?"

At this moment, the three elders leading Xiao Ye and the others coldly snorted in unison, unleashing a terrifying aura that forced the surrounding young men and women to retreat with unnatural expressions.

"Let’s go, ignore them!"

In the next instant, the three elders led Xiao Ye and the others, flying towards a section of the city with buildings.

"Sigh, it seems Tie Xue’s judgment isn’t very good, choosing a coward as an opponent. Faced with our mockery, he doesn’t even wish to show himself to rebut. Such a person is destined to fail in martial arts." A young man dressed in splendid attire lamented as he retreated.

"Indeed, I thought he might be some formidable guy, but he turns out to be a turtle hiding its head."

"Hahaha, I guess Tie Xue is probably just kidding, he wouldn’t seriously invite someone as cowardly as this. Everyone, don’t take it to heart."

"Oh? Among the ten second-rate figures from the Three Great States, there are some decent females. Why not stick with us? What good cultivation techniques and combat techniques could the Three Great States possibly have?"

...

The splendid attire young man clearly held considerable esteem among the group of young people.

With his commentary, the surrounding young men and women immediately echoed him, with several young men even eyeing Guo An’an intently, provoking her pretty face to turn ashen with anger.

Such words caused the three elders to slightly furrow their brows in displeasure.

These East State talents, thinking highly of themselves, were clearly determined to cause trouble!

"You all... are indeed despicable!"

At that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out, silencing the noisy crowd, making it as silent as a grave, pin-drop quiet.

The young men and women from East State wore expressions of stupefaction, and after a brief pause, their eyes flared with anger, staring at the black-robed youth among the ten geniuses from the Three Great States.

The individual... was he insulting them?

Seeing Xiao Ye stop, the three elders furrowed their brows even tighter, but refrained from intervening.

Even they didn’t hold any good impressions towards these East State young men and women.

"Damn, you brat, what did you say?"

"Do you have a death wish?"

...

Next, the young men and women from East State all angrily cursed.

"I am Xiao Ye, Tie Xue challenged me, does that have anything to do with you? Do you need to point fingers?"

"I didn’t want to bother with you, yet you keep barking ceaselessly, isn’t that just being despicable?" Xiao Ye walked in mid-air, calmly speaking.

"Ha, there’s a good show to watch." The Green Dragon Four Brothers coldly smirked, ready to enjoy the spectacle. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Sure enough.

Xiao Ye’s words were like drops of cold water into a hot oil pan, instantly exploding the atmosphere on scene, the young men and women from East State glared angrily at Xiao Ye, and several youths unleashing powerful auras rushed directly over.

"Among these people, your cultivation should be the strongest, so I’ll start by shutting you up!"

However, these youths’ attacks were easily evaded by Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye moved in mid-air, deploying the body technique Step into the Sky, charging towards the splendid attire young man embraced by the crowd.

"You brought this on yourself, don’t blame anyone else."

Seeing Xiao Ye rush towards him, the splendid attire young man was not angered but pleased, a vast Emperor Realm emerged behind him, with overwhelming Emperor Martial Power surging forth, as he struck towards Xiao Ye with his palm.

"Level 8 Early Stage Emperor cultivation?"

Xiao Ye was full of disdain, reaching out with his palm, silvery fusion imperial martial power spiraling outward, his combat strength boundless, casually shattering the young man’s attack, then swiped across him, causing the void to quake.

With Xiao Ye’s current cultivation, integrating four types of Emperor Martial Power, his strength had already stepped into the invincible titled Emperor domain; this splendid attire young man was even weaker than the Green Dragon Four Brothers, how could he withstand it?

Smack!

Without suspense, a loud slap resounded, the splendid attire young man was directly struck by Xiao Ye, his cheeks swelling, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, sent flying like a broken sack, crashing into a nearby pavilion.

"Anyone else wishing to bark madly can step forth and try." Xiao Ye leisurely turned, his gaze sweeping over the young men and women of East State, speaking indifferently.

Anyone caught in his gaze felt chills all over their bodies, unable to utter a single word.
