The golden hair and sharply defined handsome features, no matter from which angle you look, are utterly perfect.

Undeniably, Michael himself is the greatest masterpiece of bloodline modification technology from the Western Pole Kingdom, and the team behind him even tailored several box office hit movies for him, granting him immense popularity and recognition throughout the Western World and even within the Eastern Countries.

A vast amount of Power of Thought Ability transformed behind him into a soaring, majestic bald eagle, its wings spread wide, spanning thousands of miles, exuding a domineering aura.

Even behind Michael, the slim figure of the unremarkable elder Li Zaijun, the Baekje Arrow Saint, also draws attention.

His arms hang past his knees, and his fingers are lengthy; though he achieved the position of Martial Saint through bloodline modification technology and the stolen half of the Arrow Scripture, he remains among the weakest Martial Saints on Blue Star, heavily specialized with limited overall strength.

Yet, a Martial Saint is still a Martial Saint, transcending the ordinary, a significant figure in the Martial Arts World that no one can ignore.

After the five Saints took their seats, the audience finally noticed there was another person in the special guest seat, with an astonishingly youthful appearance.

"Eh? Why is there another person in the guest seat?"

"Is that... Ye Qingzhou?"

"It really is him!"

"Didn't they say he was severely injured and his Mental Imagery shattered, causing his realm to fall?"

"Though his cultivation is lost, his insight remains; being a guest shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Many couldn't help but start a lively debate.

In the contestant seats of the Europe team, Lanxiu became completely stiff again, sweat pouring like a spring as he looked at Ye Qingzhou, a raging storm brewing in his heart: "Is that Ye Qingzhou?"

"Yes, haven't you seen his photos?"

Hert asked with confusion: "What's wrong? You seem very nervous..."

Sweat slid down from Lanxiu's forehead, his heart aching intensely, as if two mountains pressed on his shoulders, making it incredibly difficult for him to breathe.

"Lanxiu, what exactly did you see?"

"I... only saw a void..."

Lanxiu struggled to answer Hert's question, barely managing to tear his gaze away from Ye Qingzhou before he began to take deep breaths.

The storm within his heart lingered, unable to calm.

"That black hole-like attraction is terrifying, I felt as if my soul was forcefully extracted by the 'void' on him."

"Is it that exaggerated? I was thinking of challenging him a bit to boost my battle record."

Hert found Lanxiu's account hard to believe.

After all, in the Blue Star Martial Arts World, once Mental Imagery shatters, it signifies the collapse of one's will, and never being able to adhere to one's path, leading to doubt and skepticism.

Such a person can no longer gather Mental Imagery, never reaching the realm of Extraordinary to Saint again.

This is common knowledge.

That's why Hert considered taking advantage, knowing Ye Qingzhou was once a Martial Saint; now that his cultivation and realm have fallen, a fight with him wouldn't matter if lost, and a draw would be a win.

Should fortune favor him with a move or two, it would be hitting the jackpot!

"Don't be reckless!"

Knowing Lanxiu for years, he did not wish to see Hert die horribly in front of him, thus he hurriedly advised: "Ye Qingzhou's shattered Mental Imagery might be false news released intentionally, the aura around him is immensely frightening, I've only felt such a sense of crisis facing Lord Ola directly."

"Lord Ola!?"

Hert had, naturally, heard of the notorious name of the Blood-Colored Sanctuary's Holy Knight Order captain.

Lanxiu even compared Ye Qingzhou with Ola, leading Hert to promptly abandon the notion of challenging Ye Qingzhou, recognizing it's not worth gambling one's life for such a matter.

Yet while Hert refuses to wager his life, there are those eager to test Ye Qingzhou.

After the Underworld-like atmosphere of the Chuyun Country's opening ceremony concluded, Baekje Grandmaster Bian Xiangyin, ranked eleventh in the world, couldn't help but step forward.

"Sword Saint Ye, I've long heard of your extraordinary swordsmanship, would you be kind enough to instruct me a little?"

Bian Xiangyin has a slender physique, a feminine appearance, but his eyes are viper-like, causing considerable discomfort for those he gazes at, and for those insufficiently cultivated, resulting in direct muscle paralysis, rigid bodies vulnerable for the taking.

It's evident this is a unique Pupil Technique.

Ye Qingzhou initially glanced at Li Zaijun of the Baekje Arrow Saint seated on the other side of the guest seat, noticing the latter remained indifferent, clearly tacitly approving this matter.

One look was enough for Ye Qingzhou to discern that he was deliberately being probed.

Turning to the slightly "effeminate" Bian Xiangyin, Ye Qingzhou specifically smiled and asked: "Are you sure you want to challenge me?"

"Please, Ye Sheng, grant me this. I pursue the Martial Dao, willing to die without regret."

"Alright."

Once the other party spoke so, Ye Qingzhou could not refuse.

Buzz~

Shhhh~

As soon as Ye Qingzhou nodded, Bian Xiangyin immediately took action, with somewhat the element of surprise, evidently aiming at victory without consideration for martial ethics.

His move was a kill strike.

Pulling his bow, drawing an arrow, the arrow soared like a dragon.

Flying Bow Divine Shooter!

In antiquity, the Eastern Yi shook Divine Land with Flying Bow Divine Skill, and Martial God Hou Yi used this absolute skill to shoot down the nine Golden Crow emperor sons of the Feather Race's Celestial Emperor, igniting a great war.

The Baekje people like to claim lineage, and fifty years ago, the Dongji Kingdom excavated a batch of Eastern Yi artifacts in the Penglai Grotto Heaven, one of which recorded the Flying Bow Divine Shooter on stone tablets, surprisingly confirmed as remnants of the Eastern Yi Arrow Scripture.

Later, the artifact was stolen by Baekje, they claimed as Eastern Yi descendants, revered the tablet as a national treasure, and Li Zaijun, being uniquely talented, combined the remnants of Eastern Yi Arrow Scripture with Baekje's arrow technique school, mastering Flying Bow Divine Shooter.

Bian Xiangyin, as Li Zaijun's prized disciple, was evidently sent to test Ye Qingzhou, showing considerable investment.

But Ye Qingzhou had anticipated this, not surprised by Bian Xiangyin's sudden attack: "So, you people really don't plan on keeping martial ethics... Well, this way I don't need to uphold any martial ethics either."

Swoosh~

The arrow tore through Ye Qingzhou's form, yet it was just an afterimage, the real Ye Qingzhou somehow flashed behind Bian Xiangyin.

"Your arrow, is too slow."

"No, I concede..."

Bian Xiangyin hadn't finished uttering the final word "lose" before his entire being exploded into blood and flesh fragments scattered across the sky.

This sword from Ye Qingzhou had no move, no form, no substance, yet it directly extinguished Bian Xiangyin's Vitality, causing him to sever at the genetic chain, leading to his flesh and blood's fragmentation.

"You!"

Seeing his beloved pupil die horribly, not even leaving a complete corpse, Li Zaijun's eyes widened in fury, glaring at Ye Qingzhou: "You, at such a young age, why are your actions so vicious?"

The Chuyun Three Saints seized the moment to condemn: "Ye Qingzhou, it was merely a spar; was it necessary to go to such extremes? Martial ethics, martial ethics, you have martial but no ethics, there is no place for you in Blue Star Martial Arts World anymore!"

The faces of the three Chuyun Martial Saints were righteously indignant, yet internally, they were delighted.

The fall of Baekje's Martial Arts Prodigy was agreeable; if they could seize this chance to confine Ye Qingzhou, the youngest Martial Saint of the Dongji Kingdom, in Chuyun, even better!

"No need for nonsense, once I slice you all to death, I'll cultivate my virtue quietly, and the world's great scholars will naturally dispute philosophy for me. Before discussing virtue, let's compete in martial arts first."

Ye Qingzhou stood proudly, with his sword pointing at the remaining five Martial Saints in the guest seat, ready for a fierce battle.

"Obstinate fool!"

"Today, you shall understand that even as a Martial Saint, you must abide by the rules of Blue Star Martial Arts World!"

The Chuyun Three Saints shouted in unison, their three streams of Power of Mental Imagery enveloping the area of a hundred miles.

Evil Qi is Yin, Gang Qi is Yang, the two energies merging into a world of their own, and within the domain of Mental Imagery, the Martial Saints reign supreme!

"Is this the Mental Imagery Domain of Golden Martial Saints?"

Lanxiu and Hert quivered before this overwhelming force, it's the first time they realized their so-called half-step Martial Saints were mere jokes compared to true Martial Saints.

Without Mental Imagery, in front of Martial Saints, they are nothing more than slightly stronger ants.
