"Qin Yan?"
"Qin Yan? He's Qin Yan? "
"It's said that there's an extremely talented disciple among the disciples of the Burning Flame Valley this year. Not only has he reached late Returnance at such a young age, but his grasp and usage of the Force of Ways is rather impressive as well. In the selection competition of the sect, this guy defeated many opponents of the same level all by himself, leaping to become the strongest among the younger generation. This kid is even the strongest contender for first place in this year's competition!"
After the young man reported his identity, some people in the surrounding spectators immediately revealed his identity. Many people in the outside world knew about this extremely outstanding disciple of the Burning Flame Valley long ago, but they had never seen him before. Now that they had seen him today, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. Even the Origin Kings at the front of the spectators' stands cast their gazes over.
From the looks of it, it was not just the Returnance experts. Even they paid close attention to the young man called Qin Yan.
It was normal for Qin Yan to receive such treatment after becoming the strongest among the younger generation of the Burning Flame Valley. Let alone these outsiders, even many of the elders in the Burning Flame Valley valued him greatly. They had even begun to treat him as the future successor of the Burning Flame Valley.
Xiao Yan immediately understood the identity of the young man before him when he heard the exclamations from the surrounding crowd. He did not dare to underestimate Qin Yan at all after hearing about his astonishing accomplishments.
Being able to consecutively defeat a couple of opponents of the same level indicated that this Qin Yan in front of him possessed a fighting strength that far exceeded his own cultivation. When faced with such a person, especially when the other party's cultivation exceeded his own, even Xiao Yan needed to be one hundred and twenty percent alert.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Yan, who was smiling politely in front of him. His gaze sized up Qin Yan before he learned the other party's gesture and cupped his hands together in a courteous manner.
"You're too polite. I was in the wrong earlier as well, so I hope you can forgive me."
Huo Zhi curled his lips furiously when he heard this. However, he was unable to say anything else. With Qin Yan beside him, he could only obediently hold back his resentment. Qin Yan also glanced at the latter from the corner of his eyes. Immediately, he smiled faintly and said:
"Seeing that Mister Xiao Yan's attack just now was quite sharp, I wonder if Mister is interested in participating in this Sect Grand Competition? From what I know, the jade token in Mister Xiao Yan's hand seems to be Geng 24. With this number, you can challenge any disciple ranked after 500 in our sect."
"I'm more interested in the people ranked before 500."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly when he heard Qin Yan's words, which seemed to have a hidden meaning, and rebutted him. The smile on the latter's face immediately became even denser when he saw this. Only those deacons from the Burning Flame Valley had furious expressions. These words of Xiao Yan were clearly hinting that their Burning Flame Valley's disciples were weak and did not have the qualification to be his opponent.
"In that case, Mister Xiao Yan has agreed to participate in our Burning Flame Valley's Sect Grand Competition. Since this is the case, I really look forward to meeting you in the arena."
Quite a number of people immediately turned their gazes toward Xiao Yan when these words were uttered. These words of Qin Yan were an open challenge. If Xiao Yan did not accept it in front of so many people, not only would he lose face, he would also be ridiculed and discussed by the people in the viewing gallery. The words that he had said earlier would naturally be used to slap his face.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's heart was also extremely clear about this point. The other party's goal was very clear. Either he agreed to fight with him or he would eat the words that he had said earlier. In the end, the person who would lose face would still be him. This action of Qin Yan had the intention of threatening him.
"Alright, I'll see you in the arena."
Without much hesitation, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and agreed. The latter's face was filled with a satisfied smile when he saw this. At this moment, the surrounding observers once again threw their gazes onto Xiao Yan. However, this time around, there was an additional pity and ridicule in their eyes.
Qin Yan was the strongest among the younger generation of the Burning Flame Valley. His battle prowess was extraordinary. Even some of the envoys of the Burning Flame Valley were not his opponent, so how could Xiao Yan, an early Returnance expert, be his opponent? From the looks of it, the outcome was extremely clear even though the two of them had yet to formally engage in battle. Needless to say, Qin Yan's victory was going to be added to the list of victories.
"This Xiao Yan really doesn't know his limits. Does he really think he's something just because he has some tricks up his sleeve? Qin Yan has even defeated quite a few envoys in the valley. He has challenged many of them before, so all the envoys in the valley have probably been defeated by him now. He's just asking to be humiliated with just an early Returnance cultivator."
"What a reckless brat. Why don't we deal with him instead of senior Qin Yan personally? He's not worthy of being senior Qin Yan's opponent."
While the spectators in the viewing gallery were discussing with one another, quite a number of Burning Flame Valley's disciples who had witnessed this scene also began to discuss with one another. Their words were filled with disdain and ridicule toward Xiao Yan. There were even quite a number of people who threw gazes that were filled with enmity toward Xiao Yan. This also indirectly proved that these disciples had a sense of belonging to the Burning Flame Valley. This kind of invisible energy was the key factor that allowed a faction to become increasingly powerful.
At the same time, Xiao Yan and Qin Yan exchanged a couple of courteous words with each other in the viewing gallery before the latter intended to leave. After all, the Grand Competition of the Sect was currently in progress. As a participating disciple, he could not possibly continue to stay here. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke and stopped him.
"Brother Qin Yan, can you stay for a while?"
"Is there anything else, mister Xiao Yan?"
Qin Yan frowned slightly when he heard Xiao Yan's words. He was involuntarily a little surprised in his heart. Since the matter had already been decided, why did Xiao Yan call out to him at this moment?
"Ke ke, it is not a big matter. However, look at our seats. Although that deacon's palm did not injure anyone, my and my companion's seats have been destroyed. I think that the Burning Flame Valley will not allow guests like us to stand here and watch the competition, right?"
Qin Yan was startled when he heard these words. He immediately recovered and frowned as he looked at the stone chair in front of him that had already been destroyed. His gaze swiftly swept over the entire stadium, only to discover that other than the first row of seats in the viewing gallery, the other places were all occupied by spectators from outside. If Xiao Yan's group wanted to change seats at this moment, it was likely that …
Qin Yan hesitated for a couple of seconds. Only then did he once again look at Xiao Yan's group. He cupped his hands together and said,
"I'm sorry. Since this is the case, the few of you should sit in the first row."
