Qin Chen felt that his horizons had been broadened. He initially believed he was invincible, capable of suppressing mid-stage Heavenly Saints and competing with peak mid-stage Heavenly Saints. However, after seeing the numerous elders and the Grand Elder present, Qin Chen understood that he couldn't yet be considered a true powerhouse within the Guanghan Mansion.
Thus, he immediately retracted his thoughts, becoming humble and igniting his desire for cultivation.
Moreover, from the Grand Elder, he sensed many things worth learning from, and combined with the experience of the Eternal Sword Master, he faintly saw a path that belonged to him.
"Grand Elder, Qin Chen is here."
Master Muye hurriedly bowed respectfully with Qin Chen. In the Tian Gong, the Grand Elder's status was far above his, and their strengths were worlds apart.
"You are Qin Chen?
Indeed, heroes emerge from youth."
The Grand Elder opened his eyes, and it seemed as if divine light flickered. His voice came softly.
"Greetings, Grand Elder."
Qin Chen saluted, maintaining sufficient decorum towards the Grand Elder.
"Mm, very good, you are indeed good. I heard that you broke into the ninth layer of the Ancient Saint Tower. Initially, I did not believe it; now that I see you, you truly possess extraordinary bearing."
The Grand Elder said, "We have already seen how you made Nan Tianyi and Feng Liuyun kneel in the square. Do you know why we did not stop you?"
"Because the elders hope for competition. Only through competition can strong warriors be cultivated. Our Tian Gong is an organization that opposes the Demon Tribe, so naturally, we hope to nurture as many strong warriors as possible."
Qin Chen straightened his body: "Moreover, my actions were to temper their arrogance. It is beneficial rather than harmful. Otherwise, with their arrogant personalities, once they go out, they will definitely clash with other forces, leading to untimely death, and perhaps even bring disaster upon our Tian Gong. Making them kneel is to temper their spirit and let them know that there are always people stronger outside, and skies beyond the skies, which is a good thing."
Qin Chen stated calmly and assertively.
Damn! All the elders were stunned. How could Qin Chen still have the face to say that Nan Tianyi and Feng Liuyun were arrogant? In terms of character, he was far more arrogant than either of them.
"Qin Chen, the truly arrogant one is you, right?"
An elder erupted with anger, unable to contain his cold shout: "Making Nan Tianyi and Feng Liuyun kneel on the ground is an immense humiliation and sheer arrogance. With your personality, if you go to the outside world, who knows what trouble you would bring to Tian Gong, forcing us to expend effort to rescue you, don’t you realize your mistake?"
"Indeed, it's lawless, breaking the rules, showing no respect for seniors, and you dare to argue?"
Another elder also roared angrily.
It was precisely the two elders who had recruited Nan Tianyi and Feng Liuyun.
"Am I going to bring trouble to Tian Gong?
You will come to save me?
Hahaha!"
Unexpectedly, Qin Chen suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
The other elders were puzzled by Qin Chen's laughter, and the two elders could not help but feel furious.
"I am laughing at the two elders questioning my character of arrogance and tyranny. It seems that the two elders have no idea who I, Qin Chen, truly am."
"What kind of person are you?"
"Didn’t the two elders ask me why I said Nan Tianyi and Feng Liuyun are arrogant and tyrannical and could bring disaster to Tian Gong? They need to be tempered, and I myself wouldn’t?"
Qin Chen smiled coldly: "Because in this world, there is no one stronger than me. I am the one who represents 'there are people outside of people,' and 'there are skies beyond the skies.' Even if I encounter conflict in the outside world, it won't bring trouble to Tian Gong; it will only bring glory."
These words struck like thunder.
