Seeing the intense expression on Ancestor Ji Tianyao's face, many powerful members of the Ji Family behind him looked pale, aware of the ancestor's concerns.
Originally, the martial arts competition to recruit a bride was a significant benefit for the Ji Family, yet now it had turned into a farce.
"Since Ancestor Ji Tianyao has spoken, this junior shall comply," Qin Chen smiled and walked down.
However, before returning to his seat, Qin Chen turned to glance at the Star God Palace Master and the Great Universe Mountain Lord, sneering, "If both of you are unconvinced, feel free to send someone to assassinate this vice hall master, or even take action yourselves. But before you act, you better think about the consequences and prepare several coffins, lest too many people die and there's no room to lie down."
After saying that, Qin Chen sat back in his seat, too lazy to look at the two again.
"You..." The Star God Palace Master and the Great Universe Mountain Lord were furious, wishing they could strike Qin Chen dead on the spot.
This brat was too arrogant!
Both the Star God Palace Master and Great Universe Mountain Lord were leaders of top human race forces, and even in the Human Race Assembly, they had a certain degree of speaking power, being high-ranking officials.
When had they ever been mocked like this?
In that moment, they wished they could kill Qin Chen, but with Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, Ji Tianyao, and others present, they restrained their anger and sat back down, their murderous intent burning fiercely within them.
The atmosphere began to ease, and Ji Tianyao finally let out a sigh of relief.
He boomed, "My Ji Family's martial arts recruitment competition, with so many heroes present, I Ji Tianyao am extremely honored. Today, regarding this martial arts competition, I would like to know if any other talents are willing to come up and battle Vice Hall Master Ouyang Chen from the Void Temple. If no one dares, then this martial arts competition will come to an end."
"We, the Ji Family, will host a banquet to treat everyone."
Ji Tianyao just wanted to quickly conclude the martial arts recruitment competition and prevent any further disturbance.
At the scene, there was instant silence. After everything that had transpired, no force was willing to challenge Qin Chen.
As for Ouyang Chen, those who had the strength to challenge him had already done so; the remaining ones knew they were no match for him.
Moreover, after witnessing the events, everyone could see that even though they were from the Ancient Realm, their fortune seemed to be dwindling.
"Well, since no one is coming up to challenge, the victors of today's martial arts recruitment competition are Qin Chen from Tian Gong and Ouyang Chen from the Void Temple. Congratulations to both of you, please come up to the stage."
Ji Tianyao announced.
On the side of the Void Temple, Ouyang Chen's expression was excited as he looked at Ji Xinyi on the stage.
Ji Xinyi was a standard beauty, possessing the bloodline of an ancient clan and an extraordinary temperament. Ouyang Chen challenged her partly because the Void Temple wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Ji Family, but he was also genuinely very satisfied with Ji Xinyi.
For a powerhouse like him, ordinary women simply could not catch his eye.
Filled with joy, he hurriedly walked up to the stage.
However, Ji Xinyi felt Ouyang Chen's fiery and excited gaze and was somewhat dissatisfied and angry in her heart.
Had it not been for Qin Chen's performance, being a young heavenly venerable and the vice hall master of the Void Temple would have made her quite satisfied with Ouyang Chen.
But with Qin Chen's appearance, it made Ouyang Chen look dull and insignificant; in every aspect, he fell far behind Qin Chen.
As the two stood on the stage, everyone's gaze was fixated on Qin Chen, with hardly any attention on Ouyang Chen.
Yet Ouyang Chen felt no awkwardness; instead, he felt sweet, like drinking honey, as he gazed at Ji Xinyi, indulging in the joy of winning over a beauty.
