From that mont onward, all jealousy or rivalry in Cloud Tao's heart vanished.
He was completely convinced of Ye Chen's s
She couldn't help but think about the secret behind Ye Chen's rapid cultivation....his mastery of the Dragon Phoenix Art, a legendary Heaven-tier cultivation technique.
Although it was known for being… rather unrestrained in nature, as long as Ye Chen didn't overuse it, there shouldn't be any serious consequences.
Still, she worried.
He's too young. If he pushes himself too hard and burns through his foundation, his future path may be damaged…
Determined, Yun Yun made a silent decision.
"I'll visit Elder Gu He and see if he has any rare pills to strengthen Ye Chen's body. It's better to be safe."
At that mont, the Grand Elder approached with a broad smile.
His attitude toward Ye Chen was now completely different....full of respect and even a hint of flattery.
"Ye Chen, I truly didn't expect you to be hiding your true strength so deeply!" he said, laughing warmly.
"To think you had already broken through to the Grand Fighter Realm without anyone knowing… You really gave this old man a pleasant surprise."
He gave Ye Chen an approving pat on the shoulder.
"As expected of our Cloud Mist Sect's number one genius! At this rate, in just a few years, you might even catch up to us old fossils."
The other elders quickly gathered around, their faces full of praise and admiration.
"Sect Master truly chose her disciple well!" one elder said enthusiastically.
"Ye Chen will definitely lead our sect to even greater heights," another added.
Ye Chen responded with polite humility, bowing slightly.
"Esteed elders, you flatter . I will continue to work hard and hope to live up to everyone's expectations."
Though he appeared modest, Ye Chen's mind was sharp.
These elders are the pillars of the sect. When I take over as Sect Master one day, I'll need their support. It's best to build good relations now.

Yun Yun then took out a scroll and a jade bottle from her storage ring. She handed them to Ye Chen.
"This is the reward for winning first place in the sect tournant."
Sect rules were clear: outstanding results were always rewarded generously.
The scroll contained a high-level Mysterious Rank battle skill, and the jade bottle held a fourth-grade pill, highly coveted by most disciples.
"Thank you, Teacher." Ye Chen accepted the items respectfully, though inwardly, he wasn't very impressed.
Ever since he had acquired the treasure-filled rings of Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying, rewards like these seed rather insignificant.
Still, what truly bothered him was sothing else entirely.
Cloud Yun had once promised him that if he took first place, she would grant him one request.
Yet now, she hadn't even ntioned it.
Ye Chen secretly frowned, suppressing his urge to bring it up.
He really wanted to persuade her to consider the Phoenix Volu, a cultivation technique he believed could help her break through her current bottleneck as a Three-Star Dou Huang.
But for now, he held his tongue.
Cloud Yun, unaware of her disciple's thoughts, looked at Ye Chen with imnse pride.
Today, he had stunned the entire sect and proven himself beyond all doubt. Even the small grievances she had held against him in recent weeks lted away completely.
"This brat really didn't disappoint after all," she thought with a faint smile
Then, her expression turned solemn. She raised her hand, and a jade-green token appeared in her palm. Its surface glead with a mysterious light.
"Ye Chen, step forward," Cloud Yun said, her tone serious.
The elders imdiately recognized the token and exchanged startled glances.
None of them spoke, but they knew exactly what this ant.
Ye Chen's heart raced when he saw the token. Excitent flickered in his eyes as he quickly stepped forward.
"Ye Chen," Cloud Yun began, her voice carrying both warmth and gravity, "five years have passed since you beca my disciple. During this ti, you have shown extraordinary talent, trained with relentless effort, and demonstrated both strength and character worthy of great responsibility."
mories flooded her mind of the naive, young boy she had taken under her wing.
Now, before her stood a young man with power that rivaled even the sect's strongest fighters.
"My disciple is second to none," she declared proudly. "You have the potential to reach the Dou Zong realm and beyond!"
Taking a deep breath, she continued, "From this day forth, I hereby appoint you as the Young Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect. I hope you will stay true to yourself and one day lead our sect to even greater glory."
She solemnly handed the jade token to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's chest tightened with emotion as he accepted it with both hands.
"Thank you, Teacher!" he said, his voice firm yet respectful.
Cloud Yun turned to face the gathered disciples and elders. Her voice rang out, majestic and commanding:
"From this mont on, Ye Chen is the Young Sect Master of our Cloud Mist Sect. When you see him, it is the sa as seeing . In my absence, he has full authority to act as Sect Master!"
The announcent hit the crowd like a bolt of lightning.
"What? Ye Chen has been appointed Young Sect Master?!"
"He's only fifteen years old! Isn't this too soon?"
"This is the first ti in our sect's entire history that soone so young has been given this title…"
The disciples' voices were filled with shock and disbelief. But beneath their surprise, there was also deep respect.
Ye Chen had already proven himself worthy.
The elders on the high platform exchanged looks, then simultaneously bowed deeply toward Ye Chen.
"Greetings to the Young Sect Master!" they declared in unison.
Seeing the elders kneel, the ordinary disciples didn't dare hesitate. They followed suit, their voices echoing through the sect grounds.
"Greetings to the Young Sect Master!"
Ye Chen stood tall, clutching the jade token tightly in his hand as the sea of disciples chanted his new title.
Power surged through him....not just the power of cultivation, but the weight of command.
A smile spread across his face, his heart soaring with ambition.
"At last," he thought, "I truly hold real authority within the sect!"
