Whether everyone admitted it or not, the fact was that Yang Chen had once again helped the Eastern Emperor Sect win a match despite being underestimated.
Moreover, Yang Chen had defeated an Earth Martial Realm fifth-level opponent with the strength of the Earth Martial Realm second level!
Such a leap was difficult for people to accept and believe.
Even Great Emperor Bai Wei could not help but sigh with emotion. He could imagine Yang Chen causing some ripples at this tournament, but he had never expected that, after not seeing him for some time, Yang Chen's strength would have soared by leaps and bounds again.

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.
Every discussion now revolved around Yang Chen.
Yang Chen had thoroughly become the focus of everyone's attention.
Both the Demon Slaying Branch and the Imperial Dao Sect felt that there was something strange about Yang Chen.
