In the first few days, no one stepped forward to challenge.

Chen Qingyuan wasn’t in a hurry. He let the news spread for a few more days, knowing that someone would eventually come to try their luck.

Ever since the Sword Disciple of Dongli was defeated, no one wanted to fight Zhangsun Fengye.

Chen Qingyuan even used the name of Daochen Buddha’s child, but still, no one showed up.

After all, Daochen Buddha’s child came from the Eastern Land alone, and it was obvious he was an extremely terrifying existence. Who would be foolish enough to provoke him?

One day, a blue-robed youth and a purple-robed youth arrived.

The two immediately stated their intentions, hoping for a fair fight and asked Chen Qingyuan and others to act as referees. They also wagered over a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

“Alright, I’ll take a ten percent management fee,” Chen Qingyuan said.

“Deal.”

Ten percent was quite a bit, but it was still within their acceptable range.

So, Chen Qingyuan let the two enter the arena and start the battle.

Some curious onlookers came from afar to watch.

Chen Qingyuan had to ensure the fight proceeded fairly to the end, without any interference. If there were problems the first time he acted as a referee, others would definitely not come, and the losses would be severe.

After hundreds of rounds, the purple-robed youth won, severely injuring the blue-robed youth.

The blue-robed youth handed over more than a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones and left dejectedly.

Chen Qingyuan received a hundred Spirit Stones and was very satisfied.

With such a good example, many people were tempted.

Over the years, the Heaven’s Pride from various forces often clashed. But due to many interfering factors, they couldn’t fight freely.

Now, with Chen Qingyuan setting up the stage, the suppressed desire for battle grew increasingly restless.

Before long, many Heaven’s Pride arrived at the ancient star of Yanchang, asking Chen Qingyuan to set up the arena so they could fight their opponents head-on without worrying about sneak attacks, allowing them to unleash their full strength.

After dozens of battles, Chen Qingyuan made a fortune, his smile radiant.

There were a few fights that almost had incidents, with some trying to intervene and disrupt the arena’s situation. Chen Qingyuan immediately stepped in to stop them and even punished them.

If anyone dared to do it again, they would pay a heavy price for breaking the rules.

“You really know how to make money!” Zhangsun Fengye exclaimed.

The Heaven’s Pride foolishly ventured into various dangerous secret realms seeking fortune, but they couldn’t match Chen Qingyuan’s speed in acquiring resources.

“Doing business requires brains.”

Chen Qingyuan set up more than a dozen arenas on the ancient star of Yanchang, ensuring he made money while maintaining order, preventing outsiders from affecting the battles on the stage.

Worried about potential mistakes, Chen Qingyuan didn’t set up too many arenas.

“Our reputation is already established. Now we just need to wait for the fish to bite.”

The competition among the younger generation had reached a fever pitch, with even the slightest friction sparking a battle.

As Chen Qingyuan’s reputation as a fair and just arena manager spread, more people would come.

Gradually, the ancient star of Yanchang evolved into the core area of the Ancient World, with thousands of Heaven’s Pride frequently staying there. Some top-tier evildoers, upon hearing about it, couldn’t help but come to take a look.

The progress of the arena battles was relatively smooth, but there were some incidents.

A few Heaven’s Pride, after losing, refused to admit defeat and used life-saving talismans to escape hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

Such behavior was clearly a slap in Chen Qingyuan’s face!

“Madman, Buddha’s child, you two stay here for now.” Chen Qingyuan asked the victor to wait a moment while he went after the escapee.

Half an hour later, Chen Qingyuan returned to the ancient star of Yanchang, dragging the defeated person with one hand.

“If I let you get away, my reputation would be ruined, and how would I make money in the future?”

Chen Qingyuan cursed, occasionally kicking the person.

Because he had no opponents, he became a referee.

If he let this person escape under his nose, his reputation would be shattered.

Since they made a bet, they had to accept the outcome.

“Thank you, Dao Friend.”

The victor, who thought all hope was lost, was surprised and delighted when Chen Qingyuan brought the person back. He quickly cupped his fists in gratitude.

“No problem.” Chen Qingyuan waved his hand. “Since I took the management fee, it’s my responsibility.”

The loser couldn’t refuse and obediently handed over the wagered resources.

Although Chen Qingyuan only received a tenth, his reputation increased several times.

From then on, Chen Qingyuan’s fame spread, with many Heaven’s Pride praising his integrity, saying he didn’t take the management fee for nothing.

Those who wanted to temper themselves also flocked to the ancient star of Yanchang, occupying an arena and challenging their peers. With each battle, they would give Chen Qingyuan a portion of the resources.

Over the next decade, the ancient star of Yanchang became extremely prosperous.

During this time, someone challenged Daochen Buddha’s child, wanting to test his strength.

Unfortunately, as soon as they stepped onto the arena, Daochen Buddha’s child subdued them with a single finger. Many witnessed this scene, finding it extremely shocking.

Since then, no one dared to challenge Buddha’s child again.

“Brother Chen, it’s time to split the profits this year!” Zhangsun Fengye approached, whispering.

“Here’s your share.” Chen Qingyuan tossed a Heaven and Earth Bag over, then threw another one to Daochen Buddha’s child. “Buddha’s child, take it.”

“We’ve made quite a haul this year.”

Opening the Heaven and Earth Bag, Zhangsun Fengye was delighted.

“Not bad, but it’s a pity it’s all Spirit Stones and rare minerals, no Fortune Green Lotus.”

Few people wagered Fortune Green Lotus, which made Chen Qingyuan feel a bit disappointed.

“Don’t be too greedy,” Zhangsun Fengye said.

“It’s not greed, it’s ambition.”

From the start, Chen Qingyuan aimed for the Fortune Green Lotus. Who would have thought those top-tier evildoers would all hide their heads, unwilling to show up?

For the sake of making a living, he had to become a referee to earn Spirit Stones.

“Now we can earn resources just by lying here. Many people would envy us.”

Zhangsun Fengye felt that following Chen Qingyuan was quite comfortable. At least, Chen Qingyuan was smart and shameless enough.

“If we’re going to make money, we should make big money.”

Chen Qingyuan seemed to be brewing some devious plan.

“What are you planning?”

Hearing this, Zhangsun Fengye’s smile froze, feeling a sense of foreboding.

“Madman, you haven’t fought in years. Isn’t it time to stretch your muscles?”

Chen Qingyuan raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening.

“Speak clearly.”

Zhangsun Fengye’s heart tightened.

“The top-tier evildoers from various worlds have been hiding for so long. Someone has to take the lead and start the real Hundred Veins Banquet.”

In short, Chen Qingyuan wanted to ignite this fire, making it unavoidable for everyone.
