"Did they really come knocking on my door?"
Long Chengde's eyes suddenly shone. He turned around and looked at Guo Yu. "What do you say? Do you want to challenge him?"
"Of course!"
Guo Yu's eyelids were twitching violently.
It was not just to establish dominance or to vent his anger. More importantly, it was to build up his reputation in the circle!
Reputation, reputation, and accomplishments were the most important things in the circle of Orb Patrollers.
If an Orb Patroller was well-known for his brutality, other people would not dare to challenge him. Other teams would often invite him to explore the Occult Orbs together.
Even if his team was disbanded for various reasons, or if he wanted to leave, it would be very convenient for him to transfer to a new team.
Although Guo Yu was only in the beginning level of the Building Foundation Stage, he had grasped a lot of brutal secret arts after years of training in the Occult Orbs. He had been quite famous in the circle before. Everybody knew that he was a ruthless man who was not to be messed with.
However, he had been beaten into a pulp by a girl in her twenties within three minutes. It took him half a month to recover in a top medical cabin.
Although he had recovered, his reputation had been smashed into smithereens. He was now the biggest joke in the circle.
Other than anything else, everybody considered him a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied. Many foreign Orb Patrollers were eager to challenge him.
How could he take it when he was challenged one after another?
Therefore, Guo Yu was eager to establish his reputation as a 'tough guy' again.
Li Yao was the best opponent for him.
As the Children of Occult Orbs, they spent most of their time in the world fragment, the Occult Orbs, and Empyreal Star City. They did not know much about the outside world.
However, when they read the news and browsed the Cultivators' Nexus, they knew that two people in the younger generation of the Grand Desolate War Institution were particularly famous, namely Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong.
Besides, this' Vulture Li Yao 'was even more famous than Ding Ling Dong in the outside world.
Guo Yu was not stupid. Now that Ding Ling Dong had advanced into the middle level of the Building Foundation Stage, he would not be able to defeat her easily. He was definitely not a match for her in the short term, so naturally, he would not easily challenge her to a duel.
Vulture Li Yao, on the other hand, was quite famous, but he had just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage two months ago. In the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was a complete noob. Wouldn't he be at his mercy?!
This guy was as famous as Ding Ling Dong. If she taught him a lesson, wouldn't it be equivalent to slapping Ding Ling Dong's face?
Thinking of this, Guo Yu laughed nastily. He said,
"Then, let's have a duel with him in the arena tomorrow. Let me tell this Vulture Li Yao in person that Occult Orbs Fellowship is different from the outside world!"
"Guo Yu, are you confident?"
Long Chengde said, "I've read some of the news and the posts on the forum. This Vulture Li Yao is also one of the youngest Building Foundation Stage Cultivators in the Federation. He is even more famous than Ding Ling Dong in the outside world. Don't … make the same mistake as last time. "
The last few words were spoken so softly that only the two of them could hear them.
Guo Yu's face suddenly changed. His eyes were bloodshot.
"Don't worry, Vice-Captain. I've studied the files of this Vulture Li Yao. He is a hybrid-type Cultivator. His first profession is a refiner. He joined the Refining Department in college, too. Most of his fame comes from refining.
"As for the duel. He likes to use schemes and traps. He is also good at using the Crystal Suit. But he doesn't seem to be very strong himself.
"Besides. He just entered the Building Foundation Stage more than a month ago. However strong he is, there should be a limit, right? I've been in the Building Foundation Stage for four years! Even that Ding Ling Dong has been in the Building Foundation Stage for two years!
"In terms of fame, he is even more famous than Ding Ling Dong.
"In terms of capability, however, he is much weaker than Ding Ling Dong.
"What a fat piece of meat delivered to my mouth. How can I not swallow it?
"I don't believe that the guys from the Grand Desolate War Institution are all monsters like the Inferno Witch Ding Lingdang. Are you kidding me? "
The more Guo Yu talked, the more excited he became. He couldn't control his voice and was overheard by the Orb Patrollers not far away.
The training room was not small. Many advanced training facilities from the Occult Orbs had been installed. Therefore, many Star Teams liked to train here.
Hearing their conversation, many Orb Patrollers gathered around them.
"Another newcomer from the Grand Desolate War Institution has joined Occult Orbs Fellowship?"
"Furthermore, his reputation in the outside world is even greater than that of the Inferno Witch Ding Lingdang?"
"Then, I'm going to meet him!"
…
At the same time, in a shabby, low-level training room in the west of Empyreal Star City …
"Hu …"
Li Yao was standing below a squat rack. He was carrying a barbell weighing more than thirty tons that was carved out of the high-density rocks from the Occult Orbs. He squatted down and exerted strength on his feet. His thighs were twice as big as before. His veins were surfacing on the surface of the ocean like furious dragons. They were raging under his skin.
Two rings of air rippled out from his feet. He stood up steadily and exhaled a mouthful of foul air.
On the counter next to him, the number '99' was displayed.
The gravity here was five times higher than the standard gravity of the Tian Yuan Realm.
In front of Li Yao were ten training machines that looked like mini cannons. Electric arcs were dancing behind the 'cannons', and rune arrays were activated. Clusters of twisted air were shot out and rushed at him.
They were Air Cannons. Through electromagnetism and rune arrays, the air would be sucked into the chamber and compressed by a thousand times before it was shot out at a speed close to the sonic barrier.
At a short distance, it was equal to the full-strength attack of a Refinement Stage Cultivator.
But once it hit a human body, the Air Cannons would disperse automatically without leaving any trace. They were very convenient and clean training equipment.
Generally speaking, Cultivators used Air Cannons to train their dodging ability.
But Li Yao had lined up ten Air Cannons and aimed them at him. He had adjusted the firing speed to the highest and triggered them every second.
Every second, ten Air Cannons would hit his body brutally.
But he didn't even activate his spiritual shield. He was resisting the attacks with his body of flesh and blood, which had been tempered thousands of times.
He was training his resistance ability in such a way. But he still felt that it was not thrilling enough.
Having been used to Ding Ling Dong's heavy punches, the attacks of the Refinement Stage Cultivators were nothing more than the scratches of a three-year-old child for him.
Li Yao continued his monotonous strength training under the bombardment of the Air Cannons. Very soon, his sweat had gathered into glittering puddles under his feet, which were blown away by his strength again and again and turned into a hazy mist that was floating around him.
Suddenly.
"Beep!"
Team Lingering Wind had sent him a reply, inviting him to a 'simple test' in the arena tomorrow. Guo Yu would challenge him to a duel. The purpose of the duel was to make friends.
Li Yao smiled and casually tossed the mini crystal processor to the side. He smashed the squat rack and began his monotonous and boring training.
It seemed that Bi Ran was right. Team Lingering Wind was indeed up to no good. They were trying to trick him into going there to set an example.
However, it was a great opportunity for him, too!
Although the mainframe crystal processor of Empyreal Star City had told him that many teams were recruiting new members, Li Yao discovered that most of them were teams that ranked at the bottom of the top hundred.
Even if he joined such second-rate teams, he wouldn't have the courage to explore the high-level Occult Orbs.
Li Yao's target was a strong team that ranked in the top fifty, or even the top thirty.
It was definitely not easy to join such teams.
A team usually had four to six members. The top hundred teams had five to six hundred members. However, the total number of Orb Patrollers in Empyreal Star City was almost fifteen hundred.
The remaining one thousand were all backups. They had to try their best to make their reputation known so that the Star Teams would recognize their value so that they could fight for the limited number of slots.
For the newcomers, it was even more difficult for them to attract the attention of the Star Teams before they ran out of their contribution points.
Although Li Yao was somewhat famous in the outside world, in Empyreal Star City, nobody paid much attention to the fame and achievements of the outside world. They preferred to believe in the strength that they saw with their own eyes.
Therefore, although he knew that Guo Yu was up to something, Li Yao still accepted his challenge.
Guo Yu wanted to establish his dominance, and so did Li Yao.
'I have to make a name for myself in Empyreal Star City in the shortest amount of time and attract the attention of the super teams.
"This Guo Yu will be my first stepping stone!"
'Besides...
'How dare he attack my woman from behind!
"Ding Lingdang is magnanimous, benevolent, soft-hearted, and soft-hearted. She only broke all your bones, burned your flesh, and left you in the ICU for half a month."
'You will never be so lucky to fall into the hands of Vulture Li Yao! '
…
The next morning, in the No. 17 arena in the east district of Empyreal Star City …
As the most popular training facility for Orb Patrollers, there were dozens of arenas in Empyreal Star City. The largest one was even built directly from an Occult Orb that had been fully developed.
Although the Orb Patrollers could have a 100% realistic battle in the Grand Illusionary Land, they preferred the thrill of punching flesh in the real world.
The challenges in the arenas were all based on actual combat. Everybody was fighting with real weapons. Safety was mainly ensured by the referee's magnetic ball floating in midair.
The referee's magnetic ball was a piece of ancillary magical equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium. Dozens of crystal cameras were installed on its shell, and inside it was a crystal processor with a super high computational ability. It floated in midair and monitored the progress of the battle.
When the crystal processor sensed that the battle was about to go out of control and that there was a 99% chance that both parties would be killed, it would automatically launch a spiritual shield to block the fatal attack of the attacker.
As for the non-fatal attacks, it would simply ignore them.
As a result, although nobody was killed, it was not unusual to see someone being heavily wounded.
It was also in line with the Orb Patrollers' pursuit of the limits and their passion for excitement.
After all, the medical facilities in Empyreal Star City were much more advanced than those in the outside world. Even the most serious wounds would be healed after lying in the med bay for a month.
When Li Yao walked into the No. 17 arena slowly, a lot of people had already gathered inside.
Other than the members of Team Lingering Wind, there were also many Star Teams and the candidates who didn't make it into the top hundred teams.
They had all heard of Li Yao's fame in the outside world and knew that he was even more unbelievable than Ding Ling Dong. Therefore, they were curious and came to watch the duel between him and Guo Yu. (To be continued.)
