The first day of the rookie ranking competition ended just like that.
Yi Yun fought a total of five matches and won all of them easily!
As for the other seven matches, his opponents admitted defeat.
Those who were waiting to see Yi Yun make a fool of himself were dumbfounded. The people from the Hongdao Association were completely speechless. What else could they say after being bullied by Yi Yun?
As for those who thought Yi Yun was a fat sheep and wanted to take a bite, but were stopped by the Hongdao Association, they were extremely glad.
They were very grateful to the Hongdao Association for stopping them in time, preventing them from jumping into the fire pit. If not, a brick could teach you a lesson in minutes.
After the first day of the competition ended, according to the arena's rules, the loser had to pay the winner dragon scale runes.
Ten Hongdao Association members, including the Four Bully Lords, lined up to pay the dragon scale runes to Lin Ming.
Usually, they lined up to receive resources and good things like entering a cultivation ground. Even if it was just a little, they could line up to buy youtiao or use the toilet. But now, they had to line up to give dragon scale runes to someone.
These dragon scale runes were obtained by pawning their belongings.
One could imagine how they were feeling right now.
Yi Yun held his identity token and happily watched the pile of dragon scale runes fly towards him.
He laughed and said, "You're too polite. Thank you for your generosity. You know it's not easy for a rookie like me, so you specially gave me so many dragon scale runes to spend. Thank you so much!"
Hearing Yi Yun's words, the Hongdao Association members, who were already in pain, nearly vomited three liters of blood.
Yi Yun also called it not easy for a rookie?
With his wealth, even many cultivators who had been in the Tai Ah Divine City for 2-3 years could not compare to him, let alone rookies!
Seeing Yi Yun's brilliant smile, they really wanted to punch him, but unfortunately … they were no match for him.
"There's also the interspatial ring. Oh, don't forget …"
Yi Yun reminded Fatty of the Four Bully Lords. He had not received Fatty's ring.
Fatty's mouth twitched. He looked at the emerald interspatial ring in his hand and the short fat finger that he used to take it off. It was trembling.
This ring was a gift from his family for his twelfth birthday.
In the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, a man's twelfth, fifteenth and twentieth birthday were special birthdays.
At the age of twelve, he was no longer childish and was blessed by his elders. At the age of fifteen, he could tie his hair and consummate his marriage with a woman. At the age of twenty, one would formally come of age.
The gift of a twelve-year-old blessing was given away just like that. One could imagine Fatty's mood.
If he were to return to the clan and the elders of the clan found out, they would definitely reprimand him.
But this was how it was in the Tai Ah Divine City. If one was willing to bet, one had to be willing to lose. This was the rule of the Tai Ah Divine City.
"You … you have four rings, can you wear them all?"
Skinny Monkey of the Four Bully Lords said unwillingly.
"I can wear it. Who said I can't? It wouldn't be a problem for him to carry eight of them in one hand. Four rings, I only need two fingers to wear them all. "
As Yi Yun said that, he put the four rings on his left hand's middle and ring fingers, with two rings on each finger.
Yi Yun looked at it and was very satisfied.
He finally had an interspatial ring. It would be much more convenient for him to hunt desolate beasts in the Divine wilderness in the future.
As for the # 60 herb mountain, he reckoned that he wouldn't be able to go there often in the future.
Seeing Yi Yun wearing four rings on one hand, looking like a nouveau riche, Thin Monkey swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He could only stare, speechless.
Yi Yun returned from a rewarding journey. Seeing Yi Yun's back, many people's eyes were burning.
As for Zhou Kui, Song Zijun and the other youths that followed Baldy Qin, they did not know what to say. At this moment, they did not know what to say. The wealth Yi Yun earned in a day was more than they could earn in a year.
They finally understood that it was pointless to worry about Yi Yun.
"Sigh! If I had known, I would have bet more! I only bet 50 dragon scale runes. I bet that Yi Yun would win more than ten rounds … "
Zhou Kui had a look of regret. Fifty dragon scale runes was quite a lot to him. When he pressed out, he felt very guilty. He felt that ten rounds was too much.
But now, Yi Yun had won ten rounds without even using his saber. It was such a pity. If he had known, he would have bet everything he had!
…
At night, in a spacious and bright house in the Tai Ah Divine City's high-class encampment.
A puppet beast was rolling on the ground, sweeping up the dust on the ground.
This puppet was used by some of the capital's family clans to clean the ground. The Tai Ah Divine City naturally did not have such a thing, but some of the large family clans' disciples would bring their own puppets to the Tai Ah Divine City to clean their houses.
"Oh? You want me to challenge Yi Yun tomorrow? "
In this house, a feminine youth was leaning on a bed, playing with a lancet knife in his hand.
And sitting in front of this feminine youth was a slightly plump youth with a gloomy expression. This person was the Hongdao Association's President, Li Hong.
"That's right! Brother Liu, you are ranked sixth amongst the rookies. Your movement technique is superb. In the capital's circle, there aren't many who do not know your name, Liu Yuxing. "
Li Hong's idea was simple. The Tai Ah Divine City's rules stated that the rookie ranking competition could only have a maximum of 12 rounds a day. This 12 rounds referred to the number of battles, to prevent the contestants from overexerting themselves, resulting in a serious drop in strength.
If they were like Yi Yun, winning without a fight, they could add more rounds.
Hence, Li Hong invited Liu Yuxing to defeat Yi Yun, ending Yi Yun's winning streak.
At least, this could recoup the Hongdao Association's losses. If not, they would have to pay Yi Yun 50,000 dragon scale runes.
This was cutting off Li Hong's flesh.
"Haha, Brother Hong, is there no one in your Hongdao Association who can stop Yi Yun?"
Li Hong shook his head, "Amongst the second year cultivators, there are many who can beat Yi Yun. But amongst the first year rookies, there really isn't anyone …"
The Hongdao Association could not compare to large associations like the Luohuo Association that had been established for 3-4 years. Its foundation was still weak. Many of the truly outstanding rookies did not join the Hongdao Association, but went to large associations. Those associations could give them more benefits. As for the benefits that Li Hong promised, they were only for the next 2-3 years.
Hence, Li Hong did not manage to recruit anyone ranked in the top 20 of the rookie Earth roll of honor. There were also lone rangers like Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran, who had yet to join any association.
Liu Yuxing was ranked sixth. Li Hong had invited him to deal with Yi Yun mainly because the two of them knew each other in the past and were considered friends.
As for Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran, Li Hong had never interacted with them before, so he might not be able to invite them. Even if he did, their rankings were higher than Yi Yun's. Yi Yun could even reject them if they wanted to challenge Yi Yun.
"Brother Hong, friendship is friendship, but you have to make things clear. That Yi Yun has yet to use a weapon. To be able to defeat Wan Kai in one move without using a weapon, he is quite capable!"
"Although the strength he has shown is not enough to threaten me, who knows how much hidden strength he has?"
"This time, I plan on entering the top 5000 of the Earth roll of honor. Yi Yun's ranking has yet to increase. If I defeat him, I will just replace his 10,003 position. Other than that, there are no other benefits."
"I come from the Duke's residence, while Yi Yun comes from the Cloud Wilderness. The barefooted are not afraid of the barefooted. If I defeat Yi Yun, people will say it is expected. It will also increase Yi Yun's reputation. They will say that Yi Yun is so strong that even the Duke's residence's Liu Yuxing has come to challenge him."
Liu Yuxing said slowly. As a true expert among the disciples of the capital's aristocratic families, he was completely different from the gangsters like the Four Bully Lords. He cherished his reputation, so under normal circumstances, why would he challenge a kid from the Cloud Wilderness?
That was equivalent to a disciple of a famous family competing with a country bumpkin. To Liu Yuxing, this was degrading his status.
"If you defeat Yi Yun, I'll give you 3000 dragon scale runes as a reward!"
Li Hong knew why Liu Yuxing had rejected him. He had made Yi Yun sound so strong because he wanted a reward.
Hearing Li Hong's words, Liu Yuxing laughed, "Brother Hong is a sensible person. However, 3000 is too little. 8000 dragon scale runes is a fixed price!"
Liu Yuxing's exorbitant price made Li Hong's eyes widen, "8000!? You only need to do it once! And you want 8000? "
Liu Yuxing was strong, but 8000 dragon scale runes was too much. It was not easy for Liu Yuxing to earn dragon scale runes when he was a rookie.
"Heh! If Yi Yun wins another eight rounds, you will have to pay 50,000. I only want 8000. It's not ridiculous. "
Liu Yuxing had targeted Li Hong's Achilles' heel and asked for a sky-high price.
Li Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Alright … 8000 it is. I'll only get it if I win."
"Don't worry!" Liu Yuxing laughed and stood up from his bed, "A kid from the Cloud Wilderness defeated a bunch of good-for-nothings. How can I lose to him!?"
The Four Bully Lords and the other disciples of the Hongdao Association were ranked in the hundreds amongst the rookies. Compared to Liu Yuxing, who was ranked sixth, the difference in strength was huge.
This was the reason why Liu Yuxing was so confident.
