At night, many rookies gathered in the arena's hall. They were discussing the day's battles, while waiting for the day's challenge cards to be handed out.
Other than a highly sought-after person like Yi Yun, who had been scheduled to fight more than thirty matches before the ranking competition began, the other cultivators did not have many matches to fight. They often had to decide on the next day's challenge based on the results and rankings of the first day's matches.
Hence, the challenge cards had to be handed out every day.
And the 12 challenge cards belonging to Yi Yun would be collected and given to those who had challenged Yi Yun.
Previously, Yi Yun's challenge card was extremely popular, but today, it had become a hot potato.
No one wanted it!
But … the challenge had already been arranged. The bets had been paid, so they had to accept it even if they did not want to!
"Where's Zhang Chang? Come and collect your challenge card! Hurry up! "
The administrator in charge of handing out the challenge cards said impatiently. He had consecutively handed out a few challenge cards for Yi Yun, but the people who collected them all made excuses. It gave people the feeling that they were going to the execution ground.
Zhang Chang, who had his name called, had a bitter look on his face. It was as if his parents had died. He reluctantly squeezed out from the crowd.
Seeing Yi Yun's card on the table in front of the administrator, Zhang Chang wished he could slap himself twice. How could he have such a cheap mouth? He had thought he had made a killing by going up to snatch it, but now he knew that it was not a card, it was clearly a brick.
He was asking for it for no reason!
Just as Zhang Chang was about to walk up the stage, a youth in white walked past Zhang Chang calmly. He held a fan in his hand and had a relaxed smile on his face. It was as if he was on a sightseeing tour.
Seeing this youth, Zhang Chang was stunned. He did not know what he was going to do, but he saw the youth wave his hand. It was as if his palm had a magnet. The card that was placed on the table flew up and into the hands of the youth in white!
"If you don't want to accept it, I'll accept it for you!"
The youth in white smiled and turned around. With a "Pa" sound, he opened his fan and slowly waved it.
This was a very handsome youth. He had a jade-like complexion, but his looks were somewhat feminine, lacking some masculinity.
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded. The people around him were dumbfounded. How could he take something out of thin air?
Using one's thoughts and Yuan Qi to inject into a magical weapon, controlling the magical weapon to kill from a distance. This was the realm of Object Driving. Wasn't Object Driving something only Yuan foundation realm warriors could do?
This youth looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. It was impossible for him to be a Yuan foundation realm warrior, or he would have caused a stir in the country.
"He's Liu Yuxing!"
Someone recognized the young man in white and said.
"Hmm? Liu Yuxing!? "
Many people. He had never seen Liu Yuxing in person, but he had heard of his name.
Liu Yuxing was ranked 10,006 on the Earth roll. Although it was said to be 10,006, everyone knew that those ranked above 10,000 would begin rushing up the rankings a few days after the rookie ranking competition. They would rush up a few thousand places in one fell swoop, and it was very normal for them to be ranked 4000-5000 on the Earth roll!
"So it's Duke Liu's son. What he used just now was the Liu Family's ultimate skill — the Star Picking Hand! "
Object Driving was indeed a privilege of Yuan foundation realm warriors. Back when Yi Yun wanted to choose the Heaven Upheaval Seal as his weapon, the referee of the competition had told Yi Yun. Only Yuan foundation realm warriors could control the Heaven Upheaval Seal, as Yi Yun's cultivation level was insufficient. Later on, Yi Yun was unable to control the Heaven Upheaval Seal, so he used it as a brick.
Of course, Liu Yuxing had not broken through to the Yuan foundation realm, but … The law that restricted Purple Blood realm warriors was clearly not applicable to Liu Yuxing.
People did not know what cultivation technique the "Star Picking Hand" was, but just the ability to take something out of thin air was shocking.
The Tai Ah Divine City was truly a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Even Purple Blood realm warriors had the means of a Yuan foundation realm warrior!
"Liu Yuxing wants to challenge Yi Yun!?" A bald youth said in surprise. Liu Yuxing's motive for taking Yi Yun's challenge token was self-evident.
Liu Yuxing was ranked sixth amongst the rookies based on his strength. This was completely different from Yi Yun.
Liu Yuxing challenging Yi Yun was something worth watching!
"Challenge?" When Liu Yuxing heard the bald youth's words, he found it harsh on his ears. What kind of person was Liu Yuxing? Fighting Yi Yun was already degrading his status, yet they actually said "challenge"?
"Did you say it …?"
Liu Yuxing said these words softly. He did not seem to make any movements, but the bald youth who had just spoken suddenly trembled. He felt as though an invisible sword was pressed against his forehead. It made it difficult for him to breathe and his heartbeat stagnated.
"Ah … Ah …"
The bald youth's neck was stretched backwards as he pressed his chest with great effort. He looked like he was in extreme pain.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"
Seeing the bald youth's strange behavior, the friends around him were alarmed. They quickly went to check on the bald youth's situation.
And at this moment, the bald youth felt the pressure on his forehead lessen. The invisible killing intent dissipated.
The bald youth broke out into a cold sweat. He did not know what had just happened.
Although he was weak, he was from a small family clan in a remote state. He was ranked around 2000 amongst the rookies, and was considered a small fry. But he was not nearly killed by Liu Yuxing, and he did not even know what methods Liu Yuxing had used!
"You … You …" The bald youth looked at Liu Yuxing in horror. What … happened just now?
"You can eat indiscriminately, but don't speak indiscriminately." Liu Yuxing played with the fan in his hand and said in a feminine voice. "It's just that someone can't stand the sight of Yi Yun, so they paid a price to get rid of him."
"So … Do you understand?"
Only then did people understand why Liu Yuxing had punished the bald youth. He felt that the word "challenge" was an insult to him. He wanted to get rid of Yi Yun, not challenge Yi Yun. In most cases, a "challenge" referred to a battle between juniors.
Liu Yuxing closed his fan and pointed it at the bald youth's chest from a distance of thirty feet. He felt that even if he won this battle against Yi Yun, it would only increase Yi Yun's reputation. He was unhappy, but after being criticized by the bald youth, he became even more unhappy.
The bald youth felt that Liu Yuxing's fan was really pointing at his chest, making his heart palpitate.
He said with difficulty, "I … I understand."
Only then did Liu Yuxing nod his head in satisfaction. He looked at Zhang Chang, who had previously wanted to take Yi Yun's challenge token, and said, "The token is mine. As for the battle with Yi Yun, just admit defeat."
Liu Yuxing said casually. Zhang Chang had no reason to disagree. He nodded his head vigorously, "Alright, feel free to take it."
Liu Yuxing chuckled and took Yi Yun's token. He lightly weighed it in his hand before turning around and walking out of the hall.
The people in the hall immediately made way for Liu Yuxing. Who dared to block this devil's path!?
Only when Liu Yuxing's back disappeared into the night did people swallow a mouthful of saliva and whispered, "This rascal … is even more arrogant than Yi Yun!"
Yi Yun had used a brick to deal with the Four Bully Lords, and did not use a weapon from beginning to end. In the eyes of many, this was a sign of arrogance.
But compared to Liu Yuxing, Yi Yun was really honest.
"He is arrogant, but he has the capital to be arrogant. He is ranked sixth amongst the rookies. If Yi Yun is excluded, Liu Yuxing is actually ranked fifth! And the Liu family's' Star Picking Hand 'has always been famous. Its methods are mysterious. Many people have seen the' Star Picking Hand '. They are all dead! "
Many family clans not only kept the cultivation technique a secret, they also kept the effects of the cultivation technique a secret.
Of course, it was impossible to keep the effects of the cultivation technique a secret.
During a martial arts competition, during a battle. People would always see it.
But by doing so, those who were not well-informed or knowledgeable would not understand their moves. They would feel that it was mysterious and terrifying.
"Liu Yuxing said that someone paid a price to get him to deal with Yi Yun. It must be Li Hong. Indeed, Yi Yun had placed such a huge bet on the Hongdao Association's betting, so Li Hong would not sit idly by. He thought that tomorrow's match would be Yi Yun's crushing victory, but now there's something to look forward to. We can witness the glory of the 'Star Picking Hand'! "
Many people were looking forward to it. Even the bald youth who had been beaten by Liu Yuxing in public was the same. He too wanted to know what Liu Yuxing's cultivation technique was like.
And how would Yi Yun deal with Liu Yuxing?
…
An uneventful night passed. The next day, at dawn, the Tai Ah Divine City rookies once again rushed to the arena.
After a night of cultivation, Yi Yun still did not know what kind of opponent he would face today.
Yesterday, when the challenge tokens were given out, Yi Yun did not go because he did not have a token.
On the way, Yi Yun realized that many people were looking at him and discussing in private.
Because of Yi Yun's strength, these people did not dare to point at Yi Yun or criticize him. So they used Yuan Qi transmissions.
Yi Yun touched his nose with an odd expression. What the heck?
"Yi Yun! You are famous again! " From afar, Zhou Kui laughed foolishly as he walked towards Yi Yun. Yesterday, he had bet on Yi Yun winning more than ten matches in a row and won a sum of dragon scale runes. He was very happy.
He originally thought that if he knew Yi Yun was so fierce, he would have bet on Yi Yun winning twenty matches, so he could win more.
But today, he learned that Yi Yun had been targeted by Liu Yuxing!
Back when Zhou Kui was in the Xuanwu Army, he had heard a general list the heroes of this generation in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. At that time, the general had mentioned Liu Yuxing. He was a person with terrifying strength. He had previously been on the battlefield and had killed people.
Liu Yuxing was arrogant, and he even considered everyone beneath him. But this was built on the foundation of absolute strength!
Hearing that Yi Yun would be fighting Liu Yuxing today, Zhou Kui felt lucky. Thankfully, he did not bet on Yi Yun winning twenty matches. If not, it would be hard to tell if Yi Yun would win or lose today's battle!
Seeing Yi Yun's blank expression, Zhou Kui said, "Brother Yi, don't you know? Today, you will be fighting Liu Yuxing!"
