As Yi Yun spoke to the referee, many cultivators in the arena looked over. Yi Yun was already the focus of attention, so him coming to the referee attracted even more attention.
They immediately realized that Yi Yun was probably going to submit his challenge for the next day.
"This Yi Yun is going to rush the Earth roll!"
Someone said excitedly. Yi Yun's next match was bound to be extremely exciting.
"That's for sure! Not only Yi Yun, Chu Xiaoran will also continue. With their strength, they can at least rush into the top 2000 of the Earth roll. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. "
As people discussed, some were looking forward to it, while others had sullen expressions.
Especially the veteran cultivators ranked in the top 2000 of the Earth roll. None of them could look forward to it. Their positions were very delicate. If they were unlucky and were challenged by Yi Yun or Chu Xiaoran, it would be a tragedy.
Just from today's match, they knew that Yi Yun and Chu Xiaoran's strength was about the same. None of them were easy to deal with. It would definitely not be easy for them to beat Yi Yun and Chu Xiaoran!
They were older, had higher cultivation levels and had been around longer. It was definitely not something to be proud of if they managed to beat the other party after a stumble.
And this was looking at the bright side. If they were careless and lost, it would be even more shameful.
There was no benefit to winning, and losing would be even more shameful. No one wanted to be the one to lose!
"I wonder who this kid is going to challenge …"
Many people listened attentively to Yi Yun's words. The arena was very quiet. With a warrior's hearing, unless they encountered someone like Elder Jian Ge who used his Yuan Qi to block out sound, they would be able to hear it clearly.
At this moment, Yi Yun was still smiling. He did not speak directly, but instead sent a Yuan Qi transmission to the referee, "We still need to be prepared, in case we catch them off guard …"
With Yi Yun's explanation, the referee found it odd. What catch them off guard? It wasn't like two armies were fighting, so there was no need to set up a formation. If it was a warrior … Unless they were injured, they could still fight at any time.
But seeing Yi Yun's wholehearted consideration for his opponent, the referee could only nod and say, "Since you insist, alright then. Let's inform them ahead of time. Who do you want to challenge? "
The referee thought that since Yi Yun was so considerate of his opponent, his opponent's strength was probably average.
Yi Yun would probably challenge the people ranked 21,000 or 21,000 on the Earth roll, as well as the other cultivators. After all, Yi Yun still had two matches tomorrow. The first match would be against the 2100-200 people to stabilize his ranking. In the second match, he would attempt to enter the top 2000.
Yi Yun handed over the challenge form that he had already written to the referee.
The judge took a look and his eyelids twitched. "What? You want to challenge Li Hong? Li Hong, ranked 1028 on the Earth Board!? "
Li Hong!?
The surrounding trial-takers. Knowing Yi Yun's next opponent, all of them were stunned!
Hongdao Association's President, Li Hong? Yi Yun actually challenged him?
They originally thought that it would be impressive for Yi Yun to challenge a person ranked 2000 on the Earth roll, but he actually challenged Li Hong who was ranked 1028!
What was he thinking!?
Li Hong had a grudge with Yi Yun in the past. Two months ago, Li Hong coveted Yi Yun's glory points and tried to cheat him. However, Yi Yun did not buy it, so they became enemies. This was something that almost everyone knew.
However, disputes were just disputes. This was the Earth roll of honor competition. It was determined by strength. Did Yi Yun have to do it because of a personal dispute? To challenge Li Hong?
Li Hong was not a pushover. He was the strongest person amongst the second year cultivators!
Li Hong's Heaven ranking had already charged into the top 1000.
Last month, his ranking on the Earth Roll had risen to 1028.
When the Earth ranking neared the top 1000. It was especially difficult to raise one's ranking. This was because the people here were all very close to the Yuan foundation realm. Their strength could be said to have reached the limits of the Purple Blood realm.
Even Li Hong himself was the same.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the strongest Purple Blood realm warriors in the entire Tai Ah Divine Kingdom were gathered at this ranking. The competition was intense!
Behind Li Hong, there were a few weaker Yuan foundation realm warriors with weaker cultivation techniques and moves!
For people at the Yuan foundation realm to be ranked behind Li Hong, it showed Li Hong's strength.
"The number one amongst the rookies is challenging the number one amongst the second year cultivators … Impressive!" Someone said. They were both number one. To cross a year to challenge someone was extremely rare in the Tai Ah Divine City.
"Li Hong will probably break through to the Yuan foundation in about half a month. Once he breaks through to the Yuan foundation, he will definitely enter the top 1000! He can even enter the top 700 of the Earth ranking! "
Li Hong did not enter the top 1000 in a year.
But in a year and a month, he had obtained a ranking of 1030 on the Heaven ranking and 1100 on the Earth ranking.
This was rather terrifying!
It was not every year that there were freaks like Chu Xiaoran and Yi Yun.
"Yi Yun against Li Hong. Why do I feel that … Yi Yun can't beat him …"
Many people had such thoughts. Yi Yun and Chu Xiaoran's battle was interesting, but compared to the people in the top 1000 of the Earth ranking, there was still a gap.
Everyone could understand why Yi Yun wanted to challenge Li Hong because of his pride. But if he were to be beaten up by Li Hong, or even seriously injured, wouldn't that be even more depressing?
"What is this Yi Yun thinking? He probably doesn't know what it means to be in the top 1000 of the Earth ranking … Or maybe he is still hiding his strength?"
"Still hiding his strength? He is only in the middle stages of Purple Blood. What other strength does he have to hide? Could it be that he has cultivated the Aspect Before Yuan? That's impossible. He came to the Tai Ah Divine City as a servant. He has never gone out to hunt desolate beasts! "
People found it incomprehensible. They felt that Yi Yun's challenge to Li Hong was just asking for trouble.
Previously, Li Hong had bullied Yi Yun, but he had also been tricked by Yi Yun. Now, Li Hong wanted to find trouble with Yi Yun! But Yi Yun had come knocking on his door.
At this moment, there were a few people sitting in the corner of the arena. They were members of the Hongdao Association.
Hearing that Yi Yun wanted to challenge their President, they immediately exploded!
"This kid, who does he think he is!?"
"Why doesn't he take a piss and look at himself? He thinks he is invincible just because he got first place amongst the rookies. He is courting death!"
Seeing Yi Yun's arrogance, threatening to challenge their boss in public, a few of them were immediately filled with righteous indignation.
But upon further thought, this might not be a bad thing. Since Yi Yun was so stupid to come knocking on their boss' door, they had to make good use of him. Not only would they beat Yi Yun into a pig's head, they would also ruthlessly scam Yi Yun!
Yes, scam him!
Previously, they had been badly scammed by Yi Yun. A bunch of brats had lined up to be beaten by Yi Yun with bricks. Not only were they beaten, they even had to give Yi Yun a large amount of dragon scale runes. Just thinking of those dragon scale runes made their hearts bleed!
"Let's quickly tell the boss!"
A few lackeys immediately understood. Li Hong was not present. He had been absent from the rookie competitions for the past few days. He had no interest in seeing others steal the limelight. Especially this afternoon, when Yi Yun had appeared and amazed everyone. Even if Li Hong was present, he had to leave early. If he saw Yi Yun steal the limelight, he would not feel good.
"Brothers, we need to take this opportunity to scam Yi Yun. We need to let the boss prepare ahead of time."
The person who spoke was a thirteen-year-old youth. He had previously lost a large amount of dragon scale runes to Yi Yun.
People who had lost a round would often want to gamble again to earn it back.
This was the psychology of a gambler. It was not a good mentality, but very few people could rein in their horses at this moment.
"That's right. The boss is not rich now. We have to prepare ahead of time for tomorrow's match. We have to make Yi Yun vomit everything he won!"
The Hongdao Association had lost a large sum of money in the lottery. Li Hong was now penniless. These lackeys thought that Li Hong had to make a big bet with Yi Yun and win it all back in one go. And the so-called "preparation" was to prepare the stakes of the bet in advance.
This was also the reason why Yi Yun had announced tomorrow's challenger in advance. If he suddenly said he wanted to challenge Li Hong tomorrow, there would be too little time. Li Hong was so poor, so how could he come up with a decent stake?
But if he said it today, Li Hong would have time to prepare. With his connections, he could still prepare something.
From the beginning to the end, Yi Yun had kept his last trump card. This trump card was prepared to be used against Li Hong.
A few lackeys stood up and looked at Yi Yun with either hatred or a grin. Their expressions seemed to say, "Kid, just you wait!"
They quietly left the arena and then immediately went to inform Li Hong, asking him to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
Unfortunately, when Yi Yun said to the referee "let the opponent prepare ahead of time", he had used a Yuan Qi transmission, so these lackeys did not hear it. If not, these youths might have found something amiss …
[I'm sorry to tell everyone, but actually … I have caught a cold again. And it's been two days. I wanted to break out at the beginning of the month, but it's too cold at home. The air conditioner can only keep me cool. The southern winters are freezing. My fingers are stiff when I type. Cocoon used to stay in a hotel on a business trip, so I didn't feel anything with the air conditioner on. But when I returned home, the temperature suddenly changed. I really couldn't take it. This cold isn't serious, so there won't be a lack of updates. It's just that it's getting late. I'm telling everyone in advance because I'm worried that if it gets serious, you will be mentally prepared … When the time comes, please scold me less harshly … + _ +]
