Although the ball of red light was fast, the power it contained was negligible. Tang Huan reached out his hand and grabbed, and it landed in his palm. It was a red jade tablet that was about three fingers wide.
Inside the jade tablet, the word "battle" could be clearly seen.
This was a very common Challenge Brand in the Sword-fighting Villa. Other than newcomers like Tang Huan, Hu Xuan and the others, all the cultivators who had signed up to participate in the battle basically had one.
Challenge Brand? Accepting the Challenge Brand meant accepting the opponent's challenge!
This guy was finished. From the looks of it, he should have just advanced to the Rank Six True Spirit not long ago. If he were to enter the arena, he would probably be tortured miserably.
His strength was inferior to others, so when he encountered provocation, he could only obediently swallow his anger. Now, wasn't this just giving points to others for nothing?
Perhaps it was because he had only been in the Sword-fighting Villa for a few days, but after a long time, with enough lessons, he would understand what to do.
From time to time, mutterings could be heard from the surroundings. When everyone looked at Tang Huan, their expressions were all different, some with sympathy, some with regret, and some with schadenfreude.
Hu Xuan and the rest were startled, they also did not expect that this fellow called Yu Mingjing would actually issue a challenge to Tang Huan without saying a single word. For Yu Mingjing to be able to accumulate more than a thousand points in the Sword-fighting Villa, one could imagine how strong his fighting strength was, Tang Huan might not be his match.
For a moment, Hu Xuan and the rest were a little worried.
They had long since witnessed Tang Huan's strength. Back then, at the Dragon Ascending River, it was Tang Huan who had turned the tide and defeated many people from the Dragon Clan, including Long Xueying who was at the peak of the Rank Five True Spirit. And at that time, Tang Huan was only at the peak of the Rank Three True Spirit.
However, within the Sword-fighting Villa, almost all of the most talented young cultivators in the entire Yan State were gathered. This Yu Mingjing was a Peak Rank Six True Spirit cultivator, but his true strength might even be comparable to a Rank Seven True Spirit cultivator. Otherwise, how could he have accumulated so many points?
Although Tang Huan was already at the Rank Six True Spirit, he might not be his match.
Kid, looks like we need to find a stage!
Yu Mingjing sized Tang Huan up from head to toe, his eyes filled with ridicule. I have been in Sword-fighting Villa for three months, and this Challenge Brand has been sent out a total of thirteen times. Ten of the times, the ones who received my Challenge Brand were all people with higher cultivation than me, and three times were people with lower cultivation than me. Those three fellows, after the battle, almost all of them had to lie in bed for an entire month. Brat, you will soon become the fourth person!
Hearing his words, the faces of Hu Xuan and the rest changed.
Are you crazy? " Tang Huan squinted and looked at Yu Mingjing, and said coldly.
What do you mean?
Yu Mingjing's handsome face instantly darkened.
The corner of Tang Huan's mouth raised slightly, and said somewhat mockingly: "Looks like your brain is indeed not too good, since that's the case, then I will let you wake up properly." As he spoke, Tang Huan raised his right hand, and the Challenge Brand in his hand immediately turned into a ball of red light, and actually threw it back towards Yu Mingjing.
Hmm?
Yu Mingjing grabbed it, looked at the Challenge Brand in his hand, then looked at Tang Huan who was in front of him, and could not believe his own eyes. Not only him, the surrounding cultivators who were watching the commotion were also stunned. Returning the Challenge Brand meant rejecting the opponent's challenge. Towards this kind of guy, the Sword-fighting Villa's way of doing things had always been to clear his score and expel him.
Not being able to participate in the battles in the Sword-fighting Villa and accumulate points meant that the door to the Pure Yang Sword Sect had already closed!
It was impossible for this fellow not to know what his actions meant, but he still threw the Challenge Brand back to Yu Mingjing. Could it be that he did not want to join the Pure Yang Sword Sect?
Seeing that, Hu Xuan and the rest were also extremely suspicious.
They were very clear that Tang Huan's goal was the same as theirs. The reason why he came all the way from the Wind Howling City to the Yan Yang City was to become a disciple of the sword sect.
Rejecting the challenge, you are cutting yourself off from the 'Pure Yang Sword Sect'!
Yu Mingjing regained his senses, a hint of anger flashed past his eyes. If the other party really did not plan to join the Pure Yang Sword Sect, he really could not do anything to the other party.
This Sword-fighting Villa, and even the entire Yan Yang City, forbade private battles.
If he wanted to resolve the dispute, he could go to the life and death arena in the west of the city, or go outside the city. However, the other party had even rejected his challenge in the Sword-fighting Villa, so how could he go to the life and death arena with him? Furthermore, it was impossible for him to keep an eye on the other party and see when he would leave the Yan Yang City.
I have just entered the Sword-fighting Villa today, and have yet to register for any battles. Do you think there is a need for me to accept your challenge? You don't even know my situation, and you dare to challenge me? He had been in the Sword-fighting Villa for a few months, yet he was still so rash. If he wasn't sick in the head, then what was?
Tang Huan laughed in ridicule.
When Hu Xuan and the rest heard this, their faces were filled with joy.
In that thin book, it had indeed been mentioned that after participating in the battle, challenges within the rules could not be rejected, because after participating in the battle, it was equivalent to being a preparatory disciple of the Sword Sect. Of course, this preparatory disciple was only a verbal title, and before becoming an official disciple, there were no rights or benefits.
However, before participating in the battle, whether or not he needed to accept the challenge was not stated in the book. It was obvious that he could accept it or not, it was all up to him.
The expressions of Hu Xuan and the rest relaxed. Just now, they were in a hurry and did not think of this point.
Yu Mingjing was obviously very surprised as well. After being stunned for a moment, her fair face flushed red from embarrassment and anger as she said coldly. Brat, I don't believe that you won't participate in the battle in this Sword-fighting Villa! I want to see how you will reject my challenge after you participate in the battle.
The strange gazes from the surroundings made Yu Mingjing feel as if there was a blade on his back. He angrily finished speaking and turned to leave.
However, just as he took two steps, a voice made him stop: Since you want to challenge me so much, if I don't fulfill your wish, wouldn't that be too unreasonable?
Oh?
Yu Mingjing sneered as he turned around. He subconsciously wanted to retort, but before the voice could even rush out of his throat, it turned into a low cry of surprise. In his line of sight, the guy who wanted to teach him a lesson was actually walking towards the small round stage on the left side of the stage.
On the stage, the battle between Jiao Tianlei and Fu Junwei had already begun, but the majority of the cultivators on the stage were attracted by Tang Huan.
Seeing Tang Huan's actions, not only were Hu Xuan and the rest puzzled, the surrounding people were also surprised.
Previously, he had even returned Yu Mingjing's challenge, but looking at the meaning of his words just now, it seemed like he planned to agree to Yu Mingjing's challenge. Furthermore, the direction he was heading towards was obviously the referee stand of this stage. According to the rules, all cultivators who had just entered the Sword-fighting Villa and were preparing to participate in the battle could sign up at any referee stand to receive a Challenge Brand, as well as a jade tablet that represented the identity of a preparatory disciple.
Sure enough, under everyone's gaze, Tang Huan walked up to the referee stand.
Not long later, Tang Huan walked down and leisurely returned to his original spot. He smiled slowly and said: "Now, you can hand over your 'Challenge Brand' to me."
Yu Mingjing's expression was unsettled.
Previously, he had given the Challenge Brand to Tang Huan in a high and mighty manner, occupying the initiative. But now, it was Tang Huan who had requested him to hand over the Challenge Brand, and the one who had the initiative was Tang Huan. If he really did as Tang Huan said and gave the Challenge Brand, he would have lost in terms of momentum.
