"Oh? Who do you want to challenge? "
When he heard that Ling Dong had actually taken the initiative to issue a challenge, Yue Yuan asked in a noncommittal manner. However, the trace of disappointment at the corners of his mouth was clearly revealed. Obviously, the outcome of the battle between Ling Dong and Lie Fentian hadn't met Yue Yuan's expectations.
Ling Dong was merely defeated. This was not the result that Yue Yuan had hoped for after painstakingly playing such a game.
"Lie Fentian!"
"What? Who do you want to challenge?" When he heard Ling Dong announce the name of the martialist he wanted to challenge, even Yue Yuan's ears twitched subconsciously. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, so he asked Ling Dong again.
Di Nankun, Huo Lin, and Bai Yuhan, who were watching the battle, were completely dumbfounded. Huo Lin, who was usually hot-tempered, was so anxious that he was stamping his feet.
"This Ling Dong, what is he doing? It wasn't easy for you to escape from that guy's Fire Domain, and now you're challenging him again? Aren't you courting death? "Others might not know, but Huo Lin and Di Nankun knew very well how powerful the Fire Domain was.
If there was a loophole in the rules of the Free Challenge Competition, then this loophole would be the Domain. If a martialist studied a certain nomological power and formed his own Domain, he could isolate the protective power of the Killing Field from the martialist.
Huo Lin wasn't just flustered. When he shouted this, his figure flashed and he rushed towards Ling Dong. "Have I become stupid by capturing this little bastard?"
"Hold on!" Di Nankun reached out and stopped Huo Lin just as he was about to rush over. He had a pensive look on his face. The quietest person was actually Bai Yuhan, who was watching the battle quietly. However, there was a doubtful glint in her eyes. Clearly, she didn't understand why Ling Dong was doing this.
He had just been defeated, yet he wanted to challenge another martialist. Moreover, the challenger was Lie Fen Tian, who had just beaten Ling Dong to the point of being unable to fight back.
No one could understand why Ling Dong was doing this. Even Lie Fen Tian, who had just escaped from Ling Dong's incomplete Fire Domain, suppressed the shock on his face. He was very puzzled.
In everyone's eyes, Ling Dong had made a decision that no one could understand. This included his enemies and opponents.
"Huo Lin, is Ling Dong also this impulsive and reckless when he does things?" Di Nankun asked Huo Lin after stopping him. His face was filled with doubt.
"No! This child, Ling Dong, usually acts in a steady manner. He plans before acting. He often does things that others can't. The results of his actions are always beyond our expectations. However, he rarely fails! "Huo Lin blurted out his evaluation of Ling Dong without even thinking about it.
After listening to Huo Lin's evaluation of Ling Dong, Di Nankun's brows furrowed slightly. Then, he slowly relaxed and said, "If his usual behavior is as you say, then let's wait and see. Don't stop him. Perhaps, he has his own considerations. "
"Hmm?" Di Nankun's words suppressed Huo Lin's impulse. He also looked at Ling Dong doubtfully.
"I want to challenge Lie Fen Tian!" In the face of Yue Yuan's question, Ling Dong's voice was extremely resolute. This was Ling Dong's only chance to go back on his words. His words were like gold as they landed on the ground!
"Alright!"
Yue Yuan would have slapped his thigh in glee if he hadn't been concerned about his image in front of the other martialists.
"Although it's against the rules, I'll give you this opportunity since you're willing to do so. However, Lie Fen Tian has just fought a battle. Under normal circumstances, he can only be challenged or take the initiative to challenge others tomorrow. Therefore, your challenge to Lie Fen Tian can only proceed if Lie Fen Tian agrees. "
Although Yue Yuan was extremely happy that Ling Dong had challenged Lie Fen Tian again like a fool, he was a sly old fox. He suppressed his excitement and handled this matter flawlessly.
Everything was based on the rules of the Free Challenge Competition. If the higher-ups questioned him afterwards, the two martialists who had participated in the battle had done so willingly. It had nothing to do with Yue Yuan.
In fact, when Ling Dong had said that he had the right to challenge others, Yue Yuan had already planned to use the rules to stop Ling Dong's challenge.
In Yue Yuan's opinion, Ling Dong had initiated the challenge because he wanted to challenge someone weaker than Ling Dong in order to win more matches. That way, he would be able to remain among the 36 winners of the free-for-all competition.
However, no matter how Yue Yuan thought about it, he hadn't expected Ling Dong to challenge Lie Fen Tian, who had just defeated him. Therefore, Yue Yuan had lost his composure earlier.
The main reason was that Yue Yuan had thought that the result he had anticipated or arranged would happen. However, he hadn't expected that Ling Dong would charge in. Now that Ling Dong had taken the initiative to challenge him again, the possibility of the result he had anticipated or arranged would be greater.
"Ahem!" Yue Yuan first cleared his throat before asking Lie Fen Tian in a serious manner, "Lie Fen Tian, your battle today is over. Now that Ling Dong wants to challenge you again, are you willing to accept? You have the right to refuse!"
"Refuse? How could I, Lie Fentian, refuse the challenge of a defeated opponent who admitted defeat after being defeated by me? "Lie Fentian replied Yue Yuan with an extremely sarcastic laugh.
Of course, it wasn't clear how happy Yue Yuan felt when he heard Lie Fen Tian's words. In short, the instant Yue Yuan heard Lie Fen Tian's reply, he loudly announced, "Ling Dong challenges Lie Fen Tian to enter the second space's slaughterhouse!"
However, this time was different from the last time. After Yue Yuan's announcement, neither Ling Dong nor Lie Fen Tian rushed into the second space's slaughterhouse in a hurry.
Ling Dong aside, even Lie Fen Tian needed some time to carefully consider this.
There were more than 50,000 elites in the entire Vermilion Bird Star System. If you counted the initial auditions held by the various sects and clans, then every one of the more than 300 martialists standing here had emerged from millions of elite martialists.
Therefore, every martial artist who could stand here was not someone with an undeserved reputation. Every one of these elites might have a unique personality, such as Lie Fen Tian's arrogance when it came to astral flames. However, this arrogance couldn't hide his cautiousness.
Yes, cautiousness!
Especially after Ling Dong's attack that had just taken shape and had yet to stabilize his Fire Domain, as well as the fact that Ling Dong, a defeated opponent, had taken the initiative to challenge him with an incomparably confident expression. All of this made Lie Fen Tian have no choice but to be cautious.
"Actually, you don't have to rush to your death right now. I'll wait for you to recover to your peak condition tomorrow before killing you. That will give me a greater sense of accomplishment!" Lie Fen Tian said slowly after looking at Ling Dong suspiciously for a long time.
"Tomorrow?" Upon hearing Lie Fen Tian's words, Ling Dong suddenly smiled. "Actually, I don't need to challenge you tomorrow. You'll still take the initiative to challenge me, right?" Ling Dong didn't answer the question.
However, after a moment of silence, Lie Fen Tian nodded heavily and answered Ling Dong.
"Then, why don't we do it now?" Ling Dong pursed his lips.
"Alright, why don't we do it now! Right now, I have more confidence in killing you than tomorrow. There's no need to wait until tomorrow … "At this point, Lie Fen Tian's voice suddenly stopped. His eyes involuntarily looked up and focused on Ling Dong.
All of this was completely observed by Ling Dong. Combined with the sudden change in Lie Fen Tian's aura before the start of the previous battle, Ling Dong came to a conclusion.
This conclusion was that Yue Yuan and Lie Fen Tian might have made some kind of deal or agreement. The prerequisite for this deal or agreement was to kill Ling Dong.
Ling Dong's words had a basis.
In the previous battle, the aura that Lie Fen Tian emitted was only battle intent and not killing intent. After inexplicably raising his head to look at the sky, Ling Dong developed a strong killing intent towards him.
This strong killing intent was also displayed in actual combat.
At that time and now, Yue Yuan was the only one in the sky. Now that Lie Fen Tian had directly said that he wanted to kill Ling Dong, it was difficult for Ling Dong not to have such thoughts.
It was also because Ling Dong saw this point that he took the initiative to challenge Lie Fen Tian. Even if Ling Dong didn't challenge Lie Fen Tian today, in tomorrow's free challenge, under Yue Yuan's arrangement, Lie Fen Tian would definitely choose an opponent before Ling Dong, and Lie Fen Tian's opponent would still be Ling Dong!
However, this kind of dangerous killing intent was one thing, but to challenge an opponent who had just defeated and admitted defeat required not only courage, but also confidence.
Ling Dong's current confidence in challenging Lie Fen Tian was actually due to a discovery he had made.
Ling Dong discovered that in the previous battle between him and Lie Fen Tian, whether it was Yue Yuan's introduction, Lie Fen Tian's challenge, or his own thoughts, all of them focused on the competition between him and Lie Fen Tian's Innate Spirit Fire.
In terms of cultivation, Ling Dong was inferior to Lie Fen Tian!
In terms of attainments in Innate Spirit Fire, Ling Dong was inferior to Lie Fen Tian!
In terms of comprehension of the Law of Fire, Ling Dong was inferior to Lie Fen Tian!
With these three points, if Ling Dong used Innate Spirit Fire against Lie Fen Tian, it could be said that he had lost before the battle.
The moment Ling Dong entered the arena and used Innate Spirit Fire in the previous battle, he had already been defeated. This discovery was the biggest source of confidence for Ling Dong to challenge Lie Fen Tian again.
Of course, this was only on the strategic level. If one were to compare carefully, one would find that Ling Dong's chances of winning against Lie Fen Tian now was much higher than Lie Fen Tian's challenge against Ling Dong tomorrow.
For example, in terms of cultivation consumption. Ling Dong had five Star Souls, while Lie Fen Tian only had one. Moreover, Lie Fen Tian had just used the Raging Fire Domain, so his consumption was definitely not small.
On the other hand, although Ling Dong had consumed a lot of Gang Qi, it was not much since it was more than five Star Souls on average.
Of course, more importantly, Ling Dong had discovered his true advantage in the battle against Lie Fen Tian!
As his figure flashed, Ling Dong once again took out a Gold Spirit Substitute Talisman at a low altitude. After activating it, he made an inviting gesture towards Lie Fen Tian, and his figure once again flashed into the Slaughtering Field of Space No. 2.
"Hmph, since you're in such a hurry to die, I'll fulfill your wish. Of course, I'm also fulfilling my own wish!" With a cold snort, Lie Fen Tian cautiously took out a Gold Spirit Substitute Talisman and rushed into the Slaughterhouse Space Number Two.
Seeing this, Yue Yuan, who was in the sky, beamed with joy! (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
