"In view of the fact that many cultivators have expended too much energy in today's free challenge, it will be difficult for them to recover to their peak state in a single night. Considering the fairness of the free challenge, I've decided that tomorrow will be a day's rest. The free challenge will continue the day after tomorrow!" After a day's free challenge ended, Yue Yuan suddenly announced a result that surprised all the cultivators.
More than three hundred cultivators had participated in the free challenge, and each of them had fought once. Less than two hundred battles had taken place in ten Slaughterhouses simultaneously, and it had only taken half a day to end. However, no one had expected that Supremacy Yue Yuan, who was presiding over the elite battle, would make such a decision.
Of course, when they heard Yue Yuan's decision, most of the participating cultivators were delighted.
"Would he be so kind?" Huo Lin was the first to question Yue Yuan's decision.
On the side, Di Nankun frowned as he looked at Lie Fentian, who was quietly cultivating in a corner in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's residence. That weak Divine Soul aura was especially clear in the eyes of a powerhouse like Di Nankun.
"Of course, he doesn't have good intentions towards me. However, to some people, such as Lie Fentian, he has good intentions. This Yue Yuan still hasn't given up and still wants to rely on Lie Fentian to deal with me, "Ling Dong said.
"That's right. Lie Fentian's Divine Soul aura is abnormally weak. Let alone one day, he might not even be able to recover to his peak state in two days. Yue Yuan deliberately stopped fighting for a day to pave the way for Lie Fentian, "Inspector Di Nankun said in a deep voice with a frown.
As Di Nankun's voice fell, the gazes of the dozen or so cultivators near the small group from the Wood Puppet Realm all gathered on the face of Lie Fentian, who was cultivating cross-legged in the distance.
The attentive Ling Dong noticed that Lie Fentian's eyebrows had clearly twitched twice. Perhaps he had realized the true purpose of Yue Yuan's decision, or perhaps he had sensed the gazes of the many cultivators from the Wood Puppet Realm.
Shi Qianbi, who was waiting on the side, revealed a bitter smile. "This Supremacy Yue Yuan is really vengeful. In order to take revenge on Brother Ling, he's simply unscrupulous in his methods."
"Inspector Di, does this count as blatant corruption? There have been such cases in the past. Can we …"
Before Huo Lin could say anything else, Di Nankun waved his hand gently and interrupted him. "Huo Lin, I understand what you mean, but there is no need for that. For Lie Fen Tian, resting for two days is a chance for him to recover to his peak state. However, for Ling Dong, resting for two days is a greater opportunity. "
"A greater opportunity?" Fire's eyes widened in confusion.
Di Nankun didn't answer Huo Lin's question directly. Instead, he turned to Ling Dong and asked, "Ling Dong, you fought two fierce battles with Lie Fen Tian today, and then you watched the battle for nearly four hours. You must have gained something, right?"
"Reporting to Lord Patrol Envoy, I've gained a lot. Although most of the cultivators who watched the battle just now weren't top-notch, many of them had their own unique fighting styles and even their strengths. Some of them inadvertently solved a problem that had puzzled me for a long time. Come to think of it, what I've gained from watching the battle today is worth several years of bitter cultivation. "In front of Di Nankun, Ling Dong spoke bluntly and without any exaggeration.
Bitter cultivation in seclusion was like building a car behind closed doors. Sometimes, one wouldn't even realize that one was at a dead end. However, watching other people's life and death battles could often solve many of the puzzles that had been at a dead end.
"That's good!" Di Nankun nodded in satisfaction when he heard this. "In the following days, I hope that you can transform what you've learned today into your true battle strength. Let me ask you, if you were to fight with Lie Fen Tian at his peak state the day after tomorrow, what are your chances of winning?"
Hearing this, Ling Dong didn't answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "If Lie Fen Tian's strength is what he has shown today, then if I were to fight with him at his peak state, I would have at least a seventy percent chance of winning."
"Seventy percent! Good! " Inspector Di Nankun revealed a rare sarcastic smile. "If you were to defeat Lie Fen Tian again the day after tomorrow, the expression of Yue Yuan, who has been scheming to use Lie Fen Tian to deal with you, would definitely be very interesting!"
"Heh, don't worry, Inspector. I will definitely make Yue Yuan's expression more interesting than ever." Ling Dong said in high spirits.
What Ling Dong didn't expect was that his words would cause Di Nankun to reprimand him. "Arrogant before the battle. If you maintain this attitude, perhaps Yue Yuan will laugh his head off. Time is of the essence. Why aren't you quietly comprehending? "
Di Nankun's last sentence carried a hint of reprimand.
"Yes!" Ling Dong's heart trembled. He hurriedly put away the faint sense of pride that he felt when he defeated Lie Fen Tian. He threw an encouraging look at Bai Yuhan and found a place to sit cross-legged and meditate.
"Hmm? What are the few of you standing there for? Don't tell me you want me to invite you to meditate one by one? " In the next moment, Di Nankun's stern reprimand rang in the ears of the Wood Spider Kingdom's martial practitioners who were participating in the Soul Battle. Shi Qianbi was so shocked that she stuck her tongue out and hurriedly found a place to meditate.
There were close to two hundred battles in today's free challenge competition. There were winners, losers, and even more, there were martial artists who died in battle. But at this stage, and this was only the first day of the free challenge competition, the final decision had yet to be made. Thus, death in battle was extremely rare. Out of the three hundred or so martial artists, only one had died in battle today.
The results of the Wood Spider Kingdom were extremely strange.
Di Nankun originally thought that Shi Qianbi and Ling Dong would definitely win the first round. However, both of them were defeated because they were matched up against strong opponents. On the other hand, Bai Yuhan and another martial practitioner, whom Di Nankun didn't think highly of, were waiting inconspicuously. The two martial practitioners thought that they had picked up a soft persimmon and were very happy.
Especially the guy who thought that he had picked up a soft persimmon like Bai Yuhan. He was extremely unlucky. Bai Yuhan's move was extremely unique. Even Ling Dong was extremely wary of the Shaoyin Primordial Water, which almost froze that guy to death on the spot.
Bai Yuhan had picked up a soft persimmon that was sent to her doorstep. In the results of the first day, Bai Yuhan was in the lead in the Wood Spider Kingdom.
The top ten Soul Battle results that Ling Dong had been paying attention to were all outstanding. Except for Shi Qianbi, who had been completely defeated by Mo Yu, and the eighth place Soul Battle result, everyone else had won a round and entered the competition.
Especially Huang Hou, who was from the Earth Deer Kingdom. His earth-type Gang Qi was superb, and the spectators were all shocked. In Ling Dong's opinion, if Huang Hou and Lie Fentian were to meet, Lie Fentian might not necessarily have the upper hand.
As for the loss of the eighth place in the Soul Battle, it was a huge upset. A youth called Fa Fei directly crushed the eighth place in the Soul Battle, displaying extremely extraordinary strength.
Of course, the biggest upset of the day was Ling Dong's counterattack against Lie Fentian. This result made Yue Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the sky, extremely puzzled and depressed.
Because until now, Yue Yuan had not figured out how Ling Dong defeated Lie Fentian.
Looking at Ling Dong's smile below, Yue Yuan was full of anger. Thinking about how he had missed a great opportunity because of this kid, and how he had wasted a few years in Connecting Heaven Palace, and now could only stay under the Left Minister of the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's residence, Yue Yuan was full of anger.
"Lie Fentian, I've given you a chance. I hope you, tomorrow … and the day after tomorrow, don't let me down …" In the sky, Yue Yuan's gaze was constantly on Ling Dong and Lie Fentian.
.....
After a day and a night, the dim red light that filled the square of the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's residence dissipated. When the first ray of sunlight shone over, Yue Yuan's cold snort woke up all the warriors who were seizing the time to cultivate.
"The free challenge will now continue. According to the principle of fairness set by the Vermilion Bird Star Lord, today, the warriors who lost the day before will choose the challenger. The order will still be the same as that day." Yue Yuan paused for a moment and stared at Lie Fentian.
"Ah, this Yue Yuan is really eloquent. I've long expected him to say this. However, if Ling Dong lost the day before yesterday, I wonder what kind of reason he would come up with? "Di Nankun's face was filled with mockery when he heard Yue Yuan's words.
"No matter what reason he comes up with, he will let Lie Fentian challenge Dong Er." Huo Lin replied from the side.
"The first place Mo Yu has won. The second place Lie Fentian has lost. Lie Fentian will choose the challenger for today's first challenge. Lie Fentian, hurry up! "
"See, I wasn't wrong. This Yue Yuan is even more shameless than I imagined. He actually appointed Lie Fentian to challenge Ling Dong! "Everyone looked at each other and laughed when Yue Yuan finished speaking.
At this moment, Yue Yuan's actions were like a clown in the eyes of the people from the Wood Sprite Realm. Only the people from the Wood Sprite Realm understood that even if Lie Fentian didn't challenge Ling Dong, Ling Dong would take the initiative to challenge Lie Fentian.
Lie Fentian, who was in the distance, had an uneasy expression when he heard Yue Yuan's words. Yue Yuan had acted so viciously and straightforwardly. Anyone with a brain would understand the meaning behind this.
However, even though everyone's gazes made him feel uncomfortable, Lie Fentian understood one thing. No matter what, Ling Dong had to be his opponent today, even without Yue Yuan's interference.
He had to challenge Ling Dong. This was his pride!
If he lost this pride, he would be like a peacock that had lost its pride. No matter how big and beautiful his feathers were, he would lose the noble aura of the spirit of all birds.
"I …" After a pause, Lie Fentian's gaze suddenly locked onto Ling Dong. When he suddenly raised his head, he pointed his left index finger at Ling Dong and pointed at Ling Dong fiercely. A biting cold battle intent surged out like a tide.
"Ling Dong!" After throwing down these two words, Lie Fentian's figure abruptly turned into lightning. After taking out a Gold Spirit Substitute Talisman, he flashed directly into the Slaughterhouse of Space No. 1.
"Lie Fentian challenges Ling Dong. Ling Dong, enter quickly. Don't waste time!" In the sky, when Yue Yuan announced this, the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of an expectant smile.
