C263 Challenge(1)
Whoosh!
Ye Xiao's starry eyes flickered. The Myriad Origin Divine Eye pierced through everything and finally passed through the heavy crowd and landed on the largest arena in front of him.
There were four rings in total, and they were of different sizes. Only the one that Ye Xiao had locked onto was the largest. Similarly, it was also the only one with one person. A young man wearing a fiery red armor was sitting on the ring with a bored look on his face. A strange sword that was as thick as an adult's waist was stuck beside him. The young man held it with one hand and was yawning. He did not care about the rolling battles on the other rings at all.
"He is Ardent Sun Holy Son?"
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows.
It wasn't because he really knew who Ardent Sun Holy Son was, but because, out of all the people present, the young man's cultivation base was obviously the best. His body was burning with raging flames, and most of his totem had already been lit up by the raging flames.
Who would have thought that Qu Tenghai would shake his head?
"No."
"He is only the First Commander of the Raging Flame Army. He can be considered Ardent Sun Holy Son's retainer."
"Ardent Sun Holy Son, Lia Wudi, is a peerless genius in the world. He is indeed not bad, but he is still not as good as Ardent Sun Holy Son."
While Qu Tenghai was saying these words, Ye Xiao clearly noticed that for the first time, his eyes did not look at the casino. Deep in his eyes, there was a strong sense of admiration, which surprised Ye Xiao.
"Lia Wudi?"
His name was domineering!
Just this name alone made Ye Xiao's heart tremble.
To dare use such a name, and to make Qu Tenghai, a true gambler, reveal such an appearance, it was obvious that this so-called Ardent Sun Holy Son really had some true ability.
After being in Abandoned Land for so long, Ye Xiao had also absorbed many memory fragments of powerful experts, and he had also found a reason.
Race discrimination!
Perhaps it was because of the totem, everyone's inner faith was pure and lofty, and they all regarded the gods they believed in as the number one. Generally speaking, they looked down on other races.
But now, from Qu Tenghai's eyes, Ye Xiao could clearly see a trace of respect, and his heart shivered.
Lia Wudi actually used strength and his own charm to break the barrier between the other races?
Impressive!
Even though Ye Xiao had never seen Lia Wudi before, he could still tell from Qu Tenghai's tone that Qu Tenghai respected him.
As for the fairness that Qu Tenghai mentioned...
At first, Ye Xiao didn't think much of it, but when he heard his explanation, he suddenly understood.
He had to admit that this could be considered a kind of fairness. Although it was not absolute fairness, how could there be absolute fairness in this complicated world?
Strength was the way of the king!
Whether it was the Abandoned Land or the God Bless Continent, it was the same.
However, Ye Xiao still couldn't understand the title of "Son," so he asked directly. Qu Tenghai raised his eyebrows and said in a relaxed tone.
"It will happen sooner or later."
"Indeed, Lia Wudi has yet to enter the fifth floor and obtain the recognition of the Sacred Stone. However, in the entire Ardent Sun Clan, if he can't obtain the recognition of the Sacred Stone, I'm afraid no one will be able to do it."
Qu Tenghai said it casually and naturally. Furthermore, as an outsider, he was actually able to say such words. To be honest, it really shocked Ye Xiao, and endless curiosity welled up in his heart towards Lia Wudi.
What kind of person could make a genius from another race admire him so much?
"What kind of powerful battle record did he have?"
Ye Xiao continued to ask. Qu Tenghai raised his eyebrows and showed a trace of impatience on his face. He waved his hand.
"Of course he did, but there are too many things that I can't explain to you for a while. If you want to hear it, you can wait here for a while. I will explain it to you after I am done with my work. "
Qu Tenghai said as he looked in the direction of the casino surrounded by a group of people. From time to time, he would glance at the arena from the corner of his eye. Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows. Realizing that the battle on the arena was about to end, Qu Tenghai finally found an opportunity to place his bet. He could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and wait for him to come back to ask about it.
Right at this moment, suddenly -
"Hu!"
A fiery red figure leapt out from the arena and stood at the end of the arena. Just like the people of Ardent Sun Clan, he was also wearing a blood-red armor. He looked at Lia Jun who was standing on the arena, and a trace of respect flashed through his eyes as he cupped his hands and bowed.
"Greetings, Lord Commander. According to the rules set by the Saint, fifteen minutes is almost up. It's the other participants' turn to receive the challenges when the time comes for the commander to step down from the combat arena."
Swoosh.
This scene instantly caused a commotion in the crowd, but Ye Xiao noticed that everyone's expressions were still normal, as if they weren't surprised by this scene.
To Lia Jun, there was still a time limit in this arena?
Weapon Training?
In an instant, Ye Xiao suddenly understood the reason why the Ardent Sun Clan had built this square arena.
It was to train soldiers!
They used the spiritual herbs and treasures underneath the Tiger Slope as bait to attract the attention of the various families. They were going to conduct a friendly spar with the Challenge Competition. In this way, it would bring about the effect of training weapons, even if they lost. They would only lose one spiritual herb in the Tiger Slope, and it wouldn't be a big loss to them.
"What a good plan."
Ye Xiao praised in his heart. He didn't comment on what the Ardent Sun Clan had done. In fact, if he had the ability, he would have done the same.
Who wouldn't want the free benefits?
"We're here?"
On the stage, Lia Jun frowned and a trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes. He slowly stood up from the ground and his movements were slow. His gaze swept across the people below the stage and his disappointment became even stronger. He couldn't help but sigh and say:
"Sigh, it's really boring."
"After waiting for half a day, there was only one person who challenged me, and it was even a trash..."
The fighting spirit in Lia Jun's eyes was boiling, and he refused to extinguish it. Obviously, he was unwilling to walk down from the arena. However, because of Lia Wudi's order, he had no choice but to follow, and his footsteps were extremely heavy. His movements were extremely slow. He extended his five fingers towards the giant blade that was stuck in the ground. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up. Excited, he faced the crowd and roared in a low voice:
"Come!"
"Who dares to come up and fight me?"
"I won't bully you guys, and you guys don't need to defeat me. As long as you guys can withstand three moves from me, even if you guys succeed in clearing the challenge, can you take any spiritual herb? What do you think?"
Below the stage, everyone's spirits were shaken, and they all looked at Lia Jun in surprise. Even Ye Xiao was attracted by this sudden turn of events.
If you can withstand three moves, you can choose any spiritual herb you want?
Ye Xiao caught a glimpse of Hua Yi'er beside him from the corner of his eye. Her big black eyes were shining. Obviously, the girl was tempted. His heart trembled slightly and he seemed to be thinking about something.1
However, at this moment, before the people below the ring could react, the Ardent Sun Clan warrior who was waiting for Lia Jun to come down and fight was shocked. He hurriedly stopped him.
"Commander, wait!"
"This doesn't conform to the rules set by the Son. If Lord Holy Son finds out..."
Before he could finish, Lia Jun's eyes widened. His fighting spirit surged like a tide, and he immediately suppressed the former to the point of being unable to speak. However, it was obvious that he didn't want to bear the responsibility of disobeying the orders. His blood-red eyes rolled around as he said coldly.
"Who said I am going to defy orders?"
"Although this does not conform to Lord Holy Son's rules, but... I can use my own military merits to exchange for it. This should be fine, right?"
"This..."
This time, it was the Ardent Sun Clan's soldier's turn to be speechless. It could only let out a long sigh and bow.
"Alright then."
"But Lord Commander, you only have ten breaths of time. If it were ten breaths of time..."
Lia Jun's eyes widened and he immediately became anxious. He faced the crowd and growled.
"Ten breaths!"
"Hurry up and give me one, let me have a quick death!"
"Resist three moves, one spiritual herb, six moves, two stalks! If you can harm me, then take three stalks!"
Three stalks!
Lia Jun raised the stakes again!
Ye Xiao was still hesitating, but when he heard Lia Jun raise the reward to three stalks, a bright light immediately burst out from the depths of his eyes.
