C96

Gao Yi, who was ranked second, had yet to speak.

Pow!

The student on the left slammed the table and stood up.

"Kong Huanyu, how arrogant. If you have the guts, come and challenge me first."

The angry teenager was called Zi Chen.

He was ranked third in the outer court.

The top ten students were all arrogant individuals. Kong Huanyu, who was ranked fourth, had directly surpassed him in his challenge to be ranked second.

This disregard instantly ignited his anger.

"You are not worthy!"

Kong Huanyu lightly spat out three words. At the same time that the students present were shocked, they were infuriated by Zi Chen.

"You …"

Zi Chen gritted his teeth and made 'ka ka ka' sounds. A student ranked lower than him actually dared to not give him face in this kind of situation.

"You what? I'm the one challenging Gao Yi, now sit down!"

Kong Huanyu was incomparably arrogant.

"Kong Huanyu, you dare to order me to sit?"

The cold glint in Zi Chen's eyes became even more obvious.

Strength represented one's identity.

Normally, Kong Huanyu, who was ranked fourth in strength, would bow down and kneel before Zi Chen, who was ranked third in terms of strength.

But not only did the current him not give Zi Chen any face, he even ordered him to sit down.

Orders were a form of humiliation to an expert.

"Right, I'll order you now. If you don't accept it, come down and challenge me!"

These words were even more explosive.

Kong Huanyu was truly lawless.

If a person wanted to challenge his opponent, it was because his opponent was strong that he used the word 'challenge'.

Before, he had arrogantly ordered Zi Chen to sit down, and now, he wanted Zi Chen to challenge him instead of him challenging Zi Chen.

Kong Huanyu's tone already showed that compared to Zi Chen, he, Kong Huanyu, was the strongest.

"Alright, everyone, give me a witness. This kid is looking for death, I'll give him a chance!"

"Kong Huanyu, remember what you said. If it doesn't happen, you won't dare to accept the challenge!"

Zi Chen was so angry that her face turned ashen. After gritting her teeth, she slowly sat down.

"Gao Yi, what are you waiting for? Quickly come up!"

Kong Huanyu impatiently waved at Zi Chen.

"Kong Huanyu, I truly do not know where your arrogance came from. Since you wish to spar with me, I shall do as you wish."

With a sneer, Gao Yi leaped into the arena.

"The competition ends just like that."

Guan Qi said indifferently as she threw the three charm characters in her hand into the air.

Swoosh!

A transparent energy barrier was formed.

As the two fought inside, the energy waves from their battle would not cause any damage to the luxurious mansion.

"Swordsmen do have the ability to be arrogant, but you need to know that what you're facing right now is me, Gao Yi."

"So what if you're a sword cultivator? I want to let you know that between the two of us, it's like a natural chasm. You will never be able to defeat me."

Seeing the sword in Kong Huanyu's hand, Gao Yi sneered, the steel axe in his hand chopping down towards Kong Huanyu.

As the steel axe slashed down, the sound of the axe blade and air grinding together exploded in the large open space in Hua Manor.

Upon hearing this explosive sound, the elders nodded their heads in approval.

"Gao Yi is indeed worthy of being the second ranked student. If an expert were to make a move, it would be hard to tell if he would make it or not."

"The son of talent indeed lives up to his reputation."

Air was an empty thing, it was impossible to use real energy to fight.

Gao Yi's understanding of martial skills had already reached a new level.

So what if it was empty? In the face of powerful martial arts techniques, fighting the weak with physical skills was incomparably easy.

Gao Yi's hands did not stop moving, as he chopped down with his huge axe, which seemed like it would destroy everything in its path.

The edge of Kong Huanyu's jade sword that was sneering shook, and a weak and mournful force shot out like a myriad of arrows towards Gao Yi's steel axe.

Puff

When the sword energy emerged …

The muffled sound of air exploding seemed to have been covered by a cloth, and the imposing manner from before was instantly gone.

Boom! *

The sword and the axe collided.

A string of dazzling starfire lit up the night sky in the Hua Manor.

The two of them then separated.

"No wonder he is so arrogant after grasping the sword's aura."

Without a single move, he had severely wounded Kong Huanyu, and Gao Yi had put away his contempt.

However, it was only contempt. Kong Huanyu was still unable to defeat him.

With a swipe of his feet, he instantly conjured the afterimages beneath him to launch a series of dazzling attacks at Kong Huanyu.

Boom! * Boom! * Boom! * Boom! *

The dull sound of battle resounded in the energy circle that was less than ten meters in diameter.

The crowd at the banquet could no longer see the path of their fight.

He only felt two strings of afterimages interweaving with each other.

Sounds of explosions and silence were emitted from time to time as the two afterimages exchanged blows.

Amongst the observers, the one who was the most shocked was madly flying when he just entered the 9th level of the Martial realm.

He was the weakest of the outer court's elites.

Originally, he thought after reaching the 9th level of the Martial realm, as long as he worked hard, he would be able to break through to the 1st level of the Martial realm.

At that time, the number one ranked Jian Xingwen would have no choice but to give up his spot.

But here today, he saw a scene of despair.

Even with their heaven-defying strength, the two of them still remained in the 9th level of the Martial Dao Realm. It could be seen how difficult it was to break into the Martial realm.

Just when he was stunned.

Boom boom!

Two sky-shattering flames exploded in the energy circle!

Both of them released their martial souls!

After that, a human figure flew through the energy circle like a kite with its string cut, and landed on the ground.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Upon seeing the person on the ground, he sucked in a breath of cold air.

Kong Huanyu, who was ranked fourth, had actually defeated Gao Yi, who was already very famous, and was ranked second in the outer court.

"Ten moves!"

Defeating Gao Yi in ten moves, Kong Huanyu had a complacent expression on his face.

"I admit defeat!"

Gao Yi stood up and bowed deeply to Kong Huanyu before returning to his seat.

Although Gao Yiyi appeared calm on the surface, his legs that were sitting on the chair were still trembling slightly. The shock in his heart was something that couldn't be concealed.

"Zi Chen, do you still want to challenge me?"

Kong Huanyu's eyes slanted to the side as he looked at the dumbstruck Zi Chen who was sitting on the seat.

"No …" "No need!"

Zi Chen stuttered.

He had witnessed Gao Yi's strength before.

To be able to defeat someone ranked higher than him, he naturally had nothing to say.

"It's time to change this ranking!"

Kong Huanyu had his hands behind his back, looking extremely arrogant.

"Earlier, when you were ranked fourth in the outer court, it was really too unfair to you."

"That's right, Kong Huanyu, you are definitely second place."

Instantly, someone flattered him.

"NO!" Your rankings are wrong! "

Kong Huanyu shook his head when he heard the flattery of the crowd.

"I, Kong Huanyu, am currently ranked first in the outer court."

Under the crowd's gaze, he slowly spat out.

Kong Huanyu's arrogant words instantly silenced the entire audience.

It almost caused the air to congeal.

Kong Huanyu actually wanted to be number one!

No one had ever dared to question Jian Xingwen's first rank, much less challenge it.

And today, Kong Huanyu had actually spoken.

The moment the words left his mouth, a cold light flashed across Zhan Xingwen's eyes.
