66: Ji Xuantian issued a challenge, showing his confidence

The white-robed young man in the painting was graceful and imposing.

Innumerable female cultivators on the scene blushed subtly and their hearts fluttered.

Beside the painting of the handsome young man, a string of golden text shimmered with an ethereal divine light that other paintings lacked.

[Lin Sheng, nineteen years old, Golden Dragon Holy Son of Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land.]

[Remained unknown for over ten years, after becoming the new Holy Son, he suddenly achieved enlightenment. In just over a month, he advanced from Heaven Human across Heaven God, Divine King, Supreme, Honored King, directly reaching Great Emperor Sixth Level.]

[Leapt five major realms and one minor level!]

[His combat power is unparalleled in the world. At Supreme First Level, he counter-killed the Underworld River Old Ancestor at Supreme Sixth Level. At Great Emperor Sixth Level, he counter-killed the two brother Leopard Demons at Great Emperor Tenth Level.]

[Possesses the Demon God Holy Body and has clearly learned the first and second Demon God Orders.]

[Truly a peerless monster rarely seen in ten thousand years!]

"Wow!"

"Great Emperor Sixth Level!"

"The Golden Dragon Holy Son has actually reached Great Emperor Sixth Level!? Such rapid advancement speed, could he have been empowered by some great cultivator?"

"Do you lack common sense? Those who are empowered all have unstable foundations, any random battle could cause their realm to regress. This Holy Son fought against two Great Emperor Tenth Levels, is that something empowerment can achieve? Empowerment? What a joke."

"Hahaha! The first place is from our Cangxuan Continent! The Holy Son truly brings glory to our continent!"

"Demon God Holy Body, Demon God Order... if the Demon Pool Holy Mother is also behind the Golden Dragon Holy Son, wouldn't the Golden Dragon Holy Son be the orthodox successor of the Demon Clan?"

"Are you stupid? He's from the Human Clan, how could he..."

"The Demon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Year Demon Kingdom isn't from the Demon Clan either!"

"......"

【Narration: As the Golden Dragon Holy Son's realm caused a sensation throughout the venue, it also completely ignited the unwillingness in Ji Xuantian's heart.】

【He declared that he would challenge everyone on the list.】

【Tianji Restaurant does not allow private fights, but it does have a spatial arena for sparring, which is an independent small world on the stage.】

【Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ji Xuantian was the first to leap onto the arena stage.】

"Come on!"

Ji Xuantian shouted towards Ye Liuhuo and the others, "Fellow prodigies present, do you dare to accept the challenge from me, the tenth-ranked!"

"Those who dare to accept, jump onto the stage."

"Those who don't dare to accept, hereafter in front of me, tuck your tails between your legs!"

He shouted loudly with a face full of defiance.

On Tianyun Mountain.

Lin Sheng looked at Ji Xuantian's performance in the image and didn't feel anything was amiss.

This was originally a very arrogant sword dao genius, especially after his many victories fighting above his level in Southern Spirit, which made him look down on those of the same realm and age.

He was very arrogant and proud.

However, he wasn't without brains, because every time he earned others' respect with his strength, he would shed his arrogant facade and adopt a humble, gentle, polite, and refined appearance.

This sense of contrast was almost his unique secret technique.

In the original work, many characters, during their gradual interactions with him, transformed from initial dislike to acceptance, recognition, or even affection, drawn by his "charisma", and eventually willingly served him.

"Then I will turn your fake arrogance into true arrogance!"

In the image.

Ye Liuhuo and the other three were angered by Ji Xuantian's attitude.

Openly provoking them in a place like Tianji Restaurant meant that if they didn't dare to accept the challenge, everyone in the world would soon know that although their realms were high, they were afraid of being defeated by someone at Shenwang First Level and thus didn't dare to fight.

Although it wasn't a major issue on a grand scale.

It would more or less embarrass each person's family and the forces behind them.

Zhou Hao, ranked ninth, glanced at his older brothers and sisters beside him. Considering his cultivation was the lowest, he said, "This person's combat power is extremely strong. He fought above his level multiple times when he was in the Heaven God realm. Now that he has broken through to the Divine King realm, I wonder what his combat power is like."

"My cultivation is the lowest, I'll go up first and test his depth."

"If I lose, you must defeat him for me!"

Before anyone could reply, Zhou Hao leaped up and landed on the arena stage.

"I, Zhou Hao, accept your challenge!"

"Good!"

"But you challenged us without reason, you must add a stake!"

【Life Choice Triggered!】

In front of Lin Sheng, the choice was triggered.

【You challenged others without reason, it is reasonable for them to ask you to add a stake. After thinking for a moment, you decide to—】

【A: Whether to add a stake is up to me, no stake.】

【B: Arrogantly declare, tell the opponent to win first.】

【C: Use all external items on your body as stakes (including all clothes and the precious sword passed down by your master, Nanling Sword God).】

【D: Use the magic treasure obtained a few days ago as a stake.】

C!

Lin Sheng didn't believe that no more options would be triggered during the battle.

Once triggered, he could maximize Ji Xuantian's chances of failure.

On the arena stage.

Ji Xuantian immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

"When I challenged others before, they also asked me to add stakes, otherwise they weren't willing to be challenged by me for no reason."

"The higher the opponent's standing, the more stakes I add."

"Therefore, to show respect to you, I have decided..."

Ji Xuantian hesitated for a moment, but in order to show outsiders his determination not to lose, he boldly declared, "If I lose! All external items on my body will belong entirely to the victor!"

"All external items?"

"Yes! My storage ring, my precious sword, all my clothes... whoever among you wins, they can take everything!"

【Collapse Value +20】

"?"

Zhou Hao's eyes widened, his expression completely stunned.

On Tianji Square, the surrounding cultivators were all shocked by his words.

"To dare say such words! It shows how confident Ji Xuantian is in himself!"

"Ye Liuhuo, a Shenwang Tenth Level, is still present! Could it be that he is confident of victory even against Ye Liuhuo!?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if he really loses, won't we get to see him run naked?"

"I'm getting more and more excited, fight quickly, fight quickly!!"

Ye Liuhuo and the others frowned, their expressions solemn.

No one dared to underestimate Ji Xuantian on the stage anymore.

The battle quickly began.

【This is your first battle challenging the prodigies in front of Tianji Restaurant, you decide to—】

【A: Be cautious, defend for a while to observe the opponent's abilities before attacking.】

【B: Attack immediately, because you believe you have the strength to instantly defeat the opponent.】

【C: Fight according to your own habits, acting on impulse.】

【D: Heavily conceal your strength. The other prodigies are still watching below. For the sake of subsequent victory probability, it is best not to expose any of your techniques.】

D!

Zhou Hao was a Talisman Master, skilled in drawing talismans in the void and using talismans to fight.

Ji Xuantian, on the other hand, was clearly a Sword Cultivator.

At this moment, he held a seemingly plain black greatsword, dodging and weaving through Zhou Hao's sky-filling attacks of exploding talismans, venomous talismans, and lightning talismans, occasionally using his sword to cut down some talismans about to detonate.

Perhaps due to the strong confidence Ji Xuantian had just displayed.

Facing Zhou Hao, who went all out from the start, Ji Xuantian, who dared not use techniques in order to conceal his strength, instantly fell into a disadvantage.

Running and dodging without any ability to counter-attack, he appeared particularly pathetic!

'It's alright!'

Ji Xuantian encouraged himself in his heart: 'Although concealing my strength like this makes the fight very frustrating, it is a necessary sacrifice to prevent them from seeing through my techniques!'
