Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 218 Accepting the Challenge

Shen Yun looked stern, staring straight at Li Wuchang, and said word by word: "Let's not talk about the matter between me and Ruyi. It's not your turn to intervene." After that, he paused, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and then said: "I would like to ask, what if you lose?"

When Li Wuchang heard this, he seemed to have heard something extremely absurd. The corners of his mouth curled up in a disdainful smile, and then he said arrogantly: "Hmph, what a joke, will I lose? How could I lose?" He straightened his back, as if he had absolute confidence and certainty. He looked like he was sure of victory and did not take Shen Yun's words seriously at all.

After hearing what Li Wuchang said, Shen Yun laughed again, his laughter full of sarcasm. The disdain on his face was revealed without any disguise, as if he didn't care about the other party's reaction at all.

When Li Wuchang saw this expression, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited. He had always looked at others with such contempt. When was it his turn to be treated like this? Especially the man in front of him, who dared to look at him with such presumptuous eyes, which greatly challenged his self-esteem. Besides, when it comes to not being able to afford it, how could he, Li Wuchang, not be able to afford it? Over the years, he had the support of that powerful Jindan master, and there were countless people who wanted to curry favor with Lin Biyun through him. However, there were only a few people who could see Lin Biyun directly, and most people could only use him as a middleman to make connections. It was also because of this that he had reaped a lot of benefits over the years, and was like a fish in water in the interweaving of various interests.

Thinking of these past "glorious achievements", Li Wuchang's self-confidence once again burned like a flame. He straightened his back, raised his chin, and asked with a hint of provocation: "What do you want? Spirit Stone? Second-level spiritual weapon? Just ask."

Shen Yun looked at Li Wuchang expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone: "I don't lack these things. If you lose, just quit Biyun Peak and leave the Royal Academy."

When Li Wuchang heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help cursing in his heart. He didn't expect that the man in front of him would be so cruel. Proposing such a condition was simply to cut off all his escape routes and force him into a desperate situation.

He stared at Shen Yun in front of him, the murderous intent in his heart surged out like a tide, and he could no longer hide it. His eyes became extremely sinister, as if he wanted to eat Shen Yun alive.

In Li Wuchang's opinion, even if he couldn't kill Shen Yun on the spot in the upcoming competition, he must make him completely disabled. As for what kind of consequences would be caused by crippling the opponent, he couldn't care less at the moment.

He was not worried about angering some people because the man in front of him was only at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had never seen him before and was probably just a new disciple of an elder. Compared with himself, the eldest disciple of a peak, there was a huge difference. Afterwards, it would be nothing more than paying some spiritual stones to solve the problem. It was no big deal.

At this moment, Li Wuchang's heart was already filled with anger and cruelty, and he was just waiting to give Shen Yun a fatal blow in the competition. The people around him seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere, and they all stepped back unconsciously, fearing that they would be caught in the storm that was about to erupt.

"Okay, I agree to your terms." Li Wuchang replied, "But swords are silent and are bound to be damaged. So before the competition begins, you and I need to sign a non-liability challenge letter. If there is any damage during the competition, we will bear all the consequences ourselves. As for the witnesses, the brothers present will serve as witnesses."

Shen Yun naturally had no objection to this. He was just considering what excuse he could use to teach Li Wuchang a lesson, and just as he was dozing off, someone brought him a pillow.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Shen Yun and Li Wuchang signed their names on the contract with serious expressions, which meant that this highly anticipated competition officially kicked off.

There were many disciples in Biyun Peak, and the news that the eldest brother Li Wuchang was going to compete with a young disciple spread quickly throughout Biyun Peak. Soon, many disciples rushed to the martial arts arena with curiosity and excitement.

On the martial arts stage, Shen Yun and Li Wuchang stood opposite each other, but they did not start fighting immediately. Li Wuchang narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting patiently for more disciples to arrive. He wanted to completely discredit Shen Yun in front of everyone and make him pay for his arrogance.

As time went by, more and more disciples rushed here after receiving the news, which triggered waves of heated discussions under the martial arts arena.

"Who do you think will win this time?" a disciple asked curiously.

"Do I even need to ask? Of course it's the eldest senior brother. The eldest senior brother has reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. With this powerful cultivation, if he were placed in some remote cities and counties, he would definitely be like the ancestor of a clan." Another disciple answered with certainty.

"Oh, what a pity! We don't even know the name of the young man who challenges Senior Brother. He is so handsome." A female disciple said like an infatuated fan.

"Tsk, you dead nymphomaniac, just get out of here right now. With your ugly pig-headed appearance, do you think anyone can be interested in you?" A disciple next to him mocked mercilessly.

"You are looking for death..." The female disciple's eyes widened in anger, and a quarrel was about to break out. However, the two people on the stage continued to face each other quietly, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with them, and they were just waiting for the arrival of the final showdown.

Shen Rou also arrived with the other disciples. When she saw Shen Yun and Li Wuchang confronting each other on the stage, she was filled with surprise. She really couldn't understand why Shen Yun suddenly had a conflict with the eldest senior brother.

She walked quickly to Lin Ruyi's side and asked her briefly about what happened. As Lin Ruyi told her story, Shen Rou gradually understood the whole story, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on her face.

She didn't feel too worried about the upcoming battle that Shen Yun was about to face, because Shen Yun had already fully demonstrated his extraordinary strength through actual combat over a long period of time, and he always showed amazing abilities and tenacious fighting spirit in various difficult battles.

But what surprised Shen Rou even more was, when did Shen Yun hook up with Lin Ruyi? They had always been acting together, so how could this happen suddenly? Countless questions and curiosity surged in her mind, and her eyes moved back and forth between Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi, trying to find some clues from their expressions and actions.
