"Guidance?"
Looking at the Holy Child candidate in front of him, whose name he didn't know but who seemed so impatient, Li Yun couldn't help but chuckle.
Then he spoke frankly on the spot.
"I'm here to compete for the White Emperor City Saint Child position, not to give anyone guidance. Where would I find so much time to waste here with you?"
As soon as these words came out.
The other party's face instantly stiffened, turning as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant.
He couldn't help but roar, "Li Yun, you are too arrogant!"
Seriously, he was almost exploding with anger.
His words about letting Li Yun give him some guidance were just polite talk. Anyone present who heard it, who the hell couldn't tell?
By rights, Li Yun should have also been polite to him.
This way, no matter the outcome of today's battle, they wouldn't offend each other too severely at least.
But damn it, what was the meaning of this from Li Yun?
To be so blunt, and even say it was a waste of time, who the hell was he looking down on?
In front of so many people, he just made him unable to step down like this?
Let alone him.
Even the other Holy Child candidates on the side were stunned, their mouths twitching. They felt that Li Yun like this was truly incredible, practically a reckless youth.
Who talks like this on such an occasion?
However, no one expected.
This was merely the beginning.
Li Yun completely ignored the first Holy Child candidate who ran out, preparing to wear him down. He turned around directly and stepped into the exact center of the stage.
"I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to waste here with you. Be quick about it, all eight of you come at once!"
"If I win, I'm the Holy Child. If I lose, I'll step down myself and leave."
Holy crap!
With just this move.
The entire Hengtian Stage instantly erupted in an uproar.
Who could have imagined?
Who the hell could have imagined?
They originally thought a good show was about to begin, a battle of attrition where eight White Emperor City Peerless prodigies would target Li Yun, an outsider. Who could have imagined that Li Yun would be so bold, directly challenging all eight at once!
"Damn it, who does this Li Yun think he is? To look down on our White Emperor City Peerless prodigies like this, directly challenging eight at the start... this scoundrel!"
"Damn it, I've never seen such an arrogant person in my life. Today is the first time I've witnessed it."
"Detestable Li Yun, how dare he be so arrogant! If only I were qualified to go on stage, I would definitely be the first to strike and beat him to death, letting him know what it means to know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
For a time.
The spectators below the stage started cursing one after another.
In their eyes, Li Yun's action was an insult to the peak Peerless prodigies in their hearts.
Some, with intense emotions, even shouted from below the stage for Li Yun to be beaten to death.
The situation instantly became somewhat chaotic.
Of course, in a large forest there are all kinds of birds, and one type of rice can feed a hundred types of people.
Below the Hengtian Stage, there were one hundred thousand spectators.
Not everyone was so angry. There was also a small portion who didn't consider themselves supporters of those White Emperor City Peerless prodigies, yet they found Li Yun like this very exciting and heroic, and instead developed a considerable fondness for Li Yun.
Therefore, they even started speaking up and arguing back.
"That's how it is. Since it's a competition for the Holy Child position, they are rivals. Why say so many hypocritical pleasantries?"
"Just go at it directly!"
"One against eight, if he wins, he defeats everyone at once and becomes the Holy Child directly. If he loses, he leaves. There's nothing wrong with that at all. I don't understand why you're so angry."
"It's not like he insulted your father..."
"Shut up, what are you scoundrels saying here? Do you want to be internal traitors? You're actually speaking up for that madman Li Yun! Are you still people of White Emperor City?"
"Tch, what does this have to do with whether we are people of White Emperor City? The fact is just as it is. Are people not allowed to speak the truth? Moral blackmail!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The arguing below the stage was fierce.
On the stage, Zhang Fengshen and the others were filled with shame and anger.
Eight people, eight pairs of eyes, all staring at Li Yun, each pair glowing red, filled with killing intent.
"Li Yun, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. It seems you truly don't put us in your eyes at all."
"Hilarious, why would I put you in my eyes? You're not some great beauties. Cut the nonsense. One against eight, are we fighting or not?"
"No, you, Li Yun, don't have that much face to make all eight of us deal with just one of you at the same time!"
What a joke!
Zhang Fengshen actually felt in his heart that having eight people attack Li Yun together was more direct and certain than using a battle of attrition to wear him down.
But how could they make a move like this?
If they made this move, their reputation would be ruined.
A battle of attrition could still be justified as being according to the rules. But truly having eight people surround and attack one person in front of so many people, even if they won, it would be an unfair victory.
Moreover, they would be completely creating an opportunity for Li Yun to become famous.
Hmm, maybe this was Li Yun's plan all along.
Perhaps Li Yun himself knew that he might not be able to secure the Holy Child position here today, or perhaps he had also sensed the intentions of the Lord Crown Prince. Feeling depressed and unable to speak clearly, he simply gave up completely, using this emotional outburst-like challenge of one against eight to vent his dissatisfaction.
And incidentally, earn himself a reputation of glory even in defeat.
How could they possibly grant Li Yun's wish?
"Heh heh, since you've all come here, whether we fight or not is not up to you!"
Li Yun, however, laughed heartily. A powerful and peerless aura suddenly erupted from his body, and brilliant light soared into the sky, as if a constant sun had risen, illuminating all directions.
Along with the emergence of the Celestial Human aura, Li Yun's Heaven-Human Domain directly expanded, enveloping the entire stage.
Immediately, it enveloped all eight Holy Child candidates, including Zhang Fengshen, in the center.
Such a change immediately caused the faces of Zhang Fengshen and the other eight Holy Child candidates to change drastically. Out of instinct, they also activated their magic power one after another, blasting out their respective Heaven-Human Domains.
Using their respective Heaven-Human Domains to resist Li Yun's Heaven-Human Domain.
But in this way, the situation appeared very strange and also very awkward.
Li Yun was alone, his Heaven-Human Domain covering the entire stage. His aura was incomparably strong, as if a constant sun was suppressing all directions.
As for the eight Holy Child candidates led by Zhang Fengshen, each occupied a side. Their eight Heaven-Human Domains were all expanded, but being within Li Yun's Heaven-Human Domain, it was very obvious that they felt like they were being forced open with difficulty.
Even a discerning person could see that their Heaven-Human Domains, under the suppression of Li Yun's Heaven-Human Domain, simply couldn't expand completely.
It felt like struggling to hold up an umbrella in a storm.
All eight people were like this.
With just this move, the gap in strength between Li Yun and the eight Holy Child candidates led by Zhang Fengshen was simply exposed without any place to hide.
Isn't this obvious?
Can the rules mastered by the eight Holy Child candidates led by Zhang Fengshen, added together, still not withstand the rules of one person? It was practically like eight eggs attempting to withstand the crushing force of a boulder.
Utterly ridiculous.
