Chapter 17  : I’ll Kindly Accept These

“Since our young friend Li Yu called for anything below the Nascent Soul realm. I didn’t violate the rules!” Elder Jia said indignantly.

“I think you might as well do it yourself!” Elder Hu continued to criticize.

However, no one from the surrounding clans cared.

After all, after each family took out their stakes and sent out their representatives, Li Yu still had to choose who to bet with.

According to their speculations, if Li Yu wanted to use the Heaven Spirit Pills to obtain more items, he would definitely choose to spar with the person with the lowest cultivation level first.

If he sent out someone with especially high cultivation, it might not be his turn to compete with Li Yu when someone else would have already defeated Li Yu.

Of course, besides the cultivation factor, whether the stakes every family pledged could move Li Yu was the key.

“Humph, why should you care? Our Little Friend Li Yu didn’t say anything!” Elder Jia said with a cold face.

“It’s fine!” Li Yu said nonchalantly. His calm expression managed to puzzle everyone.

Is this kid really capable? Or is he bluffing?

“It’s these people, right?” Li Yu looked at the 11 people in front of him, and they could indeed be considered the elites of the various powers.

At that moment, the people from the various powers were the most nervous.

They all hoped that Li Yu could choose the representatives from their side to spar with.

Li Yu only had one Heavenly Spirit Pill. The first to go would have the highest chance of obtaining one.

After all, in their opinion, they had absolute confidence that the person they sent out would win.

“Your Highness, please be the witness!” Li Yu looked at Murong Xingqiao.

“Oh, alright!” Murong Xingqiao was a bit surprised to be suddenly named, but she still nodded in agreement.

She was frankly nervous for Li Yu now.

If he really did not have the ability, and he did that for attention, it would disappoint her greatly.

When they saw Li Yu look over, the eyes of Zhu Feng, Jing Fan, Luo Guxuan, Zheng Yuheng, and the others were fired up and provocative, and they hoped that Li Yu would choose them.

However, Li Yu believed that only children make choices.

“For the sake of fairness, all of you can attack together. The Heavenly Spirit Pill belongs to whoever defeats me first!” Li Yu said with a big smile.

“Huh?”

Everyone blew up again.

You call this fair?

v11!

Madness. This kid is way too arrogant.

He was simply looking down on this group of challengers.

Murong Xingqiao tightly furrowed her brows, but there was a trace of anticipation in her heart.

Perhaps this guy does have the capability? Otherwise, where did his confidence come from?

“Hmph, you must be out of your mind!” Lin Chen scoffed.

Yi Caidie’s eyes brightened as she stared at Li Yu.

For some reason, she was actually looking forward to seeing Li Yu turn out victorious.

When they heard Li Yu’s words, Zhu Feng, Jing Fan, Luo Guxuan, Zheng Yuheng, and the others were even more furious and bloodthirsty.

“Kid, aren’t you being too condescending?”

“Li Yu, you’ve done a good job. You’ve successfully infuriated me!”

“I was thinking about pulling my punches. Since you don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, I’ll educate you properly on behalf of your father!”

“Hmph, how egoistic. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony!”

Everyone vented their dissatisfaction, but their bodies rushed towards Li Yu.

In their opinion, Li Yu stood no chance against them, and the first to defeat him would be the victor.

Swish swish swish…

Eleven figures charged towards Li Yu together at the same time, while a powerful pressure condensed from their tremendous auras. Even early-stage Nascent Soul realm experts would feel fear and apprehension in such a situation.

Nonetheless, Li Yu’s expression remained calm from the beginning to the end.

“Take this!” Zheng Yuheng was the fastest to arrive in front of Li Yu.

The sword slashed down with the power of lightning. Sword Qi rampaged as if it could shred everything.

However, when his sword slashed past Li Yu, Li Yu’s body faded into an illusory shadow that disappeared.

At the same time, Zheng Yuheng felt an extremely terrifying aura assault his face, causing his hair to stand on end.

Before he could react, an impactful blow landed on his chest.

Thud!

Zheng Yuheng was sent flying like a cannonball. He was so quick that the person who followed closely behind could not dodge in time. The two of them flew off stacked together.

Lin Chen and the others did not slow down at all.

Everything happened too quickly and too suddenly.

Lin Chen and the others had yet to react when they saw that they were about to be hit. Their expressions changed drastically from the fright.

It was not until Elder Hu acted just in time and blocked the two human-shaped missiles.

At the same time…

Thud! Bang! Boom! Slap! Kacha!

Li Yu’s figure seemed to only flicker on the spot while the challengers who rushed up flew in all directions.

In the end, some were embedded in the walls, some were hanging from trees, some were stuck underground, and some crashed through the walls and into the house.

The temple that Zhou Erlang and the others had painstakingly repaired was once again demolished.

In an instant, only Li Yu remained on the spot. His aura was calm while his expression remained the same.

Then, he cupped his hands at the few people in the surroundings who were in a sorry state and couldn’t get up. “Thank you for letting me win!”

Silence…

The entire scene was deathly silent, and everyone looked at Li Yu as if they were looking at a monster.

Some even forgot to breathe!

There were eleven Golden Core, middle, and late-stage Golden Core experts and even a peak Golden Core expert.

And they could not even combine to compare with Li Yu.

They did not even touch Li Yu’s hair before they were sent flying off to the ground and could not get up.

What sort of terrifying power was this? What sort of freakish strength was this?

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe it.

The seventeen-year-old Li Yu already possessed such monstrous capability.

It was simply too terrifying!

“Is this kid even human?”

“Did he eat the meat of the divine bird and obtain its power?”

“But no matter what, he’s ridiculously strong!”

“He has at least stepped into the Martial Dao Transcendence realm. A seventeen-year-old in the Transcendence realm? Heavens, that’s too sick!”

“No wonder he was so arrogant just now. He said that he could fight anyone under the Nascent Soul realm and Transcendent realm. It turns out that he’s in the Transcendent realm himself. Everyone was tricked by him!”

“It’s a good thing that Elder did not let me go just now! That punch hurt just looking at it! I wonder how many of Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng’s ribs are broken!”

The disciples from the two sects looked at Li Yu with apprehension.

They knew very well that if Li Yu could defeat all eleven of them effortlessly, he should at least be at the early stage of the Transcendent realm. At the same time, he cultivated a body tempering cultivation technique so terrifying that it gave him an extremely monstrous strength and speed.

The combat strength of such a person was probably invincible among the same cultivation realm. Only old fellows like Elder Hu and Elder Jia could probably compare with Li Yu among everyone present.

It was no wonder that the Heavenly Dao Rankings would bestow him an additional reward.

He could crush everyone on the rankings with his ability.

Lin Chen’s lips twitched, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

He had seen monsters but never a freak like Li Yu.

He had just been calling Li Yu a frog in the well.

In the end, the clown was actually himself.

Lin Chen could not even bring himself to be jealous anymore.

Who could compare with a seventeen-year-old Transcendent?

At the moment, Elder Hu, Elder Jia, Shenqiu Ming, Yi Wanxiong, Murong Taisheng, and Murong Zhengnan were also dumbfounded.

However, when they returned to their senses, they suddenly felt that they seemed to have been tricked by the kid, Li Yu.

“Haha, I won. I’ll kindly accept your bets!” Li Yu was absolutely thrilled. He did not even leave his place to profit greatly. He had earned himself a fortune!
