Chapter 247: The son of King Chu
Li Hong had been feeling upset for the past few days.
After being tricked by Yi Yun who was a first year rookie, his reputation in the Tai Ah Divine City was ruined. How could he feel happy?
He was a big brother figure in the Tai Ah Divine City, and in the capital, he was the famous Young master Hong. The most important thing to him was his face.
Now, his face had been tainted by others.
How could Li Hong feel any comfort? Once a warrior’s mind was at an unease, their body’s Yuan Qi would also turn chaotic like their mind. So, it was easy to become stuck in their cultivation.
Li Hong was at the critical moment of breaking through to the Yuan foundation realm, but when this happened, he felt as gross as eating sh*t.
Li Hong kept thinking of ways to save the situation. However, Yi Yun’s strength was rising rapidly. Although Li Hong was conceited, he still had to admit that in about half a year’s time, he would not be able to beat Yi Yun anymore.
Once that happened, it would be even harder to save the situation!
He needed an opportunity to deal with Yi Yun, but…where could he find this opportunity?
As Li Hong was thinking, a disturbance erupted outside, “Brother Hong! Brother Hong! Something big has happened! That kid Yi Yun has challenged you, he wants to fight you in the arena tomorrow!”
A few henchmen were charging into Li Hong’s courtyard, like a pack of hungry dogs, as they cried out.
When Li Hong heard this, he was stunned.
“Yi Yun is challenging me?” Li Hong was slow to react.
He was just thinking of getting his revenge on Yi Yun to save his face, but now Yi Yun had taken the initiative to knock on his door?
However, this made him feel odd.
Is this kid mad?
Or was there another reason?
Li Hong’s face turned sullen. He had some misgivings about the way that Yi Yun challenged him.
Was it a trap?
“Boss, why are you…”
A few of Li Hong’s henchmen expected him to be fuming mad, laughing heartily when he received the news, cursing at Yi Yun’s stupidness and his desire to be beaten up.
They did not expect Li Hong to react in such a manner. It was neither anger nor happiness.
“Did you make a video disk array of Yi Yun’s match?” Li Hong suddenly asked. Although he did not want to be present to watch Yi Yun’s match, it was a must to watch the video disk array or he would not be able to understand Yi Yun’s strength.
“This…”
The henchmen smacked themselves in the forehead. They had forgotten about it and they were single-mindedly rushing here to inform Li Hong!
“We’ll go back and get it.” A few henchmen rushed back.
In the Tai Ah Divine City, there were many backups of the recordings of the arena’s matches. The more intense the battle, the more backups there were. They could be kept for many years, and so as long as one could pay a small amount of dragon scale runes, they could be rented for viewing.
Soon, these brats obtained a disk array and they rushed back to Li Hong’s courtyard breathlessly.
When they returned, they did not expect to see so many people in Li Hong’s courtyard. A large number of the people who were present were part of the backbone of the Hongdao Association. A few of them were also veteran cultivators in the Tai Ah Divine City.
“They…”
When the brats saw these people, they were shocked. They vaguely knew that Li Hong had a wide circle of friends and he had many powerful friends amongst the veteran cultivators.
They were all the people near the top of the Heaven and Earth roll of honors. There was even a person ranked in the top 50 and he was nicknamed “Hu Tou’.
“Oh? It’s him, right…?”
The brats saw this tall and thin teenager who looked 17-19 years old. This person had a necklace full of large beads on his neck, and his arm had a Fierce Divine Tiger tattooed on it.
Hu Tou was a veteran cultivator who had been in the Tai Ah Divine City for about four years. He had long broken through to the Yuan foundation realm. He still had a year and nine months left before he graduated. By ranking in the top 50 on the Earth roll, he was definitely one of the best amongst his class of cultivators.
“Let’s watch it and analyze it.” Li Hong was naturally suspicious. He erred on the side of caution by calling people over. Hu Tou, who had great foresight, might even be able to tell if Yi Yun had any hidden strength.
A few henchmen took the disk arrays of Yi Yun’s match, and left it on a table for a group of people to gather around it to study it.
Li Hong mainly wanted to obtain the opinions of veteran cultivators like Hu Tou. After analyzing it in all sorts of manner for a long time, they…could not figure anything out.
They could only make some general speculations from Yi Yun’s battle. But no matter how hard they looked at it, Yi Yun seemed to have went all out during his battle with Chu Xiaoran.
“Li Hong, I think that the possibility of Yi Yun having any more hidden strength is low. If he can still have hidden strength under such circumstanc
