Chapter 220: Throwing in the Towel
The Hongdao Association’s thirteen-year-old youths were all gathered together. They were analyzing Yi Yun’s moves and weaknesses. Finally, they decided on a battle strategy.
When a swordsman reaches the point of being one with the sword, he had a weakness. Once he loses the sword in his hand, his battle power would be greatly reduced. According to this reasoning, these youths believed Yi Yun was the same. As long as he lost the brick in his hand, his battle power would drop!
As a result, their battle strategy was to first control the brick in Yi Yun’s hand, then find an opportunity to hurt Yi Yun seriously. It was not impossible to win.
As the youths began to analyze with well-reasoned logic, a cold voice shouted out, “All of you shut up!”
When this voice shouted out, the group of youths jumped in shock. Who was so arrogant to get them to shut up?
But when they turned their heads to see who it was, they immediately turned silent.
The person who shouted at them was the Hongdao Association’s President, Li Hong!
Li Hong had a very livid expression on his face. His eyes were fierce, as if he was a beast that was going to pounce and devour a person.
In the Hongdao Association, Li Hong had extreme authority. When faced with a furious Li Hong, the other youths kept quiet out of fear.
“A bunch of idiots. You still f**king dare to be stupid in front of me!?”
Li Hong ferociously said. The youths that were previously speaking were stunned. They were still oblivious to the situation.
Upon seeing the youths’ expressions, Li Hong’s lips twitched. He wished he could throw these bunch of retards down the Tai Ah Divine City’s cliffs. He felt that, after he formed the Hongdao Association, he had gathered a bunch of idiots and that he had always been commanding a pile of trash.
These kids when compared to Yi Yun… It was like the difference between jade and shit!
But then again, most twelve to thirteen year old kids were usually immature in their thinking. They would occasionally make a naive mistake and say something childish. That was also very normal.
But Yi Yun was different!
His mind was not like a kid’s at all!
Yi Yun had been challenged by a great number of people over the past few days. Yet, he was nonchalant about it. He carried on eating and sleeping, not putting it at heart.
Instead, he even taunted many people. He ridiculed and challenged others. These behaviors made him seem to have adolescent delusions, but the result was that the youths, ridiculed by Yi Yun, turned hot-headed and raised the stakes higher.
This resulted in Yi Yun completely taking advantage of them.
That included the Four Bully Lords.
Initially, Li Hong felt something amiss. Yi Yun always looked like he was in an adolescent delusion, but if that was so, how did he pick a primordial herb?
It seemed far-fetched to explain it away with luck.
Originally, Li Hong was cautious, but he still got tricked by Yi Yun.
The main reason was that Yi Yun was too sinister. Under normal circumstances, a kid from the Cloud Wilderness should not have much worldly experiences, and would not have such great power.
And, it was because of this that Li Hong allowed his men to bet with Yi Yun, resulting in the bets being pushed even higher.
Now, even his Hongdao Association had opened a betting pool. And Yi Yun had brought 5000 dragon scale runes with him to bet on himself in this betting pool, betting that he could complete more than 20 battles!
Once he thought of this bet, Li Hong felt breathless. He really felt his heart, liver and balls ache. Even his intestines seemed to twist together!
5000 dragon scale runes, with a 1:10 payout meant that the Hongdao Association would lose 45,000 dragon scale runes!
This practically was sapping him of his life!
To hope that those recruits who lacked both strength and brains could flip the tables, he might as well hope for pigs to fly.
Li Hong was not naive enough to believe that Yi Yun had learned some “Brick mystic technique” that made him that strong.
Yi Yun still had not used his saber, which meant that the opponents he faced did not have the qualification to make him draw his saber!
To Yi Yun, a brick was more than enough to take care of these imbeciles.
None of the Hongdao Association’s rookies were Yi Yun’s match. They couldn’t even exhaust him!
These 45,000 dragon scale runes were definitely lost!
Li Hong could feel his heart bleeding.
Earning dragon scale runes and resources, and supporting such a large association was not easy! Li Hong’s strength and talent were not the best. Although Li Hong had managed to obtain brilliant results in one year, he still failed to enter the Heaven or Earth rolls of honor.
It was not easy for him to earn dragon scale runes!
Li Hong clenched his fists. Separated by the stages, he looked at the linen-clothed Yi Yun that was nearly a hundred meters away.
Yi Yun had already placed the brick on the table and begun meditat
