I'm also desperate.

Chapter 697 A Genius's Challenge

Chapter 183 Jun Shao

That was a child of seven or eight years old, with bright eyes, seemingly curious about everything, and looking at himself with great interest.

His hands were gesturing, as if imitating someone's boxing techniques, but it was just form without any boxing wind, and didn't seem to have any internal force.

"Who is he..."

Fang Yue glanced suspiciously at the Qing Si personnel responsible for maintaining order not far away.

Just then, Dou Hongyi saw it and hurried over, scolded the child named Jun Shao and took him away.

Dou Hongyi was a little resentful. He didn't know how the people below maintained order, even letting a child in. He made a fool of himself in front of Lord Ye.

But that kid, wasn't he the one who was reported to have been caught and interrogated after something happened on the city wall...

Dou Hongyi was busy maintaining the order of the Wujue, but it didn't mean that he didn't hear about the affairs of the Qing Si.

The incident had already spread to the top levels of the three major organizations.

Dou Hongyi naturally knew about the interrogation of Jun Shao, but he didn't participate in the interrogation, he just learned the result directly.

He didn't think much about it just now, but now he vaguely felt something was wrong.

But when Dou Hongyi subconsciously looked in the direction where Jun Shao left, he saw that the other party had disappeared into the crowd without a trace.

"Forget it, I'll find someone to investigate later."

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Dou Hongyi said, "Ye... Ye Keqing, you can continue the competition."

Fang Yue nodded slightly to him.

Fang Yue had instructed that the two of them should avoid interacting with each other as much as possible when outside, and this Dou Hongyi did a good job of following that.

He just didn't know if the other party knew that he had been played by him, would he be furious and want to kill him.

Thinking about that scene, it was still a bit troublesome.

Dou Hongyi's strength was only at the middle stage of the Ren level. Even if he was stronger, he was no match for Fang Yue.

The problem was his identity as a Qing Si Hongyi, and Fang Yue really couldn't bring himself to go too hard on him.

"When soldiers come, we'll block them with generals, and when water comes, we'll dam it with earth. Dou Hongyi can't possibly kill someone in the street in front of so many people, right?"

Suppressing his thoughts, Fang Yue continued to wait for challengers.

Sure enough, without the pressure from the merchant group, many people wanted to compete with Fang Yue.

However, before long, Fang Yue's side had an operation similar to a factory assembly line.

As soon as the challengers jumped up, they were pushed off the stage by Fang Yue's skillful palm technique.

Then the next batch of challengers saw this and immediately jumped up, but the result was exactly the same.

The whole scene, except for the challengers in the middle who were stunned to see their 'predecessors' being defeated so neatly and delaying time, was smooth and flowing at other times.

Seeing the challengers falling to the ground like dumplings in a pot, standing next to them with depressed expressions, those who had not yet challenged completely gave up the idea and turned to others.

Fang Yue once again ushered in a relaxing rest time. At this time, he felt a scorching gaze staring at him.

It was the Xiantian realm genius, the boy named Ying.

"You want to challenge me that much?"

Fang Yue was a little depressed. Being missed by a man felt weird.

At this moment, the bell representing the end of the preliminary round rang with a dong.

Fang Yue looked towards the direction of the 'masters' watching the show on the stage, but saw that there were fewer people on it.

Even the most important leader of the Tian Shang Alliance, Tian Wangchuan, was not present.

Feeling a little puzzled, when the people from the Tian Shang Alliance announced the results of the preliminary round, Fang Yue went down the stage, preparing to have Yang Hongxia send someone to find out if something major had happened in other parts of Chu Nuan City.

Logically speaking, the [Wujue] was the most important thing in Chu Nuan City. If Tian Wangchuan could put down the Wujue to deal with other matters, then the matter was probably very important and very serious, and he had to get information.

However, as soon as Fang Yue left the stage, he was stopped.

"Sir, would you be willing to fight me in private!"

The one who stopped Fang Yue was the genius boy named Ying.

But... this guy is only at the Xiantian realm, yet he dares to challenge me, a Ren level expert. Isn't that too arrogant and conceited?

Fang Yue frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

Even he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in the Xiantian realm as to think he could fight Ren level experts across several realms.

If this were outside, a Ren level expert would crush a Xiantian realm martial artist as easily as crushing an ant.

"No time."

Accompanied by the cold words, Fang Yue brushed past him.

Ying was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to catch up with Fang Yue to seek a battle, he saw that Fang Yue's direction of departure left a trail of frost all the way, and a faint layer of ice had condensed on the ground!

And his own feet, unknowingly, had been completely frozen, unable to move due to the ice.

"So strong?!"

His pupils contracted, and Ying felt a tremor.

This was the strength of the Ren level realm...

I'm far from enough!

If I want to avenge the bloody feud, I must reach the Ren level, or even surpass the Ren level realm!

Clenching his fists, Ying gritted his teeth and watched Fang Yue's departing back, silently.

After the frost melted a bit under the hot sun, he shattered the remaining ice with his internal force.

Now that he knew the gap between himself and a Ren level expert, he didn't plan to challenge anyone else. He returned to his own merchant group and began to cultivate wholeheartedly.

On the other side, Fang Yue had already returned to Yang Hongxia's side, and didn't take Ying's matter to heart at all.

A genius boy was still just a genius boy, but who wasn't a genius?

Fang Yue had risen from a mortal to the Ren level realm in just about two months. It was self-evident who was more of a genius.

Comparing yourself to me in terms of genius? Please step aside!

Not to mention that Fang Yue's comprehension was now skyrocketing, more genius than a genius!

"Lord Ye!" Yang Hongxia came up excitedly, wanting to reach out and take Fang Yue's arm, but Fang Yue subconsciously avoided it. Her hand hung in the air for half a second, and she awkwardly retracted it, but her emotions were still very excited.

"Lord Ye, we passed the preliminary round! Next, we'll be fighting the real ranking matches with those top 100 merchant groups!"

Yang Hongxia waved her small fist excitedly. The day of the Great Yang Merchant Group's revival seemed to be right in front of her!

"When does the fight start?" Fang Yue asked.

"We have to wait for the notification. Usually, they are conducted continuously, which means that it may start later!" On a normal day, Yang Hongxia might have wondered why Fang Yue asked such a question, analyzing it in a roundabout way, trying to figure out Fang Yue's thoughts.

But at this moment, overwhelmed by excited emotions, she was simply straightforward, without any ulterior motives.

"In other words, we might be fighting until night?" Fang Yue asked with a strange expression.

If the competition dragged on until night... then his advantage would be great.

The night rain above his head was still dripping, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but the rain seemed to have intensified a lot after the arena match, faintly about to form a continuous [Small Rain].

Before, the black halo had been raining [Night Rain] intermittently. If the [Night Rain] became continuous, then his health would be dropping drastically. The speed at which he consumed medicine would no longer be a few bottles a day, but like a medicine jar, he would have to drink a bottle every so often.

Not only was the operation troublesome, but it also greatly interfered with his mind.
