“Kid, what do you mean?” Wu Jun sneered, looking at Lin Yun in the spectator stands.
“My meaning is simple. If you want to come for me, I’ll step into the arena right now and fight you. Do you dare or not?” Lin Yun shouted with inner strength, his voice full of momentum, echoing through the entire arena.
The previously noisy and bustling arena fell into a brief silence.
All eyes turned to Lin Yun at that moment.
“You dare to challenge me?” Wu Jun seemed utterly astonished.
Wu Jun hadn’t expected this guy to be bold enough to challenge him directly!
“That’s right! Do you dare to accept?” Lin Yun stood tall, his tone resolute and powerful.
Wu Qing and Wu Yue, standing beside Lin Yun, were equally shocked. They hadn’t expected Lin Yun to suddenly stand up and say this.
Even the female elf sitting next to Lin Yun looked at him in astonishment.
After a moment of silence, the arena erupted into a wave of commotion.
“This guy came in with Wu Chengtian and the others. He can’t possibly be at the Void Dao Realm, at most the Transcendent Realm. Yet he dares to challenge Wu Jun?”
“Exactly. Wu Jun has a true holy weapon, and his overall strength is impressive. This guy just saw Wu Chengtian lose, yet he still dares to challenge Wu Jun?”
…
Inside the arena.
“Haha, why wouldn’t I dare to accept? Tell me, what’s your realm!” Wu Jun said with a confident smile, his voice equally loud and resonant.
“Second Stage Transcendent Realm!” Lin Yun’s tone was sharp.
“Second Stage Transcendent Realm? Haha, since you and Wu Chengtian are both at the Second Stage Transcendent Realm, and he just lost, you still dare to challenge me? Where does your confidence come from?” Wu Jun laughed loudly.
As Lin Yun announced his realm, the discussions in the arena grew even louder, with no shortage of mocking remarks.
“You don’t need to know where my confidence comes from. Since you’ve accepted the challenge, let’s fight!”
With that, Lin Yun leapt into the air and landed in the arena beside Wu Chengtian.
“Brother Wu, you go rest. I’ll take back the face you lost!” Lin Yun patted Wu Chengtian’s shoulder.
“Brother Lin Yun, this… you…” Wu Chengtian’s expression was complex, his eyes filled with concern.
Wu Chengtian knew Lin Yun was formidable, but Wu Jun was not only at the Third Stage Transcendent Realm but also wielded a true holy weapon and had many other powerful techniques.
In such circumstances, Wu Chengtian wasn’t sure if Lin Yun could defeat Wu Jun.
Wu Chengtian was well aware that in this arena’s betting match, a life-and-death contract had to be signed. Wu Jun wouldn’t dare kill him.
But Wu Jun would absolutely dare to kill Lin Yun!
Moreover, Wu Chengtian worried whether Lin Yun’s actions would further deepen Wu Jun’s hatred toward him.
“Brother Wu, since he’s already bullying us like this, and no matter what, he’s determined to come after me, there’s no reason for me to hold back. You don’t need to worry,” Lin Yun said, patting Wu Chengtian’s shoulder.
After all, Wu Jun had made it clear he intended to crush Lin Yun.
Retreat, and Wu Jun would still come after him. Advance, and Wu Jun would still target him. Since that was the case, why should Lin Yun hesitate? Why should he back down?
Two words: fight him!
“Alright, be careful,” Wu Chengtian nodded.
With that, Wu Chengtian was escorted out of the arena by the staff of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
In the arena, only Lin Yun and Wu Jun remained.
Lin Yun looked at Wu Jun and said, “Wu Jun, one should spare others when possible. Since you insist on bullying with your power, I have no reason to be polite with you.”
Wu Jun laughed as if he’d heard the funniest joke in the world. “I really want to ask, what gives you the right to challenge me? You’re the one talking tough first? You, not polite to me? Tell me, what background do you have, what backing?”
“No background, no backing,” Lin Yun replied calmly.
“Since you have no background or backing, what gives you the right to say that!” Wu Jun sneered.
Lin Yun’s words caused bursts of laughter among the crowd.
In their eyes, Lin Yun was undoubtedly the weak one, and Wu Jun the strong. For Lin Yun to say such things to the strong was utterly laughable!
“Whether I have the right, we’ll know after we fight. Don’t you claim to be invincible among the Transcendent Realm? I’d love to see just how formidable you are!” Lin Yun said, the corner of his mouth curling slightly.
“Don’t worry, you’ll find out. But once you do, you’ll be dead! Since you’ve come to challenge me, I’ll take this chance to kill you in the arena, saving me the effort of dealing with you later,” Wu Jun said with a smile.
“Since this is a betting match, shouldn’t we raise the stakes?” Lin Yun looked at Wu Jun calmly.
“Fine, name your stakes. I’ll match them, but I’m afraid you can’t afford it! Also, I’ll suppress my realm to the same level as yours!” Wu Jun said, brimming with confidence.
He had defeated Wu Chengtian with ease. Why would he fear a guy with no background or backing?
No background or backing meant a lack of foundation.
Lin Yun’s lips still carried a smile. “No need to suppress your realm. Use all the strength you have. If you suppress your realm, I’ll only win too easily, and it’ll be too unchallenging.”
