Chapter 1823: Battle against the Heavenly Ranking

“4000 fire spirit coins!”

Li Yunhe’s expression was calm, as if he was certain the other party would eventually agree to his terms.

“4000 fire spirit coins?”

Ye Erlang indeed showed a hint of excitement, then said, “But I just fought a match.”

“5000 fire spirit coins!”

“You are a powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking, a master of the Soul Transformation Stage.”

“6000 fire spirit coins!”

Ye Erlang’s expression changed slightly. “If you offer 7000 fire spirit coins, I’ll fight you with all I’ve got.”

“Deal!”

Li Yunhe agreed without hesitation, then asked, “When should the second match begin? Do you need to rest?”

“No need, we can start now. Making money is the priority!”

As Ye Erlang spoke, he showed an impatient expression.

In fact, all of this was a trap he had just set. The reason Ye Erlang was passively beaten in the first battle, and the reason he didn't slap Wei Wei to death, was to lure these guys into giving him more fire spirit coins.

These guys had provoked him repeatedly; just beating them up was too easy. He had to make them bleed a lot.

But only he knew about this plan; others were unaware. Seeing the two of them so quickly agree to a second challenge, the crowd instantly erupted in an uproar, all shocked.

“What did I see? Is this guy crazy? He actually dared to accept a challenge from a Heaven Ranking powerhouse…”

“A mouse serving a cat as a courtesan! This is earning money without caring for his life!

Did this guy forget that he is just an Outer Courtyard student, and that he only has a Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivation?”

“And he just fought one match, and now he wants to fight a second? Does he really think he’s a God of War?”

“No, absolutely not!”

Chu Lingxi quickly jumped onto the arena and stepped forward to stop him: “Junior Brother Ye, are you crazy? He is a powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking, a master of the Soul Transformation Early Stage. How could you, a Nascent Soul Initial Stage, possibly defeat him?

If you really lack fire spirit coins, I still have 3000 here. Just take them. Please don’t take such a risk, or you’ll suffer a great loss.”

Ye Erlang looked at her and chuckled, “Senior Sister, how can I take your fire spirit coins? I’m not a man who lives off women.”

“Uh, shameless! Too shameless…”

Hearing his words, the crowd once again erupted in an uproar.

The most famous gigolo in the academy right now,

actually said he wasn't a gigolo. The audience immediately booed, and countless people raised their middle fingers.

Chu Lingxi looked anxious: “Junior Brother, what time is it? You’re still joking!

Listen to me, you absolutely cannot agree to his challenge.”

Ye Erlang said, “Senior Sister, I’m serious. As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. Who knows, those 7000 fire spirit coins might just be mine.”

Chu Lingxi was about to say something when she was pulled off the arena. She turned her head and saw that it was Ye Tian who had pulled her.

“Junior Brother, what are you doing? Let go of me quickly!”

Chu Lingxi struggled twice with force but couldn't shake off his hand.

Ye Bufan said, “Senior Sister, I told you, this elder brother has an extraordinary appearance and unique bones. The responsibility of saving Earth, no, saving the Kunlun Continent, rests on his shoulders in the future.

You don’t need to worry about it. He will definitely win this match too.”

“You’re joking again. Do you know that person? That’s Li Yunhe, ranked ninety-ninth on the Heaven Ranking, a powerhouse of the Soul Transformation Stage. He can’t possibly be his opponent…”

Chu Lingxi had only spoken halfway when she saw Ye Bufan looking at her cheerfully: “Senior Sister doesn’t trust my judgment, do you? Then let’s make another bet.

If I win this time, let me kiss you twice. If you win, the previous debt will be canceled.”

At the mention of the previous bet, Chu Lingxi’s cheeks instantly flushed: “I won’t bet with you.”

“Not betting?” Ye Bufan’s lips curled into a mischievous smile, “Not betting is fine too. Then pay back the gambling debt you owe me from before. I want it now.”

“No, you can’t.” Seeing him getting closer and seemingly about to kiss her, Chu Lingxi stammered in a panic, “I’ll bet with you.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: “Alright, it’s a deal.”

While the two were talking, Lu Xueman also came to Ye Erlang, showing a worried expression.

“Is this really okay?”

She hadn’t spoken earlier because Wei Wei was, after all, just a Middle Courtyard student, and his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Stage.

But Li Yunhe was different now. He was a powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking. Although his ranking was low, he was a genuine Soul Transformation Stage.

Ye Erlang said, “It’s fine, I have it under control. Besides, aren’t you watching from the side? Just save me at the critical moment.”

“Alright then, but you must act within your capabilities. You can surrender at a critical moment. After all, you are just a new Outer Courtyard student, so losing to him is not shameful.”

“Don’t worry,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I know.”

Ye Erlang nodded, then he and Li Yunhe went to the referee teacher and signed the gambling agreement again.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the second challenge began again. Ye Erlang and Li Yunhe stood face to face on the arena.

“Kid, today I want to see how strong your defensive ability is!”

After Li Yunhe finished speaking, his figure flickered and he appeared before Ye Erlang, striking out with a fierce palm.

However, as a powerhouse of the Soul Transformation Stage, he didn't use his full strength, fearing that he might accidentally kill the opponent. He only used fifty percent of his cultivation.

Even so, the momentum was much stronger than Wei Wei's before. A single palm strike swept through the entire arena with immense pressure, and even the surrounding air emitted sharp whistling sounds.

The crowd below couldn't help but gasp. Was this the strength of a Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse? Was this the might of a Heaven Ranking master?

At the same time, many people looked at Ye Erlang with pity. Although this person had defeated Wei Wei, he still couldn't compare to the Heaven Ranking master before them. The outcome of this challenge was already decided from the very beginning.

“Good timing!”

Ye Erlang roared loudly, neither dodging nor evading, fearlessly meeting the attack with a palm strike of his own.

The two palms collided solidly, emitting an earth-shattering boom.

The result was the same as before. Ye Erlang flew back seven or eight meters, then fell onto the arena.

But that was all. He immediately stood up again, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.

“This…”

The crowd below looked horrified. They didn't expect that even with Li Yunhe, he still couldn't injure this guy. Could he really be made of steel and iron bones?

“He really can take a hit. I don’t believe I can’t beat you to death!”

Li Yunhe was stunned for a moment, then he struck out with another palm, this time using eighty percent of his cultivation.

Thus, the scene from before played out again. Ye Erlang was repeatedly forced back, but that was all; he wasn’t injured in the slightest.

Li Yunhe gritted his teeth and, for the third time, unleashed his full strength, but the result remained unchanged.

“This…”

Li Yunhe simply couldn’t believe his eyes. How could a dignified Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse not be able to injure a Nascent Soul Initial Stage? No one would believe it if he told them.

“Are you done fighting? It’s my turn!”

Ye Erlang roared, leaping into the air, and smashed down with an incomparably domineering punch.
