X-Dragon Era

Hearing what Yi Luo Xiang had said, that fellow was first taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter, shaking his head while laughing: "I truly pity your ignorance. Ousting us? Don't tell me you don't know who our Young Master Kui is!"

At this point, the fellow turned his head, looking arrogantly at Xin Yun and said, "And you, daring to speak so recklessly; don't you know that Brother Kui is also in this Third-year Phase?"

"Brother Kui? Which Brother Kui?" Hearing the other party's words, Xin Yun couldn't help but frown. It wasn't an act—he truly didn't know. After all... he hadn't been back long enough to fully understand the situation at the academy.

Even though Xin Yun genuinely didn't know, the other party obviously wouldn't think so. In his eyes, Xin Yun was doing it on purpose, with the goal of humiliating Young Master Kui. How could he tolerate that!

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, the tall fellow reached into his chest pocket, gently pulling out a red letter, and disdainfully handed it to Xin Yun, coldly saying, "Kid, you're quite arrogant, aren't you? Good... this is our Young Master Kui's challenge letter. I want to see just what gives you the right to be so insolent?"

A challenge letter? Looking at the red letter in the other party's hand, Xin Yun had no choice but to accept, having just intimidated everyone so boldly the day before. To avoid facing the challenge now would probably make him the laughing stock of everyone; how could he hold his head up in the future? Pondering for a moment, Xin Yun reached out his large hand, taking the red challenge letter.

Seeing Xin Yun accept the letter, the tall fellow smiled proudly, casting a pitying glance at Xin Yun before respectfully bowing to Yi Luo Xiang, then turned on his heel and walked away. In his view, Yi Luo Xiang was bound to be unable to escape Young Master Kui's clutches and was very likely to be the future Main Mistress. If he didn't curry favor now, life would be difficult later on.

Opening the red letter, Xin Yun drew out a golden piece of paper. Upon unfolding it, he saw just a few bold characters—Three days later, at the Dueling Grounds, for the supremacy battle. The signature at the bottom was Wang Kui!

Looking at the unfamiliar signature, Xin Yun really couldn't recall who this person was. He had no memory of him in this life, nor in the last. Clearly... this individual wasn't likely to be a big shot in the future, otherwise, how could Xin Yun have no memory of him?

However, if that were truly the case, it seemed somewhat illogical. If one were strong before reaching the Gold rank, they might not necessarily be truly strong, but the power at the Gold rank signifies real strength. A formidable person from this period would certainly not fade into obscurity later on.

As Xin Yun pondered, Yi Luo Xiang tightly clenched her fist—although she did not know who Wang Kui was, it was clear that because of her, Xin Yun was once again drawn into trouble, and this time the trouble probably wasn't minor.

Although neither Xin Yun nor Yi Luo Xiang knew anything about Wang Kui, they both understood that under such circumstances, to dare challenge Xin Yun, and judging from the pitying look on that fellow's face earlier, showing complete confidence in his master, this was likely not going to be simple.

Out of caution, Xin Yun summoned Yan Qingying and Ming Xuan to the academy's small bar through the Tai Chi Diagram, after all... they had been studying here for over a year, and if Wang Kui were truly that formidable, they would surely know of him.

While Yi Luo Xiang wasn't too concerned about Wang Kui's challenge, having great confidence in Xin Yun, Yan Qingying and Ming Xuan were quite worried.

Inside the small bar, Ming Xuan furrowed his brow tightly, taking a long while before finally speaking: "This challenge you're facing is probably not going to be easy; Wang Kui's strength is extremely formidable, far from something the average person can match."

"Mm..." Hearing Ming Xuan's words, Yan Qingying nodded and said, "That's right, what Ming Xuan said is no exaggeration. Wang Kui is definitely a top-notch expert; even Po Kong barely managed to win against him!"

"Oh!" At this, Xin Yun's eyes lit up, filled with anticipation, and he said, "This guy is really that strong? Tell me, how strong is he exactly?"

At Xin Yun's inquiry, Ming Xuan frowned and said, "I've seen his battles. His Great Mud Dragon is very special, made entirely out of a highly adhesive mud that is immune to physical attacks. Energy blasts aren't immune either, but its defense is very strong. Back when Po Kong faced him, it took over eight minutes of unceasing Sword Qi bombardment, releasing tens of thousands of Sword Qi strikes, to finally deplete the Great Mud Dragon's energy, causing it to collapse. If that guy had even a bit more energy, it would have been Po Kong who lost!"

"Geez..." Hearing Ming Xuan's words, Xin Yun involuntarily inhaled sharply. Great Mud Dragon! His opponent actually controlled such a formidable dragon; this was going to be a challenge.

As he was deep in thought, Yan Qingying chimed in, "Back when he fought with Po Kong, he was just at three-star Crystal rank, but now... his strength has already broken through to six-star Crystal. If it wasn't for his wish to stay behind and challenge Po Kong, to win back his honor, he would have already moved on to the Fourth Grade Segment!"

"Damn!" Upon hearing this, Xin Yun finally showed alarm. Compared to before, the guy had only improved by three stars, but his energy had increased unfathomably! Had Po Kong challenged the Wang Kui of now, it would have been Po Kong who lost!

Moreover, what gave Xin Yun a real headache was that this guy, despite his loss to Po Kong, was utterly unconvinced, having stayed in the Third-year Phase for so long, preparing to challenge again and reclaim his honor. Keep in mind... his opponent was, in the last life, eventually the number one expert!
