C625 The First to Appear

Tong Ye pondered for a long time before the light in his eyes began to dim. He raised his head and looked at Ziyun Hujingze without saying a word. Then he walked down the stage without saying a word.

Zyun Hujingze watched Tong Ye's back as he left. His eyes were narrowed and there was a mysterious smile on his face.

Even though the Heavenly Fox Clan and the Mang Tiger Clan had been enemies for many generations, that was a grudge that had started several generations ago. By the time it reached Ziyun Hujingze's generation, many of the Heavenly Fox clansmen no longer knew why they were enemies with the Mang Tiger Clan.

Ziyun Hujingze thought that it was better to end this feud than to continue it endlessly. Initially, he was not sure if Tong Ye was the kind of person who hated the Heavenly Fox Clan to the extreme.

But after he fought with him, he realized that even though the other party was angry about his background, he did not kill him when he made his move. So he felt that Tong Ye was actually only misled by the elders in his family. In reality, he did not hate the Heavenly Fox Clan that much.

That was why Ziyun Hujingze had said those words to him just now.

He could see that after the other party heard his words, he also began to think deeply about whether or not there was a need for the grudges between the two families. He knew that the other party would probably not oppose him for the time being.

When he thought of this, Zyun Hujingze was in a good mood.

At this time, Imperial Emperor Gu Yang, Jing Canghai, stepped onto the arena from the seat of honor. He stood beside the Pure Fox and looked at the Pure Fox with interest.

"Your Majesty." When Zyun Hujingze saw Jing Canghai arriving at the arena, he quickly gathered his thoughts and said respectfully to Jing Canghai.

"Well, you are very good. It is truly a great fortune for the Heavenly Fox Clan to have such an outstanding person like you." Jing Canghai nodded his head and said.

Facing Jing Canghai's praise, Ziyun only smiled and did not say much.

He knew that Jing Canghai did not come to the arena just to praise him, so he did not feel proud.

After that, Jing Canghai turned around and the smile on his face disappeared. A wave of Emperor's Qi instantly spread out from his body, revealing his identity as the ruler of the country.

"Zyun Hujingze has successfully defeated ten challengers, and the position of the Fourth Young Master is still his. I am very pleased to be able to see the glory of so many young Prodigies from the three great realms." Jing Canghai faced the crowd below the stage and spoke slowly.

When everyone heard Imperial Emperor Gu Yang's words, their ears perked up. They were not interested in his words of praise for Ziyun Hujingze, but in who the next defender would be.

Originally, the arena battle was supposed to be carried out in order of ranking, but due to Lee Zhuohua's absence at the beginning, he skipped the first place and started the arena battle with Ziyun Hujingze.

Now, everyone wanted to know whether they should return to the first place or start from the third place.

"If it starts from the third place, then we won't go up. Zhan Wuhen's strength is also extremely strong. Challenging him is simply asking for humiliation."

"If we go back to the first place, hehe, that Lee Zhuohua seems to be only at the early Astral Reaching Realm. If I defeat him, I will be able to take the first place."

"The Stellar Monument has even named him the Holy Son. I wonder if he really has such talent. If he really has such a strong talent, how can he only be at the Early Astral Reaching Realm?"

These people did not deliberately hide their voices when they were talking, so Lee Zhuohua heard them all. He did not expect these people to look down on him so much, and at this moment, his face was filled with black lines.

"Haha, you have become a fat sheep in everyone's eyes. They all want to get the first place from you." At this moment, Yun Fan was still mocking Lee Zhuohua.

"Are you really only at the Early Astral Reaching Realm? If that's the case, I want to challenge you too." Lin Yue also started to mock Lee Zhuohua.

Lee Zhuohua's old face darkened when he heard the words of these two people insulting him. He looked around and saw those who wanted to challenge him one by one.

The Stellar Monument's test was correct. Lee Zhuohua was indeed only at the Early Astral Reaching Realm back then, but that was only at that time. No one would have thought that in just a few days of entering the Spiritual Pine Mountain Range, Lee Zhuohua would break through two levels of stairs and reach the peak of the Astral Reaching Realm.

I wondered what their expressions would be if they knew.

Of course, Lee Zhuohua would not purposely shout that he was not at the Early Astral Reaching Realm. He thought that since these people treated him like a fat sheep, he would show them who was the fat sheep when they challenged him.

Still, it all came down to who would be next on the ring.

Under everyone's expectant gazes, Jing Canghai, who was on the arena, finally continued to speak.

"The reason why I skipped the order of the arena matches was because the situation just now was special, but now that the first place of the Astral Monument's ruling has arrived, then the arena matches will naturally be carried out in the original order. Alright, let's begin the second round of the arena matches." After Jing Canghai finished speaking in a concise manner, his gaze paused on Lee Zhuohua for a while before he flew back to his seat of honor.

His words caused the eyes of many people below the arena to light up. These people were all trying to take the opportunity to step on Lee Zhuohua to get the upper hand.

Of course, there were some people who did not think that Lee Zhuohua would be such a simple person. They planned to wait and see the situation first.

"Go ahead, big fat sheep, hahaha." Yun Fan patted Lee Zhuohua's shoulder and laughed wantonly.

Lee Zhuohua rolled his eyes at him, and then under everyone's shining gazes, he walked up the stage.

When Lee Zhuohua walked up to the arena, Zyun Hujingze just so happened to walk down and the two of them faced each other.

"Come on, ten games, and if you win, you'll be number one. But be careful, even I'm tempted by your number one spot, and maybe I'll come up and challenge you when I'm done resting, hahaha." Ziyun Hujingze blinked at Lee Zhuohua, not knowing if he was joking or if he really had the intention of challenging Lee Zhuohua.

"Sure, if you want to come up, then come up. When the time comes, don't cry when I kick you off." Lee Zhuohua was also a bachelor, so he said it directly.

When Ziyun Hujingze heard Lee Zhuohua's words, he was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing. He shook his head and walked down from Lee Zhuohua's side.

After Ziyun walked down, the smile on Lee Zhuohua's face disappeared. He knew that the Pure Fox's words were just teasing him, but he also knew that he was the champion of the Stellar Monument. There were a lot of people below the stage who were trying to get their hands on him.

However, Lee Zhuohua would not be afraid of these people. His position as the first place was not something that they could take away as they pleased.

"Humph, let me see who will come up." Lee Zhuohua snorted coldly in his heart. He stood still on the arena and quietly waited for the challenger to come up.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the stage. As soon as this figure appeared, everyone below the stage was shocked, as if they hadn't expected that the first person to challenge would be this person.

When Lee Zhuohua saw this person, his expression changed as well. The appearance of this person had surprised him. He had never thought that this person would come up.

He had thought that the first person to come up would be Wen Hwa from the Devil Strategy Sect, but Wen Hwa was standing in the crowd, staring at the figure on the stage with an unwilling expression.

It seemed that he did plan to be the first to go up the stage, but he didn't expect this person to beat him to it.
