Chapter 769 - Have Some Integrity, Will You?
As soon as Diwu Qian admitted defeat, Yun Yangzi’s voice rang out in the field.
Fang Qiu was stunned.
He turned to look at Yun Yangzi.
“I’ll leave this to you.”
Beside him, Diwu Qian glanced at Fang Qiu and Yun Yangzi. Then, she stretched out her hand, indicating that she would make room for them. Then, she moved and floated to the top of the pavilion, ready to watch the battle.
In the field, Fang Qiu and Yun Yangzi nodded to Diwu Qian at the same time and then turned to look at each other.
“Sorry. You are?”
Fang Qiu looked at Yun Yangzi and asked.
“I’m Yun Yangzi,” Yun Yangzi cupped his hands and said.
“Uh?”
Fang Qiu froze and asked, “Where did you come from? I haven’t heard of you.”
As soon as he said that, everyone’s jaws dropped in shock.
“Hasn’t John Doe heard of Yun Yangzi before?”
“What’s going on?”
“John Doe doesn’t even know Yun Yangzi?”
“How could anyone not hear of Yun Yangzi’s name in Wulin?”
“It’s understandable that you don’t know how he looks like, but it’s absurd that you have not even heard of his name!”
Everyone, including Diwu Qian, was shocked by Fang Qiu’s words.
Yun Yangzi, such a top figure on Wulin Genius List, was definitely a well-known existence in the world. Even those who just entered Wulin would definitely have heard of Yun Yangzi’s name in that short period of time. Besides, John Doe had been in Wulin for almost two years. He had never heard of Yun Yangzi’s name during the two years, which must be his fault.
Hearing the discussions coming from all around, Fang Qiu could not help being stunned. He said with a little embarrassment, “It seems that I’m very ignorant.”
“What are you talking about, John Doe?”
Yun Yangzi shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s just a name. Since you have not heard of it, it only means that I am not outstanding. But since you’ve asked, I’ll just briefly introduce myself. I’m Yun Yangzi, ranking first on the Wulin Genius List for the time being.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Hearing that, Fang Qiu hurriedly responded with cupped fists.
He ranked first on Wulin Genius List!
Fang Qiu was shocked.
It was not because he was amazed by his identity, but because he was shocked that he knew about the existence of the Wulin Genius List. He knew Chen Yunzhu who ranked fifth on the list and Diwu Qian who ranked second, but he did not know Yun Yangzi, who ranked first, which was really a little embarrassing.
“Since you already know who I am, I wonder if you will be willing to fight with me.”
When he heard this, Yun Yangzi added, “It’s not for seeking fame or vanity. I only want to see what I can learn from this battle!”
“Well...”
Fang Qiu was lost in thought.
On the pavilion, everyone looked at Fang Qiu expectantly. They did not know if John Doe would agree with Yun Yangzi.
After all, John Doe just wiped out the Luoyin Sect and defeated Diwu Qian in succession. It seemed that he had used up a lot of internal Qi just now. If he continued to fight Yun Yangzi, he would definitely suffer losses.
However, given Yun Yangzi’s character, he would never take advantage of John Doe. Even if John Doe agreed, he would give him enough time to recover.
While they were looking forward to it, everyone present was also delighted.
No one had expected that.
This time, they not only witnessed John Doe destroying the evil sect in Wulin—Luo Yin Sect, but also watched the battle between John Doe and Diwu Qian. Next, they might even see the great battle between John Doe and Yun Yangzi. If John Doe agreed to Yun Yangzi’s invitation, then this trip would be really worth it!
After pondering for a while, Fang Qiu said under everyone’s expectant eyes, “Twenty million!”
While he was pondering, Fang Qiu thought about it carefully. Although he had already destroyed the Luo Yin Sect and achieved the purpose of establishing his prestige, the strength of Luo Yin Sect did not seem to be as powerful as he had imagined. It could not even be compared with Diwu Qian. In this case, it would not take long for everyone to forget that he had destroyed the Luo Yin Sect and the effect of building his prestige would be much lesser.
Under these circumstances, if he wanted to prove that he was not a person to be trifled with, not only did he have to do things that left everyone astounded, he had to present even greater power!
Among all the people present, there was no doubt that the strongest one was Yun Yangzi.
Once he defeated Yun Yangzi, everyone would have a clear understanding of his strength. Only then would they know that John Doe was someone that even Yun Yangzi could not afford to offend.
In this way, people in Wulin would be in awe of him and would not dare to hurt his relatives and friends.
That was why Fang Qiu asked for money.
Since it was beneficial to him and he could earn 20 million yuan for this, he would fight with Yun Yangzi!
“F*ck, he wants money again?”
“John Doe, have some integrity, will you?”
“Although you have confirmed to be in the second place on the Wulin Genius List, Yun Yangzi, who ranks first on the list, has taken the initiative to challenge you. Could you please be more reserved? This is a competition for the first place!”
“That’s right. It’s not good to fight for the first place in the name of money!”
“John Doe, how much money do you lack?”
“Damn, he made hundreds of millions of yuan selling the treasure swords. And he just earned 20 million from Diwu Qian. Now he is asking for money from Yun Yangzi. Do you think you can spend so much money?”
“John Doe can’t be a miser, can he?”
The onlookers started to scold him without holding back.
Fang Qiu also heard everyone’s remarks very clearly, but he did not bother to explain to them. Earning money was the right thing to do. Everyone only knew that he was making money, but they did not know why he was making money. He did not need to explain it either.
However, he felt helpless at having to leave the impression of being a miser.
After hearing Fang Qiu’s request, Yun Yangzi suddenly smiled in a casual and decent manner. He said with a smile, “It seems that I have not earned your respect yet.”
“Twenty million, okay!”
Speaking of this, Yun Yangzi paused for a moment and then added, “Half a month later, on the night of the full moon, we’ll meet in this place, okay?”
Actually, it was not easy for Yun Yangzi to earn twenty million.
In the beginning, he wanted to use his own fame to challenge John Doe so that he could save the twenty million challenge fee. However, he did not expect that John Doe did not know who he was.
He had even to introduce himself and his ranking awkwardly.
However, John Doe did not hold him in awe and even asked for 20 million.
There was nothing he could do.
The purpose of his challenge with John Doe was to prove himself. It was also because there was finally someone in Wulin who was worthy of his challenge. He had lost the feeling of fighting fiercely and wholeheartedly for a long time, so he really wanted to compete with John Doe.
The most important thing was that after witnessing John Doe destroying Luo Yin Sect and defeating Diwu Qian, Yun Yangzi somehow had a feeling that it was very likely that he would gain something after the battle with John Doe.
If all these factors were taken into account, the benefit he would gain would be worth more than 20 million.
“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded in agreement.
“If that’s the case, may I ask you to make one move to show me your talent first?”
Yun Yangzi asked.
Fang Qiu was stunned at first, but then he suddenly laughed. He gazed at Yun Yangzi with a smile and asked meaningfully, “Why?”
Yun Yangzi was not embarrassed at all. On the contrary, he replied naturally, “Know both the enemy and yourself, that’s the gentlemen’s battle strategy!”
Fang Qiu grinned again.
“This guy is not easy to deal with.”
He made this request in such a vague manner, in order to explore his strength. Moreover, he made it sound like a gentleman’s battle.
In a real competition, there was no reason for him to show his actual strength first.
Even if he wanted to know his enemy, he needed to investigate in private.
If they both showed their strength before the battle, then what was the point of having a challenge? Wasn’t it better to directly compare their strength with each other?
Fang Qiu also knew.
The reason why Yun Yangzi said this in a roundabout way was that he had too little information about himself in Wulin. No one had ever found out about his background, so Yun Yangzi had no clue. In addition, he did not discover anything during the previous battle, so Yun Yangzi came up with this suggestion.
Although Fang Qiu could figure out what Yun Yangzi was thinking, he did not expose it. Instead, he nodded and agreed, as Yun Yangzi expected.
“Thank you.”
Yun Yangzi cupped his hands and nodded.
Then, the internal Qi in his body was activated.
“I’m coming.”
Waving his right palm, Yun Yangzi gave him a warning. Then, he moved and rushed toward Fang Qiu, striking him.
Fang Qiu did not hesitate.
He immediately struck out his palm to counterattack.
In the blink of an eye, the two quickly gave each other a strike and then separated immediately.
“Hmm?”
The strike was over.
Yun Yangzi retreated to his original position, raised his eyebrows, looked at Fang Qiu, and said, ” Your current condition shows that you are no match for me. I hope you will improve by the full-moon night.”
Fang Qiu answered with a smile, “When the time comes, I won’t let you down.”
Yun Yangzi had found out Fang Qiu’s strength, while Fang Qiu also knew the extent of his strength.
He was a ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian!
He was indeed a genius.
If he was promoted to the next level, he would be a guru.
To be able to do this at his current age, Yun Yangzi was indeed very capable.
However, it was not so easy to become a guru. It was a real obstacle that was as difficult as getting through a chasm!
Evaluated with his current strength, the strength that Fang Qiu had cultivated to the peak of the sixth class was indeed no match for Yun Yangzi.
If he directly used the power of a guru, the competition would be too dreary.
“It seems that I have to level up.”
He muttered to himself.
Fang Qiu cupped his hands.
Yun Yangzi also saluted in return. Then, under the gazes of all the people present, the two of them went down the mountain separately.
The two of them walked as if nothing had happened.
But there was an uproar on the mountain.
“Did he really manage to issue the challenge?”
“John Doe earned another 20 million!”
“It has nothing to do with whether he makes money or not. The most important thing is that this is indeed a battle for the first place!”
“They will do it here in half a month. I’m really looking forward to it!”
“This should be the biggest battle in Wulin in recent years, right?”
“Also, what happened to the blow just now? According to what Yun Yangzi said, John Doe’s strength doesn’t seem to be as powerful as his!”
“Will John Doe be defeated by Yun Yangzi?”
“It’s almost time. Since he appeared in Wulin, John Doe has been so invincible till now. If there is no one to defeat him, he can never be suppressed.”
In the heated discussion, everyone grew more and more curious about this big battle.
With strong curiosity, everyone went down the mountain. The top ten people on the Wulin Genius List led by Diwu Qian also went down the mountain together. Like the ordinary martial arts practitioners and Martial Superiors, they also looked forward to the full-moon night in half a month!
