Deity Hero: Me! Gaining Disciples Makes Me Stronger! Chapter 217 – Challenge! ! !

These cultivators had different backgrounds, and most of them were merchants who sells information.

A few days ago, they had received news that Dao Kuang, the martial arts madman, was going to call out for Xuan Yi across the sky.

One of them was once in the top ten of the Southern Continent's Yuan Board, and the other was now the first in the Southern Continent's Yuan Board.

Both of them were born to be the topic of a conversation. With Dao Kuang's tacit approval and addition fueling to the fire, the entire Jiang region's powers and people from various regions had come over in the past few days.

“I wonder what he wants to do.”

Everyone raised their heads to look at Dao Zheng, who was high up on the steep mountain wall, waiting for him to speak.

When everyone was about to arrive, Dao Kuang moved.

Bang!

A loud and distant sound of the saber had directly transmitted across the entire river bank!

Those with lower cultivations covered their ears, their faces were in pain, their bodies were trembling, and those with higher cultivations felt a stab in their hearts. From the sound of the saber, they could sense the violent spiritual power cultivation behind them.

Dao Zheng's gaze was like a knife, as if it was corporeal, sweeping across everyone's faces.

Regardless of the level of their cultivation, everyone lowered their heads and felt a piercing pain in their eyes!

“I think everyone here today knows what I want to do!”

“How can Xuan Yi be ranked first on the Yuan Board, only based on the battle in the Dongping region? If that's the case, I, Dao Zheng, will not accept it!”

“Southern Bright Tower is a joke too. They formed the first ranking on the Yuan Board and pushed me down.”

Dao Zheng's gaze was cold as he placed his large hand on the hilt of his saber.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. It was as if the saber had gleamed across them. The tens of thousands of people presented were all silent.

Originally, there was no ranking on the Yuan Board. Now that Xuan Yi ranked on the board, the Southern Bright Tower had ranked him first.

Compared to Dao Zheng who dropped from the board, he now seemed like the least ranked.

It was not a surprise that Dao Kuang was furious.

“It's fine that Xuan Yi is on the list, but being in first place is a little arrogant. What makes him to be first on the list when he just entered?”

“Since he has been ranked first, then I, Dao Zheng, will challenge him!”

“On the Crimson River Mountain of the region!”

Dao Zheng suddenly pulled out his saber while the tip of his mouth turned ghastly.

Since he had been removed from the list, and he felt that Xuan Yi was not qualified to be on the list, therefore he want to challenge Xuan Yi to prove that Xuan Yi was only below average.

The ranked-first person on the Yuan Board was only an average.

In another word, if Xuan Yi lost…

It then proved that Xuan Yi did not have the qualification to be the so-called number one person on the Yuan Board.

The reputation of Southern Bright Tower would also suffer from a heavy blow.

Everyone's hearts were shaken. They knew that something big was going to happen.

The information merchant's eyes were in blaze, as he stared at Dao Zheng. The Recording Talisman in his hand never moved as he recorded all of Dao Zheng's words.

Dao Zheng had a cold smile on his face as he reached out to pull out his saber. He swung his saber with the sound of wind whistled as he slashed towards the mountain beside him.

This mountain was known as the Crimson River Mountain. It was originally as tall as the clouds and incomparably tall.

Boom!

The saber's aura surged and was shot straight towards the river. The endless and surging waves of the river were instantly split into two.

With just one strike, and Crimson River Mountain was cut off!

Everyone was shocked!

After Dao Kuang finished his speech, his body flashed and disappeared.

Soon, the news spread out in the Jiang region like a hurricane and reached the entire Southern Continent.

Half a month later, in the Jiang region, Jiang city, and the Crimson River Mountain.

The news of Dao Zheng's challenge on Xuan Yi was spread by the merchants and the disciples of various large factions. Within three days, the news had already spread throughout the entire Southern Continent.

Under the effect of the Recording Talisman, Dao Zheng's words and attitude had spread throughout the entire Southern Continent without missing a single word.

The most attractive part of it was when Dao Zheng said that he suspected that Xuan Yi was faking it.

This sentence caught the attention of most people.

After all, the Southern Continent was vast. Xuan Yi wasn't born in the top ten regions, and he didn't have any powerful ancient family backing him.

Before the ranking, the name Xuan Yi was extremely unfamiliar to most people in the Southern Continent.

After the Dongping region, the Yuan Board changed. Xuan Yi entered the board quickly. Not only did he ousted the well-known warmonger, Frenzied Dao Zheng, he even dropped the other strong individuals in the Yuan Board and was ranked as the number one person in the Sect Master Realm by the Southern Bright Tower!

It was a huge honor, but also a dangerous pit!

After all, in everyone's eyes, Xuan Yi's most outstanding battle achievement was just killing a late-staged master from Sect Master Realm with just one strike.

And the ten person on the Southern Continent's Yuan Board, all of them had reached the peak of Sect Master Realm. Not to mention, that the late-staged Yuan Board's cultivators, even early-staged sages could be defeated by them.

But ever since Xuan Yi came, he had taken the first place.

Due to the Southern Bright Tower's ranking had always been fair and reliable, therefore no one from the first aristocratic family expressed doubt towards it.

However, after Dao Zheng's disturbance, the entire Southern Continent was in constant conflict, everyone was discussing about it, and everyone had their own opinions.

To be able to obtain the Southern Bright Tower's approval and even be ranked first on the Yuan Board showed that he must be powerful in some way.

“To be able to kill a late-staged strong Sect Master Realm individual with just one strike, isn't that a little too easy? No ordinary Sect Master Realm master could do it, he must have some outstanding points. I think he has the strength of an early-staged sage.”

“I don't think so. I heard that Xuan Yi only relied on a heavenly powered individual's aid to show off in the Dongping region. Who knows, he might not be the one to kill any late-stage sect master.”

Everyone argued.

As time passed, the matter had became bigger and bigger. It seemed to become the biggest event in the entire Southern Continent.

Everyone looked around and waited eagerly. Half a month later, Xuan Yi would arrrived, to the Crimson River Mountain in the Jiang region.

Either Dao Zheng would lose, or Xuan Yi would fall.

As the saying went, there was no first place in literature, and no second place in martial arts.

In everyone's eyes, the two of them were bound to compete for the top spot.

In the end, when the news reached the Middle Saint Academy, a number of Xuan Yi's disciples rushed over to Xuan Yi with the Recording Talisman they had bought from the information merchant.

“Dao Zheng is indeed unconvinced. He had announced in the Jiang region that he wants to challenge you!”

Xiao Hong's gaze was serious as he looked at Xuan Yi.

Xuan Yi nodded slightly. After looking at the Recording Talisman, his brows raised.

“Dao Zheng questioned my strength and announced that he wants to challenge me. Is it true that he wants to fight on the Crimson River Mountain?”

On the Recording Talisman, there was the image of Dao Zheng's final domineering move, severing the Crimson River Mountain with a single slash.

In the image, it was twirling and extending, where the aura seemed extraordinary.

However, in Xuan Yi's eyes, it was just average.

Dao Zheng's battle ability was at most at the early-staged of the Sage realm, but he was already infinitely close to the peak of the Sage realm. After brandishing his sword, the wind and clouds did not change in color.

Mountain slashing and river cleaving were all Xuan Yi's leftovers skills.

“Master, what do you plan to do?”

However, as everyone thought about it, if he really heads there, it would looked like he was being held by the nose by Dao Zheng, losing the initiative in the first step.

“Foolish clown, don't bother.”

“Don't bother with the gossip. It's all fake. As long as you're strong enough, do a slash.”

Xuan Yi snorted coldly and put down the Recording Talisman. He shook his head and ignored it.

To the current Xuan Yi, the battle prowess of an early-staged sage was just a matter of one strike. No matter how much he argued, it would only attract everyone's attention and heated discussion. So what?

If one were to meet a true stronger individual, a single sword strike would sufficient!

Moreover, from the start to the end, Xuan Yi did not even care about the Yuan Board.
