The Legend of Li Yuan
Open Challenge

The next morning, the disciples of the Laohu Sect were already preparing to attend the Sect tournament. On this occasion, each Pavilion sent its five best disciples. Yet out of the nine Pavilions, only Pavilion Elder Bao Zi alone did not send a representative.

Li Tong and the others were already on the threshold, their strength was already at the Sky Swordsman realm. This qualification has exceeded the standard requirements of students to enter the tournament.

Forty students will participate in the tournament. There are four groups of ten people per group. They were the chosen disciples who would earn great rewards if they won the competition.

At this moment, thousands of Sect disciples had already started entering the martial field, they looked extremely enthusiastic. On the front row there were nine elders present, plus the whereabouts of Li Tong and his three friends.

Beside Elder Bao Zi, there appeared a young man who was sitting quietly. His face looked very handsome, his physique also looked sturdy and taller than most disciples.

"Who is that young man?"

"It looks like I just saw that guy"

"The young man was so presumptuous"

Various voices started to sound in the mouths of the disciples. Most of them did not know Li Yuan, as this was the first time he had appeared to the public since becoming a disciple of the Laohu Sect.

At first Li Yuan refused to present himself, let alone be in the midst of the Elders. But after hearing his teacher's request, he couldn't refuse it. Moreover, the relationship of the Li Clan and the Laohu Sect was no longer a secret. As the son of the Patriarch of the Li Clan, at least his existence in the Laohu Sect would dismiss various skewed accusations to the Sect.

Jia Hien stared at Li Yuan's figure, the information that Nu Nian had just said he could see for himself. The progress of the Li Clan that was beyond his expectations embarrassed him, with his position as the son of the Patriarch of the Li Clan then Li Yuan deserved to be betrothed to the daughter of the Governor of the Blue Dragon Province.

Imagining him who was no longer pure, really made him embarrassed and several times inedible words while still in Huanxie City. At this moment, his entire body became trembling. The sky seemed to darken instantly, as dark as his heart.

"What do you think? What I told you is reality. He is the same man we met in Nanguan City" Nu Nian said from the side.

While Nu Hume watched closely. He still looked at Li Yuan while doing the analysis.

"Let's take a good look, all the Elders, even the Patriarch, don't seem to dare to speak much. Everyone looked at Li Yuan, it seemed that the young man was indeed very unnatural" Nu Hume said.

Jia Hien could not say, it was true what Nu Hume had said. The Patriarch and Elder Bao Zi who possessed the most strength were like helpless before Li Yuan. Though it was very clear if Li Yuan was only at the level of Swordsman King.

At the time when they were discussing, one of the Elders was passing on the rules of the tournament.

"Match is done by means of a power struggle of each participant, each group will produce five winners or half of the number of participants in the preliminary round. In the semi-final round, twenty participants will return to compete and produce the best five participants. For the final round, five participants will challenge each other to get the top position. In this match it is forbidden to kill each other and take revenge on each other".

Everyone who heard already understood about the rules that have just been conveyed. Every year the rules of the game are still the same, the participants are still partly the same. They were disciples who had participated in the tournament before.

At this tournament, three disciples from the Liu Clan also participated. The three qualified to compete, it could even be that they would become the favorite champions other than Jia Hien and Cheng Han.

A moment before the Elder ended his speech, Liu Shimin suddenly said.

"Sorry Elder, why didn't Pavilion Bao Zi send his representative? Though at this moment clearly visible presence of his student"

"Did the Bao Zi Pavilion only raise losers?" added Liu Xin with a provocative remark.

Immediately a boisterous voice echoed in the martial field. They shouted for Li Yuan to participate, they wanted Li Yuan to join the party.

An Elder standing on the stage could do little to win the sound wave. Spontaneously he turned towards Li Yuan to find out his response.

Watching his name being called, Li Yuan slightly sighed. He did not think that the words of Liu Shimin and his two brothers could provoke thousands of people.

But the problem has arrived like this, avoiding will only worsen the atmosphere.

"You don't mind them, calm down" Li Tong said trying to calm down.

"It seems that I do have to provide a little entertainment" Li Yuan said calmly.

But all the higher-ups of the Laohu Sect were sweating coldly after Li Yuan said that. Especially Patriarch Bao Xiong's face looked very bad. The Liu Shimin brothers had been under his tutelage all along, even though they had just changed their status but as the Sect Chief's personal disciples were still not completely separated.

"Alright, I agreed to enter this tournament" Li Yuan said as he stood up and cupped his hands. Then he said back.

"Because it's sudden, I haven't prepared everything"

"Huuu... "

"Huuu... "

Suddenly there was a flutter and cheers from the audience.

"It turns out he's a coward"

"His prestige was when dealing with a group of black roses turned out to be fake"

Various swearing began to come out from the mouths of the disciples, making Liu Shimin and his two brothers laugh with satisfaction.

"I mean, I don't have time to fight you guys. If I can, I want to fight you all at once. Make this year's tournament a little different from the previous year, how about?" li Yuan's voice was quite loud, slowly sounding in the ears of the disciples.

"It's so arrogant" roared Liu Shimin with a mocking expression.

"How's Chief?" li Yuan asked politely.

"I.. These.. It could be, as long as all the participants don't mind" Patriarch Bao Xiong replied nervously.

Right now, he was only thinking if the fate of those three members of the Liu Clan was already outlined. Three former students of his own who he took wholehearted care of for several years. But it was their own fault that they were looking for trouble with Li Yuan, even himself who as the Sect Leader of Laohu had great respect for Li Yuan. Even with his strength he was still no match for Li Yuan.
