"Jumping clowns." At this moment, Li Lin felt several gazes constantly watching him. Turning his head, he saw Huang Hu and a few others casting a cold aura over him. To these people, Li Lin merely regarded them as jumping clowns. It must be Zhao Wuji's disciples targeting him on purpose. If they really provoked him, then it would be their bad luck. With his master Yu Yu in advance, at least within the Yunyang Sect, he didn't need to worry about Zhao Wuji.

Huang Hu and the others, watching Li Lin and showing a cold look, their eyes turned even colder, then they lowered their heads and whispered, seemingly discussing something.

"Boom boom..." At this moment, on the square, two shadows collided, and the sound of the collision echoed through the space.

Li Lin watched the two exchange blows. Their strengths were not much different, and it was hard to predict the winner. From these three bouts, Li Lin had some understanding of the strength levels among the younger generation of direct disciples.

Generally, the strength of the younger generation of direct disciples was mostly at the Martial Soul level. To reach the Dragon List level, at least a double Martial Soul level was required.

Those ranked forty to fifty on the Dragon List were probably at the triple Martial Soul and double Martial Soul levels, while those ranked thirty to forty should be at the five Martial Soul and four Martial Soul levels.

Those ranked twenty to thirty on the Dragon List should have reached the six Martial Soul to seven Martial Soul levels, and those from tenth to twentieth were probably strong martial artists from seven Martial Soul to nine Martial Soul levels. The most terrifying must be the top ten, mostly at the Martial General level.

"The younger generation of disciples in the Yunyang Sect are really terrifying," Li Lin thought to himself.

"Bang bang!" A moment later, the fierce energy on the square burst open, and a young man in blue was directly knocked out of the ring.

"Qian Yang wins, advancing to rank forty-three on the Dragon List." As the enforcer announced the result, the winning young man happily stepped down.

Of the three bouts, the spectators undoubtedly felt that the match between Li Wushuang and Xiong Lanlan was the most exciting and visually enjoyable.

After the three matches, the crowd was also planning to disperse. Li Wushuang had previously informed Li Lin that there would be Dragon List matches at the Earth Dragon Summit every month, but there were only a few matches each time.

No one would challenge opponents just for fun after having a full meal. If one lost, with bad luck, although it wouldn't cost one's life, serious injuries were common. A serious injury required one to two months, or even half a year of recuperation, which would significantly impact one's cultivation. During this half-year, those who were initially not as strong as oneself could easily surpass one, which would be a loss.

Therefore, generally, direct disciples, even if you challenge them directly, they would find an excuse to decline, not competing with you at all, unless you apply for a challenge a month in advance, and then the enforcer notifies, only then they would have no choice but to accept the challenge.

Some extreme cases include when you challenge them, and they directly enter closed-door cultivation. Then, you have no way to force them to come out to accept your challenge during their cultivation.

Regarding challenges among direct disciples, the rules of the Yunyang Sect are not like those for ordinary disciples. If a challenge is not accepted, it is directly considered a forfeiture, and the rank is removed.

Challenges among direct disciples, even if a formal challenge is issued, can be excused by entering closed-door cultivation and can be postponed for half a year. After half a year, if the challenge is not accepted, according to the rules of the sect, the rank is directly removed and given to the challenger.

"Let's go," the crowd prepared to leave, and Li Wushuang also said to the people around him.

"Li Lin, I formally challenge you. Do you dare to accept? Haha, if you want to act like a turtle, then just shrink back. Anyway, no one from your sect has ever participated in the Earth Dragon Summit's matches." Just then, a loud laugh arose, not from anyone else but Huang Hu and a few others.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Li Lin was about to leave when he suddenly heard this challenge. Frowning, he saw Huang Hu laughing arrogantly in front of him, a cold aura directed at him.

All the disciples who were just about to leave stopped in their tracks upon hearing Huang Hu's challenge.

"Kid, what's wrong, don't you dare? If you like being a turtle, then roll away. I won't make it difficult for you. In the future, when you see me, just call me Grandpa, haha." Huang Hu looked at Li Lin with a sinister cold laugh.

"Haha, if he doesn't dare, he has to call us 'Second Grandpa' when he sees us," several disciples around him laughed.

"Huang Hu, you have the nerve. A four Martial Soul challenging a nine Martial Master, and still feeling proud, I'm embarrassed for you," Li Wushuang's expression darkened as she stepped forward and coldly stared at Huang Hu.

Huang Hu's face twitched slightly, then he said: "Wushuang junior sister, this has nothing to do with you. Isn't he a three-element martial artist? He even killed Wen Jue. Now that he's at the Earth Dragon Summit, is he scared?"

As Huang Hu's words fell, he looked at Li Lin again and coldly said: "Kid, are you just going to hide under a woman's skirts? If so, then continue hiding under a woman's skirts."

Li Lin looked indifferently at Huang Hu, his face showing little emotion, but Li Wushuang, Cui Yu, Du Gu Binglan, Yang Miao, and others beside him could feel the cold aura emanating from Li Lin.

"Lin'er, Huang Hu is at the four Martial Soul level, and you are a nine Martial Master. You don't need to pay attention to him," Li Wushuang hesitated and then said softly.

"Huang Hu, what kind of skill is this? If you have the guts, let me have a match with you," Du Gu Binglan's face sank slightly, and then she stepped forward and said coquettishly.

"Binglan junior sister, I wouldn't bear to hurt you if we fought. Let's forget it," Huang Hu laughed loudly, then looked at Li Lin again and said: "Kid, do you really intend to hide under women's skirts and not dare to stand up?"

"Jumping clowns, daring to make noise, you're not qualified to challenge me," Li Lin said indifferently. "However, today I'll indulge you. I'll bet two things with you. First, I bet on your rank thirty-six on the Dragon List. Second, if you lose, every time you see me, you'll call me Grandpa."

"Lin'er, Huang Hu is rank thirty-six on the Dragon List, his strength is strong. Don't act rashly. A man can bend and stretch. It's not too late to seek revenge when you're stronger," Li Wushuang immediately expressed her concern. Although she had seen Li Lin's strength, Huang Hu was a strong contender ranked thirty-five on the Dragon List, definitely formidable.

"Wushuang sister, the one who can bend and stretch is a turtle, not a man. Don't worry, a jumping clown, I don't take him seriously," Li Lin said with a light laugh.

At this moment, watching Li Lin, Huang Hu's expression darkened slightly, seemingly surprised that Li Lin would actually accept his challenge. Originally, they just planned to humiliate Li Lin, never expecting him to agree.

"What, are you scared now? If you're scared, then get far away from me," Li Lin said coldly.

"This Li Lin is really as arrogant as the rumors say."

"Isn't it just a nine Martial Master level cultivation? Huang Hu is ranked thirty-six on the Dragon List, among the direct disciples, he is absolutely strong. Li Lin's strength, can't possibly beat Huang Hu."

"If Li Lin wins against a four Martial Soul, especially against the thirty-sixth on the Dragon List, I'll cut off my head."

"But after all, Li Lin is a three-element martial artist, and the recent rumors are buzzing. He's probably not weak."

The watching direct disciples also started discussing again, most people not optimistic about Li Lin. Li Lin's talent is strong, which is undeniable, but talent and strength are not the same. In terms of strength, how could a nine Martial Master contend against a four Martial Soul, especially one ranked thirty-sixth on the Dragon List?

"Haha." Huang Hu's expression darkened, then he sneered and said: "Kid, this is what you asked for. I accept your challenge. However, if you lose, every time you see me, you'll call me Grandpa, and also, your Snow Winged Lion will belong to me."

"Huang Hu is really greedy, even wanting Li Lin's Snow Winged Lion. His Dragon List rank isn't worth a Snow Winged Lion."

Hearing Huang Hu's words, the crowd discussed again.

"Deal," Li Lin said coldly. Four Martial Soul, Dragon List strongman, so what? Back when he returned from the Ghost Martial Sect, at the five Martial Master level, he was able to kill the eight Martial Soul of the Jiu Hua Sect. Now, as a nine Martial Master, although he wasn't ready to fully reveal his strength, defeating Huang Hu wouldn't be difficult.

"Three enforcers, I wonder if there's any issue with us betting on the Dragon List ranking in our challenge?" Li Lin approached the three enforcers and asked with a slight bow, interested in the Dragon List ranking, which would mean more cultivation resources.

"As long as you both agree, it's naturally possible," the three enforcers said after looking at each other.

"Then, please bear witness," Li Lin said.

"That's naturally no problem," the three enforcers smiled and said. They had also heard about the recent turmoil caused by Li Lin in the Yunyang Sect. Now, seeing Li Lin, a nine Martial Master, daring to accept the challenge of a four Martial Soul, they too wanted to know the outcome.

"All the brothers and sisters present, please also bear witness with the three enforcers," Li Lin said with a light smile, looking at all the direct disciples around.

"Li Lin, go ahead. If anyone dares to cheat, I absolutely won't let them off. I, Iron Palm Mad Bull, will definitely stand up for you," a rough voice said in Li Lin's ear.
