Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1944: Blocked and Forced to Fight! Ye Ruofeng! Let’s Battle Directly!

Mu Jinyu thought this way and soon left the mountain range, heading towards the Scripture Pavilion.

As he reached the plaza where the Scripture Pavilion was located, he saw a group of students who had been whispering. Upon seeing him, they instantly ceased their discussions.

Afterwards, they looked at Mu Jinyu with hostile gazes.

Their eyes seemed eager to tear him apart.

Mu Jinyu had just arrived here and didn’t hear the full extent of their discussions.

However, he faintly heard some of their interrupted words earlier, suggesting that they wanted to capture him and deliver him to the two royal clans.

In any case, it was all complaints.

They felt implicated by him, suffering unjust disaster, unable to peacefully focus on their cultivation.

It’s just as Chu Huannian mentioned.

These people only bully the weak and fear the strong.

They dare not blame the visiting royal clans but instead blame him, the victim.

Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly, unwilling to stoop to their level, and prepared to head to the Scripture Pavilion.

"Swish!!"

However, though Mu Jinyu wanted to ignore them, someone refused to let him go. Just as he was about to enter the Scripture Pavilion, a figure flashed past and blocked his path.

"Hmm?"

Mu Jinyu frowned discontentedly.

The person blocking his way was a young man dressed in Intermediate Student attire, wearing a proud expression and looking at Mu Jinyu with disdain, coldly ordering:

"You are Mu Jinyu?!"

"The culprit who caused the two royal clans to unite against our Dongyue Mansion?"

"The sinner responsible for the death of many mentors and the Institute Head?"

"How do you still have the face to live? How dare you come to the Scripture Pavilion?"

"If I were you, I would have already died!"

"Or personally gone to the royal clans’ territory to let them deal with me!"

"How thick-skinned can you be? Not taking anything seriously?"

"..."

The person spoke with righteous indignation, causing those around to nod, feeling that Mu Jinyu should die rather than bring disaster to them!

However, not everyone shared the courage of this Intermediate Student to speak to a Senior Student this way.

Thus, the surrounding students could only secretly nod along, but none dared speak up in agreement.

After listening to this person’s chiding, Mu Jinyu was momentarily stunned, but quickly reacted, chuckling: "Interesting, what’s your name?"

"Hmph, are you at a loss for words? Furious with shame? You can’t argue, so you want revenge? I’m not afraid of you, don’t think I’ll fear you just because you’re a Senior Student. I’m Ye Ruofeng, ranked first among Intermediate Students. Do you think a newly promoted Senior Student like you is stronger than me?"

Ye Ruofeng spoke arrogantly.

He didn’t put Mu Jinyu in his eyes at all.

Mu Jinyu was a bit surprised by his words.

He hadn’t expected this guy to be quite capable, being the first among Intermediate Students.

Normally, the top Intermediate Student naturally has the confidence to look down on ordinary Senior Students.

They are often not inferior to regular Senior Students. It’s just that they might not rush to be promoted due to lackluster rewards from tasks or to maintain the high academic credits of being the top Intermediate Student.

If Mu Jinyu’s batch, which was promoted through the Selection Conference, faced Ye Ruofeng’s provocation, they would feel both grievance and helplessness.

Because they’d likely be evenly matched or even inferior to Ye Ruofeng!

However, this applies to encounters between ordinary Senior Students and Ye Ruofeng.

But is Mu Jinyu an ordinary Senior Student?

Of course not!

He’s already the top among Senior Students!

Confronting Mu Jinyu, Ye Ruofeng is asking for a beating!

Therefore, after hearing Ye Ruofeng’s challenge, Mu Jinyu’s surprise flashed in his eyes, and his gaze towards Ye Ruofeng became increasingly amused.

He lightly asked, "So, are you preparing to challenge me?"

"Yes!"

Ye Ruofeng stood with his hands behind his back, presenting the demeanor of a master, nodding gently: "That’s right!"

"After all, although you’ve made a mistake, committed a big error, forcing you to surrender isn’t quite right. So we’ll have a duel. If you lose, you’ll take responsibility for everything personally, instead of causing trouble for us ordinary students!"

Listening to Ye Ruofeng’s words, Mu Jinyu found him quite amusing and said with a smile, "What if you lose? Will you substitute for me, go to the two royal clans’ territory, and commit suicide?"

"I won’t lose to you!"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s teasing, Ye Ruofeng was instantly infuriated and loudly retorted.

After speaking, he felt it wasn’t appropriate and lacked grace, so he added, "I won’t lose. Even if I do, the wager you mentioned is meaningless. The royals know you. My death wouldn’t resolve the issue!"

"Find another condition!"

Mu Jinyu thought for a moment, noticing that this guy was a bit silly with a profound respect for the royal clans. He wasn’t intentionally targeting him, just trying to resolve the incident.

So, betting lives wouldn’t make sense.

"Then if you lose, just kneel at the Scripture Pavilion entrance for a day."

Mu Jinyu casually suggested.

Not wanting to engage further with Ye Ruofeng.

However, upon hearing the conditions, Ye Ruofeng nearly jumped up in anger, glaring at Mu Jinyu with humiliation and scolding: "Are you deliberately insulting me?"

"Yes, indeed!"

Mu Jinyu nodded indifferently, nodding as if it were natural: "You’re forcing me to die; why wouldn’t I insult you?"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s response, Ye Ruofeng was momentarily stunned, realizing it seemed logical!

Then, Mu Jinyu continued: "Moreover, daring enough to challenge me, aren’t you confident of winning? Do you think you’re bound to lose, so you hesitate to accept the terms?"

"Who says I’m bound to lose?!"

Ye Ruofeng retorted angrily upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words.

Originally considering the wager unreasonable, he now, motivated by fury, agreed immediately.

"Fine, I’ll duel you!"

Upon finishing this, he stepped forward, heading towards the Scripture Pavilion’s exit, "Let’s go to the Combat Platform! I, Ye Ruofeng, will disgrace you today!"

Mu Jinyu didn’t move, lightly saying: "Why waste time? I don’t have time to waste with you. Let’s begin right here!"

"Right here?" Ye Ruofeng stopped, surprised as he looked at Mu Jinyu, "The Academy’s rules prohibit private battles; they must occur at the Combat Platform!"

Mu Jinyu impatiently replied: "You’re forcing me to die and care for these trifling rules? Or should I act first? You don’t need to worry; I’ll bear the punishment!"

Before Ye Ruofeng could respond, Mu Jinyu acted straight away, unleashing a punch towards Ye Ruofeng!
