"Haha, Mr. Lin didn't mention it and I almost forgot, yes, there is a duel to be fought. I originally wanted to make a bet with Mr. Lin, but unfortunately, Mr. Lin seems to be afraid. Unfortunately, in half a month, I will go to the Seven Mysteries Valley to pay respects to the Third Elder of the Hehuan Sect, Ouyang Boyan. Elder Ouyang wants to assess me as an official disciple, and I'm afraid I won't have time to duel with Mr. Lin then. If I'm lucky enough to gain Elder Ouyang's favor, I may even need to stay in the Seven Mysteries Valley for a long time. If Mr. Lin insists on fighting me, it can only be done within this half month. I wonder if Mr. Lin dares?"

  Zhang Guanyu always had a smile on his face, he had already thought of the next layout, with great confidence to force Lin Ming to challenge him within half a month. In this way, he was confident that he could use the extremely poisonous moves such as "Absolute Life White Bone Sword" in "He Huan Shen Gong" to severely injure and disable Lin Ming, making him never have anything to do with martial arts again!

  "Fighting me is the stupidest decision you've ever made in your life, you're just a 15-year-old kid, I'll make you regret being born!"

  "The woman who was once taken away to be refined as a furnace, fell from the altar of genius, lost her martial arts, lost her loved ones, lost her parents, and was expelled from the family. When that time comes, I'll do whatever I want to you, I'll break your limbs, raise you like a pig in the pigsty of the mansion, feed you the same food as pigs every day, and make all the women around you and beside you mine. I'll make you wish you were dead, begging me to kill you, hahahaha!"

  Zhang Guanyu envisioned the miserable future of Lin Ming in his heart, and a sinister smile spread from the corner of his mouth. What he wanted was not just to get rid of Lin Ming, but to make him live a life worse than that of pigs and dogs.

  Everyone present felt that Zhang Guanyu was treacherous after hearing his words. At this time, there was still a month and a half before the scheduled four-month period of Qi Xuan Valley. Coincidentally, Zhang Guanyu went to visit Ouyang Bodayan exactly half a month later. This was likely part of his plan.

  He was probably aware that he wouldn't win the battle half a month later, so he forced Lin Ming to duel with him within half a month.

  Many people in the audience knew about Ou Yang Bo Yan and Ou Yang Di Hua's relationship, they heard Zhang Guan Yu say that and looked at Ou Yang Di Hua, Ou Yang Di Hua slightly nodded, which confirmed the news.

  "This Guan Yu doesn't know what means he used to move Ouyang Bo Yan, at this time he should be tested as a nominal disciple."

  "This move is very unglorious, Zhang Guanyu seems to be afraid of Lin Ming. This has already lost the momentum."

  "What about the momentum of defeat? It's still better than being defeated in front of everyone, as long as we can win against Lin Ming, our 'qi' will flow smoothly, and with our 'qi' flowing smoothly, our cultivation won't be hindered too much. I think Zhang Guanyu is setting up a trap, just waiting for Lin Ming to fall into it."

  "Lin Ming is a ruthless person. Zhang Guanyu isn't someone to be trifled with either, and when facing Lin Ming, he has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve. If I were to face Lin Ming, I would have been defeated long ago, just waiting to admit defeat."

  "I don't know how Lin Ming will face this. This is going to be interesting."

  "Lin Ming estimated that he would have to hold his breath and continue, as his previous Wan Jian Array assessment was only sixth. Sixth place is too far from the top three, it's not even on the same level. Wanting to catch up in just half a month, even Lin Ming wouldn't be able to do it, let alone Zhang Guanyu who had cultivated the 'He Huan Shen Gong', how could his strength not have improved?"

  "Hmm... I think so too."

  Junjie was discussing in private within the courtyard.

  Lin Ming smiled slightly, covered the teacup in his hand and said: "Within half a month? Actually, it doesn't need to be half a month. Let's not choose a date, let's just go today. How about we head to the school arena right now?"

  "Huh?"

  Zhang Guanyu was shocked in his heart.

  Is Lin Ming crazy? Is he going to duel him now?

  Lin Ming said this, and all the guests in the venue were stunned, including Yang Lin, Wang Yuhan, Qin Xingxuan and others, who were also unexpected.

  Lin Ming had just taken the Million Kill Array assessment not long ago, and his score was sixth. Although this score is already legendary, it's still far behind Zhang Gongyu! Lin Ming absolutely cannot catch up in just a few days.

  "What is Lin Ming trying to do? He's simply asking for death by doing this."

  "Is choosing a date not as good as forcing a date? Lin Ming really doesn't put Zhang Guanyu in his eyes. Lin Ming is too arrogant, he has talent, but after all, he's still young and immature, with so many halos on him, he's already blinded by his own eyes, his confidence inflated, thinking he's invincible among the younger generation, this time he's going to fall flat on his face."

  "If this fall is not handled properly, it may be impossible to get up again. Zhang Guanyu will definitely make a ruthless move! He'll probably seize the opportunity and beat Lin Ming so badly that he'll be crippled for life and never recover."

  "Lin Ming probably still doesn't know how big the gap is between ranking third and fourth, he thinks sixth place is close to third, this four-month deadline for challenging Zhang Guanyu was set by the Seventh Master of the Wu Xuan Martial Arts School, what kind of eyesight does he have, the time limit he set can't be casually changed, now there are only two and a half months left, Lin Ming wants to challenge Zhang Guanyu, it's too rash."

  The last one to speak was Shi Si's fourth disciple, who knew very well that he would not be as good as Lin Ming in the future, but now it had only been a few days since Lin Ming's last assessment, and Lin Ming's strength might not have caught up with him yet, let alone Zhang Guanyu.

  People were discussing, and many of the young elites in Tianyun City had some jealous thoughts about Lin Ming. They couldn't wait to see Lin Ming being severely injured by Zhang Guanyu, unable to pass the Seven Wu Academy assessment, or even having his meridians damaged, becoming physically disabled, and affecting his future cultivation.

  "Brother Lin, think thrice!" The crown prince, who was closest to Lin Ming, pressed down on Lin Ming's arm and transmitted his voice: "Don't let emotions get the better of you. If a fight really breaks out, Zhang Guanyu will definitely use heavy-handed tactics. Especially now that he has Ouyang Yuhua backing him up, even if he goes too far, he won't receive too severe a punishment. This will only make him more reckless and arrogant, and he might even resort to killing!"

  High hands pass through, especially when the strength is similar, each move is desperate and very dangerous. If someone is really injured or even killed, the Seven Xuanwu Sect will not punish them, at most they will be expelled from the sect and sent to the army as a punishment, but for Zhang Guanyu, this kind of punishment doesn't count as anything.

  Lin Mingdao said: "Your Highness. I have a plan in mind, and my strength has improved over the past few days. Even if I can't beat Zhang Guanyu, I am confident that I can retreat unharmed."

  As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, the true yuan transmission sounds of Wang Yuhan, Bai Jingyun, and Qin Xingxuan sounded in his ears one after another, all with similar meanings, unanimously advising Lin Ming not to act impulsively.

  Lin Ming stood up and smiled slightly at the three girls, indicating that he was fine.

  Everyone present is not an ordinary person, their vision is actually very accurate, they think that's right. If Lin Ming was really just the sixth of Wan Sha Array, he would indeed not be able to catch up with Zhang Guanyu in half a month.

  But Lin Ming initially only sought to be in the top ten in the Million Kill Array, after getting enough points, Lin Ming found a master of the Condensation Period and began to hone his strength. If it were truly a ranking by strength alone, he might not be inferior to Zhang Guanyu.

  Moreover, during these few days, Lin Ming's evil spirit power has greatly increased. The Dou Zhan seal was successfully imprinted on his body, and along with it, his cultivation of the Silk and the Chaotic True Primordial Art also made breakthroughs. His increase in strength is by no means small.

  Even if he still can't beat Zhang Guanyu, he won't be beaten to the point of being crippled and retreating with severe injuries.

  Zhang Guanyu sneered and smiled, thinking to himself: "Since you want to die, I won't stop you. Becoming famous at a young age isn't necessarily a good thing. When one's heart is not yet settled, their actions are still childish, making it easy for them to die prematurely. Heh heh, I had originally thought of a plan to provoke you into challenging me within half a month, but now it seems that won't be necessary. You fool, you can't even wait half a month! You're so eager to live in a pigsty, and since that's the case, I'll instruct my underlings to pour pig urine into your pen and fill it with pig dung, treating you to a warm welcome!"

  Thinking of this, Zhang Guanyu no longer concealed the murderous intent in his eyes, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. "Why wait for a good day when we can just rush into it? Heroes have always emerged from among young men. You seem to think you've already won, don't you? In that case, why not go out now and let me experience Mr. Lin's moves!"

  "I was just thinking the same thing." Lin Ming smiled and said, "Right, Zhang Gongzi, in a fight to the death, we will inevitably go all out and it's hard to avoid accidentally hurting each other..."

  Zhang Guanyu smiled slyly, "Is Mr. Lin afraid? Don't worry, I'll show you my true strength."

  Of course I'll hold back, otherwise I might accidentally kill you with one blow, and that wouldn't be fun at all.

  Lin Ming smiled and said, "No, no, I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that if I accidentally hurt Zhang Gongzi, it won't be good to explain to the United Chamber of Commerce. Our Lin family is a small clan, we can't afford to offend a powerful force like the United Chamber of Commerce."

  Lin Ming said so, and everyone in the scene had a very colorful expression.

  "He... what did he say? Afraid of accidentally offending Zhang Guanyu and having trouble explaining it to the Chamber of Commerce?"

  "This Lin Ming is too arrogant!"

  "He really doesn't know the word 'death' is written, and now he still wants to provoke Zhang Guanyu. If Zhang Guanyu doesn't come up with a sinister move soon, it would be strange! I've heard that the moves of the Hehuan Sect are notorious for being sinister!"

  Most of the outstanding people present have an extraordinary vision and a certain understanding of the He Huan Zong's kung fu.

  Zhang Guanyu burst out laughing, "Lin Ming ah Lin Ming, you say that and I'm actually a bit scared, afraid of being hurt by you if I'm not careful, haha, so what do you think we should do?"

  Zhang Guanyu's tone was clearly sarcastic, but Lin Ming didn't seem to notice. He thought for a moment and smiled: "Why don't we make a pact of life and death? That way, if someone gets hurt or crippled, they can't be held responsible."
