X-Dragon Era

Faced with Xin Yun's challenge, the Top Ten Chiefs were first stunned, then sneered with disdain, saying frankly that they didn't have much confidence in the challenges from Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, but when it came to Xin Yun, in their opinion, they could beat him with one eye closed and one hand tied behind their back, using just one hand and one leg; after all...

they were the strongest ones who had eliminated hundreds of classmates each!

While mocking Xin Yun, the Top Ten Chiefs immediately accepted Xin Yun's challenge without hesitation. If it were someone else, they might have been able to decline on the grounds of qualification, but Xin Yun was a chief after all, and unless they could defeat him directly, excuses about not being qualified wouldn't work.

Seeing that the ten chiefs had accepted his challenge, a spark of excitement flashed in Xin Yun's eyes. Meanwhile, behind Xin Yun, Ke Zhan licked his lips excitedly, and Speedy Slash clenched his fists tightly.

Within their class, the rankings had already lost suspense; Ke Zhan would definitely not challenge Xin Yun, nor would Speedy Slash challenge Ke Zhan because defeat was certain. Everyone was very clear about this; with no chance of even a fluke, why bother issuing a challenge?

However, neither Ke Zhan nor Speedy Slash believed that all strong fighters were like Xin Yun. After losing to Xin Yun, they were both eager to challenge other strong fighters to prove their own strength.

Especially under Xin Yun's exemplary lead, it stirred up their inner wildness and desire to fight. Under everyone's gaze, the two simultaneously leaped out, imitating Xin Yun's actions, and pointed at the Top Ten Chiefs unabashedly, roaring, "I, Ke Zhan (Speedy Slash), challenge you, you, you... you! Have you the courage to accept?"

Although Xin Yun's challenge was accepted, when faced with the challenges from Ke Zhan and Speedy Slash, the Top Ten Chiefs refused them all at once. There was a consensus; the second and third seat did not qualify to challenge them. If they wanted to challenge the Chiefs, they would have to become chiefs themselves; other than their classmates, they would only accept challenges from chiefs!

In the face of rejection, Ke Zhan and Speedy Slash nearly gnashed their teeth in frustration, yet they were helpless. The others had pride, but it was justified pride—if they had to accept challenges from everyone, they would be exhausted to death.

For a moment, both men looked towards Xin Yun with a bitter gaze, thinking, why does such a freak exist, and why put him in Class Eleven!

Now that everything was finally settled, Yi Luo Xiang clapped her hands and crisply said, "Alright, since everyone has agreed, let's arrange the matches. Starting from now until the end of this month, there are exactly 30 days. I, Yan Qingying, and Xin Yun will send one person to fight each day. The three of us together make 30 matches."

Facing Yi Luo Xiang's arrangements, all the chiefs expressed their approval. After all... they weren't only accepting challenges from three people, but also from other chiefs and classmates. These challenges could not be refused.

Soon, everything was arranged. Every day after school in the afternoon, everyone would compete in the First Year Section's grand arena. One match per day for a total of 30 days insured that no matter the outcome, a night's rest wouldn't delay the day's other fights.

Once everything was in order, everyone dispersed. At the classroom door, Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying waited for Xin Yun, and the three gathered to discuss.

Flanking Xin Yun on each side, Yi Luo Xiang excitedly said, "Your method is really brilliant. As long as you can defeat them one by one, you can come to our Colorful Class One, and then we can sit together in class every day."

In response to Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun smiled and shook his head, "No, I won't join any class. I will only stay in the Extra Class Eleven, so... I will lose all ten challenges."

"Ah! Why?" Yi Luo Xiang exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Xin Yun's words.

Responding to Yi Luo Xiang's question, Xin Yun shrugged and explained, "It's close to the water pool there. If I switch to another class, it won't be so easy, especially if it's Colorful Class One. Then, it would be hard to go underground to train at will."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang suddenly realized. The other classes were too far, and although Colorful Class One was closer and accessible through Crescent Bend, it was too open; if Xin Yun transformed into a dragon, he'd likely be immediately noticed by everyone.

But... if Xin Yun knew he was going to lose, why did he insist on challenging? With just a little thought, the two girls quickly understood. It wasn't for anything else but the challenge itself, to gain practical experience, just as Xin Yun had said. Such an opportunity, one you couldn't buy even with money, could not be missed!

Although Xin Yun would lose, both girls knew that even in defeat, it would be after defeating his opponent and then voluntarily admitting defeat rather than being beaten by his opponent. There was a big difference. If defeated outright, it would mean a true loss, which to the proud Xin Yun was unacceptable.

A man's most important qualities are his confidence and pride. One may lack arrogance, but one cannot lack the spirit of pride, a saying Xin Yun often uttered. So... how could he tolerate being directly defeated? If he was to lose... it would only be after a victory and choosing to concede.
