Can I refuse?

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yuan asked this question.

The host nodded:

"Of course you can refuse!"

"Challenges can only be initiated from lower to higher rankings."

"So you have the right to refuse, or you can choose to agree!"

Listening to the discussions among the crowd below the stage, Lu Yuan came to two conclusions.

First, he already knew that Huang Feilong was a member of the military; what he cared about was the words "very strong."

Second, the opponent has two pets, one B-rank and one A-rank.

Or rather, the top five or even the top ten all have A-rank battle pets.

"Cowardly as a mouse, you're scared of a single cut?"

Luo Qingguo, who was watching from the stands, had another episode.

Luo Qingcheng glared fiercely at Luo Qingguo.

"Shut up! Your mouth will get you into trouble sooner or later. Go ahead and try to challenge me if you dare!"

Just when everyone thought Lu Yuan would refuse, ...

"I see. Then I choose to accept the challenge!"

The referee nodded, about to announce something, when he suddenly realized that Lu Yuan had said "accept," not "reject"!

Immediately, everyone started talking about it again.

Phrases like "the younger generation is to be feared" and "overestimating one's abilities" are used to describe this phenomenon.

Some people liked it, while others disliked it, but Lu Yuan didn't care.

"Wang Tianhu, here are all the Soul Crystals the team has. Take them and place your bets."

Gong Yuehan, who was participating in another competition, took out all the funds from the team, including all of his own personal funds.

The plan was to hand it over to Wang Tianhu to place the bets and then buy Lu Yuanying.

Wang Tianhu gave a wry smile.

He recounted what had happened.

Gong Yuehan and the others were as dejected as eggplants after a frost; such a good way to make money was gone.

It's such a pity.

On the other side of the ring, there were two other people standing there, who had just returned from where they had placed their bets.

These two people were none other than Ye Shengnian and Liu Wuqing.

"Damn, that's rubbish, they actually canceled the betting odds."

"I was planning to buy two hundred soul crystals, but look how frustrating it is!"

Looking at Liu Wuqing, who was shaking his head, Ye Shengnian asked in confusion:

"Are you really planning to bet on Lu Yuanying?"

Liu Wuqing shrugged:

"Of course, I believe he's very capable!"

"It's a pity I can't place any bets anymore. Luckily, I made a profit by betting 100 Soul Crystals before, otherwise I would have lost a lot!"

On the arena, Huang Feilong and Lu Yuan stood facing each other.

Neither of them made a move immediately.

"How do you want to compete? A pointless contest or a fight to the death?"

As Lu Yuan asked the question, he stroked Bai Ling in his arms.

Huang Feilong raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that after he had already mentioned having an A-rank battle beast, they would still ask such a question.

Could it be that there's a backup plan?

"Mr. Wang, how would you like to compete?"

Huang Feilong passed the ball to Lu Yuan again.

The main reason was that he couldn't figure him out either, because Lu Yuan was too calm.

"Owning an A-rank pet isn't easy. I think it's best if one side is completely powerless or just admits defeat."

"After all, we have no grudges or grievances, so let's stop here. I'm afraid that if the losses are too great, I'll run into trouble."

Lu Yuan's words were rather ambiguous.

First, he explained his point of view: there was no enmity between the two, so there was no need for them to fight to the death.

Secondly, if I kill your pet, the people behind you might cause me trouble.

I, Lu Yuan, don't like this kind of trouble.

This is what Lu Yuan meant; it wasn't that he couldn't win, but that he was afraid of getting into trouble.

Huang Feilong's lips twitched.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood what the other person meant.

However, Lu Yuan is right. The two have no grudges against each other, so there is no need to fight to the death.

Most importantly, he was sent by the military to test Lu Yuan's strength.

In other words, the person behind him has taken a liking to this Wang Dahu and wants to win him over.

Another point is that this person is very powerful. If we really offend him and he joins another faction, wouldn't we be doing all the work for someone else?

Having figured this out, Huang Feilong decisively nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Luo Qingguo once again uttered something utterly thoughtless:

"Sis, this guy chickened out. He's afraid his pet will get hurt."

Luo Qingcheng shook her head slightly:

"You're wrong, he just doesn't want to offend the military!"

"You'll see!"

After the two finished their discussion and the referee had acted impartially, the match began.

"Fire Lion Slayer, Azure Thunder Dragon, come forth!"

Huang Feilong waved his hand, and two pets appeared beside him.

"Azure Thunder Dragon, S-rank potential, currently A-rank?"

Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched. He hadn't expected that Huang Feilong would also have a Azure Thunder Dragon!

"You have some sense. It's not too late for you to admit defeat."

As Huang Feilong spoke, he looked at his pet with a smug expression.

Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand:

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood me!"

"What I mean is, I wanted to ask you, where did you get this Azure Thunder Dragon?"

In fact, Lu Yuan was just curious.

After all, he once owned two Azure Thunder Dragon pet eggs, the ones he gave to Zhao Qiang and Lin Feng.

Previously, the first secret realm Lu Yuan ventured into was the one where he encountered the Devouring Python guarding the Azure Thunder Dragon pet egg.

Previously, Lu Yuan had wondered why, if the secret realm belonged to the Azure Thunder Flood Dragon, it would leave behind two pet eggs and have the Devouring Python guard them.

He wondered where he had gone, so he guessed that Huang Feilong, the Azure Thunder Dragon, was likely the one that had left from that secret realm.

So it's true that he was curious.

But Huang Feilong didn't think so.

He thought Lu Yuan probably also wanted to have such a cool pet.

After all, the Azure Thunder Dragon has the potential to be S-rank; who wouldn't be envious?

Therefore, Huang Feilong directly refused to answer this question.

Lu Yuan shrugged indifferently and then began to give orders.

No, it should be communication and discussion, because Bai Ling is a very eccentric person, plus Lu Yuan's doting on him.

So the following conversation ensued.

Lu Yuan: Bai Ling, are you going to deal with the Azure Thunder Dragon or the Fire Slaughter Lion?

Bai Ling: Master, the Azure Thunder Dragon is an A-rank, I'm afraid I can't beat it.

Lu Yuan: Then go ahead and hit me...

Bai Ling: But if you let me eat it, I might be able to beat you.

Lu Yuan: No! This person is from the military; we can't go too far.

Bai Ling: Then I can't beat them, hmph!

Lu Yuan: ...

Lu Yuan was utterly speechless.

"One-Horned Wolf King, come out!"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yuan summoned the Unicorn Wolf King to the arena.

The appearance of the One-Horned Wolf King stunned everyone.

"It's actually an A-rank Unicorn Wolf King!"

"My God, he really did have a backup plan. How did he do that?"

At this moment, a murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd; it was truly unexpected.

End of chapter!
