Ye Li looked at Zhao Wanyin, then at Zhang Xun in the distance, his eyes gleamed with a hint of pride, and he said, "I will know my limits. If he wants to cut off my hands and feet, it depends on whether he has the ability to do so."
Zhao Wanyin nodded and said, "Anyway, just be careful."
After the two of them talked, Ye Li found a place to sit down and waited quietly for the arrangement of the competition.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door toward the arena was opened, and deafening cheers and applause spread into the hall.
At the same time, a man covered in blood was carried out, and behind him there was another man who was also covered in wounds, but was smiling particularly proudly.
Ye Li took a look and knew that these two people should be the talisman masters who had just fought outside. Looking at the wounds on their bodies, Ye Li knew that the battle here was more intense than he had imagined.
"Feng Li, it's your turn, follow me."
Zhao Wanyin called Ye Li over.
Ye Li took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, and followed Zhao Wanyin towards the gate not far away. Zhang Xun and Zhu Tingyu were already waiting at the door.
Standing next to the gate, Ye Li finally saw the scene outside. A huge stone arena as tall as a person was lying not far away.
The stands surrounded the entire ring, and where he was standing at this moment was also under a stand.
However, there were many rune formations in the surrounding walls, which blocked out a lot of sound, so before opening the door, the noise he could hear was not strong.
At this time, the stands were already full of people. Thousands of people had excited smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be still savoring the intense fight that had just taken place.
A middle-aged man on the stage took a look at the situation on Ye Li's side, and then said to the audience excitedly: "The next group is a battle of the Gathering Spirit Stage. First, we welcome Lei Dao, who has a record of seven consecutive victories. He is also the representative of the Zhu's Chamber of Commerce."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Dao looked at Ye Li provocatively, then walked out of the door and headed towards the arena.
The audience around seemed to be very familiar with him. When they saw him enter, they all showed excited expressions and cheered loudly.
"'Limb-chopping thunder', are you going to take your opponent's hand or foot today? A match without bloodshed is boring."
The host looked at Lei Dao who walked onto the stage and spoke loudly.
The audience around him seemed to be aroused by his words and had bloodthirsty desires in their hearts. They showed cruel and excited expressions on their faces and shouted loudly the three words "limb-breaking thunder".
Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm had been aroused, the host continued, "His opponent is recommended by the Zhao Chamber of Commerce as usual. His name is Feng Li. We welcome this new warrior.
I don’t know if he can stop Lei Dao or become another stepping stone on Lei Dao’s winning streak.”
As he spoke, Ye Li also walked out of the door and slowly walked towards the arena.
When the audience saw him come on stage, they booed collectively.
Zhao Wanyin frowned and glanced at the host on the stage, then said to Zhu Tingyu who looked smug beside her: "Zhu Tingyu, is this host one of yours? He actually promoted Lei Dao before the match!"
Zhu Tingyu glanced at Zhao Wanyin with a haughty look and said, "It doesn't matter if he is my man or not. In order to mobilize the emotions of the audience, there is nothing wrong with the host creating an atmosphere on the stage. You can't afford to lose, can you? Hahahaha!"
Zhu Tingyu's harsh laughter made Zhao Wanyin's face even uglier.
The one-sided shouting on the field did not affect Ye Li's pace. He had been ridiculed and booed too much since he was a child, so he no longer took it seriously.
Standing on the ring, Ye Li and Zhang Xun looked at each other, one with a calm look, the other full of excitement and cruelty.
The host walked down the stage, looked at the two people on the stage, and said: "First of all, I want to emphasize the rules. Lei Dao is clear, but Feng Li is a newcomer, so I still have to repeat it according to the rules.
Once on the stage, there are no other restrictions except that props such as external talismans and elixirs cannot be used, regardless of life or death.
Of course, if one side voluntarily admits defeat, then the fight must stop. When one side completely loses its fighting power, the other side cannot forcibly kill the opponent. "
After listening to the rules, Ye Li nodded. The host waved his hand and the defensive array on the ring was immediately activated. A transparent barrier covered the entire ring to protect the audience from accidental injuries.
"Now get ready, the battle begins!"
Following the host's command, the two of them moved at the same time.
Ye Li cast two talismans, Spirit Bell and Light Body, on himself in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Xun also moved quickly. He drew a six-character golden shield symbol with a flick of his fingers, and a large shield condensed by gold spiritual energy rotated around him.
Unlike armor-type full-body talismans, shield-type talismans cannot cover the entire body, but the defensive power within the shield's coverage area is extremely strong.
With the help of the light body talisman, Ye Li's powerful physical strength allowed him to burst out at an extremely fast speed, quickly closing the distance between him and Zhang Xun.
In the second instant, he had drawn a flowing flame talisman, and orange flames emerged from his side, rushing towards Zhang Xun like flowing water. Since the flame turned orange, the power of Ye Li's flowing flame talisman has also increased a lot, and the temperature on the ring has suddenly risen.
Zhang Xun's movements were not slow either. He watched Ye Li's speed in drawing the talisman, and the excitement in his eyes became even stronger. The moment Ye Li released the flowing flame, a six-character spell with electric light appeared in his hand.
The lightning did not attack Ye Li, but covered his feet.
Ye Li had seen this talisman in a book before. It was the basic auxiliary talisman of thunder, the Lightning Talisman. It could use the power of thunder and lightning to enable people to gain the ability to move quickly in a short period of time.
After Zhang Xun cast the lightning talisman on himself, his speed suddenly increased significantly. He had no intention of getting close to Ye Li Liuyan, and immediately distanced himself from Ye Li.
Because Zhang Xun was protected by the Golden Shield Talisman, Ye Li did not release the Explosive Talisman, and the speed of the Flowing Flame Talisman was not fast. He was slightly lacking in attack means and it was difficult for him to launch an effective attack on the opponent for a while.
Zhang Xun was extremely experienced in combat, and the moment he created a little distance between them, his hands kept moving, and in a little more than a snap of a finger, a seven-character golden talisman took shape.
After the talisman was formed, it was not activated. Zhang Xun continued to draw the talisman. He must have wanted to rely on the short-term speed advantage to activate a powerful compound talisman.
Ye Li felt alert, it seemed that the other party also knew the skill of condensing talismans and transforming into different shapes. Now he had no means of quick attack, so he could only maintain the Flowing Flame Talisman and continue to gather more flames.
He was already in a sea of fire, and the flames were still gathering like flowing water, rushing towards Zhang Xun.
Summoning fire consumes a large amount of spiritual energy. Ye Li is at the tenth level of the Spirit Gathering Stage and should be the person with the most spiritual energy among the same level, so he dares to use it so without restraint.
