The words of the pockmarked young man were immediately responded to by several disciples from the Imperial City nearby. These people were also Xuan-level disciples, and they looked at Ye Li and the other two with disdain.
Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi both thought of themselves as not high-profile people and had never offended each other before, so they had no idea why the other party would mock them.
But after all, they had just arrived and neither of them had any intention of making enemies with others, so after looking at each other, they suppressed the excitement in their hearts and didn't say anything more.
"Humph, you should say thank you when you hear someone's honest advice. I don't know where this bumpkin came from, but he is so rude!"
The pockmarked young man seemed to be intentionally provoking the two men, and when he saw that they ignored him, he continued to pester them relentlessly.
Mu Tianzhi couldn't bear it anymore, he glanced at him and said, "You are in the same lounge with us now, obviously you are here to participate in the knockout round.
I think you guys should worry about yourselves a little more, or you'll have to change the color of your clothes the next time you run into this."
Hearing Mu Tianzhi's sarcasm, the other people were stunned and suddenly burst into laughter.
Next to the pockmarked young man, a young man with crooked eyes sneered, "You know nothing. The reason why Boss Yue and we participated in the elimination round this time is because we made some mistakes, not because we are not strong enough.
Do you think that Boss Yue is really old just because he looks older? Let me tell you, Boss Yue is only 24 years old this year, and he is very strong.
After all, Boss Yue and we are originally from the Imperial City. We have been trained in the Imperial City since childhood, which is something you outsiders cannot compare to."
The crooked-eyed young man had a flattering look on his face while speaking, and it seemed that the pockmarked-faced young man had a very high status among them.
And according to the other party, the reason they participated in the knockout round was because they did something wrong and were punished, not because they were really weak, so their fighting power should be very strong.
This made Mu Tianzhi's face become serious again.
Ye Li looked at the other people. Although he didn't know why they came to cause trouble, looking at their expressions, they all looked arrogant. When the other disciples of the Imperial City looked at them, there was some fear in their eyes. It seemed that these people had never been good people.
Ye Li is not a coward. Young people have some temper. Since the other party wants to provoke him, he will naturally not remain tolerant.
He looked up at the young man with crooked eyes. These people were all around 24 or 25 years old. It was obviously impossible for them to have entered the city through the trial like them. After all, they were all at the Yellow Level when they first entered the city, and it was not easy to upgrade to the Black Level.
Ye Li couldn't help but guess that they must have been adopted into the Imperial City since childhood, which is why they were able to slowly rise from the Yellow level to the Black level over the years.
After thinking for a while, Ye Li said, "If he really had the ability, he would be at the Heaven level now. After all these years, he is still only at the Earth level. I really don't know what you can boast about.
Having been trained in the Imperial City since childhood, he was still only at the Divine Descent Stage at the age of 24. He could only be grateful for his origins. If this level of cultivation was placed outside, he might not be eligible to be invited to participate in the trial to enter the city.
Even if you are qualified to participate in the city entrance test, you are not necessarily stronger than the people who were eliminated before. I really don’t know where you get the confidence to look down on us. "
Ye Li is indeed very young, and obviously younger than everyone else, but his strength is so outstanding that the words he just said seem quite heavy.
It was like a slap on the face of the pockmarked young man. The crooked-eyed young man who had just spoken could not think of any rebuttal for a moment. After all, in terms of strength, they were at the same level, and Ye Li was indeed younger.
If they really wanted to swap places, with Ye Li growing to be 24 years old and the pockmarked young man a few years younger, there would probably be a world of difference in their cultivation.
Ye Li's words made the pockmarked young man's face extremely gloomy. He snorted coldly and said, "Your mouth is quite powerful, but I don't know if your hand skills are strong enough.
If you have the ability, don't use your special status to give up participating in the competition. Come and compete with us to see who is stronger among us!"
Hearing the other party's provocation, Ye Li smiled coldly and said, "Didn't you see clearly whether my hands are hard enough in the fight just now? Do you have to let me smash my hands on your faces to feel it?"
As Ye Li spoke, he couldn't help but take half a step forward. His aura pierced through his body like a blade. When he glanced at them, several people suddenly felt their eyes sore and unconsciously wanted to lower their heads to avoid him.
Ye Li's performance in the ring just now was indeed very powerful. Not only did he catch the opponent's attack with his right hand, he also kicked the opponent out of the ring with his bare hands. It was obvious that Ye Li's body had strength far beyond theirs.
Although this group of people did not think that their fighting ability was weaker than Ye Li's, they were also unwilling to fight with Ye Li at such a close distance. According to Ye Li's performance just now, they would most likely be injured before they could even use the talisman.
The pockmarked young man felt so angry after being hit by Ye Li that he wanted to explode but was afraid of Ye Li's strength. He was unwilling to hold back his anger.
In his opinion, these two foreign talisman masters were not qualified to become disciples of the Imperial City. How could he allow outsiders to look down on him like this
Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight and the pockmarked young man couldn't help but want to call for action, the old man on the ring said: "The competition for entering the city has ended, and the next one is the elimination round.
According to convention, five people will be demoted or eliminated at each level every year in the Divine Coming Period, so you must be prepared and give your best.
The rules of the competition remain the same, with a scoring system as the main focus. Each person has three rounds, with no points for a loss, one point for a draw, and three points for a win.
Among the disciples of each level, the five with the lowest scores will be eliminated or demoted.
Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. There are nine arenas here. The three on the left are for competitions in the early stage of the descent of gods, the three on the right are for competitions in the middle stage of the descent of gods, and the three in the middle are for competitions in the late stage of the descent of gods.
All of you in the lounges, get ready and gather next to the three arenas immediately. Someone will distribute number plates to you, and you will be assigned to fight according to your numbers in a while."
After hearing the old man's words, everyone in the lounge became nervous, as the knockout round was about to begin.
The pockmarked young man looked at the ring outside the window, then looked at Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi, then snorted coldly and said, "You two are lucky. If you have the guts, come to the ring. I will definitely beat you to your knees and beg for mercy!"
