Hearing the provocative words of the pockmarked young man, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi looked at each other and said in unison: "Come if you want, are you afraid of me?"
After saying that, the pockmarked young man snorted coldly and said no more. He led the crooked-eyed young man and several others out of the lounge and headed towards the arena on the left.
After those few people left, most of the remaining ones were Yellow-level disciples, and there were a small number of Black-level disciples.
Most of these people looked at Ye Li and the others with sympathy, then turned and walked out of the lounge. Only an obese yellow-level disciple looked outside through the window. After making sure that the pockmarked young man and others would not pay attention to this side, he walked carefully to Ye Li and the others.
“I say, you two are really young and fearless, you even offended Yue Meng.
Alas, it is inevitable. When I joined the Imperial City last year, I was just like you. I felt that I was outstanding and was extremely confident. "
His words stunned Ye Li and the others for a moment, and then they looked at him in confusion.
“Um, I forgot to introduce myself. I passed the city entrance test last year and joined the Imperial City. My name is Huang Jian, and I’m from the Huang family in Taidu City.
Yue Meng is well-known for looking down on us outside disciples. He would provoke us outside disciples for no reason. Many people were injured at his hands.
The reason they came here to be punished was because they had been too harsh on someone the previous time and had injured someone badly, so they were punished. "
Hearing Huang Jian's words, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi couldn't help but frowned and said, "Brother Huang, why do they dare to be so arrogant? Doesn't the Imperial City protect foreign disciples at all
Besides, he is just one person, and the people around him don't have much power. Can't the other outsiders unite to deal with them?"
Huang Jian pulled the two people and said, "Let's go out first and talk while we walk."
Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi hurriedly followed Huang Jian out of the lounge.
Huang Jian said cautiously: "My two little brothers, you don't know that the Imperial City actually encourages fighting each other.
After all, only frequent fighting can improve practical combat capabilities, so as long as the attacks are not too harsh, the deacons will not interfere in the general frictions between disciples.
As for the issue of unity, we are already relatively united, but their power is much greater and we are no match for them at all.
In fact, the reason why they hated foreign disciples was because his Yue family was a lineage of elders in the city and were the orthodox descendants of the Imperial City.
Yue Meng has an older brother named Yue Kuang, who is also a top figure among the younger generation and ranks among the top on the Emperor Jun List.
It’s just that he was challenged by an outsider last year and lost the fight. Since then, he began to be hostile to outsiders.
Yue Meng's strength is not outstanding, but he has always been arrogant and domineering in the name of his brother, causing trouble everywhere in the city.
After Yue Kuang lost, he began to exclude foreign disciples.
After all, they are an old-established Imperial City family, and they have some close friends behind them. They are all born in the orthodox Imperial City and often get into conflicts with each other, so naturally they work together to exclude outside disciples.
There are currently a total of 150 Heaven-level disciples, 100 of whom are descendants of orthodox Imperial City families.
In addition, there are forty disciples who were brought into the Imperial City to practice since childhood. Although these people are also considered foreign disciples, they have stayed in the Imperial City for a long time and no longer consider themselves outsiders.
The remaining ten people are the ones like us who came in through the trial to enter the city.
Senior Brother Qi, who defeated Yue Kuang, is the one who has climbed the highest among our group in the past five years, ranking seventh on the Emperor Jun list.
However, he is already a master in the middle stage of the gestational period. This year should be his last year in the monastery. He will soon leave the monastery and become a reserve deacon of the Imperial City.
With our strength, it would be a huge disadvantage to fight Yue Meng and others. Even if someone defeats him, he will definitely call more powerful friends to retaliate. We really have no choice but to surrender."
Hearing Huang Jian's words, Ye Li was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and said: "Wait, Brother Huang, you just said that there are ten of our outside disciples among the Heaven-level disciples.
We only recruit two foreign disciples a year, so doesn't that mean that all the foreign disciples we have recruited in the past five years have become Heaven-level disciples?"
Huang Jian heard Ye Li's question, waved his hand and said, "Alas, it seems that you have misunderstood, Brother Ye.
In fact, the idea of recruiting only two people only started in the last three years. Before that, thirty foreign disciples were selected each year.
I don’t know why, but the admission criteria suddenly changed and was reduced to two people.
We, the outsiders, only have yellow-level status when we come in, and our strengths vary greatly. Many of us have been eliminated, and not many of us remain in the training academy within five years."
After hearing Huang Jian's explanation, Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi finally understood that there was such a change. However, among the Heaven-level disciples, ten were foreign disciples, which was a bit high.
After all, think about it, in the past five years, there were only sixty-six external disciples recruited, including them, and one-sixth of them entered the heavenly level, which is quite good.
As they were talking, the group was almost approaching the ring. Huang Jian looked around and said to Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi, "In short, my two brothers, I advise you to keep a low profile. When you see Yue Meng and the others in the competition, admit defeat if you can.
It is impossible for them to keep an eye on you all the time. After you admit defeat this time, they will probably not pay too much attention to you in the future, so as not to cause trouble to you all the time, which will not be easy to deal with. "
While Huang Jian was speaking, he noticed that Yue Meng seemed to be glancing over here, so he hurriedly said a few more words to Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi, then stood aside, keeping some distance between himself and Ye Li and the other two.
Ye Li and Mu Tianzhi looked at each other and felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that there was some unrest in this Imperial City.
If they are really targeted by others, their future practice will not be so smooth.
"Humph, I don't believe they can do anything to me, Brother Ye, I don't have the habit of admitting defeat to others easily."
Mu Tianzhi spoke.
Ye Li glanced at Yue Meng who was not far away, and sneered, saying: "Brother Mu, I am not in the habit of admitting defeat. So what if he is an orthodox disciple of the Imperial City? I have beaten the direct descendants of the Feng family. Am I afraid of him?"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Mu Tianzhi immediately looked at Ye Li with a look of surprise. He really didn't want to fight. Ye Li had actually fought with the Feng family and even beat up their direct descendants. It seemed that this new friend he had met was not a simple person either.
While the two were talking, the servants beside them had already started distributing number plates. After taking the plate, the battle order would be determined and the battle would begin immediately.
