Ye Li's hunting speed alone was obviously much slower than when there were three of them, but because of the change in his fighting style, he had a great advantage when fighting against the monsters in the early stage of the Deification Period, and he did not encounter any danger.
During the last ten days or so of Ye Li's hunting, he hardly ever fought against monsters in the middle stage of the Descending God Stage. All he fought against were monsters in the early stage of the Descending God Stage.
The strength of these monsters is not as good as those in the middle stage of the Descending Stage, and the value of the materials on their bodies is also much lower.
Fortunately, Ye Li accidentally completed another task and won all the task rewards by himself, which brought his total harvest this time to 1,100 contribution points, which was considered pretty good.
The fourth month of classes began soon. During this half month, Mu Rongxuan mainly explained to them the knowledge about the origin runes and guided them to understand their own origin runes.
After all, after the descent stage, one can create talismans by themselves, so the interpretation of the original runes becomes a major task that they must do.
However, everyone's origin runes are different, and Mu Rongxuan does not have any specific method to teach everyone how to comprehend the origin runes.
He could only start with concepts, teach everyone certain methods and inspire his disciples to comprehend the power of the origin runes of each attribute on their own.
The half-month class time ended quickly. During the second half of the month's free practice time, Ye Li once again spent one thousand contribution points to purchase materials for the formation, and then began to absorb the power of the Lotus Flame Heart Pool.
After three days, his physical strength was finally improved and he stepped into the realm of a demon beast in the middle stage of the Lingdan period.
And his spiritual essence realm began to touch the peak of the early stage of the Divine Descent Stage. He felt that he would be able to advance to the middle stage of the Divine Descent Stage soon.
This increase in physical strength had a huge impact on Ye Li's fighting style. After actual testing in hunting, he found that he could already hunt monsters in the middle stage of the Divine Coming Stage on his own.
Although the efficiency of hunting alone was not very high, after all, his opponents had become monsters in the middle stage of the Descending Stage, and the value of various materials had increased. Although he was not lucky enough to encounter any tasks and get rewards, the harvest in such a half month was still not small, allowing him to obtain nearly a thousand contribution points.
Soon, it was the last day of the fourth month, the day he and Wen Tuo had agreed to duel.
In fact, the news of the fight between the two of them had been spread to both the East and West Houses by someone with ulterior motives a few days ago.
The main spreaders of this news were naturally Yue Meng and others. Their purpose was to let everyone see how Ye Li was defeated by Wen Tuo.
After Yue Meng was defeated by Ye Li, his situation was completely different from Du Peng's. Although there were still many people laughing at him behind his back, not many people dared to do such a thing in front of him.
After all, the Yue family is not a small family in the Imperial City. Yue Meng's brother Yue Kuang is ranked among the top ten in terms of strength among the heavenly-level disciples. Naturally, no one is willing to provoke Yue Meng in person.
After careful publicity by Yue Meng and others, the battle between Ye Li and Wen Tuo attracted countless people to watch.
When Ye Li returned to the Imperial City from the Dark Mountains and arrived at the arena to participate in the competition as promised, the surrounding audience seats were already filled with many people.
The fight between the two must be witnessed by a deacon. In addition to ensuring the fairness of the fight, it also prevents the two from accidentally killing their opponent during the fight.
As soon as Ye Li entered the fighting arena, he was surrounded by cheers from a group of outside disciples. As outside disciples themselves, they were relatively united, and although they were not familiar with Ye Li, they still came here to cheer for him.
Hu Xiu and Qi Haizheng were also in the crowd at this time. When Ye Li saw them, they nodded and smiled at him, and showed encouraging looks.
Seeing Ye Li enter, some orthodox disciples who were on good terms with Wen Tuo and Yue Meng began to boo.
In their opinion, Ye Li was not qualified to fight against Wen Tuo at all.
Although Ye Li's name has spread to everyone's ears over the past few months, not many people really take him seriously.
After all, Ye Li’s previous performance only proved that he was talented in boxing combat, and it did not mean that he could be stronger than an average person in actual combat.
Among all the people present, including some outside disciples, not many thought that Ye Li could win. Except for Mu Tianzhi and Huang Jian, those who thought that Ye Li could force a draw were already giving him enough face.
After all, Wentuo's actual combat ability is obvious to all. It is well known that he was promoted to a ground-level disciple as an outstanding disciple.
As for how Ye Li inexplicably became an Earth-level disciple, the disciples in the Imperial City were constantly speculating, but no one could explain it.
The elders did not reveal anything about Ye Li becoming an Earth-level disciple, so this matter remained a mystery to everyone.
However, precisely because of this, this incident made many people present feel dissatisfied, and they felt somewhat psychologically unbalanced about Ye Li's gains.
Wen Tuo came to challenge Ye Li, not only because he wanted to help Yue Meng get revenge, but also because he was jealous of Ye Li.
He himself had gone through untold hardships to climb all the way up from a yellow-level disciple to an earth-level one, but Ye Li was inexplicably promoted to the earth-level easily right after joining the Imperial City. This really made him unhappy for a long time.
Ye Li seemed to be unconcerned about the boos from the orthodox disciples around him. After all, he grew up amid boos and no longer cared about such things.
After nodding to Mu Tianzhi, Huang Jian and others in the stands, he focused all his attention on his opponent Wen Tuo, and then walked to the ring with a calm expression.
Wen Tuo was already standing on the stage at this time. He glanced at Ye Li and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to dare to join the battle. You are really brave."
Wen Tuo sneered and said to Ye Li.
Ye Li looked at the other party and said, "I have no grudge against you, but you came to duel with me for no apparent reason.
I don't mind if you want to be Yue Meng's lackey, but I am very unhappy that you want to provoke me just to be a lackey."
Ye Li's words made Wentuo's face change, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
"Humph, bastard, who are you calling a dog
Brother Yue and I are good friends. He was insulted by you in the ring, so I naturally have the obligation to stand up for my friend. It is only normal for me to challenge you to a fight.
If anyone is to blame for this, it's your arrogance. If you had just lost to Yue Meng, I wouldn't have had anything to do with it."
Wen Tuo looked at Ye Li and snorted coldly.
