After hearing what Zhong Tianming said, Ye Li finally understood that the other party was just trying to take sides and find excuses to pick on him.
Looking at the three people on the ground, Ye Li snorted coldly and said, "It seems that you two are here with bad intentions. Since you saw me stepping on his face in the fight just now, you naturally saw the previous situation. You should know very well how I should fight you. It's a bit mean to deliberately find something to say now. It was this guy who said he stepped on my face first."
Liu Yun struggled to get up from the ground with his face flushed. A shoe print was clearly imprinted on his face, making him look extremely embarrassed.
However, even though he was in such an embarrassing situation, he did not continue to attack Ye Li. According to the rules, he had already lost. If he continued to fight, he would be ruined.
At this time, everyone present had divided into two groups and stood in line. Ye Li stood at the front of the recruits' team, protecting everyone behind him.
On the other side, the old soldiers in the descent period stood near Liu Yun and the other two. Liu Yun and the other two followed behind Zhong Tianming and the other two. All of them had angry looks on their faces.
"You're new here, but you're a little too arrogant. Even if you're quite capable, you should be a little more restrained when you come to a new place."
Zhong Tianming no longer dwelled on the incident of stepping on someone's face. He was indeed just looking for an excuse to intervene.
Ye Li glanced at him and said, “What difference does it make whether you restrain yourself or not? You guys are going to come to me anyway, so you might as well stand up for yourself.
If you have the ability to take my star crystals, then come and take them. If you don’t have the ability to take my star crystals, then you’d better not come to me. I will punish anyone who exploits new recruits every time I see them.”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Zhong Tianming became angry and said, "You are overestimating your own abilities and trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.
Since you are so arrogant and want to fight against all of us, I will come today to measure your strength. "
As he was about to take action, another voice suddenly appeared beside him and said, "Zhong Tianming, this group of recruits belongs to our first battalion this time. What qualifications do you people from the second battalion have to come and teach them a lesson?"
Hearing the voice, Ye Li turned his head and looked to the side, only to see a very tall and fat young man walking towards him.
"Li Shuo!"
"It's Li Shuo, the second-ranked expert in the gestational period."
When the bystanders saw the fat young man coming, they immediately exclaimed.
Zhong Tianming also saw Li Shuo, his expression became a little ugly, and he said: "Li Shuo, these newcomers are not members of your battalion yet, why are you interfering
Besides, your battalion will also collect star crystals. The rules this guy wants to challenge also involve you. Do you still want to stand on his side?"
Li Shuo's fat body did not look bulky, and it didn't take him long to get over here.
He glanced at Zhong Tianming and said, "These new recruits will sooner or later become members of our First Battalion. Their strength will grow faster in the first year, so they won't be a drag if they join our First Battalion later. Therefore, our First Battalion doesn't plan to ask them for star crystals this year.
After they leave the recruit team next year, the new recruits here will join your Second Battalion, and we will collect the star crystals then."
Hearing Li Shuo's words, Zhong Tianming snorted coldly and said, "Asshole, so you mean that only your first battalion can take advantage, and our second battalion is not allowed to take advantage?"
Li Shuo shook his finger and said, "We in the First Battalion will not deprive our own people of star crystals excessively, but your Second Battalion is different. You will do your best to squeeze every batch of new recruits that belong to you.
You guys don't take them seriously, so we won't take them seriously either. So what if we take advantage of your new recruits?"
Yin Hu, who had been silent just now, finally spoke up after hearing this: "Li Shuo, you take yourself too seriously.
Don't forget that although you are the second in the military list, there is still Xiong Li above you, and he is also from our second battalion, so don't be too arrogant. "
When he heard Xiong Li's name, Li Shuo's expression finally changed and his eyes became a little gloomy.
"Xiong Li has recently gone out to sea to participate in a pioneering mission. He will not come back until the mission is completed. You in the Second Battalion can't do anything to me now.
Of course, if you two want to practice with me, I'm always available!"
After Li Shuo finished speaking, his aura rose. In Ye Li's opinion, this man's strength had definitely reached Tie Shannan's level.
If this man's strength is really comparable to Tie Shannan's, then the strength of the Xiong Li they mentioned should be on par with Jin Chan. This shows that the overall level of the Imperial City is indeed inferior to that of the Imperial Guards.
Hearing Li Shuo's threat, Yin Hu and Zhong Tianming's expressions changed and they said, "Li Shuo, although we can't beat you, we are not much worse than you. If you provoke us, we will fight you in a round-robin battle without caring about our dignity. I want to see if you can withstand the two of us."
After hearing what the two said, Li Shuo snorted coldly and said, "You can fight me in turns, or I can bring Hu Dong, who is ranked fifth in the military ranking, to fight you in turns.
If we really want to fight, none of us will get the upper hand!"
Zhong Tianming and Yin Hu looked at each other, both of them somewhat helpless. Now that Xiong Li, the strongest among them, was not there, they were somewhat at a disadvantage in front of Li Shuo.
The two of them were silent for a while, and seemed to have compromised, and said: "Li Shuo, we don't need the star crystals of these new recruits, but we must teach this guy named Ye Li a lesson, at least we have to have a duel.
And this time, we have to bet his first full year of star crystals, which is a total of 219."
After hearing Zhong Tianming's words, everyone else showed shock on their faces. Their way of exploitation was quite cruel.
Once Ye Li accepted the challenge, if he lost, all the star crystals he received every five days as a rookie would belong to the other party. As a rookie in this year, Ye Li had no star crystals to practice, so the speed of his strength growth would naturally slow down.
When Li Shuo heard that Zhong Tianming wanted to challenge Ye Li to a duel, he frowned. According to the rules, he had no reason to stop such a duel. The only ones who could speak out on this matter were Zhong Tianming and Ye Li.
It doesn't matter if Ye Li doesn't want to accept the challenge, but he is afraid that Ye Li is a guy who can't keep his composure and will be forced onto the stage by his opponent's provocation.
A duel is different from an ordinary fight. It is a relatively formal battle. Once you lose, there is no way to deny it. Ye Li’s star crystals for this year will be directly transferred to the other party.
The reason why Li Shuo was so determined to intervene this time was because he had just heard about Ye Li's background nearby, and found out that he was the first in this holy war.
No matter what happens in the holy war arena, the person who can win first place is definitely not someone who only relies on luck, he must have real talent.
Ye Li is already able to win the championship at the early stage of the gestation period. If he can reach the middle stage of the gestation period next year, Li Shuo believes that Ye Li's strength is likely to be firmly ranked in the top ten of the gestation period list. For their first battalion, he will be another strong player, which can more or less balance the gap in comprehensive strength between them and the second battalion.
