Honestly, Ye Luo really didn’t understand where the hostility of these people came from!

Ye Luo believed he hadn’t offended them, but why were they targeting him like this?

Ye Luo didn’t know!

However, not knowing doesn’t mean Ye Luo can forgive them!

Ye Luo didn’t explode because he clearly realized that his limitations meant he couldn’t fight these people.

Actually, they were right in saying one thing, which is that Ye Luo hasn’t even broken through the Earth Martial Realm!

Without strength, being belittled isn’t unreasonable, so Ye Luo endured it!

Seeing Ye Luo ignoring them again, those people became even angrier.

"Kid, why aren’t you speaking, gone mute?"

"Hmph, kid, apologize to us immediately, considering we’ve been fellow disciples, we might consider forgiving your previous disrespect, otherwise..."

Each of them kept ridiculing Ye Luo, exploiting the fact that he ignored them to go further!

But do they really think Ye Luo is that easy to bully?

Indeed, Ye Luo lacks strength right now because this is the Sixth Region, so Ye Luo’s realm is really lagging behind. But does that give them a valid reason to belittle him?

This is the Divine Rune Sect; Ye Luo won’t fear their strength because, here, realm is secondary, and what’s important is the ability to craft Talisman Characters!

So at this moment, Ye Luo turned around and spoke in the same indifferent tone: "Or else what? Want to duel me?"

Duel!

Ye Luo actually spoke of dueling!

Dueling within the Divine Rune Sect obviously doesn’t refer to the kind of arena duels but rather dueling in the art of Talisman Characters!

No sect would allow their disciples to mess around with each other, so the way to resolve conflicts is typically through methods that highlight the sect’s specialty!

The Divine Rune Sect is a sect of Talisman Characters, so the way to resolve disputes is through Talisman Characters dueling!

That means competing with the same materials, within the same time, to see who can craft faster and whose creation is more powerful!

"Haha, you actually dare to challenge me to a duel? Ye Luo, are you really thinking you’re something special?"

The disciple’s face changed instantly upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, as he viewed it as a complete insult!

He had been with the Divine Rune Sect for nearly a hundred years, whereas Ye Luo had only joined for a mere dozen days, yet Ye Luo proposed a duel!

Ye Luo didn’t speak, just looked at that disciple, waiting for a response.

The more indifferent Ye Luo was, the more difficult it became for them to accept.

Besides, Ye Luo was just a new disciple. Were they old disciples afraid of Ye Luo?

"Fine, you want a duel, bring it on. Hmph, don’t say I’m bullying you, tell me how you want to duel!"

By now, the surroundings were gathering more and more people, naturally to watch the spectacle. But almost all of them supported the old disciple, with no one speaking for Ye Luo!

Ye Luo didn’t know exactly how he had offended them, but since things had progressed to this point, there was no need to back down!

Moreover, isn’t this exactly the opportunity to earn points?

That’s right, the Divine Talisman Master told Ye Luo to complete tasks to earn points and exchange them for materials. But now, since someone was willing to give Ye Luo points, why wouldn’t he accept?

"Since it’s a duel, how can there not be stakes? Don’t you think?"

Ye Luo spoke in a detached manner.

That disciple naturally understood Ye Luo’s meaning, as such matters were not uncommon.

"Alright then, what do you want as stakes?"

"How about a thousand points? Don’t tell me you don’t even have a thousand!"

What, a thousand!

Ye Luo’s words left the surrounding disciples utterly shocked. A thousand points may not sound much, but how could points in the Divine Rune Sect be easy to earn?

In fact, even the highest task on the task board was worth only a hundred points!

Thus, it becomes evident just how difficult it is to earn points!

Unexpectedly, Ye Luo immediately asked for a thousand!

"Hmph, a thousand points it is then, but if you lose, you can get out of the Divine Rune Sect!"

The disciple roared fiercely!

A thousand points is indeed a lot, but having been in the Divine Rune Sect for nearly a hundred years, he could offer that. Of course, the most important thing was that he was sure of winning!

Ye Luo was just a new disciple, while he had studied at the Divine Rune Sect for nearly a hundred years. Could he not handle Ye Luo?

Ye Luo’s mouth slightly curled up; he dared to say such a thing because he was confident.

"Let’s go then, no need to make any appointments, we’ll head to the Talisman Hall now. To prevent anyone from saying I’m bullying you, I’ll give you a chance to choose the dueling method!"

Bullying me!

The disciple’s face turned extremely red with anger!

Wasn’t Ye Luo’s remark clearly slapping him in the face?

Keep in mind, Ye Luo was just a new disciple, but he had been practicing for nearly a hundred years. He even worried that people would think he bullied a newcomer if he won.

But unexpectedly, Ye Luo actually said such a thing!

"Everyone can talk big, but wanting to beat me! It depends on whether you have the skills! Since you’re a junior, then you choose the dueling method!"

That disciple, looking as though he had Ye Luo cornered, spoke calmly, no longer as agitated as before.

Ye Luo’s mouth slightly curled up, waiting for those exact words!

Actually, Ye Luo wasn’t even aware of these people’s abilities in Talisman Characters. Daring to challenge is one thing, but he needed to seize the best opportunity for himself!

From how that person readily accepted the duel, and even when Ye Luo asked for a thousand points, he only demanded Ye Luo leave the Divine Rune Sect, was proof he felt confident!

So Ye Luo would naturally find a way to obtain the most advantageous conditions for himself!

"Alright, then I’ll choose the three-stage duel method!"

Ye Luo didn’t hesitate even slightly and directly chose the duel method, which made that person secretly startled, feeling tricked!

Originally, in his mind, he didn’t think Ye Luo possibly knew the duel rules. Coupled with indignation, he rashly let Ye Luo choose.

But surprisingly, Ye Luo was very aware of the rules. Little did he know, during Ye Luo’s idle days, he wandered around and uncovered many things not typically known by newcomers!

Ye Luo did it deliberately because he understood their mindset very well. Isn’t it looking down on him? Then fine, he’d use this point to put them down!
