Chapter 116: Golden Elephant Capital
Adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, not causing trouble, and avoiding all accidents, Xiao Li flew all the way to the capital of the Golden Elephant Empire, Golden Elephant City.

"I heard that the second prince has passed the test in the arena and became the first in the team heading to Liyou."

"Of course. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't go out, who can compete with the Second Prince? The Crown Prince will stay to inherit the throne, and the Second Prince will go out to practice. My Golden Elephant is really becoming more and more prosperous."

Jinxiang City is quite large, but at this moment it is filled with discussions about the Liyou Empire. As soon as he arrived here, Xiao Li had already heard about the geniuses gathering for Liyou.

"May I ask you two, what is going on with the fighting competition in the ring?"

The two people who were talking were startled when they heard this, as if they were a little surprised at Xiao Li's ignorance, but seeing that Xiao Li had an extraordinary demeanor, they did not dare to neglect him.

"My lord, you don't know that His Majesty has personally summoned talents and is preparing to select twenty people to go to the Liyou Empire for further study, and the selection method is a martial arts competition in the arena."

"That's right," another person continued, "In this arena competition, one person defends the ring. If you can fight ten games without losing, you can join the team."

"Alas, it's easy to say. They are all geniuses. How can they fight ten games in a row without losing? Only a Douling master like the Second Prince can win easily."

"Oh, that's wrong. It's said to fight ten games in a row. Of course, geniuses of the same level won't choose to fight to the death. There are rules for this competition. If you can fight three levels higher, you can join the team if you win. This is also one of the measures to prevent geniuses with a short training time from being affected..."

After roughly understanding the situation, Xiao Li followed the direction the two men pointed, thanked them, and quickly headed towards the center of the imperial capital.

...In the center of Golden Elephant City, all the buildings were demolished, leaving only a huge open space that served as an arena, with a large number of empty seats set up in the distance for people to watch.

The Golden Elephant is a martial artist, and this move is also to show the bravery of the Golden Elephant genius to the people in the empire.

"Li, Li Changyang, successfully defended the ring."

There was silence for a moment, and then a roar like a tsunami was heard.

"I didn't expect Li Changyang to be so strong. He almost swept the whole way."

"Yes, the Great Fighting Master Nine Stars is really terrifying."

"After the Second Prince and Zhang Rong, Li Changyang also succeeded. Three of the twenty places have been taken. The competition will be even more intense."

Xiao Li frowned as he listened. If he wanted to get to Li You quickly and steadily, joining the Golden Elephant's team would be the easiest way. However, as a stranger himself, it was not easy to show off too much and he needed to conserve his strength.

Seeing another nine-star master coming on the field, Xiao Li's eyes flashed. He planned to wait until this man had fought nine rounds, and then defeat him with the strength of a six-star master.

"Hui Qingzong, Chu Yun, ask for advice from everyone."

Chu Yun bowed with a look of pride on his face. The audience was silent for a moment. This was another nine-star Grand Fighter. After the only Dou Ling-level powerhouse, the Second Prince, was selected, who dared to say that they could definitely beat the nine-star Grand Fighter?

What's more, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. You can just wait for others to wear you down first before you take over. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Seeing the silence at the scene, Chu Yun's arrogance increased a bit. Seeing this, the person in charge at the side tutted in dissatisfaction.

"If no one challenges within half an hour, Chu Yun will win and automatically join the team."

As soon as the person in charge finished speaking, there was some commotion in the audience. There were still quite a few people with blood, or some people came just to challenge the strong and broaden their horizons.

With three Grand Master-level challengers coming on stage one after another, Chu Yun felt a little pressured. Fortunately, after each challenge, he was allowed five minutes of rest time.

"next."

Xiao Li glanced around and saw that no one dared to move, so he no longer hesitated.

"The wandering scholar Xiao Li has come to seek advice from you." Upon hearing this, the people around Xiao Li turned around in shock. Is there a genius around them who dares to come on stage and challenge?
But when they saw Xiao Li's face, they scratched their heads uncertainly.

Jin Xiang, is there a genius who looks like this?
Could it be a new one that has appeared recently? I have never heard of this name.

Hidden in the dark stands, King Golden Elephant's gaze suddenly focused on Xiao Li.

"Xiao Li, such a familiar name..."

"Your Majesty, some time ago, the Gama Empire..."

The King of the Golden Elephant was reminded and recalled the incident. "This name is the same as the one that caused such a stir in the city, Gama and Izumo."

"But it's been less than half a year since the Gama Empire ended its battle with the Izumo Empire. They shouldn't appear here."

The king shook his head slightly. "If he were a proper ruler, he would of course guard the newly conquered territory honestly. But I heard that Xiao Li is not very old... Send someone to check and see if there is any relevant intelligence filed in various places."

"Yes."

The head guard left, and King Jinxiang looked at Xiao Li again, muttering: "If you are really that Xiao Li, what is your purpose in joining the team? Thunder attribute, let me see your background."

King Golden Elephant's eyes flashed, and a strange color flashed across them, carrying the aura of Dou Zong's powerful strength, causing the stands to tremble slightly...

"Please advise."

Chu Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the strength of the six-star master. Fortunately, he was just a six-star master.

"I will defeat you within twenty moves!"

Chu Yun's eyes flashed, and he was ready to make a quick decision, so as to warn some people not to think that they were easy persimmons to be bullied.

There was a flash of sword in Chu Yun's hand, and the long sword was unsheathed. With just one sword, the demeanor of a nine-star master was fully revealed. With such strength, he deserved the title of genius.

Xiao Li's eyes were calm, and in his hand appeared a black iron spear that he had stolen from someone unknown. He just swung it casually, and was able to block the sword's attack.

Chu Yun raised his eyebrows, "You are indeed quite capable. It's a pity that you dare to challenge me on stage. Look at me..."

"so troublesome."

Xiao Li curled his lips, and with his right hand holding the spear, he exerted force and directly swung the sword away.

Chu Yun staggered back, his eyes full of disbelief.

The corner of Xiao Li's mouth twitched. Damn it, he used too much strength. He originally just wanted to knock away Chu Yun's sword, but now, the man has retreated five or six meters.

Seeing that Chu Yun was still dazed, Xiao Li did not hesitate. He pushed the ground with his right foot and swept the butt of the gun across Chu Yun's chest, knocking him dozens of meters away.

The person in charge at the side: ...No, buddy...one of you two is fighting against someone of a higher level.

Feeling the pure six-star master's aura from Xiao Li, the person in charge was also stunned.

"Um...Challenger, Xiao Li wins. He is more than three levels behind Chu Yun in strength and enters the team directly."

Xiao Li silently put the spear back into the ring and walked to the side of the circle of Li Changyang and the other two in the distance.
