As she spoke, Yun Mengdie glanced at Zhang Yun seemingly unintentionally, a hint of malice flashing in her beautiful eyes. This caused a glint to appear in Zhang Yun's eyes, and he instantly understood Yun Mengdie's intention.
It seems Yun Mengdie really is a vicious woman.
At the same time, everyone was also shocked. The rules given by Yun Mengdie seemed simple and casual, but in fact they were meant to make all the participants fight in a chaotic battle. If someone was surrounded and attacked by the group, even if they were strong, they would inevitably suffer a loss.
"Haha, this not only requires strength and luck, but also tests the contestants' shrewdness and ability to adapt to the situation. My niece Mengdie's suggestion is really good."
Luo Chen nodded slightly and smiled, "What do you all think?"
After a brief discussion, the many powerful figures on the platform almost unanimously agreed that this method was feasible.
"Alright, I hereby announce that in ten minutes, all participants will engage in a free-for-all."
"The sect will send seventeen deacons to jointly activate the protective shield. If anyone is found to have lost their fighting ability, they will send them out of the arena immediately, except for those who voluntarily admit defeat."
"Remember, among fellow disciples, stop when it's over. Never intend to kill someone, or you will bear the consequences!"
Wang Fugui announced loudly, causing the eyes of the participants in the second round to gleam, clearly indicating that they had already begun to look for allies to start the first stage of the free-for-all.
"Zhang Yun, you're so amazing, you probably won't admit defeat, right?"
Yun Mengdie chuckled, her words effectively cutting off Zhang Yun's escape route, if Zhang Yun still had any shame.
"Senior Sister Yun is joking. If you really can't win, why not just admit defeat? That seems to be within the rules, doesn't it?"
Zhang Yun asked back matter-of-factly, which made Yun Mengdie's lips twitch.
That Zhang Yun is truly shameless.
Yuan Lingshu, who had initially held Zhang Yun in slightly higher regard, shook her head in considerable disappointment.
Zhang Yun is indeed mediocre; he is not qualified to be her opponent.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Wang Fugui stood up and announced loudly, "The time has come. All contestants, please take your positions."
As soon as Zhang Yun stepped onto the stage, he immediately sensed something unusual. Almost all the contestants, as if they had conspired together, were staring at him with hostile eyes.
"Everyone, you all saw Zhang Yun's outstanding performance just now. He actually managed to shatter the test stone tablet with a single punch. It's truly shocking and frightening."
Jiang Hao glanced around at the crowd, his words seemingly exaggerated, but his tone was full of sarcasm and ill intent.
"So, I think everyone agrees that he's the 'number one' in this year's inner sect assessment. Therefore, Zhang Yun, who is so powerful, deserves our vigilance. How about we join forces and be the first to take him down?"
"Jiang Hao, that's exactly what I was thinking."
Huang Shaotian stepped forward, a sharp glint in his eyes, and coldly smiled.
"My cultivation has already reached the seventh level of Body Refinement. It's not really appropriate for me to lower myself to fight a kid at the fifth level of Body Refinement. But Zhang Yun's talent is too monstrous. I imagine fighting across realms will be as easy as eating for him."
Lin Fan's eyes were calm, like a lurking lion, yet he still stepped forward and spoke.
Clearly, not only him and Huang Shaotian, but all the male disciples present, including some female disciples, harbored deep hostility towards Zhang Yun.
Unsurprisingly, Zhang Yun became a public enemy in no time.
"I didn't expect that you people would think so highly of me."
Zhang Yun's eyes remained calm and confident, while a playful smile curved his lips.
He's killed even experts at the Chakra Realm, so why would he be afraid of these nobody?
"Hehe, Zhang Yun, I hope you can still laugh later."
A hint of malice flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes. Last time, Zhang Yun was lucky and let him escape.
This time, he has a legitimate opportunity to make a move. Even if the rules prohibit killing him, crippling him would be ideal.
Zhang Yun is doomed!
"It's so unfair that so many people are bullying one person."
Suddenly, a clear and indifferent voice slowly came out of Yuan Lingshu's mouth, causing the expressions of many participating disciples to change slightly.
Immediately, Yuan Ling walked towards Zhang Yun with a blank expression.
"Zhang Yun, I'm allied with you."
Yuan Lingshu said indifferently that she simply disliked it and didn't think much of it.
PS: Thank you so much to Class 2 for the 1443 book coins and to Liang Er Bu Wen Dian Wai Shi for the 999 book coins! I heard that the bosses who give gifts are all the most handsome. They will definitely be promoted this year. Please give me more gifts and vote for me! I love you all!

Chapter 34 The battle was over before I even made a move?
"Zhang Yun is a despicable, shameless, lecherous, and vulgar man. Even if Miss Yuan is only associating with such a person for a short time, it will probably ruin her reputation."
Yuan Lingshu's beautiful eyes remained indifferent as she coldly said, "How I conduct myself is none of your business."
“This…” Jiang Hao’s lips twitched slightly, and the eyes of the others also flashed with a sharp light.
It's strange how Zhang Yun can attract women so much.
If Yuan Lingshu really allies with Zhang Yun, things will become somewhat tricky.
However, they have a large number of people and a significant advantage.
Since we can't change Yuan Lingshu's mind for the time being, let's show her Zhang Yun's true colors.
There's no smoke without fire. In time, Yuan Lingshu will naturally understand why almost everyone is targeting Zhang Yun.
