The Old Hua Islands was one of the 36 islands in the Void Ocean.
Although it was one of the weakest islands, its strength was not to be underestimated.
The Void Ocean occupied more than 90% of the entire universe.
The entire Void Ocean was divided into 36 archipelagos.
One could imagine how big the 36 islands were.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Old Hua Islands were unimaginably big. Even a Creation Realm cultivator would need at least a few decades to traverse the entire Old Hua Islands.
Fang Chen was now at the heart of the Old Hua Islands, Tian Hua Island.
There were many martial artists on Tian Hua Island, so many that it was scary.
Most of them were powerful cultivators.
There were no Heaven Dipper Realm cultivators other than local martial artists.
However, almost all of the outsiders had reached the Heavenly Body Tier.
The Old East Alliance was headquartered on Tian Hua Island. It was the strongest force on the Old Hua Islands.
It could be said that it was the ruler of the Old Hua Islands.
In fact, it was easy for Fang Chen to join the Old East Alliance.
Whether it was breaking through to the Extreme Realm, his incredible talent in the Way of the Sword, or his strength, he met the requirements of the Old East Alliance.
After arriving at the Tian Hua District, Fang Chen asked around and learned some information about the Old East Alliance.
"Boss, there are only two ways to join the Old East Alliance. Which one do you want to choose?" Little Mouse asked.
The first way was to be in the top 100 of the Tianhua List. The second way was to wait for the Old East Alliance to recruit disciples.
"The first way, of course."
Time was tight, especially after knowing that his mother was from the Luo Clan. He couldn't wait to improve his strength.
"With your strength, it's possible for you to be in the top three of the Tianhua List." Little Mouse smiled.
Fang Chen nodded and entered Tian Hua City.
The Tianhua List was a ranking of the young geniuses of the Old Hua Islands.
It involved all the young geniuses, and was published by the Old East Alliance, so its authority was unquestionable.
The list was changed every year.
It was said that the Old East Alliance had experts who went to the seventy-two islands to find potential and talented martial artists.
He wanted to make the Tianhua Leaderboard more authoritative and include all martial artists.
In the center of Tian Hua City, there was a square called Tian Hua Square.
In this square, there was a stone tablet that was several meters tall. Its aura shook the heavens.
There were many warriors gathered around the stone tablet. They were discussing the names on the stone tablet in whispers.
Fang Chen came to the Tianhua Square and looked up at the stone tablet.
"This is the Tianhua Ranking," Fang Chen said.
Then, he looked at the 100th place on the Tianhua Ranking.
"It's you."
Fang Chen arrived before the Tianhua Ranking. His aura surged, and his voice contained the power of the stars. He said in a low voice, "I am Fang Chen, and I challenge Li Tingxian, who is ranked 100th on the Tianhua Ranking."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, everyone looked over.
Very few people would directly challenge the top 100 martial artists on the Tianhua Roll.
They represented the most powerful group of the younger generation on the Old Hua Islands.
Although Li Tingxian was only at the sixth level of the Heavenly Body Tier, his ability was comparable to a seventh level Heavenly Body Tier martial artist.
This was only the 100th place on the Tianhua Ranking. The top 10 or even the top three martial artists were freaks.
"This guy definitely wants to join the Old East Alliance. That's why he challenged Li Tingxian."
"Yeah, does he think that the 100th place on the Tianhua Ranking is weak?"
"What a joke. He's dead for sure if he challenges Li Tingxian."
Almost all the warriors didn't think that Fang Chen had the ability to challenge Li Tingxian.
There were even some people who declared that they would help Li Tingxian vent his anger.
After Fang Chen's news spread, he immediately received a response from Li Tingxian.
"I won't accept a nobody's challenge."
This was Li Tingxian's response. He thought that Fang Chen was a nobody, so he wouldn't accept his challenge.
Actually, this was understandable.
If any random nobody could challenge him, then there was no need for him to cultivate.
"A nobody?"
Fang Chen repeated Li Tingxian's words and grinned.
"Boss, you're being underestimated," the Little Mouse said with a smile.
Fang Chen didn't say anything else and walked straight to the arena.
The arenas on Tianhua Island were similar to the arenas on the Ancient Sword Continent.
There were battles every day in the arenas.
Those who wanted to earn more cultivation resources would choose to come to the arenas.
"There are five arenas in the arenas. Newcomers can only fight in the lowest arenas and gradually improve according to their battle records," the person in charge explained.
Fang Chen nodded and went directly to the first arena.
At this moment, two martial artists were fighting. A rough-looking martial artist defeated his opponent.
"Hahaha, who wants to challenge me?"
This person laughed loudly and was very arrogant.
"I'll do it."
Fang Chen stepped onto the arena and said.
"Brat, you want to challenge me?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, he felt his body fly backwards.
There was an uproar below the arena.
He sent the arena master flying with one punch. How strong was this brat?
"Who else?"
Fang Chen ignored everyone's shock and asked as he looked around.
No matter when, there would always be someone who didn't want to admit defeat.
After about an hour, Fang Chen easily won ten consecutive battles.
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Fang Chen calmly left.
Immediately, he went to the second arena.
Every time he won ten consecutive battles in an arena, he could choose to enter the next arena.
Six hours later, Fang Chen came to the fifth arena.
Almost all the martial artists who could stand in this arena were strong.
Forty consecutive victories caused an uproar in the arena.
For a moment, everyone was asking about Fang Chen's background.
Soon, the news of Fang Chen challenging Li Tingxian was dug up by everyone.
"This brat is the martial artist who challenged Li Tingxian?"
"Oh my god, he's so strong."
"He came to the arena to prove that he's not a nobody?"
"With his current strength, he should be qualified to challenge Li Tingxian."
The entire arena was in an uproar.
Even the person in charge of the arena was paying close attention to Fang Chen in the arena.
At this moment, Fang Chen was like a killing god, standing quietly in the arena and enjoying the worship of everyone.
"Li Tingxian, I'm just a nobody. Am I qualified to challenge you?"
Fang Chen shouted across the air.
Not long after, his words reached Li Tingxian's ears.
Soon, Li Tingxian responded.
"Fight."
Li Tingxian only said one word. A moment later, he whistled and arrived at the arena.
Fang Chen's actions were completely provoking Li Tingxian.
Whoosh …
Li Tingxian was very tall, taller than Fang Chen by a head. He jumped onto the arena and looked down at Fang Chen, saying coldly, "Brat, do you know that you're playing with fire?"
"So what if I'm playing with fire? It won't burn me anyway," Fang Chen said calmly.
Since Li Tingxian didn't accept the challenge, he could only use this method to force Li Tingxian to come out.
"I'm just afraid that you'll burn yourself." Li Tingxian stood with his hands behind his back, not taking Fang Chen seriously at all.
"Is the 100th on the Tianhua Leaderboard only good at talking?" Fang Chen asked.
Hearing this, Li Tingxian's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure.
"Brat, I don't care where you're from. It's impossible for you to use me as a stepping stone." Li Tingxian waved his hand and said in a low voice.
"All these years, countless martial artists have challenged me, Li Tingxian, but they all failed in the end.
"I, Li Tingxian, have a rule. There's only one ending for losers, and that's death.
"So, in my eyes, you're already a dead man."
Li Tingxian was very arrogant. When the crowd below saw Li Tingxian angry, they were very excited.
Especially the person in charge of the arena.
The top 100 on the Tianhua Leaderboard almost never came to the arena to waste time.
But now, because of Li Tingxian's arrival, the arena was instantly full.
Just the fee to enter the arena was equivalent to the income of the previous arena in a month.
"If only the top 100 on the Tianhua Leaderboard could enter the arena at any time," the person in charge said with a bitter smile.
Even he knew that this was impossible.
At that moment, the streets and alleys of Tianhua City were crazily spreading the news of the battle between Li Tingxian and Fang Chen.
"Third Brother, stop cultivating. Hurry up and go to the arena. Li Tingxian has appeared."
"What? Li Tingxian has appeared? I want to go and see."
"Li Tingxian, the 100th on the Tianhua Leaderboard, accepted the challenge of a nobody. It's so lively."
Many martial artists wanted to see Li Tingxian's elegance.
In just a quarter of an hour, the arena became extremely crowded.
However, there were still martial artists who entered the arena crazily.
More and more warriors entered the arena, causing the atmosphere in the arena to become very solemn.
"Is that Li Tingxian? He's so tall and strong."
"Yes, as expected of Li Tingxian. The aura on his body is unmatched by ordinary people."
"The skinny guy opposite him should be the martial artist who challenged Li Tingxian."
"He's so stupid. Li Tingxian rejected the challenge. He actually used this method to provoke Li Tingxian."
Many warriors were talking about it.
Most of them did not know Fang Chen, so they did not know him well.
Li Tingxian was different. Everyone was familiar with him. He was the 100th on the Tianhua Leaderboard. How could ordinary people compare to him?
However, from the beginning to the end, the only one who supported Fang Chen was probably Little Mouse.
"Boss, they all look down on you," Little Mouse said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I've already won this battle," Fang Chen said with a smile.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Li Tingxian's aura instantly surged as he stared at him with wide eyes.
"Brat, you're too confident."
"Is that so? Then why haven't you fought yet?"
Li Tingxian stared at Fang Chen, trying to see through him.
"Good, very good. It's been a long time since someone challenged me, Li Tingxian."
Li Tingxian raised his hand, and the power of the stars surged in his palm.
Li Tingxian was furious. Fang Chen dared to be so arrogant in public, looking down on him, Li Tingxian.
