Martial Arts duels don't count.
However, using computers as stakes is not allowed by Internet Cafe rules, so the Host can rest assured and accept the challenge.
"Do you really want to compete?"
After receiving the system's reply and understanding the situation, Su Ran looked up at Li Yun: "I'm really busy right now!"
Li Yun smiled: "Then the boss can just give me the computer directly; consider it your surrender!"
Su Ran closed his notebook, stood up, and said: "Then let's go outside!"
...
And this news instantly spread like wildfire in the Internet Cafe.
"Stop playing, stop playing, someone is challenging the boss to a duel!"
"What!"
"Holy crap, this is going to cause trouble!"
"Who is it? Whoever wants to harm the boss must first get past me!"
"Right, whoever dares to harm the boss, I'll fight him to the death!"
The players who were originally playing games were all startled. No matter how urgent the situation in their games, they all exited, rushed out of the Internet Cafe, shielded Su Ran, and glared menacingly at Li Yun.
"Heh, I didn't realize, boss, you're quite respected by them!"
Li Yun scanned the crowd with amusement and said: "There should be Royal Academy students among you, right? I just went for a stroll, and those core disciples couldn't even withstand one sword strike from me. What about you?"
The faces of the academy students, including Zhou Yang and Liu Chengfeng, changed.
"I am Liu Chengfeng, Prince of Feiyun Country!"
Liu Chengfeng asked in a deep voice: "And you are?"
"Oh?"
"The Prince is here too?"
A slight curve appeared on Li Yun's lips: "Li Yun, from Beiwei Country!"
...
Meanwhile, not far away.
Several hidden figures were observing the situation outside the Internet Cafe.
Upon seeing Liu Chengfeng, someone exclaimed: "It seems even His Highness is here, what should we do?"
"Don't rush, let's observe the situation first. When Li Yun stormed the Royal Academy, General Du Wei said that if Platinum-level people made a move, he wouldn't interfere, but if anyone above Platinum-level made a move, then... that's a killing god!"
"But since he said that, he must be quite confident in Li Yun's strength. I'm afraid no one below Platinum is truly a match for Li Yun."
"Sigh, I only hope His Highness and the others don't act impulsively!"
...
Liu Chengfeng's expression also tightened upon hearing this.
"You are the Beiwei envoy who came with the Military God General Du Wei?"
"No, no, no, I am now just like you, a player who wants to play games as soon as possible!"
Li Yun's gentle expression gradually became sharp, and he looked proudly at everyone: "Alright, we can change the terms. As long as anyone present can defeat me, this matter will be dropped!"
"What, holy cow, this guy is too arrogant, isn't he? Is he showing off now?"
"I don't care if he's the Beiwei envoy, he needs to be taught a lesson!"
"You want to bully the boss? Watch me beat you to death!"
"None of you fight me for it, let me go."
Zhou Yang also raised an eyebrow, about to step forward.
"No need!"
But Su Ran had already taken two steps forward from the crowd: "This is between me and this guest, you don't need to interfere!"
Although the Internet Cafe players' actions to protect him were quite heartwarming.
However, if he, the Internet Cafe boss, still needed customers to protect him, it would be too unreasonable, not to mention that he had already received the system's reply, and the outcome was already decided.
Su Ran looked directly at Li Yun, gently raised his hand, and gestured: "Make your move!"
Li Yun saw that Su Ran's hand was empty: "Boss, where's your weapon? Or are you practicing boxing?"
"It will naturally appear when it should."
Su Ran shook his head and then said: "Also, to avoid disturbing everyone playing games in the Internet Cafe, I suggest we finish this quickly, how about it?"
"Heh heh, it seems the boss is quite confident in his strength. As you wish!"
As soon as his voice fell.
Li Yun's smile faded, and he slowly drew his sword. With the metallic sound of the sharp sword leaving its sheath, a golden star ring appeared on his wrist, five stars shining simultaneously. The sharp Martial Qi around his body merged with the sword, transforming into an boundless sword momentum, appearing even sharper.
At this moment, Li Yun's powerful strength was displayed.
Many of those who had just wanted to step forward were instantly greatly alarmed, only then realizing that they could not possibly be the opponent's match.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
The next second.
Li Yun struck with his sword.
His body shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring. Wherever he passed, the wind howled, and the air seemed to be torn apart.
This sword strike had no prelude at all; it was so fast that most of the surrounding people didn't even notice it the moment he struck.
It wasn't until the sword strike was halfway through that everyone's pupils widened, they suddenly realized, and were terrified.
Even Zhou Yang's heart tightened. He felt that his strength had improved a lot recently from playing games, but he also felt that he was not an enemy of this one sword strike.
"So fast, such a terrifying sword!"
"This... can the boss block it?"
"The boss is only Golden 1-star strength, his raw power seems to be quite a bit lower..."
Watching as the sword strike was already closing in.
However, Su Ran at this moment remained motionless, waiting for the sword to reach him.
"Why isn't the boss moving yet?"
"Could it be that he hasn't reacted?"
Everyone watched with a pang in their hearts, even feeling a bit anxious for Su Ran.
This even caused a flicker of hesitation in Li Yun's eyes. Perhaps it was his eagerness to play the game sooner, he also wondered if this sword strike of his was too ruthless?
"Don't hesitate!"
Who knew, a sentence came from the front.
Li Yun was startled, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he no longer hesitated. Instead, he added a few more points of force, making this sword strike even more fierce and unparalleled, its sharpness pressing down.
Watching as the sword's edge was only an instant away from Su Ran's body!
Suddenly, Su Ran's eyelids twitched slightly.
Game mode activated.
Space around him rippled, and in an instant, an object appeared in his hand: a Taichi Sword.
He shifted his feet and body simultaneously, his figure transforming into a phantom, sliding with the Taichi Sword in his hand.
He perfectly evaded Li Yun's incomparably sharp and fatal sword strike with a flawless arc.
"What!"
Li Yun was stunned. He had completely not expected his sword strike to be dodged so effortlessly.
But before he could finish his surprise.
"Clang."
He heard a hum from the Taichi Sword in Su Ran's hand, and the blade began to glow red.
He quickly sheathed the sword, assuming a drawing stance, but without charging, he instantly drew the sword, and a small Iai Slash shot out.
Li Yun's pupils constricted slightly, seeing two incomparably terrifying blade lights slashing towards him, from far to near, the terrifying sensation growing stronger and stronger.
Li Yun fully circulated the Martial Qi within his body and drew his sword to block.
With a "clank."
The Taichi Sword fell to the ground.
Immediately, he felt a heavy blow to his chest, and intense pain came, and his whole body was instantly sent flying backward.
In the air.
Li Yun's first thought was: This boss is so strong!
Li Yun's second thought was: It seems I can't play this game today.
He landed and then fainted.
And the surrounding crowd was still in a daze at this moment, because everything happened too quickly, they hadn't even reacted yet.
