Even the usually calm Lin Xiu's eyes widened instantly.
Bai Ling's cold and pretty face was filled with astonishment.
Wang Han opened his mouth wide enough to stuff an egg.
Zhao Ming's gloomy temperament froze, hearing the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Lei Lie on the side even picked out his ears, widened his eyes, and roared in disbelief.
"What?! Brother Jiang! What did you just say?! You want to challenge twenty-two of the first twenty-four at the same time?! Did I hear you right?!"
Lei Lie is a man who fears nothing and is always known for his bravery.
At this moment, I felt that Brother Jiang, who had extraordinary temperament and always seemed calm and wise, had been dazzled by the previous victory and became too arrogant?!
Those are the top twenty-four Strong Ranking!
All of them are ruthless people worth at least Seven-Star Battle Spirit!
Among them, there are many Nine-Star Battle Spirit monsters that even touch the Dou Wang barrier!
Challenge them all in one go?
This is no longer confidence, it is simply crazy!
Jiang Donghua faced everyone's shock and Lei Lie's exclamation, but his expression remained calm and he just issued a normal order.
He looked at Lei Lie, with even a faint smile on his lips.
"What? Lei Lie, do you think I can't do it?"
Lei Lie was choked by the question and looked into Jiang Donghua's bottomless eyes.
Suddenly he remembered how he easily defeated Chen Ming, was pregnant with high-level Dou Technique, and was suspected of being Earth-grade cultivation technique.
That crazy feeling seems to have become a little unpredictable again.
But he couldn't help but muttered.
"No, Brother Jiang, this is too scary."
Jiang Donghua did not explain anymore, but repeated to Lin Xiu and others.
"Go ahead. Do as I say."
He wants to tell the entire Inner Academy in the most powerful and shocking way.
Donghua Pavilion posted the challenge very quickly, and the news spread quickly to every corner of the Inner Academy as if it had wings.
When those twenty-two concisely worded but full of fighting messages were delivered to the twenty-four students currently in the top 24 of Strong Ranking, excluding Lei Lie and Liu Qingsi, the ripples caused were far beyond imagination.
When these top students who are usually all-powerful and highly respected in the Inner Academy first heard the news, their first reaction was shock, and then they even frowned slightly.
They originally thought that although Jiang Donghua had powerfully defeated Chen Ming and established a force, they should always take a break to consolidate their cultivation, sort out their force, and gradually become familiar with the rules of the Inner Academy.
After all, it is not a wise move to be so high-profile when you first arrive.
However, they never expected that this new student would be so rampant!
Not only did he not rest, but he dared to make such a shocking move on the second day after being admitted to the hospital.
Challenge 22 of the top 24 Strong Ranking at the same time!
If everyone agrees, does he have the strength?
This is no longer a simple challenge, but more like a contempt and declaration of war against the entire Inner Academy top student group!
"What a new student who doesn't know the heights of the world!"
In a quiet courtyard somewhere, a student ranked fifteenth snorted and slapped the battle card on the stone table, anger appearing on his face.
"Do you really think that if you win Chen Ming, you can do whatever you want in the Inner Academy? Challenge twenty-two of us at the same time? What does he think of himself?"
Another strong man ranked ninth had a cold tone and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
However, after anger and dissatisfaction, more people fell into contemplation.
No one who can climb to the position of Strong Ranking is a real fool.
They may be arrogant, but they definitely lack caution and calculation.
Jiang Donghua dares to do this, either he is crazy or he has absolute confidence!
Thinking back to his record of easily defeating Chen Ming, the weird cold flames, the deep foundation that seemed to be Earth-grade cultivation technique, and the network of relationships he had with top seniors like Lei Lie and Liu Qingsi.
"The dragon crossing the river has its own origin!"
A student ranked twelfth murmured to himself, the anger in his heart gradually being suppressed by reason.
"This guy is so evil that I can't see through the depth."
Another student, ranked seventh, pondered for a moment and waved his hand to the subordinate who came to report the news.
"If you go and reply, just say that I have gained some insights recently and am at a critical moment of retreat and practice, so I am unable to cope with the challenge."
"I am also about to break through, but it is inconvenient to take action."
"I need to go out for training, and my return date has not yet been determined."
For a time, various excuses for retreat, cultivation, enlightenment, and experience were spread from the residences of these Strong Ranking masters.
Those who really accepted the invitation without hesitation were only a few students who had particularly hot tempers, were extremely confident in their own abilities, or felt seriously insulted.
Most people chose to avoid the war!
They couldn't figure out the details of Jiang Donghua and were unwilling to end easily when the situation was unclear.
What's more, this controversy is obviously a plan by Jiang Donghua to quickly become famous. Why should they be that stepping stone?
I don't want to sit in muddy waters for no reason when it comes to things like Enter the Dragon and the Tiger!
Let's wait and see for a while, and let those impatient people test the water first and find out the true quality of this Jiang Donghua!
As a result, a huge storm that was expected to sweep through the entire Inner Academy top circle turned out to be a bit louder than raindrops due to the caution and avoidance of most of the parties involved.
The undercurrent of games and trials is even more intriguing.
Everyone turned their attention to the arena three days later, wondering how many people would challenge and how Jiang Donghua would respond.
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
Inner Academy's largest arena, the atmosphere today is far more exciting than usual.
The stands were already crowded with people. Not only the old students, but also many freshmen crowded in, wanting to witness with their own eyes the turmoil caused by their leader.
However, when the appointed time approached, only a few people actually appeared in the center of the arena, ready to fight.
As many people expected, most of the Strong Ranking masters who received the battle invitation chose to wait and see or avoid the battle.
After all, it is not in their interests to take risks and be the test stone for a new student's rampant behavior.
However, those who can still come to challenge under such circumstances are all the best among the best who have absolute confidence in their own strength, are arrogant and cannot be provoked!
Among them, two figures are particularly eye-catching.
They stood side by side, and although their auras were restrained, they naturally exuded a heart-stopping sense of oppression.
There is a person wearing Tsing Yi with an ordinary face, even a little unremarkable. He is Xie Ying who now ranks third above Strong Ranking!
The other man was wearing a gray robe and had the same ordinary figure. He was the type that you would not find if you were thrown into a crowd. However, the way he crossed his arms and the faintly cold and arrogant arc at the corner of his mouth showed that he was extraordinary.
He is Han Jue, the eighth Strong Ranking!
Although these two people have ordinary looks and figures, standing there, they are like two unfathomable abyss, making people dare not underestimate them.
For them to be ranked so high, their strength is definitely far superior to the previous Chen Ming.
Xie Ying's eyes were like lightning, sweeping across the stands, and finally landed in the direction of Jiang Donghua, who had not yet arrived. His voice was calm but with a condescending scrutiny, and he spoke first.
"Hmph, it's rare for a new student to make such a fuss. Today I, Xie Ying, want to see what kind of a three-headed and six-armed person I am, who dares to speak out nonsense and challenge me, Strong Ranking, to be the top twenty-four!"
There was obvious displeasure and doubt in his tone. He came not because he paid attention to it, but more because he wanted to inspect the goods in person to see if this new student with exaggerated rumors was worthy of his name.
Han Jue next to him also sneered when he heard this, and said, his voice had a hint of hoarse magnetism, but it was even more arrogant.
"Xie Laosan is right. I, Han Jue, just came out of seclusion and heard about this madman. Well, let me try my newly trained Bone-Corroding Hand on him to see if his bones are as hard as his breath!"
The two sang in harmony, their words filled with contempt for Jiang Donghua and absolute confidence in their own abilities.
They simply did not believe that a new student could truly threaten them at their level, so they came to challenge more out of the desire to protect the dignity and face of master Strong Ranking, and to teach the arrogant younger generation a lesson.
The atmosphere in the audience was ignited as a result. Everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the protagonist Jiang Donghua to appear on the stage, and looking forward to this fight between dragons and tigers that was destined to be extraordinary.
These few people are the real hard nut to crack!
