"I know I'm no match for you, but I still want to give it a try," Ying Ye said earnestly.
Lin An smiled. "Don't worry, even if you don't want to, you can't escape."
After saying that, Lin An immediately issued a challenge.
Hearing Lin An's words, Ying Ye took a deep breath and then accepted the challenge.
But in less than a minute, the two returned to the Battle Realm, and Ying Ye looked utterly dejected.
He himself couldn't even withstand a slap from Lin An.
With that, the three battles were over, and Lin An's ranking rose to 82nd on the Battle Ranking.
"Gentlemen, I will still set up this arena here tomorrow. I hope those so-called prodigies ranked above eighty will accept my challenge."
"Ideally, the top-ranked player on the Battle Ranking would appear, so as not to waste my time."
"Of course, if they are afraid, I can understand. After all, I am powerful, so it's normal for them to be hesitant to fight."
"Sigh, this is boring. I thought these so-called Battle Ranking prodigies would be really strong, but it seems they're nothing special."
"Could this so-called number one on the Battle Ranking be a fraud?"
Lin An's voice resounded throughout the venue.
Originally, all the beings of all races present had been impressed by Lin An's powerful strength, but upon hearing Lin An words, their anger was reignited.
" Lin An, don't be arrogant. Although you are very strong, the top ten geniuses are no worse than you."
Hearing this, Lin An couldn't help but smile. "So it seems you all think I'm qualified for the top ten. I just wonder if any of those top ten have the guts to challenge me."
The crowd paused, reluctant to admit it, but the strength Lin An had displayed today was indeed terrifying.
Some people even doubted whether the top ten prodigies on the Battle Ranking were a match for Lin An.
"Enough with the nonsense. I look forward to those so-called prodigies coming to challenge me. If they don't, then I'll have to call on them by name."
Lin An smiled and said, "If the guy I've named doesn't dare to accept the challenge, that's fine. But he'd better keep a low profile in front of my Human Race in the future."
After saying that, Lin An left the arena and returned to the main hall.
"This time we've reaped quite a harvest."
Lin An first glanced at the contribution points.
The first event had only one million viewers, the second had over three million, and the third had over seven million.
More than ten million beings watched the battle, and each being had to pay one thousand contribution points.
After this whole ordeal, he earned over 10 billion contribution points.
With so many contribution points, he could purchase a large amount of resources to refine elixirs.
"Let's save it for now. We still need to break through to the Extreme Realm later, and this amount of contribution points probably won't be enough."
After saying goodbye to Meng Yuan, Lin An left the Battle Realm and returned to the Heavenly Pass to continue refining the Black-Yellow Immortal Pill.
While Lin An was refining the Black-Yellow Immortal Pill, news of the three battles spread throughout all races.
"You have no idea how terrifying Lin An's strength is. He only needs one punch to defeat Yan Shan, and he could even kill Zi Ping and Ying Ye, who are ranked 84th and 82nd, with a single slap."
"Although Lin An was incredibly arrogant before, I have to admit that he really has the right to be arrogant. In any case, with my strength, I definitely couldn't withstand a slap from him."
"I heard that after winning three matches, this person even declared that he would challenge the top ten prodigies. I wonder if any of those prodigies will make a move."
"I think it's unlikely. Those prodigies in the top ten haven't shown up for a long time."
"It's alright. Even if the top ten prodigies don't appear, the throne will manifest on the Battle Ranking three days before the Sacred Realm opens. At that time, they will have no way to avoid it."
" The Human Race has truly produced a prodigy this time. With Lin An's strength, he might not make it into the top ten of the Battle Ranking, but he'll definitely be in the Battle Ranking twenty."
"..."
Lin An's name resounded throughout the myriad races once again, but this time, while the races considered Lin An arrogant, they also acknowledged his strength.
At the same time, all races were curious whether a top-ranked prodigy on the Battle Ranking would step in and suppress Lin An.
Indeed, there were five prodigies on the Battle Ranking who expressed their intention to suppress Lin An, with the highest-ranked among them reaching number fourteen.
Moreover, she is a prodigy from the Dragon Race.
When this news spread, all races immediately began to look forward to it.
That's the fourteenth ranked prodigy. Although he's only at the Immortal Seventh Grade, his combat power is stronger than many Immortal Ninth Grade.
Moreover, the other party is from the powerful Dragon Race.
The Human Race reacted quickly, and Meng Yuan told Lin An about it.
"Oh? The fourteenth-ranked Dragon Race prodigy?"
"Agree to it, let's set the date for three days from now."
Lin An said with a smile.
The reason for setting it for three days later was not because he needed to prepare anything, but because he wanted the news to spread more widely.
In this way, the more people will watch the game, the more contribution points he will be able to obtain.
There was no other way; his cultivation consumed too many resources, and breaking through to the Extreme Realm Ninth Heaven would require an unknown amount of resources. He could only take the opportunity to earn more.
Meng Yuan nodded and then relayed the message.
Soon, news spread that Lin An would be fighting against the Dragon Race prodigy ranked fourteenth on the Battle Ranking in three days.
This news immediately attracted the attention of all races, and many people even prepared to watch the battle three days later.
Meanwhile, among the Dragon Race...
A man with two horns on his head and wearing a golden robe sat on the throne.
Ao Che, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Royal Clan, Immortal Seventh Grade, ranked fourteenth on the Battle Ranking.
"Your Majesty, the news has spread. Lin An from the Human Race has accepted the challenge, and the time is set for three days from now," a graceful woman said from the side.
"This Lin An is quite something; even Ying Ye couldn't withstand one slap from him."
A hint of seriousness flashed in Ao Che's golden eyes.
He knew Ying Ye; he had fought him years ago, and although he won, it wasn't an easy victory.
Although it had been many years since he had fought Ying Ye, the opponent was not weak, yet he couldn't even withstand a slap from Lin An, which showed just how strong Lin An was.
"With Your Majesty's strength, you will surely be able to suppress Lin An," the graceful woman said with a smile.
Ao Che remained silent. In truth, he had no intention of fighting Lin An, since Lin An was only 82 years old, far from his level.
Even if he doesn't fight the other party, it won't affect him. He can simply say that the other party's ranking is too low and they are not qualified to fight him.
But there was no other way. Just now, their Dragon Race's young master Ao Kuang, suddenly sent a message, asking him to test Lin An's strength.
Although he was also a prodigy among the Dragon Race, he was still a notch below Ao Kuang.
"Fortunately, my bloodline strength increased again the day before yesterday, so I can use Lin An as a practice subject," Ao Che thought to himself.
