Chapter 1259: 1259 **Chapter 1259: The Eye-Catching Challenge** The mission center was crowded with people, and Lin Moyu didn’t want to disturb others. Lin Moyu left the mission center, and the surroundings immediately became quieter. Although there were still many people, it was much better than before. The seven or eight people also followed Lin Moyu out, and the burly man asked again, "Are you Lin Moyu?" This person not only had a hot temper but was also impatient and lacked brains. Lin Moyu didn’t know how such a person could cultivate to the God King realm. How could he comprehend the laws with such a temperament? Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, don’t disturb others." "You..." The burly man’s face changed abruptly, his eyes emitting a red light, as if he was about to lose his temper immediately. At this moment, a palm pressed on the burly man’s shoulder, and a man slightly shorter than the burly man said, "Huo De, calm down first, let me speak." A surge of laws rippled, and Lin Moyu felt a chill hitting him in the face. The palm pressing on the burly man’s shoulder emitted a layer of frost, instantly covering the burly man’s body with ice, causing him to calm down a bit. The water laws were controlled with great subtlety and ingenuity. It could not only calm the burly man down but also did not cause any harm to him. The tall and thin man said, "Let’s skip the introductions. You can check our information yourself." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦 As he spoke, the group revealed their hidden information, displaying their names and cultivation levels. The hot-tempered burly man was called Huo De, at the fourth stage of the God King realm. The thin and tall man who controlled the water laws was called Han Yu, also at the fourth stage of the God King realm. There were a few others, all around the third or fourth stage of the God King realm. Lin Moyu had seen the names of these people on the combat power list, and as he had guessed, they had come to challenge him. Han Yu said, "Sorry about that. Huo De was once infected by the fire laws during his cultivation, affecting his soul, so his temper is a bit hot-headed, but he means no harm." Lin Moyu nodded, "I know." He could sense that there was no killing intent in Huo De’s gaze, despite his bad temper. Han Yu smiled slightly, "You must have guessed why we came to find you." Lin Moyu could tell that Han Yu was very calm and intelligent, similar to himself. It was no wonder that Han Yu could judge that Lin Moyu had already guessed their purpose. Lin Moyu said, "Is it a challenge from the potential list or the combat power list?" When dealing with intelligent people, it was better to be straightforward without beating around the bush. Han Yu smiled, "Either is fine." Lin Moyu nodded, "I’m the same, but I have a condition." Han Yu didn’t seem surprised and smiled slightly, "The fee is negotiable." As long as Lin Moyu agreed, the other details could be discussed. "Then let’s go to the military arena." Lin Moyu turned and walked towards the military’s arena. There were three ways to challenge someone. The first was to enter the real-world arena and connect to the Human Emperor Network. The second was to issue a challenge in the Human Emperor Network, and if both parties agreed, the Human Emperor Network would make the necessary arrangements. The third was to use a challenge token, which could only be used in areas covered by the Human Emperor Network. However, challenge tokens were extremely precious and rare, so they were generally not used unless necessary. The second method was often ignored because if you challenged someone, they might not bother to respond. The first method was the best approach. Find the person in the real world, negotiate the fee, and then go to the real-world arena together to enter the Human Emperor Network. The challenger would need to pay a corresponding fee to the challenged party. The fee amount could be negotiated between the two parties, usually paid in the form of merit points. The conversation between them was not deliberately concealed, and the people nearby had all heard the news. As veterans on the combat power list, Huo De and the others were immediately recognized when they revealed their information. In an instant, the news that veterans from the combat power list were challenging Lin Moyu spread throughout the entire Fortress No. 1. A large number of spectators rushed towards the military arena, hoping to watch this challenge. Challenges at the arena were open to the public, and anyone could purchase a ticket to watch. The ticket price was determined by the Human Emperor Network, clearly marked, and fair to all. If you were willing to watch, you paid; if not, you could leave. No one was forcing you to watch. A challenge between combat power list veterans naturally attracted a lot of attention. In a blink of an eye, the identities of the challengers were also revealed. There were eight people who came to challenge Lin Moyu this time. The leader was Han Yu, ranked twelfth on the combat power list. Before Lin Moyu’s appearance, he was ranked eleventh but dropped one spot because of Lin Moyu. Next was Huo De. Huo De was originally ranked tenth on the combat power list but dropped to eleventh due to Lin Moyu’s sudden entry. The remaining six were also ranked near the top of the combat power list, with the lowest ranking being the highest. Without exception, these were all veteran powerhouses who had been on the combat power list for many years, possessing combat power that surpassed their own realms. They also had abundant combat experience and were considered invincible within the same realm. Naturally, they wouldn’t accept the newcomer Lin Moyu. Combat didn’t solely depend on one’s realm; experience was also crucial. The group arrived at the outskirts of the arena, where people had already gathered outside the military arena. The arrival of Lin Moyu’s group immediately drew everyone’s attention. Lin Moyu stopped in front of the arena and said, "Let’s negotiate the challenge fee before entering." Han Yu smiled slightly, "Of course, since we’re the challengers, you can set the fee." Lin Moyu shook his head, "You set it first. I’m afraid if I set it too high, you won’t be able to accept it." Han Yu thought for a moment, "Since we’re all on the combat power list, if the challenge fee is too low, it will be laughable when it spreads out. Let’s do this: each of us will pay 100,000 merit points, win or lose, these merit points will belong to you." 100,000 merit points were not a small amount for most cultivators. Even for a God King, it was a considerable sum. As Han Yu said, they were not ordinary God Kings but powerhouses on the combat power list. If the challenge fee was too low, it would indeed be embarrassing when the news spread. However, they didn’t know that to Lin Moyu, 100,000 merit points were nothing. He had just given Yu Zhu 100 million merit points as a deposit. Eight people paying a total of 800,000 merit points didn’t even amount to one-tenth of the deposit. Lin Moyu frowned slightly, not immediately agreeing. Huo De’s hot temper flared up again, and he let out a low growl, but before he could speak, Han Yu slapped him again. A layer of frost surged, forcefully suppressing Huo De’s temper. Han Yu asked, "Brother Lin, do you have any objections?" Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "Let’s change the rules. I don’t want your challenge fee; let’s bet merit points instead." Han Yu’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, and he asked curiously, "What kind of bet?" Lin Moyu said, "We’ll use the merit points on me as the stake. If I lose, I’ll give half of my merit points to the winner. If any of you lose, you’ll pay me merit points equal to one-tenth of the amount on me." The group quickly calculated the stakes in their minds, and this bet seemed a bit strange. Han Yu immediately understood Lin Moyu’s intention, "It seems Brother Lin has quite a lot of merit points." Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Decent enough."
