Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Yun had already obtained eight consecutive victories. With only two more wins, he would be able to advance to the second floor of the Floating Island.

By now, Li Yun had gained some fame on the Floating Island. At the beginning, everyone had treated him like a soft persimmon and wanted to challenge him. Later, fewer and fewer people dared to take the initiative. Now, no one was willing to challenge him at all.

"For three whole hours, not a single person has challenged me."

Li Yun looked at his jade pendant. Not a single challenge message had arrived, causing him to frown slightly.

The fact that no one challenged him did not mean that everyone was afraid of him. It was simply because according to the rules of the Floating Island, cultivators could only challenge others on the same floor. Those on lower floors could not challenge those on higher floors, and those on higher floors could not challenge those below them either.

Essentially, most cultivators with decent strength had already reached the second floor, the third floor, or even higher. Because of that, the first floor no longer had many people willing or qualified to challenge him.

"Since no one is challenging me, I will just have to take the initiative."

Li Yun smiled faintly, took out his jade pendant, and initiated a challenge. His challenge range included every cultivator on the entire first floor.

"This Li Yun actually challenged me?"

"Is he joking? Who wants to fight this fellow? Why would I hand him a free victory when I already know I will lose?"

"Refuse. I refuse."

Immediately, many cultivators revealed strange expressions and chose to refuse without hesitation.

The cultivators still lingering on the first floor of the Floating Island ultimately had limited strength. To them, preserving their lives was the most important thing. Naturally, there was no need to accept a battle they had no confidence in winning.

"Hm?"

On a small floating island several hundred feet away from Li Yun, a young man wearing a multicolored robe, with hair dyed in several colors, suddenly raised an eyebrow. A playful look appeared on his face.

"This Li Yun actually dares to challenge me? Interesting. I have not gone to challenge him yet, but this fellow has already come knocking on my door."

The multicolored-haired youth laughed. "I originally planned to deal with him in a few days, but since he is asking for a beating, I can only oblige him. Challenge accepted."

Swish!

In the next moment, his figure vanished in a flash and appeared directly on the small floating island where Li Yun stood.

"Eh? Is that not Cai Liuyun?"

"This Cai Liuyun is a powerhouse ranked forty-second on the Earth Ranking. Although his appearance is a little strange, his strength is definitely impressive. He is even ranked seventh in the Inner Sect of the Origin Saint Sect."

"Furthermore, it is said that Cai Liuyun’s mother is a high-level elder of the Origin Saint Sect. In order to ensure his safety, she specially asked someone to refine a Multicolored Radiance Fan for him. That Multicolored Radiance Fan is a low-grade Heaven Rank spirit treasure."

"This battle just became interesting."

Not only the cultivators on the first floor of the Floating Island, but even those on the higher floors looked down and began paying attention to this battle.

Everyone knew that neither Li Yun nor Cai Liuyun would remain on the first floor for long. Entering the higher floors was only a matter of time for both of them. At that point, a battle between them would have been inevitable.

Since that was the case, it was very necessary to understand the strength of these two in advance.

"Your name is Li Yun, right?"

Cai Liuyun glanced at Li Yun, raised three fingers, and said carelessly, "Before fighting you, I have already won nine matches in a row. As long as I defeat you, I can enter the second floor of the Floating Island. Therefore, to bring my final battle on the first floor to perfection, I have decided to defeat you within three moves."

"Oh?"

Li Yun raised an eyebrow. "It seems you are quite confident."

"Naturally."

Cai Liuyun laughed loudly. "I, Cai Liuyun, am a powerhouse ranked forty-second on the Earth Ranking, more than fifty places higher than you. Dealing with you is as easy as turning over my hand. Alright, Li Yun, watch closely. This is my first move, Multicolored Spiritual Light."

As he spoke, his multicolored hair suddenly fluttered. His hands formed a series of seals, and a multicolored beam of light shot out.

Li Yun shook his head and casually swung his sword. A strand of Sword Qi burst forth, shimmering with four colors. From a distance, it looked as if two colorful beams of light had collided, exploding into a cluster of incredibly brilliant radiance.

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

Cai Liuyun’s figure actually stumbled back three steps.

His expression changed instantly. This Li Yun had actually forced him back three steps.

"Li Yun, I underestimated you."

He snorted coldly, and a five-colored fan suddenly appeared in his hand. Multicolored radiance flowed across the surface of the fan and spread more than ten feet outward. It was extremely dazzling and clearly no ordinary object.

This Multicolored Radiance Fan had been refined by his mother after she killed an eighth-rank Five-Colored Peacock and used its most essential tail feather as the core material. With this Multicolored Radiance Fan, Cai Liuyun’s strength could increase by at least thirty percent.

"Multicolored Storm!"

He swung the fan violently, and five-colored light erupted instantly, swirling into a multicolored storm. The radiance was so dazzling that it illuminated everything within dozens of feet.

Boom!

Suddenly, the five-colored light contracted sharply, compressing into a beam only the size of a bowl’s mouth before shooting toward Li Yun.

"This move is Cai Liuyun’s ultimate technique."

"It is precisely because of this move that Cai Liuyun managed to squeeze into the top fifty of the Earth Ranking. How will Li Yun block it?"

For a moment, everyone’s eyes fixed on Li Yun. Many cultivators on the third and fourth floors of the Floating Island could not help looking over.

Whether Li Yun could withstand Cai Liuyun’s attack would determine his status in their minds. If he could block it, they would naturally look upon him with greater respect. If he could not, the so-called two great rising stars would become nothing more than a joke.
