As soon as Huang Tianrong spoke, everyone present joined in agreement.

After all, this Qin Yi was too arrogant, and everyone found him unpleasant.

"Sparring? It's my first day after joining, and you want to spar with me? Isn't that a bit unfair?" Qin Yi asked.

A new disciple on their first day hasn't learned anything yet, and you want them to spar with you seasoned veterans?

Isn't this like a new employee just joining a company, and the old employees immediately challenging them on business skills?

I just joined the company today, haven't even figured out the work, and you want to compete with me on doing business?

"Heh." Huang Tianrong knew he would refuse because any normal person would, but he wanted to block Qin Yi's refusal: "Aren't you at the fifth level of Qi Refining, an innate genius? As a genius, you're afraid to spar? Is that still a genius?"

Huang Tianrong glanced around, sneering as he said, "What do you all think?"

Someone like Qin Yi, reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining upon entry, is indeed an innate talent.

In fact, anyone who enters and directly reaches the first level of Qi Refining is considered an innate talent.

Ordinary people have to cultivate step by step, which is considered acquired talent.

Innate talents are geniuses, that's universally acknowledged.

"As a genius, if you don't even dare to spar, you might as well be called trash."

"A piece of trash, daring to be so arrogant, I suggest he go back and read up on what 'arrogance' means!"

Huang Tianrong sneered, regardless of whether Qin Yi accepted or not, his goal was achieved.

Now, all the disciples on Emerald Bamboo Peak had a poor impression of Qin Yi.

If Qin Yi didn't dare to accept, then all the disciples would have a topic to mock him with in the future—genius as timid as trash!

If Qin Yi dared to accept, as a new disciple who hadn't learned anything yet, no matter who he sparred with, he would undoubtedly lose.

Once on the Martial Platform, he would be beaten miserably, losing face even more.

In other words, whether Qin Yi accepted or not, he was already caught in Huang Tianrong's trap.

'Arrogant fool, so clueless about socializing, I want to see how you'll survive on Emerald Bamboo Peak in the future.'

Huang Tianrong crossed his arms, watching coldly, waiting for Qin Yi's response.

Qin Yi's cold gaze swept over everyone present; he actually didn't want to bother with these people.

In his eyes, the only one currently worthy of being his opponent was the Child of Fortune, Hua Yunfeng.

As for the others,

People like Huang Tianrong weren't even qualified.

So, he didn't even want to say much.

However, his disregard was taken by Huang Tianrong and the others as cowardice.

Afraid?

Sparring with you weaklings, how could I be afraid?

"Since you're so eager to spar, let's do it." Qin Yi nodded, finally choosing to accept, cracking his knuckles with a series of popping sounds.

Huang Tianrong's face lit up with a smile upon hearing his answer, his heart filled with joy.

With a glance towards the Martial Arena, the senior brothers meditating there immediately stepped aside, leaving a large open space.

"It seems our genius junior brother has some courage after all."

Huang Tianrong praised with his mouth, but in his heart, he was mocking.

Foolish thing, if you didn't accept, others would at most mock you a bit; but since you accepted, prepare to suffer!

"Among these senior brothers standing before you, you can choose any one."

Huang Tianrong picked ten people from the crowd, having them stand in front of Qin Yi.

All these people were at the fifth level of Qi Refining or higher.

The same fifth level of Qi Refining, how "fair."

Qin Yi glanced at these ten people and suddenly said, "No need to choose, let's just go with you."

He looked down on all of them.

So either don't fight, or if he fights, he fights the strongest one to establish his prestige immediately.

Once he establishes his prestige, no one on Emerald Bamboo Peak would dare to speak out against him in the future.

"What? Me?"

Huang Tianrong initially thought he misheard and asked again, "You choose me?"

Qin Yi had already taken an iron sword from the weapon rack and jumped onto the Martial Platform: "Yes, you. But just sparring is boring, let's add some stakes, shall we?"

Huang Tianrong laughed, looking around at his buddies, as if looking at a fool: "What stakes do you want?"

The ten choices Huang Tianrong arranged for Qin Yi were already unfair.

The lowest cultivation among those ten was at least several months into the fifth level of Qi Refining, with months of consolidation, and they had been cultivating on Emerald Bamboo Peak, with deep foundations.

You, Qin Yi, a new disciple, what do you have to compare with them?

You can't even beat any of those ten, yet you dare to dream of directly challenging the strongest senior brother?

"How about this, if you lose, then from now on, I will be the eldest senior brother on Emerald Bamboo Peak, and whenever you see me, you must bow. Is that okay?" Qin Yi said.

To settle on Emerald Bamboo Peak, being the "eldest senior brother" should be standard.

Huang Tianrong and the other disciples couldn't help but laugh at his words.

Though they wanted to laugh, they tried hard to hold it in, what a naive and foolish person!

"And if you lose?"

"If I lose, I'll obediently be the junior brother, and every time I see you, I'll bow."

"Alright, it's a deal then."

Huang Tianrong's expression suddenly became serious, this was exactly what he wanted from Qin Yi.

Since the conditions were set, it shouldn't just be empty talk.

"It's a deal."

Huang Tianrong: "All the junior brothers present can be witnesses, so no one can go back on their word after losing. This was his own request, not something I, Huang, forced on him. Even if the grandmaster asks, you can testify for me."

Qin Yi: "You all better remember, if I win, I'll be the eldest senior brother."

Just as they finished speaking, a graceful figure emerged from the backyard.

It was Gu Yiyi, who had changed into a dress!

At this moment, she was wearing a light blue long dress, her slender figure gentle and youthful.

She came out blushing, intending to find Qin Yi and remind him of a few things, but as soon as she stepped out, she saw Qin Yi and Huang Tianrong on the Martial Platform talking about a deal.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Gu Yiyi immediately ran over to join the fun.

A disciple eager to please her quickly explained Qin Yi's challenge to Huang Tianrong.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yiyi immediately scolded, pointing at Qin Yi: "Are you stupid? You just joined today, how can you beat the eldest senior brother? Get down quickly, don't foolishly stay up there and get beaten."
