Chapter 618: Shang Jifeng Greets the Overlord

The last person to be disqualified was Shang Jifeng, someone within the Serpent Fowl List's top 100. He had always maintained a low profile. He spent most of his time cultivating and had little contact and very few disputes with anyone. At a glance, his cultivation level was peak first-stage Dragon Ascension Realm, but in truth, he had already reached mid first-stage.

Someone with his strength could easily challenge the Jiao Luan List. For some reason, he was here hiding his strength, as if he was afraid that someone would discover his secret. Due to a lack of information, Xiang Shaoyun did not dare to recruit him.

A look of astonishment flashed in Shang Jifeng's eyes as he said, "You're actually able to see my true strength? Your nine-star physique is indeed extraordinary. However, are you kicking me out after learning of my true strength because you are afraid that one day I will overshadow you?"

"It's good to be confident, but it's also important to have the strength to back the confidence," said Xiang Shaoyun expressionlessly.

"You are absolutely right. I hereby challenge you to a duel. If you can defeat me, I will stay and lend you my hand. However, I have to make it clear that I do not have any contribution points to wager for the duel," said Shang Jifeng with a carefree shrug.

His main goal was to witness how strong Xiang Shaoyun actually was. After he left his recent seclusion, he had heard of Xiang Shaoyun's deeds over and over again, including Li Haonan's defeat.

Of course, that was only one of the reasons he wanted to challenge Xiang Shaoyun. His other reason was that both of them were similarly special-recruits picked up by Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei had once praised Xiang Shaoyun before him. Since then, he had wanted to challenge Xiang Shaoyun.

"Forget it. I have no interest in you," Xiang Shaoyun refused flatly.

He already had 10 recruits. Although they seemed slightly lacking when compared with Shang Jifeng, they were still decent recruits. The questions he had asked them might seem simple, but he was judging their souls with his filthless soul. Through their soul undulations, he was able to detect their lies.

And that was how he had selected the 10 recruits he had here. Of course, further observation was required to see if they were really truthful.

After a short thought, Shang Jifeng finally decided to speak his true thoughts, "Actually, both of us are special-recruits of Elder Xiao Wei. That is the reason for my challenge. Of course, if you insist on refusing the duel, I have nothing to say."

Xiang Shaoyun smiled. "Ok. That is a decent reason. I accept your challenge, but we will fight in a different way."

"How so?" Shang Jifeng asked.

"I can sense that you cultivate the power of wind. Let's compete in speed. If I win, you will join the Overlord Legion and serve me. If I lose, I will give you 10 drops of dragon liquid. Of course, you can even snatch the Overlord title from me if you want," said Xiang Shaoyun confidently.

Shang Jifeng roared with laughter and said, "Hahaha, very well. I accept."

If they had to compete in terms of combat prowess, Shang Jifeng felt it could go both ways. But if it was a competition of speed, he was confident he had a 90 percent chance of winning.

After all, he was a wind cultivator who had also comprehended footwork intent. In fact, he was also known as the Wind of Destruction. Just his nickname made it clear his comprehension of the power of wind surpassed that of many others.

"Ok. Let's do it outside," said Xiang Shaoyun. He could see Shang Jifeng's confidence, but he was filled with confidence as well. He wouldn't have sug
