X-Dragon Era-Chapter 689 - s 488-489: The Final Duel_2
While pondering, An Xi's head shot up as he looked at the three figures opposite him, and the next moment... An Xi exclaimed loudly, "Sir Xin Yun! Do you dare switch to a different kind of competition?"
Hearing An Xi's words, Xin Yun looked at him in astonishment, and after a brief moment of thought, Xin Yun guessed the other party's intention. With a slight smile, Xin Yun replied, "You wouldn't be suggesting that we send out one person to duel with you, would you?"
In response to Xin Yun's question, An Xi proudly puffed out his chest. He knew... with the intelligence of the other party, it was impossible to deceive him. If he wanted the other party to agree, it was best to be open about it, as only then might the other party feel compelled to accept.
With that in mind, An Xi said with a smile, "That's right, I admit that our team is no match for the Fantasy Dream Team, but... I do not believe that every member of the Fantasy Dream Team ranks above me!"
Upon hearing An Xi's statement, Xin Yun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Regardless of the facts, you must understand that this is a team challenge competition, and it's the team's strength that we're comparing. If I agree to your request—a duel with my lover—wouldn't that be foolish?"
Facing Xin Yun's words, An Xi replied calmly with a smile, "Whether you agree or not is up to you, but... if you want to make the Fantasy Dream Team truly live up to their name, if you want their ranking to be even more convincing and beyond dispute, you must accept. Otherwise, at the very least, I will not recognize this ranking."
Having said that, An Xi paused briefly before declaring decisively, "Or let's do it this way, I can admit defeat on behalf of our team, but after we concede, you can send out anyone to battle me, and see if you truly deserve to be ranked above me!"
Looking intently at An Xi across from him, Xin Yun said nothing for a long time... Just as everyone was speculating, Xin Yun suddenly exclaimed, "Fine! If you're so confident, how could we possibly refuse!"
With a faint smile, Xin Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm aware that many are dissatisfied with that ranking. So, you don't need to concede. The three of us here, you can choose anyone to challenge. It doesn't matter who you pick, if you can defeat any one of us, the Fantasy Dream Team will disband on the spot and withdraw from the competition!"
"Wow!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, all the spectators cried out in unison. In everyone's opinion, the standard of the Top Ten Experts was about the same, and it was difficult to distinguish who was better. The reason the five members of the Fantasy Dream Team were placed in the top five wasn't because they were thought to be definitely able to defeat the other five experts, but because their record was so distinguished, their reputation so lofty. If it really came to a fight, it was not certain they could hold onto the top five spots.
Therefore, when everyone heard Xin Yun's confident statements, they were all stunned. They couldn't understand where Xin Yun's confidence came from to make such bold claims.
You must understand... unless you are far superior to your opponent, even if you're stronger, you still might lose. Obviously... as of now, although the strengths of the Top Ten Experts vary, the differences among them are minimal. Once a fight starts, anyone could win or lose, depending on who performs better on the spot, who has better luck. If anyone dares to say they are certain to win, they are definitely naive.

Faced with a stunned An Xi, Xin Yun remained calm. He actually had no certainty about this match, after all, this guy had been the fourth-ranked expert in his previous life, and his strength was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
If this guy chose Yi Luo Xiang or Yan Qingying as his opponent, then the match would become unpredictable. Although those two girls were also very strong, even in their past lives, their ranks came after An Xi. Facing off now, their chances of winning weren't high at all.
If nothing unexpected happened, the two girls facing An Xi would most likely end in a draw, and An Xi would seem to have the upper hand when seen on the field... In that case, things would get complicated. Who would be considered the winner?
Yet, even knowing all this, Xin Yun boldly made the statement he just did. The reason for his boldness was that he had counted on An Xi only choosing him as an opponent.
Perhaps some might ask why Xin Yun was so sure An Xi would choose him as the opponent. In fact, it wasn't hard to reason out. No matter how you put it, An Xi was the Young Clan Leader of the Demon Dragon Clan. With his status and position, would he really stoop to challenge two girls? If he dared to do so, the Demon Dragon Clan would lose all face. A man known only for bullying women, even if he won, how would his reputation fare? It would most likely plummet disastrously, never to rise again in his lifetime.
By now, I believe everyone understands that unless Xin Yun refuses the duel, no matter what he says or how he puts it, the one to enter the duel in the end could only be Xin Yun. An Xi would definitely not choose to challenge Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying.
Although Xin Yun wasn't certain of victory against An Xi, if there were one person among the three who might defeat An Xi, it would undoubtedly have to be Xin Yun himself. If he couldn't win, then it was even less likely for the others.
Whether it's Po Kong or Ming Xuan, they might have the ability to win, but due to competition restrictions, they wouldn't be able to enter this match... So the only one who could step forward was Xin Yun.
