If Zhou Li's amateurish display during the opening ceremony of the Sect Competition was a collective spiritual trauma to everyone present—a vivid manifestation of Dragon Tiger Mountain's overall mental state—then his declaration of "I'll fight ten!" was pure, unfiltered mockery.
Bottomless, shameless, and without any subtleties—a straightforward taunt.
Even though the example might have been overused and tiresome to repeat, the moment Zhou Li brazenly announced "I'll fight ten," it felt as if every cultivator present had been magically gifted a steaming pile right on their heads. Sudden, without warning, not even a single frame of delay—a pile dropped squarely onto their heads.
If Zhou Li were a cultivator at the Seven Stars Realm or Eight Extremes Realm who had entered the competition just to bully weaker opponents and record videos for fame, no one would object. At worst, they'd think Zhou Li was mentally ill, addicted to tormenting novices.
