Many elite students were watching the show from the side with mocking looks on their faces.
In reality, they did not believe the rumors. They said that Xia Ping had killed Scorpion Thirteen and his bodyguard alone. His battle prowess was extraordinary. They were probably just bragging.
After all, there were many ways to kill people, such as nuclear bombs, firearms, and so on. With the help of these high-tech weapons and traps, one could easily kill some monsters.
However, this did not mean that the other party's martial arts strength was really strong. Perhaps he would grow in the future, but he was not qualified now.
"Oh, you want to challenge me?"
Xia Ping raised his eyebrows and looked at the elite student Xie Hao in front of him.
"No, this is not a challenge, but a duel, a fair duel."
Xie Hao's mouth twitched. He wanted to correct this point. Now, he finally understood why the rumor said that this kid had a cheap mouth and made countless people want to beat him up.
Just based on what he said just now, he felt a fire burning in his heart.
What was a challenge? The so-called challenge was the weak challenging the strong, and the young challenging the old. There had never been a strong challenging the weak.
According to this kid's words, he was clearly saying that he, Xie Hao, was inferior to him.
One had to know that he was a senior who had entered Yanhuang University for many years. Be it age or martial arts cultivation, he was considered this kid's senior. Now that he was lower than this guy for no reason, how could he feel good!
"Of course, I will not bully the weak. I can let the combat room suppress our cultivation to the first heaven of Martial Master. This way, everyone's cultivation will be the same, and it will purely be a competition of battle skills. This is very fair."
He looked at Xia Ping to show that he was not bullying the weak.
"Very fair?"
Zhao Yang, the dean of students, snorted coldly. "Your cultivation is at the Sixth Heaven of Martial Master. You have been an elite student for several years and have received a lot of training. Whether in terms of cultivation time or martial arts experience, you are above ordinary students."
"So what if you suppress your cultivation to the same level? Those who have just been promoted to elite student are no match for you. You have an overwhelming advantage. "
"Also, according to the rules of the training tower, there are usually bets in the combat room. How much do you want to bet with Xia Ping?"
He saw through Xie Hao's plan in an instant.
"Not much, just 100 Energy Stones."
Xie Hao grinned and said, "Junior, you've just been promoted to an elite student, so you must have received some rewards. It should be easy for you to take out 100 Energy Stones."
"So that's how it is. You took a fancy to Xia Ping's Energy Stones."
Dean Zhao Yang stared at Xie Hao. "I heard that some of you bullied the newbies and invited them into the combat room for a duel."
"On the surface, it looks like a fair duel, but how can those newbies be a match for you old foxes? Each and every one of them lost their Energy Stones and suffered a loss in silence. You've made a huge profit. "
Hearing this, Xia Ping finally understood. These seniors bullied the freshmen because they didn't know the rules, so they challenged the freshmen to a gambling match. The result was obvious. Even if they suppressed their cultivation to the same level, the freshmen would still lose miserably.
After all, in terms of talent, everyone possessed top-notch aptitude. However, these seniors had gone through several years of tempering, and the gap between them had become apparent. It was too difficult for a newcomer to win.
He looked around and saw Mu Haoran and the others. They also had a gloating look on their faces. They probably suffered a lot of losses in silence. At the same time, they hoped that Xia Ping would be as unlucky as him.
"Indeed, I made a profit, but I didn't bully them. All of them volunteered. Since their skills were inferior, they had to accept their losses."
Xie Hao didn't feel guilty at all. He thought that he didn't break any rules, and even the school couldn't punish him. He said, "What do you think? Junior Xia, you're a newly promoted elite this time. You're a big shot in the entire Cloud Realm. Even a Demon King's descendant like Scorpion Thirteen was killed by you. You're really fierce. "
"A hundred Energy Stones is nothing to a great figure like you."
"Don't tell me you're afraid and want to run away?"
He had a sarcastic look on his face.
"Xie Hao, you're looking down on people. Who do you think Junior Xia is? How can he be compared to ordinary people? Ordinary students might refuse, but he definitely won't. "
An elite student stood up and shouted loudly.
"Isn't that right? He didn't even run away when facing those ferocious monsters. Why would he run away from a mere duel? "
"Of course, if he really ran away, I'm a little suspicious. Is he faking it? A national hero doesn't even dare to participate in a fair duel. His nature is obvious. "
"That's too much. Are all of you trying to bully Junior Xia? Don't you have any shame? Let me tell you, it's not a problem for Junior Xia to refuse to duel with you. At most, his reputation will be damaged a little and he'll be looked down upon. This is a small matter. But then again, he doesn't even dare to accept a fair duel. This is a little too cowardly. "
One by one, the elite students stood up and echoed each other. It was as if they were performing a skit, mocking Xia Ping. Their faces were full of sarcasm, as if they had long joined forces.
Some people seemed to be speaking up for Xia Ping, but in reality, they were still mocking him. If he refused this duel, perhaps no one would look up to him and he would become a laughing stock.
There were seven or eight elite students, and they were all Xie Hao's good friends.
As for the other elite students, this matter was of no concern to them, and they watched coldly from the sidelines.
"Alright, if you want to duel, then let's do it," said Xia Ping with a grin.
What?!
The surrounding elite students were shocked, as they never imagined that Xia Ping would agree so easily.
"Xia Ping!"
The Dean of Students, Zhao Yang, was extremely shocked as well, and he looked at Xia Ping.
"But a bet of 100 Energy Stones is too small, and I'm not interested. If you want to bet, then let's bet something big." Xia Ping stood with his hands behind his back. "A bet of 1,000 Energy Stones, what do you think?"
1,000 Energy Stones?!
Everyone was shocked, and they were dumbstruck as they looked at Xia Ping.
After all, even to elite students, 1,000 Energy Stones was a very large amount.
Even though every elite student had a boundless future and obtained the financial support of their clans or various martial arts organizations to assist in their cultivation, it would at least require an elite student to spend two to three years to earn 1,000 Energy Stones.
Normally speaking, a bet of 100 Energy Stones could be considered to be not bad.
Thus, when Xia Ping suddenly suggested a bet of 1,000 Energy Stones, it was like a rich man asking a pauper to bet 10 million RMB. No matter who it was, they would be stunned for a long time and not dare believe their ears.
"1,000 Energy Stones?"
The relaxed expression on Xie Hao's face vanished as he stared at Xia Ping. Because even though this amount couldn't be considered to be a complete loss to him, if he were to lose it, it would be a heavy blow.
This was an amount that required him to think carefully.
