"Wait."
Xie Hao was anxious when he saw Xia Ping was about to leave, and he stopped him immediately.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Ping said indifferently, "If you want to bet with me, I won't agree if you don't have enough money."
All the elite students in the surroundings were surprised. According to Xie Hao's plan, Xia Ping should have been forced into a hopeless situation and had no choice but to agree to the duel this time.
But a single sentence had turned the situation around immediately, and Xie Hao was at a disadvantage while Xia Ping was overbearing.
Now, it was Xie Hao who was in a hopeless situation. If he didn't dare agree, then he would really become a laughing stock.
But to be honest, no one had expected Xia Ping to be so daring. Not only did he agree to the challenge, he even wanted to bet 1,000 energy stones. Thus, Xie Hao's imposing manner was instantly suppressed.
"Since you have the balls to bet with me, why wouldn't I dare? Someone is giving me 1,000 energy stones. Wouldn't I be a fool if I didn't accept it? "Xie Hao sneered and stared at Xia Ping. He had made up his mind.
Although he was slightly shocked by the amount Xia Ping said earlier, he quickly recovered from his shock. This duel was within his grasp. So what if the bet was huge? It was just giving him money.
If he was really intimidated by this kid, then he, Xie Hao, would become a laughing stock among the elite students.
"Very good. Straightforward enough."
Xia Ping smiled lightly. He was just worrying that no one would give him money. He didn't expect that someone would stupidly come to him now. This time, he wouldn't let it go if he didn't make a killing off this idiot.
"Sign the contract, and then we'll go to the combat room on the second floor." Xie Hao gave Xia Ping a contract with a series of legal provisions on it.
Xia Ping signed the contract very quickly. Once the outcome of the duel was decided, then both parties couldn't go back on this bet. Otherwise, the Federation Government would pursue the matter.
"Let's go."
Xie Hao was instantly at ease when he saw Xia Ping sign the contract. He turned around and walked up to the second floor, leading the way.
"Xia Ping, you're too impulsive. How can you compete with him?"
Dean Zhao Yang shook his head and sighed. "Although you're a genius as well, which elite student isn't a genius? Moreover, he has cultivated for a few more years than you, and his Martial Dao techniques are extremely powerful.
"Even if he suppresses his cultivation to fight you, your chances of winning aren't high."
He felt that Xia Ping would definitely lose this time, and he would have to compensate a thousand Energy Stones. This wasn't a small amount.
The other elite students also looked at Xia Ping with pity. They felt that this brat was too stupid and too arrogant. He actually dared to agree to a bet with Xie Hao and took the initiative to raise the stakes. If this wasn't courting death, then what was?
On the other hand, Xie Hao's companions from before felt bitter and hateful. If they'd known earlier that this kid was an idiot, then they would have challenged him as well. Now, all 1,000 Energy Stones had fallen into Xie Hao's hands, and they had utterly no share.
"Director."
Xia Ping stood with his hands clasped behind his back and looked at Zhao Yang, the director of teaching. "Whether I really have no chance of winning or not, I won't know until I can't beat him. If the older people in this world have the stronger combat power and will definitely win, then why do we need to compete in martial arts? Why do we need to fight? Why don't we just directly rank according to age? "
"This, this!"
Hearing this, Dean Zhao Yang was shocked, and then he looked deeply at Xia Ping. If he wasn't absolutely confident, how could he say such a thing?
Moreover, this student in front of him wasn't an idiot. He also knew the other party's combat power, but he still insisted on carrying out the bet. If he wasn't confident, why would he agree to it and even raise the stakes?
…
A few minutes later, in a combat room on the second floor of the training tower.
Xia Ping and Xie Hao both entered, while the surrounding elite students stayed on the first floor. They watched through the monitor in the combat room and the virtual projection, projecting it on the big screen.
"Hmm?"
After entering the combat room, Xia Ping immediately realized that the combat room had changed. It had become like a martial arts dojo, surrounded by vast open space. The area it occupied was very wide, allowing martial artists to display their punches and kicks at will.
He even felt an indescribable energy descend in the combat room, sealing the Quintessential Essence in his body. He could only erupt with the power of a first-layer Martial Master.
Even if he wanted to circulate the cultivation technique in his body, he couldn't use any power that exceeded this range. It was as if he was wearing shackles on his body, and he couldn't break free no matter what.
It was the same for Xie Hao. The aura on his body dropped rapidly, weakening by more than half.
"Amazing."
Xia Ping was very surprised by how advanced this combat room was. The technology inside was simply beyond his imagination.
With a 'ding' sound, a mechanical voice rang out in the combat room. "The duel battlefield is set up in a martial arts dojo. Both parties are at the first-layer Martial Master (limited). There is no time limit. If one party voluntarily surrenders or gets up after falling to the ground, it won't be considered a loss.
"Now, let the duel begin!"
Boom!
As soon as the voice rang out, Xie Hao instantly attacked, slashing with his sword. He had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with Xia Ping. He wanted to get rid of Xia Ping immediately and obtain victory.
Although he looked very arrogant earlier, he was a meticulous person. He was extremely cautious and understood the principle of a lion going all out even when hunting a rabbit.
Swoosh!
At this moment, his longsword seemed to pierce through the air, exploding with a shocking sword Qi. It was like a white ray of light, piercing straight towards Xia Ping.
Even the air produced visible ripples, containing terrifying penetrative power. The speed had already surpassed the speed of sound. Once hit, even titanium alloy would be pierced through!
Such swordsmanship had reached the acme of perfection.
Even Mu Bancheng back then couldn't be compared to Xie Hao. He was already an expert at the master level of swordsmanship. He had an extremely deep understanding of swordsmanship.
Retreat!
Feeling the threat of the sword Qi, Xia Ping's figure retreated rapidly. He performed the Kun Peng Steps and a transparent pair of wings appeared on his back. In an instant, he retreated a hundred meters to the side.
With a thud, the sword Qi pierced through the wall of the martial arts dojo behind Xia Ping. There was even a clear crack on the ground.
"Haha, you were quite arrogant just now. You even wanted to bet a thousand energy stones with me. Are you bluffing here?" Xie Hao laughed out loud. "What's going on now? Can you only dodge my attack? "
"Perhaps you're very strong among ordinary students and invincible, which gives you great confidence."
"But this is the elite zone of Yanhuang University. Everyone here is a genius, a peerless demon. They're not inferior to you."
"A freshman who hasn't even grown his hair yet dares to come here and behave atrociously. Do you think you're qualified?"
"Today, I'll destroy your prestige and show you that there's always someone better than you!"
