After being forced back by Lu Xuan's move, Xiao Long actually stopped attacking. Instead, he put away the saber in his hand and said, "Junior Brother Lu's strength is indeed extraordinary. I did not expect your sword intent to have reached such a level. I have lost."
Xiao Long's sudden admission of defeat surprised everyone once again. They saw that Xiao Long had the upper hand before, but as soon as Lu Xuan's sword will was unleashed, Xiao Long decisively admitted defeat. The turn of events happened too quickly, and no one was able to react in time.
While everyone was stunned, Sun Yingshuai was the first to recover. His face suddenly sank as he said, "Senior Brother Xiao, you cannot go easy in this competition. You clearly had the upper hand earlier, yet you suddenly surrendered. I'm afraid you will not be able to explain yourself, right?"
Xiao Long's defeat meant that the one hundred Mid Grade Origin Stones that Sun Yingshuai had added earlier were all for naught. How could Sun Yingshuai accept this? He was determined to make Lu Xuan bleed.
"Hmph, what do you know?" Xiao Long snorted coldly. He did not give Sun Yingshuai any face at all. He did not even bother to explain. After being used by Sun Yingshuai earlier, Xiao Long already bore a grudge against Sun Yingshuai.
"Senior Brother Xiao, I respect you as my Senior Brother. Even if you have a problem with me, you can't use your position to take revenge. You clearly wanted Lu Xuan to win my one hundred Mid Grade Origin Stones. That's why you surrendered on purpose. Everyone here saw this. Even if you do not give me an explanation, you should at least give them an explanation, right? "Sun Yingshuai did not believe that Lu Xuan could defeat Xiao Long.
Hearing this, Xiao Long glanced at everyone present. When he saw everyone's doubtful gazes land on him, he said, "How ignorant. Lu Xuan's sword intent has already reached the middle stage. It is close to the peak of the middle stage. What is so strange about him defeating me? If you, Sun Yingshuai, can reach the peak of the middle stage, I will surrender."
When the core disciples heard Xiao Long's words, they all exclaimed, "Peak of the middle stage sword intent?!"
There were not many among them who had comprehended the sword intent, let alone reaching the peak of the middle stage. Earlier, Lu Xuan's sword intent had only flashed by. Naturally, they could not see it. However, since Xiao Long said this, it must be true. Xiao Long's reputation among the core disciples was quite good.
Sword intent at the peak of the Middle Stage? Sun Yingshuai's expression instantly became even more unsightly. He'd originally thought that Lu Xuan was just a good-for-nothing, but he'd never expected that his Sword Intent had already reached the peak of the intermediate-stage. This was truly difficult for him to accept.
"If I persist, I can indeed continue to exchange a few blows with Lu Xuan. But in the end, I will definitely fail. Why should I continue?" Xiao Long calmly spoke, no longer paying attention to Sun Yingshuai. Instead, he looked at Lu Xuan with admiration and said, "Junior Brother Lu's talent and comprehension are truly admirable. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely seek guidance from Junior Brother Lu. However, although I have lost, Senior Brother Kong is still up next. Junior Brother Lu, you must be careful."
Xiao Long's magnanimity won Lu Xuan's favor. If Xiao Long insisted on fighting him to the end, Lu Xuan might have to use the Startling Cloud Sword Technique to defeat him. After all, Xiao Long had comprehended Blade Intent and had mastered a Profound Rank Martial Skill.
"Haha, Xiao Long is indeed not Lu Xuan's opponent. You will know in a moment. Don't think that Xiao Long is going easy on him." A laugh suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked over and saw Instructor Yang and a few people walking over.
"Greetings, Instructor Yang!"
"Greetings, Instructor Guo!"
"Greetings, Instructor Ma!"
All the disciples bowed. The three people who came were all instructors of the Cloud Sky Mountain, and they were all in the late stage of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Other than during lectures, it was not easy for the core disciples to see them. Unexpectedly, three of them came at the same time.
"No need to be so polite." Instructor Yang waved his hand and said, "You guys continue to discuss martial arts. I and the other instructors are just spectators."
After saying that, Instructor Yang and the others stood at the back and looked at Lu Xuan on the Martial Arts Arena. They did not move forward.
"Is this the Lu Xuan you were talking about? Is he really that monstrous? " Instructor Guo asked curiously. Instructor Yang had just bragged to him that he had found a rare genius. When he found out that Lu Xuan and the others were here to discuss martial arts, he quickly rushed over.
"Why would I lie to you? Lu Xuan has already defeated Xiao Long. It seems that only Kong Wenbin can go up. Kong Wenbin is also in the Spirit Refinement Realm. You guys will know when you see him." Instructor Yang said.
The three instructors immediately stopped talking and waited for the last round of martial arts discussion to begin.
"Sun Yingshuai, is it? I will gladly accept this prize of yours. Thank you very much for your generous gift. " Lu Xuan smiled and walked to the side. He picked up his treasured longsword and Sun Yingshuai's one hundred mid-grade primordial stones.
Seeing that so many primordial stones that he took out from home were all in Lu Xuan's pocket, Sun Yingshuai felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. One hundred mid-grade primordial stones, if converted to low-grade primordial stones, would be ten thousand. It was a huge number for him.
Sun Yingshuai clenched his teeth and said again, "Wait! Since you accepted my prize just now, do you dare to accept it again? "
"Oh? You still want to give me a gift? "Lu Xuan said in surprise.
"Hmph, as long as you have the ability to take it, so what?" Sun Yingshuai made up his mind and said, "This time, I will bet another two hundred mid-grade primordial stones!"
As soon as he said this, all the disciples present could not help but reveal a shocked expression. Sun Yingshuai was playing bigger and bigger. He had already lost one hundred mid-grade primordial stones, and he still wanted to bet another two hundred?
"Sun Yingshuai is quite smart. The next one is Senior Kong. No matter how powerful Junior Lu is, how can he be Senior Kong's opponent? If Lu Xuan accepts, not only can Sun Yingshuai recoup his losses, but he can also win two treasured weapons from Junior Lu. This is a good plan." A disciple said in a low voice. Hearing this, all the disciples nodded.
"Junior Lu will definitely not accept it. It is obvious that he will be at a disadvantage. Even if he does not accept, it is reasonable and he will not be laughed at. After all, the difference in strength is too big." A disciple said with certainty.
"Two hundred mid-grade primordial stones, such a big bet!" Lu Xuan slowly withdrew his hand from the round plate, "Since you want to bet, then place your primordial stones."
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked!
"What? Lu Xuan actually accepted it? Is he stupid? "
"Junior Lu, the next person to compete with you is Senior Kong, who has reached the Spirit Refinement Realm. Think twice!"
Everyone tried to persuade Lu Xuan. They also did not want to see Lu Xuan suffer such a big loss the moment he joined the sect.
Sun Yingshuai was also shocked. He originally thought that he would have to provoke Lu Xuan. He did not expect Lu Xuan to agree so easily.
However, his face immediately revealed a look of ecstasy. Only a fool would not accept such a big bargain!
"Good! A gentleman keeps his word. Since you have accepted it, you cannot go back on your words! "Sun Yingshuai quickly said. At the same time, he quickly took out the primordial stones from his storage ring.
However, he had already taken out a hundred Primal Stones earlier. Right now, there weren't that many left in his Storage Ring. After some discussion, Sun Yingshuai borrowed fifty Medium Grade Primal Stones from his two good friends. At the same time, he took out his own Bejeweled Weapon.
Then, Sun Yingshuai placed a hundred and fifty mid-grade primordial stones and a treasured weapon on the round plate.
"The bet is here. If you have the ability, you can take it!" Sun Yingshuai said confidently. In order to make up for the bet, not only did he owe a hundred primordial stones, he also mortgaged his weapon. It could be said that he had put in a lot of capital. If he was not sure that he would win this time, he would not dare to bet everything on this.
At this moment, Kong Wenbin also slowly walked to the Martial Arts Arena. Not only did Kong Wenbin not feel sorry for Xiao Long's failure, but he was also extremely happy. This way, he would have the opportunity to fight with Lu Xuan personally.
Although Lu Xuan's power had somewhat exceeded his expectations, especially his sword intent at the peak of the middle stage, which had surprised him quite a bit, he still believed that he could definitely beat Lu Xuan. The power of the Spirit Refinement Realm was the reason why he was so confident.
"Since even Junior Brother Sun has taken out such a big bet, as a Senior Brother, I naturally cannot be stingy. I will also add two hundred mid-grade primordial stones." Kong Wenbin said. With a swish, two hundred primordial stones were thrown on the round plate.
"Hiss!" All the disciples gasped again. This Martial Arts Competition was getting more and more interesting. Kong Wenbin actually added two hundred mid-grade primordial stones. In an instant, the atmosphere in the Martial Arts Competition Hall became a little heavy.
In total, the bet for both parties had reached a total of eight hundred mid-grade primordial stones. If Lu Xuan was able to win, he would be able to obtain four hundred mid-grade primordial stones. If he lost, he would lose everything!
"Senior Brother Kong is really generous. He actually thinks so highly of me." Lu Xuan's face gradually turned cold. Sun Yingshuai did this because the conflict between the two of them was irreconcilable. Naturally, he would do anything.
However, the conflict between him and Kong Wenbin hadn't reached such a stage. In the eyes of outsiders, it was natural that Kong Wenbin would win against Lu Xuan. Kong Wenbin probably thought so too. However, he still placed two hundred mid-grade primordial stones as a bet. Obviously, he was purposely making things difficult for Lu Xuan and dealing a heavy blow to Lu Xuan.
Kong Wenbin wasn't moved at all. He said indifferently, "You have even placed your weapon as a bet. Obviously, you can't take out more primordial stones. However, it doesn't matter. I will only exchange these two hundred primordial stones for a promise from you. If you lose and give up on pursuing Chenxi, as long as you agree, these primordial stones will be yours regardless of the result."
"Senior Brother Kong, aren't you looking down on me, Xia Chenxi?" Before Lu Xuan could say anything, Xia Chenxi's sullen voice sounded first. No matter how good her temper was, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
When Xia Chenxi opened her mouth, Kong Wenbin instantly panicked. He quickly said, "Chenxi, I didn't mean it like that. How can you be compared to a mere two hundred mid-grade primordial stones? It's just that this brat isn't worthy of you …"
"Senior Brother Kong, you don't have to say anymore." Xia Chenxi interrupted Kong Wenbin's words. "Isn't it just two hundred mid-grade primordial stones? Lu Xuan, I will help you with this bet! "
