It was the third round of the championship's third segment.
Murong Xuan versus Li Yin.
"Once I defeat you, I'll defeat Nangong Huang! The Black Heaven Sect's unstoppable momentum shall end here! "
"Black Emperor Indestructible Physique!"
Li Yin growled.
A powerful surge of energy qi erupted from his body, and a mysterious Daoist Rhyme surrounded his body. It then attached itself to the surface of his body and quickly dyed his body black like ink.
Murong Xuan glanced at him and said, "Do you know where Nangong Huang is now?"
Upon hearing that, Li Yin frowned. He scanned the entire arena but did not see Nangong Huang, nor did he see him in the spectator stands.
"He's gone back."
Murong Xuan answered.
"What do you mean? He's not participating in the tournament?"
"What's there to participate for? If I beat you, it'll just be me and him left. We're both from the Black Heaven Sect, so it doesn't matter who wins or loses."
Li Yin understood, but he was even more annoyed now. "I'd like to see how you're going to break my Black Emperor Indestructible Physique!"
As he spoke, he charged towards Murong Xuan. His violent aura was like an ancient ferocious beast, terrifying to behold.
However, Murong Xuan's eyes turned cold. He did not retreat, but instead slashed out with his sword. Then, an earth-shattering sword qi surged towards Li Yin.
Li Yin let out a low roar and stood still. Countless sword qi landed on his body, letting out a series of clanging sounds.
"It's useless. Your sword qi can't break my body."
"You can't beat me."
Li Yin said loudly.
In fact, this earth-shattering sword qi could not hurt him at all. It did not even leave a white mark on his body.
Such a powerful physique tempering technique shocked many people.
"Amazing, he can win! He can beat Murong Xuan! "
"The Black Heaven Sect's invincible momentum will end here."
The crowd of sky-prides was extremely excited.
In the spectator stands, Linghu Clan Head laughed and said to Chu Kuangren, "It looks like Murong Xuan is going to lose."
"Oh, do you want to make a bet?"
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
"What bet?"
"Let's bet on whether or not Murong Xuan will win. If he wins, I want a hundred million catties of high-tier spirit stones from your Murong clan. How about that?"
Many Sage Orthodoxies were shocked when they heard this.
A hundred million catties of Upper Spiritual Stones was not a small sum. Even a Sage Orthodoxy would find it difficult to fork out such a sum.
Was Chu Kuangren really so sure that Murong Xuan would win?
Patriarch Linghu's heart began to beat a retreat.
However, when he saw that Murong Xuan's sword energy could not harm Li Yin at all, he suddenly had an idea.
Could it be that Chu Kuangren was just bluffing?
He pretended to be calm, but in reality, he was not sure that Murong Xuan would win either. However, with his usual style of doing things, it would not be appropriate for him to show it directly.
He even used an outrageous bet to hide the uneasiness in his heart. He felt that he would be scared and not dare to bet with him …
Patriarch Linghu thought about many things. Then, he looked at Chu Kuangren's calm face and felt that he was right.
If Chu Kuangren really thought that Murong Xuan could win, then he should have shown an appropriate amount of uneasiness to trick Patriarch Linghu into betting with him. However, he was so calm, which meant that he was feeling uneasy and was pretending to be calm to scare Patriarch Linghu off so that he would not dare to bet with him …
What a cunning Chu Kuangren!
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren had no idea that Patriarch Linghu had gone through a brainstorm in that short period of time.
All he saw was Patriarch Linghu laughing and saying, "Chu Kuangren, do you really think I'm scared? I'll bet with you! "
"However, if Murong Xuan loses, I don't want any soulstones. All I want is the Descendant Self Sword on your waist."
Chu Kuangren raised an eyebrow. "You want my Descendant Self Sword with just a hundred million soulstones? You're really shameless."
After all, the Descendant Self Sword had fused with a Sword Soul and possessed a complete spiritual consciousness. It was almost foreseeable that it would become an Emperor Weapon in the future.
Not to mention a hundred million soulstones, even a billion soulstones would not be enough.
"Why, are you afraid?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. It's a deal then."
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
At his words, the Descendant Self Sword trembled a little as if it was a little displeased that Chu Kuangren was using it as a gambling chip.
"Don't worry, he won't win."
Chu Kuangren placed his hand on the sword's hilt and comforted it for a while.
Compared to his calmness, Patriarch Linghu was anxious.
Chu Kuangren had agreed so readily. Was he really sure that Murong Xuan would win? Was his previous speculation wrong?
"I'd like to bet with Brother Chu as well."
At that moment, a voice came from the void.
It was a white-robed elder who had spoken.
Everyone looked at him.
That elder's surname was Hong, and he was the Sky Emperor Palace Lord.
"Oh, even the Sky Emperor Palace is here to join in the fun. I don't think I've had any dealings with you guys," Chu Kuangren said.
"Heh, I'm just a gambler. I couldn't help myself when I heard someone talking about gambling. Please forgive me, Brother Chu."
The Sky Emperor Palace Lord chuckled.
"It's alright. Since Palace Lord Hong is so interested, I won't reject you. What would you like to bet on, Palace Lord Hong?"
"I'll bet on whether Murong Xuan will win. If he loses, I want that little bird on your shoulder."
At that, the crowd could not help but look at Lil Red, who was perched on Chu Kuangren's shoulder. They were curious as to why the Sky Emperor Palace wanted that bird.
Then, someone thought of something and his eyes narrowed.
"Don't tell me that's the Godly Phoenix?!"
The crowd was in an uproar when they heard that.
Rumor had it that the Godly Phoenix had acknowledged Chu Kuangren as its master. A bird that was valued by the Sky Emperor Palace was naturally extraordinary. It was most likely the Godly Phoenix.
"You want to bet on the Godly Phoenix? Do you have what it takes? "
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
"A billion Top-tier soulstones and two Sage Weapons!"
The Sky Emperor Palace Lord said something shocking.
Compared to Patriarch Linghu, his bet was much bigger.
Even if it was a sage orthodoxy, if they suddenly lost a billion kilograms of spirit stones and two sage artifacts, it would definitely be a huge blow to them.
Only a top-notch sage orthodoxy like the Sky Emperor Palace would dare to make such a bet. If it were any other sage orthodoxy, they would have to think twice even if the bet was reduced by half.
"That's not enough. I want all of the Sky Emperor Palace's cultivation techniques unconditionally. Do you agree?"
"Alright!" The Sky Emperor Palace Lord gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Very well. Is there anyone else who wants to bet with me?"
The other sage orthodoxies looked at each other.
They glanced at Murong Xuan, Li Yin, and then at the Sky Emperor Palace Lord. Seeing that he dared to bet with Chu Kuangren, it seemed like he had a high chance of winning.
"I'll bet three hundred million Top-tier soulstones with Brother Chu. If Murong Xuan loses, I want the Black Heaven Sect's Sage Techniques. I don't need many, just three will do," the Daoist School of Dedication's Sect Leader said.
He had great confidence in Li Yin. He knew how terrifying the Black Emperor Indestructible Physique was, and he was certain that Murong Xuan would not win!
"Deal," Chu Kuangren said.
"I'll bet too. If Murong Xuan wins, the Overlord Sage Tribe will give you two hundred million Top-tier soulstones. If he loses, I want your Illusive Mirage!"
"Two hundred million isn't enough, I want five hundred million!"
"Alright!" The Overlord Sage Tribe Leader gritted his teeth and said.
"Since everyone is so interested, the Thunder Falcon Tribe shall join in the fun as well. If Murong Xuan loses, I want a hundred million Top-tier soulstones from the Black Heaven Sect. If not, the Thunder Falcon Tribe will give you a hundred million Top-tier soulstones."
"Sure."
Chu Kuangren nodded.
"Haha, Sect Leader Chu is so generous. I'll join in the fun as well. Just like the Thunder Falcon Tribe, I'll bet a hundred million Top-tier soulstones."
"Why don't I join in as well?"
The sky-prides from all the sage orthodoxies could not help but gulp when they saw Chu Kuangren making such a shocking bet with the sage orthodoxies' Leaders.
Crazy, crazy …
Chu Kuangren must be crazy!
