"D-Senior Brother Duan Lingtian actually accepted the Death Duel invitation that Senior Brother Feng Fan sent him? Am I seeing things? "
"You're not seeing things! I saw it too! He really did accept the Death Duel invitation! "
"Is he really confident or is he just seeking death?"
"That's hard to say … However, I don't think he's someone who's seeking death."
"Perhaps, he doesn't even know Senior Brother Feng Fan's background."
…
The group of outer court disciples in the distance burst into an uproar when they saw Duan Lingtian leaving his fingerprint on the Death Duel invitation. Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
It was apparent that the outcome was beyond their expectations.
The group of outer court disciples only regained their senses when Duan Lingtian strode away and disappeared before their eyes.
The news of Duan Lingtian accepting Feng Fan's Death Duel invitation swept through the entire Moon Illumination Sect's outer court district like a hurricane, shocking everyone in the outer court.
Whether it was the outer court elders or the outer court disciples, all of them were in an uproar.
The outcome was unexpected.
"He accepted my Death Duel invitation?"
Feng Fan was stunned when he received the news. He did not expect Duan Lingtian to accept his Death Duel invitation.
"Hurmph! Since you're seeking death, I'll fulfill your wish. "
Feng Fan snorted coldly.
"Three days later, at the training field. We'll fight to the death!"
Soon after, Feng Fan spread the news. In less than half an hour, it spread throughout the outer court district.
"I'm happy to oblige."
Duan Lingtian's reply was simple.
Duan Lingtian who replied to Feng Fan had just gone to the outer court's place to collect Saint Stones to collect the Saint Stones he deserved. It was the Saint Stones he received two months after coming to the Moon Illumination Sect.
The Saint Stones collected by the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court disciples could be accumulated. This was different from the Latent Dragon Camp in the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City.
"The 100 outer court disciples staying in the independent courtyard can collect 100 seventh-grade Saint Stones and 1,000 eighth-grade Saint Stones every month … It's equivalent to 2,000 eighth-grade Saint Stones."
Duan Lingtian had just received two hundred seventh-grade saint stones and two thousand eighth-grade saint stones.
Now, other than the fifth-grade and fourth-grade Saint Stones that Xue Nai had given him, he had a total of twelve hundred seventh-grade Saint Stones and ten thousand eighth-grade Saint Stones.
The 10,000 seventh-grade Saint Stones were given to him by his teacher, Fang Hui, the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
As for the Eighth Grade Saint Stone, he had obtained it from the Latent Dragon Camp.
Even if he became Fang Hui's disciple, he would still be able to go to the Latent Dragon Camp to collect eighth-grade Saint Stones every month. Of course, the amount of eighth-grade Saint Stones he received would not be so little.
As for the other eighth-grade Saint Stones, he had left them to the little girl, Shi Shi, when he was still in Mound Hill City. He asked her to find time to pass them to Hong Yu, the big brother he had acknowledged in Mound Hill City.
The reason for this was because Hong Yu's temper was too stubborn. Ever since the first time he accepted the Saint Stone, he was unwilling to accept it again even if he was beaten to death.
"Three days later, the battle to the death will be held … I wonder if anyone in the outer court has set up a gambling house during these three days."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian discovered that there was indeed someone who had set up a gambling house.
Moreover, the person who set up the gambling house was not an outer court disciple but an outer court deacon … This outer court deacon's name was Deng Wei!
When Duan Lingtian saw Deng Wei, he could not help but be taken aback.
He recognized this outer court deacon. He was one of the two outer court deacons who followed the outer court elder, Dong Chong, during the entrance assessment of the Moon Illumination Sect two months ago.
The gambling house set up by Deng Wei was very exaggerated.
In the battle to the death three days later, those who bet on Duan Lingtian winning would have a one to five ratio while those who bet on Feng Fan winning would have a one to one ratio.
In other words, those who bet on Duan Lingtian winning would have to bet a seventh-grade Saint Stone. If Duan Lingtian won, he would get five more seventh-grade Saint Stones. On the other hand, those who bet on Feng Fan winning would have to bet a hundred seventh-grade Saint Stones. Even if Feng Fan won, he would only get one more seventh-grade Saint Stone.
"Isn't the payout too exaggerated? There's no profit in betting on Senior Brother Feng Fan at all! "
"It's normal. Who's Senior Brother Feng Fan? He's an Earth Ranking powerhouse! In my opinion, Senior Martial Brother Feng Fan will definitely win the life and death duel in three days. Therefore, I've decided to bet 300 seventh-grade Saint Stones on Senior Brother Feng Fan. "
"I'll also bet 500 seventh-grade Saint Stones on Senior Brother Feng Fan … No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. As long as Senior Brother Feng Fan wins, not only will I get my money back, but I'll also get five more seventh-grade Saint Stones."
"There's no suspense in this battle at all. I'll also bet on Senior Brother Feng Fan winning."
…
A group of outer court disciples went to Deng Wei to place their bets. Almost all of them bet on Feng Fan winning. Although the payout was one to one, as one of the outer court disciples said, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat.
When Deng Wei saw all the outer court disciples placing their bets on Feng Fan winning, he was fine in the beginning. However, in the end, his face turned dark.
Similar to these outer court disciples, he also felt that Feng Fan would definitely win three days later!
Initially, he thought that since he had set the payout to one to five for Duan Lingtian, there would be many outer court disciples who would bet on an upset. However, he did not expect that nobody would bet on Duan Lingtian winning.
"Why don't all of you place your bets on Duan Lingtian winning? If Duan Lingtian wins, the payout will be one to five. "
Deng Wei said to the group of outer court disciples in front of him. It was as though he was tempting them to bet on Duan Lingtian winning.
"Tsk! If I bet on Duan Lingtian winning, won't I be giving you free money? "
"1: 5. For a battle of life and death where there is almost no suspense, the temptation is too little."
"I'll bet on Senior Brother Feng Fan winning, 1,000 seventh-grade Saint Stones."
"I'll also bet on Senior Brother Feng Fan winning, 800 seventh-grade Saint Stones."
…
No matter how Deng Wei tried to tempt them, the group of outer court disciples seemed to have made up their minds and continued to bet on Feng Fan. They did not even consider betting on Duan Lingtian winning at all.
"Why do they have so little confidence in me?"
Duan Lingtian, who was standing in the distance and did not attract any attention, laughed self-deprecatingly. "It seems like they all think that I'll be the one who dies three days later."
At the same time, Duan Lingtian heard the voice of the outer court deacon, Deng Wei.
"Since there are too many people who have bet on Feng Fan winning, from now on, the payout will be two to one."
Deng Wei, who was acting as the banker, had cold sweat on his forehead.
Although the payout was only one to one when they bet on Feng Fan winning, almost all of them had bet on Feng Fan winning. If this continued, he would definitely lose money.
For this reason, he decided to change the payout in time.
"Deacon Deng, isn't this a little too unfair? Why is it that those who bet on Senior Brother Feng Fan winning had a payout of one to one, but now it's only two to one? "
"That's right! Deacon Deng, you're discriminating! "
…
Deng Wei's last-minute change in the payout had angered the crowd. In just a short while, the payout for Feng Fan winning was only two to one.
Was this not cheating them?
"Silence."
Deng Wei did not expect that his words would cause the situation to spiral out of control. "I haven't finished speaking yet … The payout should be changed, but it's not just the payout for Feng Fan winning, it's also the payout for Duan Lingtian winning."
"All of you were present earlier, and almost all of you bet on Feng Fan winning … When it's your turn, ask yourselves, would you do the same as them?"
"Naturally, I, Deng Wei, won't only lose money since I set up this bet. Otherwise, why would I be working so hard here?"
After Deng Wei finished speaking, the outer court disciples present on the scene nodded in unison. They felt that Deng Wei's words made sense.
"Then, what's the payout for Senior Brother Duan Lingtian winning now?"
Many outer court disciples asked.
"The payout for Duan Lingtian winning is one to ten!"
Deng Wei said through gritted teeth. Since he did not think that Duan Lingtian would win, it was not a big deal for him to set such a high payout.
Moreover, he believed that with such a high payout, many people would take the risk.
Soon after, Deng Wei smiled.
Just as he had expected, the people who placed their bets at the back were no longer one-sidedly betting on Duan Lingtian winning. Some of them even bet on Duan Lingtian winning. Although there were not many people who bet on Duan Lingtian winning, the Saint Stones that these people had bet were enough to turn his losses into profits.
"One to ten?"
When he heard that his payout was so high, even Duan Lingtian could not help but feel tempted. He quickly walked over.
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian?"
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is here! Is he here to place a bet as well? "
"I think so."
…
Many outer court disciples noticed Duan Ling Tian and made way for him as though they had discussed among themselves.
"If I were him, I would definitely bet all of my assets. After all, it's either death or life after three days! If he dies, it's useless to keep all of his assets. However, if he lives, he'll be able to reap great rewards. "
An outer court disciple said in a low voice.
"You're right. I do want to place a huge bet."
Duan Lingtian looked at the outer court disciple who had spoken. After the latter's expression changed slightly, Duan Lingtian said with a faint smile.
"Deacon Deng, I'll bet 10,000 seventh-grade Saint Stones that I'll win!"
Duan Lingtian said as he walked up to Deng Wei.
10,000 seventh-grade Saint Stones!
Initially, Deng Wei's expression was gloomy because of Duan Lingtian's appearance. However, when he heard Duan Lingtian's words, the gloomy expression on his face disappeared and was replaced by a smile.
Duan Lingtian had caused his nephew, Deng Yu, to be unable to enter the sect during the entrance assessment two months ago. He could not wait to tear Duan Lingtian into pieces.
Therefore, when he saw Duan Lingtian earlier, he naturally did not have a good expression on his face.
However, now that Duan Lingtian had given him 10,000 seventh-grade Saint Stones, he was instantly overjoyed.
Now that he thought about it, Duan Lingtian would be killed by Feng Fan in three days. At that time, Feng Fan would indirectly help him to avenge his nephew.
Apart from that, he would also be able to obtain 10,000 seventh-grade Saint Stones.
Deng Wei was instantly overjoyed.
"Duan Lingtian, it seems like you're very confident in yourself."
