"Then I'll look for you after I win, Deacon Deng."
Duan Lingtian put away the receipt and smiled at Deng Wei.
"I'll wait for you."
Deng Wei had a hypocritical smile on his face, but his heart was filled with disdain. 'We'll talk about it again when you're still alive!'
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is so generous! He's betting 10,000 seventh-grade Saint Stones in one go! "
"Although I'm an outer court disciple in the stone house area, I can only receive 100 seventh-grade Saint Stones a month … Even if I don't use them, I'll need more than eight years to save 10,000 seventh-grade Saint Stones."
"It seems like Senior Brother Duan Lingtian was from one of the eighteen cities under our Moon Illumination Sect before he entered the sect. Not only that, but he's also valued by the City Governor of that city."
"This point is already very obvious."
…
As Duan Lingtian placed his bet, the atmosphere at the scene became even livelier.
Many of the outer court disciples placed their bets even more ruthlessly.
Naturally, most of them placed their bets on Duan Lingtian. Even so, Deng Wei was still smiling from ear to ear. There were also many people who placed their bets on Duan Lingtian as well.
In his opinion, those who placed their bets on Duan Lingtian, including Duan Lingtian himself, were basically giving him free money.
"From now on, apart from Saint Stones, you can also place your bets with Merit Points!"
Deng Wei announced loudly.
The moment his words left his mouth, he looked at Duan Lingtian who had not gone far and said with a smile, "Duan Lingtian, your master before you entered the Moon Illumination Sect must have given you a lot of Merit Points, right?"
Merit Points!
The moment Deng Wei spoke, an uproar broke out among the crowd.
Merit Points were rarer than Saint Stones in the Moon Illumination Sect.
No matter how many Saint Stones one used to exchange for Merit Points, not many people would be willing to do so.
In the Moon Illumination Sect, Merit Points could be used to borrow Human Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactics and exchange for Human Rank Prominent Saint Weapons and Earth Rank Primitive Saint Weapons. Naturally, it would require a lot of Merit Points to exchange for Earth Rank Primitive Saint Weapons.
In the outer court, only the outer court elders and deacons possessed low-grade earth-rank saint artifacts.
An Earth Rank Primitive Saint Weapon that was not inscribed with Saint Inscriptions would cost several tens of thousands of Merit Points to exchange for. A Saint Weapon that was inscribed with Saint Inscriptions was even more precious.
Naturally, other than the Earth Rank Primitive Saint Weapons, the Merit Points could also be used to exchange for high-grade Saint Grade Pills and some powerful Dao Talismans.
"Merit points?"
Hearing Deng Wei's words, how could Duan Lingtian not know that Deng Wei was eyeing his merit points?
However, he did have a lot of merit points.
Before he left Mound Hill City, his teacher had transferred 100,000 Merit Points to him … Of course, not all 100,000 Merit Points were given to him. He only had 50,000 Merit Points.
Of the other fifty thousand, thirty thousand were Ling Yun's, and the remaining twenty thousand were Xiong Hu's.
He was only keeping it for the time being.
In the Moon Illumination Sect, the outer court disciples could only receive their merit points once every six months. Moreover, even the outer court disciples in the independent courtyard could only receive 1,000 merit points every six months.
The outer court disciples in the stone house area and the wooden house area would receive even less merit points every six months.
In the Moon Illumination Sect, the accumulation of merit points did not depend on the merit points that were received every six months. Instead, it depended on various ways to complete various missions and contribute to the Moon Illumination Sect to earn merit points.
"I bet 1,000 merit points that Senior Brother Feng Fan will win!"
Soon after, an outer court disciple clenched his teeth and said to Deng Wei.
After a while, he obtained a written pledge and transferred 1,000 merit points from the crystal card that he always carried with him to Deng Wei as a bet.
As long as Feng Fan won three days later, he would be able to obtain an additional five merit points.
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up when he saw that someone was really betting with merit points.
At the same time, he looked at Deng Wei who had shifted his attention back to him and said nonchalantly, "Deacon Deng, although I have a lot of merit points with me, I don't plan to play with you anymore."
"I think you don't dare to play with me!"
Deng Wei sneered. "Duan Lingtian, as the saying goes, 'Bring nothing with you when you're born, bring nothing with you when you die' … If I were you, I'd definitely bet all my merit points on myself and fight with my back to the wall!"
"Don't dare to play with me?"
Duan Lingtian smiled. "I didn't say I don't want to play with you … I just don't want to play with you anymore. I plan to play by myself! "
"What do you mean?"
Deng Wei frowned.
At once, the group of outer court disciples on the scene shifted their attention to Duan Lingtian. They were puzzled since they did not know what Duan Lingtian meant.
"Everyone, I also plan to be the banker and make a big bet … However, if I'm the banker, I'll only accept bets from those who bet on Feng Fan winning. I'll only accept Merit Points! I'll be the only one betting with all of you! However, the odds of me being the banker are much higher than Deacon Deng's! "
Faced with the puzzled gazes, Duan Lingtian announced loudly, "Three days later, I'll have a Death Duel with Feng Fan … The odds of Feng Fan winning are 30 to 1!"
As soon as Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, the entire place fell silent.
It turned out that Duan Lingtian was referring to this when he said he planned to play by himself.
He would be the banker.
He would only accept bets from those who bet on Feng Fan winning.
Moreover, the odds were 30 to 1.
In other words, if one bet 1,000 merit points on Feng Fan winning, in addition to getting back their 1,000 merit points, they would also get an additional 33 merit points.
Many outer court disciples' eyes lit up immediately. "Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, I'll bet 900 merit points!"
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, I'll bet 700 merit points as well!"
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, I'll bet 1,200 merit points!"
…
A group of outer court disciples surrounded Duan Lingtian and placed their bets one after another.
Duan Lingtian was the banker, and the odds of Feng Fan winning were 30 to 1. On the other hand, Deng Wei's odds of Feng Fan winning were only 200 to 1.
As long as one was not a fool, one would know what to choose.
For a time, no one placed their bets on Deng Wei.
"Hmph!"
Deng Wei snorted coldly when he saw the outer court disciples surrounding Duan Lingtian and placing their bets. His voice that was filled with True Energy exploded like thunder. "Think about it. If he only accepts bets on Feng Fan winning, do you think he'll have enough merit points in the end?"
Many outer court disciples calmed down when they heard Deng Wei's words.
That was right.
Although the odds were only 30 to 1, they would have to pay out a lot of merit points if they placed bets on Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian, are you trying to gain something without risking anything?"
Deng Wei sneered.
In the face of Deng Wei's sneer and the doubts of the outer court disciples, Duan Lingtian did not say a word. He took out his Crystal Card and infused his True Energy into it, revealing the balance in it.
100,000 merit points!
When the outer court disciples saw the number of merit points on the Crystal Card in Duan Lingtian's hand, their eyes turned red. They could not wait to snatch Duan Lingtian's Crystal Card away.
"100,000 merit points. The odds are 30 to 1. It's enough to pay out 3,000,000 merit points. Now, do you still doubt whether I have the money to pay you back?"
Duan Lingtian asked calmly as he looked around.
"No!"
The outer court disciples shook their heads immediately.
What a joke!
With 100,000 merit points, even if it was a bet of 3,000,000 merit points, Senior Brother Duan Lingtian would still be able to afford it.
"However, I only have 100,000 merit points. So, those who want to place bets with me have to hurry up. Once I accept a bet of 3,000,000 merit points, I won't accept any more bets. "
Duan Lingtian struck while the iron was hot.
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, I want to place a bet! 2,000 merit points! "
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, I want to place a bet too! One thousand five hundred merit points! "
…
Suddenly, a group of outer court disciples rushed to place their bets on Duan Lingtian, making it difficult for Duan Lingtian to deal with them. "Line up and do it one by one."
Every time a Merit Point was transferred to his Crystal Card, Duan Lingtian would send out a receipt and place his fingerprint on it.
Deng Wei's expression turned even gloomier when he saw that his words did not affect Duan Lingtian at all. Instead, it increased the momentum on Duan Lingtian's side.
"Duan Lingtian, first, you caused my nephew to have no fate with the sect. Now, you're cutting off my source of income … Damn you!"
Deng Wei's eyes were bloodshot. He could not wait to tear Duan Lingtian into pieces.
However, he was only an outer court deacon. Even if he was an outer court elder, he would not dare to kill anyone in the sect. Otherwise, he would be executed according to the sect's rules.
Therefore, he could only endure it.
Deng Wei's body began to tremble violently due to his anger.
"I'll definitely be there in three days and watch Feng Fan kill you with my own eyes!"
Deng Wei glared coldly at Duan Lingtian as he gritted his teeth.
"That's right!"
The moment Deng Wei thought of this, his eyebrows twitched. A smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth as though he had just recalled something.
"Duan Lingtian, you keep saying that you only accept bets on Feng Fan winning … However, if Feng Fan wins, you'll die as well. At that time, who's going to fulfill the bet for you? How are you going to compensate everyone with your Merit Points? "
Deng Wei's voice that was filled with True Energy resonated in the air again. It was like a clap of thunder that exploded in the ears of all the outer court disciples.
"That's right. If Senior Brother Feng Fan wins in three days, won't Senior Brother Duan Lingtian die? "
"How is a dead person going to fulfill the bet?"
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, what do you say?"
…
The group of outer court disciples discussed among themselves as they looked at Duan Lingtian. "I hope Senior Brother Duan Lingtian can give us an explanation … Otherwise, we can only withdraw our Merit Points and not place any bets."
"That's right! You must give us an explanation! "
"Three days later, you'll have a Death Duel with Senior Brother Feng Fan. If you lose, you'll die … At that time, what about our bet?"
…
The group of outer court disciples scrambled to be the first to ask questions.
"You don't have to worry about this."
Duan Lingtian raised his hand to silence the group of outer court disciples before he said with a faint smile, "I'll look for Elder Dongfang to bear witness to today's bet … Moreover, I'll pass my Crystal Card to Elder Dongfang."
