"Seems like you still remember."
Deng Wei sneered. "If it weren't for you, it would've been easy for my nephew to enter the sect with his innate talent. However, it's because of you that he's not fated to enter the Moon Illumination Sect in this lifetime."
"Deacon Deng, instead of hating me here, why don't you ask your nephew why he can't even defeat me?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Deng Wei indifferently and ignored him.
His attention was focused on the Crystal Card in his hand.
The Merit Points on the Crystal Card were close to 2.1 million Merit Points. Among them, 100,000 Merit Points were his while the rest were the bets that he had accepted.
"With the capital that I have, I can accept another one million Merit Points as a bet."
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself. At the same time, he shifted his gaze to the group of outer court deacons and outer court elders around him. He thought to himself, 'They're really patient.'
Almost as soon as Duan Lingtian's thought left his mind, an outer court deacon walked over. "Since Deng Wei is here to join in the fun, I naturally won't miss it … How about this? I'll bet 100,000 Merit Points."
"Okay."
Duan Lingtian skillfully accepted the 100,000 Merit Points that the outer court deacon transferred to him. At the same time, he handed the receipt to the outer court deacon and said loudly, "After accepting another 900,000 Merit Points, the gambling house that I set up will no longer accept any bets!"
As soon as Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, the group of outer court deacons could no longer hold themselves back and swarmed over one after another. "I'll bet 50,000 Merit Points!"
"I'll bet 60,000 Merit Points!"
"I'll bet 80,000 Merit Points!"
…
Although they were not as crazy as Deng Wei, they still bet half of their assets.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian's bets had accumulated to more than 2.6 million Merit Points.
At this moment, a few outer court elders walked over.
The person in charge of the entrance exam in the past, Dong Chong, who once wanted to take Duan Lingtian as his direct disciple but was tactfully rejected, was surprisingly among them.
When a few Outer Sect Elders walked over, Duan Lingtian discovered that there was a Mental Energy that swept over him unscrupulously. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped his entire body, as if it was probing for something.
The owner of this mental strength was a slightly chubby outer sect elder. He had a smile on his face and looked harmless.
However, Duan Lingtian was clear in his heart.
This outer court elder was definitely not as simple as he looked on the surface. He was a complete wolf in sheep's clothing.
Hiding a dagger in a smile, this was the kind of person who would do such a thing.
"Duan Lingtian, it seems like the rumors are true. You've broken through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage after the entrance assessment … You're indeed proud of yourself for defeating Ceng Zhi and Lin Fu one after another with your cultivation base at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage."
After a short moment, the smiling tiger arrived before Duan Ling Tian and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your compliment, Elder."
Duan Lingtian replied nonchalantly. He did not have a good impression of this outer court elder who did not know how to check his cultivation base.
"Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage?"
After Dong Chong heard Smiling Tiger's words, he could not help but feel shocked. He asked through True Energy Voice Transmission, "Elder Huang Cheng, did you check Duan Lingtian's cultivation base earlier?"
Huang Cheng nodded nonchalantly. At the same time, before Dong Chong and the other few Outer Court Elders could speak, he looked at Duan Lingtian and spoke first, "How many more bets can you accept? I'll pay for the rest myself!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes abruptly. An unnoticeable sneer crept up the corner of his mouth.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
Upon hearing Huang Cheng's words, Dong Chong and the other few Outer Court Elders' faces changed. The other few Outer Court Elders said anxiously, "Elder Huang, you can't take all the bets for yourself!"
"That's right! Everyone has a share. How can you take all the remaining bets for yourself? "
"Elder Huang, that's not very kind of you."
…
The few Outer Court Elders expressed their dissatisfaction one after another.
Dong Chong was the only one who did not want to fight with Huang Cheng. He merely wanted to remind Huang Cheng that when Duan Lingtian defeated Lin Fu a month ago, his cultivation base was only at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage.
That was the result of his Spiritual Secret Tactic that he personally checked a month ago.
Just when Dong Chong was about to speak, Huang Cheng snorted first. "You old farts, who can you blame if you're too slow? As the saying goes, first come, first served. Don't tell me you don't even know this rule? "
Huang Cheng's words were not polite at all. He did not care about the few Outer Court Elders whose faces darkened.
As soon as Huang Cheng's words left his mouth, even Dong Chong could not help but feel dissatisfied.
At that moment, he did not remind Huang Cheng anymore.
"Huang Cheng, it's not up to you to decide whether we can bet or not! You, Huang Cheng, didn't set up this bet. "
"That's right! This bet was set up by Duan Lingtian. How do you know he's willing to give the rest of his quota to you? "
"Huang Cheng, stop flattering yourself."
…
The few Outer Court Elders said disdainfully.
"Duan Lingtian, did you hear what I said earlier?"
Huang Cheng immediately looked at Duan Lingtian when he heard the few Outer Court Elders' words. He narrowed his eyes and asked in an unfriendly tone.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded nonchalantly.
"Duan Lingtian, you don't have to care about him! If he dares to make things difficult for you because of this matter, we old farts are not to be trifled with. "
"That's right! We'll back you up. "
"You don't have to be afraid of him."
…
The few Outer Court Elders looked at Duan Lingtian and encouraged Duan Lingtian.
"I'm sorry, Elders … As the saying goes, 'first come, first served.' Since Elder Huang has spoken first, I can only give the rest of my quota to him. Next time, if I set up a bet again, I'll definitely give priority to all of you. "
Duan Lingtian said apologetically in the face of the bombardment from the few Outer Court Elders.
"Did you hear that?"
When Huang Cheng heard Duan Lingtian's words, a smug expression appeared on his face. At the same time, he smiled and nodded at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, you're not bad, not bad at all … You're very sensible. If it weren't for the Death Duel between you and Feng Fan tomorrow, I would've taken you in as my disciple. "
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Elder Huang Cheng."
Duan Lingtian forced a smile on his face as he looked at Huang Cheng. As for the other Outer Court Elders, they were ignored by him.
However, he could not help but glance at Dong Chong from the corner of his eyes. "This Elder Dong Chong hasn't said a word since the beginning. It seems like he doesn't intend to place a bet? If he doesn't intend to place a bet, why is he here to join in the fun? "
Duan Lingtian's heart was filled with disdain.
If Dong Chong had spoken earlier, he would have definitely given Dong Chong a share of the bet.
A month ago, Dong Chong had probed his cultivation base without any scruples. It had made him very displeased.
After those few outer court elders were rejected by Duan Ling Tian, horror dawned on their faces. However, there was nothing they could do. They could not do anything at all.
A threat?
Duan Lingtian would most likely be killed tomorrow. Was there any use in threatening him?
As for Duan Lingtian's suggestion that they would be given priority in the next bet, they thought it was nonsense. In their opinion, it was almost impossible for Duan Lingtian to survive after tomorrow.
Dong Chong was the only one who looked at Duan Lingtian deeply. However, he did not say anything.
He knew very well that even if he reminded Huang Cheng at this time, Huang Cheng would misunderstand that he wanted to take a share of the loot.
"Duan Lingtian, how much are you short of the bet?"
Huang Cheng asked as he took out his Crystal Card and looked at Duan Lingtian.
"I'm short of 360,000."
Duan Lingtian replied.
When Huang Cheng heard this, he readily transferred 360,000 Merit Points from his Crystal Card. Naturally, it was only on the surface.
However, he could not help but feel the pinch in his heart.
He only had slightly more than four hundred thousand merit points in total.
Losing 360,000 Merit Points in one go was a huge blow to him.
However, when he thought about how he would be able to get an additional 10,000 Merit Points in addition to his 360,000 Merit Points tomorrow, he did not feel the pinch anymore.
"Three million Merit Points."
Duan Lingtian was excited in his heart. However, he did not deliberately show it on his face.
He still understood the principle of making a fortune in silence.
"Elders, now that the bet is over, I should return to cultivate so that I'll be ready for the Death Duel tomorrow. Goodbye!"
After putting away the Crystal Card, Duan Lingtian looked at the few Outer Court Elders in front of him and left after bidding farewell.
"This Duan Lingtian is really not bad."
Huang Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at Duan Lingtian's silhouette that was disappearing.
Naturally, the reason he thought Duan Lingtian was not bad was because Duan Lingtian had given him the remaining quota despite the pressure. In his opinion, Duan Lingtian was giving him 10,000 Merit Points for free.
As for the remaining few elders, apart from Dong Chong who seemed to be deep in thought, the rest of them had a grave expression on their faces.
They did not expect Duan Lingtian to be so unappreciative of their kindness and actually dare to ignore them.
"He even went back to cultivate … Let alone one day, even if he's given another year, he might not be a match for Feng Fan now!"
"He actually dared to accept Feng Fan's Death Duel invitation. This Duan Lingtian really doesn't know what's good for him."
"I'd like to see how he's going to be killed tomorrow."
…
The few outer court elders who resented Duan Ling Tian for not sharing the remaining quota with them sneered one after another.
"Haha … Everyone, I'll take my leave first. See you tomorrow."
Huang Cheng laughed complacently and strode away.
"It's time for me to leave too."
Dong Chong also said, and then left.
Since the other few Outer Court Elders' attention was not on Dong Chong, they did not notice Dong Chong's abnormal behavior. They only left after mocking Duan Lingtian a few more times.
Duan Ling Tian naturally did not care about the resentment of the few outer court elders.
He believed that after tomorrow, these Outer Sect Elders wouldn't even be able to thank him enough.
Feng Fan was an Earth Ranking powerhouse?
So what?
No matter how strong he was, he was only a Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator. Why would Duan Lingtian be afraid of him?
"Almost 3.1 million Merit Points … Tsk tsk, even in the Moon Illumination Sect, I'm afraid there aren't many people who can take out so many Merit Points at once, right?"
After returning to his room in the independent courtyard, Duan Lingtian did not enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate. Instead, he looked at the Crystal Card in his hand.
As he infused his True Energy into it, the Crystal Card showed the Merit Points limit.
