Duan Lingtian opened his mouth once again, causing everyone on the scene, other than Cha Bai and his disciple, to be petrified.
What the hell was this Duan Lingtian trying to do?!
The other eight Five Element Sect's young disciples, other than Huang Daniu who seemed to be deep in thought and Nangong Chen who still had a cold expression on his face, all of them, including Nangong Yi, felt their scalps go numb.
It was apparent that they were all shocked by Duan Lingtian's words.
Even Nangong Yi, the direct disciple of the Sect Leader of Five Element Sect, did not have the courage to provoke Cha Bai, the Peak Master of Fire Peak.
"Duan Lingtian, you're seeking death!"
After being provoked by Duan Lingtian again and again, Cha Bai who was enraged instantly had a layer of frost on his face. His eyes were filled with a chilling coldness as though he was about to devour someone.
"Peak Master Cha Bai, don't tell me that you've become angry out of embarrassment?"
In the face of the enraged Cha Bai, Duan Lingtian's face remained calm as he said nonchalantly, "Or perhaps, you think that you're not bragging and that I'm slandering you?"
"Aren't you?"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Cha Bai could not help but ask with a sneer.
"Peak Master Cha Bai, if you think that you're not bragging and that I'm slandering you … Then, why don't we make a bet?"
A gleam flashed across Duan Lingtian's eyes unnoticeably. However, his tone remained calm and indifferent without any emotion.
"A bet?"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, everyone, including Cha Bai and Hu Fei, was stunned.
"Why should I make a bet with you?"
Soon, Cha Bai glanced at Duan Lingtian in disdain and said sarcastically, "Do you think that you're worthy?"
"Haha … Looks like you don't dare to do it, Peak Master Cha Bai."
Duan Lingtian laughed out loud. After he stopped laughing, he sneered without any restraint.
"Do you think that your little provocation will work on me?"
Cha Bai was the Peak Master of Fire Peak in Five Element Sect. He had lived for half of his life. What kind of situation had he not seen before? With just one sentence, he exposed Duan Lingtian's thoughts. His tone was full of disdain.
"Then what if I bet with you that … Hu Fei hasn't even comprehended the Eighth Level Intermediate Fire Concept?"
After being exposed, Duan Lingtian did not get angry. Instead, he asked in a pleasant manner.
"Eighth level Intermediate Concept of Fire?"
Cha Bai was stunned at first. Then, he could not help but burst out laughing, "Are you kidding me? This personal disciple of mine, Hu Fei, was only a step away from comprehending the Eighth Level Intermediate Fire Concept … "
"Now that he's out of the Profound Assimilation Formation, you're saying he hasn't comprehended the Eighth Level Intermediate Fire Concept?"
As he spoke, Cha Bai looked at Duan Lingtian with a mocking smile on his face. It was as if he was looking at a big joke.
"I'll bet with you … If Hu Fei's Fire Concept has not improved at all and is still at the Seventh Level Intermediate Fire Concept, then you'll have to give me a Seventh Level Thunder Concept Fragment. If Hu Fei's Fire Concept has improved to the Eighth Level Intermediate Fire Concept or above, then I'll switch my allegiance to you and Fire Peak. On top of that, I'll use the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation to swear that I'll never betray you! What do you think? "
Duan Lingtian did not answer Cha Bai's question. Instead, he continued to speak nonchalantly.
Duan Lingtian's words entered Hu Fei's ears clearly. It made Hu Fei's face change instantly as though he had suddenly thought of something.
'Don't tell me that my Fire Concept has not improved at all, just like what I've sensed earlier? '
Hu Fei's heart skipped a beat as an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
'But, even if that's the case … How did this Duan Lingtian know about it? '
Hu Fei could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
In his opinion, the Profound Assimilation Formation was left behind by a Martial Monarch powerhouse. How marvelous was it?
Almost everyone who entered the Profound Assimilation Formation would be able to obtain great benefits.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to be an exception.
Even if he was the exception, how could Duan Lingtian know about it?
Duan Lingtian's words did not only enter Hu Fei's ears, but it also entered Cha Bai's ears, Qi Feng's ears, and everyone else's ears as well.
Duan Lingtian wanted to make a bet with Cha Bai.
He was betting that Hu Fei's Fire Concept had not improved at all after he came out of the Profound Assimilation Formation. It was still at the Seventh Level Intermediate Fire Concept.
Once Hu Fei made a breakthrough, it would be his loss!
If he won, he would obtain a Seventh Level Thunder Concept Fragment from Cha Bai.
If he lost, he would lose everything to Cha Bai and Fire Peak. On top of that, he would use the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation to swear that he would never betray them!
At once, the entire place burst into an uproar.
Other than Qi Yu and Huang Daniu who were deep in their thoughts, everyone, including Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, could not help but be dumbfounded.
In their opinion, Duan Lingtian would definitely lose this bet with Cha Bai!
"Perhaps, this Duan Lingtian doesn't want to stay in Wood Peak anymore and wholeheartedly wants to go to Fire Peak … The bet that he mentioned is just an excuse."
"It must be that Peak Master Cha Bai has made some kind of promise to this Duan Lingtian to poach him to Fire Peak. He must've been tempted by it as well … However, he's too embarrassed to betray Wood Peak directly. He's afraid that he'll become the second Hu Fei and be spurned by everyone! That's why he chose to go to Fire Peak in such a way. "
…
The few Five Element Sect's disciples, including Tan Huan and Tian Zhen, could not help but think to themselves.
Other than that, they could not figure out why Duan Lingtian would take the initiative to make this bet with Cha Bai. After all, it was obvious that Duan Lingtian would definitely lose this bet.
Hu Fei had already comprehended the Seventh Level Intermediate Fire Concept.
Let alone the fact that he was only one step away from comprehending the Eighth Level Intermediate Fire Concept before he entered the Profound Assimilation Formation.
Even if he had just comprehended the Seventh Level Intermediate Fire Concept before he entered the Profound Assimilation Formation, he would definitely be able to comprehend the Eighth Level Intermediate Fire Concept after he came out of the Profound Assimilation Formation.
However, right now, Duan Lingtian actually said that after Hu Fei came out of the Profound Assimilation Formation, his comprehension of the Concept was still at the same level and remained at the Seventh Level Intermediate Fire Concept.
This was something that was almost impossible to happen!
Only Qi Yu and Huang Daniu were looking at Duan Lingtian from afar, deep in their own thoughts.
"What's Duan Lingtian trying to do? Look at Hu Fei's face … Don't tell me … "
Qi Yu was very observant. Very soon, he noticed that something was not right with Hu Fei's face. His heart immediately jolted.
The scene before his eyes made him even more certain that Duan Lingtian had deliberately lured Cha Bai into this trap. His purpose was to get the Seventh Level Thunder Concept Fragment from Cha Bai.
"This little fella could have just told me if he needed the Thunder Concept Fragment. It seems like he doesn't want to owe me a favor. "
As Qi Yu muttered to himself, he could not help but sigh.
"Like I said, Duan Lingtian, this fella's smile just now was a little strange … As expected, there's something fishy going on!"
Huang Daniu stared at Duan Lingtian as a smug smile crept up the corner of his mouth. It was an expression that said, 'Brother Niu, I've already seen through you.'
"Y-You're telling the truth?!"
Cha Bai was stunned by Duan Lingtian's words. After a while, he finally regained his senses and stared at Duan Lingtian with gleaming eyes as he asked loudly.
He had to admit that he was very dissatisfied with Duan Lingtian before this.
However, that was because Duan Lingtian had humiliated his direct disciple, Hu Fei.
If Duan Lingtian was a disciple of Fire Peak, even if Duan Lingtian had really humiliated his direct disciple, Hu Fei, he would not resent Duan Lingtian at all.
He would only be glad that his Fire Peak had a genius disciple who was even more outstanding than his direct disciple!
However, Duan Lingtian had said that as long as his direct disciple, Hu Fei, had comprehended at least the Eighth Level of the Intermediate Fire Concept, he would switch over and join Fire Peak.
On top of that, he was willing to swear on the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that he would never betray Fire Peak!
For a moment, he was completely overwhelmed by joy.
He did not even have the time to think about why Duan Lingtian would propose such a ridiculous bet. He did not even hesitate to bet his entire life on a Seventh Level Thunder Concept Fragment.
At this moment, he only knew that he would definitely win. Duan Lingtian would also switch over to Fire Peak.
Perhaps, it was because Duan Lingtian had considered this that he decided to use himself as the wager.
"That's right! I wonder if Peak Master Cha Bai would dare to make this bet with me? "
In the face of Cha Bai's loud question, Duan Lingtian nodded his head before asking back with a doubtful look on his face.
"Since you have the intention to switch over to Fire Peak, why would I reject you? Duan Lingtian, you can rest assured. As long as you switch over to Fire Peak, Hu Fei and I will bury the hatchet between us and forget about the past. Not only that, I guarantee that Fire Peak will definitely not treat you unfairly! "
Cha Bai, who was so excited that he could not even find his bearings, said with a smile.
It was obvious that Cha Bai had agreed to Duan Lingtian's bet.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian smiled as well. His smile was very bright.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Cha Bai's face turned tense as he suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Huh?"
Duan Lingtian frowned. Could it be that Cha Bai had finally realized what was going on?
Or perhaps, Hu Fei had already realized what was going on and told him everything, causing him to have the thought of going back on his word?
Very soon, Duan Lingtian realized that he had thought too much.
"Sect Leader, about the bet between Duan Lingtian and I … Please be our witness!"
In his excitement, Cha Bai did not forget to ask Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, to be his witness.
Naturally, the reason he did this was not because he was afraid that Duan Lingtian would go back on his word. Instead, he was afraid that Qi Yu would intervene after the matter was over.
He knew Qi Yu's strength very well. He was far from being a match for him.
If Qi Yu really wanted to capture Duan Lingtian who had switched over to Fire Peak and bring him back to Wood Peak, he really would not be able to stop Qi Yu. In the end, all his efforts would be in vain.
Guo Chong frowned as he looked at Qi Yu immediately. It was as though he was asking for his opinion.
Qi Yu nodded his head.
"Hu Fei!"
When Guo Chong saw Qi Yu nodding his head, he responded to Cha Bai. Then, he looked at Hu Fei who was standing in the distance in a daze and called out to him.
However, Hu Fei did not respond at all. He stood there motionlessly as though he was possessed by a demon.
"Hu Fei!"
Cha Bai became anxious when he saw that Hu Fei was still in a daze.
Slap!
Cha Bai walked up to Hu Fei in a few steps and slapped the back of his head to wake him up.
"M-Master!"
When Hu Fei regained his consciousness, the first thing he saw was Cha Bai standing in front of him. He could not help but cry out in panic.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and show me your Fire Concept! "
