A Good Romance

"Of course not." The young man in blue shook his head. "His cultivation level is so much higher than Ling Han's, and even if he won, he would lose face, so why bother?"
The tightly-dressed beauty said, "Young Master might not know, but Zhao Lun and Ling Han have a personal grudge."
"Oh …" The young man in blue looked surprised. How was that possible? What strength and status did Zhao Lun have? To put it bluntly, Ling Han had no chance to offend Zhao Lun even if he wanted to.
This young man in blue was called Sha Yuan, the third son of Great General Sha Jing of the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire, and also the youngest son. His talent in Martial Art was similarly astonishing, and he had already broken through to the consummate level of the Mountain River Tier a thousand years ago, and now had already reached the peak stage.
Logically speaking, he should have left the Academy, but the son of Great General Sha insisted on staying in the Academy, so how could you chase him away?
For the descendants of nobles, the Scarlet Heaven Academy was not just a place for cultivation. In truth, their own family's conditions were much better, and they came to the Academy to network and accumulate their own strength.
Those who could enter the Academy were all geniuses. For example, Zhao Lun had three followers, and all of them were two-star geniuses, and it was even said that they might be three-star geniuses. Who wouldn't want to recruit such geniuses?
The reason why the Academy was divided into four branches and viewed each other with animosity was partly because they didn't want the descendants of certain nobles to extend their hands too far. This was an artificial restriction, and at most, they could only cause trouble in one branch.
The tightly-dressed beauty naturally wouldn't wait for the other to ask, and hurriedly said, "That's because of Shui Yanyu. It's said that she and Ling Han are engaged in marriage."
Her name was Liu Ying, and she was chosen from among the orphans by Great General Sha. Her talent in Martial Art was extraordinary, and she was both Sha Yuan's childhood playmate, sparring partner, and death guard. There were a total of four death guards like her, and they were collectively known as the Four Leopards.
Sha Yuan was startled for a moment, and then suddenly laughed loudly, almost to the point of tears.
"Zhao Lun, Zhao Lun, aren't you very proud? How come you can't even protect your own woman?"
Although the Seven Great Generals stood side by side, the relationship between them was definitely not very good. Furthermore, he and Zhao Lun were both top-notch young masters of the Imperial Capital, and they had often fought against each other. Both of them wanted to vie for the title of the Imperial Capital's First Young Master.
Thus, when he learned that Zhao Lun had suffered such a great loss, Sha Yuan naturally laughed heartily.
"Liu Ying, you won't betray me, right?" Sha Yuan suddenly asked.
Liu Ying's heart trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "This subordinate will never betray Young Lord!"
Sha Yuan glanced at her and said, "Investigate this person for this young master. This young master is very interested in him."
"Yes." Liu Ying stood up and left.
"You won't, or you don't dare?" Sha Yuan revealed an unfathomable smile.
Tang Feng almost went mad from anger. Ling Han had ignored his challenge, causing him to look down on him as a coward. He had also spread the word that Ling Han was as cowardly as a mouse, yet Ling Han had ignored him and directly challenged Zhao Lun. Was he treating him as nothing?
He wanted nothing more than to tear Ling Han into a million pieces because this challenge from Ling Han had instantly suppressed his limelight.
Zhao Lun didn't respond to Ling Han's challenge. Instead, it was his follower, Bai Yuansi, who spoke up and expressed his disdain towards Ling Han's challenge. He said that Ling Han was only an ugly person making trouble, so how could he cooperate with Zhao Lun?
If Ling Han wanted to fight, that was fine. He would accompany him. However, the prerequisite was that it had to be a battle to the death.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes landed on Ling Han again. How was he going to respond?
One had to realize that although Bai Yuansi wasn't as dazzling as Zhao Lun, he was still an elite in the high extreme of the Mountain River Tier. Moreover, he was a prodigy who was above two stars and close to three stars. If he fought to the death with him, there was almost a 90% chance that Ling Han would be insta-killed.
Did he dare or not?
Ling Han immediately gave a direct response.
The entire Imperial Capital was in an uproar. Ling Han was currently the most popular newcomer, and Bai Yuansi's personal strength and status as Zhao Lun's follower both made him the center of attention.
The two of them were going to fight to the death, so it was destined to attract countless gazes.
Unsurprisingly, there were also bets about the outcome of the battle between the two of them.
"How about it? What are the odds?" Ling Han was clearly slightly excited.
Li Weiwei chuckled, and said, "If you win, the odds are 1: 100!"
Ling Han's lips twitched. Although he knew that the higher the odds, the more he would earn, he had never imagined that the odds would be so ridiculous as 1: 100. Just how bad was he?
"There are no odds for Bai Yuansi to win, only odds for you to be defeated within a few moves. One move, 10: 11. Two moves, 10: 12. Three moves, 10: 13. "Li Weiwei began to introduce the odds.
It was clear that the dealer was also very bad for Ling Han. Ling Han had been able to survive 100 moves, and the odds had actually reached an exaggerated level of 1: 10.
"Blockhead, what are we going to bet next?" Li Weiwei's eyes lit up. She had made a huge profit just now.
"How much did you earn?" Ling Han couldn't help but ask.
"Four thousand for you, and three thousand each for Sister Yun. That's a total of a hundred thousand!" Li Weiwei said excitedly.
The two of them together had earned more than him!
Ling Han sighed and said, "Of course we're going to bet everything on me winning."
"Hey hey hey, don't tell me you're jealous that Sister Yun and I earned more than you, so you want to trick us?" Li Weiwei looked suspiciously at Ling Han.
"Am I that kind of person?" Ling Han shook his head. "Don't worry. If you bet on me winning, the odds are 1: 100. I'll guarantee that you'll make a huge profit. Besides, didn't I also bet my four thousand?"
"That's true." Li Weiwei nodded, and then asked curiously, "Why are you so confident?"
"Of course it's my strength." Ling Han laughed.
Zhao Lun hadn't accepted the challenge, which was within Ling Han's expectations. In any case, he had only issued the challenge to win money. He hadn't expected Bai Yuansi to respond, allowing him to earn another sum.
"I'll believe you this time! However, if you cause Sister Yun and I to lose money, we won't forgive you!" Li Weiwei said fiercely.
"Don't worry, this will be my dowry to you. I won't be able to pay you back," Ling Han said with a smile.
Now, their capital of ten thousand had increased tenfold, reaching more than a hundred thousand. If they had to win with the odds of 100, that would be an astronomical figure of ten million!
It was even more profitable than alchemy.
Unfortunately, this was because the information they had was not equal. If they could understand him as well as Ling Han did, they would probably only offer tenfold odds at most.
Ling Han was filled with anticipation. After receiving the wager, he could participate in the large-scale auction. He wanted to see what good things would be sold in the auction of the Immortal Realm.
There were three days of buffer time before the day of the battle, but Shui Yanyu didn't appear, causing Ling Han to feel slightly disappointed.
In these three days, he refined the last Flame Mountain River Stone, completely stabilizing his cultivation level in the medium extreme. At the same time, the might of his divine patterns of flame had also improved. After all, he had a total of seven divine patterns, which far surpassed the divine patterns of gravity.
