With so many dojos, it was inevitable that there would be some conflicts between them. Small conflicts were usually resolved through negotiation, while large conflicts would inevitably involve fighting. However, the Flower City had its own rules that prohibited fighting and deaths within the city. The guards of the Flower City were not to be trifled with.
However, when some conflicts reached a certain level, they had to be resolved with life and death. The Life and Death Arena was born, but there were not many cases of life and death in the city. Therefore, there were not many Life and Death Arenas set up in each district. They were under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's office. If one wanted to use the Life and Death Arena, they had to apply and pay a small fee.
The Life and Death Arena in the eastern district was set up in the first district of the eastern district. At this moment, there were people rushing over from the thousands of meters around the Life and Death Arena. They were basically here to join in the fun. There were warriors and commoners.
With martial arts prevailing and dojos in great numbers, even commoners had some understanding of warriors. It was very common.
"Make way, make way, make way. Our Dojo Master Zhou Yong is here. Quickly make way." Loud shouts were like thunder as a large group of people rushed over from afar. They squeezed through the crowd and occupied a good spot.
A portion of the dojo masters from the ten districts in the eastern part of the city had brought their disciples over to join in the fun. Of course, some people with higher statuses were not interested in such a farce. Naturally, they would not join in such a commotion that would lower their statuses.
"Place your bets, place your bets. Bet on a casual kill, 100 to 1. Bet on a sword draw, 50 to 1. Bet on one move, 10 to 1. Bet on two moves, 5 to 1. Bet on three moves, 1 to 1. Bet on four moves, 1 to 10. You can bet with Yuan Coins and Yuan Stones." A loud and clear shout spread all around. Everyone turned their heads to look. Surprisingly, someone was betting on the battle between the Chu Royal Court and the Heaven's Luo Dojo Master, Xiahou Yuan.
The so-called bet on a sword draw meant that Chu Mu had the ability to make Xiahou Yuan draw his sword. This was because Xiahou Yuan also practiced the sword. Bet on one move meant that Chu Mu could survive one move under Xiahou Yuan's sword, and so on.
"The Bear Wolf Gang is betting again."
"Who cares? Since they are betting, we can just place our bets."
"I want to bet, I want to bet on a casual kill, 10 low-grade Yuan Stones."
"I'll bet too. I'll casually beat him to death, 100 yuan."
There were people constantly placing bets. After paying their bets, they would receive a receipt. If they won the bet, they could use the receipt to ask the banker for their winnings.
"Bet on a casual kill, ten mid-grade primeval stones. Bet on a sword, ten mid-grade primeval stones."
"Bet ten mid-grade primordial stones for each type." There were also some rich people who directly bet on each type.
As more and more people arrived and learned that someone was the banker, they began to place their bets. Those with money placed more bets, while those without money placed less bets.
"Why are there only these? Could it be that there aren't any bets for the Chu royal court to defeat the other party?" someone asked stupidly. As soon as the words left his mouth, it was immediately met with waves of mockery.
"Idiot!"
"Idiot!"
"One look and you can tell he's brainless. Chu Wangting is only at the twelfth level of Qi Refinement. Even if he broke through in the past few days, he would at most be at the first level of the Origin Realm. Hall Master Xiahou Yuan is at the ninth level of the Origin Realm. With such a difference in strength, Hall Master Xiahou Yuan can kill him more than ten times with a single breath."
The person who was mocked had a red face as he scurried out of the crowd.
At this moment, two people slowly walked over from afar. When they saw the crowd gathered, they were instantly attracted.
"Ah Yuan, go and see what's happening over there." A handsome young master in a brocade robe with a white jade belt with gold and jade carvings on it gently waved the white jade fan in his hand as he instructed the person beside him.
"Yes, young master." The young man in black replied with a crisp voice. He strode into the crowd and soon returned to the young master's side. He cupped his hands and saluted, "Reporting to the young master, it's a sword hall master in the eastern part of the city who is having a life and death duel with another martial hall master."
"Oh." The young master nodded his head in acknowledgment, looking uninterested.
"I wonder if the Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master is crazy. He is only at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage and he wants to have a life and death battle with a ninth level of the Origin Realm expert." Ah Yuan seemed to be very interested.
"Then let's watch." The young master seemed to be a little interested.
After all, a life and death duel between a twelfth level of Qi Refinement and a ninth level of Origin Realm was something completely unimaginable. Even though he had seen many people, he had never heard of such a thing. If the person was not an idiot, then the person was a madman, or something else.
All in all, his interest was piqued and he planned to stay and watch.
"Young master, there are bets over there. Should we bet as well?" Ah Yuan said.
"Then let's bet." The young master closed his fan and walked with Ah Yuan to the betting area.
"Bet ten upper grade primordial stones for each bet. Also, do you have any bets for Chu Royal Court defeating Xiahou Yuan?" The young master asked. The moment he said this, he was about to be mocked by the crowd. But the people who were about to mock him saw his attire and immediately knew that this young master's identity was definitely not ordinary. It was best not to offend him, so they swallowed their words.
"If you want to bet on this, we can do it." The banker glanced at the young master and knew that he had some background. After pondering for a while, he said, "Bet on Chu Royal Court winning. One to a thousand."
One to a thousand!
This was undoubtedly a shocking ratio.
Of course, other than this young master, no one else was willing to bet on this. Because the truth was very obvious, it was completely impossible. There was no chance of luck at all.
"One to a thousand. Bet ten upper grade primordial stones." The young master said.
Just like that, the young master spent seventy upper grade primordial stones. In the eyes of the crowd, he was definitely rich and overbearing.
"The people from Tianluo Martial Arts School branch are here."
"That must be School Master Xiahou. Indeed, one look and I can tell that he is a great expert."
"He walks like a dragon and has an astonishing aura. I am sure that he can smash Chu Royal Court into pieces with a casual strike."
Amidst the discussions, Xiahou Yuan brought a portion of the Tianluo Martial Arts School branch members to the Life and Death Ring. Han Yu, who had met Chu Mu before, was also among them.
"Ninth level of the Origin Realm. Solid foundation. Not weak." The young master glanced at Xiahou Yuan as if he could see through him.
"School Master, there is a banker from the Xionglang Gang over there." Han Yu glanced over and didn't see Chu Mu. Instead, he saw the banker and immediately said.
"What kind of content?" Xiahou Yuan asked. Someone immediately explained.
"Well, then bet one hundred upper grade primordial stones. Buy the first one." Xiahou Yuan said.
Other than Xiahou Yuan who bought the first one, the rest of the people also bought the first one out of their own pocket. The least was a few upper grade primordial stones and the most was a dozen. They all believed that the School Master would casually kill the opponent.
Not long after, Chu Mu brought Chu Wangdao over.
Immediately, Chu Mu found the banker of the Xionglang Gang and quickly walked over. Chu Wangdao quickly followed.
After a glance, Chu Mu's gaze fell on the final bet. One to a thousand.
"Five lower grade primordial stones. Bet on Chu Royal Court winning." Chu Mu didn't hesitate. When he left the Sword Hall, he took the last five hundred yuan of the Sword Hall's savings and exchanged it for five lower grade primordial stones.
"Here comes another idiot." Someone couldn't help but mutter. Then, he remembered something and quickly glanced at the young master not far away and shrank into the crowd.
Chu Mu's bet on Chu Royal Court winning was also noticed by the young master. He suddenly looked at Chu Mu a few more times. With a glance, he could tell that Chu Mu's cultivation was at the twelfth level of the Mortal Realm. It was very weak, but he didn't know why he felt that Chu Mu had an inexplicable aura. This made him stare at Chu Mu without even realizing it.
Chu Mu naturally also noticed it. With a glance, he could tell that the young master's cultivation was at the Nirvana Realm, and he should be less than twenty years old.
A Nirvana Realm expert who was not even twenty years old. His cultivation talent was extremely high and his background was extraordinary. However, so what? The Origin Realm was many times larger than the Deep Blue World. Just the number of humans alone was many times greater. Moreover, the Origin Realm was one of the earliest worlds to appear. It was one of the only three main worlds in the Chaotic Universe and had been developing for countless years.
Countless experts had created countless powerful forces, leaving behind countless powerful bloodlines and inheritances. Even in the Deep Blue World, there were some geniuses who reached the Nirvana Realm before the age of twenty, not to mention the Origin Realm.
Retracting his gaze, Chu Mu glanced around and saw Han Yu. His gaze locked onto Xiahou Yuan. Intuition told him that this person was his opponent today.
"Hall Master, Chu Royal Court is here." Han Yu had been searching in the crowd and finally saw Chu Mu. He immediately said to Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan nodded and walked towards the supervisor of the Life and Death Arena.
The supervisor of the Life and Death Arena was someone from the City Lord Residence. He leaped and landed on the Life and Death Arena. The surroundings immediately quieted down.
"I have the honor of presiding over a Life and Death Arena. Without further ado, let us invite both parties to the Life and Death Arena … Hall Master Xiahou Yuan of the eighth division of the Heaven's Net Martial Arts School to come to the stage." Although the supervisor looked very old, he was full of energy. His voice was loud and clear, reaching everyone's ears. "Let us invite Hall Master Chu Royal of the eighth division of the city to come to the stage."
Xiahou Yuan's figure flashed as he unsheathed his sword and landed on the Life and Death Arena. Immediately after, Chu Mu also leaped and landed on the Life and Death Arena, facing Xiahou Yuan.
"It's him!" The young master and many others revealed an extremely shocked expression.
"So he is Chu Royal Court. He is indeed at the twelfth level of Qi Refinement. He must be crazy to bet on himself to win."
"Since the two of you have agreed to the Life and Death Arena, please sign this Life and Death Agreement." The supervisor laughed as he spoke. He took out the life and death contract. There were a total of three copies, and he had Xiahou Yuan and Chu Mu each sign it. Chu Mu naturally used Chu Wangting's name. After signing it, the supervisor kept one copy, and the other two were kept by the two of them.
