"Chu Mu has always been holed up in his Sword Tower. We are unable to assess his true strength." Someone from the Demon Slayer Battle Team said.
"It's fine. Chu Mu's talent is indeed extraordinary, and his strength is extraordinary. He indeed has the strength to contend against an ordinary Divine Condensation Realm swordsman. However, with the increase in Golden Flame Lei's cultivation and other preparations, it's enough to kill him."
"That's right. It's fine if such a genius doesn't work for us, but he still wants to be our enemy. We can't let him grow."
"After Chu Mu's death, what about the other members of the Zhen Tian Battle Team?"
"They are all geniuses, but they are not as good as Chu Mu. Moreover, two of them have extraordinary backgrounds. If we can recruit them, we will. If we can't recruit them, we don't need to care. They can't use the power behind them to deal with us. If they do, the Sky Edge Sword Palace will not sit idly by."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing the fall of a genius with my own eyes."
…
The betting continued for many days before it gradually quieted down. Because those who wanted to bet had already placed their bets, there was no way to change them.
Most of the people bet on Golden Flame Lei's victory. Only a few people bet on Chu Mu's victory. These few people were scattered. Among them, Sikong Zhan and Qin Shanhe bet because they had confidence in Chu Mu, while the others bet because they wanted to try their luck.
In any case, they would only lose a few thousand low grade Origin Crystals. They would be able to earn it back in a short period of time. If they were lucky and won, they would have ten times the profit.
No matter how heated the discussions outside were, Chu Mu did not care. He wholeheartedly stayed in his Sword Tower to cultivate. With the Baleful Yin Crystal, he allowed the baleful Yin energy to freely refine his sword intent and gold profound, gradually approaching the early stage.
After a short period of time, he would be able to reach the early stage of the eighth revolution. At that time, his power would increase.
Finally, half a month had passed, and the day of the final battle had arrived.
Because this matter caused a huge commotion and alarmed the higher-ups of the Sky Edge Sword Palace, the location of the final battle was changed from the Crimson Wasteland to a small battlefield within the Sword Palace.
In this way, all the elite disciples of the Sword Palace would be able to watch, and it would also ensure that no outsiders would come out to cause trouble during the final battle.
It had to be known that within the interior of the Crimson Wasteland, there were many powerful experts from other races. Once they heard the news, they would definitely organize and attack the human swordsmen. At that time, a huge chaotic battle would erupt, causing countless casualties. This was something the Sky Edge Sword Palace did not wish to see.
The change of venue had been announced a few days ago. They didn't ask for the consent of Chu Mu and Jin Yanlei. However, Chu Mu and Jin Yanlei didn't object. If they fought in Sword Palace, they wouldn't be disturbed by the outsiders.
Moreover, in the decisive battle in Sword Palace, under the eyes of tens of thousands of people, he would be able to kill Chu Mu under his sword. Thinking of this, Jin Yanlei felt extremely excited.
Small Battlefields were usually only opened for battles between battle teams. The opening this time was an exception.
Almost all the members of the battle teams had returned. They did not want to miss this decisive battle. Perhaps, it would be very interesting to watch.
The small battlefield was very lively. There were many swordsmen sitting in the spectator stands. They came from different battle teams, and they seemed to be in groups.
The tables were filled with wine, various kinds of meat, fruits, vegetables, and so on. It looked very rich.
The three great battle teams occupied the best seats, and they were also the largest because they had the most members. Next were the eleven first rate battle teams, then the second rate battle teams, and then the third rate battle teams. As for the unrated battle teams, they often didn't have a table, and could only gather in scattered groups.
The final battle had not yet begun, but a large number of people had already gathered in the small battlefield. The elite disciples were all present, and there were also many instructors.
Instructor Ji Tianxiang was also among them, because this was Chu Mu's final battle. As Chu Mu's former instructor, he had always been paying attention to this rapidly growing genius.
When he knew that Chu Mu was going to fight with Jin Yanlei, he was very shocked. He even wanted to persuade Chu Mu to take back his words. However, the head instructor stopped him. Only then did Ji Tianxiang feel somewhat relieved. Since even the head instructor, who valued Chu Mu, did not stop him, he must have some confidence in Chu Mu. Or perhaps, the head instructor wanted to see Chu Mu's limit. In the end, he would be able to save Chu Mu's life.
In Ji Tianxiang's heart, it should be the latter.
True geniuses also needed to experience setbacks, hardships, and failures to walk out of them. They needed to learn from their experiences and improve themselves. They needed to make themselves truly strong from the depths of their hearts. Only then could they become strong.
Chu Mu's growth was very fast. His talent was shocking, and his fighting strength was also very shocking. It was also time for Chu Mu to experience some great setbacks in order for his spirit to grow.
"This Chu Mu is really overestimating himself. He actually wants to fight to the death with a Divine Condensation Realm swordsman. Isn't this just throwing his life away?" One of the instructors suddenly sneered.
The other instructors had limited understanding of Chu Mu, so they all nodded their heads.
Ji Tianxiang frowned, but did not refute.
"Instructor Ji Tianxiang, I heard that this Chu Mu was your disciple when he was still an official disciple?" The instructor's tone was a bit strange, and the smile on his face was also a bit strange as he looked at Ji Tianxiang. He spoke neither slowly nor quickly.
"You have a problem with that?" Ji Tianxiang replied coldly. This person had never been on good terms with him, and the two of them had quite a bit of conflict.
"No problem." This person hurriedly waved his hand and said with an expression that said, "I just feel that the disciple also represents the instructor's face. Although he is now an elite disciple and has left his status as an official disciple, at least he was once one. The disciple does not know the immensity of heaven and earth. This should also be the instructor's fault for not teaching him properly and letting him understand that he should be down-to-earth. Don't you think so, Instructor Ji Tianxiang? "
Anyone could hear the sarcasm in his words. The other instructors did not respond, because if they did, they would become enemies with him. They all responded with silence.
"I understand the meaning of your words. You feel that Chu Mu is overestimating himself by challenging the Golden Flame Lightning, and is seeking his own death, right?" Ji Tianxiang was very angry in his heart, but a cold smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't say that. Instructor Ji Tianxiang, you can't wrong me like that." The other person's innocent expression suddenly changed, and he laughed sinisterly. "I was thinking, why don't we play a game? I wonder if Instructor Ji Tianxiang has the guts to do so?"
"What game?" Ji Tianxiang smiled coldly.
"It's a very simple game. I heard that even the elite disciples bet on who will win in the end. Why don't we also bet on who will win in the end?" The other party's face was full of smiles, but his tone became sharp, "I'll use the emperor grade mid-level armor I recently obtained as the wager, and bet that the Golden Thunder Flame will win. I wonder if Instructor Ji Tianxiang dares to accept the wager?"
"Of course. The Golden Flame Lightning's extremely precious. If you lose, Instructor Ji Tianxiang will have to pay a corresponding price. The loss will be huge. I can understand if you don't dare to accept. Just pretend I didn't say anything." Before Ji Tianxiang could reply, the other person spoke again. His tone was strange, and contained all kinds of sarcasm. There was also a provocation and so on.
Even if he lost, he could not lose. Ji Tianxiang did not lose his reason. He thought for a moment and made a decision.
The Buddha fights for incense, and people live for a breath!
As a swordsman, no matter if his sharpness was exposed or restrained, he could not endure such mockery and ridicule. Especially when the other person was his sworn enemy. Ji Tianxiang knew that the other person's character was inferior. Once he rejected the other person's bet, there would be all kinds of rumors about how he was afraid of him and so on.
Even if he lost, he could not give the other person the chance to be despicable.
"Alright, I'm lacking a treasure robe. I'll bet on Chu Mu winning." Ji Tianxiang smiled coldly and said, "However, I'm not as rich as you. Four million mid-grade Origin Crystals, if you want, come."
"Four million mid-grade Origin Crystals, compared to the Golden Flame Lightning's mid-grade Origin Crystals, there is indeed a gap. However, it's a game. Don't worry so much. The other person pretended to hesitate at first, then said straightforwardly. Then, he said to the other instructors, "Everyone, please be the witnesses."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was impossible to go back on the bet. Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined.
"This guy is going to earn four million mid-grade Origin Crystals." The other instructors were very envious.
"Four million mid-grade Origin Crystals, Ji Tianxiang will probably feel the pinch for a long time. This should be the majority of his savings."
"If he wins, he will get a mid-grade Golden Flame Lightning's mid-grade Origin Crystals. That's worth at least five million mid-grade Origin Crystals."
"Then do you think he will win?"
Many instructors secretly transmitted their voices to discuss this matter.
After all, Ji Tianxiang was here. If they openly discussed this matter, they would definitely offend Ji Tianxiang. They did not have any conflict with Ji Tianxiang, so they would not offend him because of this matter.
After the bet was raised, the other party did not continue to provoke Ji Tianxiang. There was a smug smile on his face. In his opinion, four million mid-grade Origin Crystals was definitely a win for him. That was good too. He had almost gone bankrupt because he tried every means to buy a mid-grade Golden Flame Lightning's mid-grade Origin Crystals. Four million mid-grade Origin Crystals was enough to enrich his savings again.
Thinking about it, he felt very excited.
"Chu Mu, you have to win. My entire fortune is on you." Ji Tianxiang's expression was not very good, but he secretly said in his heart.
At this time, he could only place his hopes on Chu Mu.
Jin Yanlei sat in the crowd of the Demon Slayer Battle Team. He sat at the same table as the head captain, vice head captain, and two other elders. They were chatting and laughing, as if they did not care about this battle.
Zhen Tian's Battle Team's Qin Shanhe, Tu Gang, and Tantai Liuguang were all present. They sat in a corner of the spectator seats, occupying a table. There were three gourds of Ten Thousand Beasts' Blood and some barbecued meat jerky on it. They looked very relaxed and did not seem to be in a hurry.
At this time, Chu Mu arrived and walked into the small battlefield. Immediately, many gazes pierced through the void and shot onto Chu Mu's body …
