"Thank you, senior!"
Lu Ming took the map and scanned it with his spiritual senses. A map appeared in his mind. It was a map of the entire inner sect area. All the addresses, buildings, and cultivation grounds were clearly marked out.
"This golden badge is quite useful!"
Lu Ming pondered.
Although he had been cursed by the Dragon Boat Mountain with the Nether Dragon Blood Curse, at least there were still some benefits. At the very least, this golden token was still very useful to him.
Without the golden badge, he would not have been able to enter the inner disciple area, let alone the places of cultivation. It would be difficult for him to improve his cultivation in a short period of time.
Following the map, Lu Ming headed toward the Valley of Divine Skills.
The Valley of Divine Skills was the best place to cultivate Divine Skills in the inner disciple area. Of course, it would cost points, but it was slightly cheaper, one point for five days.
Lu Ming still had seventy points in his badge, enough for him to cultivate for three hundred and fifty days.
Lu Ming entered the Valley of Divine Skills and immersed himself in cultivating.
Time gradually passed. The one year promise between Lu Ming and Dongfang Hao gradually approached. In the blink of an eye, only three days were left.
During this period, the outer disciple area became lively. Many people were discussing Lu Ming's matter.
A year's time was not short for ordinary people, allowing them to forget many things. However, for Martial God Realm cultivators, a year's time was no different than a breath's time. They still remembered the life-or-death duel between Lu Ming and Dongfang Hao.
"Why hasn't Lu Ming shown up yet?"
"I saw him going out before. Did he really run away?"
"That's for sure. I've already said that if he agreed to the life-or-death duel with Dongfang Hao, he would definitely run away!"
"I heard that he came first in the selection, but it turns out that he's such a coward!"
"Knowing that he's going to die, it would be strange if he had the guts!"
The outer disciple area was filled with discussions about Lu Ming. They all assumed that Lu Ming had run away, not daring to accept the duel.
Meanwhile, Lu Ming had just come out from the inner disciple area.
Lu Ming had a smile on his face. During this period of cultivation, he had gained a lot. He had full confidence in his battle with Dongfang Hao.
Soon, he returned to the inner sect area.
"Lu Ming is back!"
The news immediately caused an uproar in the outer disciple district.
The people who had been certain that Lu Ming had slipped away were now dumbfounded and speechless.
"You dare to come back? You're courting death!"
"What a fool!"
When Lu Ming came back, he directly slapped these people in the face. These people flew into a rage out of humiliation, thinking that Lu Ming was stupid and came back to court death.
In short, the news of Lu Ming's return quickly spread throughout the outer sect.
In Huang Wu's courtyard.
"Good, good, it's good that he's back. Let's kill him!"
Huang Wu laughed loudly.
"Don't worry. This time, I'll make him die a horrible death!"
On the side, Dongfang Hao's face was ferocious, his killing intent cold.
"Come, come, come, place your bets. Bet on Dongfang Hao to win, two hundred to one. Bet on Lu Ming to win, one to fifty!"
Near the Life-and-Death Arena, a burly man actually started a bet on who would win between Lu Ming and Dongfang Hao.
"Two hundred to one. You're too greedy. This ratio is too low!"
"Yes, two hundred to only earn one!"
Many people despised him.
Bet on Lu Ming to win, each divine crystal earned them fifty. However, bet on Dongfang Hao to win, two hundred to only earn them one divine crystal.
"If you guys don't bet, then I will. Lu Ming will definitely lose. Although two hundred to one is a little low, it's a steady profit. I bet one hundred thousand divine crystals on Dongfang Hao to win!"
An outer disciple directly bet one hundred thousand divine crystals.
Many people's eyes lit up.
Yes, Dongfang Hao would definitely win. Although the profit was less, it was still a steady profit. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.
"I also bet on Dongfang Hao to win. I bet fifty thousand divine crystals!"
"I bet two hundred thousand divine crystals on Dongfang Hao to win!"
"Me too …"
"There's no suspense in this battle. Dongfang Hao will definitely win!"
A large group of outer sect disciples were betting on Dongfang Hao's victory.
The burly man's face was covered in cold sweat. He also thought that Dongfang Hao would definitely win.
Almost everyone bet on Dongfang Hao to win. Wouldn't he suffer a great loss?
He deliberately set the odds of Lu Ming to one to fifty. With such high odds, he thought that some people would take the risk and bet on Lu Ming to win. That way, he would be able to make a profit.
"Why don't you guys bet on Lu Ming to win? If you bet on Lu Ming to win, you'll have to pay fifty to one!"
The burly man shouted.
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I bet on Lu Ming to win, I'll definitely suffer a loss!"
"That's right. I won't give you money for free!"
"Hurry up and give me a receipt!"
A group of outer disciples shouted. The burly man was covered in cold sweat.
"It's really lively here!"
Lu Ming had just returned from the inner disciple area. When he passed by here and saw so many people betting, his interest was immediately piqued.
"Lu Ming is here!"
Someone shouted. Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at Lu Ming.
There were pity, sighs, and indifference. Anyway, looking at Lu Ming was like looking at a dead man. In their opinion, Lu Ming would definitely die three days later.
"That, how do you place this bet? What's the odds? "
Lu Ming's interest was piqued. He walked over and asked.
"Bet on Dongfang Hao to win, two hundred to one. Bet on Lu Ming to win, one to fifty!"
Someone replied.
"Nest, my odds are so high? Then there should be a lot of people who bet on me to win! "
Lu Ming looked at the burly man.
"No, no one bet on you to win!"
The burly man said with a bitter face.
"What?"
Lu Ming was depressed.
How much did they look down on him? Bet on Dongfang Hao to win, two hundred to one, and there were so many people who bet on him. But he bet one to fifty, and no one actually bet on him?
Could it be that they all thought he would lose?
"Everyone, everyone, because there are too many people who bet on Dongfang Hao to win, the odds will be changed to five hundred to one."
The burly man said loudly.
"What? Five hundred to one, why don't you go die! "
"Bet five hundred and you will only earn one. Bet fifty thousand and you will only earn one hundred. This is too little!"
"It's not good to cheat like this!"
Many people loudly reprimanded, but the middle-aged man's attitude was firm. He believed it was five hundred to one.
"This business is not bad!"
Lu Ming's eyes turned. His heart moved, and he thought of a way to make money.
"Everyone, everyone, listen to me …"
Lu Ming clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"He won't be the banker, so I will. Those who want to bet, come to me. Those who bet on Dongfang Hao to win, one hundred to one, those who bet on Lu Ming to win, one hundred to one!"
Lu Ming said loudly.
"What? Bet on Dongfang Hao to win, one hundred to one, I'll bet, I'll bet one hundred thousand divine crystals! "
Suddenly, there were people who placed their bets.
Many people's eyes became fiery.
At the burly man's place, the odds for Dongfang Hao to win was five hundred to one. At Lu Ming's place, it was one hundred to one, which was five times higher.
Naturally, everyone chose Lu Ming's place.
