Gu Ling Wuji had seen the usefulness of the Angelic Holy Badge. He even felt that the Angelic Holy Badge was more important than the Holy Badge of Ten Thousand Yuan.
He was naturally opposed to Nie Tian using such a precious thing to gamble with Huo Dongtai.
"I've thought it through, Senior Guling," Nie Tian said calmly, as if he didn't care at all.
It was as if the Angelic Holy Badge was completely useless to him.
Or perhaps, he had absolute confidence that he could become the top student of the five academies.
"Hmm?" Huo Dongtai looked at Nie Tian, and his heart sank. He quietly sensed Nie Tian's aura, as if he wanted to discover something, but he sensed nothing.
He couldn't tell if Nie Tian's confidence was fake, or if it was genuine.
He really could not understand why a Heavenly Mandate Saint Master could be so confident.
"City Lord, do you dare to gamble with me?" Nie Tian's eyes narrowed as he asked in a low voice.
The reason why he wanted to make such a huge bet with Huo Dongtai was actually after careful consideration.
First of all, Nie Yurou and Ni Jianming had been captured, and Huo Dongtai would bear the most direct responsibility. Although he was not the real mastermind, he was the biggest accomplice. Therefore, Nie Tian had to make him pay. Otherwise, Ni Jianming's bloodshed and Nie Yurou's danger would have been in vain.
Secondly, once this huge gamble was made, Nie Tian had undoubtedly forced himself into a dead end. He had no choice but to go all out and get first place at all costs. Only by getting first place could he make his offer to the five academies.
As for the third reason, it was even more important in the long run.
Huo Dongtai was a member of the Angel Clan. With his strength and identity, even if he was not a core member of the Angel Clan, he must have a certain amount of weight. Once Nie Tian had proven his strength, he would then be able to talk to the higher-ups of the Angel Clan through Huo Dongtai.
Only by meeting the higher-ups of the Angel Clan could he possibly get close to the Blood-Winged Angels.
And the Blood-Winged Angels were Xue 'er's life-saving item.
Therefore, Nie Tian had put almost everything on the line for this gamble. If he failed, he would truly be at the end of his rope.
Although he appeared to be extremely confident, he actually did not have that much confidence in his heart.
He had already experienced the cruelty of the five academies' recruitment.
When he had encountered that super genius of the Angel race with his Holy Light martial intent, it had already amazed him. Just this person alone was enough to make him feel a great pressure.
But now, it was likely that he would encounter someone even stronger than the Holy Light martial intent.
One could well imagine the difficulty of obtaining first place.
But now that things had come to this, Nie Tian could no longer turn back. He could only give it his all and fight for his own future!
"Do you really want to bet?" Huo Dongtai's eyes darkened as he looked at Nie Tian. His voice trembled slightly.
"What?" Nie Tian looked at Huo Dongtai and couldn't help but laugh. He provoked, "Is the City Lord afraid?"
Huo Dongtai's face immediately darkened. His eyes were suffused with a gloomy glow. After being silent for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said, "I, the City Lord, will take the gamble!"
"Alright." Nie Tian smiled faintly. He immediately took out the Angelic Sacred Badge and handed it over. "City Lord, in order to express my sincerity, I will first give the Angelic Sacred Badge to you for safekeeping. Please help me look after it."
"Eh?" Huo Dongtai looked at the Angelic Sacred Badge in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.
Nie Tian's action was really unexpected.
He didn't even know if this was because Nie Tian trusted him or because he had absolute confidence in himself.
Moreover, Nie Tian's tone at this moment was completely the attitude of a superior, as if Huo Dongtai was a slave.
Huo Dongtai thought for a moment, then took the Angelic Sacred Badge. He smiled and said, "Nie Tian, aren't you afraid that I will confiscate your Angelic Sacred Badge?"
"City Lord, are you insulting yourself?" Nie Tian smiled faintly. "City Lord is an important person in the All Sacred World. Why would you cheat a junior like me? And City Lord, don't forget that I know the Sacred Feather Phoenix Supreme and Her Highness the Holy Maiden. "
"Heh heh." Huo Dongtai gave a cold laugh. "Don't worry. This City Lord is a man of his word. Since I've made the bet with you, I won't go back on it!"
Although he said this, he was very shocked inside. Nie Tian's words just now were basically a show of mercy and threat. First, he raised him up high, and then he mentioned the Sacred Feather Phoenix Supreme and Her Highness the Holy Maiden. If this wasn't a threat, what was?
But Huo Dongtai was also an expert, and wouldn't go back on his word!
Although he was sure that he wouldn't lose, if he really did lose, he, Huo Dongtai, wouldn't be a villain!
"Very well." Nie Tian smiled faintly. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said directly, "Since that's the case, we'll take our leave first."
"I won't send you off," Huo Dongtai replied coldly, his face icy.
Nie Tian and Gu Ling Wuji didn't linger, and left directly.
Huo Dongtai looked at the two figures slowly disappearing, but there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
Vaguely, he felt as though he had fallen into someone else's trap.
Nie Tian and Gu Ling Wuji left the City Lord Residence, and quickly returned to Wan Yuan Pavilion.
Nie Tian went to see Ni Jianming, and told him about Nie Yurou, without hiding anything.
Although Ni Jianming was as anxious as him, he had no choice now, and could only wait quietly.
The Heaven Dao Sacred Pavilion had painstakingly captured Nie Yurou, it shouldn't be just to kill her.
At present, Nie Yurou's life shouldn't be in danger.
After that, Nie Tian went to see Tang Shisan again, and told the latter about Ruoyu Qianye.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and the recruitment of the five major academies finally began.
Nie Tian and the rest came to Vast Cloud Plaza. At this moment, the entire sky above the plaza was a black mass, filled with human heads.
Although the enchantment of Vast Cloud Sacred City had eliminated half of the participants, there were still millions of people present.
"So many people participated in the competition, how many of them passed?" Jun Jianxing looked at the crowd and couldn't help but sigh.
"Just try your best," Chi Chenfeng said with a bitter smile, evidently a little guilty.
"Look over there!" At this moment, an exclamation was heard, and countless eyes looked up into the sky. An alluring figure floated over like a deity.
"Hmm?" Nie Tian's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but look over. The figure that entered his eyes made his face stiffen.
High up in the sky, a figure in red stood there, like a beautiful red lotus, blazing and eye-catching.
Her facial features were exquisite, as though they were sculpted by the most perfect craftsman. Her eyes were extremely lively, as though they were reflecting the sunset. Her figure was graceful, and she had an ethereal beauty.
