Fenghao shook his head and looked at Yuan Hong with a conflicted expression. "I say, none of you fellows are straightforward. Since you want to bet, you have to be able to afford to lose. You're even stuttering when it comes to carrying out the bet. It's as if I'm forcing you. Back then, you were the ones who requested for the bet and set the bet. Why are you making it seem like I'm the one in the wrong now?"
"That's right!Don't bet if you can't afford to lose. "
"That's right. Is this how the dignified Xiangshi Clan conducts themselves?"
"Hehe …"
In an instant, all sorts of mocking voices rang out, causing the faces of the people from the Xiangshi Clan to turn ashen. Pairs of furious eyes swept across the crowd, and only then did those voices slowly die down.
Offending the Xiangshi Clan was no laughing matter. It was fine for them to join in the fun and beat a drowning dog, but no one dared to do it in the open.
"Hmph!I'll bet with you this time! "
Yuan Hong suppressed his restless mind and looked at Feng Hao with a gloomy gaze. He said in a deep voice, "I'd like to see what level your Art of Xiangshi has reached. How dare you be so arrogant!"
"Art of Xiangshi?"
A faint smile appeared on Fenghao's face as he pursed his lips. "Don't you know that I don't know the Art of Geomancy?When did I say that I know the Art of Xiangshi? "
"Hmph!You don't dare to bet? "
Yuan Hong snorted and pretended to be disdainful as he looked at Feng Hao with disdain.
"If it's the Art of Xiangshi … I really don't dare to bet."
Feng Hao said with a grin, as if he didn't care at all.
"You!"
Yuan Hong and the rest had never expected that Fenghao would actually say such a thing. From their point of view, those who possessed the Art of Physiognomy were all prideful people. When faced with a challenge, even if they knew that they would lose, they would still brace themselves and accept it.
However, Feng Hao was different.
Hearing his answer, everyone looked at him in astonishment. Even Yu Xiao was surprised.
"Hehe!"
Feng Hao's face was still full of smiles. "I've always said that I'm a lucky person. Please don't misunderstand. So, you can bet on luck, but don't bet on the Art of Geomancy."
Such an explanation caused the gamblers to reveal a smile of understanding.
If such a strange thing was really just luck, then this luck was too terrifying.
However, it was indeed true. Feng Hao had always said that he was just lucky, and he'd never said that he possessed the technique of seeing through stones.
"Humph!Is your luck good? "
Yuan Hong snorted and narrowed his eyes, as if he was trying to figure out something from Feng Hao's face.
However, he was destined to be disappointed.
Picking out four Martial Crystals out of seven raw materials was almost his limit. If he added in his experience and luck, it was possible to pick out five Martial Crystals.
However, this young man was able to see through the raw materials Yuan Po had chosen, and find the same number himself. This was too terrifying!
Therefore, Yuan Hong would not dare to bet on such a thing. He felt that this young man either possessed a law-defying Eye Technique, or he only had the ability to sense the unique ripples of Martial Crystals.
Yuan Hong's judgment was closer to the latter.
"That's right, it's just luck."
Feng Hao shrugged. "Therefore, I'll bet on luck with you. However, if you want to bet on the Art of Geomancy, I'm afraid I won't keep you company."
The Art of Geomancy was able to determine the grade of the raw materials. This was Feng Hao's current weakness. He could not afford to bet on it, as he would surely lose the bet.
"Shh …"
His attitude caused the people of the Geomancy Stone Clan to boo and express their disdain, thinking that he was bringing shame to the Geomancy Stone Clan.
Yuan Hong felt helpless when he saw Feng Hao refusing to bet on the Art of Geomancy Stone. His eyes flickered.
He was unwilling to not bet, but he was afraid that Feng Hao had a unique ability. He was instantly caught in a dilemma.
"It seems like … he's never been able to find any spiritual iron … Could it be that … his ability can only sense Martial Crystals?"
Yuan Hong's eyes lit up again after he filtered through the information about Feng Hao.
Seeing his eyes light up, the corners of Fenghao's mouth also raised into a smile without a trace.
He knew that the fish had taken the bait!
"Alright!Let's bet on our luck! "
Yuan Hong said loudly. After a pause, he continued, "However, we'll have to change the rules of the bet."
"Oh, how?"
Feng Hao curled his lips and asked.
"We'll each choose a raw material worth one million gold coins. The one who finds the most spiritual iron will win, excluding Martial Crystals!"
Yuan Hong's eyes flickered. He felt even more proud when he saw Feng Hao's startled expression.
"This …"
Feng Hao seemed to be hesitating. His eyes flickered as if someone had poked his Achilles heel, causing him to feel uneasy.
"What?Aren't you just lucky? "
Seeing Feng Hao's hesitation, Yuan Hong was even more pleased. His old face revealed a hint of mockery and savagery.
"Indeed, my luck has always been good!"
"Then why don't you dare to bet?"
"Did I say I won't bet?Let's bet then, do you think I'm afraid of you? "
Fenghao seemed to have been provoked. He angrily agreed and shouted, "What's the bet?Don't tell me you're going to kowtow again?That's boring. I'm in charge of the bet this time! "
"Hmph!Up to you! "
Yuan Hong didn't care about the bet. What he cared about was winning against this kid and the reputation of his clan.
"Hehe!"
Feng Hao curled his lips and turned to Yu Xiao. "Elder Yu, can you lend me a kilo of supreme grade spiritual iron as the bet?"
Everyone was shocked at these words.
Supreme grade spiritual iron was worth tens of millions per kilo. If it was a special type of spiritual iron, it could be worth hundreds of millions of gold coins. Supreme grade spiritual iron had always been priceless.
A bet of tens of millions of dollars caused the gamblers to be extremely shocked. Everyone's breathing became hurried as pairs of shocked eyes looked at the delicate and pretty figure.
The moment the supreme grade spiritual iron was mentioned, even the members of the Xiangshi Clan were shocked.
Even the Yu Yue Clan, one of the top ten forces, would only be able to produce one piece every year. Sometimes, it would be difficult to produce even one piece every few years.
After all, to everyone's knowledge, supreme grade spiritual iron was the pinnacle of existence!
Yuan Hong immediately furrowed his brows.
The Yuan Clan naturally had a few pieces of supreme grade spiritual iron, about seven to eight kilos. However, that was thousands of years of savings. It was too extravagant to use it as a bet!
