Seeing the unfriendly gazes from the two, Feng Hao shrank back on purpose and exclaimed, "Could it be that after beating up the young, the old comes?"
In such a situation, Fenghao's words immediately attracted some gazes from the surroundings. All of them looked at the Xu father and son in astonishment.
Among them, there was no lack of people who knew Xu Li and his son. Seeing that they were being put in a difficult position by an unprepossessing man, everyone's lips curled into a mocking smile as they looked at the three with interest.
The corners of the father and son's mouths twitched violently when they saw the strange gazes around them, especially Xu Han. He glared at Feng Hao as if his eyes were about to spit fire.
After beating up the young, the old comes. Wasn't he implying that he was the one who beat him up, that he was useless, and that he had to ask for the old's help?
"Damned bastard!"
He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to break. Wouldn't everyone know that he'd lost to Xu Han like that?
What Fenghao said at the end made him almost go crazy.
"It's fine, I'm not afraid. I'll take on the old too. How about a hundred thousand martial crystals a round?"
Feng Hao acted as if he didn't see the ugly expressions on the two's faces. He shook his head and spoke to himself, once again provoking them.
The grudge had already been sown, so there was no need to hold back. He could only teach them a lesson so that they would understand and fear him after losing.
As soon as his words left his mouth, gasps sounded from all around. The crowd quickly connected the hundred thousand martial crystals to the news that had spread two days ago.
An Earth Level Physiognomy Master was gambling with a sloppy gambler. A hundred thousand martial crystals a round. In the end, the gambler's luck was off the charts, and a spirit crystal was found in the scorched stone …
From the looks of it, it seemed that this was the person before them.
After scanning his surroundings, the corner of Xu Li's mouth twitched without leaving a trace. He stared at Fenghao with dark eyes and asked in a deep voice. "Since this grandmaster wants to bet, then I, Xu Li, will accompany you to the end!"
At this moment, he had no choice but to agree. If he refused, then his Xu Clan would absolutely not be able to hold their heads up high in Nephrite Evil Ancient City.
"How do you want to bet?"
"Hehe."
Feng Hao let out a mischievous chuckle and said, "Then how about a round based on the results of this competition?"
"Sure!"
After pondering for a moment, Xu Li agreed.
Feng Hao was only in the Earth Grade area, which meant that he only had the Peak Earth Grade Eye Technique at most. Regarding this, he still had a certain degree of confidence in winning, because, in last year's competition, he was in the top five of the Earth Grade.
The only thing that worried him was Feng Hao's inexplicable luck …
The fact that Scorched Stone contained a spirit crystal was a direct blow to its reputation as the ultimate trash. Although more than a day had passed, the rush to buy Scorched Stones in Nephrite Ancient City had yet to subside. Many gamblers had even lost their entire fortune.
Tens of thousands of Scorched Stones had been bought, but forget spirit crystals, even martial crystals were nowhere to be seen. Scorched Stones still lived up to their reputation as the ultimate trash.
The bet was thus set!
Soon, everyone in the four arenas stood there with a piece of raw ore in their hands.
"Everyone, it's time to cut the stones!"
Liu Ruxian spoke again. Her voice was as clear as ever, but there was a hint of exhaustion in it. The streaks of red in her eyes had yet to completely recede.
Swoosh, swoosh! …
As soon as she finished speaking, a series of crisp sounds of stone cutting resounded in the arena. Dust rose into the air as the raw ore in everyone's hands shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not long after, pieces of Spiritual Iron that flickered with various colors were opened and floated in front of everyone, emitting a sparkling light. The entire scene was filled with various colors, and it was a scenery of its own.
"Sigh …"
Amidst the sighs, those who didn't advance left the arena with gloomy expressions.
No one thought they could escape the sharp gazes of the old antiques on the high platform.
The second round had just passed, but almost everyone had been eliminated. The Yellow Group, out of a few hundred, now had less than twenty people left. The Black Group, out of a thousand, now only had around thirty people left. On the other hand, the Earth Group, out of two hundred people, now had around fifty people left!
Needless to say, the Heaven Group, all nine of them had passed!
Such an elimination rate made the onlookers sigh endlessly. Those lofty Earth Level Stone Masters had been eliminated so easily.
Those who were eliminated could only mean one thing: their strength was not solid enough.
In the meantime, Xu Han had also been eliminated. Although he had also advanced to Earth Level, be it in terms of realm or experience, he could only be considered average.
...
"Congratulations on passing!"
Sweeping her gaze across the arena, Liu Ruxian's gaze lingered only for a moment on the unkempt figure. She opened her mouth slightly, and her clear voice echoed throughout the arena.
"Now, it's time for the last segment of the competition. Everyone, please follow me."
With that, she pushed off the ground with the tip of her foot and floated up like a fairy descending from the ninth heaven. She drifted toward the stone gambling den in the Nephrite Sacred Land. Like a dream, her white figure dazed many who stared at her for a long time.
The stone gambling den's entrance was also packed with people, no less than those in the plaza. Aside from the designated areas, the rest of the gambling den was packed to the brim.
It could also be said that it was only because there was no more space here that they would move to the plaza. That was because everyone knew that the finals would be the most exciting segment of the entire Grand Competition. Every year, the finals of the Grand Competition would erupt with many surprises and shocking events!
The onlookers were familiar with the Xiangshi Masters who had managed to reach this stage.
After all, the grand competition was held once a year.
But this time, they saw a face that made many people feel unfamiliar.
"Who is he?Is he from another region? "
They were all pointing their fingers at Fenghao. Such an ordinary guy was actually able to enter the finals of the Grand Tournament. This made them feel that it was inconceivable.
"Eh?Why does he look so familiar? "
"Hiss!It's him! Does he have an eye ability too? "
"Xu Han's loss was justified!"
Many who'd seen Feng Hao and Xu Han gamble stones before exclaimed.
"Tsk tsk, he won't lose. I wonder if it's true …"
Many recalled Feng Hao's words and looked at him with interest. If he didn't lose, wouldn't he be the champion of the grand competition?
As soon as these words were spoken, Fenghao received the attention of the crowd. Even the Heaven-grade Xiangshi Masters looked at him with astonished gazes.
Wasn't he a little too arrogant?
