Two days later, the sparring field at the side peak of True Dragon Peak of True Dipper Sect was bustling with noise and excitement despite the scorching sun hanging high in the sky.
Before noon, some disciples in different costumes walked into the sect's competition field one after another. Most of them were in gray clothes.
The silver-robed disciples were the next in line, followed by two or three disciples in cyan robes. Not long after, hundreds of people had gathered in the sect's sparring field. They gathered in groups of twos and threes, chatting about something.
If someone were to listen carefully, they would discover that everyone was discussing the same topic – that was the recent battle between the famous First Stage Star Transformation Star Genius Gold Clothed Elite Disciple Ling Dong and the former Gold Clothed Disciple, the current Silver Clothed Disciple Guan Minghua!
"First Level Transforming Star and Sixth Level Transforming Star, is there even a comparison? The result of the battle is obvious. If it weren't for Senior Brother Shang's iron manor and earning some Reiki, I wouldn't have come here to waste my time! "A disciple in silver said in a low voice.
"I'm also here for Senior Brother Shang's iron manor. However, since today's outcome is so obvious, I wonder if Senior Martial Brother Shang dares to set the odds at 1: 1.1? "
"Have you heard? This Senior Brother Ling Dong is a big idiot! The Sect Leader had already passed down an edict, saying that without his consent, no one was allowed to challenge him for the next five years.
But this person, who knew what was in his head, actually agreed to it in a daze! Guan Minghua managed to pick up a great bargain. Unfortunately, if I had not discovered it too late and fought with him first, I would have been able to experience the luxurious life of a golden-clothed disciple for half a year at the very least! "A silver-clothed disciple sighed helplessly.
Another person beside him also sighed, "Yes, a Level One Star Transformation Golden Clothed Disciple is definitely the weakest Golden Clothed Disciple in the history of True Gang Sect. Any Silver Clothed Disciple could defeat him. What a pity …"
"Gentlemen, don't underestimate this Ling Dong. Over the years, the cultivators who had ascended from the lower realms after crossing the Celestial Transformation Thunder Tribulation were always a bit stronger than the native cultivators of the Wooden Puppet World! Even in the Lower Realms, he was definitely a top-notch existence. He was definitely not stupid. Moreover, for him to be directly designated as a golden-clothed elite disciple by the Sect Leader, there must be something miraculous about him. "
"Tsk, if a Third Level Star Transformation Realm cultivator were to fight against a Sixth Level Star Transformation Realm cultivator, by relying on some powerful secret arts, there would be a chance of victory. But a First Level Star Transformation Realm cultivator against a Sixth Level Star Transformation Realm cultivator, the gap is too big. It's basically impossible …"
While these people were chatting, a silver-clothed old man with a simple face standing at the side frowned and said, "Senior Brothers, is this Ling Dong from the Tian Gang Continent?"
"From the Tian Gang Continent? There seemed to be such a saying. Oh right, Guan Xingzi, you're also from the Tian Gang Continent. Do you know anything about this Ling Dong? "Everyone asked.
"If it's really Ling Dong from the Tian Gang Continent, he might have a chance to win!" A trace of recollection flashed in Guan Xingzi's eyes. He seemed to be recalling the shock that Ling Dong brought to him when he was in the Tian Gang Continent.
As soon as they heard Guan Xingzi say this, those people were excited. They quickly surrounded Guan Xingzi and gossiped, "Guan Xingzi, tell us, what's so special about this Ling Dong? How do you judge that he has a chance to win? What's his identity in the Tian Gang Continent? "
"There's nothing special about him …" Old Ancestor Stargazer was not a talkative person. Although he knew a little about Ling Dong's secret, he did not want to publicize it. After thinking about it, Old Ancestor Stargazer said shyly, "In the Tian Gang Continent, that Ling Dong is actually my direct disciple!"
"Hahahahaha …"
As soon as Old Ancestor Stargazer said this, those silver-clothed disciples surrounding Old Ancestor Stargazer burst into laughter. Each of them pointed at Old Ancestor Stargazer as if they had heard something extremely funny.
"I say, Guan Xingzi, as his master, you're only a silver-clothed elite disciple. Moreover, you're a silver-clothed elite disciple ranked in the bottom hundred. And your direct disciple wants to defeat a Sixth Level Star Transformation Realm gold-clothed disciple? Hahahaha … I'm dying of laughter, I'm dying of laughter … "
Looking at everyone's laughter, Old Ancestor Stargazer's expression was slightly unsightly. However, he was not angry. Just as he was secretly thinking about something, many silver-clothed and grey-clothed disciples suddenly stood up and turned towards a direction in the sky. They said respectfully in unison, "We greet Senior Apprentice Brother Shang!"
At this time, even Guan Minghua, who was sitting cross-legged in the sect's sparring field with his eyes closed and waiting for Ling Dong's arrival, also stood up and greeted respectfully in the sky.
They saw a blue rainbow passing through the sky. The scarlet clothes at the cuffs were particularly eye-catching.
"Haha, I've made all the junior apprentice brothers wait for a long time!" That blue rainbow landed in the blink of an eye. The moment it landed on the ground, a man with a square face and a wide mouth was smiling and greeting his fellow apprentice brothers. As for those silver-clothed and grey-clothed disciples who were waiting here, they were all beaming with joy. They were proud that this Senior Apprentice Brother Shang nodded to them.
Because of the arrival of this Senior Apprentice Brother Shang, the sect's sparring field was noisy for a while. However, when Senior Apprentice Brother Shang took out a table, paper, brush, and other writing treasures, the True Dipper Sect's disciples all quieted down.
"Silver-clothed Junior Apprentice Brother Guan Minghua challenged the newly promoted gold-clothed Junior Apprentice Brother Ling Dong to a battle for position. This Shang is actually here to join in the fun and give you fellow apprentice brothers some entertainment. Everyone is clear about the rules. You can bet as much as you want. There's no limit! Reiki will pay up on the spot. There's no default! "Senior Apprentice Brother Shang said in a clear voice.
"What's the odds? Senior Apprentice Brother Shang, what's the odds?" A courageous disciple asked loudly.
"There's a huge disparity in strength between the two junior apprentice brothers today. The odds of Guan Minghua winning is 1: 1. The odds of Ling Dong winning is 1: 5! At the same time, according to the old rules, for every 1,000 low-grade Reiki bet between the two sides, the odds will increase and decrease by 10%! Now, if you want to have some fun, you can come to me and place your bets! "
Senior Apprentice Brother Shang waved his sleeves and sat there. A powerful aura was spontaneously emitted from his body. The disciples who wanted to bet were all unusually quiet and lined up in order to place their bets.
Among the many disciples who had placed their bets, almost all of them were certain in their hearts. They had already decided who they wanted to bet on, and it was definitely Guan Minghua.
Although Guan Minghua's odds would be lower and everyone's income would be limited, a mosquito's meat was still meat. It would be a waste if they didn't make a profit. Today, Senior Apprentice Brother Shang's iron manor was simply here to give them money.
However, there were also a few people whose eyes were wandering anxiously. It seemed that they hadn't decided who to bet on. Among them, the most eye-catching ones were Ancestor Stargazer and the disciple who led Ling Dong back that day, Yang Cheng.
Hearing the disciples beside Senior Apprentice Brother Shang loudly betting on Guan Minghua's victory, coupled with the ridicule of many fellow apprentices around him, Ancestor Stargazer's heart was filled with a bitter taste.
"He's my former disciple. If I don't support him, who will? Even if I lose everything today, I have to fight for this honor! " No matter how good Ancestor Stargazer's self-restraint was, at this time, under the multiple provocations, he was sullen and wanted to fight for this honor.
When the time was right, he strode to Senior Apprentice Brother Shang's gambling table and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Shang, I bet on Ling Dong's victory. 50 medium-grade Reiki!"
This was almost all of Ancestor Stargazer's assets. When Ancestor Stargazer came from Tiangang Continent, he brought a little with him. Coupled with the seven or eight years of accumulation, he had this little bit of wealth. Today, he put all of it on the line.
Of course, Ancestor Stargazer was not an impulsive person. From Ling Dong's past deeds and his understanding of this matter, he found that Ling Dong did not refuse Guan Minghua's challenge with the Sect Master's Edict. Ancestor Stargazer instinctively felt that there was some mystery in this.
If Ling Dong won, Ling Dong's odds would rise to 10 to 1. Ancestor Stargazer would make a fortune.
It was this thought and the impulse to fight for this honor that made Ancestor Stargazer suppress this big bet.
"Guan Xingzi, I bet on Ling Dong's victory. 50 medium-grade Reiki!"
As soon as this voice came out, the silver-clothed disciples below sneered, "Idiot!"
"That Guan Xingzi has lived for hundreds of years in vain. Even if he wants to squander, he shouldn't squander like this …"
In such a voice, Ancestor Stargazer flashed to the side with an ugly face. He looked at the sky, looking forward to the arrival of Ling Dong.
When Ancestor Stargazer made a decision, Yang Cheng was also struggling bitterly. He was considering whether to bet on Ling Dong or not.
After all, he saw with his own eyes how Ling Dong absorbed 70% of the Astral Spiritual Mist. His current wealth of more than 200 medium-grade Reiki was all earned by Ling Dong.
But today's strength was too uncertain. Even though Yang Cheng felt that his intuition had always been accurate, the facts with his eyes were unquestionable.
"Bet or not?" Yang Cheng kept asking himself.
"Opportunities will always be left to a few people! When I bet on Ling Dong in the Astral Spiritual Pool, who would believe that I would bet on the right person? " Murmuring silently, Yang Cheng strode forward and bet 200 medium-grade Reiki, leaving dozens of medium-grade Reiki. This was to leave himself a way out. Even if he lost everything, he would not become a pauper!
Yang Cheng's big bet naturally attracted the ridicule of a group of silver-clothed disciples. If it weren't for Yang Cheng's identity, perhaps some grey-clothed disciples would have also called Yang Cheng an idiot.
Guan Minghua, who was sitting in the middle of the sect's competition field, looked at the gambling table. He wanted to make a small fortune, but he could not go, which made him very depressed.
In the Universe Ring next to him, there were 500 medium-grade Reiki. Guan Minghua had been begging his grandparents for the past two days. He had borrowed a lot of Reiki from his friends, owed a lot of favours, sold a lot of medicinal pills and materials, and even borrowed 100 medium-grade Reiki with a high interest rate. For every day he used it, he had to pay the interest of 1 medium-grade Reiki, which made Guan Minghua's heart ache.
But for the sake of that golden-clothed elite disciple, he had to go all out!
As Yang Cheng calculated, with the status of a golden-clothed elite disciple for five years, he would definitely enjoy more than 1,000 medium-grade Reiki. If he added the privileges of the golden-clothed elite disciple, it would be more than 2,000 to 3,000 medium-grade Reiki.
"Why isn't he here yet?" Seeing that the time was almost up and Ling Dong was still not here, Guan Minghua started to get anxious.
But when Guan Minghua turned around and looked at Senior Shang, who was setting up the gambling house, he laughed sinisterly. "Hey, I've spread the word about this to the entire sect. If you, Ling Dong, dare to not show up today or go back on your words, not only will you not be able to raise your head in True Gang Sect, but you will also not be able to pass Senior Shang's test!"
"He's here!"
Guan Minghua was laughing sinisterly when he suddenly heard a shout. When he looked up to the sky, he could not help but be overjoyed!
