When the elder on duty mentioned the 500 Middle Spiritual Crystals that Guan Minghua had coughed up blood to gather, Guan Minghua's confused eyes immediately turned red.
Only one-fifth of the 500 mid-grade Reiki came from Guan Minghua's savings over the years. The rest was borrowed from disciples he had a good relationship with. He even borrowed the high-interest Reiki.
If he had won the title of a gold-clad elite disciple, even if he had lost the 500 mid-grade Reiki, it would have taken him two to three years to get it back.
But now, he had lost the title of a gold-clad elite disciple. With his status as a silver-clad elite disciple, his income was ten times less than that of a gold-clad elite disciple! The interest of the high-interest Reiki was more than enough for him to bear.
He had a huge debt on his back, lost the sparring match, had his Cosmic Artifact destroyed, and was scolded by his fellow disciples. He had lost face, lost money, and lost face. Under these multiple provocations, Guan Minghua's eyes turned red.
His Earth Qi immediately surged. Almost at the same time, Guan Minghua's body flashed with golden Earth Qi. The moment the golden Earth Qi surged out, Guan Minghua and his golden Earth Qi turned into a golden sword and rushed toward Ling Dong's back.
Those who were familiar with Guan Minghua knew that this was a mystic skill derived from the Goldtower True Kang that Guan Minghua cultivated. Its power was incredible, and it was another one of Guan Minghua's trump cards.
At this moment, Guan Minghua was enraged. He used this move because he wanted to kill Ling Dong, who had humiliated him and made him suffer a huge debt!
"Watch out!"
Elder Liu on duty was the first to notice the situation. But it was too late when he warned.
It was Elder Liu's duty to maintain order in the sparring arena. So, after he warned, Elder Liu's body flashed with green Earth Qi. He was about to save Lin Huang, but just as the green Earth Qi flashed, he stopped.
That was because he suddenly realized something. No matter what, Guan Minghua, who had suddenly launched a sneak attack, would not be able to harm Ling Dong.
"Impulsiveness is the devil. Guan Minghua was so impulsive that he didn't even choose the right time to launch a sneak attack …" Elder Liu, who was on duty, sighed.
At the same time, alarms and shouts of caution could be heard incessantly, rising and falling one after another among the group of True Gang Sect disciples. Many disciples had just lost their wealth because of Ling Dong, but these people did not lack the courage of a martial artist!
Actually, there was no need for Elder Liu and the other disciples to remind him. The moment Guan Minghua's body surged with golden energy, the hair on Ling Dong's back stood on end. Ling Dong had already sensed the abnormality behind him. If Ling Dong could not even sense this, he would have died countless times already!
Sensing Guan Minghua's sneak attack, Ling Dong's spirit moved. His right hand was about to flick lightly, preparing to give this shameless Guan Minghua a Acquired Spirit Fire Drill.
But the moment he flicked his finger, Ling Dong changed his mind. Although the latter's sneak attack was shameless, it was too much for him to directly turn his opponent into ashes.
With a thought, the brilliance of his Astral Soul turned, and the Star Subduing Plate spun slightly. A pale red blade light flashed from Ling Dong's mind. The moment it appeared, it slashed at Guan Minghua, who had turned into a golden sword and was about to slash at Ling Dong's back.
Red Divine Soul, this was also what Ling Dong was relying on in this competition! According to Ling Dong's knowledge, the Celestial Official You Qianjun who descended on the Tian Gang Continent was at the late stage of the Quasi Star Realm, but his Divine Soul was only at the late stage of the Scarlet Soul Realm!
Before anyone could react, Guan Minghua's golden sword, which was activated by the Goldsteel True Gang, suddenly trembled. The Goldsteel True Gang dissipated, and Guan Minghua fell to the ground. Just as he was about to make a move, a thunderous roar resounded in the sky!
"Guan Minghua!"
These three thunderous words were like thunder, directly exploding into Guan Minghua's Astral Soul. The explosion caused the blood in Guan Minghua's eyes to recede, and his vision to become clear again.
This roar came from Senior Brother Ji, who was at the gambling table.
"Embarrassing!"
Senior Brother Ji disdainfully glanced at Guan Minghua, then looked angrily at Shang Luoxu and said, "This time, you've gotten a great bargain!"
The moment his words landed, senior brother Ji's body rose into the air. He coldly glanced at Ling Dong. His eyes were filled with an awe-inspiring glint. After which, he turned into a ray of golden light and disappeared.
"Haha, thank you, thank you!" Senior Brother Shang chuckled as he repeatedly thanked Senior Brother Ji, who had left in a huff. His expression was as if he had won the battle!
Then, Senior Brother Shang looked at Ling Dong, his eyes filled with a strange light. Others might not have seen it clearly, but he, Shang Luoxu, saw it clearly.
Guan Minghua, who had launched a sneak attack, was first blasted to the ground by Ling Dong using some secret technique, and was then woken up by Senior Brother Ji's roar.
In the eyes of many grey clothed and silver clothed disciples, Guan Minghua was blasted to the ground by Senior Brother Ji. Shang Luoxu was very curious. Where did Ling Dong get such great ability from?
"Greed is like a knife above one's head!" Turning around, Ling Dong looked at Guan Minghua, who had already woken up and was curled up into a ball. His face was buried deep in the ground, and he was too ashamed to see anyone. Ling Dong sighed softly and walked towards the gambling table.
This Guan Minghua, all because of his greed, was schemed against by Ling Dong and ended up in such a state!
At the same time, on a mountain peak in the distance, a figure who had been watching the battle from afar was shocked. "This Ling Dong, is actually so mysterious?"
"Senior Brother Ling!"
"Senior Brother Ling …"
At this time, Ling Dong was facing a different situation. As Ling Dong turned and walked towards the gambling table, the grey-clothed and silver-clothed disciples, although they had lost to Reiki, took the initiative to greet Ling Dong. Their expressions were unusually respectful, and they no longer looked down on him.
After this battle, Ling Dong's identity as a golden-clothed elite disciple was well deserved. For a short time, no silver-clothed elite disciple dared to challenge Ling Dong again. After all, in terms of cultivation, Guan Minghua, who had just been demoted from a golden-clothed disciple, was basically the strongest among the silver-clothed disciples.
Moreover, Guan Minghua's experience shocked everyone. A Precious Weapon of Heaven and Earth was destroyed in one move. This loss was too great. It was so great that many silver-clothed disciples, who wanted to challenge Ling Dong, had to consider if he could bear this loss!
Many golden-clothed disciples present also greeted Ling Dong in a friendly manner. In just one battle, Ling Dong had gained the recognition of many disciples of the True Dipper Sect.
Of course, there were also a few golden-clothed disciples who were nervous about Ling Dong. There was a reason for this. The strength Ling Dong had displayed today was too shocking. He had directly killed a former golden-clothed disciple with a Sixth Stage Star Transformation cultivation. This strength made them feel great pressure.
One had to know that even among the thirty-six golden-clothed disciples, there was a ranking.
"Senior Brother Ling, I've benefited from your good luck again. When you're free, I'll invite you to Pristine Ancient City!" When they approached the gambling table, Yang Cheng, who had just obtained four thousand Middle Spirit Crystals from Shang Luoxu, was unable to contain his joy as he called out to Ling Dong.
4,000 Reiki! This was a windfall that he might not be able to accumulate even if he accumulated it for a hundred years.
"Hehe, sure!" Ling Dong nodded and looked at Shang Luoxu, who was looking at him in surprise. He handed over the betting slip and said, "Senior Brother Shang, I'll have to trouble you to exchange it!"
"Sure! Today, I've benefited from Junior Brother Ling. I thought I'd lose some money in this round, but I didn't expect to make such a big profit! "
As he spoke, Shang Luoxu took out a pile of Reiki of different colors and said, "Junior Brother Ling was in a hurry just now, so I can't take advantage of this high-grade Reiki!"
"Under normal circumstances, a high-grade Reiki is worth 10,000 low-grade Reiki, but in reality, you can exchange it for even more low-grade Reiki. Junior Brother Ling, I'm not going to argue with you about this. I'll just pay you twenty Upper Spiritual Crystals and the rest will be paid according to the amount! "
"There's a total of 20 Upper Spiritual Crystals. After calculating the rest, there's a total of 620 Middle Spiritual Crystals. Here they are. Junior Brother Ling, please keep them well!"
As Shang Luoxu finished speaking, the disciples in gold, silver, and gray were all envious. Including the premium of the high-grade Reiki, Ling Dong had nearly 3,000 medium-grade Reiki! Even in True Dipper Sect, he was considered rich!
Even so, the biggest winner this time was still Yang Cheng. That guy was really ruthless! He bet 200 medium-grade Reiki and got back 4,000 medium-grade Reiki!
Of course, Patriarch Stargazer was also grinning from ear to ear. 1,000 medium-grade Reiki was definitely enough to make him rich overnight!
"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Shang!" Senior Brother Shang's straightforwardness left a good impression on Ling Dong.
"You don't have to thank me. If Junior Brother Ling really wants to thank me, we can hang out more in the future and discuss martial arts together. Junior Brother Ling's ability is extremely brilliant!" Shang Luoxu said.
Ling Dong was not afraid of such polite words. "Ling is new here, so I need to cultivate in seclusion to improve my cultivation. When this is over, I'll naturally have to hang out more with you!"
"It's a deal!"
To Ling Dong's surprise, Senior Brother Shang actually took Ling Dong's polite words seriously.
After cupping one hand in the other before his chest, Ling Dong went straight to Patriarch Stargazer and said, "Master, we haven't seen each other for seven years. I have a lot of things to say to you. Please come with me!"
Patriarch Stargazer naturally agreed. When he was about to leave with Ling Dong, Elder Liu, who was on duty, picked up Guan Minghua, who was still bowing on the ground, and said, "Let's go. You attacked a fellow disciple from behind. Come with me to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive your punishment!"
"Dong-er, today you and I meet again. I'm very satisfied that you can kowtow to me in public! However, you and I both come to the True Gang Sect, so our fate as master and disciple has come to an end. In the future, when you and I meet in the sect, we will call each other senior and junior brothers. This is also the rule of the True Gang Sect! "
After returning to Ling Dong's quiet house in the True Gang Sect, Patriarch Stargazer brought up this matter first!
"How can this be? A teacher for a day, a father for life. No matter where, you will always be my master!" Ling Dong said.
Patriarch Stargazer nodded in relief when he heard this. "I'm very pleased that you can say this. However, you must do as I say. If you really have that filial piety, you can give me more pointers in the future. Otherwise, if your golden-clothed disciple calls me master in the sect, won't I be ashamed to death? "
"This …" What Patriarch Stargazer said was the truth. Ling Dong could only agree.
"Master, how have you been in the True Gang Sect for the past few years? Have you adapted well?" After settling this matter, Ling Dong and Patriarch Stargazer started to chat.
Patriarch Stargazer was about to answer when a red and green light suddenly flew from the sky and landed directly in Ling Dong's courtyard. This made Ling Dong extremely surprised!
Seeing this, Patriarch Stargazer suddenly pushed Ling Dong and said, "Dong-er, quickly take it. This is the Sect Master's decree!"
