Chapter 82 The Gamble
Wang Bugui went to Ling Peak again with his buddies and drank and talked there, recalling the funny things that happened today.
“I say, elder brother, you haven’t seen that guy’s face! It’s so funny to dress up like a pig to eat a tiger. I think I can set up a small gambling house tomorrow when you are in the contest. With those people who have no faith in your real power, we will totally make a fortune!” Yu Wude held the wine jar and laughed loudly.
“Fatty, your way of threatening is too horrible to be accepted! Strip off all the clothes and throw them to the herd of spiritual beasts that are drugged. You are a genius to come out with this thought.” Patting his shoulder, Lyu Hao smiled.
“You should change your name to No Virtue (sounds like Wude). This dirty fighting! You’ve got me!” Zhao Changge shook his head and laughed, his hand pointing to Yu Wude.
“Haha, who am I? I’m going to become an immortal someday. Anyway, you guys have a chance to get my signature first!” Yu Wude laughed, rubbing his belly.
“Hahaha. Screw your immortal! Do you also want to find a fairy in this session?” Wang Bugui grinned.
“Of course, there is really a fairy that tempts me.” Yu Wude murmured after hearing what Wang Bugui said.
“Oh, really? Who is she? Tell me.” Zhao Changge put down the wine jar, came close to Yu Wude and asked.
“Shangguan Yiyi from Palace of Hundred Flowers! She is clever and active. She also likes joining in the fun. She is my type.” Yu Wude snickered.
“Oh my god! This is your type? I’m surprised. I thought you should like a tender sister like Jiang Lianyue or the kind of fairy like Meiqing.” Zhao Changge elbowed him, winking.
“Jiang Lianyue is too tender. I can’t bear it. Meiqing is indeed the most beautiful one of the three girls, but I don’t think she likes me. Yiyi is the best for me.” Yu Wude squinted and smiled.
“Wake up, dude! You called her Yiyi intimately, but she doesn’t even know who you are right now.” Wang Bugui mocked.
These words aroused a blast of guffaw from Lyu Hao and Zhao Changge. Yu Wude’s face went red with anger and bickered with them. Wang Bugui laughed loudly on the side. They drank and played each other until it was dawn. It was OK for people with cultivations of this level to stay up for a long time, otherwise, important things might be held up.
The rays of golden light broke open the clouds, gently diffusing on the earth. There were all propitious omens in Pure Land of Mountain Tai. Aura mists lingered everywhere. A crystal dewdrop slowly slipped off a leaf. During the falling, it reflected a person’s back who was hunkering on the edge of the cliff, breathing and circulating the prana power. Around him, there were three other people who were doing morning exercises together with him.
“Phew…”
About one hour later, Wang Bugui opened his eyes. His body surface was bursting forth sparkling golden lights, which even dyed his hair, making him look like the son of god. The prana power and blood of his Aura Sea had already dyed about half of the dark silent sea area into red and golden colors. In the central whirlpool, the essence of prana power and blood was floating there with more prosperous brilliance and enormous aura. Then the lean and vigorous body began to move and powerful prana power and blood gushed out along with it.
“Boom…”
The pulsing prana power and blood in Wang Bugui’s body were making thunderous sounds. The other three men just woke up at this moment and glanced questioningly at one another when seeing this scene. This kind of prana power and blood was so strong that it gave out thunderous sounds just by circulation and cultivation. Getting close to feel it, they found that their prana power and blood were also resonating.
“Eh? There is a stronger in Liberal Cultivator Peak?” Right now, Leng Yueyan was sitting in meditation at the edge of a cliff on the main peak where Sect of the Nine Heavens was located. She raised her ice-engraving and jade-like face and looked at Liberal Cultivator Peak, confusion filling her beautiful grey eyes. She was born being compatible with cultivation and felt one kind of powerful aura fluctuations.
“Oh…”
Meanwhile, the closed eyes of Wang Bugui also moved slightly, the character “Chuan” forming between his brows. His sense field felt that somebody was prying into the situation here, so he withdrew the prana power and blood and looked at the main peak where the Sect of the Nine Heavens was located.
“It’s him!”
“It’s her!”
The two people almost felt each other at the same time and both showed grave expression. They soon withdrew their telekinesis respectively. The people behind Wang Bugui didn’t understand the situation.
“Elder brother, who are you talking about?” Lyu Hao asked, rubbing his head.
“Nothing. Let’s get prepared to climb down. Next contest is about to start.” Wang Bugui stood up and said. Then he jumped off the cliff. About one hundred meters down the cliff, he circulated his prana power to an outburst and rushed forward fiercely, with three other guys following closely.
The last 16 of the contest were going to be elected today. Gathering of Practitioners was becoming more and more exciting. All the people were keen to know the strong and weak within those geniuses. What on earth were their Sunday punches? How strong they would be if they showed their real power. Liberal cultivators were also highly anticipated and there might be some really amazing cultivators.
Wang Bugui and his buddies went to their battlefields respectively. He looked at the red light contest list and found that his contest was in the middle. The first contest was about to start. Lyu Hao was in the first contest. Later the bell rang, the situation was touch-and-go. He howled again as before, held a double-bladed halberd and rushed ahead with unbeatable aggressiveness.
“Killing Immortals and Souls!”
Lyu Hao jumped to mid-air and hacked the halberd down fiercely. His opponent, Zhou Chuan, withstood this slash with a violet gold broadsword. They were neck and neck without hurting anybody. And then Lyu Hao exerted the remaining two patterns of this move, pressing hard on Zhou Chuan.
Zhou Chuan struggled to resist the three attacks with all his strength and his hands were shaking. Soon he gnashed his teeth to hack one sword, which was blocked laterally by Lyu Hao lifting up his halberd. After that, Lyu Hao held up the halberd and swung it continuously.
The halberd spun and whistled, creating an unparalleled domineering spirit sweeping along with it. Zhou Chuan was so shocked that even his Hukou acupuncture was bleeding. Lyu Hao subsequently exerted the second style “Killing God to Be Broken”. He held the halberd with one hand and hacked down fiercely.
The halberd trend had already come into being and hacked with tens of thousands of pounds of magic power. The opponent coughed blood and flew backward with his broadsword whining along with him. Lyu Hao swung the halberd backward to the ground and rushed out upon it. He threw another attack with the halberd laterally in the air, knocking Zhou Chuan out of the field. There were seven patterns for Overpowering Halberd and only two of them were already enough for defeating the opponent.
The next contest was involved with Zhao Changge. He used fast attacks as before. His opponent was Lan Feng from Zhenyang Sect. He rushed forward with dragon gut silver spear at the beginning of the contest. Lan Feng took out a golden sword and conjured to entangle the opponent while retreating. Zhao Changge made a sweep to knock the golden sword into the air. Then he swung the spear swiftly to break open the following golden rainbows.
Afterwards, he threw the spear, which turned into a raging dragon, roaring to the opponent. Lan Feng conjured quickly with both hands and turned his magic weapon into a large golden sword to fight back. They two were tit for tat and created a violent aura storm upon collision. The area centered with the two weapons began to come apart inch by inch. That raging dragon finally tore apart the large sword and rushed ahead with a roaring sound.
Lan Feng hurriedly tossed out several Lei runes with an intention to stop the attack. But unexpectedly, when the dragon head was about to arrive, Zhao Changge withdrew the spear. He rushed over from the side instead. Lei runes failed to work. Lan Feng frowned his brows and continued to control his magic weapon to ward off Zhao Changge.
But his attacks were blocked in any direction. The distance between them was drawing closer quickly. The outcome was very clear. When Zhao Changge got close, Lan Feng couldn’t keep up and was smashed by the dazzling spear patterns. Then Zhao Changge swept the spear again to knock Lan Feng out of the field, flying backward farther away.
“We’re all done here. It’s our elder brother’s turn now. Hurry up! Let’s go get people to start gambling!” Yu Wude also defeated his opponent and called the two people to go to the battlefield of Wang Bugui. Right now babel of voices could be heard there. All the people wanted to know if Wang Bugui also had some luck this time.
“Do you think Wang Bugui could win this time?”
“It’s hard to say. His body movements are really weird.”
“He is highly overrated. His body movements were no longer an advantage to his opponent today, Han Xing from Lingwu Sect. This sect majored in body cultivation and was second to none in terms of speed.”
…
This contest caused much discussion off the field and raised very different opinions before even starting. Liberal cultivators were curious if Wang Bugui could win again. And the disciples from all the sects hated his guts. Were it not for his messing around, they might be standing there at this moment.
Yu Wude kept listening carefully and laughed to the extent that his eyes were narrowed into slits. He exclaimed promptly, “Who dares to gamble with me? I think Wang Bugui has good luck. He will also win this time!”
“Hey. I have a totally different idea. What’ll you gamble?” A disciple from Zhenyang rolled up his sleeves and said.
“Take out your most precious treasures. No comer will be rejected. I’ll take as many as I can!” Yu Wude smiled. He took out a bunch of panacea and some magic weapons from his storage ring, which piled up on the ground. The cultivators around here were so envious.
“I want to gamble! My offer is three Divine Spark Runes and a counterfeit for diamond chisel of half holy. I say Yun Feng will win!” At this moment, a voice was heard from the crowd. A man, holding three runes and a silver diamond chisel, jumped up and down.
Yu Wude saw him and smiled. He agreed cheerfully. This man was Zhao Changge, a figurant for the gambling. Those people were just on the sidelines, waiting and seeing. They needed a bellwether. After Zhao Changge spoke, their hearts began to stir, as they knew that the two magic weapons were all good stuff below holy level.
“OK! I offer a Wufang Aura-gathering Pill. It contains enormous aura and also helps aura gathering. It’s the best time to take this pill while breaking through the bottleneck.” The man who shouted first cried out, gritting his teeth.
With Zhao Changge as the bellwether, this man also gambled boldly. Then many people placed bets on Yun Feng successively. A lot of panacea and magic weapons were taken out.
“Damn it. I’m the only one who has placed bets on Wang Bugui. Just forget it! Forget it!” Yu Wude wanted to back out, his face filling with horror.
“No backing out! Or we will beat you up together!”
“Yeah! If you back out, don’t want to take back your stuff!”
Seeing the fatty getting frightened, those cultivators who had placed bets were really joyful with redoubled confidence. Yu Wude laughed secretly with even side stitch, but he had to put on another face in front of the people. “OK. Please show some mercies. These treasures are hard-earned. Wang Bugui, hang in there! Don’t break me!” He said with a bitter face.
With this shrill cries and despairing expression, Yu Wude indeed deserved an Oscar statuette. All betted people sneered. It seemed to them that Wang Bugui was hopeless even for Yu Wude, so his treasures would be surely divided up.
“Brother Han, please show some mercies!”
Right now, Wang Bugui was standing in the field and reacted in a way Yu Wude hoped. The contest had not started, but he looked so fearful that his body was trembling slightly. At this sight, those cultivators off the field became more excited. Fearing before the fighting, the fighter was sure to lose!
They kept yelling and encouraging Han Xing, which was led by Zhao Changge. They all looked forward to starting the contest quickly, so they could obtain the treasures earlier.
Moments later, a clear bell rang. The battle was touch-and-go!
