Chapter 788 An Astounding Bet
"The eccentric monk Huang Tingye, the Peony Fairy of the Water Spirit Sect, Dou Yi of the Dou family..."
Mei Niannian looked at the six people who appeared one after another, her brows furrowing more and more, while explaining to Ye Kang.
"These six are all renowned masters, and they have influence in the martial arts world of Lingquan County. In particular, Dou Yi from the Dou family, whose influence extends beyond the martial arts world to include the imperial court."
Ye Kang followed Mei Niannian's narration and quietly observed the six seniors.
Clearly, those who were honored as guests by the White Moon Sword Sect were all Nirvana Realm experts.
They were also observing Ye Kang. The carefree and eccentric monk Huang Tingye said nonchalantly, "Is this the little guy who wants to challenge the Ten Heroes? He really lives up to his reputation as a young man, he's arrogant enough."
On the other side, a middle-aged man with long hair tied up glanced at Ye Kang with disdain: "Just trying to attract attention, Su Hongxiu, you're not cut out to be a teacher."
The middle-aged man who dared to show such disrespect to the head of the academy was none other than Dou Yi from the Dou family.
Su Hongxiu ignored him, only raising the corners of her mouth and saying, "We can talk about the rest after the fight. Let's talk about the bet first. Fellow Daoist Canye, what do you want to bet?"
Her eyes lit up, and a long-lost excitement appeared on her face.
Finally... we can gamble again!
This hardcore gambler finally got what he wanted, and naturally he wouldn't waste this hard-won opportunity; he was determined to gamble big.
Canye Zhenren narrowed his eyes.
He knew Ye Kang was quite strong, but he was still confident that he couldn't possibly take on ten people at once.
If even one out of ten people can win, then the White Moon Sword Sect will be considered the victor.
With such an obvious result, where does this crazy woman surnamed Su get such unfounded confidence?
Fine, since she wants to give it to me, I'll grant her wish.
Master Canye said, "My White Moon Sword Sect has acquired quite a few treasures in recent years, some of which are quite respectable. I just don't know if Master Su can handle them."
"You dare underestimate me! Tell me, what can you offer!" Su Hongxiu was furious. After years of dominating the gambling table, there was no chip she couldn't produce.
Seeing that his prey had taken the bait, Master Canye immediately had a thought, and a pitch-black token appeared in front of him.
The next second, everyone in the stands fell silent.
Su Hongxiu's eyes widened, and the six experts also gaped open.
"The Heavenly Decree!"
"Remnant Night! How did you get this thing?!"
"You're insane! Are you out of your mind?! You actually dare to gamble with this!"
The composure of the six experts vanished completely, and they were all hysterical. Even the most composed Dou Yi was now breathing rapidly, staring greedily at the token.
Ye Kang was completely confused and could only look at Mei Niannian.
However, Mei Niannian shook her head; she had never heard of this name either.
At this moment, Meiluoting spoke softly: "The Holy Emperor of the Martial Dynasty bestowed eighty-eight Heavenly Decrees. Those who hold these decrees can go to the Martial Capital in the New Year to enter the Martial Ancestor Temple and draw upon the power of the Martial Ancestor. The White Moon Sword Sect, what a White Moon Sword Sect."
His eyes were sharp, and his face was already showing signs of wariness.
The fact that the White Moon Sword Sect brought out such a precious item is clearly a display of their strength, indicating that their ambition to dominate the martial arts world of Lingquan County has reached its peak.
Master Canye was very satisfied with their expressions. He raised his head and said, "If you can't produce something of equal value, just say so."
Everyone looked at Su Hongxiu, but unexpectedly, the latter suddenly smiled.
"Is this the thing you're talking about?"
The next second, she raised her hand and took out an identical token.
Everyone was stunned again.
"Good heavens! A second Heavenly Decree!"
Master Canye was also stunned, his face turning pale as he stared at the Mitian Token in Su Hongxiu's hand.
After confirming that it was genuine, he broke down.
"Are you kidding me! How could you have that?!"
Su Hongxiu nonchalantly toyed with the Mitian Token: "Is it strange? This was originally bestowed upon the court by the Holy Emperor, but some of it has flowed into the martial world. I have served as a general and made some contributions, so it's not a big deal to reward me with one, is it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a surge of anger and resentment.
This is so unbalanced!
The Heavenly Decree, which was considered a priceless treasure by martial arts practitioners, seemed insignificant in the eyes of these court officials.
Master Canye took a few deep breaths and gritted his teeth, saying, "Very well, since that's the case, then I'll accept the bet."
"Wait a minute."
Su Hongxiu suddenly waved her hand, interrupting him.
"You've taken your bet, but I haven't said what my bet is yet."
"What! Two Heavenly Decrees aren't enough?!"
The six experts nearly popped their eyes out; just how big of a game was this guy trying to play?
Su Hongxiu said casually, "I will take out another 100,000 mid-grade spirit crystals and five rare and precious materials."
The members of the White Moon Sword Sect all fell silent.
I've never seen anyone so audacious, so arrogant, clearly showing no respect for them whatsoever.
In front of the mountain gate, all the disciples of the White Moon Sword Sect were filled with righteous indignation, each gritting their teeth.
Master Canye turned to his ten disciples: "Do you have confidence?"
"I am willing to die for my sect!"
Ten people stepped forward at the same time, each with raging anger in their eyes. They stared intently at Ye Kang, wishing they could tear him apart and suck his marrow from his bones right now.
Ye Kang looked helpless. How did all the hatred that the leader had drawn end up on him?
At that moment, Su Hongxiu's voice transmission suddenly rang in his ear.
"Let's double-check one last time, is it okay to do it?"
"can."
This time, Ye Kang did not hesitate and gave an absolutely definite answer.
Su Hongxiu continued, "We can only win, we must win. All I want is the Heavenly Token; the spirit crystals and precious plants are all yours."
"clear."
Ye Kang nodded.
Su Hongxiu immediately stood up, her gaze sharp and her tone forceful: "The bet is settled, witnesses all of you."
The six experts and Meloting all nodded in confirmation.
Actually, there was one more thing Su Hongxiu hadn't said. If Ye Kang had really told her, she would have escaped without hesitation using a secret technique.
Anyway, I'm not going to give away the Heavenly Decree I have, so I might as well default on it. At worst, I'll just quit being the head of the academy.
The others, of course, were unaware that she could be so shameless, and were still immersed in this earth-shattering bet.
Dou Yi said, "We will be fair. Now, let's invite the heroes from both sides to take the stage. I wonder if this young friend Ye Kang would like a one-on-one tag team battle, or..."
"Let's go together."
Ye Kang spoke calmly, his tone completely indifferent.
Everyone was startled again, and then a look of disgust appeared on their faces.
What an arrogant brat! He's so cocky, even a god couldn't save him.
Master Canye also sneered, "Very well, all of you may leave. Let this arrogant little hero know the price of his arrogance."
"Follow the order!"
The Ten Heroes of Baiyue spoke at the same time, and then coldly flew to the large arena in front of the mountain gate.
Ye Kang slowly flew down, remaining calm and composed amidst countless angry gazes.
