Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The Bet, One Punch!
No one noticed Jin Min and Lin Yun.
At this moment, all attention on the high platform was drawn in another direction.
A gambling event was unexpectedly initiated by Lingyun Pavilion at this moment.
Luo Cheng wins, one to three odds!
Lin Yun wins, ten to thirteen odds!
Many people were surprised by these odds.
The ten to thirteen odds for Lin Yun were particularly high!
Most people believed that in this duel, the outcome was almost certain; Luo Cheng had no chance of winning at all, so even ten to eleven odds for Lin Yun’s victory would be normal, yet it’s ten to thirteen!
Suddenly, everyone was excited and bet almost entirely on Lin Yun’s victory.
A money-making opportunity like this shouldn’t be missed!
As for Luo Cheng, besides a few from the Luo Family betting on him, almost no one paid attention, except for one person!
Yun Mengli!
"Luo Cheng wins, one million taels."
Yun Mengli directly handed over a Gold Note to Steward Xu.
"You want to bet on Luo Cheng’s victory?"
Luo Yao examined Yun Mengli with her bright eyes.
She had heard of Yun Mengli, awakening a Ten-star Martial Soul and rising as a new star in the Xuanyuan Sect, gaining some fame throughout East Desolate!
Yun Mengli nodded slightly.
Jin Min returned just in time to see this scene, his eyelid twitching uncontrollably, and said:
"Mengli, since when are you interested in this kind of thing?"
Yun Mengli said indifferently: "It’s just a momentary interest."
Suppressing his anger, Jin Min smiled and said, "Then I’ll play too. Ten million taels, Lin Yun wins!"
Ten million taels!
As soon as these words fell, everyone around was taken aback.
This is quite a fortune!
Steward Xu looked at Luo Yao.
Luo Yao’s bright eyes curved, revealing an elegant smile, and said: "Since the Eighth Prince is so interested, we certainly can’t spoil his fun. We at Lingyun Pavilion accept this bet."
Jin Min didn’t have that many Gold Notes on him and left only a promissory note.
Yun Mengli glanced at Jin Min, "Ten million taels is not a small amount for you either. I advise you to take back your promissory note."
Jin Min looked at Lin Yun in the field, and confidently said: "In this battle, Lin Yun will definitely win!"
"Hehe, wish you both good luck."
Luo Yao’s eyes carried a hint of charming laughter as she accepted the promissory note and turned to leave.
The skinny elder beside her said, "If Luo Cheng loses, the compensation amount won’t be small. Are you that confident in Luo Cheng?"
Luo Yao smiled slightly: "It’s not that I’m confident in him, but in the person behind him. A Medicine King is enough to turn decay into miracles."
"How noble is the Medicine King, why would he accept an awakened Wasted Martial Soul as a disciple? I find this matter suspicious."
The skinny elder shook his head slightly, his slender eyes looking at Luo Cheng, shining like electricity: "Never mind, I’ll see for myself how true this matter is! Whether his master is qualified to make alchemy for me!"
In the middle of the high platform.
Luo Cheng looked at the noisy audience and touched his chin, muttering:
"If I lose, I’d have to pay a lot of money. Does Luo Yao have that much confidence in me?"
From start to finish, Luo Cheng never showed his strength before Luo Yao, so naturally, her actions weren’t because she trusted him, but for the person behind him!
How could Luo Cheng have expected that by flaunting his connections, Luo Yao had already regarded him as a disciple of the Medicine King!
Shaking his head, Luo Cheng’s gaze fixed on Lin Yun, "Lin Yun, aren’t you coming down yet?"
Instantly, the entire high platform fell into silence.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Luo Cheng and Lin Yun.
Lin Yun put away the Jade Token and Elixir Pills, walking step by step into the arena.
"Luo Cheng, I should thank you! If it weren’t for your arrogant presumption, my dream wouldn’t have been realized so quickly!"
Lin Yun was speaking the truth.
His dream was to enter Xuanyuan Sect for training!
Not only did this dream come true ahead of schedule, but he also befriended the Eighth Prince!
Standing before Luo Cheng, Lin Yun slightly raised his chin, proudly saying:
"You will be the first stepping stone on my path to rise, Lin Yun!"
Luo Cheng had a calm gaze: "Who will be whose stepping stone is still unknown."
"Even now, you dare to talk tough! Then I’ll let you understand what a gap is and what despair is! I’ll defeat you in three moves!"
Lin Yun snorted coldly, stomped his foot, cracking the ground, and his whole person rushed towards Luo Cheng like a sidelong knife, slashing fiercely.
Swoosh!
This palm was extremely fast, producing a slight tearing sound in the air.
Luo Cheng remained still, reaching forward with his hand.
Boom!
Lin Yun’s unstoppable hand knife was firmly grasped by Luo Cheng.
"What!"
Lin Canglang stood up, the teacup in his hand shattering into pieces!
It’s no wonder he was so shocked; Lin Yun possessed top-tier Body Tempering Realm strength, in his eyes, for a waste to stop Lin Yun’s attack was impossible!
Yet, Luo Cheng effortlessly blocked it.
"Cheng Er has broken through to the Body Tempering Realm Ninth Layer!" Luo Hong was quite surprised.
Luo Mingshan stroked his beard with a smile, "Watch and you’ll see."
"One move already."
Luo Cheng calmly looked at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was equally surprised.
This palm carried seventy to eighty percent of his strength, yet he couldn’t budge the opponent!
His face flashed with shame and anger, Lin Yun focused his strength, using his palm as a knife.
"Fall for me! Wave Separation!"
With a furious shout, Lin Yun’s right hand descended towards Luo Cheng with the force of splitting a mountain.
This was the Lin Family’s Three-star Martial Arts, the Wave Separation Palm, which Lin Yun had cultivated to the Great Achievement Realm, the wind from his palm slashing blew Luo Cheng’s hair wildly.
Luo Cheng’s gaze remained calm and unshaken, like a rock standing against the waves, grabbing with one hand.
With a bang, Lin Yun’s unstoppable palm knife was firmly caught by Luo Cheng, unable to move a bit!
"He blocked it again!"
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
The battle, which was expected to be one-sided, suddenly became mysterious!
"This is impossible!"
Lin Yun’s eyes widened, his mind blank, he couldn’t believe that his Wave Separation Palm was so easily blocked.
"You take one of my punches too!"
Luo Cheng’s eyes were like lightning, simply punching forward.
"Get out of here!"
Lin Yun, full of unexpressed anger, concentrated all his strength in his left palm and hit hard to meet the fist.
Crack!
A clear bone-cracking sound rang out; Lin Yun screamed, his body flying four or five meters away. His left hand twisted weirdly, hanging down, with gruesome white bones visible.
"Heavens! Lin Yun lost!"
"It’s unbelievable, Luo Cheng only used one punch! Lin Yun couldn’t withstand even a single punch!"
"Lin Yun is at the Body Tempering Realm Ninth Layer, and he awakened a Six-star Martial Soul. How could he be defeated so easily! Has Luo Cheng already broken through to the Transcendence Realm!"
Seeing Lin Yun knocked away with one punch, the whole high platform was in an uproar!
Everyone was shocked, unable to believe their eyes.
Everything before their eyes was too unbelievable!
"Scoundrel!"
Suddenly, an angry shout exploded in the arena.
Lin Canglang’s hair and beard stood on end, glaring at Luo Cheng, and he shouted angrily:
"You little beast! You obviously broke through to Transcendence Realm, yet dared to conceal your realm and participate in the Hunting Festival! Do you think our Lin Family is easy to bully!"
Boom!
Without hesitation, Lin Canglang leaped and struck a palm towards Luo Cheng.
