Chapter 1745: Double Down

rent appearance very much. But the Sumeru Ring of this Azure Sky Ghost King gave her unprecedented hope. It contained enough resources to advance to the Ghost King Realm.”As Lu Xiaoteng said, ghosts c..."What, a second-rank Dan King against the four-ring champion Lu Heshen Is this a mistake A Dan King would actually go on stage to duel with someone" The moment the announcer's voice finished introducing the matchup, hundreds of people nearby erupted in an uproar.

"Believe me, in the Hualin Arena, I would never say something outlandish to mislead you all. Look for yourselves!" With a sweep of his hand, the announcer brought forth a shimmering light curtain from thin air. Within it was an image of a figure cloaked in azure robes, silver hair flowing freely, and a serene expression.

“Who is this We don’t know him at all.” Someone said immediately.

"Yes, yes, this is Lu Danwang, the famous master of alchemy who made a big splash at the Qinglian Temple Alchemy Conference. I've met him before." One of the gambling masters was a grandmaster of alchemy from Yue Ling Danfang. Although Yue Ling Danfang wasn't as renowned as the three major alchemy houses in Huayang, it still had a good reputation in Yuanling City.

Besides this person, two other alchemists present also spoke up. With the voices of these alchemists, others couldn't help but believe it. The scene was extremely lively for a moment, and everyone was discussing this extremely rare battle loudly.

And at this time, the odds have already come out. 1.3 to 1.

"Are you kidding me Lü Hewen is somewhat famous, and he's at the late stage of Nascent Soul. Facing Lu Danwang, who's only at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul body cultivator, the odds are this low" Someone immediately expressed dissatisfaction with these odds.

“I guess this Lu Dan Wang just wants to make a name for himself.”

"A 1.3 ratio" Lu Xia Tian was taken aback. It was lower than he had imagined, but being able to win this hand would keep him busy for a while.

"Brother Lu is indeed willing to make a big bet." At this time, Yu Zi Mo and the others came in one after another.

"How much did you guys pay" Zhu Jinfu casually asked.

"I bid six thousand," Yu Zi Mo said.

"I have five thousand and five." Guo Jingyu said.

"We're both a bit poor, so we only put in four thousand." Both Zhou Yu and Cui Liu said at the same time.

When Zhu Jinfu heard this, his face immediately lit up.

“Well, Brother Zhu, you’re always so generous with your contributions. Are you feeling that we haven't contributed enough To be honest, I've already brought out everything from my hands. If it weren't for the profits from the Yao Kun expedition last time, I wouldn't have more than five or six hundred to contribute.” Zhou Yu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

“Hey, Zhu brother, why are you in such a hurry” Yu ZiMo called out from behind.

“I’m going all in!” Zhu Jinfu replied. Half an hour later, when Zhu Jinfu returned, his face was grim.

"What's wrong with you again, Zhu" Guo Jingyu teased. "Didn't the time for betting pass"

"You guys are quite confident, aren't you Aren't you afraid of losing everything" Zhu Jinfu glanced at them.

"Enough said, it's time to start anyway. I told you so, working with Brother Lu for so long and still having so little faith in him. How much did you put down" Guo Jingyu laughed.

"Three thousand," Zhu Jinfu said with irritation.

"Not bad, giggled. Guo Jingyu and the others burst into laughter. "Hua Yifeng isn't a good person either. He just helped He Wenyu argue about Lu Ge's inferior spirit crystals and dared to make a move. We can't directly fight Hua Yifeng, so we could only place bets on them as a scare tactic. I bet they are having a headache now."

"What They six combined only bet over 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals" Wu Jihai saw the details of the bet and his complexion changed slightly. You know, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators betting a hundred or two hundred low-grade spirit crystals is already rare. Most are in the dozens, or even just a few tens. "

A normal duel, with a divine-level audience of mostly hundreds of people. As for those cultivators at the Yuan Ying stage, they couldn't enter at all and could only place bets using spirit stones through their names. In other words, it was a relatively small event, and even if you added up the stakes of both sides, it wouldn't exceed ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals. The Huaxing Arena made a profit most of the time through commissions.

Right now, apart from the six people including Lu Xiaoteng, most others bet on Lü Hesheng to win. There are some who bet on Lu Xiaoteng, this second-rank Dan King, to win, but it only accounts for about 30% of the total bets. In terms of betting capital, it also roughly maintains a ratio of seven to three.

Due to the emergence of a Second-Rank Dan King in this confrontation, the number of gamblers has increased by nearly three times.

"If Lü Hesheng wins this battle, it'll be fine. But if he loses, our fighting ring will suffer quite a loss." Wu Jihai instructed his younger brother beside him, "Ji Jun, you go find Lü Hesheng personally and give him some pills to help him recover his mana and boost his strength. He's not allowed to take pills during the duel, so have him take them in advance."

"Ji Wu, you immediately send someone to gather more information about this Lu Xia Tian. This is just the beginning, and he's already made such a heavy bet. If Lu Xia Tian wins, I'm afraid things won't be so easy to settle."

"This... couldn't be right," Huayifeng frowned, sensing that the severity of the situation had surpassed his initial expectations. Judging solely from the accounts before him, if Lu Xia Tian won this battle, the disparity in the wagered amounts between the victor and vanquished would result in Hualin Arena losing over 16,000 low-grade spirit crystals.

"As for the specifics, we'll know after this match is over. However, Zhu Jinping and Yu Zimo are both extremely shrewd individuals, so this matter won't be simple," Wu Jih Hi said with a stern face.

Just as Wu Jihai was worried, Lu Hesheng in black appeared. The duel site was unusually open, with extremely rigorous defensive barriers surrounding it.

Lu Hexing had a ferocious scar on his left temple, deep enough to see the bone. His eyes fixed on Lu Xiaottian with a sinister gleam.

"Alright, time's up! This highly anticipated duel is officially beginning!" the duel announcer boomed. "Lu Danwang is making his first appearance at our Hualin Arena. As always, let me reiterate the rules to avoid any suspicion of a staged fight. Unless one party loses the ability to counterattack, the duel must continue."

"Lü Heshen, I would like to ask for your guidance!" Lü Heshen, a tall and imposing figure, cupped his hands together towards Lu Xiaottian.

"I can." Lu Xia Tian nodded.

Suddenly, the crowd around the stage burst into laughter.

"Just talk!" Lü Heisheng's eyes narrowed, his hands flashing as five wooden staffs materialized behind him, shooting toward Lu Xia Tian like lightning.

Though it was a wooden spear, it was harder than gold and stone. Facing the five wooden spears that were shot at him, Lu Xiaotian remained calm. With his left hand outstretched, the Fang Tian Hua Ji appeared with a clang. Ding ding ding.... The five wooden spears attacked in a chain-like manner, their offensive dense and fierce. They didn't give Lu Xiaotian a moment to breathe.

Five spears danced in the air, rising and falling like fluttering plum blossoms.

Though the five wooden spears attacked with increasing ferocity, Lu Xiaofeng remained unmoved. With simple thrusts and sweeps of his halberd, he effortlessly parried each attack.

...didn't even see how Lu Xiaoteng moved his feet.

Amidst the chaos, only streaks of gunshots and flashes of halberds could be seen.

In this intense clash, what was consumed was not only mana, but also a more severe drain on divine consciousness. As time went on, most of the people around felt that the two fighters were surrounded by a blur, and their figures were hard to see clearly.
