Chapter 1078: I Don’t Believe I Will Lose Again!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Such a feat was more than appalling; it was sheer lunacy and ferocity!
And now, Residence of Nine Supremes would continue to advance.
No one knew how long its momentum would last, and no one could predict the rank it would stop at!
At this moment, the people in the few higher-ranking sects all had a sense of crisis. The Beast Trainer Sect stopping the Residence of Nine Supremes would be the best outcome, but if they failed, Residence of Nine Supremes would become a thorn in the flesh and make everyone feel ill at ease at all times.
When Huo Yunfeng saw that all the other sects except Residence of Nine Supremes had arrived, he could not help but roll his eyes. “They sure can keep their calm. Even their opponent, Beast Trainer Sect, has already arrived.”
Ding Buke smiled faintly. “If it were me, I would be very calm as well because the biggest goal of coming here was achieved yesterday, and the rest is a bonus, no matter how far I can go. So, why would they be impatient? And there is no danger here. Even if they were killed, they can be revived on the spot. In that case, why do they need to arrive so early?”
“Yes, I quite agree.” You Buneng burst out laughing.
“Do you want to bet again?” Huo Yunfeng’s eyes darted from side to side.
“Bet again?” Ding Buke and You Buneng’s faces flickered at the same time.
Both of them had slept the night before with the two hundred and forty pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade they won in their arms, almost laughing in their dreams. Therefore, when they heard Huo Yunfeng still wanting to bet, they naturally felt horrified and panicked at the same time. It was the third time he invited them to bet, so he must be up to something. Would their luck be as good as yesterday?
Today’s situation was different from yesterday’s. They were forced into the first game by Huo Yunfeng. Although they won in the end, it was actually a surprise. Then, they almost gave up the second game. After all, Huo Yunfeng’s intention to recover the loss in the first game was clear to see. But, they did not expect that it would be another surprise which brought them an unimaginable profit.
And now Huo Yunfeng invited them to bet again. Naturally, they did not want to play with him because they had already reaped such great profits, so there was no need for them to take any more risks.
“Yes, we will bet on today’s battle,” said Huo Yunfeng. “Everyone has witnessed Residence of Nine Supremes’ formidable strength, which is beyond all expectations. However, the Beast Trainer Sect is one of the middle three sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banners. Its strength is not weak at all, and you can’t compare it with Illusory Sword Sect, Thousand Mountains Sect, and Cangwu Union. Moreover, its people can fight with mystical beasts. The battle between the two sects is sure to be fascinating, and who will win is still unknown.”
“So this time, the odds are one to one. It is the fairest.”
Ding Buke and You Buneng exchanged a glance and both felt headache. If they had a choice, they would definitely not gamble any more. But, did they have a choice?
They had won two games in a row, and their boss had lost so much that his face had turned green. If they did not give him the chance to recover his losses, they would just look as greedy as him.
So, they still had to play the third game!
But, as Huo Yunfeng said, it was difficult for them to judge who was stronger between the two sects and who would win today.
Yesterday, everyone had misjudged Residence of Nine Supremes’ strength because of Shi Wuchen’s performance in the first match, mistaking a freakishly formidable sect for an underdog. And because it seemed weak, they were forced to bet on it. They thought they would lose the first and second games, but to their surprise, they won both games.
But, who should they bet on in the third game?
“Since it is difficult to judge, Boss, we’ll let you choose first. Tell us which sect you will bet on and we will bet on the other. We’ll let luck decide.” Both men finally made a decision.
The decision instantly put Huo Yunfeng in a dilemma, because even he found it difficult to make a choice.
There was no question that Residence of Nine Supremes was very strong, and everyone could see it. However, almost every man among the higher-ups and pillar forces in Beast Trainer Sect had a mystical beast, and even their elite disciples were generally accompanied by pet beasts. These beasts were all fighting forces and not just for show.
This must be taken into account.
Under such circumstances, although Residence of Nine Supremes was strong, it might be no match for the Beast Trainer Sect.
“I bet on the Beast Trainer Sect,” Huo Yunfeng decided through gritted teeth. “I don’t believe I’ll fall in the same pit three times!”
Ding Buke and You Buneng nodded helplessly. “In that case, the two of us will still bet on Residence of Nine Supremes. How much do we bet this time?”
“One hundred pieces of supreme-grade! How about it?” After considering while gnashing his teeth for a long time, Huo Yunfeng finally came up with a number.
The figure was somewhat unexpected to Ding Buke and You Buneng and surprised them greatly. They thought he would propose a bet of several hundred pieces of spiritual jade, but he only suggested a hundred pieces.
This…was not quite like him!
“Boss, are you running out of money?” You Buneng asked suspiciously.
Boss’s wealth wasn’t so little, was it?
Huo Yunfeng’s face suddenly turned red. “We are brothers, so we should bet small just for fun…”
“Haha…”
…
The Residence of Nine Supremes finally came out. The group of people headed by Yun Yang felt everyone’s gaze as soon as they showed themselves.
All eyes that stared at them were filled with a complicated look. And the gazes from their neighbor, the Beast Trainer Sect, were filled with mixed feelings.
“Sect Leaders of both sects, please come to me.” Huo Yunfeng’s voice rang out suddenly.
This time, both sects quickly decided on the order of the matches. Well, it was actually still the challenged sect, Beast Trainer Sect, who made the decision, while Residence of Nine Supremes accepted them all.
The first match was the match of top experts; the two sects would each send their strongest experts to fight. After that would be the match of disciples, the match of sect leaders, the match of free will, and the match of formations.
After learning the order of matches arranged by Qin Ruogu, everyone knew that Beast Trainer Sect had obviously given up the last match, and even the fourth match might not be fought in the end.
After all, it had at least a seventy percent chance of winning in the first three matches.
In the duel between experts, even a slight gap may affect the outcome, and a winning rate of more than sixty percent meant that the victory was basically in hand.
“That’s fine with me.” Yun Yang agreed readily.
“In that case, you may go back and prepare.”
Huo Yunfeng was satisfied with Yun Yang’s readiness. Then, he patted Qin Ruogu on the shoulder and said encouragingly with a smile on his face, “Sect Leader Qin, I think highly of your Beast Trainer Sect.”
Qin Ruogu was flattered. “Thank you for your appreciation, Your Excellency! Beast Trainer Sect will not lose this battle!”
Huo Yunfeng pretended to be calm and said, “Just do your best!” After all, he had a duty to perform, so he could not show too much partiality. At the very least, he should keep a fair attitude!
At this moment, an old man with a bleak look was already standing in the field, waiting for his opponent.
