Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Tao Zhuer, Yan Mingzi, and Hu Shan strolled along the streets of Dongfu. They loved seeing bustling scenes, and across the entire Heavenly Origin Supercontinent, what could compare to the prosperity of Dongfu?

Hu Shan rubbed his fists and said excitedly, “This is great! The preliminary competition is finally over! Only the official competition is ever interesting!”

Tao Zhuer’s beautiful eyes were filled with infatuation. “Yeah, He Fang is so handsome! I don’t think there’s any man as outstanding as him in the entire Heavenly Origin Supercontinent! I love him!”

Hu Shan cursed Tao Zhuer in his heart. He suddenly discovered that Yan Mingzi appeared unusually absent-minded.

“Old Yan, what’s the matter?”

Yan Mingzi replied cursorily and raised his head. Then, a smile appeared on his face, “I’m just thinking about how to earn spirit crystals!”

“Earn spirit crystals? Are you out of money? Do you need me to give you some?” asked Hu Shan. The three of them had fought side by side, so they had long since become good friends.

Yan Mingzi shook his head. “No, I just bought a new flying sword. Because of that, I don’t have much left. There’s no rush, though. I can just take things slow. If I really am in trouble, I’ll tell you.”

“Aiyo, you got a new flying sword? Hurry and bring it out for us to see.” Tao Zhuer immediately became excited.

Yan Mingzi took out a blue flying sword and said indifferently, “This sword is called Deep Ocean. It’s a third-stage magical treasure.”

Hu Shan took it and shook his head. “This is incomparable to your previous Water Drop Sword.”

“What are you saying?” Yan Mingzi rolled his eyes at Hu Shan. The three of them recalled their memories.

Tao Zhuer saw his expression and quickly changed the topic. “Hey, tell us what plans you’ve thought up to earn money.” Even though Yan Mingzi’s cultivation was ordinary, his ability to do business was the strongest among the three.

As expected, Yan Mingzi grew more lively when he heard her question. He immediately said excitedly, “The sword-testing conference, of course!” “Sword-testing conference? How?” Hu Shan asked curiously.

Yan Ming Zi patiently explained, “We naturally can’t interfere with other businesses. However, if we have some spare money on hand, we can gamble.”

Hu Shan immediately lost interest and said, “So it’s just gambling, that isn’t interesting at all!”

“Old Yan, don’t mind him. Tell me everything in detail.” Tao Zhuer said with interest.

Yan Ming Zi said excitedly, “Of course, it’s not good to gamble, but this time’s gambling is different from the previous ones.”

“What do you mean?”

“This sword-testing conference, although luck does play a factor in it, the real competition still depends on strength. There are certain rules. A person’s strength won’t change much in a short period of time.”

“In addition to the mutual promotion and suppression of magical arts and the advantages and disadvantages of magical treasures, although these factors can’t be used to determine the outcome accurately, the general direction is still estimable.”

“How would you know?” Hu Shan sneered. How could he know what other people’s magical treasures were?”

Yan Mingzi nodded, “This is the key. It is not easy to determine someone’s true strength, but it is possible to estimate their level of strength based on their fights with outsiders. As for magical treasures… I have some good eyes.”

“That’s right. Old Yan, you’ve got a good eye for magical treasures.” On this point, Hu Shan was extremely impressed with Yan Mingzi.

“Hehe.” Yan Mingzi had a proud expression, “There are all sorts of ways we can gamble. Just like betting on the battle between Li Ming and An Yang, which has been in the limelight lately.”

“Needless to say, An Yang will definitely win!” Hu Shan was unconvinced. “No matter how strong Li Ming is, he’s an entire cultivation realm below An Yang. How can he be a match for a mid-stage golden core realm expert?!”

“Yes, I am!” Yan Ming Zi echoed, but he swiftly changed the topic, “However, this is still the most popular match in terms of betting. And that is because everyone is focused on betting on how long Li Ming can last against An Yang.” “There’s such a thing?” Hu Shan opened his mouth wide.

“Hehe, the odds for those who bet he will lose in three moves is still quite normal,” said Yan Ming Zi. “However, once it’s past three moves, the odds start skyrocketing.”

“You didn’t bet on something like that, did you?” Hu Shan asked.

Yan Ming Zi said proudly, “I did. I bet on him lasting seven moves. The odds are

1 to 60.”

“Do you really think that he can last seven moves against An Yang?” Hu Shan was surprised. “An Yang isn’t some nobody. He’s the strongest among the younger generation of the An family. Are you that confident in Li Ming’s strength?”

Yan Mingzi said with some interest, “Then what do you think about An Yang going against Senior Brother Sha Ning?”

“Of course he’d lose!” Hu Shan did not even think twice before speaking confidently. “Senior Brother Sha Ning is very strong! Back then, he even defeated a golden core cultivator when he was at the foundation establishment realm.”

“Ah!” When Yan Mingzi heard the last sentence, he was shocked, “Why haven’t I heard of this before?”

“Very few people know about this.” Hu Shan whispered unconsciously. “Senior Brother’s sword was obtained by snatching treasures! This was also the reason why he was punished by the sect master to reflect on his mistakes.” The other two were stunned.

“Great, I didn’t waste my spirit crystals.” The first thing that came to Yan Mingzi’s mind was the spirit crystals in his hands. He chuckled, “Originally, this bet shouldn’t have been so popular. The key is that someone placed a bet on An Yang, then bet a bottle of Moonlight Flowing Death and bet that Li Ming would last at least ten moves.’

“Moonlight Flowing Death!” Hu Shan was at a loss and muttered to himself, “What a prodigal child!”

The silent Tao Zhuer suddenly spoke, “What are the odds for Li Ming winning?”

“It seems to be 1 to 300.” He looked at Tao Zhu Er in surprise. “Are you intending on betting on him? Winning that is simply impossible!”

“Why not?” Tao Zhuer said indifferently, “I’m just betting some spirit crystals for fun. Even Senior Brother Sha Ning managed to defeat someone at the golden core realm while being at the foundation establishment realm…’

Her words came to an abrupt halt, and her eyes focused. The two of them saw that she was silent and were puzzled. However, when they saw her confused expression, they also looked over and were instantly stunned.

A figure walked over.

Li Fengying looked at her junior brother and could not help but shake her head.

It did not matter if she arranged for her junior brother to be the first to compete. After all, the sect master’s intention was to let her junior brother gain more experience. No one expected Li Ming to last that many moves against An Yang.

Suddenly, someone came out and threw out a bottle of Moonlight Flowing Death, betting that her junior brother would be able to withstand ten moves from An Yang. This immediately caused a huge uproar.

Wasn’t everybody just using her junior brother as a means of entertainment?

During this period of time, her junior brother had been cooped up in his own small courtyard all day. It was unknown as to what he was up to.

She was extremely anxious.. Why isn’t junior brother seizing the time to cultivate his sword technique? Even if he is cramming at the last minute, it would still be useful no matter how slow he is at cultivating!
