Chapter 604: Chapter 498 This is My... Friend_2
Lin Feng found that the higher the level of combat, the larger the bets placed by bettors generally were.
Lin Feng didn’t rush to make a move, watching intently for half an hour, and had basically familiarized himself with all the rules.
"Junior Brother Lin Feng, why haven’t you made a move yet? Do you lack confidence?" At this moment, Huang Yao glanced at Lin Feng, her face showing a teasing smile.
Lin Feng ignored her, instead focusing his gaze on one of the battle platforms in the canyon, where the battle had just concluded, and another person had flown down from above the canyon, landing on the platform.
It was a young man in purple clothes, straight in stature, with the cultivation of a Third Layer Heavenly Martial Master, the same as Lin Feng.
"I, Wei Hai from Qitian Peak, bid 10,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones; those below the Fourth Layer Heavenly Martial Master are welcome to challenge." The purple-clad youth looked up towards the top of the canyon, scanning the crowd as he spoke loudly.
10,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to ten million Low Grade Spirit Stones, was not a small bet—the challenger would gain 30%, which was 3,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones, if they defeated Wei Hai.
"Hehe! It’s about time for some action!"
Lin Feng chuckled lightly, took a step forward, and headed towards that battle platform.
Swoosh!
Lin Feng swiftly moved, flying towards the battle platform in the canyon, quickly landing on it.
"Lin Feng!" Lin Feng greeted his opponent with a fist salute, introducing himself.
Wei Hai nodded, sizing Lin Feng up before saying, "Let’s start!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Vigorous Origin surged around Wei Hai, his aura turning fierce.
Above the canyon.
"Sister Hong, do you think Junior Brother Lin Feng can win?" Huang Yao glanced at Hong Qingxuan, a slight smile on her lips.
"He will definitely win!" Hong Qingxuan confidently said, knowing full well Lin Feng’s combat strength.
"Sister Hong, it seems you have a lot of confidence in him?"
Huang Yao was somewhat surprised, continuing: "Usually Sister Hong doesn’t show much concern for those high-cultivation Inner Sect Disciples, yet you’re so close to an Outer Disciple. This person must be extraordinary. I really want to see what’s so special about him."
Huang Yao sneered in her heart, but praised Lin Feng highly. If Lin Feng were to lose, it would be embarrassing for Hong Qingxuan.
However, no sooner had Huang Yao finished speaking than her expression suddenly froze.
Because during their conversation, the battle below had ended.
Lin Feng gently raised his fist, striking out with a single punch. The Five-Colored Fist Glow roared through the void, knocking Wei Hai down from the platform.
Just one punch, and the battle was resolved—extremely clean and decisive!
"This... this is so strong!" Huang Yao furrowed her brows, somewhat astonished. She had not expected Lin Feng to possess such formidable strength.
Hong Qingxuan wore a slight smile, showing no surprise.
Below on the battle platform, after Lin Feng defeated Wei Hai with one punch, Wei Hai was almost stunned, not realizing Lin Feng’s incredible power.
After a short while, he grimly took out 3,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Lin Feng.
In Gambling Valley, with an Elder overseeing, the bets set by the bettors must be paid immediately if lost; defaulting on the bet means violation of the sect rules and severe punishment.
Thus, cases of defaulting on bets basically did not exist here.
3,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones in hand, Lin Feng smiled slightly, finding this way of making money rather easy. Then, he stretched his form and returned to the upper canyon.
He didn’t stay on the battle platform to initiate challenges, planning first to act as a challenger and win some Spirit Stones until there were no suitable opponents left, then initiate challenges.
Lin Feng’s clean and decisive victory this time also caught the attention of many.
"Who is that person? Defeating a peer-level Martial Artist with a single punch, very impressive!"
"I wonder which peak’s genius he is."
"I know, he’s Lin Feng, the new disciple from Sky-reaching Peak; he also killed Zheng Renjie from Luotian Peak last time."
"Oh, it’s him, no wonder he’s so formidable!"
Many people whispered, and Wu Sheng also on the opposite canyon, seeing Lin Feng’s battle, revealed a hint of a smile on his face.
"Amazing! Truly worthy of being the top contender on the Hongyu Hundred Extreme List!" Wu Sheng exclaimed.
Returning to the canyon, Hong Qingxuan immediately smiled and said, "Big brother Lin Feng, with your strength, you can initiate betting fights and raise the stakes, that way you can earn more."
"No rush, let’s challenge a few more fights first!"
Lin Feng shook his head. After finishing speaking, he glanced at Huang Yao, the corner of his mouth hooked, smiling: "Elder Sister Huang, I didn’t disappoint you, did I?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Yao’s expression froze slightly, and she frowned slightly, saying, "Your strength is decent, you should have the capability to fight beyond your level, you’re not much worse than me!"
Lin Feng chuckled lightly, no longer engaging with her in conversation. He did not need to care about whether she looked down on him or not; his goal was to earn Spirit Stones.
A little while later, Lin Feng entered the arena again. This time his opponent was a Martial Master Fourth Layer Martial Artist; moreover, this person had already won two consecutive battles, his strength was quite formidable, and the bet was twenty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
"Hehe!"
Huang Yao, seeing Lin Feng daring to challenge beyond his level, suddenly giggled: "Sister Hong, Brother Lin Feng is really too impetuous, even daring to fight beyond his rank! It seems he is not only trying to earn Spirit Stones but also wants to show off in front of you."
Hong Qingxuan did not speak, only quietly watched Lin Feng who was approaching the arena.
In the canyon, Lin Feng descended, his gaze fixating on his opponent.
His opponent was a tall, strong young man, an axe in his right hand and a shield in his left, appearing exceedingly formidable.
"Are you Lin Feng?" the strong young man asked, frowning.
"Yes!" Lin Feng nodded.
"I heard you killed Zheng Renjie; your strength is indeed commendable!"
The strong young man’s expression became more solemn as he shouted, "However, my defense is unmatched among peers, unbeaten to this day, and you will be no different!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vigorous Origin surged around the tall young man, massive amounts of it infused into his shield. The black shield immediately shone with dazzling, flowing lights.
Simultaneously, the strong young man released his Star, a massive gray shield of high Earth Level Eighth Rank.
The huge shield Star, like a solid city wall, corresponded with the shield in the strong young man’s hand, their auras connected, increasing the defensive power significantly.
Knowing Lin Feng’s formidable strength and not to be underestimated, the tall young man immediately deployed his strongest defense.
"Is that so? Then I shall have a try," Lin Feng said with a light chuckle, his fist wrapped in Five-Colored Vigorous Origin, layers of golden Scale Armor slowly emerging.
Above the canyon, Huang Yao glanced at Hong Qingxuan, shaking her head and smiling, "Sister Hong, I’m afraid Lin Feng is going to lose this time!"
"Not necessarily!" Hong Qingxuan gently shook her head.
"Sister Hong, you might not be aware, Lin Feng’s opponent is no ordinary person; he is Lin Kun from Qitian Peak, a genius. Although his Attack Power is average, his defensive power is extremely strong. Not to mention Lin Feng is only a Martial Master Third Layer, even if someone had a Martial Master Fourth Layer Cultivation, they wouldn’t have any chance of winning!" Huang Yao added.
Hong Qingxuan glanced at Huang Yao faintly, she had already noticed Huang Yao’s disdain for Lin Feng, however, she did not elaborate further, as actions speak louder than words, and soon the others would see clearly for themselves.
Above the canyon, many people who knew Lin Feng’s identity also fixed their eyes on the Battle Platform where Lin Feng was, curious to see just how strong this new Inner Sect Disciple from Sky-reaching Peak really was!
On the Battle Platform.
"I’m making my move!" Lin Feng said lightly.
"Go ahead!" the strong young man shouted loudly; he had already shown his strongest defense, if Lin Feng’s strength wasn’t enough to shake his defense, next, he would unleash a storm-like attack on Lin Feng.
Thump!
Lin Feng forcefully stomped down, causing a muffled sound from the Battle Platform beneath him. The powerful rebounding force acting on him, he shot towards the strong young man like an arrow leaving the bow.
"One punch is enough!"
An indifferent voice came from Lin Feng, filled with invincible confidence.
The golden fist, wrapped in Five-Colored light, pierced through the air, heavily smashing out and striking instantaneously against the shield held in front of the strong young man.
Boom!
A loud explosion, earth-shaking, fierce Qi Force sweeping across all directions.
