Chapter 605: Chapter 499: The Ultimate Bet
Lin Feng’s Fist Power was vast and boundless, incredibly powerful; even without exerting his full strength, it was not something an ordinary Heavenly Martial Master Fourth Layer martial artist could withstand.
Let alone the tall and sturdy young man who was but a Fourth Layer in cultivation, even a Sixth Layer Heavenly Martial Master would be instantly defeated.
The immense Fist Power slammed into the shield, and after a booming sound, the tall and sturdy young man’s figure was instantly sent flying backward, tracing a straight line of light, crashing into a rock wall in the canyon.
Boom!!
The rock wall cracked, and debris flew everywhere. The tall and sturdy young man was nowhere to be seen, completely blasted deep into the mountainside.
Hiss! Hiss!
Many who were watching this battle took a sharp intake of breath. Lin Kun, who was known for his strong defense, was actually blasted into the mountainside with a single punch.
Huang Yao’s eyes suddenly widened, her face full of disbelief as she stared at the crumbling rock wall.
One punch!
He settled it with a single punch!
Huang Yao’s delicate lips couldn’t help but twitch. After a moment, she turned to Hong Qingxuan, her tone slightly accusatory, "Junior Sister Hong, Lin Feng is so strong, why didn’t you tell us earlier?"
Huang Yao felt her cheeks heat up; her previous remarks had clearly underestimated Lin Feng, but now the strength Lin Feng displayed was like a resounding slap to her face, leaving her feeling somewhat embarrassed.
A mocking light appeared in Hong Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes. She had already made it clear that Lin Feng would win; it was the other side who had been disdainful, and now she was trying to shift the blame!
Upon seeing this, another blue-clad woman, Liu Xian, couldn’t help but shake her head. Although she didn’t know the specifics of Lin Feng’s strength, being taken so seriously by the always proud and aloof Hong Qingxuan, she could imagine that Lin Feng was no ordinary figure.
On the Battle Platform.
Having defeated the tall and sturdy young man with a single punch, Lin Feng was at a loss for words: "Is this what you call invincible defense? Hopefully, he’s not dead, right?"
Lin Feng gave a wry smile. He had just used a small portion of his strength, yet had blasted his opponent deep into the mountainside; such defensive power, and yet the man dared to claim invincible defense!
Moments later, the tall and sturdy young man burst through the debris, rushing out from the mountainside, pale-faced and bleeding from the mouth.
"I won, six thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!" Lin Feng said with a smile. The opponent’s bet was twenty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and his share was thirty percent, equivalent to six thousand.
The tall and sturdy young man, Lin Kun, looked upset. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng’s strength to far exceed his imagination; his seemingly invincible defense among peers was simply no match.
A bet is a bet. Afterwards, Lin Kun took out six thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stowed the Spirit Stones, inwardly exclaiming. In just a short while, he had earned nine thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, the equivalent of nine million Low Grade Spirit Stones. While the speed of making money was not as fast as robbery, it was nonetheless quite impressive!
After some consideration, Lin Feng didn’t return to the upper part of the canyon, deciding instead to initiate his own betting fight.
The stakes of betting fights initiated by others were still too small, and challengers could only win thirty percent. Although the speed of earning Spirit Stones was not slow, he needed far too many and must increase the stakes.
Then, Lin Feng looked up and surveyed the crowd on both sides of the canyon, and loudly declared, "I, Lin Feng of Sky-reaching Peak, hereby initiate a betting fight with a stake of a hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones. Anyone below the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Martial Master may come forward to fight!"
Lin Feng’s words spread in all directions, instantly causing a sensation.
"What? A bet of a hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones?"
"This... even Martial King-level fights rarely have such large bets. Is this person so confident?"
"So it turns out he’s a disciple of Sky-reaching Peak, indeed quite arrogant!"
Everyone was shocked by the bet Lin Feng had set; a hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones was a sum not many Heavenly Martial Master martial artists could afford.
Some who previously didn’t know of Lin Feng’s identity finally learned it; it turns out he was a genius from Sky-reaching Peak.
Atop the canyon, Huang Yao’s beautiful eyes went round with a flash of astonishment on her face.
"Lin Feng... is a Sky-reaching Peak disciple!" Huang Yao was shocked within. Sky-reaching Peak was known for its monstrous geniuses, and Lin Feng was actually one of them, which was completely beyond her expectations.
Huang Yao had a sudden realization, no wonder Hong Qingxuan was so amiable towards Lin Feng. This level of talent was something no woman could refuse!
"Go for it, brother Lin Feng! Your talent can shine as well in Heavenly Spirit Sect!" Hong Qingxuan stood at the edge of the canyon, the breeze lifting his locks of hair and her long skirt; she simply watched the young man on the Battle Platform quietly.
After Lin Feng spoke, he stood proudly on the Battle Platform, waiting for challengers to come forward.
The limit for his initiated betting fight was the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Martial Master, meaning the highest cultivation level of the challengers could only be on par with him.
Lin Feng did not set the cultivation limit too high, instead he adopted an approach of gradual progression—first earn some Spirit Stones within his own rank, and when no challengers from his rank remain, he would then relax the cultivation limits.
Otherwise, if he started with a very high cultivation limit, jumping two or three layers in battle, his strength would be fully exposed, and those of the same rank or slightly higher in cultivation wouldn’t dare to challenge him and he would earn much fewer Spirit Stones.
However, due to Lin Feng’s strong performance in his recent battle and the battle where he had slain Zheng Renjie, his formidable strength had already been revealed. After the bet was placed, for a full quarter of an hour, no one stepped forward to challenge him.
"Does no one dare to fight?" Lin Feng frowned slightly.
Just then, a burst of light laughter sounded from above the canyon, and a black figure descended swiftly.
