Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1009: Pressure on Myself 3

In the following two days, Lu Chen didn't take the challenge seriously at all.

However, the news that he and Ji Yunnan were about to have a fight spread quickly in the lower cabin.

"Have you heard? It's that new old man who dared to accept Ji Yunnan's challenge."

A voice came from the end of the corridor at the bottom of the cabin.

"Hey... do you think that old man had any choice? It's really sad and lamentable. It's all because of his damn strength.

However, such challenges can add a lot of fun to this long journey.

By the way, have you placed a bet? I heard that Ji Yunnan’s odds are 1 to 1.2, while the old man’s odds are 1 to 50.

If the old man wins the bet, he will definitely earn a large sum of immortal crystals."

Another voice came again.

However, upon hearing this, the monk sneered and asked:

"Do you think it's possible? That old man is only in the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, while Ji Yunnan is a mid-stage Mysterious Immortal realm. How could he possibly win?

I bet that old man might not even last three breaths before he is defeated, and there is a high possibility that he might even lose his life. "

As soon as Lu Chen and Yunxi came out of the room, they heard such discussions.

After a few days of recovery, although Yunxi's injuries have not yet fully recovered, they have almost healed, and her face has become a little more rosy.

"Brother Lu, why don't you reject Ji Yunnan's challenge?"

Yunxi withdrew her gaze from the two monks at the end of the corridor and transmitted her thoughts with a worried look on her face.

Although Lu Chen had already explained the general course of events and repeatedly reassured Yunxi that he was confident.

But after hearing this, Yunxi still couldn't let go.

"Let's go. Trust me."

Lu Chen didn't say much, but his simple sentence revealed his immense confidence.

Then the two of them walked through the passage and came to a special area in the middle of the lower cabin.

This place is different from other places. Due to the space formation, this room appears unusually spacious, and the overall space is no less than a large gymnasium.

The surrounding walls were inlaid with countless crystals emitting soft light, illuminating the entire environment around the arena.

The ground was paved with green jade, each piece of which had been carefully polished, smooth and flat, gleaming with a faint luster even in the dim light.

Several huge luminous stones are suspended above the high dome, emitting gentle and non-glaring light, illuminating the entire venue like daylight.

The arena is located in the center of the room and is made of a mysterious material.

The surface is engraved with ancient runes, which faintly exude a mysterious aura, as if ready to activate some powerful defense mechanism at any time.

When Lu Chen and Yun Xi stepped into the arena, the already noisy crowd suddenly became noisier.

Immediately, whispers and harsh mocking discussions were heard all around.

"Oh, this old man really dares to come here, isn't he afraid of death?"

Someone in the crowd shouted first, followed by a chorus of voices echoing him.

At this time, a burly monk stared at Lu Chen with a joking look on his face and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Hey, old man, I'm afraid your old bones can't stand the torture, right?

If you are not careful and get killed on the spot by Master Ji, what will happen to your beautiful granddaughter?

Do you need me to show mercy and take care of you?"

After saying this, a malicious look flashed in his triangular eyes, which made people feel disgusted.

"Ha ha ha ha......"

As soon as the monk finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter around him.

Everyone was laughing so hard that they were bent over, and some people even held their stomachs and couldn't straighten up.

Others who liked to watch the fun also joined in the commotion, and for a while the whole scene was in chaos.

Some people with ulterior motives did not hide their greedy and obscene gazes at Yunxi beside Lu Chen unscrupulously, as if she had become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Faced with so much malice and ridicule, Lu Chen clenched his fists tightly, his face terribly gloomy, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and did not flare up.

Yunxi, who was standing by, bit her lips tightly, her body trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she was also extremely angry.

However, Lu Chen did not stop because of the discussions around him. He walked straight to the right side of the ring.

There, there was a window specifically for placing bets, and quite a few monks had gathered in front of the window.

They either excitedly discussed the possible outcomes or wandered around in indecision.

The steward in charge of registering bets was sitting behind an old wooden table with several storage bags in front of him, inside which were jade slips used to record information.

Lu Chen walked to the window, took out a storage bag from the storage ring, and gently placed it on the table.

Seeing this, a steward behind the window asked habitually without even raising his head:

"Who are you going to pressure? How much?"

As he spoke, he prepared to take out two jade slips with information engraved on them.

"I'll bet against Lu Chen, 30,000 low-grade immortal crystals."

Lu Chen's voice was steady and firm, as if he had already known the outcome.

He thought, "According to the odds, if I win, that would be 1.5 million low-grade immortal crystals, and I can make a lot of money again."

However, when the steward heard this, he immediately raised his head and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because very few cultivators would bet on Lu Chen to win, otherwise the odds wouldn't be so high.

However, out of professional ethics, the manager quickly regained his composure, but the curiosity in his eyes could not be concealed.

However, as soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, there was a sound of people inhaling all around.

Such a high stakes is not common here, especially when the stakes are on oneself.

This requires not only great self-confidence, but also immense trust in one's own abilities.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

The steward asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

After all, such a bet is basically a waste of money for Lu Chen.

"determine."

Lu Chen nodded, without any hesitation in his tone.

After hearing this, the manager didn't say anything more. He had no reason to refuse such a sure-win deal.

He then carved the information on two jade slips, handed one of them to Lu Chen, and used the other as a stub.

However, Lu Chen's actions attracted the attention of the surrounding monks, especially those who were originally preparing to place a bet.

They gathered around in groups of three or five, with curiosity and disdain in their eyes.

A young monk wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe and holding a folding fan spoke first, his tone full of sarcasm:

"Old man! You are such a gambler! You are betting so much on yourself. Do you still have any illusions that you can win? It's really ridiculous."

"That's right. Ji Yunnan is a mid-stage Xuanxian cultivator. He is not an easy target to deal with. Many masters have failed to walk off the stage alive under his control.

You might as well give the Immortal Crystal to your granddaughter, but it’s too late to say anything now.”

An old man next to him also echoed.

These discussions came one after another, interweaving into a noisy sound in Lu Chen's ears...
