In the past, Zhou Hongyong would have been furious when faced with Zhao Jiuge's provocative words, but not this time. His face was calm without any waves. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, "Zhao Jiuge, don't be so stubborn every time, you Do you think you can be arrogant now that you have broken through to the realm of spiritual elixirs? When I, Zhou Hongyong, condensed the elixirs, you hadn’t even entered the Xuantian Sword Sect, and you were still playing in the mud.”
There is no strange emotion mixed in every word, but the words spoken are filled with an unparalleled arrogance!
Although Zhou Hongyong concealed it well on the surface, Zhao Jiuge still saw a hint of coldness in his eyes. Zhao Jiuge was not surprised at all about the revelation that he had broken through to the spiritual elixir realm. Some people may not be able to tell, but Zhou Hongyong himself As Du Jun's apprentice, this should still be possible.
Leng Rufeng and Luo Xie were a little surprised. They didn't expect Zhao Jiuge to break through to the spiritual elixir realm and condense the elixir so quickly. After all, they hadn't seen each other for half a year.
As for others, they are not surprised. Two-thirds of the people in the venue have already condensed the elixir, and some of them will go out to practice one after another in the near future.
And Fang Qiwen is just the best among them. If Zhou Hongyong hadn't devoted himself to throwing down the formation, he should have gone out to practice at this time.
"Hey, am I arrogant? I can't compare with you, but even if I am arrogant, what can you do to me? If you are not convinced, come and try what will happen after I break through to the spiritual elixir realm!" Zhao Jiuge laughed angrily, with an imposing manner. No concessions at all.
This time, Zhou Hongyong was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhao Jiuge would come to his door. He came here just to provoke and prepare to take the opportunity to use Zhao Jiuge's status as a disciple of the headmaster to force Zhao Jiuge to spar with him. , now there is no need to speak at all, Zhou Hongyong looked a little dull for a while.
Fang Qiwen on the side saw that Zhou Hongyong didn't respond for a while, so he quickly spoke up and smiled softly, "You are indeed a disciple of the master, he is courageous."
Zhao Jiuge looked at Fang Qiwen deeply and did not answer. This person gave him a slight sense of oppression and a sense of danger.
The crowd around them saw that the two finally broke up and wanted to have a big fight. Those who were gloating about the misfortune were already cheering.
Many people are not optimistic about Zhao Jiuge. Although Zhao Jiuge has a special status, he has been in the industry for a short time and his strength is still shallow. Moreover, compared to Zhao Jiuge, who had just condensed the elixir, Zhou Hongyong had condensed the elixir several years earlier than Zhao Jiuge. What's more, he had been studying formations for a long time, and his formation methods were already superb.
For a time, most people were already waiting to see Zhao Jiuge being tortured.
Fang Qiwen and Zhou Hongyong, who rely on the formation, can be regarded as the top masters among this group of inner disciples who are still in the sect. Some people had gotten to know them and were already on their side before it even started. Only a small group of people watched the excitement without caring about themselves.
The only exceptions were the dozens of people who entered the inner gate with Zhao Jiuge, but including Rob Wen, they all watched silently without making a sound or expressing anything.
But among the crowd, there was a young girl with furrowed eyebrows, carefully watching the situation and developments in the field. Surrounded by her were dozens of Xuantian Peak's inner disciples, but except for the leading girl, who was wearing Green floral skirts, the rest of the people are all wearing blue sword robes, and no one is a direct disciple.
Fang Qiwen's words made Zhou Hongyong react immediately, and he quickly said, "Okay, it just so happens that we are here today, so many of our fellow disciples are here, and they can be witnesses for us. Why don't we just play bigger and go directly to the gambling fight?" On the field, each person pays 10,000 gates as tribute, and is willing to admit defeat."
Zhao Jiuge, who is in the gambling arena, knows that it is only available to the inner sect. Disciples who have conflicts usually go to the gambling arena to resolve personal grievances. They are not allowed to kill anyone. At the same time, they bring some tribute or items. If they lose, the items will naturally belong to the other party. This gambling arena can be said to be the favorite of the inner sect disciples. In this place, they often use their strength to win Mengong, so that sometimes there is no grudge between the two, because Mengong will also compare.
Wow…
As soon as Zhou Hongyong's words came out, it immediately aroused a wave of excitement in the surrounding crowd, and various voices suddenly resounded.
"This Zhou Hongyong is too shameless. Forget about fighting, he still wants to bet Zhao Jiuge on 10,000 points of contribution. Don't you understand that he should rely on his strength to rob."
"Yeah, it's okay for two people to have a grudge and compete with each other. If you lose, you can't blame anyone because your skills are inferior to others. But it would be a bit shameless for Hongyong to make a bet this week."
Listening to the voices around him cursing him, Zhou Hongyong acted as if he hadn't heard anything and smiled, waiting for Zhao Jiuge's answer. He was confident that he would win no matter what today, and even if he won, Zhao Jiuge would not be able to step down, leaving Xuan Tian Feng lost all face.
Zhao Jiuge didn't say anything for a while, but weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Luo Xie and Leng Rufeng stood aside a little anxious, but they couldn't help much with their strength.
For a moment, everyone around them also focused their attention on Zhao Jiuge, the disciple who had been in the limelight recently and taught Jian Wuxin, wanting to see what kind of reaction he would have at this moment.
"Why, as a disciple of the headmaster, I don't dare to do it now. I just praised you for your courage, but now you are afraid of standing still. If you don't dare to admit your mistake here, just leave."
Fang Qiwen's voice sounded after waiting for a while, and every word was heart-breaking. Not only did he use provocation, but he also deliberately humiliated him. If so many people admit their mistakes, how can Zhao Jiuge and his master Jian Wuxin look down on them? Fang Qiwen did this deliberately in order to force Zhao Jiuge to agree.
"Hmph, Fang Qiwen, Zhou Hongyong, are you two interesting? You are both old disciples, and you are bullying a new disciple."
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the crowd, and then the girl in a green floral skirt walked out of the crowd and came to Zhao Jiuge's side.
The girl is not very old, about 20 years old, similar to Zhao Jiuge, with an oval face, not a trace of powder, and a delicate appearance. Although it is not as good as some of the stunning women Zhao Jiuge has seen, she has a different flavor because of her petite figure.
"Senior Sister Jiulian." Seeing the person coming, Zhao Jiuge immediately shouted with some respect. He did not expect that Senior Sister Jiulian would step forward.
This Senior Sister Jiulian is also from the Xuantian Peak lineage and is a disciple of an elder. Although they are also direct disciples, their status is much lower. After all, the status of the disciples of the headmaster and headmaster is the most precious, because they may inherit the position of their master in the future.
And this Jiulian and Fang Qiwen can be regarded as the two equals here, and it is time to go out for training soon. Those with advanced cultivation levels have already gone out to practice. Among the remaining ones, the highest ones are Fang Qiwen in the late stage of spiritual elixir realm, and Jiulian in the middle stage of spiritual elixir realm. There are also a few people similar to them.
Seeing Zhao Jiuge calling him, Jiulian smiled slightly, nodded, and called softly, "Junior Brother Jiuge."
Fang Qiwen on the side frowned unkindly, then raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Jiulian, what do you have to do here? This is a conflict between two people, why are you meddling in it."
"I can't stand it. What's the matter? Are you not convinced and your hands are itchy? Let's have a discussion?" Jiulian shouted angrily, and the part of his chest that could be held by one hand was rising and falling slightly because of his anger.
Before Jiulian could finish her sentence, and when she was about to continue talking, Zhao Jiuge had a smile on his face, gently pulled Senior Sister Jiulian's arm, and gently shook his head, "It's okay, Senior Sister Jiulian." , I can solve it, no matter what, we can’t lose our Xuantian Peak’s face, right?”
Hearing this, there was still some hesitation on Jiulian's face, but after listening to these words and looking at the determined look on Zhao Jiuge's cheerful face, the hesitation in her heart changed, and then she nodded gently. He nodded and said worriedly, "Then be careful."
Fang Qiwen on the side stared at this scene angrily. If he hadn't been afraid of delaying Zhou Hongyong's good deeds, he would have taught this little girl a lesson.
Then Fang Qiwen glanced at Zhao Jiuge again, thinking that if you, boy, are flirting with other women now, you will cry later.
Zhao Jiuge ignored the looks of so many people around him. Now he could control his momentum very well. He said in a solemn voice to Zhou Hongyong, "I don't have that many tributes. Four thousand contributions, plus five thousand How about a spirit stone?"
Because the last time I refined the Purple Extreme Hybrid Thunder Armor, I spent almost 6,000 Mengong points to purchase those auxiliary materials, so I still have more than 4,000 Mengong points left on me. The spiritual stones I obtained from Han Songcheng, as I condensed the When the three gold-patterned dragons disappeared, there were only more than 5,000 left.
This move can be described as a huge gamble. What made Zhao Jiuge determined to accept the bet were the words of his master and senior sister, as well as his own thoughts.
Just like what the master sister said, he now not only represents himself, but also the entire Xuantian Peak!
Moreover, when he first asked about his heart and attained enlightenment, he had said that what he wanted in practicing swordsmanship was to have a clear conscience and to cut off all injustices ahead. If someone is timid because of a little setback, how can he still be here? On this road to the end
"Okay, it's settled, let's go to the fighting arena now!" An imperceptible smile flashed across Zhou Hongyong's eyes. Zhao Jiuge really took the bait. This time he will lose all his money and face. leave.
This smile was clearly seen by Zhao Jiuge. The corners of his mouth raised a slight arc and he sneered in his heart. Although Zhou Hongyong was a bit tricky, he was not weak now. It was really not certain who would win and who would lose.
Besides, I happen to be short of tribute and spirit stones. It would be great if I win. It just so happens that I still owe a lot of tribute to the Treasure Pavilion. I just don’t know that my senior sister is going to the Treasure Pavilion to refine the natal flying weapon for me. How much tribute is needed for the materials the sword holds
When the two people finished speaking and confirmed the gambling fight, the atmosphere of the surrounding crowd had reached its highest point. Those who were afraid of the world's chaos had already left with flying swords, notifying their friends to come and watch the fun, and others He had already left first, heading towards the gambling arena.
Jiulian sighed softly, with some worry in her dark eyes, but she did not say anything more, after all, the matter was settled.
Everyone around them was smiling, as if they were the ones who would be on stage later. They were very excited. Only Leng Rufeng and Luo Xie had sad faces. Although they had just learned that Zhao Jiuge had broken through to the spiritual elixir realm, they still couldn't bear it. He was worried about his brother.
Only Zhao Jiuge was filled with excitement and his eyes were full of fighting spirit. The result will naturally be revealed later on who can win.
