Wang Zhou hurriedly arrived at the Gambling Table, pulling out more than a hundred Medium-Grade Origin Stones from his pocket and placing them on the table. He eagerly said, "Quick, I bet on myself to win!" He rubbed his hands together, excitement written all over his face. Although his odds were one to ten, much lower than Wang Yi's, a tenfold return was still a significant windfall for him.
The crowd looked at Wang Zhou's actions as if he were a fool, each person wearing a smile that left Wang Zhou puzzled.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Wang Zhou scratched his head, feeling uncomfortable. "Why are you all just standing there? Hurry up and give me a receipt!"
Upon hearing this, one person immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Ah, yes..."
"Hahaha..."
Suddenly, the room erupted in laughter, sharp and piercing.
Wang Zhou wore a proud expression and laughed heartily, saying, "You guys winning money is all thanks to me." With that, he swaggered out.
"Is he crazy?"
"Who knows? He looks pretty sick to me."
Wang Yi bid farewell to Niu Meng and returned to the room. He took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and closed his eyes.
Warm sunlight streamed through the window, casting golden rays that enveloped him like a layer of gold.
He wasn't worried about tomorrow's match; it wasn't fake. Wang Zhou was an established strong player in the Outer Sect and had a reputation even at the fifth level. His strength ranked among the top of the Elite Disciples. However, what truly made people wary was his mastery of Pushing Cloud Palm and Crimson Sun Blade Technique, especially Pushing Cloud Palm, which had defeated several opponents of the same level. As for Crimson Sun Blade Technique, Wang Yi was no match for him; it was like trying to show off with a big knife in front of Guan Gong—foolish.
Now, what Wang Yi could rely on was precisely Pushing Cloud Palm. As for Nine Section Free Fighting and Winding Hand, Wang Zhou was likely just as skilled as he was. Meanwhile, Wang Yi had only just begun to grasp Crimson Sun Blade Technique and found it not very useful.
"I want to see whose Pushing Cloud Palm is stronger—yours or mine?" Wang Yi gritted his teeth and thought to himself.
The next day, as the sun rose in the east, a red line hung over Wolf Mountain's eastern side. The morning dew sparkled like pearls and jade.
At noon, the sun hung high above the treetops as Wang Yi walked toward the square.
The sky was clear without a cloud in sight; a gentle breeze stirred in the air, bringing a hint of coolness. The streets were bustling with people chatting amongst themselves.
"Ah, I really regret it. If I had known that Li Shixiong and Brother Chu were both betting on Wang Yi, I would have bet on Wang Yi too. This time, I've really lost big; my twenty Yuan Stones!"
"Don't mention it, I'm just like you. But I'm puzzled as to why Li Shixiong and Brother Chu are both betting on Wang Yi. Could it be that he can really challenge someone above his level?"
"I think Wang Yi should be able to defeat Wang Zhou; otherwise, why would he bet on himself to win? That's a whole thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones! If he loses, can he afford it?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, Wang Yi is coming from behind!"
"Brother Wang, congratulations on your victory! We all bet on your win," several ordinary disciples greeted warmly as Wang Yi approached.
"Thank you, fellow disciples," Wang Yun replied with a smile and cupped his fists. He thought to himself: "This competition may not be entirely bad; at least I can establish my reputation in the Outer Sect with this battle."
In the square, the Dueling Platform was surrounded by three opposing forces. Li Gang, Zhao Shanyu, and Chu Yixuan stood at the forefront. Each disciple who arrived at the square instinctively stood with their respective sects, whispering and discussing among themselves—some were happy, some regretful, and others unwilling to accept their fate.
Zhao Shanyu turned to Wang Zhou behind him and said, "Wang Shidi, this time it all depends on you. Don't let me down!"
Wang Zhou replied confidently, "Brother Zhao, rest assured. I know a bit about Wang Yi's abilities; they're nothing to worry about."
"Hmph, keep your confidence in check; don't let me down at the critical moment," Zhao Shanyu said coldly as he noticed Wang Zhou's overconfidence.
"Yes," Wang Zhou said, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He straightened his back despite his protruding belly and put away his smile, responding seriously.
"Hahaha." Zhao Shanyu's gaze swept across the area and suddenly landed on Wang Zhou's protruding belly. He burst into laughter and said, "It's time for you to lose some weight."
"Ah." Wang Zhou was taken aback and touched his smooth head, saying, "Right."
On the opposite side of the Dueling Platform, Li Gang heard the laughter and looked toward Zhao Shanyu's position. He called out loudly, "Zhao Shidi seems very happy; is there some good news?"
"What good news could there be? Just laughing at some people who don't know their limits," Zhao Shanyu replied casually.
"Is that so? Zhao Shidi, don't be careless; sometimes an inconspicuous rope can trip you up and leave you bruised and bloodied. It's better to be cautious!" Li Gang seemed quite worried about Zhao Shanyu, expressing his concern in his words.
"Thank you for your concern, Li Shixiong, but you should worry about yourself," Zhao Shanyu said with a cold smile, clearly ungrateful.
"Wang Yi has arrived."
A loud shout suddenly broke the conversation between the two. The bustling square fell silent as if the roaring waves had suddenly receded, and surprised, confused, excited, and cold gazes turned towards Wang Yi.
Wang Yi never dreamed he would become the center of attention. Previously, he was just an insignificant character, always at the mercy of others.
However, everything changed today. The eyes of the three factions were now on him, a level of attention he had never experienced before. Although some gazes were unfriendly, Wang Yi didn't care. What mattered to him was leaving his name in the Outer Sect, making sure all disciples knew that there once was a person named Wang Yi in the Outer Sect.
This was not pride; it was confidence.
This confidence stemmed from strength, allowing the previous weak Wang Yi, who only sought stability in cultivation, to disappear. Standing here now was an ambitious Wang Yi. He was greedy; in the past, he would never have dared to stand on this stage and compete with an Elite Disciple.
"Haha, Wang Shidi has arrived! Today you are the main character!" Chu Yixuan said enthusiastically, his laughter as warm as his gentle face, making people feel like they were basking in spring.
"Brother Chu, sorry to keep you waiting," Wang Yi said as he looked at Zhao Shanyu and smiled. "Can we start now?"
"Alright, since Wang Shidi can't wait any longer, let's begin," Zhao Shanyu replied with a fleeting glint in his eyes and a hearty laugh.
