Chapter 914: A Bone of Pride
Chapter 913: A Bone of Pride
Chang Jiyun’s laughter drew people from other courtyards around him, and then when they saw the challenge in Chang Jiyun’s hand, as well as Chen Fei in front of the courtyard, a hint of surprise appeared in their gazes.
Chen Fei’s appearance was something that no one in Tianhai Branch knew about nowadays.
Now looking at the situation of the two, Chen Fei was going to cross the ranks to challenge them?
“I still hope that you won’t be stingy with your advice!” Chen Fei arched his hand at Chang Jiyun.
“Your natural talent is very high, but since you want to use me as a stepping stone, then don’t blame me for being merciless when the time comes!”
Chang Jiyun put away the smile on his face and looked at Chen Fei with slightly narrowed eyes.
No one questioned the natural talent that Chen Fei had displayed, but Chen Fei was only at the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm today, while he, Chang Jiyun, was at the middle stage of the Sun Moon Realm, and was ranked in the 30th place of this realm in the Heavenly Sea Branch.
Crossing the rank challenge was easy to say, but no one had accomplished it yet in this session of the Qiankun Palace. Chen Fei looked promising, but it was just a look into the past.
Chang Ji Yun sneered and turned around to return to the middle of the courtyard.
There was no point in talking more at this moment, we would see the results on the martial arts arena three days later.
Daring to cross the ranks and targeting him, Chang Jiyun wanted others to understand how serious the consequences of doing so would be!
Chang Jiyun closed the courtyard door behind him, and with a gentle squeeze of his right hand, the challenge letter instantly turned into powder and slipped out of the cracks of Chang Jiyun’s hand.
Chang Jiyun raised his eyes to look ahead, everyone else felt that Chang Jiyun’s strength was ranked at the thirtieth place in the middle Sun and Moon realm of the Heavenly Sea Branch.
Four months ago, that was indeed the case.
However, only Chang Jiyun himself knew just how much he had progressed during this recent period within the Qiankun Mansion.
In a way, Chang Jiyun was somewhat similar to Chen Fei.
Not so much in terms of personality or anything like that, but in terms of background.
Chen Fei came from the Lower Realm Plane and could be said to have no background in Tian Hai City.
Although Chang Jiyun was a native of Tianhai City, the strongest in his family was only the peak of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and Chang Jiyun was the only one to break through to the Sun and Moon Realm.
And relying on his own perseverance, he also cultivated all the way to the mid Sun Moon Realm.
Chang Jiyun’s attitude towards cultivation was extremely ruthless.
This ruthlessness was not only directed at his enemies, but also at Chang Jiyun himself.
As long as it was a method that could increase his strength, no matter how tough it was, Chang Jiyun would try it.
Alone and proud, relying on such a disposition, Chang Jiyun had traveled to the present day.
And the opening of the Qiankun Mansion was a heavenly opportunity for all the Sun and Moon Realms of the Human Race, and the same was true for Chang Jiyun.
Because Chang Jiyun simply did not have any decent resources before, all things rely on themselves to fight.
And in the Qiankun Mansion, as long as one was upwardly mobile, one would truly be rewarded.
After these four months of cultivation, and receiving a sum of merit points during the rest month, Chang Jiyun’s strength had made great strides.
Chang Jiyun was confident that nowadays, if he were to challenge the tenth place of the middle Sun and Moon Realm of the Branch, Chang Jiyun would have a certain degree of certainty.
At this time, even choosing him as a challenge, then Chang Jiyun would really have to make Chen Fei understand that there were some things that were done that had a price to pay.
The matter of Chen Fei handing over a challenge to Chang Jiyun had spread throughout the entire Qiankun Mansion in less than an hour.
Crossing the ranks to challenge was actually not really news, after all, someone had already done it before.
But this matter involved Chen Fei, and that heat instantly raised.
The other people who had challenged oversteps, although they were also all celestial prides and very strong, they weren’t actually so strong as to be insurmountable.
But Chen Fei was different, Chen Fei let the number one of the same rank in the branch go up three, and was still able to beat them up violently, the sense of impact of this image still remained in their minds.
Thus, compared to others, Chen Fei’s success rate in crossing the ranks to challenge was there, and it was quite high.
However, there were quite a few people who felt that Chen Fei’s decision, slightly seemed to be in a hurry.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t challenge oversteps, but he could have waited a little longer.
Chen Fei had gained a large amount of performance points last time, and there were quite a few good people who had calculated that Chen Fei had harvested more than 5,000 performance points from that one challenge alone.
With such a huge amount of performance points, although no one knew what Chen Fei had actually exchanged in the end, it must have been a huge advancement for the growth of strength.
However, it had only been less than a month since then, and with such a huge amount of performance points, if one wanted to truly transform them into strength, this time was a bit too hasty.
It is entirely possible to wait another three or four months, settle down a bit, and then challenge, the success rate must be greatly increased.
Otherwise, if this challenge failed, not only would it not look good, but it would also have a huge impact on their own morale.
Morale, is a very wonderful thing.
There were even many feats that had the term of storing up momentum. Once it failed, there was a risk of losing the previous feat.
Chen Fei didn’t know if there were any feats that practiced such a technique, but failing more than once was ultimately not a good thing.
Early the next morning, Hua Zhi Cun sent someone to inform Chen Fei that regarding his challenge this time, Hua Zhi Cun had joined forces with the other branch academies and made a betting board once again.
When Chen Fei arrived at Hua Zhicun’s courtyard, there were already quite a few people here.
“Brother Hua, this gambling board of yours, the odds are too low, no matter if you bet on winning or losing, both sides give so little.” Someone looked at the betting board and said with some dissatisfaction. “It is not possible to see, so it is only possible to set up such a betting disk, you go to other places to see, the betting disk is all like this.” Hua Zhicun smiled and explained.
This sentence was an explanation to this person, as well as to the others in the courtyard.
Hua Zhicun nodded his head when he saw Chen Fei arrive, Chen Fei also nodded and smiled, then came to the gambling board.
Chen Fei sort of knew why some people weren’t very happy with this betting board, betting on the win, the odds were 80%.
In other words, betting ten performance points, in the end, even if one won, one could only win eight performance points. If one lost, the loss would be even worse.
As for betting on Chen Fei to lose, the odds were seventy percent, not much more than the winning side.
From the odds, Hua Zhicun, these peaks of the Sun Moon Realm, favored Chang Jiyun even more, even if the person who had crossed over to challenge was Chen Fei.
Or from other perspectives, Hua Zhicun, these people, had already been considered extremely cognizant of Chen Fei’s natural talent.
Anyone else who crossed the ranks to challenge him would not even consider the odds of winning to be that high.
The people in the courtyard looked at Chen Fei, wanting to know how many merit points Chen Fei would bet on himself in the end.
Betting on winning or losing, there was no need to consider this, Chen Fei would definitely bet on himself to win.
If Chen Fei bets on himself to lose, this betting board will immediately collapse, this is the suspicion of playing a fake match ah, then the other people will have to all bet on the losing side.
“I don’t have a lot of merit points on me, can I get credit this time?”
The odds of winning or losing are not high, but the performance points earned for nothing, don’t want it for nothing.
“Credit?”
Hua Zhicun frowned slightly, if it was anyone else, Hua Zhicun wouldn’t have hesitated and directly refused.
Just like the last time Chen Fei came and asked if he could get credit, Hua Zhicun refused, even though at that time, Chen Fei was the number one at the early stage of the Sun and Moon Realm of the Heavenly Sea Branch, he didn’t have too many privileges in Hua Zhicun’s eyes.
But nowadays, Chen Fei’s value was definitely different from before, and Hua Zhicun was interested in making friends with Chen Fei.
Even though Chen Fei was only at the early stage of the Sun Moon Realm now, while Hua Zhicun had already been at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm long ago, and there was a huge gap between the two realms.
“How many performance points do you want on credit?” Hua Zhicun thought for a moment and said.
“How much can I credit?” Upon hearing that Hua Zhicun didn’t refuse, Chen Fei’s eyes lit up slightly.
“Five hundred!” Hua Zhicun did some math and gave a figure.
Five hundred performance points was not a small amount, and both parties were after all non-relatives before.
The early stage of the Sun and Moon Realm would have to attend classes for a large portion of the year in order to save five hundred achievement points, and that was provided that they hadn’t been eliminated.
“Alright then, five hundred achievement points, plus these in my hand, all bet on myself to win.”
Chen Fei took out his jade card and handed it to Hua Zhicun.
Hua Zhicun took Chen Fei’s jade card, and originally thought that there would be at least thousands of performance points in it, but it turned out that there were only dozens of performance points when he scratched it.
Hua Zhicun looked at Chen Fei with some surprise, more than 5,000 performance points, a month’s time, even spent to only have some left?
What exactly had this Chen Fei exchanged in the treasury?
The Emperor’s fifth rank inheritance would definitely be exchanged, but it wouldn’t cost this many merit points.
Hua Zhicun didn’t ask more questions, the relationship between the two sides hadn’t reached that level yet. He lent out 500 performance points, counted them towards Chen Fei’s bet, and drew up a simple contract.
Chen Fei read the contract about borrowing five hundred performance points and agreed that once Chen Fei had extra performance points, he must return them to Hua Zhicun at the first opportunity.
“Many thanks!”
Signing the contract, Chen Fei arched his hand at Hua Zhicun, then turned to leave the courtyard.
“Brother Hua, you’re being unkind, he Chen Fei can get credit, why can’t we get credit.” Someone from the side snickered.
“If any of you can earn five thousand achievement points a day, I’m willing to lend you five hundred achievement points as well.” Hua Zhicun said with a faint smile.
It was human nature to look at people and place orders, and Hua Zhicun was no exception.
While the matter of the overstep challenge was still fermenting, Chen Fei was practicing and attending classes as usual.
During class, someone told Chen Fei that they had seen Chang Jiyun go to the treasure vault a few times and that his aura was fluctuating slightly.
For the Sun and Moon Realm to be able to be seen with a fluctuating breath, it was obvious that there had been a substantial increase in cultivation recently, and only then was a hint of abnormality seen.
Obviously, for Chen Fei’s challenge, Chang Jiyun wanted to respond with the strongest stance.
You, Chen Fei, are a heavenly pride, but now you are in the early Sun Moon Realm, so be honest and stay in the early Sun Moon Realm.
If you want to fight the middle Sun Moon Realm, wait until you break through to the middle Sun Moon Realm sometime!
Chen Fei returned from his class and saw two people waiting in front of the courtyard.
Pan Qingwu, Nie Shengyun, the two mid Sun Moon Realm people who had traveled to the Endless Sea to collect the dimensional origin.
When Pan Qingwu and the two men saw Chen Fei, both had smiles on their faces.
Half an hour later, Chen Fei sent the two Pan Qingwu people out of the courtyard, while in his hand, there was an additional ownerless jade token, which had 1,500 performance points recorded within it.
These fifteen hundred performance points could be used by whoever got them.
Explaining the misunderstanding and finally expressing his support for Chen Fei’s challenge tomorrow, these fifteen hundred performance points were the support!
