Chapter 994 – Points of Inquiry
After the judge declared the winner of the match, the spectators under the stage did not come back to their senses for a long time, and some of them could not even believe the result of this match.
“How is it possible? I didn’t see it wrong, did I, Corrupt Grudge actually lost?”
It was true that Rot Grudge was unpopular as a Rot Swamp Clan, but his strength as the best amongst fighters of the same level was here, so many people had placed heavy bets on him, betting that he could be the winner of this bout.
As a result, it had only been a short while, and the Rotting Grudge had actually lost, and lost so completely.
Someone calmly analyzed, “That Xu Chuniang, although she is a newcomer, has her have superiority, the Speech Spirit is a mysterious and powerful divine ability that is extremely difficult to master, and in the previous fight, she really did hide her strength!”
“Surprisingly, it’s the power of speech spirit, this kind of divine ability is too terrifying, it can use words to communicate heaven and earth’s dao, and it’s unfavorable, but I’ve heard that she’s from the human race rather than the speech spirit race, could it be that the news is wrong?”
“Xu Chuniang is indeed of the Human Race without a doubt, as to why she can master the Speech Spirit Technique, that is unknown, but the more refined one’s comprehension of the Dao, the more divine abilities one is able to comprehend, her understanding of the Dao is definitely far superior to that of the next person!”
What the onlookers could think of, Gong Lao, as an Earth Immortal, could naturally think of as well, and he was both surprised and chagrined.
Surprised that Xu Chuniang’s strength was far above what he had imagined, and chagrined that he hadn’t even placed any bets for this match!
It was a loss, a huge loss!
Gong Lao’s bowels were green with remorse. Had he known that this would be the outcome, he would have spent a huge amount of money on Xu Chuniang’s body.
The odds were one to two, and according to the highest bet, in just a moment, he had lost a full twenty thousand Immortal Crystals!
Gong Lao’s eyes went black, and he was a bit breathless, this was twenty thousand ah!
He, an Earth Immortal, couldn’t even earn that many Immortal Crystals after a year of hard work.
He was obviously very optimistic about girl Xu, before the official start of the competition, she even said that she was very sure, blunder, blunder ah!
Gong Lao covered his heart and comforted himself that the days to come would be long and there would be many more opportunities in the future before he barely suppressed the remorse in his heart and searched for Xu Chuniang’s figure within the fighting arena.
However, after the fight ended, Xu Chuniang jumped off the ring early and left the arena through a special passage in the arena.
Elder Gong scanned several circles, searching in vain, so he could only take out his identity token with the intention of sending a message to ask where she was.
Before he had time to send a message, he received a message from Xu Chuniang inviting him to come to the mansion.
Gong Lao put away the token, left the arena, followed Xu Chuniang’s guidance, and indeed entered the backyard unhindered all the way to the entrance of a spacious mansion.
The courtyard door opened in response, and Xu Chuniang’s slightly smiling voice came out from inside, “Gong Lao came quite quickly.”
Gong Lao snorted coldly and stepped into the courtyard, his tone still somewhat complaining, “Girl Xu, you’ve hidden so much pain from me!”
Xu Chuniang lost her smile, “Gong Lao why did you say that, earlier you asked me if I could be sure of this battle, didn’t I let you rest assured?”
Gong Lao pounded his feet and chest, chagrin written all over his face.
“The word assured alone, how can I be assured? After all, I don’t know your true strength, if I had known that you had comprehended the Law of Speech Spirit, I wouldn’t have pressed a single penny!”
Xu Chuniang lightly laughed and shook her head, taking the initiative to pour Gong Lao a cup of tea, “What’s the rush, as long as I’m still in the arena, there will be all sorts of fights waiting for me, there will be many more chances to earn Immortal Crystals in the future!”
Gong Lao finally calmed down, sat down opposite Xu Chuniang, took the tea she handed over and drank it in one gulp.
“That’s true, the Corrupted Grudge is a difficult Corrupted Swamp Race, and with a cultivation of the Human Immortal Middle Realm, it’s one small realm higher than you, if you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, even if you told me that you’re 10/10ths of a percent sure that you’ll win, I wouldn’t necessarily believe it to the best of my ability.” “It’s good that Elder Gong understands.”
“But after this fight, the arena will definitely reassess your strength, and perhaps adjust your odds down again.”
The smile on Xu Chuniang’s face faded a bit, “I understand, but no matter what the odds given by the arena are, as long as I win, I’ll make a solid profit.”
Hearing the confidence in her tone, the speculation in Gong Lao’s heart grew a few more points.
He sighed in his heart, Xu Chunliao is really a deep hide, in vain, he thought that she would not be able to adapt to entering the arena, but now it seems that she is simply like a fish out of water!
According to this momentum, Xu Chuniang’s reputation would rise sooner or later, and it wouldn’t be long before she would be favored and recruited by those big powers.
Gong Lao’s eyes narrowed slightly, determined to give her a few pointers, so that she wouldn’t unknowingly offend certain people in the future.
Xu Chuniang’s strength was certainly very strong, but the realm was a hard wound, and she wasn’t without a soft underbelly, if Xiao Bai fell into the hands of others, it would be enough for her to drink a pot of water.
“Do you know what great powers are in the Lower Three Heavens?”
Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred, vaguely guessing what Elder Gong would say next.
“When I first ascended, I had heard the Receiving Immortal Envoy mention that most of the Immortal veins and cultivation resources in the Lower Mountain Heavy Heavens were controlled by the Celestial Immortals in the Third Heavy Heavens, and that there were more than a dozen of long-established Celestial Immortals alone.”
Elder Gong nodded, “That’s right, all the major powers in the Lower Mountain Heavy Heaven have the backing of the Heavenly Immortal powerhouses in the Third Heavy Heaven, and these Heavenly Immortal powerhouses, in turn, each represent a different Immortal King.
Immortal King level powerhouses are too far away from us to have to consider this, but with your and my cultivation and strength, even if they are Heavenly Immortal powerhouses, they should never be messed with or offended.”
“Elder Gong don’t worry, I know what’s in my heart, but those Heavenly Immortal powerhouses reside in the Triple Heavens, even if I wanted to mess with them, I wouldn’t be able to do so, right?”
“That’s the point I want to make to you, although those Heavenly Immortal powerhouses reside in the Three Heavens, their ears and eyes are spread throughout the entire Lower Three Heavens, which naturally includes Zongdang Heaven.
For example, the true owner of the fighting arena you’re in right now is none other than a certain Heavenly Immortal in the Three Heavens.”
“I see.”
Xu Chuniang realized in her heart that although the Heavenly Immortals were far away in the Three Heavens, since Zongdou Heaven and Changjing Heaven had their properties, they naturally needed manpower to look after them.
Seeing that Xu Chuniang had comprehended her meaning, Elder Gong continued.
“While these people help the Heavenly Immortal powerhouses take care of their properties, they also have the ability to recommend them, and once they find a good seedling with strength and potential, they will report it to the upper peak.”
Xu Chuniang thought of what Chang Qing, who had guided her when she had just ascended, had said, he said that compared to the Immortal Realm’s aborigines, ascended people were extraordinarily popular.
“What Elder Gong means is that I might be favored by certain great powers?”
Elder Gong shook his head, a look of gravity in his eyes.
“It’s not possible, it’s a certainty, your strength is very outstanding even amongst the Ascended Ones, it’s likely that you’ve already been targeted by certain people, it’s just that they haven’t had the time to pick it out on you for the time being.”
