Chapter 931: Blank
The slap made Wu Feng exceptionally angry.
How proud and haughty was his character?
He was similar to a peac.o.c.k with its feathers open. How can he endure being slapped in front of everyone in Martial Mountain City?
The person who slapped him happens to be the sect leader of the Spirit Gathering Sect, so there was nothing he could do on that end.
He could only direct his hate at Luo Tian.
He wanted Luo Tian dead. He wanted Luo Tian to kneel in front of him so that he could give him a few hundred slaps. Luo Tian will then have to kowtow and call him daddy!
But he didn’t want to do this below the stage.
He wanted to take back his dignity on the stage. He wanted to take back a hundred times his dignity in front of the whole city. Only then can he wash away the shame he experienced just now. Only then will the people of Martial Mountain City remember his name – Wu Feng!
Once Wu Feng said that, w.a.n.g Huan immediately stopped his charge. He then said with appreciation, “Good! Wash the stage with his blood! Except… he isn’t a disciple of any sect. This year’s newcomer compet.i.tion…”
Before w.a.n.g Huan finished explaining, Bai Xuan coldly sneered. He looked at Dongfang Shuo up in the Gambling Pavilion and said, “Since the Gambling Pavilion has this kid’s odds, then he has the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. Newcomer compet.i.tion naturally means all the new people who have just entered the Ancient World.”
“As for who he’s going to represent?”
Bai Xuan looked around and swept his gaze at the leaders of the other twelve sects.
At this time, those sect leaders instantly looked away, afraid that Bai Xuan would place Luo Tian in their sect. On the surface, there wasn’t any problem with it. But Luo Tian was a hot potato that would cause any sect to be suppressed if he was a part of them.
They felt that even if Bai Xuan declares it, they still won’t accept Luo Tian.
At this time, Yao Hai whispered, “Sect Leader, how about we…”
The sect leader of Heavenly Plume Sect softly shouted, “No! You should know his dantian is shattered, so cultivating is already a big problem for him. Once he gets on the stage, he will be smashed flying in one move, and our Heavenly Plume Sect will lose a lot of face. I’m warning you. You are not allowed to talk about him joining Heavenly Plume Sect ever again.”
Yao Hai clenched his teeth and replied, “Understood.”
He couldn’t help Lou Tian, but he had a feeling that there was something unusual for Luo Tian to come back. He wasn’t an idiot, so why would he fight a battle without any confidence in winning?
Luo Tian understood no one was willing to take him in as a disciple, so he said, “Can I not partic.i.p.ate? I will forfeit.”
Bai Xuan sneered before shouting, “You have to partic.i.p.ate, and you can’t forfeit either! The Newcomer Compet.i.tion doesn’t have a rule allowing a person to forfeit. Moreover, my Bai family is the one that sets the rules for the compet.i.tion, so what I say will count. I have spoken my words that you must partic.i.p.ate, so you have to partic.i.p.ate and not be allowed to forfeit!”
Luo Tian then said, “Are you saying you want me to die on the stage, huh?”
Bai Xuan replied, “That’s right. I guess you aren’t that dumb after all. What I’m saying is that you have to die on the stage. I gave you a chance to spare your life but a dog thing like you didn’t know how to cherish it. Now, there’s nothing you can do but partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion.”
He tried to interfere previously, but Luo Tian didn’t give him any face.
This made Bai Xuan extremely annoyed.
Who was he?
He was the Bai family’s steward! His status was right up there with the Elders! Within Martial Mountain City, his words were the law! Who would dare not comply?
He was used to getting whatever he wanted in Martial Mountain City and never expected Luo Tian would not give him a little bit of face at all. And Luo Tian did this in front of so many people, which completely damaged his dignity. When Wu Feng said that he wanted to torture Luo Tian on the stage, he was extremely delighted at how intelligent Wu Feng was. Of course, he had to facilitate this matter!
Luo Tian was very clear on what would happen here. And he had fully prepared the moment he stepped out of the Martial Mountain Range.
Since they had to fight, then he might as well fight to his heart’s content!
Wu Feng wanted to kill him on the stage?
And make him call Wu Feng daddy?
Then go ahead and do it! Since you haven’t had enough of being humiliated, I will humiliate you once more!
Why would someone not slap your face when you stick it out in front of them?
Luo Tian had to hit it! And he would viciously slap it until his mother wouldn’t even recognize him!
Luo Tian immediately grinned and said, “Since that’s the way you want it, then I will represent myself and not belong to any sect.”
As his voice faded, all the people in the crowd were in an uproar.
“Hahaha…”
“What an arrogant tone!”
“He actually dared to say such words? Represent himself? Does that mean he wants to fight all thirteen sects’ disciples?”
“This kid must be feeling tired of living.”
“Was there even a doubt? After offending Wu Feng and the Spirit Gathering Sect, he goes off to offend the Bai family as well. Even if he changes his mind and doesn’t want to die, it would be very difficult. Now, we will see how he’s going to die. By encountering Wu Feng or someone else?”
At the betting window, Ah Si had an excited look on his face. He looked at Luo Tian off in the distance and started mocking, “A piece of trash with a shattered dantian and zero talent dares to speak such words? Don’t say I’m not giving you guys any advice – just buy this kid’s opponent winning when he gets on the stage, and you will definitely win. The kid is going to die a very ugly death.”
“What if his opponent loses?”
“Loses? I will compensate you! How can this kind of trash win? Unless a mute can talk!” Ah Si had a smug expression as he was a hundred percent confident that Luo Tian would be smashed flying the moment he appeared. Out of several thousand disciples, they all had low talent, but they were still much better than Luo Tian. Even if Luo Tian worked himself to death, he still wouldn’t be a match for those low talent disciples. This was the gap in talent, which cannot be bridged in such little time.
Therefore, Luo Tian was definitely going to lose!
At this moment, all the people surged toward the betting window.
“I want to buy Luo Tian losing. Lose every single round. I’m betting 100 xuan coins on it. This is my mother’s coffin money I stole from the house, but I’m going to profit big time now!”
“I want to bet 80 xuan coins!”
“I want to bet 60 xuan coins!”
Who wouldn’t bet on a fight that was a sure win?
Even an idiot wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by.
Even Ah Si threw in his entire life savings. He knew Luo Tian would lose without a doubt, so he had to earn a big profit. He started laughing, “Follow this Lord Si and let’s make money together!”
At the top of the Gambling Pavilion, Dongfang Shuo was furrowing his brow.
He never expected Bai Xuan would force Luo Tian to partic.i.p.ate in the Newcomers Compet.i.tion. He couldn’t intervene in the matters of Martial Mountain City because this was a rule of the Dongfang family. For this to happen now…
At this time, the steward of the Gambling Pavilion came into the room with an ugly look on his face. “Young master, we cannot handle this if it continues.”
Everyone in Martial Mountain City knew Luo Tian had a shattered dantian.
If he goes up to compete, he will definitely lose!
The Gambling Pavilion will probably be dragged down into a pit of fiery flames.
Even though the Dongfang family didn’t care about this little bit of money, they here… A single Gambling Pavilion in Martial Mountain City is unable to bring out this much money. The reputation of the Dongfang family will definitely be affected if he isn’t able to pay the compensation. They will certainly blame Dongfang Shuo for doing a bad job, and his plans to return to the family’s headquarters would become impossible.
How could Dongfang Shuo not understand this?
But the family rules were something he could not break, or else returning to the family’s headquarters would be even more impossible.
Dongfang Shuo’s brows relaxed as he faintly smiled, “Since I’m already put into such a situation, it no longer matters whether I can go back or not. We will accept all the bets no matter how much they are. After all, the money being compensated isn’t coming out of my pocket.”
The old man’s expression became anxious, “But young master…”
Dongfang Shuo cut him off, “There’s no need to speak about it anymore. Go ahead with your work.”
