Chapter 252: The Great Plan to Earn A Large Sum
Ling Chuxi was also a little shocked. Baili Han had actually achieved this level of cultivation already? Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body! Ling Chuxi thought back to when she had first met such mighty, shocking lightning. What she experienced back then wasn’t Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body, but it had already been terrifying enough. If one was struck by lightning from the Ninth Heavens, how strong would that be? When the time comes, could she withstand it?
So, to say, Baili Han was a true expert! An expert who stood with a huge gap between him and themselves!
Ling Chuxi was worried about this. She did not know that many people who could even successfully breakthrough to Battle Qi Level 9. To rephrase it, many other people did not even have the qualifications to worry about such a matter.
“Big Brother Fu, this, is this really possible? It is written here that he is only nineteen,” shouted Xia Zhuoyi in disbelief as he looked at the book in Ling Chuxi’s hand.
“Of course, it is all merely hearsay,” said Fu Chengyu seriously before he hesitatingly continued, “However, since Feng Yan Union had made such a ranking, there should be some basis to it.”
“Hmph, when Chuxi breaks through, she’ll definitely be younger than him. He’s already nineteen. Hey, Ling Chuxi, you also should quickly experience Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body. It’s best that you go through it this year, then you’ll be famous. Ha! Experiencing Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body at only sixteen years old! Sixteen years old! Imagine that!” exclaimed Lan Xinyu as she got more and more excited the more she talked about the matter, to the point where she had even started formulating a plan. She looked even more excited about this than she was talking about her own undergoing of Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body one day.
“Since Feng Yan Union arranged it like this, then it should be true,” said Ling Chuxi as she frowned slightly and bit the bottom of her lip as she thought about it. “So, Feng Yan Union thinks that he is the person who is most likely to win first place,” surmised Ling Chuxi as she continued to flip through the book. She did not recognize the few people who were listed before her as she had never met them. The information in the book clearly stated who they were—Other students from other academies and talented newbies from certain family clans.
Ling Yichen was ranked twenty-seventh. Lan Xinyu was also ranked in the book at thirty-ninth. Xia Zhuoyi was not ranked in the book. As for E Shulan, she was ranked ninth, only one place behind Ling Chuxi.
After Fu Chengyu saw Ling Chuxi looking at E Shulan’s information, he worriedly said, “The people from Feng Yan Union told me that this ranking was done before E Shulan obtained her current weapon. However, after obtaining such a good and peerless weapon, she should be ranked in front of you. But since the books were already printed, they were not able to make any changes to it.”
“Because Senior Brother had spent money to buy the information regarding E Shulan’s weapon, Feng Yan Union included this piece of information for free,” added on Ling Yichen from the side.
Ling Chuxi lowered her head and no longer spoke. Her eyes were dim, and it was unknown what she was thinking. Ling Yichen and the rest thought that Ling Chuxi was worrying about how to deal with E Shulan’s weapon when she met E Shulan, so they spoke up to comfort her.
“Chuxi, why don’t I try to procure a good weapon for you as soon as possible?” asked Fu Chengyu.
“If the situation is not right, just admit defeat. It is not shameful to do so. Just don’t injure yourself…” pipped up Ling Yichen as well. In conclusion, he’d rather that he himself be injured than be willing for Ling Chuxi to receive even the slightest bit of harm.
Xia Zhuoyi and Lan Xinyu hesitated for a moment and were just about to speak words of advice when Ling Chuxi suddenly raised her head and stared at Fu Chengyu.
“Big Brother Fu, how do we place a bet for this wager?” asked Ling Chuxi with scorching eyes.
“Ah?” Fu Chengyu was stunned. He totally did not think that this would be Ling Chuxi’s question. After being stunned for a while, he regained his senses and said, “There are two ways to bet. The first is to place a bet before the compet.i.tion starts on who will obtain the first three places at the end. The pay-out rate differs. The second way to go about it is to place a bet before every round of the compet.i.tion.”
