Chapter 493 – The One Minute Promise
He tried cultivating with the help of the Vermillion Fruit for the past two days, and it turned out that it was just as he had predicted. By stimulating his own bloodline through the Vermillion Fruit, it could greatly increase the speed at which his bloodline power absorbed life energy. Especially when he was cultivating in Sea G.o.d Lake, a single Vermillion Fruit would help him recover the Dragon G.o.d’s scale after an hour of cultivation.
If he could consume a Vermillion Fruit every day to cultivate, it would increase his cultivation speed by two to three times. His soul power would increase by about 1.5 times faster, but the strengthening of his bloodline was obvious.
The stronger his bloodline power, the easier it would be for him to cultivate his soul power. With this, Lan Xuanyu clearly felt the benefits.
However, a Vermillion Fruit was too expensive. A purple emblem could only buy five Vermillion Fruits. If he were to use five in a week, his basic consumption would be one purple emblem.
Lan Xuanyu’s heart ached a little, but he was indeed rich now, so he didn’t care anymore. He would cultivate first and let himself reach the four-ring realm as soon as possible. At the four-ring realm, he would be able to consume a hundred thousand-year Purple Immortal Spirit Ganoderma to strengthen his body, and his cultivation speed should be faster in the future. At that time, depending on the circ.u.mstances he would decide to use the Vermillion Fruits or not.
His cultivation method could be said to be willing to pay any price, and at the same time, it suited his bloodline perfectly. Let alone the Outer Court, even the Inner Court wouldn’t be willing to spend so much money to cultivate! The key was that they didn’t have money.
“Wait a minute.” Right at this moment, a voice suddenly resounded from afar.
When Lan Xuanyu turned around, he realized that there was another person right in front of him as though he had teleported over.
“h.e.l.lo, Lan Xuanyu!” The honest youth smiled at him.
“Why is it you again?” Lan Xuanyu looked at the honest youth and immediately became alert. He didn’t have a good impression of this person.
The honest youth said helplessly, “Junior, your att.i.tude isn’t right. I’m helping you. Firstly, congratulations on defeating that useless Hua Linhan. Awesome.”
Junior? Lan Xuanyu asked in surprise, “Why are you looking for me?”
The honest youth said, “Of course it’s about your upcoming match. See, I reminded you last time, right? The fourth years were indeed different. It was because of my reminder that you guys were prepared in advance and managed to win against them. This time, of course, I’m here to help you. If you believe me, you guys might really have a chance to defeat the sixth years and clear everything.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Tell me about it.” But the honest youth was right. His previous reminder was right. After Lan Xuanyu verified it, he had changed his tactics against Liu Baochuan and obtained quite a good result.
The honest youth said, “I know who your opponent in the last match is. But for the sake of fairness, I can’t tell you. I am very familiar with him, and what I can help you with is to fight for a chance to win.”
“Oh? What chance of winning?” Lan Xuanyu was really interested now.
The battle with Hua Linhan today allowed him to see the disparity between him and the seniors. Defeating Hua Linhan was mostly due to luck, and the sixth-year senior they would face would undoubtedly be stronger. He didn’t know how strong he would be, but they would be facing the number one sixth-year.
Although they could have one more teammate when facing a sixth year, today’s battle was already the first years’ strongest lineup. Having one more person wouldn’t mean much. Hence, Lan Xuanyu knew very well that it was impossible for them to win the next match.
But when this honest youth said that there was a chance of winning, he was naturally very interested. If there was really a chance of winning, then everything would be different! More importantly, clearing everything would be truly amazing.
The honest youth said, “It’s like this. I can convince your opponent and get them to raise a flag before the match. At that time, I’ll let him say that because you guys are juniors and respect the old and love the young, he’ll give you guys a chance and only fight for three minutes. As long as you guys can hold on for three minutes and don’t lose, it’ll be considered your win. With your performance today, although you guys definitely can’t win against the representative of the sixth years, you should still have a chance if you just try to hold on for three minutes.”
Three minutes? Lan Xuanyu’s heart palpitated. If it was really only three minutes, they might really have a chance.
The battle with Hua Linhan today took about a few minutes. In the end, they had even won. If they were just stalling for time, the battle method would be different. The area was so big, it was much easier to stall for time than to defeat the opponent. Furthermore, there were only three minutes.
“Three minutes? We might not be able to hold on.” Although he was already moved, Lan Xuanyu still said that with a worried expression.
The honest youth frowned and said, “Although I can convince him a little, I can’t make it too obvious. Otherwise, he won’t be able to answer to his cla.s.smates and teachers. If it’s just three minutes, you only need to pay ten purple emblems. I can guarantee that I don’t want any of this and give it all to him. If it’s shorter, the risk he has to bear will be even greater, especially if the academy and his cla.s.smates question him. The price you guys have to pay will be higher as well. If it’s two minutes, I’m afraid you’ll need 20 purple emblems.”
Lan Xuanyu squinted his eyes and said, “How about this, one minute. As long as we can hold on for one minute, we win. I’ll give him 30 purple emblems.”
Upon hearing this, the honest youth’s eyes lit up and his voice became excited. “30? Really?”
Lan Xuanyu: “But I have a condition.”
“What condition? Tell me.” The honest youth quickly asked.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Make sure that he doesn’t announce the rules in advance. We have to wait until the compet.i.tion, when both parties enter the venue, and then say it in front of everyone. Also, I want to pay later. We can’t pay first to ensure our safety.”
The honest youth said, “It’s no problem to announce this before the compet.i.tion, but it’s not too good to pay later, right? Without the emblems, how am I going to convince him! What if you guys don’t give them to me after the compet.i.tion?”
Lan Xuanyu: “I guarantee it in my honor.”
The honest youth pursed his lips. “You dared to even use a fake Divine Weapon to deceive your opponent during the compet.i.tion. Your honor is not enough, junior.”
Lan Xuanyu coughed. “I thought you were a teacher, but only now do I know that you were a senior since you called me junior. Your wrinkles come from you thinking too much.”
The honest youth widened his eyes. “Kid, are you mocking me?”
Lan Xuanyu quickly laughed. “No, no. But if you don’t agree, I don’t have any other choice! 30 purple emblems is simply too much. Furthermore, I didn’t know you before, so how can I guarantee that by giving you the emblems, you will be able to get our opponent to agree to it?”
The honest youth scratched his head and said, “Why don’t we do it this way? We’ll sign an agreement and write everything clearly. After the match, you’ll give me the emblems. That should be enough, right? If you don’t give this to me, junior, I can’t help you if that person finds trouble with you.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Senior, don’t worry, I am someone who keeps my promises. After all, I am only in my first year. If my reputation is ruined, how will I survive in the future?”
The honest youth laughed. “Alright, it’s settled then. Let’s make an agreement now.”
Very soon, Lan Xuanyu and the honest youth came up with an agreement.
After both parties signed the agreement, they held the agreement in their hands and laughed.
Lan Xuanyu thought to himself, ‘If it was really just a minute, how could we not hold on? Our opportunity is simply too great.’
