Chapter 1577: Gamble (1/2)
Chapter 1577: Gamble
Changyuang Xu was slightly stunned. The young island master before him was actually claiming that he could emerge unscathed from his attack without fighting back and would admit his loss if he lost a single hair. Changyang Xu doubted his ears.
“Young island master, may I ask how long you’ve been cultivating? If you’ve been cultivating for a century or longer, it would not be surprising if I can’t beat you,” Changyang Xu emotionlessly inquired. If the young island master had already cultivated for several hundred years, he would not be able to harm him. After all, Changyang Xu was only twenty years old.
“Xu’er’s right. The young island master has admitted that he’s older than Xu’er, so he’s definitely cultivated for far longer. If Xu’er loses, it’s not surprising.” Changyang Xu’s mother walked over from afar. She smiled amicably. She had to reveal herself as Changyang Xu’s mother before so many people.
Shanggguan Aojian sniggered, “Younger brother, I may be older than you, but it’s only three or four years at most. If you think that is unfair, then I’ll stand here without dodging at all. At the same time, I won’t defend or block your attack, and you can use your entire strength, including any battle skills you’ve comprehended. If you can get through my skin, it’ll be my defeat. How’s that?”
Changyang Xu immediately stopped worrying when he learned about Shangguan Aojian’s age. However, what Shangguan Aojian said near the end caused his face to warp. He coldly said, “You really think too highly of yourself. Do you think your body is forged from steel? Even steel is no different than soil before me, but since you’re so confident, I’ll take you up on your offer. I do, however, feel like it’ll be more interesting if we make a wager.” Near the end, Changyang Xu mysteriously smiled.
“A gamble?” Shangguan Aojian murmured. He could not help but smile mysteriously as well. He said, “Sure. What are you going to wager?”
With a flip of his hand, Changyang Xu pulled out five wooden boxes. He said, “I’ll wager five ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources. If you win, they’ll all belong to you, but if you lose, you need to leave behind all the cultivation methods and battle skills from Three Saint Island.”
When the people in the surroundings heard what Changyang Xu wanted to wager, they immediately began to laugh. Five ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources were very valuable, but they were not unique. They could even be bought with purple coins during some larger auctions. However, the cultivation methods and battle skills of Three Saint Island were truly priceless. They were things that even Saint Emperors would drool over. Basically everyone expected Shangguan Aojian to never agree to what Changyang Xu had proposed. It was an unfair gamble.
“Hehe, you want to use five ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resources to trade for all of the cultivation methods and battle skills from Three Saint Island. That would be a bad idea, but I’m going to agree to it.” Shangguan Aojian chuckled.
All the surrounding people became stunned when they heard how Shangguan Aojain would agree. Disbelief flooded their faces. At that moment, they had no idea what to say. They really were unsure whether the young island master was too confident or truly possessed the strength to back it up.
There were some people who even began to attempt to see through Shangguan Aojian’s strength. However, he possessed the Innate Chaotic Body and used a completely different cultivation system than the Tian Yuan Continent. Coupled with the fact that he was stronger than quite a few of the people present, even Saint Emperors were not able to see his exact strength among the people present.
At this moment, Shangguan Aojian slowly pulled out an extremely roughly-crafted box from his Space Ring. He said, “Younger brother, if you really do win, not only will I agree to your request, but I’ll even give this to you. If you lose, I don’t want your heavenly resources. I just want you to call me elder brother in front of everyone.” As he said that, Shangguan Aojian opened the wooden box. A fist-sized violet peach immediately appeared before everyone.
All the Sainthood experts stopped breathing when they saw the peach. Their eyes all widened as shock filled their faces. Many of their eyes began to burn with desire, revealing deeply hidden greed.
