Chapter 1766: King of Idiots (1/2)
Even though Huang Xiaolong also had a king of supreme godhead and had heaven-defying talent, it was nothing before him.
That was because he had the top-ranked king of supreme godhead and the number one divine physique!
Moreover, Huang Xiaolong had cultivated for less than a thousand years. He hadn’t even reached the Heavenly Monarch Realm a hundred years back! Even if he had managed to enter the Heavenly Monarch Realm in the past one hundred years, he would, at the very most, be in the second or third order.
“Right. I remember that the top ten chambers of commerce would come together to organize the bets for the winner of the Battle of the Heavenly Court. Are they doing it this time?” Di Jing looked at everyone and asked.
“Replying to the Heavenly Prince, the bets have started. Everyone has betted on you being first. However, there is a huge competition for second place. Other than the young masters of the Fiend God Emperor Palace, Brightness Emperor Palace, and the Grandmist Emperor Palace, some of them are betting on the Bladeless Emperor Palace or the Violet Flame Sword Sect’s Young Masters.” One of the marshals reported to Di Jing.
Di Jing said with indifference, “Since that is the case, I want to join in the fun as well. Use my name to bet twenty million low-grade chaos spirit stones on my victory.”
Everyone was stunned.
Of course, they knew his intentions.
Since Huang Xiaolong had sworn to crush Di Jing under his feet, Di Jing wanted to force Huang Xiaolong to take out twenty million low-grade chaos spirit stones to bet on his own victory.
“Yes, Heavenly Prince.”
The news of Di Jing placing a bet of twenty million low-grade chaos spirit stones on his victory spread out like wildfire.
The news was just as earth-shattering as Huang Xiaolong’s offer of ten million low-grade chaos spirit stones for a manor.
When Huang Xiaolong heard the news while drinking with Mo Xiao, he laughed.
Huang Xiaolong turned to Li Shan and said, “Li Shan, go and place a bet of forty million low-grade spirit stones on my victory after this.”
“WHAT?!”
Mo Xiao, Chen Kaiwen, Yan Kang, and the others felt their arms going soft, and the cup of wine in Zhao Lei’s hand smashed to the ground.
“Four… Forty million?! Forty million low-grade chaos spirit stones?!”
Moreover, Huang Xiaolong was betting on himself!
Zhao Lei even suspected that Huang Xiaolong’s brain had rotted.
Zhao Lei wasn’t the only person feeling this way; everyone else also felt like a bomb had gone off in their minds.
Li Shan opened his mouth, but he didn’t dare to speak.
Bei Xiaomei suddenly opened her mouth and put on an exaggerated expression, “No way! Uncle, are you really going to act so recklessly?! Even if you managed to obtain some absolute treasure, you can’t throw money away! How can you throw away forty million to bet on your win? You know that you can’t beat him. That’s forty million you’re talking about!”
“Just to prove a point, is it worth throwing away forty million low-grade chaos spirit stones?!”
“If you have nowhere else to spend your money, give it to me!”
Bei Xiaomei’s words struck a chord in everyone’s heart.
As for Huang Xiaolong, he merely laughed. “Of course, it’s worth it. It’s just forty million!”
Everyone fell silent.
When the banquet finally ended, Huang Xiaolong passed Li Shan exactly forty million low-grade chaos spirit stones.
However, when Huang Xiaolong took out the ten million low-grade chaos spirit stones for Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao refused to accept them. Regardless of how Huang Xiaolong phrased it, Mo Xiao adamantly declined to touch the spirit stones. Seeing as that was the case, Huang Xiaolong could only give it up.
