Chapter 217: Chapter 186 One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Swords_1
“Same old, same old!”
After reading the contents of the contract, Xu Mu shook his head, handing it back to Shang YaoYao.
Shang YaoYao accepted the contract back, defiantly retorting, “What do you mean ‘same old’? This time the conditions are at 80%, and we do not require you to marry into our family. The woman you would be marrying is one of the top geniuses in our Shang clan, with a high likelihood of advancing to the Golden Pill stage in the future!”
Shang YaoYao leaned closer to Xu Mu, trying to tempt him, “And she is exceptionally beautiful!”
The last sentence was unnecessary!
I wonder if I look like someone who is easily swayed by beauty!
“You know my personality well. How about we discuss this after I win the competition tomorrow!” Xu Mu replied with a grin.
“You can’t possibly think you’re going to win, do you?”
Initially, she thought Xu Mu could at most advance to the semi-finals. His success in defeating Qu Qingdream really took her by surprise.
However, based on Lu Baiyu’s impressive display of strength today, Xu Mu’s chances of winning are practically nonexistent.
It’s not that Xu Mu is underpowered, rather Lu Baiyu is exceptionally powerful.
A Qi Cultivation stage practitioner controlling thousands of flying swords, can truly be considered a monstrous prodigy.
“You don’t believe in me?!”
“No, I don’t!”
Shang YaoYao shook her head.
“In that case, how about we make a bet?!”
Xu Mu stood up and walked two steps forward, snapping his fingers.
“Another bet? What are you up to?”
Shang YaoYao eyed Xu Mu suspiciously.
“It’s simple, wager all your Spirit Stones on my victory. If I win, all the Spirit Stones will be mine. If I lose, I’ll join your clan according to the contract!” Xu
Mu proposed.
“Do you think I’m stupid? Won’t that be equivalent to you not losing anything while I lose all the Spirit Stones for nothing?” Shang YaoYao grumbled.
“Do you accept or not? If you don’t, let it be!”
Xu Mu shrugged, not appearing bothered.
After a moment of hesitation, Shang YaoYao nodded in agreement.
“I can accept that, but I have one stipulation!”
“Speak!”
“If you win, under the same conditions, you must join our Shang clan!
Xu Mu’s eyes glittered as he nodded in agreement.
Once the matter was settled, Shang YaoYao did not linger. Taking out a talisman, she vanished right in front of Xu Mu who went back to meditate.
The next day, the competition’s stage was set and the two players ascended under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
“Senior brother Xu!”
“Junior Brother Lu!”
Both of them greeted each other with a fist and palm salute, their expressions calm and composed, not saying much.
The audience watched nervously.
Many had stakes riding on this match.
Boom!
As the match bell rang, Lu Baiyu immediately unleashed dozens of flying swords from his storage bag, nearly covering half of the arena.
“Senior brother Xu, I apologize in advance!”
After so many matches, Lu Baiyu felt he had seen through Xu Mu completely.
There was no need for prevarication.
Swift resolution was the wisest course of action.
“As long as it is within the rules of the competition, do as you wish, Junior Brother!”
Xu Mu summoned his flying sword, responding with a relaxed smile.
