Chapter 92 - The Astonished Elders (1/2)
The enormous formation began to solidify, and a tremendous force was emitted from it.
Upon seeing this, Mo Li could not help but laugh, “Senior Brother Gong Yang, I never thought you would be so confident in Qin Nan; it seems like I will be earning an extra five thousand Martial Emperor Pills with ease. Well, thank you for Senior Brother Gong Yang’s generosity.”
After hearing Mo Li’s words, the five elders spoke one after another with pleasant smiles on their faces.
“Yeah, Gong Yang. It seems like we have the upper hand this time.”
“Hehe, ten thousand Martial Emperor Pills is all my possession, makes my heartbeat races when I think of it.
“Tsk tsk, If Qin Nan did achieve one of the top five spots, I won’t feel anguished over my loss at all.”
……
The five elders and Mo Li were obscurely mocking Gong Yang.
Although they had no idea why on earth Gong Yang was confident enough to bet over seventy thousand Martial Emperor Pills on Qin Nan acquiring one of the top five spots, they still found it impossible for Qin Nan—mere trash with a fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm cultivation—to be ranked in the top five after offending Ling Zixiao and the two hundred and twenty disciples.
Even though Qin Nan could be considered as one of the top talents with an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, it would be impressive enough for him to survive in this Trial of Versatility.
The other inner disciples began to chat among themselves after hearing these words.
“What is Senior Brother Gong Yang thinking this time, to establish such a bet after knowing he would lose for sure.”
“Who cares, it’s a good chance to earn some Martial Emperor Pills.”
“Damn it, I just bet five hundred Martial Emperor Pills on Qin Nan.”
“HAHAHA, you’re certainly mad, betting Qin Nan to acquire a top-five spot under such circumstances? I’m afraid your five hundred Martial Emperor Pills are gone this time.”
……
Gong Yang shrugged his shoulders after hearing these words, and let out a smile.
In everyone’s opinion, Gong Yang might be out of his mind to set up such a bet, but the truth was otherwise.
Previously, when Gong Yang heard that Ling Zixiao had assembled over two hundred disciples to hunt Qin Nan down, he was completely shocked too, and utterly furious. However, Gong Yang knew that Qin Nan had the Great Elder’s badge on him.
Following this, Gong Yang began to investigate Qin Nan’s background, and knew that he had come from Lingshui City. There was nothing special about his journey here; hence it was impossible for him to have had any contact with the Great Elder of the Mystic Spirit Sect.
Therefore, the question was; why would Qin Nan have the Great Elder’s badge when he only possessed an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, and his cultivation base was only at the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm?
The only explanation was that there was some secret which remained hidden to the crowd about Qin Nan, which the Great Elder was fond of.
Therefore, together with Gong Yang’s understanding of Qin Nan, he was confident in him.
At last, in that instant, an inner disciple said with a low tone, “They’re out…”
On the White Jade Dojo, in the midst of the formation, a continuous stream of invisible fluctuations could be felt, as over a hundred figures began to slowly come into view.
After the figures appeared, the enormous foundation then vanished, returning the place to its calm state.
At that instant, the five elders, Gong Yang, Xiao Qingxue, and Mo Li went forward without hesitation and their eyes scanned the crowd of disciples.
