On the day of the competition's second round, the crowd had gathered around the place for the second round. A stage was set in the middle of an open field. On the stage stood a man. He looked at the crowd. He also saw the members of the Bai clan and the Ma clan. Then he looked at the competitors and only saw two competitors of the Bai clan present. He began to speak, "As everyone knows, the bets have started. You can bet anything you want, but if you don't have anything to bet, then you can also bet your lives. Until now, not even a single person was brave enough to bet their life, including the first round." "Nothing can be gained without risking your lives:so, why hesitate? Just go ahead and bet your lives on anything you want." "You can take Kas, treasures, cultivator resources, and anything with just betting your lives. So, don't lose this chance." "As you are aware that the Ma clan has already won one round and only needs one more round to take the competition. Decide before
"You, you have another treasure?!" Ai Hao said with a stunned expression. Jun Haru stood up. He had grass growing everywhere on his body from all sides, even his face was covered in grass. This was a second treasure activated by Jun Haru. "Wow! He is using two treasures." "Nobody expected this." "Yeah, if I remember correctly, I heard that the cultivators only use one treasure at a time because they consume a lot of essence water." "Not just that, but using two treasures at a time is said to create some kind of conflict as well.""If I am not wrong, it also affects a person's body." The crowd was shocked to see Jun Haru use two treasures at the same time. Even the mortals were shocked to see this. "Let's continue!"Jun Haru jumped up from the ground and shouted. He ran at Ai Hao with his new treasure activated. "Hahaha, the Bai clan is gone for sure. Their third participant is also missing for some reason. If we win this fight, we can get half of the inheritance easily." The e
"Sister, I want to bet something." Si Yu came in front of the betting counters and said, "What is it, sir?" the female at the counter replied with a smile. "I would like to bet my life." "What?! Are you serious?" The counter female was shocked, not just her, but her fellow companions who were also registering bets, and the people standing next to her were also shocked after hearing Si Yu. They were all stunned for a reason: after all, Si Yu wanted to bet his life that not even the old people who were close to dying could do so. And he was still young at that. "Is he really serious?! " "He is just a kid! How can he put his life on the line by putting his hope on complete strangers?""I wonder what made him do this? Is he doing it for his loved ones?" The people standing next to the counter were all shocked to see this. "Sir, please tell us what you want in return and on whom do you want to place your bet?" The female who was recording bets on paper hurriedly asked. "I want twe
"Very well, let's begin the fight. Are you two ready?" Zing Ghe asked Yang Zhai and Yen Hu. "Hmm," Both of them nodded. "Okay, begin the fight." Zing Ghe announced the start of their fight and jumped down from the stage. He had no purpose of staying on the stage. After all, everything was allowed, even killing. So, he just had to announce the beginning and the end of a fight. Yen Hu released twenty small bees into the air. After this, he activated a treasure and his clothes changed colors to gray. Then, he pulled out a sword from the scabbard that hung by his waist. Yang Zhai looked at Yen Hu quietly. "Are you ready?" This time it was Yang Zhai who asked Yen Hu whether he was ready. Yen Hu did not say anything and looked at Yang Zhai with complete focus. He knew that Yang Zhai was definitely not an easy opponent: thus, he first wanted to see what Yang Zhai would do before he attacked Yang Zhai. Yang Zhai moved forward. His hands started to turn brown slowly. "Attack him!" Whe
"He is really strong!""He did not even give Yen Hu any chance to fight back, it was totally a one-sided fight.""He used his full strength from the very start. Maybe he knew that Yen Hu was strong and needed to end this fight as quickly as possible.""Yeah, I think he shouldn't have used his full strength and could have just fought with just half of his strength. At least, in this way, we could have gotten a good fight to watch.""Who told you that he used his full strength, I think he only used around eighty percent of his strength.""Sigh, I should have just bet my life on him when that kid bid his life on Yang Zhai. I should have known that the kid must have some kind of confidence to bet his life."Many people in the crowd thought that Yang Zhai used his full strength and wanted him to use only half of his strength. Little did they know that if Yang Zhai had used half of his strength, the battle would have ended just as it had started. But, this was what Yang Zhai wanted as well
"Yang Zhai,"Yang Zhai was about to unseal the sealing jade when he heard a voice from outside the tent."Yes, elder," Yang Zhai knew to whom this voice belonged, so he went and greeted the third elder. He stored the sealing jade in the pouch hanging on his waist."How are you doing?" "Fine, I am really happy that you are worried about me.""Who is he?" Zihao De looked at Si Yu who was standing by Yang Zhai's side and asked."He is a good friend of mine. I met him in the forest when I was going to the Ma clan. He was being attacked by a beast." Yang Zhai said politely and did not reject the third elder from answering his questions."Oh, I can see that you trust him highly. Anyway, why did he ask for the rewards from the Ma clan instead of the Bai clan: after all, if he lost, you might have been able to save him from the Bai clan." Elder Zihao De was a great strategist, how could he not know about the events that took place at the betting counter today? He also knew the emotional eff
Yang Zhai returned to his tent. It was already past midnight. He saw that Si Yu was already sleeping on one side of the tent. Yang Zhai was also tired from today's journey. He had to travel tomorrow again: so, he went back to sleep. He was not worried about him being attacked. The Bai clan knew that Yang Zhai was their strongest participant and Ai Hao was a healing cultivator: so, they couldn't lose him. He was sure that there were definitely one or two people outside the tent, protecting him. Especially after today's event. And the third elder also needed him for his plan, therefore, his safety was certain. ….. The next day, Four elders including Yu Ene, Yu Ane, Zihao De, and Ren Fang stood together. With them were five disciples of the Bai clan. Si Yu was also with them. They were getting ready to travel back to the Bai clan. "So, is he coming with us as well?" Si Kim asked Yang Zhai whilst looking at Si Yu. "Yes," "But, he is not from the Bai clan." "So what?" "Accordin
A change, was there anything that did not change? Fate, was there anything that was not fated? Freedom, was there anything that was free? If one thing could affect many different things and could cause unexpected situations, then, was change a freedom? If the result was going to happen unexpectedly, then, was fate permanent? If something could be affected by the reaction of someone else, then was this through change or fate? Everything changes, a seed grows into a tree one day. But, the tree is the fate of a seed if it remains in a safe environment. The same was for a living being. A living being grows from being a child into youth and then old, then, it dies. Is this growth considered a change, or is the result considered fate? Or, could it be that these two were interlinked? If true, then what was more dominant? A man came running with blood all over his body. The man had long black hair and looked quite handsome. However, he had a knife pierced into his body. He was missing one
