Chapter 885
The sect was shaken.
The Three Saints Sect, Sky-Supporting Peak.
This is the largest main peak of the Three Saints Sect, and the sect's disciples' arena is located here.
The Three Saints Sect has never prohibited internal strife among its disciples. As long as no one goes to their death, the sect's higher-ups generally won't interfere.
Therefore, in the Three Saints Sect, conflicts between disciples are resolved in the arena.
The arena was unusually lively today, with many disciples from other peaks arriving.
Recently, the Three Saints Sect is about to go to war with the Blood Demon Palace, and most of the disciples who went out have returned.
This arena battle is an inner disciple challenging a true disciple.
In the Three Saints Sect, true disciples are the epitome of prodigies, and almost every true disciple has a 50% chance of advancing to the Dao Integration stage.
Therefore, it is rare for inner disciples to challenge true disciples within the Three Saints Sect.
"Have you heard? This time, it's Wang Ping, who's at the bottom of the true lineage, who's been challenged!"
"If it was him, then it's no surprise!"
"I heard that this person got his position through connections, and this time he's probably going to lose his rightful place as the true successor."
"I hate these second-generation rich kids the most. They have no skills of their own and can only rely on their family!"
"Let's go, let's go! A gambling den has been set up on the outskirts, let's go place a bet!"
In the Three Saints Sect's arena matches, betting is often set up, but only for those highly influential matches.
The duel between Wang Ping and Ding Ke had a significant impact, so some people secretly started a betting game.
The odds are currently 1 to 5.
Ding Keyi, Wang Pingwu.
It's normal to have such odds, after all, anyone can see that Wang Ping is just a spoiled brat who is not good at fighting, and Ding Ke is even a small realm higher than Wang Ping.
This battle was not only being watched by the sect's disciples, but also by many of the sect's elders, though they were all observing it in secret.
Wang Yanran was standing with several inner sect elders.
One of the inner sect elders, who looked like a scholar, looked at Wang Yanran and smiled:
“Junior Sister Wang, your brother is too impulsive. Ding Ke is Elder Sun’s disciple and is at the top level in the Nascent Soul stage. Wang Ping will definitely lose this battle.”
This elder of the sect was named Kong Rui, and he was also a half-step Dao Integration cultivator.
He and Wang Yanran had never gotten along, mainly because Wang Yanran had rejected him back then, which made him lose face in the sect.
So ever since that incident, he would do anything that would make Wang Yanran uncomfortable.
“Junior Brother Zhang, since this person is Junior Sister Wang’s brother, she must have given him many life-saving items. It’s still uncertain who will win this battle.” The speaker was an old man, the oldest among the sect’s elders, named Weng Qing.
Weng Qing was also the senior brother of all the elders in the inner sect.
Kong Rui sneered:
"Since Senior Brother Weng puts it that way, Junior Sister Wang, would you dare to make a bet with me?"
"What are we betting on?" Wang Yanran asked calmly.
Kong Rui said with a smile, "I heard that Junior Sister recently exchanged for a Dao Integration Spiritual Item, so I'll take this one."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several elders in the room changed.
A Dao-Merging Spiritual Object is undoubtedly the most precious thing for a half-step Dao-Merging cultivator.
If a Dao seed wants to transform into a Dao fruit, it must actively undergo a tribulation. If it has the assistance of a Dao-harmonizing spiritual object, the chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation will be much greater.
However, Dao-harmonizing spiritual items are too precious; they cannot be exchanged for without hundreds of thousands of contribution points.
Even among the elders, very few could afford to exchange for it.
Wang Yanran said:
"So what can you offer?"
Kong Rui chuckled and said:
"One Xuanhuang Crystal!"
Upon hearing "Mysterious Yellow Crystal," Weng Qing exclaimed in surprise:
"Junior brother, you actually possess such a treasure?"
Xuanhuang Crystal is a top-tier material produced in the Xuanhuang Realm. Even old monsters above the Dao Integration Realm use it. This material is generally only used to forge world-opening treasures.
This is a true divine object; even within the Three Saints Sect, materials of this caliber are extremely rare.
Its value is in no way inferior to that of a Dao-integrated spiritual object.
Kong Rui did not answer Weng Qing's question, but looked at Wang Yanran:
"Junior sister, what do you think?"
Wang Yanran nodded: "Okay."
"Alright, then let all of you fellow disciples be our witnesses." Kong Rui laughed heartily.
He was extremely confident about this bet.
Because he had learned from the side that Ding Ke was not only in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but had also recently condensed the threads of law.
Those who can condense threads of law at the Nascent Soul stage are almost all geniuses among geniuses.
The difference between a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage who possesses the power of laws and one who does not is like heaven and earth, so he was certain that Ding Ke would win this battle.
Wang Yanran paid no attention to Ding Ke's loud laughter; her gaze remained fixed on the arena, waiting for Wang Ping's arrival.
Actually, she was also surprised that Wang Ping accepted Ding Ke's challenge.
Given Wang Ping's previous personality, he would never have accepted such a challenge.
Now that Wang Ping has accepted the challenge, he must be absolutely confident; she knows her younger brother very well.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have made a bet with Kong Rui.
More and more disciples gathered around the arena.
The disciples were all eagerly anticipating the match, and the betting outside the arena was getting bigger and bigger, with many people participating in the betting on this competition.
Just then, a figure flew in from a distance. The person was none other than Ding Ke.
Today, she wore a light blue tight-fitting long dress that perfectly showcased her hot figure. Coupled with her outstanding appearance, it immediately drew cheers from many disciples in the audience.
Ding Ke stood on the arena without saying a word, quietly waiting for Chen Feng to arrive.
Before long, Chen Feng walked over from a distance, with Jiang Ming by his side.
Jiang Ming said in a low voice;
"Junior Brother Wang, I have already bet all the contribution points you gave me on you to win, as you instructed. I have also bet a lot of contribution points on you. You'd better do your best."
Chen Feng smiled:
"I will."
As Chen Feng walked onto the arena, he immediately attracted the attention of the disciples watching below.
"Is this person Wang Ping?"
"As expected, someone with only mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation can become a true disciple. This is unfair of the sect!"
"It seems that Senior Sister Ding is bound to win this battle."
''
The discussions below the arena were constant, ranging from jealousy and anger to schadenfreude.
Ding Ke glanced at Chen Feng, who was standing not far from her, and said with a sneer:
"Wang Ping, it seems you are not popular in the sect. Today, it is destiny that I will take away your lineage of true disciples."
Chen Feng completely ignored Ding Ke and instead asked the elder in charge of the proceedings:
"Can we start fighting?"
The elder was visibly taken aback, but quickly recovered and immediately said:
"The duel begins!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately pulled out a pistol from his person.
This pistol has a unique design, with concentric lines on it, and is entirely silver in color.
This gun is a new type of antimatter weapon developed by Tuosen, an antimatter pistol.
Compared to the Annihilation Eye, this antimatter pistol is much less powerful, but it has an extremely high rate of fire and a very short charging time. Chen Feng had asked Tuo Sen for one when he returned to the lunar base.
Seeing Chen Feng take out a strangely shaped object, Ding Ke assumed that Chen Feng had taken out some special spiritual treasure. She did not dare to be negligent and immediately condensed her own Law Threads.
Five strands of law radiating golden light appeared around her!
"The Golden Law!"
"Senior Sister Ding actually condensed threads of law at the late Nascent Soul stage!"
"No wonder she dared to challenge the true master; with such a trump card, she certainly could!"
"."
The disciples below gasped in astonishment.
The elders who were secretly watching the battle also showed expressions of surprise.
Kong Rui looked at Wang Yanran smugly:
"Junior sister, it seems I've won this time!"
Wang Yanran ignored Kong Rui and continued watching the arena.
On the stage, Ding Ke said with a smile:
"Wang Ping, you didn't expect this, did you? I've already condensed threads of law, and today..."
However, before Ding Ke could finish speaking, Chen Feng had already pulled the trigger.
With the trigger pulled, the antimatter pistol was instantly fully charged!
A black ray shot towards Ding Ke at terrifying speed.
Before Ding Ke could react, the threads of law surrounding her, along with her physical body, were instantly annihilated!
Her primordial spirit was reduced to a mere wisp of a soul.
At that moment, the murmurs in the room ceased, leaving only a deathly silence!
Everyone stared blankly at Ding Ke's remnant soul on the arena.
At this moment, Chen Feng put away the antimatter pistol and looked at the elder in charge of this battle, saying:
"Announce the results, I need to go back and cultivate."
Upon hearing this, the elder immediately realized what was happening, swallowed hard, and said:
"Wang Ping wins this battle!"
The disciples below also realized what was happening, and countless of them stared wide-eyed.
"Wang Ping won?"
"What did he just do? It seems he only used that treasure to launch an attack, and then Ding Ke was left with only a remnant soul!"
"What kind of treasure is that?"
"It must be a treasure given by the Wang family. This is unfair! They actually used a treasure that can instantly kill someone at the Nascent Soul stage!"
"We refuse to accept this!"
The disciples below all looked at Chen Feng with righteous indignation.
In their view, Wang Ping's victory was entirely due to that treasure, and not his own strength at all, which was unacceptable to many disciples.
In response to the murmurs below, Chen Feng simply replied:
"Isn't family background a form of power? My family has connections and money, so why can't I use it? If you have connections, you can too!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples below all twitched.
Chen Feng's blatant admission that he relied on his family made many disciples feel that he was shameless.
At this moment, a figure appeared on the arena. This figure was none other than Kong Rui.
Kong Rui looked at Chen Feng with a gloomy expression:
"What kind of treasure did you just use?"
Chen Feng glanced at Kong Rui: "Elder, is this any of your business? The sect has never said that disciples need to report to the elders what treasures they use in their duels."
"How dare you, Wang Ping! You are so ruthless to your fellow disciples. Do you still consider yourself a member of the Three Saints Sect? Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your master!"
Kong Rui was genuinely furious. He never imagined that a game he was certain to win would end in such a defeat.
Moreover, even he couldn't tell what treasure Chen Feng had used just now, which could instantly kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even he felt a sense of crisis when he saw that black ray.
He wanted to find out what kind of treasure it was.
Just then, another figure descended from the sky; it was none other than Wang Yanran.
Without wasting any words, Wang Yanran conjured a long sword and slashed it directly at Kong Rui!
This sword strike contained the power of the Dao Seed.
The formation on the arena shattered in an instant!
Kong Rui was startled, clearly not expecting Wang Yanran to make a direct move. He quickly mobilized the power of his Dao Seed to resist the force of the sword.
The moment their forces collided, an incredibly terrifying shockwave was generated.
Upon seeing the shockwave, the disciples below all turned pale.
This was something that low-level cultivators like them simply couldn't withstand.
But just as the shockwave was about to reach the disciples, an invisible force swept in from the sky, completely dispelling the shockwave.
A figure appeared on the horizon.
The newcomer was none other than Wei Xian, the vice sect leader of the Three Saints Sect.
Upon seeing Wei Xian, the disciples below all bowed in unison:
"Greetings, Vice Sect Master!"
Wang Yanran, who was in the middle of the attack, stopped at this moment.
Wei Xian glanced at Wang Yanran and Kong Rui, and said coldly:
“As elders, how can you lay a hand on your disciples? You two are each to have your salaries reduced by ten years!”
Kong Rui hurriedly said:
“Vice Sect Master, it was Wang Yanran who made the first move; I was merely defending myself.”
Wei Xian snorted coldly:
"I already know what happened. Since you lost, you should accept it. Don't act like a sore loser and lay a hand on a junior. Aren't you afraid of disgracing your master?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Rui immediately bent down:
"I understand!"
Wei Xuan glanced at everyone in the room: "Disperse, everyone. The day when the sect and the Blood Demon Palace will go to war is coming soon. Don't waste your time on this kind of thing!"
The disciples below all shouted in unison:
"We will obey the Vice Sect Master's orders!"
After Wei Xian finished speaking, he left, but before leaving, he gave Chen Feng a meaningful look.
On the stage, Wang Yanran looked at Chen Feng and said:
"Go back to your cave first. I have something to tell you later."
Chen Feng nodded and left without saying anything more.
The disciples below looked at Chen Feng with extremely unfriendly eyes. After all, in their view, Chen Feng's victory this time was entirely due to his background and had nothing to do with his own strength.
Although they were unhappy, no one dared to say anything.
Jiang Ming excitedly approached Chen Feng:
"Haha, Junior Brother Wang, we've struck it rich this time!"
Although Jiang Ming appeared happy, he was inwardly regretting his own foolishness.
He did bet on Chen Feng to win, but only bet 1,000 contribution points, which was actually meant to show Chen Feng.
In his mind, Chen Feng had no chance of winning.
If he had known Chen Feng would win, he would have definitely bet more; this would have been a great opportunity to earn contribution points.
"Just lucky," Chen Feng replied with a smile.
He originally intended to defeat Ding Ke with his own strength, but after thinking about it, he realized that this would mean he would lose an opportunity to earn contribution points.
Although he won this time, it will surely arouse the dissatisfaction of more disciples, who will definitely challenge him again later.
Wouldn't that allow you to earn contribution points?
Now is truly a time when he's short of contribution points, and everything he does is focused on gaining them. (End of Chapter)
