Thanks to Yang Kai’s performance earlier, Nu Yan’s attitude towards him became much warmer and friendlier; moreover, he would nce at Yang Kai from time to time with a thoughtful expression.
Leading the ck Ink Disciples under hismand, Nu Yan left the gambling arena and found a ce to rest. He even handed many cultivation resources to Yang Kai so that thetter could recover sooner.
Yang Kai could only show a grateful attitude. The truth was that the previous fight against the Bright King Cave Heaven cultivator had not exhausted him to a great extent. He had been holding back his strength all this time, so he only looked like he was in a wretched condition on the surface. Nevertheless, in order not to expose his secret, Yang Kai was forced to suppress his recovery ability as much as possible. In this way, it took him three whole days before he returned to his peak.
During these three days, he repeatedly felt Nu Yan watching him with a vaguely meaningful look. These urrences made him somewhat vignt. He even wondered whether he had identally revealed his secrets and caused Nu Yan to be suspicious of him. Upon careful consideration though, Yang Kai realised that his worries were unwarranted. He had not made any mistakes, so Nu Yan could not have figured out anything; even so, he could not understand what Nu Yan was thinking.
When Yang Kai opened his eyes on the third day, it was obvious that Nu Yan had been waiting for a long time. Nu Yan’s gaze immediately swept in his direction, and he called out, “A-1!”
Yang Kai stood up and cupped his fist, “How may I help you, Master?”
“With your ability, how many battles can you win if you fought consecutive rounds against Humans in the same Order without any rest?” Nu Yan asked.
Yang Kai did not know why Nu Yan was asking about this. He thought to himself that it was impossible for him to lose against opponents in the same Order no matter how many of them he fought, but he answered cautiously, “Three battles, at most.”
Nu Yan raised his eyebrows, “Three? Very good!” While saying that, he stood up and looked in a certain direction, “I’m going to bring you to a gambling arena. Can you guarantee that you will be undefeated in all three battles?”
Yang Kai frowned and asked, “This subordinate has just shown his face in the gambling arena a few days ago. Will anybody be willing to be my opponent if we go again now?”
His previous battle against the Bright King Cave Heaven cultivator had been witnessed by many ck Ink nsmen. No matter how much he had suppressed his strength, his victory would not change. There might not be anybody who was willing to take up the challenge due to the skills Yang Kai showed in the earlier battle.
Nu Yan chuckled, “Rest assured, there will definitely be contenders. Even if there aren’t, I’ll think of a way. You don’t need to worry about this. However, I need you to guarantee me that you will never lose. If you think that you are incapable of continuing, then let me know in advance.”
He was reluctant to lose a servant like Yang Kai.
“Yes!” Yang Kai responded.
“Let’s go!” Nu Yan beckoned with his hand and led his ck Ink Disciples towards the gambling arena once more.
A short whileter, they arrived at a crater where two ck Ink Disciples were fighting. The surrounding area was as lively as ever. This was undoubtedly a deathmatch. The two ck Ink Disciples were struggling desperately, each unleashing their respective Secret Techniques and Divine Abilities. It was an extraordinarily heated battle, and the cheers rang out endlessly from the crowd.
After waiting for some time, the fight between the two ck Ink Disciples finally came to an end. The winner survived, and the loser died. Sometimes, the fate of ck Ink Disciplesy at the whims of the ck Ink n.
When the victorious ck Ink Disciple left the arena, Nu Yan signalled Yang Kai with a look.
Yang Kai immediately understood and flew down into the crater. It had only been three days since hest fought a valiant battle here, so many ck Ink nsmen recognised him when he suddenly showed up here. They immediately looked enthusiastic, chatting while watching with great interest. Be that as it may, no ck Ink nsman sent their own ck Ink Disciple into the arena.
This couldn’t be helped as Yang Kai’s performance a few days ago had been too extraordinary. If somebody entered the arena without confidence, they would only suffer a tragic end. It was not easy to obtain ck Ink Disciples, so the ck Ink n was not willing to squander them carelessly. Naturally, there were many ck Ink nsmen who showed interest in Yang Kai. It was just that they could only shake their heads regretfully after asking the opinions of the ck Ink Disciples under theirmand.
Despite waiting for a while, nobody stepped forward to ept the challenge. Yang Kai remained standing in the middle of the crater, looking rather bored. A ck Ink nsman soon yelled from the surrounding area, “Nu Yan, nobody will ept your challenge if you send this person into battle! Change him for someone else!”
Nu Yan bared his teeth in annoyance. He originally thought that he could get lucky, and a ck Ink nsman who was not aware of Yang Kai’s strength would send their ck Ink Disciple into battle. Who could have known that there were no reckless fools around today? Needless to say, the ck Ink nsmen who witnessed the battle three days ago would not be deceived, and those who had not witnessed the battle in person learned about the situation after making some enquiries.
Since he could not rely on luck, then he could only lure others in with the temptation of profit.
Nu Yan chuckled and spoke in a carrying voice, “It is true that my ck Ink Disciple is quite strong. I’ve never seen anybody else in the same Order who is more powerful than him. But, since he is already standing in the arena, it’s a pity to leave without even fighting. Let’s do this instead. We’ll fight a life bout. Whoever wins the battle can go ahead and take him away. Whoever loses the battle will only need to pay me 100 ck Ink Coins.”
As soon as this statement came out, an uproar broke out among the ck Ink nsmen. Nu Yan’s words were too brazen. It was almost like he was implying that it was impossible for his ck Ink Disciple to be defeated.
A ck Ink nsman immediately asked eagerly, “Nu Yan, are you serious?”
The value of a Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm ck Ink Disciple was not low. If a Sixth-Order ck Ink Disciple were to be traded, they would definitely be sold for tens of thousands of ck Ink Coins. It had to be said that tens of thousands of ck Ink Coins would be a sizable chunk of wealth to a High-Rank ck Ink n.
Even if they lost, thepensation was not too high. There would not be any deaths either since it was a life bout. In other words, they did not need to worry about their ck Ink Disciples dying and only needed to pay 100 ck Ink Coins.
It was only 100 ck Ink Coins; who could not afford something like that? Even the Low-Rank ck Ink nsmen could bring out 100 ck Ink Coins at will.
Nu Yan nodded, “Of course, I’m being serious. That is something I announced in public, so how can I go back on my words?”
Upon hearing those words, the ck Ink nsmen immediately became agitated and sent the ck Ink Disciples under theirmand into the arena. Dozens of ck Ink Disciples instantly took to the air andnded inside the crater.
Originally, Yang Kai stood alone in the gambling arena, now, a dozen or so figures were present.
Nu Yan chuckled, “Are you nning to gang up on me? If that’s the case, I will have to admit defeat.”
Many of the ck Ink nsmen looked around at each other. Nobody was willing to let their ck Ink Disciples retire from this battle. It was a great opportunity after all. Therefore, they all waited for the others to withdraw their ck Ink Disciples from the battlefield.
After a period of stalemate, Nu Yan came up with a suggestion, “Let’s do this. I’ll ask my ck Ink Disciple to randomly pick an opponent. Whomever he chooses will be the opponent in this battle, so there’s no need to argue over this matter. What do you think?”
This suggestion naturally received unanimous approval from everybody, so they nodded in agreement.
Only then did Nu Yan lower his head to look at Yang Kai, “Choose one yourself.”
Yang Kai swept his eyes over the crowd and randomly pointed a finger at a handsome young man, “You!”
The young man nodded lightly, and the other ck Ink Disciples left the battlefield after receiving orders from their respective Masters. Soon, only Yang Kai and the young man were left on the battlefield.
Nu Yan said, “Once you’re ready, you may start at any time.”
As soon as those words rang out, Yang Kai mmed into his opponent like an arrow released from the string. Hisrge hand reached out as World Force surged around his palm.
The young man had obviously seen the battle three days ago, so he knew Yang Kai’s strength. As soon as he saw Yang Kai making a move, how could he dare to let his opponent approach him? He immediately fled to the back and simultaneously cast a Secret Technique.
The Secret Technique sted at Yang Kai, but Yang Kai neither dodged nor avoided the attack and instead threw out a punch.
The battle was quite fierce. The young man was quite strong. Having originated from a Cave Heaven or Paradise, he was not an average Master. Both parties exchanged blows furiously, allowing the ck Ink n to enjoy the battle with relish.
For Yang Kai, this kind of battle was nothing special. It was just that he needed to moderately show off his strength without exposing too much, so suppressing his power was actually the most difficult part.
The intense battlested for an incense stick, and in the end, Yang Kai found an opportunity to punch the young man so hard that he coughed up blood and flew out. During that interval, Yang Kai did not pursue victory and simply stood silently in ce.
The young man gasped for breath for some time before he cupped his fist and flew away without a word.
The corners of Nu Yan’s mouth curled into a smile at the sight. After receiving the 100 ck Ink Coins from the master of the ck Ink Disciple earlier, he nced at Yang Kai questioningly, to which Yang Kai nodded lightly in response.
Seeing that, Nu Yan suddenly became confident and shouted, “The rules for the next battle will remain the same, but the loser will have to pay me 500 ck Ink Coins!”
Many ck Ink nsmen were stunned.
Generally speaking, ck Ink Disciples would need to rest after each fight. It was notmon for them to fight consecutive battles. Of course, it had happened once three days ago, the result of which was Lang Ya’s ck Ink Disciple from Bright King Cave Heaven being snatched by Nu Yan.
The strength of ck Ink Disciples in the same Order did not vary greatly, so it was very difficult for them to bear the burden of continuous battles; hence, Nu Yan’s practice was undoubtedly reckless. The number of ck Ink Coins might have increased from 100 to 500, but it was still within an eptable range. 500 ck Ink Coins was not too much. Not to mention, his ck Ink Disciple had already fought once, so his strength must have declined by now.
The astonishment of the ck Ink nsted only for a moment. Following that, a dozen or so ck Ink Disciples flew down and stood in front of Yang Kai once more.
Yang Kai didn’t know whether tough or cry. At this point, how could he not know what Nu Yan was nning? Nu Yan was totally regarding him as a money tree!
[No wonder he previously asked me how many battles I couldst. He even repeatedly told me that I must not lose and to tell him in advance if I was too tired to continue fighting.]
Despite understanding the situation, Yang Kai could only go along with the arrangement. Fortunately, Nu Yan only wanted to earn ck Ink Coins, so the battles were not deathmatches; otherwise, Yang Kai truly had no idea whether he could kill or not.
The same scene as earlier, along with the same rules. Yang Kai randomly chose his next opponent.
The Masters of those ck Ink Disciples who were not selected sighed in disappointment, but there was nothing they could do. In their opinion, this was a great opportunity to pick up a bargain. It was a pity that they failed to grasp the chance twice.
Be that as it may, reality turned out to be beyond their expectations. At the end of the second battle, Yang Kai won again. Although it looked like the battle had exhausted him, he pummelled his opponent to the point where they were coughing up blood. It was obvious that his opponent could no longer continue the fight.
Nu Yan was smiling so widely that his teeth could be seen. After receiving the 500 ck Ink Coins, he shot another inquiring look at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai regretted saying that he could fight three battles in a row. If he had known this would happen, he would never have given such an answer. His careless answer had made things difficult for him to quit now, so he could only nod lightly in silence. Sitting down cross-legged, he seized the time to ‘recover his strength’ as though he was extremely exhausted.
Many ck Ink nsmen turned their eyes to Nu Yan and waited for him to speak, and they were not disappointed as Nu Yan soon shouted, “This is thest match! The rules will remain the same. If you win, you can take him with you. If you lose, you have to cough up 1,000 ck Ink Coins.”
Compared to a Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm ck Ink Disciple worth tens of thousands of ck Ink Coins, 1,000 ck Ink Coins were undoubtedly worth betting. Especially since Yang Kai had already gone through two consecutive battles. The chances of winning were astronomical at this point.
