Chapter 34: The Battle in the Hall (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  Wang Meng was taken aback, "Can't we just talk things through? We're all children of the Holy Hall, can't we reason with each other?"

  "Get out of my way, you big-headed ghost! Take a punch from me!"

  Wang Meng had just walked in with a hoe when Su Ming suddenly swung his hammer down towards Wang Meng's face.

  Everyone scolded despicably, Wang Meng seemed to have been frightened, the hoe bounced off his shoulder and flew out like it had slipped from his hand, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, just hitting Suo Ming's neck.

  This attack was like scratching an itch for Tī Xīu, but Sō Min looked as if he had been possessed by a demon and fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Sorry, sorry, slipped up."

  He hastily picked up the hoe and slung it over his shoulder, but his hand slipped again, and it happened to hit the dying man's mouth.

  No scream, Wang Meng's front door tooth just fell off, and Wang Meng was even more embarrassed.

  Hastily picking up his hoe, Wang Meng said with some regret, "I told you, it's all about reason for the disciples of Sheng Tang."

  Patted Soming's face, "Don't show your teeth in the future."

  Shen Tu was stunned, wondering if this guy was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid????

  Was that shovel just now so powerful?

  Shen Tu looked at Wang Meng's dirty clothes, which seemed to have just been pulled out of the ground, and for a moment, he couldn't make up his mind. Was this guy bluffing him?

  Lei Guang Tang's disciples were shocked, but who cares what happened, winning is all that matters. It seems that Heng Shan Tang is also a fake, trying to intimidate others!

  Looking at the Thunder Light Hall disciples around him with their sharp eyes, he felt that the atmosphere had been stirred up enough.

  "Fine, this is the hospitality of Leiguan Hall! I represent Hengshan Hall to challenge you to a hall war. Do you dare accept?"

  This is a formal challenge. Not accepting it would be a loss of face, but accepting it poses a problem: both parties have to put up rewards, and the winner takes all.

  Undoubtedly, the battle for the hall is not only about reputation but also about competing for cultivation resources.

  Zhou Qian's first reaction was to give up. What's the point of saving face? Besides, Leigongtang didn't have any face to save anyway.

  This was basically everyone's reaction, except... Zhang Xiaojiang.

  Hu Jing saw Zhang Xiaopang's face flush with anger and knew something was wrong, but it was too late to stop him.

  "We'll fight to the end, who's afraid of whom? Flatten your Horizontal Mountain Hall, isn't that what everyone says?" At this moment, Zhang Zhenren had a majestic aura, as if pointing at the mountains and rivers.

  The surroundings were silent, with everyone staring at him in shock. Is this guy crazy? How could he agree to this?

  Shen Tu De Yi laughed, "Alright, very good, you are Zhang Xiao Jiang, Wan Chang Lao's disciple, and also a representative of Lei Guang Tang. Since you've accepted, we'll each put out 20 pieces of mid-grade spirit stones, 200 pieces of low-grade spirit stones, and five people from each side will compete in five battles. Whoever wins three battles first will win all the spirit stones!"

  "What, you want spirit stones too?" Zhang Xiaopang was stunned. Twenty mid-grade ones, two hundred low-grade ones... even if they scoured the entire Leigong Hall, it's unclear whether they'd have enough. At this moment, Zhang Zhenren saw the other party's cunning gaze and thought to himself: "I've been had."

  Zhou Qian couldn't help but laugh bitterly. This fatty was still so arrogant and stupid. A duel was originally a strong person bullying a weak one, yet he actually dared to agree to it. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?!

  Shen Tu and others walked away with satisfaction, leaving behind a mess, while Lei Guang Tang's disciples who had gathered to watch the commotion suddenly dispersed, barely avoiding being affected.

  Ling stone is the most practical thing in cultivation. Who doesn't treasure it like a precious gem? Nobody wants to take it out and engage in a completely hopeless battle, let alone give it away to someone else.

  When Zhang Xiaojian looked at Zhou Qian, Brother Zhou hastily waved his hand and said, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, my stomach hurts, I'll leave first."

  He finished speaking and flashed away instantly, his speed didn't show any signs of having a stomachache.

  Only Zhang Xiaojiang, Hu Jing and Wang Meng, who was watching the excitement, were left. Ma Tian'er seemed to want to say something but was dragged away by her sisters.

  Back at Wang Meng's place, Zhang Xiaojiang looked dejected, and Hu Jing couldn't hide her worry. "Zhang Xiaojiang, you were too reckless earlier! They did it on purpose, this is a case of kicking someone while they're down! If we lose the tournament, our Lei Guang Tang will be finished! Twenty pieces of mid-grade spirit stones, two hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones - this is equivalent to our Lei Guang Tang's annual storage!"

  No need to mention Hu Jing's words, Zhang Xiaojiang had already woken up. That scoundrel, Heng Shandang, was not only a rascal but also a shameless one, and he actually set a trap for him.

  "What can I do? I've already said what I wanted to say. Can I take it back?" Zhang Xiaojiang suddenly grasped at the last straw.

  "At that time, either don't promise, or if you promise... it's probably no good." Wang Meng said.

  "Even if we back down now, the other side probably won't let it go, and things will get out of hand. This matter will still affect the elder, after all, no one forced us at the time. If you were an ordinary disciple, that would be fine, but you're Wan Jing's closed-door disciple, which involves Elder Wan's dignity."

  Hu Jing sighed, impulsiveness is the devil, in the world of cultivators, the most important thing is calmness.

  Zhang Xiaojiang gritted his teeth, "I got myself into this trouble, I'll take it on myself, and won't drag others down with me!"

  Wan Jing considers Zhang Xiaojiang as her reborn parents. She can bear the shame herself, but how could she also implicate her master?

  Bang...

  Zhang Xiaojian's forehead was hit by an exploding watermelon, "What are you carrying?!"

  Wang Meng smiled and said, "There's a solution to every problem, Xiao Jing. Is there a time limit for this battle?"

  "Generally speaking, the longest preparation time is also half a year," said Hu Jing, but half a year was of no avail.

  "It's been half a year, maybe there's still a chance." Wang Meng said, "Since things can't be undone, let's face it. Looking at the situation, no one will help us. I have three people here, and if we think of a way to get two more, that'll do."

  "Wooo, Brother Meng, you really are my brother!" Zhang Xiaopang immediately pounced over.

  "Spare me, spare me! Save your energy and focus on practicing instead. Otherwise, when the time comes, you'll get beaten up so badly that even your own mother won't recognize you."

  Hu Jing bit her lip, "Even if we gather enough people, how can we gather so many spirit stones? No one will help us."

  This is a matter that cannot use the inventory of Leigong Hall, let alone raise funds. The current situation of Leigong Hall is not good, and many disciples are thinking of finding their own way out. Who would still take out their precious life spirit stones to invest in this useless battle?

  "Alright, I'll think of a way for the Spirit Stone. As for people, I'll find two more, you guys just train well and take charge when the time comes."

  Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang stared blankly at Wang Meng, twenty pieces of medium-grade spirit stone, two hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stone, even the elders would find it difficult to deal with this.

  "Meng Ge, do you have a way?" Although Zhang Xiao Pang believed in Wang Meng's abilities, he also thought this was an absurd idea.

  "Secrets, anyway won't sell you out, even if I did, I'd sell Xiaojing instead, haha."

  Wang Meng's joke did ease the tension between the two a bit.

  The departing Hengshan Tang's younger brother was also laughing loudly, "Elder brother, your performance is really convincing, those idiots from Leigong Tang actually believed that the Exploding Fire Symbol was real! Exploding Fire Symbol, haha, it's too ridiculous!"
