I've gambled! Today's third watch, please collect it!
"Haha!" After a brief moment of stunned silence, the young man in brocade, Lin Zhou, came to his senses, let out a loud laugh, and with a gloomy gaze, said in a cold voice: "You little brat, you've got guts, plenty of guts, daring to say something like that!"
"Alright then, I'll bet with you!"
"What if you lose?"
"What do you want to bet on?" Li Ke's eyebrows rose, her eyes fixed tightly on the brocade-clad young man Lin Zhou, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"Do you have silver lottery tickets?"
The young man in brocade clothes laughed loudly and took out a bundle of silver notes from his bosom, with several hundred sheets, each worth one hundred taels, adding up to nearly thirty thousand taels.
"There's 30,000 taels of silver here, dare you bet with me?"
"But if you can't come up with that many silver tickets, I'll bet an arm! If Wind Second Knife beats me at the Sect's Grand Competition in seven days, these 30,000 taels of silver will be yours. But if I win and you don't have that much silver, then you'll lose an arm!"
"Is it a good deal to buy an arm for 30,000 taels of silver?"
The young man in brocade, Lin Zhou, had a mocking gaze in his eyes. The 30,000 taels of silver were not something that just any soldier could take out. These 30,000 taels of silver were actually purchased by his family to buy elixirs for him to stabilize his powers so he could become one of the core disciples in the upcoming sect competition seven days later. But now, he was using all this silver to mock Li Ke instead.
"Heavens! 30,000 taels of silver notes! Lin Zhou is indeed the young master of the sixth-rank family in Hanshui Prefecture! He took out so many silver notes at once!"
"Yes! Thirty thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid even in the entire inner sect, only a few top-ranked disciples can easily take it out!"
"Haha, you're wrong, Lin Zhou Shixiong dares to take out so many silver tickets, he must have a foolproof plan in mind. To deal with someone whose cultivation is only at the second level of the Refining Soldier Realm, and still uses a trashy Broken Soul Fish Patterned Carving Knife, do you think Lin Zhou Shixiong will lose?"
"That's right, what you said is correct, if I could bet on the outside, I would also want to bet!"
"I think so too, isn't this just making easy money?"
Many sect disciples have already begun to discuss it enthusiastically, the young man in brocade clothes Lin Zhou suddenly took out 30,000 taels of silver notes, making their eyes turn red. Most of the people here are named disciples, outer door disciples and inner door disciples, they don't have much silver on them, so naturally they want to do something that can earn them silver for free.
"Want to bet on the outside?"
Li Ke heard the conversation of other sect disciples, and smiled lightly in his heart. Although Caidao's skills were low and his martial soul was poor, he now had the Xuan Tong Caidao and the Fēngmó Dàofǎ. As long as Caidao himself could work hard to cultivate and comprehend the essence of the Fēngmó Dàofǎ, Li Ke believed that in seven days' time, at the sect's grand competition, Caidao still had a chance of winning.
"Alright, I'll bet with you!"
Li Ke's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he gazed at Lin Zhou, the young man in brocade clothes, and spoke with utmost certainty.
"It's just 30,000 taels, isn't it? I have a high-grade iron-level black iron horse registered at the outer gate, if you win, that black iron horse is yours! A high-grade iron-level black iron horse is worth 100,000 taels of white silver, and the remaining 60,000 taels will be used for side bets!"
"Hei Sha Tie Ma? Tie Ji Gao Jie?"
Translation: "Black Iron Horse? High-level Iron Rank?"
Brocade-clad young master Lin Zhou's eyebrows furrowed as soon as he heard Li Ke's words. A high-grade black iron horse like the one in front of him was extremely valuable, and just any ordinary one could be sold for 100,000 taels of silver.
"Is he a high-ranking Iron Knight with a Black Iron Horse? What... He has a Black Iron Horse? Good heavens, is this true?"
"Who's going to check the outer gate registration?"
The preciousness of the Iron-tiered High-rank Metal Beast, Black Slaughter Iron Horse, is truly astonishing. A single Iron-tiered High-rank Black Slaughter Iron Horse is extremely difficult to tame, but once tamed, riding it allows for incredible speed, covering over 750 miles in a day.
Li Ke surprisingly had a high-ranking iron-level black iron horse, and the news instantly shocked many of the Double Blade Sect's disciples. After hearing the conversation, several inner sect disciples rushed towards the outer sect registration office.
Soon, several inner disciples rushed back in a hurry, shouting while running: "It's true, it's true! There is indeed a black iron horse at the outer gate registration office. It's an iron-level high-ranking horse with a shiny black iron body, what a great iron horse!"
"Yes! So cool! If it were mine, it would be even better!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ke chuckled and looked at Lin Zhou, the young man in brocade clothes, saying: "How's that? Are you satisfied with this bet?"
"Li Ke, little brother, isn't this...not quite right?"
Before Lin Zhou, a young man in brocade clothes, could react, the kitchen knife shouted out Li Ke's name.
The kitchen knife was filled with excitement at this time, and Li Ke had actually bet a high-grade metal beast, Hei Sha Tie Ma, worth 100,000 taels of white silver for him. A bill of 100,000 taels of silver, what concept is this? It's equivalent to the total income of a sixth-rank family for two years.
Although he was very unhappy with the ridicule of Lin Zhou, a young man in brocade clothes, 100,000 taels of silver were too great for him. Moreover, he also knew the gap between himself and Lin Zhou, one had a cultivation base of two heavy weights, while the other had already reached four heavy weights last year, plus the innate difference in martial soul, he knew that he didn't have even half a chance of winning.
But thinking of Li Ke's unwavering gaze earlier, Caidao's heart hesitated.
Li Ke knew his own strength best, and at this moment, he hesitated. Looking at Li Ke's gaze, it was also full of hesitation.
"Hei Sha Tie Ma is mine!"
The young man in brocade clothes saw the faces of those inner door disciples filled with joy, and his heart burst out laughing. A high-grade black iron horse had always been his best mount.
Every time he thought of himself riding on the black iron horse with scales all over his body, holding a knife and galloping freely, his heart was surging.
"Feng Erdao, what's wrong? Are you afraid? Afraid of losing? Haha... I won't let you lose too badly, after all, my junior brother is going to give me a Black Iron Horse!"
"What a waste!"
The young man in brocade clothes burst out laughing, although his mouth said not to let the vegetable knife lose too badly, but looking into his eyes, it was a slow mockery, as if saying that dealing with a trash soldier soul guy, even if I don't take action, you're already very embarrassing.
At this time, Li Ke didn't say anything else. When Caidao called his name, he knew the hesitation in Caidao's heart. As a soldier, his path was always forward, never looking back.
The young man in brocade clothes repeatedly provoked the vegetable knife, and even broke Li Ke's bottom line. If the vegetable knife still wants to stay out of this and choose to escape when faced with such provocation, then it proves that he has misjudged the person.
The kitchen knife looked at the brocade-clothed young man Lin Zhou, listening to his words, and his whole body trembled violently. The brocade-clothed young man Lin Zhou had repeatedly humiliated him, thoroughly breaking through the bottom line in his heart. However, two years of hard training still left him far behind other inner disciples, making his heart very unsteady.
At this time, a sentence "Really useless" from the brocade youth completely triggered the blood nature hidden in his heart.
"Alright! I'll bet on it!"
