Chapter 277 - Cloud & Light Steps (1/2)

Edited by Lord Immortal

Yue Zhongtian was taken aback, and his expression warped.

At this time, a group of nearby practitioners also vaguely guessed Yue Zhongtian’s plan, and they all showed a different color.

Only now did they realize that the arrogance Yue Zhongtian had just shown was merely an act, and the real purpose was to make this bet!

But what they never expected was that Lin Xun had agreed to such an obvious ploy!

Was Lin Xun really confident enough to eliminate Yue Zhongtian from the platform in one blow?

Some practitioners who knew Yue Zhongtian’s skill couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. Lin Xun might have absolute confidence in his fighting ability. Still, if he regarded Yue Zhongtian as easy prey, he would be terribly wrong.

Others might not know, but Yue Zhongtian had practiced a secret method named Cloud & Light Steps. Once it was put into practice, the cultivator would move sophisticatedly like clouds and shadows, flickering with light. It was extremely magical.

Especially in evading attacks, it could play an incredible role.

Under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible for Lin Xun to drive Yue Zhongtian away from the platform in one move!

Lin Xun would fail this bet!

This was the thought of many people.

Others scolded Yue Zhongtian for his shamelessness. They never thought that such an arrogant fellow would have such a sinister mind.

And people like Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, and Yuan Shu were wondering whether Lin Xun could endeavor to repel Yue Zhongtian, who was proficient in the Cloud & Light Steps. The hope was slim.

Of course, they did not think that in the second round of assessment, Yue Zhongtian could be Lin Xun’s opponent, but at least in the bet, Lin Xun had almost no chance of winning.

…

Over time, the battles in the field remained brilliant and fierce, keeping the emotions of the audience thoroughly boiling.

Off the court, Lin Xun and Yue Zhongtian’s gamble immediately raised a lot of uproars.

“This bet is obviously a trap; how could Lin Xun agree with it. I really don’t know whether he is a foolish or a daring practitioner.”

Some people were perplexed.

“It’s ridiculous to think he can knock out Yue Zhongtian in one blow! Lin Xun is obviously looking for trouble!”

Somebody sneered.

“Lin Xun really likes to be in the limelight, doesn’t he? In the first round of assessment, he caused a ruckus by his cooperation with Golden Hall. Now, he makes a new bet! Would he die without being in the spotlight?”

Still, others disdained it.

In short, when the stakes for the bet were known, few people believed that Lin Xun could pull this off.

Even Liu Wujun, the governor sitting on the White Jade platform, was silent for a while when he got wind of it. What was Lin Xun thinking?

Wel Lingzhen, Du Dongtuo, and other big shots also looked at each other. It was their first time to hear such an outrageous bet. On the contrary, Lin Xun even agreed to it.

At this time, Lin Xun seemed very relaxed, looking at the battle in the field as if he had not been affected by what had just happened.

When complying with Yue Zhongtian, Lin Xun already knew that since the opponent put forward such an absurd condition, he must have some confidence that he could  survive his blow and win this gamble.

Otherwise, Yue Zhongtian would certainly not do so.

However, Lin Xun was not worried about this. Since he dared to promise, he also had his own way to win this bet!

…

When the fourth batch of practitioners began to enter the arena, all eyes were in the same direction, No. 49 Platform!

Lin Xun and Yue Zhongtian were going to fight against each other there.

Everyone wanted to see if Lin Xun could finally make it. After all, the bet was ridiculous. Everyone wondered where Lin Xun’s confidence came from and how he dared to bear it.

On the stage, Yue Zhongtian’s face was decorated with a slight smile, appearing unruffled. He was so sure to win this bet!

Was Lin Xun kidding? Couldn’t he bear Lin Xun’s one trick?

Of course, Yue Zhongtian did not dare to be careless when facing Lin Xun. He had made this gamble because he knew that he was not Lin Xun’s opponent after a careful analysis. He did such profound calculations just to save some reputation.

Now that Lin Xun had accepted it, Yue Zhongtian would not miss this opportunity. He was even ready to go all out.

“Lin Xun, if you want to back off now, it won’t be too late.”

Yue Zhongtian said casually.

“I should have asked you this.”

Lin Xun smiled, “Have you ever thought that in case you lose, you’ll not only lose a bet. It will also make you lose your face and make you a joke in this test.”
