Chapter 5 - A Miracle Created from Exercise and Hard Work (1/2)

“Laying down money….” The challenger’s voice sudden died down. Fifty bucks. A hundred bucks. These were considerable sums for a kid from a normal household. He had just lost fifty bucks, and he wanted to save a bit of money to buy a few potions and pills to help with his cultivation and hopefully get a breakthrough in his martial arts.

Everyone else had gone silent as well. Some people just liked to watch the excitement; they had no intentions of participating in this gamble where victory and defeat were uncertain. On the other hand, there were some who wanted to gamble, but they already lost all their money from the previous gamble.

“Don’t have the money to gamble?” Qin Fen’s two sharp eyebrows slowly furrowed together. He looked at his opponent with a bit of disappointment. Forget it. It was better to save his strength. He would be able to make a bit more money by working tomorrow.

A moment of silence passed before Regal Propria spoke with dark expression, “I’ll lay down a hundred bucks! I’ll bet on your loss!”

Yet another hundred dollars! Qin Fen looked at Regal Propria with a bit of envy. It’s great to be a kid with a rich family. This fellow had mucked up nearly two hundred and fifty dollars in a short period of time this night. This was practically half a month’s of Qin Fen’s living expenses.

“A hundred bucks….” Qin Fen perked up with a smile.

Fighting is something that’s easy to get addicted to.

Qin Fen couldn’t recall who had said this quote, but he began to agree with it. The fight that happened not too long ago had ended far too quickly. It had been absolutely impossible for Qin Fen to fully enjoy the thrill of the fight. Since there was the chance to make money and fight at the same time, there was no reason for him to refuse.

Qin Fen studied the challenger for a moment and discovered that his opponent didn’t select to keep his data private. He fetched it to see:

ID: Zhao of the Mountains and Rivers

Proficient in the Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians, a paleo martial art

Decent in the Fist That Cleaves Rock and Shatters Jade, a fist form

Battle Record: Three hundred and sixty one wins, ninety-two losses, seven draws

Attained strength: Two-star

A paleo martial art bought with money? Qin Fen’s eyebrows shot up. Not all paleo martial arts were free. Most of the paleo martial arts deciphered from Atlantis had considerable might as well. To cultivate in them, one could only choose the path of spending money.

Qin Fen closed the data window, having gained a general understanding of the opponent before him. This was an opponent very well experienced in combat.

ID: Thirty-Six Hours

Cultivates in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, a paleo martial art

Decent in the Shaolin Arhat Fist, a fist form
