534: Chapter 534 The Servant Zhao Zhao

"Damn it, how can a single world not only produce a Divine Rank Heavenly God but also raise a Divine Rank Spirit Beast?"

"Where the hell does all this energy come from?"

"Unless—"

Everyone immediately thought of a possibility.

That was, Chen Yi had used the energy purple crystal on these Spirit Beasts!

Everyone spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. "Damn it, does he have to be so wasteful?"

Zhao Zhao stood in the crowd, her eyes wide with shock.

"Hua Liuli is a Heavenly God?"

"Isn't she an array eye?"

"I remember she was only Thirteenth Rank back then?"

"Just how does this Chen Yi train them?"

At the betting counter, the person in charge was completely dumbfounded.

With trembling hands, he began to tally up Zhao Zhao's winnings.

In this round, very few people had bet on Chen Yi.

Most had bet on his opponent!

After all, ten against one; who would dare believe that they could lose?

Yet—they lost again!

And they lost completely.

The figure reported by the person in charge almost made Zhao Zhao faint on the spot.

"Wi—winnings—two hundred and twenty energy purple crystals!"

Two hundred and twenty!

Adding her initial capital, she now had over five hundred energy purple crystals in her hands!

Zhao Zhao hugged the pile of crystals, her eyes crinkling into crescents from her smile.

"I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich—"

Hua Liuli's battle completely ended Chen Yi's journey through the Festival.

From then on, no one dared to bet against Chen Yi again.

No matter who the opponent was, or how many people fought against one.

Everyone bet on Chen Yi.

But with this, the betting became completely meaningless.

Because everyone was betting on the same side, and even if they won, they wouldn't get any money.

Chen Yi looked at the sparse few crystals on the betting counter and sighed helplessly.

"It seems my Festival ended in less than a day."

Zhao Zhao playfully nudged his arm from the side.

"Who told you to be so fierce? Over a dozen Fourteenth Tier, Tenth Stage Spirit Beasts, and one at the Divine Rank!"

"No one would dare bet against you anymore!"

"But do you know? The organizers have urgently changed the rules!"

"They don't allow any Divine Rank contract objects to participate in battles anymore!"

Chen Yi was speechless.

If he had known that winning a few consecutive matches would lead to this, he would have made The girls act a bit more convincingly.

It wouldn't have been a one-shot kill every single day.

That way, he might have been able to fleece them for a bit more.

But now that things had reached this point, there was nothing he could do.

He looked at the energy purple crystals in his hand.

A full five hundred!

That should be enough to Breakthrough to God Emperor, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Zhao suddenly leaned in.

She lowered her head, her little face slightly flushed, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Chen Yi—"

"Hm?"

"Um—could you lend me some energy purple crystals?"

"You still want to gamble?"

Zhao Zhao nodded.

"Mm—I will definitely win this time!"

She looked up, her eyes full of anticipation.

Chen Yi looked at her big, watery eyes, and then at her favorability, which had already increased to 70 points.

Without thinking, he took out twenty energy purple crystals and handed them to her.

"Take them!"

Zhao Zhao's eyes lit up!

"Thank you, Chen Yi! Hehehe~~"

She hugged the crystals and skipped away happily.

Chen Yi watched her back, smiled, turned around, and brought Emilia back to Zhao Zhao's residence.

It was time to Cultivate!

After returning to the residence, Chen Yi sat cross-legged and took out the first energy purple crystal.

"System, refine."

[Ding! Consumed 100 Enhancement Points!]

Familiar threads of energy surged out from the crystal and merged into Chen Yi's body.

He closed his eyes, feeling that pure energy circulating within his body.

Then, he froze.

The intensity of this energy—something was wrong!

He pulled up the System panel to check the changes in his attributes.

It only increased by less than 2,000 points?

Chen Yi blinked.

Two thousand points?

That's not right!

Previously, during the True God stage, one energy purple crystal could increase it by over 7,000 points!

Why was it only two thousand points now?

He refined another one.

It was still less than two thousand points.

Chen Yi fell silent.

He looked at the remaining three hundred-plus energy purple crystals in his hand, and then at his goal.

To Breakthrough to Ancient God, his 2D attributes needed to reach one million points.

He was currently at 210,000.

He was still 790,000 away from one million.

At two thousand points per crystal, he would need nearly four hundred!

He had just over four hundred.

In other words, he would only barely be able to reach the Ancient God threshold after refining all these crystals.

Chen Yi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had originally thought he was among the top tier of the wealthy.

Four hundred energy purple crystals, placed in the Void Realm, would be enough for an ordinary Evil Thought Entity to spend for hundreds of thousands of years!

In the end—it was nothing!

Furthermore, he didn't have enough Enhancement Points!

Refining one required 100 points!

Four hundred would require 40,000 points—

He only had a little over 10,000 now!

Moreover, looking at this process—

He was afraid that after breaking through to Ancient God, the improvement brought by the energy purple crystals would decrease even further.

What kind of joke is this?

Chen Yi held his forehead and sighed deeply.

Beside him, Emilia was having a much easier time Cultivating.

She had her eyes closed, with a faint purple light surrounding her body.

The light pulsed rhythmically, and with every pulse, a wisp of energy surged out from the crystal and merged into her body.

Chen Yi could feel that she was trying to master the method of Energy Guidance on her own.

Last time, he had used Energy Guidance to help her Cultivate, allowing her to experience that feeling.

Now, she wanted to replicate it herself.

And—she seemed to have actually succeeded.

Chen Yi looked at her, somewhat surprised.

According to his estimation, it would take Emilia several days to refine one energy purple crystal now.

But one every few days—this speed was still a bit too slow!

Of course!

If those world malice like Zhao Zhao heard Chen Yi complaining that one every few days was too slow, they would definitely vomit blood.

They had to calculate the time to refine one in years!

And you, on the other hand, think a few days is too slow?

Do you have to be so humble-braggy?

Chen Yi shook his head and did not disturb Emilia!

He also continued to refine!

Although he didn't have enough Enhancement Points, he would refine as much as he could!

Just as Chen Yi was about to start Cultivating.

A voice suddenly exploded in his mind!

The voice was not the System's notification sound, but the Heavenly Dao rules of the Void Realm!

[Zhao Zhao owes twenty energy purple crystals, is unable to repay, and has now become your slave!]

[You can perceive Zhao Zhao's current status through the Slave Mark!]

Chen Yi was stunned.

"What the hell?"

He widened his eyes in disbelief.

He did indeed lend Zhao Zhao twenty energy purple crystals.

But when did she become his slave?

A slave, isn't that just like those world malice like ZERO?

Zhao Zhao had become like that too?

Before he could recover, the voice continued.

[The debt rights for Zhao Zhao have been transferred!]

[This object is no longer your slave, and the energy purple crystals she owes will be sent to you via mail!]
