569: Victory or defeat

From a certain perspective, he was indeed a good teacher who protected his Disciples.

It's just a pity that some unreasonable people can easily lead their Disciples astray.

Everyone secretly complained in their hearts, but one by one, they all became well-behaved.

At the same time, on the arena, Wang Gou looked at the man opposite him.

He curled his lip.

"I don't care about that. Anyway, you've already lost. The outcome is decided once you fall off the arena. Are you trying to go back on your word with me?"

"Go back on my word? Didn't you go back on your word first? I, Jin Bao, have traveled the Immortal Realm, and what I value most is reputation. But you played such a trick on me, deliberately deceiving me into being careless. No, didn't you go back on your word first?"

The man spoke coldly.

His golden-threaded robe fluttered up and down as he continued to shout.

It ignited an aura of being fully unleashed.

Clearly, this matter had truly angered him.

After all, he had thought victory was within reach, but it was suddenly snatched away by someone else.

No one could accept that.

However, in the eyes of the audience, it was clear that he was being somewhat unreasonable.

Wang Gou was also a bit speechless and couldn't help but retort.

"Did I make you careless? Weren't you clinging to me and attacking? Is it only allowed for me to take a beating, but not allowed for me to fight back?"

"I don't care about that. This match doesn't count; it must start over."

The commotion here quickly attracted the referee.

"What's going on?"

Qingfeng Daoist spoke coldly.

He looked at the two, his expression not good.

He didn't care who was right or wrong, but at such a critical moment, for something like this to happen was truly troublesome for him.

Wang Gou did not speak.

Jin Bao on the opposite side, however, spoke loudly.

"This person cheated. He's clearly not weak, but he deliberately pretended to be a novice, and then played the pig to eat the tiger, causing me to be careless and not notice him knocking me off the arena. This cannot be counted as his victory. I demand a rematch."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qingfeng Daoist's brows furrowed.

Logically speaking, there was no such reasoning.

Clearly, being knocked off the arena meant losing.

Was being careless not his own problem?

However, thinking of the Emperor's plan this time.

Qingfeng Daoist raised an eyebrow.

Then he looked at Wang Gou, "What do you say?"

Wang Gou was stunned.

This kind of thing still needs me to say something?!

Shouldn't a solution be given immediately?

Moreover, he clearly won.

What's this about being careless or not careless?

It was very obvious that this old man in front of him intended to be biased.

No matter what he said, the final outcome would most likely be a rematch. Wang Gou's eyes darted around.

He immediately spoke softly.

"A rematch is certainly possible, but I have one condition. If you don't agree, I won't accept it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Bao immediately became anxious.

"You say, as long as it's not excessive, I can agree to it."

"Alright, the entry fee for this city is 100 Spirit Stones. A rematch would consume a lot of Spiritual Qi for me, so you'll have to give me 1 million Spirit Stones. Otherwise, I won't agree."

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone present gasped.

1 million?

Has he gone mad?

Almost subconsciously, many people stood up.

Jin Bao also paused for a moment before coming back to his senses, his face filled with anger.

"Are you messing with me?"

"I'm not messing with you!"

Wang Gou waved his hand indifferently.

"If you can't produce it, then you can step down yourself."

Qingfeng Daoist's expression also became somewhat displeased.

After all, this amount was truly too much.

Basically, the vast majority of people couldn't produce it.

Now it was needed for compensation.

Even if this person in front of him didn't have a chance to win the generous top 10 rewards, this single sum of Spirit Stones would probably not be much less.

His cunning was indeed profound.

Just as Jin Bao was in a difficult situation,

Jin Bao's Revered Master on the arena waved his hand.

A Storage Pouch flew over out of thin air.

"Here's 1 million. I believe in my Disciple's strength. As long as you don't play tricks, my Disciple will definitely win."

"However, since you've made a demand, I must also make one. If you lose, these 1 million will be returned in full."

His voice was extremely cold and heavy.

Everyone around could feel a chill.

And Qingfeng Daoist on the arena looked even more displeased.

What was this?

It was clearly bullying.

Apparently, he believed that the Wang family Cultivator could not win at all.

He was just putting out the 1 million Spirit Stones as a bet.

He had no intention of giving it to the other party at all.

This was a bit excessive.

Presumably, as long as Wang Gou was somewhat normal, he would absolutely not agree.

The difficulty of mediating increased.

Qingfeng Daoist also felt a bit annoyed in his heart.

But just when he thought it was impossible, Wang Gou suddenly spoke.

"Alright, but it's agreed that there will be no cheating this time. If I win, both the spot and the Spirit Stones belong to me."

"All Fellow Daoists present can bear witness."

Among the crowd, Wang Dong quietly watched this scene.

He naturally saw that Wang Gou had been hiding his strength all along.

So he hadn't intervened before.

But he wasn't doing nothing either.

Instead, he quietly placed a wisp of his spiritual sense on the Revered Master who had just spoken.

As long as he found an opportunity, he would definitely let the other party know what it meant for human hearts to be treacherous.

Wang Gou's sudden agreement surprised everyone.

It clearly sparked a lot of discussion.

But it didn't last too long; everyone quickly shut their mouths.

A new round of combat began again.

Both sides stood firm, occupying a corner of the arena.

Jin Bao launched the first attack.

A large cloud of black smoke rushed towards Wang Gou.

Immediately followed by rays of intensely hot fire, combined with the black mist, it almost completely sealed off the entire arena, leaving no room for movement.

Wang Gou, to survive on the arena, had to meet force with force.

This was an overt strategy.

Jin Bao was convinced that Wang Gou was just a weakling.

The reason he won the previous round was mainly because Jin Bao was careless and didn't react in time.

Allowing the opponent to complete the charging of a powerful Move.

But now, he was constantly keeping a close eye on the opponent's movements.

It could be said that he ensured there were no dangerous actions.

He even went all out from the start, making it impossible for Wang Gou to have any chance of victory.

Many people present also booed.

Clearly, they all saw this point.

However, accepting the rematch was Wang Gou's own decision.

They didn't say much either.

Wang Gou did indeed jump around as they expected.

He was even almost forced into a dead end in the arena.

But just when everyone thought the outcome was decided,

Something unexpected happened.

Wang Gou suddenly said the word 'Dao'.

The next moment, the intensely hot ray that Jin Bao had shot out.

Instantly turned a corner and shot back.

Boom!

Jin Bao had no defense whatsoever.

The sudden attack made him instantly fall to the ground.

In an instant, the entire venue was in an uproar; everyone was stunned.
