30: Chapter 30: Challenging Your Entire Fortune

"Are you Chun Xiaobai?" a black-faced Disciple who looked like a lackey behind the lead Disciple pointed at him and asked.

Chun Xiaobai quickly hid his hands behind his back, secretly circulating his power, ready to flip the table and break out at any moment, but his Face remained calm as he said,

"Yes, This Great K... I am. Who are you?"

"Good, that's who we're looking for!" The black-faced Disciple looked him up and down, then said in a haughty manner.

"Our Senior Brother Cheng has taken a liking to your Immortal Cave and has come specifically to challenge you!"

Chun Xiaobai let out a sigh of relief. Damn it, if you want to challenge me, just challenge me; why make such a big scene?

You scared This Great King to death!

He pointed at the two Disciples in purple robes and asked, "And who are these two?"

"They are Senior Brothers from the Law Enforcement Hall, here to maintain order," the black-faced Disciple replied.

He looked around and found that on the streets to the left and right, there were indeed many Disciples gathering to watch the show. Fang Yuan was also in the crowd, looking at him nervously.

Chun Xiaobai immediately understood and fixed his gaze on the male Disciple in the lead who was waving a folding fan.

This guy's strength in the Sect must be decent, and he clearly had quite a bit of popularity. That's why his challenge attracted so many people to watch, and why the Sect specifically dispatched Law Enforcement Disciples to maintain order.

Next, he glanced at Zhao Wuyuan, who was hiding behind the crowd, staring at him expressionlessly.

Yesterday, he had already seen that this brat would not give up.

Sure enough, this arrogant guy challenging him definitely had something to do with him.

"In the future, when I encounter people like this outside, I must crush them immediately. I must never give them a chance to call for backup."

Chun Xiaobai secretly made up his mind.

A challenge within the Sect's rules, legal and compliant.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt like he was losing out.

If he lost, his Immortal Cave would be gone.

If he won, it was a pure waste of energy, and he wouldn't gain any benefits.

Chun Xiaobai scratched his head and then asked directly, "So, can I refuse?"

"Uh—!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers were all stunned.

The fame of this guy defeating Zhao Wuyuan with a single sword strike yesterday had spread throughout the entire Outer Sect. They had expected to witness his swordsmanship, but who would have thought that as soon as the challenge arrived, he would just chicken out?

Is this really that sharp, awe-inspiring Sword Cultivator?

The male Disciple in the lead, Cheng Haoxuan, was also stunned.

The Dao of the Sword Cultivator is to press forward without hesitation.

Better to die standing than to live on one's knees!

Once the sword goes soft, the heart becomes timid, and the path of the Dao comes to an end.

This guy whom Zhao Wuyuan praised to the heavens could actually say the words "I don't accept"?

Zhao Wuyuan's brows also furrowed. Yesterday, this guy didn't even bother using spiritual power when sparring with him. Today, his good brother came to challenge him, and he just conceded?

Where does that leave his Face?

However!

Chun Xiaobai suddenly spoke again, "It's not that This Great King doesn't want to challenge you, but I feel that a mere Immortal Cave isn't enough to make you take this seriously."

"What if you realize you can't beat me and just give up? What's the point in that?"

"How about this? Let's add a wager. That way, everyone will take it seriously when we fight, right?"

Cheng Haoxuan's folding fan snapped shut with a "swish," and his expression darkened.

Isn't this clearly looking down on him?

If he didn't accept this wager, wouldn't it mean he was afraid of him?

He immediately said in a deep voice, "Since Junior Brother Chun wants to add a wager, then let's add one!"

Chun Xiaobai was secretly delighted. These arrogant braggarts who call themselves Geniuses really can't handle a provocation.

He immediately untied a Storage Pouch from his waist and tossed it into his hand. "This is This Great King's entire net worth! If I lose, the Immortal Cave is yours, and this Storage Pouch is yours too!"

"Entire net worth?!"

The surrounding crowd gasped.

One must know, a Disciple capable of living in a high-grade Immortal Cave definitely has a significant net worth. This bet was huge!

Cheng Haoxuan was suddenly in a bit of an awkward position.

If he lost, not only would his reputation as a Genius in the top hundred of the Outer Sect become a laughingstock, but he would also lose all the assets he had accumulated over ten years.

However, he was a Disciple ranked 95th on the Outer Sect's genius list, and furthermore, a true Sword Cultivator who had comprehended Sword Intent!

He looked at Chun Xiaobai and didn't sense even a shred of the sharpness belonging to a Sword Cultivator from him. Even if he had comprehended Sword Intent, he was probably just a beginner.

Otherwise, why had he never heard of this Sword Cultivator?

He looked at Zhao Wuyuan beside him, who was wearing an expectant look, then nodded and said arrogantly,

"Fine!"

He took the Storage Pouch off his own waist.

Chun Xiaobai's eyes instantly lit up with golden light!

This Storage Pouch was actually emitting a rich green glow!

Damn it, he was about to make a fortune!

He could tell that Cheng Haoxuan's aura was about the same as Zhao Wuyuan's; his cultivation level should also be that of a Qi Refining Level 8 Disciple.

If he added his own Blood Refining Level 2 strength, then activated "Berserk" mode, found the right opportunity, and knocked him down with one punch, it shouldn't be a big problem!

If he went the sneak attack route, it should be effortless.

However, when it comes to making money, one should always focus on long-term gains. His eyes rolled, and he instantly came up with a strategy, then slapped his thigh.

"Good!"

Immediately after, he scanned the crowd and found Fang Yuan.

"Come, come, Fatty Fang, come over here for a second!"

Fang Yuan squeezed out of the crowd, first cupped his hands respectfully towards Cheng Haoxuan, and then spoke to Chun Xiaobai.

"Senior Brother Chun, what are your orders?"

Chun Xiaobai slapped his own Storage Pouch into Fang Yuan's hand and then said to Cheng Haoxuan.

"What about yours?"

Cheng Haoxuan didn't dawdle either. He took out a long sword that was flashing with spiritual light, and then placed his own Storage Pouch into Fang Yuan's hand as well.

The crowd also consciously stepped back, clearing a large space in front of the Immortal Cave for the two to show off their skills, their eyes filled with anticipation.

A duel between two Sword Cultivators is not something you see often outside.

Missing any detail would be a huge loss.

Chun Xiaobai also raised his hand and waved it, taking out an ordinary-looking long sword from his Storage Pouch.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the long sword in his hand. Didn't this guy hand over all his Storage Pouches?

Where did he take the sword from?

Could it be that he has many tricks up his sleeve, and he has other storage spaces?

Cheng Haoxuan's mouth also twitched.

But he had enough confidence in his own swordsmanship.

He believed that in the entire Outer Sect, apart from those few Sword Prodigies in the top five of the genius list, no one was his opponent when it came to swordsmanship.

The two stood in the center of the arena.

Chun Xiaobai looked this guy over and could feel a tangible sense of danger from him.

If he relied on his true strength, he might really not be this person's opponent.

However.

He had the advantage of seasoned combat experience!

Chun Xiaobai turned his head to look and found that the two Law Enforcement Disciples were also standing on the side with their arms crossed, looking like they were just there to do their jobs.

Cheng Haoxuan pointed his long sword and was about to speak: "Junior Brother Chun, please..."

"Wait!"

Chun Xiaobai suddenly interrupted him and asked with a serious Face, "Um... if This Great King accidentally injures you, I won't have to pay compensation, right?"

A Law Enforcement Disciple spoke up, "Junior Brother Cheng Haoxuan has already registered the challenge with our Law Enforcement Hall. As long as no one is killed, the Sect will not hold anyone responsible."

Chun Xiaobai then continued to ask, "Then are there any rules for the challenge?"

"Rules?"

The young Law Enforcement Disciple thought about it. Challenges between Outer Sect Disciples happened every day, but he had never heard of any rules. He said directly,

"There are no rules, as long as you don't cause any deaths, it's fine."

"Then I can rest easy!"

Chun Xiaobai nodded heavily.
