Chapter 2022: Bet (Part 1) Chapter 2022: Bet (Part 1) Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation How could they not laugh? This person was a joke! Ye Chen ignored the two’s laughter and continued to speak in an indifferent tone. “Do you want to bet?” “You want to bet?” Wu Xian finally stopped smiling and looked at Ye Chen mockingly. “Of course, but what are you going to bet?” “You have to agree to these terms. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you’ll go back on your word.” Ye Chen looked at Wu Xian with a half-smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t go back on my word. You shouldn’t go back on your word either. If I lose, I’ll follow you to the Myriad Demon Valley. What do you think?” “It’s not enough,” Wu Xian shook his head, feigning dissatisfaction. “Then tell me, what else do you want?” Ye Chen sneered. Wu Xian thought for a moment and smiled at Ye Chen. “Why don’t you kneel before me in front of everyone?” His gaze was cold. This would be Ye Chen’s punishment for provoking the Myriad Demon Valley. If a disciple of the Mystic Moon Sect knelt down to him, it would be a good story for him to tell in the Myriad Demon Valley. He thought that Ye Chen would panic, retreat, and find an excuse. However, to his and Wang Zixin’s surprise, Ye Chen’s expression was calm. He nodded without hesitation. This almost made him laugh again. It seemed that this person was really arrogant and confident. Ye Chen did not care about the others’ reactions. He stared at Wu Xian and said, “What about you? If you lose, kneel down too?” Wu Xian laughed. “Of course! It has to be a fair bet, after all.” At this moment, Wang Zixin tugged at Wu Xian’s hand. “Ye Chen’s strength is not as simple as you think. He may be a Creation realm expert, but he has the strength of a peak-level Star Aperture realm expert.” Wang Zixin had witnessed his previous battle. However, Wu Xian waved his hand and said, “It’s not enough to have strength when it comes to opening the moon gate. He also needs to have the requisite cultivation level. No matter how heaven-defying he is, his dantian can’t be much stronger than mine…” “But…” Wang Zixin hesitated. “Cut the crap! I’ll make the decision on this matter!” Wang Zixin sighed and shook her head, no longer saying anything. … The few of them advanced slowly along the queue. Finally, Ye Chen and the others arrived in front of the moon gate. Ye Chen walked toward the magnificent crystal gate. The surrounding crowd watched Ye Chen walk toward the Moon Gate and began to discuss what was happening. They had already seen Ye Chen, but they thought that he had come with someone and needed someone to open the gate for him. However, they did not expect Ye Chen to actually be in the one opening the gate. How could a Creation realm expert possibly push open the moon gate? “Who is that person? With such a low cultivation level, he wants to push open the moon gate? Isn’t he afraid of embarrassing himself?” “Maybe he just wants to challenge it? Anyway, challenging the moon gate doesn’t cost money.” “Hehe, he’s overestimating himself. If he wants to challenge it, he should wait until he reaches the Star Aperture realm, right? Creation realm? Pfft!” When Wu Xian heard everyone’s evaluation of Ye Chen, his face lit up with joy. He suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly, “Everyone, please don’t take offense. This Junior Brother here insisted on making a bet with me to see who can keep the moon gate open for the longest time.” Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and then burst into laughter. “Hahahaha, this Creation realm expert wants to gamble with a Star Aperture realm expert? What a joke!” “Sure, sure. I’ll remember this kid. In the future, the title of the number one idiot in the academy will be his to hold.” “Hahaha, there’s going to be a good show. I wonder what their bet is?” Wu Xian listened to everyone’s ridicule and revealed a satisfied expression. This was the effect he wanted. He did not want to end up with the reputation of forcing his junior brother to kneel. On the other hand, Ye Chen’s expression remained calm. He did not take the discussions of the crowd to heart. At this moment, he was already standing in front of the moon gate. “I shall use this opportunity to test the power of the new Mystic Flame.” He closed his eyes and adjusted the spiritual energy in his body. A purple flame surged from his dantian into his blood vessels. With a loud boom, purple light burst forth and a purple flame burned on the surface of Ye Chen’s body. The students who were closer to Ye Chen could not help but shiver. This purple flame was actually emitting a chilly aura! Soon, the purple flames vanished. A flame pattern appeared on Ye Chen’s forehead. At the same time, purple runes shone on his body. As for Ye Chen, he looked at his palm with excitement and delight in his eyes. The upgraded Mystic Flame did not disappoint him! Now, the power the Burning Blood Technique provided him was simply too powerful! He could feel the violent power in his body. The power was so great that it could move mountains! Ye Chen looked at the moon gate in front of him and felt eager to try. Wu Xian and Wang Zixin looked nervously at Ye Chen, who had undergone a shocking transformation. Their hearts raced. Wang Zixin’s expression was a little ugly. She asked Wu Xian anxiously, “I keep feeling that something is wrong.” Wu Xian’s expression was also ugly, but he still maintained his composure and said, “Don’t be nervous. In terms of strength, our Myriad Demon Valley has never been afraid of anyone.” “If I use the secret techniques of the Myriad Demon Valley, my strength can be greatly improved. It’s a world of difference from my usual state!” Could it be that she was really afraid of him? “However, generally speaking, I will only use that secret technique in a life-and-death situation…” He looked at Ye Chen’s back hesitantly. In the end, a determined look appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, “The stronger Ye Chen is, the more likely it is that he killed the Young Master in the Nether Canyon.” “If his performance really poses a threat to me, I will completely defeat him and trample his pride under my feet even if I have to use the secret technique!” Wu Xian was also completely determined at this moment. Although the secret technique of the Myriad Demon Valley was extremely powerful, and would even allow him to forcefully advance to the point where he could defeat most Star Aperture realm experts, it could only be used twice in a lifetime. Unless it was a life-and-death situation, the cultivators from the Myriad Demon Valley would not use this secret technique. Still, if Ye Chen performed well enough, Wu Xian was willing to use it. He had to defeat Ye Chen in this bet at the Moon Gate. He wanted Ye Chen to kneel before him in front of everyone! After all, if he really lost and had to kneel in front of so many people, especially to a lowly commoner like Ye Chen, that feeling would be worse than death for him and the Myriad Demon Valley! He would never do that! As for Wang Zixin, she was completely relieved when she heard that Wu Xian had decided to use the secret technique. The secret technique of the Myriad Demon Valley was very famous in the Lingwu Continent. Only those with the bloodline of the Myriad Demon Valley could use it.
