Chapter 457 Gambling
“This hundred thousand year old right arm soul bone is passed down in my family. It requires the cultivation of a Titled Douluo to be absorbed.” Huo Yuhao handed over the soul bone in his hand. He was still conservative after all, because this was a god-level soul bone exploded by the Sky Blue Divine Dragon!
A hundred thousand year soul bone?! The whole audience was in an uproar, even the referee was stunned. As people from the Sun Moon Empire, they had never seen a hundred thousand year soul bone in their lives. How could they verify it?
Merck and Huang Zheng were shocked at first, then their faces were filled with ecstasy. The impact of the hundred thousand year soul bone was so great that even the evil soul masters in the VIP room of the center jumped up from the sofa.
"Hurry up and notify the deputy leader to come over!" Nangong Wan excitedly grabbed the shoulder of a subordinate and shook him continuously. The supreme leader was in seclusion perfecting her innate soul guide, and Zhongli Wu was invited to the palace by Xu Tianran to discuss important matters. The only one who could take charge was Feng Ling.
Then, Nangong Wan, as the leader of Xishui League, appeared on the competition stage. After revealing his identity, he and the other three referees looked at the soul bone over and over again, and sensed it again, with joy on their faces. Especially Nangong Wan, he wanted to steal the soul bone on the spot.
This ignorant kid actually dared to gamble with a hundred thousand year soul bone. Even if he has a big sect as his backing, can he still resist the pursuit of the Holy Spirit Church?
This soul bone has a green dragon-shaped structure, the surface is covered with delicate scales, and there are sharp claw-shaped protrusions at the joints. The overall lines are sharp and full of power.
Nangong Wan held it in his hand reluctantly and sensed it over and over again. He had seen soul bones of 100,000 years, but none of them were as good as this one. Maybe this was a soul bone of a ferocious beast.
The three referees looked at each other, but Merck was already a little impatient. He came over and said, "Can we announce it now? Don't be partial, otherwise, hmph!" The threat was self-evident.
The chief judge nodded, but Huo Yuhao spoke first: "Since it is a bet, then we should put up a corresponding stake. Do you think a carving knife ranked 59th is worth as much as a 100,000-year soul bone?"
"How can they not be equal? The most valuable thing on me is this Dark Azure Dragon, and the most valuable thing on you is this soul bone. They are both the most valuable, so how can they not be equal in value?" Merck relied on his background in the Xishui League and made specious arguments.
“Then I won’t gamble anymore!” Huo Yuhao said hatefully.
"Not betting anymore? No, it's too late, it's already been announced!" Merck immediately stopped him loudly.
"What a disgrace! What the hell are you doing in front of so many people? Do you think we are all fools?" Nangong Wan was so angry that he slapped him on the spot. Minglei Douluo who came along also had an ugly look on his face.
Seeing the teacher's face darken, Huang Zheng quickly offered his own carving knife to help his junior fellow apprentice, "In that case, take my carving knife as well. My carving knife ranks no less than the Dark Azure Dragon. The two carving knives combined..."
"Not enough." Huo Yuhao stared at them coldly.
"Then add mine. It's a gamble wherever you bet." Mu Xing took the 26th-ranked Fang of Nightmare from the waiter's tray and handed it to one of the referees.
Minglei Douluo cast a grateful look at Muxing, and glared at Merck fiercely. If it weren't for the Saint's rescue, with so many guests watching, it would definitely have a huge impact on the subsequent competition and gambling. If it affected the profits of Xishui League, the deputy leader would not let them go.
“My young friend, we in the Xishui League have always been based on integrity and will never use force to bully others. These three ranking knives should be worth the value of your soul bone.” Nangong Wan’s expression looked much better, and he spoke to Huo Yuhao in a friendly manner.
“Okay.” Huo Yuhao decided to quit while he was ahead. He actually got three ranking engraving knives in one night. This was far beyond his expectations and the task assigned by his teacher.
Nangong Wan smiled brightly, not even using a soul amplifier, he used his soul power to spread his voice throughout the venue: "Contestant No. 66's bet is a 100,000-year-old right arm soul bone, which is by no means less valuable than these three ranking knives. Okay, we have verified the bet. The Dark Azure Dragon and the other ranking knife will be temporarily handed over to No. 98 and No. 96, and this soul bone and the Fang of the Illusion Nightmare will be kept with us and will be given to the winner after the game. The bet between the two parties has been established. If either party regrets, they will be the enemy of Xishui League. We will do our best to fight to the death!"
With the stimulation of this little episode, gamblers placed bets more enthusiastically.
After Merck came to the soul guide production table opposite Huo Yuhao, a smile spread across his face: "You kid actually has a 100,000-year soul bone, that's great, it seems that your bet is very sincere!"
Huo Yuhao glanced at him and said, "It's not too late for you to regret now. Otherwise, if you lose three ranking knives in a row, will your elders let you go?"
Merck said sternly but cowardly: "It's not certain who will cry! You are dreaming if you want me to withdraw the bet. Weren't you very arrogant just now? Why are you so listless now? Stop talking nonsense. Although I am confident of winning, I will not underestimate you. Today I will definitely use my most proficient soul guide to deal with you, and I will not leave you any chance!" Minglei Douluo had already sent a message to him just now. If he lost, he would regret living in this world. Now he was in a dilemma. If he didn't succeed, he would be dead.
He knew that his teacher was not a good-tempered person. In fact, few evil spirit masters had gentle personalities, and even if there were, they were just pretending. In the past, a fellow disciple had his head smashed because he contradicted the teacher.
If he loses, his fate will definitely not be any better than that of his fellow disciple.
Rare metals and various refined precision metals used to make soul guides in the later competition were brought up. As the chief referee shouted the start of the competition, the soundproof shield rose instantly.
The six soul masters took action at the same time. There was no limit on the number of soul guides that could be made in this competition. In other words, you could make as many soul guides as you could within a limited time. How to choose the number and power would depend on the soul masters' own combination.
Huo Yuhao’s eyes were extremely serious. Although his opponent was only a level six soul engineer who possessed a ranking knife, and was far inferior to him in strength, he still understood the principle that even a lion would use all its strength to fight a rabbit.
A faint golden light shone from Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he touched his forehead with his right hand. The green and life-giving Blade of Judgment was already in his hand. Since Merck had used the Ranking Carving Knife, he would also use it, striving to crush his opponent in all aspects.
Outside the competition stage, the host exclaimed almost the moment Huo Yuhao took out the ranking knife: "Wow! Dear guests, look, what did our soul guide No. 66 take out? A jade-green knife. From my angle, the knife in his hand looks like it was carved from a gem. It's very dazzling! It's a green color full of the breath of life! It's so beautiful. Our contestant No. 66 is indeed a man of great talent. No wonder he dared to bet against contestant No. 98."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the gamblers who had bet on Merck suddenly turned ugly.
