"You dont have to provoke me, provoking me is meaningless. I just ask, whats the stake?"

  "Cousin brother, dont agree with him!" At this time, Lin Fengyuan also spoke up, facing Zhang Cang, her momentum seemed a bit weak.

  Lin Ming waved his hand, indicating he had a few tricks up his sleeve.

  "Nature is the true yuan stone. If you lose, then the ten true yuan stones belong to me. If I lose, hehe, Ill pay you twenty!"

  "Alright, you said I could choose the time and place earlier. I choose the martial arts arena. As for the time, lets set it at 3 oclock in the afternoon a month from now."

  "A month?" Zhang Cang was taken aback, not expecting Lin Ming to set the time so far back. However, no matter how long it took, it was all useless. With his third-rate talent, the more time dragged on, the greater the gap between him and himself would become.

  "Alright, one month is just one month, let you live two more days." Zhang Cang looked at Lin Ming like a **, after all, he was a young and vigorous fool, unable to hold back his breath, eagerly giving himself a True Yuan Stone.

  Zhang Cang and Liu Ming left with a pleased smile, leaving Lin Wu shaking his head and sighing, "Younger brother, youre too impulsive. Newcomers to the Seven Xuanwu Sect are always full of confidence, but those old men, which one isnt a genius? And theyve been studying in the Seven Xuanwu Sect for so long... This Zhang Cang... Ah, never mind, just consider it a lesson bought with ten pieces of True Yuan Stone."

  Lin Ming smiled and said: "Thanks to Brother Wu for helping me out today, but I cant avoid fighting, otherwise it would weaken my momentum, go against my hearts desire, and be detrimental to my cultivation."

  Lin Ming changed his address from "brother of the same clan" to "martial brother", which also acknowledged Lin Wu. This Lin Wu is not bad, and it takes courage to stand up for oneself at this time.

  Lin Ming finished speaking and noticed that Wang Yanfeng was still standing beside him without leaving, at this moment, Wang Yanfeng was looking at him.

  Noticing Lin Ming looking over, Wang Yanfeng said: "Good luck."

  "Haha, you too." Because this time they stood on the same position, facing a common enemy, their relationship eased somewhat.

  "I wont lose, even if I temporarily lose, Ill win back later! Whether its Liu Mingxiang or you!" Wang Chenfeng said this and turned around, taking big strides to leave. Lin Wus words also reached Wang Chenfengs ears, and he had already realized that it might be very difficult for him to defeat Liu Mingxiang.

  But Wang Zhenfengs martial arts can defeat his body, but cannot defeat his mind, he cannot retreat without a fight.

  "This Wang Yanfeng has a heart that doesnt admit defeat, and his natural talent is good. In the future, he may become someone, but wanting to enter the sect, he still lacks a lot... The Tianyan Continent is vast and boundless, with countless people, and pursuing the ultimate in martial arts is really too difficult!"

  At this time, Lin Ming suddenly remembered something, "Right, Wu brother, does this kind of gambling fight often happen in previous years? This kind of thing, is it usually the newcomer who loses? Doesnt the Wu family have a corresponding system?"

  Lin Wudao: "No, the Wu Fu only stipulates that it is not allowed to intentionally cause injury or disability, and it is not allowed to cause death. As for other things, everything is up to personal discretion. Therefore, in the Seventh Xuan Wu Fu, various struggles are extremely fierce. The Seventh Xuan Wu Fu probably also enjoys seeing such struggles. However, although this is the case, bullying new people and winning their true yuan stones is still a rare occurrence. This will leave a very bad reputation, and generally, people with prestige who care about their own reputation and family reputation will not do such things."

  "Oh? So youre saying that both Liu Mingxiang and Zhang Cang have poor reputations?"

  "Liu Mingxiang has always been a rascal, but this guy... hes actually a ruthless person, having served in the army and killed many people. His character is hard to describe, he doesnt care about his reputation at all, does things recklessly, and its not surprising that hed engage in a fight with you."

  "Is that so...... Does this Cang know Zhu Yan?"

  "Zhu Yan? As far as I know, Zhang Cang and Zhu Yan are comrades-in-arms, they joined the army together. Whats with the question?"

  Lin Wu did not know about Zhu Yans conflict with Lin Ming, so he asked this question.

  "Nothing." Lin Ming let out a light breath, he naturally didnt want to bring up those matters with Lin Wu.

  It turned out that this was the case, and he had been wondering why Zhu Yan had not made a move. It turned out that this Zhang Cang was someone Zhu Yan had found, and Zhu Yan would not let him come to the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture unscathed. However, the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture was after all a subordinate prefecture of the Seventh Xuan Valley, which was a massive entity that towered above the imperial powers of all countries within tens of millions of miles. Because the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture was a transcendent existence in the Tianyun Nation, even the imperial family could not touch it by a single hair.

  As long as he is within the Seven Xuanwu Sect, Zhu Yan has no way to deal with himself. Even if its a post-heavenly expert, they wouldnt dare to commit murder in the Seven Xuanwu Sect, so Zhu Yan can only find someone to gamble through the channels that conform to the rules of the Seven Xuanwu Sect, and secretly make a move to severely injure himself, striking his own martial arts spirit.

  Let Zhang Cang, who is far superior to himself and also belongs to the same generation, crush himself, which is the most suitable candidate.

  But he also has to be crushed first!

  Lin Ming took a deep breath and slowly clenched his fists. He didnt expect that Zhu Yan had also joined the military, no wonder he could enter the Heavenly Palace with the strength of the third stage of Body Tempering, this strength was undoubtedly stronger than Zhang Cang!

  Its better this way, its more interesting.

  Lin Wu noticed Lin Mings subtle change in expression and asked, "Brother, dont you have a conflict with Zhu Yan?"

  Lin Ming nodded, "Alright then."

  "This..." Lin Wu heard this and felt a bit worried, "Brother, Im not trying to boost someone elses morale at the expense of my own prestige. This Zhu Yan defeated a disciple ranked 72 in Tianyi Academy when he was at the peak of his third stage of Body Refining, becoming a student of Tianyi Academy. And that disciples strength was just entering the fourth stage of Body Refining!"

  Lin Ming was slightly taken aback, the disciples of the Seven Xuanwu Sect who had just entered the fourth level of Body Tempering were not comparable to those outside, their strength was absolutely top-notch, yet they were still defeated by Zhu Yan with his peak third level Body Tempering strength, which showed just how powerful Zhu Yan was.

  "The Heavens Gate has a fixed number of 72 people. Generally, those who break through the fourth level of physical training have the strength to enter. The condition for entry is to defeat any student in the Heavens Gate, and then you can enter the Heavens Gate, while the defeated student will be eliminated. Every single person in the Heavens Gate is an elite, with a strength that surpasses the peak of the third level of physical training. Those who can defeat these elites are dragons among men. This Zhu Yan is absolutely a tough cookie, brother, if you go against him..."

  Lin Ming smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, Brother Wu."

  "Ah, best to resolve this conflict as soon as possible. Zhu Yan holds a high position in the Zhu family, and although hes not the eldest son, his abilities are outstanding. In the future, its not impossible that hell inherit the position of head of the household. You should know that the current head of the Zhu familys daughter is married into the imperial palace. A true man can yield and adapt; for a martial artist, the word endurance is also very important. When necessary, apologizing and making amends doesnt lose face, and turning hostility into friendship is also a happy outcome."

  "Hmm, I see." Lin Ming smiled slightly, just casually listening. He was of course clear about Zhu Yans position in the Zhu family; otherwise, he wouldnt have been able to get Lan Yunmu into the Seventh Imperial City. This kind of thing would at least require Zhu Yans aunt, who acted as a princess, to make an appearance.

  Nothings wrong, Ill leave first. Through this brief contact, Lin Ming understood Lin Wus character, he belonged to the type who considers many things before and after doing something. This kind of personality isnt bad, but if one practices martial arts, it will lack sharpness and it will be hard to achieve great results. No wonder he has such an unpleasant nickname.

  But Lin Wu is actually quite a decent person, worth getting to know.

  "Ive said all I need to say, brother. Be careful, those ten True Yuan Stones arent a big deal if you cant get them. The Lin family isnt short on money either. These things may be scarce, but they can still be bought. In the future, when youre valued by the family, some True Yuan Stones wont be a problem."

  Lin Ming smiled in his heart and nodded: "I know."
