Chapter 36: Betting
As the voice came, Ning Chen looked towards the door, only to see a young man who was about the same size as him standing at the door and looking at his side at the moment.
The young man was dressed in brocade and had an arrogant face, and at first glance he was the little master of a rich family.
Ning Chen didn't know the other party, frowned a little puzzled, and when the shopkeeper of the spirit weapon shop next to him saw the young man, he immediately said with a pleasant face.
"Young Master Xu is here, please inside, please inside."
Hearing this, Ning Chen was a little dumbfounded, thinking that this shopkeeper was not a Buddhist system, but a dog who looked down on people, and now a rich young master came, and licked it up in a slippery manner.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, this kid has a fancy to this knife, I want it", the young man known as Young Master Xu retracted his gaze and said to the shopkeeper who trotted in front of him.
"No problem, I'll go and wrap it up for you", the shopkeeper agreed, and said: "Let Young Master Xu run in person, so let's give you a nine-percent discount."
That Young Master Xu nodded, and didn't forget to give Ning Chen a look, which had a provocative meaning.
Seeing the shopkeeper running over and back, Ning Chen was a little speechless and said, "Boss, I took a fancy to it first, shouldn't it be first-come, first-served?" β
The boss took out a wooden box from under the counter, glanced at Ning Chen and said, "Boy, don't make trouble, that being said, but it's Young Master Xu, and he still dares to fight with him if he wants you?" β
Hearing this, Ning Chen subconsciously asked, "If he wants it, give it to him?" β
Saying that, Ning Chen looked at the young master Xu again, and said angrily: "Who are you, don't you understand the rules of first come and come first?" β
"Dare to talk to me like that, boy, are you looking for death?" Ning Chen's words were like a fuse, igniting the other party all of a sudden.
Seeing the other party's arrogance, Ning Chen was ...... at that time Slightly a little cowardly.
Well, just slightly, a little bit, not very imaginary.
This Young Master Xu will come to this spirit weapon shop, he must also be a fighter, looking at the boss's stuttering, he won't be a genius.
When he was hesitating, the old man said softly beside him: "Boy, Young Master Xu is already a fighter at the peak of bronze at a young age, I think you should get acquainted with each other and go quickly, annoyed that he has no good fruit to eat."
It turned out to be just a bronze dog, and the boss's words were like a reassuring pill, which made Ning Chen feel confident all of a sudden, and the bronze dog was cowardly, so he was not to be outdone.
"Get out of the way, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, I'm going to fix this knife."
You are more horizontal than you, you drag me even more, Ning Chen thought to himself, who wouldn't pretend to be forced.
"Why are you going to die for me......" Seeing that Ning Chen was not only uninteresting, but also dared to be so crazy, Young Master Xu couldn't help but be angry, and rushed towards Ning Chen directly without saying a word.
Seeing that the other party was about to fight if he didn't agree with him, Ning Chen put on a posture and waited solemnly, thinking that it was just right to come, and the martial arts I just learned were just trying to achieve the actual combat effect.
"Young Master Xu is angry, Young Master Xu is angry, this brawl is to be convicted", seeing that Ning Chen and Young Master Xu were about to make a move, the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped in the middle and persuaded.
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what the reason, if a fighter fights in public, he will be punished as the crime of disturbing the peace, and depending on the severity of the circumstances, the lightest sentence will be detention for 15 days.
Of course, this law is only for low-level fighters, for those high-level fighters, as long as there is no lawsuit for their lives, the government will at most order them to compensate for the corresponding losses, just like the battle between Xu Xian and his father on the street, and the officials of Yongning Town will definitely go to the Xu family to ask for money.
As for people like Li Bai, who patted his ass and walked away after making trouble in Chang'an, those who were caught by Dali Temple would either pay high compensation or suppress the water prison, and those who could not be caught could only be paid by the government in the end.
That Young Master Xu listened to the shopkeeper's words, rushed forward for a moment, frowned and said to Ning Chen: "Boy, do you dare to go to the Xuanwu Field with me if you are not afraid of death, whoever wins this knife will belong to whom, how?" β
The Xuanwu Field, a bit similar to the ring, was specially opened by the Tang Dynasty Mansion for fighters, whether there is an injustice or a hatred, even if you just want to learn from each other, you can come to the Xuanwu Field to fight.
Regarding Young Master Xu's proposal, Ning Chen nodded and said, "No problem, but you have to add a little more, take away the knife that wins, and pay the money if you lose."
"No problem", Young Master Xu checked Ning Chen's breath, he was definitely under himself, and he would be in the second rank of bronze if he supported the top, and he didn't know where this guy's confidence came from, so he must press his face to the ground and rub it when the time comes.
And what Ning Chen was thinking at this time was that he was bound to get this purple bamboo broken blade, and he promised that he would definitely be able to repair this knife, and buy an elite-level spiritual weapon with eight gold coins, and a fool would miss it.
You must know that a good elite-level spiritual weapon, the cheapest one will cost at least fifty gold coins or more.
The two glared angrily and left the spirit shop together, and before leaving, Xu Gongzi also took two knives from the shopkeeper.
One is the purple bamboo broken blade, and the other is called the Aoki knife, which is an ordinary-level spiritual weapon.
As soon as he went out, Xu Gongzi threw the Zizhu Broken Blade to Ning Chen and said, "This knife is a cripple, so Young Master Ben doesn't want to bully you, so I will fight you with an ordinary-level weapon."
"Young Master Ben feels that this knife is not suitable for you, so Young Master Ben will prove it to you with practical actions!"
Ning Chen had to sigh, the innate sense of self-superiority of these rich children was really inflated, and he glanced at the other party and said, "I don't want you to think, I want me to feel."
"You ......" Xu Gongzi was a little speechless.
"Don't talk, kiss...... Ahh β
"Don't talk, beep there now, it will be embarrassing to lose then, boy".
"I ...... Hmph, hurry up, I can't wait to you! β
In this regard, Ning Chen just smiled and ended the stage of ruthless words.
How old are you, he's naΓ―ve, are you naΓ―ve with him? Ning Chen thought so.
The Xuanwu Field in Yongning Town is located in the east of the town, and when Ning Chen and Young Master Xu came here, Ning Chen's first impression was that the huge Xuanwu Field was just like the playground of the previous school, and there were a lot of people outside.
Ning Chen followed Young Master Xu to the front of a sturdy man, it was estimated that he was the administrator of this Xuanwu Field, after watching Young Master Xu take out ten silver coins and give them to the other party, Ning Chen expected that it should be the registration fee or something, for the sake of the purple bamboo broken blade, Ning Chen gritted his teeth and handed over ten silver coins.
After handing over the silver coins, the two waited on the sidelines.
At this time, there were two fighters in the Xuanwu Arena competing, one was a martial artist holding a spear, and the other was a demon fighter with a magic staff.
On this continent, whether it is martial arts or demons, there are eight most common attributes, namely: water, fire, ice, thunder, wind, earth, wood, and metal.
Of course, in addition to these eight common ones, it is said that there are special properties such as light and darkness, but they are relatively rare.
However, the difference between martial arts and demons is that the attributes of martial arts are reflected in martial arts, while the attributes of demons are reflected in the body, which is related to martial arts and demon cultivation of spiritual veins.
At the beginning of stepping into the Demon Dao, the Demon Fighter will go through a Demon Dao Awakening Test, which is somewhat similar to the qualification test, to see that he is closer to that attribute, and then major in the magic spell of that attribute.
The reason is very simple, if someone is born with a thunder body, but if he is asked to major in fire spells, then even if he is qualified and talented, his achievements will not be too high.
Therefore, it is important for Demon Fighters to determine what attributes they are suitable for.
As the old saying goes: big is not necessarily good, fit is important, the same truth.
And for martial artists, it's not so complicated, there's nothing suitable and unsuitable, as long as you can learn to comprehend, you can learn the martial arts of these eight attributes if you like that.
Of course, a martial artist has a small limitation in the spirit weapon, for example, a warrior who wields a sword cannot be allowed to learn a thunder-attribute spearmanship.
At this time, the martial arts fighter in the arena was on the ground with a spear, panting like an ox, and after resting in place for a while, he shouted: "Breaking the wind thorn!" β
After speaking, people go with the gun, and the gun is like a dragon, and it is indomitable.
When the onlookers saw this, they all shouted excitedly.
Seeing this, Ning Chen thought to himself that it seemed that this battle was going to be won or lost.
