Chapter Twenty-Eight: Losing to Him

028 lost to him

At this time, the ring was still in full swing, and the two disciples of the third stage of the Black Iron Realm with similar cultivation each used their housekeeping skills, and they were in full swing.

And this kind of evenly matched contest is also the favorite of the disciples watching in the audience, last time he won, but this time maybe another one has a new adventure, or learned some novel martial arts, everything is full of unknowns, no one knows which disciple can achieve this victory.

"I heard that this time Li Sanhai's meniscus stick method has reached a higher level, and it has reached the realm of entry, so this time Jia Ren's odds are relatively high, pressing one to two!"

An old disciple with a small beard said to a few disciples on the side, his voice was very small, and he looked around at every turn, for fear that someone would find out that he had set up a gambling game.

The onlookers looked at Jia Ren, who was now slightly defeated, and looked at each other, but they all turned their heads away, no longer paying attention to this guy who suddenly came over.

"Don't don't, don't be, although you are looking at Li Sanhai now and his vigorous appearance, you must know that Jia Ren hasn't even shed a few drops of sweat now. Let me tell you, he has a big move, and if he doesn't make another 50 moves, he will definitely defeat Li Sanhai! I, Feng Laicai, am from the stone room next door to him, and I often see him practicing!"

Feng Laicai's words were extremely sincere, as if Jia Ren, who was slightly defeated, also pinched some tricks to reverse the victory and defeat, just waiting for a few disciples to press the treasure, and then he opened his matchless, and the opponent he killed did not leave a piece of armor!

The three disciples were also a little interested when they heard this, and they raised their necks to observe Jia Ren carefully, and found that it was really as the dealer said, although Jia Ren, who was holding a double knife to parry and dodge, had a solemn expression, but there was no sweat on his face.

Could it be true, as the disciple who opened the market said, this Jia Ren is preparing to prepare for a counterattack?

Without waiting for the three disciples to think about it again, the dealer was already about to drill into other places: "Eh, if you delay for so long, Jia Ren will win soon." Forget it, let's close here......"

"Brother stay, don't we just press it, I'll press Jia Ren fifty silver diamonds!" The three disciples really got hit, why did one of the disciples with thick eyebrows and big eyes go up and grab Feng Laicai's shirt, and with a smile, he took out the silver diamond from his arms and handed it to him.

"I also pressed Jia Ren with thirty silver diamonds!"

"I'll press him twenty silver diamonds and test the water. ”

The three disciples each took out some silver diamonds, handed them to Feng Laicai, exchanged them for three paper vouchers, and secretly put them in their arms.

They naturally knew the extent of the academy's crackdown on these private gambling games, not only did the disciples who opened the market confiscate the silver diamonds and expel them to the academy, but even the disciples who bet had to be locked up in a small black room for reflection, and they couldn't get out for three or five days.

Fortunately, no one noticed what happened here, so let's wait for Jia Ren to turn the tables and kill him, and a few of them will happily share the money!

But before the three disciples could be happy, a young voice came from behind the diagonal back, and the voice was calm and unwavering, without any emotion:

"That Jia Ren suffered from anhidrosis when he was a child, even if he was exhausted, he would not sweat a drop, you were deceived, Li Sanhai could win within ten moves. ”

"What!" The thick-eyebrow disciple's eyes widened, his heart bulged violently, and he turned around in a panic and saw the disciple who spoke clearly.

It was actually Bai Tang, who was seventh in the ring last time, and he was standing upright not far behind him with his cold wood sword. His figure was long and thin, and his thin eyebrows were lowered and constricted, revealing a hint of depression, as if a big stone was pressing on his heart, which made him worry and breathless.

Originally, this thick-eyebrow disciple was suddenly seen betting on it, and he was very panicked, for fear that the disciple would use it to threaten him. But Bai Tang, who has always been silent, is not like a person who can do such a thing, and he can rest easy.

However, he said that several of his people had been deceived, could it be ......

The thick-eyebrow disciple was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard that everyone around him was excited, and the person in front of him raised his arms and shouted Li Sanhai's name, and quickly raised his head to look at the ring, just seeing Li Sanhai launch a decisive blow!

The long stick made of cold wood waved in the air, and it was a little blurry in the sunlight.

Jia Ren, who had always been at a disadvantage, saw that the stick was terrifying, and he was even more afraid in his heart, and he didn't notice the stiffness of Li Sanhai's move, and lost the last chance to fight back. I had to retract my two knives and cross my chest to defend, intending to eat this Li Sanhai's crescent moon Shenwei.

Although he also heard that Li Sanhai's meniscus stick method entered the door, but his previous self was able to eat his trick smoothly, thinking that this time as long as he strictly guarded it, he would definitely be able to resolve the dilemma in a state of considerable consumption, and then launch a counterattack to sweep the new Li Sanhai from the ring!

"Bang!

Jia Ren, who flew upside down in a daze, spat out blood in the air again, and he and many disciples who bet on him to win had nothing to think about......

Why, the power of this Li Sanhai's [Crescent Moon Sweep] is more than double the power of a month ago, even if he has devoted himself to defense, he still can't fully parry?

In a corner that he couldn't hear, Bai Tang, who was standing against the long sword, said: "Li Sanhai's cultivation was also an epiphany when he broke through in martial arts, and he directly reached the middle stage of the second stage, if it was placed last month, he would at least be able to enter the top five, but it's a pity that ......"

But no one cared about his words, the three deceived people in front of him had already pulled with Feng Laicai, and a few paper tickets had lost their value and were still on the ground at will.

"This is your own problem, if you also know Jia Ren's illness, how can you lose your money in vain, if you want to blame yourself, the news is closed!" Feng Laicai's aura was slightly released, and he shook the arms of several disciples, since they all bet, it was a grasshopper on a rope, and there was no need to be afraid that they would report him.

But this Bai Tang's demolition is really infuriating, although he is already the second stage of the Black Iron Realm, and his cultivation is not as good as him, but Feng Laicai still snorted coldly twice, and said in a weird manner: "Bai Tang, I know that you have always looked at me unpleasantly, and I also know the reason, don't you just watch me earn silver diamonds? If you can let go of your pride, I don't mind if you join the gang." ”

"I know that your mother is seriously ill, and I also know that your family is poor now, hehe, I also heard that you go to work in the spirit stone mine every day, tsk, it's really a shame for our academy. ”

"You!" Bai Tang's face turned pale, but it was really hard to refute him, most of what he said was true, his family was indeed poor and white because of his mother's serious illness, and he did go to the nearby spirit stone mine after school to mine to earn some silver diamonds, part of it was his own food, and part of it was to buy medicine for his mother.

I didn't expect that the embarrassment I was desperately hiding was picked up by others, although Feng Laicai's voice was not loud, only I could hear it clearly, but the inferiority complex in my heart still could not be suppressed, and it flowed quickly from the soles of Bai Tang's feet to the surroundings.

He gritted his teeth and dug his fingertips into his flesh, the pain that woke him up, and he suddenly remembered what had happened when he came home from the mine last night......

The moon and stars were sparse, and there was silence everywhere, except for a little insect moaning in the grass beside the road.

There was little light in the surrounding houses, and now it was the time of the child, and most of the people had already fallen asleep, waiting for the sun to come and a new day of work. There are probably only some ordinary literati who are still awake and have read through the Three Books and Eight Classics, and are ready to rush to the capital of the four seas to take the exam when the first snow falls in a few months.

In this martial continent, only the Four Seas Empire has left a place for ordinary people who can't cultivate.

Every time the first spring flower blooms in early spring, the literati from all over the world will crowd into the capital, looking for a place to rest, preparing to show off their skills in the imperial examination the next day, and obtain a good ranking.

Although in addition to the champion Lang, the best official position is only an adjutant or a think tank under the city lord, but in such a continent, it is already the fairest examination.

And what about those martial artists who can cultivate?

Most of them have gone to bed early, and only a small number of them will study hard at home. Because they feel that they are already the chosen ones, no matter what they do, they can live better than ordinary people, compared to ordinary adults who can only get dozens of silver diamonds a day, there are many cultivators who can get hundreds or thousands of silver diamonds a day by doing anything.

Bai Tang touched the three hundred silver diamonds on his chest with some sense, and he was even more embarrassed in his heart. With his cultivation in the second stage of the Black Iron Realm, if he had time to be a bodyguard, thousands of silver diamonds a day would be rare.

He thought of Xiaobei who lived next door to him, a thin and sickly but always happy little girl, who was only ten years old and had already gone out of the city every day to cut grass and chop wood. Although she can only get a dozen silver diamonds in the morning, although she nibbles on flatbread and steamed buns every day, she can't remember the last time she ate meat, but she always runs to her house and chats with her sick mother who is lying in bed......

Let's go to two catties of fanged pig's meat tomorrow, our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, just enough to hide some for my mother to leave for Xiaobei to eat.

Oh, I kind of want to see her smile silly, this time I want my mother to urge her to eat it directly, and the last pear was snatched away by several of her brothers as soon as she took it out of the door.

The corners of Bai Tang's mouth rarely showed a smile, although his brows still did not stretch, but his facial features had become softer.

He walked slowly forward in the moonlight, turned a few corners, and finally reached the wooden house where his family lived, and he could already see the lamp lit in his mother's room, no matter how many times he said it, she was always worried that she couldn't sleep when she didn't come back, and she would blow out the lamp and sleep peacefully until she got home and talk to her.

Bai Tang's heart warmed, and his pace sped up a few points, just wanting to get home as soon as possible.
