"Hmph, I want to ask me to make a bet, first tell me what bet you can come up with?" Zou Junhao said disdainfully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"For a small family like you, what you can come up with, Zou Gongzi will naturally take what you want. Brother Gongzi beside Zou Junhao sneered.

"Okay. Su Qi said, taking out a dry herb rhizome from his pocket, "How about we bet on it?"

"Hahahaha, laughing to death, it's the first time I've seen someone gambling with withered grass roots, I said, you won't be so poor as this, right?"

He laughed for a while, and found that everyone present was not laughing, but Zou Junhao and Fan Hongji looked a little solemn. He let out a "groan" in his heart, and then looked carefully at the herb rhizome in Su Qi's hand, and felt a little familiar. After looking at it for a moment, this kid suddenly recognized it and exclaimed, "Withered Golden Vine! It's actually a withered Golden Vine!"

The withered gold vine is one of the highest-level medicinal materials that Su Qi obtained in the ancestral land, and it is an extremely scarce heavenly and earthly treasure. The withered gold vine is pale gold in color, and its greatest effect is that it can warm the edge of the practitioner, like a whetstone. The withered gold vine is one of the main materials of the Void Breaking Pill, and the Void Breaking Pill can make the Three Realms cultivators sharper, which is of great benefit to breaking the Four Realms and cultivating the natal object.

Moreover, even if it is not refined into an elixir, the withered gold vine can be eaten directly, and it also has the effect of breaking the void pill. This kind of natural treasure is rare among the great sects, and Zou Junhao never expected that Su Qi would carry one with him.

Su Qi smiled slightly: "How about it, is Zou Gongzi betting?"

Zou Junhao frowned and said, "I don't have this herb. If you want, I'm willing to pay 30,000 gold to bet against you. ā€

Su Qi knew that Zou Junhao must be extremely coveted for this herb, and shook his head: "The price given by Zou Gongzi is not bad, but it is not a cultivator's work to exchange the heavenly and earthly treasures he needs. Unless Zou Gongzi can come up with a heavenly treasure of the same level as this herb, there is no need to talk about it. ā€

Zou Junhao was a little displeased, but when he saw this withered golden vine, he couldn't bear to give up. Whether it is breaking the four realms, or cultivating the natal object after breaking the four realms, this withered gold vine is of great use, if the Zou family knows, it must be bought at the expense of 50,000 gold. But Su Qi said that he didn't want money, which gave Zou Junhao a headache.

After thinking for a moment, Zou Junhao took off a jade pendant from his waist: "I'll gamble with this." ā€

This jade pendant is exquisitely carved and has a peculiar shape, like a small sword, and there are some runes faintly engraved on it, which emits a pale red glow from time to time. Su Qi could feel a trace of sword intent coming from this jade pendant, and knew that this jade pendant was extraordinary.

"This jade pendant is my family heirloom, when you wear it, you can increase your sword intent to a certain extent, and at a critical moment, you can release all the sword intent in the jade pendant, which is worthy of a blow from a cultivator of the Five Realms. Zou Junhao said.

Fan Hongji's face on the side changed slightly, and he gently pulled Zou Junhao's sleeve: "Brother Zou, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ā€

"Do you think I'm going to lose?" Zou Junhao's face sank.

"No, it's just ......" Fan Hongji hesitated, and finally shut up. He had fought with Su Qi, and knew that Su Qi was quick-witted, and he was completely sure before making a move, so he was a little worried about Zou Junhao. But he also knew that there was still a huge gap between Su Qi's strength and Zou Junhao, and Zou Junhao was extremely conceited, his words had been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back, so he didn't persuade him again.

As for Zou Junhao, he naturally has his own set of abacus. First, he never believed that he would lose, and second, although this jade pendant was precious, it was a foreign object after all, and the withered gold vine could really improve his cultivation, so naturally the latter was more attractive to him.

"Okay, bet. Su nodded from the beginning, "Within a year, I will defeat you in the fighting arena." If it fails, the withered vine is yours. ā€

"If you win, the jade sword ornament will be handed over. Zou Junhao said.

The gambling contract was set, and Zou Junhao turned around and left with a group of children. Fan Hongji looked back at Su Qi, with some inexplicable doubts and fear in his eyes. He really couldn't figure out why Su Qi was so confident as an ordinary cultivator of the small clan and went against Zou Junhao everywhere.

"It seems that it is necessary to find out what is going on in this arena. ā€

Although he agreed to the gambling contract, Su Qi was a little uncertain about the winning or losing of this gambling contract. The gap between the two is not small, and Su Qi could not have predicted what would happen a year later. But it's better to prepare early and see what the hell is going on in this arena.

Walking out of the main hall of teaching and walking towards the school martial arts field, you can see a huge cylindrical stone building in a short time, which is the fighting arena. The arena covers a huge area, accounting for almost one-third of the school's martial arts field, which is quite conspicuous. The whole body is carved and piled up with huge stones, and there are narrow windows on the four walls, so the inside is bright.

Walking into the main hall of the arena, Su Qi found that there was a circular ring in the center, and the stone steps around the ring continued to spread upward, divided into three steps. Probably because the number of students in the school palace is limited, and people from outside the school palace are not allowed to come in and visit, so the fighting arena is not large, and it can accommodate hundreds of spectators at most. And the central ring is not too big, and everyone present can fully see every move in the field.

On the wall facing the entrance, there was a wooden sign with fifty numbers written on it, presumably the first fifty students in the arena. These fifty numbers are also the way to add numbers to the surname, and the top of the list is "Ersan Zou", probably Zou Junhao. Among the top twenty, there are the surnames Le, Tian, and Zhou, probably Lesheng, Tian You, and Zhou Chengguo. However, Han Yingnian, who has the highest cultivation, is not on the list, and I think he doesn't care about this kind of battle at all.

Su Qi already knew that Fan Hongji was the forty-second and his goal in the near future.

Probably because the time was wrong, the entire arena was very deserted, and there was only one sleepy young man, between the student and the teacher. Su Qi guessed that this was probably the student who stayed after graduation and helped deal with some administrative affairs in the school palace.

Hearing that someone was coming, the young man looked up and saw Su Qi.

"I want to sign up for the competition, is that okay?" asked Su Qi.

"Absolutely. The young man nodded. After confirming that Su Qi was here for the first time, the young man took out a "life and death certificate" and handed it to Su Qi.

"Fair competition, point to point, after the winner is divided, do not maliciously hurt people. However, if there is a casualty incident, it has nothing to do with the school palace, and it will be a destiny to live and die in the fighting arena. The young man reminded.

Su Qi pursed his lips: "Isn't this an officially recognized duel?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You can think so." ā€
