Chapter 93

Chapter 91: Vines Entangle

The next morning, Tuoba Ye, Qian Yi, and Lei Ting set off early.

Yang Bin and the others had many things to do, so they did not go along.

Upon arriving at the arena, Tuoba Ye pulled Lei Ting to place a bet.

Tuoba Ye did not want to expose his own Qiankun Ring, so he had placed all the Yuanli Pills with Lei Ting.

"Place a bet!"

"Who will win? How many Yuanli Pills?"

"Tuoba Ye against Yuanyang Ning, bet on Tuoba Ye winning, 660,000 Yuanli Pills," Tuoba Ye said.

He kept his voice low to avoid the members of the Extermination Squad finding out and making a fuss.

These Yuanli Pills were the stakes from the previous bet between Yuanyang Ning and Tuoba Ye. Tuoba Ye placing a bet with them violated the rules.

Of course, it was Lei Ting who violated the rules, and Tuoba Ye himself was not in trouble.

However, it was best to avoid unnecessary trouble, as no one wanted to be entangled in it.

As soon as Tuoba Ye finished speaking, the person collecting the bets was stunned.

"Are you sure you're betting on Tuoba Ye winning, 660,000 Yuanli Pills?"

"Sure!"

Tuoba Ye took out the Yuanli Pills, and the person collecting the bets counted them and then gave Tuoba Ye a voucher.

"Let's go!" Lei Ting frowned and said.

Although her identity was not simple, she did not want to offend the Extermination Squad.

Tuoba Ye was extremely excited. If he could win, the Yuanli Pills in his hands would become much more abundant.

He had already planned to buy a batch of treasures after the year-end competition, to arm himself and take the remaining treasures home to increase the strength of the Tuoba family.

Although Tuoba Ye and the others did not make a big fuss, the three of them were famous and attracted a lot of attention.

Before long, the news that Tuoba Ye had placed a bet of 660,000 Yuanli Pills on himself spread.

"Tuoba Ye is really confident, betting a huge amount on himself!"

"Since Tuoba Ye dares to bet 660,000 Yuanli Pills on himself, he must have a trump card. Let's follow the trend; we might make a fortune."

...

These messages quickly reached the ears of the Extermination Squad. Lu Junfeng said, "Captain, Tuoba Ye must have used the stakes from our previous bet to place a bet."

"It's probably true. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so coincidental, exactly 660,000 Yuanli Pills," Yuanyang Ning was relatively calm.

Leng Yidao angrily said, "Tuoba Ye is breaking the rules. If he loses, who will we ask for the Yuanli Pills?"

"Let's not worry about this for now," Yuanyang Ning's face was calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.

That day, Tuoba Ye and the others arrived at the Six Paths Squad's stand. They tried to avoid talking to avoid conflicts with the Six Paths Squad members.

Two strong members of the Six Paths Squad had already been eliminated by Tuoba Ye, and they had lost many Yuanli Pills, so they hated Tuoba Ye to the bone.

However, Tuoba Ye's strength was too strong, and they did not dare to cause trouble for him.

They remembered the fate of Duan Hongfei and did not want to suffer the same fate.

The competition began, and Qian Yi soon appeared on the stage.

Qian Yi's opponent was quite strong, but his fame was far from that of Lei Ting.

Qian Yi's strength steadily suppressed his opponent, and he easily advanced, entering the top hundred.

"Qian Yi, well done!" Tuoba Ye smiled.

"Of course! I'm already in the top hundred!" Qian Yi was very proud.

Lei Ting coldly said, "Just the top hundred. Let's see if you can enter the top ten first."

The year-end competition for the outer disciples of the Dan Ding Sect was an elimination system. Even if someone entered the top hundred and lost, they would still compete to determine their ranking. Additionally, those who lost in the sixth round would also compete, with the top-ranked ones entering the top hundred, as there were fewer than a hundred who could enter the top hundred.

Qian Yi, who was originally very excited, suddenly became somewhat dejected.

Tuoba Ye smiled and said, "Qian Yi, as long as you don't encounter the strongest few, entering the top ten shouldn't be a problem."

"If I encounter you, Captain, I'll just admit defeat," Qian Yi sighed.

Tuoba Ye shook his head, "Do as you please."

Qian Yi indeed had no chance against Tuoba Ye.

If he stood still, Qian Yi's arrows would not harm him, and the match would be meaningless.

As they watched the competition, Jue Wuxing and Bi Yuntian appeared one after another, both winning easily with their absolute strength.

Seeing them in action, it was clear they had not used their true abilities, and Tuoba Ye did not dare to underestimate them.

Soon, it was Tuoba Ye's turn, and his steps were somewhat heavy.

Yuanyang Ning knew he had defeated Duan Hongfei and still dared to bet heavily, so he must have a trump card.

The problem was that Tuoba Ye did not know what Yuanyang Ning's trump card was, and the unknown was the most terrifying.

He had heard that Yuanyang Ning had been in seclusion, perhaps having made significant progress, which gave him such confidence.

No matter what, Tuoba Ye had bet all his assets and owed 660,000 Yuanli Pills, so he could not afford to lose.

"Captain, you must win!" Qian Yi said excitedly.

"Tuoba Ye, Yuanyang Ning is very strong and usually very low-key. No one knows his trump card, so be careful," Lei Ting said.

Tuoba Ye looked at Lei Ting strangely; he could not believe she would care about him.

"Don't worry! I can't lose, and I won't lose," Tuoba Ye smiled and walked to the stage.

"Tuoba Ye! Tuoba Ye! Newcomer King! Newcomer King!..."

The cheers were continuous, shaking the heavens.

His battle with Duan Hongfei had made him famous, and he was already hailed as the Newcomer King by the outer disciples.

Among the new outer disciples, the strongest were Tuoba Ye, Qian Yi, and Zhan Feng. Qian Yi was Tuoba Ye's subordinate, and Zhan Feng was his defeated opponent, making him the rightful Newcomer King.

Yuanyang Ning also had many supporters when he appeared on the stage.

Despite his low-key personality, Yuanyang Ning had once been the Newcomer King and was very strong.

Among the outer disciples of the Dan Ding Sect, only Jue Wuxing and Bi Yuntian could surpass Yuanyang Ning; no one else could.

In comparison, Yuanyang Ning's talent was slightly better than Jue Wuxing and Bi Yuntian. They all had dual-attribute spirit roots, but Yuanyang Ning's spirit roots were almost single-attribute, with the other attribute being very weak and almost negligible.

In fact, Lei Ting's final target was Yuanyang Ning, but she did not say it.

Mainly because Yuanyang Ning was too low-key, and Lei Ting did not know his true strength, so she did not make a final decision.

Yuanyang Ning's battle with Tuoba Ye would be a full effort.

Even if Yuanyang Ning lost, as long as he showed enough strength, he would still be chosen by Lei Ting.

When Yuanyang Ning and Tuoba Ye both walked onto the stage, the cheers from the stands were still enthusiastic.

"Tuoba Ye, I never thought we would become enemies. It's my fault. If I hadn't been in seclusion at a critical moment, I could have personally recruited you. Even if I couldn't recruit you, the relationship between the Extermination Squad and you wouldn't be so strained," Yuanyang Ning said.

His expression was calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Indeed, life is unpredictable, and there's no right or wrong," Tuoba Ye sighed.

"Unfortunately, if you could join the Extermination Squad, it would have a good chance of surpassing the Six Paths Squad and the Ten Absolute Squad," Yuanyang Ning shook his head.

Despite his low-key personality, Yuanyang Ning was ambitious.

However, his ambition was hard to achieve. Just looking at the faces of the deputy captains, it was clear that the Extermination Squad would find it difficult to grow.

Tuoba Ye did not point this out; he was too lazy to care about others' affairs.

"Captain Yuanyang Ning, thank you for your consideration, but everyone has their own aspirations, and it can't be forced," Tuoba Ye said.

"Right! During the competition, be careful. I will do my best to defeat you!" Yuanyang Ning said.

Tuoba Ye smiled, "You should be careful too; I will also do my best."

Before the battle began, the two of them showed mutual respect.

If Yuanyang Ning had personally recruited Tuoba Ye at the beginning, even if Tuoba Ye did not join the Extermination Squad, they would have become friends.

Now, it was too late to talk about these things; they had to determine a winner.

"The competition begins!" the referee announced loudly.

"Vines Entangle!" Yuanyang Ning directly used a wood-element spell.

Although Vines Entangle was the most basic wood-element spell, it was very practical, capable of entangling the opponent and preventing them from moving or attacking.

Seeing Yuanyang Ning use Vines Entangle, Lei Ting's eyes lit up, "The final choice, Yuanyang Ning is definitely one of them."

Bi Yuntian was amazed when he saw Yuanyang Ning use the spell, "I never thought Yuanyang Ning could master a spell. If I faced him, I might not win. He's not simple, not simple at all."

"Captain, didn't you already know how to use spells? Why would you be afraid of Yuanyang Ning?"

"Vines Entangle is very hard to deal with. If I get entangled, I will definitely lose," Bi Yuntian said frankly.

Jue Wuxing's face changed slightly when he saw Yuanyang Ning use Vines Entangle, "Yuanyang Ning is a formidable opponent, not easy to deal with. He has hidden his strength deeply. We need to be cautious in the future."

"Captain, you should be able to defeat Yuanyang Ning, right?"

"Of course. I mastered spells a few months earlier than him, and my strength is still above his. However, Tuoba Ye is probably at his limit and will be defeated by Yuanyang Ning."

"I heard Tuoba Ye bet 660,000 Yuanli Pills and also bet 300,000 Yuanli Pills against Yuanyang Ning. This time, he will lose everything and find it hard to recover."

Jue Wuxing said solemnly, "Tuoba Ye has had enough of the limelight; it's time for him to suffer a bit."

Seeing Yuanyang Ning use Vines Entangle, even the referee was shocked.

To learn a spell, one needed to have the cultivation of a Qi Condensation Realm.

However, some world-class geniuses could master one or two spells before reaching the Qi Condensation Realm.

Such world-class geniuses were extremely rare. Among the million outer disciples of the Dan Ding Sect, only Jue Wuxing and Bi Yuntian were known to have mastered spells. Now, with the addition of Yuanyang Ning, there were only three. Of course, there might be others who had mastered spells but had not revealed them. Even if added together, there would probably not be more than ten who could use spells.

Among the million outer disciples, fewer than ten had mastered spells, showing how difficult it was to master a spell before reaching the Qi Condensation Realm.

For Qi Condensation Realm experts, mastering spells was the right path. Once a spell was mastered, one's strength would increase dramatically.

This was undeniable; in battles between Qi Condensation Realm experts, they no longer relied on martial techniques.

Tuoba Ye was stunned when Yuanyang Ning suddenly used a spell, with no reaction. He only came to his senses when he was entangled by green vines.

"Tuoba Ye is entangled by Vines Entangle; he's definitely going to lose this time!"

(Friends, please give me some support!)
