Chapter 9

"Damn, what did that kid just say? I didn’t hear wrong, did I?"

"Tsk tsk… This second-stage Body Tempering waste, who gave him the courage to act so arrogant here?"

"When a capable person acts arrogant, it’s impressive. When an incapable person acts arrogant, it’s purely foolish. I think this guy is a typical fool."

"Good, very good!"

Lin Yang laughed in anger.

He glared at Jiang Chen with a cold, intense gaze: "If you have the guts, come and challenge me on the arena!"

If it weren't for the Lingyun Martial Academy's prohibition on private fights, he would have already rushed over to pin Jiang Chen to the ground and beat him up.

Jiang Chen sneered inwardly.

He didn't want to argue with this guy, but this kid insisted on coming to provoke him!

Since that's the case, he would just oblige him!

"I have no objection to challenging you."

A slight smile curved the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth: "However, since we are going to compete, there should be some stakes, right?"

Lin Yang was suddenly overjoyed.

He didn't expect Jiang Chen to not only agree but also to want to bet.

Since this kid is offering himself up, he will make Jiang Chen pay a bloody price for it!

"Here is a Body Tempering Pill. If you win, it’s yours. If you lose, you owe me one. How about that?"

Lin Yang, as if afraid Jiang Chen would change his mind, quickly pulled out a jade bottle from his pocket.

"Damn, having a cool brother is great. He can just take out a treasure like a Body Tempering Pill so casually."

"This Lin Yang is really generous, actually putting up a Body Tempering Pill as the stake!"

"Rubbish, a fourth-stage Body Tempering fighter against a second-stage one, even a fool knows he won’t lose. I would also be willing to bet big."

"Damn, he’s clearly trying to trick Jiang Chen into giving up a Body Tempering Pill. Jiang Chen, this fool, is actually offering himself up."

The surrounding cold and mocking comments didn’t affect Jiang Chen at all; instead, he smiled with a sense of satisfaction.

"Alright, I agree to this challenge!"

A Body Tempering Pill is a first-grade pill that can significantly enhance the strength of a Body Tempering realm martial artist.

Even a Body Tempering Pill of the most ordinary quality is worth tens of thousands of gold coins!

The effect of this pill is many times stronger than the potent pill he took last time.

With this pill, plus the boost from the hundredfold training system, his strength can increase dramatically.

Now that Lin Yang has brought the treasure to his doorstep, Jiang Chen has no reason not to accept it.

"Damn, he actually agreed. This guy must be crazy, right?"

Seeing that Jiang Chen actually agreed to the challenge, the surrounding onlookers were speechless.

A second-stage Body Tempering waste agreeing to challenge a fourth-stage Body Tempering fighter, isn’t this just asking for a beating?

Not only is he asking for a beating, but he’s also willing to give up a Body Tempering Pill!

What kind of fool would make such a choice?

"Since you’ve agreed, let’s go to the arena."

Lin Yang was overjoyed when he heard that Jiang Chen actually agreed, and he couldn't wait to say:

Beating up Jiang Chen and getting a Body Tempering Pill worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

There’s nothing more exciting than this!

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "No need for that trouble, let’s start here."

"Jiang Chen, what do you mean? Private fights can get you expelled from the Lingyun Martial Academy."

Lin Yang's face darkened slightly, and he said sarcastically: "If you’re afraid to fight, just say so."

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t fight you, so why are you so agitated? We won’t fight, we’ll just compare agility."

Jiang Chen pointed at Lin Yang with one finger: "I won’t attack. If you can touch me within ten moves, I’ll admit defeat!"
