Chapter 37

With a long laugh, Ye Zhen suddenly pointed at Jin Yuanbao and said, "I'm planning to bet all my assets on myself winning. Do you dare?"

"What's there to be afraid of!" Hong Bao's expression first froze, then he rushed towards the gold ingot, "I should thank you for reminding me. An opportunity to get silver for free, not betting would be foolish!"

Jin Yuanbao gritted his teeth and glared at Ye Zhen, wishing he could tear that mouth of his. If it weren't for Ye Zhen, he wouldn't have to suffer this additional loss.

"Two thousand taels of silver, five hundred sect contribution points, a bottle of Ningshen Pills, five Xishui Pills, six bottles of Xueyuan Pills, Jin Yuanbao, this is all my assets. Quickly, take the bet."

Every time Hong Bao placed a bet, Jin Yuanbao felt as if he was being cut with a knife. This wasn't just a bet; it was like cutting flesh from his body.

Ye Zhen was also slightly surprised. Hong Bao's assets were much richer than he had imagined. Just those pills alone were worth over twenty thousand taels of silver.

"Senior Brother Jin, how much did I win in the last round?" After Hong Bao returned, Ye Zhen leisurely approached Jin Yuanbao's gambling table.

"The odds are two to one. In addition to returning your two Xishui Pills and fifty sect contribution points, I have to pay you two thousand five hundred taels of silver, right, Junior Brother Ye!"

Seeing Ye Zhen come over, the veins on Jin Yuanbao's forehead throbbed. Just one sentence from Ye Zhen had made him bleed several pounds. Hong Bao's single bet was equivalent to dozens of ordinary outer sect disciples' bets.

"Oh, all in, betting on myself winning!"

"Good!" Although Ye Zhen's all-in gave Jin Yuanbao a bit of income, compared to the losses, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Suddenly, just as Jin Yuanbao was seething with anger, Ye Zhen lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother Jin, do you want me to win?"

"Of course! I want it so badly!"

Jin Yuanbao was stunned, looking at Ye Zhen's serious face. Almost in despair, a tiny bit of hope suddenly rose in his heart, like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline, he eagerly asked.

"If you give me half of your net earnings from this bet, I might win!" Ye Zhen said.

"How do you plan to win?" Jin Yuanbao asked urgently.

"For wealth, one can die. Such a huge profit is worth me risking my life. Just risking it, that's all," Ye Zhen said.

"Risking your life?" Jin Yuanbao was taken aback and asked again, "How confident are you?"

"I don't know. The timid fear the bold, the bold fear the reckless, and the reckless fear those who risk their lives. There's always a chance when you risk your life." These words were said lightly, but for some reason, Jin Yuanbao sensed a strong sense of bloodshed.

"Fine, half is half, as long as you can win!" Jin Yuanbao instantly made the most beneficial choice for himself. If Ye Zhen didn't risk his life, he would not only lose everything but also owe a mountain of debt. But if Ye Zhen could create even a sliver of a chance, even giving Ye Zhen half, he would still become rich overnight!

"Fine!" With a long laugh, Ye Zhen leaped back onto the martial arts platform.

"Risking your life? Surname Ye, no matter how hard an ant tries, it can't match an elephant." The conversation between Ye Zhen and Jin Yuanbao, even though spoken in a low voice, was not a secret to the people present with their keen hearing.

"Too much talk, take this!"

Ye Zhen's body suddenly crouched and sprang forward, his speed instantly reaching its peak from a standstill. His fist, covered in almost pure green true essence, crossed over twenty meters in an instant, like a green meteor, hurtling towards Hong Bao.

The pupils of Gu Duo and Li Yunchong in the audience contracted sharply, and Gu Duo even stood up.

"Almost pure green true essence, peak fifth stage Blood Cultivation, just one step away from the True Essence Realm? Junior Brother Li, when did our East Peak have such a powerful existence, and why didn't I know?"

"Senior Brother, I don't know either. I only know that three months ago, his cultivation had just broken through to the fourth stage of Blood Cultivation," Li Yunchong was also shocked.

"Three months to break through from the fourth stage to the peak fifth stage of Blood Cultivation, so fast? What level of bloodline talent does he have, do you know?" Gu Duo asked.

"Not sure." Li Yunchong shook his head, "But his talent isn't that high. Four months ago, he was still a miscellaneous disciple, and his bloodline talent is definitely below the fourth rank."

"What? Four months ago, he was still a miscellaneous disciple!"

This time, Gu Duo was thoroughly shocked. Four months ago, he was still a miscellaneous disciple, and now, his cultivation had reached the peak fifth stage of Blood Cultivation, almost on par with them.

"Is he favored by any elders in the sect?" Gu Duo asked.

"No! If he were, he wouldn't be among the outer sect disciples," Li Yunchong answered.

"Interesting, very interesting. This Ye Zhen is indeed quite interesting." Gu Duo stared at Ye Zhen, who was attacking Hong Bao like lightning, his eyes flickering as if calculating something.

"Senior Brother, does this mean Ye Zhen has a chance to win?" Li Yunchong asked.

"Chance to win? Impossible." Gu Duo firmly shook his head, "You forgot the foundation of the top three on the sect's Earth Rank. How can ordinary outer sect disciples compare?

Moreover, Junior Brother Li, you, I, and Hong Bao have all reached the threshold of inner sect disciples. We just need to wait for the sect's grand competition at the end of the year to directly become inner sect disciples. Even if Ye Zhen's cultivation has reached the peak fifth stage of Blood Cultivation, Hong Bao is not someone he can defeat!"

Seeing Ye Zhen's rapid approach, Hong Bao instinctively punched forward, his fist covered in pure green true essence.

"True Essence Realm, Hong Bao has already entered the True Essence Realm!" Ye Zhen was also surprised.

When the true essence color changes from light green to pure green, it signifies that the martial artist's cultivation has officially entered the True Essence Realm, the true beginning of the martial path.

Bang!

The two iron fists collided fiercely, the true essence on the fists exploding into a ball, neither of them retreating a single step.

Hong Bao and Ye Zhen's pupils simultaneously contracted, both surprised by the other's strength.

Hong Bao's cultivation had recently reached the True Essence Realm. The suppression of cultivation level should have allowed him to push Ye Zhen back with one punch, but Ye Zhen's body remained unmoving.

Ye Zhen was the most aware of the power of his punch.

His true essence had been refined by the Mirage Dragon, its purity almost on par with those in the True Essence Realm. Although he didn't use his full strength, the speed advantage of the Snake Spring Grass allowed him to match Hong Bao.

Hong Bao's strength was even greater than he had imagined.

"Hmph, try taking my punch as well!"

As he spoke, a fierce aura rose around Hong Bao. His fist technique changed, and he seemed to have four arms and four legs smashing towards Ye Zhen. Even the true essence on his body turned a light golden color.

The Vajra Tiger Subduing Fist!

The Vajra Tiger Subduing Fist, a low-grade human-level martial technique, is known for its overwhelming power. If practiced to a minor success, it can create the illusion of four arms and four legs. If practiced to a major success, the speed of the punches can create the illusion of eight arms and eight legs, with immense power.

Seeing the rain of punches, Ye Zhen's Snake Sliding Step allowed him to dodge the range of Hong Bao's four arms and four legs.

Hong Bao, now like an angry Vajra, his four arms and four legs moving unpredictably, continued to attack Ye Zhen like a spinning top.

The power of a low-grade human-level martial technique was indeed formidable. Hong Bao's Vajra Tiger Subduing Fist forced Ye Zhen to avoid direct confrontation, but Ye Zhen was not without a way to counter.

Using the Snake Sliding Step, he circled around Hong Bao, occasionally using the Five Mountains Divine Fist, especially the external fist aura, which made Hong Bao flustered.

"Vajra's Wrath! Vajra's Tiger Tread!"

Hong Bao roared, his body leaping high into the air, his four fists and four legs creating countless golden lights, attacking Ye Zhen. These two moves were the killing techniques of the Vajra Tiger Subduing Fist, capable of combining into several deadly moves.

At this moment, Ye Zhen felt a bit frustrated. He finally realized that his foundation was still too shallow, and he knew too few martial techniques. In total, Ye Zhen didn't even have a single low-grade human-level martial technique that could match the Vajra Tiger Subduing Fist.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

On the ground, Ye Zhen unleashed a series of Five Mountains Divine Fists, each fist aura extending three feet and striking Hong Bao.

Hong Bao, however, was undaunted, using his footwork to kick Ye Zhen's Five Mountains Divine Fist auras apart. He then flipped his body and used the Vajra Tiger Capture, attacking Ye Zhen head-on.

This time, it was point-blank, and Ye Zhen had no way to dodge!

The Ling Snake Vein Sealing Hand!

At the moment of the punch, Ye Zhen suddenly changed his fist to a palm, grabbed Hong Bao's fist, and with a push and a twist, there was a crack, and Hong Bao's right fist hung limply.

With a cry of pain, Hong Bao, ignoring his dislocated right hand, circled his left fist, the golden aura growing brighter, and smashed down on Ye Zhen without any hindrance.

If this punch landed, Ye Zhen would either die or be severely injured.

"Damn it, die!"

Instantly, everyone in the audience stretched their necks, and Jin Yuanbao held his breath, staring at the martial arts platform, not daring to blink, afraid that Ye Zhen would be finished in the blink of an eye.

If Ye Zhen was finished, he would be finished too.

In the arena, Ye Zhen suddenly stood still, his body leaning to the left, avoiding the critical head area, and directly exposing his shoulder to Hong Bao.

This is...

Everyone in the audience was immediately shocked. With the power of the True Essence Realm and the low-grade human-level Vajra Tiger Subduing Fist, if Hong Bao's full-strength attack hit, Ye Zhen's shoulder would be shattered instantly.

Does Ye Zhen want to die?

In the stunned silence of everyone, Ye Zhen's shoulder suddenly thrust forward, actively meeting Hong Bao's fist. At that moment, his hands, like snakes, quickly pointed towards Hong Bao's ribs.

In the audience, Jin Yuanbao suddenly had a realization. Ye Zhen was going all out!

PS: Ladies, Ye Zhen is going all out, where are your screams! No, where are your recommendation votes!
