Chapter 2610: Chapter 2613: Wager—Golden Crow Saber
Since he had already decided to be assertive, Ling Xiao was not afraid to offend Chen Canglan.
If he conceded at this moment, it would only make people look down on him, making his situation even more difficult.
So Ling Xiao dared to question the Wise King and even dared to call those six men the Wise King’s dogs!
"Dogs?"
In that instant, Wu Ming and the others were clearly infuriated.
Ling Xiao actually dared to say they were dogs.
Although it might be true, they would never admit it.
Moreover, this lad dared to speak to His Highness the Wise King in such a manner; it was simply too excessive.
"Ling Xiao, if you don’t agree, then just don’t agree. Why must you make it sound so harsh?"
Chen Canglan began to show some displeasure.
Because he suddenly realized that this Ling Xiao was really hard to control, and whether it was worth it to make his people disheartened for this guy was in question.
"Were my words harsh? Why doesn’t His Highness think that their words are harsher? Or does His Highness believe that my two friends can be humiliated at will?"
Ling Xiao coldly looked at the Wise King.
Although he wanted to use the Wise King’s power to enter the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm, it didn’t mean he would trade his friends’ dignity for it.
"Forget it!"
Chen Canglan glanced at Yue Fanɡ Hua and held back his violent anger.
What he wanted was Yue Fanɡ Hua, so he couldn’t make a move on Ling Xiao right now.
Once they entered the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm, he could eliminate Ling Xiao, and then Yue Fanɡ Hua would be in his grasp.
He, Chen Canglan, truly couldn’t believe that a mere Ling Xiao could be more charming than him.
"Wu Minɡ, Wu Yue, Wu Yan, listen up. If you like women, the king will find them for you.
They will certainly not be worse than them.
Since Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shanɡ are unwilling, you should not persist.
This is temporary restraint.
Chen Canglan told himself, he couldn’t tear his face with Ling Xiao right now because Yue Fanɡ Hua was really not to be trifled with.
"Your Highness, we can do without the women, but this kid must apologize to us!"
Wu Yue said loudly.
He was a person with a very wild temperament.
Actually, both Wu Minɡ and Wu Yan had already endured it, but he couldn’t.
"An apology is possible, but there’s a condition."
Ling Xiao looked at Wu Yue with a faint smile.
He knew if he didn’t show a bit of strength, those guys would really think he was easy to bully.
Moreover, since the other party humiliated Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shanɡ, he had to vent his anger somehow to feel better.
"What condition?"
Wu Yue asked.
"It’s simple. If you can defeat me, I’ll apologize. Not only apologize, but I’ll kneel to you as well."
Ling Xiao said calmly.
Upon hearing those words, the six people suddenly paused, then burst into laughter.
They never expected Ling Xiao to propose such a condition.
Was this guy out of his mind?
A mere Martial Artist at the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Eighth Layer Hell Middle Stage challenging someone at the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Ninth Layer Hell Intermediate Stage was nothing short of a deathwish.
"Is it that funny?"
Ling Xiao asked calmly.
"Hahaha, how is this not funny? Fine, since you want a beating, just say so.
I misjudged you; it seems you truly want to apologize.
Don’t worry, I will go easy on you and won’t beat you into a pig’s head."
Wu Yue laughed so hard that his stomach almost hurt. He never thought he would encounter such a ridiculous challenge today.
A kid overestimating himself, he might as well vent his frustration.
"Wu Yue, take it easy. After all, this is the prince’s guest; don’t hit too hard."
Though Wu Minɡ and Wu Yan did not understand the confidence behind Ling Xiao challenging Wu Yue.
They were convinced Ling Xiao couldn’t possibly be Wu Yue’s match.
They believed their ability to gauge the opponent’s cultivation level was infallible.
In cases where the opponent had a lower cultivation level, their assessment was always 100% accurate.
When the opponent was stronger, success was less likely.
But Ling Xiao’s cultivation level was clearly lower than theirs.
So they confirmed that Ling Xiao had not hidden his strength, merely possessing the Hell Middle Stage cultivation at the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Eighth Layer.
"Perhaps he’s relying on some Magical Treasures."
Wu Ming sneered inwardly.
This clueless frog in a well really thought he was invincible in Eight Immortals County City, and he could act recklessly once in the Imperial Capital?
How ludicrous.
All six of them were Secret Realm Academy geniuses.
True geniuses, capable of challenging those beyond their level.
All six had defeated Martial Artists whose cultivation levels were one small realm higher than their own.
If Ling Xiao merely considered their outward strength, he would be sorely mistaken.
Challenging them wasn’t just a joke; it was sheer stupidity.
"Big brother, don’t worry, I’ll be measured in my actions and won’t severely injure this idiot—oh no, I mean Brother Ling Xiao.
But I can’t promise to hold back completely; after all, fists have no eyes.
I’ll try to be gentle."
Wu Yue said with a cheerful grin.
He wasn’t really excited about the fight; the opponent was too weak, so he’d dispatch him with ease, with no need to exert much effort.
All six believed Ling Xiao was overestimating himself, laughably so.
But Crown Prince Wise King Chen Canglan and Hong Minger frowned.
They knew Ling Xiao’s character too well.
He wasn’t a fool, nor would he recklessly challenge without reason.
Ah!
With Yue Fanɡ Hua present, how could Ling Xiao possibly lose?
If Wu Yue dared to harm Ling Xiao, Yue Fanɡ Hua would certainly intervene.
After thinking it over, Chen Canglan and Hong Minger could only arrive at this conclusion.
They couldn’t fathom that Ling Xiao’s strength was sufficient to defeat Wu Yue; that was too unbelievable.
"Are we ready to begin, kid?"
Wu Yue prepared to beat Ling Xiao, growing increasingly impatient.
"No rush, since it’s a duel, how can there be no stakes? If I lose, I’ll kneel and apologize, but if you lose?
You can’t possibly offer nothing, right?"
Ling Xiao said nonchalantly.
Wu Yue sneered, "No problem, whatever you want, just ask!
Spirit Stones!
Spirit Pills!
Magical Treasures!
Martial Skills!
I can offer them, whatever I can get!"
Actually, Wu Yue didn’t care what Ling Xiao wanted because he never considered he would lose.
And the others felt the same.
Though Ling Xiao was interested in their offers, what intrigued him most wasn’t those items but something else.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "This wager can only be fulfilled by His Highness the Wise King.
As I understand it, there is a famous blade called the "Golden Crow Saber" beneath the King’s Mansion.
Even if it’s not a Magical Treasure, it’s forged from Divine Iron born of the Golden Crow’s fall.
Could His Highness offer it as a wager?"
This Golden Crow Saber was something Yue Fanɡ Hua had informed Ling Xiao about.
Initially, he had merely perceived something beneath the mansion, without knowing what it was.
But Yue Fanɡ Hua had sensed the true form of that thing.
