Chapter 1162: Chapter 1159: Types of Bets Chapter 1162: Chapter 1159: Types of Bets The Zhenhai Rod, originally a Seventh Grade Magical Instrument, was extremely compatible with the Sky-Piercing White Jade Monkey, allowing it to unleash even greater power in its hands.
Under the full-force strike of the White Ape, the flawed magic figure that the Arm-Extending Fire Ape had transformed into crumbled instantaneously, like a clay chicken or a pottery dog.
Guided by its mind, the Arm-Extending Fire Ape spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and a look of unbearable pain surfaced on its face.
The White Ape, holding the Red Gold Long Stick, had eyes like lightning and an expressionless face, pointing at the Arm-Extending Fire Ape from afar.
In the eyes of the Fire Ape, at that moment, it seemed to turn into a hundred-zhang tall demon ape, and it couldnât help but feel a sense of submission in its heart.
Under the endless oppressive force, it couldnât bear the pressure inside and fell to its knees with a thud.
âAlright, letâs stop here,â
Lu Xuanâs deep voice rang in the White Apeâs ear and was also heard by the surrounding cultivators of the Fire God Palace.
Although the White Ape was belligerent, it was obedient to Lu Xuanâs commands without any hint of defiance; its blood-red eyes instantly became clear.
After hearing those words, it twirled the stick, and the Red Gold Long Stick rolled and flew into its ear orifice.
It then flew straight to the front of Lu Xuan without minding the Arm-Extending Fire Ape kneeling on the ground, and it stood behind him with its head bowed.
âFriend Luâs Spirit Beast is truly valiant, it easily defeated that Arm-Extending Fire Ape,â
Yan Li said with a smile, full of admiration.
âIndeed, to be able to fight evenly against the Arm-Extending Fire Ape just with its Flesh Body, let alone the fact that it also displayed such a marvelous command of the stick,â
a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Fire God Palace, who had come to watch the commotion, agreed.
Zhuang Chunqiu, standing not too far away, had an unchanged expression but a hint of extreme embarrassment flashed through his eyes.
He had long coveted the Original Monkey Hair on the Fire God Ape and had hoped to smoothly obtain it by relying on the strength and talent of the Arm-Extending Fire Ape â refining it would give the Spirit Beast more hope of advancing to Seventh Grade.
To his surprise, such a treasure had somehow leaked into the hands of an Outer Sect cultivator and was obtained by a White Ape with inferior strength.
The Arm-Extending Fire Ape, bearing a thin bloodline of the Fire God Ape within its body, naturally could sense the existence of that Monkey Hair, and a boundless jealousy welled up in its heart.
As the master of the Arm-Extending Fire Ape, Zhuang Chunqiu felt the same indignation, allowing his subordinate Spirit Beast to tangle with the White Ape.
In his original expectations, fighting at home, the Arm-Extending Fire Ape would be able to make better use of the special environment of the Fire God Palace, plus it had entered Tier 6 for many years, so dealing with a Spirit Beast that had just broken through to Tier 6 should have been easy.
But the outcome was beyond his expectations.
The White Apeâs strength was actually on par with the Arm-Extending Fire Ape, and even after the Arm-Extending Fire Ape had transformed into an imperfect magic figure, it took out a rare Seventh Grade Long Stick.
With a single strike, the shadow of the Four-Armed Fire Ape was dispersed.
It also made Zhuang Chunqiuâs original expectations come to nothing, and even his mind was slightly perturbed.
Without saying a word, he reached out with one hand and drew the fallen Arm-Extending Fire Ape over, throwing into it a pale red Spirit Pill.
With the treatment of the Elixir, the originally listless Arm-Extending Fire Ape appeared much more spirited.
It raised its head to look at Zhuang Chunqiu, its eyes full of shame.
âAre you still embarrassing yourself here?â
Zhuang Chunqiu scolded softly.
The Arm-Extending Fire Ape immediately turned into a flame-red Spiritual light and vanished from everyoneâs sight in an instant.
âFriend Lu is truly from the Dongxuan Sword Sect, with Spirit Beasts that possess such uncommon strength,â
Zhuang Chunqiu turned his head, squeezing out a smile.
âIt was merely a fluke,â
Lu Xuan replied indifferently.
âBut I did not expect that Friend Lu would actually bestow such an important Treasure Item to a Spirit Beast,â
Zhuang Chunqiu said with a smile, his words seemed to carry a slight sarcastic tone.
âWhat, is Mr. Zhuang unwilling to give a Seventh Grade Treasure Item to his subordinate Spirit Beast?â
Lu Xuan asked softly.
Zhuang Chunqiu couldnât help but choke.
He himself didnât have many Seventh Grade Treasure Items in his possession, how could he possibly find a Seventh Grade Magical Instrument that was both rare and exceedingly suitable for a Tier 6 Spirit Beast?
âI certainly donât have the extensive family business that Friend Lu has.â
âHowever, I have long admired the Dongxuan Sword Sectâs Sword Dao which is unparalleled throughout the Cultivation World, and I have longed for it.â
âAt last I can meet Friend Lu today. May I have the chance to exchange experiences in âFight Lawsâ with you?â
Zhuang Chunqiuâs expression remained unchanged, he asked calmly.
âLu Mou is merely a humble Spirit Plant Master, not adept in âFight Lawsâ. My visit to the Fire God Palace is only to bring some Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew to the senior Fire God Ape. You have found the wrong person, Mr. Zhuang.â
Lu Xuan gave a slight smile.
âHow so, as a cultivator of the Sword Sect, do you not wish to accept a simple âFight Lawsâ challenge?â
Zhuang Chunqiuâs tone carried a hint of provocation.
He knew that Lu Xuan had only advanced to Nascent Soul not long ago, and that neither Divine Ability Secret Techniques nor Magic Artifact could be improved greatly in a short time. Furthermore, since the latter was a Spirit Plant Master, he sought to regain his lost ground with Lu Xuan.
As for himself, having advanced to Nascent Soul for over a hundred years and possessing abundant âFight Lawsâ experience as well as superior mana, Divine Sense, and Flesh Body, he was fully confident in defeating Lu Xuan.
âMr. Zhuang is not wrong, indeed Lu Mou is a cultivator of the Sword Sect.â
âHowever, if I were to accept every challenge that comes my way, wouldnât it appear that the name of the Dongxuan Sword Sect doesnât carry much deterrence?â
Lu Xuan said coldly.
âJunior Brother Zhuang, Friend Lu is here as a guest of the Fire God Palace. Your Spirit Beasts have already fought one round, so there is no need to spoil the harmony further.â
Yan Li spoke solemnly.
âItâs just a friendly exchange; it will certainly not harm the relationship between the two sects. You can rest assured, Senior Brother.â
Zhuang Chunqiu said offhandedly, turning his head to look at Lu Xuan.
âFriend Lu, Iâve heard that you are the famed Spirit Plant Master of the Sword Sect, with an astounding mastery in the Path of Spiritual Plants, obsessed with all sorts of rare and unusual Spirit Plants.â
âI happen to have a Seventh Grade rare Fire Attribute Spiritual Seed. How about we make a bet?â
âOh? What exactly do you propose?â
Lu Xuan, who had intended to calm the situation down, suddenly became interested upon hearing about Zhuang Chunqiu possessing a rare Seventh Grade Spiritual Seed.
âWe will have a âFight Lawsâ within the Fire God Palace. If I lose, that Spiritual Seed will belong to you, Friend Lu.â
âAnd if you win, Mr. Zhuang, what do you require from Lu Mou?â
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
âI have the home field advantage, so I donât have many demands for your stake. If I win, you just need to apologize to the injured Spirit Beast of mine.â
Zhuang Chunqiu stated lightly.
He held the home field advantage and had ascended to Nascent Soul many years ago. To draw Lu Xuan out, he was willing to agree to this âFight Lawsâ challenge, even using a Seventh Grade Spiritual Seed.
The condition he offered seemed simple, but in reality, it involved Lu Xuanâs face. If outsiders knew that he had apologized to a Tier 6 Spirit Beast, it would be unknown how he could deal with others in the Cultivation World from then on.
âA Seventh Grade Spiritual SeedâŠâ
âMr. Zhuang has a keen eye for people.â
âThe temptation is truly irresistible for Lu Mou.â
Lu Xuan shook his head and let out a light sigh.
Originally, he wanted to keep the peace and continue to keep a low profile. But since youâve tempted me with a Seventh Grade Spiritual Seed, Iâll have to gladly accept that seed.
âLu Mou agrees to a âFight Lawsâ challenge with you, Mr. Zhuang.â
