Chapter 39 - Infuriate Him
Deng Zhen was very angry. He could not say a word.
Ruan Xiude was a potential disciple, and he had three months to protect him.
Deng Zhen really couldn't do anything to Ruan Xiude.
“However, if you want to avenge your cousin, I can give you a chance!”
At this time, Ruan Xiude's voice came.
Deng Zhen looked over and saw Ruan Xiude looking at him with a smile.
An ominous feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
“What do you mean?”
Deng Zhen asked.
“Didn't you want to teach me a lesson?”
“You take out three spirit stones of the substandard as a wager. If I win, these three spirit stones will belong to me. You can use this opportunity to teach me a lesson and avenge your cousin.”
Ruan Xiude said indifferently.
The substandard spirit stone was a stone that gathered spirit energy.
Martial cultivators above Qi Gathering Stage, whether it was cultivating, setting up formations, refining pills, and other aspects, all needed substandard spirit stones. Thus, spirit stones were used as currency.
One substandard spirit stone was equivalent to a million gold coins.
It could be said that the Ruan family's monthly income in the entire Dirtwich was only worth a few substandard spirit stones.
Three substandard spirit stones were equivalent to three million gold coins.
And this was a huge amount for Deng Zhen.
Hearing this, Deng Zhen couldn't help but hesitate.
He did not want to lose three substandard spirit stones.
He only had five substandard spirit stones on hand. This was what he had accumulated over the years since he entered the sect.
Regarding the spirit stones, the four great sects and the royal family had a very strict control over them.
Only in the sect would he be able to easily obtain some spirit stones.
At this moment, Ruan Xiude's mocking voice sounded.
“Deng Zhen, you are a Qi Gathering Stage martial artist. Do you dare to accept my challenge?”
“Your courage is too small.”
Deng Zhen clenched his fists tightly.
A lot of Outer Sect disciples had gathered here.
Hearing this, the disciples also started to clamor.
“His courage is too small.”
“If this matter were to spread to the elders, it would be interesting.”
“I reckon that the elders will be dissatisfied.”
The disciples began to mock Deng Zhen.
Deng Zhen's expression became even more unsightly.
This was just a simple scheme.
He was a Qi Gathering Stage martial artist, so it was only right for him to win.
But if he lost, he would be very embarrassed.
This was a gamble that clearly did not have any benefits.
He originally wanted to refuse.
But at this moment, he was unable to refuse.
If he did this, this matter would definitely spread out.
If the elders knew about this, their impression of him would be very bad.
He was not a top genius of the Outer Sect like the top ten geniuses of the Outer Sect.
If this continued, his future would be ruined.
He could only agree.
“Ruan Xiude, you are very powerful!”
Deng Zhen's expression was gloomy as he said coldly,
“Then what is your bet?”
At this point, he could only defeat Ruan Xiude.
He did not believe that Ruan Xiude could be his opponent!
Although Ruan Xiude was the number one genius among the new disciples this year.
But Ruan Xiude was only at the Enlightenment Stage. His talent had yet to be fully unleashed!
“If I lose, I will let you do whatever you want to me. How about it?”
Ruan Xiude said indifferently.
“Alright!”
Deng Zhen said in a deep voice.
Not only was Ruan Xiude's answer so straightforward, but not only was Deng Zhen not happy at all, but he also had a bad premonition in his heart.
However, he had no choice but to fight now.
Deng Xingyuan, who was at the back, had a hint of joy in his eyes.
He stared at the two of them.
He might be able to take revenge this time.
Ruan Xiude's eyes also flashed with a light, but his expression did not change.
His taunting had succeeded.
Next, it was his turn to reap the rewards.
What he valued was not just the three substandard spirit stones, but also a large amount of energy points.
If he could defeat Deng Zhen, it would probably cause quite a stir.
At that time, he would not be short of energy points.
As one of the four great sects of Sithen Kingdom, the Drifting Cloud Sect was a top force in Sithen Kingdom. It was a treasure land.
Many experts had quite a few good treasures.
But he was unable to obtain them because he did not have enough energy points.
Now, his chance had come.
After he had obtained a large amount of energy points, he would be able to duplicate them.
When the Outer Sect disciples heard this, they all retreated.
They gave up a wide area for Ruan Xiude and Deng Zhen to fight.
Immediately after, Deng Zhen looked at Ruan Xiude and said coldly,
“Ruan Xiude, you will fail!”
Deng Zhen rushed towards Ruan Xiude.
“Crimson Fire Palm!”
Deng Zhen arrived in front of Ruan Xiude and shouted in a low voice as he slapped out a palm.
A blazing palm print that was shining with flames landed.
In an instant, a wave of heat spread out.
The temperature of the surrounding air sharply rose.
The power of the attack caused the expressions of the Outer Sect disciples to change slightly.
This palm strike was probably not something that even a person in the Qi Gathering Stage could withstand.
Deng Zhen was indeed worthy of being an expert with a small reputation in the Outer Sect.
Everyone looked at Ruan Xiude. They wanted to see how the Enlightenment Stage would deal with this attack.
Ruan Xiude's expression did not change as he easily dodged the attack.
“His speed is so fast!”
“What a brilliant movement technique!”
Many of the surrounding disciples exclaimed in surprise.
This caused the Qi Gathering Stage disciples among them to feel ashamed of themselves.
This scene caused everyone to be shocked.
He was indeed worthy of being the number one genius among the new disciples that even the Third Elder had praised.
The disciples thought to themselves.
“Is this the True Qi?”
Ruan Xiude muttered in a low voice as his eyes flashed.
The True Qi was a type of energy that was formed by absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and refining it through one's cultivation technique.
However, this was the first time Ruan Xiude had seen its power.
Ruan Xiude knew that it was impossible for him to withstand it head on.
Otherwise, a large scar would definitely be left on his body.
“It seems that I have underestimated the combat strength of a Qi Gathering Stage cultivator.”
Ruan Xiude shook his head slightly as his expression remained calm.
Deng Zhen realized that his palm had landed on nothing, and his face turned serious.
He knew that Ruan Xiude's strength far exceeded his expectations.
He did not dare to be careless.
“Snake Steps!”
Immediately, he used his movement technique to chase after them.
