Chapter 360: Chapter 357: Agreement at the Fifth Level_1

Translator: 549690339

As expected, when Steward Xu finished speaking, the geniuses nurtured by Beishan Main City began to make a fuss, as if someone had stepped on their tails, eager to jump up immediately and point at Yang Chen’s nose to show their disagreement.

“Him?”

“Are you kidding me?”

“Haha, does he really think he can make it through seven or eight levels in one go?”

Steward Xu listened as his words enraged all the geniuses and chuckled while stroking his beard, looking like he was just enjoying the show.

Knowing that Steward Xu didn’t have any good intentions, Yang Chen walked straight towards the Trial Tower.

Since he was pushed into the spotlight, he had no choice but to go through with the challenge.

However, the geniuses of Beishan Main City were not willing to let him go through so easily.

“Hey, your name is Yang Chen, right? How about… we make a bet? Haha, if you can make it through the fifth level, I’ll call you grandpa. If you can’t, leave Beishan Main City and never use the Trial Tower again,” a genius who reached the Ling Wu Realm Peak in his thirties looked at Yang Chen and said leisurely.

Yang Chen initially didn’t want to bother, but this man’s mocking tone annoyed him, and the man became increasingly aggressive.

“What’s the matter, Yang Chen, are you afraid?”

“Haha, you were too afraid to come out for a walk just now, and now you’re too afraid to take a bet? How pathetic is this year’s Genius Selection Competition champion? The champions of past competitions were not like this.”

“But in the end, they all got beaten up pretty badly, hahaha.”

In the past, if the champion of the Genius Selection Competition was not from their city of Beishan, they would inevitably be humiliated by the others when they tried to challenge the Trial Tower.

Yang Chen could tolerate ordinary provocations.

But when it came to deliberate provocation, treating him like a pushover, he couldn’t stand it any longer.

If he didn’t teach these people a lesson today, they would continue to treat him like a pushover in the future. He wasn’t planning to only attempt the Trial Tower once. To have a smooth future experience in the tower, he had to show these people what he was capable of.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen turned his head coldly and looked at the aggressive man in front of him, “Are you the one who wants to bet?”

“Oh? Kid Yang Chen, do you dare to take the bet? Haha, I thought you’d be more cowardly, but it seems you do have some backbone,” Ma Hangbo cracked his neck, not taking Yang Chen seriously.

In the current time, reaching the Spirit Martial Realm in their thirties was considered outstanding. Even entering the Half-step Yuan Martial Realm before the age of forty would be a given, and there was even a chance to break into the Origin Martial Realm. Entering the Origin Martial Realm before the age of forty meant he had a chance to reach the True Martial Realm in the future.

He believed he had extraordinary talent, so what could Yang Chen possibly be compared to him?

Yang Chen didn’t even glance at Ma Hangbo, “Stop wasting time with your words. If you want to bet, you can bet any time. But do you really think your ‘grandpa’ title is worth that much? We can bet, but if I break through the first five levels, I’ll just get a ‘grandpa’ from you, while if I don’t, I’ll have to leave immediately. Do you think I’m full and bored?”

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Ma Hangbo’s face turned red, while others from Beishan Main City couldn’t help laughing.

Indeed, Ma Hangbo overestimated the value of his ‘grandpa’ title.

Put it bluntly, his hundred ‘grandpa’ titles couldn’t even exchange for one chance to challenge the Trial Tower, let alone asking others to never enter the Trial Tower again.

Yang Chen saw that Ma Hangbo had nothing to say, and spoke coldly, “Before you make a bet, think about your wager. Don’t just use some worthless thing to bet against me; it will only make you look the same as those worthless things.”

Yang Chen had no more expectations for Ma Hangbo.

A man in his thirties should have long lost his childishness and appeared stable.

But under the nurturing of Beishan Main City, he became like a flower in a greenhouse, having a poor mentality after living for more than thirty years.

Ma Hangbo had an average temperament. Now that he was mocked by Yang Chen, he felt humiliated and angered. He wanted to fight but knew that Steward Xu wouldn’t let him. All he could do was shout, “Yang Chen, I’m willing to bet 500,000 spirit stones with you!”

Yang Chen initially planned to ignore him and leave, but hearing this, he paused, turned his head, and laughed.

It seemed that his provocation had some effect, at least Ma Hangbo was angry.

However, Yang Chen had no intention of agreeing, and coldly said, “500,000? Are you giving alms? Or are all the geniuses of Beishan Main City so stingy? After all that determination, you only come up with 500,000? Do you believe me if I tell you that I can take out one million spirit stones right away?”

Since Steward Xu wanted to push him to the forefront,

Fine, no problem.

If he wanted to do it, then he would stand on this forefront and have some fun with them.

He had nothing to fear because he indeed had 1,000,000 spirit stones in his possession.

It must be said that the geniuses hadn’t taken Yang Chen seriously at first, but after Yang Chen’s words, they were genuinely enraged.

“Ma Hangbo, where are your spirit stones? Can you be a little less stingy?”

“You want to bet with someone, and you only have 500,000?”

“Put up your spirit stones.”

Ma Hangbo wanted to curse.

It was easy for them to say, but why didn’t they put up their spirit stones and bet with someone?

However, what could he do? He was the one who wanted to bet.

Five hundred thousand spirit stones were already a considerable amount for him.

But he couldn’t bear Yang Chen’s mockery from the bottom of his heart, so he could only shout angrily, “Six hundred thousand!”

“Nonsense.” Yang Chen turned around and walked away.

“Seven hundred thousand!”

Yang Chen didn’t even care.

“One million!” Ma Hangbo’s heart was bleeding. This was all he had saved up for so many years, but thinking about Yang Chen’s hateful face, he was filled with anger and didn’t care about anything else.

In one word, bet.

As for Yang Chen, he only turned around slowly after hearing the offer.

“Fine, I’ll bet with you! One million, remember that,” Yang Chen said coldly. “If I don’t make it to the fifth level, I’ll leave immediately and never bother with the Trial Tower again. But if I do, there are so many people here today, and Steward Xu is standing here too; one million spirit stones, Steward Xu, you can see it clearly, right?”

Steward Xu scolded Yang Chen in his heart for dragging him into this.

If he came forward now, this wager would be valid. He could only say reluctantly, “No problem, one million spirit stones. But, young friend Yang Chen, you also have to be willing to accept the results of the bet. If you don’t make it to the fifth level, what should you do?”
