Chapter 56: Gamble!

  Two chapters have been updated! Please collect them!

  The first round can be said to be a sea election, and the real ones that can defeat the third-level magic beast are not many. Most of the participating cultivators stop at the outer periphery of the forest and finally give up reluctantly.

  When Yi Chen returned to Central Square, he found that there were only less than a hundred people left out of the several thousand participants, and the rest had been eliminated.

  "Yi Chen is back!"

  Yi Si Qing had been anxiously waiting, and when he saw Yi Chen slowly walking towards him, he visibly let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he doubted Yi Chen's abilities, but rather the forest was just too dangerous.

  "I didn't expect Yi Chen to still have two tricks up his sleeve. I wonder if he can obtain the third-level beast soul." The ruler of the empire said with a smile.

  "It's just a mediocre talent, I think he's been wandering on the edge of the forest all along, and returned without any achievement." Gu Huo said with a faint smile.

  Sarcastic remarks didn't faze Yichen, he preferred to use actions to slap his opponent in the face. Whistling nonchalantly, he slowly walked up to Yisiqing's side.

  "What's the result?" The third-level demon was not difficult for Yicheng, but Yisiqing couldn't help asking.

  "It went very smoothly, except on the way back, I encountered a level 5 magical beast, the Green Demon Tiger." Yi Chen said with a light smile.

  "Green Devil Tiger?" Yi Chen didn't control his speaking volume, and the people around him all heard his words, immediately turning their heads to look at Yi Chen.

  "Rumors have it that the Tian Du Forest has a fifth-level magical beast, but no one has ever confirmed it. Besides, even if you do encounter it, you won't be able to come back alive."

  Gu Huo sat quietly without moving, nor did he turn his head to look at Yi Chen, but simply said a light and airy sentence with a hint of disdain.

  "Right, I think he's just a mediocre person from Yi's family, and has never even entered the Tian Du Forest, only saying these things to save face."

  "Yes! I bet he won't be able to take out the third-level beast soul later, and will definitely use a fifth-level magic beast as an excuse." The two guards sitting behind Gu Ho also chimed in.

  "A group of idiots." The cold words entered his ears, and Yi Chen's expression didn't change as he spoke a light and airy phrase.

  "You little devil, who are you cursing?" One of the guards glared at Yi Chen with an unpleasant expression.

  "Whoever takes over will be scolded." Yi Chen shrugged and looked at the other person with a serious face.

  "You." The guard's face turned green, and he choked back a retort, sneering coldly: "Since you're so sure, then bring out the evidence! You said there was a fifth-level magical beast? Let it come out and let us take a look."

  "You don't deserve it." Very concise, Yi Chen didn't explain or argue, but said three straightforward words.

  His face turned bright red, and the guard was speechless. He was just a small guard, while Yi Chen was the young master of the Yi family. What right did he have to ask him for evidence?

  "Sure enough, you're a sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed little doll. Did your grandfather teach you to bully people with power?" Gu Hu glared at the guard, who shrank back, before turning his head to look at Yi Chen.

  "Are you teaching others to rely on brute force?" Yi Chen looked at the guard and said a sentence that made Gu Ho's face change.

  His words directly pointed out that the guard was a human being, while Gu Huo was a dog, and it was an absolutely sharp counterattack!

  "This little kid from Yi's family is indeed not simple. Let alone his martial arts skills, just this mouth of his is enough to infuriate people to death."

  The people around saw Gu Hu's expression like a dog eating shit, and they immediately started discussing it in private.

  "You are a crowd-pleaser, with no respect for your elders. This is what the descendants of the Yi family have become." Gu Huo was also the master of the Gu house, and after coming back to his senses, he said these words.

  "I, Yī Jiā's descendant, what qualifications do you have to point fingers? Trying to curry favor with the crowd, even if there really is a fifth-level demonic beast, what then?" Yì Sī Qìng coldly snorted and stood up. This statement had already made his stance clear.

  The commotion over here caught everyone's attention, and all heads turned this way, focusing on the situation.

  In front of so many people, it has already reached this point. Gu Huo can't back down now. If he takes a step back, it would be equivalent to showing everyone that Gu Huo is afraid.

  "What if there were no fifth-level magical beasts?"

  The Tian Du Forest is vast, but no one has ever seen a fifth-level magical beast. Gu Huo had been there several times before, so he was extremely confident and sneered inwardly.

  "Why don't we make a bet? If there's a level 5 magical beast, I'll give you my head as a chamber pot. But if not, your head will be the chamber pot for my family, how about that?" Yisi Qing said straightforwardly.

  "Isn't General Yi playing with fire? The Heavenly Forest has a fifth-level demon beast, but it's just a rumor."

  "He's too trusting of his grandson, isn't he? What an unfilial son, just to gain popularity and bring shame to the family." The people around them pointed and whispered among themselves.

  "Alright, I'll make a bet with you. Hope you can keep your promise." Gu Huo burst out laughing, this gamble he was 100% sure of winning.

  "I'm not a welcher, I hope you remember this bet." Yī Sì Qìng retorted.

  The two of them attacked each other again before sitting back in their original positions.

  "Grandfather, have you ever entered the Tian Du Forest and seen a fifth-level magical beast?" Yi Chen asked, he didn't know where Yi Siqing's confidence came from.

  "No." As a result, Yì Chén replied with these two words. Yì Sī Qìng shook his head and smiled: "A kind of intuition, I suppose. Besides, you're not the kind of person who seeks to impress the crowd."

  At this moment, Yi Chen finally understood that Yi Siqing was rushing towards his own trust. At the same time, a moving feeling rose in Yi Chen's heart.

  "Don't worry, old man. We'll just wait for his head to be used as a chamber pot tonight." With a playful smile, Yi Chen turned his head towards Gu Huo, with an air of absolute confidence.

  "It's strange, so much time has passed, why haven't Lin'er and the others returned yet?"

  After that little interlude, everyone refocused their attention on the Dragon General's battle for supremacy. As time passed, Gu Hu furrowed his brow.

  It's not just him, but also the ruler of the empire sitting next to him, who is slightly frowning.

  Gu Lin and his group have not returned yet, which has led to all sorts of speculation among the people who came to watch the fight, with ominous words spreading.

  "Roar!"

  Suddenly, under everyone's waiting eyes, from the direction where the Tian Du Forest was located, a shocking and earth-shaking roar burst out, followed by a series of deafening sounds, as if something was approaching this way.

  A strong sense of oppression descended, and everyone in the scene felt suffocated at this moment.

  "What a strong beastly aura, could it be?" Among the people present, only Gu Huo and Yi Siqing's four yellow soul realms were not affected. They turned their heads to look in the direction where the pressure came from.

  "Grandfather is in trouble, there's a level 5 demon beast!"

  Immediately afterwards, three disheveled figures emerged from afar, their bodies covered in wounds, their faces pale.
