Chapter 58: Wait for a Moment
Gu Hu's face turned extremely ugly, sitting in a chair pretending not to have heard, but Yi Chen did not let it go, reminding him.
The people present finally reacted and turned their heads in unison to look at Gu Ho, wanting to see how he would respond.
Now Gu Huo cursed in his heart, he didn't think that the Tian Du Forest really had a level 5 magical beast, and to make matters worse, he made a bet with someone in public.
If it were just an ordinary gamble, losing face and some money wouldn't be a big deal, but this one has wagered lives.
Now he should not, nor should he not, his face was gloomy and almost dripping with water. If the appointment is broken, what will be lost is the reputation of Gu's family; if the appointment is kept, what will be lost is his life.
"What? Is the host of Gu's family really going to welch on his promise? Alas, it's truly disappointing. I thought the host of Gu's family was an upright and honest person, but it turns out he's actually a petty person."
Yi Chen made a painful and regretful expression, but in his heart he was secretly pleased.
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the scene looked at Yi Chen with speechless eyes, which was too damaging?
"Yi Jia Yongcai, don't be too arrogant." Gu Huo didn't respond, but Gu Lin couldn't sit still, turning his head to glare at Yi Chen with a gloomy gaze.
"Are you kidding me? You can't say that, participating in the gamble was your own decision, I didn't force you." He shrugged his shoulders, and Yi Chen had no intention of backing down.
If there were no fifth-level magical beasts, the Gu family would probably also mock and humiliate the Yi family. Since that's the case, why did Yi Chen want to let them off?
Yi Zeqing didn't stop him, and instead, his eyes showed a hint of relief. As a descendant of the Yi family, he wasn't ruthless enough, and he wasn't decisive enough in his actions. How could he possibly inherit the Yi family's legacy in the future?
"What a vengeful little brat, fortunately he's just a mediocre talent, otherwise if he were to grow up, the good days of the Gu family would probably come to an end." Many cultivators looked at Yi Chen with disdain.
"It was just a joke, why take it seriously?" The atmosphere was extremely tense, and the one in power stood up with a smile.
The Gu family and those in power were originally allies, how could he just sit back and do nothing.
"Chen Er, that's enough. Now is not the time to thoroughly fall out with them." Yi Chen was just about to counterattack when Yi Siqing beside him pulled him back and reminded him in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"The former master of this house is really disappointing. Alright, since those in power have spoken up for you, I'll spare your life this time."
Gu Hu couldn't possibly hand over his life, and Yi Chen just wanted to strike a blow. After nodding secretly, he very magnanimously waved his hand, pretending to let bygones be bygones.
He should have been, but he wasn't. He shouldn't have been, but he didn't lose either. Gu Huo's face turned bright red, feeling a sweetness in his throat, a mouthful of fresh blood gushing out, but he forcibly swallowed it back down.
Otherwise, if people find out that he was actually made to spit blood by a little ghost, it would be even more embarrassing.
"Good job, Yi Chen brother!" Jia Xin appeared beside him at some point, a faint smile floating on his pale face.
"It's just a small trick, not even worth mentioning." Yi Chen waved his hand, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
"You mediocre talent, I hope you can laugh your way out of this." Gu Lin's eyes were filled with intense murderous intent as he glared at Yi Chen.
Yi Chen didn't say much more, his mouth curled up in a cold arc, and he glanced at Gu Lin with the corner of his eye.
The storm passed like this, and after a flurry of discussion, everyone fell silent again, refocusing their attention on the Dragon General's battle for supremacy.
"The final round of the Dragon's Domination has officially begun, those who obtained the Three-Star Beast Soul last round come here to verify and receive your opponent numbers." a guard shouted.
After that round, only about a hundred young people were left on the field, but they all turned their heads to look at Gu Lin, and then shook their heads and gave up the competition.
Gu Lin actually has a Zhen Hun Realm cultivator, they are not opponents at all. Originally with Jia Xin and the Second Prince around, they might still have had a chance to rely on luck to compete.
Moreover, the Gu family is one of the three major families, and they would rather give up the competition than offend a powerful person.
The last remaining contestants all walked away, leaving only Gu Lin walking alone to the checkpoint, pulling out a third-level beast soul.
"That birdman actually killed a demon beast before snatching the treasure." Seeing the third-level beast soul, Jia Xin scolded in a very unpleasant tone.
Mentioning the treasure, Jia Xin was very depressed. Originally, he found a cave and obtained two good things from inside, but unexpectedly, they were discovered by the Second Prince and others.
The two sides fought a fierce battle and finally encountered a level 5 demon beast, nearly losing their lives. The two treasures also disappeared without a trace.
However, when mentioning the treasure, a smile appeared on Yi Chen's face. The appearance of the fifth-level demon beast also happened to cover up the truth that the thing was taken by him.
But he didn't think much of it and refocused his attention on the scene, planning to wait until Gu Lin finished appraising before going up again.
"Third-level beast soul, congratulations to Master Gu Lin for qualifying for the finals." The guard checked from behind and returned the beast soul to Gu Lin, shouting at the same time: "Who else wants to test their beast soul?"
A loud voice echoed in the air, but no one responded. Those contestants who were originally full of confidence all gave up entering the final round.
"Gu Lin is at the Zhen Hun Realm, going up there would be suicidal." The young man who withdrew was secretly scolding in his heart.
"No one dares to challenge Gu Lin, it seems that this year's Dragon King competition has already been won by the Gu family." Many cultivators discussed.
"Congratulations to Gu's family for winning the championship again!" Seeing this scene, many forces that were on good terms with Gu's family hastened to flatter them.
"Thanks for your support, tonight our family is hosting a banquet, and we invite all of you brothers and friends to come and join us."
At this moment, Gu Huo's face finally eased a lot, and he stood up to deal with those who came to curry favor.
Gu Lin, standing in the center of the field, also puffed out his chest, with a proud and arrogant expression on his face, giving off an air of being a crane among chickens.
"Congratulations, Young Master Gu." The guard who had just helped Gu Lin inspect the beast soul, with a flattering expression on his face, suddenly opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "The new Dragon General is... Gu..."
"Wait a minute." The last word of the guard had not been shouted out yet, when a faint voice echoed in the air.
The people present were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads towards the source of the sound and found that it was actually Yi Chen who said this.
"It's Xiaoyongcai." As soon as they saw him, Gu Lin and Gu Huo's faces gradually darkened.
"I still have a third-level beast soul here."
Becoming the focus on the field, Yi Chen's face remained calm and collected, slightly shrugging his shoulders. With a flick of his right hand, a third-level beast soul appeared in the palm of his hand.
This is the beast soul he obtained from killing the demon just now.
"Hiss." A faint arc appeared at the corner of Yi Chen's mouth as he casually tossed it out, and the third-level beast soul shot towards that guard with a breaking sound, only to be caught extremely quickly by the latter.
