There are people coming and going in front of the huge gate of Shiyu City, and there is a large open space next to it. This empty space serves as a simple arena.

No obvious fighting is allowed inside Shiyu City. If any monks are caught fighting in the city, they will face severe punishment.

Of course, this obvious range is worth studying, and it will vary from person to person. If the young master of the Kuang family was beating up and smashing things in Shiyu City, I am afraid no one would dare to punish him. Instead, they would offer the treasure with both hands and let him smash it to his heart's content.

The function of the arena is very special, including the role of justice. As long as you are willing to pay, you can easily hire a martial artist from the civil fire realm or even the martial fire realm to protect the arena.

The sun has not yet fully risen, and Lu Ren is already leaning against the city gate with a long sword in hand. Under the sun, the knuckles holding the sword are covered with small scars, which are the results of recent practice.

Lu Ren's mood was complicated. He hoped that Qin Long would come to duel soon. When he beat him, he would not only wash away the previous shame, but also dominate Zhu Luan. However, the shadow of defeat in the first battle made him worry about his recent past.

He is not trained enough and is still worried about not being able to defeat Qin Long.

Thinking of Zhu Luan's charming appearance, Lu Ren gritted his teeth, and when no one was paying attention to him, he took out an ordinary-looking pill from his arms and quickly hid it in his sleeve.

It was a third-level elixir he had stolen, a vitality pill. After swallowing it, it could generate a large amount of spiritual energy of its own attributes in the Dantian, allowing a Wenhuo Realm monk who was on the verge of death to instantly recover 30% of his spiritual energy. It was very useful.

Yes, third-level elixirs can only be used by Wenhuo Realm monks. Lu Ren only has the strength of the early stage of foundation building, which is why he hesitates. The consequences of using Huoqi Pills are very serious.

The Huoqi Pill is not an evil thing like the Blood Talisman. Although it still fills the Dantian with spiritual energy, the former is gentler and causes less damage. Even so, taking it hastily will cause injuries to the monks. He may not be able to get out of bed for half a month in the future.

Therefore, Lu Ren does not intend to use it unless he is in desperate situation.

Touching the small bulge on the cuffs, Lu Ren's anxious heart finally calmed down.

A black figure appeared at the end of the road, walking slowly.

"Have you brought Huang Jingtie?" A hoarse voice came from behind Molong's mask, and that confident tone gave Lu Ren an indescribable sense of oppression.

"certainly."

Lu Ren took out a small golden object, flashed it in front of Qin Long's eyes and then took it back: "We will ask the martial artist to protect the field now and submit the bet between both parties."

Beside the arena, a burly man sat at a simple long table, picking up the large wine gourd on the table and taking a sip from time to time.

"You two brats are also coming to duel? Which martial artist do you want to invite?" the strong man asked slowly, burping from wine.

His half-closed eyes swept over Lu Ren and rested on Qin Long's body. A hint of surprise flashed across his drunken eyes.

"It's strange. It's obviously a Qi training realm, so how can it give me a feeling of danger? Is it a disguise?" The strong man didn't give up and checked it with his spiritual energy again. The answer he got was still a Qi training realm.

"Yes, we are asking for Wenhuo Realm martial arts masters." Lu Ren took out a hundred gold coins and placed them on the long table in a pretentious manner.

"Hey, wait until I call someone for you." The strong man showed an expression that I knew was like this. He swept the gold coins into his arms with disgust and stood up to leave.

"etc."

"No need to use slow fire. We'll invite martial arts masters from the martial fire realm." Qin Long suddenly reached out and stopped the strong man.

The strong man stopped, looked at Lu Ren, and then at Qin Long, as if he was asking about their final decision.

"Haha, Mo Long, I asked you what you are going to do. It turns out that you are so afraid of death that you actually want to ask a martial artist from the Martial Fire Realm to protect you."

Lu Ren was slightly startled when he heard Qin Long's request, and then laughed heartily, driving away any trace of anxiety in his heart.

Field protectors are a very special profession. They are not only responsible for refereeing both sides of the fight, but can also intervene in the fight when one party is in danger upon request, greatly reducing the casualty rate of duels.

In ordinary gambling battles, martial arts warriors in the Wenhuo realm are cheap and have enough combat power. It is true that martial arts masters in the Martial Fire realm have more superior combat power. However, for monks in the foundation building stage, they are also suppressed instantly. Wenhuo and Wuhuo are essentially the same.

It is said that there is no difference, but the price of a martial artist in the latter is several times that of the former.

"I'll pay the extra money."

Wow, the bag containing hundreds of gold coins was thrown in front of Lu Ren. The gold coins rolling down the bag made a crisp and clattering sound. The yellow-orange light illuminated Lu Ren's eyes blood red, and a faint anger emerged from the bottom of his heart.

.

"Damn, I didn't expect this body cultivator to be so rich. My Luan'er must have been dazzled by his money!"

Lu Ren's qualifications were poor. Although the Lu family was an aristocratic family, an untalented monk was not qualified to receive their attention.

Therefore, Lu Ren not only has no supply of elixirs and spiritual materials, but his monthly salary is only a pitiful one hundred gold coins. Fortunately, he has a pair of parents who care about their son and will give him more than one hundred gold coins every month for him to practice. However, all this money is

Lu Ren used it to tease Zhu Luan's smile.

Seeing Qin Long, a first-year physical practitioner, casually handing over hundreds of gold coins to hire a martial artist, the jealousy in his heart made him feel uncomfortable. He wished he could just crush him to death right now and take away all his money and give it to Zhu Luan.

"Uncle, please find a martial arts master from the Martial Fire Realm."

This was the first time Qin Long was invited to a duel, and he didn't know the details clearly, but he still knew the title of martial artist.

Thinking of his near-teleportation after exploding with all his strength, and the thick tree trunk that was broken by one punch, Qin Long decisively chose the most expensive martial artist. He was not beaten to death himself, but he was afraid that Lu Ren would not be as tall as a big tree.

solid.

"Huh? This guy has a lot of vision!"

"Martial fire realm martial arts masters are absolutely worth every penny. No matter how fierce your fighting skills are, they can still save your life at the critical moment!"

The strong man had a drunken look on his face, but his hands quickly took the bag and the gold coins on the table into his arms, grinned an ugly smile, and sat behind the table.

"This...Uncle, we need to hire a martial artist. Can you see if the next step is..." Qin Long reminded him tactfully when he saw that the other party did not move.

"Oh, I haven't done this for a long time and I almost forgot!" The strong man looked at Qin Long with a smile, nodded the table with his finger and said: "Both parties in the betting battle need to submit bets. After I verify that the items are of equal value, you two can start.

It’s a gambling fight.”

Seeing Qin Long crumbling in front of the drunk man, Lu Ren couldn't help but feel so happy. He thought to himself: "What if you have money? It's just rubbish body training. I'm an ordinary person who dares not to sneeze at you. You still have to be here."

Stand and wait for me to take action, so that you can see the identity and strength of the orthodox monks!"

Lu Ren squeezed Qin Long away, first used his spiritual energy to check the identity of the strong man, and after confirming that he was an ordinary person, he looked arrogant, slapped the table arrogantly and said: "Hey, I said you are a drunkard.

, I am the young master of the Lu family in the outer city, Lu Ren, is a mortal worthy of laughing with me here? The money has been given to you, so call the martial arts master of the fire realm!"

Qin Long next to him took two steps back silently when he saw this, and sighed helplessly: "What a ungrateful idiot. Since the other party can smile in front of you, a foundation-building monk, how can he really be an ordinary person?"

Lu Ren did not notice Qin Long's actions. Instead, he waited proudly for the strong man to apologize to him.

However, the expected sound did not sound. Instead, a terrifying flow of spiritual energy appeared from the body of the strong mortal man in front of him.

"Am I worthy now?"

A clear aroma of wine appeared out of thin air, and as the blue aura kept fluctuating, the strong man's voice became erratic, but the majesty within it did not diminish at all.

Pedestrians coming and going at the city gate not far away were also attracted by the majestic spiritual energy, thinking that there were monks in the martial arts realm fighting, so they gathered around one after another.

"Water attribute martial fire aura..."

A trace of cold sweat fell from his forehead. Lu Ren never thought that the drunk man in front of him was actually a master in the martial arts realm.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Master, I didn't know you were Wu Huo..." Lu Ren apologized in horror, nodding and hunching like a pug.

"That's all, submit the bet." After removing the spiritual energy, the strong man returned to his previous drunken cat appearance, tapping on the table, urging the two to start the duel as soon as possible.

Lu Ren didn't dare to make any more mistakes. He immediately took out Huang Jingtie from his arms and placed it on the table. Then he looked at Qin Long and said fiercely: "The rules of gambling require that the bets placed by both parties must be of equal value.

This piece of yellow iron is worth more than 10,000 gold coins. I don’t want to kill you. If you can’t get it and leave Zhu Luan as soon as possible, I can spare your life.”

Originally, Lu Ren just wanted to exchange Huang Jingtie for Zhu Luan, but now that he saw Qin Long was so rich, he also had the evil thought in his heart to take his money as his own.

"I really don't have 10,000 gold coins." Qin Long said honestly. He was practicing without refining weapons, so he didn't have much money left, and he couldn't even take out 10,000 gold coins at once.

"But let's see if this works." Before Lu Ren's complacency had completely dissipated, Qin Long pulled out a book of exercises and placed it in front of the strong man.

"Five Elements True Physique Jue?"

Lu Ren's eyes widened at that moment. The deeds of Emperor Yuan Tian had become a myth throughout the Cultivation Continent, and everyone knew about the Five Elements True Body Art he cultivated.

Not only Lu Ren, but also the Martial Fire Realm man behind the long table showed a surprised look on his face after the Five Elements True Body Art.

"Little monk, are you sure you want to use this skill to make a bet?"

He had long known that the black-robed monk in front of him was not simple, but he did not expect that he would reach the level of casually taking out a book of immortal-level exercises.

Qin Long couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard the respectful tone of the other party, scratched his mask and said.

"Call me Mo Long. This skill is not as serious as you think. It is a fake skill that I bought from the Li Family Auction House. There is no spiritual thought in it."

"Hey, let me tell you, with your kind of physical training, what qualifications do you have to use immortal-level skills?"

When Lu Ren heard that the Five Elements True Physique Art was a fake, he said it disdainfully, completely unaware of the solemn expression of the martial fire realm monk.

"What an idiot. The aristocratic families in Shiyu Outer City are as stupid as you and should have been exterminated long ago."

The strong man glanced at the Lu man and looked down upon the young man who called himself the young master of the Lu family.

Being in the realm of martial arts, he naturally understands the Li family better than ordinary people.

The auction price of this fake exercise book is tens of thousands of gold coins at least. If you can meet someone you like, it can be even higher.

Since the man in black robes in front of him can spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy this piece of garbage and just keep it on his body, then his status is definitely not ordinary.

He made up his mind that if he encountered danger soon, he would save the man in black robe even if he took action to maim Lu Ren.

"That's enough. This little monk, even if this skill book is a fake, it's enough to make this bet. You can start this competition at any time."

"Well, let's get started."
