The Legend of Min Hong

Chapter 298: The Wager



Chapter 298: The Wager

"Isn't that the little grandaunt of the Xi clan; Xi Mei?"

"Who else who have guts so inflated to make such a outrageous claim in here"

Someone replied the person who asked that question almost instantaneously

Even Min Hong who was walking over to the stage was stunned speechless

Min Qing and Qing Tan on the other hand simply sat next to each other and didn't even spare the little girl any attention whatsoever

"Do you have any pattern to which you want to challenge the trial?"

"I will have fight them all at the same time"

"!"

The entire arena went silent when they heard that statement, while Min Hong who made such a statement nonchalantly, simply stood there seemingly adjusting his mental state or something

Even Min Qing and Long Sha were slightly shaken, mentally

They might have defeated four or five of their opponents at once, but it had taken virtually almost everything they had

But challenging all ten at the same time, isn't that suicide or looking to be seriously beaten?

"I would also prefer it if the rest of the top ten outer court disciples are amongst them all"

Min Hong added, and simply began to walk in circles, seemingly taking some sort of measurements with each pace, but the entire crowd this time around didn't stay silent

They erupted in different sort of cheers, curses, jeering, encouragement and the likes, but only people such as the Fifth, the affiliate Sect Leaders of the Desert Sun Sect, and the Elder that was presiding over the trials itself

Before long all the ten opponents walked into the stage;

"I don't know if this lad is simply confident or stupidly overconfident" Sect Leader Mei snorted when she heard Min Hong's statements

"Well, can you punch a hole through fourth without losing a limb in the process?"

Sect Leader Lu of the Ghost King Sect jeered at the Sect Leader of the Flame Phoenix Sect whose face darkened the moment she heard that statement

This was because all of them in their group knew what happened the last time she tried to fight fourth; she couldn't sit well for a week when he was done with her, and it was the most shameful and embarrassing one week of her life...

Furthermore, everywhere she went to back then, they always offered her a seat to sit because they knew she couldn't

"If you two's duel could have such kind of result, do you still think someone who could render that same Fourth bedridden would be boasting about beating 10 outer court disciples?"

The Merchant Alliance Head added with a sneering gaze;

"If he did, then I will be utterly disappointed"

An unexpected voice drifted over from the side, and it was only then that everyone realized that the Sect Leader had abruptly appeared amongst them

"Isn't that the Sect Leader?"

"Yeah that's him!"

"Wait, but why is he sitting amongst the Elders and other Sect Leaders?"

"Who is he reserving his own seat for?"

"Wait, is it because someone with a higher authority of status is coming today?"

"Stupid! What are you saying?"

"It is already shocking enough that the Sect Leader would be present in an ordinary outer court 'War God Trials'..."

"So were you expecting the Princes and Princesses of the Imperial Clan to show themselves too?"

Several comments and reactions began to spread through the entire crowd when they noticed the presence of the sect leader amongst the elders and not his own seat at the highest point in the arena

Most didn't count it as much, despite the fact that it was shocking to them, but only a smart few were able to link that, to Min Hong's statement earlier, and finally, the political shenanigans they had previously predicted was happening

"Brother why do you think the sect leader left his seat empty."

Kun Lin asked from the side as Kun Chao looked at the sect leader chatting amongst other affiliate sect leader and Fifth, then with a scrutinizing frown, he guessed;

"There is a strong probability that, today's event might not end with this battle"

"Eeh, what do you mean?" Kun Lin couldn't wrap her head around her brother's response...

"Don't worry, when the main event begins, everything will naturally come to you"

Why he was able to predict the possible scenarios in an event before it even began, Kun Lin, on the other hand can accurately predict the proceedings of an event after it had begun

Min Hong however, who had been walking in circles for the past one minute or so finally stopped as he turned to look at the other side of the stage;

There, was ten outer court students waiting for him, some with an angry and malicious gaze, others with a sneering gaze and the final few, with a cautious gaze;

"I told you we would meet again, didn't I?"

Min Hong looked to a particular figure amongst the ten and spoke with a ridiculing grin

"I hope you can still keep that grin on your face when you're crawling on the floor with your guts splattered all over the place" Shen Wang spoke through gritted teeth

"Hehe he" Min Hong laughed ridiculously

"Alright, I will make this a little more interesting for you Let's have a wager"

Min Hong's face suddenly turned serious;

"If you can get within a foot from me, I will allow you to land a single free attack on me I don't care if you use all your strength" Min Hong sneered

"What!?"

"Just to reach within a foot from him!?"

"Even I can do that if I channel all of my energy into it!"

"If that guy can't even do that, then he really should be ashamed to keep cultivating!"

Several people began to react to Min Hong's statement once again, for the third time now

"Ha-ha ha, He is a sharp tongued little one, I see"

The Merchant Alliance Head blurted whilst the sect leader and Fifth looked at each other before shaking their heads with a helpless sigh

"This guy truly knows how to rile up his opponent" Fifth said after a while

"Well, one's mental condition determines how they will fare in battle"

"Thus, if you can get into your enemy's head, then you have already won the battle before it even begins."

The Sect Leader replied as he kept staring at Min Hong, scrutinizing him

"You-!"

Shan Wang found himself too stifled to even speak as he shut his eyes and snapped them open;

Boom!

The full cultivation of a 1 Star Nascent Soul stage erupted from his body as he took his first step towards Min Hong, covering half the distance at once, making the entire crowd gasp in shock, whilst Shen Wang saw his ego get fueled by their shock, but Min Hong simply stood there, still with a ridiculing grin

But the moment Shen Wang crossed into a 30 feet distance from Min Hong, Min Hong released his bloodline aura, including the aura that came with his physical body cultivation and spirit rings

Every form of aura he could form was released at this point, including the ones from unleashing his seven Daos;

Boom!

The gravity on the entire arena multiplied by a hundred fold as everyone found themselves glued to their sit, unable to move, except from two sets of people

Those who were amongst Min Hong's group, and the several strong experts on the stage who could still move, but found their speed slowed significantly

But for Min Hong's group, they didn't even feel it at all In fact, they even saw their total battle power surge by 40 percent, causing Kun Chao to sigh;

"Imagine if we had challenged our trials with such a boost to our powers and morale."

"We would have finished the battle just like Long Sha and Fei Qing did." Kun Lin felt the amount of power coursing through her meridians as she commented, absentmindedly...
