Chapter 426: Chapter 106 Gentle Has Arrived [Two-in-One]_2 Chapter 426: Chapter 106 Gentle Has Arrived [Two-in-One]_2 Upon hearing these words, the Chief Instructor immediately cheered up.

He sternly said to everyone, “What are you staring at? Didn’t I also lose? Let me tell you, we Jianghu people are always true to our words. I’ll record it all. If anyone doesn’t hand over the money, don’t blame me for cursing! Is refusing to accept a loss and blaming others something a human could do? Even a demon wouldn’t be able to do that!”

Everyone: “…”

What’s going on?

Why did your stance change so quickly?

How did you suddenly go from being furious at Gu Yunfan to being furious at us?

Something’s not right, right?!

Everyone and every demon was a creature of clear mind, the more they thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong, the more they pondered, the more they feared there was something else going on!

But now that the die is cast, it’s a fact that they’ve lost, this bill…no matter how aggrieved they feel, they must admit it!

However, the sure-win duck has flown away and spilled their pot of good soup. Even though they can afford to lose, it’s not like Gu Yunfan, who was wiped out due to a loss and brought disaster to his home.

But who wants to lose? It’s really frustrating!

Why does this feeling of being tricked always linger in my mind?

Within a span of five hours, the gentle battle record number still remained at six hundred and thirty-three, as if it was frozen in place!

So far, Wen Shumo’s battle record number had already reached six hundred and sixty-two, officially surpassing Gentle’s and topping the list.

Yue Kong’s battle record number had also reached six hundred and twenty-seven, currently ranked third, getting closer and closer to Gentle, it would only be a matter of time before he surpassed.

Well, Jing Wuke’s battle record number had also resumed its rapid rise, it seems that the damage he suffered earlier had been handled properly and no longer affected his fighting capacity…

After all, everyone carries something to save their lives, this was a point they didn’t need to think about to know.

Even though Jing Wuke’s progress in gaining battle accomplishments had been somewhat slow due to his previous healing, he still had over five hundred. Considering his previous performance and his current rate of accumulation, catching up to Gentle was not a big issue at all.

But what really concerned everyone was, how could Gentle be so patient this time?

Or rather, isn’t he being too patient?

…

After a full seven hours had passed.

Feng Yin, who had been quietly hiding and recovering in the tree hole, had completely restored his vitality. Moreover, through the Wutong tree, he knew that there were still quite a few Fire Crows outside, and patrols had become the norm.

Given the situation, it wasn’t too dangerous for Feng Yin and Feng Ying to team up. Their combat power was much lower than before.

But the commotion he had caused earlier was just too big, Feng Yin was not sure whether the higher-ups of humans and demons were aware of him. He didn’t dare to bet whether anyone had noticed his previous state, and more importantly, whether anyone would see him emerging from a perfectly intact tree.

That would be… very unpleasant!

The exposure of that trump card was something Feng Yin absolutely couldn’t accept.

Luckily, the current round had yielded a lot, so he patiently hid at the base of the tree roots, waiting for a better opportunity to arise.

Finally…

The tree conveyed a message, mixed with a reluctant emotion: “There are no Fire Crows around.”

Although it had only just gained a rudimentary consciousness, it knew that once its master left this time, it would be difficult to see him again.

“Don’t be sad, we’ll have other opportunities in the future.”

Feng Yin comforted the Wutong tree, then pointed at it again.

Spirit Gathering, three complete cycles.

The foundations of this Wutong tree had already surpassed many ancient trees within Yuezhou City.

Once it had fully integrated the fiery energy within itself, it would certainly progress several steps further and reach a new realm!

With deep gratitude, the Wutong tree abruptly shook its body and produced three planks of Wutong wood before Feng Yin.

“Master, please take these.”

“Once these things are separated from the body, they can no longer return.”

The Wutong tree’s leaves rustled in the mountain wind.

“Good.”

Feng Yin let Feng Ying put away the three planks. He caught a glimpse of some patterns on them, but due to the pressing time, he didn’t have the leisure to take a closer look.

At this moment, it was the darkest part of the night, but it was the early morning. From a distance, the sounds of battle could still be heard.

Feng Yin quietly emerged from the ground far away from the tree roots. This was a passageway the Wutong tree had created for him, meticulously ensuring that not a speck of dust would touch him.

So when Feng Yin emerged from there, he was clean and tidy from head to toe. He looked like he had just returned from a banquet, and didn’t seem like someone who had just crawled out from under the ground.

The tree roots worked quickly to return the hole to flat ground, but in the end left a small hole, sticking out a thin root, showing its reluctance to part.

Feng Yin reached out and held it, gently shaking it.

The tree roots conveyed an endless attachment, and after a while, it finally let go of his hand. It shook one last time, then quickly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

…

“Eh, Gentle has started to move again!”

Although the betting game had ended, there were still people paying attention to Gentle’s movements. As soon as Gentle’s number jumped from six hundred and thirty-three to six hundred and thirty-five, someone already exclaimed.

Unfortunately, the majority of people just weakly turned their heads to look, then immediately turned back, bored and dejected.

Their faces were filled with utter sadness.
