Chapter 297 - 297 297 Fifth-order Spirit Array

297: Chapter 297: Fifth-order Spirit Array 297: Chapter 297: Fifth-order Spirit Array The next day, the arena was even more explosive.

Today was the third day of the Lanling Martial Arts Conference.

The entry fee had doubled from the second day, but the number of people coming to the arena had only increased.

Today was the battle for the title of Martial Meeting Leader.

The ten who made it to the Divine Emperor List were geniuses, the geniuses amongst geniuses.

Today was the real climax of the Lanling Martial Arts Conference.

Many people, fearing their tight purse strings, had held back from entering the arena for the past two days just for today.

“Boss, I’ve put all my life savings on you.

You can’t let me down.”

Fat Cat, with his chubby body, squeezed through the crowd and came up to Long Yan.

“What kind of despicable thing have you done this time?”

That was Long Yan’s first reaction.

“He went out secretly last night to set up a betting table, betting on the fight between you and Jin Jiansheng.”

Lingxi rolled her eyes at Fat Cat, explaining to Long Yan, “Jin Jiansheng has a hundred to one odds.

If you lose, even if he sold himself he wouldn’t have enough to pay.”

“How much bet money did you collect?”

Long Yan looked at Fat Cat.

“Not much, just over twenty million Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”

Fat Cat said excitedly.

Last night, he had quietly opened a betting table for the life-or-death fight between Long Yan and Jin Jiansheng under the name of Pill King Hall.

Long Yan wins, odds are two to one; Jin Jiansheng wins, odds are a hundred to one.

After the news spread, many people came hastily to place their bets.

Without exception, they all bet on Jin Jiansheng winning.

Some even put all their life savings on it.

In everyone’s view, there was no suspense in the fight between Long Yan and Jin Jiansheng.

Long Yan was only a Heavenly Martial Sixth Level; Although powerful, Jin Jiansheng himself was Martial King, and also had special physique.

It was 90% probable that Jin Jiansheng would defeat Long Yan.

With these hundred to one odds, a single Spirit Stone could earn a hundred Spirit Stones.

This was a guaranteed profit, hard to find even with a lantern.

Just overnight, the betting money in Fat Cat’s hands had accumulated to over twenty million Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

“Damn cat, you actually hid this from me.

If I meet Jin Jiansheng, I’ll just forfeit straightaway and you’ll lose even your Tiger Whip.”

Long Yan glared at Fat Cat fiercely.

“Boss, please don’t!”

Fat Cat knew what Long Yan was thinking.

He was prepared to lose money, announcing, “You just wanna rob, right?

As long as you beat Jin Jiansheng, we’ll split the betting money, thirty-seventy.”

“Seventy for me.”

Long Yan said.

“Boss, you’re too greedy.

I can give you forty percent at most.”

Fat Cat took a step back.

“You don’t want your Tiger Whip anymore?”

Long Yan looked at Fat Cat maliciously.

“Fifty-fifty, isn’t that fair?”

Fat Cat looked woeful.

This was outright robbery by Long Yan, and the kind he couldn’t refuse.

“But honestly, Jin Jiansheng is very powerful, there’s a high chance I won’t be his match….”

Long Yan said.

“Boss, you can’t be this ruthless.

It’s not easy for me either, I didn’t sleep all night.

Split it forty-sixty, you take sixty percent, all good?”

Fat Cat was almost crying, as if the money was being carved out from his body.

“Jin Jiansheng does have a special physique….”

Before Long Yan could finish speaking, Fat Cat completely deflated, “Boss, you win.”

“That’s more like it.”

Long Yan smirked, watching Fat Cat’s dispirited appearance gave him a secret joy.

Additionally, the feeling of getting over ten million Medium Grade Spirit Stones out of the blue wasn’t too bad.

“Look, the Master of Lanling City is here!”

At this moment, someone shouted, and all eyes turned toward the sky.

In the sky, the people of Lanling City were flying towards the arena, led by the Master of Lanling City, the King of Lanling.

“King of Lanling?”

Long Yan’s gaze also fell on the King of Lanling, sizing him up.

King of Lanling was dressed in golden attire, a golden mask covering his face, hiding his features.

It wasn’t even clear whether he was male or female.

On the surface, the King of Lanling was the only Martial Venerable on Shenwu Continent, the strongest of Shenwu Continent.

Today was the power showdown for the leader of the Martial Meeting, and the King of Lanling had finally shown himself.

In a short while, King of Lanling had led Youlan and the others to the viewing platform and naturally took his place at the head.

Just by sitting there, an aura of the strong one emanated, suppressing the entire venue.

“Greetings to the Master of Lanling City!”

At this point, everyone stood up and bowed to King of Lanling.

Zhuge Qianzhong, Wu Kuangyun, and the others did the same.

Long Yan also complied, but in secret, he was sizing up King of Lanling.

The King of Lanling’s aura was hidden; it was impossible to sense any energy from him.

To those unaware, they might even think he was an ordinary person.

The King of Lanling merely nodded slightly, then signaled Asura King.

Asura King understood and, with a shift of his feet, he was instantaneously on the stage.

His gaze swept over the crowd, then spoke loudly.

“Everyone, today is the third day of the Lanling Martial Arts Conference, and also the final round of the competition, the Martial Meeting Leader power showdown.

The competition rules are based on a randomized draw.

Winning one match will advance to the next stage, losing a match will result in a direct loss of the opportunity to compete for the Martial Meeting Leader.”

Next was to draw lots.

Long Yan, Dugu Yan, and the other ten people successively went up to the arena to draw lots.

“Number one again.”

Long Yan gave a wry smile, he had drawn the number one lot.

“Alright, those who drew number one, come up to the stage to compete.”

Asura King said.

“Meeting in the first match, huh?”

At the same time Long Yan stepped onto the stage, Jin Jiansheng also arrived on the stage.

“On the ring, know when to stop.”

Asura King looked at Long Yan and Jin Jiansheng, said lightly after that, then moved to the side.

“Hold on!”

At that point, Gu Yunxiao stood up, made a salute to the surrounding people, finally looked at King of Lanling, and said: “Lord of Lanling City, Long Yan and my Ancient Sword Gate have some grudges.

A year ago, Long Yan and Jin Jiansheng set a date for a deathmatch, this is known to all in the world.

Now, a year exactly has passed.”

“A deathmatch naturally needs a life and death resolution.”

Upon saying this, Gu Yunxiao looked at Lu Xuanming, gave a fist and palm salute, and said: “Master Lu, I heard that you have a fifth-order spirit array.

I request you to use the fifth-order spirit array to seal the stage until the deathmatch between Long Yan and Jin Jiansheng is over.”

With the Fifth-order Spirit Array sealing the stage, even if Zhuge Qianzhong wanted to save Long Yan, it would be impossible.

In that case, Long Yan would definitely die.

“Despicable!”

Zhuge Qianzhong’s face changed and shouted at Gu Yunxiao: “Gu Yunxiao, what do you mean by this?

Do you not trust my Pill King Hall?”

Gu Yunxiao sneered and said: “I really don’t have a flattering opinion of Master Zhuge’s character.”

“You…”

Zhuge Qianzhong’s face further darkened.

“Senior Brother, using a spirit array to seal the stage is not necessarily a bad thing!”

Just then, Long Yan sent Zhuge Qianzhong a secret message.

“For a deathmatch, my Pill King Temple will absolutely not interfere!”

Since Long Yan was so confident, Zhuge Qianzhong decided to let things slide too.

“Xuanming, use the spirit array to seal the stage.”

At this moment, the ethereal voice of the King of Lanling came from under the golden mask.

“Yes!”

Lu Xuanming stood up, turned his palm, and a black scroll appeared.

Then, with a throw into the air, the black scroll appeared above the stage, array runes rushed out from within, combining into a large formation to seal the entire stage.

Then, the black scroll returned to Lu Xuanming’s hand.

This was a Fifth-order Spirit Array, even a Ninth Layer Wuking, could not break through it unless a Martial Venerable interfered.
