The Post Sky Tipping Era
Chapter 444 - 314 Another One Goes Mad_3

Bet duel?

The other students listening to the lecture nearby suddenly became alert.

Judging from the strength Zhao Fangji had just displayed, he could almost be called invincible within the Spiritual Realm. That kind of power unleashed after freeing oneself from bodily restraints could only be suppressed by someone in the Soul Realm. Even though Li Yi possesses mastery in Martial Arts, his chances of winning seemed slim in a direct confrontation.

"This kind of bet duel seems fair, but in reality, it’s anything but fair. It’s better to refuse," thought Jiang Mingtian as he assessed the situation silently to himself.

Di Zhu’an also recalled Li Yi’s performance during the initial assessment and felt that between the two, Zhao Fangji would likely have a bit more advantage in a real fight.

Li Yi paused upon hearing this, but then he grinned and said, "I also like the features of that world, but I’m afraid I might accidentally kill you. Then I wouldn’t get the stuff, and I’d be burdened with a life on my conscience. Not worth it. How about you put down ten exotic fruits first, then we go to the next hall and have a fight. If I lose, I’ll immediately transfer the Martial Arts to you in the next hall; if I win, I’ll take the fruits."

"Fine, let’s all be witnesses then."

Zhao Wuji was somewhat excited, as he hadn’t expected Li Yi to agree so readily, leaving him no room for regret. He placed ten silver exotic fruits on a nearby seat and then strode towards another hall.

"Hey, Li Yi, did you really agree? This guy obviously already has the strength of the Soul Realm. You’ll suffer a big loss if the fight happens," said Jiang Mingtian, his eyes widening as he stood up urgently.

"Just consider it like earning some pocket money while watching a movie. Don’t worry, it’s a sure win," Li Yi said with a smile, quite composed.

A sure win?

At these words, Jiang Mingtian was suddenly at a loss for words.

Could you not be so overconfident?

The power of the Soul Realm, could you really withstand a punch like that?

Jiang Mingtian had fought with an examiner and knew how fierce the Soul Realm was. Even when their powers were restrained, the physical advantages alone could crush him, leaving him battered and bruised.

Soon.

The two men left, heading to the adjacent hall, and closed the door, preventing anyone from watching.

"Li Yi can’t win."

Di Zhu’an shook his head, "That Zhao Fangji may be confident, but he does have the capabilities to back it up. With such strength in the Spiritual Realm, I don’t know how he could be beaten. He shouldn’t be staying in the Spiritual Realm; he should have condensed his soul to break through to the next realm. In my opinion, Zhao Fangji wants to fully develop his body’s potential before breaking through and unlocking all restraints, making himself a powerhouse in the Soul Realm."

"Don’t underestimate Li Yi. Since he agreed, he must be confident he can win," said Jiang Mingtian, even though he wasn’t confident about Li Yi himself, he still stepped forward to offer some supportive words.

After all, they were comrades and friends.

"Is the competition upon entering the academy this fierce? So simple and straightforward in plundering others’ cultivation resources? Hmm, learned something new," remarked someone nodding as if they had grasped some profound truth.

"Li Yi..."

A girl dressed in plain clothes murmured softly with her eyes cast down, lost in thought.

The man with purple pupils was crossing his legs, appearing casual, but his eyes twinkled with thoughts. Not being able to bring out a hundred thousand points himself, why not also bet against Li Yi like the others?

Win, and he’d have everything, without needing to sell his beloved spacecraft.

"No battle armors were allowed during the assessment, but they never said we can’t wear them during a fight."

The man with purple pupils was very confident in his victory over Li Yi within ten strikes, relying on the advantage of his battle armor.

Although Li Yi had mentioned he had also captured a liquid metal battle armor, he guessed that Li Yi probably didn’t have the access rights to use it.

However, at that moment.

With a creaking sound.

The door to the adjacent hall opened.

Li Yi walked out casually, returned to his seat, collected the ten silver exotic fruits, and then sat down. He popped a fruit into his mouth as if he were cracking melon seeds.

Crunch.

"Did you decide not to fight and chose to trade instead?" asked Jiang Mingtian with a puzzled face.

The others also all looked towards Li Yi with suspicion.

They had not heard any noise of a fight, and it hadn’t even been a minute since Li Yi and Zhao Fangji left—barely thirty seconds.

"No, it’s done. Zhao Fangji lost," said Li Yi, "I told you, it’s a sure win."

"How is that possible? Zhao Fangji loses within such a short time? I don’t believe it."

The man with purple pupils was shocked, standing up instantly, his towering frame moving towards the next hall.

Bang!

The two doors were pushed open with great force.

Everyone immediately looked in that direction.

Their faces changed abruptly, displaying utter disbelief.

They saw Zhao Fangji, who had been brimming with confidence just a moment ago, now lying on the ground, his lower body severeted, still standing in place. He was completely stunned, seemingly unable to comprehend his swift and inconceivable defeat.

"He really lost?"

The man with purple pupils trembled, instinctively taking a step back.

What exactly happened in those few seconds?

He turned to look at Li Yi, but Li Yi was busy eating his fruit and did not seem interested in offering much of an explanation.

At that moment, the man with purple pupils couldn’t help but retract his previous statement. Within ten strikes, he wouldn’t be able to defeat Li Yi, and he’d likely end up like Zhao Fangji—beaten.
