Chapter 339: Chapter 333: Serious

"Of course, Li Sheng!" that person looked at Su Chen as if he were an idiot, "Who else could it be but Li Sheng?"

Li Sheng.

It was Li Xing.

No one dared to directly call Li Xing by his name; Li Sheng was an honorary title.

Fearing that Su Chen might not know how fearsome Li Xing was, the man continued, "Li Sheng is invincible. Do you know what 899 steps mean? Simply put, Tai Heng, who is in second place, has a score of 592 steps."

Su Chen’s gaze paused, somewhat shocked.

This Li Xing, truly... was as fearsome as ever!

In every Divine Human assessment, it was simply Li Xing in a league of his own, with everyone else in another.

The next moment.

Su Chen turned and walked away.

Yet a thought firmly took hold in his mind—I must break Li Xing’s record!

I absolutely must break it.

Pride surged from deep within Su Chen.

If I’m not going to do something, I won’t do it at all; if I do it, I will be the best.

If I’m not going to be assessed, I won’t; but if I am, I will take first place and look down on everyone.

Thereafter, Su Chen headed towards the pavilion on the southern side of the Divine Human Field.

Soon, he arrived.

From afar, Su Chen could hear bursts of excited shouting:

"Li Tu first place, bet ten Crimson Xuan Stones!"

"Zhou Bu fifth place, bet one Crimson Xuan Stone!"

"Zhuge Yijian, I bet second place, six Crimson Xuan Stones!"

......

So it was.

It was the place for placing bets.

How could such a grand occasion as the Divine Human assessment not have betting?

The bookmaker, naturally, was the Divine Human City Law Enforcement Department; other powers didn’t have the strength to act as the house.

In front of the pavilion, a crystal sign had already been hung up, displaying the betting odds.

Regarding the bets, there were only five categories: who would take first, second, third, fourth, and fifth place, respectively.

Among them, the candidates for first place were Li Tu, Mo Qingwu, and Zhuge Yijian, with the odds being Li Tu at 1:1.05, Mo Qingwu at 1:3, and Zhuge Yijian at 1:10.

From the odds, it was clear that the Law Enforcement Department favored Li Tu to take first place, so betting on Li Tu for first place didn’t offer much profit, but even so, the crowded masses, a large majority still bet on Li Tu for first place; even if there’s little profit, a small gain is still a gain. It was a guaranteed deal, wasn’t it?

Almost everyone believed Li Tu was absolutely going to take first place, the only unknown being just how many steps Li Tu would actually climb?

The candidates for second place were Mo Qingwu, Zhuge Yijian, Zhou Bu, and Xu Qong. Zhou Bu, ranked fourth in the Renshen Manual and at the Half-Step Hollow Void Realm, was a Sword Cultivator, bloodthirsty and brutal, from the Taiheng Continent. Xu Qong, ranked fifth, was also at the Half-Step Hollow Void Realm, from the Qingyun Continent. The odds were, Mo Qingwu at 1:1.2, Zhuge Yijian at 1:2.5, Zhou Bu at 1:5, and Xu Qong at 1:10, clearly, the Law Enforcement Department favored Mo Qingwu to take second place.

The candidates for third place were Mo Qingwu, Zhuge Yijian, Zhou Bu, Xu Qong, Su Chen, and Huang Yu. Su Chen, needless to say, instantly killed Zhong Fa, taking over Zhong Fa’s previous sixth rank in the Renshen Manual. Huang Yu was ranked seventh, a Heavenly Eminent at the Peak Realm, just a hair’s breadth from the Half-Step Hollow Void Realm, possessing a Middle-grade Spiritual Weapon, from the Azure Spirit Continent. The odds were, Zhuge Yijian at 1:1.2, Mo Qingwu at 1:2, Zhou Bu at 1:3, Xu Qong at 1:4, Su Chen at 1:6, Huang Yu at 1:10. The Law Enforcement Department favored Zhuge Yijian to take third place.

The candidates for fourth place were Zhuge Yijian, Zhou Bu, Xu Qong, Su Chen, Huang Yu, Zheng Cun, and Xue Qiang. Zheng Cun was ranked eighth in the Renshen Manual, and Xue Qiang was ninth. The odds were, Zhou Bu at 1:1.2, Zhuge Yijian at 1:2, Xu Qong at 1:3, Su Chen at 1:4, Huang Yu at 1:5, Zheng Cun at 1:6, and Xue Qiang at 1:7. The Law Enforcement Department favored Zhou Bu to take fourth place.

The candidates for fifth place were Zhou Bu, Xu Qong, Su Chen, Huang Yu, Zheng Cun, Xue Qiang, and Zhu Wei. Zhu Wei was the tenth ranked individual in the Renshen Manual. The odds were, Xu Qong at 1:1.2, Zhou Bu at 1:2, Su Chen at 1:3, Huang Yu at 1:5, Zheng Cun at 1:6, Xue Qiang at 1:7, and Zhu Wei at 1:10. The Law Enforcement Department favored Xu Qong to take fifth place.

Therefore, looking overall, the Law Enforcement Department’s favored top five corresponded exactly to the first five ranked in the Renshen Manual.

Having looked through it all, Su Chen touched his nose, feeling interested!!!

He wanted to place a bet.

But, he didn’t have many Mysterious Stones on hand!

Previously, Mo Qingwu had given him a hundred Crimson Xuan Stones, which was a substantial amount, but after using some, only a little more than eighty were left.

Another thing, he wanted to bet on himself to come first, but in the betting pool for first place, his name wasn’t even listed.

"Su Chen?" At the same moment, suddenly, a voice emanated from inside the pavilion.

The person who spoke was Pang Yu.

Pang Yu was slightly tilting his head, his face filled with amusement and a cold sneer, staring at Su Chen, "You want to place a bet too?"

As Pang Yu spoke.

In an instant, everyone surrounding the pavilion lit up with excitement and turned to look at Su Chen!

Su Chen was a person of interest!

This month, the various rumors about Su Chen had already reached a boiling point.

But as Su Chen had been cultivating and hadn’t left the Tianyue Inn all month, many were curious about what Su Chen really looked like. Did he have three heads and six arms, or what...

At this moment, hearing the name Su Chen, how could they not be excited and shocked?

Su Chen did not utter a sound; he merely met Pang Yu’s gaze, but in his heart, there was murderous intent!!! Intense murderous intent, to the ten-thousandth degree!

If it hadn’t been for Miss Yan speaking up and saving him that day, he might have been captured by Pang Yu and his subordinates and taken to the Law Enforcement Department’s Blood Cavern, facing a fate worse than death.

His hatred for Pang Yu was irreconcilable.

Su Chen wished he could tear Pang Yu into thousands of pieces right then and there.

But, obviously, he couldn’t do that, not now. To do so would be to provoke the Law Enforcement Department, and he would die a terrible death.

He could only wait until after the Divine Human assessment. As long as he secured first place and achieved a terrifying result, then, by that time, not to mention provoking the Law Enforcement Department, even slaughtering the Law Enforcement Department wouldn’t matter.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chen suppressed those murderous intentions and said, "I indeed want to place a bet, but the bet I want to place isn’t available..."

"Oh?" Pang Yu’s smile grew richer, his cold face amused, "What bet do you want to place?"

"My bet on Su Chen coming first!" Su Chen declared solemnly.

As he spoke.

Suddenly.

The surrounding area fell silent, and then...

"Hahahahaha..."

All were bursts of laughter!!!

Everyone looking at Su Chen seemed to see him as a fool, their mocking demeanor unmasked.

First place? Even Mo Qingwu barely stood a chance, let alone Su Chen... This joke wasn’t funny at all.

So what if Su Chen killed Zhong Fa in an instant? Does an ant, just because it accidentally kills a fly, have the strength to challenge a fierce tiger?

Compared to Li Tu, any participant in this assessment was undeniably trash.

"Hehe..." Pang Yu also shook his head and laughed, somewhat disdainfully, "Are you serious?"

"Serious!" Su Chen nodded.

"How many Mysterious Stones can you bet? If you can bet a lot, I could specially modify the first place bet for you and add your name to it!"

Modifying it was no big deal; it was just a matter of getting Su Chen’s Mysterious Stones, right? Pang Yu wasn’t in a hurry to kill Su Chen, rather he wanted to watch Su Chen be driven to his demise step by step.

Placing a bet was just an opportunity.
