Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: Ten Postnatal Spiritual Treasures
Che Gu and the others all looked angrily at the people from the Fifth Divine Realm.
"Brother Che, this time, let’s just admit defeat! Although the people from other God Realms are here too, the Fifth Divine Realm is challenging the newcomer Brother Jing Yan, so even if we admit defeat, no one will ridicule us," Helian Ziyu said to Che Gu through a sound transmission.
"Yes, although Brother Jing Yan’s strength is also very strong, he has just entered the Land of Descent and hasn’t had time to comprehend the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body. That Gou Qu is the last martial artist to arrive here from the Fifth Divine Realm, but his strength is not at the bottom among them. Brother Jing Yan may find it very difficult to withstand even three moves," Che Gu replied in a sound transmission.
Che Gu and the others all knew that Jing Yan had survived being hunted by five Red Flame Spirits in the Red Flame Land, which showed his strength was already much stronger than most of them when they first entered the Land of Descent.
But after comprehending the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body, their individual combat power improved many-fold.
Without comprehending the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body, Jing Yan is absolutely no match for the martial artists who have done so.
Afterward, Che Gu secretly exchanged words with others from the Seventh Divine Domain, and they all agreed that they could temporarily admit defeat.
"Brother Jing Yan, you don’t need to take this too much to heart. You’ve just entered the Land of Descent and haven’t comprehended the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body yet. Admitting defeat to those who have isn’t a shame," Che Gu said to Jing Yan, turning his eyes toward him.
He also feared that Jing Yan might act recklessly from pride, so his words were meant to guide.
"Indeed, Brother Jing Yan, once you comprehend the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body, the situation will be entirely different. Then, we can turn the tables and challenge these people from the Fifth Divine Realm," Weng Quan said, looking at Jing Yan.
"Tsk, tsk..."
"I never thought the people from the Seventh Divine Domain would be so gutless! Admitting defeat before even fighting?"
"Haha, then you can bow and admit defeat!" Gai Bin and others sneered.
Before coming to the Seventh Divine Domain Great Hall, they had anticipated this scenario and didn’t expect the Seventh Divine Dominion’s martial artists to accept the challenge.
To be honest, if the positions were switched, they might also refuse such a challenge.
"I accept this battle!"
At that moment, Jing Yan suddenly spoke up.
Jing Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Gai Bin and the others on the opposite side, and he said in a firm and unyielding voice.
"What?"
"Jing Yan, don’t act on impulse. Although a duel generally isn’t life-threatening, there is a wager involved!"
"That’s right, the people from the Fifth Divine Realm are challenging you shamelessly for the wager. You just entered the Land of Descent, so they know you must have many consumables. That’s why they’re eager to challenge you."
"Brother Jing Yan, don’t fall for it! Let’s admit defeat this time, and once you comprehend the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body, we’ll take back our position!" Che Gu and the others urged when they heard Jing Yan accept the challenge.
But the martial artists from the Fifth Divine Realm, including Gai Bin, were all excited, their eyes gleaming as they looked at Jing Yan. They had thought they would leave empty-handed again, but surprisingly, this newcomer named Jing Yan was still young and impulsive enough to take on the challenge after a mere provocation.
"Fellow brothers, I understand your intentions. However, I intend to accept this challenge. That martial artist from the Fifth Divine Realm, Gou Qu, will find it hard to defeat me and win the wager. It remains to be seen who will win and who will lose," Jing Yan said with a smile to Che Gu and the others.
"Haha! Jing Yan, you’re quite the man. You’re impressive!" Gai Bin laughed heartily.
"No need for more chatter; I’ve taken on this challenge. Now, let’s discuss the wager," Jing Yan said with a wave of his hand.
"We will wager five Acquired Spiritual Treasures against your five jars of Green Bamboo Wine. How about it?" Gai Bin said with a glint in his eyes.
Before coming, they from the Fifth Divine Realm had already discussed the wager.
Five Acquired Spiritual Treasures for five jars of Green Bamboo Wine was just a tentative proposal. If Jing Yan found the wager too high, it could still be negotiated.
"Gai Bin, have some shame. Wagering all five jars of Green Bamboo Wine at once? That’s brazen of you. Brother Jing Yan, don’t fall for it. You’ve just entered the Land of Descent, and there are plenty of battles ahead. There’s no need to risk such a large wager the first time. I think one Acquired Spiritual Treasure versus one jar of Green Bamboo Wine is enough," Che Gu immediately said, first scolding Gai Bin for being shameless, then persuading Jing Yan.
"One Acquired Spiritual Treasure for one jar of Green Bamboo Wine? That’s a tiny wager. Jing Yan, you probably have many jars of Green Bamboo Wine with you, right? Are you hesitant to part with even five jars?" Gai Bin immediately retorted.
In reality, even if the wager was just one jar of Green Bamboo Wine, they from the Fifth Divine Realm would be content. They were just trying to enhance the wager, like negotiating a deal—ask for the sky to land on the ground.
Jing Yan also shook his head slightly.
Jing Yan looked at the people from the Fifth Divine Realm and said with a smile, "This wager is somewhat inappropriate."
Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Gai Bin and the others sighed, inevitably feeling a bit disappointed.
"Jing Yan, what do you think the wager should be?" Gai Bin asked, looking at Jing Yan again.
"I’m betting with five jars of Green Bamboo Wine, but your Fifth Divine Realm needs to wager ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures," Jing Yan said, his smile unchanging.
"What?"
"Five jars of Green Bamboo Wine against ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures?"
"Jing Yan, your proposal is outrageous. Five jars of Green Bamboo Wine for five Acquired Spiritual Treasures is relatively fair, yet you demand ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures?" Gai Bin and others shook their heads.
"You’re the ones wanting to challenge me! It’s only right you offer more in the wager. Otherwise, wait until I comprehend the Heavenly Venerate Dharma Body to challenge me again. Then, I’d agree to five jars of Green Bamboo Wine against five Acquired Spiritual Treasures." Jing Yan shook his head again.
Gai Bin and the others exchanged glances, holding a silent sound transmission discussion.
In the end, they believed they could agree. After all, they couldn’t lose the battle, so offering five or ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures didn’t make much difference.
"Alright!"
"Jing Yan, we’ll wager ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures with you," Gai Bin said, looking at Jing Yan.
Not far away, many martial artists from other God Realms shook their heads lightly.
They didn’t deem the wager unfair, but those five jars of Green Bamboo Wine were quite enticing.
It seems this time, Gai Bin and others from the Fifth Divine Realm would make a significant gain—five whole jars of Green Bamboo Wine!
