Yue Zhongtian was taken aback, and his expression warped.
At this time, a group of nearby practitioners also vaguely guessed Yue Zhongtian’s plan, and they all showed a different color.
Only now did they realize that the arrogance Yue Zhongtian had just shown was merely an act, and the real purpose was to make this bet!
But what they never expected was that Lin Xun had agreed to such an obvious ploy!
Was Lin Xun really confident enough to eliminate Yue Zhongtian from the platform in one blow?
Some practitioners who knew Yue Zhongtian’s skill couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. Lin Xun might have absolute confidence in his fighting ability. Still, if he regarded Yue Zhongtian as easy prey, he would be terribly wrong.
Others might not know, but Yue Zhongtian had practiced a secret method named Cloud & Light Steps. Once it was put into practice, the cultivator would move sophisticatedly like clouds and shadows, flickering with light. It was extremely magical.
Especially in evading attacks, it could play an incredible role.
Under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible for Lin Xun to drive Yue Zhongtian away from the platform in one move!
Lin Xun would fail this bet!
This was the thought of many people.
Others scolded Yue Zhongtian for his shamelessness. They never thought that such an arrogant fellow would have such a sinister mind.
And people like Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, and Yuan Shu were wondering whether Lin Xun could endeavor to repel Yue Zhongtian, who was proficient in the Cloud & Light Steps. The hope was slim.
Of course, they did not think that in the second round of assessment, Yue Zhongtian could be Lin Xun’s opponent, but at least in the bet, Lin Xun had almost no chance of winning.
…
Over time, the battles in the field remained brilliant and fierce, keeping the emotions of the audience thoroughly boiling.
Off the court, Lin Xun and Yue Zhongtian’s gamble immediately raised a lot of uproars.
“This bet is obviously a trap; how could Lin Xun agree with it. I really don’t know whether he is a foolish or a daring practitioner.”
Some people were perplexed.
“It’s ridiculous to think he can knock out Yue Zhongtian in one blow! Lin Xun is obviously looking for trouble!”
Somebody sneered.
“Lin Xun really likes to be in the limelight, doesn’t he? In the first round of assessment, he caused a ruckus by his cooperation with Golden Hall. Now, he makes a new bet! Would he die without being in the spotlight?”
Still, others disdained it.
In short, when the stakes for the bet were known, few people believed that Lin Xun could pull this off.
Even Liu Wujun, the governor sitting on the White Jade platform, was silent for a while when he got wind of it. What was Lin Xun thinking?
Wel Lingzhen, Du Dongtuo, and other big shots also looked at each other. It was their first time to hear such an outrageous bet. On the contrary, Lin Xun even agreed to it.
At this time, Lin Xun seemed very relaxed, looking at the battle in the field as if he had not been affected by what had just happened.
When complying with Yue Zhongtian, Lin Xun already knew that since the opponent put forward such an absurd condition, he must have some confidence that he could survive his blow and win this gamble.
Otherwise, Yue Zhongtian would certainly not do so.
However, Lin Xun was not worried about this. Since he dared to promise, he also had his own way to win this bet!
…
When the fourth batch of practitioners began to enter the arena, all eyes were in the same direction, No. 49 Platform!
Lin Xun and Yue Zhongtian were going to fight against each other there.
Everyone wanted to see if Lin Xun could finally make it. After all, the bet was ridiculous. Everyone wondered where Lin Xun’s confidence came from and how he dared to bear it.
On the stage, Yue Zhongtian’s face was decorated with a slight smile, appearing unruffled. He was so sure to win this bet!
Was Lin Xun kidding? Couldn’t he bear Lin Xun’s one trick?
Of course, Yue Zhongtian did not dare to be careless when facing Lin Xun. He had made this gamble because he knew that he was not Lin Xun’s opponent after a careful analysis. He did such profound calculations just to save some reputation.
Now that Lin Xun had accepted it, Yue Zhongtian would not miss this opportunity. He was even ready to go all out.
“Lin Xun, if you want to back off now, it won’t be too late.”
Yue Zhongtian said casually.
“I should have asked you this.”
Lin Xun smiled, “Have you ever thought that in case you lose, you’ll not only lose a bet. It will also make you lose your face and make you a joke in this test.”
Yue Zhongtian’s face changed slightly. He knew that this was a possibility, but he thought that it was impossible for it to happen at all.
“Well, let me see how you can knock me out of the platform in one move!”
Yue Zhongtian gritted his teeth, and a fierce color flashed on his face.
He took a deep breath and propelled his whole body to the extreme. In an instant, he was like another person, covered with dazzling golden rays. An invisible power swept around him, making the air moan under pressure.
The eyes of a lot of people in the audience brightened at the spectacle. Yue Zhongtian might not be as famous as Lin Xun, but he was undoubtedly among the finest in Mist College. If he went all out, how could Lin Xun eliminate him in one blow even if he was strong enough?
However, Lin Xun stood still with bare hands and did not show any emotional reactions. He was surrounded by a wisp of dreamy, green, and delicate spirit, which made him quite aloof.
His whole person was like a stone pillar, whose depth couldn’t be known before his move.
Clang!
The bell of the battle rang, refreshing everyone in the whole place. It was time to start!
Even on the White Jade platform, the eyes of a large number of dignitaries unconsciously locked on the 49th platform. This bet would be judged in a flicking one move! No one wanted to miss such a wonderful moment.
Whoosh!
Before the bell of the battle ended, Yue Zhongtian, who had been waiting for a long time, sent out a long whistle and rose into the air.
Whiz!
In an instant, his figure was moving in the void, leaving a series of remnants. Each remnant was almost the same as the real person, and it was hard to tell the actual one because the speed was too fast!
Looking from afar, it was like dozens of Yue Zhongtian were joining hands to move around on the platform as clouds and mists, glittering as lights and shadows. The scene was mysterious and shocking.
What secret method was this?
There was a sudden sensation in the audience, and many people were amazed. It never occurred to them that Yue Zhongtian had mastered such an incredible secret method!
This was why he dared to make this one-blow bet! He had been prepared for it. It was hard to find the real Yue Zhongtian under such circumstances, let alone beat him out of the platform within one move.
“That’s it! Cloud & Light Steps!”
There were also those who knew the details of Yue Zhongtian. When they saw this scene, they all showed a look of surety. They wondered what Lin Xun would do when faced with such footwork.
“Aha, Lin Xun, come here and put me down. Are you beginning to regret now?”
On the platform, Yue Zhongtian laughed loudly, his voice full of satire. He wandered on the stage and wanted to irritate Lin Xun and make him lose his judgment.
Strangely, Yue Zhongtian’s eyes were closed at the moment, but his shadow was ghostly like streaming light and clouds. When he shuttled on the platform, he left a trail of afterimages and never showed any flaws at all.
It was clear to all that this mystery was characterized by deceiving the eyes with the spiritual perception power of the practitioner. The place where the perception covered was the place where the figure moved, which was elusive.
At this time, Lin Xun stood still, but his lips turned into a cold smile.
Suddenly, he started moving. He was standing still but raised his hands in a strange manner.
At the same time, the Windstorm Millstone, which had been brewing in his body for a long time and boiled to the extreme. The immense spiritual power poured into his arms and gathered on his palms along a unique cultivation pathway.
At this moment, his two palms turned into two balls of blazing hot sun, dazzling and gorgeous, illuminating the entire site!
This was?
What was this power? The whole arena fell into silence, with a palpitation in the hearts of many people as they widened their eyes.
Even renowned people like Liu Wujun, Wei Lingzhen, and Du Dongtuo were caught unawares, and their expressions changed slightly. With their experiences, it was natural to discern that Lin Xun seemed to be carrying out some exceedingly terrible secret method!
Boom!
Lin Xun clenched his hand into a punch and hurled it forward like pushing mountains, showing an irresistible momentum in an instant.
It could be seen that the air on the platform was crushed and burst out loud noise that stung the spectators’ eardrums.
What horrific move! The void was crumbling!
Yue Zhongtian, who was laughing proudly, abruptly stopped as he felt an extremely dangerous aura. Without any hesitation, he ran his Cloud & Light Steps to its extreme.
But at this time, he was shocked to discover that every inch of void on the platform was constantly pressurizing and oppressing him like stormy waves, making him roll back and forth like a boat in the violent sea. His spirit and blood were stirring, and he was about to cough blood!
What was this secret method!?
Yue Zhongtian’s scalp was numb. He frequently flickered with anger, but he found that Lin Xun’s terrible power had covered the whole platform and crushed him hard wherever he dodged.

Boom!
Yue Zhongtian staggered, and he was almost bombed out of the platform. Many people’s heart beat violently as they breathed in the cool air.
Yue Zhongtian steadied his figure, gritted his teeth, and roared. He readied himself to face the punch, which was like a crashing mountain.
He had realized that evasion was useless. Only by confronting head-on might he have the off-chance of not being defeated!
