“Vice Hall Master Wu!” Yang Kai cupped his fists towards Wu Zhengqi.
Wu Zhengqi nodded slightly.
Wei Cheng also walked over and stood to the left of Wu Zhengqi, the two Blood Servants following behind him.
Wu Zhengqi raised his brow, “Since the two of you are willing to take this opportunity to invite this Wu to be the witness of this battle, this Wu is extremely honored and also hopes that the two Alchemists can act in harmony and not hurt the feelings of fellow disciples.”
Saying so, he looked at Wei Cheng and then at Yang Kai before continuing, “If the two of you don’t have any objections, then today’s battle will begin. As usual, there will be a total of three fights, and whoever win two round first will win. In addition, you are not allowed to use any weapons on the Battle Method Stage, is that alright?”
Wei Cheng and Yang Kai both agreed.
“Good, then I hope the two of you can discuss the specifics of the battle. This Wu will not participate in it. Today, I have come here as a witness!” Saying so, Wu Zhengqi walked to the side and quietly watched.
On the Battle Method Stage, Wei Cheng looked at Yang Huai, who was standing behind Yang Kai like a tall iron tower, and frowned, “Pill Master Yang, you only brought one guard? How are we supposed to compete?”
Yang Kai smiled, “Can’t I? The rule is that the first to win two round is the winner. There’s no need to bring a few guards, right?”
Wei Cheng shook his head, “Be that as it may, Pill Master Yang is underestimating this Wei too much. The guard you brought out from Blood Servant Camp is only a Second Order Heaven Rank master, and the two closest to me are Sixth Order Heaven Rank masters. It’s impossible for him to be an opponent.”
“Whether it's an opponent or not, we’ll know after we fight.”
Wei Cheng stared deeply at Yang Kai, “Pill Master Yang, if you can apologize to this Wei, this Wei will pretend that nothing happened before so that Pill Master Yang won’t embarrass himself later.”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “Pill Master Wei, it’s good to be confident. But overconfidence is arrogance.”
Wei Cheng’s face sank as he coldly snorted, “I’m willing to settle this matter peacefully, but since Pill Master Yang is so shameless, don’t blame me, your Senior Brother, for bullying the weak. I’d like to see how the two of you can defeat the three of us. As usual, if we can’t determine the victor in the first two matches, you and I will be the last to fight.”
“Sure!” Yang Kai nodded, “But before that, shouldn’t we add some extra stakes? Otherwise, just sparring like this won’t be interesting.”
“Extra stakes?” Wei Cheng was stunned, “What kind of stakes do you want to add?”
Yang Kai turned to Wu Zhengqi and asked, “Vice Hall Master, is this not against the Sect’s rules?”
Wu Zhengqi said lightly, “You can discuss everything here on your own, as long as no one dies, it doesn’t matter.”
“I understand,” Yang Kai nodded, reaching out to take the sword from his waist and holding it in front of his eyes, “A Spirit Weapon, I wonder if this is enough!”
Wei Cheng’s eyes narrowed when he heard this, and even Wu Zhengqi showed a look of interest, causing the many Alchemists below the stage to burst into an uproar.
“Spirit Weapon, is this a Spirit Weapon?” Wei Cheng stared at Yang Kai in surprise.
Yang Kai casually tossed the Clear Void Sword to Wu Zhengqi and said, “Whether it is a Spirit Weapon or not, Vice Hall Master Wu will know after examining it.”
Wu Zhengqi reached out to take the Clear Void Sword and unsheathed it. After observing it for a while, a look of yearning appeared on his face. After a moment, he returned the sword to its sheath and nodded, “It is indeed a Spirit Weapon!”
Since Wu Zhengqi had said so, Wei Cheng naturally would not disbelieve it. He looked at Yang Kai suspiciously, wondering what he was up to.
Wu Zhengqi asked in confusion, “Pill Master Yang, are you sure you want to use this Spirit Weapon as the prize for this battle? This item is quite valuable.”
In the entire Divine Weapon World, without the top ten Divine Weapons, Spirit Weapons were the best weapons. Each Spirit Rank weapon had an extremely strong power, and with a Spirit Rank cultivator possessing a Spirit Weapon, it was completely different from not having one. Although Wu Zhengqi was also a Spirit Rank cultivator, he still didn’t have his own Spirit Weapon. Now that he saw a Heaven Pill Master like Yang Kai casually take out a Spirit Weapon and use it as a prize, he couldn’t help feeling like it was a waste.
If only this thing was his.
Yang Kai smiled, “Recently, I’ve been short on money, so I really don’t have anything to offer other than this.”
On the other side, Wei Cheng’s expression changed, “It seems Pill Master Yang is quite confident in himself.”
Even taking out his Spirit Weapon as a prize wasn’t because he was overconfident, but rather because he didn’t put Wei Cheng in his eyes at all, causing Wei Cheng to be somewhat annoyed.
“Although I also want to take this Spirit Weapon, it’s a pity that this Wei doesn’t have anything suitable as a prize,” Wei Cheng shook his head regretfully. It was such a pity to miss such a great opportunity in front of him.
“It’s fine, I don’t need anything too precious. A Red Jade is something Pill Master Wei should have, right?” Yang Kai asked with a smile.
“Red Jade?” Wei Cheng was stunned, “You want me to use Red Jade as a prize?”
He couldn’t believe his ears, and even Wu Zhengqi was shocked, silently cursing the prodigal son. How could a Spirit Weapon be measured by Red Jade?
“Like I said, I’ve been in a bit of a tight spot recently, Pill Master Wei should have some Red Jade!” Yang Kai nodded.
“Red Jade… I naturally have it.”
“How much can Pill Master Wei offer?” Yang Kai asked.
Wei Cheng said somewhat embarrassedly, “Two or three hundred thousand? Maybe three hundred thousand, no more than that.” As a Heaven Pill Master, it was normal for him to have a few million Red Jade in his possession. Wei Cheng originally had a few million Red Jade, but for the sake of the Holy Fire Cave’s Heaven Fire, he had spent a great deal of money to buy some things, but in the end, he only had this little left.
However, not to mention two or three hundred thousand, even if there were millions of Red Jade, it would still be impossible to measure the value of a Spirit Weapon. He obviously knew this, so when he said this, he was somewhat lacking in confidence.
“Then three hundred thousand it is,” Yang Kai nodded, “Pill Master Wei taking three hundred thousand Red Jade as a prize, is that alright?”
Wei Cheng looked at Yang Kai as if he was looking at a fool, “Are you sure this Wei can take three hundred thousand Red Jade as a prize?”
“Yes!” Yang Kai nodded.
On the side, Wu Zhengqi was hopping mad. If it weren’t for his identity as a witness restraining him, he really wanted to tell Yang Kai that if he needed money, he could borrow it from him. There was no need to use a Spirit Weapon to bet three hundred thousand Red Jade, this was simply a huge waste.
Wei Cheng stared deeply at Yang Kai, making sure he wasn’t joking, before nodding and saying, “Since that’s the case, then this Wei will take three hundred thousand Red Jade as the prize. I hope Vice Hall Master Wu can bear witness!”
Wu Zhengqi nodded weakly, “Yes!”
“Pill Master Yang, shall we begin now?” Thinking about how he would be able to obtain a Spirit Weapon later, Wei Cheng’s mood suddenly became wonderful as he secretly wondered if this was Yang Kai’s way of apologizing. Otherwise, how could he have done something so stupid?
A Spirit Weapon could also offset his losses in the Holy Fire Cave.
Thinking about it this way, he couldn’t help feeling a lot better. Although this new Junior Brother of his had a tough mouth, he was actually quite a tactful person. He was trying to apologize to him in a roundabout way!
Yang Kai nodded, “Good!” Turning to look at Yang Huai, he said, “Do your best!”
Yang Huai cupped his fists and said solemnly, “I will not let Sir be humiliated!”
Yang Kai nodded and jumped down from the Battle Method Stage, while Wei Cheng and a Blood Servant also jumped down, leaving the other Blood Servant standing opposite Yang Huai.
“If the two of you are ready, you can begin at any time!” Wu Zhengqi glanced at the two people on the stage and said lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Cheng’s Blood Servant transformed into a blur and rushed towards Yang Huai, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye. With a loud bang, the entire Battle Method Stage shook.
Yang Huai, who was like an iron tower, felt as if he had been struck by a giant mountain. His burly body staggered back several meters and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize himself at the last moment and reached out with his giant palm.
In front of him, a figure flashed past, brushing past his palm and arriving behind him. Another violent bang rang out.
“Pill Master Yang, this Blood Servant’s cultivation is too low, he’s not a match,” Wei Cheng said casually as he watched the fierce battle on the Battle Method Stage.
Yang Kai smiled faintly but didn’t comment.
Yang Huai was only a Second Order Heaven Rank master, while the guard Wei Cheng had left behind on the stage was a Sixth Order Heaven Rank master. There was a gap of four minor levels between them. On this small Battle Method Stage, without any external help, Yang Huai was indeed not his opponent.
In less than ten breaths of time, Yang Huai had been hit more than a dozen times, each time his body staggered and he nearly fell to the ground, but each time he managed to stabilize himself and counterattack in a hurry. Although he didn’t cause any damage to his opponent, each of his strikes was incredibly powerful, forcing his opponent to dodge.
With such a great disparity in strength, victory should have been decided in a short time, but in reality, Yang Huai’s perseverance had exceeded everyone’s expectations.
On the battle arena, Wei Cheng’s Blood Servant seemed to have the upper hand, but he was unable to completely defeat Yang Huai or knock him off the stage.
Moreover, as time passed, Yang Huai’s body began to emit a faint layer of bloody mist. At first, it wasn’t obvious, but the mist became thicker as the fight goes on.
“This is…” Wu Zhengqi, who had been watching from the Battle Method Stage all this time, suddenly raised his brow and showed an extremely surprised expression, because he discovered that Yang Huai’s speed and strength seemed to be gradually increasing.
Yang Huai’s physique was tall and sturdy, and his movements weren’t nimble. Moreover, his cultivation was four minor levels lower than his opponent’s, so from the beginning until now, he had been in a passive position. Occasionally, he would launch a counterattack, but it was to no avail. His opponent would nimbly avoid him, but as time passed, his speed became faster, and his strength also became stronger.
With a loud bang, the two figures separated. Yang Huai’s body was covered in blood and his eyes were wide open. Holding a torn piece of cloth in his hand, he casually threw it aside and rushed towards his opponent like a crazed beast, his eyes bloodshot.
The audience below the stage all cried out in surprise. This was the first time Yang Huai had achieved something in his counterattack, although he had only managed to grab a piece of his opponent’s clothing…
On the other side, the Sixth Order Heaven Rank cultivator looked down at his chest, where his clothes were tattered, revealing his flexible body. When he looked up, he saw Yang Huai rushing towards him, his face filled with anger as he quickly circulated his spiritual force to meet him.
Another fierce confrontation ensued.
