Ji Song’s words seed well-aning, but for so reason, they left Ye Haochuan feeling uncomfortable, likely due to his inherent dislike for Ji Song.
"It’s just a Cultivation Technique, how difficult could it be? Do you think Blackie has never been under the sun?" Ye Haochuan retorted with a smirk.
Ji Song was unperturbed and smiled, "I don’t know if Blackie’s been in the sun, but I do know this Cultivation Technique has been exchanged by several people, all of whom returned it, begging to swap it for a Treasure-Level Late Stage Cultivation Technique."
"Among them was... the once number one genius, Ye Xiao!"
ntioning the number one genius, Ji Song glanced at Ye Haochuan with a slightly complex expression.
Who would have thought that just over a month ago, Ye Haochuan, still at the Core Formation Mid-Stage, could defeat Ye Xiao of the Nascent Soul Stage a month later?
"Ye Xiao is Ye Xiao, and I am . If he could compare to , why would he have lost so miserably at my hands?" Ye Haochuan said arrogantly, "You look down on so much—do you dare to make a bet with ?"
"What kind of bet?" Ji Song asked, looking at Ye Haochuan with interest.
"I bet I can learn this Cultivation Technique within an hour. If I can’t, I lose!"
"Are you crazy? This is a Treasure-Level Peak Cultivation Technique, not so Talisman or Law-Level!" Fan Qingyin opposed, even before Ji Song could respond.
For such a level of Cultivation Technique, even mastering it within a month would be considered a rare talent.
And as Ji Song ntioned, even Ye Xiao couldn’t unravel its mysteries and had to return it. Ye Haochuan’s talent might be greater than Ye Xiao’s, but not by that much.
Thinking of this, Fan Qingyin was even more determined to stop Ye Haochuan, her voice firm, "No, I don’t agree! I can’t let you do sothing foolish!"
"Can’t you have a bit of confidence in ?" Ye Haochuan replied with a smirk.
"Confidence is one thing, but this Cultivation Technique..."
Fan Qingyin tried to persuade him further, but Ye Haochuan interrupted, "This isn’t the first ti you’ve seen , have you ever seen do sothing I’m not sure of?"
"Well..." Fan Qingyin hesitated, indeed, having known Ye Haochuan for so long, she’d only seen him outsmart others, never the other way around.
Seeing the confidence on Ye Haochuan’s face, Fan Qingyin finally suppressed her worry and said nothing more.
"You are quite confident!" Ji Song laughed loudly, "It’s been a long ti since I’ve gambled, so I’ll play with you, kid."
"Since we’re betting, there has to be a stake. If I lose, I won’t want this Cultivation Technique. But if you lose, you’ll have to give another Treasure-Level Peak Cultivation Technique, how about that?" Ye Haochuan chuckled.
The thought of possibly exchanging one Treasure-Level Peak Cultivation Technique for two made Ye Haochuan’s heart race excitedly.
Hearing this, Ji Song furrowed his brow slightly, then suddenly, as if he thought of sothing, smiled and said, "I don’t have a spare Treasure-Level Peak Cultivation Technique to gamble with you, but I do have a Treasure-Level Late Stage one."
"Exchanging a Treasure-Level Peak for a Treasure-Level Late Stage? That’s quite a loss for ," Ye Haochuan said, his lips curled.
Ji Song smiled, "A Treasure-Level Late Stage Cultivation Technique, plus a Treasure-Level Late Stage Magical Treasure. Any more, and I can’t afford to bet."
Damn, this old fox is clearly trying to take advantage of !
Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly, but still, having two Treasure-Level Late Stage items was better than nothing, so he agreed.
"Once you’re ready, I’ll start the tir?" Ji Song broke the seal on the Secret Manual and handed it back to Ye Haochuan.
Without wasting ti, Ye Haochuan picked up the Secret Manual and began to skim through it quickly.
The book was not thin, and Ye Haochuan took nearly half an hour to hastily finish it.
Seeing this, Fan Qingyin was filled with a sense of worry again. But now, it was too late to voice her opposition—giving up now ant admitting defeat, and the hard-won reward would slip away.
The only thing she could do now was silently cheer for Ye Haochuan in her heart.
At this mont, Ji Song’s eyes were full of amusent, yet for so reason, there was also a hint of expectation, as if hoping for Ye Haochuan to win.
Ye Haochuan, however, was totally focused on his own world, oblivious to the expressions of others.
After skimming through the book in half an hour, Ye Haochuan returned to an earlier section to ponder over so obscure parts, taking another fifteen minutes.
After reading it a second ti, Ye Haochuan suddenly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, motionless, as if asleep.
As the agreed ti approached, with Ye Haochuan yet to make a single attempt, Fan Qingyin felt despair seeping into her heart.
This foolish child, with no ability but insisting on showing off, truly dumb to the core!
Fan Qingyin cursed inwardly.
At this mont, she felt as though her heart was bleeding. Ye Haochuan had braved nurous risks to acquire this Treasure-Level Peak Cultivation Technique.
Fan Qingyin hadn’t experienced the White Court Origin Realm, so she felt less connected. But during the squad battle, Ye Haochuan was virtually nine lives lost, almost blown to bits.
Going through so much for this treasure, losing it this way made her feel nothing but regret.
Tick-tock, tick-tock~
Though there was no clock present, Fan Qingyin felt the passage of ti.
"Ti’s up, it seems you’ve lost!" Ji Song broke the silence.
Ye Haochuan suddenly opened his eyes, as if waking from sleep, and smiled, "How have I lost? Clearly, it’s you who’s lost!"
"Don’t bluff. You haven’t even tried once, how could you have mastered it?"
"No need for trial when it’s unnecessary."
Ye Haochuan smiled calmly, raising his right hand abruptly, causing Spiritual Energy to surge rapidly throughout the grand hall.
Ji Song frowned and hastily erected a large Protective Shield, enclosing Ye Haochuan alone.
Though the Treasure Vault was strong, Ye Haochuan’s full effort could still cause damage.
"Nine Heavens Sunset!"
Ye Haochuan called out, clenching his right fist and pulling down sharply.
As soon as his words fell, nine Fla Balls appeared suddenly in the void, plumting down with his hand motion, burning increasingly fiercely as they descended, their forms transforming visibly.
Before long, the nine Fla Balls turned into nine fiery red swords, "ding ding" they struck into the ground.
"Damn, only managed to pierce a sword tip? That’s weak!" Ye Haochuan grumbled, feeling like his precious heart was deceived.
