Chapter 1499: Chapter 1484: Yun Ben’s Divine Skills
“You do have so skills, but your cultivation… is a fatal flaw!” Yun Ben looked Ye Zhen up and down with a sowhat surprised gaze, slowly retracting the tail whip behind him.
Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow, “If you’re scared and want to concede, then get off the stage. I, Di Kuohai, still need to defend the arena!”
Yun Ben was taken aback, then burst into laughter, “I’ve seen arrogant people, but never soone as arrogant as you, especially when your cultivation is only at the Second Stage of Divine Communication Realm.
Fine, let’s just say I’m playing with you!”
After speaking, Yun Ben suddenly leaped back and beckoned Ye Zhen with a hand.
As Ye Zhen leaped onto the Five Immortals Arena, the black-robed steward in the sky spoke, “Di Kuohai is about to challenge Yun Ben. Yun Ben, as the continuous winner, you have 15 minutes of recovery ti. Do you need it?”
“Haha, to deal with a re Second Stage of Divine Communication Realm kid, why would I need recovery? We can start right now!” Yun Ben laughed loudly.
“Ladies and gentlen, there’s half a quarter-hour left to place your bets before the battle begins. Please hurry up! Also, according to the betting regulations of our Five Immortals Arena, since there’s a significant cultivation gap between the challenger and the defender, the odds for both sides are locked around a half percent. Please hurry to place your bets!” the black-robed steward said.
These regulations, Ye Zhen had seen behind the stele before, the purpose is obvious, to prevent soone from engaging in rigged matches.
In all heavens and worlds, who acts most unscrupulously?
Not the irredeemable villains, nor the enslaved demon clan, but… businessn!
Businessn act only for profit, and for profit and excess profit, there’s nothing they won’t do.
In the past, allegedly tens of thousands of years ago, soone sched against the massive flows of bets on the Five Immortals Arena daily by hiring a martial artist for rigged matches.
First, find a powerful martial artist who wins several matches in a row, and then send a martial artist with obviously average cultivation to challenge, naturally creating a large odds gap between them.
At this point, soone places a huge bet on the challenger, previously agreed upon, the previous arena master plays along and loses, even if Five Immortals Island found sothing fishy, for the sake of reputation, they have to accept it with a pinch of salt.
Moreover, so martial artists even bet massive sums on themselves, then lose to gain stunning profits.
After being duped several tis, the Five Immortals Arena established nurous regulations for betting, such as capping the maximum bet at ten thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones, regardless of who it is.
Though the nurous rules of Five Immortals Arena are very domineering and unruly purely in gambling terms, the reputation of Five Immortals Arena is there, and bettors flock like carps crossing the river.
Even though Five Immortals Island has locked the odds for this challenge around a half percent, still countless people swarm to place bets.
For nothing else, who wouldn’t want to seize such an opportunity akin to picking up money?
Even if the cap is ten thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones, only offering a half percent return, that’s still five hundred High Grade Spiritual Stones, enough for many martial artists below the Realm King Realm to cultivate for a while.
However, nearly everyone is betting on Yun Ben!
As for betting on Ye Zhen, currently, no one.
The reason is simple, Yun Ben’s combat power was proven right before everyone’s eyes, while Ye Zhen’s cultivation is just too low.
Anyway, the odds difference between both sides isn’t too much, Yun Ben’s half percent, Ye Zhen’s one percent, basically, no one would take the risk to bet on Ye Zhen winning.
“Big Ears, you and I each place ten thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones!” Ye Zhen used Divine Soul Telecommunication.
Big Ears Nie Ting’s mouth quivered, “Sir… I… I don’t have that many spiritual stones.”
“You brat, just use the public spiritual stones I gave you to bet, if you win it’s yours, if you lose it’s mine!” Ye Zhen laughed and cursed.
If he didn’t even have this bit of confidence, then why would Ye Zhen be in this arena?
Outside, there were voices placing bets everywhere. The previously extrely confident Yun Ben had already sat silently crossed-legged on the ground, each hand holding a High Grade Spiritual Stone, taking advantage of this precious half a quarter-hour to recover the spiritual power previously consud.
This made Ye Zhen’s expression change, forming a judgnt—this Yun Ben is a very cautious adversary.
Though he generously refused the 15-minute recovery ti for consecutive wins earlier, now he’s using every bit of this half a quarter-hour to recover spiritual power.
Refusing earlier was strategy, that was showing off, using ti now is cautiousness.
This proves the opponent in front of Ye Zhen is absolutely not easy to deal with.
Around the Five Immortals Arena, besides the rather official betting stalls opened by Five Immortals Island itself, there are also so private betting stalls.
The odds at these betting stalls are very high, very suitable for those martial artists looking for excitent, and there’s no cap on the bet amount, as long as you’re willing to bet, they’re willing to take them.
As for really being able to collect after bankrupting them, that’s another matter.
“Yun Ben to defeat the challenger within ten breaths, two percent odds, those interested place your bets quickly, first co first served!”
“Yun Ben to defeat the challenger within fifty breaths, one and a half percent odds, those interested place bets quickly!”
“Yun Ben to defeat the challenger within a hundred breaths, five percent odds, those interested place bets quickly!”
Soon, the bookmakers outside the arena began shouting enticing odds, but the odds for Ye Zhen were rather grim, all about how long he could hold out.
“Di Kuohai holds out for over a hundred breaths, six tis odds, six tis odds, hurry to place your bets!”
“Di Kuohai holds out for over ten breaths, one and a half tis odds……”
…..
Amidst the betting voices, Ye Zhen slowly closed his eyes, everything outside the field was irrelevant to him now. All that remained in his eyes was the battle before him. He intended to focus his entire spirit on the Martial Arts, with only two words left in his Spirit Palace — battle!
Divine Sense like water, Divine Sense like thunder. In an instant, all the battles Ye Zhen had experienced over the years flashed in his Spirit Palace, as if glimpsed in passing.
Various battle techniques and battle skills he had once used, so even used just once, all surfaced in his mind.
“Ti’s up, battle….. begins!”
With the ‘begin’ word from the black-robed steward, both participants who had their eyes tightly closed opened them simultaneously.
A flash of brilliance in their eyes, Yun Ben suddenly leapt like a leopard, his hands making a motion of grasping, causing a green-gold giant sword to appear in them.
As soon as the green-gold giant sword appeared, it transford into a sword over a thousand ters long, slashing down towards Ye Zhen with an unfathomably mysterious trajectory.
Within a thousand-ter radius, everything was covered by the sword light. No matter which direction Ye Zhen attempted to dodge, he would be caught by the sword light. Without instant teleportation over a thousand ters away, Ye Zhen could only take it head-on.
To be honest, Ye Zhen hadn’t yet cultivated the divine ability of instant teleportation. Even if he had, performing it a few tis would likely deplete his Spiritual Power given his level of cultivation.
So, it seed he could only take it head-on.
Moreover, Yun Ben’s sword light had faint sounds of wind and thunder, moving at a speed incredibly fast, almost as fast as a Thunderbolt.
However, Ye Zhen’s actions were beyond everyone’s expectations.
Almost at the first mont Yun Ben drew his sword, the Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Vine erged from behind Ye Zhen’s head.
The mont the Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Vine appeared, many Martial Artists who had bet that Ye Zhen wouldn’t last ten breaths began wailing loudly, as having the protection of an Acquired Spirit Treasure, lasting ten breaths was definitely no problem.
A thunderclap and the wind-and-thunder sound within Yun Ben’s sword light rang simultaneously.
Almost at the instant the green-gold giant sword slashed down, Ye Zhen’s Evil Punishing Divine Thunder crashed towards Yun Ben’s forehead.
Yun Ben’s eyes bulged suddenly, giving a strange cry. At the mont the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder struck his forehead, the space around him rippled fiercely and he vanished into thin air.
Ye Zhen’s Evil Punishing Divine Thunder struck empty air.
This surprised Ye Zhen since it was the first ti soone had managed to dodge his Evil Punishing Divine Thunder since he started using it.
If Ye Zhen was not mistaken, Yun Ben used what should be a spatial divine ability like Void Great Movent.
This Yun Ben knowing such a spatial divine ability made his combat power definitely not simple.
With a clang, the blue gold giant sword Yun Ben had to abandon for instant teleportation fell to the ground, but the vanished Yun Ben had not reappeared, causing Ye Zhen’s scalp to tingle instantly.
Although he had forced Yun Ben to give up this Low Grade Soul Artifact level longsword out of necessity, right after the teleportation was Ye Zhen’s most dangerous mont!
Because he didn’t know where Yun Ben would appear the next mont.
Perhaps from Ye Zhen’s back, perhaps from his side, or even from above his head.
But it could be foreseen that once Yun Ben erged from one of these directions, Ye Zhen would undoubtedly be killed by Yun Ben in one strike.
Years of battle instinct, or rather combat experience, gave Ye Zhen an instant counter-strategy.
His figure swayed and six illusion clones erged from behind Ye Zhen, shaking together, even the black-robed steward watching was stunned, unable to distinguish which was an Illusory Body and which was the True Body!
At the sa mont, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense urged, and the long-unused Sword Heart Enlightennt spread out like water.
Although Sword Heart Enlightennt was the earliest divine power secret technique Ye Zhen had learned, its auxiliary nature made it the most enduring. Even now, it still had its uses.
With the powerful Divine Soul Power of Ye Zhen, under Sword Heart Enlightennt, even the slightest change of a dust particle in all directions would reflect within Ye Zhen’s Sword Heart Enlightennt.
A slight sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth. Once his Sword Heart Enlightennt spread out, if the Yun Ben hiding in the void couldn’t find Ye Zhen’s True Body due to the Illusion Clone, any slightest hesitation would allow Ye Zhen to pinpoint his location.
At that ti, under one Evil Punishing Divine Thunder, Yun Ben would likely be kneeling.
But just as this thought surfaced in Ye Zhen’s mind, before Sword Heart Enlightennt could completely cover all directions, Yun Ben’s figure suddenly shot out from the void behind Ye Zhen.
At the sa mont, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out in Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace, giving Ye Zhen a fright!
