Xiao Ling went to the gambling club to collect her winnings: 1.22 billion Crystal Coins.
When she saw this specific number, she was overjoyed.
Yelu Caiyun, Gao Lou, and Chen Cangshan also collected their gambling winnings together with her.
Each of the three received over 20 million Crystal Coins, which was not a small gain.
Yelu Caiyun asked:
"Master Xiao, how much did you bet?"
"? Just a little."
"How much is a little?"
A staff mber of the gambling club interjected:
"Master Xiao Ling bet 700 million Crystal Coins on Yang Xiao winning and earned over 1.2 billion in one go."
Chen Cangshan and the others imdiately exclaid, surrounding Xiao Ling.
"Master Xiao, you're really brave!"
"How could you dare to bet so much?"
Yelu Caiyun laughed:
"Naturally, it must have been Yang Xiao who instructed Master Xiao, right?"
When Yang Xiao was injured by Qin Xiaotian on the playground, Xiao Ling and Yelu Caiyun both rushed over simultaneously. Everyone imdiately realized that their relationship with Yang Xiao was unusual; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so concerned.
Yelu Caiyun and Xiao Ling had long known about each other's special relationship with Yang Xiao. Today, both of them showing up directly confird everyone's guesses.
Xiao Ling slightly smiled and said:
"Indeed, Yang Xiao advised to bet. He said the more I bet, the more it would help with his luck, so I bet a bit more, hehe."
Xiao Ling usually displayed a rather aloof deanor in front of her students, but today, she appeared sowhat amiable, even adorable.
Yang Xiao defeated Qin Xiaotian, and she made 1.2 billion Crystal Coins along the way, naturally making her extrely happy.
...
Yang Xiao returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and changed his clothes.
The scar on his chest had healed, and his internal injuries were almost recovered.
Yang Xiao took another Big Blood Pill and then lay down to rest.
Right now, he didn't want to think about anything; what he needed was rest, to quickly restore his Qi and physical strength. He knew that killing Qin Xiaotian might have so aftermath, and he needed a strong body and abundant energy to cope.
Yang Xiao slept until after three in the afternoon before waking up, stretching his limbs and circulating so Genetic Evolution Energy within his body, feeling that everything had returned to normal levels.
Yang Xiao rembered Qin Xiaotian's Broken Rainbow Sword, so he took it out from his Space Ring and played around with it for a while. This Broken Rainbow Sword indeed had a strong Killing Aura, similar to the Bronze Divine Sword.
The Bronze Divine Sword was a Divine Weapon he had picked up from the Fourth Prince. Yang Xiao always felt uneasy about it, with a kind of psychological burden of "finding sothing and needing to turn it in."
More importantly, he was always afraid that the Fourth Prince would soday see the Bronze Divine Sword. If he asked for it back, should he return it or not?
He had been taught from a young age to be honest when finding things!
Now, this was resolved, as the Broken Rainbow Sword was his spoils from killing Qin Xiaotian, which he could take out and use openly without worrying about being discovered by the Fourth Prince.
Yang Xiao swung the Broken Rainbow Sword casually, and its sharp Killing Aura instantly shattered a table in the living room into pieces.
Yang Xiao sheathed the Broken Rainbow Sword, dressed in his clothes and armor, and walked out the door.
Yang Xiao discovered that today, as he walked on the road, he was t with countless gazes full of attention.
Yang Xiao went directly to the library and found Elder Ye in the courtyard at the back.
Elder Ye was lying on a deck chair, resting with his eyes closed.
Yang Xiao approached and stood a few ters in front of Elder Ye, bowing his head. He didn't know if Elder Ye was asleep or not, and didn't dare disturb him, so he just stood quietly.
After a while, Elder Ye slightly opened his eyes and smiled:
"Can't you say a word? Making this old man pretend to sleep for so long."
Yang Xiao: "...Elder Ye, I didn't dare to disturb your rest."
"Haha, you say you didn't dare to disturb, but your feet were quite honest. Otherwise, why would you end up in this little courtyard?"
Yang Xiao chuckled and said:
"I ca to apologize to you, senior."
Elder Ye was puzzled,
"Oh? Apologize?"
"Yes, you instructed to spare Qin Xiaotian's life. I indeed intended to spare him initially. When I first defeated him, I didn't plan to kill him; it was when he attacked sneakily that I got angry and ended up killing him.
Alas, I didn't fulfill Elder Ye's instructions well, which makes feel deeply uneasy!"
"Uneasy? Haha, I haven't seen it. Where do you feel uneasy?"
Elder Ye laughed, and Yang Xiao smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, Qin Xiaotian brought this upon himself, and it's not your fault. You already spared him once; it was he who didn't cherish the opportunity. Let's forget about Qin Xiaotian's matter for now. By the way, you didn't co to just to say this, did you?"
Yang Xiao nodded,
"Elder Ye, you're indeed smart,"
"Stop with the flattery. Let guess why you ca to see ,"
At that mont, Elder Ye acted like a mischievous old child, scratching his ears and pretending to find it very difficult.
"Hmm, got it. You want to ask about the Life and Death Iteration Law, right?"
"Yes, last ti, thanks to your guidance, I managed to break through to the Empire Level Realm. I haven't properly thanked you yet; are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a feast."
"Haha, this old man isn't that interested in food anymore. You don't need to tempt with delicious food. Speak about the main thing."
Yang Xiao giggled and said:
"I was just thinking, when can I ask you to stab with a sword again to help cultivate the Life and Death Iteration Law."
"Haha, are you dreaming? Do you think I could just randomly stab you with a sword and help you break through in cultivating the Life and Death Iteration Law?"
Yang Xiao was taken aback,
"Didn't you stab with a sword last ti too? Can't you stab again?"
Elder Ye shook his head and said:
"You don't understand how dangerous and crazy the Life and Death Iteration Law is. Have you ever wondered why almost no one cultivates it?"
"Is it because accidents happen easily, and people die?"
"Mm, you got it right. The Life and Death Iteration Law requires the cultivator to stab themselves with a sword. However, the prerequisite is that each ti the inner core must reach the critical point, enough to revive you while activating the evolution of body genes—either goal not being achieved ans failure.
The first few layers of the Life and Death Falling Rules are relatively easy. However, as you move forward, it's becos increasingly difficult, with very strict requirents on the cultivation level of the inner core. This is sothing the cultivator themselves often can feel.
If I stab you recklessly, and you die, do you need to be responsible?"
"Then why did you stab with a sword the day before yesterday and it succeeded?"
Elder Ye responded with a sly smile:
"The fact that you didn't die was purely good luck!"
Yang Xiao: "@#￥%"
MMP!
Elder Ye smiled and continued:
"The first layer of the Life and Death Iteration Law is very easy, but the further you go, the harder it becos, with higher accuracy requirents, lower success rates, and higher mortality rates."
After listening to Elder Ye, Yang Xiao paused for a mont and asked:
"According to what you're saying, should I stop cultivating this Life and Death Iteration Technique?"
"Hmm, it's not that you can't continue. I just don't want you to throw your life away. Look at ."
As Elder Ye spoke, he suddenly took off his shirt, revealing his solid, broad chest. At just one glance, Yang Xiao was stunned.
Elder Ye's left chest bore dozens of scars.
"When I was young, I practiced the Life and Death Iteration Law, stabbing myself many tis, with more failures than successes. I almost died practicing it."
"Then you surely found a way to succeed later, right?"
Yang Xiao was overjoyed.
"No!"
Elder Ye answered straightforwardly.
"It was all luck, betting with life. Are you ready to bet your life to practice this technique?"
