Qin Chen heard someone calling his name.
His eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Because he felt that the voice seemed somewhat familiar.
Inside the two adjacent bamboo houses.
Lin Songyun and Zhao Tengqi also emerged from their own bamboo houses.
The three of them directly soared out of the bamboo houses.
Seeing the person standing above Baiyue Island, Qin Chen’s gaze immediately became strange.
Seeing Xue Sen with a face full of inexplicable anger.
This made Qin Chen very curious.
What exactly is going on with this guy?
Next to Qin Chen, Zhao Tengqi’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
He recognized the two elite disciples beside Xue Sen.
Qin Chen’s heart stirred upon hearing this.
Could it be that because I won ten thousand stone coins from him last time, this guy has brought people to trouble me?
"Brother Xue, what’s the matter? Have you been flush with cash recently? Fancy another wager with your junior brother here, to send some more stone coins my way?"
Qin Chen looked at Xue Sen with a smile.
Xue Sen almost lost his Elemental Power and nearly stumbled to fall from the sky.
Meanwhile, Du Jia and Jing Tai looked on with a face eager for a good show.
The surrounding people, seeing Qin Chen’s words angering Xue Sen to such a state, were very puzzled if they were not in the know.
"I heard that previously, Xue Sen and that Chen Qin had a wager at the Puppet Tower."
"In the end, he lost ten thousand stone coins to the other party and suffered a huge loss of face."
"With Chen Qin’s remark, he’s undoubtedly ripping open his wounds again."
Those who knew the reason spoke out.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people were instantly amazed.
"I conceded last time!"
"But this time, do you dare to engage me in a battle?"
"The stake is still ten thousand stone coins, how about it?"
Xue Sen spoke with a dark face.
Another ten thousand stone coins?
The crowd couldn’t help but be inwardly taken aback.
Ten thousand stone coins were an astronomical sum for ninety percent of the people present.
It was an absolutely lavish gamble.
"It seems Xue Sen, having lost to Chen Qin in the Puppet Tower in a contest of the Heaven and Earth Realm, now wants to regain his reputation with a comparison of strength."
"Xue Sen has been an elite disciple for several years now, and among all elite disciples, his strength can be ranked in the top ten."
"Has he no shame challenging an inexperienced New Disciple to a fight?"
"Yeah, isn’t that a bit too faceless?"
The crowd looked at Xue Sen with expressions full of disdain.
"It seems Brother Xue quite enjoys wagering."
Qin Chen chuckled upon hearing this.
At this moment, Qin Chen’s tone suddenly changed sharply.
"If you want to wager with me, a mere ten thousand stone coins, that’s not enough."
Qin Chen spoke with a light smile, his words shocking the crowd.
A burst of astonishment erupted at once.
Ten thousand stone coins still weren’t enough?
Wasn’t that a bit too presumptuous?
Even Du Jia and Jing Tai standing by were astonished.
Even though they were elite disciples.
Ten thousand stone coins were a significant amount to them as well.
"Ten thousand stone coins are not enough, so how much do you want to bet?"
Xue Sen asked with a heavy expression.
"I’ve heard Brother Xue has a resource island with a stone coins Mine, which I find quite interesting."
"I wonder if Brother Xue dares to put up that stone coins Mine to wager with me?"
Qin Chen asked, his face beaming with a radiant smile.
The crowd was startled.
Even Zhao Tengqi and Lin Songyun were both slightly shocked.
Looking at Qin Chen, they wore a look of surprise.
Qin Chen’s demands would be so immense.
He actually directly targeted the stone coins Mine for the wager!
The value of a stone coins Mine was not comparable to a mere ten thousand stone coins!
A stone coins Mine could produce stone coins through continuous mining.
An unexploited stone coins Mine would have a yield of nearly one million stone coins at the very least!
That’s the kind of yield you could expect from an untapped stone coins mine.
the value of a mine that’s been worked for a while is not something to scoff at.
"Even if I were to wager the stone coins mine against you,"
"What would you wager?"
Xue Sen’s expression changed slightly.
he hadn’t anticipated Qin Chen daring to go so big.
his expression shifted back.
In a gambling fight, the stakes must be balanced.
Even if he put up a stone coins mine,
what could Qin Chen offer?
"One million stone coins, is that enough?"
Qin Chen said with a faint smile.
One million... stone coins?
Zhao Tengqi and Lin Songyun exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
they had no idea when Qin Chen had managed to amass a full million stone coins.
Those around them who heard this dizzying figure all gasped in astonishment.
A stone coins mine that had been exploited for years was absolutely not worth one million stone coins!
Qin Chen’s million stone coins were certainly worth far more than the mine in Xue Sen’s hands.
it was Xue Sen who appeared to have put up the lesser stake.
"One million stone coins, do you have them?"
Xue Sen’s face showed a jolt, a hint of uncertainty in his heart.
"If I lose, one million stone coins will be yours,"
"With so many disciples of the Blood Continent Sect watching, do you really fear I would renege?"
Qin Chen said with an unfazed smile.
"Or is it that Brother Xue... doesn’t dare?"
Qin Chen’s last word hung in the air as he swiftly changed tact.
His face was full of smiles.
whose complexion turned extremely grim.
"What an epic gamble!"
"Yeah, I’ve never seen anyone directly wager a million stone coins before!"
The surrounding Blood Continent Sect disciples were all stunned by the spectacle.
This was something Xue Sen had not anticipated.
Seeing the confident smile on Qin Chen’s face, Xue Sen indeed felt a flicker of unease.
if it were just a hundred thousand stone coins, that might be dismissed.
If he lost, he lost, at worst he’d lose face again.
That was half of Xue Sen’s life!
If he lost, he might as well feel like running headfirst into a wall.
Though Xue Sen was very confident in his own strength,
faced with such a lavish bet, his heart felt a trace of cowardice.
Because if he won, all was well.
such a painful outcome was simply unbearable for Xue Sen.
"What’s the matter, Xue Sen, got cold feet now?"
Seeing that Xue Sen was slow to respond,
Du Jia and Jing Tai’s mouths curled with a hint of mockery.
Xue Sen saw the mockery at the corners of Du Jia’s lips.
His face darkened instantly.
he clenched his teeth fiercely,
his eyes locking onto Qin Chen on the other side.
Xue Sen softly voiced three words.
With Xue Sen’s declaration,
the area erupted into a torrent of noise.
All the disciples of the Blood Continent Sect were visibly excited.
They all were eager to know,
in this historic bet, who would be the victor and who the loser?
