Capítulo 1300: Chapter 1301: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well

Although Chu Fengmian was ecstatic in his heart, his expression remained as calm as ever as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Mu Shao almost coughed up blood. This was a spiritual artifact he used for his opponents, yet in Chu Fengmian’s mouth, it had become mere broken spiritual artifacts.

“Boy, don’t get smug!”

Mu Shao looked at Chu Fengmian with a gaze full of disdain.

Although he hadn’t anticipated Chu Fengmian to reverse the situation, even if he was truly gambling, he wasn’t afraid. He was certain of victory; otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to gamble with Chu Fengmian voluntarily.

“This wager needs a witness. Ancient Emperor Songzhu, could I trouble you?”

Chu Fengmian suddenly spoke to Ancient Emperor Songzhu beside him.

This wager was about to bet everything Mu Shao had, and Chu Fengmian was worried that Mu Shao might renege on the agreement.

“Sure.”

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Ancient Emperor Songzhu merely nodded calmly.

Though he observed everything, he had no intention of preventing it. In the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, there was no prohibition against disciples fighting each other.

One might even say, a force like the Saint Dragon Secret Realm encouraged confrontations among disciples. To become a powerful figure, one must go through countless struggles.

In the Saint Dragon Secret Realm, strength is everything. Only the stronger martial artists are entitled to more resources. Such battles are commonplace, as long as they don’t result in fatalities, no one will intervene.

Seeing Ancient Emperor Songzhu agree, Chu Fengmian felt reassured. No matter how arrogant Mu Shao was, he wouldn’t dare break a promise in front of an Ancient Emperor.

“So, will you go first, or should I?”

Looking at Mu Shao, Chu Fengmian spoke casually, his tone unshakably confident, as if victory was already in his hands.

This made Mu Shao frown; Chu Fengmian’s demeanor was overly confident, leaving him a bit worried about whether this gamble was the right choice.

Yet, at this point, he was riding a tiger and couldn’t back down.

“I’ll go first.”

With a cold snort, Mu Shao stepped forward in a flash and opened his space ring in front of Ancient Emperor Songzhu.

“Swish!”

At the moment the space ring opened, countless magical bones gushed out, filling it to the brim, a mountain of magical bones of varying sizes.

This was dozens or even hundreds of times more than the magical bones Niu Xi had previously.

“How many magical bones are there?”

The crowd looked at the mountain of magical bones, somewhat dumbfounded. Hundreds of thousands? Millions?

Though they had suspected Mu Shao had quite a few magical bones, the sight of this mountain of bones still astonished them.

“Hmph.”

Seeing the shock in everyone’s eyes, Mu Shao’s face showed a hint of pride. This was finally his time to shine.

“Please, Ancient Emperor Songzhu, evaluate the points.”

Mu Shao looked at Ancient Emperor Songzhu and spoke.

Ancient Emperor Songzhu released his spiritual sense, carefully discerning for a full five minutes before calculating the total value of these magical bones.

“One million three hundred seventy thousand points, equivalent to one hundred three thousand seven hundred contribution points.”

Ancient Emperor Songzhu spoke calmly.

Given his status, he had witnessed countless evaluations and was no longer surprised.

However, upon hearing the figure of one million three hundred seventy thousand, everyone was stunned.

Over a million — the previous highest, Niu Xi, had only over twelve thousand points. This was a hundred times more than Niu Xi.

“Mu Shao had so many magical bones on him.”

“No wonder, with one million three hundred seventy thousand, no matter how strong Chu Fengmian is, there’s no way he could have gathered that many magical bones.”

“It’s over. It seems Chu Fengmian was too cocky and is about to face a downfall.”

If there was any suspense in the betting duel before, this revelation of Mu Shao’s one million three hundred seventy thousand points had almost ended all speculation.

“Kid, it’s your turn.”

Mu Shao took his jade talisman and jade bottle, walked off to the side, and gave Chu Fengmian a provoking glance.

“Oh? That’s it? I thought you had more magical bones to dare challenge me. Turns out it’s just a little?”

Laughing, Chu Fengmian looked at Mu Shao’s provocation and spoke.

“Well, I shouldn’t have expected anything of you.”

“Hmph, stop bragging here, still being stubborn at the brink of death?”

Mu Shao dismissed Chu Fengmian’s words. There was no way he believed Chu Fengmian could have more magical bones than he did.

To him, it was just Chu Fengmian’s desperate bravado.

In most years, newcomers achieving fifty to sixty thousand points would top the ranks; over a million was a rarity a decade ago.

There were indeed prodigious individuals who gained millions, even tens of millions, of points, but that was a century ago, not in this era.

Besides, this time, the assessment in the Ghost Domain was only five days, not seven, making surpassing this number even harder.

“It can’t be. Chu Fengmian surely can’t have more magical bones than Mu Shao.”

“Looks like he’s unwilling to concede, just holding on.”

“With ten thousand contribution points, no one wants to lose.”

Whispers spread out as numerous eyes turned towards Chu Fengmian.

Disciples from Mu Emperor Association even openly mocked.

“Hurry up, don’t waste time.”

“Wasting time? I was just letting you revel in your moment. Now, let me show you something.”

Chu Fengmian smiled slightly, taking out a space ring and infusing it with spiritual power to open it.

“Look and see, what it means to see only a fraction, a mere hundred plus thousand points can’t even compare to my leftovers!”

Rumble!

As the space ring opened, an endless stream of magical bones surged out.

The quantity didn’t defeat Mu Shao’s at all.

“So many!”

“No, there’s even more?”

But the amount was increasing over time, now clearly surpassing Mu Shao’s magical bones.

“This can’t be? This can’t be!”

Mu Shao’s face dramatically changed, jumping to his feet with a pale face as he looked at Chu Fengmian.

The magical bones Chu Fengmian had were more than his, and it wasn’t the end yet.

Under everyone’s gaze, more and more magical bones continued to fly out from the space ring.

Chu Fengmian had acquired all of Blood Duke’s magical bones, which filled an entire space ring.

One mountain, two mountains, three mountains.

A single mountain couldn’t contain them. On the square, countless magical bones piled into one mountain after another.
