"Why pretend to lose? Just to humiliate me?"

Deng Yu looked at Zhao Tengqi with a dark and sinister gaze.

He originally thought to defeat Zhao Tengqi and regain some dignity.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tengqi defeated him in one move.

Not only did he fail to regain face, he was even more humiliated!

His heart was filled with anger.

"Humiliate you? I'm not that bored." Zhao Tengqi chuckled softly.

"Then why?" Deng Yu pressed on.

"I just thought using thirty percent of my strength to duel you would be about right, but I underestimated you, actually allowing you to win."

"The facts prove you are still quite strong, not bad."

Zhao Tengqi spoke with a light laugh.

The eyes of the surrounding people suddenly focused, their expressions strange.

Deng Yu appeared distraught and emotionally troubled.

It was infuriating!

Thirty percent strength?

How dismissive is that?

"Your path is still long." Zhao Tengqi smirked and walked to the side.

With such fickle ambition, how could he achieve greatness?

If Deng Yu truly possessed Zhao Tengqi's strength, wouldn't he overturn the skies?

"I refuse to accept this!" Deng Yu shouted.

Today's humiliation made him like a drenched dog, so embarrassing he couldn't stand it!

As soon as Deng Yu spoke.

Not only Zhao Tengqi, but everyone around couldn't help but laugh.

Unacceptable?

The competition was crushed, while the duel was instantly defeated, yet he won't accept it?

What qualifications does he have to be indignant?

"Haha."

Zhao Tengqi shook his head, truly too lazy to entangle further with Deng Yu.

After all, the Copper-colored Profound Ice he wanted was already in the bag.

Faced with Zhao Tengqi's great disdain, everyone showed more contempt towards Deng Yu.

You see, he doesn't even have the interest to argue with you!

Suddenly, Deng Yu cast his gaze towards Qin Chen.

"I, Deng Yu, admit to Zhao Tengqi."

"But I refuse to accept him!"

Deng Yu abruptly pointed at Qin Chen.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused.

Qin Chen was initially stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"So what do you propose?"

"Want a duel with me?"

"If so, don't bother, I surrender." Qin Chen chuckled.

Deng Yu's face turned red immediately.

To be honest, if Qin Chen hadn't said that, he would have indeed planned to duel with him.

In his mind, thinking if he couldn't defeat Zhao Tengqi, could he not beat Qin Chen?

But Qin Chen's words instantly woke him up.

As a Five-star Telekinetic Master, dueling a Four-star Telekinetic Master, even if victorious, what would it prove?

"Of course not." Deng Yu changed his tune.

"So what do you propose?" Qin Chen laughed.

He lost to Zhao Tengqi but wants to regain face from him?

"Everyone knows, in this competition, there's typically a fourth stage over the years."

"Awakening the Mind Emperor's Image."

"Let's compete in that!!!" Deng Yu declared.

The crowd immediately caused some commotion.

The difficulty of awakening the Mind Emperor's Image is much higher than the Telekinesis King's Image.

"You think you can awaken the Mind Emperor's Image?" Qin Chen chuckled softly.

"I might; naturally, you can't. If I can't, naturally, you also won't be able!"

Deng Yu muttered silently in his heart.

That's exactly his plan!

Because his strength surpasses Qin Chen's, logically, he is much closer to the Realm of Thought Emperor.

If he can't, Qin Chen absolutely can't.

This way, he won't be embarrassed.

Although Qin Chen awakened more Telekinesis King's Images than him, it can't be equated with awakening the Mind Emperor's Image.

"Just say, dare to compete or not?" Deng Yu challenged.

"Sure, we can compete."

"But, it can't be for nothing."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be just child's play?" Qin Chen laughed.

People looked on with peculiar expressions.

Qin Chen's words were truly too sarcastic.

He compared competing with Deng Yu to child's play.

Deng Yu naturally picked up on the meaning in Qin Chen's words, his face becoming more sullen.

"How about two hundred drops of Telekinesis Essence Liquid?" Deng Yu proposed.

Qin Chen's eyes immediately lit up.

Many Telekinesis Masters in the crowd had their eyes fixed.

Two hundred drops of Telekinesis Essence Liquid is quite valuable.

If lost, Deng Yu would definitely suffer greatly.

"You must first show them to me. If you lose and refuse to pay up, what should I do then? Especially with such thick skin of yours." Qin Chen laughed.

Haha!

Everyone heard this and almost burst out laughing.

Those words were simply too sharp.

Deng Yu's face could not have looked more unpleasant.

"I, Deng, have never spoken emptily."

"I have two hundred drops of Telekinesis Essence Liquid in my Qiankun Bag, check it if you must!"

Deng Yu gritted his teeth and took out the Qiankun Bag from his waist, tossing it to Qin Chen.

Qin Chen caught it, his telekinesis probing inside, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Indeed, and not just two hundred drops of Telekinesis Essence Liquid in it.

"Alright." Qin Chen nodded with a smile and directly pocketed the Qiankun Bag.

Deng Yu's face froze at once.

Everyone's eyes also widened.

"What are you doing?" Deng Yu shouted at Qin Chen.

"Why so impatient?"

"With so many people watching, why worry I'll seize your belongings?"

"I just thought if you lost later, and had to give me more, it'd be troublesome. Might as well keep it here, saves the hassle." Qin Chen laughed.

What kind of ridiculous reasoning is this?

"Is Qin Chen trying to drive Deng Yu to his death emotionally?"

"Forget about Deng Yu, even I'm feeling vexed."

People looked on with strange expressions.

"Rest assured, thick skin, my brother has always had superior qualities, I can vouch for it."

At this moment, Little Strange who was sitting on Qin Chen's shoulder also chimed in while crunching on a fruit.

Deng Yu nearly collapsed where he stood.

Thick skin?

I'm bloody Deng Yu! I have a name! I do not go by Thick Skin!

Also, you vouch?

You guys are in cahoots, what kind of vouching is this?

"Fine, I've put up two hundred drops of Telekinesis Essence Liquid, what will you stake?" Deng Yu gritted his teeth.

His teeth were about to grind to pieces.

Yet, Qin Chen heard this and looked surprised.

"What will I stake? Do I need to put up anything?"

"You wanted this competition, I never asked for it, why should I have to put up anything?"

Qin Chen showed a perplexed expression.

"Yeah, big bro, I think this person is really strange."

"Simply ridiculous, huh."

Little Strange added helpfully.

You damned bear!!!

Upon hearing this, Deng Yu became so furious his lungs were about to explode.

Ridiculous?

Who's being ridiculous here?

What about reason? So you don't speak reason?

Not only unreasonable but also turning against me?

Is this how a human behaves?

Beast! Simply a beast!

Deng Yu nearly burst into tears on the spot.

The people around were entirely dumbfounded.

Deng Yu shook with anger, looking at Qin Chen with bloodshot eyes.

"Fine, you don't need to stake anything."

"I just want you to apologize!"
