Chapter 52 Doucai 3
Everyone was taken aback by these words.
Cai Fei grabbed a bag, collected the spirit stones and spirit tickets on the ground, and casually tossed it to Wei Yiye. Then he loudly repeated, "Borrow money on the spot, the more the merrier! If you lose, I'll cover the loan; if you win, it's half yours!"
"Interesting!" With this comment, several spirit stones were tossed out from the nearby tree. It was the voice of the "Stone Boy" from before. "Here's 50, it's all yours if I win, just buy me a bowl of wine!"
"I don't drink, and I don't want you to pay me back. Just give me two cents of the winnings!" Li Fengping stood up, took out a 50-yuan spirit note from her Qiankun bag, and ran over to hand it to Cai Fei.
"That's quite interesting," Wei Yiye, who had been busy keeping accounts, nodded, took out a first-grade high-quality flame talisman and placed it on the white plate. "I'm a penniless pauper, but I have a talisman as a reward from the academy, which can be redeemed at the academy anytime. How about 50 spirit stones? No profit, I'll support you this time!"
With these individuals taking the lead, the students in the Earth Class generously contributed, each contributing 10 or 20 spirit stones, which were then scattered around Cai Fei, quickly accumulating to over 900.
Cai Fei swept all the spirit stones into his bag, glanced at the numbers on the betting plate, kept some, and threw over 902 to make up a number that was relatively easy to pay out.
6780 to 2260, three to one.
Cai Fei cupped his hands in greeting towards the students of Class 1-1, then stood up and looked at Chen Xuanbiao, his voice calm and confident: "Please."
900 spirit stones, if you're careful, that's three months' living expenses for an average student!
From the moment Cai Fei borrowed the money, Chen Xuanbiao watched Cai Fei's performance with his arms crossed. The people of Aolai value strength above all else and regard money as their lifeblood. If they dare to make such a heavy bet, they must have something to rely on.
Chen Xuanbiao had dominated Sushanfang for many years, and his strength was obvious. The only public fight between the two men was in the last few days. It was said that he won every match, and each match was a close call. People said that he was hiding his strength.
It is said that in the early stages of the battle, he even disguised himself as a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, demonstrating remarkable skill in controlling his dantian.
So what are you hiding?
To dare to place such a heavy bet!
Chen Xuanbiao sneered. So what if he didn't know the truth? He, Chen Xuanbiao, had fought countless battles where the truth was unknown. There was only one truth: everything is trash in the face of strength!
"Let's begin."
Chen Xuanbiao uttered a sentence indifferently, spread his hands flat, circulated his energy, and when he withdrew them, his bones cracked and popped, his wide cultivator robes bulged, and his already tall body seemed to grow even larger.
"Let's try my new trick first—Yangguan Sandie."
Chen Xuanbiao strode forward, drew a semicircle with his left hand, and pushed out with his right palm without actually pushing, and a wave of spiritual energy suddenly rose up.
The first move was unexpected—it was a defensive skill, and also a very common one. The academy library had jade slips available to learn it, and almost everyone who cultivated physical strength, especially those who focused on defense, had learned it.
The key to the Yangguan Sandie technique lies in the word "Guan" (关). When a cultivator defends, their breath is like a wall, standing firm like a pass, and they unleash three consecutive palm strikes to block the attack. Hence the name "Yangguan Sandie".
This move originally required a fixed stance to channel energy, but Chen Xuanbiao clearly overcame this difficulty. He strode forward while channeling energy into his palm, turning a defensive technique into an offensive one.
The spectators on the sidelines were all skilled in the art, and seeing Chen Xuanbiao modify his technique in such a way, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing!"
Cai Fei dared not be negligent and quickly moved to the left with crab-like steps, avoiding Chen Xuanbiao's side.
Chen Xuanbiao turned with his steps, but his palm strike did not diminish in the slightest. Seeing that he had forced Cai Fei to a corner of the stone platform, Chen Xuanbiao quickly pushed out his palm, and a vast spiritual force surged toward Cai Fei like a tide.
Cai Fei felt a tremendous force pushing him forward. His opponent was still two zhang away when the palm wind made his chest feel tight and his breathing difficult. Knowing that he could not withstand the attack, he fell to the ground in a bridge-like motion, then rolled to the right, trying to escape the range of Chen Xuanbiao's palm force.
Chen Xuanbiao simply turned to the side, his left palm striking out, spiritual energy surging forth, creating a wave of energy about three zhang wide, which rushed straight towards Cai Fei, pushing the tumbling Cai Fei towards the edge of the stone platform.
This is what you call overwhelming strength.
The next step for Cai Fei was to take to the air. Once in the air, he was like a floating duckweed, and the third palm strike would sweep him off the ground without any effort.
Sure enough, Cai Fei took off, but in a way that was slightly unexpected by Chen Xuanbiao. Instead of leaping, he did a somersault.
Cai Fei suddenly leaped up, somersaulted in the air, and tried to flip from the edge to the center of the arena.
Chen Xuanbiao aimed at Cai Fei's path and unleashed his third palm strike with both hands. A powerful wave of energy, several meters wide, surged towards Cai Fei, sending him flying high into the air as he was somersaulting, flying straight away from the stone platform.
That's all.
Chen Xuanbiao calmly withdrew from his pose, stretched his arms out to the sky, and welcomed the cheers that gradually rose from all around.
And it was at this moment!
Cai Fei, who had been thrown off the field, flipped in the air and suddenly moved like a snake, rising several feet after three twists and turns, just in time to avoid Chen Xuanbiao's follow-up palm strike. Then he struck the edge of the air wave with his palm, somersaulted backward, and landed straight in the center of the field.
Many cheers were cut short as soon as they were uttered, followed by a unified gasp from the entire audience.
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit!"
"What the hell?!"
Yes, it snaked upwards several feet in the air, what the hell is that?
Chen Xuanbiao felt a little dizzy, so he couldn't help but reach up and wipe his face, rubbing his eyes hard.
That's right, Cai Fei was standing right in the middle of the venue, and he even stretched out his hand to me in a "please" gesture.
Spatial magic?
Chen Xuanbiao muttered to himself. Having grown up in a mountain stronghold, he was quite knowledgeable and knew of similar spells. However, such spells could only be practiced by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level. Seeing such a miraculous technique on a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining was quite astonishing.
"Impressive skills indeed! Take my second move—Cloud Dragon Five Claws!" Chen Xuanbiao gave Cai Fei a thumbs up, took a step forward, and charged straight at Cai Fei.
This is yet another trick, invented by the famous Erlang Shen Yang Jian.
It is said that he used the "Five Manifestations of Cloud and Dragon" technique to intercept and kill Sun Wukong. Although the Five Manifestations of Cloud and Dragon was fast, it lacked adaptability. The monkey was agile and unpredictable. He could catch up with him, but even if he did, he couldn't touch a single hair. He always ended up wasting his time.
Later, Yang Jian created the "Five Manifestations of the Cloud Dragon" based on the "Five Claws of the Cloud Dragon," which finally caused some damage to the monkey.
This technique transforms flight into maneuvering, and then supplements it with techniques such as dragon capture and crane control, allowing for aerial capture and remote seizure. Its power is extremely strong, and when cultivated to the Great Luo realm, it is said that nothing within a hundred feet is beyond its control.
Many people have studied Yang Jian's combat techniques, and various mountain strongholds have tried to imitate them. However, the Cloud Dragon Five Claws technique is quite difficult, and most people end up with a poor imitation.
This technique originally involved leaping through the air, but Qi Refining cultivators cannot fly and can only move on the ground. Thus, the "Five Claws of the Cloud Dragon" became the "Five Claws of the Lizard." Moreover, Qi Refining cultivators often lack sufficient spiritual energy, so they can only move around without being able to capture anything.
But as soon as Chen Xuanbiao made his move, Cai Fei knew that this person was indeed extraordinary. Before he even arrived, a suction force had already reached him, which was the Dragon Capture Technique that could capture people in mid-air!
Left with no other choice, we had to resort to the cockroach dance once again!
Cai Fei fell backward, his feet planted firmly on the ground, like a steel bridge with his head suspended in mid-air. Then, his whole body suddenly shifted three feet to the side, barely dodging Chen Xuanbiao's first grab.
After Chen Xuanbiao missed his first grab, he suddenly turned around, rotated his right heel ninety degrees, and reached down with his left hand to make a second grab in the form of "scooping the moon from the sea".
Cai Fei remained in the Iron Bridge posture, soaring into the air like a cockroach, shifting his entire body back a foot to dodge the grab, and then performing an aerial somersault, suddenly disappearing mid-air.
"Holy shit!"
The onlookers gasped in surprise. Who would have thought that Cai Fei, who had been fighting against people here for so many days and always going head-to-head with them, was actually an assassin who could turn invisible!
