LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 427: A Bet
For a young person like Tang Yin to challenge the gods in such a way was outrageous to many, but to others, it was an act of heroism, and they admired him even more.
For some, like Li Zhangyuan, this was something to celebrate.
He couldn't help but jump for joy at this moment. Continue your journey with empire
'Hahaha, shit, it doesn't matter anymore whether you're that Tang Yin or Ren Xiao, either way, you're going to die, you bastard. Hahahahahaha...' He thought.
He wasn't the only one who thought like that.
Among the members of the Ice Divine Sect, there was a man who thought like that and also a member of the other Great Sect in the north.
Tang Yin hadn't noticed it, but among the participants this time, the 3 who attacked him that time, cutting off his arm, were present.
Still, it's not as if he would attach any importance to it right now. Sooner or later, he will collect that revenge.
Right now, he must focus on what is in front of him.
As he was on his way back to stand next to his master, the authoritative and power-filled voice of the Sun God once again reached his ears.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the little northwest owner to be so arrogant. This is the first time a little brat from the younger generation has dared to raise his voice at me like that." He spoke.
Tang Yin stopped and looked up to stare at him.
"Are you saying I'm arrogant? Hehe, you seem to be confusing terms, sun character. Just as respecting is not a symbol of submission, not respecting is not a sign of arrogance either." Tang Yin replied, causing the Sun God to frown.
'What a good answer.' He thought.
The worst part was that he didn't have a way to respond, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Hmph, good answer. For your spunky attitude, I'll let it go. But, do you want to wager a little with me? I just propose that you keep that attitude in the arena and challenge us, completing your battle against us. If you do, I'll let your arrogant attitude pass and I won't punish you, plus I'll give you an additional reward at the end of the battle, but if you don't... Hehe." Replied the Sun God.
Tang Yin glared at him and scoffed a little.
"If not, what? Hehe, I'm not afraid of your sun hall and I don't mind abiding by your rules. But, well, I like gambling. You only have to add one thing. When my sect takes the first place from you, you must acknowledge that you are below our sect. Of course, to make it fairer, the same thing will happen if we lose.
I'm just adding a little more, wouldn't you like to try?" Tang Yin asked smiling.
His answer surprised the Sun God, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud at that moment.
"Hahahahaha, you're really funny, hahahahaha." He spoke.
It wasn't only him who was laughing. Many were laughing out loud at this he had said.
Tang Yin didn't mind though. He simply waited for this guy's response.
Which came shortly after.
"Well, well. You all have witnessed his words. So, all of you are the witnesses to this bet." He said, finally closing the bet. Although the laughter continued, the best smile was on Tang Yin's face.
His sly smile which wasn't seen by many people meant that he had won this time.
Losing to these guys? That wasn't written in his books.
Tang Yin then returned to his place, where the girls greeted him with a smile.
"I didn't expect such a response, Tang Yin. It seems I've taught you well." Shi Yue said smiling at that moment.
"That's right, the Tang Yin I first saw didn't seem to be so determined. You've learned well, kid." Said Long Jia, who was standing beside Shi Yue.
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders at her words.
There was no time to talk.
A powerful man flew over at that moment and stared at everyone present.
"The Battle of the Great Sects is here. I, Protector of the Supreme Academy, will be the referee on this occasion, please be prepared." Said this man.
Tang Yin frowned as soon as he saw him, 'Another god... As my master suspected, that guy has gods among his subordinates.' Tang Yin thought.
"Where is the Elder God? I was late this time and would like to pay my respects to him." Said a man at the time. He was in the east section.
The protector looked at him and nodded, "East Sect Master, I'm sorry. Lord God is busy with a responsibility that came up at the last minute, I don't think he will come." He said, causing several to be surprised by this.
They did not expect that the Elder God would be absent from such an important event, many of those present wanted to meet him.
Tang Yin frowned when he heard this.
"Tang Yin, what do you think is going on? This is the first time the Elder God has been absent." Shi Yue asked in a way that only Tang Yin could hear.
Tang Yin nodded a little and answered her in the same way, "If that girl doesn't listen to me, forget about seeing him here, but, if she does listen to me..." Tang Yin said and felt a presence approaching at that moment, so he turned to that place and smiled soon after.
"Well, if she listens to me, that guy will return very angry." He spoke.
Along with his words came other words from a different place.
"No need, I'm here. I've solved the problems in time. Whoever wants to greet me, I'll see him when the battle is over." He spoke.
The Elder God then finally showed himself to everyone present. His face looked a little... Angry? While a beautiful girl came behind him, her head down.
Tang Yin smiled at this, 'Well, it looks like the seed of doubt was more effective than I thought. His anger should mean I still have time.' He thought.
Shi Yue stared at him after seeing this, she was thoughtful about this.
'I wonder what exactly this guy is looking to do...' She thought after glancing at the Elder God, though she then averted her attention.
Once the Elder God arrived, everything became more animated, and finally...
"It's time. The Battle of the Great Sects is here. Each participating member who is not a Great Sect must win 3 fights before they can challenge any of the main ones. Good luck to all, I hope fortune shines upon you." Said the protector and a thunderous sound reached everyone's ears as a large number of tiles appeared all over the place...
