Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

"Fear?"

Li Ling was amused when he heard this and said with a smile: "Would I be afraid of you?"

"Since you are not afraid, why would you pay such a huge price to stop me from participating in the fighting arena? If you have absolute confidence, why would you bother with this?" Chen Mo leaned back and looked at Li Ling.

Li Ling could naturally hear the hint of sarcasm in Chen Mo's tone, and his eyes immediately became a little gloomy: "I just don't want to embarrass Ni Chang. I admit that you have some skills, but I have also found out that the reason you were able to kill Dugu Xin was that you used some not-so-bright means to absorb the energy of the sun stone and burn Dugu Xin to death, but can you use the same trick again?

Furthermore, the use of magic weapons is prohibited in the fighting arena. Even if you have the strength to challenge opponents of higher levels, it is difficult to cross the huge gap between the Spirit Wheel Realm and the Spirit Void Realm."

"But you are not in the true Lingxu realm." Chen Mo said calmly.

"That's enough for you."

"Really? If you were sure enough, you wouldn't have invited me here today."

"Arrogant." Li Ling's gloomy eyes turned gloomy, and he said coldly: "If you really want Nichang to be well, you should quit now. Do you want your affairs to be exposed and bring shame to Nichang?"

"I should be the one saying this to you. Nichang likes me, not you. As the prince of King Wu, you should withdraw gracefully instead of being unreasonable." Chen Mo whispered a critical blow.

"Snapped."

Li Ling slammed the table in front of him, but he controlled his strength well. There was only a sound of slamming the table, but the table did not break. He stood up, stared coldly at Chen Mo in front of him, and said, "What did Nichang give you? I will pay double."

"If this is all the prince wants to talk about, then there is nothing to talk about between us."

Chen Mo sighed lightly, stood up and walked towards the door of the private room.

"Three times." Li Ling said.

Chen Mo turned a deaf ear.

"Five times, don't be too greedy."

Chen Mo stopped.

Li Ling smiled. As expected, no one would have trouble with "money". He looked contemptuous. Why pretend to be a tough guy? He took out the pills from the storage magic weapon and said, "Take the things and leave quickly."

But Chen Mo didn't want his things. He stopped just to say, "Why are you so anxious, my lord? If I lose the fighting arena in two days, I will leave naturally."

Chen Mo turned around and pointed at the space ring on the table, stared at Li Ling, and said with a smile: "If the prince has any tricks at that time, just use them. Why bother with such a big move?"

After saying that, Chen Mo opened the door of the private room and went out.

Li Ling stared at Chen Mo's departing back with a gloomy look, and the coldness on the corners of his mouth became more and more intense.

However, he did not do anything to Chen Mo right now, because he knew that the other party had someone backing him up.

"If you don't accept my toast, don't blame me for being ruthless. In the fighting arena, even if I beat you to death, no one can say no."

As soon as they left Xuanwu Tower, Dongfang Nishang couldn't wait to ask Chen Mo what Li Ling had just said.

Chen Mo said: "He asked me not to participate in the competition in two days. If I agree, he will give me 5,000 Pure Yang Pills and 10,000 Fire Cloud Pills. If I feel it is not enough, he can even let me add more."

"You agree?"

"Of course, with such generosity and so many resources, it is enough for me to cultivate my spirit to the third level of perfection. Only a fool would disagree." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Ah" Hearing this, Dongfang Nishang, who had not noticed Chen Mo's expression, immediately believed it. Although she also wanted Chen Mo not to participate in the competition in her heart, for some reason, Dongfang Nishang felt inexplicably sad when she heard him say that. She forced a smile on her face and looked up at Chen Mo while speaking: "That's good, this way you will not be involved, and you can also get a lot of training..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he saw the expression on Chen Mo's face, and he suddenly reacted and stopped talking.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Nichang, you're not taking this seriously, are you?"

"You...you are so bad." Dongfang Nishang stomped her feet in anger. Her face turned red. She quickly walked past Chen Mo and walked to the front, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore.

"Haha." Chen Mo chased after him with a smile and said, "I was just joking with you, and you're still angry."

"This joke is not funny at all."

"Didn't you tell me not to participate? And you asked me to think about it carefully. Now I've fulfilled your wish, and you're still angry."

"You still say."

"Haha."

"You want to be beaten. Don't run away."

"Not running is a stick."

Looking at the two people chasing in front, Huang Yi felt empty in her heart all of a sudden, as if she had become an outsider and was excluded, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Chen Mo suddenly stopped.

Dongfang Nishang, who was chasing from behind, was unable to brake and hit Chen Mo on the back.

Dongfang Nishang blushed, patted Chen Mo's shoulder, took a step back, and said angrily: "Why did you stop?"

Chen Mo turned around, the playfulness on his face subsided, and he asked seriously: "What level is Li Ling's soul in?"

The system can only scan a person's highest power.

It is impossible to fully scan the exact amount of the opponent's spiritual power.

How much power does the primordial spirit have?

For example, if a person practices dual cultivation of spirit and soul, the spiritual power will be stronger than the soul.

The system will then reflect the power value of spiritual power.

On the contrary, if the soul is stronger, the power value of the soul will be reflected.

However, for ordinary practitioners of both spiritual and divine powers, the power of the primordial spirit will be weaker than the spiritual power, or equal to, and not stronger than the spiritual power level, because this requires consideration of the physical body's endurance.

"He has a very good talent for cultivation." Even though she hated Li Ling, Dongfang Nishang had to admit that he had an excellent talent for cultivation. She said, "He is cultivating both the spirit and the soul, but his soul is slightly inferior to his spiritual power. He is at the perfect level of the Heavenly Origin Realm."

The perfection of the Tianyuan realm means the perfection of the three realms.

Hearing this, Chen Mo nodded.

"Do you have any idea to defeat him?" Dongfang Nishang's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Mo's expression.

People’s hearts are complicated.

She both hopes that Chen Mo will not participate in the competition, and yet she also hopes that Chen Mo will participate in the competition and defeat Li Ling.

"I'll try my best." Chen Mo didn't dare to make any boasts. After all, he had no experience fighting against someone in the Quasi-Spiritual Realm.

Because it was an open competition, news about the fighting arena spread throughout Yujing City in the two days before the competition.

That's strange too.

Obviously, Li Ling knew that Chen Mo was married, which meant that there should be many people in the imperial city who knew about this. However, the news of the fighting arena did not include the fact that Chen Mo was "married".

Chen Mo guessed that this was probably to save the royal family's face. As long as Emperor Xuan didn't say it on his own initiative, no one would dare to break this window paper.

The White Tiger Building, one of the four buildings, even started a gambling game on the outcome of the battle between Chen Mo and Li Ling.

Li Ling lost with a payout of 1 to 4.

If Chen Mo loses, he will lose two to one.

The reason why Li Ling's odds are not high is because Chen Mo has a record of challenging and killing Dugu Xin in the ancient ruins.

At that time, he was only in the early stage of the third realm. But now the news came out that Chen Mo was already in the late stage of the third realm, and he was also a spirit god, so there was hope of defeating Li Ling.

The reason why Chen Mo's odds are not high is that there are too many people who bet on Chen Mo and lost. If it is set too high, once Chen Mo loses, the dealer will not be able to afford the compensation.

Chen Mo borrowed some money from Dongfang Nishang and bet on Li Ling to lose.

Now that his cultivation resources have been used up, he has to find a way to make some money for himself.

Since someone has opened the market, I might as well take a gamble.

Dongfang Nishang gave Chen Mo six thousand Chunyang Pills, which were her only remaining resources for cultivation.

Although she is a princess, there are many members of the royal family, and the resources allocated to her are limited. She also used a lot of them when she broke through before.

That’s right, Dongfang Nishang was giving it to Chen Mo, not lending it so that he doesn’t have to pay it back.

Soon, the day of the competition arrived.

Around the fighting arena in the imperial palace, whispers could be heard from the densely packed crowd, and all the topics were related to today's competition.

Although there were many people, all of those watching the battle were of extraordinary status. They were all ministers in the court, their children, and members of the royal family.

"Prince Wu is here."

And just as the whispers were ringing in the air, a large group of people suddenly appeared, and then forcibly tore through the crowd and came to the position closest to the fighting arena.

"Why is the Third Prince hanging out with Prince Wu? If the Prince wins, he's the Thirteenth Princess's consort, so how could he possibly support the Third Prince?"

Everyone was whispering. In their opinion, with the strength of the Prince of Wu, he would definitely win the competition, and the Prince of Wu would then side with the Thirteenth Princess's camp. Now that the Third Prince and the Prince of Wu were hanging out together, wasn't this a superfluous move and a waste of time?
The third prince Dongfang Zhi ignored the whispers of the crowd.

He was not out of his mind, but was gambling that Li Ling would lose.

In this way, Li Ling lost, and Dongfang Zhi, who had always been by his side, had the greatest hope of winning over Li Ling.

Because he figured out one thing. Through his understanding of Chen Mo, he knew that if Li Ling won, he would not be able to win over Chen Mo.

Because outside the ancient ruins, Thirteen rescued Chen Mo.

No matter whether Chen Mo wins or loses, it is impossible for Chen Mo to go against Shisan.

But Li Ling is different.

Dongfang Zhi must find a way to win over one of the two forces, so why not seize the opportunity and win over Li Ling, the most promising one?
He knew that his camp was no match for the eldest and second princes.

So the eldest prince can wait and see and have the best of both worlds.

But he couldn't do that, so he could only put all his efforts into one bet.

He was the one who set up the gambling table at Baihu Tower.

Moreover, he bet all his fortune on the bet that Li Ling would lose.

put all one's eggs in one basket.

If he loses the bet, he will have to withdraw from the race for the crown prince early.

"Alas, this Wu Wang's son is so good, he has great talent and knows everything about her. How could the Thirteenth Princess choose a wild man?"

"You are too out of touch with the news. Chen Mo is not some wild man. He is the disciple of the fairy Huang Yi from the Chiyuan tribe. This time when he came to Daxuan, he was accompanied by the Chiyuan tribe's supreme elder. His status is extraordinary."

"Hiss, this background is much stronger than that of the Prince of Wu. If I were in your shoes, I would choose Chen Mo too."

"It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. The Thirteenth Princess's choice doesn't count. His Majesty said that the outcome of this competition will determine your Highness's fate."

"Princess Thirteen is here!"

Just as everyone was whispering, someone shouted, and immediately everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the fighting arena. They saw more than ten people slowly walking towards them. The three people in the lead, especially Huang Yi, made everyone's eyes pop out.

"Who is the girl on the left of Princess Thirteen? I've never seen her before. She's so beautiful."

"She is simply a fairy. Even the Thirteenth Princess is inferior to her."

"It seems to be the Fairy Huang Yi from the Chiyuan Clan."

"It is indeed Fairy Huang Yi. I had the honor of seeing her outside the ancient ruins last time. But I feel that Fairy Huang Yi is even more beautiful than last time."

"."

It was clearly a competition between Chen Mo and Li Ling, but Huang Yi stole the limelight.

“Fairy Huangyi is so charming. Look at their eyes, they seem to want to eat you up.” Lin Yifu of the Lin family stroked his not-so-long beard and said with a smile.

As the family of Dongfang Nishang's mother, he would naturally come to support Dongfang Nishang in such a big event as the martial arts arena.

Huang Yi's expression was quite calm. She was used to this kind of praise from childhood to adulthood.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived."

It was not until a deep voice came from a distance and echoed throughout the entire fighting arena that everyone's attention was shifted over.

Two majestic men and women dressed in luxurious clothes came over, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids.

At first glance, the pace of this group of people was very slow. In the blink of an eye, the ceremonial procession that was dozens of feet away landed on the high platform on the east side of the fighting arena.

There, the seats had already been prepared.

"I have met Your Majesty and the Queen!"

As Dongfang Hao and Yu Wenyun took their seats, everyone around the fighting stage bowed respectfully.

"No need to be so polite." Dongfang Hao raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone looked at the platform, and some wondered why there were three chairs when there were only His Majesty and the Queen.

But the next second, everyone understood.

Dongfang Hao looked at the void to one side and said with a loud smile: "Since you are here, come down and take a seat."

"Since it is the Emperor Xuan who has invited me, I am offended."

The moment the old voice sounded from the void, a crack appeared in the space next to the third seat on the platform. Feng Qi walked out of the crack with a smile on his face and sat down on the third seat.

This startled the fifth and sixth realm masters present, because they did not sense this person's aura at all.

Obviously, this person's strength is above theirs.

Their eyes turned to Feng Qi, and they whispered in their hearts: "It seems that this is Feng Qi, the supreme elder of the Chiyuan tribe. The rumors are true. Feng Qi really accompanied Chen Mo here?"

"Whoever said that the Chiyuan tribe treats Chen Mo as an outsider and does not take him seriously is talking nonsense."

Feng Qi's appearance made everyone look at Chen Mo with a higher regard.

Although someone had said before that Chen Mo came to Daxuan this time, he was accompanied by the supreme elder of the Chiyuan tribe.

But what you hear with your ears is different from what you see with your eyes.

As Feng Qi sat down, Dongfang Hao gave a look to a eunuch beside him.

The eunuch stepped forward and said loudly: "The time has come, please invite the two contestants to the stage." (End of this chapter)
