I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 25: Defending the Ring (asking for monthly tickets)

Jiang Yi took out fifty low-grade spirit stones and placed them on the counter, too lazy to explain too much.

"Excuse me, senior brother!"

This attitude meant that she insisted on opening the registration, so Luo Jun had no choice but to put down what he was doing and help her register.

The so-called defending the ring and betting on fighting is a way for the martial arts field to encourage the disciples to participate more in the ring fighting and develop their own potential.

Anyone who feels they are strong enough can start a fight.

The rules are also very simple. For example, Jiang Yi is now betting fifty low-grade spirit stones, and after registering, he can go to defend the arena.

Anyone who wishes to challenge must bring out fifty low-grade spirit stones, or items of equivalent value, to participate.

The challenger wins, takes all the prizes, and the fight is over.

Jiang Yi wins, the prize money accumulates into the prize pool, and the gambling continues.

The next challenger only needs to pay fifty low-grade spirit stones or items of equivalent value to go on stage to challenge and win all the prizes in the prize pool. The same will apply to the next challengers without any additional bets.

Jiang Yi must win five or more games in a row before he has the right to stop the gambling and take away all the prizes in the jackpot.

For every ten consecutive wins, the sect contribution points will be increased by 100, with no upper limit.

On the day she first joined the sect, Jiang Yi and Shen Puning came to the martial arts training ground once. When she saw the rules of the competition, she decided to come to compete at the end of the month.

"I'll ask again, are you sure you want to start a defensive fight? Once it starts, all the disciples on the Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron rankings, regardless of their level, can enter the arena to challenge. I've been in the martial arts arena for over a decade, and I've never seen a disciple in the middle stage of Qi training dare to start a defensive fight."

Jiang Yi's smile remained unchanged. "That's because you, Senior Brother, didn't meet me. If I could defend the ring for forty times, wouldn't I be able to enter the gold list?"

"Haha~ You're young, but you're talking big. Look at the gold list, there's no one in the middle stage of Qi training. Having ambition is a good thing, but if your ambition is too high, it becomes a daydream!"

"What if I make it onto the gold list? Brother, do you dare to bet with me?"

Luo Jun slapped a piece of yellow paper covered in runes and stamped with a large seal on the counter. "It's your ability to get in. Leave your identity token as a deposit. Take this talisman to the center of the martial arts arena, infuse it with spiritual power, and the ring defense and gambling will officially begin!"

Jiang Yi curled his lips, took the talisman paper and went out.

"Still trying to provoke me? I've been in charge here and I've seen all sorts of people. If you're so impulsive, you'll plunder all our wealth."

squeak!
The gray-haired mouse grinding ink nearby nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yi took the yellow talisman and walked to the center of the martial arts field. He injected spiritual energy into the talisman paper, and the runes were activated, turning into streams of light and pouring into the bluestone bricks under his feet.

Rumble!
The ground shook and the surrounding bluestone bricks rose up, forming a square arena in an instant.

The talisman light slowly spread out, and four stone pillars supported the four corners, forming a protective barrier.

There was another stone platform rising from the front of the arena, with fifty low-grade spirit stones neatly stacked on it.

A gray-haired mouse, holding a miniature spear and wearing golden armor, stood upright and majestically guarding the spirit stone with its eyes fixed straight ahead.

clang--

clang--

clang--

The bronze bell rang, startling the birds in Lingbo Mountain and taking flight. The monks from all over stopped what they were doing and looked towards the direction of the martial arts field.

The sound of the bell informed the monks in the mountains that someone had started a gambling fight.

Welcome to the battle!

……

At the foot of Lingbo Mountain, Deacon Hall.

Chisongzi held a whisk in his hand and respectfully sent out a young man in white clothes with black hair, golden eyes, and clouds and mist all around him, who had an immortal aura.

"Demon Master Xuanhui, please don't embarrass me. I've been ordered to persuade Liu Taozhi many times, but each time I've returned empty-handed. We can't force her to leave. After all, the Xuanying Sword Sect is helping our major sects guard the shores of the North Sea." "Instead of forcing me to send her away, why not help her repair the Yaoling Sword and fulfill her wish? Isn't that just a matter of breathing a few puffs of Golden Crow Fire for you?"

The young man in white had a pair of golden eyes filled with fear as he silently hugged himself. "It's not that I don't want to help, but my Master doesn't agree. I'm scared and I don't dare. She's been waiting for me at the foot of the mountain every day. If it weren't for her poor eyesight and naiveté, I wouldn't be able to get out today!"

Ugh!
Chisongzi and Xuanhui looked at each other and sighed in unison.

clang--

The melodious and loud sound of the bronze bell echoed in the mountains. Chisongzi and Xuanhui looked towards the direction of the martial arts field.

Chisongzi stroked his beard and asked, "Who is this person who actually started a gambling fight?"

Xuan Hui's eyes lit up. "Interesting! It's been a long time since I've seen the younger members of the sect fighting each other. Come on, let's go and take a look."

Xuan Hui pulled Chi Songzi away, and Chi Songzi had no choice but to follow. The fights in the Qi training period were just a fight between weaklings. Xuan Hui, a demon master who was a transformed storm demon at the peak of the Golden Core stage, was actually interested in this. It seemed that he had been blocked in the mountains by Liu Taozhi for too long and was too bored.

Xuanhui brought Chisongzi and flashed to the sky above the martial arts field. His lower body turned into mist, carrying Chisongzi and floating in the air, hiding himself.

When the disciples in Lingbo Mountain heard the sound of the bronze bell, they all hurried over, and more and more people gathered in the martial arts field.

The two girls in the late stage of Qi training stood below Chisongzi and Xuanhui, and had no idea that there was a Jindan demon master and a foundation-building uncle hiding above their heads.

"Senior Sister Li, do you know anyone on the stage?"

Li Qingxian crossed her arms, her expression cold and arrogant. "That's Jiang Yi from my courtyard. He's a lazy idiot. He's only at the sixth level of Qi training, yet he dares to start a fight. He doesn't know how to live or die."

"What's the name of that little girl on the stage?"

Hearing the conversation between the two people under his feet, Xuanhui's ears moved and he asked Chisongzi through voice transmission.

Chisongzi smiled. This reaction was the same as his original one. "Her name is Jiang Yi, Jiang for river and Yi for Ruyi."

Xuan Hui was stunned for a moment, narrowing his eyes as he carefully examined the girl on the stage. "Huh? You know what, this girl does look a bit like Jiang Yi, but... Jiang Yi isn't as lazy or frail as her."

On the ring, Jiang Yi took out a straw mat and threw it on the side of the ring. He sat cross-legged, resting his elbows on his knees and yawning, waiting for the first challenger to come on stage.

Xuan Hui continued, "Jiang Yi is a little crazy girl who's incredibly hardworking and diligent! She also has a terrible temper, just like my Master, who explodes at the slightest provocation! If I hadn't been sure that my Master was still single, I would have suspected that Jiang Yi was my Master's biological daughter. What a pity! She's such a good girl! Sigh!"

Seeing that no one came up for a long time, Jiang Yi took out the leftover sesame cakes and "The Fundamentals of Alchemy" from lunch, and ate while reading, ignoring the growing crowd of onlookers and whispers around him, feeling extremely relaxed.

"Who is she? She's only at the sixth level of Qi training, so she dares to defend the ring. Does she have any hidden cards?"

"There's no guarantee. Perhaps her demon spirit has excellent aptitude and has reached the peak of Qi training, mastering some rare spells. We should wait and see, and not be impulsive."

"Brother Zhao Qian, you're already on the gold list, why don't you go up and help the brothers?"

"Haha, if you want to go, go ahead. I won't take the initiative. It's only fifty spirit stones. It's boring."

Jiang Yi listened attentively and found that these Qi-cultivating monks were quite cautious.

In desperation, Jiang Yi released Hua Gu early.

She really has no trump card, just one person, one demon and one sword.

"Is her demon spirit a mist demon?"

"Seventh level of Qi training? Impossible?"

"Why does this Storm Monster look like it has congenital deficiencies? Its body is much smaller than a normal Storm Monster at the seventh level of Qi training."

There was an uproar, and everyone around the ring stared at Hua Gu.

Caught off guard by so many people surrounding her, Hua Gu trembled all over and twisted left and right instinctively looking for a place to hide. Finding that there was no shelter on the ring, she rushed into Jiang Yi's arms and pulled up Jiang Yi's clothes to wrap herself tightly.

()Fear!
"Hmm? It's actually a Storm Demon. Interesting!"

In mid-air, Xuan Hui stared at Hua Gu with a pair of golden eyes, and became more and more surprised the more he looked.
