Douluo Dragon King: Nine-Colored Lotus, Incinerating All Things

"Sect Master Mu, are you interested in taking a gamble?"

"Bet? What to bet?"

Makino's heart stirred slightly.

Chen Xinjie and Dai Tianling also perked up their ears.

"Let's bet on whether my disciple or I win."

Grace smiled broadly.

The fish has taken the bait.

"Oh? What do you have as leverage? And what do you want?"

Makino remained unmoved.

"If your disciple wins, he may choose any one of the secret techniques of my Monster Academy to learn."

"If my disciple wins, how about you pass on your Body Sect's secret techniques to my disciple?"

"I can guarantee that only Long Yue himself will know and practice this, and it will never be passed on to anyone else."

Grace's eyes sparkled.

The Mountain Dragon King's martial spirit was too powerful, putting too much pressure on Long Yue.

He dared not imagine how powerful Long Yue's body would become if he mastered the secret techniques of the Body Sect.

There are even rumors that the Body Sect's secret techniques can allow a martial soul to awaken a second time.

If the Mountain Dragon King were to awaken a second time, what terrifying level would he reach?

At that time, we didn't ask for much; as long as we could make up for the "emotional deficiencies" that Longyue is facing now, it would be perfect enough.

Dai Tianling understood Enci's thoughts, and his eyes flickered.

Chen Xinjie glanced at Enci with a half-smile.

He thought to himself: As expected of a small place, with little ability, yet wanting a lot.

Makino was so angry he laughed.

"You are a demigod-level expert, and your mental strength is at the high-level Spirit Domain realm, but your mind doesn't seem to be working very well."

Enci and Dai Tianling's expressions froze.

Dai Tianling was somewhat annoyed.

Enci knew she had gone too far with her proposal, but aren't conditions meant to be negotiated?

He cursed Makino under his breath for being rude.

But his expression remained warm, and he said:

"I don't think this is something that can't be discussed."

"After all, as far as I know, the head of our Star Luo Empire's Tang Sect branch, the Smiling Douluo Hu Jie, was originally from the Body Sect, right?"

"Could it be that this person has not learned the secret techniques of the Body Sect?"

Chen Xinjie was taken aback and glanced at Mu Ye.

Makino's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

The four-character battle armor within his body was showing signs of burgeoning power.

"If you insist on picking a fight, I, the sect master, am not afraid to fight you!"

"Let's see whether I fall first, or your Star Luo Empire loses a pillar of the nation."

Both Enci and Dai Tianling were startled.

They exchanged a glance, realizing they had gone too far this time.

Dai Tianling quickly tried to comfort him.

"Sect Master Mu reacted."

"The Imperial Advisor merely suggested that a little gambling is harmless, and it's fine not to gamble at all."

Makino gave a cold laugh and remained silent.

At this time.

A beam of light rang out, its voice clearly indicating a smiling face:

"Oh, I'm just an observer, what business is it of mine?"

Four pairs of eyes turned to them.

It was none other than Hu Jie, the Smiling Douluo who blended in with the crowd and remained hidden from view, who spoke up.

Makino's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

"Your Majesty the Smiling One has also come. Would you please take a seat?"

Dai Tianling immediately spoke up.

Hu Jie said with a smile:

"There's no need for the seat of honor. I, Hu, don't like to show off. Just take a look around."

Then his gaze fell on Makino.

"Ono, you've come all the way to Xingluo, yet you didn't even come to see me. Do you really hate me that much?"

Everyone reacted differently upon hearing this.

Makino gave a cold laugh.

"Who are you? Do we know each other?"

The Smiling Douluo sighed softly, and just as he was about to say something more, he heard the host announce, "The competition begins."

The words stopped, and everyone's eyes fell on the competition field.

But Makino suddenly spoke up at this moment:

“Grace, I’ll bet with you.”

Enci was taken aback, then overjoyed, and quickly confirmed:

"Sure?"

Chen Xinjie frowned.

Hu Jie cursed:

"Are you crazy?"

Makino gave a cold laugh and stared at Hu Jie, saying:

"If my disciple loses, I will pass on the secret techniques of the Body Sect to your disciple."

"If my disciple wins, you kill him!"

The gazes of the four powerful figures suddenly froze.

The Smiling Douluo stopped smiling.

Enci and Dai Tianling's secret joy vanished abruptly, and their expressions turned serious.

It turned into helplessness.

Grace said:

"Sect Master Mu, please don't joke."

"The Tang Sect is one of the most important partners of our Star Luo Empire."

"Xingluo will not abandon Tangmen, much less turn against Tangmen."

"My previous suggestion was indeed ill-considered, and I apologize to Sect Master Mu. Please do not take offense."

"And please don't make jokes like that again."

Dai Tianling also gave Hu Jie a reassuring look, indicating that she would never allow such a thing to happen.

Chen Xinjie's expression was playful.

Hu Jie was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"It seems I underestimated your hatred for me."

But Makino ignored him completely and muttered a curse under her breath:

"Coward."

Click!

Enci clenched his fists immediately, and his eyes narrowed.

Dai Tianling's expression also changed. No matter from any perspective, he could not allow his teacher, the Imperial Preceptor, to be insulted in this way.

His voice was icy.

"Since you're so eager to gamble..."

"Then I will take your bet."

"But as I said before, my Star Luo Empire will never betray the friendship between us and the Tang Sect."

"So, how about we change the stakes?"

"If Long Yue loses, my Star Luo Empire can offer a divine artifact as a wager."

"If your disciple Lin Jin loses, you must teach Long Yue the core secret technique of your Body Sect and help Long Yue's martial soul complete its second awakening."

"how?"

Chen Xinjie's gaze froze upon hearing this.

Betting on a divine artifact!

Play so big?

Even he couldn't easily set up such a gamble.
