Time flowed by, from the inner sect examination until now, one month had passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yan reaped great rewards from this one month, not only had he mastered the Azure Essence Sword Art and the Azure Cloud Step, his cultivation had also reached the sixth level of the Innate Stage. As for the upcoming competition, Zhang Yan was full of confidence.

The Fatty said to Zhang Yan: "This competition has received a lot of attention. Even the Elder will be here to watch the competition."

"Great Elder's grandson?" No wonder he was so arrogant in the Outer Sect, no wonder the Great Elder on the day of the examination treated him so coldly. It turned out that the reason was because he had stolen the limelight from Great Elder's grandson, it would be strange if he was happy.

"Furthermore, you didn't know, Great Elder intentionally found someone to spread the news of the fight between you two, and now, no one in Azure Essence Sect doesn't know about it. Not only that, it is said that someone even set up a gambling house to bet on you and Long Yu."

"Oh? There's still someone who wants to set up a gambling house? " Zhang Yan asked with interest: "Then, what are my odds? Is it lower than Long Yu's? "

Fatty shook his head when he heard this, "You get 1: 10, Long Yu gets 2: 1."

"What?" I can't believe that my payout is so high, "Zhang Yan said in disbelief, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was true, after all Long Yu is the grandson of the Great Elder, regardless of background or resources, he is stronger than his grass root by a lot. However, Zhang Yan still laughed coldly, and said resolutely:" Looks like everyone thinks that I will definitely lose, but I'm afraid that I will have to disappoint you, I have won this competition for sure. "

Zhang Yan patted Fatty on the shoulder, "I think you are a smart person who knows how to do business, you must have already placed your bet?"

Fatty smiled and nodded: "That's true, how can I let go of such a good opportunity to earn money? I sold all of my wealth in exchange for your bet with all of my Spirit Stone. There's a total of a thousand low-ranked Spirit Stone, boss, you must win. "

"A thousand low-ranked Spirit Stone?" Zhang Yan did not expect the Fatty to be so rich that even a thousand low-ranked Spirit Stone could buy one for Cloud Spirit Grass to cultivate. Thinking of this, Zhang Yan asked: "You aren't selling your Cloud Spirit Grass right?"

Fatty nodded his head and said: "Indeed, I used five of the ten Cloud Spirit Grass s that were rewarded by me, leaving the other five. In order to be a bit more conservative, I only sold one Cloud Spirit Grass, after all, I still need to cultivate."

Hearing that, Zhang Yan's eyes turned, and he patted Fatty's shoulder, "Believe me, you can bet all of the remaining four Cloud Spirit Grass stalks in, I will definitely win this competition."

Hearing that, Fatty immediately left, and before long, he ran back with a smile, "I've already invested all my money into this, this time I'll have to rely on you."

Zhang Yan laughed and said: "Don't worry, I don't have any money on me, if not I will bet everything on myself too."

On one side was a group of Elder s led by Great Elder. Most of these people were invited by the Great Elder, and some of the Elder s came to cheer for the competition because they had heard of their name, but they wanted to see how strong Zhang Yan, who had passed the eighth floor, was. On the other side, there were some more famous inner sect disciples who were standing at the front.

As for the disciples with insufficient statuses and statuses, they could only watch the competition from the surroundings.

When everyone was there, Long Yu jumped up onto the stage and shouted to Zhang Yan who was standing below the stage: "Zhang Yan, since you're here, quickly come up and compete, I do not want to waste my time on you."

Zhang Yan heard and laughed, and with a leap, he unleashed his Azure Cloud Step. His entire body became as light as a swallow, flying straight up to the fighting stage, he landed gently on it and laughed: "I do not wish to waste time on you, since you are currently not my opponent."

Zhang Yan's actions caused everyone's eyes to light up. All of the Elder in the viewing gallery recognized Zhang Yan's movement technique, "The movement technique this kid used just now was Azure Cloud Step? He's only a disciple who has just entered the inner sect for a month, how could he have cultivated to this realm? "

"That's right, look at his movements just now. His Azure Cloud Step has already reached perfection."

"I never thought that this Zhang Yan brat's perception is so good."

Great Elder frowned, he was a little worried. Looking at this guy's movement technique, the Azure Cloud Step was indeed at the initial stage. If this happened, it would be difficult for Long Yu to deal with him.

Moreover, under his own personal guidance for the past month, Long Yu's Great Strength Vajra Palm had long since been fully mastered. With the large success of the Great Strength Vajra Palm, the might of a palm was not something an ordinary martial artist could withstand. A palm strike with a thousand kilograms of boulders could turn them into powder, let alone an inner disciple with the fifth stage of the Innate Stage.

Great Elder snorted and said: "Although this guy has some strength, he is still far from being able to compare with Long Yu."

After all, Long Yu was personally taught to him by you, so his strength must be much stronger than this Zhang Yan. There's simply no way to compare the two of them. "

However, one of the Elder s did not say anything. Only when all the other Elder s had finished speaking did he clear his throat and say: "I don't think so. I think this Zhang Yan is a little interesting, and might actually be able to beat Long Yu. After all, he is the only disciple in our Azure Essence Sect who has passed the eighth floor.

"What Elder Qin said makes sense. This Zhang Yan must be very talented," The Elder s at the side all nodded their heads in praise.

Great Elder frowned. This Elder Qin was always against him, and now he wanted to refute him, he could not help but say angrily: "Does this mean that you think very highly of this Zhang Yan?"

Elder Qin stroked his beard and said with a face full of smiles: "If you can't bear to watch, then don't say it for now. After all, our Azure Essence Sect still has a lot of talented disciples.

"Of course, this is not directed at you. I only relied on my judgement of this Zhang Yan, and I feel that brat is not simple," Elder Qin said as he hurriedly explained with a smile when he saw Great Elder's unsightly expression.

After Great Elder heard this, he laughed out loud: "Alright, since you think so highly of Zhang Yan, how about we make a bet? "Who's going to win today?"

"I wonder what the stakes are?" Elder Qin asked with a smile.

The Great Elder seemed to have already planned this beforehand as he laughed and said: "Elder Qin's pills are the best. If Long Yu wins, you personally help me refine a pill.

"What if Zhang Yan wins?"

"If Zhang Yan wins, I have a Ten Thousand Years Blood Ginseng here as a wager for you."

"Ten Thousand Years Blood Ginseng?" Elder Qin was very interested in hearing this. To an alchemist, there was nothing more attractive than a Spirit Medicine, and Ten Thousand Years Blood Ginseng was extremely rare. No matter if it was refining pills or using it directly, it was a great tonic for warriors and was extremely valuable.

Elder Qin was extremely moved, but in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he asked again, "Are you sure you want to use the Ten Thousand Years Blood Ginseng as the wager? "You are willing?"

"Of course, all the Elder s are witnesses. Do you think I would go back on my words?" The Great Elder said with a smile.

Elder Qin smiled and said: "Since that's the case, then I'll agree."

As the number one Alchemist in the Azure Essence Sect, if he wanted to get Long Yu to agree to the bet, it would cost him a lot of money. This made Great Elder extremely happy, in his opinion, it was impossible for Long Yu to lose, and he did not need to spend anything to get him to leave the mountain.

The Great Elder was afraid that Elder Qin would go back on his words, so he immediately waved his hand to signal to the judge on the stage: "Alright, let's begin the competition."

Long Yu said haughtily: "Last time, it was your luck that allowed you to draw with me, but this time, I will not be lenient, I will let everyone know, that I, Long Yu, am much stronger than you, Zhang Yan."

"Is that so?" Zhang Yan said in disdain: "Last time, if you didn't cultivate your martial arts ahead of time by virtue of being the grandson of the Great Elder, do you think you would be my match?"

"This time, I've also obtained a martial skill. You are no longer my opponent."

Long Yu became angry from the embarrassment: "Brat, you dare to look down on me? "I will make you pay the price," As he said that, the Spirit Energy around him fluctuated crazily, and in an instant, his aura reached its peak. With the full force of the Spirit Energy, he struck towards Zhang Yan's chest.
