Chapter 601: A Sure-To-Lose Bet?

Chapter 601: A Sure-To-Lose Bet?

The term “lion” naturally refers to the Asura Clan, while “mouse” refers to the human race.

The meaning behind Heaven Killing Asura’s words was quite simple: they despise associating with the human race.

In their eyes, while there may be high-level fighters among the human race, the majority are nothing more than cunning schemers.

“Since you all look down on the human race, why not make a bet?” Suddenly, the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower spoke, his expression calm and unruffled.

The Asura clan’s laughter abruptly ceased. The previous agreement that had ensnared them still weighed heavily on them; why should they fall for it again?

Bimala immediately warned, “Your Majesty, we must not fall into a trap.”

Heavenly Killing Asura narrowed his eyes.

At that moment, the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower extended three fingers. “The human race will send three individuals, one each from the second, third, and fourth tier realms.”

“They will choose opponents from their own realm to fight against them. If the human race loses even one of these three battles, the alliance is over and the previous agreement is null and void.”

At this, not only were the Asura Clan astonished, but even Deng Mo couldn’t hide his disbelief.

The Divine Guardian, standing tall and aloof, glanced to the side, unable to fathom what this cunning old man was up to.

Why did the Asura clan have such a fearsome reputation? Every member was born a powerful warrior!

And that strength only grew with time, constantly surpassing the understanding of ordinary humans.

It was no exaggeration to say that among those of equal realm, there were very few who could defeat the Asura Clan.

Even the mighty Azure Dragon Lineage with its powerful bloodline did not dare to make such claims, let alone the disparate human race.

If it were just a matter of the greatest fighting power, or even a best-of-three scenario, the human race might have a chance.

But to win three battles out of three, with one of them at the fourth level...

No matter how you looked at it, it was a sure loser!

You must know that the Asura Clan, along the way, has defeated the Eastern Domain Commander and three divine generals, which shows their strength.

And for the human lineage that has not entered the realm of the third class, facing the Asura Clan, there is almost no chance of victory!

“National Teacher.” Deng Mo hesitated to speak.

Upon hearing this, Heaven Killing Asura suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh, then swung his fist towards the distant Divine Guardian.

The space shattered like a mirror, inch by inch.

With the power reaching the realm of transcendence, the laws of Heaven and Earth were already hard to bear. It seemed as if a casual blow could cause space to collapse!

But the white-haired, black-bearded Divine Guardian didn’t dodge or evade. The shattered space made it impossible for him to take another step within a metre’s distance.

Crack!

This wager requires three consecutive victories for the human race to be considered a winner. It’s as difficult as climbing the heavens!

As these words were spoken, sighs filled the air, one after another.

...

Emperor Ming was also extremely puzzled when he heard this news. He could understand that the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower wanted to settle things once and for all, hence the desire to form an alliance with the Asura Clan.

But isn’t such a wager a bit childish?

In the Imperial Study, the gloom on Emperor Ming’s face was obvious to all.

Eunuch Li said cautiously, “Perhaps the National Teacher has his own thoughts. The Asura Clan was previously manipulated and bound by an agreement with Lord Deng, which kept them in the Eastern Domain for so many years.”

“If it weren’t for this kind of bet, the Asura Clan might not agree.”

“I am well aware of this, but to win three battles out of three? The difficulty is immense, is it not?”

“Not to mention the second and third stage battles, let alone the fourth stage battles. Who could bear such a huge responsibility?”

“Well...” Eunuch Li naturally couldn’t give an answer.

As one of Emperor Ming’s assistants, he naturally knew much more than others. Below the third rank, the Asura Clan was almost invincible.

Even if it were Thirty-Six stars, it was still very bad.

In fact, he was quite puzzled. What was the significance of the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower making such a sure-to-loose bet?

The atmosphere in the study fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Emperor Ming wrinkled his forehead and asked, “Regarding the selection of candidates, what does the National Teacher have to say?”

Eunuch Li respectfully replied, “The National Teacher has only told this humble servant that everything has been arranged.”

......

On the other side, the Qin family mansion had naturally been unsealed.

Qin Feng and the others had returned home, but the Second Mother and the servants still felt a bit scared, as if everything before had been a dream.

As for the matter of the wager, Qin Feng was also worried. Who should be chosen for the second, third and fourth stage battles to ensure victory?

A flawless victory hardly seemed realistic.

Just as he was deep in thought, Father Qin and the two women suddenly felt something and both looked in a certain direction.

“What’s going on?” Qin Feng asked curiously before following their gaze.

There, they saw the ethereal figure of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher, dressed in white robes with white hair, descending and landing in the courtyard.
