Nie Baishun had already taken the lead and stepped onto the stage, looking smug.In his eyes, although the competition hadn't started yet, he had already secured victory. The future position of the isl..."This isn't right, what kind of bet is this"

Before Lu Xue Man could speak, Ye Bufan stepped forward to object first. "Winning doesn't bring any real benefits, but losing means we'll be at your mercy. Your wager is simply unfair."

"So how do you propose we make this bet fair"

As they spoke, a barely perceptible smirk played at the corner of Fan Xiaofeng's mouth. He had spoken that way deliberately, to lure his opponent into a trap.

He was so confident of victory that he didn't care about the stakes at all. What mattered to him was whether or not the other party would agree to the wager.

As long as the other party agrees to the bet, then I win.

Ye Bufan didn't seem to notice his intentions at all, and Lu Xueman didn't stop him. She left everything to this man to handle.

"Since we're going to gamble, let's raise the stakes."

Ye Bufan said, "First, Wei Ping and I are equal. If I lose, I will obediently roll out of Cangfeng Academy. If Wei Ping loses, he will have to roll out as well."

"This can work."

Fan Xiaofeng readily agreed.

And Wei Ping, who stood beside him, didn't voice any dissent. He was always on Fan Xiaofeng's side and naturally wouldn't dare to question the boss's words.

"Count me in!"

Beside him, Dong Fangzhou suddenly jumped out. He had extraordinary confidence in facing the second-ranked Tianbang member. He pointed at Jiang Fangzhou next to him, "If Senior Fan loses to me, I'll withdraw from Cangfeng Academy. If he wins, I'll leave."

I agree.

Although Jiang Fangzhou cared deeply about a spot at Cangfeng Academy, he didn't hesitate at all at this moment. He readily and decisively agreed.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "Let's settle on that point. How about adding another ten billion gold coins to the bet"

His words caused a stir among the onlookers. Although most students who could enter Cangfeng Academy came from wealthy families, ten billion gold coins were definitely not a small sum of money.

To put up such a large sum of money as a wager is definitely high stakes gambling.

Fan Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow. "You can raise the stakes, but can you afford it"

After he finished speaking, all eyes turned to Lu Xuemian. In everyone's view, this third-ranked Tianbang was the ultimate decision-maker.

He's my man, so of course he can represent me.

Ye Bufan secretly gave Lu Xueman a thumbs up. This woman looked cold and aloof, putting on a good front outside. It was worth his hard work last night.

"If that's the case, then I have no problem."

Fan Xiaofeng was secretly delighted. In his eyes, this gamble was a sure win; the kid before him was practically handing him money.

He looked at Ye Bufan: "Is there anything else Just say it all together, so as to save trouble."

Ye Bufan said: "The last point, if you lose to my wife, from now on whenever you see me, you have to bow and call me Big Brother."

The crowd gasped in astonishment. Having the number two on the Heavenly Rankings call him Big Brother This guy was truly audacious.

Duan Wei said disdainfully, "You're a white-faced moocher who eats soft rice. Do you think you deserve to be called 'Big Brother' by our boss"

Just say whether or not you're going to gamble. If you're not, then forget it.

Ye Bufan was completely convinced of this. He naturally knew that the purpose of everything these people did was to keep him out of Cangfeng Academy.

Now, under Lu Xue Man's recommendation, one foot has already stepped into the academy. Naturally, she wouldn't give up this opportunity to obstruct me.

Indeed, a cold smile crept onto Fan Xiaofeng's lips: "Agreed. I accept this condition."

"Alright then, let's make a bet. Otherwise, I won't believe a word you say, you bunch of crooks."

Ye Bufan had already seen that these people were utterly untrustworthy. It was clear from their twisting of the facts just now.

Chu Lingxi said: "There's no need for that. Cang Feng Academy forbids students from fighting privately. Since it's a duel, we should go to the duel platform. The referee will act as an impartial judge, and no one can deny the result."

Ye Bufan didn't expect that Cang Feng Academy would have this kind of operation, which saved a lot of trouble.

Since both parties had reached an agreement, everyone walked together toward the battle platform not far away.

It is rumored that Fan Xiaofeng, the second ranked on the Heavenly List, is going to challenge Lu Xueman, the third ranked on the Heavenly List. This news instantly swept through the entire Cangfeng Academy. Students who heard the news rushed to the scene, filling the stands and surrounding the platform in an instant.

Changfeng Academy prohibits private duels among its students but encourages open and honest challenges. Therefore, many challenge platforms have been set up within the academy.

Of course, these platforms are also graded, and the teachers responsible for officiating have varying levels of cultivation.

As the top three on the Heavenly Rankings, Lu Xueman and Fan Xiaofeng's duel naturally took place on the highest level platform, with a judge at the peak of the Transcending God realm.

Both sides quickly agreed to the terms of the bet, and Dong Chao, Wei Ping, Jiang Fangzhou and others also signed their names on the agreement.

Ye Bufan and Fan Xiaofeng, even more so, took out storage rings containing ten billion gold coins and placed them on the referee's table.

Once the duel is over, the wager comes into effect immediately. Everyone must honor their bet as agreed, or they will be expelled from Cangfeng Academy right away.

After making a bet, Fan Xiaofeng laughed even brighter, and with a tap of his toes, he landed on the stage.

"Lu Xiaomei, come up here. Let me see how much you've progressed this year."

Lu Xueman said nothing, walking step by step towards the platform.

The stands on both sides of the stage were packed, and everyone's mood was extremely complex. On one hand, they didn't want their goddess to lose. On the other hand, they didn't want that annoying guy to stay at Cangfeng Academy.

Chu Lingxi frowned. Lu Xue Man went to face Fan Xiaofeng, who ranked second, for the man beside her. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

She turned her head to look at Ye Bufan: "Did you give Senior Sister Lu a love potion Otherwise, why would she be interested in someone like you"

"What do you mean What's wrong with me Am I not good enough"

Ye Bufan looked furious.

Chu Lingxi curled her lips: "An uninitiated disciple, a mere Nascent Soul early stage, dares to say they are superior in front of Lu Senior Sister"

"Well then, since we're being honest, Xuelan was actually conquered by my handsome appearance. She fell head over heels for me the moment she saw me, completely smitten."

Chu Lingxi certainly didn't believe him, and glared at him fiercely: "Just blow it!"

"There's no way, I wish I could keep a low profile, but my abilities won't allow it."

Ye Bufan thought to himself, he couldn't say that he was conquered physically first, and then established a relationship.

As they were speaking, the two top masters from the Heavenly Rankings had already taken their positions on the platform. The onlookers watching the battle were both excited and nervous.

"Who do you think will win this duel I think Senior Brother Fan has a greater chance of winning."

"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget that Lu Shujie is the first martial arts genius in our academy..."

"It's still more likely to be Senior Brother Fan. Don't forget that he was the second on the Heavenly Rankings before..."

Listening to the murmurs around him, Fan Xiaofeng's lips curled into a smirk.

"Lu Shimei, make your move!"

As he spoke, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from him. The overwhelming pressure instantly swept across the entire arena, causing the students surrounding the stage to involuntarily step back...."The Chi Yan Demon Ape was completely enraged. In its eyes, this human was openly provoking it, "Do you really think I'm a vegetarian!"It took a step forward, shaking the ground, and then its huge...
