Chapter 1048
A fierce person had recently appeared in the Imperial Capital .
His name was Wu Ziren, and his cultivation level was only at the medium extreme of the Mountain River Tier . However, he had a winning streak of 19 matches at the Iron Blood Stadium, and this stunned the entire Imperial Capital .
There was nothing special about someone winning a match at the Iron Blood Stadium . However, winning anything above three matches was insanely hard as the Iron Blood Stadium would send elites to battle anyone who reached a winning streak of three or more matches . They would do everything in their ability to end the competitors' streaks .
No one was exempt from this, not even Zhao Lun or Sha Yuan . Neither of them had received preferential treatment when they had battled at the Iron Blood Stadium .
Moreover, one was fully responsible for their own life and death once they entered the Iron Blood Stadium to battle . It was extremely normal for one to be severely wounded during battle, and it was even possible that one would be killed .
Someone ferocious enough to achieve a 10 match winning streak would only appear every one year or so, and someone brilliant enough to achieve a 15 match winning streak would only appear once every 100 or so years . Meanwhile, someone prodigious enough to achieve a 20 match winning streak would only appear every 1,000 or so years .
Thus, being able to reach a 19 match winning streak, Wu Ziren naturally caused a huge stir in the Imperial Capital .
Moreover, Wu Ziren suddenly surprised everyone by issuing a challenge to Ling Han and inviting him to battle at the Iron Blood Stadium . He wanted to use Ling Han as a stepping stone on his way to a 20 match winning streak .
The residents of the Imperial Capital were instantly filled with fervor and anticipation .
Ling Han had also shot to fame through a single battle, back when he had insta-killed Bai Yuansi and crushed Zhao Lun when battling at the same cultivation level . It had seemed as if he was going to surpass Zhao Lun and become the strongest cultivator of the younger generation .
Could Wu Ziren challenge Ling Han's lofty status?
The battle had yet to begin, yet bets were already being placed .
The gambling businesses had already released the odds for the two of them . As before, these odds weren't directly related to who would win or lose . Rather, these odds were related to who would win, and in how many exchanges . This was because an elite had claimed that Wu Ziren's strength was definitely no weaker than that of Ling Han . Thus, the odds for the various betting options were quite attractive .
For example, the payout for Ling Han being able to defeat Wu Ziren in 10 exchanges and Wu Ziren being able to defeat Ling Han in 10 exchanges were three and four, respectively . This rate was extremely high, yet it was still nowhere near the insane payout rate of 100 from before .
After all, Ling Han was no longer an unknown and untested youth . Meanwhile, Wu Ziren had also displayed his overwhelming strength . Neither of them could be considered a pushover .
The Iron Blood Stadium was very proactive, and they voluntarily came forward with an attractive proposition for Ling Han—they would pay him 20,000 True Origin Stones as long as he accepted the challenge . If he were to win, they would reward him with an additional 100,000 True Origin Stones .
Ling Han was swayed by this rich offer .
He made some calculations in his mind . Right now, he only refined one cauldron of Jade Heaven Pills every two days, with cauldron yielding 10 pills and each pill selling for approximately 2,000 True Origin Stones . In other words, he earned around 10,000 True Origin Stones per day . If he accepted the challenge, just his appearance fee alone would be double what he earned per day . Moreover, there was even a chance for him to win an additional 100,000 True Origin Stones .
'I'll fight!'
Although it looked like he was robbing money by selling extremely expensive pills every day, he still needed to pay rent for his store, no? This was the Imperial Capital, after all, and each inch of land was worth its weight in gold! In addition, he had opened this store with Shui Yanyu, so he naturally needed to share the profits with her as well . The main reason for this was to show the Shui Clan his capability .
Furthermore, he still needed to learn the last pill recipe, the Level Four Divine Pill—the Mysterious Azure Pill . This would require a huge amount of wealth, and if he didn't have a significant income each day, this would merely be an intangible dream .
From this, one could imagine how very expensive it was to raise an alchemist .
However, he was unfamiliar with Wu Ziren, and didn't know how strong Wu Ziren was, either . As such, he didn't know how many exchanges it would take for him to defeat Wu Ziren . With this in mind, he didn't place any bets .
