Master: This Villainous Disciple Is Not The Holy Child

The flying boat hovered in the air above the platform.

Chu Xiu looked down from above.

He controlled the flying boat’s descent.

It landed in the Core Disciple section.

He couldn’t yet traverse the air like Tao Yao and the others.

Only after breaking through to the Divine Bridge Realm, when a cultivator’s Yuan Qi transformed into True Yuan Force, could they fly freely. Until then, they could only travel using flying tools like flying boats. That was why he arrived a bit late.

“Senior Brother~”

Tao Yao stepped forward, her delicate body bowing slightly.

Both Jian Lingyun and Xu Tianzhen were surprised by this.

Who was Tao Yao?

A powerful cultivator at the late Divine Ability Realm.

Throughout the entire Taisu Holy Land, she was considered a rare prodigy, only a step away from the level of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.

She was known for her strong and eccentric personality.

Why would such a person show such respect to a good-for-nothing like Chu Xiu?

Yes, it was respect.

The look in her eyes couldn’t be faked.

Chu Xiu reached out and patted her head, a gentle smile on his face. “Little Junior Sister, you came too.”

A blush crept onto Tao Yao’s pretty face as she lowered her head. “Senior Brother, don’t worry. With Junior Sister here, no one can harm a hair on your head.”

“Twenty days ago, Junior Sister was in seclusion, which led to Senior Brother’s injury. Junior Sister feels uneasy…”

“It’s alright, it wasn’t your fault.”

Chu Xiu nodded, then glanced at Xu Tianzhen, who was ten meters away.

So this is the goddess that the original ‘me’ had a crush on?

Her looks are decent, her cultivation is so-so.

A strange glint flickered in Xu Tianzhen’s eyes.

A woman’s intuition told her that Chu Xiu’s gaze was different from before.

The previous fanaticism had been replaced by a calm indifference.

What did he experience in the past twenty days?

“Senior Brother~” Zhang Meng looked at Jian Lingyun and transmitted his voice. “Tao Yao is here. Should I still go for the kill later?”

“It’s a life-or-death arena. What’s wrong with going for the kill?”

Jian Lingyun sneered. “Does she, Tao Yao, really think she can control everything?”

“This is Tianxing Peak. No matter how strong she is, she can’t cause any trouble here.”

“Don’t worry. If she dares to interfere, a Minor Saint expert will naturally suppress her.”

“Alright, Senior Brother~” Zhang Meng sneered. “I’ll give him a proper welcome.”

“Chu Xiu, since you’re here, let’s go to the life-or-death arena!”

“After I deal with you, I still need to go back to closed-door cultivation.”

Chu Xiu acted as if he hadn’t heard, but didn’t answer. He turned his head, looked around, and smiled faintly. “Fellow Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.”

“We’ve all gathered here to watch this martial competition. How can we not have some excitement?”

“I have a bottle of Seventh-rank Heavenly Profound Pills here, a total of six pills, all of the highest quality.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a suet white jade bottle appeared in his hand.

He opened the stopper, and a multicolored halo lingered around the bottle’s mouth, its fragrance spreading for miles.

In an instant, the eyes of the surrounding disciples turned red.

Gulp, gulp—the sounds of swallowing saliva echoed around.

Even some of the elders couldn’t help but reveal expressions of greed.

Those were Seventh-rank Heavenly Profound Pills!

For cultivators at the Divine Ability Realm, they were practically divine pills. Consuming them could not only increase the speed of comprehending Divine Abilities, but the highest quality Heavenly Profound Pills also had a decent chance of helping those at the peak of the Divine Ability Realm break through to the Minor Saint Realm.

Don’t think that Minor Saints are common.

Minor Saint experts could be Peak Elders in the Holy Land. If they joined a weaker sect, they could even become Vice Sect Masters.

If they joined a dynasty, they would be revered as National Advisors, and the entire nation would celebrate.

[Holy crap, Host, you’re so damn cunning! Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, tricking them into giving you resources. System reward: 300 breakthrough points]

“How do you want to bet?” Jian Lingyun’s eyes stared intently at the jade bottle in Chu Xiu’s hand.

He could confirm that those were definitely Heavenly Profound Pills.

His master, Liu Xue, had once rewarded his Senior Brother with a Heavenly Profound Pill. He would never forget that fragrance.

Having just broken through to the Divine Ability Realm, Jian Lingyun desperately needed this pill. It was as if Chu Xiu had delivered a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep.

“Senior Brother…” Tao Yao started to speak but hesitated.

Is Senior Brother really playing this big? Isn’t he afraid of Master’s punishment?

Chu Xiu shook his head at her and looked at Jian Lingyun, speaking loudly enough for everyone present to hear. “Perhaps everyone doesn’t understand the value of six Seventh-rank, highest quality Heavenly Profound Pills.”

“Elder of Tianxing Peak, are you aware?”

“Ah~”

The Tianxing Peak elder, who was acting as the referee, snapped out of his daze and quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

He said formally, “These pills are priceless. If auctioned, each one would fetch at least 1 million high-grade yuan stones.”

“Six pills would be 6 million high-grade yuan stones.”

“Hiss~”

Gasps of astonishment filled the air.

Six million yuan stones!

It was an astronomical figure for everyone present.

An amount they absolutely couldn’t afford.

Jian Lingyun frowned.

He couldn’t come up with a matching bet either.

“Hehe~” Chu Xiu chuckled. “If one person can’t afford it, everyone can chip in!”

“We can just divide the spoils according to the proportion of the investment, wouldn’t that work?”

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yeah, we can pool our resources!

However, some quickly caught on.

They looked at Chu Xiu, who had a smile on his lips, with suspicion.

They felt that something wasn’t right.

Tao Yao blinked her watery peach blossom eyes and suddenly smiled.

Jian Lingyun wasn’t a fool either. Chu Xiu’s attitude was like someone digging a pit and waiting for others to jump in.

He circulated his True Yuan and used his divine sense to probe Chu Xiu’s cultivation realm.

He immediately relaxed.

Sea of Qi Fourth Layer.

Sensing countless probing divine senses converging on him, Chu Xiu sneered inwardly, his expression unchanged.

“I’ll bet!”

“I’m in.”

“I bet Senior Brother Chu Xiu will lose…”

“I also bet Senior Brother Chu Xiu will lose…”

The crowd surged forward.

They took out treasures from their storage bags and placed their bets.

The Tianxing Peak elders acting as referees began to assess the value of the items.

An hour later, the assessment was complete.

Six million high-grade yuan stones worth of bets were collected, forming a small mountain.

Chu Xiu also placed the Heavenly Profound Pills among the bets.

“I hereby declare the bet established, with Tianxing Peak as the witness. No one can renege…”

Almost everyone present, except for Tao Yao, Xu Tianzhen, and the Tianxing Peak elders acting as referees, had placed a bet. And they all bet on Chu Xiu losing, including the “Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters” of Yunxia Peak.

Such loving Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters I have!

Chu Xiu nodded, the corners of his lips curling slightly.

With a flash of his figure, he leaped down from the Core Disciple section, a thousand meters high. BOOM! He landed on the several-thousand-meter-wide, square stone arena, his robes billowing, creating sonic booms.

“Hehe, Chu the Trash, you finally decided to show up.”

Zhang Meng laughed cruelly as he also leaped onto the arena.

He had already investigated Chu Xiu’s cultivation—he had indeed recovered, but he was only at the Sea of Qi Fourth Layer, even weaker than twenty days ago.

Zhang Meng himself was at the peak of the Sea of Qi Ninth Layer.

Ninth Layer peak versus Fourth Layer—it was no different than crushing an ant.

He was incredibly confident.

Chu Xiu, on the other hand, held the bone-white hilt of the Bloodcry Sword, his face solemn.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Meng grew even more confident.

The gambling dogs also secretly rejoiced.

This round is a sure thing.

Chu the Trash is still Chu the Trash… all bark and no bite, someone muttered.

Xu Tianzhen shook her head, the anticipation in her eyes fading slightly.

“Ahem~”

“Since you’ve entered the life-or-death arena, life and death are irrelevant.”

An elder of Tianxing Peak announced loudly, “I declare the life-or-death duel to begin!”

BOOM!

The life-or-death arena’s formation activated, and the ground trembled.

A white barrier, like an overturned giant bowl, enveloped the entire arena.

The gambling dogs watched intently, their hearts filled with anticipation.

Kill him!

Kill Chu Xiu!

Zhang Meng, kill that trash!
