A Will Eternal – Chapter 739

Chapter 739: The Bet!

Bai Xiaochun's expression slightly flickered. If it was a spirit enhancement competition, then as long as he had enough fire, he could be fully confident. However, Sima Tao and Sun Yifan clearly realized that he had defeated Chen Xiong only in such a competition, and that he could perform fifteenfold spirit enhancement. In addition, when it comes to increased morale, because of how the success rate works, no one can be truly confident in winning.

That's why they didn't mention spirit enhancement. And when all was said and done, the necromancer should also be proficient in other skills of fire magic and concocting soul medicine. And since fire magic was the way one concocted soul medicine, the foundation of everything became magic.

However ... Bai Xiaochun was not completely confident when it came to conjuring fire. Right now, he was still unable to conjure the seventeen-colored flame, and even had the problem of consistently succeeding with the sixteen-colored flame.

And thus, his expression slightly flickered.

Although Sima Tao and Sun Yifan could not compete with Bai Xiaochun in a battle of words, the two of them lived for many years and experienced many things. As a result, they could immediately know what he was thinking.

Seeing that, Sima Tao added, “If we are going to compete, then we also need to have a little bet. The bet was the right to stay in Arch-Emperor City! If you lose, you have to get out of town, never do a spirit boost again, and also let go of your store! If you win, then I'll hand over my shop to you! "

"And mine too!" Sun Yifan said with a cold smile. "Because it's two against one, we won't try to take advantage of you!"

"If that's the bet you want, then I guess I should bet a little!" Bai Xiaochun said, clasping his hands behind his back and emphasizing his words with a cold harrumph. As far as he was concerned, it did not matter that Sun Yifan and Sima Tao were Nascent Soul cultivators. Bai Xiaochun possessed the Heaven-Dao Nascent Soul, and had defeated over a hundred chosen ones. He even came out victorious over the half-god Junior Champion King. Considering all that, these two necromancers should not be a problem at all.

As he was considering whether to expel them or not, Sima Tao apparently realized what he was thinking. If this Bai Hao had not become a legend due to his courage and ferocity, Sima Tao would only challenge him to a fight, instead of bringing up the matter of fire magic. But now that he could tell that Bai Xiaochun was considering upgrading things into a head-on fight, he knew he had to do something.

"Bai Hao, you are a necromancer of the Nascent Soul, and a famous one at that. If you try to beat us, we may not be able to fight back. But using violence will only delay things today. There will always be tomorrow! Even if you disagree with our challenge today, we will return for the second time! ” Sima Tao had suffered an inspirational stroke due to his nervousness, and it immediately caused Bai Xiaochun to frown.

"Alright, Bai Hao," Sun Yifan jumped up, "I will also put up 1,000,000,000 vengeful souls! If you win, you can have it all! ” Clearly, Sun Yifan also realized that Bai Xiaochun was not completely confident when it came to juggling magic, and that it was important to force him into the challenge, no matter what!

Sun Yifan had thought through his plan well. He knew that if he caused a big enough scene, and attracted enough attention, then if Bai Hao wanted to continue doing business in Arch-Emperor City, he would have to take the challenge seriously.

And when it catches the attention of the audience, the best way to do that is to offer big bets. The exact same thing happened to Chen Xiao.

And that's why he offered 1,000,000,000 vengeful souls!

As expected, his words caused a commotion immediately. After all, 1,000,000,000 vindictive souls is a confusing number. It was the same number that had propelled Bai Xiaochun to the rank of major general at the Great Wall. Even the true spirits back there were completely shocked and moved by the figure.

"Another "shocking bet happened because of Bai Hao's shop. Last time it was 800,000,000 servings of soul medicine, and this time 1,000,000,000 vengeful souls !! ”

"It's monumental!" There was already a commotion of conversation, and many people excitedly picked up the jade slip to send a message to their friends.

Meanwhile, Sima Tao realized what Sun Yifan was thinking. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I will also throw 1,000,000,000 vengeful souls!"

His words only served to throw oil into the flames; many cries of astonishment could be heard erupting from the crowd.

"Paradise! 1,000,000,000 more!?!? ”

“That's 2,000,000,000 vengeful souls! That number ... is very surprising to think about !! ”

“This surpasses 800,000,000 servings of soul medicine. Quick, this news is priceless! We have to spread the news! " A growing number of soul growers started texting friends, and it didn't take long before all of Borough 89 was shaken. Other areas in the vicinity were also affected by the same. At this point, Bai Xiaochun's neighborhood, which was once a relatively remote and secluded location, was now filled with an excited crowd.

When Bai Xiaochun looked around and saw that people were rushing into the area from all over, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and his eyes even turned a little red. Looking back at Sima Tao and Sun Yifan, he realized that he had been cornered. If he did not accept the bet, then both of them would be free to spread rumors about him ruining their soul medicine, which would make the entire city angry at him.

"Alright," he said with clenched teeth. "How are we gonna do this?"

In general, there are two main types of competition that will occur between necromancers. One is to see who can conjure the fire with the most color, the other is to see who can conjure more flames in a given period of time.

The first type will show the overall level of what the necromancers have achieved, and the second will show how skilled they are in it.

Even though Sima Tao had come up with the idea for a sudden competition, he had abundant life experience as a necromancer, and knew that, he had, given that this Bai Hao was able to perform fifteenfold spirit enhancement, he was clearly at the sky rank, just like himself and Sun Yifan.

He had never even considered that he could become a worldly necromancer. After all, the number of worldly necromancers present in the Wildlands could be counted with one hand. Moreover, they were the type of people who roamed from one place to another and were rarely seen.

The celestial necromancer could not conjure a flame of eighteen colors. At most, they could handle a seventeen-colored flame. Of course, even those who could only do so with great difficulty, making such a flame was no match for a bet.

However, the sixteen-colored flame was a different story. Sima Tao was very familiar with sixteen-colored flames, and could produce them quite consistently. Considering his level of experience and skill, he was very confident to be able to win a competition involving that type of flame.

Sun Yifan was basically thinking the same thing, and quickly nodded in response.

"Let's compete in a flame of sixteen colors," he said, smiling coldly inside. "How about this: we can all start from a one-color flame and work up to a sixteen-color flame. Anyone who can conjure three flames first will be a winner! "

Sima Tao laughed out loud. "Perfect! It was an even simpler method than the usual one. And also more fair. All the fellow Daoists who were here to watch could be witnesses! ”

Although they had shown Bai Xiaochun the option to give an opinion, they had spoken so quickly that he was not given such an opportunity.

But ... no one present wants to show it. After all, the method suggested by Sun Yifan was as Sima Tao had said, very fair.

The truth was that Sima Tao and Sun Yifan were people who had been famous for many years, and had deep reserves of skills. Instead, Bai Xiaochun was a newcomer to the necromancy world, and no one would think of describing him as extremely skilled.

Bai Xiaochun's heart pounded when he heard the details of the bet, and he instantly got a bad premonition. When it came to fifteen-colored flames, he was actually very confident. In fact, he could succeed with almost a hundred percent certainty. But fire sixteen different colors. Even with the improvements Bai Hao made to the formula, he was still only able to achieve a success rate of roughly thirty percent.

Moreover, he had no chance to discuss the matter of the flame with anyone other than Bai Hao. Even though Bai Hao was skilled, even he had never gotten into much contact with other heavenly necromancers. Hence, even he was unsure about what level of success was common when it came to sixteen-colored flames.

After all, success rates were not often discussed by necromancers with outsiders. Usually, they kept such things a secret.

Most others in this situation will either bow their heads in defeat, or impulsively take a bet. But not Bai Xiaochun. He blinked a few times, then looked at Sun Yifan and Sima Tao and angrily said, “That's not a fair bet. I can only manage a twenty percent success rate with a sixteen-colored flame! How can I win like that !? ”

His words caused many jaws to fall in the audience. After all, many people had at least heard of the expected success rate for the sixteen-colored flame. Although no one could be completely sure, they at least had a general idea.

“Two percent success rate? It seems a little excessive. ”

“Sixteen-color fire is one of the most advanced multi-colored flame forms, and has a very low success rate. Only worldly necromancers can produce them consistently. Sky Necromancers were all different, but for the most part, they were unable to make it easily."

As the audience chattered, Sima Tao rewinded his head and laughed sarcastically. "Good business, Bai Hao! Frankly, I only have a success rate of twelve and a half percent when it comes to sixteen-color flames. Brother Sun is a little more proficient than me, but even he cannot pass fifteen percent. ”

It sounded really serious, Sun Yifan said, “If you can manage a twenty percent success rate, then you don't have to worry at all. You will definitely win! " With that, he looked at Bai Xiaochun as if to say, what, do you really think it will scare us or what?

"Well, you're active!" Bai Xiaochun said, his eyes glittering.
