The Returning Sword Saint's

Chapter 17 - The Wagering Prize

The audience who witnessed the brief duel felt flabbergasted. They really did not expect Xiao Yun who was just standing still, with a single move, he could defeat Xiao Ping easily.

“Good movement technique, he was able to see the unguarded gap of Xiao Ping's weakness... It was just a regular move, but it was brilliant!” praise Xiao Qu while staring at Xiao Yun.

“You were right, but that too was inseparable from Xiao Ping's recklessness that underestimated Xiao Yun's posture... It seems, Xiao Ping still needs a lot more practice.” said another male instructor.

“Cih, he this time was lucky because Xiao Ping was careless, yet would it happen a second time?” cetus Xiao Xue crossed her arms quite irritated.

Xiao Qu only smiled wryly at Xiao Xue's dislike of Xiao Yun, he then began to announce the winner.

“Xiao Yun wins!”

There were no cheers from the audience when it was announced, it was silent and as if everyone was unhappy when the final result had been announced.

After Xiao Ping was stretchered off to the treatment room, Xiao Qu began to take over once again.

“According to the rules, you can rest for 5 minutes for the duel back, and during that time, someone else will.” before Xiao Qu can finish his remark, Xiao Yun cut off, and he will not, “No need Senior, I still have a lot of stamina, Xiao Ping is not even suitable for me to warm up. Hmm, what if the students who have the cultivation level of Qi Gathering Six advance all of them, maybe it will be enough to make me a little hot.”

Xiao Yun's calm remark suddenly made many of the students who heard him angry.

“Bogged once!”

“Senior, let me hit this boy!” the cheers of the students made a noise on the training ground.

Xiao Qu felt dizzy and furious at this moment. Although he was a typical calm man, but Xiao Yun's behavior really upset him. He is also an open minded person... When he saw the students eagerly wanting to defeat Xiao Yun, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

“So, you want all the students in the Qi Gathering Six realm to advance, yes... Hmm, it's okay but I will set a rule.” Xiao Qu said.

“What is it?” xiao Yun asked, tilting his head.

“The rules are quite simple, since you have defeated one student, you will next face two students, and if you can defeat him, you will fight against three students, it keeps increasing until you lose. However, I will also set a penalty for this for the losing side.”

“What is the senior punishment?” ask one of the students.

“For the losers, the punishment is to help the clan farmers to plow the fields for one month... How?” the Smirk of Xiao Qu.

"...."

“Hijacking rice fields... Isn't that the work of mortal men?”

How a cultivator, they assumed that mortal humans were weak and fragile filthy creatures, they felt disgusted and regarded mortal humans as animals. Although their figures were the same, but not with his strength.

The cultivators only had dreams of growing stronger, whereas mortal humans only had dreams of being able to survive in this harsh world.

This dislike had already crept deep in the hearts of cultivators, although not all of them, but the majority did. Basically, cultivators only considered mortal humans as their servants who provided necessities for cultivators.

Rough work such as fishermen, farmers or herders, it was done mortal man to meet the needs of cultivators.

When Xiao Qu threw out the punishment for plowing the fields, it was as if it would be a disgrace if indeed they did such menial work.

The students looked at each other for answers. While they were silent, Xiao Yun spoke, “Oh, that's a light punishment, I accept it... After all, I won't lose.”

“....”

“Damn it!”

Xiao Yun's words made the students who heard him growl, as if, Xiao Yun said that he could defeat them all very easily.

“I received it senior!”

“I also—” soon many students who took the initiative to submit.

Xiao Qu who heard it then smiled, “OK, then. I'm glad that you guys are so excited, alright, Xiao Hai and Xiao Lao, you guys come forward.” appoint Xiao Qu.

After the two of them advanced, Xiao Qu nodded and said, “Alright then, start!—”

Xiao Yun's shout immediately gave a negative response to the audience.

“Cih, what the fuck is he, why did he stop the duel?”

“Haha, maybe he was afraid because his opponent this time there were two people.”.

“Huh, just his attitude that previously seemed arrogant, but I'm sure it must be in his heart, he looked panicked and scared.”

“Heheh, of course, if you lose, you will be in the law of plowing the fields like what mortal men do. It will be a disgrace to you for a lifetime.”

Many of the audience's reactions were mixed, Xiao Yun heard it and was quite confused. But even so, he ignored her and looked at Xiao Qu.

“What's Xiao Yun?” xiao Qu asked confusedly.

“Senior I have a proposal.”

“What is it?”

Xiao Yun then took out a pouch from behind his shirt and then handed it to Xiao Qu.

“Hey, hey, what is Xiao Yun doing... Did he bribe seniors?”

“....”

Xiao Qu was confused by Xiao Yun's actions but he still received the pouch.

“Proposalku is quite simple, in this bag there are 500 gold coins as a bet... Anyone who can defeat me, will get this prize! However, those of you who are in a duel with me, will have to pay 10 gold coins for each person. Take it easy, your coins will I put into the prize bet, the more I survive and the more people listed, the bigger the prize bet! How about that?” xiao Yun.

“....”

The people who heard were immediately shocked at the proposal from Xiao Yun, even though they did not like Xiao Yun, but the betting proposal that Xiao Yun had expressed was enough to interest them.

“Interesting, if I can defeat Xiao Yun, I will get all the betting prizes, hmm.”.

“Heh, this opportunity did not come twice, I will wait when Xiao Yun has exhausted himself, after which I will file myself. However, if I'm not good at picking time, maybe someone will get the prize bet.” thought someone started making plans.

Indirectly, the students also think of a plan of their own to get the betting prize, and without realizing it, indirectly, Xiao Yun had sowed discord among the students to fight each other for the sake of seizing the reward.

Who takes the right time, that's the winner.

But without many people realizing as well, whether these students could defeat Xiao Yun. This plan was made by Xiao Yun, of course he had thought about it carefully.

“That's acceptable, I don't mind it.” nods Xiao Qu approves.

“Alright, since Xiao Hai and Xiao Lao have been here, you guys first started the duel.”

Xiao Hai and Xiao Lao were quite upset that they advanced first, it was so because they also wanted to aim for the betting reward.

“In a moment, I want to ask, then how is the betting prize if we win it?” ask Xiao Hai.

“Of course, you will split in two. But if you are confident in your combat abilities, you can advance one by one.” Xiao Yun said casually.

Xiao Hai and Xiao Lao looked at each other and then nodded. Xiao Hai said, “Then let me advance first.”

“Oke, don't forget to pay the ticket cost.”

“....”

A minute later...

Xiao Yun stood leisurely while yawning, “Oke, who wants to advance again?”
