BXBX NOVEL Chapter 293: Betting on Passing through
Suddenly reaching the peak of Directing The Gods, was not without reason.
It was evident that Zhuang Huanling had succeeded in passing through the eighth secret realm, and from it, she had gained an opportunity that was likely crucial to her rise in power!
A common person wanting to breakthrough from the intermediate stage of Dividing the Gods to the latter stage, would need to pay a price beyond imagination to reach such a realm.
Not to mention, she had jumped directly from the intermediate to the peak of the latter stage!
She was just one step away from reaching the Unity Period!
Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback for a moment. True to its reputation, surely anyone who would pass the eighth secret realm would gain significant resources!
While Zhuang Huanling appeared, Jiang Xiaobai also came up to her, his face full of astonishment as he watched her.
“What kind of opportunity did you actually get in there?” Jiang Xiaobai wondered.
Zhuang Huanling glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, her eyes full of pride, “Hehe, if you want to know, you can find out by going in there yourself.”
“Don’t worry, it’s very simple to pass. You don’t need me to tell you anything.”
“What kind of test is in there?” Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.
“A consultation fee?”
Zhuang Huanling raised an eyebrow.
The moment she said this, Jiang Xiaobai’s brows furrowed, “We had an agreement.”
“Sure, that was before. Do you think I’m afraid of you now?”
Zhuang Huanling sneered, “The biggest opportunity here has already been taken by me. Jiang Xiaobai, I advise you to treat me well. Otherwise, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
“Before, it didn’t take too much effort to deal with you. Now, it’s even easier.”
As she spoke, Zhuang Huanling already revealed the aura of her cultivation at the peak of the later stage of Dividing the Gods.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai felt as though he was carrying a huge mountain, extremely heavy.
Nine Revolutions Skill, Activate!
With an angry roar in his heart, the Nine Revolutions Skill started to run, directly resisting this pressure.
Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Zhuang Huanling.
“Well, well, who would’ve thought? Playing with hawks all day long has finally come to cost you,” Jiang Xiaobai sneered.
“Hehe, Hong Shixian, you should know that the only reason you’re able to show off in front of me now is because I’m magnanimous and don’t plan on killing you.”
Zhuang Huanling sneered, “Otherwise, you would’ve been the first one I killed when I came out!”
Jiang Xiaobai did not say anything. He could tell that while this woman was strongly against him, she would not actually kill him.
If you asked him why, even Jiang Xiaobai himself did not know. However, it was clear from Zhuang Huanling’s current attitude.
Of course, this did not mean Jiang Xiaobai was going to intentionally cause trouble.
If they could live in peace, then he would choose peace. It was better to make a friend than an enemy.
But with Zhuang Huanling acting so smugly, Jiang Xiaobai was indeed a bit annoyed.
“So, about the consultation fee, are you going to pay or not? Don’t worry, I won’t mess with you here, since you did help me a great deal.”
Zhuang Huanling laughed, “After all, without those two hundred Frenzy Demon Stones, I couldn’t have entered the eighth secret realm.”
“At least you have some conscience.”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered, “Here are the Frenzy Demon Stones for the seventh secret realm. Now tell me, what is the situation in the eighth secret realm? If possible, when you come out of the seventh secret realm, tell me what it’s like inside too.”
As he spoke, a storage ring was thrown into Zhuang Huanling’s hands.
Zhuang Huanling checked it and confirmed that everything inside was fine. Then, she revealed a smile on her face.
“Looking at your good performance, I will be generous and tell you today.”
“The assessment within the secret realm is naturally different. When I went in, I faced a strange scene where I had to defeat wooden men.”
Listening to Zhuang Huanling’s words, Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback, “What kind of test is that?”
“Hehe, you wouldn’t understand. Those wooden men are countless and their strength is identical to yours.”
Zhuang Huanling laughed coldly, “And that’s just a small part of it. There are at least five hundred wooden men. After you have defeated them all, you will face a wooden man that is one stage higher than you.”
“There is only one, but it is extremely powerful representing the peak of that stage. So, without extraordinary talents, you wouldn’t be able to withstand it.”
“Despite that, the benefits within this secret realm are extremely scary. After passing the test, you get a golden essence. After taking it, your power will uncontrollably soar through the roof!”
Listening to her, Jiang Xiaobai kept nodding his head, his expression turned serious.
Although this was just one situation, it was enough to show how difficult it was to pass the eighth secret realm.
First, five hundred existences of your own level would swarm you. Very few would be able to withstand that, let alone encountering a wooden man that is one level stronger than you afterward.
One could say the difficulty of passing was quite high.
“No wonder so many people were able to enter, but very few were actually able to pass.”
“However, speaking of which, I cannot believe you have such abilities. Tell me, do you know any secret to passing?” Jiang Xiaobai was looking at Zhuang Huanling and asked indifferently.
Seeing this, Zhuang Huanling suddenly laughed maliciously, “Want to know? Hehe, I’m not telling.”
Jiang Xiaobai was speechless.
“How the hell did I never realize you were this annoying before?”
“This is your trick. I’m just copying it and using it against you.”
Zhuang Huanling laughed lightly, “Hong Shixian, don’t you always claim to be very talented and powerful? Even someone like me, whom you consider insignificant, could pass. Don’t you think you can too?”
“If you can’t pass, then it really would be the joke of the century.”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered, “To be honest, I’m in the mood to give it a try.”
“Let’s see, it took you almost two days to pass through. Let’s see who can get through first.”
“Oh? You want to compete with me?”
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Huanling laughed, “Alright, what’s the wager?”
“You tell me.”
“Okay then, nothing else, I just want ten billion high-quality spirit stones. That’s not excessive, is it?”
Zhuang Huanling chuckled, “Likewise, if I lose, I will give you ten billion high-quality spirit stones.”
As she spoke, Zhuang Huanling was full of confidence.
She possessed a record of how to pass the secret realm’s test. In fact, the situation inside the secret realm was quite different from what she described. But Zhuang Huanling believed that Jiang Xiaobai had absolutely no chance of passing.
Ten billion high-quality spirit stones was like a gift from heaven, why wouldn’t she want it?
“Once it’s said, it’s decided. Let’s see who can pass faster!”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered.
