Chapter 298: 298: Wrong by a Billion, Wrong by a Billion!
He has already wasted three days in this secret realm, with no clue about how conditions are outside. It would be bad news if anything happened to AnRan.
All he wanted to do now was to exploit all of the tremendous opportunities the old man spoke of and didn’t want to care about anything else.
Right in front of Jiang Xiaobai, the white-bearded old man was also bewildered.
Over countless years, the white-bearded old man had seen many monstrous geniuses and had witnessed the birth of many terrifyingly powerful beings.
However, despite his vast experience, he was still shocked by Jiang Xiaobai.
Just kidding, where could there be such a monster?
Especially at many of the examination checkpoints, the white-bearded old man deliberately increased the difficulty. Like the first one where one had to break through three methods. Even the most devilish genius couldn’t understand all of them in such a short period, let alone practice them.
But Jiang Xiaobai did just that!
How could it not be shocking?
“Old man? Old man, what are you daydreaming about? I’m in a rush. Hurry up and move quickly!”
Jiang Xiaobai saw that the white-bearded old man had no response and immediately started hustling him.
At this moment, the white-bearded old man finally came back to his senses. The shock on his face disappeared, and he looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if he’d seen a ghost.
“Cough cough, boy, tell me honestly, are you some god incarnate or someone who is reborn?”
Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback.
Does this old man know something? Have I given myself away?
Though truth be told, in some sense, he, Jiang Xiaobai, was indeed a reborn person.
“No, if I were some god incarnate of rebirth, would I bother coming here?”
Jiang Xiaobai steadied himself and shot a glance at the old man: “Hurry up and stop messing around, get the stuff out so I can take it and leave.”
“Oh, oh, oh…”
The white-bearded old man started to prepare the items, but suddenly paused and thought something was not right.
“Boy, now, you’re the master of this secret realm!”
Spurt!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai abruptly spat out the mouthful of water he was drinking, hitting the old man’s face.
“Hisss, you’re quite disrespectful old man. What, got nothing good left for me so you’re trying to scam me with this?”
“Why would I scam you!”
The white-bearded old man stared: “Quit complaining about your good fortune, boy. Do you know what this means?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.”
Jiang Xiaobai rallied: “Right now, all I want is to get my rewards and get out of here.”
“Let me finish!”
The white-bearded old man assumed a profound expression: “This secret realm…”
“I don’t care. If you really want me to be the master here, it’s a deal, but not now. I need to get my rewards and leave.”
“What’s the hurry?”
“Yes, I am indeed in a hurry. There are plenty of important matters waiting for me outside, so don’t hinder me from making money!” Jiang Xiaobai snapped back.
Even without taking into account the various people waiting outside for him to swindle money from, just the safety of AnRan and the bet he had with Zhuang Huanling couldn’t be delayed!
“Fine, I won’t say anymore. Now, I remember there’s a mountain of bones outside this place. Visit there after you leave the secret realm, and I will tell you everything then.”
After saying these words, the white-bearded old man waved his hand, with a light screen appearing before them.
“Here, don’t say I conned you. You passed so many trials, take these rewards.”
“I will tell you about these other opportunities later.”
Only then did Jiang Xiaobai nod: “That’s more like it!”
After saying this, many treasures appeared before him, all of the rewards from passing the checkpoints. Jiang Xiaobai didn’t use them right then and there, he truly was in a hurry to leave.
The situation outside was changing all the time. If he delayed something, his plan would likely go wrong.
“Alright, old man, I’ll come and find you again.”
As Jiang Xiaobai was about to leave through the light screen, his foot just stepping into it, he suddenly realized something.
“Wait, old man, what did you say earlier? That I am the master of this secret realm?”
“Mhm.” the white-bearded old man replied with a grin.
“So you’re saying, all the treasures in this secret realm are mine?”
“Well, theoretically, yes.”
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned instantly, as frozen as a statue.
That’s a horrendous mistake!
Unfortunately, when Jiang Xiaobai realized this, he had no chance left. A horrific suction force pulled him from the front and he was drawn out of the secret realm.
The scene in front of Jiang Xiaobai kept changing, until finally, he landed on the ground, exiting from the eighth secret realm.
Looking at the environment outside, Jiang Xiaobai slapped himself several times.
“Damn, that was a terrible mistake, a terrible mistake!”
“Your haste messed this all up and cost you such a massive opportunity!”
While slapping himself and cursing, there was profound regret in his heart.
At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from the side.
“Oh, isn’t this the arrogant Hong Shixian, looking rather pathetic now.”
Zhuang Huanling walked up to Jiang Xiaobai: “Who was bragging earlier about being able to beat me with ease?”
“What was the punishment for not winning again?”
Zhuang Huanling looked at Jiang Xiaobai with great satisfaction.
Finally, she won a round!
She didn’t care much about those ten billion top-grade spirit stones. She just wanted to see this guy stumble.
So now, seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s regretful expression, she knew that he must have failed to get through.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, although you look pretty pleasing right now, I am still very generous. I’ll give you ten days after we get out to gather the spirit stones. If you don’t have them, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Zhuang Huanling mocked.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai awoke from his regret, adjusted his emotions and slowly stood up.
“Little girl, do you really think I couldn’t get through?” Jiang Xiaobai scoffed.
“Absolutely.”
“If you did get through, I’d be freaking shocked!”
Zhuang Huanling chuckled.
“Humph, me standing in front of you right now is to make one thing crystal clear.”
“You can’t even compare to the tip of my toenail!”
Jiang Xiaobai smirked: “Let me tell you something, not only did I get through, but I also passed six more tests in one go!”
“What do you think, surprised? Unexpected?”
“Does your head feel like it’s buzzing?”
“Hahaha!”
