Chapter 453: The sea of gambling is boundless; turning back is the shore!
"Uh... Esteemed Xuanwu, here are all my treasures, including my clothes. I'm going all-in!"Zheng Yu didn't even think for a second before going all-in on the spot.
Xuanwu was dumbfounded by Zheng Yu's immediate all-in.
Xuanwu had seen countless gamblers, having played such games with opponents in the past when Spirit Beast Island opened.
In the face of his Fortune Essence inheritance game, there were always some overly confident small-time gamblers who couldn't resist the allure of Fortune Essence and would stake all sorts of treasures as their chips.
But Xuanwu could only say that those small-time gamblers always ended up losing everything!
In the past, these small-time gamblers would usually test the waters first, then slowly get deeper into the game under his guidance, eventually betting everything they had.
But this was the first time Xuanwu had seen someone go all-in right off the bat...
Just as Xuanwu concluded that Zheng Yu was a complete gambling addict, others chimed in as well.
"Uh... Esteemed Xuanwu, these are all my treasures, I'm going all-in too... Oh, and I'm even betting my underwear!"
"Esteemed Xuanwu, count me in... I'm going all-in too..."
"Me, me, me... I'm all-in too..."
"Uh, Esteemed Xuanwu, can we pause for a moment? I need to step out and bring our entire Star Moon Sect here to go all-in."
"I'd like to step out too..."
"I'm betting our entire Barbarian Holy Land!"
"How about we up the stakes and bet our lives... I'll bet my life, Esteemed Xuanwu, you can evaluate its worth... If I lose, my life is yours..."
"Yes, yes, betting lives is thrilling... I'm betting my life too..."
"I'm betting my life as well..."
"Count me in, count me in... If I lose, my life is yours, Esteemed Xuanwu..."
Xuanwu: "??????????????????????"
Chu Xinghe: "..."
Xuanwu was completely stunned... utterly stunned...
What the hell kind of people are you?
Are you all normal?
I only mentioned a test of Fortune Essence, plus a gambling game... and you're not only going all-in, but you're also betting your lives? What does that even mean? ȓА????Ǒ????ËŠ
Xuanwu had seen many gambling addicts... he even admitted to being one himself.
But damn, he'd never seen anyone bet their life right off the bat...
Normally, a gambling addict would only bet their life after losing everything and having nothing left to live for.
What the hell is with you betting your lives right away?
And shouldn't you show some respect to me, Xuanwu?
Shouldn't you at least listen to my rules? Do you even know what you're betting on? Why are you so crazy?
Is the world outside changed now? Are people outside all so reckless?
Zheng Yu didn't know if he should respect Xuanwu, but he knew that if he didn't bet his life, it would be an insult to Senior Brother Xinghe, the Father of Fortune!
What? Xuanwu, you say you haven't even mentioned the content of the bet?
The content doesn't matter... as long as it's about Fortune Essence, whatever the content, if I lose, it means my fate is sealed, and I won't blame anyone!
Tantai Jing was resolute... Ever since entering Spirit Beast Island, he hadn't encountered a single good thing, but here with Xuanwu, he finally found a chance to reap rewards!
If you talk about Chu Xinghe's other abilities, I, Tantai Jing, am not convinced...
But if you talk about comparing Fortune Essence with Chu Xinghe... I wholeheartedly support Chu Xinghe!
The Ancestor of Ghosts had such strong Fortune Essence!
When I emerged from the mountain, I was directly teleported to the Grand Sky Sect, can you say that kind of Fortune Essence is common?
After I died, I could still be reborn, if that Fortune Essence isn't protagonist-level, then what is?
But damn, in front of Chu Xinghe, I don't even dare claim I have Fortune Essence...
So this time, I, Tantai Jing, have finally found a turning point... betting on Fortune Essence with Chu Xinghe, I'm going to make a fortune!
Ji Moran clung to Xuanwu's leg, pleading, "Esteemed Xuanwu, please let me step out for a moment, I'll go back to our Cloud Soar Sect and bring everyone here to bet."
What?
You're asking if the Sect Master and Great Elder would agree?
If I go back and tell them what this bet is about, do you believe our Sect Master and Great Elder would bring the entire sect to bet their lives? We don't care about other places, but this time our Cloud Soar Sect is all-in!
"Everyone step aside... Esteemed Xuanwu, I am Dou Ding, the Barbarian King of the Barbarian Tribe... I'm betting our entire Barbarian Holy Land and the lives of all our remaining people and Demonic Beasts..."
"Your Barbarian Holy Land isn't worth much... We have more resources in North Mystic City... Esteemed Xuanwu, we're betting the lives of everyone in North Mystic City... if you win, the entire city is yours..."
"No matter how many resources North Mystic City has, can it compare to Martial Emperor City? I'm betting the entire Martial Emperor City!"
"I'm betting the lives of everyone in the Demonic Sect, Tantai Jing is all-in..."
"Yes, yes, we're betting the lives of everyone in the Star Moon Sect too, if you win, Esteemed Xuanwu, you'll be the sole ruler of the Blazing Sun Continent!"
"How about... I bet our Grand Sky Sect too?"
As soon as Chu Xinghe spoke, the others were immediately anxious!
"Chu Xinghe, have some shame, will you? Look at what state our Demonic Sect is in? It's not easy for us to gather some Fortune Essence, what use do you have for it?"
"Senior Brother Xinghe, Tantai Jing is right... I, Zheng Yu, although considered a person of great Fortune Essence, would only be enhancing myself by getting more, you don't need to get involved, right?"
"Senior Brother Zheng Yu makes a good point... Senior Brother Xinghe, you're cheating..."
"Please, Senior Brother Xinghe, don't break the game rules!"
"Yes, yes... if you bet the entire Grand Sky Sect, with the little Fortune Essence Xuanwu has, is there enough for us to share?"
"Exactly, exactly... Xuanwu doesn't have much Fortune Essence to begin with, if we split it, each of us won't get much, if you bet the Grand Sky Sect, what will we have left? Besides, what use do you have for it?"
"Senior Brother Xinghe... even I, Dou Ding, have to say something... as the saying goes, leave some room for others, so you can meet again in the future, don't you have a sense of your own situation? Xuanwu's Fortune Essence is just a tiny bit, if we split it among us, it's enough, what use do you have for it?"
"Sister Dou Ding speaks well! I advise you, Senior Brother Xinghe, to be kind, you don't need that little bit of Fortune Essence, right? So leave Xuanwu's Fortune Essence to us!"
Chu Xinghe: "..."
Xuanwu: "????????????????????"
The words of these young people had left Xuanwu completely bewildered...
What... I've seen gambling addicts...
I've seen arrogant gambling addicts even more... but damn, I've never seen such an arrogant group of gambling addicts in my entire life...
I've never even heard of it...
I haven't even mentioned the test yet, and you're already planning how to divide my Fortune Essence? What is this?
What gives you such confidence to think you've already won?
Just as Xuanwu's face turned dark with anger, Dou Ding spoke up from the side, "Uh... with us betting so much... is there enough Fortune Essence from Esteemed Xuanwu to go around?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... that's a problem... Esteemed Xuanwu, do you have enough Fortune Essence?"
"Yes, yes... don't let there be not enough Fortune Essence to go around..."
Xuanwu: "..."
Xuanwu suppressed the urge to unleash a breath of Xuanwu's fury and wipe everyone out.
"I hold the mysteries of Fortune Essence, my Fortune Essence is endless, you're all on a path to self-destruction!"
Xuanwu almost gritted his teeth as he said this.
But when he claimed his Fortune Essence was endless, he noticed all eight of them looking at him with an expression that said, "You're lying."
Xuanwu was utterly embarrassed!
Well... I admit saying my Fortune Essence is endless was a bit exaggerated... but damn, since I became a Holy Beast and mastered Fortune Essence, I've never lost, okay?
I, the Holy Beast Xuanwu, also have a name called the Fortune Holy Beast... is there a problem with me saying my Fortune Essence is unparalleled?
What do you mean by looking at me like that?
At this moment, Xuanwu, too exasperated to argue with these youngsters, directly announced the test content.
With a wave of Xuanwu's hand, a hundred small Xuanwu appeared floating in the sky.
"I have hidden the power of Xuanwu within them, each of you can choose one, if you can pick the right one in one go, you succeed, otherwise you lose, so you still have a chance to withdraw everything you've bet."
Xuanwu's gaze fixed on the eight, as if to say, "The sea of gambling is boundless, turn back before it's too late, young ones."
"Uh... Esteemed Xuanwu, isn't this too easy... how about we let these little Xuanwu move around... that would increase the difficulty... of course, with increased difficulty, we hope the Fortune Essence reward from Esteemed Xuanwu would increase as well?"
"Yes, yes... Senior Brother Zheng Yu's idea is excellent... increasing difficulty and rewards is very reasonable..."
"I think we should double the number... that would increase the difficulty and the reward, how about that?"
"Great, great... I think we should directly double the number..."
"It can be doubled again..."
"How about this... the first doubling is two hundred, the second doubling is four hundred, the third doubling is eight hundred, and we can give Esteemed Xuanwu two hundred more... otherwise, if we win, it would seem like we're bullying Esteemed Xuanwu!"
"Sister Dou Ding makes a good point... let's make it a thousand... give Esteemed Xuanwu two hundred..."
Chu Xinghe: "..."
Xuanwu: "！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！"
