In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Dare to Bet with Me?

Moreover, Shen Xing had more or less grasped the style of the Martial Path Academy by now.

That is, they are not afraid of you competing, but only afraid of you not daring to compete!

Arrogance and self-confidence, on the contrary, are more likely to be valued and looked upon differently.

After all, the Martial Path instructor of this class, a tall young woman, had been standing aside with her arms crossed and a smile on her face. Earlier, when she saw Hu An surrounded by everyone, she merely watched the excitement and had no intention of intervening.

Because, these people surrounding Hu An, it was also.

The fact was just as Shen Xing had said. After he spoke and demonstrated his mid-Skin Tempering Stage strength, not only did some students who were only at the initial stage retreat a few steps, losing their momentum, but even the instructor’s eyes lit up.

She had thought that the one who entered on the last day would be at the bottom of the class, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a hidden top student.

To be able to reach the mid-Skin Tempering Stage in the basic class, besides having good resources, he must have also trained hard and possessed excellent talent!

Not bad, not bad.

However, although the strength of the mid-Skin Tempering Stage could indeed intimidate most of the students in the class, it obviously couldn’t scare everyone away.

“Anyone can talk big.” A well-built student with bulging muscles lazily interjected, “Even if you are at the mid-Skin Tempering Stage, you may not necessarily get the gravity device next week. There are at least ten or so mid-Skin Tempering Stage students in our class.”

This person did not squeeze in front of Hu An like the others, but he obviously held a lot of weight in this class. After he spoke from outside the crowd, many students who had started to back down seemed to have received some kind of support and started clamoring again.

“That’s right, you say you can get it, and you can get it?”

“Exactly, I also say that I will definitely get it next week. Does that mean everyone else should give it to me this week?”

“There was never a rule that others could compete on behalf of others!”

“Come and fight, if you have the ability, defeat us all!”

“…”

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, ignoring the people around him, and just stared intently at the well-built teenager who had spoken.

Hu An seemed to be worried that he would make a move again, his lips moved slightly, and he reminded in a low voice, “He is at the late stage.”

In the advanced Skin Tempering class, some powerful students had been there for more than twenty days. There were even students like An Yiyi who had directly broken through to the Muscle Tempering Stage, so naturally, there would also be those at the late-Skin Tempering Stage.

However, Shen Xing had been waiting for someone like this to speak up.

When one person conflicts with a group of people, either you have the ability to directly intimidate everyone, or you find someone with enough weight among them!

“You’re right.” Shen Xing smiled, “Anyone can talk big, so let’s add some weight. Dare to bet with me?”

“What are we betting on?” The well-built teenager at the late-Skin Tempering Stage seemed a little surprised. He walked in from outside the crowd, stood in front of Shen Xing with his arms crossed, “I’m not interested in small bets.”

“Each student in the Skin Tempering Stage can receive five basic Yuan liquids per school day. Let’s bet a week’s worth, twenty-five bottles!” The smile on Shen Xing’s face seemed to widen a bit, “Let’s bet that next week, I will get first place in fist strength increase!”

“You have the gravity device. This first place should be the first place in the whole class, right?”

“Of course.” Shen Xing said lightly.

“Good!” This teenager seemed even more surprised, as if he didn’t expect Shen Xing to be so confident, but he was obviously provoked by Shen Xing, “Let’s bet twenty-five bottles. I want to see how you will win against me next week!”

“Teacher, please be a witness.” Shen Xing turned his head and looked at the female teacher who had not spoken.

Only then did this teacher, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines without saying a word, saunter over, looked at everyone, and said with a smile, “In principle, the school does not support students using resources as bets. However, if both parties are confident, an occasional small bet is not unacceptable.”

It’s in the bag.

◈◈◈

Shen Xing knew that with the teacher’s words, he had already secured the gravity device for this week.

This was a device that could increase cultivation efficiency by at least double!

For him, it was far more valuable than twenty-five bottles of basic Yuan liquid.

What’s more, winning first place in fist strength increase in a week’s time was not a difficult task for Shen Xing at all.

If anyone had his current resources, they wouldn’t still be at the Skin Tempering Stage after a month.

“It’s settled then.” The well-built teenager revealed a mouthful of white teeth, and looked at Shen Xing with a somewhat ferocious smile, “Remember, my name is Tan Fei Hong, remember to bring twenty-five bottles of basic Yuan liquid next week!”

“You too.” Shen Xing was in a good mood and didn’t bother to say more to him. He waved his hand, directly brought up the various parameters he had just registered, and sent them to the teacher, “This is today’s fist strength standard.”

“Okay, I’ve noted it down.” The female teacher looked at it with a smile.

It was indeed the mid-Skin Tempering Stage, and not just barely reaching the middle stage.

If this new student really took first place next week, then they would have definitely found a treasure.

As for the other students, seeing that things had come to this point, no matter how unwilling they were, they knew that it was impossible to snatch the gravity device from Shen Xing this week.

They glared at Shen Xing one by one, and then dispersed.

At the Skin Tempering Stage, it was no longer required to consume resources on the spot every day and train at the school. Instead, they could take the resources back to use.

The freedom was indeed greater, but there were also many students who willingly degenerated, not using the resources for cultivation, but selling them for pleasure.

However, this was convenient for Shen Xing. He didn’t think much of the cultivation effect of basic Yuan liquid now.

It was better to save it and sell it for money.

At this time, he directly followed the teacher to receive the so-called gravity device. He also took the opportunity to chat with this new teacher for a few words and learned that her surname was Dai. She was indeed not much older than them, probably around twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

The Martial Path teachers for new students in the Martial Path Academy seemed to be very young.

And the appearance of the gravity device was also simpler than Shen Xing had imagined.

It was just a slightly larger belt.

“This thing, is it really that useful?” Shen Xing picked up the belt and was really curious.

“Gravity training is indeed very effective in the Body Tempering Stage.” Hu An explained from the side, “The biggest difference between it and the load suit is that the pressure it applies to the body is comprehensive, including bones and internal organs. Before the gravity field control device was invented, the Federation even tried to establish Martial Path training institutions on planets with greater gravity.”

“No wonder, even when Martial Path was most prevalent, the Federation did not give up on technological development.” Shen Xing seemed to sigh a couple of times, then directly put it away, stretched out his hand and put his arm around Hu An’s arm, and said with a smile, “Lao Hu, I really owe you this time. Otherwise, I would have to wait until next week.”

Don’t underestimate this one week. With sufficient pills now, any improvement in cultivation efficiency would be of great help to Shen Xing.
