Chapter 62

"Principal Li, are you serious?" Xiao Zhenxiong asked softly.

Li Zhenfeng was no fool; why would he bet if he knew he wasn't his opponent? This raised Xiao Zhenxiong's suspicion.

"Of course, it is true," Li Zhenfeng affirmed, then added with a smile, "However, this time I must increase the stakes. I can't make a fuss like before."

With Su Yi here, this time the challenge was firmly in Li Zhenfeng's grasp. Knowing the result in advance, it was only fitting to aim for a more substantial reward.

"What?" Jiang Yunhua and Xiao Zhenxiong exchanged puzzled glances. In past gambling battles, Li Zhenfeng was the consistent loser, and they had witnessed every painful expression on his face.

Why would he dare to increase the stakes this time? Was he eager to lose? Or was he acting recklessly?

"What are you betting on?" Jiang Yunhua composed herself and asked. She was confident in Ling Feiyu and didn't see any reason to be weak against Li Zhenfeng.

"Your Fire Spirit Orb and Xiao Zhenxiong's Fire Coral," Li Zhenfeng stated bluntly.

In the Ju Po Realm, every step forward was arduous. In addition to diligent cultivation, practitioners needed items rich in Spiritual Qi to aid their progress. Both the Fire Spirit Orb and Fire Coral were fire-type spirit creatures, and Li Zhenfeng, being a fire spiritual cultivator, had long coveted them.

However, these items were costly, and he couldn't acquire them through conventional means. Hence, his only option was to try his luck and win them through gambling.

"Such a big bet?" Both Jiang Yunhua and Xiao Zhenxiong were taken aback. The Fire Spirit Orb and Fire Coral were valued at tens of millions of Blue Star Coins each.

Tens of millions of Blue Star Coins represented a significant sum, even for the major families in Yuancheng. Acquiring these treasures was challenging, even with substantial wealth.

Li Zhenfeng's audacity surprised them. Su Yi, on the other hand, recognized the strategy and thought to himself, "Old Li is cunning enough." With Su Yi's assistance, it was evident that Li Zhenfeng had set the stage for victory, creating a scenario where Xiao Zhenxiong and Jiang Yunhua were likely to lose.

"Dare to bet?" Li Zhenfeng looked at Xiao Zhenxiong and Jiang Yunhua with anticipation.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Zhenxiong spoke up, "Principal Li, we are willing to bet, but you must also put forth something of equivalent value."

Similarly, Xiao Zhenxiong had immense confidence in his student. Though Ji Ming only had the Sixth Stage of Qi and Blood, he possessed a body-building secret technique and a boxing technique that could instantly elevate his Cultivation Base to the Eighth Stage of Qi and Blood. With his defensive skills and added strength, Ji Ming's real combat power surpassed even that of the Ninth Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm. At this stage, it was challenging to find a worthy opponent for Ji Ming.

"I have a profound pill refining technique, completely deciphered. I am willing to bet it," Li Zhenfeng said earnestly.

The pill refining technique he referred to was the [Pill Refining True Essence Art] deciphered by Su Yi. Such techniques were exceedingly rare, especially at the profound level, making their value immeasurable. Despite the significant value of the Fire Spirit Orb and Fire Coral, the [Pill Refining True Essence Art] could be considered even more precious.

Though Xiao Zhenxiong and Jiang Yunhua were not pill refining masters, they could use the [Pill Refining True Essence Art] to exchange for items they urgently needed. If they agreed to the gamble, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage at all.
