Under the gaze of pairs of eyes with high fighting spirit, Chen Shen showed no timidity and spoke eloquently: "My conditions are very simple: those who challenge me must prepare one million gold coins each!"
"If I win, one million gold coins will be mine. If I lose, I won't get a penny, but you can still get the chance to win the beauty."
The young man chuckled: "How's it going? It's a good deal, right?"
When all the challengers heard this, they all raised their eyebrows angrily: "One million gold coins? Damn it, you really dare to speak like a lion!"
"Even if you open your mouth so wide to breathe, you're not afraid of flashing your tongue?"
"Martial arts consumes a lot of resources. Where do we get so much spare money to squander?"
"That's right, there's no need to negotiate for one million gold! Maybe there's still room for discussion on ten thousand gold."
…
Chen Shen scratched his ears, glanced at everyone in front of him one by one, and then said in a tone full of contempt: "You are reluctant to invest a mere million gold? You still want to chase Xia Caiyue for being such a piss-poor? Go to bed as soon as possible..."
"Whoever has enough self-confidence and unswerving determination, I believe that even if he sells iron, robs and borrows it, he will definitely collect one million gold, and then try to defeat me and become an extremely honorable guardian knight!"
After listening to what Chen Shen said, the challengers were inevitably a little moved.
Anyway, you only have to pay for the one million gold if you lose.
If you win, fame, status, and even the alluring beauty Xia Caiyue will be at your fingertips. Compared with this, what is the investment of a mere million gold?
"Okay, I did it!"
"I'll do it too! See you on Qianlong Terrace at noon today!"
"At that time, Princess Caiyue herself will also come to watch the game in person. This senior will definitely defeat you in front of her!"
"And I. Want to earn that one million gold coins? The prerequisite is that you can win against me!"
…
When all the challengers came to think of it, Chen Shen's cultivation level was still in the Hundred Schools League, that is, he was a one-star Xuanshi.
And these challengers are all old students who have been in school for at least three years. There are also many who have been in school for five, six, seven or eight years.
Whether it's mystical energy cultivation or mystical skills and tactics, they are confident enough to crush this young man who has only been in school for more than ten days!
…
Chen Shen raised the corner of his mouth and cupped his hands to everyone: "Okay. At noon today, you bring the money and the signed blood contract, and we will see you at the top of the Qianlong Platform!"
"Please also tell me: no matter who it is, as long as you can get a challenge fee of one million gold after losing, I, Chen Shen, will not refuse anyone who comes!"
After the challengers left, the little fat Wang Dun had a frown on his face: "Oh! Brother Chen, you are too impulsive! They are all old students a few years higher than us, and the weakest one is probably a two-star Xuanshi. Then
Not to mention strong. How do you win?"
Hearing this, Jin Chengzhi and Dianyi couldn't help but nodded, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Whether you can win or not, you have to try to know."
Chen Shen smiled freely: "Don't say that the elder brother doesn't take care of you. Now there is a way to make money. Do you want to make a fortune?"
"How to make money? My brother Chen, how long has it been, and you still have dreams of getting rich?"
Chen Shen didn't say much, and just asked: "In one sentence, do you believe me?"
The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. Although their expressions were struggling, they finally nodded: "Believe me!"
"Very good. Then after I get to the Qianlong Platform, you will be like this..."
After hearing what Chen Shen said, the three teenagers were all shocked: "What? Betting? How can this happen!"
"No? But there is no rule in the school rules that prohibits students from gambling." Chen Shen looked innocent.
"Well... there are no clear regulations in the school rules. But according to Dean Liao's temperament, if he knows that the students are gambling privately while watching the martial arts in Qianlongtai, he will definitely be furious, and he will definitely not be able to escape a severe reprimand.
"." Jin Chengzhi explained.
Liao Cangmang's nickname of "Yam Luo Zombie Face" is not for nothing. Even a dandy like Jin Chengzhi is inevitably afraid of him.
"But the problem is that Dean Liao is not in the school. If he were here, Xia Caiyue would not dare to target me so blatantly and hold a so-called selection battle for guardian knights."
Chen Shen was convinced: "The person in charge now is the vice president. With his character, one is the apple of the eye of the King of Huainan, and the other is the only grandson of the general. He is not easy to offend both sides, and will only turn a blind eye.
One eye."
"That's it... then we can give it a try." The three of them agreed.
However, looking at their expressions at this time, it was obvious that they were not very interested.
Maybe he feels that Chen Shen has no chance of winning at all, and his so-called "money path" will only enrich other people's pockets in the end...
The three of them were just about to speak to persuade Chen Shen, but unexpectedly the other party had already issued an eviction order: "This challenge comes from a bad person, and I need to be well prepared. You go and do your work first. I'll see you at Qianlong Terrace at noon."
"
After they left, the young man closed the door and yawned loudly and muttered to himself: "Prepare a woolen yarn and take a nap as soon as possible. I'm so sleepy."
…
At noon, the sun hung lazily in the sky, and Chen Shen's lonely house was filled with shouts.
"Boss, get up quickly! Aren't you going to fight? It'll be too late if you don't get up!" Xiaobai climbed up to Chen Shen's forehead and pressed it with his furry paws.
"Um...got it."
The young man stood up slowly, stretched and rubbed his eyes. After putting Xiaobai into the battle pet space, he walked towards the Qianlong Platform with a careless pace...
In the battle pet space, Xiaobai looked helpless: "Master Tiger, I am a majestic beast, why does the boss just let me do some work like radar, alarm clock and so on? It's too unfair!"
"No, no, this tiger god can't just eat and sleep in the battle pet space from now on. He must also practice diligently and improve his cultivation as soon as possible."
"If nothing else, at least be better than Red Rabbit, that's it!"
…
When Chen Shen walked into the paddock of Qianlongtai, more than 700 people had already gathered here, most of them were students, and only a dozen people came to watch the lively lectures.
The number of spectators plus challengers totaled just over 700 students, which at first glance seemed to be a small number.
But in fact, only the top 100 students in each battle hall and the top 10 in the alchemy hall can be admitted to the inner courtyard of the Imperial Capital Academy. Therefore, the total number of students in the entire academy is less than a thousand.
There are now more than 700 students watching the competition, which accounts for a large proportion. This shows how sensational Xia Caiyue's move to select guardian knights is.
The students were divided into two teams, one team of fifty-five people stood on the Qianlong Platform and were the challengers; the other team of more than six hundred and seventy people were scattered around the ring to watch the excitement.
In the group of spectators, two uncles and nephews, Shao Wenkai and Shao Erbi, were actually among them.
When the two of them saw Chen Shen entering the venue, they both had a mean smile on their faces. Needless to say, these two guys must be waiting to see Chen Shen make a fool of himself...
