Chapter 424: Chapter 424: The Bet

"Heh, how laughable. Do you think this Trial Tower is your home, that you can just ascend as many levels as you wish? The fight hasn’t even started yet, and you already think you can pass this level’s trial?"

"But then again, maybe you’re counting on Brother Deng Yu being here, right?"

"Shameless creature, why should our Brother Deng Yu share the spoils with you after he bravely fights off the enemies?"

"Leave now through the teleportation window; don’t even think about sharing in the achievements of this level."

A muscular giant standing beside Deng Yu, looking at Lin Chen, angrily spoke up.

"How arrogant. What are you, after all? You’re just at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, just like us."

"Since you’re so confident, how about we make a bet to see which team can kill more Spiritual Puppets?"

Hong Lan raised her heavy weapon with a biting edge, a cold smile playing on her lips as she spoke to the muscular man.

Having witnessed Lin Chen’s abnormal combat strength on the fourth floor, Hong Lan had completely let go of her hang-ups.

Her prior discontent with Lin Chen robbing her of her treasures was due to Lin Chen’s lower Cultivation and not knowing what methods he used to defeat her in the Baiming Pavilion, which caused her continual dissatisfaction with him.

However, during the previous encounter on the fourth floor, Lin Chen’s abnormal battle strength thoroughly conquered her heart.

Lin Chen, as a powerful figure, was enough to make her set aside so-called face and make an alliance.

Hong Lan was not one to hold petty grudges, quite the contrary, she was a person who dared to love and hate openly.

Lin Chen’s otherworldly performance on the fourth floor had thoroughly turned her into a little fan of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s care for Qiu Ya made Hong Lan understand his intentions.

Hong Lan clearly remembered that when Lin Chen came to the Formation Sect, he was alone, with no beautiful women by his side.

So she believed that Qiu Ya was definitely someone Lin Chen met within the Trial Tower.

Regarding men, it was normal for them to be somewhat lecherous in Hong Lan’s view, as long as a man had sufficient strength, having multiple wives and concubines was normal.

What she was most confident about was that her looks and figure were in no way inferior to Qiu Ya’s.

At this moment, after Hong Lan proposed the bet to the muscular man, she came to Lin Chen’s side and, changing her previous attitude toward him, gave Lin Chen a sultry look.

"Lin Chen, Brother, this bet relies entirely on you."

Hong Lan, twisting her waist, said to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was quite puzzled by Hong Lan’s sudden about-face.

Whether this woman’s attitude toward him became better or worse, Lin Chen did not care.

As for the bet, Lin Chen was actually somewhat concerned.

This woman, Hong Lan, actually wanted to hijack his breadwinning, using him to bet against others, which was quite a cunning plan.

However, Lin Chen had no intention of handing over the treasures he had won to Hong Lan.

If he won the bet by killing the Spiritual Puppets, naturally the treasures should belong to Lin Chen himself.

And as for Hong Lan, what treasures did she even have left on her?

"Arrogant woman, you do intrigue me; I want to see what you’ll use to kill the same number of Spiritual Puppets as us."

The muscular man looked at the surrounding Spiritual Puppets, somewhat puzzled, because at that moment, the Spiritual Puppets hadn’t attacked them yet.

Could it be because of the rules of the Trial Stone Tower, giving them ample preparation time?

"Who said we are betting on shattering the same number of Spiritual Puppets?"

"Let’s make our bet bigger; if you can kill half the number of Spiritual Puppets our team does, you win," she proposed.

"If you lose, it’s not just you but he as well must hand over all the treasures and resources on you."

Hong Lan’s gaze fell on the distant Deng Yu, her lips curling into a triumphant smile.

She had absolute confidence in Lin Chen.

Even though Deng Yu’s power appeared to be the strongest among all present, he could not possibly surpass Lin Chen.

"Heh, amusing, we accept this bet."

"Your confidence, does it come from this useless thing? Being of the Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm, I’d like to see on what basis he dares to claim he can shatter twice our number," Deng Yu retorted, now taking this bet not just as a wager but as an insult to his own strength.

Who was he? The favorite son of Heaven, whereas this contemptible Lin Chen couldn’t even be compared with him.

Woosh—

No sooner had their bet been made than the distant Spiritual Puppets sprang into motion.

"Lin Chen, Brother, I’m counting on you," Hong Lan said, slightly turning towards Lin Chen, her impressive bust making a slight jump, seemingly encouraging Lin Chen.

Hearing this, Lin Chen did not respond, because in his view, the bet Hong Lan mentioned was nothing more than helping him arrange his own battle.

He certainly had no intention of giving even a fraction of the post-victory resources to Hong Lan.

Swoosh—

The moment the Spiritual Puppets moved, Lin Chen and Deng Yu also instantly sprang into action.

Their figures nearly simultaneously charged towards the Spiritual Puppets; facing nearly five hundred of them, neither showed the slightest fear.

And as they started, Du Feiyu also could not afford to show weakness and charged toward the Spiritual Puppets.

To the others watching, they thought these three were ruthless characters.

That was nearly five hundred Spiritual Puppets; venturing deep among them could easily lead to death at their hands if one wasn’t careful — not to mention there were also ten Half-Step Return to Void Realm Spiritual Puppets amongst them.
