Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Practical Combat

After leaving Lucas Armstrong, Peter Brown still couldn’t understand what kind of person Lucas was. However, in this matter, Peter could see that Lucas was not a simple character.

When Peter returned to the Alchemy area, he was surprised to find that the five women were already there, discussing something in hushed tones.

Although they had an agreement, nothing particularly unusual had happened, and the five women even pretended to stand up and politely greeted Peter with a respectful bow.

"Sit down."

Peter sat down.

"I’ve found out some information. It’s Carl Webster and Kit Nelson who set this up."

Lotus Spencer directly told Peter what she understood about the situation.

Peter nodded slightly and said: "This time, it might become a betting competition."

"A betting competition?"

"How many cultivation coins do you all have?" Peter suddenly asked.

Although they didn’t understand Peter’s intention, the five women reported their financial situation to him.

When he heard their reports, Peter was surprised. All five of them had their own wealth, which was much more than his.

"Put all the cultivator coins you can mobilize and bet on my victory!"

Peter looked at the five women and said.

"Okay!"

All five women didn’t question Peter’s confidence and nodded firmly.

At this moment, Great Steward Carl Webster arrived with a group of people.

When he entered, Carl glanced at Lotus Spencer. Although he had forced himself on her, she was considered his daughter-in-law in the public eye.

Carl’s face carried a smile as he said to Peter, "Peter Brown, the department has now agreed to the challenge proposed by the Alchemists. As a new Alchemist, you must respond to the challenges from the Alchemy Hospital’s Alchemists. What do you have to say?"

"Can I refuse the challenge?" Peter suddenly asked.

Carl replied, "Of course, you can. According to the regulations, if you refuse, you lose. Light punishment would be the abolishment of your cultivation, and heavy punishment would be enslavement!"

"What if I accept the challenge and they lose?" Peter asked again.

"Their consequence will be the same as if you didn’t accept the challenge."

"Will they set the questions for me to accept the challenge?"

"Exactly, there will be many questions."

Peter then smiled, "The most direct and effective way to demonstrate one’s alchemy level is what?"

Carl was patient and replied, "Of course, it’s the quality of the Elixirs they can refine."

Peter smiled slightly and said, "Answering so many questions is not as straightforward as just betting on Alchemy. As long as they surpass me in Alchemy, I lose. Otherwise, they lose!"

Carl glanced at Peter and then at Lotus Spencer. He nodded slightly and said, "Is this your request?"

"Yes!"

At this point, Carl was also confused. He didn’t know where Peter’s confidence came from. However, since Peter had proposed this examination method, it was indeed an easy way to test. It was straightforward.

"What do you six Alchemists say?" Carl looked at the six Alchemists standing there.

It was only then that Peter noticed that the six people were the ones he had to defeat. He carefully observed them for a while and saw that one of them was a Golden Core Stage person, while the other five were just Foundation Establishment stage people.

"I think this is more direct. I agree." The Golden Core stage Alchemist looked at Peter and said.

"Alright, let’s have a direct confrontation then. Starting from the lowest level of alchemy, Peter, as long as the Elixirs you refine surpass the ones your opponents refine, you win. If your Elixirs are equal, you still win." Carl’s confidence was now very full; among the six people, three of them had relatively high alchemy levels in the Shire. Even if Peter understood some Alchemy, he might not necessarily win. Besides, this was a confrontation with six people. Peter would have to win at least four rounds to claim a true victory.

As Carl’s words fell, everyone walked towards the Alchemy stage.

Some of the big shots in the Shire had heard the news and rushed over. They also wanted to see if Peter’s Alchemy level met the standard.

As they prepared for the competition here, the excitement started offstage.

"Start betting, start betting! Everyone can come and place their bets now, who will win and who will lose? This will determine if you get rich."

"Our betting house is the most trustworthy. No matter how much money you have, you can come and bet. Heavenly Dao Oath is guaranteed; you can be at ease."

"Place your bets, will it be the victory of the newly-promoted Alchemist Peter, or the victory of the six veteran Alchemists? Place your bets and find out!"

All kinds of gambling and money winning calls came, and people started placing bets.

Some big shots in the Shire started betting as well.

Actually, every event like this in the Shire was an opportunity for people to gamble. Today’s betting was rare and attracted many people to participate.

"Are we really betting on Peter’s victory?" The five women whispered to each other.

"Bet!"

Lotus Spencer pressed her hand firmly, as if making a decision, and said to the other women.

"The first person the opponent sends out is a test. I don’t know if we can win. If we can’t, we’ve lost everything!"

The women were still somewhat doubtful.

"Don’t worry. I know Peter well, and he’s definitely not someone who would talk about victory lightly. He must have something up his sleeve."

"Ladies, the odds are now one to seven. If Peter wins, it’s a one to seven payout. Do we really want to bet?" Summer Miller ran over and whispered.

"We have to trust Peter. If he can’t pass this level, he won’t be able to defeat even stronger opponents. So, I am definitely going to bet all my assets."

Lotus Spencer was full of confidence in Peter.

"Okay, I will bet everything too." Cassi Mills decided at that moment.

"That’s right, have faith in Peter. I will bet too."

"Let’s bet!"

"We’ve come this far, bet!"

Soon, all five women had actually put all their wealth on Peter’s victory.

After placing their bets, the five women looked at Peter, who was sitting on the stage. They didn’t know where Peter’s confidence came from. But it seemed like he was preparing to fight against the Nelson Family.

Soon, the people below had completed their bets.

A servant approached Kit Nelson and whispered, "That young man hasn’t done anything."

Kit Nelson laughed, "That kid probably doesn’t have much confidence, huh?"

"Peter Brown, the competition has begun, and you cannot quit halfway. Whoever quits will be judged as zero points. Remember that."

"I understand."

Peter had already understood this matter and did not feel it was strange.
