Phantom Sea Demon Worms!

And fifty of them?

Seeing this, even a pig would realize that the Grand Prince had been played like a monkey.

"Grand Prince just splurged 750,000 taels of gold to win three Phantom Sea Demon Worms. Now, I'm offering fifty for 250,000 taels. Isn't that a bargain?"

Xu Ming asked with a smile.

"A bargain... a bargain indeed!" The Grand Prince gritted his teeth. He felt as if all eyes in the arena were on his private room, mocking him for being a fool.

Xu Ming's every casual movement stole the spotlight, which greatly displeased him. He couldn't wait for the duel to begin, so he could trample Xu Ming underfoot and even take the opportunity to kill him.

"A rare genius in the history of the Flying Cloud Kingdom? Hmph, once I kill you, let's see how everyone will evaluate me!"

While Sikong Liangjun was thinking these things, he forgot how much resources his family had spent to achieve his current success; without massive resources, his talent probably wouldn't be so amazing.

"So eager to die?" Xu Ming sent the fifty Phantom Sea Demon Worms to the Nine Cauldrons Merchant Association, then leaped onto the arena.

At the same time, a large number of bets on the duel between Xu Ming and Sikong Liangjun had already begun.

"Who do you think we should bet on?"

"That goes without saying, of course it's Sikong Liangjun! Although Xu Ming has been quite popular recently, Sikong Liangjun has been famous for a long time, and countless geniuses in the Flying Cloud Kingdom have fallen at his hands!"

"Indeed, indeed! As far as I know, Sikong Liangjun has never been defeated!"

"What's there to hesitate about? Just look at their cultivation levels and you'll know who to bet on! Sikong Liangjun has been in the mid-stage of Inner Refinement for a long time, while Xu Ming is probably still in Outer Refinement!"

"But don't you find it strange?"

"Strange about what?"

"If Xu Ming had no confidence at all, why would he dare to accept the challenge on stage? And even make such a huge bet with the Grand Prince?"

"That's true! Xu Ming shouldn't be stupid enough to go up there and embarrass himself, while also giving money to the Grand Prince!"

Suddenly, many people were struggling with who to bet on.

In theory, betting on Sikong Liangjun should be a sure win. But Xu Ming's confident performance was too strange, making it difficult for many people to make a decision.

On the arena, Sikong Liangjun began to boast to Xu Ming again.

"You actually dare to come on stage and fight me, your courage is indeed beyond my expectations! I originally thought you would be a cowardly turtle!"

Seeing that Xu Ming ignored him, he continued to chatter.

"Do you think you're invincible just because you beat trash like Lin Muqing? I, Sikong Liangjun, will show you today what the true top genius of our Flying Cloud Kingdom is like!"

Sikong Liangjun even dared to publicly call Lin Muqing trash without any scruples.

But this was normal.

In terms of background, the Sikong family was not weaker than the Lin family at all; and Sikong Liangjun's position in the family was even higher than Lin Muqing's position in the family.

In terms of talent, Sikong Liangjun was also clearly a level above Lin Muqing.

In terms of connections, Sikong Liangjun could interact with the Grand Prince on equal footing, while Lin Muqing could only bow down and submit to the Grand Prince.

In the capital's circle of young masters, Sikong Liangjun was undoubtedly one of the top few, while Lin Muqing was a step lower.

The upper class society was strictly hierarchical, and if Sikong Liangjun said Lin Muqing was trash, Lin Muqing would not dare to say a word in front of him.

"Are you done talking nonsense? Can we start fighting?" Xu Ming only glanced at Sikong Liangjun, then asked with extreme impatience.

"You're courting death, you dare to look down on me!"

"Look down on you? Do you even qualify to be looked down upon by me?" Xu Ming disdainfully said, "Just now, you were crying and begging me to hurry up, and now that I'm here, you're still talking endlessly—can we just fight? I still have to go for a late-night snack after this!"

"Go to hell!!"

Sikong Liangjun attacked Xu Ming with his bare hands, but the Profound Qi flowing between his fists showed that his power was extraordinary.

"Sikong Liangjun is really angry, he's using a killing move right from the start!" Among the people watching the duel, some with keen eyes said.

"Killing move? What killing move?" Of course, there were more people with poor eyesight.

"You wouldn't understand, this is the Sikong family's secret skill—the Severing Void Palm! With Sikong Liangjun's cultivation, even those in the late stage of Inner Refinement wouldn't dare to take it head-on, they can only avoid its sharp edge!"

"So powerful? In that case, wouldn't this secret skill be able to fight beyond one's level?"

"Fighting beyond one's level is probably a bit of a stretch, after all, the speed of this move isn't fast enough! However, Xu Ming's cultivation is much lower than Sikong Liangjun's, so his speed must be even slower, which is exactly what this move is designed to counter!"

"Oh? Good thing I listened to you just now and bet on Sikong Liangjun!"

"You're right to listen to me, I've been in the betting arena for so many years, if I didn't have some insight, I would have lost everything long ago!"

Xu Ming calmly watched Sikong Liangjun attack.

"The power is not bad, but the speed is so slow, it's too easy to avoid! But—since I'm going to be high-profile today, I might as well be high-profile! Besides, I really find this Sikong Liangjun annoying!"

In a split second, Xu Ming understood Sikong Liangjun's accurate strength through a probe.

"Let's use a cheat!"

"Perfect Battle!" Perfect Battle was definitely a must-have; because it was cheap, effective, and powerful!

"And another... Fivefold Defense!" Xu Ming was now rich and powerful, so he directly used a fivefold defense from the start.

"Since I've activated it, let's also have a fivefold attack!"

With all three cheats activated, Xu Ming directly gave Sikong Liangjun an attribute-level crush!

And Xu Ming's current realm was also countless streets ahead of Sikong Liangjun!

Sikong Liangjun's ultimate move, the Severing Void Palm, was extraordinary in power; but Xu Ming's attack had a kind of realm where there were no moves that were better than having moves!

Boom!

Xu Ming's iron fist was like a dragon, and he was actually going to clash head-on with Sikong Liangjun!

"Head-on, that's simply courting death!" Sikong Liangjun knew exactly how powerful his palm was; he dared to say that in the entire Flying Cloud Kingdom, no one of the same age dared to take it head-on, "This kid's realm is not bad, if he used his realm to maneuver around me, then I might have to put in some effort; but he actually chose to clash head-on!"

Sikong Liangjun's eyes were ferocious: "Then I'll cripple you first!"

"Damn, what is Xu Ming doing? I bet on him, but he's actually clashing head-on with Sikong Liangjun!" Some people also bet on Xu Ming, because they felt that the near-Intricate realm was terrifying, and there might be a chance to reverse the situation. But Xu Ming's first move directly blinded their dog eyes—Xu Ming actually gave up the advantage of his realm and chose to clash head-on!

Isn't this screwing with my money?

"Xu Ming..."

"Boss..."

Wen Shuai and Sun Ji were worried, they also believed that Xu Ming's strongest point was his realm, as for other aspects, although they seemed powerful, they were generally average compared to his realm.

"Hahaha, good!" The Grand Prince was the happiest to see such a scene, "This Xu Ming is too impatient, Sikong Liangjun just provoked him a little, and he got angry enough to clash head-on... Young people are still too impulsive!"

At this time, such a thought flashed through the Grand Prince's mind—how should I use the fifty Phantom Sea Demon Worms that I won? There are so many, I can't use them all! Moreover, the market price of Phantom Sea Demon Worms has always been stable at 50,000 because they are scarce; now that fifty of them have suddenly appeared, the price will definitely be greatly discounted if I take them out to sell!

"Could it be that I really have to take a few to feed the dogs?" Seeing the situation on the field was so good, the Grand Prince even thought like this.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ming's fist collided with Sikong Liangjun's so-called Severing Void Palm.

However... the scene that everyone expected, where Xu Ming would be crippled by the powerful Severing Void Palm, did not happen.

Instead, something happened that no one expected—

Sikong Liangjun was sent flying off the arena by Xu Ming's punch, smashing to the ground and not moving; blood kept spurting from his mouth, his body's Profound Qi was in chaos, and his life or death was unknown!
