Chapter 236: Sect Competition-4
" Don't worry, I'll definitely help you get your money's worth. " Gang said out loud, while he thought:
' Kekekeke, what an idiot, did he really place his bet on me just because I asked him to? Haha, I will get a part of his money when I lose, damn that's some fast cash. '
Hiding his sneer, Gang asked: " How many points did you put on me though? "
If Jayden hadn't placed a big amount then even if his plan succeeds he won't benefit much, Gang hoped that Jayden had placed a big bet.
" Two million Sword points. " Jayden said in a confident tone.
" Wh-? T- T- T- Two million? Damn, I'm going to be so rich- cough I mean you're going to be kekeke- cough going to be so rich. "
Gang said he was having trouble holding his laugh, even he would be able to obtain a few hundred points.
Just then Wang Jia's voice rang around all over the place, she stood at the high stage and announced:
" We will now start the sect competition, I won't take much of your time but just let me remind you, everyone should act according to the rules, if you are found doing something wrong you will be punished immediately, no matter who you are. "
Saying that her eyes swept across everyone, even the Prince, who just scoffed in return.
" Let's start, the senior disciples' battles will be conducted according to the list and the junior disciple first needs to pass a test only then they would be allowed to go to the next stage. "
After finishing, she walked back to her seat and the whole crowd erupted in loud Cheers and then according to the matches selected, the senior disciples began walking to fight on the stages, as their names were announced.
Jayden looked towards Xiao Rong and saw that she was staring back at him, showing her a smile Jayden gave her a thumbs up.
Xiao felt ecstatic seeing his gesture, she was hoping that he would wish her luck and now she was feeling motivated but just then his voice sounded in her mind:
' If you win, I'll fulfil any one wish of yours. '
Xiao Rong's eyes widened in surprise, then her motivation shot through the roof and she just wanted to jump on the stage and beat every single one of the opponents.
After that the start of the first match was announced, she stood up, holding in her excitement and walked towards one of the stages.
There was a boy standing on the other side of the stage in front of her, seeing her climbing on the stage his eyes widened in surprise, at first he was mesmerized by her beauty then a look of despair appeared on his face, raising one of his hand he spoke:
" I admit defeat. "
Xiao nodded, her chilly aura alone was enough to scare most of the disciples, gracefully she walked back to her seat and looked back at Jayden who was observing her.
With a shrug, she thought: ' I can't fight them if they all just admit defeat, he won't say no to his promise because of this, will he? ' she wondered.
Jayden knew only a couple of disciples would dare to challenge her, then he looked towards the place where his own test was about to begin.
There was a big blue crystal, standing tall in the middle of the ground, with a confused look Jayden asked:
" What is that for? Are we going to use that thing for our test? "
Gang, who was still laughing inside spoke:
" Yes, it will be used to measure our battle prowess, anyone below the sixth stage of Body refining will be disqualified. Don't worry about me, I'm the one who was going to win anyway. Hahaha "
He finishes with a wild laugh making the surrounding disciples to frown.
The young elder who once took Jayden's class walked near the crystal and spoke:
" Since all of you are already aware of my identity, I won't waste my time on that, let's just start with the test, one disciple will come at a time that is, based on the number of your seats. If your battle prowess is below the 6th stage of Body refining then you will be disqualified, alright let's start with number one. "
As he finished speaking, the disciple sitting at the first seat stood up and walked towards the crystal nervously.
After bowing towards the elder, he placed one of his hands on the crystal.
The blue crystal glowed and immediately four dots, each with the size of a fist appeared on it.
" Unfortunately, you are disqualified, go back and train harder and try next time. "
The elder said, and the disciple was barely stopping himself from crying as he walked away.
" Then number two. " Elder announced in a loud voice.
Jayden checked his seat and saw that it was number 681, ' it's going to take quite long for my turn to arrive. '
Jayden thought and teleported in the empty seat between Sasha and Sophie, that they had left vacant for him.
" Darling, what's your number? " Sasha asked, wrapping herself around his arm.
" It is 681, I think it will take a couple of hours. "
Jayden said, then he turned to Sophie who was eating something that looked like an ice cream.
" Honey, what are you eating? " He asked.
" I don't know what it's called here, but it is really sweet, do you want to try it? "
Sophie said and extended her arm towards him.
Jayden took a bite and felt that it tasted like strawberries and it was cold just like he expected.
" It's good, oye Xerome, bring some more for all of us. "
Jayden said snapping his fingers towards him.
Xerome who was now talking to a different woman was startled when he heard Jayden's voice from behind, he stood up and spoke:
" Y- Yes boss, I'll be right back. " Xerome said, and thought:
' He won't think I'm weird since I was talking to an old woman right? I was just asking her if she has a daughter or daughter in law. ' thinking this he ran away.
Alice looked at Jayden from the side then she stood up and boldly sat in his lap, and spoke:
" Hubby, taste this too, it has a different taste. "
Then she brought her round candy near his face.
Taking a bite from it, Jayden spoke: " Mmm, it's good. "
Jayden wanted to kiss her then, but he didn't like doing such things in public and she was wearing a veil over her face so Jayden just kissed her cheek.
" Hehe hubby, what are you planning for this competition? "
Alice asked with a light giggle, as she felt his lips on her cheek, though the veil was still there, and his arms wrapping around her waist gently.
" You will know soon, but it will surely be quite interesting. " Jayden said.
They chatted and laughed while observing the ongoing matches, soon Xerome brought back the things Jayden had asked to, Alice had returned to her seat and now Emma sat on his lap, leaning back against his chest.
