In the rest area, Kuang Re swallowed an Energy Restoring Pill while sitting with one leg crossed over the other, slowly recuperating.

He was surrounded by a bunch of disciples, all of which were offering words of praise.

“Brother Kuang Re, your saber technique is so powerful!” A male disciple spoke first.

“Yeah, you beat Lu Ren from the Earth Spirit Peak until he ran like a turtle cowering back into its shell.” Another disciple continued.

“Tch…” A female disciple immediately left after hearing the slander against her male idol.

“Brother Kuang Re, from your performance it seems like you’re well on track for the title. The Heavenly Dawn Peak can really have something to gloat about now!” A disciple stared at Kuang Re with scorching admiration.

Kuang Re sat on his chair with an indifferent expression as he craned his neck and picked at his earwax from time to time.

At this moment, a handsome young man with delicate features walked over. “Hello, Mr. Kuang Re, my name is An Lin.”

Kuang Re cackled lightly with his bloodshot eyes wide open. “I’ve already noticed you, you’re Young Master Xuanyuan’s friend, the dog-riding warrior!”

An Lin grimaced at his words, what kind of f*cking title was this!?

Forget it, this was not the time to argue over stuff like this, and he had business to attend to…

He forced a smile onto his face. “I have something that I want to speak to you about in private.”

Kuang Re maintained his lazy expression but transmitted his voice to An Lin alone. “What’s up?”

An Lin also used voice transmission to reply to him, “Could you go easy on the next match and hand Tang Shiyuan the victory? I’ll give you forty thousand spirit stones!”

An Lin had already made some calculations; even if Kuang Re only came in second place, he would still be able to receive an elementary rank spirit tool as well as twenty thousand spirit stones as a reward. Add the forty thousand spirit stones he offered into the mix and that would make a total of sixty thousand spirit stones. That would be twice the amount received by the champion!

Kuang Re’s body shook and he opened his eyes even wider. “What kind of bullsh*t is this! I’m not the kind of person that can be bought with money, forget it!”

An Lin: “Eighty thousand spirit stones!”

Kuang Re’s body began to quiver with rage. “What I want is the glory of becoming champion in the Inter-Sect Games, I’m fighting for glory, not for your filthy cash!”

An Lin: “One hundred thousand spirit stones, that’s my final offer!”

Kuang Re’s body stopped quivering and he resumed his lazy expression. “Deal!”

Thus, An Lin and Kuang Re came to a private location before carrying out a PY exchange in secret.

Kuang Re’s expression changed upon seeing the ten vital stones before nodding and giving An Lin a knowing smile.

“Make it convincing, don’t let people figure it out.”

“No worries, my acting skills are flawless!”

…

An Lin returned to where Xuanyuan Cheng was, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart as a smile surfaced on his face.

That’s right, there was no problem in the world that spirit stones could not resolve.

If there was… then it’s definitely because not enough spirit stones were offered!

After a while, the much anticipated final finally began.

Tang Shiyuan stood on stage calmly in her flowing white robe.

Kuang Re drew out his saber, a devastating aura erupted from his body.

Boom!

The clash of the cloud sword and the saber caused a resounding boom to erupt throughout the venue, signaling the beginning of the match!

“Towering Cloud Sword!” Tang Shiyuan yelled lightly as her body became wispy and untraceable like a cloud, before charging towards Kuang Re.

Kuang Re’s saber cut out slash after slash of powerful red saber aura.

This was his signature saber technique, the Berserk Saber of Eighteen Waves, and each wave rose higher than the previous one!

The power of each of his blows began to accumulate as the saber projections he created became even more powerful. Even Tang Shiyuan did not dare to face his attacks head on and could only continue to dodge with her movement techniques.

“Use your Exquisite Cloud Dance, otherwise you won’t be able to beat me!” Kuang Re’s eyes widened in a frightening glare, appearing both freakish and imposing at the same time.

He had already planned everything out in his head. As soon as Tang Shiyuan used her Exquisite Cloud Dance, he would pretend to be defeated.

Tang Shiyuan’s Exquisite Cloud Dance was very powerful that even he could not completely counter it.

Thus, not only would it make his loss appear more realistic, but it would also ensure that he would not lose face; it was truly killing two birds with one stone.

Kuang Re’s Berserk Saber of Eighteen Waves reached its final wave and an extremely brilliant red sword projection appeared, tearing the ground apart and sweeping up gale-force winds with its awesome might.

In the face of this extremely powerful slash, Tang Shiyuan did not dodge, but instead raised her sword and slashed a white sword projection towards it in response.

Boom!

The saber projection and the sword projection collided, creating an interwoven energy wave of red and white, completely tearing the battlefield apart.

A white figure flew into the air with blood spilling from her mouth, her delicate features suddenly became very pale. Her cloud sword also slipped from her grasp before falling to the ground with a clang.

Tang Shiyuan laid on the ground with a hand on her chest and a painful expression. “I concede!”

Her clear, crisp voice reverberated throughout the venue into everyone’s ears.

Kuang Re was completely dumbfounded as his eyes looked even more bloodshot.

Wait… what just happened, did he just win?

Tang Shiyuan was not that weak, surely?

How was she unable to even handle the Berserk Saber of Eighteen Waves, this could not be real!

“The Inter-Sect Games final winner… Kuang Re!” The elder acting as the referee announced the final victor.

Loud cheers erupted within the venue, in particular from the Heavenly Dawn Peak disciples; all of whom were shouting Kuang Re’s name with excitement.

Some of the male disciples who were fans of Tang Shiyuan were dissatisfied with Kuang Re’s handling of her, but the power gap between the two was apparent so they could not really say anything either.

Within the whole venue, An Lin was the only that wore an expression similar to Kuang Re.

He stared blankly at Tang Shiyuan, his mouth completely agape, unable to recover from his shock.

[Ding Dong… The host has failed to complete the special mission, now deducting ten vital stones.]

The system notification sounded.

Within the storage ring were ninety vital stones, ten of which instantly began to vanish…

An Lin only managed to face reality now, and that was that he had failed!!!

Tang Shiyuan wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth before rising from the ground and turning her gaze to meet with Elder Sun of the Heavenly Dawn Peak.

Both of them then averted their gazes at the same time.

Elder Sun from the Heavenly Dawn Peak had given her twenty thousand spirit stones so she would lay off a bit during the final.

Everyone knew what that entailed.

Tang Shiyuan’s chance of beating Kuang Re was less than 20% anyway. Now that Elder Sun had given her twenty thousand spirit stones, in addition to the twenty thousand spirit stones in prizes, it made a total of forty thousand spirit stones.

That was ten thousand spirit stones more than even what the champion would receive.

Only an idiot would refuse such a lucrative offer!

To fight for the glory of becoming the champion? F*ck that!

They were all personal disciples of the Sect Leader anyway, what use would they have for glory?

Tang Shiyuan smiled brightly. The forty thousand spirit stones in addition to the thirty thousand spirit stones she had were enough to buy an elementary rank protective spirit tool, and this was also coupled with the elementary rank offensive type spirit tool that she would receive as a reward.

This combination… it was simply far too perfect!

Elder Sun of the Heavenly Dawn Peak was also smiling widely. There was no problem in this world that could not be resolved by spirit stones.

If there was… then it’s definitely because not enough spirit stones were offered!

If An Lin knew what Elder Sun was thinking, he would probably vomit blood with rage.

After all… he was the one that had offered the most spirit stones!!
