Chapter Seventy-One: Betting on a Fight

  Everyone on the scene was stunned by Jiang Hao's words, especially Lin Long, who had come together with him and was now staring at Jiang Hao in surprise. From the beginning, Lin Long had learned from Jiang Lie about Jiang Hao's strength - a four-star warrior, which was already considered a rare talent at his age.

  However, Ou Yang Sheng, as a royal prince, although he was spoiled and arrogant in his daily life, after all, had the strength of a 9-star warrior, plus the many treasures on his body, even Jiang Lie's peak 9-star warrior strength couldn't easily defeat this guy.

  Ouyang Sheng was originally just standing aside with a cold smile, but when he heard Jiang Huan's words, the fat on his face twitched and his eyes narrowed.

  "What are you, qualified to interrupt?"

  If it were Jiang Lie who said that, Ouyang Sheng wouldn't have felt anything, after all, Jiang Lie was a well-known figure in the military department. However, Jiang Hua was obviously only around ten years old and had just arrived at the military camp, yet he dared to make a bet with him, Ouyang Sheng suddenly felt belittled and was very displeased in his heart.

  "Hah, Ouyang brother, this is my third brother. What's wrong, are you afraid?" Jiang Tian teased with a glance at Ouyang Sheng and chuckled lightly.

  "Scared? Haha, young man, what kind of bet are you thinking of!" Ouyang Sheng chuckled and turned to face Jiang Hao, who was wearing a green robe.

  "Let's make this trial simpler. We won't use any martial skills, but we can gather our fighting spirit. Each of us will throw three punches at the other, and the opponent cannot dodge, only block. If after three punches, whoever is still standing, wins. How about it?"

  When Jiang Hao said this, not only was Ouyang Sheng stunned, but even Jiang Lie and others were shocked with wide eyes. It wasn't because Jiang Hao had found an easy way to deal with it for himself, but because the requirement he put forward was absolutely beneficial to Ouyang Sheng.

  Others may not know, but Jiang Tian and others are familiar with Ou Yang's skills. Although he is not strong in combat, his defensive power is unmatched among those of the same level. The golden armor he wears is a defensive treasure in itself. Even if Jiang Tian attacks, he dares not say that he can break through Ou Yang's defense in a short period of time.

  Jiang Lie was somewhat anxious and kept making eye contact with Jiang Hao, but Jiang Hao seemed not to have noticed, still gazing calmly at Ouyang Sheng, waiting for his response.

  "You can't dodge, huh? You little brat, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by me?" Ouyang Sheng thought Jiang Huan would use some trickery, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

  "Alright, kid, you come first. Don't say I'm bullying the young." Ouyang Sheng took a step forward, standing casually, not putting Jiang Huan in his eyes at all.

  "Hehe, wait a minute!" Jiang Huan waved his hand and said.

  "What's wrong, are you regretting it? No big deal, I'm a magnanimous person and won't hold it against you." Ou Yang Sheng said with a slight smile.

  Jiang Hao turned his head to take a look at Jiang Tian, who smiled and nodded. Only then did Jiang Hao speak up, "Since it's a bet, naturally there needs to be a stake."

  "Alright, young man, I'd like to see what you're capable of. What do you say we bet on?" Ou Yang Sheng said with his hands clasped behind his back, clearly also piqued by interest.

  Jiang Hao waved his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. Jiang Hao opened the lid slightly, and a faint medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air. As soon as everyone smelled the fragrance, they felt that the circulation of their internal energy seemed to speed up by half, and even Jiang Tian's eyes showed a hint of astonishment. If just the fragrance had such an effect, what would the elixir itself be like?

  "This is an unintended Dan medicine I got, Huā Líng Dān. How about it as my bet?" Jiang Huan covered the bottle cap again and said to Ouyang Sheng.

  "Top-grade elixir - the Spiritual Transformation Elixir, a divine medicine that can elevate one's cultivation. You're really willing to part with it, young master." Ouyang Sheng's eyes gleamed with greed, and as a prince of the Fei Ya Empire, his vision was still quite good. However, for an elixir of this level, he didn't have the qualifications to even touch it.

  Ouyang Sheng licked his lips and took a deep breath, saying: "Kid, I don't have such high-grade elixirs on me. What do you want me to use as collateral?"

  Jiang Hao put away the elixir and chuckled, saying: "Hehe, it's very simple. If you lose, I won't want anything from you either. You'll just give me your military department, how about that?"

  Jiang Hao's request made Ouyang Sheng stunned: "Young man, your ambition is not small, but this military position is not something you can sit on just because you want to. If there is no order from above, what I say doesn't count."

  "Alright, let's bet with him." At this time, the old man in black finally spoke up.

  "Mu Lao, who is this?" Ouyang Sheng turned around to look at the old man with a rather respectful attitude, apparently this old fellow was not a simple character.

  The old man waved his hand and said, "I can take charge of this. Besides, don't you have any confidence? If you can't even beat a young whippersnapper, then you might as well not stay in the army."

  "Yes, Old Mu." Ouyang Sheng bowed, but a ruthless smile spread across his face.

  A token appeared in Ouyang Sheng's hand, "Young man, if you win, this token will be yours. With this token, you can take control of my army."

  Jiang Hao still underestimated the temptation of entering Dan, like the Empire of Fei Ya, there are still people who enter Dan, but even if it is a high-ranking Dan master who refines the Huiling Dan, the success rate will not exceed 30%, and in the entire Empire of Fei Ya, high-ranking Dan masters cannot be said to be non-existent, but absolutely no more than a handful, as for higher-ranking Dan masters, I estimate that only the four major empires and the Dan country exist.

  Generally, high-quality elixirs are rarely seen on the market. Ordinary high-quality elixirs can sell for at least tens of millions of gold coins. As a divine medicine for advancing to the next level, the Spirit Transformation Pill is suitable for warriors below the rank of War King. For those who have been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time, even if it means bankrupting their family, they would still want to get one.

  That black-clothed old man himself was at the peak of a two-star war general's strength, but he had not made any progress in years. So when he saw Jiang Huan take out the Huā Líng Dān, he couldn't help but persuade Ouyang Sheng to gamble, originally he didn't think Ouyang Sheng would lose.

  "Alright kid, you make the first move. If you can force me to leave this spot, then I'll admit defeat." Ouyang Sheng said with his hands behind his back and a proud expression on his face.

  Jiang Hao took a few steps forward, standing still at a distance of five paces from Ouyang Sheng. He took a deep breath, and his body suddenly expanded with a burst of energy. The internal power within him accelerated its circulation, and a faint golden light began to emanate from his body. Those golden lights rapidly converged on Jiang Hao's fists.

  That's right, Jiang Hao is going to use his half-dragon body. In the three years in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Jiang Hao has gone through countless life-and-death battles, and he can now use his half-dragon body with ease, without any hesitation. This method of gathering all the dragon energy in his body into his fist is also something that Jiang Hao has recently come up with himself. After all, apart from its astonishing defensive capabilities, Jiang Hao has discovered that attacks infused with dragon energy can ignore the defenses of battle energy.

  Seeing Jiang Hao's movements and feeling the aura he emitted, Ouyang Sheng's face had already changed. The pale golden light made him dare not look straight at it, and a trembling fear was transmitted in his sea of consciousness.

  With his right foot as the center, Jiang Hao's body had already turned around, and the golden color on his fists gradually formed a golden light circle in the air, which was both dazzling and dangerous. At this moment, Ouyang Sheng's face was filled with solemnity, his fists clenched tightly, and his own breath was also mobilized. The armor under the infusion of battle energy actually changed from golden yellow to white, forming a thin layer of light film covering his body.

  Like a spinning top, Jiang Hao's fists kept swinging, his body rapidly rotating, yet his right foot never left that tiny patch of ground. What made Ouyang Sheng's heart palpitate was that the battle aura released by Jiang Hao didn't exert too much pressure on him, but instead was completely contained within the pale golden light circle spinning around him.

  A golden light enveloped Jiang Huan's rapidly spinning body, making it impossible to see his figure. As a strong warrior, neither Jiang Tian nor the black-clothed old man could help but feel the terrifying power that was constantly rising within the golden light.

  "Full defense!" The old man in black hurriedly shouted, seeing that Jiang Huan's eyes no longer held a scornful gaze.

  Ou Yang Sheng didn't wait for the black-robed elder's reminder, his entire body bursting with white light, apparently the armor was also being stimulated to its limit. His eyes were fixed on that golden light, his hands clenched tightly, a pale yellow light array slowly appeared, and a thick earthy aura suddenly burst forth. At this moment, Ou Yang Sheng could be said to be as solid as gold soup, with not a single flaw in his entire body.

  "Come on, kid." Ouyang Sheng was ready and shouted in Jiang Hao's direction.

  For a moment, everyone on the scene held their breath, and with just one touch, it would erupt!
