Chapter 110: Go Big! Huge Gains!

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Go Big! Huge Gains!

Luo Cheng’s thoughts were interrupted, and a flicker of anger rose in his heart.

It seemed that unless he taught this mad dog a lesson, the other party would not back down!

Clap!

Closing the secret manual, Luo Cheng looked at Gao Ming with a cold expression and said indifferently:

“Indeed, I can’t fully comprehend it. How about this: let’s make a bet. Three days from now, we will compete in Cloud Shadow Step here. Whoever loses will apologize and admit their mistakes. Dare to accept?”

These words sent the crowd into an uproar.

Everyone stared at Luo Cheng in disbelief, as if he were a lunatic.

“He must be out of his mind to challenge Gao Ming in Cloud Shadow Step!”

“Gao Ming has been practicing Mist Shadow Step for quite some time. Even if he hasn’t fully mastered it, he’s not far from it. Luo Cheng, having just risen to the Outer Sect, should only just have started learning! Does he really think he can surpass Gao Ming after just one lecture?”

“Ridiculous! He really thinks he’s some kind of Martial Arts genius! Gao Ming, accept his challenge and make him apologize in front of everyone. Let’s see how he’ll show his face again!”

The surrounding Outer Disciples were all indignant, their gazes burning with anger.

A mere servant disciple who had ascended was nothing but trash! How dare he act so arrogantly!

Gao Ming’s face lit up with a sinister grin as he sneered:

“Challenge me in Mist Shadow Step? Fine! But a mere public apology is too light a wager!”

“Oh? Then what do you propose?” Luo Cheng asked calmly.

Gao Ming smirked. “You’ve got a reward of 500 Essence Energy Pills for taking first place in the Green Cloud Trial, right? Let’s up the stakes. Each of us bets 500 Essence Energy Pills! If you don’t dare, apologize now!”

Luo Cheng frowned slightly.

This guy was clearly eyeing his Essence Energy Pills! How utterly greedy!

Since that was the case, there was no need for Luo Cheng to be polite. He coldly replied:

“500 Essence Energy Pills are too few! However many Essence Energy Pills you have, I’ll match it all!”

Gao Ming was momentarily stunned. He had expected Luo Cheng to refuse and was trying to provoke him. He hadn’t anticipated Luo Cheng’s audacity. With a twisted grin, he said:

“You said it! I have exactly 574 Essence Energy Pills!”

“Heh. If you’re so enthusiastic, I’ll round it up. Let’s make it 1,000 Essence Energy Pills to liven things up. What do you think?”

A plump Outer Disciple stepped forward with a chuckle.

The others, seeing this, felt a surge of jealousy, hating themselves for not stepping up first.

After all, Gao Ming was in the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm and had been practicing Mist Shadow Step for a while!

In comparison, Luo Cheng was viewed as a worthless trash far beneath him.

This wasn’t even a bet—it was free Essence Energy Pills!

Luo Cheng glanced at the plump Outer Disciple, smirked disdainfully, and lazily said:

“And you think that’s worth showing off? How poor are you?”

Since they wanted to play, Luo Cheng decided to go big!

He was determined to teach these Outer Disciples who looked down on him a harsh lesson!

The plump Outer Disciple’s face darkened, but there was nothing he could do since he couldn’t produce more Essence Energy Pills.

Another Outer Disciple, infuriated, shouted:

“Damn it! And how many Essence Energy Pills do you have?”

Luo Cheng raised two fingers. “Two thousand!”

Gasp!

The crowd sucked in a sharp breath, stunned.

No one had expected Luo Cheng to possess such a huge fortune.

Two thousand Essence Energy Pills, equivalent to twenty million taels!

To an ordinary Outer Disciple, this was an astronomical fortune!

For a moment, many people showed greedy expressions, their eyes gleaming with lust.

“Too arrogant! I’ll add 300 Essence Energy Pills!” someone shouted.

“I’ll pitch in 200!”

“I’ll add 220 Essence Energy Pills!”

“…”

Like awakening from a dream, more and more voices raised their stakes. In no time, the total reached 2,000 Essence Energy Pills!

Those who couldn’t join the bet looked dejected.

To have missed such a golden opportunity felt as painful as being sliced open.

“Two thousand Essence Energy Pills—anything else to say?”

Gao Ming coldly stared at Luo Cheng.

“See you in three days!”

Luo Cheng couldn’t be bothered to waste words and turned to leave.

“Gao Ming, it’s all on you in three days!”

“Haha, that idiot let himself be provoked with just a few words. He doesn’t even know what he’s gotten himself into by accepting! Utterly foolish!”

“Gao Ming, spend the next two days refining your Mist Shadow Step. Don’t let anything go wrong!”

Watching Luo Cheng’s departing figure, the Outer Disciples who had bet heavily were gloating, while a few cautious ones reminded Gao Ming.

Gao Ming sneered dismissively, “Don’t worry. My Mist Shadow Step is almost at entry-level! Even if you gave that trash three months, he wouldn’t catch up!”

Gao Ming was bursting with excitement.

In three days, he planned to invite Lady Hua as well!

He wanted to crush Luo Cheng in front of Lady Hua, trample him underfoot, and grind him into dust!

“With that, my mind is at ease.”

The other Outer Disciples smiled.

They were well aware of the difficulty of training Mist Shadow Step.

Three days would make no difference whatsoever.

All of them were eagerly anticipating the passing of three days!

Outside Song Yuan Valley.

Luo Cheng stopped in his tracks and gazed into the valley, muttering to himself:

“They’re probably dreaming of how to split my Essence Energy Pills! I wonder if they’ll still be smiling three days from now.”

With a cold smile, Luo Cheng cast aside his stray thoughts and quickened his pace toward Cuiliu Peak.

He couldn’t wait to return and train!

This lecture had been profoundly rewarding for him!

Although Mist Shadow Step training was part of it, Luo Cheng’s greatest gain was Elder Yan Feng’s explanation of Martial Arts theories and cultivation insights.

Previously, Luo Cheng’s training had relied solely on instinct and rigid adherence to steps.

He understood the “what” but not the “why.”

Elder Yan Feng’s detailed theories and cultivation experiences gave Luo Cheng a new perspective, opening a door to higher realms of cultivation!

Now Luo Cheng finally understood why so many people fought tooth and nail to join the Three Great Sects.

Just one lecture was priceless beyond measure!

Replaying Elder Yan Feng’s teachings in his mind, Luo Cheng became deeply engrossed.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at Cuiliu Peak.

Two Outer Disciples passed by.

“Huh, that guy walks really fast! Wow, he’s getting faster!” one Outer Disciple exclaimed in surprise as Luo Cheng brushed past them.

The female disciple beside him cast a glance at Luo Cheng, then sneered, “What’s so special about it? He’s just walking normally.”

“Is that so?”

After taking a closer look, the other disciple also found nothing unusual and shook his head with a laugh. “Maybe it was just my imagination.”

If Gao Ming had been there, he would’ve been utterly stunned, his jaw on the ground and his eyes wide in disbelief!

Luo Cheng’s current steps were precisely the foundational moves of Mist Shadow Step! After practicing for two to three months, Gao Ming’s Mist Shadow Step had only reached this level!

“Huh!”

When Luo Cheng snapped out of his trance, he found himself standing at the entrance of his courtyard.

“What just happened?”

Luo Cheng felt puzzled.

He had merely been recalling Elder Yan Feng’s lecture, yet before realizing it, he’d arrived at his doorstep!

“Was I using Mist Shadow Step just now?”

A brief moment of thought yielded clarity to Luo Cheng.

His movements just now were indeed the foundations of Mist Shadow Step!

He had subconsciously executed them!

“It looks like I’m not far from mastering Mist Shadow Step’s entry level!”

Luo Cheng felt a surge of excitement and promptly entered the courtyard, ready to seize the moment and completely break through to the entry-level of Mist Shadow Step!
