Chapter 2719: Chapter 2694: Houtu Divine Thunder Art

Lin Bai stood in the Fighting Arena, and after a brief meeting with Xu Guang, since there was no deep-seated hatred between the two, now that the martial arts competition was over, they chatted casually for a while before Lin Bai got up to take his leave.

Xu Guang did not try to keep Lin Bai, as he had already discerned that Lin Bai was a Sword Cultivator and not suited to inherit the Taigu Shattered Star Fist he practiced.

Watching Lin Bai’s distant figure, Xu Guang sighed somewhat sadly, "Such a promising talent, what a pity that he is a Sword Cultivator, it seems I’ll need to seek someone else."

Leaving the Fighting Arena, Lin Bai went to claim the merits from this battle, and then headed straight to the Elegant Pavilion.

Yellow Character No.1 Pavilion, Lin Bai pushed the door open and entered, noticing the messy state of the room which seemed less of a place where a fight had occurred, and more like a venue for a thunderous tantrum!

Lin Bai entered and saw Madam Yang sitting on the floor in agony, her elegant clothes scattered about, revealing much of her fair skin.

Meanwhile, the four pretty boys stood trembling with fear in the corner.

After Lin Bai entered, he whispered, "What happened here? Was there a fight?"

Upon hearing the voice, Madam Yang lifted her head and looked at the Sword Demon, reluctantly laughing.

Lin Bai could see the bitterness in Madam Yang’s expression, and he chuckled, saying, "I’ve won the competition, Madam, you should be happy! After all, my odds were so high, one to a hundred, enough for the Zhao Family to earn handsomely!"

Madam Yang laughed self-deprecatingly, "Sword Demon, why mock me here, I suppose you’ve already guessed it, we didn’t place the merits on you at all!"

Lin Bai smiled faintly, not directly responding to Madam Yang’s words, just casually saying, "I don’t care whom you’ve placed the merits on!"

"I’ve fulfilled the promise I made to you, and now it’s time for you to honor your commitment."

"We agreed that I would fight three battles for you in the Fighting Arena in exchange for information about the other volumes of the ’Five Elements Divine Thunder Scripture’!"

Lin Bai looked at Madam Yang, calmly asking.

Now that the battle with Xu Guang had concluded, Lin Bai had also completed the three matches in the Fighting Arena.

Madam Yang chuckled lightly, "Fine! I’ll tell you!"

"Several million miles away from Black Water City, there’s another great city named Houtu City!"

"Houtu City isn’t as chaotic as Black Water City!"

"In Houtu City, there is only one prominent family, the Wang Family!"

"The Wang Family is the ruler of Houtu City!"

"Moreover, the Wang Family has historically inherited a Divine Thunder Art, known as the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’!"

"Although few Wang Family warriors practice the Houtu Divine Thunder Skill because of their ancestors’ dictum that this skill is fundamental to the family’s foundation, Wang Family warriors don’t readily transmit it to outsiders!"

Madam Yang looked at Lin Bai, speaking calmly.

Upon hearing Madam Yang’s words, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, "Houtu City, Wang Family, Houtu Divine Thunder Skill!"

Madam Yang said, "I’ve already informed you, and I previously warned you that even if I told you the whereabouts of the other volumes, they would be difficult to obtain!"

"Obtaining the Houtu Divine Thunder Skill from the Wang Family is almost impossible!"

"Now that I’ve told you, our agreement is considered fulfilled."

Madam Yang spoke.

Lin Bai nodded slightly, "Farewell!"

After acquiring the desired information, Lin Bai had no further reason to remain.

As he turned to leave the Yellow Character No.1 Pavilion, just before pushing the door to leave, Lin Bai softly said, "Madam Yang, I told you, I wouldn’t lose!"

"You should have believed me and placed the merits on me; then you wouldn’t be in such a dire situation now!"

After saying this, Lin Bai exited the room.

With a series of bitter laughs, Madam Yang shook her head without speaking.

Since Lin Bai and Madam Yang began collaborating, Lin Bai had assured her: Feel free to arrange the opponents; I won’t lose!

At the time, Madam Yang only thought Lin Bai was speaking casually, but today, after witnessing Lin Bai’s victory over Xu Guang, she realized that Lin Bai wasn’t lying.

He genuinely wouldn’t lose!

Lin Bai defeating Xu Guang brought the greatest joy to those wealth-minded individuals who favored betting against the odds.

They wagered hundreds of thousands on Lin Bai, now multiplying their winnings a hundredfold, turning into billions!

The biggest earners were Ban Ye, Fatty, and Tang Yuezhi.

Ban Ye wagered a million merits on Lin Bai, now transforming into a wealthy individual with ten billion merits!

Fatty also wagered three hundred thousand merits on Lin Bai, now becoming three billion.

Tang Yuezhi was the most terrifying, betting five million merits, now becoming fifty billion merits!

Undoubtedly, Ban Ye and Tang Yuezhi are the biggest victors in this competition!

Lin Bai left the Yellow Character No.1 Pavilion, intending to leave the Fighting Arena.

Walking down the corridor, Tai Yi approached with a smile, saying, "Sword Demon brother, congratulations on winning the competition!"

Lin Bai replied with a smile, "Tai Yi Manager!"

Tai Yi stepped forward with a smile and said, "Several important figures from Black Water City want to meet you, including the strong ones and patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans, as well as the Young Lord of Houtu City!"

After Lin Bai defeated Xu Guang, his renown spread far and wide within Black Water City.

Naturally, many families wish to recruit Lin Bai.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "No need, I’m tired; I won’t meet anyone today!"

Tai Yi quietly said, "Alright then, I’ll decline on your behalf, Sword Demon brother!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, but then his eyes flashed, calling out to Tai Yi, "Tai Yi Manager, did you say the Young Lord of Houtu City wants to meet me?"

Tai Yi stopped, smiling as he said, "Yes, in Xu Guang’s first battle, many strong ones were attracted, with Houtu City sending warriors from several million miles around!"

"Among them, the Young Master from Wang Family, also the Young City Lord of Houtu City, named Wang Qian!"

Lin Bai pondered for a moment, saying, "I won’t meet anyone else, but I can see the Young City Lord from Houtu City!"

Tai Yi was taken aback; Lin Bai refused to meet the Eight Great Clans of Black Water City but agreed to meet the Young City Lord of Houtu City. This surprised Tai Yi.

"Alright, I’ll make arrangements!"

Tai Yi nodded.

Immediately, Tai Yi went off into the shadows, took out the Sound Transmission Token, and conversed with someone unknown.

After some time, Tai Yi said, "Sword Demon brother, Young City Lord Wang Qian invites you to gather tonight at the Celestial Immortal Tower!"

Lin Bai nodded, "Alright, I’ll be prepared to go!"

Tai Yi nodded with a smile, chatted casually with Lin Bai for a bit, and then escorted Lin Bai out of the Fighting Arena.

Upon leaving the Fighting Arena, Lin Bai returned to the Tang Family!
