Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Chapter 365 Still Acting

Jin Tianlu went and retrieved the spirit stones that the two of them had won.

One to four.

Xu Hao and Jin Tianlu each placed a hundred high-grade spirit stones, and soon earned four hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Xu Hao at least went up and fought a match, and he was still acting seriously, while Jin Tianlu did nothing and just made money lying down.

So after Jin Tianlu received the spirit stones, he said generously.

"Let's go, brother. Meng Yuxuan, I'll make the arrangements!"

Mengyuxuan was the brothel that Jin Tianlu frequented, and countless cultivators in Qilan City lingered there, reluctant to leave.

Xu Hao replied, "Don't rush, let's see who my next opponent is first."

He didn't expend much energy at all; he's still basically at his peak and can continue fighting.

But since we've already acted like that, we naturally have to go all the way and pretend to be exhausted and need time to recover.

"Right, right, I almost forgot about the important matter," Jin Tianlu patted his head, realizing he had been completely blinded by the four hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Jin Tianlu's income is not low, but in the past, it would have taken a lot of time and persuasion to earn so many spirit stones. Now, all he has to do is place a bet, which is so easy.

Before even a cup of tea had been brewed, Xu Hao's next opponent had already appeared.

Jin Tianlu and Xu Hao went directly to the betting area of ​​the City Lord's Mansion, where they could see information about both sides.

Xu Hao's odds have jumped to 6 to 1 this time.

Because his opponent, Guan Min, was at the eighth level of the Heavenly Palace, two levels higher than him.

Once you reach the upper three realms, it's already difficult to challenge those above your level. However, the cultivators who come to participate in the Hundred Cities War selection competition all have some talent. There are indeed quite a few cultivators who can challenge those above one level, but those who can challenge those above two levels become very rare.

That's why Xu Hao's odds are so high, while his opponent, Guan Min, at the eighth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, has very low odds.

Jin Tianlu and Xu Hao hadn't discussed it beforehand, but upon seeing this situation, their expressions both turned grim at almost the same time.

"Damn it! We've run into someone at the eighth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm! Brother, your luck is a bit bad."

Jin Tianlu knew that Xu Hao could overcome one level, but he didn't think Xu Hao had the ability to overcome two levels and win, so he was genuinely worried.

It wasn't that she was worried about Xu Hao's safety, but rather that she wouldn't be able to make as much money as before.

Xu Hao's expression changed drastically because he was still acting.

Having followed Xu Chu for so long, he has indeed learned a lot of acting skills, which most people wouldn't be able to tell.

Xu Hao replied with a livid face, "My luck is a bit bad. It seems I have to stop here."

"Hey...."

Jin Tianlu patted him on the shoulder, "It's alright. With your cultivation level, this is all about participation. Winning or losing doesn't matter. The important thing is to gain experience."

"Moreover, we've already made a small profit, so participating in this selection competition was well worth it."

Even though what he said was right, Xu Hao still kept his head down, looking sullen.

Jin Tianlu then said, "In that case, let's go to Mengyuxuan and relax."

"it is good!"

Xu Hao suddenly raised his head, looking like he was giving up, and followed Jin Tianlu to Mengyuxuan, which was not far from here.

Xu Hao had been to the brothels of Duanshan City before, and he had to admit that the Immortal Realm was different; it was on a completely different level in every aspect, with extremely high quality.

Jin Tianlu went upstairs after listening to the music, while Xu Hao stayed downstairs.

They stayed at Mengyuxuan for nearly two hours before leaving, their clothes reeking of wine and fragrance.

Jin Tianlu, still a little dazed from his recent encounter with a woman, nearly bumped into someone after leaving the house.

"Damn it! How can you not see someone this big? Are you blind?"

The man who was almost hit by Jin Tianlu was tall, broad-shouldered, and had a fierce-looking, bushy beard.

Jin Tianlu frowned subconsciously, but quickly changed his expression and waved his hands repeatedly.

"I really didn't see it, please forgive me."

The burly man with a bushy beard had a ferocious expression, looking like he was about to devour someone.

"If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have bumped into him. Do you think you can just get away with a simple 'sorry'?"

Jin Tianlu remained smiling. "So, what do you want to do?"

"Kneel down and admit your mistake, and I'll pretend this never happened," the burly man with a bushy beard said, looking down at Jin Tianlu.

Jin Tianlu chuckled and waved his hand casually.

"A brainless idiot."

He strolled forward unsteadily, completely ignoring the other person.

But upon hearing this, the burly man with the bushy beard was already burning with rage and on the verge of losing control.

"What the hell did you say?! Stop right there!"

He flashed forward, blocking Jin Tianlu's path, pointed at him, and said fiercely.

"Say what you just said again if you dare!!"

A strong killing intent filled his eyes, and his overwhelming anger surged towards Jin Tianlu.

Jin Tianlu, looking drunk, raised his head and met his gaze, speaking calmly.

"A brainless idiot."

The burly man with the bushy beard was instantly enraged, and it looked like he was about to lose control and attack.

"Cough cough..."

A faint cough came from the side.

The burly man with the bushy beard was startled when he saw the clothes on the other man's body. He hesitated to lower his raised hand, his expression constantly changing, before finally giving Jin Tianlu a cold glare.

"You wait for me!"

After uttering those harsh words, the burly man with the bushy beard turned and left, almost as if he were fleeing in panic.

The reason he suddenly changed from being furious and wanting to fight was because the person coughing was a passing city guard.

Private fights are strictly prohibited within Qilan City. Unless he is the young master of the Wu family, if he dares to make a move, he will be completely finished.

So even if the burly man with the bushy beard had a few more lives and was even stronger, he still wouldn't dare to make a move.

This is one of the reasons why Jin Tianlu is so fearless.

He was somewhat disappointed to see that the burly man with the bushy beard ultimately did not make a move.

"Pity."

He actually hoped the burly man with the bushy beard would lose control and take action, because that way Jin Tianlu wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the other party would be finished off immediately.

This was just a minor incident, and Jin Tianlu and Xu Hao didn't care. They leisurely arrived at the training ground.

"Are you going to place another bet this time?" Jin Tianlu asked in a low voice, by which time his drunkenness had completely dissipated.

Xu Hao looked hesitant, stood there thinking for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, looking like he was going all out.

"I'll go all out! This time I'll bet four hundred high-grade spirit stones. If I lose, I'll just pretend I never won before."

Jin Tianlu gave him a thumbs up.

"I love your fighting spirit, bro! I'm on your side!!"

That being said, Jin Tianlu only bet on Xu Hao to win, and did not bet 400 high-grade spirit stones like him, since he felt that Xu Hao's chances of winning were rather small from all aspects.

After placing his bet, Xu Hao went to the area below the martial arts arena he was assigned to. At that moment, his opponent, Guan Min, also appeared. To their surprise, this man was the same arrogant, bearded giant from before.

Guan Min was slightly taken aback when he saw the two of them, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, what a stroke of luck! My opponent is actually you!"

Guan Min was already furious about what had just happened and was thinking of venting his anger by torturing his opponent.

To his utter surprise, his opponent turned out to be Jin Tianlu's accomplice.

Not to mention him, Xu Hao and Jin Tianlu also didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Xu Hao immediately looked apprehensive, with even a hint of hesitation on his face.

Even at this point, he's still acting.

Seeing that he wanted to give up, Guan Min quickly used reverse psychology.

"Kid, you're not chickening out and trying to admit defeat, are you?"

Xu Hao fell for it immediately, and said defiantly, "Who's chickening out! We're not even sure who'll win or lose yet!"

“That’s right, let’s have a showdown on stage then,” Guan Min said, his tone much more amiable than before, no longer as aggressive and menacing as he had been.

He was afraid that he might scare Xu Hao into admitting defeat, which would not only prevent him from venting his anger but would also make him even angrier, and he might not be able to sleep for several nights in a row.

Guan Min and Xu Hao went up to the martial arts stage one after the other.

Jin Tianlu quickly transmitted his voice, "Brother, if things aren't going well, just admit defeat and step down. Don't try to hold on!"

Under normal circumstances, a Heavenly Palace Eighth Level cultivator has the strength to instantly kill a Heavenly Palace Sixth Level cultivator, which is why he is so worried.

"Don't worry, I will do my best," Xu Hao replied earnestly.
