Chapter 3 Betting in the Martial Palace
Seven days later, he left the city's martial arts hall.

The martial arts arena was full of people. Except for the talented disciples of the Martial Palace, the rest of the people were either high-ranking members of the Zhang clan or prominent figures from other forces in the city.

On weekdays, people often ask for fights in the martial arts arena. If it were an ordinary battle between martial arts disciples, it would naturally not be able to attract so many people to watch.But today is different. Both sides are the top young talents from Licheng, and one of them is from the main line of the Zhang clan.The public confrontation between these two people also symbolizes the pinnacle battle among the young disciples of Wu Dian's generation.

On the high platform on the right side of the martial arts arena, there are several huge stone tables.One of the stone tables was filled with jade plates and delicacies. Everything here was a delicacy that ordinary tribesmen would never taste.At this moment, several people were sitting on the stone table and communicating.

"Wu Xiang, you did a bad job this time. You know that Mr. Yu Xiang is already an innate being, so this battle is not fair at all, so why should you publicize it so that everyone in the city knows about it."

"Haha, Zhang Heng's talent is obvious to all. His progress in the past six months can be said to have been rapid. It will be of great benefit to him to jump up the ranks and fight with Xiantian. There is no fairness or unfairness." Known as Wu The lean middle-aged man who was teaching said with a smile.

"That's not what you said. Who doesn't know that you, Mr. Wu, have attached yourself to the clan leader a long time ago? You just want to build momentum for that boy Zhang Yuxiang." Someone else mocked.

The remaining people also talked aloud.These people are all teachers in the Martial Palace. Some of them are from the Zhang clan, and some are not.For example, Wu Jiaoxi was born in a tribe outside the city. In his early years, he worked under the head of the Zhang family, and later he found a job as a teacher in the martial arts hall.Zhang Yuxiang is one of the responsible disciples of Professor Wu.

Outside the martial arts arena, Zhang Heng and Zhang Chuyu were walking side by side on the road.

"Brother Heng, as expected, you were right. There are so many people in the Martial Palace today." Zhang Chuyu murmured in a low voice.

"Zhang Yuxiang dares to directly declare a challenge, so naturally he is not afraid that I will not come. The fact that he asked me to fight has been spread throughout the tribe in the past few days. I think someone is deliberately spreading the news."

After all, Zhang Heng had been struggling in the workplace for so many years in his previous life, and he had seen too many of these tricks.In this life, under the pressure of constant fighting in the Eastern Wasteland Plain, the tribal people are extremely aggressive and never afraid of challenges.As a disciple of the Martial Palace, if he avoids fighting, he will probably be laughed at for the rest of his life.

As Zhang Heng and the two walked into the martial arts arena, they were immediately looked at.

Zhang Heng was unmoved and walked straight to the center of the martial arts field. There stood a tall and plump young man. This man was Zhang Yuxiang, the grandson of the clan leader.

"Brother Zhang Heng, it's been a long time." Zhang Yuxiang was arrogant by nature, and after saying this, he seemed to be planning to take action.

In fact, he was really impatient and wanted to defeat Zhang Heng openly and avenge his previous humiliation.Thinking that Zhang Yuxiang, as the grandson of the clan leader, had a very important position in the clan, he should have stood out among the many disciples in the Martial Palace.However, in the past six months, the confrontation with Zhang Heng has resulted in more losses than wins, and the opponent is even slightly younger than him.

Now that he has broken through the Xiantian and is about to reach his peak, according to the rules, he can no longer stay in the Martial Palace to practice for a long time and must start accepting tribal tasks.Before leaving, if you can defeat this former opponent with a crushing force, why not do it?
"Hold on, since this is Brother Yuxiang's last battle in the Martial Palace, I think we need to add some bonuses. How about we make a bet?" Zhang Heng said calmly.

"Oh? What do you want to bet on?" Zhang Yuxiang looked suspicious. "This kid is so confident, does he think it is possible for the weak to defeat the strong?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but put away a bit of contempt.

"How about just betting on five hundred spirit shells?"

"Will you bet and admit defeat?"

"That's natural." Zhang Heng snickered in his heart.Lingbei is a currency commonly used by many tribes in the Eastern Barren Plain. Normally, one Lingbei can be exchanged for hundreds of kilograms of meat. The monthly salary of Zhang Heng's mother Liu Yun is only sixty Lingbei.

The two of them had the same thought: This wave of profit is guaranteed.

At this time, a slightly fat young man not far away coughed and said: "Both of you are from the same race. Remember to stop there and don't be cruel."

This fat middle-aged man was the referee sent by Wudian. He was a little helpless at the moment. The two people were concentrating on their own and completely ignored him as the referee.

"Zheng-"

Hearing a long groan, a long knife suddenly appeared out of thin air in Zhang Yuxiang's hand, and the blade trembled.This sword was forged by the master craftsman of the Zhang clan. If it is blessed by divine power or innate true energy, it will be even more powerful. It is a rare magical weapon.

"Storage magic weapon." Some people around showed envy. Even a storage magic weapon with a small internal space is extremely valuable. It is obvious that Zhang Yuxiang has a lot of treasures on him.

"Isn't it a bit too much for Mr. Yuxiang to use his sword to deal with people who have not yet entered the innate world?" A young man from the Zhang clan questioned.

"What do you know? A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. This is called respecting the opponent." Some people took the initiative to defend Zhang Yuxiang.

Zhang Yuxiang and Zhang Heng faced each other from a distance and said proudly: "Show your weapons."

"No." Zhang Heng shook his head.He practices the body refining of gods and demons, so he doesn't rely much on the power of weapons at the acquired stage. Now at the innate stage, ordinary weapons may not even be able to withstand a casual blow from him and will break apart.Of course, if it is a high-level magic weapon that can only be used by true practitioners, it will naturally increase his combat power.It's a pity that although the Zhang clan has this kind of treasure, it is not within his reach.

"Then I won't bully you. I'll give you three moves first." Zhang Yuxiang was obviously confident. "The advantage is mine!" he thought secretly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.An extremely powerful wave of divine power suddenly appeared on Zhang Heng's body, and then his body was surrounded by a huge fire dragon and a huge water dragon. The center of the martial arts arena seemed to turn into a world of water and fire.

"He has actually cultivated the Scarlet Bright Nine Heavens Diagram to the innate realm!" On the high platform in the distance, several teachers suddenly showed shocked expressions on their faces. "This is the most difficult body-training technique in the legend. I tried to practice it at first, but when I first sensed the Lunar Star and Sun Star, I found it difficult to continue, so I gave up."

Among them, Professor Wu was shocked and even a little regretful, "With the Nine Heavens of Red Brightness to break through the innate, I'm afraid Zhang Heng's divine power is already comparable to that of ordinary gods and demons in the late innate stage of body refining. Even if we and a few others fight against him, the outcome is uncertain." , not to mention Yu Xiang, a newly born innate Qi practitioner. It seems that the outcome of this battle has been decided."

Lu Jiaoxi on the side looked astonished. He had met Zhang Heng in the Martial Palace that day, and he had sensed a sense of threat from the latter. He did not expect that Zhang Heng was already an innate creature.

"He is only less than 17 years old." A teacher said with emotion, "He is really a monster."

At this moment, Zhang Yuxiang's face on the field was extremely solemn. He could sense Zhang Heng's divine power, which was as deep as the vast ocean. Naturally, he no longer cared about the nonsense of "giving three moves first".

"I didn't expect that Zhang Heng's clan brother has also broken through the innate. I admire you, I admire you, and you will take my sword first." Then he leaped out, used his true energy to urge the sword in his hand, and in an instant, several sword lights struck Zhang Heng with lightning speed. .

"It's Zhang's famous Falling Star Slashing Sword Technique! I didn't expect that Zhang Yuxiang could practice this sword technique to such an extent at such a young age!" Someone recognized the sword technique used by Zhang Yuxiang and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhang Heng still stood still, without even raising his eyes. He had the power of spiritual thoughts. If he really had the intention to kill, he could kill the opponent's head in an instant.He raised his hand slightly, and the dragons of water and fire came out, immediately drowning the rays of sword light.

"Break it!" Zhang Yuxiang looked at the surging dragon of water and fire. While trying to resist it with his sword skills, he pulled out a large number of talismans, including divine power talismans and protective talismans, but most of them were offensive talismans. .

Seeing this scene, Zhang Heng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "What a prodigal son."

Seeing that Zhang Yuxiang could not forcibly neutralize the opponent's attack with his own true energy, he immediately used the power of the talisman to protect his body, and then used the flying technique to rise into the air, trying to fight Zhang Hengyou.

"I will retreat strategically first. God and Demon Refining is good at close combat, but his speed may not be as good as mine. If we wait until his power is exhausted, there is still hope of winning."

But before Zhang Yuxiang could launch his long-distance attack strategy, Zhang Heng suddenly took the initiative to disperse the two giant dragons transformed from the vitality of heaven and earth, then grabbed them with his right hand and shouted softly: "Come down here."

There was a loud roar, and a giant yellow hand suddenly appeared in the air, instantly catching Zhang Yuxiang in it. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not move at all.

"I surrender." Zhang Yuxiang said helplessly.

Zhang Heng heard the sound and slowly removed his big yellow hand from the air. He remained standing on the same spot from the beginning to the end.This capture method was accidentally realized by him when he was contemplating the Gate of Wonders in recent days, and it contained a hint of the mystery of the Way of Earth.One day, if he can understand the way of thick soil to a profound enough level, he may have the opportunity to deduce it into the legendary "supernatural power".

"Brother Zhang Heng, it seems that I am far from your opponent now." Zhang Yuxiang lamented, "I didn't expect you to be able to successfully cultivate even the Nine Heavens Map of Chiming. It's really amazing." As the grandson of the clan leader, he naturally knows that Chiming He has also seen the difficulty of Ming Jiutian Tu. It is simply not something that humans can practice.At this moment, he looked at Zhang Heng with a hint of jealousy.

Zhang Heng immediately said some polite words, but what he was thinking in his heart was: "Finally, this prodigal son didn't waste all the stack of talismans."

"In this battle, Zhang Heng wins." The referee on the side took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

In this battle, even the martial arts disciples with the lowest cultivation level present could see that Zhang Heng was far from using all his strength. It could be said that he could easily overpower Zhang Yuxiang, who had almost all the tricks at his disposal.

Zhang Yuxiang's Falling Star Slashing Sword Technique was by no means unsophisticated, and his Xiantian Yuan was by no means unpowerful. At least, except for a few martial arts teachers, few of the people present were confident that they could block the sharp sword light just now.Even so, he seemed to have no power to fight back in front of Zhang Heng.

"Five hundred spirit shells, someone will deliver them to your house later. Let's say goodbye." Zhang Yuxiang obviously didn't want to stay here longer, and left in a hurry with his entourage.I thought it would be a battle that would make me proud and proud, but I didn't expect that it would become a stepping stone for others.

"Reveal [-]% of your strength and get five hundred soul shells for nothing. The more of such a good thing, the better." Zhang Heng thought to himself.

On the high platform, several teachers were sitting at the stone table. No one made a sound, and you could hear a pin drop for a while.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid Zhang Heng has realized a trace of the true meaning of the Tao between heaven and earth." After a long time, Jiao Xue Youyou spoke.

"Yes, his realm is probably even higher than mine."

You must know that Wu Jiaoxi, the weakest among the teachers present, also has the cultivation level of the innate middle stage of God and Demon Body Refining, but they have not even scratched the surface of the Tao.

Teacher Zhang Lan, who has the highest level of cultivation among the people, said: "Zhang Heng is destined to become a monk in the Zifu, and he may have the potential to break through all things."

As soon as this was said, no one in the room objected.

"I will personally go see the clan leader and report the details of this battle. The clan must not wait for such a talented person."
