The first volume debuts Chapter 115 Guiding Longjiang
Although Long Jiang is a disciple of the Corpse Demon Sect , his aptitude is not strong. He has remained in the Spiritual Foundation Realm for a long time and has not received any special training in the Corpse Demon Sect.
In the fiercely competitive Corpse Demon Sect, Long Jiang, who has no backing, has to be extremely cautious in his survival.
After a few years, Long Jiang's cultivation level was still increasing very slowly, and he was not taken seriously, so he was sent out of the sect and came to the Demon City.
On the contrary, Long Jiang prefers life in the Demon City. The betting in the Arena is extremely exciting, and there is no huge competitive pressure from the Corpse Demon Cult.
Long Jiang also participates in gladiatorial fights from time to time and ranks sixth in the Spiritual Base Realm, but he prefers betting.
With the appearance of Li Xuanfeng, his originally easy-to-lose bets were directly reversed, making him even more enthusiastic about betting.
Nowadays, the first thing Long Jiang does when he comes to the arena every day is to look for Li Xuanfeng.
What makes Longjiang feel strange is that with Li Xuanfeng's profound knowledge of gladiatorial combat, his fighting ability should be quite high, so why doesn't he just go down and participate in the fight?
As Li Xuanfeng expected, in the fight in which Wen Xi of the Blood Spirit Sect appeared, he quickly gained the upper hand. His opponent was drained of all his blood by his Blood Spirit secret technique and died!
Long Jiang's face was full of smiles. He had bet a lot of spirit stones and made a lot of money this time.
"Brother Lin, you have such a sharp vision. Pick two people to fight. I will definitely bet on you." Long Jiang encouraged Li Xuanfeng with a big laugh.
“To be honest, I can see the fighting power of others only because of a secret method I got by chance and luck. My fighting power is weak, how dare I go on stage and embarrass myself, and still have to worry about my life!” Li Xuanfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Long Jiang still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were flickering as he wondered whether what Li Xuanfeng said was true or not.
Having always lived in the Demonic Cult Continent, he had long been accustomed to being cautious and would not easily believe what Li Xuanfeng said.
However, Long Jiang was still very confident in his heart. Li Xuanfeng was only in the middle stage of the spiritual foundation. Even if he was powerful, he could only fight against those in the late stage of the spiritual foundation at most. Compared with him, there was still a big gap.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, who do you think is the most suitable person for me to fight with? Who will gain the most?" Long Jiang asked Li Xuanfeng with a smile.
He wanted to use Li Xuanfeng's accurate estimate of his fighting ability to participate in the fight, and it would be best to choose an opponent who looked more suspenseful but could actually be easily defeated.
This is the only way to maximize your own interests, because by participating in the fights, you can not only get the appearance fee according to your ranking, but also get a share of the profits of the arena.
The more suspenseful the fight is, the more difficult it is for the audience to bet correctly, the greater the rewards in the arena will be, and the larger the share the winner will get.
Because of this, there are many newcomers who appear in the arena for the first time. Sometimes they challenge famous people in the arena and create big upsets, and they can even earn more than the champion in a single fight!
When Long Jiang discovered Li Xuanfeng's ability, he had already come up with this idea. During this period of time, he has been verifying Li Xuanfeng's accuracy.
Hearing Long Jiang's words, Li Xuanfeng looked at him with a smile, as if he already knew what this man was thinking . Then he stroked his chin and thought for a while.
"Wen Xi is very popular right now, so it's perfect for us to challenge him!" Li Xuanfeng said with a smile after thinking for a while.
"No, Wenxi's fighting power is much higher than mine. There is no chance of winning if I challenge him!" Long Jiang shook his head hurriedly after hearing this. He saw Wenxi's last fight clearly, and his fighting power was definitely not something he could compare to!
Long Jiang even thought that Li Xuanfeng was fooling him and asked him to challenge Wen Xi. Although he was confident that he could make Wen Xi afraid and not dare to kill him, it was almost impossible to defeat Wen Xi.
Wen Xi is the third strongest warrior in the Spiritual Foundation Realm of the Arena. Although Long Jiang is ranked sixth, there is only a difference of three places, but the difference in combat power is not just a little bit!
"With my guidance, it won't be difficult to defeat Wenxi!" Li Xuanfeng smiled and was extremely confident.
"I hope Brother Lin can give me some advice. After the task is completed, I will give you 50% of the harvest!"
When Long Jiang saw the smile on Li Xuanfeng's face and thought about his accurate estimation of his combat power during this period, a strong glimmer of expectation appeared in his eyes. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying respectfully.
“Although Wenxi’s magic is extremely powerful, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy. As long as you, Fellow Daoist Long, can resist his two powerful magic moves, you can easily win!”
After hearing Li Xuanfeng's explanation, Long Jiang showed hesitation in his eyes. He was not the kind of ruthless person who dared to gamble his life. He did not dare to do anything without certainty, and he did not dare to participate in a fight where there was a life-and-death crisis!
"But with my fighting power, it is difficult to resist Wen Xi's two powerful magic moves!"
It's not that Longjiang is not confident enough, it's true that Wenxi's magic is too powerful. It takes all his strength to resist a single powerful magic move, let alone twice!
"This is not difficult. Wen Xi's magic has a weakness. Ice-attribute attacks are more effective in restraining his magic and can be resisted with less spiritual power!" Li Xuanfeng explained, confidently!
"But although I have water-attributed spiritual power, it is relatively weak and I cannot condense a powerful ice-attributed spell to resist Wenxi's spell!" Long Jiang said helplessly.
Although Long Jiang has dual-attribute spiritual power, the water attribute is relatively weak, and the condensed magic is not strong. He rarely uses it when fighting with people of the same level of cultivation. It is impossible for him to condense a strong ice-attribute magic to resist Wen Xi's powerful magic!
"You just need to go to the Lingbao Pavilion in the Demon City and buy a magic weapon called Bingyao Cone."
"The Ice Radiance Cone is indeed a top-level ice-attributed magic weapon in the Spiritual Foundation Realm, but with my water-attributed spiritual power, I cannot make it exert its strongest power!"
"Gold gives birth to water. The gold spiritual power in your body can enhance the water spiritual power. As long as you stimulate these two spiritual powers into the Ice Shining Cone at the same time and cast spells, it will be enough to resist Wen Xi's magic power!"
Seeing that Longjiang was so cautious and timid, Li Xuanfeng had to explain it to him carefully and in detail.
"Okay, then I will believe in Brother Lin's vision!" After hearing this, Long Jiang thought for a long time and no longer hesitated. He decided to fight once. Even if he really couldn't defeat Wen Xi, at least he had the confidence to save his life!
This is exactly the choice Li Xuanfeng gave him. If Li Xuanfeng asked him to challenge a strong man who made him not confident of keeping his life, with Longjiang's temperament, he would definitely not take the risk.
Afterwards, Long Jiang temporarily bid farewell to Li Xuanfeng, secretly went to Lingbao Pavilion, and bought an Ice Glory Cone!
Soon, when Long Jiang returned to the arena, he challenged Wen Xi. However, Wen Xi already knew Long Jiang's fighting ability and accepted the challenge directly with great confidence!
The fight between the two was scheduled for the next day. The arena had already been announced, and the audience had one day to place bets.
"Longjiang challenges Wenxi? Are you looking for death? But this is a great opportunity for us to earn spirit stones. I'm going to use all my belongings to bet on Wenxi!" After hearing about this fight, many people excitedly took out a large amount of spirit stones to bet on Wenxi!
"Long Jiang is not a reckless person. Could it be that he has obtained some extraordinary fortune that has increased his fighting power and he is confident that he can defeat Wen Xi?" Some cautious people did not place their bets immediately, but speculated instead.
"Longjiang just participated in a fight three days ago, and his fighting power has not improved. Yet he has been in the arena for the past two days. Could it be that good fortune has fallen from the sky and hit him on the head?" Many people who often pay attention to Longjiang directly denied this speculation.
Due to all these reasons, this time the betting was basically one-sided. Very few people bet on Longjiang. There were only twenty or thirty people, and they only bet a small amount of spirit stones to test the waters.
Because Longjiang and Wenxi are both veterans of the arena, the audience is already relatively clear about their fighting abilities.
With Longjiang's combat power, defeating Wenxi is nothing but a pipe dream!
The dozens of people betting on Longjiang were probably just newcomers who had arrived at the arena not long ago, and they were only testing the waters without knowing the fighting power of the two men.
Normally, the bets on gladiatorial fights are close to 50-50, because fights with a large difference in strength are almost impossible to occur, unless one of the gladiators wants to die!
This time, Longjiang applied to challenge Wenxi, which surprised the person in charge of the arena. Did Longjiang want to die?
After the accident, there was dissatisfaction. If you want to die, you can go find a rock and kill yourself, but you can't come and drag our arena into the water!
Such an obvious difference in combat power between the two would even cause the arena to suffer considerable losses.
Although the spectators of the Colosseum need to pay an entrance fee, if the majority of the bets are placed on the winner, the Colosseum will still suffer a loss!
Finally, after Long Jiang's extremely confident assurance and willingness to bear all the losses, the Arena agreed to let him challenge Wen Xi.
The person in charge of the arena was thinking in his heart, with Longjiang's cautious nature, it is impossible for him to do such a stupid and reckless thing, could it be that he really has some secret support?
