Chapter 4304
“Young man, are you out of your mind? You actually placed a bet on Kai and wagered such a large amount!”
“I heard that Kai is merely at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Even if he were at the peak of that stage, he wouldn’t stand a chance against Master Mu.”
An elderly monk with a white beard addressed Kai directly.
“No, I’ve heard that Kai is only at the seventh level of the Tribulation Realm. But even so, he should be capable of defeating Mu Qing,” Kai replied with a slight smile.
The moment the monks heard Kai’s assertion, an uproar ensued. They ridiculed him, convinced that he was speaking nonsense.
“A seventh-grade cultivator in the Tribulation Realm defeating a first-grade cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana Realm? That’s just absurd!”
“Who claimed that a seventh-level Tribulation Realm cultivator could outmatch a first-level Mahayana Realm cultivator? I’d like to know who’s so bold!”
Upon seeing Tan Rongkun, the atmosphere in the gambling house shifted. The other cultivators instinctively took a step back.
The palpable aura emanating from Tan Rongkun, a second-grade Mahayana cultivator, was enough to intimidate everyone present!
This is the Mahayana realm, the stage closest to achieving immortality. Countless practitioners strive to reach it, yet many find themselves stuck in the Tribulation Realm.
While it may seem that there are many Mahayana cultivators, they are actually quite rare within the celestial world.
When Pavilion Master Qian noticed Tan Rongkun’s arrival, he frowned slightly. The bloodstains on Tan Rongkun hinted at his nature as a demon cultivator, one who was likely no stranger to violence.
Kai also frowned as he observed Tan Rongkun, sensing that his aura bore similarities to Di Chongjing and Sect Leader Jiang.
“Fellow Daoist, this is a gambling house—a place meant for enjoyment. So please don’t take some comments too seriously,” Pavilion Master Qian said with a courteous smile toward Tan Rongkun.
Pavilion Master Qian was concerned that Tan Rongkun might take offense to Kai’s earlier remarks and initiate a confrontation.
After all, Kai had claimed that a seventh-level Tribulation Realm cultivator could defeat a first-level Mahayana Realm cultivator. Any Mahayana cultivator hearing such a statement would likely feel insulted!
Reaching the Mahayana realm requires exceptional qualities and a great deal of hardship. To have their achievements dismissed so casually would certainly provoke discontent!
“Don’t worry; this is Wantong Pavilion. I won’t bully anyone. However, since someone has such faith in Kai and has placed significant bets on him, I’ll join in too—but I’m placing my bet on Mu Qing to win.”
With that, Tan Rongkun tossed a bag of purple gold spirit coins onto Mu Qing’s side.
After finalizing his bet, Tan Rongkun turned his cold gaze toward Kai and said, “Boy, when the day of the fight arrives, make sure you’re there. Don’t even think about running away!”
As he spoke, Tan Rongkun unleashed his aura directly toward Kai!
Kai, being at the seventh level of the Tribulation Realm, should have easily crumbled under such pressure.
Yet, as Tan Rongkun’s aura bore down on him, Kai stood his ground, seemingly unaffected!
Tan Rongkun frowned, intensifying his aura slightly.
Still, Kai remained unmoved. Although he appeared calm, those around him began to struggle!
Many grit their teeth, fighting to withstand the pressure, while some collapsed to the ground.
“Fellow Daoist, please consider the reputation of Wantong Pavilion and refrain from causing a scene here!”
Pavilion Master Qian’s face flushed as he implored Tan Rongkun.
At that moment, Pavilion Master Qian felt compelled to invoke the name of Wantong Pavilion to deter Tan Rongkun.
Tan Rongkun retracted his aura, casting a surprised glance at Kai before turning and leading his men away.
