Chapter 265 Lifting a rock only to drop it on oneself
Xiao Chen and Liang Jingtao stood on either side of the platform.
"Brother Chen, if anything goes wrong during the competition, we won't be responsible," Liang Jingtao said jokingly.
"Let's begin," Xiao Chen said calmly.
Accident……
Of course there will be.
The King of the Underworld, the ruler of the Underworld Palace, has far more knowledge and experience than these scions of noble families.
"Okay!" Liang Jingtao composed himself and nodded to someone beside him.
"Ready..." The man raised a hand, then swung it down.
"start!"
Liang Jingtao immediately placed one hand on the platform in front of him and poured out his internal energy.
The red liquid in front of him expanded like mercury in a thermometer, surging towards Xiao Chen and squeezing out the blue liquid that belonged to him.
Xiao Chen simply watched calmly without taking any action.
This action drew sneers from the crowd.
"He dares to act like this? He's really ignorant of his own limitations! He'll find out soon enough!" someone mocked, with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Aren't you going to make a move? Do you really think you're so great? You think you can underestimate Young Master Liang? Hmph, arrogant and conceited!"
The red liquid expanded rapidly and immediately rushed to Xiao Chen, generating heat as it moved quickly.
The smile on Liang Jingtao's face had turned cold, and it was filled with ruthlessness.
If they dare to underestimate him, then he should teach them a lesson...
Just as the red liquid was about to change, Xiao Chen finally made his move.
He simply waved his hand and flicked his sleeve at the table.
"call……"
The true energy struck the blue liquid on the table from a distance, immediately causing a violent change.
"brush!"
The blue liquid, which had been squeezed down to a tiny amount, suddenly expanded rapidly, rushing forward like a torrent. The red liquid belonging to Liang Jingtao instantly withered and was squeezed and quickly condensed.
"what?"
This scene shocked everyone.
Liang Jingtao's eyes widened in disbelief.
This is a contest of true energy between the two sides.
Relying on the strength of his family's martial arts true energy, he was prepared to crush his opponent. However, when Xiao Chen's true energy entered the arena, his true energy uncontrollably reversed and dissipated, as if a mouse had seen a cat.
They're not even in the same league! They're worlds apart!
Startled, Liang Jingtao quickly poured all his inner energy into it.
He didn't want to lose.
However, even though he poured out all his true energy, leaving his body depleted and weak, he could not stop the surge of the blue liquid in the slightest.
Liang Jingtao's expression changed completely, and he became terrified.
The next moment, the blue liquid had expanded to the front of his eyes, and was steaming hot.
"boom!!"
A burst of sparks erupted, and an explosion occurred in front of Liang Jingtao, blasting him flying.
Xiao Chen's expression remained unchanged.
This is the risk of this betting game.
Those two liquids are special; if they expand or contract extremely rapidly, they can explode.
Liang Jingtao originally intended to frame him, but ended up reaping the consequences.
The force of the explosion was neither too great nor too small; it could cause minor injuries or even permanent disability.
Liang Jingtao's underlings rushed over in a panic and helped him up.
At this moment, Liang Jingtao was covered in black, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were tattered.
He had injuries, and in some places the flesh was torn open.
Such a tragic scene caused even the scions of noble families to feel a pang of heartache.
None of them could have predicted this outcome.
Liang Jingtao is a top-tier martial artist...
How could there be such a large difference in their internal energy?
Liang Jingtao made the first move, and Chen Xiao followed, yet he was able to crush Liang Jingtao in an instant.
Some people's pupils widened in shock when they recalled Xiao Chen's actions.
He didn't even touch the table...
It was just a wave of his hand, releasing a burst of true energy...
This is not the same concept as Liang Jingtao's method of using his hands to support the platform and transmit true energy.
In summary, the comparison shows that Chen Xiao's internal energy is many times stronger than Liang Jingtao's!
Those people were even more shocked by this result.
Is this kid really from Nancheng Township?
Leung King-to himself felt this deeply.
He truly experienced the unique nature of Xiao Chen's true energy.
He was still in a daze when someone helped him up.
"Domineering... such domineering true energy!" he murmured, describing the true energy as nothing more than 'domineering'.
"Young Master Liang, are you... alright?" the underling asked worriedly.
Liang Jingtao came to his senses and grimaced.
At the same time, his face was dark with a bluish tinge.
He lost...
They lost too decisively, not even lasting a single round.
“I lost…” Liang Jingtao sighed and said.
He conceded defeat readily, after all, so many people were watching.
"Brother Chen's internal energy is very strong; I, Liang, am humbled and admit defeat." He cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Chen.
With so many people watching, it would be even more embarrassing to get flustered and angry at this moment.
"It's alright," Xiao Chen replied.
Although Liang Jingtao wasn't exactly righteous, at least he dared to admit defeat, unlike Li Shengxuan.
"This is the prize money I lost."
Liang Jingtao ordered someone to push up a small cart loaded with a large amount of cash.
Xiao Chen won nearly 100 million from just these two bets.
It has to be said that if you have the skills, you can make money really fast in this kind of setting.
Xiao Chen didn't mind having too much money, so he took out a card and asked them to convert it into a number.
"Gold Pass!"
Liang Jingtao's eyes narrowed immediately when he saw the gold card in Xiao Chen's hand.
That's a gold card issued by one of the world's top banks; wealthy people generally can't qualify to apply for it.
"Just who is this Chen Xiao?" His mind started racing.
This Chen Xiao is definitely not simple; he has an extremely powerful background.
Because he knew that no family in the entire South City could obtain a universal gold card, and even in the South District, there weren't many people who possessed it.
"Please wait a moment, Brother Chen." Liang Jingtao instructed his men to calmly take the gold card from Xiao Chen's hand and proceed with the transaction.
"Brother Chen and Miss Ouyang, please enjoy yourselves first. I'll go change my clothes and then come back to entertain you both." Liang Jingtao's attitude changed drastically, and he became very polite to the two of them.
A short while later, he cleaned himself up again and reappeared at the casino.
This time, he personally accompanied the two of them, enthusiastically explaining the various ways to play.
The young geniuses in the South District all looked grim.
Liang Jingtao was originally their leader, so why has he betrayed them now?
Why should we be polite to some country bumpkin who stole the heart of their South District Martial Arts Goddess?
Some people simply can't swallow that insult.
"Go, go to the Tong family and tell them that Ouyang Muxue has a fiancé." One of them ordered his men with a sinister smile.
Upon hearing this, the scion of a prominent family standing nearby relaxed his brows, a mocking expression on his face.
The Tong family's son has been pursuing Ouyang Muxue for many years; who in the Southern District doesn't know that he's infatuated with her?
Unfortunately, Ouyang Muxue never showed any interest in him.
Not long ago, the Tong family went to the Ouyang family to propose marriage, but were directly rejected, losing face.
How could the Tong family members remain calm after learning that Ouyang Muxue had a fiancé?
He's the number one in the South District!
