Chapter 81: Alchemy's Combat Techniques (1)

  "Cough cough, this can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words..." Ye Lang coughed.

  "Are you sure you can do it? Can you emerge unscathed?" Ye Chengtian asked skeptically, and he too only cared about emerging unscathed, winning or losing was not the issue.

  "It's definitely certain and affirmative!!" Ye Lang was very serious, so serious that others also thought it was true, for the time being, just for the time being!

  "That... I still have to go!" Ye Chengtian hesitated for a moment, but his determination remained unchanged.

  “……”

  Ye Lang insisted on not letting others intervene, otherwise he would turn against them, but the effect was not very good, and not many people cared about him.

  But in the end Ye Chengtian didn't go, this wasn't because Ye Lang finally succeeded, but rather because Li Danteng voluntarily changed the life and death duel into a normal duel.

  Although such a situation has almost never occurred before, no one will change the way of dueling afterwards. After all, this time is special, and there won't be anyone who opposes it either. On the contrary, many people support it, almost the whole city supports!

  Perhaps no one expected that the whole city would be protecting Ye Lang, and when they learned of Li Dan Teng's "forcing" Ye Lang into a life-or-death duel, many people rushed to the home of the First Sword Saint, accusing Li Dan Teng of this shameless and brazen behavior, strongly demanding that he withdraw from this life-or-death duel.

  Under the pressure of the people, and also because the First Sword Saint thought that Li Dan had indeed done something wrong, but he didn't want to offend the Ye family either. Since the duel was already set, there should be no backing down, and quitting was out of the question!

  Therefore, the First Sword Saint had Li Dan Teng change the way of the duel, and neither side needed to fight to the death!

  Although this concession is still unsatisfactory for many people, it can't be helped.

  The duel time and place between the two sides have been set, at the Royal Academy Arena seven days later, which is a large arena that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

  After that, Li Danteng secretly trained to prepare for the duel seven days later. Every duel had to be fought with all one's might, even against a waste like Ye Lang.

  What about waste materials? No, is it Ye Lang?

  He still teaches in the college as usual...

  "Ye Lang, how can you seem like nothing's happened?" Zhen Xiao Yan asked somewhat weakly. Yesterday, she was saying that she would definitely win and be like a man, but now it seems like she doesn't take this matter seriously at all.

  "What happened?" Ye Lang seemed to have really forgotten.

  "Your duel with Li Dan Teng!" Zhen Xiao Yan shook her head, even more helpless.

  "That's seven days later, what's the point of talking about it now." Ye Lang remembered, but he wasn't nervous at all.

  "You're not going to prepare, or how are you going to win, and come out unscathed?! Hmph, if you dare lose a single hair, I'll make you regret it!!" Zhen Xiaoyan said fiercely, grabbing Ye Lang's hand.

  "Fatty, you accidentally dropped a hair, this is very normal, can't blame me!" Ye Lang said innocently.

  "...I don't care, anyway you can't lose a single hair, at most let you lose a single downy feather..." Zhen Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then began to say "unreasonably".

  "This is a bit difficult, I need to study it... Ah, where's my lunch?"

  "I was going to bring it over to you anyway."

  ……

  A few days later, Ye Lang suddenly remembered something and pulled Zhen Xiaoyan to a place. When they arrived, he was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.

  "Fatty, take a look at the notice board in front, is my odds 3:1 or 1:3?"

  "This, it seems to be three accompanied by one!" Zhen Xiaoyan also said hesitantly, she was also suspecting that this was written incorrectly. In fact, neither of them had misread it, nor had anyone written it incorrectly, it really was three accompanied by one!!

  This is the odds of Ye Lang and Li Dan Teng's duel, Ye Lang thought of something, encountered a gambling house, how could he let it go, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to defeat him.

  But he never thought that his odds would be so low, even lower than Li Dan Teng's, who was 1:1, while he himself was 3:1!

  What's going on here?

  Ye Lang didn't know that in this round of betting, almost everyone was supporting him, putting all their chips on him, to the point where the odds kept getting lower and lower, from originally being somewhat unbelievable high to now being unbelievably low.

  This situation has left many people feeling surprised.

  "Is it going to be another narrow win? Hey, have you guys ever investigated that Thirteen is a complete waste who can't do anything, his winning rate isn't even one percent."

  "We know!"

  "Why still bet on Shi San Shao?"

  Because we like Thirteen Shao!

  This is what ordinary people say, while some nobles and wealthy businessmen who have a lot at stake should be explained by the emperor. This "good gambler" emperor has made another big bet this time!

  And the emperor's reason is still the same sentence ——

  "I don't know about Ye Lang's strength, but I know his luck, and I believe he will win!!"

  There are all sorts of reasons why this matter has become so unexpected and delightful, making Ye Lang feel very pleased and thrilled that he would have such high popularity.

  As for such a low odds, he doesn't mind at all. He never wanted to make money from high odds anyway. This time, he came to bet on Li Danteng, so he will definitely lose this money!

  This time, however, he couldn't place a bet!

  "What? Not giving me odds? Why?"

  "Thirteen Shao, you're the main character this time. Although we trust your integrity (perhaps), it's still not according to the rules! If you want to place a bet, just put it on yourself, that's acceptable!" The casino staff said humbly.

  "Get out! If I were to bet on myself, wouldn't I win? Forget it, let's just pretend I never came!"

  "...you're the only one who doesn't want to win money, thinking about losing money all day..."

  Like this, Ye Lang took Zhen Xiaoyan away from the casino and then wandered around on the streets, looking for fun and good food...

  "Ye Lang, you should go prepare for the duel, don't wander around." These were the words spoken by Zhen Xiao Yan at first, but not long after, she said some other words...

  "Leafy greens, this is delicious, and this one, and this..."

  In the end, Zhen Xiaoyan simply followed Ye Lang around everywhere, putting the duel out of her mind!

  Time passed bit by bit, Li Dan Teng worked hard every day, while Ye Lang was eating, drinking and having fun every day, becoming two distinct contrasts.

  Is Ye Luang completely giving up or full of confidence?

  In theory, it should be the former, and many people also think so. A Ye Lang who has never practiced in everyone's cognition is 100% no match for Li Dan Teng. If that's the case, then there's no need to prepare anything else.

  But some people think it will be the latter, because Ye Lang has enviable luck, and Li Dan Teng may lose without a fight, which is also the main reason why most people support Ye Lang.

  What is it after all? It will be clear today!
