Chapter 1053: What Is A Lunatic Like You Trying To Do?

The white-robed old man’s eyes froze the moment Heaven Sword was brought out.
His eyes trembled, and the glint of greed immediately appeared. He then praised, “Good stuff! Good stuff! This sword is at least a treasure in the sky grade. I can’t imagine how such a good item would be in the hands of a piece of trash. What a waste of a heavenly treasure!”
Luo Tian frowned, “Are you betting or not?”
The white-robed old man immediately replied, “Of course I’ll bet on it!”
The pile of xuan coins didn’t even reach a million on the table.
The white-robed old man doubted Heaven Sword had reached the semi-divine grade, but even if it was an earth grade, it would still be worth millions of xuan coins. The stakes may be high, but you were out of your mind if you didn’t gamble on it.
Bai Lingling rushed over, “Are you crazy? The sword is worth over a million xuan coins, while the table has less than a million!”
Before Bai Lingling could speak more, the white-robed old man interrupted, “You already spoke of betting on it and cannot take it back. Once you lose, the sword will belong to me.”
He was worried that Luo Tian would renege on his words.
He was definitely going to get this sword!
Luo Tian smiled and said, I have no intention of backing out, but I’m worried that you would renege on the bet. My lord, your cultivation realm is so high, and your status is so honorable. If you go back on your word and don’t give me the xuan coins, what can I do to you?”
The white-robed old man sneered, “Humph~! I, Ao Sheng, do not put these mere hundreds of thousands of xuan coins in my eyes.”
Luo Tian then said, “So you say, but what if you renege on it? What happens then? How about this; if you go back on your word later, then you are a dirty lapdog!”
“Humph~!”
Ao Sheng was annoyed by those words, but he suppressed his anger because he really wanted the Heaven Sword. He then smiled coldly, “As you wish, but kid, you better act honestly. If I don’t see your face before sunset, I will kill off the entire Bai family without allowing a single survivor!”
After saying that, a strong killing intent surged out of his body.
He was afraid Luo Tian would run away.
If that were to happen, it would be equivalent to a spiritual treasure flying away from the grasp of his hands!
Bai Lingling’s face instantly became miserable looking. The Bai family had just gone through a rebellion, yet now they had provoked Misty Cloud Academy’s examination officer. If Luo Tian cannot break through to the Condensation Element realm and decides not to show up, then the Bai family would really disappear from the Towering Cloud City.
Bai Xiong’s expression was of shock.
Luo Tian maintained that faint smile on his face as he replied, “Fine!”
There was no need to say anything more.
Luo Tian immediately turned around to leave.
Five hours was really tight, but since the words had been said, then he had to break through before sunset. Otherwise, he would have wasted the Bai family’s selection spot. As long as he successfully breaks through, he would gain nearly 700 thousand xuan coins for free! Luo Tian could unseal around five martial skills with that kind of money!
With five new upgraded martial skills, his strength would greatly soar.
Looking at Luo Tian’s disappearing back, Ao Sheng laughed excitedly inside, “Kid, that divine sword is mine for sure, hahaha! I didn’t expect a small place like this to actually have a spiritual treasure. It looks like my trip has not been in vain!”
The old man who had just whispered in Ao Sheng’s ears came over and said, “Senior Brother Ao, will this offend the Hai family? The Hai family sent word that the kid cannot be allowed to enter the Misty Cloud Academy. He cannot even qualify to participate in the selection exam. Now, you’re giving him a chance…”
Ao Sheng smiled and said, “Junior Brother Chen, you’re worrying too much. I’ve already paid attention just now and noticed his dantian is crippled. Not to mention one day, even if you give him ten years, he won’t be able to break through the Condensation Element realm. He definitely won’t win, so just wait and see.”
Ao Sheng was full of confidence.
Anyone with a bit of common sense knew that a person with a shattered dantian would not be able to cultivate further. He didn’t know how Luo Tian attained his Four Elements realm cultivation, but he was very sure that Luo Tian wouldn’t be able to break through to the Condensation Element realm no matter what.
The main reason was that the Condensation Element realm required a baptism of one’s dantian in order to break through. Otherwise, they couldn’t break through.
This was a shackle that had stumped a lot of people and a peak that Luo Tian could never overcome!
Ten minutes later, Towering Cloud City’s Bai family manor.
Bai Qi heard the whole story while his brows were locked into a frown. He then said to Luo Tian, “He was obviously making things difficult for you. How come you still fell for it?”
He and the whole Bai family trusted Luo Tian, but no one knew what Luo Tian was thinking.
Bai Qi also knew that breaking through the Condensation Element realm required a baptism of the dantian, or else it would be impossible to make any further progress.
Bai Lingling said angrily, “Father, you should’ve seen how arrogant that white-robed old man was! I really don’t like him!”
“Now isn’t the time to talk about those things. He is a member of the Misty Cloud Academy. Just the name is enough for our Bai family to be destroyed ten thousand times, so we cannot afford to provoke him. There’s definitely someone in the background intentionally making things difficult for Luo Tian.”
Luo Tian then said, “It has to be the Hai family.”
“Misty Cloud City’s Hai family?”
Bai Qi’s eyes widened the moment he recalled the words that Hai Yulong had said when he was rescued by the expert. His face darkened as he said, “Luo Tian, hurry up and leave. Don’t take part in the Misty Cloud Academy selection. Even if you manage to pass the selection exam, it will still be useless. The Hai family’s power is too powerful, and we’re not their match at all.”
He didn’t think that there would be interference this early.
If the Misty Cloud Academy could wipe out the Bai family ten thousand times over, then the Hai family could make Luo Tian die tens of thousands of times. This was not because the Hai family’s king level power was stronger than that of the Misty Cloud Academy but because the Hai family’s methods were known to be extremely sinister.
Luo Tian already knew it was most likely the Hai family making things difficult for him.
The four great families of Towering Cloud City wouldn’t dare to.
Luo Tian revealed his strength so the other four great families wouldn’t dare to provoke him. The only ones left were the Hai family.
Deliberately making things difficult for him?
Towering Cloud City’s Hai family?
Luo Tian smiled coldly, “Hai family, you better wait for this daddy. You guys watch how I’m going to fuck you guys over.”
Luo Tian immediately said, “Uncle Bai, you don’t need to worry. You two don’t need to worry, either. Isn’t it just breaking through to the Condensation Element realm? Is this all the confidence you have in me? You guys have seen how fast I can make breakthroughs. I will definitely win the bet.”
Bai Qi looked at Luo Tian and let out a breath, “I’ve been researching everything about you these past few days. Don’t blame this uncle. After all, I have betrothed my daughter to you, so I have to know everything about you. You can break through realms by killing; killing demonic beasts or killing people. But who can you kill in Towering Cloud City right now? There’s no one for you to kill. Where are you going to kill demonic beasts? You have to know that Towering Cloud City is a half-day journey from the nearest mountain range that has demonic beasts. A round trip will take at least a day. Five hours is simply too little, not to mention that there aren’t even five hours left right now.”
“Unless…”
Bai Lingling asked in surprise, “Unless what?”
Bai Qi looked at Luo Tian and said, “You aren’t thinking of entering the Black Wind Cave, are you?”
