907 Becoming the Champion

"Return it to you? You are quite a shameless bastard, aren't you? Half a minute ago, you demanded me to call you my master! Now, you are trying to break the promise when you know that you have lost the bet! I have never seen a shameless bastard like you!" said Wu Aofeng.

"I…"

Rendered speechless, Xu Changqing was ashamed of himself and his face turned red immediately.

"Let me repeat the thing that you told me just now! A lot of people are watching us when we made the bet! Do you really think you can break the promise?!"

Wu Aofeng's mouth twitched. He then walked away from him. No one dared to stop him from going.

"Stand right there! Do not move!"

Xu Changqing was too weak to move around. All he could do was use his voice to stop Wu Aofeng. Seeing that Wu Aofeng was ignoring him, he almost died from fury.

"Faction Leader Yue! Grand Elder Zhuang! Isn't the result of this match of fighting is pretty straightforward? Are you guys planning to announce the result?" said Chen Xiaobei in a loud manner with his head lifted high.

"This…"

Taken aback, Zhuang Bihuang looked at Yue Changkong unconsciously. Phantom Rain was after all Yue Junmo—losing this match would mean the change of ownership of the first three places. Though Zhuang Bihuang was the grand elder of Mount Hua Faction, he still did not dare to decide this matter all by himself.

"Faction Leader Yue! Grand Elder Zhuang! What's there to discuss?? Everyone is watching the two of you! Phantom Rain used a shameless way to defeat Chang Qing and you are fine with it! Chen Xiaobei just won the fight fair and square! Why are you not announcing the result?!" said Su Dongruo.

Clearly, he just raised his voice on purpose. Immediately, the crowd started to grow restless after hearing the thing that Su Dongruo just said. The crowd was already frustrated after Phantom Rain defeated Chang Qing in a despicable way. And now they were getting angry after realizing that Yue Junmo refused to announce the result.

"Chen Xiaobei won this round! Why are you not announcing the result?!"

"Chen Xiaobei won the match fair and square! He is definitely better than that despicable and shameless son of a bitch, Phantom Rain!"

"Could it be Phantom Rain is actually related to Mount Hua Faction?! That's why he's having this special privilege?!"

"Mount Hua Faction is one of the most reputable ancient faction! Are they going to rig this martial arts competition?! Are they really going to toss their good reputation away?!"

Feeling angry, the crowd let out all their dissatisfactions.

Wu Aofeng was smart enough to blend himself into the crowd and shouted alongside them.

"Announce that Chen Xiaobei won this competition! Now! If not, you can let this rigged martial arts competition carry on and we will leave this shit place immediately!"

"Right! We will leave this place! You can go and play with yourself!"

"I'm not going to watch it anymore… Not anymore!"

The moment Wu Aofeng voiced out his opinion, everyone started to pressure Mount Hua Faction.

"This…"

Feeling frustrated, Yue Changkong felt like he was forced to eat a pile of warm shit. To Yue Changkong, the crowd was like a group of ants to him. However, he knew that he needed them. Without them, this martial arts competition would turn into a complete joke. That would mean the reputation of Mount Hua Faction would be destroyed completely.

Left in a dilemma, Yue Changkong would lose 5,000 Spiritual Stones if he announced that Chen Xiaobei is the winner. And if he refused to announce that Chen Xiaobei is the winner, Mount Hua Faction's reputation would be ruined.

Reputation and money were always the thing that human being went after. Not even a Celestial cultivation elite like Yue Changkong could resist it. Suddenly, Yue Changkong saw that Su Dongruo was winking at Chen Xiaobei. Clearly, he was trying to make the situation worse. He had every intention to recruit Chen Xiaobei to his faction.

Upon seeing that, Yue Changkong finally came up with his final decision. After all, Chen Xiaobei was the kind of prodigy that he could never pass up. Seemingly, he knew that Chen Xiaobei would be able to bring great contribution to his faction. If Chen Xiaobei was recruited to Green Town Faction, Mount Hua Faction would be left with nothing.

"Everyone! Silence please! I now officially announce that Chen Xiaobei has won in this competition! Next, he is going to fight with Tai Yitan for the first place!" announced Yue Changkong.

"Great! Finally! He has come to his senses!"

Filled with joy, the crowd did not hold him accountable for what Phantom Rain did anymore. At the same time, Yue Changkong took the opportunity to smile at Chen Xiaobei to show that he was friendly.

"Won! Xiaobei just won!"

Upon seeing that, Luo Puti could not suppress her joy anymore. Tears even started to flow down from her eyes. She had always thought that Chen Xiaobei was weaker than most people. That was why she wanted to protect him all the time. There were a few times she wanted to talk Chen Xiaobei out of participating in the martial arts competition.

It was at that moment, she finally realized that Chen Xiaobei was a man that did not need anyone to protect.

He was just exceptionally powerful. Now, she was truly happy for him. At the same time, she felt blessed by him as well. With Chen Xiaobei protecting her, she did not need to afraid of Yue Junmo bothering her. And the success rate of looking for her parents would be greatly increased as well. Clearly, Chen Xiaobei was just acted like he did not care about the things around him. And the fact that he won the battle was enough to prove that he was a reliable and trustable man.

After seeing another side of Chen Xiaobei, Luo Puti finally opened up her heart. In other words, Chen Xiaobei had managed to conquer her heart.

"Chen Xiaobei is going up against Tai Yitan in the next battle. I hope he can defeat him and become a champion!" said Luo Puti, filled with anticipation.

She was looking forward to Chen Xiaobei bringing her more pleasant surprises. Becoming a champion in the competition like this would mean becoming the most powerful man during the ancient times.

"No need to fight anymore! I, Tai Yitan know that I will not be able to defeat Chen Xiaobei. I will surrender to him. It's not a shameless act. Getting the second place is good enough for me!" announced Tai Yitan.

"This… This… This…"

Taken aback, Luo Puti could not believe the thing that she just heard. Her perfect dream had just come true!

"What? Surrender again? Why again?!"

"This… This is just unbelievable! All he did was landed two slaps on his opponents! He didn't even get into serious mode! So, this is how he claims the first place?"

"Oh god! Things that happen today will definitely be recorded as history!"

"His way of getting first place is definitely unprecedented!"

"What an easy way to win! But, I'm happy with the result!"

"Of course! A prodigy like him deserves the victory!"

"Chen Xiaobei! Chen Xiaobei! Chen Xiaobei!"

Suddenly, everyone was shouting his name. Everyone in the arena was happy that he claimed the first place.
