Chapter XXXV

True Martial City was located in the center of the Heavenly God Continent, and did not belong to any of the thirty-six sects, much less to the jurisdiction of the Four Heavenly Kings. And the ruler of True Martial City was precisely the ruler of Heavenly God Continent — God Clan.

However, the God Clan in True Martial City was not the true God Clan. After the god of heaven had ended the great war between the gods and devils over a hundred years ago, he divided the continent into thirty-six sects, and had them divided into thirty-six Sect Master s who were in charge of governing. And the God Clan disappeared from the surface of the Heavenly God Continent. According to legends, this was because after their elemental energy had awakened, it had become true God Clan. And naturally, God Clan would not live with mortals, they all moved to the Realm of Gods.

And now, the God Clan in True Martial City was nothing more than a side branch of the true God Clan. Although they had also activated the Natal Elemental Energy, they were unable to actually awaken their elemental energy. Therefore, they were unable to enter the Kingdom of God and could only continue staying in the Heavenly God Continent.

After Leng Jun left Tianxuan City, he still wanted to find the culprit that killed his parents and his fellow villagers. However, he had no clue at all about the vast sea of people.

In the end, Leng Jun thought of a way. Since he couldn't find the murderer, why not let those murderers find him?

Leng Jun already knew the reason behind the deaths of his parents and relatives. There were people coveting the《 Earth Yin Devil Records s》, and they believed that the《 Earth Yin Devil Records s》 was in Leng Village, which was why they tried to kill him.

Since ten years had already passed, and they had not heard of anyone using the Martial Skill from the [Earth Yin Devil Records s] on the Heavenly God Continent, it was very clear that those people did not find what they were looking for.

As a result, Leng Jun thought of a way to let more people know of his existence. This way, the bandits who had killed their loved ones would be able to guess that "The Earth Yin Devil Records" was in his possession and would then seek him out. This way, he would not only know who the murderer was, but he would also have the opportunity to kill his enemies.

How could he make himself famous? The best choice would naturally be to come to the most bustling place in the Heavenly God Continent, where the God Clan resided.

And not long after Leng Jun arrived at the Divine Martial City, he welcomed a chance for his to amaze the world with a single feat.

During the three years in Profound Sky City, although Leng Jun had not learned any truly useful Martial Skill, he had gained quite a bit of knowledge. He had also understood a lot about the relationship between the thirty-six sects in the world.

Not long after arriving at the Divine Martial City, he heard of the so-called thirty-six strongest — s of the East Astral Sect being about to arrive. Thus, Leng Jun issued a challenge to Yan Nantian.

Although the East Astral Sect was located in the Eastern Continent, it was not far from the Tianqiao City located in the Southern Continent. Ever since the disappearance of the Leader of Nanqiao Sect, because the location of the Sect Master's Golden Seal was unknown, it had always been in a state of helplessness. And the East Astral Sect took the opportunity to invade and occupy the Tianqiao City.

The reason Leng Jun sent a written challenge to Yan Nantian was to use his identity as the Leader of Nanqiao Sect to seize back his Tianqiao City. And for this reason, Yan Nantian could not reject it. If he rejected, then his reputation as the strongest Sect Master would be ruined and his Tianqiao City would be given to others. Therefore, Yan Nantian quickly responded by saying that in the Zhen Wu City's martial arena, he would be competing with Leng Jun.

As the location of the God Clan, True Martial City was naturally the same as Sky City, where martial arts were prohibited. However, the martial arena was a special place.

As the name implied, the martial arena was a place to compete in the Martial Skill. It was also where True Martial City selected its guards. Of course, the arena also had another function, and that was to serve as the playground for the nobles. However, their game props were people.

On normal days, some competitions would be held in the arena. Other than collecting tickets, the organizers also received their main source of income: the wager on the victory or defeat of the two fighters.

Leng Jun and Yan Nantian's battle was also watched by the martial arena. And when the bet was started, the gap between the two sides was immediately revealed. Yan Nantian's odds of winning were 1 to 1.2, but Leng Jun's odds of winning were 1 to 99. Even so, the number of people willing to bet on Leng Jun winning were few in number

Yan Nantian was known as the strongest Sect Master of the 36 sects. He had come to True Martial City this time and was chosen to be the city guard commander of True Martial City. In True Martial City, besides God Clan, this position had the most potential and status. As a result, even if Yan Nantian was the leader of a sect, it would still be difficult to resist.

Just as Yan Nantian arrived at True Martial City, he received Leng Jun's challenge before he was summoned by the God Clan. He was a little surprised, but when he saw Leng Jun, he felt secretly happy.

The Nanqiao Sect has already disappeared for dozens of years, and a few years ago, news spread that the current Sect Master s had all been annihilated, so logically speaking, there should no longer be any so-called Nanqiao Sect appearing. However, Leng Jun's surname was Leng and he held the golden seal of Nanqiao Sect, so it was likely that the person who had passed down the Nanqiao Sect was a true successor.

But even if it was a real Leader of Nanqiao Sect who appeared, Yan Nantian still had the confidence to win, let alone a youth who was not even twenty years old, which increased his confidence even more. He felt that this was a good opportunity. How bored was Leng Jun to become old? As long as he had the Nanqiao Sect Golden Seal, he would naturally be a Sect Master in Nanqiao Sect.

If Yan Nantian could defeat a Sect Master before taking office, then his prestige would naturally rise again. He could also request for more benefits from the God Clan.

Although Leng Jun wanted to tell him that Yan Nantian had accepted the challenge, he was still very nervous. After all, the other party was one of the thirty-six Sect Master, and the Sect Master that he had snatched from was different. Furthermore, he was known as the strongest Sect Master of the thirty-six sects. In other words, besides the four great heavenly kings, he was the strongest person in terms of Heavenly God Continent.

This kind of person, compared to the people Leng Jun had fought against before, their strengths were not on the same level. How could Leng Jun not be nervous? Therefore, Leng Jun had already made his plans, he did not need to win this battle, he only needed to not lose in such a ugly way, and use his own name.

With Yan Nantian's status, if he had persisted for a while and admitted his defeat, the other party would most likely not kill him either. In any case, his goal was not to retrieve the Tianqiao City from Yan Nantian's hands, but to attract the attention of those people who had killed his parents for a blind date.

Although Leng Jun had already made his plans, when he saw the wager between both sides posted in the arena, he threw aside everything that he had planned out.

"Hmph, aren't you looking down on me too much?"

It turned out that not only was there a win rate, there was also the chance for Leng Jun to lose within a few moves. They were respectively. One lost (1 to 2), three lost (1 to 1.3), five lost (1 to 3), more than ten lost (1 to 10)

Similarly, the martial arena also used Yan Nantian's loss odds for a few moves, but no matter how many moves he lost, the odds would still be 1: 99.

Amongst the odds of bet that Leng Jun would lose, the one who bet the most on him to lose in three moves was none other than himself. From this, it could be seen that no matter if it was the dealer or the gambler, no one believed that Leng Jun would win.
