Duen Por Do’s eyes shrunk and he spoke in a low voice, “Rumour has it that you’re the best disciple of the Cloud Palace outer sect, and this is my chance to verify it. However, a plain old battle would be boring… should we spice things up?”
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGjaJRdweT1
Ooh, I can feel the evil thoughts surfacing. Kam Chin Kee laughed to himself but played along. “Oh? How would we do that?”
628Please respect copyright.PENANASJpILw8bkP
Duen Por Do patted his waist and a fist-sized rock appeared in his palm. It seemed like nothing special, but Kam Chin Kee could see it blinking with dim five-colored light as if the laws of heaven and earth were contained in this simple yet elegant rock.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAG2DI1FX29e
Fung Seung who paid full attention to his disciple from the start suddenly jumped up from his chair with an ugly expression when he saw what the former was doing.
628Please respect copyright.PENANA2yy1G4mTPM
Realising his gaffe, Fung Seung sat down immediately, his hands gripping the armrests tightly.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAusAmcv0qn5
628Please respect copyright.PENANAuZUmCYD9SQ
628Please respect copyright.PENANArV4dZbQMdu
Kam Chin Kee was scrutinizing the rock. He wasn’t sure if he identified the product accurately, but he asked, “Is that a… pentachromatic divine rock?”
628Please respect copyright.PENANAydVYC8pbAi
“Brother Kam has sharp eyes,” Duen Por Do said coldly. “Indeed, and not just any ordinary pentachromatic divine rock but a pristine, unprocessed stone. This one rock can allow a grandmaster-level blacksmith to create five Divine Bracelets of Five Elements.”
628Please respect copyright.PENANAoTb9hMldul
Even Kam Chin Kee was shocked at how hefty the bet was! He once took a close look at Chui Yim’s Divine Bracelet of Five Elements and was enlightened about the rules of heaven and earth.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAiW5BSmiCgO
Fung Seung was absolutely shocked that Duen Por Do owned such a powerful item as even he did not have a Divine Bracelet of Five Elements that was recorded in the Rare Treasure Records! It was obvious that Duen Por Do feared Fung Seung would demand the item using his status as master.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAHmUrgCk16T
On top of that, the one Duen Por Do owned was an original pentachromatic divine rock! It was way more valuable than the short section of everlasting wood they bid for before, worth as much as a piece of thousand-year-old everlasting wood.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAa6FgjEAVQk
Stupid!
628Please respect copyright.PENANAlgu1J11sPl
The more Fung Seung thought about it, the angrier he got. He suddenly had a great urge to stomp into the tower to stop this bet.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGIlRFzvKQF
Yes, Fung Seung could immediately tell that Duen Por Do hoped to make a bet with Kam Chin Kee using this rock.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAyZsdUX2XIK
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhHUMUxdbBi
628Please respect copyright.PENANAgx6aw4tgRw
Kam Chin Kee was similarly astonished by the extravagant bet Duen Por Do made, but being a twice-reincarnated human, Kam Chin Kee was very mature. “I’m afraid I don’t have any treasure that could compare with Brother Duen’s precious treasure.”
628Please respect copyright.PENANAXY3kbgPddT
“I heard that Brother Chui and Brother Kam recently bought a piece of everlasting wood at the Black Tortoise auction house.”
628Please respect copyright.PENANAstdqOjfNq7
In reality, this was quite nerve-wracking for Duen Por Do. This pentachromatic divine rock was one of the treasures left behind for him from the Duen Clan when it declined, and this ingredient was so precious that only a great master blacksmith could use it to make a Divine Bracelet of Five Elements.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAwg8lZ6b3IN
As a descendant of the Duen Clan, the everlasting wood was the most important thing of all, and there was even a section of their skill set dedicated to controlling everlasting wood!
628Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7krLemwIl
The downfall of the Duen Clan was because they lost their godly sword, and there was no way for Duen Por Do to use his clan’s skill set without everlasting wood. Now that he was the only descendant left, to Duen Por Do, that small piece of wood was way more valuable than the magical rock he had.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKyRrOQS3jI
Even though the market price of a pentachromatic divine rock was incomparable to such a small piece of everlasting wood, the latter was exceptionally rare, only showing up every few centuries. Duen Por Do did not have the time to wait another few hundred years for one. Rather than being careless, he was grasping the nettle!
628Please respect copyright.PENANAk9hl5PXsUb
Kam Chin Kee looked as calm as he always did, but many possibilities went through his mind in a short period of time. Although quite smart, he couldn’t possibly guess that Fung Seung was the person that fought with him and Chui Yim for the piece of wood, nor that he did so on behalf of Duen Por Do, nor that Duen Por Do was the last member of the fallen Duen Clan. The clan fell centuries ago and Duen wasn’t exactly a rare surname, so it was difficult for Kam Chin Kee to link him to the sword god of the past.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAYsWlSlaxTY
There must be something fishy going on. Kam Chin Kee thought fast.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAulwP8KpFme
628Please respect copyright.PENANAhWWJfhznyU
628Please respect copyright.PENANAgtlwdSLbge
Seeing how calm Kam Chin Kee was in front of such valuable treasure, Duen Por Do became anxious. With that, he sneered.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAEidMELVxd1
“Is Brother Kam perhaps afraid? I see that being confined in the Evergreen Palace for a long time turns you into a coward.”
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKRU9nqLF69
“There’s no need to goad me into the bet, Brother Duen.” Kam Chin Kee stared at him calmly, and Duen Por Do felt like he was being stared at by some scary monster.
628Please respect copyright.PENANASgBGg2wYbI
“I accept the bet.”
628Please respect copyright.PENANARt1oCVIlls
Duen Por Do was still too young; he tried to keep his cool, but the joy in his eyes was more than obvious to Kam Chin Kee. He tried his best to keep his cool and wore a thin smile on his face. “I believe that Brother Kam will definitely abide by the bet.”
628Please respect copyright.PENANAGop0VDkddO
“Of course, Brother Duen, same goes for you.” Kam Chin Kee laughed, but Duen Por Do only sneered in reply.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAsxxGq9hwyp
Losing? That’s impossible.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAauExyChYDu
However, something surprising happened; a cold voice rang across the area.
628Please respect copyright.PENANApVY40vteJO
“I’ve heard your bet and I will be the witness, as well as the person to make sure the loser forfeits their item.”
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKLn7ruwKkQ

Lung Wai Yuet was filled with curiosity. She knew how talented her disciple, Lee Bak was. In fact, he was even better than Sze Fung. She never worried about Lee Bak’s future and was even confident that, with the institution’s resources on top of his talent, he would have an eighty percent chance of making it to the five-chambered state.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAfDWtEV9z2D
This same Lee Bak greatly admired Kam Chin Kee and even viewed him as his lifelong rival. Now that there was a bet with two extremely valuable items, it was more than worth it to have Lung Wai Yuet as witness given her status.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAaeG1NQSavr
Duen Por Do burst into laughter when he heard Lung Wai Yuet, unable to contain his excitement anymore. Meanwhile, Kam Chin Kee looked as calm as usual, as if nothing in the world could shake him.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAZNo9Ddstdw
“Brother Kam, I thank you for fulfilling my wish.” Duen Por Do said after laughing like a madman.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAKwYZQ4ERHB
“Launch your attack.” Kam Chin Kee shook his head. He had lost interest in speaking to Duen Por Do.
628Please respect copyright.PENANAulahcB52pM
“Beware, Brother Kam.” Duen Por Do nodded. “This is the Carefree Sword passed down in my clan for generations.”
628Please respect copyright.PENANAWrH2t5BDYl
Swoosh.
628Please respect copyright.PENANArm98Z6NJvO
Kam Chin Kee’s eyes shrunk. A visible finger-sized aura pierced through the blood fog and came for him! Instead of blocking the attack with his puppet, Kam Chin Kee dodged, and the red bird on his shoulder turned into a red shadow and went for Duen Por Do in turn.
628Please respect copyright.PENANA9gEN0dBvXm
“Great moves.” Duen Por Do was taken aback. He had been training since childhood, nearly ten years, so he was very clear on how fast his sword could be. The best example would be all his previous competitors being defeated before they could even react. But Kam Chin Kee dodged the attack so relaxedly that he had the time to launch an attack of his own.
628Please respect copyright.PENANACpQu7HKGEv
However… Duen Por Do remained calm in the face of the red shadow. He flashed his long sword, which seemed to be hidden behind a black fog.
