Chapter 30: Fire Python Tiger, Ironwood Manor, High Stakes

Having made his decision, Lin Yan quickly left the scene.

He rushed towards the endpoint of the hunting ground, moving at a rapid pace all the way.

However, perhaps because the hunting battle was nearing its end, Lin Yan encountered fewer participants and beasts along the way compared to the beginning.

This allowed him to move even faster towards the endpoint.

"Crack!"

With another punch, Lin Yan killed a beast charging towards him.

Flicking his finger, a purple flame flew out and quickly incinerated the beast's corpse, leaving only its most important monster core.

Lin Yan removed the monster core with one hand, muttering to himself, "We should be close."

He continued on his way.

Not long after, he saw the corpse of a Fire Python Tiger lying by the roadside.

This further confirmed that the hunting battle was about to end.

After all, from the current scene, Lin Dong and the others must have already taken down the Fire Python Tiger.

So, the confrontation should be starting soon.

With this in mind, Lin Yan began to hurry even faster towards the endpoint.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Just as Lin Yan had anticipated.

At this moment, Lin Dong, Wu Yun, and the others had all arrived at the endpoint of the hunting battle.

After Lin Dong and Wu Yun stepped onto the stone platform, several referees quickly approached, counted the number of identity cards on them, nodded, and then left.

Below the platform, Lei Li and Xie Yingying's expressions turned icy.

Before Lin Dong and Wu Yun even stepped down from the platform, Lei Li immediately turned around, facing the spectator seats where the Lei and Xie families were located, and shouted loudly:

"Grandpa, Uncle Xie, when we encountered a heavily injured Fire Python Tiger and three newborn cubs in the jungle, both of us fought desperately against it for a long time before finally killing it. Unexpectedly, Lin Dong and Wu Yun ambushed us and snatched the three Fire Python Tiger cubs. Please do justice for us!"

As his voice fell, the whole audience was in an uproar, especially when they heard about the three Fire Python Tiger cubs, a strong greed flashed in everyone's eyes!

These were Fire Python Tiger cubs! If they could be nurtured, they would be combat powers comparable to experts in the Heaven Element Realm in the future.

Therefore, in an instant, Lei Bao and Xie Qian's faces turned ugly.

They didn't care whether Lin Dong's alleged snatching was true or false. At this moment, their only thought was to snatch the Fire Python Tiger cubs from the Lin family!

"Lin Zhentian, Luo Cheng, did you hear that? Lin Dong and Wu Yun snatched our Fire Python Tiger cubs. Now please return them!"

Lei Bao quickly said to Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng.

On the other side, Wu Yun directly spoke up, "The Fire Python Tiger was heavily injured. Does it belong to anyone who sees it first? Spiritual treasures belong to the capable! This Fire Python Tiger is no different. Whoever has the ability takes it. Now that we have obtained it, why should we give it to you?"

Lei Bao's face darkened upon hearing this, and he immediately shouted, "Stop your sophistry!"

But his words were directly suppressed by Luo Cheng on the side, "Lei Bao, what your family said is true. What my family said is sophistry? Do you think my Kui Knife Martial Arts Hall is easy to bully?"

Lin Zhentian on the side finally decided to speak up. He hadn't said anything before because he didn't know the situation, but now that he knew, his view was surprisingly consistent with Lei Bao and Xie Qian's on the other side. That is, regardless of everything else, they must keep the Fire Python Tiger cubs!

Seeing this, he said, "I agree with what Wu Yun said just now. Spiritual treasures belong to the capable! This cannot be considered robbery; it can only be said that we are destined with these Fire Python Tigers. Therefore, what the Lei family said just now is groundless."

Lei Bao and Xie Qian understood that it wouldn't be easy to snatch the Fire Python Tiger from the Lin family and the Kui Knife Martial Arts Hall today. However, they were not willing to give up, as the Fire Python Tiger was of great significance. If they could obtain it, it would greatly enhance their family's power.

Therefore, after some contemplation, Lei Bao made another decision.

He looked at Xie Qian, Luo Cheng, and Lin Zhentian, then said:

"Since that's the case, why don't we make a bet?"

"Everyone just mentioned that the spiritual treasures belong to the capable."

"Now, let's determine who the capable ones are!"

Lin Zhentian was the first to object: "Lei Bao, you're quite calculating. Are you really trying to benefit at others' expense?"

Lei Bao snorted, "I'm not that shameless!"

"In that case, each of our four families will put up something as a bet."

"Your Lin family and the Kui Knife Martial Arts Hall will naturally bet the Fire Python Tiger cubs."

"Then my Lei family will bet with Ironwood Manor, and the Xie family will use another item. How about that?"

Everyone looked at each other, while Luo Cheng directly said to Lei Bao, "So, Lei Bao, how do you intend to bet? Are you planning to spar with me and the Lin family head?"

At this point, Luo Cheng looked coldly at Lei Bao, his scar-like facial scar wriggling like a centipede.

Lei Bao heard this and shook his head coldly, "Of course not!"

"I believe that the younger generation should settle their own affairs!"

"So, I propose that the younger generation engage in a sparring match to settle the bet!"

"I won't bully you either. My Lei family and the Xie family will send Lei Li, while your Lin family and the Kui Knife Martial Arts Hall can directly send Lin Yan! If you win, we will admit defeat and drop the matter. We won't pursue it any further, and vice versa. How about it?"

Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian were silent for a while.

On the other side, Xie Qian couldn't help but ask Lei Bao quietly, "Brother Lei, is this feasible? If I remember correctly, a few months ago, Lei Li seemed to have been defeated by Lin Yan."

Lei Bao replied softly, "A few months ago, Lei Li did not use his full strength. And now that Lei Li has reached the Earth Element Realm, I have also passed on the fourth-grade martial arts of our Lei family to him. So, Lin Yan is definitely no match for him."

Xie Qian finally felt relieved after hearing this. If Lei Bao said so, then they were basically guaranteed to win this bet. After all, Lin Yan definitely hadn't broken through to the Earth Element Realm!

"Alright, let's proceed according to Brother Lei's plan."

Lei Bao quickly looked at Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng on the side.

After some communication, the two of them also understood that today's matter would not be resolved so easily.

And from the current situation, this seemed to be the best solution.

"What do you think, Director Luo?"

Lin Zhentian began to ask for Luo Cheng's opinion.

"I choose to trust Lin Yan."

"I've also heard about what happened before from Wu Yun."

Luo Cheng quickly replied.

Lin Zhentian nodded silently upon hearing this.

Then, he looked at Lei Bao and Xie Qian on the side and said calmly, "In that case, let it be decided as such!"

"When Lin Yan arrives, we'll start the bet!"

Lei Bao laughed at this.

And Xie Qian also showed a determined smile.

They didn't continue to urge the matter, but instead waited patiently.

And under their waiting...

Lin Yan finally arrived!
