Today, the Duel Arena was indeed crowded. When Aotian arrived with the members of the Starry Radiance Society, a group of Students wearing Brush Badges was also slowly approaching.
As Aotian and his group encountered these individuals, both sides immediately halted, their eyes filled with hostility as they stared at each other.
Indeed, those Students bearing Brush Badges were all members of the Ink Society.
Aotian scanned the dozens of figures from the Ink Society and quickly spotted two familiar faces: Wang Jie and Mokusheng.
However, the leader was not either of them, but another young man.
This young man exuded an air of elegance, every gesture revealing his scholarly nature. He looked as if he were someone who couldn't even harm a chicken.
Yet, the fluctuations of Mystical Energy emanating from this young man made Aotian feel a sense of gravity.
"Aotian, that elegant young man is the leader of the Ink Society, Mo Gang. Don't be fooled by his scholarly appearance; his strength should not be underestimated," Snow Qincheng whispered to Aotian.
Aotian nodded slowly, indicating his understanding. How could someone ranked fourth in the Inner Courtyard Rankings be just a useless scholar? Although he was unsure about Mo Gang's cunning, there was no doubt about his strength.
"This must be the leader of the Starry Radiance Society, Aotian. It's a pleasure to finally meet you!" Suddenly, Mo Gang greeted Aotian with a gentle smile.
Aotian responded with a light chuckle: "The leader of the Ink Society is indeed well-known. It's just that I haven't seen you for three consecutive months; it seems I am truly lacking."
Upon hearing Aotian's words, Snow Qincheng couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
The He Brothers also wore smiles on their faces, though there was an underlying meaning to their expressions.
Ying Tianrui, however, wore a calm expression, quietly observing the changes in Mo Gang's demeanor.
Only Niu Geng scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Sister Xue Qingcheng, what are you laughing at?"
After spending more than ten days together, the members of the Starry Radiance Society had come to realize that this elder Niu Geng was not very quick-witted. He might not fear fighting, but when it came to intelligence, Ying Tianrui could easily outsmart him by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, a seemingly astute member of the Starry Radiance Society leaned in and whispered to Niu Geng, "Senior Niu Geng, the boss is indirectly calling Mo Gang timid and incompetent for not daring to show his face for three months."
Upon hearing this explanation from the student, Niu Geng suddenly appeared enlightened and exclaimed loudly, "That's right! The boss is right; that Mo Gang is truly cowardly and incompetent, hiding away and not daring to meet us!"
As soon as Niu Geng said this out loud, the members of the Starry Radiance Society burst into laughter, mocking him...
Aotian couldn't help but chuckle and feigned anger as he said, "Niu Geng, the fact that Mo Gang can come out to meet us shows that they have made progress and gained courage. You should be praising them instead of mocking them!"
Niu Geng was momentarily taken aback but then laughed heartily, saying, "Yes, yes! Congratulations to Boss Mo for greatly increasing his courage! I, Old Niu, am ashamed in comparison! Hahaha..."
On the other side, the members of the Ink Society had grim expressions as they glared at the members of the Starry Radiance Society, their eyes seemingly ready to shoot flames.
Mo Gang's gentle smile had faded without anyone noticing, replaced by a cold demeanor as he said,
"I've heard for a long time that Boss Aotian is incredibly powerful, but I didn't expect his verbal skills to be so impressive as well. I just wonder if Boss Aotian's skills on the Dueling Platform can match his eloquence!"
With that, Mo Gang led the members of the Ink Society toward the Dueling Platform.
Watching Mo Gang's retreating figure, Aotian turned to Ying Tianrui and asked,
"Tian Rui, what do you think? Is this Mo Gang a threat?"
Ying Tianrui glanced at Mo Gang's back as if he could see through him, then smiled slightly and replied,
"Don't worry, Boss. This Mo Gang can't even hide his most basic thoughts; he's not a concern at all! I suspect he has cultivated a certain technique or martial art to possess such an elegant demeanor. However, Boss, we shouldn't let our guard down; after all, Mo Gang's strength is enough to pose a threat to us."
Aotian nodded and then headed toward the Dueling Platform as well.
"Sister Xue Qingcheng, this Mo Gang must have some strong backing in the academy, right?" At some point, Ying Tianrui had approached Snow Qincheng and whispered.
Upon hearing this, Snow Qincheng's eyes revealed a hint of shock as she asked in return,
"How do you know?"
Ying Tianrui smiled slightly, his expression carrying a hint of disdain as he said:
"It's simple, because he alone is not enough to develop the Ink Society to such a scale?"
Snow Qincheng did not respond but merely nodded, seemingly confirming Ying Tianrui's speculation.
Aotian, who was nearby, couldn't help but nod upon hearing the conversation between Ying Tianrui and Snow Qincheng. This Ying Tianrui was indeed extraordinary.
The fact that he could deduce the hidden trump card of the Ink Society from some of Mo Gang's performances was truly astonishing.
Aotian also felt a bit curious about who was behind the Ink Society. However, it was not the best time to ask questions, so Aotian decided to wait until after the competition to inquire with Snow Qincheng about the Ink Society.
Looking at the Dueling Platform standing tall in the center of the Duel Arena, Aotian couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
He had only joined the academy for a few months, yet he had already been on the Dueling Platform several times, and each time he faced someone ranked in the top ten of the Inner Courtyard Rankings.
This made Aotian wonder if he had some kind of fate with Xuantian Academy's Dueling Platform.
"Aotian, please!" Mo Gang pointed to the Dueling Platform in front of him, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness, like ancient ice.
Aotian glanced at Mo Gang and then leaped onto the Dueling Platform.
Mo Gang pushed off the ground and landed right in front of Aotian.
"Mo Gang, since you are the leader of the Ink Society, shouldn't our duel have some stakes? Otherwise, wouldn't it undermine your status?" Aotian said with a smile on his lips.
"Hmph, what stakes do you want?" Mo Gang snorted coldly.
"How about this: if I win, you give me one million Mysterious Origin Stones?" Aotian asked.
Mo Gang was slightly taken aback. Most competitions at Xuantian Academy were usually wagered with Contribution Points, and it was rare to use Mysterious Origin Stones as stakes.
After all, Mysterious Origin Stones were currency outside of Xuantian Academy; within the academy, Contribution Points were the primary currency.
However, as the fourth-ranked individual in the Inner Courtyard Rankings, Mo Gang did have some Mysterious Origin Stones. Therefore, he readily agreed to Aotian's proposal:
"Sure, but what if you lose?"
"If I lose, I'll give you a set of advanced Soul Martial Arts. How does that sound?"
"Alright!" Upon hearing Aotian's words, Mo Gang immediately agreed.
Although he was not a Soul Practitioner and found Soul Martial Arts somewhat useless, the value of Soul Martial Arts in Dragon God World was significant.
An advanced set of Soul Martial Arts could easily be exchanged for several million Mysterious Origin Stones. Thus, Mo Gang certainly would not let this opportunity slip by.
Seeing that Mo Gang had accepted his terms, Aotian's face broke into a sly smile. That smile appeared quite cunning, as if he had successfully hooked a fish...
