"I hope that by then, Brother Luo can still maintain this calm demeanor."
Xiao Yun turned around and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark before leaving.
"You don't have to do this at all," Lin Hu said to Luo Chen. Even if Sun Qian came looking for trouble today, as long as he persisted, Sun Qian would never expel Luo Chen from the sect.
Lin Hu is right, Sun Qian came today just to embarrass Lin Hu, as their private relationship is not good.
Luo Chen is just an excuse, but didn't expect Luo Chen to take over Mo Jun's gambling battle so forcefully.
Even Lin Hu didn't expect Luo Chen to agree so readily. Although Mo Jun lacks talent, he has been practicing for many years. His strength may not be comparable to theirs, but it should not be underestimated.
"I know that senior brother can decline this duel on my behalf. But, senior brother can help me once, but not every time. If I can't prove my own strength, I think they will come to make things difficult for me again."
"You're right," Lin Hu said, looking surprised at Luo Chen, clearly not expecting him to say such a thing. There was a stronger sense of admiration in his eyes.
"Strength is always the best way to prove oneself, so I look forward to your performance."
"I won't let senior brother down."
"Don't worry, I have confidence in the boss," Lei Man said nonchalantly. Although his eyes had been filled with worry earlier, upon hearing Luo Chen's words, they regained their luster.
Believe in your boss.
"Okay, Qin Yue, take Luo Chen to his residence and take him to the sect for a visit."
"Okay, senior brother, we're leaving first," the four of them said to Lin Hu with a slight bow before departing.
After the four of them left, they went straight to their residence. Along the way, Qin Yue still looked somewhat worried, even though Luo Chen was already very strong, he was facing Mo Jun.
Looking at Qin Yue's expression, Luo Chen could only shake his head helplessly.
The four of them shuttled between the corridors, and when they passed by a certain place, Qin Yue stopped.
"This is the gambling arena, right?" Luo Chen spoke first this time.
In front of them, instead of the attic, they saw a huge stone platform, square in shape, with four massive stone pillars standing at each corner.
On the four stone pillars, there are respectively carved the four divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, appearing very majestic.
On the enormous square battle platform, it is further divided into many smaller platforms, allowing for dozens or even hundreds of battles to take place simultaneously.
Obviously, this is the "gambling arena" that Han Qing mentioned earlier. At this moment, there are dozens of figures fighting on the gambling arena. Each fierce attack pounds the ground of the arena, yet leaves no trace.
"What hard stones," Luo Chen exclaimed. Obviously, the material used to build this gambling arena must be extraordinary, otherwise the arena would have been riddled with holes.
"Exactly, this is the 'gambling arena,'" said Qin Yue beside him.
"Look over there," Qin Yue pointed to the back of the arena. Following Qin Yue's hand, there was a very high loft behind the arena, even higher than the arena itself. At the very top of the loft were two huge characters that read 'gambling battle.'
Next to the attic, there are rows of stone pillars surrounding the entire platform. At this moment, many figures are standing on those pillars, turning out to be the spectator area.
Suddenly, the Azure Dragon stone pillar next to Luo Chen shimmered, and then several characters appeared on it.
Qinglong District, Sixteen Battle Platform, Lu Ming vs Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian wins!
"This,..." Luo Chen was somewhat speechless.
"Dueling continues until one side is unable to continue, or one side concedes defeat, but it is not permissible to take a person's life or destroy their cultivation. Otherwise, it will be handled according to the sect rules. After determining the outcome, the result will be announced by the battle zone's stone pillars."
"I see."
"Since this is the gambling arena, where is the 'Life and Death Platform'?"
"Hehe." Lei Man chuckled. "Boss, look, the 'Life and Death Platform' is right there."
The rough fingers slowly pointed behind them, in the opposite direction of the gambling arena.
Only to see Lei Man's pointed place was a cliff, very far away from them, only a vague shadow could be seen.
Between the steep cliffs, there is an extremely wide crack, as if it had been split open by an axe. Amidst the crack, a hurricane swept through, causing dust to fly in the air, and within that flying dust, a battle platform loomed faintly.
"Life and Death Platform!" murmured Luo Chen. Even from such a distance, Luo Chen seemed to sense the murderous aura on the battle platform.
"The canyon is called 'Fenglei Valley,' according to legend, it was formed when a heavenly thunderbolt struck the mountain wall, creating this 'Fenglei Valley,'" explained Qin Yue.
"Heavenly thunderbolt..." Luo Chen murmured. If it was caused by a heavenly thunderbolt, it was acceptable, but if it was caused by a person, then the strength of that person could only be described as terrifying.
"Alright." Qin Yue turned around and patted Luo Chen.
"The Life and Death Platform is not a good place. If two people go up, only one can come down. Don't even think about going up to play."
"Luo Chen was taken aback. When did he become so funny?
"Let's continue walking," they said, and the four of them continued on their way.
After that, Qin Yue took Luo Chen to many places. However, by this time, Luo Chen was already used to seeing new things.
He had developed immunity to these unfamiliar things. In the end, Qin Yue took Luo Chen to a residential area.
"This is the place where the freshmen live... Nine Spirits Garden."
"Not bad." Luo Chen eyes slightly lit up. In front, there were rows of bamboo houses, with a small stream flowing outside, surrounded by willow trees, which appeared particularly pleasant.
"You can stay there." Qin Yue pointed to a bamboo house further inside, and then Luo Chen walked in the direction she pointed.
"Squeak~" The door was pushed open, revealing a quaint little courtyard with some flowers and plants. The bamboo house had two floors, more than enough space for Luo Chen to stay alone.
Not only that, what excites Luo Chen even more is that the spiritual energy in the courtyard is much richer than outside.
"This is the freshman area, and beneath these bamboo houses is inscribed with a Soul Gathering Formation. It can be used to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy of the heavens and earth."
"Soul Gathering Formation!" Luo Chen was slightly surprised.
Soul Gathering Formation. When I was young, my grandfather told me that Soul Gathering Formation can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, increase the density of spiritual energy in one's cultivation area, and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy by the cultivator.
Of course, the Soul Gathering Formation is graded, and the higher the level of the Soul Gathering Formation, the better the effect of gathering spiritual power. Thinking of this, Luo Chen turned to look at Qin Yue.
"I wonder, what level is this Soul Gathering Formation?"
"One level." Qin Yue uttered in a light tone.
Luo Chen's face immediately darkened, just one level...
"However," Luo Chen thought to himself.
If the gathering effect of a first-level Soul Gathering Formation is so significant, then what about the advanced Soul Gathering Formations?
Thinking of this, Luo Chen felt a little bit of anticipation.
"Do we have a more advanced Soul Gathering Formation in our sect?"
