“Remuneration? What kind of reward can be exchanged for this spirit technique?”
Gu Xi laughed with a strange expression and her tone seemed to be a little disdainful.
Seeing him like this, everyone’s faces were filled with anger. He, Gu Xi, was probably the first person who dared to do this in front of the Zhan Clan’s head.
If it was anyone else, they would probably be dying to hand over the Valiant Heavenly Divine Palm to avoid getting themselves into trouble. Gu Xi was the complete opposite of ordinary people. He seemed to be unafraid of anything and did not care about the Zhan Clan.
“That will depend on what kind of payment you want, Young Friend.”
Zhan Wushuang chuckled and continued after some deliberation, “As long as you’re willing to take out your Valiant Heavenly Divine Palm, then you can choose any one of the spirit skills and spirit weapons in the Zhan Clan’s Treasure Pavilion. You can also exchange them for spirit stones of the same price.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but burst into a burst of exclamations.
The Treasure Pavilion of a first-rate power, especially a family like the Zhan Clan that had a long history, could be said to have a myriad of treasures. There were all sorts of spirit skills and spirit tools of different grades. Choosing one of them at will was something that many people dreamed of doing.
As Zhan Wushuang’s voice fell, everyone’s line of sight involuntarily fell on Gu Xi. They could not wait to get Gu Xi’s answer.
In their opinion, no one could resist such a great temptation.
As long as he handed over the Divine Palm, not only would Gu Xi be able to receive a huge reward, but he would also be considered to have done the Zhan Clan a favor. In the future, even if he left the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he could use this matter to join the Zhan Clan and not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life!
However, Gu Xi’s answer once again stunned everyone.
“I refuse.”
These two simple words made everyone present so surprised that they could not close their mouths.
Many people even suspected that Gu Xi’s brain was broken, and some people felt that if he could not even meet such conditions, perhaps he was trying to demand an exorbitant price.
“Young man, you should know when to stop!”
“Don’t offend someone you shouldn’t offend because of this, or you won’t even have time to regret it!”
Many people scolded Gu Xi for not knowing what was good for him.
In the face of these people’s reprimand, Gu Xi smiled disdainfully. He slowly swept his eyes across everyone present and said indifferently, “As for why I rejected your conditions, the reason is very simple. It’s because your Zhan Clan’s so-called ultimate technique is on a completely different level compared to my Divine Palm.”
“What a joke! This is the biggest joke in the world!”
An old man trembled with anger and pointed at Gu Xi’s nose.
Gu Xi did not pay any attention to him, and his gaze fell back on Zhan Wushuang, who was sitting at the head of the table. He continued, “If you don’t believe me, we can have a competition.”
On the leader’s seat, Zhan Wushuang raised his brows and could not help but feel a little surprised.
He had never thought that the young man in front of him would have the guts to challenge him.
Before he could respond, the hall burst into a series of sneers again.
“You dare to challenge the Clan Master with your strength? What a joke!”
“That’s right. I’m afraid you won’t even know how you died.”
“I’ve seen young and frivolous people, but I’ve never seen such an arrogant person!”
“Don’t look down on everything just because you have some fame. There are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. You still need to understand this principle.”
Mocking voices sounded one after another, but Gu Xi still looked indifferent.
“As the head of the Zhan Clan, Master Zhan’s strength is naturally outstanding. I’m naturally not stupid enough to really challenge a Great Saint. My method of competition is also very simple. You and I will use the same spiritual energy to use the Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist and Valiant Heavenly Divine Palm. The result will be the best proof of which spirit skill is better.”
Gu Xi said as she stared at Zhan Wushuang, who was sitting at the head of the table.
After being extracted by the System, the ferocious Valiant Heavenly Divine Palm could achieve a 100 percent chance of crushing the ferocious Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist with the same spiritual energy and the same realm.
Gu Xi had great confidence in this battle.
“That’s good, but I have a request,” Zhan Wushuang said without any hesitation.
Gu Xi smiled and motioned for him to continue.
The corners of Zhan Wushuang’s mouth curled up and he continued, “If I win, then you must hand over the Valiant Heavenly Divine Palm in your hands for free, and you must not use this spirit skill for the rest of your life. Otherwise, once my Zhan Clan finds out, you will definitely be severely punished!”
“Sure, but if you lose, then during the Grand Sect Competition, your Zhan Clan must admit defeat to my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in front of everyone and withdraw from the competition!”
Gu Xi put forward his request with a smirk on his face.
Compared to the shock of him defeating the remaining members of the Zhan Clan one by one, it was definitely not as intense as letting the Zhan Clan admit defeat in front of nearly a hundred thousand spectators!
Everyone knew that the Zhan Clan loved to fight, and to make them admit defeat and give up on the competition was harder than ascending to the Heavens.
Upon hearing this condition, Zhan Wushuang could not help but hesitate.
“Don’t hesitate, Clan Master. This rat is definitely not your opponent!”
Seeing that Zhan Wushuang was silent, someone in the crowd immediately spoke up.
Many people nodded in agreement.
In a battle between a Great Saint and a Saint, even if the former suppressed his cultivation to the Sage stage, the latter would definitely not be the former’s opponent.
That was indeed the case, but it was not absolute!
“Since Little Friend has already agreed to my conditions, if I don’t agree, I’m afraid I’ll become a laughingstock if word gets out.”
Zhan Wushuang laughed and his voice was filled with confidence, “Since we can’t display our skills here, let’s go outside and have a good competition.”
After saying that, Zhan Wushuang took the lead and left the main hall. Gu Xi and the rest of the people in the main hall followed him.
Soon, the group arrived at the courtyard of the mansion. As there was no arena in the mansion, they could only make do with it here.
The news of Gu Xi’s duel with Zhan Wushuang spread quickly, and many of the Zhan Clan’s younger generation came out one after another. Even Zhan Hong and the other top disciples showed up, but they were obviously waiting to see Gu Xi’s performance.
In the middle of the courtyard, Gu Xi looked at Zhan Wushuang, and said with a smile, “Regardless of the outcome, I hope that the Zhan Clan Master will honor the agreement.”
“A gentleman never goes back on his word.” Zhan Wushuang nodded with an indifferent expression.
“If that’s the case, let’s start.”
