“What’s going on?”
Lin Yun was utterly shocked. This Wuji Token was one of the rewards he had received after passing through the Wuji Heavenly Palace when he ventured into the Wuji Realm.
However, since obtaining this token, Lin Yun had tried every possible method but could not activate it, nor did he know its purpose.
Now, the token suddenly emitted a fluctuation. How could Lin Yun not be surprised?
The token’s fluctuation lasted only a moment before immediately subsiding.
At that time, Lin Yun was still in the arena, so he did not rush to take out the token to examine it. Instead, he quickly returned to the stands.
“Brother Lin Yun, congratulations!”
Wu Chengtian saw Lin Yun return and immediately stood up to offer his congratulations.
“Brother Lin Yun, you’re incredible!” Wu Qing and Wu Yue also stood up excitedly, their faces full of smiles.
“By the way, Brother Lin Yun, do you… do you really have some significant background?” Wu Chengtian couldn’t help but ask.
Wu Chengtian had overheard Lin Yun’s conversation with Wu Jun in the arena.
Coupled with Lin Yun’s display of astonishing strength, it naturally reinforced this notion in his mind. Moreover, Lin Yun had always given him a mysterious vibe.
“This…” Lin Yun gave an awkward smile, unsure how to respond.
“Haha, if it’s inconvenient for Brother Lin Yun to say, no need to explain. Having some secrets is normal, and I won’t pry further,” Wu Chengtian said with a laugh.
“Brother, you bet on Brother Lin Yun to win. Hurry and collect your reward,” Wu Qing reminded.
“Then I’ll be right back,” Wu Chengtian said, before standing up with a smile and leaving.
In this battle, the majority had bet on Wu Chengtian’s victory, so most of the spectators undoubtedly lost their bets.
However, in such betting matches, wins and losses were quite normal.
Those who lost could only grumble that Wu Jun was too weak.
Lin Yun flipped his hand, revealing the Wuji Token.
“What exactly is going on?” Lin Yun looked at the Wuji Token in his hand, filled with confusion.
“Hey, you’re quite impressive,” a soft, pleasant voice sounded.
Lin Yun turned his head and saw that the speaker was the female elf sitting nearby.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a sweet tongue, even praising others,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Hearing this woman, who resembled Wang Xue, compliment him made Lin Yun feel quite pleased.
The female elf pouted, “Don’t get the wrong idea.”
…
On the other side.
After Wu Jun left the arena, he first went to the audience seats to meet up with Young Master Gang.
“Wu Jun, you really brought shame to your Wu family, and you’ve even disgraced yourself in Heart City,” a mocking voice rang out.
“Who’s that!”
Wu Jun’s expression changed, and he quickly looked toward the source of the voice. It was the young master of a rival faction of the Wu clan in Kaiyang County, someone who had always been his archenemy.
“What, Wu Jun, you don’t even recognise me, Ao Youcheng?” the man said with a laugh.
Wu Jun hadn’t expected to run into him here.
Realising that his humiliation today had been witnessed by this man, Wu Jun felt even more ashamed.
“Hmph!”
With no face to stay any longer, Wu Jun let out a cold snort and quickly walked forward.
He soon returned to his seat, where Young Master Gang, who had come with him, was also present.
“Young Master Wu Jun, your performance today was quite poor,” Young Master Gang said, shaking his head.
“Young Master Gang, let’s end today’s visit to Baixiang House and head back,” Wu Jun said, forcing a smile.
“Young Master Wu Jun, I can’t bear to leave with you now. It’s too embarrassing. Let’s part ways here,” Young Master Gang said indifferently.
Those words left Wu Jun feeling as though something was stuck in his throat, his heart filled with a bitterness akin to eating dirt.
After a long pause, he forced a smile and nodded, “Alright, Young Master Gang, we’ll part ways here and meet up another time.”
Young Master Gang gave no response and simply stood up to leave.
Seeing Young Master Gang depart, Wu Jun had no face to linger any longer and quickly left as well.
…
On the other side.
Wu Chengtian collected his reward and soon returned.
“What a haul, earning 40 million in one go. Brother Lin Yun, this is all thanks to you,” Wu Chengtian said, his face full of smiles, as the odds for betting on Lin Yun were quite high.
This gain was substantial for Wu Chengtian.
“Brother Lin Yun, without you, I wouldn’t have earned this money. Here’s 40 million, half for you,” Wu Chengtian said, handing over a storage ring.
“Brother Wu, keep it for yourself. I also earned quite a bit just now,” Lin Yun said with a smile, pushing the storage ring back.
