Chapter 285 – Open Bets

Bell stealthily glanced at the surroundings, there were no abnormalities.

Yong An City was a Blood Soul City, where Onyx Souls used their blood meridians and martial spirits to set up strongholds in the spirit region, and was also one of Bell’s most active strongholds. Just spending some contribution points, would allow one the right to enter Yong An City.

A drop of Yong An Blood.

Once the Yong An Blood was injected into the body, the martial artists could arrive at Yong An City from any Star Door of a spirit region anywhere.

The Honorable Martial Group had the Honorable Martial Plate, while the Onyx Souls have the Blood Soul City, each had their merits.

Yong An City has rather good security, for it was Onyx Soul’s territory after all. However, not only were Onyx Soul’s people in the city, there were many other martial artists from other areas. For a Blood Soul City of a scale like Yong An City to be able to produce around 300 thousand drops of Yong An Blood, it meant that Yong An City can house 300 thousand people.

Reselling Yong An Blood was also a profitable thing to do, however, it was tough to do..

Bell had no interest in reselling the Yong An Blood, as she was here more to seek information. As it was the stronghold of Onyx Soul, many Onyx Soul horses would appear in Yong An City and exchange information.

Iron Horns Tavern, a pair of large iron horns, hung on the door.

The size of the tavern was shockingly massive, three thousand tables lined up in rows, and was as spectacular as some large-scale academies. The tavern was not full, but was crowded with people, scattered around, and bustled with activity. The backing of Iron Horns Tavern, was an Elder of Onyx Soul, along with experts stationed for the whole year, no one dared to create trouble here. This was the exact reason why, this was the safest place in Yong An City.

Sales of information, sales of items, business meetings, etc.; almost everything one could think of would be available here.

Bell skillfully asked for a glass of plum juice, casually found a corner and sat down. Fishing for information was a job that required patience. She had been in this job for years. The qualifications for Silver Onyx Horse this time was not easily obtained.

Suddenly, dang dang dang, rolls of gongs sounded in the tavern.

The tavern quietened down instantly, Bell continued to sip her plum juice, without raising an eyelid, for the tavern would always open bets everyday. This was an information hub, information spread far and wide, the bets placed were all strange as well.

For example, if someone wanted to assault the sword saint, they would open bets to bet on whether it would be a success.

Another example, if an aristocratic clan held a wedding, they would bet if someone would gatecrash and cause a ruckus.

Bell has long been used to it.

A thick voice echoed in the tavern.

“Today’s bet is on the Battle of Lupus Constellation, there are two parties to bet on, one would be Tang Tian, the other Wu Tie Yu, there’s no limit of Star Coins, may everyone show their powers, and boost the market, may everyone earn more.”

At the same time, words of “Tang Tian VS Wu Tie Yu” appeared on the walls of the tavern.

Bell was instantly stunned.

Interested customers bought a set of information from the waiter for 5 Star Coins, which was quite informative. While those customers with background, started to move close to each other and discussed.

Before Bell could react, the numbers behind the name “Wu Tie Yu” on the walls started to increase rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the numbers behind “Wu Tie Yu” jumped to 2,000,000, while the numbers behind “Tang Tian”, only had 150,000.

Bell’s heart sank.

This meant that the bets on Wu Tie Yu’s victory, already had 2 million Star Coins, while the bets on Tang Tian’s victory, only had 150 thousand Star Coins!

The well-versed Bell had a sense of ill-boding, she was an expert, with much experience. Usually, the ones who bet first, are usually people with the most information, these people, were totally not optimistic about Tang Tian!

She tried her best to calm down, called the waiter, and bought a set of information.

Then she could no longer hold it in, and her expression changed drastically.

Fire Wolf Tribe.

Ling Xu gritted his teeth, the power of the medicinal liquid, seeped into his body continuously. The pin-prick pain, attacked his entire body, and beads of perspiration rolled down his cheeks, into the medical barrel.

The black medicinal liquid, tossed and turned like a monster, his body trembled almost inconspicuously, his eyes shut tight, as he bared with the tremendous pain.

Moments later, the medicinal liquid in the barrel slowly calmed down, and the black medicinal liquid turned clear.

The expression of pain on Ling Xu’s face, gradually disappeared as well.

Hoo.

He gently blew out a long breath. A bead of sweat rolled down the bridge of his nose. The silverish eyelashes tremored, as his eyes slowly opened. The orangey-red pupils were unusually calm, without the fury and intensity of his past.

He felt as though he had been given a new lease on life.

He stood in front of the mirror, his skin glowed silvery-gold on his odd-shaped body, which presented a form of a distorted but oddly beautiful feeling. Other than the face which was a tad too white, there were no abnormalities. Ling Xu raised his palms, the palms which used to be black as iron, were now beautifully long and slender like a girl’s hand. The eye-catching silver colour, made this palm seemed as though a work of art.

The five silver fingers were clasped together, and gently waved his palms.

Poof!

A sharp sound pierced through the air, an almost undetectable trace flashed.

Was this silverization… …

Ling Xu felt an extremely fine silver liquid surged into his silver palm, this was the power of silverization.

The silverization process had started to erode his bones.

Previously Sheep Horn Wind Bells enhanced his Pointed Sea Spear, and the rate of silverization, was greatly increased. His skin, flesh, blood and tendons, had already silverized, even the surface of his bones, had spots of silver appearing.

His hair was like strands of finely polished silver strands, even his eyelashes, had become silver.

Coming out from the medical barrel, his spine had already started to hurt, for the pain brought by silverization, was extremely intense. If not for Ling Xu’s current willpower, which was much stronger than before, he would be extremely uncomfortable.

He stretched out his fingers, moments later, a drop of silver rolled off of his silver fingertips.

Ling Xu’s orange pupils were fixed on this silver drop.

After silverization, the body will produce a silver liquid, and this silver liquid can flow easily in his body, unlike True Power, which can only flow along the meridians. Now, his body could only produce just one drop of silver liquid.

The silver liquid was akin to a droplet of melted silver.

From the silver liquid, he could sense an unspeakable air of danger.

The silver liquid suddenly dissolved into his finger, and remained in the index finger, from the corner of his eyes, Ling Xu saw a gold shield at the side. This was a common shield of the desert armies, the shield was not large, around half a meter wide, which can be easily tied to the arm. It was made entirely with steel, and the front of the shield had a carving of a camel.

Ling Xu did not summon any True Power, but lightly tapped his index finger on the surface of the shield, poof, as though cutting a tofu, his index finger completely sank into the shield.

Ling Xu was stunned, and his eyes glinted.

So powerful!

This shield was known for its sturdiness, and he used to channel more than 50% of his True Power, before he could achieve the same effect with his finger. He raised his finger, poof poof poof, in the blink of an eye, the shield was filled with holes, like a beehive.

Yet the silver liquid was not in the least damaged.

Ling Xu’s expression turned grim, after much hesitation, he channelled 50% of his True Power, and rammed his index finger into the shield.

Bang!

The shield suddenly exploded before him, into steel scraps and powder.

Ling Xu stared dazedly at the floor of steel scraps and powder, his heart overturning like waves.

What exactly is this silver liquid?

He obviously knew the prowess of it, if he was good at fists, palms and claws, with a finger and palm, his opponent would crumble into powder.

Suddenly, Ling Xu had a thought, and grabbed his silver spear.

He recalled, his silver spear, was continuously silverised as well. In the beginning, silverization seemed to be a tenacious virus to him, continuously eroding all that he came into contact with. However after that, he realized, besides spreading in his body, silverization could also occur in his spear as well!

The rate of silverization of the silver spear was very low, only the surface was thinly silverised. Even so, the silver spear seemed to glow even more than before. Ling Xu attempted to channel the silver liquid into his silver spear, but was soon met with resistance, for the silver liquid was unable to penetrate below the surface of the spear.

The silver liquid could only flow in areas that were silverised.

Ling Xu seemed to understand, but he suddenly developed an audacious thought. Since the silver spear was only silverised on the surface, then he would spread his silver liquid thinly and flatly, to wrap the silver spear.

The silver liquid rapidly spread itself flat and thin following Ling Xu’s thoughts, and wrapped around the silver spear in the blink of an eye.

Ling Xu’s gaze swept across the room, and finally landed in the corner upon a gigantic hammer over 240kg, it seemed to be used by martial artists in the past for strength training, but it seemed like it has not been used for a long time, for it was covered in dust.

He rubbed his silver finger.

A spot of cold aura hit the hammer.

Bang!

The giant hammer instantly exploded into a heap of metal scraps and powder before Ling Xu, even the pieces of metal scraps that rebounded on the walls left numerous tiny holes.

Ling Xu was also stunned by such amazing power, and was dumbfounded. A hammer of over 240kg, it was not difficult to put a hole through, or smash it to pieces, but to instantly crumble it like this, must require a horrendous strength.

This was just a drop of silver liquid… …

This was just the spear surface that was silverised… …

If the entire silver spear was silverised, with numerous drops of silver liquid channelled into the spear tip, Ling Xu did not even dare to imagine the prowess. He suddenly realized that this silver spear, might actually be an ancient treasure left behind by the Silver Frost Mounts, which was made just for silverization.

So silverization not only brought about pain, but such benefits as well!

Ling Xu was suddenly enlightened.

However, after the most initial shock, Ling Xu recovered his senses, and understood that he was just dreaming, for the rate of silverization of the spear, was much slower than that of his body. After his entire body was fully silverised, the silver spear might not even be completely silverised yet.

He would not have died of pain by then right… …

Ling Xu in the mirror suddenly broke into laughters, he was amused by his ridiculous thought. After spending a long time with the crazy lad, it really lowered his IQ!

He started to use the bandage, and carefully wrapped himself. He used a lot of strength, for many times, the bandage could help to secure his spine, and soothe the pain.

Only when the bandage completely covered his body did he then stop.

The eerie image portrayed by the silver metallic glow and odd-shaped body vanished, and the lad in the mirror resumed his usual good looks and cheerfulness, the calm orange pupils gradually warmed up, and set ablaze.

“Ling Xu, fight!”

Ling Xu wielded his spear and stood up, softly speaking to the lad into the mirror.
