Chapter 295: Overwhelming Points Advantage, Booking The Entire Four Seas Inn, How Heartless Are You
Chu Kuangren returned to the skybox and found Murong Xuan sitting slumped on the floor. His face was awfully pale and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
“What’s wrong with him? Has he been too heavily injured?”
Without wasting any more time in finding out what was going on, Chu Kuangren immediately cast the Spring Breeze Healing Technique, and the wounds on Murong Xuan rapidly healed.
However, he remained seated on the floor, sapped and powerless.
“Sect Leader, he’s like this because he was scared to bits.”
Standing on the side, Jun Yi explained amusingly.
“Scared?”
“Yes.”
Upon Murong Xuan’s return after defeating Li Yin, he was told about the bet that Chu Kuangren made with the fifteen sage orthodoxies.
It scared him so much that his soul almost left his body. He could not imagine how much the Black Heaven Sect would have had to pay if he had lost.
He could have been the most hated person in the history of Black Heaven Sect!
When he thought of that situation, his legs immediately turned soft and gave way.
“Sect Leader, how could you have made such a bold bet? What if I lost? A meager life like mine is definitely not worth so many soulstones.”
Murong Xuan said frustratingly.
“But did you lose though?”
“I didn’t.”
“Is that not enough then?” Chu Kuangren added.
Such a level of confidence made Murong Xuan feel so touched that he almost shed a tear. All he wanted now was to rush up to Chu Kuangren to give him a hug.
Chu Kuangren kicked him to one side. “We’ve won quite a lot today. When we go back, you guys can eat or buy anything you want. Everything will be on me.”
“All hail Sect Leader!”
All of them were incredibly excited.
“Sect Leader, come on, no matter what, we won these bets because of me. Can you perhaps divide a share for me?” Murong Xuan said sheepishly.
“No.”
“Aw, come on Sect Leader, just a little maybe?”
Looking at the joyous teases in the Black Heaven Sect camp, the faces of those from other orthodoxies twitched inadvertently. Nevertheless, there was nothing they could do about it.
In the judge’s booth, the Thirteenth Prefect had already lost his mood to continue judging the competition. Hence the Twelfth Prefect made the announcement in his place instead. “Because only two of the Black Heaven Sect’s participants out of the entire Group Delta has progressed to the fourth match of the third round, the Black Heaven Sect automatically earns ten additional points!”
“The third match has concluded, and we’ll now announce the points that each orthodoxy has gained. Please have a look, everyone.”
A screen appeared in the air once the Twelfth Prefect finished speaking. On it listed the points that each orthodoxy had gained from each round.
From there, everyone could see that the Black Heaven Sect was currently in first place with 235 points, and in second place was the Overlord Sage Tribe with 140 points. There was almost a hundred points difference between them and the Black Heaven Sect!
“Gosh, the Black Heaven Sect is taking over this championship.”
“Yeah, nobody can stop them in their tracks. I’m sure the championship will be the Black Heaven Sect’s this time around.”
“I agree.”
“They’re too strong.”
“The Black Heaven Sect is invincible!!”
The remaining orthodoxies frowned at that point gap. From the start of the competition until now, Black Heaven Sect had been leading each round with a commanding presence. This was especially true in the second round, where Lan Yu took out a hundred opponents single-handedly, gaining 156 points.
Right now, the Black Heaven Sect’s points were way too ahead of the other orthodoxies. If they were to go on like this, it was certain that they would win this edition’s championship.
The Sky Emperor Palace, Overlord Sage Tribe, and Tempest Mountain held the lead in the other three groups, but their Sect Leaders and Lords did not seem too happy at all.
Although they were also placed first in their respective groups, the Black Heaven Sect’s performance was overwhelmingly superior to theirs. They had swept through the competition like an unstoppable tornado.
The other members in Group Delta looked even more dejected. The Black Heaven Sect’s points advantage was so overwhelming that it felt like a humiliation for them.
“There’s no way we’re going to overturn the advantage that Black Heaven Sect has over us. Even if something bad happens to them in the subsequent rounds, they would still be able to crush us with their points,” Linghu Clan Head said in despair.
“We might not be able to win but getting eliminated from this competition in such a dreadful state shows just how weak we all are. Whatever happens, we must let them have a taste of defeat before the championship concludes!” The Overlord Sage Tribe Leader stared in the direction of Black Heaven Sect as he said.
The remaining few orthodoxies in Group Delta thought the same too.
The third-round had ended.
Along with his group, Chu Kuangren left.
At night, they had a feast.
Chu Kuangren, who had won four and a half billion soulstones, was not stingy at all as he brought everyone to the Four Seas Inn.
“Boss, we’ll book out the entire place tonight.”
Chu Kuangren generously told the manager upon arriving at the inn.
As the biggest inn in the entire First City, the manager of the Four Seas Inn could not help but feel stunned at what he said.
He then said with a smile, “My dear Brother, I hope you’re not joking. We are the largest inn in First City. You’re going to need at least a million Top-tier soulstones to book out our entire place for one night. Besides, there are quite some esteemed guests in our inn. If you booked out the whole place, I’m afraid they won’t be too pleased.”
“Take it.” Chu Kuangren threw a Yin and Yang Ring right at him and said calmly, “Here are five million Top-tier soulstones. If it’s not enough, I’ll get someone to add on the remainder. As for your other guests, tell them that I, Chu Kuangren, has booked this place.”
The manager caught the Yin and Yang Ring, and when he saw that it was filled to the brim with Top-tier soulstones, he gulped. This amount of Top-tier soulstones would cover two months’ worth of Four Seas Inn’s patronage.
However, the manager was even more shocked when he heard Chu Kuangren’s name. ‘My gosh, it’s actually him!’
“Please come this way, Brother Chu. I shall ask our other customers to leave now. Tonight, the Four Seas Inn will only be serving you and your people.” The manager let out a saccharine smile and bowed as he welcomed Chu Kuangren and his group into the inn.
The waiters of the inn also began to usher the other customers out of the inn. The folks who were happily having their meals suddenly turned grumpy.
“Who is this person who thinks he’s so great, huh? To book out the entire place?”
“This Four Seas Inn is so hypocritical. There was a sage orthodoxy who wanted to book the entire place last time too, yet they didn’t allow that. Why did they allow it this time?”
“I haven’t even finished my meal yet.”
Facing the wrath of the customers, one of the administrators walked up to them and explained, “My dear customers, please don’t be upset. As a show of apology, we’ll waiver the charges of all your meals today. We sincerely hope you’d come back to the Four Seas Inn again soon.”
“Administrator Wang, who dares to book out the entire place?”
One of First City’s family sect disciples was disgruntled.
He could be considered one of the Four Seas Inn’s regular patrons. Throughout the years, he had not come across more than a handful of people who could book out the entire Four Seas Inn.
“It’s Sect Leader Chu from Black Heaven Sect.”
Administrator Wang smiled gently.
Clang.
The wine glass in that family sect disciple’s hand immediately dropped onto the floor. “Sect Leader Chu from the Black Heaven Sect. Is it Chu Kuangren?!”
“That’s right.”
“So it’s him. Please pretend that I never asked anything then. I shall be on my way,” that family sect disciple said with an embarrassed smile.
The others calmed down too when they heard that it was Chu Kuangren who booked the whole place.
“Ah, it’s Sect Leader Chu. He’s so generous!”
“Exactly, he truly is a great Sect Leader. Since the Sect Leader has plans tonight, we best not disrupt it then. We shall leave at once.”
No one dared to oppose Chu Kuangren booking the entire place.
Even the First City’s top cultivator clan did not dare to say anything when they heard Chu Kuangren’s name.
With that, hey all left…
Administrator Wang sent the group of customers out.
Then, a few people walked into the inn.
Administrator Wang walked up to them and said, “My dear guests, apologies but today, our whole inn has been booked by Sect Leader Chu. I’m afraid we’re not accepting any other guests for the night.”
“Which Sect Leader Chu pulled this off?”
These few people were sky-prides from a few orthodoxies.
They had lost in today’s competition, so they wanted to come to the Four Seas Inn to drink their sorrows away. However, they did not expect that they would be ruled out by somebody who had booked the entire place.
Lei Mingtian could not help but frown in dissatisfaction.
Beside him, Lady Snowflake had a hunch. “Sect Leader Chu. It’s Sect Leader Chu from the Black Heaven Sect.”
“Rightfully so.”
These few sky-prides felt even more dejected now. Losing to them was one thing, but now that a place to drink their sorrows away had been denied by the same people.
How heartless could they be?!
