With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods - Chapter 1255 1255: Bigger stakes
“I have to thank everyone for taking it easy on our Love Sect.”
The moment that Lin Fan said this, it seemed like there was something changed about this room that they were watching from.
The core disciples narrowed their eyes to look at Lin Fan, but there wasn’t anything that they could say since they knew that he had the right to brag like this.
After all, in all of the fights that had just happened, they hadn’t been able to take a single round from the Love Sect.
Even though it wasn’t just Xiao Ming and Huang Xie, they still couldn’t take a single match.
It seemed that the Love Sect’s disciples had really been well trained.
But for those that had sharp eyes, they could see that there was something else about this. They could see that there was something strange about the techniques that the Love Sect disciples used.
Well, it wasn’t that it was strange.
It was just that they had very solid foundations for all of their techniques.
This wasn’t something that was normal, this was clearly something that had been taught to them.
That was why they were able to beat disciples of the same level. Their solid foundations allowed their techniques to be stronger even if they were in the same cultivation level.
When things were equal, naturally the base that one built their cultivation on would come into play. Whoever had the stronger base would be the one that would come out on top in the end.
This was just how it was with the Love Sect’s disciples.
After glaring at him for a bit, the core disciples were about to change the topic before Lin Fan said, “Do you all want to make this a bit more interesting?”
All of the core disciples were caught off guard when they heard this.
They didn’t think that Lin Fan would propose something like this, but it was a lie to say that they weren’t curious. Lin Fan had remained lowkey until now, so they were curious why he would suddenly stand out like this.
In the end, they were even more surprised by what they heard.
“Since we’re already betting, how about we raise the stakes a bit?”
The core disciples couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan with surprised looks before slowly looking at him as if they were trying to figure out if he was being serious or not.
But Lin Fan just looked at them with a calm smile on his face as he waited for their response.
Seeing this, the core disciples just couldn’t help being stun locked as they looked at Lin Fan.
The only thing that they could think was…
“Where does he get this confidence from?”
It wasn’t a matter of having confidence in the disciples of the Love Sect, at this point it was him having confidence that they wouldn’t actually do anything. They were disciples of a demonic sect, so it would only be natural that they would do something to prevent this.
Such as sending their own subordinates as disciples of the sect under them to mess with this tournament. After all, they wouldn’t be able to stay still if the stakes were really raised like this.
Raising the stakes like this was something like a provocation towards these core disciples since there was something to lose now. As such, they would do what they could to make sure that they won.
So that was why they just didn’t understand where he got this confidence from.
In the end, it wasn’t as if they were against this.
In the first place, they had only come to watch the tournament to see what kind of power the Love Sect and the Mu Empire had. They were interested in taking these two things for themselves after all.
What they saw was indeed enough to attract them into wanting to take the Love Sect and even the Mu Empire for themselves. Especially whatever technique the Love Sect was teaching to their disciples.
After all, that was a technique that could raise the foundations of the disciples that learned it.
With this technique, they would be able to train disciples that would be much stronger than those at the same level. This was the scope that one needed when building an elite squad after all.
Only if they could defeat those that were at a higher cultivation level could they be considered reliable.
There was no way to guarantee such a thing, but now there was.
As long as they got their hands on the Love Sect and the technique that they taught their disciples.
“What kind of stakes were you thinking of?” One of the core disciples suddenly asked this.
Though the other core disciples didn’t actually say anything, it was clear by the way that they suddenly turned to look at Lin Fan that they were interested in this matter. They wanted to see just how much they had to bet to take the Love Sect.
After all, it wasn’t as if there was anything that was guaranteed in the world.
So before taking this bet and arranging everything, they had to figure if it was worth it or not.
“I’m not thinking much, I think just a bit of territory would be enough. I’ll wager something that is equal to what you’re willing to offer.”
All of the core disciples were once again surprised to hear this, but it didn’t seem like they were against what Lin Fan was saying. After all, this was what they had been planning in the first place.
They wanted something like this from Lin Fan so they could find a way to get the technique that they wanted, even if they couldn’t get the Love Sect.
But it was hard for them to bring this topic up first while the other core disciples were listening. So the only thing that they could do was look at each other as if they were waiting for the others to make a move.
In the end, there wasn’t a single one of the core disciples that did anything as they all waited for the others to make a move first. But they weren’t able to keep waiting forever since the tournament was still ongoing.
If they wanted to make a move, they needed to seize their time.
“Rather than territory, there’s something else that I’m more personally interested in. I was hoping that we could bet over that.” Then as if he felt like he should add something, that core disciple added, “Of course, I’ll offer something equal in value. No, I’ll offer something even better.”
It was as if he wasn’t holding back anymore.
In fact, it even seemed like he was trying to bribe Lin Fan with the last part of what he said.
When they heard this, the other core disciples couldn’t help knitting their brows. It was just that instead of taking the time to scold this core disciple, it was better for them to make their moves as well.
Which was why they were planning to offer the same thing.
Only before any of them could, Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand and said, “Alright, if that’s what you want, then we can do that. Though on my part, I would prefer if you offered some territory since that’s what I need most right now.”
The core disciples couldn’t help slightly knitting their brows when they heard this since the way that Lin Fan said this was as if he was already confident that he would win this bet.
Still, they didn’t say anything since this meant that Lin Fan was willing to go along with them.
Instead of saying something to ruin this, it was better to lock down this deal so that Lin Fan couldn’t regret it later.
“Of course, we’re happy to offer such a thing. However, we just want to confirm if the technique is the one that we’re looking for.”
Though it was a bit shameless to ask something like this, Lin Fan did take out a sheet of paper for them to read.
The core disciples were once again surprised to see this, but they took this sheet of paper and quickly looked over it together. When they were done looking over this sheet of paper, their eyes were sparkling.
That was because this sheet of paper contained one part of the foundation techniques that they wanted. It wasn’t enough that they would be able to cultivate it themselves, but it was enough for them to see what kind of technique it was.
With this, they were able to confirm that this was indeed what they were looking for and it made them even more excited.
So they didn’t hesitate to offer up their territory as stakes for a bet.
As for what the bet was about, it was naturally a match between the Love Sect disciples and the disciples of their sects.
Lin Fan accepted all of these bets, but there was something else that the core disciples had to add.
It was just that before they could say anything, Lin Fan said, “We’ve already saved slots for your late disciples. Please have them enter the waiting area as soon as possible or else we’ll have no choice but to disqualify them.”
All of them were once again taken aback to hear this.
This confidence…
Fine, if that’s how you want to play…
That was what the core disciples thought, but they had smiles on their faces as they agreed with what Lin Fan said.
Though there was no one with a wider smile than Lin Fan.
