Chapter 233 The Secret Behind the Winning
233 The Secret Behind the Winning
" Err…The match."
The referee of the final match was none other than Wei Heizhu himself.
Even Wei Heizhu was sweating crazily as he looked at Long Ming and Han Cheng with confusion.
" Elder Wei, Hurry up and declare the match result." Long Ming urged.
" Indeed, I have fallen from the stage. So… I already lost." Han Cheng spoke.
" Yes…So… The match ends." Wei Heizhu coughed as he shouted.
" The winner of the Battle Tournament is…Long Ming of Four Seasons Valley!"
The crowd remained silent for a moment till the disciples of Four Seasons Valley cheered.
" Yay! Brother Long did it! He won!"
" Hahaha! I knew it! Brother Long!!"
Even Xia Yuqing was stunned when she saw the scene. Although she was happy to see Long Ming becoming the champion of the Battle Tournament, she was too baffled to see the process of winning.
But the crowd became crazy when they saw that.
" Cheating! This match is a scam!"
" Yes! This is a scam! Refund! Refund my betting money!"
" HAHAHA! I won! I betted on Long Ming!"
" Me too brother! Haha, I doubled my money!"
The Emperor's eyes turned cold when he saw the scene. But even he was helpless when he saw the match result. No matter how absurd the match was, there was no doubt about the result. Long Ming had won rightfully and no matter how much fuss someone caused, it was futile.
" Well, Since the match is over, The reward ceremony will happen shortly."
Amidst the chaos among the crowd, Long Ming put his arms on the shoulder of Han Cheng as he guided him to the camp of Four Seasons Valley.
" Well, Brother Long, I hope you brought the thing which you have promised." Han Cheng looked at Long Ming as he looked at him.
" Of course, Brother Han, I am a man of my words." Long Ming nodded as he looked at Chen Yin. " Chen Yin, Did you brought the thing I asked you to brought from the sect?"
" Haah, I had to spend money to use instant teleportation talismans to rush back to the sect and reach back in time." chen Yin sighed as she handed Long Ming a crystal bottle. " But, I managed to get it."
" Thank you, Chen Yin. You are a great help." Long Ming grinned as he took the bottle and passed it to Han Cheng.
Han Cheng opened the bottle and his eyes shone with a bright light. " This…This is indeed a bottle of True Blood of Three Transformation Xuan Turtle!"
" Well, What's now?" Long Ming grinned. " Didn't I promise you? Now, Are you happy?"
" Although I am happy, I will be happier if you also keep your second promise." Han Cheng looked at Long Ming as he spoke.
" Of course, I will do it too." Long Ming nodded with a smile. Han Cheng nodded as he turned around and left.
" This… What the hell happened?" Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming with suspicion.
" Well, Everything happened two days ago…"
.
.
Two days ago, Long Ming was strolling in the Royal Alchemy Garden when he saw Han Cheng.
" This Han Cheng, What is he doing?"
Long Ming was curious as he secretly followed him. Han Cheng spent some time on the reception counter of the commission hall before turning around to leave.
After he left, Long Ming went to reception desk and showed his token.
" Sister, That young man named Han Cheng, What was he doing here?"
" Ah, He?" The girl sitting at the reception desk nodded. " He just put a commission here."
" What sort of commission?"
" A vial of true blood of a Xuan Turtle that must have completed at least two transformations."
Long Ming was shocked when he saw the rewards of the commission. It was actually a million high grade spirit stones!
' Damn it! Han Cheng is really rich. No, It must be from the Heavenly Cloud Palace.' Long Ming mumbled inwardly.
Look at Heavenly Cloud Sect! Even a disciple is carrying a million high grade spirit stones.
And here, Long Ming is still being the breadwinner of his sect.
But at least, Four Seasons Valley was filled with beauties. So, Long Ming didn't have many complaints.
But after that, Long Ming remembered that he got a Three Transformations Xuan Turtle from the Azure Sun Secret Realm.
So, Long Ming rushed to Han Cheng to inquire about it.
" Huh? Young Master Long, What a surprise." Han Cheng looked at Long Ming with a surprised gaze.
" Why are you looking for the true blood of a Xuan Turtle?"
" Uhh… That." Han Cheng was a bit skeptical when he heard Long Ming asking about it, but he nodded.
" Because I need to it refine the Ancestral Blood Pill of rank six." Hna Cheng answered. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
" What if I say I can give you a vila of blood, of three transfomations Xuan Turtle?" Long Ming spoke.
" What? Three Transformation one?" Han Cheng was surprised. " They are too rare to find. Brother Long, If you give it to me, I will give you its appropriate price."
" N-No, I don't need much price." Long Ming grinned. " I just need you to do one thing. I wonder if you think it's worth of a vial of true blood?"
" What is it, Brother Long?" Han Cheng asked in a curious voice.
" Lose the match tomorrow."
Han Cheng was taken aback when he heard that. " Brother Long, Are you afraid you will lose to me?" He couldn't help but let out a dry laugh.
" But your strength is very good. You shouldn't be that afraid."
" I am not afraid, Brother Han." Long Ming shook his head. " I am just too lazy to fight you."
" … "
Han Cheng looked at Long Ming with a speechless expression when he heard that. Too lazy to fight? Bribing the opponent because you are too lazy to fight.
" But that's very unethical…"
" Brother Han, I know you are a battle maniac." Long Ming smiled. " But imagine, won't it be fun if we fight one year later? We would have grown more powerful and acquired more treasures. The fight would be much more exciting than the current one."
" So, How about this? If you want to prove yourself, we can fight a year later."
Han Cheng was shocked when he heard Long Ming's proposal.
" Also, I don't think the prize of first place is that alluring for you. But if you want, I can think about it to exchange it with you."
" So, Are you still unwilling?"
Han Cheng fell into deep thought when he heard that. He had been searching for the true blood of Xuan Turtle for a while. And now he had found it, a new situation rose.
He didn't believe Long Ming was trying to ask him to admit defeat because he was afraid. But it was even more absurd that he didn't want to fight because he was lazy.
Therefore, Han Cheng nodded.
" But how would I know if you are deceiving me?"
" I promise on my dao heart." Long Ming spoke in a solemn voice." After you admit defeat, I will give you the vial right there.
And, Just like that, Long Ming bought his final opponent.
In fact, Long Ming wasn't completely lazy to fight off Han Cheng. But he was afraid what if Han Cheng would pull out some powerful treasures like Shu Gongyan's insect figurine.
Just because Long Ming had the Dark Gold grade Insect Repellent Talisman, he was able to win the match. If it wasn't there, it was hard to tell if Long Ming had won.

" Really? You bribed Han Cheng just because you didn't wanted to fight him?" Xia Yuqing was stunned as she looked at Long Ming with a strange gaze.
" Damn it, that sounds so…Strange." Mu Qinglian spat. " Why you used such an underhanded method?"
" What underhanded method?" Long Ming snorted lightly. " I just used a different tactic to make my opponent surrender. Not to mention, such a win is more of a face slap for all our enemies."
" Indeed, Brother Long is so smart! I agree with it."
" I can't see Brother Long doing anything wrong."
All the female disciples surrounded Long Ming as they started to support him, making Long Ming grin with triumph.
" Hmph! Silence!"
Mu Qinglian shouted, making all of them silent at once. " You guys had been faithful to me for years. Yet now, you are all sucking up to Long Ming who barely came here for months?"
" But sucking Brother Long off…It's kinda tasty though…" Lin Xie mumbled.
" What did you say?"
" Ahh…I said, Brother Long is so good…" Lin Xie hurriedly changed her words. " But don't worry, Senior Sister Mu. We are all still loyal to you."
" That's more like it." Mu Qinglian nodded with a smile.
Xia Yuqing sighed as she saw everyone was still cheering for Long Ming.
" Meng Meng, Tell me I am not dreaming." Xia Yuqing looked at Meng Zhi. " We... We really won the Battle Tournament?"
" Yes, Sister Xia." Meng Zhi pinched her, making Xia Yuqing push her aside. " Gosh, You are pinching too tight!"
" Anyway, Since we have bested all the sects..." Meng Zhi gave a devilish grin. " Doesn't that mean we all won the betting of cultivation resources?"
