Martial Emperor Reborn(Completed) - C1008 Gambling
C1008 Gambling
However, I think that if you take the initiative to apologize to him, he might no longer ask for a bet like this to be held. When the time comes, all of you can come to the Four Great Demonic Beasts’ front and explain this matter.
Lin Long laughed, “Instructor Han, you don’t know, one of my arms is related to me. If I didn’t break my arm, he wouldn’t have cancelled this gamble.”
Hearing Lin Long’s words, Han Yue could only shake his head helplessly.
Following that, a few disciples of the Stone Courtyard s and Lu Lingling also came to look for Lin Long. However, they could only console Lin Long, they could not do anything meaningful.
On the second day, Lin Long arrived at the Compendium Pavilion very early in the morning.
As soon as he arrived at the Compendium Pavilion, he saw a large group of Demonic Sect Disciple surrounding the pavilion. Clearly, they were all here to watch the bet between him and Xiang Hui.
“This Lin Li is really brave, he actually dared to make a bet like this with senior!”
“As far as I know, before he entered the Holy Gate, he did not learn anything systemically, and not many days after he entered the Holy Gate, how could he have entered the second floor?”
“He dares to bet with Senior Brother?”
“Seems like he didn’t want to stay in our Holy Gate for a long time.”
Looking at Lin Long, the surrounding people started to discuss.
Lin Long did not care about the surrounding voices, and directly walked into the library.
Upon entering the Compendium Pavilion, he saw Xiang Zhenghui and the others.
“Lin Li, hurry up and have Elder Dong ask you. We don’t have that much time to waste here with you.” the moment he saw Lin Long, he immediately said to Zheng Hui.
“My apologies, but you must stay on the first floor for twelve hours if you want to take the exam. Yesterday, I only stayed here for twenty hours, which means I must stay here for another four hours before I have the qualifications to take Elder Dong’s examination.” Lin Long smiled indifferently.
“It can’t be. You haven’t even stayed for twenty-four hours?” Hearing Lin Long’s words, all the Demonic Sect Disciple inside were stunned.
They felt that since Lin Long had been to the devil sect for so many days, he must have at least come to the Book Collection Hall many times and stayed there for more than twenty-four hours.
Who would have thought that not even twenty-four hours had passed?
Tsk tsk, you want to enter the second level before you’ve waited twenty-four hours? Zhenghui thought in his heart.
It was precisely because of this that he didn’t mind waiting for another four hours.
“Fine, then I’ll wait for four hours.”
When this news came out, the people outside looked down on Lin Long even more.
They didn’t even have enough time to stay on the first floor for twelve hours. From their point of view, even the most talented genius in the history of the Devil Sect wouldn’t be able to enter the second floor.
Lin Long no longer cared about them, and instead started to read the books in the Devil Sect on the first floor.
Because he came here to decipher the runes, he mainly looked at Jia Lan’s knowledge of runes. Unfortunately, his knowledge of the runes on this level was too little.
Unknowingly, four hours had passed.
Of course, this was for Lin Long, but for Xiang ZhengHui and the others, their lives were like a year. They had come here to see the results, so how would they have the mood to read the books inside?
Therefore, once the four hours were up, they immediately went to urge Lin Long.
However, just as they moved their feet, Lin Long had already headed towards the entrance of Floor 1 which led to Level 2.
After arriving at the entrance, he spoke to the old man guarding the entrance, “Elder Dong, I’ve already stayed at the first floor for twenty-four hours. I’m here for you to ask if you can enter the second floor.”
Hearing Lin Long’s voice, the elder raised his head, he no longer ignored Lin Long like before, but seriously looked at Lin Long a few times.
He had long known that there were so many people outside the library that it was related to Lin Long and Xiang Guang’s bet. After hearing information about Lin Long, he naturally became a little curious about him.
“Un, you are already qualified. I will begin the exam now. I will ask you five questions and you will be able to find the answers to all five questions on the first floor. As long as you answer them, you will be able to enter the second floor.”
“Of course, when I ask a question, you can’t leave here to look for an answer.”
Elder Dong said.
While Elder Dong was asking questions, Zheng Hui and the others weren’t too far away. They could hear the voices of the two, so they weren’t worried that there was something fishy going on.
As time passed, Zheng Hui and the rest’s expression became more and more unsightly, because Lin Long had actually answered the first four questions verbatim.
How could this brat understand so much? This kind of situation made Zheng Hui and the rest wonder in their hearts.
This was because only those who had mastered more than 80% of the first level would be able to solve these four questions.
This was the last question. He hoped that this last question would be able to stop this fellow! In the end, Xiang Zhenghui could only pray in his heart.
However, things did not go as he wished. The final question was still easily solved by Lin Long.
When Lin Long answered the last question, Xiang Zhengguo immediately collapsed on the ground.
As for Lin Long, he did not even look behind him, and directly walked towards the second floor. He knew that no matter how powerful Fang Zheng was, he would not go back on his words.
When the news spread outside, the people outside were equally shocked.
“It can’t be, Lin Li actually entered the second level?”
“Is Lin Li’s grasp of my Holy Gate’s knowledge really that great?” Some people were amazed.
“How could Lin Li possibly enter the second level? Could it be that he colluded with Elder Dong, and Elder Dong gave him a question beforehand? ” Some began to doubt him.
The person beside him quickly knocked on his head, hinting for him to be quiet. Then, he looked around with extreme caution and said, “Don’t speak nonsense with those words of yours.”
“Why?” That person asked doubtfully.
“Elder Dong’s righteousness is well-known in our Holy Gate. A few decades ago, a good friend of his wanted him to help as a false witness, but he was rejected by Elder Dong and not only did he refuse to report it to the Sect Leader, but because of this, his friend was chased out of Holy Gate. His friend was furious, he even came back to take revenge and killed Elder Dong’s son.”
“Even so, Elder Dong doesn’t regret his decision then. Think about it, would such a person collude with Lin Li?”
The man who had knocked him on the head explained.
The person who questioned him asked again, “Then why did you knock my head with such caution?”
“The reason I knocked your head was for your own good. If others had heard about it, they would have reported it to Elder Dong. Elder Dong is a righteous person, he would not have shown any mercy when dealing with people who gossip. There was once a person who had his leg broken by Elder Dong.” The person who knocked on his head said.
Hearing these words, the person in question didn’t dare to make a sound.
Lin Long did not care about what was happening outside, as he was focused on the books on the second floor.
He needed to grasp the knowledge about Jia Lan’s rune from the second layer because if he did not, even if he entered the third layer and obtained the “Jai Lan Grimoire”, he might not be able to do anything about it.
