Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

The Thirteen Bandits of the Sand Sea are considered a well-known force.

In the past, the Caravan and Shipping Guilds had contacted them, all wanting to subdue them.

However, the thirteen bandits were very tough, choosing to retreat or fight, maneuvering skillfully and refusing to yield.

Now they are causing trouble, and the rumors are spreading like wildfire in the outer city.

Black Water Gang Headquarters

Shui Qianjun: "Did the Thirteen Bandits eat leopard's gall(豹子胆: leopard's gall - meaning to become very brave or audacious)?"

Vice Leader Zhao: "The youngsters below are making a fuss."

The little tricks of the Sixth Young Master cannot be concealed from the two of them.

Several candidates are in a competitive relationship.

It would be strange if there were no friction.

"Is Tang Wen still at the Pleasure Pavilion?"

"Probably."

"Has it been half a month?"

Vice Leader Zhao nodded: That's right, he hasn't been seen coming down since he went up to the Pleasure Pavilion. I don't know why he hasn't invited me up for a visit.

Young people still need to abstain from sexual indulgence in order to achieve something.

Vice Leader Zhao: "How about I go and remind him?"

"No need! He has to experience this sooner or later."

Tang Wen's foundation is solid. Even if he indulges in pleasure for a few years, he can still reach the sixth rank before the age of thirty.

"In that case, this kid is probably going to lose face this time!"

Black Water Gang, Sixth Young Master's Residence.

As a gambling enthusiast, he has opened a betting pool.

The leader of the Thirteen Bandits of the Sand Sea challenged Tang Wen, which is a good day to open a betting pool.

The two sides agreed to a limit of ten moves.

【Tang Wen defeated in one move, bet ten to win one】

Bettors came in an endless stream, and the number of people betting on this option was the second highest.

Apparently, some people thought that Tang Wen could not withstand a single move.

【Tang Wen defeated in three moves, bet five to win one】

Betting on this option was the most popular.

Obviously, most people thought that Tang Wen, the number one genius who had just entered the extraordinary realm, had some skills, but not much.

At most, he could withstand three moves before kneeling.

【Ten moves of mutual exchange, bet one to win twenty】

The rule of the competition is that Tang Wen wins if he blocks ten moves.

But no one thinks he can win.

"The Third Elder of the Caravan Guild has arrived."

"Vice President Zhou of the Chamber of Commerce has arrived."

"The Courtesan Feng, the most beautiful woman of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, has arrived..."

People who like to join in the fun came one after another.

When Feng Sanniang arrived, the Sixth Young Master personally greeted her: "Miss Feng has also come to support us! What an honor!"

"Sixth Young Master, aren't you afraid of losing by opening this betting pool?"

"Hey! Who says I'm not? My original intention was to build momentum for our Seventh Young Master. Who would have thought that everyone is so clear-headed and unwilling to take risks when placing bets. Would you like to play too?"

While speaking, his eyes were completely focused on Feng Sanniang's appearance and figure.

Although Feng Sanniang is a woman of the world(风尘中人: woman of the world - meaning a prostitute), she does not have any worldly air about her.

She wears a cyan waist-length ruqun(襦裙: ruqun - a type of traditional Chinese dress) and a white cross-collar shirt, with her waist suddenly tightened, outlining her plump figure after the waistline.

Her peach blossom eyes are naturally affectionate, and a casual glance at anyone seems to be deliberately alluring.

This woman is really something!

The Sixth Young Master's index finger twitched, but he did not dare to be disrespectful.

Feng Sanniang is not only a sixth-rank master, but also the owner of the Spring Breeze Pavilion. The Spring Breeze Pavilion is a property of the Ganshan City Chamber of Commerce.

In other words, she is a high-level member of the Chamber of Commerce.

Equivalent to the position of vice president.

Arriving at the betting table, Feng Sanniang casually said: "Then I'll play too, I'll bet five thousand taels of gold."

Before the Sixth Young Master could be happy, his smile froze on his face: five thousand taels of gold.

Five thousand taels, even at five to one odds, would have to pay out one thousand taels of gold.

One thousand taels of gold converted into food, even with today's high food prices, would be enough for a small force to eat for a year, and still have meat every day.

The Sixth Young Master cursed in his heart: Originally, it was to create momentum and take the opportunity to suppress Tang Wen's prestige.

Now the people who come here are treating my place as an ATM?!

You are all sixth rank, how shameless.

Feng Sanniang glanced at him: "Bet on Tang Wen to win."

"What?" The Sixth Young Master picked his ears.

"What, Sixth Young Master can't accept it?" Feng Sanniang said calmly.

"So Miss Feng is here to give me money. Of course, I can accept it." The Sixth Young Master ignored her purpose and gave a look. Immediately, someone stepped forward to write an IOU, collect gold tickets, and verify their authenticity.

Fortunately, a direct disciple from the Giant Rock Martial Arts School hasn't left yet.

He was pulled over to be a witness.

Five thousand taels of gold is the largest single bet in this opening, no, in the history of his opening.

After all, he is not running a casino.

After the IOU was signed, Feng Sanniang did not stay any longer.

The Sixth Young Master looked at her graceful figure, completely confused: Could this woman like me? Is she afraid that I will lose too much, so she came to give me money?

There is no other explanation.

Could it be that she really thinks Tang Wen can win?

What a joke?

It's not a competition of seducing women!

What medicine is this woman selling in her gourd(葫芦里卖的什么药: idiom for what are someone's real intentions)?

The Sixth Young Master thought for a while and ordered: "Spread the word, say that Feng Sanniang has placed a heavy bet on Tang Wen to win."

Scandalous stories spread the fastest.

In Ganshan City, anything related to the name of Feng Sanniang, the number one courtesan, is either scandalous or about to become scandalous.

Liang Yu found out, inquired about the whole story, and hurried to see Tang Wen.

Tang Wen, fully armored, was hiding in the gravity chamber, practicing his saber.

【Wind Breaking Saber, Expert (6000/6000)】

Above the expert level is the grandmaster level.

Grandmaster-level techniques will inevitably usher in qualitative changes.

After listening to Liang Yu's words, his brow furrowed slightly: "The Thirteen Bandits want to challenge me, it seems that Lao Liu is working hard behind the scenes. However, what does Feng Sanniang mean by betting on me to win?"

Liang Yu curled her lips: "I think she wants to be an old cow eating young grass(老牛想吃嫩草: idiom for an older woman pursuing a younger man). Being from a brothel, she is not proper."

This is purely sour grapes. It is true that Feng Sanniang came from a brothel.

However, she showed amazing martial arts talent since she was a child. She never served a customer for a single day and only practiced martial arts.

However, living in the environment of a brothel, her personality is not very serious.

"The Thirteen Bandits came at a bad time. I am in a critical moment of seclusion these two days."

"Critical moment?" Liang Yu didn't understand.

Tang Wen nodded: "Find a way to delay them for three days."

"Three days? There is no need to delay, just set the battle time to three days later. But, young master, the Thirteen Bandits are veteran extraordinary beings, I'm afraid it will not be easy to deal with."

"It doesn't matter! Did Lao Liu open a betting pool again?"

"Yes, I quietly took a thousand taels of silver and bet on you to win. If you win, I will get twenty thousand taels of silver!"

"He really knows how to make money." Tang Wen curled his lips, feeling unhappy.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "The Thirteen Bandits came to challenge me and also said the rules of the duel, so when and where to fight is up to me?"

Liang Yu blinked her apricot eyes in confusion: "That's right, but generally the martial arts competition is held in the square of our Black Water Gang headquarters."

"People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being fat(人怕出名猪怕壮: people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being fat - meaning fame brings trouble). I, the dignified number one genius, am about to make a fool of myself here. I guess there will be a lot of people who want to join in the fun, right?"

Liang Yu's charming oval face tightened, and her red lips pursed: "There are many people betting, and they are all betting on you to lose!"

"Well, what do you think if I charge admission fees?" Tang Wen said with a squint.

"?"

"Every force that wants to watch my competition must send a copy of extraordinary blood essence as an admission fee. The things are not directly given to me. Whoever wins between me and the Thirteen Bandits' leader gets it. Of course, if any force can't afford it, they can also mix in with other people's teams to come in together." Tang Wen's mouth outlined a wicked smile.

"This?"

"Is it difficult?"

"What if no one comes?"

"No, maybe they won't come if it's free. Once they hear there's a fee, they will definitely come to see it."

"What is the reason?"

"Heh, such is human nature."

Liang Yu nodded, seemingly understanding, and left.

The next day, early in the morning.

A new message was added to many bulletin boards in the streets and alleys.

【The Seventh Young Master of the Black Water Gang will face the leader of the Thirteen Bandits of the Sand Sea in three days】

【The competition venue is inside the Black Water Gang】

【Everyone is welcome to watch, but an "Extraordinary Blood Essence" must be paid for admission... Winner takes all】

"I understand the first two sentences, what does the last paragraph mean?"

"I don't know if I understand it correctly, but isn't it like buying a pot of tea to listen to storytelling, or throwing money as tips to watch a show?"

"Shut up! A battle between two extraordinary beings, in your mouth, has become a performance for sale!"

"But isn't this a performance for sale?"

"……"

There is nothing to see in Ganshan City.

The upper-class people either practice martial arts, engage in internal gang fights, or play with women.

The days are very boring.

The matter of Tang Wen's competition with the Thirteen Bandits of the Sand Sea, after a series of operations such as "opening a betting pool", "the number one courtesan placed a heavy bet, suspected of having an unspeakable relationship with Tang Wen", and "charging admission fees".

In just one day, everyone in Ganshan City knew about it.

During tea breaks, after meals, at dinner tables, in bars, and on women's bodies, everyone was talking and discussing this matter.

"What does the Black Water Gang want to do? Do they really think that their Seventh Young Master, at the age of eighteen, can compare to a peak extraordinary being?"

"I don't know, since you are interested, sir, you may as well go and see in three days."

"Well, prepare a copy of extraordinary blood essence."

"The Black Water Gang is making such a big noise, could it be to teach that Tang Wen a lesson?"

"It's meaningless to guess, you'll know when you see it."

"……"

The Thirteen Bandits' residence.

"Brother, how could things have become so big?"

"Could it be that the gang wants to make a name for you, brother?"

"Are they crazy? We are not the core direct line of the Black Water Gang."

"What core direct line! With your ability, brother, you should at least be a deputy gang leader!"

"……"

The Thirteen Bandits, as the parties involved, were also confused.

Even Shui Yun, who knew Tang Wen best, knew that the "charging admission fees" was his doing, but she was also confused, unable to guess what her junior brother and lover was up to.

Also, the winner takes all, and he can only take the extraordinary blood essence if he wins.

Does he think he can win?

Uh, that should be impossible.

Is he going to use a gentle method to subdue the Thirteen Bandits?

Junior brother is not that naive.

Never mind, junior brother is not an impulsive person, we'll see when the time comes.

"Where is the Seventh Young Master now?" Shui Yun asked casually.

"Uh, I haven't seen, haven't seen him go downstairs."

Shui Yun's breath stagnated: That brat should have a sense of propriety, right?

In the gravity chamber, there was a black sword testing stone as tall as a person.

The sword testing stone was extremely hard, and even the light from the night-shining crystal did not reflect on it.

Tang Wen held a bamboo saber as thin as paper in his hand.

It was difficult to cut paper with the bamboo saber, and even children would dislike it.

But his expression was extremely serious, swish!

With a slash, the bamboo saber shattered into flying petals.

His face showed no surprise, and he randomly drew another one from behind him and slashed again!

Buzz~

The bamboo saber cut horizontally, and the air trembled like water.

The blade, which was so thin that it was almost transparent, brought out a trace of white light.

Crack.

The bamboo saber disintegrated and burned directly in the air, turning into ashes in an instant.

【Visualization Martial Art, A Line of Sky (Saber Technique), Entry (1→101/500)】

【Visualization Martial Art, A Line of Sky (Saber Technique), Entry (101→309/500)】

Experience increased crazily.

Swish swish swish!

Crack crack crack!

More than a dozen bamboo sabers were all broken.

【Visualization Martial Art, A Line of Sky (Saber Technique), Entry→Mastery (999→1097/3000)】

Tang Wen wanted to touch the saber again, but his mental power detected emptiness.

There were no more sabers.

He stood in place and looked at a brand new prompt.

【Wind Breaking Saber→Basic Saber Technique, Expert→Grandmaster (1/12000)】

All saber techniques are skills.

【Basic Saber Technique (Wind Breaking Saber), Grandmaster (Saber Qi Realm) (1/12000)】

The saber technique was completed.

More than half a month of hard work had paid off.

Tang Wen wanted to see the stars, raised his head, and saw the night-shining crystal flashing, and then remembered that he was still underground.

Suddenly, he understood why he couldn't use "A Line of Sky" just now.

Under the influence of ten times the gravity, the underground was ultimately somewhat different from the ground.

There was some noise outside the stone door, and when he opened the door, Liang Yu had arrived.

"Young master, um?"

Liang Yu saw Tang Wen's eyes, as if stung by light, and suddenly looked up, the high ponytail behind her head swayed.

"What's wrong?"

"You, seem to be different somewhere."

"So obvious?"

"A little, but not too obvious, you didn't break through again, did you?"

Tang Wen took the food from her hand and smiled without saying a word.

There were still two days until the competition.

He didn't plan to leave seclusion, and planned to practice underground for two more days to consolidate his skills.

Seeing the mess in the secret room, Liang Yu picked up a broom and bent over to clean it up.

This bend over, and that full moon-like plumpness, involuntarily stood up.

The broom was a bit short, her legs were long and tall, not inferior to ordinary men, and her waist was bent even harder,

Tang Wen, who had just broken through, still had to consolidate his realm, so he didn't look much, just made a comparison in his mind.

Female housekeeper Shui Mo, Zhou Bing, Liang Yu, Shui Yun, and Tong Yan girl Li Zi.

If it was a comparison of legs, then Li Zi and Liang Yu would be ranked last.

Zhou Bing and Shui Yun were on par.

In the middle was Liang Yu.

Queen, cough cough.

Cross it out, the queen is a thigh.

Two more names then jumped into his mind:

Feng Sanniang, Bai Youruo.

In terms of legs, he had never seen them.

Couldn't reach them.

In fact, there was another part of the ranking in his heart, but, he hadn't carefully played with them, so it was really hard to say.

In terms of appearance, spring chrysanthemum and autumn orchid each had their own strengths.

However, he was most fond of the queen.

Eat, eat, don't think wildly.

Three days passed.

Early this morning.

Liang Yu, the female housekeeper Shui Mo, and Li Zi led a group of people to the main entrance of the Blackwater Gang's headquarters early in the morning.

As an underground figure in Ganshan City, this was Li Zi's first time stepping into the Blackwater Gang's headquarters.

She felt quite strange, actually entering openly and legitimately.

Shouldn't she be sneaking in under the cover of darkness?

Li Zi and the female housekeeper stood at the entrance with their people, preparing to collect the entrance "tickets."

Liang Yu went to the underground chamber to find Tang Wen…

More and more people gathered outside.

The gang leader, Shui Yun, Vice-Leader Zhao, Sixth Young Master, and others arrived.

Shi Lei from the Giant Rock Martial Arts School brought people to watch the excitement.

The top courtesan, Feng San Niang, entered the Blackwater Gang's gates with a group of charming women.

People from the three major families of the inner city also arrived.

More and more people came, and under Shui Yun's direction, Wu Hao and others kept adding chairs.

The Thirteen Bandits of the Sand Sea arrived; they had never seen such a grand scene before. Faced with the gazes of countless experts, they were completely bewildered for the first ten minutes.

However, now that they thought about it, the time was almost up, and everyone had arrived.

Where was Tang Wen?

Why hadn't he come yet?

Everyone turned their attention towards the direction of the entrance.

Those who came knew that eighteen days ago, he went up to the Joyful Paradise Brothel and hadn't come down since.

They chatted casually with the people around them, waiting for Tang Wen to walk through the door.
