Pursue to Sword Summit

Chapter 175 - The Price of Losing

Tian Feng also realized that his back was being attacked. With Lin Mo's speed, he simply did not have the time to turn around and defend, he could only rely on his senses to release a defensive shield, followed by a fist which also relied on the air currents to hit his back.

It was just that his back did not have eyes, so Tian Feng's fist could change directions, and so could Lin Mo, except that he did not change the direction of his fist, but chose to launch a new attack under his feet.'s fist had coincidentally clashed with Lin Mo's fist, and this was also what Lin Mo had expected.

Tian Feng somersaulted a few times in the air, and then rolled on the ground a few times, before stopping with great difficulty. Although his body did not receive any heavy injuries, and Lin Mo's kick did not hit any crucial points, the state he was in, could be said to be extremely miserable.

Tian Feng, the eighth ranked core disciple of the Lingyun Sect, was actually beaten up by Lin Mo to the point of rolling and crawling. If this were to spread, who would believe it?

Lin Mo's performance was much stronger than he imagined, just this kick alone was enough to make Tian Feng unable to retaliate, if he were to use his full strength, would Tian Feng be able to retaliate?

But Tian Feng thought otherwise, and immediately crawled up from the ground, he touched the blood on his face, and was about to rush up, but he was not severely injured, and Lin Mo was also prepared to fight again, but Sun Tianfang shouted loudly: "Tian Feng, you retreat, you are not allowed to fight anymore."

Upon hearing the sect master's order, although Tian Feng was not convinced, he could only stop. He said, "Sect Master, disciple was just careless just now, and is not at a genuine level. I request Sect Master to let me fight with him again, I guarantee that I will definitely defeat him this time."

Zong Zhusuntianfang said: "Don't use your carelessness as an excuse. If not for Lin Mo showing mercy and not attacking your head, you would have been dead by now. With Lin Mo's reaction speed, you have no time to resist.

Sun Tianfang's words were worth a thousand gold each and every word, so no matter how much Tian Feng refused to accept it, he would not dare to say anything more. Furthermore, what Sun Tianfang said made sense, and Lin Mo had indeed held back earlier.

Tian Feng obediently retreated. When he came here, he was still filled with confidence, he wanted to beat Lin Mo up until his head bled, but he never thought that he would be the one to receive such a blow. Now, he really couldn't explain to his master anymore, in the future, when he saw his fellow apprentices in Lingyun Sect, he would have to lower his head as well.

Who told him to lose face for the Lingyun Sect. He was the eighth ranked core disciple, but he was beaten to a pulp.

Sun Tianfang opened his mouth and said: "This time, I will declare Lin Mo's victory. Lin Mo, do not hesitate to tell me what you want, this old man will definitely satisfy you."

Lin Mo was naturally happy, this fight was too quick, and he was not satisfied yet, but he did have the advantage, because it was difficult for ordinary people to react to his Floating Light Shadowstrike, and Lin Mo would defeat his opponent that quickly. If he relied on strength, it would take a while for him to do so.

After all, Tian Feng was not weak. He was at the peak of the early stage of the Innate Realm.

However, Lin Mo said, "Sect Master, can we wait for the reward?"

Sun Tianfang knew what Lin Mo was thinking in his heart. He smiled: "Tell me, what else do you want?"

Lin Mo said: "Previously, this Clan Elder made a bet with me, he said that if I lose, then there's no need to reward me. If he loses, he would have to apologize to me.

However, Sun Tianfang was not surprised at all. He was still smiling as he said to Bai Gushan, "Elder Bai, this bet is between you and Lin Mo. Now, I'll let you and Lin Mo settle it."

He only wanted him to say sorry to a little fellow. No matter where his old face went, Bai Gushan was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but no matter how angry he was, he had to endure it. Who asked him to make a bet with Lin Mo in front of so many people.

Bai Gushan could only obediently stand out and say to Lin Mo: "If you agree to lose, then this old man will apologize to you. This old man has offended you."

Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction: "It doesn't matter, you won't do that again in the future.

Lin Mo's words gave Bai Gushan a resounding slap. He was a dignified elder, yet he actually wanted to apologize to a disciple from a small sect, and even had to see his expression. His old bones were about to break down.

The surrounding people were all speechless, this was truly the great shame and humiliation of Lingyun Sect, one upper elder and two core disciples were all played around by Lin Mo, but this was also what the regular disciples thought, and they also had another idea in their hearts, which was that Lin Mo was indeed very strong, so he did not hate Lin Mo even though he defeated them, and instead, had a lot of admiration for him. Especially the outer sect and inner sect disciples, they all treated Lin Mo as a hero, and the core disciples normally did not even look at them.

Bai Gushan had already scolded Lin Mo countless times in his heart. This little fellow was his greatest enemy, and he would remember today's humiliation in his entire life. This humiliation, he would definitely get it back.

Seeing that their wager was already complete, Sun Tianfang said again: "Lin Mo, your matters have been settled. Let's talk about your reward, what do you want?"

Lin Mo thought about it, he really did not think about this matter, he himself did not know how deep the Lingyun Sect's assets were, if it was too high, he would be unwilling, but if it was too low, he would not be able to pay the price, and in the end, he felt that the other party would just give him whatever he wanted, because if this happened, the other party would not be too shabby, and he could still care about the other party's face.

Lin Mo then said, "Let Sect Master decide, disciple really doesn't know what to want."

Sun Tianfang laughed: "Alright, let me choose for you. I will reward you with one million gold, three fourth grade Life Continuing Pills and one Medium-grade Earth Ranked Battle Skill, what do you think?"

The moment Sun Tianfang's words fell, all the disciples and elders were flabbergasted. One million gold coins, that was practically all the resources a Fourth-rank Sect had, three fourth grade Life Continuing Pills, that was a treasure that all the sects dreamed of, one pill could save one's life, and what was even more terrifying was a Medium-grade Earth Ranked Battle Skill, it was the highest level battle skill of a A sixth-grade sect, even the highest level battle skills of a A sixth-grade sect like the Storm Sect was only at the Earth Stage middle grade.

This made Lin Mo want to raise a small Fourth-rank Sect to fifth or sixth grade in an instant. This kind of reward was not something they could believe, Sun Tianfang had never given him such a reward before.

Not to mention the people from the Lingyun Sect, even the princess was a little shocked. Her master was simply too generous towards this Lin Mo, even more so than her.

Although the Great Clan Elder knew that the Sect Master would definitely give him a huge reward, he never expected the sect master to be so generous, and directly reward Lin Mo, a treasure that only a large sect could have.

Every reward that he heard was something that he would never dare to think of. If he proposed it himself, it might not even be enough for a fraction of the reward. Lin Mo still did not believe it, but the Sect Leader's words were true, how could he lie?

"Sect Leader, although Lin Mo's strength is not bad and his talent is exceptional, but with Sect Head giving such a great reward, I'm afraid that it is still too much." He didn't want Lin Mo to receive so many good treasures, so he had long hated Bai Gushan to the point that his teeth itched, so he naturally had to speak up.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Bai Gushan hated Lin Mo so much that he would never forget today's shame. However, Bai Gushan had also said what was in everyone's heart, and this reward was just too huge, so how could Lin Mo, a mere disciple, endure it?

Who would have thought that Sun Tianfang actually laughed and said: "Lin Mo is not some ordinary genius. In my opinion, although there are many geniuses in the Lingyun Sect, but no one can compare to Lin Mo, even if he is ranked in the top three core disciples, their talent is not as good as Lin Mo's. Like me, the rewards are not bad at all, because Lin Mo will be a true expert in the future.

With Sun Tianfang praising Lin Mo for a while, no one could say anything. They could only nod their heads and agree with the sect master's arrangements, then although Bai Gushan was not convinced in his heart, he could no longer say anything. The sect master's words were already the imperial edict, and there was a grudge between him and Lin Mo.

The higher the better. He did not want other people to talk nonsense either, so he quickly stepped forward and said: "Thank you sect master for the rewards, this disciple is truly grateful to you."

Lin Mo had already thanked the sect master, so it would be hard for anyone to say anything more. Sun Tianfang laughed: "If you are grateful to me, you can join the Lingyun Sect. Of course, I will wait for you to decide."

If he was allowed to join the Lingyun Sect, he would not want to receive any of these rewards. Although these treasures were treasures in his eyes, he did not care that much about them, because he had better treasures on him, pills and pellets, he had Tier 5 and 6 pills, battle skills and Heaven Tier Battle Skills, and money was the only thing that he needed the most. Thus, he did not care too much about it.

Lin Mo immediately said, "Sect Master, I will consider it carefully, when I am done thinking about it, I will report it to Sect Master."

Sun Tianfang also nodded in satisfaction: "Then I'll wait for your news. When I send you the rewards, I'll get someone to deliver them to you. I think there's nothing else to do now, so let's begin the banquet."

When Sun Tianfang said this, the Great Clan Elder immediately went to arrange the banquet himself. At this time, the dining hall had already been prepared, they were waiting for the Sect Leader to eat together with Lin Mo.
