Tales Of Demons And Gods - The Rise Of Chen Long

Later that night, my father Chen Zhenlong came out of his close-door training dissapointed. The gap of a 1-star to a 2-star legend rank is so large.

"I have overe 250,000 soul Force, but it seems that I feel like I'm still in the bottom of the barrel. I need to find another source to gather more energy. The surrounding energies arw too small" he said

Uncle Fei and elder brother Linjian was shocked at the amount of power he has.

"Well, according to the ancient text. You have to have a soul force of 1 million to breakthrough 5-star legend rank and 2 million to breakthrough Heavenly Fate Realm. So it might take you many years to breakthrough!" i said

"I'm not surprised anymore since I can feel that I am still at the bottom. We might have to venture away from the city to find those energies. But my priority is the safetiness of the city, so I will hold out the training for now until Linjian can take over!" - Zhenlong

We all talked for awhile and told him about things that had happen while he was cultivating. My dad was not too happy, when Uncle Fei talked about mountains of paperwork needed to be done and things related to the family business.

While Uncle Fei was so happy to be rid of the acting patriarch job. He is not the type to be stuck in an office.

"Oh Father! There is a youth competition tomorrow that Nie Li is competing. His family are at the main house!" - i said

We went back to the dining hall and My father did a meet and greet. Nie Hai was a nervous wreck, but Nie Li's family got along well with my father.

The Next day came, and we all travelled to the Youth Competition Venue. We met up with Huyan Lanruo and her family. Her and her family was so ready to gamble that makes everyone feels that there are a bunch of Huyan Lanruos.

We found our seats behind Nie Li's family. Director Yang Xin is seated in front in a special chair. I saw Shen Ming with Shen Fei arriving. Nie Li stand up to get Shen Fei's attention.

"YOU!!!" Shen Fei shouted in anger.

Nie Li Jumped and landing in front of Shen Fei

"Hahaha! Little Shen Fei. Long time no see!" said Nie Li

Shen Fei tried to avoid Nie Li by turning his back. Then Nie Li continued.

"Ning'er talked a lot about you being so generous and honorable. I even help her by massag-!" he said when Shen Fei turned around and readied a punch in anger.

"I'll kill you!" he yelled while punching.

Shen Ming apologized and calmed down Shen Fei. He brang out the subject of making a bet between Nie Li and Shen Fei.

After some verbal argumemts, 50 million demon coins was agreed upon the bet.

"Shen Fei! This is a sure win for you. Before crippling him, make sure he last 20 moves!" - Shen Ming said to Shen Fei.

Everyone started to bet. Since the host bank is sacred family, we were not lenient. There was a 10:1 odds, so we make 10X the money we bet. I only bet 1 million and my brother bet 1 million also. My Uncle got greedy and bet 5 million demon coins.

The Huyan Family only bet 2,000 demon coins each because they are unsure of Nie Li.

The match started. Shen Fei rushed to Nie Li without transforming to his beast form.

Nie Li quickly transformed in his panda form. Nie Li immediately appeared behind Shen Fei and knocked him out with a shop. Shen Fei is completely knocked out with a face indentation on the ground.

Everyone in the crowd was dumbfounded. Everyone started to think the whole fight is rigged. Then someone in the crowd shout out.

"Isn't that a panda! Isn't a panda a trash spirit!" guest A

One by one the crowd started ridiculing the genius and the sacred family.

"RAAAAAAAOORRRRR!"

Shen Fei has starred to transform to his scarlet black tiger form.

BOOM!

Shen Fei was again knocked out. Everyone was just wondering what just happened.

"He was taking to long to transform so i just gave a light chop in the neck!" - Nie Li

Everyone started laughing around me. My brother is already have tears laughing.

"We surrender, we will givw this fight to Nie Li!" - Shen Ming said

Shen Fei heard the announcement and was enraged and started to transform again.

"Nie Li! We already gave up! Stop this instance!" - Shen Ming yelled when Nie Li knocked Shen Fei to the ground.

Nie Li transformed back to normal and made his way back to the stands. I made 10 million so I'm happy. I told the rest to get the money before the next bet. They might run out of money. Uncle Fei quickly disappeared and reappeared smiling with a ring containing 50 million demon coins.

They were about to start the next fight. Nie Long was supposed to fight the next round but Shen Ming stopped him.

"The wager/invitation is with Nie Li alone against the sacred family fighters. If you all want to give up might as well do it now!" - Shen Ming said

"Isn't that a little unfair to Nie Li! It is a bit underhanded in your part Shen Ming!" - director Yang Xin

"He brang it upon himself for insulting our family. Besides we are the host of this years competition so we make the rules. If you don't want to, you guys are free to go!" - said Shen Ming

Nie Li volunteered to go on to the next fight. The betting started again. But due to the huge lost if demon coins, they rated the bets against Nie Li 2:1 ratio. The Huyan family got bummed out, they should have bet a big amount on the first betting. Me and My brother place 5 million each. The bank won't accept Uncle Fei's bet of 50 million, so he only betted 10 million demon coins. The Huyans also bet 5 million demon coins each.

The second round was about to start. Nie Li and Shen Ming made a wager of 100 million demon coins.

SECOND ROUND "NIE LI" VS "SHEN NING"!

"ROARING FLAME STRIKE!" - Shen Ning

BOOM!

It missed Nie Li. You could see Nie Li was running around the arena in his panda form without attacking.

Shen Ning got angry and again jumped into the air and fired multiple beams of fire covering the whole arena.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Tons of smoke covered the area. Most people think it was over then a figure appeared running through the field.

Shen Ming became frustrated. He now jumped even higher. He prepares his final attack. He charged down like a comet.

"FLAMING METEOR!" - Shen Ming

"Gravity Field" - Nie Lie whispered

Smoke filled the arena. Shen Ming was smiling at knowing he won the wager.

The smoke dissipated and in the shock of everyone, it was Shen Ning on the ground unconscious while Nie Li is back to normal form standing next to him.

Everyone in the crowd got angry because they lost so much money. They started to think the whole thing is rigged by the sacred family.

Nie Li came back to the stands looking worn out, but I know better that this is an act of his. We all once again collected our winnings. We all made money today.

The bank clerk went towards Shen Ming and reported about the finance.

"What! We lost 350 million demon clubs!" He was in deep tought for awhile. "Sell some of my properties that i don't need to cover the expenses. I need to win the next round to break even or I'm a goner." - Shen Ming

"I'm too tired now to go on! Can we continue the comoetition tomorrow!" - Nie Li

"No! The bet is only for today! If you back out now, then return the 150 million and we can forget about everything." - Shen Ming

"Alright! But you have to make it worthwhile. How about 300 million demon coins" - Nie Li

"No-no! It is too little! How about 450 million demon coins. I am betting everthing I have. How about it. Are you brave enough to accept it!" - Shen Ming

"I'll fork out the amount if needed for Nie Li" - director Yang Xin

" I guess that says it! 450 million demon coins!" - Nie Li

Then the bank clerk came towards Shen Ming.

"Lord Ming! Please be reasonable. With that amount, all your property will be auctioned! And to cover the side bets, We might have to sell some sacred family properties." - bank clerk.

"I authorize it! Don't accept anything over 1 million demon coins. It's do or die for me now, so I'm betting everything!" - Shen Ming

We all heard the conversation so we headed to the betting booth with 1 million demon coins.
