Originally, Long Yin wanted to suggest a bet on crawling through trouser legs, but feared Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't dare accept, so he settled for suggesting barking like a dog.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqiang proposed the trouser crawl bet, which delighted him. He quickly agreed, "Alright, we bet on crawling through trouser legs; whoever loses must crawl through the opponent's trouser legs."

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqiang continued, "This kind of bet might invite criticism from others. How about adding something more substantial, like a tangible stake?"

Wang Xiaoqiang knew Princes received offerings and were likely well-off, so he thought he could extract some money from this Long Yin.

"Sure, we can bet gold coins, the Empire's gold coins," Long Yin, wanting to show his noble status, said in a superior tone, "How about ten thousand? Is it enough?"

Wang Xiaoqiang knew that Empire's gold coins were exclusively used by the Imperial Clan, holding the highest value among Yellow Dragon Empire's currencies and not available to commoners, so he said, "You have the gold coins, but I don't, how do we gamble…?"

"You can substitute with pills of equal value…" Long Yin, with an indifferent attitude, clearly showed that he was not much concerned about this stake but more focused on the trouser crawl bet.

"If you lose, pay me ten thousand gold coins; if you win, I'll pay you ten thousand gold coins worth of pills…" Wang Xiaoqiang intently stared at Long Yin and said, "Is it settled?"

Long Yin smiled triumphantly, "Settled, I hope you don't back out."

"I'm just afraid you'll back out." Wang Xiaoqiang smiled playfully.

"Don't worry, I am the dignified Seventh Prince and won't go back on my word... Moreover, I cultivate the 'Path of Faith' and understand the principle of 'A person needs integrity'." Long Yin swore earnestly to prevent Wang Xiaoqiang from backing out.

"Alright then," Wang Xiaoqiang also feared Long Yin would back out and directly said, "Better now than later, how about we start after everyone finishes eating?"

"Haha, that couldn't be better." Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang take the bait, Long Yin laughed smugly.

At this time, the surrounding students watching began to smile playfully at Wang Xiaoqiang, as if they already imagined him crawling through trouser legs,

Who at Yueyang Academy didn't know that Long Yin was talented, known for his exceptional literary skills, and once called the Dragon City Talented Youth in his youth? After entering Yueyang Academy, he was further cultured by its atmosphere, becoming even more talented,

If this world valued literary talent over martial power, and Yellow Dragon Empire wasn't ruled by cultivation base, Long Yin would surely be favored by the Emperor, competing for Crown Prince wouldn't be out of reach, but unfortunately, despite his literary prowess, his cultivation base was lacking, and because his mother held a low position in the harem, he's always been neglected,

But Long Yin's literary attainments were certainly the best in Yueyang Academy, although Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation was stronger, he seemed to have gotten in through favoritism, proving his literary skill wasn't high, yet even if Wang Xiaoqiang didn't rely on favoritism, in a literary duel, he still wouldn't be Long Yin's match.

This duel was sure to be won by Long Yin, without suspense.

Everyone believed so, except Dai Yu.

Dai Yu knew well that Wang Xiaoqiang's literary talent had reached a supremely high level, even Old Master couldn't compare, let alone the Seventh Prince before them?

Thus, all along, Dai Yu didn't speak, worry, or dissuade.

Long Yin thought Wang Xiaoqiang had fallen into the trap he set, yet didn't expect, he's step by step walking into his own trap.

In the distance stayed one person, concealed behind a few female students observing the scene just unfolded, seeing the agreement of the sides ready to commence the literary duel, this person's lips curled into a smug cold smile.

This wasn't someone else but Ann Miaoyi. The mastermind behind this literary duel.

With an excited and exhilarated heart, at the fastest speed in his life, like a beggar, Seventh Prince Long Yin swept through his meals like wind and clouds, then returned to sit in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, wearing a gentle smile, though it seemed more like a hunter evaluating his catch.

Students, seeing there was fun to be had, didn't leave after eating, instead gathered around Wang Xiaoqiang's table with Long Yin, all wearing expressions as if watching from a safe distance.

Long Yin saw Wang Xiaoqiang still leisurely eating, becoming impatiently said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you can eat but do not go back on your word, quickly finish your food, then pick the judges… As I've said, you may choose the judges…"

Seeing Long Yin looking anxiously restless, Wang Xiaoqiang and Dai Yu exchanged a smile, Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze turned to Long Yin and said, "How about this, to be fair, you choose five judges, I choose five judges, a total of ten judges, how does that sound?"

"Sure, no problem." Confident in his talent, Long Yin didn't seek further backing, directly casting the Dragon Child Gang aside and instead, randomly pointed at five students among the crowd, saying, "Them it is."

Seeing Long Yin not seeming to cheat, Wang Xiaoqiang scanned the dining hall with his eyes, quickly noticing a group of students entering through the door, looking somewhat flustered, seemingly their first time entering the dining hall. Wang Xiaoqiang thought they must be today's new students, so he pointed at them saying, "Them it is."

"Ah, newly admitted students, alright. I'll help you call them," Long Yin also saw they were new students, stood up, walked over, and selected five from among the group who came for meals in the dining hall.

Just as Wang Xiaoqiang had finished his meal, he stood up and asked, "Where to compete?"

"Naturally, the best is the square, it's spacious there." Long Yin said. Thinking inwardly, since humiliating you, certainly doing it where many people are!

Long Yin knew after meals students liked to take a walk around the square, at this moment, there certainly were many students, hence suggesting to head to the square.

"No problem." Wang Xiaoqiang said, pulling Dai Yu along and heading out, telling everyone, "Let's all head to the square for fun, ha..."

Long Yin, along with some attending students, all looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with playful expressions, thinking, the more people you call, the more who will see your shame below leg, and thus your feeling of disgrace will grow stronger!

You're effectively digging your own grave!

At this moment, the square indeed had many people, students who finished meals converged there, seemed up to a hundred at a glance, together with those followed from the dining hall, summed over a hundred.

Literary duel at Yueyang Academy wasn't rare, frequently occurred, students at Yueyang often sparred with literary talents in the square, yet generally without stakes, or very small ones, a duel as trouser crawl was really a first occurrence,

Therefore, once news spread, everyone gathered around to watch the fun, seeing it was the renowned Talented Youth Seventh Prince Long Yin contesting against a newly enrolled student, all curiosity arose, uncertain of Wang Xiaoqiang's origin and courage?!

Daring to challenge the greatly talented Long Yin? And setting such a nerve-wracking bet, wasn't it seeking self-death?

At this moment, on the square.

Wang Xiaoqiang and Long Yin stood confronting each other, ten judges beside, surrounded by a crowd of students, the place buzzed with excitement, very lively,

Further away stood a woman, not someone else but Ann Miaoyi, Ann Miaoyi feared arousing Wang Xiaoqiang's suspicion leading him to change his mind at the scene, so dared not approach.
