"A challenge?!"

Upon hearing this, all the examinees at the entrance promptly became energetic.

"Dominator Third Level, Bai Qiuye's Rank is even higher than what was speculated outside. His progress is so fast! It's terrifying!"

"Qin Mu?"

"That's Qin Mu, ranked first. It's said that he killed a Vicious Beast pack, even taking down a Fourth Level Vicious Beast leader."

"He's also a Mentalist, at least Apprentice Ninth Level, right?

"What the heck?!"

"Where did you get that information? An Apprentice Ninth Level can kill a Fourth Level Vicious Beast?"

"Tsk!"

"Just because you can't doesn't mean he can't! Otherwise, why is he a Mentalist and you're not?"

"Speaking of which,

"If those two were to compete, it's really hard to say who would win. Both are Genius Psionicists; it's hard to tell."

"No, no, no!"

"Bai Qiuye will definitely win!

"What kind of place is Myriad Sword Pavilion? Don't you know the White Sword Sect? That's a Mentalist family! Can they be the same?"

"That's right, that's right!

"It's normal for his points to be high because he encountered a Vicious Beast pack during the examination. But if it's a real competition, then Bai Qiuye, with his profound family knowledge and unrivaled resources, naturally has a higher chance of winning."

…Qin Mu's expression didn't change.

Of course, he flatly refused such an unreasonable request.

"Hmph!"

Bai Qiuye snorted coldly and said disdainfully:

"Afraid of death? You're overthinking. This is the wilderness; death matches won't be allowed."

"We shall vie with nothing but psionic power: the plain Mentalist maze. And if even then you do not dare,

"Hmph hmph, that can only mean that your talent is merely average."

Qin Mu was not a child; he would not jump into a fight just from a couple of taunts.

Just as he was about to speak,

Ling Qianxue suddenly leaned over and covered Qin Mu's mouth with her hand. "Young Master Bai, no hurry, just wait a bit!"

"What the hell?!"

Qin Mu looked bewildered: "What are you doing?"

Ling Qianxue, on the other hand, continued to wink at Qin Mu with her expressive eyes before forcefully pulling him aside and whispering into his ear, "Wood, want to make another fortune before the examination ends?

"This time, we'll split it three-seven?

"What?"

Qin Mu frowned: "Make what? How will you make it?"

Ling Qianxue rolled her pretty eyes: "A competition, of course! A battle between Genius Psionicists, what hot news! I'll set up the betting, you go on stage! If we profit, we'll split it three-seven."

"Good heavens!"

Something is going on with this school beauty.

Her mind is all about money!

Nothing else?

Qin Mu was not interested in challenges or martial arts competitions.

But making money…

"Hey,

"You say that, and I'm not sleepy anymore."

"Alright, I get seven, you get three!" Qin Mu said directly.

"Pfft!"

Ling Qianxue thought that she had misheard, "Hey, hey, hey, big Wood, are you crazy? I'm setting up the betting, I'm the bookie, I'm the investor! Have you ever seen an investor take the smaller share?"

"No way! At most… four-six!"

"I get six!!!"

Ling Qianxue added another sentence, fearing a misunderstanding.

"Six-six-six? Where are you six?" Qin Mu said expressionlessly: "Three-seven split, if not, we'll break up. And if you set up a private bookie without me, I don't mind throwing the match, you know."

"You?"

"Throw the match?"

Ling Qianxue was anxious now, her face turned red: "Qin Mu?! This is a challenge, a competition between Genius Psionicists, that's about reputation! Don't you want it?"

"What reputation?"

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow: "If I lose this match, will it affect my S-Rank contract? Will it affect my Martial Examination first place?"

"Ah, this?

"That certainly won't happen."

Ling Qianxue instantly went speechless, puffed out her cheeks, and stood there for a while before saying, "I'll concede a step, how about four-six.

Qin Mu: "You get four!

Ling Qianxue clenched her teeth and said fiercely, "Alright! But you have to win!"

"That's not necessarily true, it depends on the odds," Qin Mu said casually: "Whichever side has more bets, we eat that side. Have you really never run a private bookie?

"Pfft!"

Ling Qianxue spat again: "I haven't? Did you? Hmph!"

Having said that,

Ling Qianxue made a face at Qin Mu, then turned back: "Young Master Bai, regarding the competition, I've accepted it on behalf of Qin Mu."

"There are still a few hours before the Martial Examination ends, so we'll prepare a bit and start in half an hour."

Bai Qiuye's expression was stern, "I don't need to prepare!"

Ling Qianxue: "Even so, it has to be half an hour later. We'll set the rules, everyone can rest a bit and practice beforehand, so there are no excuses if someone loses."

"Good! Very good!" Bai Qiuye naturally wouldn't insist upon hearing this: "I hope you remember those words, no excuses if you lose!"

"That's natural, we're signing a contract after all," Ling Qianxue said cleverly: "A Mentalist competition, no martial combat is allowed in the wilderness, so we'll follow the standard rules for a civil duel. Does Young Master Bai have any objections?"

"None!

As the Young Lady of the Ling Group, since childhood, Ling Qianxue had been immersed in such things and was truly adept at handling.

A contract was drafted and then signed.

"Everybody!" Ling Qianxue confirmed everything before turning to the crowd and declaring, "Genius Psionicist Bai Qiuye! Against Genius Psionicist Qin Mu! Everybody go online to Website Zero and support one of the contestants.

"Good heavens!

Advertise on the spot?!

The crowd was instantly electrified.

"Miss Ling is indeed from the Ling Group, professional! So damn professional!"

"Go, Bai Qiuye! You're sure to win in a civil duel, don't mess up, I've bet all my savings on you!"

"Qin Mu!"

"Lose quickly later, don't delay me from making money."

Ling Qianxue immediately gave Qin Mu a look, as if to say, 'See? Everyone knows you're going to lose. If you don't win, we'll lose big…' "Hahaha!

Suddenly, someone in the crowd burst out laughing: "Qianxue is setting up a betting pool, why didn't you tell me?"

"Lu Zhuo?

Ling Qianxue looked slightly surprised, then replied with a smile, "Does Young Master Lu want to join?"

Lu Zhuo's gaze flashed across Qin Mu, with a hint of savagery in it, then he said disdainfully: "Playing too small with these private bookies is boring. You guys can just play around."

"Too small?"

Just then, Ling Qianxue had turned solemn:

"With the reputation of my Ling Group, as long as someone dares to bet, Qianxue dares to accept it!

Lu Zhuo smiled disdainfully: "Alright, I'll bet 1 billion! Bai Qiuye wins!"

"Whoa!"

"1 billion?!"

This figure left the crowd dumbfounded on the spot.

1 billion right off the bat.

Is that what they call the rich second-generation from a big company?

When she heard this number, Ling Qianxue merely frowned slightly, and her expression did not change by much.

Bai Qiuye was the favourite; the odds therefore wouldn't be high, and she wouldn't lose much.

She had 2 billion in her account as a base; hence, she could definitely afford to pay.

"No problem," Ling Qianxue replied immediately and calmly. Lu Zhuo made his bet with a poker face, but in his heart, he was laughing wildly. "Ling Qianxue! You bitch! How dare you actually get involved with a pauper like Qin Mu?" "If I don't make you bleed this time, I'll write my name, Lu Zhuo, backwards!"
