Chapter 508: Gambling Match

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

On the way to the martial arts competition, Lei Luo looked at Mashiro Sakuraku and frowned. She looked listless and did not know what was wrong with her.

However, she only watched from the side. There were not as many people as yesterday. There were only 100 arenas left. This time, they were going to fight five rounds in batches. This was to prevent some unpresentable warriors from taking advantage of the competition.

Only Lei Luo looked so calm. The others looked especially nervous, deeply afraid that they would draw some experts.

He stood below the arenas and chatted with Miyamoto Musashi and Linghua.

“You have to be careful of Xirong from the treasure house. This person is still very powerful. I fought with him for a very long time last time…”

“And then?”

Miyamoto Musashi chuckled.

“In the end, I still reluctantly defeated him. Seeing that we were so close, he might strike a little harder.”

Seeing this sly smile, Lei Luo almost did not go up to the stage to fight Miyamoto Musashi first.

Looking at his number, Lei Luo walked to the bottom of the stage. The first match was Lei Luo’s match. Masanori Sakurai stood below the stage to cheer for Lei Luo.

Standing on the stage, the referee admired Lei Luo quite a lot. The main reason was that he looked unfathomable and did not belong to an aristocratic family. If he could build a relationship with him, he would not need to be a small referee anymore.

A young man in armor walked to Lei Luo’s side and extended his hand.

“Hello, Mr. James. I’m Takeda Feng from the Takeda family.”

“Hello.”

Lei Luo only nodded at the young man and did not extend his hand. When Takeda Feng saw that Lei Luo had no intention of shaking hands with him, a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

On the surface, he was still smiling as he walked to his seat.

“Why don’t you make a bet with me, Mr. James?”

“What bet do you want to make?”

Although he knew that the Takeda family wanted to rope him in, he still did not expect that this person would have other intentions.

“If I win, Mr. James will stay and be my hanger-on. If I lose, I will give this sword to you.”

Takeda looked down and a servant held up a sword for Lei Luo to see.

“This is one of the Takeda family’s collections. It’s a famous sword forged by swordmaster An Gang, Tongzi cut.”

“Of course, if Mr. James has any thoughts of joining the Takeda family, this sword will still be given to you with both hands.”

The head of the Takeda family had remembered Lei Luo from the previous day. With this investigation, he knew that he had been to the blacksmith shop in Kudengzhai and lacked a suitable sword.

Hence, he thought of using a peerless weapon to win over Lei Luo.

“If young master Takeda Feng is so confident in his own strength, then I will accept your bet.”

Takeda Feng took off the green windbreaker he was wearing and took out his own knife. It was a four-foot-long large knife with a cold glint on its blade.

“I’ll take your advice.”

Takeda Feng leaped up and brought the large knife with him as he launched a powerful slash at the top of Lei Luo’s head.

Lei Luo just stood there and waited, as if he didn’t see the danger above his head. Masanori Sakamoto broke out in a cold sweat.

As the broadsword was getting closer and closer to his head, Lei Luo finally reacted. He reached his hand to the top of his head, as if he wanted to catch the broadsword with his bare hands.

However, it was this action that made Takeda feel as if his broadsword had met with great resistance. It landed on Lei Luo’s hand lightly, as if he was sending the broadsword to the top of Lei Luo’s head.

This was the result of Lei Luo using the [ gravity manipulation ] spell on his “saintly being.” This spell was still very useful, especially against moves that relied on gravity to cause damage.

Takeda Feng’s sweat had already soaked the clothes inside. He originally thought that Lei Luo’s strength was only close to that of a grandmaster. Even if his strength was slightly inferior, it wouldn’t be that much.

However, with such an imposing manner, even if Lei Luo said that he wasn’t a grandmaster, Takeda wouldn’t believe it.

Gritting his teeth, something in Takeda’s chest started to accumulate power towards Lei Luo.

Lei Luo’s intuition started to feel a little dangerous. He only wanted to grab his saber and throw Takeda off the stage. However, Takeda’s chest emitted a white ray of light straight towards Lei Luo’s chest.

This was Takeda’s trump card that he had prepared beforehand. He had planned to use it in the top ten matches. It would not be a problem for him to kill a grandmaster when he was caught off guard.

Under Lei Luo’s deliberate dodging, the ray of light landed below the stage. In an instant, a huge pit appeared below the stage.

Lei Luo then saw the device on Takeda’s chest. It was an intermediate magic conductor called [ electromagnetic destruction ] . This device was originally installed on heavy armor, but the original device was too big. The load of a heavy armor could not carry such a big magic conductor.

It seemed that this was the result of miniaturization. After all, although the original power would decrease after miniaturization, the cost of building it was not just a little bit higher.

While lamenting that the people of the northern border family were foolish and rich, he looked at the magic conductor on Takeda Feng’s chest that was accumulating power. The rapid shooting just now had consumed a lot of the magic conductor’s lifespan. He did not think that Takeda Feng would be so willing to part with it.

Takeda Feng did not think that Lei Luo was actually a grandmaster. Moreover, he was able to dodge his shot at such a close distance, which made him want to subdue Lei Luo even more.

If such a grandmaster with potential could be under his command, then in the next family head election, how could his good-for-nothing brother be his opponent?

If it were not for the fact that he could not expose his identity as a mage, he would not have needed to dodge that shot just now. However, Lei Luo did not want him to be noticed right now.

He grabbed Takeda Feng’s hand and stopped him from charging up his power. He knocked him unconscious on the ground. Lei Luo sighed. He could only accept that famous sword with a smile.

He walked down the stage and watched the Takeda family’s servant carry Takeda Feng down. Lei Luo took away the boy cut that was placed there and returned to Masanori Sakamoto’s side.

“You’re in trouble.”

“Ah.”

Lei Luo looked at Masanori Sakamoto, who was whispering mysteriously into his ear.

“Takeda Feng is extremely vengeful. He holds grudges against people from the Takeda family. A minister only said a few bad things about the Takeda family’s head at home and disappeared the next day. Be careful.”

Masanori Sakamoto revealed a fox-like expression and gave Lei Luo an evil smile.

Lei Luo rolled his eyes at her.

“I’ll hand you over then. You’re useless now anyway.”

Masanori Sakamoto was instantly unhappy when she saw Lei Luo threatening her like this. She turned her head to the side.

Lei Luo looked at her and smiled nonchalantly. He looked at the competition on the stage. He still had four more matches to fight. If there were matches that had the same win, he would have to add on. It would be good for him to understand the strength of his opponent now.

If any brazen person suddenly jumped out and killed him, it would not be worth it.
