Gambler's Mentality

Not only Yi Yun, but also Shentu Nantian and others were filled with curiosity about the images left on the array plates in the Empress Secret Realm. What era did these images record?

Is this really the Tianyuan Realm?

How come there were so many masters in ancient times?

That Black Armored Warrior was already monstrous enough, but this Green-robed Swordsman was even slightly stronger than the Black Armored Warrior.

It's simply unbelievable; such a terrifying existence has no reason not to leave a legendary mark on history.

At this moment, the images in the array plate had disappeared. People like Shentu Nantian had all endured such terrifying sword techniques, even if it was just a fleeting image.

After the Sword Light disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Shentu Nantian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He also wielded a sword, and the images in this array plate were truly something he longed for. If he could unleash such a sword strike, what would the position of the head of the Shentu Nantian Lineage matter? He would rule the entire Tianyuan Realm.

The Lin family and Yi Yun will be wiped out, and Lin Xin Tong will be made his female slave.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking. Shentu Nantian knew his own limitations; the gap between his ability and his ability to comprehend the sword techniques within this array was too vast.

As he was thinking, he saw Yi Yun take the array plate off his head and put it in his pocket. This action stunned Shentu Nantian.

The others also looked at Yi Yun with surprise.

What is Yi Yun trying to do? Does he intend to take this array plate?

"Yi Yun, you..."

Even Lin Xin Tong was surprised by Yi Yun's choice. She had seen the image of the array plate earlier, and she felt that with her comprehension, it would be difficult for her to learn anything from it.

Although Yi Yun is outstanding, he is ultimately limited by his martial arts realm. Could it be that he has some special insight into this array plate?

Lin Xin Tong knew that Yi Yun generally wouldn't do things without being sure of success, so if that were the case, Lin Xin Tong found it hard to imagine.

"What's that kid up to now?"

Shentu Nantian frowned. He was now driven to the brink of nervous breakdown by Yi Yun. Whenever Yi Yun made any move, he had a bad feeling.

"What else could he be up to? Has this kid gone mad?"

Beside Shentu Nantian, several of his followers chuckled and said that although Yi Yun had obtained a "Master" rating, which seemed impressive, he wasn't the only one to Yi Yun this; there was also Lin Xin Tong, who had obtained a "Soul" rating.

It's hard to believe Lin Xin Tong would dare to choose such a difficult array.

Yi Yun is overestimating himself.

However, after listening to what his underlings said, Shentu Nantian frowned even more. If Yi Yun was really that stupid, how could he have gotten to where he is now?

Obviously, he isn't.

Aside from the time in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom when Shentu Nantian severely defeated Yi Yun, Shentu Nantian Shentu Nantian has suffered repeated setbacks at Yi Yun's hands ever since arriving in the Tianyuan Realm.

From the Savage Heaven Technique Tea Party and the Medicine Trial Assembly to this Empress Secret Realm.

He had already suffered several major losses because he underestimated Yi Yun.

Yi Yun's various bizarre methods kept Shentu Nantian busy dealing with them, and now Shentu Nantian was becoming a bit like a frightened bird.

Even though Yi Yun was much weaker than him, Shentu Nantian's eyelids would twitch and he would feel uneasy whenever Yi Yun made a move.

Could it be that this kid has discovered something in the array plate again?

In Shentu Nantian's view, not only was Yi Yun treacherous, but the Empress Secret Realm was also full of traps, and blind confidence would definitely lead to losses.

Who knows if the Empress Secret Realm might set a trap in this array selection?

It's even possible that the Ancient Empress wanted to test their courage, to see if they dared to face the pressure and aura of the ancient Great Emperor.

Thinking about all this, Shentu Nantian felt his mind was in turmoil.

The array plate belonging to the Green Mountain Swordsman had been taken by Yi Yun, so he couldn't choose it anymore. His gaze then focused on the array plate belonging to the Black Armored Warrior who had ridden the Nightmare Beast earlier.

This array plate...

Shentu Nantian had originally had an impulse to choose this array plate, but he lacked the courage. Now, seeing that Yi Yun had already chosen the array plate of the Green-robed Swordsman, Shentu Nantian was itching to make his move again.

If this choice of formation truly reflects a test of courage, then perhaps he's made the right bet...

Even if he loses the bet, it's not a loss he can't afford; after all... he can always choose another array plate.

Once this idea takes root in your mind, it grows wildly like weeds.

People always have a speculative mentality of trying to win big with small investments, and martial artists are no exception.

Shentu Nantian was like a gambler at this moment, looking at the black array plate in front of him, hesitant.

"What? You were rated as a 'Scholar' by the Empress Secret Realm, yet you dare not choose this array plate?"

Yi Yun's voice suddenly rang in Shentu Nantian's ears. Shentu Nantian's face darkened. These were the words he had said to Yi Yun a quarter of an hour ago. Now, Yi Yun had only changed one word and returned the words exactly as they were.

"Trying to provoke me?"

Shentu Nantian chuckled lightly. The more he was provoked, the more he felt there was something seriously wrong.

Yi Yun probably figured something out, and his provocation was likely a cover-up.

However, Shentu Nantian did not make a choice easily. He had already chosen one of the two array plates, but he was still hesitating about the second one.

As time passed, Yi Yun had already chosen his second array plate.

This array plate wasn't anything extraordinary; it was simply an array plate demonstrating the pure Yang laws. The laws within the array plate were very enlightening for Yi Yun.

Most people had made their choices, and Shentu Nantian, who had hesitated to act, attracted much attention. Just as half an hour was about to end, the Empress Secret Realm's cold voice rang out again. "The altar is about to close. There are ten breaths left."

With only ten breaths left, Shentu Nantian gritted his teeth. He looked at the array plates he had previously selected, and with only three breaths remaining, Shentu Nantian made a snap decision and stuffed the Black Armored Warrior's array plate into his pocket!

He might regret choosing this array plate, but he'll regret it immediately if he doesn't.

In this era, the bold get rich and the timid starve. He hasn't had many chances in his life to take big gambles. If he doesn't take this one now, he might miss out on a great opportunity!

"Young master, you..."

Shentu Nantian's underlings were all somewhat surprised; Shentu Nantian had actually chosen such a terrifyingly difficult array plate...

Yi Yun glanced at Shentu Nantian in surprise. What was this guy thinking? Did he choose the same array plate just because Yi Yun had chosen one with extremely high difficulty?

Everyone else was stunned by Shentu Nantian's actions.

"What is Shentu Nantian up to?"

"Shentu Nantian and Yi Yun both chose a top-tier battle array plate for Great Emperor! Have they gone mad?!" (To be continued~^~)
