What am I happy about?!

Song Ming felt a slight displeasure. He suddenly felt that he couldn't quite gauge Fang Chen's depth.

The onlookers, however, weren't thinking that much. They just felt that Fang Chen was truly insane!

It was simply incomprehensible!

How did Fang Chen dare? Every move Fang Chen made felt utterly bizarre to them!

First, he dared to directly retort to Senior Brother Wang, who was in a fit of rage, without fear of being beaten to death!

Even more astonishingly, Fang Chen spewed profanities, calling him a "waste" repeatedly, completely enraging Senior Brother Wang!

As a result, Fang Chen actually uttered such arrogant words, believing he could break through realms with ease?!

Many disciples simply thought Fang Chen was boasting.

After all, ever since the "One-Day Initiation" incident, everyone knew one thing: Fang Chen's aptitude was only mediocre.

Under such circumstances, how did Fang Chen dare to say he could break through realms so easily!

Even Wang Yanshan, whose aptitude was close to top-tier, had failed when attempting to break through to the Second Realm.

What exactly was Fang Chen thinking?

If it were just boasting, it would be one thing. But facing Senior Brother Song's bet, Fang Chen could still laugh?

And he seemed to think he might win, even demanding an elixir as part of the deal?!

The many disciples were completely confused.

What kind of person was Fang Chen? Did he truly have confidence, or was he just putting on a brave face!

Everyone turned their gaze to Senior Brother Wang, wondering if he would accept this bet!

Wang Yanshan was so angry he felt like laughing.

Fang Chen's arrogance was truly beyond his imagination.

He couldn't figure out what Fang Chen was thinking, but Song Ming's proposal was indeed very suitable for the current situation.

However, Wang Yanshan felt he needed to add a time limit.

He placed Fang Chen back on the ground and asked with a cold laugh, "There must be a deadline, right? Within how many days can you successfully break through? Remember, you only have one chance!"

Upon hearing this, the many disciples suddenly realized.

Right, they could add a time limit!

Fang Chen would definitely want to extend the time, so he could prepare adequately and increase his chances of success!

Everyone thought Fang Chen would state a very long deadline.

Even Jiang Qiutong, who had been watching for a long time, thought so.

Jiang Qiutong now just wanted to see how Fang Chen would handle this matter.

For some reason, she had an inexplicable sense of anticipation towards Fang Chen.

Meanwhile, Zhou Hai in the distance had already called Hong Decheng over.

But Hong Decheng had no intention of stopping them, as Wang Yanshan hadn't made a move.

Zhou Hai, watching from the side, was getting anxious. He suddenly shouted at Fang Chen, "Senior Brother, choose a longer time limit!"

Everyone turned to look at Zhou Hai and finally noticed that Master Hong had also arrived.

Wang Yanshan, however, didn't want to bother with all that. He threatened, "Kid, your deadline better not be too long, or once we're outside this martial arts school, I can't guarantee I won't resort to some tricks!"

Hearing this, Fang Chen burst into laughter. He looked at the surrounding crowd and said with a smile:

"Six days. Within six days, I will definitely break through!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's minds instantly exploded!

Six days?! What kind of concept was that?!

Fang Chen's statement was even more shocking than Master Hong's earlier "One-Day Initiation"!

However, this time, the shock made all the onlookers feel that Fang Chen had completely lost his mind!

Was face really that important? Did he have to stubbornly pretend to be so powerful?!

Originally, the crowd thought Fang Chen had a slim chance. But after hearing these words, they felt Fang Chen had no hope at all!

Six days! Including these six days, Fang Chen would have only been in the martial arts school for twenty-four days!

It was ridiculous! Fang Chen was too arrogant. With his mediocre aptitude, he actually wanted to reach the First Realm of the Martial Path within twenty-four days!

Even if Fang Chen succeeded on his first try, it would be impossible to achieve it in such a short time!

Song Ming couldn't help but chuckle at this point.

He had originally been worried that Fang Chen might have some hidden trump card.

But now, seeing this, he realized Fang Chen was just stubbornly holding on for the sake of his pride.

Six days. How could he even say that out loud!

It took me a full month and a half of constantly consuming elixirs to successfully break through to the next realm.

Fang Chen comes from a poor family and has no elixirs to support him. How could he possibly cultivate Blood Essence faster than me, relying solely on his mediocre aptitude?

And not just a little faster, but in just fourteen days. This Fang Chen really has some nerve!

Song Ming shook his head.

"With this, Qiutong should no longer pay attention to this Fang Chen."

Jiang Qiutong, standing nearby, was completely stunned.

She really couldn't understand why Fang Chen would do this!

But at this moment, a thought inexplicably popped into her mind, What if he actually succeeds?

"No, impossible." Jiang Qiutong shook her head, dispelling the absurd thought.

She sighed, feeling a bit disappointed in Fang Chen.

Hong Decheng, watching from afar, felt the same way. He had initially thought this kid Fang Chen was interesting, but now it seemed he was someone who cared too much about saving face.

Hong Decheng shook his head and looked at Zhou Hai beside him.

"You don't need to worry too much. At least the bet just now stated that Wang Yanshan won't beat him to death."

Zhou Hai's mind was a mess at this moment; he couldn't hear anything anyone was saying.

He agreed with everyone else's thoughts, yet also differed slightly.

The agreement was that he indeed hadn't expected Fang Chen to propose such a short deadline.

The difference was that he didn't think Fang Chen was someone who would disregard all consequences for the sake of face.

If Fang Chen truly lost, he could very well be crippled by Wang Yanshan, unable to practice martial arts ever again. Fang Chen would then have no way to improve his family's situation through martial arts.

In Zhou Hai's eyes, Fang Chen was someone who valued family deeply, so he couldn't possibly let himself lose!

Therefore... there could only be one possibility...

Fang Chen would actually succeed in breaking through to the next realm within seven days!

But Zhou Hai naturally knew how slim this possibility was.

So, his mind was in a turmoil, unsure which of his thoughts was correct.

At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly said, "However, I want to add a condition."

Everyone refocused their attention on Fang Chen.

They all wondered if the condition Fang Chen was adding could reignite his hope.

But to everyone's surprise, Fang Chen didn't state a condition that would turn the tables.

He simply looked at Wang Yanshan and said, "If I win, you must promise not to use underhanded tactics against me and my family anymore."

Wang Yanshan burst into laughter. He hadn't expected that, even now, Fang Chen still thought he would win!

He stopped laughing and looked at Hong Decheng, saying loudly, "Master Hong, please be a witness. If Fang Chen wins, I promise not to use underhanded tactics against him and his family."

"If I break this agreement, Master Hong, you can just kill me!"

Hong Decheng nodded, glancing at Fang Chen with a hint of helplessness, as if to say, What on earth are you thinking, kid?

At this moment, Zhou Hai, hearing Fang Chen's words, felt a sudden surge of joy!

He became completely firm in his conviction!

"That's right, Senior Brother Fang values his family so much, how could he possibly let Wang Yanshan cripple him!"

"He really can succeed in breaking through to the next realm within seven days!"

Zhou Hai's emotions swung wildly, finally settling down completely.

Just then, Zhou Hai suddenly remembered something, and his mood immediately plummeted to the bottom!

"Then I'll lose?! Won't my elixirs be gone!"

"Damn it! Why am I happy for him!"
