Song Ming felt slightly displeased. He suddenly felt that Fang Chen was becoming impossible to read.
At this moment, the onlookers had not thought that far. They only felt that Fang Chen was truly insane!
It was simply impossible to understand!
How dare Fang Chen do that?! Every move he made left them utterly bewildered!
First, he had dared to talk back directly to Senior Brother Wang, who was already in a fit of rage, without even fearing that he might be beaten to death!
What was even more astonishing was that Fang Chen had spewed filthy language, calling him trash over and over until he completely enraged Senior Brother Wang!
And yet Fang Chen had still uttered such arrogant words, believing that breaking through would be a piece of cake?!
The many disciples all felt that Fang Chen was merely bragging,
After all, ever since the incident of "entering the sect in a single day," everyone had learned one thing: Fang Chen's innate aptitude was only mediocre at best!
Under such circumstances, how could Fang Chen dare to claim that breaking through would be a piece of cake?!
Even Wang Yanshan, whose innate aptitude was close to superior, had failed when breaking into the Second Realm,
What on earth was Fang Chen thinking?
If he had merely been bragging, that would have been one thing. But when faced with Senior Brother Song's wager, Fang Chen had actually still been able to smile?
He even seemed to think he might win, and had directly demanded a dose of supreme medicine?!
The many disciples were completely unable to make sense of him,
What exactly was Fang Chen like? Did he truly have confidence, or was he merely putting on a brave front to save face?!
Everyone turned their eyes toward Senior Brother Wang, wondering whether he would accept the wager!
Wang Yanshan was so furious that he almost felt like laughing,
Fang Chen's arrogance had truly exceeded his imagination,
He could not figure out what Fang Chen was thinking either, but Song Ming's proposal was indeed highly suitable for the current situation,
However, Wang Yanshan felt that he had to set a deadline,
He put Fang Chen back on the ground and asked with a cold laugh, "There has to be a deadline, right? Within how many days can you successfully break through? Remember, you only have one chance!"
When the many disciples heard this, they immediately came to their senses,
That was right—they could set a deadline!
Fang Chen would definitely choose a longer period, so that he could make sufficient preparations and increase his chances of success!
Everyone felt that Fang Chen would name a very long deadline,
Including Jiang Qiutong, who had been watching for a long while from the side,
At present, Jiang Qiutong simply wanted to see how Fang Chen would handle this matter,
For some reason, she felt an inexplicable anticipation toward Fang Chen.
Meanwhile, Zhou Hai had already called Hong Decheng over from the distance,
But Hong Decheng had no intention of stopping anything. After all, Wang Yanshan had not actually struck him.
Zhou Hai watched anxiously from the side before suddenly shouting at Fang Chen, "Senior Brother, choose a longer deadline!"
Everyone turned to look at Zhou Hai, only then noticing that Master Hong had arrived as well.
Wang Yanshan did not want to bother with any of that. He threatened, "Brat, your deadline had better not be too long. Otherwise, once we leave this martial arts hall, I can't guarantee I won't use a few tricks!"
At that, Fang Chen suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at the surrounding onlookers and said with a laugh:
"Six days. Within six days, I will definitely break through!"
The instant they heard this, everyone's hearts exploded!
Six days?! What kind of concept was that?!
Fang Chen's words were even more shocking than Master Hong's earlier declaration of "entering the sect in a single day"!
However, this time, the shock only made the onlookers feel that Fang Chen had gone completely mad!
Was face really that important? Did he have to stubbornly pretend to be so amazing?!
The crowd had originally thought Fang Chen might have a chance. But now that he had said this, they felt that Fang Chen had completely lost all hope!
Six days! Adding those six days, Fang Chen would have been in the martial arts hall for only twenty-four days!
How laughable! Fang Chen was far too arrogant. With his mediocre-at-best aptitude, he actually wanted to reach the First Realm of martial arts within twenty-four days!
Even if Fang Chen succeeded on his first attempt, it would be impossible for him to do it in such a short time!
Song Ming could not help laughing as well,
Unable to find the book by its title? Try searching for the author instead. Perhaps it was simply renamed!
He had originally been worried that Fang Chen might truly have some reliance,
But now it seemed that Fang Chen was merely forcing himself to hold on for the sake of his pride,
Six days—how could he even bring himself to say that?!
Back then, Song Ming had constantly consumed supreme medicine, yet it had still taken him a full month and a half to successfully break through.
Fang Chen came from a poor family and had no supreme medicine to support him. Relying only on his mediocre-at-best aptitude to nurture his qi and blood, how could he possibly be faster than Song Ming?!
And not just a little faster, either—only twenty-four days! Fang Chen truly dared to imagine things!
Song Ming shook his head,
"Now, Qiutong probably won't pay attention to Fang Chen anymore."
Jiang Qiutong was completely dumbfounded at this moment,
She truly could not understand why Fang Chen would do such a thing!
But at this moment, another thought inexplicably rose within her heart,
What if he really succeeds?
"No, impossible." Jiang Qiutong shook her head, dispelling this absurd thought,
She sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed in Fang Chen.
Hong Decheng in the distance felt the same way. He had originally thought that this boy Fang Chen was rather interesting,
But now, it seemed that he was simply someone who cared far 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 wager was just made, and Wang Yanshan won't beat him to death."
Zhou Hai's mind was in complete turmoil at this moment, and he could not take in a word anyone said,
His thoughts were the same as everyone else's, yet also somewhat different,
What they shared was that he truly had not expected Fang Chen to choose such a short deadline.
What differed was that he did not believe Fang Chen was the sort of person who would disregard all consequences for the sake of his pride.
If Fang Chen truly lost, Wang Yanshan might very well beat him into crippling him. After that, he would never be able to practice martial arts again, and Fang Chen would no longer have any chance of improving his family's situation through martial arts.
In Zhou Hai's eyes, Fang Chen was someone who valued his family. Therefore, it was impossible for him to truly allow himself to lose!
Then... there was only one possibility...
Fang Chen really would successfully break through within six days!
But Zhou Hai naturally knew how slim that possibility was,
So his mind was in turmoil, and he did not know which of his thoughts was correct.
At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly said, "However, I want to add a condition as well."
Everyone shifted their attention back to Fang Chen,
They could not help wondering: could this condition Fang Chen was adding rekindle his hope?
But contrary to everyone's expectations, Fang Chen's condition was not something that could turn the situation around at all,
He merely looked at Wang Yanshan and said, "If I win, you must guarantee that you won't use underhanded methods against me or my family again."
Wang Yanshan immediately burst into loud laughter. He had never imagined that even now, Fang Chen still believed he would win!
He stopped laughing and looked toward Hong Decheng before saying loudly, "Master Hong, please bear witness. If Fang Chen wins, I guarantee that I won't use underhanded methods against him or his family."
"If I violate this agreement, Master Hong, you may kill me outright!"
Hong Decheng nodded and looked at Fang Chen with slight helplessness, as if asking, What on earth are you thinking, boy?
When Zhou Hai heard Fang Chen's words, however, his heart suddenly leaped with joy!
He became completely certain of the thought in his heart!
"That's right. Since Senior Brother Fang values his family so highly, how could he really let Wang Yanshan cripple him?!"
"He really can successfully break through within six days!"
Zhou Hai's emotions had risen and fallen like a roller coaster, but at last, he finally put his mind at ease.
Then Zhou Hai suddenly remembered something, and his mood immediately plummeted to rock bottom!
"Wouldn't that mean I've lost?! Wouldn't I lose my supreme medicine as well?!"
"Damn it! Why am I happy for him?!"
