"Oh?" Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this. This man was actually so confident that he had taken the initiative to raise the stakes.
After sizing the other man up, Su Mo saw nothing particularly extraordinary about him, aside from his aura being more profound and vigorous than Fu Tong's.
"Fine. Since you want to raise the stakes, naturally I have no objection!" Su Mo nodded. How could he object when he could earn more Spirit Crystals?
Of course, he did not underestimate the other man either. Since this man possessed such confidence, his strength was surely not weak.
"Very good. I can obtain Spirit Crystals and gain the status of a true disciple as well. How wonderful!" Jia Yan laughed, looking utterly certain of victory.
The crowd was secretly astonished. It seemed Jia Yan was truly confident of winning!
That made sense. With cultivation at the Second Layer Martial Venerable Realm, it was only natural for him to be confident of defeating Su Mo.
Rustle!
Immediately afterward, all the onlookers retreated in unison, making room for Su Mo and Jia Yan.
Su Mo and Jia Yan locked gazes, battle intent boiling in both their eyes.
Although Jia Yan was confident of victory, he did not dare underestimate Su Mo. After all, Su Mo's reputation was now far too great.
Not only had it spread throughout the Dao Sect, it had long since spread across the entire Taiyin Star.
Moreover, he had heard earlier that Su Mo had defeated Fu Tong, a Martial Venerable Realm, First Layer martial artist, with a single sword strike. Such combat strength was absolutely comparable to that of a Second Layer Martial Venerable Realm martial artist.
Green dark force surged around Jia Yan's body, constantly shifting like countless tentacles dancing in the air.
