"What happened?" Xu Qing yawned and walked over.

Upon seeing Xu Qing approach, Shi Jiang jumped and immediately changed his seat.

The atmosphere changed instantly.

When Zhao Ruo saw Xu Qing approaching, her angry expression faded. "It's all because of Luo Feng. He actually accepted William's challenge, knowing it was a trap, and still jumped right in."

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?" Xu Qing had also sobered up a bit, asked curiously.

Luo Feng had no choice but to recount how William had challenged him.

"Oh, I see. It should be fine. I think my brother-in-law will win. I didn't know you could gamble. Maybe I should go too. Fifty billion once, ten times would be five hundred billion," Xu Qing thought of a way to get rich.

Zhao Ruo was so angry she laughed. What kind of thought process was this? They were thinking of getting rich through challenges! "How are you so sure Luo Feng can win?"

"We can win, right?" Xu Qing looked at Luo Feng.

"I'm fairly confident," Luo Feng said, though he didn't speak too definitively, but anyone could hear the confidence in his voice.

Zhao Ruo was speechless. This brother-in-law and brother-in-law combination was really quite confident.

"Alright, alright, since Luo Feng is confident, he might not necessarily lose. I'm also waiting to see William get slapped in the face," Shi Jiang smiled.

Seeing that Shi Jiang had already said that, what else could Zhao Ruo say?

"I also want to be challenged! Fifty billion, how great would that be? I could eat so much good food!" Xu Qing went upstairs to wash up.

All three of them were amused; this big foodie!

"Luo Feng, just how strong is Xu Qing?" Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang were both extremely curious.

Xu Qing arrived at the Elite Training Camp, but he didn't seem to be there for further studies at all; rather, he seemed to be there for a vacation, showing no sign of tension.

"Senior brothers and sisters, do you usually browse Martial Artist Forum?" Luo Feng asked.

The two paused for a moment, then shook their heads. "What's so great about the Martial Artist Forum? It's mostly low-level Warrior exchanging ideas; it's of no help to us."

"I knew you'd say that, so you probably haven't seen the video," Luo Feng chuckled, then took out his laptop and played a video for them.

"What film?" Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang asked, puzzled, but they still looked over.

A dozen seconds later, the two of them stared wide-eyed at the same time, "This is... Xu Qing?!"

"That's right, he's already very strong, and he's also Spirit Controller. For him, it seems like it makes no difference whether he comes here or not."

"Most importantly, as you've all noticed, his skill level is very high. He single-handedly defeated over a hundred general-level monsters, including beginner, intermediate, and advanced ones, without sustaining a scratch. Those monsters couldn't even touch him," Luo Feng said solemnly.

This film is incredibly powerful, no matter how many times you watch it, and it may not even represent the full extent of Xu Qing's abilities.

Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang were also very shocked, never expecting that Xu Qing, who looked so cute, was so powerful.

They were also trainees in Elite Training Camp, so they could naturally see many unusual things in the film.

Whether it's the application and explosiveness of power, or speed and movement, Xu Qing is so outstanding that it's frightening; there's not a single flaw to be seen in him.

Even Shi Jiang, ranked among the top five on the Black Dragon Ranking List and possessing formidable strength comparable to War God, felt considerable pressure from Xu Qing.

Physical fitness can be honed little by little; as long as you're willing to work hard, you'll always reap the rewards. But you can't reach a certain level of spiritual attainment; it depends on talent and comprehension. If you lack talent and comprehension, it's impossible to make up for it through hard work alone.

"And what's even more terrifying is that Xu Qing doesn't specialize in close combat; he uses a bow. It's said that his archery skills are also very strong, but I haven't seen it myself yet," Luo Feng added.

"Huh?! His close combat skills are so high, and he even uses a bow? Are you kidding me?" Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang were dumbfounded.

Good heavens, what kind of monster is this?

Seeing Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang's reactions, Luo Feng was not surprised. Anyone who knew anything about Xu Qing's strength would have reacted the same way.

He was in a similar situation at first, but he accepted the fact that there are always people better than him. The important thing is not to stop moving forward and to keep moving forward.

Understanding this is also a form of mental elevation.

"I really can't believe it. I saw him fishing on the balcony just yesterday," Zhao Ruo sighed.

Regardless, Xu Qing's harmless face never gave her the feeling that he was very strong.

"He's just a little lazy; he'll still cultivate when it's time to do so," Luo Feng explained with a smile.

The brilliance of extraordinary talents is so dazzling that it easily makes people overlook the hard work they put in behind the scenes.

Xu Qing may be lazy, but he's not really lazy at all. It's just that his efficiency in putting in effort far exceeds that of ordinary people, so he doesn't need to work like others.

"Brother-in-law, you've finally said something that makes sense. I'll try my best," Xu Qing said as she came downstairs again.

Luo Feng glanced at him. "But you haven't put in enough effort."

"What does it matter? I just need to work hard when I need to, it won't affect anything. There's a saying that goes, 'You should balance work and rest.' You should all learn from me," Xu Qing said without feeling embarrassed at all.

The three men's lips twitched. "So you want to learn fishing from you?"

They really couldn't learn that, after all, none of them had Xu Qing's talent. If they tried to learn from him, they would definitely be doomed.

"I'm not going to bother with you guys anymore, I'm going to eat breakfast," Xu Qing said, knowing they wouldn't listen to her, so she gave up.

"Luo Feng, do you feel a lot of pressure having a brother-in-law like this?" Zhao Ruo asked.

Luo Feng shrugged. "How could it not be big? That's why I can't slack off even more. Otherwise, even if I really become his brother-in-law, I won't be able to keep him in check."

"Haha, that's right, keep up the good work," Shi Jiang patted him on the shoulder and stood up.

"Keep it up," Zhao Ruo said, then left with Shi Jiang.

To be honest, after learning how monstrous Xu Qing was, they also felt immense pressure and couldn't calm their minds. Only through cultivation could they quell this restlessness.

By this time, news of the bet between Luo Feng and William had spread, with the stakes being 5 billion Huaxia Currency.

This news caused a sensation in the Elite Training Camp. Many veteran students knew that William was bullying the newcomers, taking advantage of their recent arrival and the many things they didn't understand.

However, a bet of 5 billion Huaxia Currency is still very large; no one has ever played such a big game before.

On the day of the gambling battle, many students from various countries came to the ninth-floor hall of the Nine-Story Tower Building.

"There's no betting yet. I was thinking of placing a bet and making some money," Xu Qing thought, feeling disappointed to find that all the students were just there to watch the excitement, and not a single one was actually betting.
