"Tsk, tsk. Young people let their tempers get the better of them. In a contest of strength, Qin Hao was ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. His strength was beyond doubt, and he could crush Ge Tao. But when it came to Stone Gambling..."
A Saint Martial Grandmaster who looked like an old man shook his head and sighed. "I've heard a little about Ge Tao. He started Stone Gambling as soon as he reached Absolute Immortal City and struck it big, uncovering Treasure Crystal worth three million low-grade spirit stones. He clearly practiced Stone Gambling back in the Southern Zhuo Domain. He has plenty of experience."
"Qin Hao really shouldn't have agreed to Stone Gambling with Ge Tao."
Everyone agreed. They knew Qin Hao came from the Southern Reach, and what sort of place was that?
Impoverished!
Even the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy fell short of the Great Scarlet Reach's, let alone the Southern Zhuo Domain's or the Absolute Immortal Domain's.
As far as the crowd was concerned, Qin Hao had asked for trouble by agreeing to Stone Gambling with Ge Tao.
"He had no choice. Ge Tao went that far. If Qin Hao refused, he'd lose face badly, and his reputation would take a serious hit."
"True, but I still think Qin Hao was too impulsive."
Others thought the same.
One after another, they looked at Qin Hao with pity, as though they could already see his inevitable defeat.
Qin Hao acted as though he hadn't heard them. His face remained cold, and a faint killing intent lingered in his eyes.
"Qin Hao, under the Stone Gambling rules, each of us picks ten Rough Stones, with a total price no higher than two million low-grade spirit stones."
Ge Tao sneered.
