When he was observing the raw stone just now, he merely sensed that there was something good inside, but he didn't expect there to be such a great thing inside.

Wang Ye also glanced at the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar.

This Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar, Wang Ye had only seen it before in a very popular novel on Earth Star, but he didn't expect to actually see a Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar here today.

Even if it's just a replica.

But as a First Grade Peak Cultivator, Wang Ye could feel with just a glance how much his own power could be increased if he used it.

He looked at Sun Tinghou again.

This guy.

What a... lucky dog.

Wang Ye stared at Sun Tinghou, and just when Sun Tinghou thought Wang Ye was going to admit defeat, he heard Wang Ye's voice by his ear:

"Sun Tinghou, how about we make a bet?"

"What kind of bet?"

Sun Tinghou looked at Wang Ye with some surprise. He didn't expect that at such a time, Wang Ye would still have the mood to gamble with him.

Wang Ye spoke very seriously:

"If you win this round, I'll be your bodyguard for free for ten years. If you lose, then just give me the replica of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar."

"What did you say?"

Sun Tinghou asked again.

It wasn't because Sun Tinghou wanted his own Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar replica, but because Wang Ye dared to bet with him in such a situation.

He looked at the raw stone on Wang Ye's side that was being cut by the cutter.

Because the raw stone Wang Ye selected was a bit larger than the one Sun Tinghou chose, the cutter was taking a bit longer to cut it.

Even so.

Now, four-fifths have already been cut.

Only one-fifth remains.

And Wang Ye.

Was he planning to win with just that remaining one-fifth?

Moreover.

What he got out was a replica of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar.

The words Wang Ye said to Sun Tinghou.

They were also transmitted to everyone's ears present through the amplified sound formation pattern.

Anyone who heard Wang Ye's words.

Only had one thought in mind.

Wang Ye's gone mad?

"Is it because Sun Tinghou got such a precious item from the raw stone that Wang Ye was provoked? In this competition, Wang Ye is definitely going to lose, so how can he dare to bet with Sun Tinghou like this?"

"Right, that's a replica of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar! To get something like the replica of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar from a raw stone, it would only happen once in a thousand years, no, ten thousand years."

"Could it be that Wang Ye has some sort of conspiracy? Like, even if Wang Ye loses, he still won't protect Sun Tinghou, and if he wins, he can directly get the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar replica?"

"No way, by engaging in this bet here, it's akin to everyone being a witness, including the Sorcerer's Headquarters, and Wang Ye is also the Saint Heir of the Ice Sect. If Wang Ye dares to do that, it would be equivalent to going against the entire sorcerer circle, and it would shame the Ice Sect. Even among cultivators, they would look down on Wang Ye."

"Then why would Wang Ye do this?"

"No matter why Wang Ye is doing this, Sun Tinghou only needs to agree to bet with him."

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop glanced at Wang Ye.

His brows have been tightly knit.

Even now, he couldn't see the reason why Wang Ye chose that raw stone.

But in his view, Wang Ye had already failed.

But since Wang Ye dared to propose such a bet with Sun Tinghou.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop knew that Wang Ye had a stable mindset and couldn't have cracked under such a small matter. If that were the case, he wouldn't have approved of Wang Ye from the start and decided to cooperate with him.

"In Wang Ye's eyes, what on earth is contained in that raw stone that makes him believe in it so much?"

As for Zhou Ke, he felt Wang Ye was insane.

Ji Ru Yu felt the same.

Next to Ji Ru Yu, Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan glanced at Ji Ru Yu.

Ji Lanshan had already failed, and since Ji Shaoyun was defeated by Ji Ru Yu, he was naturally displeased. But to maintain the Ji family's reputation, both Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan had to remain seated here.

And during these few days, Ji Ru Yu had been praising Wang Ye.

Now, Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan finally found a way to get back at him.

Ji Shaoyun looked at Ji Ru Yu and mocked, "Ji Ru Yu, is this the Wang Ye you've been praising? At this point, he's still gambling with others, not only losing the first round but potentially getting himself in even deeper. Truly smart, isn't he?"

Ji Lanshan also spoke with a mocking tone: "Yes, this Wang Ye really has some guts. Those who know would think he's got guts; those who don't might think there's something wrong with his head."

After Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan finished speaking, they exchanged a look and burst into laughter.

In their laughter,

The mockery was incredibly obvious.

Ji Ru Yu clenched his fist. He believed that Wang Ye had his own reasons for doing what he did, but that didn't mean he understood Wang Ye's actions.

He took a deep breath, glanced at Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan, and said to them:

"Ji Lanshan, you are a Third Rank Sorcerer, but my status and position are higher than yours."

"Ji Shaoyun, though you are a Second Rank Sorcerer, I have already defeated you in the previous competition, so now I am the top talent among the young generation of the Ji family. Both of you should show me some respect."

"Yet, just now, you've mocked me, and when addressing me, you didn't call me brother but used my name. This is against the Ji family rules."

"I will report this matter to the Ji family immediately, and when both of you return, prepare for your punishment."

Ji Ru Yu's words made the smiles on Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan's faces freeze instantly. They looked at Ji Ru Yu with nothing but hatred in their eyes.

Even though they wanted to deal with Ji Ru Yu, they couldn't take action since the time wasn't right.

They could only simmer in anger for now.
