Du Yuqi said with some doubt:
"Which of mine are you referring to?"
Bishop Mia said sincerely:
"To be honest, we had many different opinions when we asked Shalan's disciple Ami to come to this bet. After you won this time, many people were not convinced and wanted to compete with you."
Du Yuqi sneered:
"Then come on! After I recover from my injuries, I'll be there for you anytime. Anyway, you have a lot of artifacts in the temple, so you can use one or two as a bet."
Bishop Mia was so angry that his eyes went dark after hearing this, but he still put on a wry smile and said:
"Ahem, it's like this. We have an urgent mission and need to temporarily dispatch personnel. We have to set off tonight, so there is an elite member in the temple who wants to spar with you later... I wonder if you can do me the honor?"
After Xi heard this, he said coldly:
"A fight! Is this how you fight? Pastor Du is injured, and all his cards have been revealed by you. Haha, you want to come and take advantage of him now?"
The people in the sanctuary had already prepared countermeasures for the doubts that Du Yuqi might raise, so they were also prepared for Xi's questioning. So Bishop Mia smiled and said:
"We know this is a bit unreasonable, but didn't Pastor Du just say that he is always available to help? That's why we asked this question."
Du Yuqi smiled and said:
"I just said it casually, but you guys took it seriously. Well, you know the rules, so fight me. Are you ready for the bet?"
Bishop Mia said:
"Of course, how about you choose one from our collection?"
Du Yuqi showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth:
"No, I want two!"
Bishop Mia shuddered and said:
“This is impossible!”
Du Yuqi said calmly:
"It doesn't matter if it's impossible. I'm not begging you to fight me anyway."
Bishop Mia gritted his teeth and threw out a trump card they had discussed:
"We feel that it is unfair to let you fight now, so the warrior who is going to fight has a suggestion, that is, he can also fight first, and you can find an opponent. After he finishes fighting, he can fight you, Pastor Du. In this way, both sides will be tired, isn't it fair?"
This proposal is actually the highlight of Bishop Mia’s trip!
The one who proposed this was the Whip of Redemption. He made it very clear at the time that Pastor Du was not a fool. No matter how conceited he was, he would never go into a bet that he would definitely lose. So when the temple made the conditions, it had to at least make him feel on the surface that he had a chance of winning, and a very good chance of winning!
At the same time, we can target Priest Du's greed by offering him juicy bait. By taking these two approaches at the same time, we will surely be able to force Priest Du to take risks.
At this time, when Bishop Mia proposed, Du Yuqi had not reacted yet, but Su Zhanxi's eyes lit up. Seeing Xi's reaction, Bishop Mia was overjoyed, which was consistent with the analysis of the people in the temple. They concluded that after this proposal came out, Feng Lin, the old man, would still have the face to not take action, so Su Zhanxi must appear.
Although Xi is also extremely famous, it also means that she is exposed to the spotlight. All her information is clear, and those who appear can take targeted measures.
Seeing Du Yuqi still hesitating and not nodding, Bishop Mia immediately remembered the words of the Hunter King:
"Pastor Du is very greedy, and his weakness is that he lacks skills. So why don't we cater to his needs and seize their demands..."
With this in mind, Bishop Mia said:
"We also know that this is a bit unreasonable, so we are willing to add another valuable treasure to the bet, which is a copy of Sodros's swordsmanship scroll! You know, Sodros is a practice maniac, and it is almost impossible for him to sacrifice his swordsmanship experience to make a swordsmanship scroll. It can only be obtained by chance. Are we sincere enough?"
Upon hearing the news, Du Yuqi's heart suddenly moved. He had already digested and absorbed 99% of the sword-fighting experience that Sodros had transmitted to him that day. However, he had not been able to fully grasp the remaining core parts. It could be said that he was only one step away.
If he could get this copy of Sodros's swordsmanship scroll at this time, then this process would undoubtedly be accelerated. At this time, Du Yuqi already had a vague feeling that once he completely digested the part that was blocking him, his swordsmanship would undergo a significant qualitative change.
Bishop Mia saw the change in Du Yuqi's expression and smiled. He knew the fish had taken the bait, so he smiled and said:
"Then can we play another round? Your bet is the Light Flame Ring and the Shadowless Sword Eleno. Our bet is that you choose another weapon and give away this copy of Sodros's swordplay scroll. The rules will be the same as before?"
Du Yuqi smiled and said:
"So the bet starts in three days?"
The smile on Bishop Mia's face froze, and he finally laughed dryly:
"Sadly, that's of course not possible."
Du Yuqi said with a half-smile:
"What? Does the Holy Temple also get scared sometimes?"
Bishop Mia felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, but he could not find any rebuttal for a while. How could he dare to agree to such conditions? If the Holy Church continued to lose this gambling match, then he would really lose everything - not only the treasures taken away by Du Yuqi, but also the cost of inviting Shalan's disciple Ami would be wasted, not to mention the loss of face.
At this time, Du Yuqi raised a finger and said simply:
"If there's not enough reward, why would I risk fighting your people in a gambling match? So, you have to raise the stakes."
Bishop Mia was stunned. He realized that the previous success was all a cover-up. The real drama was here. He could only say with a bitter face:
"What do you want to bet on and how do you want to bet on it?"
Du Yuqi said very straightforwardly:
"I accidentally saw one of the Light Assistance Sets on display here last time. I think it's pretty good. So, if you can add six extra pieces of the Qigong Master Light Assistance Set as a bargaining chip, then I'll take this bet."
There is no doubt that this time the six-piece set of Light Assistance Suit is the benefit for Xi. This set can greatly enhance the Qigong master's clone and the ability of phantom explosion. Xi originally has a very strong talent in this area, and can even make his clone move phantom. After obtaining the bonus and enhancement of this set, it can be said that the power of this move is definitely not inferior to the awakening skill, and it is even more practical!
Bishop Mia's face turned pale when he heard Du Yuqi's words. Before he could even open his mouth to refuse, Feng Lin actually added another stab:
"By the way, among the six pieces of the Light Assistance Set, you don't need the weapons and boots. I have already collected them for Xi."
Bishop Mia said with tears in his eyes:
"Okay, okay, I can't make the decision on this matter. I can only report to the higher-ups."
With the latest conditions proposed by Du Yuqi, Bishop Mia quickly reported to his superiors. The code added by Pastor Du can be said to have hit the mark very accurately, a point that made the church feel a little painful but would not directly reject it.
Soon, the meaning of the order was made very clear, which was to agree, but the gambling game must start within an hour.
…
Twenty minutes later.
Everyone returned to the previous venue.
Du Yuqi's face looked a little pale, but under the effect of the alchemy potion, his injuries had almost healed. Of course, things that the alchemy potion could not make up for in a short period of time could not be seen from the outside.
Xi had already stood in the duel arena with her eyes slightly closed. The wind blew from the sky, and the golden chains on her wrists swayed and collided slightly, making pleasant sounds like wind chimes.
Du Yuqi sat next to Feng Lin at this time and couldn't help but whispered:
"Teacher... since the Holy Hall has agreed to the bet, it means they must have a way to defeat Shang Xi, and win quickly."
Feng Lin nodded slightly and said:
“That’s what I hope for, too.”
Du Yuqi was stunned and said:
"I don't quite understand. I think this experience must not be very pleasant for Xi, so shouldn't you give some advice?"
Feng Lin said calmly:
"It is impossible for a person to only win and never lose in his life. Winning a battle is glory, but losing a battle is also wealth. She lost today, but at least I was watching her. Maybe she won't lose in the future. However, if she wins today, but loses next time, and I am not by her side, that would be the worst thing."
