Chapter 1074: Everything Is Under Fu Haotians Cont

Fu Haotian's sudden declaration left the entire audience in shock.

However, when they saw the elegantly dressed young man standing calmly with a smile, holding a cloud-patterned fan in his hand, exuding an air of absolute confidence, it was clear that this was no impulsive act.

On the contrary, it was the demeanor of someone who had already secured victory!

Tens of thousands of people were even more puzzled, and even the distinguished guests on the stage had a glint of amusement in their eyes.

The Grand Elder was also taken aback by Fu Haotian's words. Hesitating, he turned to seek guidance.

"Please, Palace Master, make the decision."

Nanli Qingming's eyes remained calm, as if he were witnessing an ordinary matter.

"Although there is no precedent, it is not impossible."

"This matter shall be left to them to decide."

His detached attitude was intriguing.

The guests on the surface showed no reaction, but in their hearts, they found this Palace Master to be inscrutable. They quietly sat back, adopting a posture of curious observation.

Meanwhile, the disciples outside the martial arena had already begun whispering among themselves.

"As expected of Senior Brother Fu! It seems he already has victory in the bag!"

"Haha, Senior Brother Fu is on a whole different level. Even in the competition for the top seat, he's already secured his win!"

"Hmph! He's just relying on his family background. What's there to boast about?"

"Tsk, if you have the guts, why don't you rely on your family background and speak up? This is his ability. What's the use of being jealous?"

"His family background is also part of Senior Brother Fu's strength. Why are you all so sour?"

"Winning by relying on external forces is despicable and shameless!"

Listening to the noisy commotion behind her, Zhongli Meng's heart was in turmoil.

Seeing Fu Haotian's confident smile, her sense of foreboding grew stronger. Even before the competition had begun, it felt as though Fu Haotian had already gained the upper hand.

Time, place, and people—everything seemed to be tilting in Fu Haotian's favor!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhongli Meng's pressure intensified. Although she didn't show panic, her solemn expression was hard to conceal.

Noticing her expression, Fu Haotian felt even more pleased.

While basking in his confidence of victory, he continued to apply pressure.

"The Palace Master has already given his approval. Why is Senior Sister Zhongli silent? Could it be that you lack the confidence to compete?"

Fu Haotian chuckled as he applied pressure, while also making rough calculations in his mind.

He had nearly 800 demon corpses in his possession.

In addition, there was Elder Wei Zhenfang's storage bracelet, which contained about 1,000 demon corpses—a terrifying number, and their quality was likely not low either.

Such results could only be achieved by several Heaven-tier experts working together.

Zhongli Meng only had the help of her fellow disciples, and at most, the old man Song Xugu, who was just one Heaven-tier expert. Even if they fought with all their might, they couldn't possibly achieve half of Fu Haotian's results.

Seeing through everything, Fu Haotian's smile grew even wider.

"Could it be?"

"Senior Sister Zhongli, are you really afraid to add a wager? If that's the case, I am truly disappointed. In front of the Palace Master and so many esteemed seniors, how can you be so timid and still be considered a candidate for the top seat of the Heavenly Palace?"

As he spoke, Fu Haotian spread his hands, a sly smile playing on his lips.

"How about this..."

"Senior Sister Zhongli, if the number of demons you've slain is at least half of mine, I will withdraw from the competition for the top seat. But if you don't even have half, then it would be truly disappointing. Not only would you have to give up your claim to the top seat, but you would also have to leave the Cangyun Heavenly Palace!"

"I've already made such a concession. Senior Sister, are you still afraid to take the bet? Surely not?"

His voice echoed loudly, one wave after another.

Fu Haotian, brimming with confidence, finally revealed his domineering side. With an overbearing attitude, he controlled the atmosphere of the arena. His arrogant questioning shocked tens of thousands of people, and the heated discussions grew even more intense.

At this point, Zhongli Meng's palms were already sweating.

The atmosphere of an almost certain victory began to permeate the martial arena.

Several senior brothers, filled with indignation, urgently sent her mental messages!

"Senior Sister! This scoundrel must have some trick up his sleeve. You absolutely must not take his bet!"

"Senior Sister, don't fall for his trap! Fu Haotian has always been treacherous. If he's so confident in making this bet, there must be a catch!"

"You can't take the bet! If you lose, you'll be expelled from the sect!"

"That bastard is infuriating! A villain who's gotten his way!"

The angry messages continued, and Zhongli Meng's heart was in chaos.

But as she clenched her fists inside her sleeves and looked into Fu Haotian's cold eyes, she realized one thing clearly: no matter what, after this competition for the top seat, this second-generation heir would never let her off easily.

Even if she didn't agree to the bet, she would have no place in the Heavenly Palace after her defeat.

If she agreed to the gamble, there might still be a sliver of hope.

At this point, the only option was to fight with everything she had!

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Zhongli Meng had no way out. She could only grit her teeth and respond.

"Fine!"

"I accept your wager. Let's compete according to your terms!"

Her soft voice carried a heroic tone, showing that she was not inferior to any man!

A look of determination appeared in her willow-like brows, surprising many of her fellow disciples. Even some of the distinguished guests on the stage raised their eyebrows in surprise.

The arena fell silent.

Only Fu Haotian's laughter echoed, growing more piercing and arrogant.

"Good, good!"

"Such spirit is worthy of my senior sister, hahaha!"

With a proud laugh, Fu Haotian's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he waved his sleeve to the side.

A stream of light shot out, converging into a golden orb. As the light dissipated, a pile of demon corpses several zhang high suddenly appeared in the martial arena. The remains of various demonic creatures exuded a terrifying aura!

Even without considering the horrifying aura of the demon corpses, the sheer size of the pile, dozens of zhang high, was enough to make the surrounding crowd gasp in shock!

The top experts on the stage couldn't help but praise him.

"In just three days, to have hunted so many demons and demonic creatures—truly remarkable."

"Fu Haotian is indeed extraordinary."

"Palace Master Nanli, it seems your sect is full of talented individuals. The younger generation is truly awe-inspiring, and it's quite enviable."

"You flatter me..."

As the praises continued, the disciples outside the arena also showed mixed expressions.

As for Zhongli Meng...

Upon seeing the pile of demon corpses, she was momentarily stunned, but her expression soon relaxed.

She then pointed to the side.

A stream of light shot out from her storage ring, and a pile of demon corpses also appeared in the martial arena!

The two piles of demon corpses formed small hills, and they seemed almost equal in size.

At a glance...

Zhongli Meng and Fu Haotian's harvests appeared to be evenly matched...

Instantly, the distinguished guests on the stage were stunned.

The disciples at the edge of the arena were also filled with doubt.

Not only were the guests curious, but even the elders of the Cangyun Heavenly Palace were closely watching the arena. The situation had suddenly become quite interesting.

The presiding elder was momentarily stunned but quickly sent disciples to count the corpses.

Dozens of disciples entered the martial arena and began their meticulous work.

The heated discussions outside the arena grew even more intense, and public opinion began to shift.

Even the previously nervous senior brothers now had a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

"Who would have thought? Fu Haotian's results don't seem that impressive. Maybe Senior Sister Zhongli has a chance!"

"To be on par with Young Master Fu, Senior Sister Zhongli is truly impressive!"

"Nonsense! They may look similar, but Fu Haotian is definitely the winner!"

"Haha, Senior Brother Fu hunted mostly demonic creatures, not mere demons. You outer sect disciples can't even tell the difference?"

"Exactly! How could Senior Brother Fu lose?"

"I don't believe it. With two similar piles of demon corpses, how could Fu Haotian's results be twice as much?!"

"Senior Sister Zhongli, go for it!"

"Senior Brother Fu will definitely win!"

The previously one-sided public opinion began to shift slightly in Zhongli Meng's favor.

Outside the arena, arguments broke out, and the noisy commotion was hard to suppress!

Finally, the counting was completed, and the records were handed over to the presiding elder.

The entire arena fell silent.

All eyes were fixed in anticipation, while Fu Haotian and Zhongli Meng stood with different expressions, waiting quietly!

"Fu Haotian, 622 demonic creatures slain, 203 demons slain, totaling 825!"

Many people clenched their fists in excitement, looking at Fu Haotian with admiration.

Then, the elder's eyes suddenly widened, and he continued in a deep voice.

"Zhongli Meng... 502 demonic creatures slain, 330 demons slain, totaling 882?"

The elder's voice was filled with surprise, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

As his deep voice echoed, the martial arena fell silent.

Shock and amazement spread through the crowd, and the silence was almost eerie!

Zhongli Meng's results were actually better than Fu Haotian's?!

How was this possible?!

Not only were Fu Haotian's supporters stunned, but even the senior brothers who had gone demon hunting were frozen in disbelief!

Only after the elder's voice faded did someone finally snap out of it.

Cheers erupted, and the joy was hard to contain!

"Did we win?"

"Both have over 800, but Senior Sister Zhongli has more. Senior Sister Zhongli won!"

"I can't believe it, Senior Sister Zhongli actually won!!!"

"Truly, heaven has eyes. Our hard work wasn't in vain!"

"Hahaha, Fu Haotian said that if she had half as much, she would win. But she actually has more than him. With such results, how dare he boast? What a clown!"

"Senior Sister completely won! This is so satisfying!"

The cheers were filled with excitement, waking up the tens of thousands of disciples.

Shock and disbelief spread through the crowd, as if they had just witnessed a miracle!

The distinguished guests and the higher-ups of the Heavenly Palace were also stunned.

Watching the few disciples cheering, they couldn't help but frown slightly!

No one had expected this outcome.

Fu Haotian, who had been so confident, had been completely defeated by Zhongli Meng!

This outcome was truly unexpected.

Not only had Zhongli Meng won, but she had done so decisively.

The presiding elder was also baffled. After carefully checking several times, he found no mistakes. Looking at Fu Haotian, he saw that the young man was still standing calmly.

Although his composure was somewhat strange, it didn't change the result.

Based on the results, Zhongli Meng had indeed won.

The elder took a deep breath and was about to announce the result.

But Fu Haotian suddenly raised his hand to stop him, chuckling once more.

"Wait!"

His deep voice caused tens of thousands of disciples to show strange expressions.

Zhongli Meng and all her senior brothers were also drawn by this sudden action, their eyes filled with wariness and confusion.

Fu Haotian remained as calm as ever, as if he hadn't been affected at all.

His tone was still steady.

"My results are not just this much."

He said playfully.

Whoosh!

His words shocked the entire arena, and Zhongli Meng and her senior brothers were stunned.

Even the seven top experts on the stage widened their eyes.

In the heavy silence...

Fu Haotian confidently stepped forward, his hands behind his back, as if he were the undisputed winner!

"I have another storage bracelet. Because of its high grade, to avoid losing it, I temporarily entrusted it to Elder Wei."

"Inside it, there are another 1,000 demon corpses!"

"The outcome is not yet decided. You're celebrating too early, aren't you?"

Standing in front of Zhongli Meng, Fu Haotian looked down at her with a towering figure, his face showing a confident, indifferent smile.

As soon as he finished speaking...

Zhongli Meng felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her face instantly paling.

This second-generation heir still had a trump card up his sleeve!

"1,000 demon corpses? How is that possible?!"

The senior brothers behind her trembled, exclaiming in shock!

The presiding elder also widened his eyes.

At this moment, he finally understood why Fu Haotian had remained so calm and even dared to make such bold claims. This disciple, with his extraordinary background, was indeed no ordinary figure.

A full 1,000 demon corpses—even the elder's eyes showed seriousness.

No one had expected Fu Haotian's influence to be so great. He had truly achieved a crushing victory. With a total of over 1,800 demon corpses, his power and background were truly terrifying!

The disciples outside the arena were in an uproar.

So, everything had been under Fu Haotian's control all along.

Winning the competition for the top seat with an overwhelming advantage—this was Fu Haotian's true strength. Not only did he want to win, but he also wanted his opponent to lose completely. What a terrifying level of scheming!

His ruthless and decisive style was truly extreme!

The previously divided public opinion now completely sided with Fu Haotian!

Almost 90% of the disciples looked at him with awe and fear.

Praise and admiration filled the air, and the discussions were like a tidal wave!

The entire arena was in shock, and the heated discussions erupted like a storm!
