Xu Wendong faces off against Huang Baishan after a previous transaction, with the crowd watching. Huang Baishan, feeling humiliated, accepts Xu Wendong's challenge to a stone gambling duel to win back his lost Nether Crystals. The Ying Family agrees to supply the stones and act as witnesses for the high-stakes bet.

Huang Baishan’s words naturally attracted attention.

Many people also saw the treasure ore chosen by Xu Wendong.

"That stone can indeed produce a treasure, but given its size, what kind of treasure can he possibly get?"

"I’m afraid whatever comes out won’t be too valuable, right?"

"He still lacks experience, he ultimately made a wrong move."

The crowd began to discuss.

This time, Xu Wendong’s choice of treasure ore was appreciated by many, but they didn’t think it would produce anything with a high value.

This gambling match is about producing things of higher value with limited resources.

So Xu Wendong’s strategy of winning by quantity isn’t really sound.

In contrast, Huang Baishan’s choice of four treasure ores seemed promising, and among them, there was definitely something significant, especially the ore worth fifty-four thousand Nether Crystals.

"Kid, you’ve lost this time. Get ready to repay me those twenty million Nether Crystals!"

Huang Baishan said coldly.

He had already sent someone to unlock his treasure ores.

"The outcome is yet undecided, why rush?" Xu Wendong waved his hand, indicating for someone to start unlocking his stones.

Quite a few stone openers from the Netherworld Pavilion came. They helped Xu Wendong and Huang Baishan open their stones. When the first cut was made, there was no light in Xu Wendong’s stone, not even a strike.

"Empty stone."

Declared the stone opener.

An empty stone means there’s no treasure inside.

This would mean losing everything.

"As expected!" The surrounding spectators nodded.

It seemed their judgment was not bad; there were indeed some empty stones among the ones Xu Wendong picked.

"Hahaha, with your skills, aren’t you just giving me money?"

Huang Baishan’s face was full of joy. He had been tricked by Xu Wendong out of twenty million Nether Crystals but felt he could win them back now.

However, Huang Baishan was somewhat dissatisfied.

Winning back this way, he still felt at a loss, because when Xu Wendong tricked him out of the twenty million Nether Crystals before, it was sure to spread, and people would laugh at him.

He needed to think of a way to embarrass Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong appeared very calm at this time.

He had picked eight stones in total, and this was just the first one.

Then it was the second stone, and the stone opener worked professionally, not slow in pace. With the second treasure ore cut open, a Third Grade Spiritual Medicine was revealed inside.

"Ancient Tree Root, Third Grade Spiritual Medicine, worth twenty thousand Nether Crystals."

The stone opener immediately announced.

At this point, people from the Netherworld Pavilion started recording.

This competition was hosted by the Netherworld Pavilion, with the Ying Family responsible, all for fairness’s sake.

Meanwhile, Huang Baishan’s first stone was also opened.

A streak of blue light flashed, and the stone opener began announcing.

"Fourth-grade Treasure, estimated to be around one million Nether Crystals."

With these words spreading, Huang Baishan’s face instantly showed a proud expression, his eyes full of mockery, looking at Xu Wendong with some disdain.

"Hahaha, kid, you’re quite behind now."

"If you admit defeat now, perhaps I’ll still let you off."

Huang Baishan sneered, aiming for ultimate humiliation of Xu Wendong.

"You seem quite anxious," Xu Wendong shrugged, displaying a calm expression, "I still have six stones left unopened, why are you rushing?"

Seeing this, Huang Baishan snorted coldly: "You’re just being stubborn."

"Youlu, you see this, right? This guy is just a silver spear head full of lead inside, the treasure that he opened was purely lucky, he just had dumb luck."

"Now in front of me, he’s nothing, just an easy target."

After Huang Baishan spoke, Ying Youlu simply ignored him.

As if Huang Baishan was nothing more than a clown.

This scene just made Huang Baishan even more furious.

What has happened to Ying Youlu? What kind of brainwashing has Xu Wendong done to make Ying Youlu so obedient?

"Click..."

Consecutive sounds of breaking were heard, and Xu Wendong’s third and fourth treasure ores were all opened, revealing treasures, but none of high value. Including the previous Third Grade Spiritual Medicine, their total value barely reached one hundred thousand Nether Crystals.

Normally, being able to make a break-even on stone gambling is already considered quite skilled.

Both Xu Wendong and Huang Baishan were considered skilled in gambling stones.

But their competition wasn’t about breaking even.

"Click..."

Huang Baishan’s second treasure ore got opened, with purple light shining out.

"Fourth-grade Treasure, and top-grade! This thing is probably worth three hundred thousand Nether Crystals." said the stone opener for Huang Baishan after taking a deep breath.

These words excited everyone; they didn’t expect Huang Baishan’s eye for stones to be this good.

He had only opened two treasure ores and already possessed treasures worth four hundred thousand Nether Crystals, completely overshadowing Xu Wendong.

Gradually, Ying Youwei and Ying Youlu started to grow worried.

Could it be that Xu Wendong was truly going to lose?

Meanwhile, three consecutive treasure ores by Xu Wendong were all broken open.

But without exception, these were all empty stones!

"Hiss..."

"Now he’s completely done for."

"He opened seven treasure ores, and the total value he discovered was just one hundred thousand Nether Crystals, isn’t this a certain defeat?"

"Indeed, Huang Baishan still has two ores left!"

"Including one ore that’s worth fifty-four thousand Nether Crystals!"

The surrounding spectators had already predicted the result, under these circumstances, Xu Wendong was almost certain to lose.

"Hahaha, you really aren’t my match." Huang Baishan laughed, having finally found a way to deal with Xu Wendong.

Just then, Huang Baishan suddenly spoke.

"Kid, if you have the guts, how about we raise the stakes?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up.

It seemed Huang Baishan knew he was winning, so he wanted to increase the stakes?

"You’re too much!"

"Winning is winning, why do you want to raise the stakes?"

Ying Youlu said somewhat indignantly, after all, this Huang Baishan was truly a wild dog, enjoying bullying the weak.

After all, this was Xu Wendong’s first time gambling stones; it was normal for him to suffer some losses.

"Haha, Youlu, that’s not right." Huang Baishan said casually, "Didn’t he say just now? The outcome is undecided yet, he hasn’t lost."

"Indeed, I haven’t lost yet."

Xu Wendong remained calm, as he had already consulted the Painting Saint.

Inside the treasure ore valued at thirty thousand Nether Crystals, a peerless treasure was hidden.

This was the most valuable piece among all treasure ores in the Netherworld Pavilion.

But since the people from the Netherworld Pavilion couldn’t see the treasure hidden inside, they set an extremely low price, allowing Xu Wendong to find a bargain.

"What do you want to bet?"

Xu Wendong asked curiously, thinking it was the perfect time to raise the stakes, and he felt that demanding one million Nether Crystals earlier was too little.
