The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

Chapter 57 Song Hao: I'm laying my cards on the table, I'm not pretending anymore...

"You want to gamble your life with me?"

Lin Suzhou was slightly taken aback, but seeing the murderous intent hidden in Xu Huang's eyes, he realized that he was not exaggerating.

What if you change your mind before you die?

Lin Suzhou crossed his arms and spoke softly.

Since Xu Huang harbors murderous intent towards him, then he should not only kill him, but also exterminate his entire family!

"I want to back out?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Huang suddenly became furious and laughed, "Once we sign the waiver, with so many people as witnesses, how can we go back on our word?"

"Fine! I'll take your bet!"

Lin Suzhou nodded emphatically, his killing intent rapidly gathering. Since leaving the Spirit Road, his Nether Sparrow Spear had hardly seen any blood. Today, he would use his blood to consecrate the spear.

"I'll go to the Spirit Arena and wait for you."

Xu Huang gave him a deep look, then, holding Xu Qingqing, he transformed into a streak of light and sped away into the distance.

After everyone from the Great Wilderness Society had left, Song Hao stepped forward and asked with concern, "Brother Lin, once the life-or-death contract is signed, one side must die for the battle to end. Are you really going to agree?"

Lin Suzhou didn't answer him after hearing this, but turned to him and asked, "Brother Song, do you know which continent Xu Huang's family is on?"

Song Hao slightly opened his eyes, because he could feel the intense killing intent emanating from Lin Suzhou. It was impossible to generate such killing intent without the lives of hundreds of people on one's hands.

This is completely different from the students in the ivory tower of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy.

"I know all the news about the famous people on the Heavenly Ranking."

Song Hao seemed to understand the deeper meaning behind Lin Suzhou's words, and leaned closer to whisper, "Brother Lin, the Xu family behind Xu Huang is only one continent away from the Northern Cang Continent. It only takes two days to reach them by taking the teleportation array."

If you want to wipe out his family, I can lend you a hand, brother.

After all, the Xu family has several supreme experts, and their ancestor is a fourth-grade supreme expert.

"Brother, what brilliant idea do you have?"

Lin Suzhou narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing that the Xu family had several supreme experts.

"To be honest, Brother Lin, my family sent a steward to protect me. He's currently in Beicang City; he's a Fifth-Rank Supreme."

"A Fifth-Rank Supreme Being!?"

Lin Suzhou glanced at Song Hao in surprise. It seemed that he really did have a powerful background, just as Wen Qingxuan had said.

Now you're not pretending anymore, you've come clean with him, right?

"Yes, Brother Lin and I feel like old friends. You have such great talent and you still call me 'brother.' I won't refuse to help you with this little favor."

As soon as Song Hao finished speaking, he exuded an aura of someone who had been in a high position for many years.

With such a background and status, yet he came to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy; it seems he's a man with a story to tell.

Afterwards, Lin Suzhou and his companion left the spirit-gathering array and headed towards the spirit arena located in the northwest.

This is a place specifically used by the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy for sparring and competition. Countless students come here on weekdays to improve their cultivation through practical combat.

Today, the Spirit Arena is especially lively and bustling.

On the largest platform in the Spirit Arena, there was a sea of ​​people, a dense mass of heads as far as the eye could see.

In the center of the sea of ​​people was a vast platform, its area spanning thousands of feet, large enough to accommodate a fierce competition.

The students were all excited, because today the top freshman and the fifth-ranked student on the Heavenly Ranking were going to have a life-or-death battle!

Even the higher-ups of the Spirit Academy could only watch helplessly and could not intervene in this life-or-death battle.

After all, the fact that the two people signed a life-or-death agreement means that the issue can no longer be resolved with words.

Therefore, today even a Heavenly Elder has come to oversee the event; it is none other than Zhutian, who is presiding over the New Student Assembly.

He came here to prevent innocent casualties in the stands.

"Betting odds! Guess who will be the final winner in this battle, still 1 to 3 payouts!"

Song Hao then reopened the betting pool, prompting many people to place bets frantically.

"Although both are at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, I think Xu Huang, as a senior, should have the upper hand! After all, he has been studying for a few more years."

"I also think so. Xu Huang is almost touching the late stage of the Transformation Realm. This freshman has only been here for less than half a year, yet he dares to sign a life-or-death contract. He looks like a hothead."

"This time I'm going to win back everything I lost at the last freshman orientation!"

"I disagree. I, Lin Suzhou, simply believe in miracles!"

'

'

The senior students in the stands started placing bets like crazy. If Lin Suzhou and Song Hao weren't in cahoots, he would have gone all in.

"Su Zhou, why did you agree to a life-or-death duel with Xu Huang?"

In a certain spot in the stands, Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li heard the news and hurriedly arrived at the Spirit Arena.

They were all confused. Didn't Lin Suzhou tell them today that he was going to ask Huo Feng for money?

How did she end up having a conflict with Xu Huang, insisting on a life-or-death battle?

Seeing the concerned faces of his two confidantes, Lin Suzhou smiled and told them not to worry too much: "I hit her sister, and he developed murderous intent towards me because of that. Even if we don't have a life-or-death battle, he will find a chance to take revenge later."

Rather than worrying about a trap that could be triggered at any moment, it's better to nip it in the bud.

"Better safe than sorry."

Luo Li wasn't as worried as Wen Qingxuan; she just gave her a word of advice.

She had always had confidence in Lin Suzhou. Since he agreed to Xu Huang's request, he must have given it careful consideration.

"Then go ahead, I'll cheer you on."

Even if you lose, I'll still go and rescue you! After all—I don't want to live a life of celibacy.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Qingxuan uttered these shocking words.

Lin Suzhou could only manage a wry smile, then kissed both women before landing on the Spirit Arena.

On the other side of the stands, Xu Huang was also talking with Xu Qingqing.

"Big brother, you absolutely have to beat him! You promised to take me to Ling Shan Sea after graduation, you have to keep your word!"

Xu Qingqing hugged Xu Huang's arm and raised her still slightly flushed face.

"Yes, I will definitely come back. Just wait for me here."

Xu Huang patted Xu Qingqing's head, and without realizing it, he seemed to have returned to his childhood—whenever Xu Qingqing was bullied and came to him crying, he would comfort her in this way.

Before I knew it, my little sister, who used to cry a lot when she was little, has grown up so much.

Qingqing, your big brother won't let anyone else bully you.

Never!

With unwavering resolve, Xu Huang also transformed into a streak of light and arrived at the Spirit Arena.

Seeing the two young men locked in a fierce eye-to-eye confrontation, Elder Zhutian in the middle sighed.

Unexpectedly, Xu Huang challenged Lin Suzhou to a life-or-death battle for his sister.

Losing either of these two would be a loss for the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy!

"Have you two made up your minds?"

Zhu Tian asked Lin Suzhou and the other person again.

"Yes, I've thought it through."

"6

Lin Suzhou affirmed again.

Xu Huang on the other side nodded slightly.

"Then let's drip this life-or-death agreement into our blood first."

Elder Zhutian, with his youthful face, sighed, took out a white scroll radiating spiritual energy, and read aloud: "Today, Lin Suzhou and Xu Huang voluntarily agree to a martial arts duel in the Spirit Arena to determine life and death and decide the victor."

The battle rules are as follows:

Firstly: During the battle, treacherous schemes, poisons, and hidden weapons are prohibited; only one's own cultivation, techniques, and spiritual weapons are allowed to fight.

Secondly: The battle was personally witnessed by myself (Zhutian), and both parties had no objection.

"I hereby swear an oath by my own blood and essence, a promise as weighty as the heavens and earth, and a testament to my spiritual veins. If I break this oath, I am willing to suffer the backlash of the laws of heaven and earth, to have all my cultivation destroyed, and to be forever condemned to immortality!"

As Zhutian finished speaking, a drop of blood flew from the fingertips of both Lin Suzhou and Xu Huang, merging into the scroll.

As the two finished signing the waiver, all eyes in the stands turned to them.

Battle is imminent!
