Chapter 225

Zhang Yucheng repeated his earlier words: "I don't know."

A ten-second kill—he asked himself, and he knew he couldn't do it.

Zhang Yucheng also did not believe that anyone could kill Yan Lingtian in ten seconds while at the Second Advancement stage.

"The matter was clearly resolved. With that token, the Yan family and the Yang family would have received the punishment they deserved."

Qin Xuehou's face was full of confusion, and even more so, worry.

"Why would Li Yao set such a disadvantageous bet?"

Qin Xuehou's thoughts were the same as those of every practitioner present.

Killing an SS-rank prodigy in ten seconds—to anyone, it sounded like a fantasy!

They could not see any angle from which Li Yao could win.

"Li Yao is getting carried away!"

"If this life-and-death pact is signed, even having the Dean as a backer won't help!"

"He had already won a complete victory, yet he still insists on making such a bet. With this kind of temperament, I don't know how the Dean of the Jingyu Martial Academy took a liking to him!"

Just as the crowd kept questioning him, only Jiutiao Meise watched Li Yao's side with a grave expression.

Is Li Yao planning to summon that giant dragon?

A ten-second kill—can that dragon really achieve such a level?

Even if it is strong, there should be a limit, right?

At this moment, no one was happier than the group from the Yang family.

Originally, they were worried about how to handle the situation since Li Yao had such a backer!

As it turned out, Li Yao was seeking his own death!

A ten-second kill? Do you think you're a Third Advancement practitioner!

"Is this for real?"

After a brief moment of shock, Yan Lingtian was trembling with excitement, his eyes fixed firmly on Li Yao.

"Once a life-and-death pact is signed, can it be faked?"

Li Yao glanced at the remaining time on 【Shackles】.

Just now, throwing the opponent out of the arena and stomping out the Flame Lion skill—these actions could not be accomplished with his own pathetic strength attribute alone!

As for the previous claim that Yan Lingtian used his skill first,

【Shackles】 is a status-type skill.

So what if it wasn't turned off? It was already active.

【Shackles】 still had over ten minutes left, which was more than enough.

"Good!"

Yang Jianliang suddenly spoke up, saying eagerly, "Since the two of you have reached an agreement, let me help you prepare the life-and-death pact."

Li Yao glanced at him: "Hmm."

"Hurry, hurry!" Yan Lingtian was even more impatient, fearing Li Yao might go back on his word.

At this moment, Xue Jiuling, having regained her senses, frowned and said in a deep voice,

"Li Yao, are you truly certain?"

"If you back out now, out of respect for the Dean, no one will dare to make things difficult for you. Once the life-and-death pact is signed..."

Xue Jiuling felt somewhat displeased.

Could it be that he is acting recklessly just because he has the Dean's backing?

She said impatiently, "That's enough. Leave the rest to me to handle."

Li Yao saw through her thoughts but had no intention of explaining.

If Yan Lingtian hadn't jumped out, he could have spared him for the sake of Senior Xue.

Since he jumped out, he has no one else to blame.

Soon,

Yang Jianliang returned in a hurry, not only bringing two documents but also placing a bottle of a potion the Yang family was currently selling hot into his storage ring.

Yang Jianliang handed one document to Li Yao.

While Li Yao was flipping through it, he leaned over to Yan Lingtian's side.

While handing over the life-and-death pact, he placed the potion into Yan Lingtian's hand and lowered his voice: "This is Thick Earth Potion; it can increase your stamina by two hundred points within twenty seconds."

Yan Lingtian's eyes lit up, and he gripped the potion in his hand.

By this time, Li Yao had already signed his name on the life-and-death pact.

Their little movements naturally could not escape Li Yao's eyes.

When the potion appeared, he had already used Appraisal. Never mind two hundred stamina points—even if it were two thousand, he was absolutely certain he could kill him!

At this moment, Yan Lingtian also signed his name on the life-and-death pact.

"Since both of you have signed the life-and-death pact, life or death is up to fate, and no one may intervene!"

Yang Jianliang glanced at Xue Jiuling and said in a loud voice.

Xue Jiuling folded her arms, clearly not intending to interfere.

Yang Jianliang asked, "This is not a place for battle. Why don't the two of you accompany me to the Star Net Arena?"

Li Yao said indifferently, "It's a ten-second affair; there's no need for such trouble."

Yan Lingtian laughed, "Hahaha! I think so too."

Then, in front of everyone, he swallowed the potion in one gulp.

Among the practitioners, someone recognized the bottle.

"The Yang family alchemist's signature potion, Thick Earth Potion!?"

"Isn't this bullying? Two hundred stamina points is equivalent to the bonus of a Dark Gold piece of equipment. Although it only lasts twenty seconds, the bet is only for ten seconds!"

"So what? You don't think Li Yao could kill Yan Lingtian in ten seconds without this potion, do you?"

"If you ask me, this potion is Yan Lingtian leaving Li Yao some face. When the ten seconds are up, Li Yao can still blame the potion."

"The life-and-death pact is signed; Li Yao is completely doomed now."

"No! Why does Li Yao still look so confident? Could it be that he really might..."

"There really are idiots! I'll put it this way: if Li Yao can kill Yan Lingtian in ten seconds, I'll do a handstand and crap!"

As the crowd sneered, the Thick Earth Potion slowly took effect.

Yan Lingtian stared at Li Yao with an arrogant expression.

"How about it, shall we start?"

"Good."

Li Yao replied, and Yang Jianliang watched his watch and began the countdown.

"10!"

A purple mouse appeared before everyone's eyes, its whole body turning into lightning as it shot directly toward Yan Lingtian.

"So fast! Can't block it!" Yan Lingtian's face changed drastically.

In the blink of an eye, the mouse appeared by his side.

Besides the Immortal Thunder Mouse, Li Yao had only summoned the Void Mantis.

【Distance is Like a Neighbor】 took effect.

The Immortal Thunder Mouse's speed instantly soared to four thousand!

When the Immortal Thunder Mouse appeared before Yan Lingtian, Yang Jianliang had a bad premonition and said with a trembling voice,

"9!"

The next second,

A violent surge of thunder intent erupted!

Yang Jianliang's face changed in shock; ignoring the rules, he shouted angrily, "Quick! Use your invincibility skill!"

Facing this terrifying thundercloud, Yan Lingtian felt a chill rush straight to his crown.

Almost instinctively, he activated his invincibility skill.

"Boom!"

The thunder struck a white light.
