Chapter 915 Defamation and Doubt
Everything was quiet!
Thousands of cultivators were silent at the moment.
Everyone was looking at Lin Mu standing on the stage, speechless.
This was too fast!
The battle had just begun, and the winner was decided in an instant.
It was so fast that people were caught off guard.
Surprise, confusion, inexplicable, all kinds of emotions appeared on the faces of every cultivator.
"Lin Mu actually won!" A cultivator in the Return to Void Stage couldn't help but exclaimed, breaking the silence.
"Didn't his strength drop sharply?" A cultivator immediately followed.
"Jin Hao seemed to be greatly restricted in his battle with him, and his strength was not fully exerted."
The cultivators talked about it, feeling strange and inexplicable.
Gu Zhenhao was very happy.
Lin Mu really did what he said and kept his word.
He really defeated Jin Hao, and won so cleanly and neatly, which was very gratifying.
This time, Lin Mu's strength declined, and his opponent's strength was far superior to his previous opponent. Almost 99% of the cultivators were not optimistic about Lin Mu's victory, so the number of cultivators betting with him was significantly greater than before.
More than ten fusion stage cultivators couldn't help but bet with him.
There were two fusion stage cultivators who had some grudges with him on weekdays, and each of them bet 300 million spirit stones!
All in all, the spirit stones bet by all the cultivators added up to nearly 10 billion spirit stones!
If Lin Mu lost, he would really go bankrupt if he had to pay ten times the compensation.
Fortunately, Lin Mu won again this time, which was beyond everyone's expectations!
Even many fusion stage cultivators were confused and couldn't see how Lin Mu won.
Some of the cultivators who lost the spirit stones were very unwilling to accept it. They pointed at Lin Mu and Jin Hao on the stage and shouted, "They must have done it on purpose. Jin Hao's cultivation is already in the late stage of fusion. How could he be so vulnerable? They must have discussed it beforehand. The two of them acted according to the situation and let Lin Mu win in the end!"
One person took the lead, and someone immediately echoed, "Yes! It's just that the two of them were so absent-minded even when acting, and people could see through them at a glance. Whether it was Lin Mu or Jin Hao, they were unscathed. Is it so easy for masters to fight?"
"Lin Mu released a few bright beads, flashed a few times, and wanted to fool us!" Some cultivators shouted indignantly, but they did not step forward and hid in the crowd.
They still had a deep fear of Gu Zhenhao and did not dare to face him directly.
Gu Zhenhao heard this and suddenly became angry.
He was willing to accept the loss.
He did not force anyone to gamble with him. It was these cultivators who saw the high odds and couldn't help but gamble with him.
In the end, he lost the bet, but now he wants to cheat.
He actually brought the trouble to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu kept detonating the Thunder Yuan Pearl, and he could also restrain Jin Hao. It is obvious that this is a very rare and precious treasure.
After spending such a huge price to defeat Jin Hao, he was actually said to be acting with Jin Hao.
Not to mention that Lin Mu would be unhappy after leaving the battle stage.
He is also extremely unhappy now.
"Who said this?" Gu Zhenhao was very angry. Looking at the place where the voice came from, he said loudly, "Do you dare to stand up and tell me?"
Gu Zhenhao tried his best to suppress his anger and did not explode immediately.
He also took a huge risk to earn these spirit stones. If Lin Mu really lost, he would lose everything and have nothing!
Now that he has finally earned nearly 10 billion spirit stones, these cultivators still want to take it back. There is no way!
Gu Zhenhao was angry, and the shouting in the crowd disappeared immediately.
However, many cultivators have begun to believe this statement.
If this is really possible, Lin Mu and Jin Hao are deliberately acting, and the two have agreed to let Lin Mu win.
Otherwise, everything is too incredible and obviously contrary to common sense.
How can Lin Mu, whose strength has obviously declined, defeat Jin Hao, who is in the late stage of fusion?
Even if he can defeat him, it must be a bloody fight. The two will fight to the end and both will be injured. This will be more exciting and convincing.
But how did Lin Mu win?
On the battle stage, he released a few beads, and after detonating them, Jin Hao flew to the bottom of the battle stage by himself.
This is too obviously fake!
Many cultivators looked at Gu Zhenhao at the same time.
Even several cultivators in the fusion stage began to have doubts and flickered when they looked at Gu Zhenhao.
Gu Zhenhao had a clear conscience, but the cultivators around him looked at him like this. If he said nothing, he might be able to leave safely this time, but it would undoubtedly leave hidden dangers for the future.
This was also a great damage to Lin Mu's reputation.
"Listen to me, everyone." Gu Zhenhao looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Lin Mu and Jin Hao are definitely not acting, I can guarantee this with my life!"
"How do you know they are not acting?" A voice immediately rang out in the crowd, "Obviously you are in the same group with them! Of course you will speak for Lin Mu!"
Gu Zhenhao's face was calm, and he immediately replied: "It's just a few billion spirit stones. Do you think Lin Mu and Jin Hao would act for such a small amount of spirit stones? If Jin Hao wins, he may be able to obtain one or two more mineral veins! How many spirit stones can be earned from a mineral vein in a hundred years? I don't need to tell you, right?"
"How much do I have to pay to convince Jin Hao to admit defeat?" Gu Zhenhao said with a smile, "I will give all these billions of spirit stones to Jin Hao, but Jin Hao will not agree? I can't pay for it myself and give him extra spirit stones, right? It's a loss, and it's something that takes effort, who would do it?"
"You said that Lin Mu and Jin Hao were acting deliberately, don't you have any ability to distinguish and think?" Gu Zhenhao smiled and said sarcastically.
Who would do anything without benefits and advantages?
The mineral vein competition conference is held only once a hundred years. Who would easily admit defeat after going through so much hardship to become the top sixteen?
These cultivators are really sick in the brain!
But then again, if it weren't for the interests, no one would secretly instigate and say such things.
Spiritual stones are indeed the source of evil.
Gu Zhenhao secretly decided not to gamble with others anymore.
It was too much trouble.
Lin Mu's strength was too amazing, and every time he won, it was so incredible.
Not to mention these cultivators who lost spiritual stones, even he was puzzled.
His cultivation level was declining sharply, but he could still easily defeat Jin Hao in the late stage of fusion. Is there any suspense in the subsequent competition?
Who can still defeat Lin Mu?
He stopped gambling with others, but he had no choice.
These cultivators were all smart people, and they lost spiritual stones one after another. Now that Lin Mu was so powerful, they would definitely not gamble with him again.
Adding up everything, he made about 10 billion or 20 billion spiritual stones.
This was really an unexpected windfall!
For him, it was a huge fortune.
Even though he has not really followed Lin Mu to make the Blue Star Jade Slip, he has earned 10 to 20 billion spirit stones. In the future, he will make jade slips. A Blue Star Jade Slip will be sold for tens of millions of spirit stones. Isn't it a huge profit and a peak in life!
Gu Zhenhao was a little excited when he thought about it.
The white-clothed elder opened the ancient ban and announced the result of the competition.
Lin Mu ignored Jin Hao, who was unwilling and resentful in his eyes, and flew down the battle stage.
Xu Jiao and Hua Jin, the sisters Xing Qing and Xing Yu, came from the distant Qianjin City without any effort to cheer him up. This affection made him feel warm in his heart.
Even if his cultivation level dropped to the Condensation Stage, he would try his best to win.
Defeating Jin Hao in this battle was the best gift.
For him, this battle also gave him a lot of confidence.
Becoming the top ten is no longer a luxury!
