"Ironwood Manor?" Hearing this, even Xie Qian was stunned. Ironwood Manor is rich in a very special and valuable ironwood. Even for the Lei family, it is a considerable industry. This Lei Bao actually dared to put the entire manor on the line!
Of course, Xie Qian was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure. After all, in his opinion, the odds of the Lei family winning this bet were simply too high.
"Father, forget it. We don't need to take any risks." Behind Lin Zhentian, Lincoln, Lin Xiao, and Lin Mang all looked hesitant. After a long struggle, Lincoln finally gritted his teeth and persuaded them. Throwing away the Fire Python Tiger cub for that bet would be too much of a loss.
"You have a point, but I choose to accept!" Under the stunned gazes of Lincoln and the others, Lin Zhentian confidently agreed. "One of my favorite things to do, Lin Zhentian, is to say 'yes' to those who think they have a sure win."
The sudden change brought a hush to the entire Beast Horn Arena, and then a stream of doubtful glances turned towards Lin Zhentian.
"Father, don't act on impulse!" Lin Xiao was also startled by Lin Zhentian. Lin Mang and the others beside him frowned, puzzled as to how their usually calm father could fall so easily for such a provocation.
"Trust me, and trust Dong'er and Changqiang, too." Facing the skeptical glances, Lin Zhentian stroked his beard, speaking with a relaxed smile.
"Hehe, Lin Zhentian, I can't believe you still have some of that sharpness from back then. I'm truly impressed." Seeing Lin Zhentian agree so readily, Lei Bao felt a tinge of unease. But as the head of the Lei family, words spoken were like spilled water; how could he easily go back on his word? Wouldn't that be a joke? "My Lei family has decided to send Lei Li. Has your Lin family decided who to send?"
"I'll do it." Lin Changqiang slowly entered the arena, a bright smile on his face. The curve of his lips wasn't half as sharp as the Nike God of War's, but it still made Lei Li, facing him, feel uncertain.
The other contestants on the stone platform also consciously stepped back, leaving a large area clear. The referee, who had just checked the number of ID cards, also entered the arena to officiate this match.
Lei Li snapped his fingers, glaring at Lin Changqiang with a sinister expression, his eyes filled with disdain. "Is the Lin family completely deserted? They've sent a ninth-level Body Tempering Realm warrior to challenge us? I'll make your defeat even more complete!"
Despite Lei Li's threat, Lin Changqiang silently swapped his equipment slots for two Thunder Blades (which increase his Yuanli and punch and kick power by 6%) and nodded nonchalantly. "Ah, yes, yes, you're right."
"Begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Li snorted coldly, and a rich luster began to flicker across his body. This level of Yuanli fluctuations was clearly beyond the reach of a ninth-level Body Tempering Realm warrior.
"He's truly at the Earth Yuanli Realm!" Upon seeing the Yuanli radiance emanating from Lei Li, gasps rang out from the Beast Horn Arena, and a smug smile spread across Lei Bao's face.
However, his smile froze in an instant as he saw Lin Changqiang's body also begin to glow with a rich luster, even more intense than Lei Li's!
"Mid-Earth Origin Realm! How is that even possible?!"
As the Yuan Energy surged around Lin Changqiang, the entire Beast Horn Arena erupted in an uproar, with nearly everyone's eyes filled with shock!
While they were somewhat impressed by Lei Li's Earth Origin Realm status, they weren't surprised. After all, Lei Li had already reached the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm six months prior, so a breakthrough to the Earth Origin Realm was perfectly normal.
However, no one had expected that Lin Changqiang, who had only just made his mark six months earlier, would actually reach the Earth Origin Realm, and even surpass it!
In the Lin family's audience, Lin Xiao and the others were stunned. Even Lin Zhentian, who had been prepared, was stunned. "Didn't these two kids just reach the Earth Origin Realm a dozen days ago?"
"These two? So Lin Dong has also reached the Earth Origin Realm?" Lincoln and Lin Mang swallowed, simultaneously glancing at Lin Xiao behind them.
"This... I don't know!" Facing their gazes, Lin Xiao was also bewildered.
Lin Hong and other younger members of the Lin family opened their mouths wide, with a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.

Not far away, Lei Bao sat down with a sullen expression, murderous intent blazing in his eyes. Lin Changqiang's training speed filled him with a deep-seated fear. If
this man wasn't eliminated, there would be endless trouble!
"Impossible!" Lei Li's face was grim as he suddenly leaped forward and charged at Lin Changqiang. His palms curved into a strange arc, like a venomous snake's head. Combined with the amplification of his energy, his palms slashed through the air with a gust of wind-breaking sound.
"Second-grade Spirit Snake Palm?" Lin Changqiang raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Alas, I'm not Lin Dong. I'm not interested in playing some simple-to-profound trick with you." "
Flame Whirlpool!" Lin Changqiang formed the Yin Seal with both hands and chanted the name of his move, adapting to the local custom.
As Lei Li reached a short distance from Lin Changqiang, he saw a vortex of flames rise from beneath his feet. Then, a piercing burning pain made him grimace.
"Ah!"
he cried out, stepping back hastily. But when he looked back at Lin Changqiang, he saw he had already raised his right hand!
"While this attack has a wide range, its speed is average and its accuracy is extremely poor. It's dodged!" Lei Li's eyes flashed, and he stared intently ahead.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Five explosions erupted instantly. Before Lei Li could react, he was blown back like a kite with a broken string, landing heavily on the ground.
A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out, and Lei Li froze in his tracks. Only when he noticed Lin Changqiang approaching did he struggle to push himself up, but he failed. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Changqiang approached him.
Lei Li stared up at Lin Changqiang helplessly, but perhaps due to his severe injuries, he couldn't see clearly. In the end, he only heard the other party mutter something like, "Fortunately, I stopped in time," before his vision went black and he fell into a coma.
As Lei Li was quickly defeated, the entire venue fell silent in an instant, and the people from the Lei and Xie families were in deep sorrow. Every look was filled with deep shock as they stared at the embarrassed Lei Li.
This outcome was beyond everyone's expectations. No one had expected that Lei Li, known as the best young man in Qingyang Town, would be defeated so easily by Lin Changqiang.
"He won just like that?"
Even Lin Dong and Lin Zhentian, who had been prepared for this, were shocked. Lin Dong thought that even if Lin Changqiang won, he would have to fight hard, and Lin Zhentian even thought it would be a tough fight.
"This kind of talent is definitely not something that can be found easily..." Lin Zhentian quickly took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat.
Lincoln and the others beside him nodded in agreement. Even Lin Mang, who had previously been unhappy with Lin Changqiang, was speechless. He knew that Lin Hong would never be able to catch up.
Compared to the Lin family's surprise and joy, the Lei and Xie families were completely silent. Lei Bao's face was gloomy, and Xie Qian could only smile bitterly, secretly thankful that he hadn't participated in the gambling fight.
This time, the Lei family not only lost Tiemu Manor, but also received a resounding slap in the face from the Lin family. It was a complete loss of face!
