Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Yang Xuantian considered that, when facing Feng Tan, he had a fair chance of winning.

Secondly, He Beiyi was also an experienced Core Formation Middle Stage cultivator, with considerable strength, whereas Qi Chuan had just broken through to the Core Formation Middle Stage not long ago, so he was likely not a match for the former.

Therefore, after some discussion, the two eventually agreed to the duel.

However, agreeing to the duel didn’t mean the final distribution method wouldn’t see some changes.

Firstly, the result would determine that the winner takes all and the loser receives nothing.

Secondly, the loser would also receive a portion of the rewards, perhaps twenty or thirty percent, etc.

Thirdly, the distribution would be flexible according to the performance of both parties in the duel, which could vary greatly, and could not be generalized.

"The specifics of the distribution..." Feng Tan pondered upon Yang Xuantian’s inquiry, but in truth, he was transmitting his voice to Qi Chuan, explaining the situation and then asked Qi Chuan, "Junior Brother Qi Chuan, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan confidently transmitted his voice back, "Senior Brother Feng Tan, just choose the winner-takes-all approach. Trust me, we will definitely win."

Feng Tan was quite surprised by Qi Chuan’s words; he hadn’t expected Qi Chuan to have such confidence.

However, since Qi Chuan had now advanced to the Core Formation Middle Stage Realm, and had such impressive achievements in the past Three Sects competition, combined with his reputation for never boasting, Feng Tan hesitated for a moment but decided to trust Qi Chuan.

"Why don’t we keep it straightforward? The winner takes all, how does Fellow Daoist Yang feel about this?" Feng Tan said to Yang Xuantian.

"Winner takes all?" Hearing this, Yang Xuantian furrowed his brows.

Truth be told, even though he thought he had an advantage over Feng Tan in magical combat and He Beiyi also had an advantage over Qi Chuan, he actually wasn’t planning to opt for the winner-takes-all distribution method.

Firstly, it was too extreme.

These Tier Three Ruins were initially discovered by Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, while Yin Yang Mansion arrived later; leaving no reward for Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect wouldn’t be very appropriate.

Secondly, despite Yang Xuantian’s arrogant appearance, he actually conducted himself with caution.

Though he currently held some advantage, he couldn’t guarantee that unforeseen circumstances wouldn’t arise; hence, for safety’s sake, he leaned more towards a fifty-fifty or sixty-four division.

This way, regardless of which side lost, it would be acceptable as the disparity was at most only twenty percent.

But the winner-takes-all method was different.

No matter which side lost, it would likely be unacceptable.

Also, the losing side would have a hard time explaining to the Sect Leader upon returning to their sect.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, are you truly set on this decision?" Yang Xuantian said, frowning.

"Certainly." Feng Tan nodded; since he was already set in his heart, he wouldn’t hesitate further.

Hearing Feng Tan’s confirmation, Yang Xuantian did not speak immediately.

If he were to engage in magical combat with Feng Tan, he believed he would likely win, considering last time, Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect chose Hu Tianying for the Three Sects competition.

Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect’s choice of Hu Tianying indicated he was the strongest Core Formation Middle Stage True Master within their sect, stronger than Feng Tan.

And Yang Xuantian was stronger than Hu Tianying; losing to Feng Tan wouldn’t make sense.

The real variable was Qi Chuan.

Qi Chuan had previously shown astonishing magical combat power in the Three Sects competition while at the Core Formation Early Stage, defeating two top-notch Core Formation Early Stage cultivators, Qing Jianzi and Song Dan, with one against two. It couldn’t be ruled out that, after advancing to the Core Formation Middle Stage, he could still demonstrate strong magical combat power and defeat He Beiyi.

"Junior Brother He, what do you think?" Yang Xuantian transmitted his voice to He Beiyi, inquiring further.

"Senior Brother Yang, rest assured. I’ve recently refined a new Divine Technique, further increasing my strength. I won’t be inferior to this Qi Chuan. Since they’ve chosen the winner-takes-all distribution method, they should bear the consequence of no reward." He Beiyi transmitted back, his tone equally confident.

Hearing He Beiyi’s words, Yang Xuantian nodded silently, his mind more settled.

He Beiyi’s strength wasn’t weak initially, and now it had further increased with a new Divine Technique, giving him even greater advantage over Qi Chuan.

Yang Xuantian didn’t quite believe that Qi Chuan could be so formidable, just having advanced to the Core Formation Middle Stage and dominating this realm. If Qi Chuan had stayed in the Core Formation Middle Stage for a while, he might consider Qi Chuan’s past achievements cautiously.

Moreover, even if He Beiyi lost, he still had Yang Xuantian as backup.

It’s not the situation of the Three Sects competition, not absolute one-on-one magical combat.

"Since Fellow Daoist Feng Tan is so confident, then I, Yang, will go along with Fellow Daoist Feng Tan’s intention." Yang Xuantian looked at Feng Tan, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said.

"Good, then let’s have our match here." Feng Tan shouted lowly, his mouth opening, releasing a ray of magical treasure light.

The magical treasure was a small white fan.

As soon as it appeared, it grew with the wind, transforming into three people’s height, held in Feng Tan’s hand, wielded heavily towards Yang Xuantian in the distance.

Whoosh!

Immediately, a gigantic icy tornado swept out, blowing towards Yang Xuantian.
