Upon hearing this, almost everyone burst out laughing.

However, thinking of their bets, they all started urging each other on loudly.

"Zhang Shiduo, make your move quickly!"

"Zhang Shiduo, stop playing dumb!"

"Make your move, Zhang Shiduo!"

"Make your move, Zhang Shiduo!"

……

Urging voices rose and fell in waves.

"Son, no! Give up now!"

At this moment, Zhang Zhihao also noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Shiduo and shouted desperately.

But his voice was drowned out by the shouts of the crowd.

The wages of avarice is death.

For cultivators, spirit stones are paramount.

Without spirit stones, don't even talk about cultivation.

As for the younger disciples like Wang Chunming and Zhao Dayou, they all felt like they were dreaming when they looked at Zhang Shiduo and Shen Rugo on the stage.

They now realized that Shen Rugo had been playing along with them all along, just trying to win their spirit stones, and hadn't been serious at all.

Don't say that she was originally at the second level of Qi Refining.

Someone at the third level of Qi Refining can easily defeat someone at the fifth level. Someone at the second level of Qi Refining can easily beat someone at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining.

"me……"

Zhang Shiduo is now truly afraid; he really wants to surrender and admit defeat.

Although Wang Wu and Zhou Liu didn't tell him about the backlash from Hellfire, he now knew that it was a forbidden technique, and that the attack had drained all his life essence.

He really didn't want to use it a second time, fearing he would be crippled afterward.

"Stop 'I'm not saying that, Xiao Duozi. Didn't you see everyone down there eagerly waiting for you to make your move? They all want to see your amazing magic again."

"Hurry up, the sooner we finish, the better!"

With the sun about to set, Shen Rugo just wanted to finish as soon as possible so she could divide the spoils.

"Zhang Shiduo, make your move!"

"Zhang Shiduo, make your move!"

The shouts from the audience grew louder and louder, and were perfectly synchronized.

Everyone could see that Zhang Shiduo was scared and wanted to admit defeat, which drove everyone crazy.

Three to four hundred thousand people shouted in unison, creating an astonishing spectacle.

"No, my son, admit defeat! Admit defeat now, and please don't fight anymore!"

Suddenly, a hysterical scream rang out, and a figure leaped up and rushed toward the arena.

It was Zhang Zhihao.

"Damn it, if he doesn't fight, what will happen to our spirit stones? Can you afford to compensate us?"

Someone rushed over and kicked Zhang Zhihao in the face, sending him tumbling backward.

"I'll compensate you with spirit stones, please, please spare my son! He really can't be hit anymore!"

Zhang Zhihao wailed loudly, saying that no matter how good the spirit stone was, it was not as important as his son.

"Not fight? How is that possible? Can you afford to compensate us for all the spirit stones we've collected?"

"Grab him and stuff the sock into his mouth!"

"Zhang Shiduo, don't just stand there, make your move quickly. If you win, you'll become the Starry Sky Sect Master's personal disciple, a future Golden Core cultivator with limitless potential."

Otherwise, you won't be leaving the ring today!

The crowd tied Zhang Zhihao up, stuffing socks into his mouth while shouting loudly at Zhang Shiduo on the stage.

"No, please don't make things difficult for him, I, I..."

Zhang Shiduo was only a teenager and had never seen anything like this before; he was almost scared to tears.

"What do you mean 'I'? We have to fight! Otherwise, none of us will let your father or you off the hook. Who told you to challenge them, you useless idiot!"

A tall, burly cultivator lifted Zhang Zhihao up and swung him viciously at Zhang Shiduo on the arena.

Many rogue cultivators gasped in shock upon seeing that tall man.

Everyone recognizes this person; he's also a rogue cultivator, at the late Golden Core stage. However, he's always been ruthless and has committed countless murders and robberies.

Although the spirit stones in his hand were not comparable to those of cultivation families or sects, they were definitely no less than 80,000 top-grade spirit stones.

It seems he's betting everything this time.

How could this be?

Even Shen Rugo on the stage was somewhat surprised, staring blankly at the scene below.

"This is the Star Palace; no one is allowed to act recklessly."

At this moment, a voice sounded.

Suddenly, the tall man was shot into the air and fell hundreds of feet away, while Zhang Zhihao also fell down.

At this moment, a Taoist priest in a green robe appeared in the air; he was none other than the Star Palace's law enforcement elder.

"Don't let him go, catch him!"

No sooner had Zhang Zhihao landed than he was pounced on and grabbed by several people.

"Our outer disciple competition is open to all fellow Daoists from all directions. However, within our Star Palace, no one is allowed to cause trouble. Otherwise, don't blame us for taking action!"

At this moment, another thunderous sound came from the sky, making everyone's ears ring. It was the shout of the Star Daoist.

"Sect Leader Xingchen, we will naturally not cause trouble, but Xingchen Palace cannot bully others by abusing its power."

After all, we've staked all our spirit stones on this; we need a result.

Someone stepped forward and said.

"Our Star Palace will act according to the rules, but no one is allowed to cause trouble!"

The Star Daoist's voice softened considerably, but it was still incredibly imposing!

Now, everyone quieted down and stared intently at Zhang Shiduo on the stage.

"You, do you still want to fight? Or do you just admit defeat...?"

At this moment, Elder Bao on the arena was also completely dumbfounded.

He hadn't expected things to develop this way, especially the excited state of the hundreds of thousands of people in the audience; even he was frightened.

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone below shouted, "I protest! The referee is unfair! The referee is trying to induce the contestants to surrender!"

"Yes, get that referee off the stage!"

Everyone could see that Zhang Shiduo was practicing forbidden magic, and if he used it at full power, there might actually be a chance of winning by sheer luck.

As long as Zhang Shiduo wins, everyone will be happy.

As for the final backlash, they didn't care at all; even if Zhang Shiduo died, it wouldn't concern them.

The commotion made Elder Bao's face turn ugly.

"Elder Bao, stop trying to protect him. You should work on his mindset and get him to make a move as soon as possible."

"Maybe he'll actually defeat me and become the sect leader's personal disciple after this one move?"

Shen Rugo didn't have a good impression of Elder Bao. At first, he wouldn't even look at her properly and kept flattering Zhang Shiduo.

"He became the sect leader's personal disciple?"

Elder Bao blushed; he could hear the sarcasm in Shen Rugo's voice.

"Yes, didn't you think highly of him?"

"I, I..."

Zhang Shiduo, hurry up and make your move, or you'll be declared the loser!

After stammering for a while, Elder Bao suddenly shouted at Zhang Shiduo.
