Chen Youbin, at the mid-stage of the second level of Qi Refining, was undoubtedly killed instantly by Shen Rugo in one move.

However, with Zhang Shiduo's promise, the remaining disciples perked up.

As soon as Chen Youbin jumped off the stage, the next person rushed up to him.

After watching for a while, everyone had learned from experience that the more ruthless the attack, the heavier the counterattack from Shen Rugo.

Anyway, none of them are a match for Shen Rugo, so they can just go through the motions.

One, two, three, and soon the last few disciples were all defeated by Shen Rugo.

"Little Duozi, I'm so sorry, your family gave me so many spirit stones, more than 300,000 in total. I'm really grateful to you, Senior Sister!"

Seeing the pile of spirit stone bags in the middle of the arena, Shen Rugo plopped down on one and opened it as she spoke.

Upon hearing her words, Zhang Shiduo nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He glared fiercely at the dozen or so disciples, his eyes filled with resentment and venom.

The dozen or so disciples immediately shivered.

"You little punk, trying to play with me? Do you even know what the Thirty-Six Stratagems are? Do you even know what the strategy of sowing discord is?"

Shen Rugo sneered inwardly.

Based on just this one sentence, she was certain that these young disciples had become estranged from Zhang Shiduo, and would avoid him whenever they saw him in the future.

After the challenges below the arena were over, Elder Zhou looked at Shen Rugo sitting on the pile of spirit stones, who was immersed in the pleasure of counting spirit stones, and was a little dazed.

Is this child really only at the second level of Qi Refining?

When has their Star Palace ever produced a Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator with such strong combat power?

"My little darling, how come you're getting stronger and stronger? Don't get too cocky and ruin the show!"

Qinghe Daoist and Xingchen Daoist were extremely worried, their hearts pounding in their throats.

"One yuan, two yuan, three yuan... seven yuan, eight yuan, nine yuan..."

In the silence, only Shen Rugo's clear, childlike voice rang out.

The hundreds of thousands of people in the audience were completely surprised by this scene, and for a moment, they were all silent.

Not only were everyone in the Star Palace shocked by Shen Rugo, but even the cultivators who had come from afar watched with great interest as Shen Rugo counted spirit stones.

"Elder Zhou, there are still eight bets left from yesterday, let's proceed as soon as possible."

Once all the bets have been settled, the challenge will be over!

After the challenge, it's time for our main event: the bet between Shen Rugo and Zhang Shiduo!

Suddenly, the voice of the Star Daoist rang out.

However, everyone could hear the barely concealed excitement and exhilaration in his voice.

"This sect leader of the Star Palace is supposed to be a Nascent Soul cultivator, how can he be so impatient?"

"Is it just because we took in that weirdo Shen Rugo this year?"

Many people couldn't help but look at Xingchen Daoren.

"Now, which of you eight will go first to challenge Shen Rugo?"

Reprimanded by the sect leader, Elder Zhou hurriedly looked at the ten people, including Qian Youdao, standing on one side of the arena.

Of these ten people, only Shui Rou and another disciple at the third level of Qi Refining did not challenge Shen Rugo; the other eight all issued challenge letters.

The eight people looked at each other, and finally all their eyes settled on a disciple at the second level of Qi Refining, who was the weakest among them.

Why are you all looking at me?

The disciple almost jumped up.

At least he's now in the top ten, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should receive a reward from the sect.

He didn't want to be the first to be defeated by Shen Rugo and drop out of the top ten.

"Stop talking so much nonsense. You go first, then the other four."

"You few at the second level of Qi Refining aren't going to lead the charge, so you want us at the third and fourth levels to go first?"

Qian Youdao shouted from the side.

"But, but I'm afraid I'll lose Senior Brother Zhang's spirit stones again!"

The disciple said timidly.

He bet 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.

"Does that mean that if we, the two at the third level of Qi Refining, and Zhao Dayou, the fourth level of Qi Refining, lose, you won't go on stage, you won't lose, and you won't pay out spirit stones?"

Without a second thought, Qian Youdao roared loudly.

"idiot!"

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Dayou and another Qi Refining Level 3 disciple simultaneously shouted insults.

Everyone else burst into laughter.

Although Qian Youdao is quite talented, he's not very bright.

"Little Daozi, you really had foresight, knowing that all of you would lose to me. I give you a thumbs up."

Shen Rugo, who was counting spirit stones, hurriedly turned around and gave Qian Youdao a thumbs up.

"I, that's not what I meant!"

Qian Youdao then came to his senses and shouted.

“Senior Brother Qian, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that if you go first and defeat Shen Rugo, then we won’t have to give her any more spirit stones.”

The disciple almost burst out laughing and quickly explained.

"This junior brother is very clever, but we signed and sealed the agreement. Do you think you can get away with it?"

In my eyes, you're worth twenty thousand spirit stones! Even if you're on your last breath, I won't let you go!

Shen Rugo suddenly revealed her snow-white teeth and grinned at the disciple.

The disciple shrank back in fright.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"The challenge is about fairness; no one can try to take shortcuts. We'll start with the lowest level, and Zhao Dayou will be the last one to finish."

If you don't play for even a single breath, you automatically concede defeat!

Suddenly, the Star Daoist issued another decree.

It's past noon now, and the competition hasn't even started yet.

Shen Rugo had instructed them beforehand that they must obtain all the cultivators' spirit stones before nightfall.

Moreover, Shen Rugo's intention was quite clear: to win all the spirit stones from everyone who had signed the bet with her, and then lose them to Zhao Dayou, in order to solidify the confidence of all cultivators and encourage them to bet on Zhang Shiduo.

The Star Daoist was ready. After Shen Rugo and the others finished their challenge, he would personally take the stage and give a passionate speech, encouraging everyone to bet all their spirit stones.

Shen Rugo had prepared a speech for him beforehand, and he had secretly rehearsed it countless times. He was eager to try it out and couldn't wait.

The speech was so well-written, every sentence was inspiring, and it was a speech he had never seen before.

Shen Rugo's plan was flawless, and he had to execute it perfectly.

Now, the most important thing is to seize the time and push the pace to a climax.

"The challenge begins. If you can't catch your breath, you automatically surrender!"

Elder Zhou had no idea what his sect leader was up to, or why he was helping Shen Rugo in every way.

However, he must strictly carry out the sect leader's decree.

As his voice faded, the disciple had no choice but to step forward.

"Give me the spirit stones first!"

Shen Rugo immediately jumped down from the pile of spirit stone bags and reached out her hand to Zhang Zhihao below the stage.
