Li Zhi did not hold any official position, he was just an ordinary person.
Letting him teach Xiao Chen a lesson was very fitting.
Thus, the King of Bohai began to arrange it.
He invited Xiao Chen to a feast.
The feast was held at the official hotel.
To show his respect for the Dragon Country War God, the King of Bohai arranged Xiao Chen's seat next to his own.
Ghost Blade and Yunmeng Xiang sat beside Xiao Chen.
Yunmeng Xiang was one of the Five Tiger Divine Generals of the Dragon Country.
Though Ghost Blade had no official status, he came with Xiao Chen, so he could not be slighted.
In the grand hotel, glasses clinked and dishes were passed around.
There were plenty of fine wines and delicious dishes.
They even prepared song and dance performances.
Xiao Chen shook his head secretly.
This Bohai Nation, with half of its land occupied by others, still had the mood to eat, drink, and have fun here?
Really don't know what they're thinking.
"Xiao War God, how do you find the beauties of Bohai Nation?"
The King of Bohai asked with a smile.
He did not know how many times he imagined killing Xiao Chen in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained a friendly smile.
There was no trace of hatred to be seen.
"Not bad."
Xiao Chen said casually; if others aren't nervous, why should he be?
It must be said, the beauties of Bohai Nation indeed had a unique exotic charm, but Xiao Chen had seen many beauties and only liked Jiang Meng.
To him, these women were merely lovely skeletons posing alluringly.
The song and dance ended.
An old man stood up from his seat and said to Xiao Chen, "Xiao War God, I hear your martial arts are superb, and your skills are remarkable. I wonder if you could spar with this old man?"
Here it comes!
Xiao Chen thought with a hidden smile. Before coming to Bohai Nation, he had researched it thoroughly.
He naturally knew this old man's identity.
"You? Not qualified."
Xiao Chen said casually.
What!
The old man's face instantly became very ugly.
To be dismissed so lightly was simply outrageous.
"Xiao War God, this man is the Family Head of the Li Family in our Bohai Nation's Ancient Clan, very powerful, arguably the number one expert in our Bohai Nation."
The King of Bohai specifically introduced him.
The implication seemed to be that Xiao Chen's arrogance was because he didn't know Li Zhi.
"I know."
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "If he's really that powerful, why hasn't he driven the Beihai Nation's army out of Bohai Nation?"
The King of Bohai was speechless.
Xiao Chen's words were just too straightforward.
Not at all sugarcoated, making people quite uncomfortable.
"Enough nonsense, do you dare to compete with me or not!"
Li Zhi was too lazy to waste words and asked directly.
Xiao Chen glanced at Li Zhi and then said to Ghost Blade beside him, "You go, it's good to spar with a master; it can motivate you."
Actually, Li Zhi was indeed not weak; Ghost Blade might not be his match.
But this was also an opportunity, just right for Ghost Blade to get some training.
"Yes!"
Ghost Blade stepped into the arena, and everyone made way.
In the center, Ghost Blade and Li Zhi faced each other.
"Please!"
Ghost Blade bowed.
Li Zhi wore a look of disdain, extremely disrespectful, like a proud rooster.
Ghost Blade wasn't angry.
He only sneered.
Although Li Zhi was stronger, if he underestimated Ghost Blade, Ghost Blade had a way to make him suffer.
"Go ahead, I'll let you three moves."
Li Zhi said indifferently.
His target was Xiao Chen, so he had to display his powerful skills.
He deliberately allowed Ghost Blade three moves.
Ghost Blade laughed.
Xiao Chen also laughed.
This Li Zhi truly brought trouble upon himself.
Daring to allow Ghost Blade three moves, what could have been a sure win might now turn embarrassing.
Ghost Blade let out a cold laugh, dashed forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring, incredibly fast.
To the ordinary people around, it was like a magic trick.
Practically like he had superpowers.
At the moment he approached Li Zhi, Ghost Blade suddenly drew the Black Blade,
brandishing it with a grim, sinister gleam.
Boom!
As soon as the blade struck, the spectators felt a chilling blade aura as if it could slice their skin.
Faces turned pale, and they fled their seats, scampering to a safe distance.
Li Zhi wore a face of contempt, standing still without any intention to dodge.
Ghost Blade sneered.
This strike came down hard.
Bam!
Li Zhi caught the blade with his bare hands!
After a terrifying clash,
the ground beneath Li Zhi's feet suddenly split.
His legs sank down.
Li Zhi's face changed dramatically.
Ghost Blade was much stronger than he imagined.
Although this strike couldn't injure him, it made his palm feel sore.
He started to regret allowing Ghost Blade three moves.
What could have been a win now felt somewhat humiliating.
"Second strike!"
Ghost Blade's second strike was even more powerful.
He leapt into the air, slashing down from above.
With no need for defense, all his strength went into the attack.
Bam!
Another fierce strike, Li Zhi barely managed to block it.
But he was already half-buried in the ground.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Finally, when Ghost Blade unleashed the third strike, Li Zhi couldn't withstand it any longer. He soared from the ground to dodge Ghost Blade's attack, then counterattacked.
His strength truly was formidable.
Once he attacked, he firmly suppressed Ghost Blade.
Yet, even so, Ghost Blade tangled with Li Zhi for over a hundred moves before losing.
It seemed he had gained much from the encounter.
Returning to his seat, he closed his eyes and began to contemplate.
Xiao Chen stood up, smiling at the King of Bohai, "Your Bohai Nation indeed has such a master, truly rare.
How about we make a wager?"
"What wager?"
The King of Bohai asked.
"How many oil fields does your Bohai Nation have?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Seventy-two oil fields, all with very rich deposits, enough to supply the world for over a hundred years."
The King of Bohai said.
"Then here's the deal, if you lose this battle, all those oil fields are mine.
If I lose, I'll give you the seventy-two oil fields in the Middle East, how about that?"
Xiao Chen said calmly.
Boom!
As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked.
My goodness, that's quite the gamble, betting with oil fields as a stake, and directly going for all of Bohai Nation's oil fields.
Usually, international bets might involve one or two oil fields, gas fields, or some iron or copper mines.
Or they might bet with money or stocks.
But to wager the ownership of seventy-two oil fields at once, that was truly ruthless.
"This Dragon Country War God is really gutsy, does he really have that many oil fields?"
"He should have, I've heard this Dragon Country War God is also a savvy businessman."
"Then it must be true, but does he really think he's a match for Li Zhi?"
"Heh, if he loses, he won't just fail as the Dragon Country War God, but his wife's company might get dragged in too."
The officials of Bohai Nation buzzed with discussion, obviously puzzled by Xiao Chen's actions.
This was indeed an unprecedented gamble.
Seventy-two oil fields, whomever possessed them would be unbelievably wealthy.
Though the Bohai Nation was small, it was prosperous because of these oil fields.
