Chapter 537: Pupil Skill? I Learn and Sell on the Spot!
After much anticipation, the competition between Pupil Technique Master Robb Kalus and Gambling God Zhou Runfa finally began.
That morning, the entire "Yunhuang Stone Square" was packed to the brim. Those spectators who arrived early, bored with waiting, even bought a few raw gemstones to gamble with. In just a few hours, "Yunhuang Stone Square" managed to achieve half a year's worth of revenue. It showed that the celebrity effect worked everywhere.
In Master Robb's lounge, Carlos and other young "Stone Second Generation" from Moke City were also gathered. Their elders were notable Pupil Technique Masters, so they had some influence in front of Robb.
"Carlos, you've embarrassed your grandfather!" Robb scolded. "You actually lost to an unknown nobody. If I didn't step in, is there no young person in the Molar civilization's pupil arts world who can teach him a lesson?"
"Grandpa Robb, you can't blame me for this. In our competition that day, I performed quite well. Out of 120 raw gemstones, I extracted 24 Cosmic Crystals. Even if given another chance, I might not achieve that again."
"Oh?" Robb's expression softened slightly. He knew that the Carlos family's pupil technique, "Thunder Extreme Golden Eyes," was only a third-level Pupil Technique. Even practiced to perfection, it only had about that success rate.
"But who knew, I almost won, and he somehow lucked out at the end, extracting a fourth-level Cosmic Crystal that was heavier than all my Cosmic Crystals combined."
"Hmph, do you think he relied on luck?" Robb sneered.
"But I observed his state when choosing the raw gemstones. He was like taking a casual stroll, with no method at all, and there wasn't even a trace of Cosmic Source Power coming from him."
"That's because he learned a very powerful Pupil Technique, at least fourth-level or above. So he didn't need to exert full strength to beat you!"
"What? He cheated?"
"What cheating? A loss is a loss! He beat you fair and square with pupil arts. What are you whining about?" Robb said. "But, I'm curious about such a magical Pupil Technique. Otherwise, did you think Robb would come here in person for an unknown nobody?"
"I see?!" Now Carlos understood why Master Robb agreed right after hearing the news. It turned out he was interested in this Pupil Technique.
"Alright, the time is almost here. Study well. Pupil Technique is a profound subject!" Robb finished speaking and stepped into the prepared arena.
"He's out! Master Robb is out!"
"My idol! Oh my god, I finally see Master Robb in person!"
"Master Robb, teach this arrogant kid a lesson!"
"Exactly, who does he think he is, calling himself the Gambling God? Does he deserve it?"
The crowd of Pupil Technique enthusiasts eagerly shouted.
"Brother Zhou, it seems like your situation isn't so good!" In Fang Jueyu's lounge, apart from Reyno, Yiyi, and Natu and several Snowfall Clan maids, there was no support team.
"Ah, forget it, forget it. I won't bully them. If my rich civilization's fans came, they could trample this place flat!"
"Haha, it seems Brother Zhou is quite well-known in his civilization too."
"Haha, nothing special, really. I'm a jack of all trades; everyone just gives me face, haha!"
"Shameless!" Yiyi muttered quietly. Fang Jueyu's fans, at most, numbered in the tens of millions. Even if the entire population of Earth were added up, it wouldn't reach ten billion.
You must know that those watching this competition were in the trillions.
"Alright, I'm going up. I wonder what kind of wager the old guy brought."
...
"The Gambling God is out too!"
"Gambling God! Please don't lose today, we all support you!"
"Yes, Gambling God! I believe in your luck!"
The gamblers on this Ghana planet made up a significant portion of the population, and they cheered fervently for Fang Jueyu, their momentum rivaling that of Master Robb.
"It seems both parties have arrived." The owner of "Yunhuang Stone Square" walked into the arena and then bowed deeply to Robb, "Greetings, Master Robb."
"Hmm!" Robb nodded with satisfaction, acknowledging his identity.
"Today's competition is simple. Both parties will select from raw stones valued at 100 billion Cosmic Coins, and the one with the higher total value wins. As for the evaluation of the Cosmic Crystals' value, I'll be the judge; I assume neither of you has any objections?"
"Agreed!" Robb said. The "Yunhuang Stone Square" was backed by a huge Pupil Technique family, which was quite credible.
"No problem." Fang Jueyu naturally didn't care who the judge was.
"Alright, both of you should prepare then?"
"Wait!" Fang Jueyu raised his hand. "I want to ask, what wager did Master Robb prepare for today? If there's no wager, what's the point of winning?"
"Is he crazy? Does he think he can beat Master Robb?"
"Young people like to show off to gain fame, and he's already achieved that, hasn't he?"
"Hahaha, true!"
The audience immediately began to murmur.
"Haha, interesting." With everyone's eyes on him, Robb took out an incredibly dazzling medal, which was the prize from his participation in the last Pupil Technique Master Competition!
"If you win, this is yours!"
"Oh my God, he's actually bringing out his medal!"
"What are you afraid of? Do you really think this Zhou Runfa can beat him?"
"True, this medal, tsk tsk, if I could just touch it once, my life would be worth it!"
"Forget it, with your half-baked first-level Pupil Technique, not even in the next life!"
...
"Just this?" Fang Jueyu frowned, "A third place medal, and you have the nerve to bring it out?"
"What did you say?" The third place in the Pupil Technique Master Competition was the glory of Robb's lifetime, and the medal was encrusted with countless precious gemstones, including a sixth-level Cosmic Crystal as a highlight, its value incalculable. Yet Fang Jueyu still didn't think much of it?
"Then, what do you want?"
"Well, if Master Robb loses, how about being a spokesperson for 'Rey Stone Square' for a hundred years?"
Reyno, watching the competition, suddenly had a dramatic change in expression. He recalled something Fang Jueyu had said, "Weren't you looking for a spokesperson? I could find you one."
Could this person he meant actually be Master Robb?
"Hahaha, if I lose, I'd be a spokesperson for a hundred years, even a thousand years, without needing a single Cosmic Coin!" Robb never thought he would lose. "If you lose then?"
"At your disposal!" Those four words revealed Fang Jueyu's overwhelming confidence.
"I won't bully a youngster. You just need to admit you're useless and get out of this Ghana planet." In truth, Robb really wanted to take Fang Jueyu's life, but as a master of his stature, he had to maintain his reputation.
He knew Fang Jueyu had already offended quite a few people on this planet. Once he left, many would be willing to deal with this arrogant young man for him.
"Alright!" Fang Jueyu agreed outright.
"Zhou Runfa, I know you must have mastered a Pupil Technique. You should use it; otherwise, I guarantee you'll lose miserably!"
"Huh? Pupil Technique? I don't know any?" Fang Jueyu said awkwardly, "I've always relied on luck, wouldn't you all agree!"
"Right!"
"Exactly, the Gambling God doesn't know any Pupil Technique!"
The gamblers all chimed in.
"However, since you want to compete in Pupil Techniques, we can do that too! I'll learn and use it on the spot! Just give me the time of a song."
"What? What does he mean? He wants to learn Pupil Technique on the spot?"
"Did I hear wrong?"
"Impossible, even the most basic Pupil Technique takes years to learn. Even a genius takes decades to achieve something, right?"
"Wait, just watch!"
Fang Jueyu made a shocking statement, and everyone was focused on him, waiting to see what trick he was about to play.
"Hahaha, learn away, I want to see what kind of supreme Pupil Technique you can learn in the time of a song!" Robb sneered.
Fang Jueyu took out a square object, which seemed to be a recording device discarded by First-Level civilizations.
"Pa-ta!" Fang Jueyu pressed a button, and a mechanical voice suddenly echoed across the square.
"Eye exercises, starting now!"
"First section, rub the Tianying acupoint, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."
