Chapter 299: Everything we have!
Looking at his rank, Chen Tian felt better.
He had started at 30,000, and now he was among the top 100. That was quite simple.
"Someone take this youngster back to get healed." Gao Shun signaled for a couple of disciples to come forward and help Lian Feng out of the arena.
As they led him away, silence fell over the arena as all the disciples had their eyes wide open from shock.
The unexpected turn of events left everyone speechless, their hearts racing with a mix of disbelief and awe.
Lian Feng's defeat surprised the majority of the outer disciples, as well as a few other outer elders.
"Ahh!! Senior brother lost!!"
"I can't believe it, something is wrong!" The whispers and gasps spread through the crowd as they watched Lian Feng be escorted off the arena.
"No, my money!!"
"How much did you bet on?"
"Five hundred low-grade spirit stones! Noooo!," Some shouted in pain, clutching their pockets in despair.
The atmosphere in the arena had shifted dramatically, with murmurs of doubt and suspicion beginning to fill the air.
"Congratulations, young man." Elder Gao Shun said, approaching Chen Tian with a smile.
"Your performance was truly impressive," Elder Gao Shun continued, nodding approvingly.
After today's display, he already had high hopes for Chen Tian, not to mention that Chen Tian was acquainted with that old man, Xu Zhiyuan.
"Thank you, elder." Chen Tian replied, nodding respectfully. Despite the surrounding chaos, he remained calm and composed, he didn't feel anything about winning.
His opponent was strong, he didn't even use half of his strength yet. Since entering the Foundation Establishment, Chen Tian has yet to fully experience the extent of what he can do.
As he looked around, he suddenly spotted the figure of his wife.
"Bingxin!"
Su Bingxin was standing by the sidelines, beside the betting tables, a smile brightening on her face.
Chen Tian excused himself, which Gao Shun didn't mind, and approached Su Bingxin with a curious look on his face.
When he got closer, he noticed the betting tables and the odds of 99:1.
A wave of understanding came to his mind—someone put a bet on him, but Chen Tian didn't know anyone here and had no idea why someone would place such a high bet on him.
"Bingxin, how much did you bet on me?" Chen Tian asked, his eyes searching hers for an answer.
Su Bingxin, hearing Chen Tian's words, chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Everything we have!"
"…"
Chen Tian was speechless after hearing Su Bingxin's response. Smart! He quickly realized that Su Bingxin had made a lot of money right now by betting on him.
Every outer disciple was given a monthly allowance of 100 low-grade stones, and Su Bingxin and Chen Tian weren't any different.
But Chen Tian didn't need any spirit stones since he didn't use any to cultivate them, so he gave all his allowance to Su Bingxin.
He didn't mind, since his money is also his wife's money, and he was more than happy to support her in any way he could.
So after 5 months of saving up her and his monthly allowance, Su Bingxin had accumulated a total of 10 mid-grade stones.

"Kids, return to your home. I need to continue explaining things." Suddenly, Xu Zhiyuan's voice echoed inside their minds.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin both looked at each other in confusion before realizing that maybe Xu Zhiyuan wanted to continue explaining about the grand event they were participating in.
They quickly made their way back to their home, eager to hear what Xu Zhiyuan had to say.
On their way, Su Bingxin approached Chen Tian and whispered in his ear, "I will tell you how much I made, but you will be surprised by the amount." Chen Tian raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Su Bingxin's mysterious comment.
He shook his head at the girl beside him. He really didn't care, since he didn't need any money.
'After Old Xu Zhiyuan explains what this event is, I will head back to earth for some time and take a break from all of this,' he thought to himself.
At that time, the sect, especially the outer court, was in uproar as news of Lian Feng's defeat spread like wildfire.
Everyone was shocked and buzzing with speculation, wondering who would be able to take down someone in the top 100.
The news even reached the disciples in the top 100, especially the ones that are higher than Lian Feng by one or two ranks.
Some were secretly pleased at the downfall of their rival, while others were anxious about the appearance of someone new who could potentially threaten their own position.
With that, searches for Chen Tian in the sect began to intensify, with many curious to learn more about this mysterious figure who had managed to defeat Lian Feng.
Rumors and theories began to circulate, with some claiming Chen Tian must have some powerful backing, while others speculated that he was some elder disciple.
"Damn it, piece of sh*t, he can't even do what he was ordered," Wang Hao muttered, upset by Lian Feng's defeat.
"Honey, calm down," Li Mei Ling replied, trying to soothe his frustration.
Li Mei Ling has been training for the past 5 months, and only now has she finished her own seclusion.
When she came out, she was delighted with her achievement and wanted to get revenge on that bitch, Su Bingxin, but after her Dao Companion returned and told her everything that happened today, she had a sinking feeling in her stomach, filled with dread.
Her strength improved greatly during this time, and she was now a Peak Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, one step away from reaching the Meridian Opening Realm.
Her fire law also improved to 15%, the highest increase achievable for a Qi Refinement cultivator's.
If she wanted to grasp more of the power of the laws, she would need to advance to the next realm.
'Foundation Realm, that person had already reached the Foundation Realm; how did he manage to do that?' Wang Hao thought to himself, his anger bubbling just below the surface.
He wasn't worried that Chen Tian was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his family has more of those cultivators.
He was more shocked that Chen Tian reached that level.
Last time, Chen Tian was just a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, his continent rank was even unranked, so even if Chen Tian returned to his continent with what resources, could he have possibly used them to advance so quickly?
Wang Hao's face darkened, and his body tensed.
He can't believe that someone can cultivate that fast, even the genius of the Immortal Sword Sect took years to reach the Foundation Realm, with resources from the sect.
But Wang Hao knew he couldn't dwell on it for too long. He had to focus on a way to get revenge on Chen Tian.
Not only for his own dignity, but also for his dao companion, whom Chen Tian humiliated in front of everyone.
Subsequently, he raised his head and glanced at the man sitting opposite to him.
"Do you have a plan?"
