1030 The Gamble
“Of course, my power can shake the heavens and earth, and shatter mountains. With a single punch, the mountain peak will collapse. Not to mention anything else, this iron stick weighs more than ten thousand kilograms. Ordinary people can’t even lift it.”
The ape said confidently.
“Oh, so you said that you are the strongest! Why don’t we make a bet then? Let’s compete in strength,” said Li Xiang with a smile.
“Do you want to compete with me in strength?”
The ape grinned. A human competing with it in strength was simply a huge joke. It was born with divine power. It might have to consider in other fields, but not in terms of strength.
“In that case, do you dare to compete with me?” Li Xiang asked.
“What is there to be afraid of?” said the ape loudly.
“Alright, I have a battle spear that is a rare treasure. As long as you can pull it out from the ground, it will be my loss. I’ll give you any treasure you want immediately. I will also treat you with good wine and meat. If you can’t pull it out, it will be your loss. Then you have to work for the Kingdom of Dawn for a hundred years.”
As he spoke, Li Xiang waved his hand and the battle spear appeared in front of him. It turned into a stream of light and stabbed into the blood-stained ground with a bang. Divine light flickered on it, and dao patterns interweaved. One could tell at a glance that this was not an ordinary treasure.
“Treasure! Good treasure!”
When the ape saw the battle spear, its eyes lit up and it couldn’t take his eyes off it. IT knew at a glance that this must be a rare treasure. It subconsciously had the thought of taking it.
“The rules have to be changed!” said the ape suddenly.
“Change? How do you want to change it?”
Li Xiang asked calmly.
“It’s simple. If I pull out this battle spear, it will be mine. I don’t want any other treasures but this one,” said the ape.
“What if you lose?” Li Xiang asked again with a faint smile.
“Lose? How can I lose?” When the ape heard this, it shook its head repeatedly. “How about this? If I lose, I won’t join you. You can choose a treasure from me.”
To make it pledge allegiance to the Human race was different from what it had imagined. A hundred years of loyalty was not a good idea. Although it didn’t think it would lose, it couldn’t accept such a bet.
“Alright.”
Li Xiang pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
“Alright then. Watch me pull out this battle spear!”
The ape laughed lightly and jumped in front of the battle spear. It laughed strangely and reached out to grab the spear. At the same time, a huge force rushed into its arm and burst out with great divine power. It pulled upward and was about to pull the spear out of the ground. In its opinion, this was a simple and easy thing to do. No matter how heavy it was, it must be able to pull it out.
This was its confidence.
However, something unexpected happened.
Although the ape didn’t use its full strength, it still exerted a force of hundreds of thousands of kilograms. It was enough to pull up a small mountain. It could be said to be very powerful. However, when the power landed on the spear, it disappeared without a trace. It did not even move the spear at all. It could not even make the spear move by an inch.
“Hmm? That’s impossible.”
The ape’s face turned red. It had just said that it could pull out the battle spear effortlessly, but now it couldn’t even move it. This was simply a slap in the face. And it had slapped itself.
It was a joke that it couldn’t pull out this battle spear with the strength of hundreds of thousands of kilograms. What a joke!
“Get up!”
The ape’s face turned ugly as it bared its teeth and shouted. The muscles on its arm were moving, and anyone could feel the shocking power contained in it. However, when it landed on the battle spear, it didn’t move at all. Not even an inch. When the monstrous power landed on the spear, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. It seemed to be ineffective.
On the contrary, the ape had used all his strength and its face turned red.
“Impossible! I don’t believe it.”
The ape looked at the battle spear in shock. It couldn’t believe that it couldn’t even move a tiny spear. How heavy was this spear? It should have been shaken. But now, there was no reaction at all.
“Indestructible Diamond Body, berserk!”
The ape couldn’t accept this at all. Its eyes were filled with madness as it let out a roar. Its body suddenly expanded to more than 1,000 feet. A layer of golden divine light erupted from its body, causing its aura to instantly increase. Its HP went berserk. On its arms, countless muscles moved like dragons. At this moment, the power aura emitted was not just a million, but even millions.
“Again!”
The ape roared again. It grabbed the battle spear and pulled it up crazily.
Kacha!
Cracks appeared on the ground under its feet and spread out continuously. It was a shocking sight. One could imagine how powerful the power that erupted at that moment was.
However, it was useless.
The battle spear remained motionless. No, it seemed to have moved a little, but it still hadn’t been pulled out from the ground.
“It’s useless. If you can’t pull it out, don’t force yourself. It seems that your strength isn’t invincible. You’ve lost,” said Li Xiang calmly.
The battle spear at this moment was not an ordinary spear. If the ape were to pull it out of its original weight, it could do it easily.
However, this battle spear was the 15th sky-opening divine weapon in the Tower of Stars. It was connected to the origin of space in a tower and could accommodate Heaven and Earth energy in a tower, carrying a small world.
If the ape wanted to pull out the battle spear, it was equivalent to grabbing a small world with one hand. The weight of a small world was not just a million kilograms, even a million kilograms of strength was not enough.
No matter how strong the ape was, it couldn’t support a small world. This was already beyond its ability. The strength of a million kilograms was as small as an ant in front of the battle spear.
“I…I lost…”
Although the ape didn’t want to admit it, it still had to take responsibility. It looked at the battle spear unwillingly and finally admitted that it had lost. It couldn’t pull out this spear. No matter what happened, it had failed. There was no doubt about it.
“Good. You’re indeed honest.” With a thought, Li Xiang’s battle spear flew into the air and disappeared into his hand. When the ape saw this, it felt even more indignant. It knew that there was something strange about the battle spear, but the battle was over. It had indeed lost.
It loved money and treasures, but it did not lack the most basic honesty.
Reputation came from nature.
Although the ape didn’t expect to lose, it didn’t go back on its word. It said unwillingly, “Alright, I lost this time. You can choose one of my treasures and we’ll call it even.”
As it spoke, it looked hurt to the core.
