1376 Jade Altar

"Since I am betting my Ancestral Gaunlet, you should put something of similar value on the line. If you don't have anything like that, the five of you can work together to cover the difference." Kulas said to Gu Lim, who was gritting his teeth in anger.

Gu Lim was not angry because Kulas was betting on Tian Yang's survival. He was frustrated because he had nothing close to the value of Kulas' Ancestral Gauntlet.

He turned to look at his four buddies and said, "Let's do it. There's no way that talentless trash will survive the jade trial, so this will be an easy win for usit's essentially free money."

The four quickly nodded, agreeing to pool together their resources for the bet. None of them believed that Tian Yang could survive the jade altar's trial, so there was no hesitation in their decision.

Eventually, they gathered a small mountain of treasures for the bet.

Tian Yang's eyes widened with shock after seeing the difference. Kulas only had one itema pair of gauntlets. However, Gu Lim and his group had at least 20 different treasures.

'Just how valuable is that gauntlet? And he's willing to bet it on me?' Tian Yang swallowed nervously.

Fortunately for him, he wouldn't have to worry about the aftermath if he were to lose the trial, as he would be dead. However, he was still pressured by the knowledge that his death would lead to Kulas losing his precious treasure.

lightsnvl "Hey do you really have to bet on such a valuable treasure?" Tian Yang asked Kulas with a stiff look on his face.

Kulas responded with a smile, "The value of the treasure is how much trust I have in youin your talent."

Tian Yang clenched his fists after hearing Kulas' words. He's never had anyone put so much faith in him before, much less someone with a status as profound as Kulas.

'If I had a sworn brother, is this what it would feel like?' Tian Yang wondered to himself.

"Hey, trash bastard, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and die in the trial already." Gu Lim suddenly glared at Tian Yang with clear disdain.

Kulas narrowed his eyes, and he responded instead, "One more thing. If he survives the trial, you will take back all the bullshit you spewed and show some respect to my friend."

"Hahaha! If he survives, not only will I respect him, I will kowtow before him and call him my grandfather for the rest of my life!" Gu Lim laughed so viciously that his eyes became teary.

Hearing this, Kulas turned to look at Tian Yang and nodded with a serious expression, "Good luck, friend."

Tian Yang nodded with a slight smile, "I will see you in a bit."

Without hesitation, Tian Yang walked towards the jade altar, where only one challenger remained by the time he reached it.

"Huh? Is he really going to challenge the trial with that level of cultivation base?"

"There are better ways to court death"

"Who even is this guy? I recognized all the people that have challenged the trial, but I don't know him."

"I saw him talking with some people from the Immortal Clans just now. Perhaps he's from there?"

The spectators were in disbelief when they saw Tian Yang entering the trial area, especially after seeing his cultivation that was only at the eighth-level Spirit King. free(w)ebnovel

"Whoever claimed that he's from the Immortal Clans, take that back right this instance! How could such talentless trash come from the Immortal Clans? Are you mocking the Immortal Clans?!" Gu Lim suddenly spoke loudly, alerting all of the spectators.

"He's not from the Immortal Clans? Then he must be a nobody."

"His arrogance is too much for a nobody."

"How dare he even approach the jade altar? Does he think he's better than everyone who's come before him?"

Hearing so many people badmouth Tian Yang, Kulas lost his control and roared, "The next person to badmouth my friend will die by my hands!"

The spectators were startled by Kulas' killing intent, and when they recognized his identity, they immediately stopped talking out loud.

'Holy shit Isn't that Young Master Kulas from the Immortal Might Clan? Did he just call that man his friend?'

'Kulas he's known for being a brutal and cold person. That man must be very impressive to become such a person's friend'

Tian Yang had just closed his eyes when he heard Kulas' loud voice.

He smiled inwardly, 'Thank you my friend.' 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Begin trial," he muttered the following moment.

As Tian Yang began his trial, Gu Lim turned to look at Kulas and asked with a serious expression, "I seriously don't get it. Why did you befriend someone like him? He's just a nobody."

Kulas looked at him and responded in a calm voice, "If you'd been there when I first met him, you would feel nothing but respect and admiration for him."

"Have you ever seen someone desperately hold onto their life? I havemany times. However, none of them were able to move me the same way he did."

"Have you ever experienced a life-or-death situation? I have

dozens of times. However, compared to what he's experienced, my experience might as well be a drop in the ocean."

"He's someone who lives at the border between life and deatheastern fantasy

an existence that should've long perished with his level of talent. Despite that, he's managed to survive. How does he do it? I want to know. And how can I not respect someone like that? Compared to you bastards who flaunt their talents at every step, he's unfathomably more interesting."

Gu Lim and his friends were at a loss for words after hearing Kulas speak about Tian Yang. They've known Kulas for nearly most of their lives, but they have never seen him acting in such a manner before, much less praise someone.

Kulas stopped looking at Gu Lim and quickly glanced at the crowd before sneering in disdain, "Even I don't have the qualifications to mock him, much less these cowardly bastards here!"
