Chapter 2617: Spiritual Fight
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Holy Pavilion was a shop that had been set up by an elder in Palmy Branch.
As an elder at the Supreme Realm, he would not spend time managing the Holy Pavilion under normal circumstances. Most importantly, a few disciples were managing it for him.
The Holy Pavilion was not an ordinary shop as there had been no trading in the shop. It was merely a place for the disciples of Palmy Branch to gather together.
Su Mo and Qin Zhi walked into the Holy Pavilion, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a row of huge crystals.
There were 20 crystals and each of them was about the height of a man. The crystals were green and they looked like steles that were made of jade.
All the crystals were placed neatly at the center of the spacious shop and they were emitting a green light.
At this instant, almost all the crystals had two people standing in front of them with their palms placed on them. There were only a few crystals around, which no one went near.
Some of the people who were standing in front of the crystals looked pale, and some were sweating profusely. There were also some who looked pleased.
There were many people in the shop and it was clamorous as there were about a few thousand of them.
There were some people who were standing outside the row of crystals, near the door of the Holy Pavilion.
Three people were standing on one side of the crystals and they were a middle-aged man and two young men. All of them had put on yellow robes with the words Holy Pavilion sewn on them.
“Brother Wu Shan, did you see those crystals?” Qin Zhi asked as he pointed at the huge crystals.
“What are those?” Su Mo asked. From the conversations that were going on, he already knew the answer.
“These crystals are known as the Holy Crystals and they are specially made for the people to spar in them. That was a mental fight using the power of the Spiritual Soul!”
Qin Zhi replied with a grave look, “To be exact, this is a place to compete with one another, or, you may say, a place for us to bet.”
“I see!” Su Mo nodded. By looking at the scene and hearing the conversations, he already knew what was going on.
Su Mo had often bet in the past but he had never tried betting using his Spiritual Soul.
“Look at the three people. They are the ones who manage the Holy Pavilion. Every time we bet, they will take a 10 percent commission from us!”.
Qin Zhi pointed at the three people who were wearing the yellow robes with the Holy Pavilion words sewn on them and continued, saying, “They will take 10 percent for any kind of bets. If someone bets on treasures, they will take 10 percent after exchanging the treasures to Dawn Stones.”
“That is a high percentage!”

Su Mo was speechless. If someone bet 1,000,000 Dawn Stones, the commission would be 100,000 Dawn Stones. That was daylight robbery!
“What can we do?” Qin Zhi shook his head. One could find all sorts of opponents if they had the desire to bet.
Su Mo started to watch the people bet.
The people had different cultivation levels. Some were Rank 1 True Gods, and some were Rank 2 True Gods. There were Supreme Beings as well. The bet differed and it ranged from 10,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones to a few hundred thousand Higher-grade Dawn Stones.
The bet was over in no time. Basically, the result would be out in more than 10 breaths.
After the outcome was made known, the people would have to pay up and hand the commission to the three people who were in charge of Holy Pavilion.
No one dared to welch on a bet as Holy Pavilion was owned by the elder.
“Qin Zhi, I am surprised to see you in Holy Pavilion again!”
Suddenly, a hostile voice resounded behind Su Mo and Qin Zhi.
Su Mo turned his head and saw a man and a woman walking in.
The man was of a big build and he was taller than the ordinary people. He was in a leather top and he looked muscular.
The woman was in a green dress and she looked to be around 20 years of age. She looked sweet and had soft, supple skin. Her eyes were alluring and they looked like those of a fox.
The muscular man was the one who had made the comment.
“Cui Yan!” Qin Zhi called out angrily and clenched his fists when he saw the muscular man. The beautiful mansion that he used to reside in was taken over by Cui Yan.
“Why? Are you unhappy?” The muscular man by the name of Cui Yan went up to Qin Zhi with the woman with a mocking look.
Qin Zhi’s face turned pale when he heard what Cui Yan had said. He was indeed unhappy, but Cui Yan was more powerful than him as he was a Rank 9 Lower True God. Qin Zhi could not do anything about it even though he was unhappy.
“By the way, Qin Zhi, your mansion is nice and beautiful. I have given it to Mei’er as a gift!” Cui Yan smiled and held the woman beside him by the waist.
“Hehe… Junior Brother Qin Zhi, I must thank you for that!” The woman giggled and said. Qin Zhi’s mansion was not only beautiful but there were several arrays in it. Apparently, he had spent much effort on the mansion.
Although the woman by the name of Mei’er was thanking Qin Zhi, she was mocking him.
“I am merely letting you have the mansion for the time being. I shall get it back from you soon!” Qin Zhi said after he had suppressed his anger. The mansion was nothing to him but he had to take revenge.
“I never knew that Junior Brother Qin Zhi had aspiration. How about having a bet with me? If you win, I will return the mansion to you!” Mei’er smiled derisively as she rolled her eyes.
The Spiritual Fight was a mental fight on the huge crystal using one’s Spiritual Soul.
“You…!” Qin Zhi was raging. However, he tried hard to suppress his anger. The woman was Hu Mei’er and she had the same cultivation level as him. Although both of them were Rank 8 Advanced True Gods, Mei’er was more powerful than Qin Zhi.
“Qin Zhi, you are useless!”
Cui Yan looked at Qin Zhi with disdain and said “If you compete with Mei’er based on your strength, you will be no match for her. However, do you not have confidence in the Spiritual Fight?”
When Qin Zhi heard what Cui Yan had said, the color drained from his face. He did not have many resources left and it would be insulting if he were to lose the fight.
Su Mo looked impassively at Cui Yan and Hu Mei’er. Apparently, the two of them were trying to win over Qin Zhi’s resources.
Qin Zhi asked Hu Mei’er. He had decided to go ahead with the bet as he believed that he could win the Spiritual Fight.
“How about 500,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones?” Hu Mei’er asked with a smile.
“500,000!” Qin Zhi’s face turned grave when he heard the amount. That was all that he had. However, it took him only a minute to decide. He nodded and said, “Alright. We shall bet with 500,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones.”
Although Qin Zhi knew that he might lose to Hu Mei’er, he decided to go ahead with the bet. He would not regret his decision even if he were to lose.
Moreover, if he no longer had any resources, he would head up to Myriad Holy Mountain to cultivate for a period of time. That said, the amount of Liquid in Myriad Holy Mountain could be miserable if too many people were around.
Cui Yan broke out into laughter and said derisively, “Qin Zhi, you will be broke!”
“Come on!” Hu Mei’er called out to Qin Zhi and walked toward a huge crystal.
Qin Zhi and Cui Yan immediately went over.
Cui Yan and Hu Mei’er glanced at Su Mo but they couldn’t care less about him.
Soon, Hu Mei’er and Qin Zhi stood in front of the crystal and told one of the people from Holy Pavilion about the bet. Having done so, the two of them placed their palms on the crystal and shut their eyes.
It was a silent fight, and no one could see a thing. It was an invisible fight in the crystal.
It took only two breaths to know the outcome as Qin Zhi’s face turned pale in an instant.
“Useless bum!” Cui Yan sneered when he saw it.
Su Mo knitted his brows when he saw that Qin Zhi was on the verge of defeat. Qin Zhi was indeed weak, but Cui Yan was detestable.
After three more breaths, Qin Zhi started to stagger back three steps and his face was as white as a sheet.
“Qin Zhi, you have lost!” Hu Mei’er removed her palms from the crystal and gave Qin Zhi a mocking look.
“Hahaha! Qin Zhi, you are useless! Five breaths and you are out!” Cui Yan said as he laughed out loudly. He was looking pleased.
Cui Yan’s laughter caught the attention of many people, and some of them who knew Qin Zhi and Cui Yan merely shook their heads.
For the past few decades, Qin Zhi had been suppressed by Cui Yan countless times.
Qin Zhi’s face turned blue and he almost lost his cool. He was not surprised at his defeat but he was raging due to Cui Yan’s insult.
“Qin Zhi, hand the 500,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones over to me!” Hu Mei’er said and stretched out her hand when she came beside Qin Zhi.
“Take it!” Qin Zhi took out a storage ring and handed it over to Hu Mei’er. Since he had lost, he would honor his word.
After Hu Mei’er received the Dawn Stones, she checked on the amount and handed 10 percent commission to the people from the Holy Pavilion.
Qin Zhi was depressed. After looking at Su Mo, he started to walk out of the Holy Pavilion as he did not want to look at Cui Yan’s detestable face.
However, after talking two steps, someone grabbed him by the arm and stopped him from leaving.
“Junior Brother Qin Zhi, please wait a while!”
Su Mo had stopped Qin Zhi from leaving. He turned his head to look at Hu Mei’er and said, “Miss, we have the same cultivation level. Do you dare to bet with me?”
Su Mo found Cui Yan disgusting. Since Hu Mei’er and Cui Yan were a team, he would make sure they lost all that they had.
“You?” Hu Mei’er sized Su Mo up when she heard what Su Mo had said. She had never met Su Mo before and was unaware of his strength.
“Young man, are you trying to stand up for Qin Zhi?” Cui Yan squinted his eyes when he heard Su Mo’s question.
