Although Ye Ling’s strength was still unclear, could he really be stronger than the most powerful scions of those great families?
To Lu Feng, it was obviously impossible.
After all, the foundation was there, and with all kinds of resources, the gap was evidently significant.
This gap couldn’t be bridged by a mere bit of talent.
Of course, Lu Feng knew it wasn’t absolute.
However, compared to that tiny glimmer of hope,
Lu Feng still believed that Ye Ling would choose to retreat to advance.
“I… agree with Teacher Lu’s opinion. I’m also afraid Ye Ling will run away.”
After serious consideration, Hong Xiu decisively chose to follow Lu Feng’s choice.
Now, only Bai Tong, who had proposed this bet, was left to make his choice.
The three of them focused their gaze on Bai Tong, seemingly waiting for his answer.
“Why are you all looking at me? My choice is different from yours. I bet that Ye Ling will be eliminated, and there’s also a chance he might die.”
As he spoke, Bai Tong revealed a sly smile.
Upon hearing Bai Tong’s bet, the three of them looked at each other in dismay.
They had been considering whether Ye Ling would run away or face the challenge head-on, but they hadn’t thought about whether Ye Ling might be eliminated.
Bai Tong, however, was focused on Ye Ling’s possible final outcome.
Clearly, when placing their bets, the other three were at a disadvantage.
“My bet is fine, right? We didn’t specify fixed options from the start, did we? So my choice is valid.”
At this moment, in the eyes of the other three, Bai Tong seemed so shameless.
“Fine, I just didn’t expect it, Teacher Bai, you’re so cunning.”
Huo Ling crossed her arms, a trace of displeasure evident on her face.
Lu Feng and Hong Xiu felt similarly.
After all, no one had expected Bai Tong to play it this way.
Given the current situation, Ye Ling basically had no chance to escape.
Even if he managed to evade for a while, he couldn’t completely shake off the enraged Black Feather Eagle.
In the end, Ye Ling would still have to face the Black Feather Eagle.
The strength of the Black Feather Eagle went without saying.
Looking at the current students, there was almost no chance of victory in a one-on-one fight.
In other words, Bai Tong was already in an unbeatable position.
Because Ye Ling was bound to be eliminated or killed.
As for defeating the Black Feather Eagle, none of them had considered this possibility.
Even Huo Ling, who had high hopes for Ye Ling, didn’t think so.
…
At this moment, in the Secret Realm, Ye Ling, who was cautiously dealing with the Black Feather Eagle, had no idea that his next choice had already become a bet.
Ye Ling was very clear about Blood Phantom’s current strength.
Even a First Rank Tenth Level Demon could be fought against.
But facing a demon in the sky was always Blood Phantom’s shortcoming.
And all of Ye Ling’s First Level spiritual techniques weren’t particularly effective against such high-level First Rank demons.
It was fine for dealing with the Steel-winged Bird before, but using the same method against the Black Feather Eagle was unrealistic.
Even if his Spiritual Power Chains successfully entangled the Black Feather Eagle, it would break free in the first instance.
Unless… he upgraded his First Level Spiritual Power Chains to Second Level.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling recalled the Free Points he still had.
Excluding the points he had previously allocated to Blood Phantom’s skills and talents, Ye Ling had a total of 3 Free Points left.
However, due to his limited Spiritual Power Points, Ye Ling had been saving them for when he really needed them.
Now it seemed that to deal with the Black Feather Eagle, he might have to upgrade his spiritual techniques.
“Skree!!”
In the sky, the Black Feather Eagle let out another loud screech.
It seemed ready to launch an attack on Ye Ling.
Glancing at Blood Phantom beside him, Ye Ling saw that Blood Phantom was also very alert.
But facing a demon in the sky, Blood Phantom was outmatched.
Ye Ling now only hoped that when Blood Phantom broke through to the Second Rank, it would gain a flying talent or skill.
For now, he had no other choice.
“Whoo!”
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ling allocated one of his Free Points to the Spiritual Power Chains technique.
The originally First Level Spiritual Power Chains now underwent a transformation.
Spiritual Power Chains: Second Level, consumes 300 Spiritual Power Points. Upon use, it releases chains formed by spiritual power that can restrain demons below the Second Rank. Even Second Rank demons will have their actions restricted (the restriction time is related to the demon’s level).
Sure enough, after upgrading, the Spiritual Power Chains’ consumption of Spiritual Power Points instantly doubled, from the original one hundred to three hundred.
With Ye Ling’s current Spiritual Power Points, he could only use it three times.
And that was in a state of full Spiritual Power Points.
Although the consumption was very high, the effect had also become much stronger.
Demons below the Second Rank would find it nearly impossible to break free from the Second Level Spiritual Power Chains.
Of course, there could be exceptions, but clearly, the Black Feather Eagle was not one of them.
With the Second Level Spiritual Power Chains, Ye Ling now had the confidence to face the Black Feather Eagle with certainty.
