The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1595: Unbelievable Odds Chapter 1595: Unbelievable Odds Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Chen would not have been angry if he had been the target of the insult, but Huang Can had insulted Wu Xing! “Alright, Huang Can. Although I know that you’re just worried about the forces behind me and want to use this gamble to make me bleed, I’ll still take the gamble. I just don’t know if you can afford to pay up.” Huang Can snorted disdainfully. “How many immortal stones do you even have? Even if the odds are 100 times, I can still afford it!” He was afraid that Ye Chen would back out, so he deliberately set the odds extremely high. “Huang Can, you will regret this. Remember my words. After the competition ends, if you’re still alive, you will lose everything!” Ye Chen already considered Wu Xing, Wu Wei, and Chen Zhifan as his friends, and whoever insulted his friends would have to pay the price! “Oh? Then I’ll wait.” ‘He took the bait!’ Huang Can laughed coldly in his heart. This kid was indeed impulsive and rash.  Ye Chen walked over to his own name tag in the gambling den. With a wave of his hand, a storage pouch appeared in his hand. He threw it in front of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion disciple and said, “I bet on Ye Chen. First place, five hundred top-grade immortal stones!” As soon as he said that, the entire gambling den suddenly fell silent. Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Ye Chen and the storage bag he had given the disciple.  This was unbelievable! 500 top-grade immortal stones! It was impossible for an ordinary Dao Integration realm cultivator to possess such wealth, let alone a Divine King realm cultivator. Furthermore, this fellow came from the Kunlun Mountains, which were ranked at the bottom among the martial planes connected to the Lingwu Continent. How could someone like him be so rich? Naturally, they did not know that these five hundred top-grade immortal stones were just a drop in the ocean to Ye Chen. After all, Ye Chen had looted the treasury of the Dugu family and a large number of forces in the western region. Even if it was a hundred times as many immortal stones, he could still afford it. “Brat, my Immortal Ascension Pavilion’s gambling den is not a place where you can boast carelessly!” Huang Can shouted sternly. “Shush! Just watch and wait.” Ye Chen gestured for the disciple to count. The Immortal Ascension Pavilion disciple picked up the storage bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense. His expression changed immediately. He scanned it three or four times before solemnly saying to Huang Can, “There are five hundred top-grade immortal stones. Not a single one less.” Hiss! Everyone gasped at the same time as they struggled to compose themselves. “How is that possible?” Huang Can snatched the storage bag and immediately released the immortal stones from within it. A wave of dense spiritual energy spread out, and everyone felt their vision blur. A pile of top-grade immortal stones that flickered with resplendent light when this happened. “It’s really five hundred…” Huang Can muttered. He was overjoyed! To him, this was not a small amount of wealth. “Are you sure you can afford the best?” A cold voice rang out in his ear. Huang Can felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, and he shivered! After all, if he manipulated matters in the gambling den without the consent of the pavilion master, he would be severely punished. Furthermore, if this implicated the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, in the most serious case, his cultivation would even be crippled and he would be expelled from the Immortal Ascension Pavilion! However, that was only possible if Ye Chen won first place. How could a little b*stard who had yet to reach the Primordial Chaos realm take first place? Huang Can was relieved by this thought. He sneered. “You piece of trash, you have no idea how wealthy I am. Of course I can afford it!” “I hope you’ll keep your word and not implicate the Immortal Ascension Pavilion,” Ye Chen sneered in response. At this moment, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair flew into the air and shouted loudly, “The Immortal Ascension Competition is about to begin. All participants, please prepare to draw lots! Everyone, please take your seats!” The venue of the Immortal Ascension Competition was a huge square. Around the square were seats that could accommodate a large crowd. In the middle of the square, there was a huge transparent crystal floating in the sky. Once the competition began, this crystal would display the battles and trials in the competition for easy viewing. There were exactly one hundred participants this time. Each group of ten people was divided into ten groups. Ye Chen had drawn his lot and ended up in the tenth group. The list of participants for each group was displayed on the crystal screen, so Ye Chen focused his attention on it. In the tenth group, other than him, there was also Ling Longcheng and Long Xuan. The woman called Wu You was in group seven, Zhao Lingxiao was in group nine, and Wang Yifei, who he got into a conflict with not long ago, was in group eight. “Let the competition begin!” Hearing the Pavilion Master’s shout, the crowd erupted in cheers like a tsunami. The audience was boiling with excitement! A golden light descended from the sky, revealing a path that was a hundred meters wide and a thousand meters long, as if it was made of pure gold. This was the ancient magic treasure used to test these participants. It was called the Immortal Ascension Path! Legend had it that those who could reach the end of the Immortal Ascension Path would be able to reach the Creation realm in ten years, and might even awaken and comprehend a supreme Dao. The longer they endured, the better their performance. The better their performance, the more likely they were to be recruited by a powerful force! Every hundred meters was considered a threshold on the Immortal Ascension Path, and generally speaking, those who could reach 300 meters on the Immortal Ascension Path were qualified to be called geniuses in the Lingwu Continent. They would be considered to have seventh-rate talent. However, this was just the bare minimum, and they had to go even further than that in order to attract the attention of the first-rate forces. Those who could reach 400 meters would be deemed to have sixth-rate talent. Although it was just one grade ahead of the last, it allowed them to stand out and obtain offers from small to medium-sized forces. Those who could reach 500 meters would be considered average in ancient times, but now, they would be considered true geniuses, and had the potential to be nurtured into experts that could support the sects. In ancient times, those who were over 600 meters were considered outstanding and could barely be considered as geniuses. However, in the current era, many middle-sized sects were willing to recruit them.
