Chapter 922: Prompted by Interests

Before the tenth match, Gu Zhenhao had said that he believed Lin Mu could be among the top five.

His words were actually agreed by many cultivators, which was unexpected for Gu Zhenhao.

His original intention was that he could earn spirit stones only if others did not believe him.

Now that even others believed him, why would he bet with others?

"Your previous performance was too dazzling. Now many cultivators are blindly convinced of you and think you are unmatched." Gu Zhenhao sent a voice message to Lin Mu and smiled bitterly, "What should I do now?"

Lin Mu was also somewhat helpless. He knew his true strength, but in the eyes of the onlookers, his strength was extremely strong and they were very convinced of him.

When he participated in the mineral vein competition conference, part of his mind was also in this aspect. He had a reputation and shocked thousands of cultivators, which surprised people. He did not expect that the sale of the jade slips would be extremely smooth and successful.

But before the round-robin battle was over, many cultivators were convinced of him, and they believed that he could be in the top five.

Don't they know how difficult it is to be in the top five?

"Don't they know that I can only lose one game at most?" Lin Mu asked.

Gu Zhenhao reacted immediately and said hurriedly: "Many people may not know. After all, you have won six games in a row, which means you are in the top ten. There are still six games to go. Many people think that it is not a big problem for you to be in the top five. In fact, you can only lose one game at most."

"You have to tell everyone the truth." Lin Mu also felt a headache, "It is also a fault to be too strong."

In the last competition, he launched a fierce attack against a cultivator in the late stage of fusion, forcing the cultivator in the late stage of fusion to admit defeat. This is his strategy. In order to win, he must do so.

But the more this is the case, the stronger his strength will be in the eyes of thousands of cultivators.

Many people mistakenly think that cultivators in the late stage of fusion are not his opponents at all. Under his fierce attack, they can only bow their heads and admit defeat.

Lin Mu himself had to admit that if he was a bystander, he would think that he was really invincible and had no rivals.

Only he knew the truth.

"You can only lose one game. You can't admit defeat in the next competition. Then you should try to be weaker and stop crushing others." Gu Zhenhao advised Lin Mu, and then with regret, "You missed three competitions. Otherwise, let alone becoming the top five, even becoming the top three, there is a great hope!"

Try to be weaker.

Hearing this, Lin Mu smiled bitterly.

"Do you think I can win?" Lin Mu asked back.

"I believe you!" Gu Zhenhao said confidently, "Otherwise I wouldn't have this suggestion."

Lin Mu knew the pain and had to nod helplessly.

Now he really realized how difficult it was to earn spirit stones.

The more you earn, the more you pay.

Many of the efforts here may not be seen by others.

Before Lin Mu went on stage to compete, Gu Zhenhao had said to others that Lin Mu could be among the top five. Many cultivators actually agreed with him, and there was no one who opposed him, let alone anyone who wanted to take the initiative to bet with him.

Having been cheated several times before, these people have learned their lesson.

Gu Zhenhao clearly set a trap for them to fall into. They were fooled once or twice, but they would never be fooled all the time.

Now that Lin Mu is so popular and powerful, they will not take the initiative to send spirit stones to Gu Zhenhao.

"If Lin Mu wants to be among the top five, he can only lose one game at most in the next competition!" Gu Zhenhao analyzed to everyone, "He did not play against the cultivators ranked second, fourth, and fifth in the last competition. With his strength, it is difficult to win a game in a row. He may lose all three games. In fact, his hope of becoming among the top five is not great."

"Then why do you still believe that he can be among the top five?" Someone asked puzzled.

"He is my friend, so I naturally have to believe him." Gu Zhenhao said as a matter of course.

"I think he helped you earn hundreds of billions of spirit stones before, this is the most important reason." Someone laughed and joked.

Gu Zhenhao's old face flushed, then returned to normal, and simply nodded: "Of course, this is also a big reason. He has done many things that we think are impossible. This time, I hope he can also create a miracle."

"Are you going to bet with us again this time?" Someone saw Gu Zhenhao's intention and pointed it out directly.

Gu Zhenhao smiled and admitted, "I do have this idea."

Many cultivators heard this and showed an expression that they had known it long ago, and they all turned their heads away immediately.

"If Lin Mu wants to be in the top five, he can only lose one match at most, which is actually very difficult. Some of his secret trump cards look very powerful, but in fact, they are facing ordinary late-stage fusion cultivators. If he faces the top ones, it may not be effective." A more rational cultivator analyzed, "Even if he detonates the Thunder Yuan Pearl, those people cannot mobilize the power of heaven and earth, but with their sword attainments in the middle stage of the Sword Domain and the ultimate cultivation in the late stage of fusion, their strength will not be inferior to Lin Mu, but they will be more durable."

"If we really compare the odds, those guys have a better chance of winning!"

Another cultivator also followed up, "Those guys already have more than ten mineral veins. Over the years, I don't know how many spirit stones they have accumulated. If we really compare trump cards, they definitely have more than Lin Mu, and their power is definitely stronger."

"In terms of cultivation, strength, trump cards, and background, Lin Mu has no advantage over those guys!"

After the two analyzed it, many cultivators around them also understood and nodded in agreement.

Many things are indeed not as simple as they seem.

But despite this, no one took the initiative to gamble with Gu Zhenhao.

As a last resort, Gu Zhenhao took the initiative to say: "Although it is very difficult, I also believe that Lin Mu can do it. For this reason, I am willing to gamble with you again. Even if I lose all my wealth, I will not regret it. This will make me get closer to him, and there will be no less benefits in the future."

"Lose all your wealth?" Immediately, a cultivator said indignantly, "You have earned so many spiritual stones before, how could you lose all your wealth?"

It seems that he has lost a lot of spiritual stones before.

"It's different this time." Gu Zhenhao said seriously, "This time I want to be completely crazy. I will no longer bet with others whether Lin Mu can win a certain competition, but I will bet with others whether he can eventually become the top five! For this, I am willing to offer a hundred times odds. If you are interested, I will accompany you to the end!"

As soon as these words came out, the group was silent for a moment, and then it became lively again.

A hundred times odds!

If this wins, it will be a huge profit.

Many cultivators struggled in their hearts and decided to gamble with Gu Zhenhao.

To be on the safe side, they all took out about a million spirit stones.

However, the number of cultivators participating in the bet was far greater than before.

Driven by the huge interests, few people could really stay calm.
