The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1087: Cards [First Update]

Upon seeing Ye Feng, Li Jiuling, and the middle-aged man with short hair, Meng, not speaking, Bai Yunzi said, ”Since none of you are speaking, I assume you’re not willing to give up and want to participate in the second challenge. As long as one of you four passes the test, I can activate the grand formation and let you through!”

Upon hearing Bai Yunzi’s words, everyone perked up. This meant that as long as one of them passed Bai Yunzi’s test, they would all be safe.

At this moment, Ye Feng had no choice but to participate in the challenge, as even he couldn’t break the super grand formation.

The only way to activate the grand formation was to have Bai Yunzi open it.

Bai Yunzi said, ”Alright, follow me, and I will take you to the second challenge!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yunzi led Ye Feng and the others towards the mountaintop.

After a short while, Bai Yunzi brought Ye Feng and the others to the top of the mountain, where there was a grass hut identical to the one on the opposite mountain. Bai Yunzi led them inside the hut.

Inside the hut, there was only a table and two chairs.

On the table lay a few cards, and Bai Yunzi walked to the table, sat on a chair, picked up the cards, and said calmly, ”Actually, the second challenge is very simple. You just have to play a game with me. If you win, I will let you enter the Martial Arts World!”

”A game?” Everyone was taken aback, a look of confusion in their eyes as they curiously glanced at Bai Yunzi.

Bai Yunzi nodded, ”Indeed, a game. I made these cards myself.”

After speaking, Bai Yunzi turned the cards over one by one and placed them on the table. There were three types of cards, each with two copies. Bai Yunzi explained, ”I call these the Emperor Cards. As you can see from the illustrations, there are Commoner, Noble, and Emperor cards, three types in total. Each person can take one card.

In other words, you hold one of each: Emperor, Noble, and Commoner. We have five minutes to decide which card to play. Once you’ve made your choice, place the card on the table.

Be sure to put it face down, then once everyone is ready, reveal the cards simultaneously. Nobles can kill Commoners, Emperors can kill Nobles, and Commoners can kill Emperors. If you play Commoner and I play Emperor, then I lose. If you play Noble and I play Emperor, then I lose. Understood?”

Upon hearing Bai Yunzi’s words, everyone nodded, surprised at how simple it seemed.

Bai Yunzi said, ”We will play one-on-one, and each person has three lives. Whoever loses three times first is the true loser. Got it?”

”Understood!” the middle-aged man with short hair said, and Ye Feng and the others nodded as well.

Bai Yunzi continued, ”However, there’s an added condition. If you win, I will let you enter the Martial Arts World. But if you lose, you will become my slave for twenty years, doing everything I say, even if it means dying. You cannot refuse!”

”What!” Upon hearing Bai Yunzi’s words, both the middle-aged man with short hair and Meng grew tense.

The middle-aged man with short hair began to hesitate and asked Bai Yunzi, ”Esteemed Bai Yunzi, may I withdraw now?” Bai Yunzi shook his head and replied, ”No, I gave you the choice earlier. If you want to back out now, you’ll have to die...”

The middle-aged man with short hair and Meng both felt a chill, a look of fear in their eyes.

At this point, even if they didn’t want to participate, they had no choice but to bite the bullet.

”Alright, you can check my cards for any markings or tampering,” Bai Yunzi said, handing the six cards to Ye Feng and the others for inspection.

Ye Feng and the others took the cards and checked them one by one, soon finding no issues with the six cards; there were indeed no markings or tampering from Bai Yunzi.

Ye Feng’s spiritual power was incredibly strong, making it impossible for anything to escape his eyes. If Bai Yunzi had tampered with the cards, Ye Feng would surely notice.

”No problems, right?” Bai Yunzi asked with a smile, looking at the four of them.

Ye Feng and the others shook their heads, and Bai Yunzi said, ”In that case, let’s begin. Who wants to go first?”

At this moment, the middle-aged man with short hair furrowed his brows and sat across from Bai Yunzi. ”Let me go first. I’m quite confident in my luck and hope to win the first round!”

”Good, brave choice! In that case, let’s start!” Bai Yunzi said.

Then, Bai Yunzi and the middle-aged man with short hair each took three cards and began to consider their moves.

Bai Yunzi placed his card face down on the table, ”I’ve made my choice, have you?”

The middle-aged man with short hair thought for a moment before placing his card on the table as well.

The card had been specially processed by Bai Yunzi, containing a Prohibition that prevented even Ye Feng, a mid-stage Divine Realm expert, from using spiritual power to peer through it and see the card’s face.

Seeing the card placed by the middle-aged man with short hair, Bai Yunzi smiled and said, ”You seem confident. Have you decided on this card?”

The middle-aged man with short hair nodded, ”I’ve made my decision. I’m choosing this card!”

Upon hearing his words, Bai Yunzi smiled slightly, ”Alright, since you’re sure, I’ll count to three, and then we’ll reveal the cards together, okay?”
