Chapter 1185 1196: Dust Settles
Duobao took out the last Storage Bag and immediately widened his eyes as he looked at Wang Yan, his eyes shining with a victorious light.
Indeed, this was his last Magical Treasure from the Magic Treasure Mountain, yet the contents of this Storage Bag were thousands.
Earlier, the two had busily worked and laid nearly ten Magic Treasure Mountains before them, none with more than a thousand.
This time, Duobao took out so many all at once.
Although this was Duobao's last Magic Treasure Storage Bag, he was very confident.
Wang Yan had already taken out a thousand treasures; it was impossible for him to take out another thousand unless Wang Yan, like him, had a dog's nose that could detect treasures.
Nevertheless, when Duobao glanced at Wang Yan, he saw Wang Yan's expression remained calm. Just as Duobao had taken out this treasure, Wang Yan waved his hand forward, and opposite Duobao's huge treasure mountain, an equally massive treasure mountain appeared.
The two treasure mountains were almost the same height, equally dazzling.
Yet the number of treasures in these mountains were far too many for anyone to count.
Duobao's face changed because his nose was incredibly sensitive. He could tell the number of treasures with just a whiff.
Thus, as soon as Wang Yan took out this treasure mountain, Duobao understood, Wang Yan had also taken out a thousand treasures.
At this point, Duobao was stunned; were it not for the arena, he might have rushed over to see if Wang Yan had a dog's Demon Pattern like him.
But Duobao had no idea that Wang Yan did not have a dog's keen nose. The reason Wang Yan could take out so many treasures was due to having an exceptionally strong mind.
Taking a long breath, Duobao suppressed the boiling in his heart, glanced at Wang Yan, and said gravely, "Our treasures are the same amount, does that count as a tie?"
Wang Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "No, I still have one more than you. Look, I have another treasure on my hand."
With that, Wang Yan raised his right hand, revealing an Eight-sided Crystal Gem Ring sparkling on his finger.
This was precisely Wang Yan's Starlight Ring.
"Storage Treasure!" Duobao groaned in pain.
The Storage Treasure was also a treasure, indeed more than Duobao by one.
This sent the surrounding crowd into an astonished uproar.
The several dozen treasure mountains of various sizes seemed to blind everyone; under the dazzling glow of these treasures, all thinking seemed to come to a halt.
Only now did the crowd start to exclaim.
Seeing the treasure-filled arena, everyone would imagine that Wang Yan and Duobao must have each found an ancient treasure trove, otherwise, why would there be so many treasures?
Duobao was in deep pain. He called himself Duobao due to his utmost confidence in treasures, not to mention his existence as Demon Saint, even in front of Demon Venerable, if it was purely a comparison of treasures, he was confident to win.
But unexpectedly, his forte, his pride, was defeated by Wang Yan, moreover, by only one.
Duobao gritted his teeth and said, "No, I don't accept this. You won by only one treasure, it's not valid."
Wang Yan smiled lightly and said, "Then what do you propose?"
Duobao said, "Treasure comparison is about who is more powerful. Even a thousand common treasures might not compare to one powerful treasure. Above common treasures, there are Innate Treasures, above those, Barbaric Treasures."
Wang Yan said, "And then?"
Duobao said, "I want to compare who has the stronger treasure?"
Wang Yan smiled lightly and said, "Alright."
Duobao raised his hand, picking out a single treasure from his treasure mountain, and said, "This is my most powerful treasure; just this one can compare to your thousand treasures. Your treasures don't have an Innate Treasure like this."
In Duobao's hand was a pipa, inlaid with gems, colorful rays shooting out from it, dazzling everyone.
This pipa had been pressed in the Treasure Mountain Heap; thus, nobody saw it earlier, but when taken out, everyone widened their eyes.
Because this was undeniably an Innate Treasure.
The power of an Innate Treasure was indeed not comparable to ordinary Acquired Treasure.
Though Duobao's claim that this treasure could match Wang Yan's thousand Acquired Treasures was exaggerated, it was close.
Wang Yan glanced at the treasure mountain before him and said, "Indeed, I don't have an Innate Treasure before me."
Seeing Wang Yan admit, Duobao couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Haha, although your treasures are many, their quality lacks; in this round, I win. This Grand Marshal position will be mine."
Seeing the result finally settle, everyone had mixed thoughts.
Some felt pity for Wang Yan, others were proud of Duobao, while Mozi Academy's veteran disciples were dissatisfied, some began to curse, "What use is having many treasures? Can it compare to Senior Brother's achievements?"
"I don't recognize Duobao as Grand Marshal."
But, new disciples shouted back, "A wager must be honored; a loss is a loss."
Seeing the disciples from both sides unwilling to yield, the Elders exchanged looks skeptically at this unexpected outcome.
Meanwhile, Fang Hong was both joyful and worried.
The joy was Wang Yan's defeat meant Fang Jinchun would contend with Duobao for the first place, and Fang Jinchun would certainly win, and Wang Yan would become a slave in the Fang Family, achieving his goal.
The worry was Wang Yan not being Grand Marshal; if faced against the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, who could stand out and save the day?
Just then, Wang Yan raised his hand and gestured around, the arguing disciples quieted down, eager to hear Wang Yan.
Wang Yan said, "The competition hasn't finished yet, why rush?"
At this, everyone thought Wang Yan intended to cheat, new disciples began to glare unfavorably.
Duobao's expression turned cold, "Are you trying to renege? You agreed to the rule; whoever's treasure is strongest wins."
Wang Yan nodded, "Yes, I agreed."
Duobao frowned, "Then what do you mean?"
Wang Yan said, "I only said there's no Innate Treasure in front of me, not that I don't have an Innate Treasure."
Duobao furrowed deeper, "What do you mean? You've taken out all your treasures, where else can you get more?"
Wang Yan smiled lightly, "Who said I've taken out all my treasures."
Upon Wang Yan's words, Duobao's expression changed, exclaimed, "You still have treasures?"
Little did Duobao know, what Wang Yan took out were common treasures piled in the corner of the Starlight Ring; the true treasures, Wang Yan hadn't revealed yet.
