chapter 15 Bet ===

"Fierce Beast Tower? You think you can get through the Fierce Beast Tower? You must be joking!"
Just as Tom Ye was muttering to himself and preparing to leave with the Gale Movements, suddenly, a mocking voice sounded behind him.
Tom Ye turned around and was surprised to find Charles Zhao standing in front of him.
Turns out, this annoying guy had not left yet.
"I'm going to the Fierce Beast Tower. What has it got to do with you?"
Tom Ye sneered and didn't bother with Charles Zhao, continuing to move forward.
With these words, Charles Zhao's face turned extremely ugly. "What does it have to do with you?" In reality, it indeed had nothing to do with Charles Zhao, but he didn't want to see Tom Ye acting so arrogantly and completely disregarding him.
"Charles Zhao, this kid is really audacious. We'd love to teach him a lesson on your behalf."
Beside Charles Zhao, several outer disciples proposed.
They all hoped to help Charles Zhao teach Tom Ye a lesson, increasing their bond in the process.
"This is the Martial Arts Centre. If you dare strike first, I'd be happy to fight you."
Tom Ye lightly smiled, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He turned to Charles Zhao and the others.
Upon hearing this, Charles Zhao and his companions had unpleasant expressions, and the disciples who had earlier spoken of teaching Tom Ye were now speechless.
Fighting was prohibited in the Martial Arts Centre. If they caused damage, they wouldn't be able to leave with any martial arts skills.
"You wretch, don't get too smug. One day, you'll regret this."
Charles Zhao pointed at Tom Ye, shouting angrily.
"Heh, Charles Zhao, don't get so worked up. This loser, he thinks he can enter the Fierce Beast Tower? That's simply delusional. Even you only got through the first level back then."
Charles Zhao's friends, looking at him so angry, tried to console him and then looked at Tom Ye with disdain.
"The beasts on the first level of the Fierce Beast Tower are third-tier, but their strength is comparable to a level-four warrior. The second level has level-four beasts, their strength rivalling a fifth-tier warrior."
"Even someone with my strength only managed to get through the first level. As for you guys, not to mention, you've been stuck at the same cultivation level for five years, you useless bunch."
Charles Zhao shook his head, having to admit this fact. Because, indeed, it was very difficult to get through the Fierce Beast Tower. One needed to have extremely strong abilities to pass.
Even though he was a level-four warrior, he only managed to get through the first level.
"You can't even get through the second level of the Fierce Beast Tower, and yet you have the nerve to talk? Charles Zhao, you really are useless. It's been five years, and you still can't pass the second level."
Tom Ye waved his hand, showing a disgusted expression, and took two steps back, shaking his head in exasperation.
"Damn it, I've already passed one level, and that's quite impressive."
"What do you think that place is? If you go in, it's practically suicide. As soon as you enter the first level, you'll be killed by the beasts!"
Charles Zhao's eyes were fiery, shouting at Tom Ye furiously.
Being looked down upon by Tom Ye, a guy he considered a loser, was something he couldn't bear.
It felt like a deep humiliation, as if failing to pass the second level of the Fierce Beast Tower was a truly shameful thing.
He was sure that Tom Ye couldn't even get through the first level, so going to the Fierce Beast Tower would certainly mean death.
That's why he really hoped Tom Ye would go and challenge the tower, sacrificing his life in the process.
"A Qi Condensing Pill?"
Tom Ye was momentarily taken aback, feeling a stir of excitement upon hearing this. What he needed most now were cultivation resources. If he could get his hands on the Qi Condensing Pill from Charles Zhao, his progress would be even faster.
"Only one? Well, I'll agree then."
Tom Ye pondered for a moment, then agreed directly to Charles Zhao.
"Just one? Is that not enough for you? If you can pass the first level, I'll give you one. And if you can pass the second level, you'll get two."
"You're so arrogant, show me how you can get through. As long as you succeed, the Qi Condensing Pills are guaranteed to be yours."
Charles Zhao challenged Tom Ye again, wearing a self-assured smile.
As long as Tom Ye dared to agree, he was confident that Tom Ye would die in the Fierce Beast Tower.
"When I go back, I'll practice this movement technique. I'll go challenge the Fierce Beast Tower. I'll let you know when the time comes, so rest assured. Just remember to bring the Qi Condensing Pills."
Tom Ye sneered, finishing his words and leaving the area.
Now, he was at the third-tier of cultivation, comparable to a level-four warrior. And if he mastered the Gale Movement, his strength would advance even further.
There shouldn't be any problem in getting through the first level of the Fierce Beast Tower.
Watching Tom Ye disappear from view, the disciples beside Charles Zhao asked him.
"Charles Zhao, do you need us to eliminate this kid? He's really too arrogant."
Charles Zhao shook his head, a glint of coldness in his eyes.
"No need. I want to see how capable he really is. If he dares invite me, I'll definitely go spectate."
"If, by any chance, he can't pass the first level of the Fierce Beast Tower, I'll make sure he leaves empty-handed."
After saying this, Charles Zhao left with his disciples.
In his eyes, no matter how impressive Tom Ye's cultivation realm was, it was only at the third level, which is still insufficient for him to get through the Fierce Beast Tower. After all, even with his level-four cultivation, he only barely managed to pass the first level, and he was heavily injured in the process.
Tom Ye was even weaker than him, how could he possibly clear the tower?
He just couldn't stand it. Tom Ye was so arrogant, he wanted the latter to see reality clearly and understand how weak he truly was.
After leaving the Martial Arts Centre, Tom Ye returned to the dormitory and went to visit Lucy Luo’s residence.
Last time, Tom Ye was almost deceived by Lily Zhao and nearly fell prey to her schemes. Thanks to Lucy Luo’s help, he narrowly escaped danger.
However, on that day, Lucy Luo had revealed herself in front of Lily Zhao.
He was worried that Lucy Luo might face retaliation and wanted to know if she was safe now.
