Chapter 1820 This is my lifelong ideal
At this point, Wei Wei had no room to retreat. He bit the bullet and said, "Although Ye Bufan is a newly enrolled Outer Courtyard student, he is incredibly strong and even defeated my younger brother. It's only natural for me, as his older brother, to challenge him."
Fan Xiaofeng followed up, "That's right, everyone has the right to challenge others."
"But Junior Brother Ye also has the right to refuse," Chu Lingxi turned to Ye Bufan and said, "Junior Brother, don't agree. Just refuse them directly."
"Okay, I'll listen to Senior Sister," Ye Bufan said with a grin, looking at Fan Xiaofeng and the others, "Did you hear that? I'm a newly enrolled student, so I can completely refuse you."
"Ye Bufan!" Wei Wei's eyes blazed with anger as he furiously shouted, "Ye, this has nothing to do with being a student. This is a battle between men. If you're a man, accept my challenge."
Duan Wei followed, "That's right, as a man, you always have to prove yourself, right? Otherwise, what right do you have to be with the most beautiful woman in our Academy?
You wouldn't want to be a kept man forever, would you?"
How could Ye Bufan not know what this guy was up to? He was just trying the old trick of provocation, aiming to make him fall for it and accept their challenge.
He said with a grin, "How did you know that finding a beautiful woman to support me is my lifelong dream?"
"You…"
Seeing that this guy wouldn't fall for it, Fan Xiaofeng and the others were all incredibly annoyed, yet helpless.
Duan Wei secretly glanced at Lu Xueman and Chu Lingxi, hoping these two exquisite women would despise this shameless fellow, and ideally, provoke him into accepting their challenge out of anger.
The result, however, disappointed him. Both women remained calm, their gazes clear, showing no hint of disdain.
"Damn it, why would such excellent women fall for such a shameless guy?"
Duan Wei cursed inwardly. How could he know that, for Lu Xueman and Chu Lingxi, the other party was an excellent doctor and an outstanding Alchemist?
With these two identities, even if he was useless in martial arts, he would absolutely be considered a young talent, enough to roam the entire Kunlun Continent.
After all, a person's energy is limited; one cannot be expected to excel in every aspect.
Meanwhile, Wei Wei, eager to avenge his younger brother, was naturally unwilling to miss this challenge.
He stared at Ye Bufan and shouted, "In front of so many people, can't you have a little masculine dignity? Are you going to let all the students in the Academy look down on you?"

The crowd here had already gathered into a human sea; almost all the students in the entire Academy were watching. He hoped that the other party, in a moment of impulse, would accept his challenge.
The result disappointed him again. Ye Bufan shrugged indifferently, "It's fine. I just need to do my own thing. How others see me is their business. What does it have to do with me?"
"You…"
Seeing that provocation was useless, Wei Wei changed his approach and said, "As long as you are willing to accept the challenge, I will put up 10 million gold coins as a wager.
If you win, all this money is yours. If you lose, I won't take a single cent."
After he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in an uproar. In all the years Cangfeng Academy had held challenges, such an unfair wager had never appeared, and the most crucial part was that he had proposed it himself.
"Gold coins? Do you think I'm someone who lacks money?"
Ye Bufan's face still held that infuriating smile. "The 100 million gold coins Senior Brother Fan gave me yesterday, my wife uses them as pocket money. I haven't even finished spending them yet, so why would I care about your small sum of 10 million?"
"Uh…"
After he finished speaking, Fan Xiaofeng's face turned ashen. He knew that those 100 million gold coins had left him bankrupt.
The other party had taken advantage and then acted smug, even showing it off and claiming he had given it. It was simply infuriating.
But with Lu Xueman standing nearby, even though he was seething with anger, he dared not show any reaction.
"I…" Wei Wei was unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth, "You just arrived at Cangfeng Academy, you must be short on fire spirit coins, right?
As long as you accept my challenge, I'm willing to put up 1,000 fire spirit coins as a wager. If you win, they're all yours. If you lose, I still won't take a single cent."
"fire spirit coins?"
Ye Bufan raised his eyebrows. fire spirit coins were quite attractive to him; everyone around him could use them, and they would benefit him in the future.
Seeing his change in expression, Chu Lingxi quickly called out, "Don't agree! He's just trying to lure you into a trap."
"Senior Sister Chu, don't worry. Am I the kind of person who would change his stance for 1,000 fire spirit coins?"
Just when everyone thought Ye Bufan would refuse again, they saw him extend two fingers: "At least 2,000 fire spirit coins, otherwise, no deal!"
"Uh…"
Everyone present

Their eyeballs instantly shattered all over the ground. No one had expected him to make such a demand.
After a brief silence, the scene erupted in an uproar.
"Is this guy crazy? A mere Nascent Soul Initial Stage actually dares to accept a Nascent Soul Peak challenge…"
"This guy is too greedy, isn't he? 2,000 fire spirit coins are good, but he needs to consider if he has the strength first…"
"It's over. It really is true that people die for wealth. Brother Wei is the strongest student in the Middle Courtyard, and it's said he's about to enter the Inner Courtyard. How can an Outer Courtyard student possibly contend with him…?"
No one present thought Ye Bufan would win. They all felt he was blinded by greed and completely overestimating himself.
Facing this sudden change, Wei Wei was first stunned, then overjoyed.
As long as the other party accepted his terms, the amount of the wager didn't matter. Anyway, he couldn't possibly lose in the end; he would win it all back.
"Alright, 2,000 it is!" He agreed without hesitation.
Chu Lingxi said anxiously, "No, Junior Brother Ye, you can't agree to him! You're only Nascent Soul Initial Stage, how could you possibly be his opponent? You won't get any of those fire spirit coins back."
Lu Xueman just stood by and watched, not speaking to stop him. She felt that this man must have his reasons.
Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "Senior Sister Chu, how will we know if we don't try? That's a whole 2,000 fire spirit coins; it's not a small number."
"Since you've agreed, let's go to the arena!"
Wei Wei was extremely eager, fearing that Ye Bufan would go back on his word under the other party's persuasion.
Once they were on the arena and the betting agreement was signed, with the Academy as a witness, the other party wouldn't be able to back out.
Cangfeng Academy, as the largest martial arts academy in Tianfeng Empire, had arenas everywhere, and there was one right in the center of the plaza.
"Okay, but before we go to the arena, I need to go to the latrine first."
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he rushed into a nearby latrine, appearing extremely urgent.
The crowd present was first stunned, then burst into laughter.
"What's wrong with this guy? Why is he going to the toilet at this time? Could he have peed his pants from fright?"
"It's normal to be scared. After all, Senior Brother Wei is the best in the Middle Courtyard…"
"If you ask me, this guy is just too scared. He must have wet his pants from fright…"
Everyone mocked Ye Bufan's retreating figure, not a single person believing he could win this wager.
