CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 164: A 10% FAILURE RATE? ISN’T THIS THE SAME AS SEEKING DEATH?

Lu Zhuoyan muttered something under his breath, then tossed the three Copper Coins.

The Copper Coins fell to the ground.

Shi Nian stared at them for a while.

"See anything?" Lu Zhuoyan raised an eyebrow.

Shi Nian chuckled, flipped one of the Copper Coins, then suddenly covered it with her hand: "Little Uncle-Master, guess which side is facing up?"

She had been holding back her urge to play with the Copper Coins for so long!

She had wanted to do this last time and finally got her chance.

Lu Zhuoyan looked at Shi Nian with an expressionless face.

Shi Nian coughed lightly: "Little Uncle-Master, just tell me, I don’t understand it anyway."

Lu Zhuoyan was silent for a moment, then said: "Next time, stay away from my Copper Coins."

His Copper Coins should not be defiled like this.

"Alright, alright." Shi Nian agreed readily.

Lu Zhuoyan didn’t quite trust her, but still slowly said: "I divined the comparison of strength between you and the Demon Clan Saintess. The divination shows that in a one-on-one battle, your probability of winning is 90%."

Divination never foretells a 100% certainty.

After all, even the Heavenly Dao has its imperfections, and those imperfections are where uncertainties lie.

Even if one were to divine the outcome between Lin Bai and a newborn baby, it would never show a 100% certainty.

Because the future can never be predicted with 100% accuracy.

Therefore, Shi Nian’s 90% chance of victory was basically a sure win.

Shi Nian, upon hearing this, exclaimed in surprise: "A 90% chance of victory?"

Lu Zhuoyan nodded.

With such high odds, Shi Nian should finally be at ease, right?

The next moment, Shi Nian exclaimed: "A whole 10% chance of failure! Little Uncle-Master! How is this any different from courting death?!"

Lu Zhuoyan: "..."

"No, no, we need to be even more cautious." Shi Nian said with great concern: "Little Uncle-Master, you’ve got lots of treasures, do you have any powerful Magic Treasures that I could borrow for a bit?"

Lu Zhuoyan, observing Shi Nian’s worried appearance, said emotionlessly: "Scram."

Shi Nian: "???"

What’s going on!

Is Little Uncle-Master really that stingy?

She was just borrowing a few Magic Treasures; did he really need to tell her to scram?

With no other choice, Shi Nian reluctantly returned to her room, filled with worries.

Only a 90% chance of winning.

Is it worth taking such a big risk?

"Xiaotong." Shi Nian asked Xiaotong: "Don’t you love Spirit Stones? If I give you Spirit Stones, can you help me out if I’m in danger?"

Xiaotong: "...What danger could you possibly encounter?"

Sister, oh sister!

You need to reach level 100 to ascend to the Immortal World.

It’s not because you’re weak at level 92.

Basically, at this level, you’re already ruling the Mortal World.

The reason to keep stacking levels to 100 is to store up energy for the opening of the path to immortality.

In any case, Xiaotong felt quite helpless.

With its Host being so foolish, even if it told the raw truth, others probably wouldn’t believe it.

"Just tell me if you can help or not," Shi Nian persisted.

Xiaotong: "... I can, I guess."

"Okay. After all, you are a ’statistics child.’ With your help, a 0.5% increase in the chance of winning should be possible, right?" Shi Nian mumbled to herself.

That would bring the chance of victory up to 90.5%!

Xiaotong: "..."

0.5%??? Is that all it’s worth?

"Inside the Beast Taming Bag, I also have ’Baldy.’" Shi Nian continued her deliberation: "Baldy has a skill for escaping, so adding another 0.5% is not too much, right?"

But that’s still only 91%!

Such a big risk!

Shi Nian sent Lin Bai a private message with a face full of sorrow: "Sword Immortal, Little Uncle-Master calculated it for me, and my chances of victory are only 90%. Even with some additional preparations, it’s only 91%. The risk is still too high."

Lin Bai stared at the private message.

After a while, he gave a direct order: "Go tell the Demon Clan that we agree to reopen the Immortal Demon Battlefield."

"Sword Immortal, I’m really scared." Shi Nian continued: "I’m only 16 years old, and next month is my birthday. I could have lived to a ripe old age. If I carelessly fall in battle, what a loss that would be. Oh, by the way, my birthday is on the seventh day of the sixth lunar month. Remember to send me a gift. And another thing, as the top figure of the Human Clan, your birthday gift better not disgrace your reputation."

Lin Bai continued to gaze thoughtfully.

How should I put it?

He was wondering.

The people from Ling Tian Peak, how good must their temper be?

Otherwise, how could they have endured until today?

"Sword Immortal, do you have any of those life-saving magic treasures?" Shi Nian continued, "Preferably the kind that is completely immune to attacks from the Mahayana realm. If I had such a treasure, my chances of winning could definitely increase by another one percent."

A defense magical treasure completely immune to Mahayana attacks...

If such a treasure existed, he himself would have taken it and wiped out all nine Demon Lords, right?!

Lin Bai really didn’t want to chat with Shi Nian; talking to this person could infuriate him to death.

But there was no choice, he still had to talk.

Lin Bai replied leisurely: "I’ve just notified the others and agreed to the reopening of the Immortal Demon Battlefield."

Shi Nian: "???? Heavens! How could you make such a decision? With only a 91% chance of winning, can’t you delay it a bit longer?"

Lin Bai: "... The time should be set soon. The Demon Clan has great confidence in their Saintess, and as soon as we showed willingness, the battlefield will probably reopen straight away. You better get ready."

Shi Nian: "!!! I didn’t think you were this kind of Sword Immortal! When have I, Shi Nian, ever offended you? Why do you want to send me to my death? With just a mere 91% chance of victory, you actually made the decision on your own, you are simply..."

Shi Nian rambled on.

Lin Bai, feeling helpless, said: "For your birthday, I will send a generous gift."

Shi Nian: "... Okie dokie. Thank you, Sword Immortal, you’re awesome. Love ya, xoxo."

Lin Bai sighed.

He was now thinking about something.

These people from Ling Tian Peak... are they all in good mental health?

First Lu Zhuoyan, now another oddball like Shi Nian.

Are they living happily?

Or maybe...

Lin Bai suddenly felt alarmed.

Could it be that everyone from Ling Tian Peak is of this style?

He had heard of this Ling Tian, aside from being a little lovesick, just a naive sweetie, but with such a junior brother and such a disciple, how could he be a naive sweetie!!

Lin Bai silently warned himself.

Although he is number one in the Cultivation World.

But in the future, when meeting people from Ling Tian Peak, he must be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious.

Shi Nian didn’t know that with her own efforts, she had harmed the reputation of the entire Ling Tian Peak.

She was currently engrossed in fantasizing about her birthday present.

When Sword Immortals give gifts, they certainly won’t disappoint.

Wealth.

After this birthday celebration, she must be on her way to riches.

Lalalalala.

Happy for a while.

Shi Nian started to worry again.

That minute 91% chance of victory, is there any room for improvement?

She still needs to prepare properly.

The next day.

The sunlight was just right.

When Shi Nian went out, she happened to run into Ran Bi and Yin Yu, who were inseparable.

Shi Nian greeted Ran Bi enthusiastically: "Holy Daughter, last night’s barbecue was so delicious! I’ve saved a bit in my storage bag, want some?"

Ran Bi looked at Shi Nian coldly: "No need. You keep it for yourself."

Shi Nian was immediately touched: "Holy Daughter, you’re so kind to me, alright then, I’ll keep on grilling and eating it today."

Ran Bi sneered, looking at Shi Nian as if she were looking at a corpse.

As the Holy Daughter.

She was definitely going to reach the level of Demon Lord in the future.

Just wait.

Once she breaks through to the next realm, she’ll make this female demon’s life worse than death.

But for now, Ran Bi didn’t have the time to deal with Shi Nian.

She had received a message last night, saying that the Human Clan had agreed to fight in the Immortal Demon Battlefield.

She had to leave Mei City now.

After coming out of the battlefield, she would return to settle the score with this female demon!
