Chapter 412 (1/2)

811'>

Standing there in his white clothing that was swaying along with the wind and completely unstained by blood, Xiang Shaoyun looked like an exalted son of the heavens. Some of the more ignorant ones among the crowd even started wondering if he was the young master from some famous organization.

Several people were silently observing Xiang Shaoyun from different directions. Each of them had some sort of pearl in hand that they had used to record the previous battle. An attentive person would be able to notice that they were all scouts of numerous powerful organizations.

These scouts were not here for information gathering. Rather, their sole task was to observe the Kings and Emperors appearing on the Bloodsin Arenas, discovering and recruiting talented individuals to their respective organizations. For Xiang Shaoyun to have attracted their attention in his first match, one could say that it was a good start.

Scorching Blood Monarch had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun would remain on the arena. A sharp glint appeared on his eyes as he thought, Good. You dare to fight on even after exhausting yourself in the previous battle? I will make sure you can't leave the arena alive!

He then quickly turned and left. He was going to get Xiang Shaoyun an even stronger opponent.

At this time, an unremarkable man walked toward the bookmaker and said, ”I will fight him.”

This man was a late fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator. His name was Yin Lihua. After signing the waiver, he leaped onto the arena. However, he could not start fighting immediately as he had to give the people below some time to place their bets.

”The payout rate is one-to-one for both of them. Place your bets,” announced the bookmaker.

The crowd started cursing, ”The previous payout was five-to-one! Why is it suddenly one-to-one now?”

”There's no helping it. This Xiang Shaoyun is too strong. Although he has been somewhat exhausted from the previous battle, this is still a fair payout rate,” said someone.

The people discussed among themselves, but very few of them actually placed a bet. Most of them were still waiting for Ugly Gambler to place his bet.

Before Ugly Gambler could do anything, Earth Skeleton declared, ”I am betting 600,000 mid-grade spirit crystals on Young Master Xiang.”

Earlier, he had done as instructed by Xiang Shaoyun and had placed a bet of 100,000 spirit crystals to win five times the amount. He was now placing all his winnings from the initial bet on Xiang Shaoyun again. It was quite a large bet.

”One mid-grade spirit crystal on the same kid,” said Ugly Gambler as he tossed a mid-grade spirit crystal onto Xiang Shaoyun's name on the counter.

Earlier, he had placed a bet of one low-grade spirit crystal. Now, he was placing a bet of one mid-grade spirit crystal. The people couldn't figure out what he had on his mind. However, some of them knew that the smaller the bet Ugly Gambler placed, the higher the chance it was for the bet to win.

In other words, Ugly Gambler was still very optimistic of Xiang Shaoyun's chance of winning. But since this was the second battle in a row, the probability of him winning would be slightly lower, hence the larger bet instead of the same one low-grade spirit crystal.

After Ugly Gambler placed his bet, a large number of people started betting on Xiang Shaoyun as well. The bookmaker paled.

Inwardly, he cursed, Looks like I will lose everything I have won this month. d.a.m.n that Ugly Gambler!

Finally, the bet was closed, and the bookmaker announced the start of the match. Yin Lihua cupped his hands and greeted Xiang Shaoyun before he directly transformed into a tiger and attacked without saying anything.

Tiger Pouncing for Food!

It was clear Yin Lihua cultivated a tiger-related battle technique. In fact, he had a decent mastery over this technique as he had reached a level he could take the form of a tiger.
