Chapter 508 - Outrageous Bet (1/2)

“So if I bet 1 trillion, I will get 64 trillion in return?! That’s insane! Anyway, since the bookmarker agency is directly under the regent, it’s better not to make such a huge bet.”

“I don’t think the regent will mind if I bet 100 billion.”

“I will bet 100 billion too.”

One hundred billion might be considered a small bet for a B-tier. Most of them were rich and those who hunted regularly at the Northern Abyss knew Qin Feng was the real deal.

So when numerous B-tiers bet on Qin Feng at the same time, the money had snowballed into a total of 10 trillion. The bookmarker would need to pay out 640 trillion if Qin Feng did win the tournament in the end.

It was an amount not even Shang Han could afford.

The manager of the arena was baffled when he saw the outrageous betting amount. “This is weird. The ones who made a bet were all B-tiers. Do they know something that I don’t?” It’s not odd for a B-tier to bet that kind of money. But why on earth were they all betting on the same contestant?

“Check out this Qin Feng from the North Sea, now!”

However, the manager was unable to gather any relevant information after some B-tier users purposely shut down the news regarding Qin Feng within the network.

“Maybe it’s nothing. Or maybe it’s some sort of match manipulation.” Either way, this was extremely abnormal.

‘Should I inform Regent Shang about this?’ The manager was contemplating but he quickly decided against the idea. The absence of Shang Han clearly showed that she had zero interest in a tournament involving only D-tiers and below.

‘There would be no issue as long as this person doesn’t emerge as the champion.’ The manager made up his mind and quietly rearranged two names on the second-day contest.

Indeed, Shang Han did not show up for the rest of the day. She is a very busy ruler. There was no point in wasting her precious time watching some lowly D-tier battle that took place every year.

In terms of recruitment, she had entrusted the task to Yuan Hao. He was responsible to absorb new blood from the tournament with great potential.

Thus, Qin Feng’s true identity was not revealed on the first day. He did not stay at the venue after his match but went straight to the Northern Abyss.

He used the same method as the day before to hunt down another B-tier.

Yang Pi wondered whether Qin Feng would one day exterminate all the beasts inside the abyss.

Though it would be an encouraging development, Yang Pi was not entirely happy about it.

“At this rate, you would have enough crystal cores to reach B-tier in less than two days.”

“Yea. It’s easier than I thought!” Bai Li replied.

“We have been through some hardships, after all. We are much stronger than before now.” Qin Feng’s current power was on par with that of before he was reborn. He relied more on his Absorption Ability to devour high-tier beasts then, which made him an ordinary A-tier.

Now. he was a hero-class C-tier.

“You would have to come on your own tomorrow. The competition might last the entire day,” Qin Feng said.

“No problem.” Bai Li was no longer the naïve fox that knew nothing about the human world. She could take care of herself now.

Qin Feng arrived at the arena early the next day. After the first day, three contestants from North Sea were eliminated while none from the Sun state had survived.

Some were capable but did not have luck on their site.

More unlucky contestants would be kicked out on the second day.

The morning round would yield 40 winners, while half of them would then be sent home in the afternoon. The final day competition would then decide the ten finalists of the tournament.

Qin Feng’s first match of the day was against an E-tier. He sparred with his opponent for a while before putting him down for good. He did not wish to attract unwanted attention.

As the number of matches was reduced, only five battles were held at the same time in the afternoon. Qin Feng was once again drawn to fight in the first round of the last 40.

“Oh? My opponent is Han Jun?” Qin Feng smiled. He was apparently pleased with the draw. Him meeting Han Jun here meant that Zhou Hao and Jin Fei would have one less fierce competitor on their path to the final ten.
