"Refund, refund, we demand compensation."
"Refund, refund, return the money we bet."
Seeing that the match was about to begin, the audience became more and more rowdy. Star Moon City was so big, and their arena was also very big. When tens of thousands of spectators made a ruckus, the commotion was not small at all.
"Silence!"
Just as everyone was making a ruckus, a dignified voice suddenly sounded out, scaring everyone into silence. That old man was Elder Ji of the Star Moon Hall. He had the Cultivation of the Powang Realm. If he got angry, it would not be a joke.
"What are you arguing about? I'll naturally refund your money when the time comes."
The staff of the arena were also very strong, promising that if Du Feng did not enter the arena after the time limit, they would refund everyone's bet money. However, the tickets were not refundable. As long as they entered the door, it would be equivalent to spending money. Actually, he was also very anxious in his heart. He thought to himself, just how unreliable was this challenger? That was a Challenge Ticket that was exchanged for a hundred thousand contribution points. How could he not come?
The Star Moon Hall had already promoted him, and the one he was challenging was the famous Helian Akagi. If he didn't want to participate, he should at least say hello. After a while, he would have to wait for the right time. It was really anxious.
"Do you think this Du Feng just found out who Helian Akagi is? He probably chose blindly before."
"I think it's possible. Choosing Helian Akagi instead of Li Dan is purely courting death."
Because they were stunned by Elder Ji, the audience did not dare to make a ruckus and could only discuss in a low voice. They guessed half right. Du Feng really did not know who Helian Akagi was. In any case, it didn't matter. He was ranked 997th, how powerful could he be? It couldn't be some hidden expert that was even stronger than the top ten of the Earth Board, right?
Actually, in theory, participating in the Earth Board competition required at least Heaven Seizing Realm Cultivation. Li Dan and Helian Akagi were special cases, fighting their way into the Earth Board with the peak of the Void Sea Realm Level 9 Cultivation. The thousandth and 997th place cultivators were at the Void Sea Realm, but the 999th and 998th place cultivators were at the Heaven Seizing Realm. In terms of potential, the two of them were much higher than the other two.
It was also because of this that whenever Li Dan or Helian Akagi participated in a competition, it would attract the attention of Star-Moon City's residents. Even martial artists from other cities in Thousand Moon Country would think of ways to come and watch the battle. The new challenger, Du Feng, was even more amazing. Cultivation was only at the 7th level of the Void Sea Realm, yet he dared to participate in the Earth List Tournament. Furthermore, he was challenging Helian Akagi, who was known for his ferocity.
"Look, that person is here."
"Who's here? What's with the fuss?"
Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, Du Feng staggered in from the door. Tonight, because he knew about the things related to Yun City, he was in a good mood and drank a little too much.
"Brother Du, be careful!"
Du Feng was staggering. When he entered the door, he accidentally tripped over the threshold and almost fell. His gentle touch caused a huge uproar.
"What are you doing? Competing while drunk?"
"Are you kidding me? This is irresponsible to the audience. We demand a refund."
Many of the audience, especially those who bet on Du Feng, lost their confidence when they saw him drunk like that. What kind of joke was this? He couldn't even stand properly after drinking. How was he going to compete? This wasn't just taking their money as a joke, it was also taking their lives as a joke.
"Brother, don't even think about it. When have you ever seen Star-Moon Hall spit out money? Hurry up and bet more on Helian Akagi."
"Yes, yes, yes. We have to win back the money we lost."
The martial artists suddenly came to a realization. Since Du Feng was going to lose, why not bet more on Helian Akagi? Although it was a situation of one against two, as long as they could win, it was fine.
"50,000 blue crystals, I bet on Helian Akagi's victory!"
"100,000 blue crystals, I bet on Helian Akagi's victory!"
Not everyone in Star-Moon City was rich. There were also many solo martial artists, and they weren't that wealthy. Their individual bets weren't high, but fortunately, there were many of them.
"2,000 purple crystals, I bet on Helian Akagi's victory!"
"3,000 purple crystals, I bet on Helian Akagi's victory!"
After the martial artists who were short on money finished betting on Helian Akagi's victory, the martial artists who had some money on hand also started to bet. When they saw Du Feng drunk like that, they also chose to bet on Helian Akagi's victory. In just a short while, the bets on Helian Akagi were more than ten times those on Du Feng. Furthermore, there were still people increasing their bets.
"Look, Elder, if this goes on …"
The staff member of the arena looked at Elder Ji worriedly. If everyone bet on Helian Akagi and he won, then the Star-Moon Hall would have to fork out the difference. They would lose a lot in such a big competition.
"Young man, don't be impatient. Continue watching."
Elder Ji nodded and told the staff member not to be nervous. Since the Star-Moon Hall was able to host the Earth Ranking Competition in Star-Moon City, they definitely had some confidence.
"15,000 purple crystals, I bet on Du Feng's victory!"
At this moment, Pi Weiwei made his move. His companions really helped to gather 10,000 purple crystals. For some reason, his father, who was usually stingy, actually took out 5,000 purple crystals and asked Pi Weiwei to help him bet on Du Feng's victory.
"Wow, it's someone from House Pi. This rascal is really rich."
Young masters usually spent money extravagantly, but it was only in bits and pieces. It wasn't easy to take out 15,000 purple crystals all at once. 15,000 purple crystals was equivalent to 1.5 million blue crystals. It was indeed frightening when compared to the 50,000 or 100,000 blue crystals that ordinary martial artists bet.
"10,000 blue crystals, I bet on Du Feng's victory!"
Other than Pi Weiwei, there was actually someone who bet heavily on Du Feng. This person looked ordinary, and no one recognized him. However, the drunken Du Feng recognized the person's identity. If he remembered correctly, this person was someone from Situ Lanlan's side in Rain City. It seemed like Situ Lanlan already knew about his competition tonight and specially sent someone to support him.
"Miss, do you think that Du Feng can win?"
At this moment, in a dimly lit secret room, an old man was standing respectfully beside Situ Lanlan. He was afraid that Du Feng would lose. Of course, he wasn't worried about the 10,000 purple crystals, but that no one would make True Origin Cannons for the Situ Family in the future. It was known that the nation's weapon had a great impact on the family's power.
"Do we need to …"
"No need. I believe he can win."
