The skinny man's words stunned not only Leng Huan, but the students from the Human Emperor Palace also looked at Feng Hao in astonishment.
A hundred credits was not a small amount. Moreover, he was still a newcomer.
"He wants to compete with Leng Heng?"
Leng Huan's face was full of astonishment, and she asked again with uncertainty.
Although Feng Hao was a Heaven-level Alchemist, based on his current strength, he was no match for the bald man.
"Yes."
Under his gaze, Leng Heng nodded his head with a slightly gloomy expression.
Fenghao had always been very calm, which made him more and more uncertain, and even more worried.
This was because Feng Hao did not show any anger from the start. He did not look like someone who would do something so impulsive. If he was not a fool, then he must be confident.
If Leng Heng lost …
The corner of his mouth twitched as he thought about it.
If he lost under such circumstances, he would not have any face left. Not only that, Hell Palace would be humiliated as well.
"Oh."
Leng Huan was surprised. He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother, you don't have to hold back."
"I understand."
Leng Heng indifferently nodded his head. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he swept a glance at Fenghao, before walking towards the registration area.
"Master, what are you …"
The two students who were treating Feng Hao looked at him anxiously.
They thought that Feng Hao accepted the challenge because of his status as a Heaven-level Alchemist.
"Senior Brothers, don't worry."
Fenghao faintly smiled as the corner of his mouth curled into a slight arc. He was filled with confidence as he walked towards the registration area.
"Tsk tsk, these credits are so easy to earn …"
Xie Yandong and Long Yueguan smacked their lips as if they had not had enough.
They were already Crimson Grade students and could automatically obtain a credit every day. However, they had used up most of their credits in the past few days. Otherwise, Yan Qing and Xie Yandong would not have been able to advance to Second-Stage Mortal Sage in such a short period of time.
One hundred credits. That was the accumulation of more than three months.
"Eh, where are the bets? Could it be that no one is betting?"
Xie Yandong deliberately shouted when Feng Hao and Leng Heng were registering.
"Let's bet, let's bet! If Nine Nether Palace wins, the odds are ten to one, and if Mortal Emperor Palace wins, the odds are one to two!"
Immediately, the crowd began to clamor. Following that, many people began to place their bets.
Some of the students from the Palace of Hell had undoubtedly bet most of their credits on Leng Heng. Only a small portion of the students from the Human Emperor's Palace had bet a little on Feng Haosheng as a way to boost their morale.
In everyone's opinion, Feng Hao's chances of winning were practically zero. Otherwise, the odds wouldn't be so different.
"Let's place our bets."
Upon seeing this, Xie Yandong and the others couldn't help but let out a strange laugh. Joan Of Arc, Wan Xin, and Yan Qing also walked towards the betting area.
They couldn't refuse the free credits. Although the odds were one to two, it would at least double their credits.
"Hehe, come, bet twenty-one credits on that person from the Human Emperor's Mansion."
Long Yue Guan took out his identity jade pendant and bet all his credits on Fenghao. Following that, almost everyone in the group did the same, which attracted many astonished gazes. However, it was quickly replaced by an earth-shattering mockery.
Because they were all newcomers, others thought that they were letting their emotions affect their decisions, so they didn't think too much about it.
"We'll also bet all our credits on the Human Emperor's Mansion."
The two students who were treating Feng Hao looked at each other and also walked over to bet all their credits on Feng Hao. Although it wasn't much, only forty to fifty credits, it could be considered as a form of support for Feng Hao.
"Hehe."
Xie Yandong and the others chuckled when they saw the two of them behaving this way.
"Hmph, trying to be mysterious."
The skinny man and the others let out a heavy snort. However, they did not have any more Academic Credits to gamble. Therefore, they could only stand there angrily and stare fiercely at Xie Yandong and the others. In their hearts, they were thinking about how to deal with these despicable fellows in the Newcomer Competition.
"Five hundred credits on the Human Emperor's Mansion."
Leng Huan glanced at the few of them indifferently. She took out a sparkling jade pendant and said to the person in charge of the betting area.
Such a bold move made the bystanders involuntarily suck in a breath of air.
These 500 Merit Points could allow one to stay in the Dao Comprehension Grounds for more than half a month. It was impossible for an ordinary person to accumulate so many Merit Points. Practically all of them would only accumulate it for a few days before spending it in the Dao Comprehension Grounds.
However, his actions didn't shock Xie Yandong and the others. On the contrary, they laughed even louder as a look of pity appeared in their eyes.
'Poor kid, I wonder if he'll throw up blood when he finds out that he's going to spend all the credits that he's accumulated for so long.'
After Leng Huan walked up the ring, Feng Hao was not in a hurry to follow him. Instead, he walked to the betting area as well.
"Bet all of your credits."
Feng Hao said calmly under the surprised gaze of the person in the betting area.
"Tsk … That's at least more than four hundred credits."
Someone exclaimed when he saw Feng Hao's jade that was also sparkling with light.
None of them had expected that this newly matriculated student would be able to accumulate so many credits.
Even if a new student was promoted to the Crimson Grade, he would still be able to accumulate one credit a day. However, all the new students would focus on the Rookie Competition, so who would bother to accumulate credits?
Therefore, even Leng Huan could not help but reveal a surprised expression.
However, when they recalled Feng Hao's identity as a Heaven-Rank Alchemist, everyone had a look of realization on their faces.
It would be much easier for a Heaven-Rank Alchemist to obtain credits. There would be fights everywhere every day, and no one would be able to avoid getting injured. Therefore, the source of credits would naturally be more extensive compared to ordinary students.
However, there were some people who revealed doubtful expressions. Therefore, after Feng Hao placed his bet, many people from the Human Emperor's Mansion placed their bets again. A few of them even bet all of their assets on Feng Hao.
When Feng Hao entered the ring, the bets stopped.
In an instant, the gazes of the entire area were drawn over. After asking around, these people found out that this was a challenge from a new student from the Nine Nether Mansion to a new student from the Human Emperor's Mansion. In an instant, they could not help but reveal looks of anticipation.
It could be said that this battle would determine whether the Human Emperor's Mansion would be at the bottom of the Rookie Competition.
