"Time's up."
Seeing that the incense had burned out, the Hall Master of the Martial Arts Hall immediately announced the end of the first round.
When the pressure disappeared, the disciples who had yet to enter the ring sighed.
Some of them were even lying on the ground in regret because of the pressure just now.
Compared to the people below the ring, the disciples at the edge of the Martial Arts Hall were much more open-minded.
In their opinion, they were just here to be bystanders.
Their purpose was naturally to watch the competition.
"Look, the person in the middle of the ring is standing up."
"He … he … he's fine. How is this possible?"
"Something's wrong. This person must have a secret."
“.....。”
Just when everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Chen, the Martial Arts Hall Master's voice sounded.
"The second round, the ring battle."
"Rings 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 will draw lots to determine the first place."
"As for the first and tenth rings, the ring master will directly defend the ring."
As the Martial Arts Hall Master's voice fell, the whole place was in an uproar.
"Who are the ring masters of the first and tenth rings? I'm so envious. "
Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
Although his voice was soft, the ring was not big.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Jiang Chen with a strange expression.
"Is this kid pretending to be stupid?"
"Who cares. With his current state, I really want to be the first wheel."
"That's right. It's only fair to crush him early and return to the normal ring battle."
“.....”
Jiang Chen was baffled as he listened to the whispers by his ear.
"Senior Brother Jiang, it's you, it's you!"
At this moment, Xu Feng ran over and looked at Jiang Chen worriedly.
"Me?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Jiang Chen looked at Xu Feng in confusion.
"Look at the ring number."
Xu Feng pointed to the corner of the ring, where a cross was written.
"This is the tenth ring."
"Then the ring master … is it me?"
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded. Since when had he become the arena lord?
"It's too late to regret now."
"Haha, everyone, no matter who it is in the first round, go easy on him. After all, it's not easy for him to sit in the center of the arena."
"Indeed, we're all brothers of the same sect. In the future, we'll see each other all the time."
"Hahahaha!"
“.....。”
When the surrounding people saw Jiang Chen's appearance, they all burst into laughter.
"Senior Brother Jiang, you managed to snatch the center of the arena, but you're seriously injured now."
"Why don't you … forfeit?"
Xu Feng hesitated for a moment before advising.
"Junior Brother Xu, are you saying that the person sitting in the center of the arena is the arena master?"
"Does this mean that we'll have to face all the people who just entered the arena?"
Jiang Chen ignored Xu Feng's words and asked again.
"Senior Brother Jiang, I forgot that you didn't know the rules. If I had known, I would have told you in advance."
Xu Feng was vexed.
"Xu Feng, what are you whispering to him about?"
"That's right, that's right. Since he's the arena master, he should at least fight in the arena!"
"Haha, there aren't many arena masters in our sect's once-in-a-decade competition."
"I just don't know how long this junior brother can last."
"Why don't we … open the bets!"
“.....”
At first, everyone's attention was on Jiang Chen, but for some reason, someone suggested opening the bets, and everyone's attention was diverted.
"I was just joking. You guys didn't take it seriously, did you?"
Ling Chengfeng saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Joking? That's not a funny joke. "
"That's right. We have to open the bets."
"It's you. You'll be the banker."
"Quick, quick. Everyone, place your bets."
"The tenth arena master is taking turns to fight. The odds for the first battle are one to ten. One to ten."
"Just passing by. If you miss the chance to make money, you won't get another chance in the future."
“....”
Ling Chengfeng, who was forced to become the banker, was full of resentment.
Everyone could tell that Jiang Chen was seriously injured, sitting in the center of the arena.
There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he would lose the first battle.
If he were to be the banker, wouldn't that mean that he would lose everything as well?
"Xu Feng, help me place the bets."
Seeing this, Jiang Chen hurried Xu Feng.
"Don't worry. I'll bet on you losing. How about a hundred thousand taels?"
Xu Feng immediately nodded.
"Huh?"
Jiang Chen looked at Xu Feng speechlessly.
"Not enough?"
"Senior Brother Jiang is indeed a ruthless person. How much do you want to bet on yourself losing?"
Xu Feng looked at Jiang Chen's eyes and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Did I say I'll lose?"
Jiang Chen rubbed his head.
His head hurt!!!
"Senior Brother Jiang, it's not shameful to make money."
"In your current state? Do you want to bet on yourself winning? "
Xu Feng glanced at Jiang Chen, who was in a sorry state.
"This is all I have. A hundred thousand taels. I'll bet on myself winning."
Too lazy to talk nonsense with Xu Feng, Jiang Chen directly took out all the banknotes he had on him.
"Senior Brother Jiang, are you sure?"
Xu Feng looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
"Follow me and you won't lose."
Jiang Chen said confidently.
The pressure in the arena was a kind of pain for others.
But for Jiang Chen, it was a holy land for cultivation.
When he was two steps away from the center of the arena, his Ultimate Hard Body Skill broke through first and reached the seventh level of body refining.
Of course, Devouring Blood Divine Art and Primordial Demon Vigor Technique also improved rapidly. Now, one was at the early stage of body refining sixth level, and the other was at the middle stage of body refining fifth level.
Looking at the system panel!
Cheat: Jiang Chen!
Ultimate Hard Body Skill: Body refining seventh level (40/100)
Devouring Blood Divine Art: Body refining sixth level (5/100)
Primordial Demon Vigor Technique: Body refining fifth level (48/100)
Knife Drawing Technique: Mastery fifth level (18/100)
Da Yi Archery Technique: Third level (Sharp Arrow, Sharp Arrow, Rapid Arrow)
Shattering Fist: Level Three Advanced (20/100)
Wind and Cloud Kick: Seventh level of perfection (14/100)
Just as Jiang Chen was looking at his system, Xu Feng also brought Jiang Chen's money to Ling Chengfeng.
"Are you sure you want to bet on Jiang Chen to win this 100,000 taels?"
Ling Chengfeng looked at Xu Feng strangely.
It was because he just saw that Jiang Chen seemed to be taking care of the person in front of him.
Otherwise, with his strength of body refining sixth level, how could he walk up to the arena?
It was because he didn't consume much energy in the beginning and left all his energy in the arena in the end.
"Senior Brother, can't he bet on himself to win?"
In fact, Xu Feng didn't think Jiang Chen would win. After all, the pressure came from the Connate Essence Qi Realm Hall Master.
Moreover, he held on for so long. If it were him, he would have fainted long ago, not to mention the rest of the arena battle.
"Damn it, I bet on Jiang Chen to lose. Won't I lose to death?"
"No, I'm the banker. That's why I'm the butcher."
"He bet on himself to win. I don't believe he'll cheat himself."
Xu Feng listened to Ling Chengfeng who was mumbling to himself. What he said made sense. Should he bet his money to Jiang Chen as well?
