Chapter 1906: Chapter 1906 The Bets On Ye Liuyun Snowballed
"What do you mean ’we can’t afford to lose’?" The martial practitioner at the gambling table explained with frustration, "That was Ye Liuyun’s first fight against a late-stage Fourth Realm martial practitioner, so the odds are three to one. But considering the strength of his opponent, the odds increased to five to one. We won’t change the odds just because you’re betting more."
"Is that so?" Lei Ming didn’t understand these things, so she glanced at other martial practitioners placing their bets.
Those people nodded in agreement, indicating that it was indeed the case, and that was when Lei Ming believed it.
"Well then! Imma bet all fifty-two trillion and eight hundred billion on Ye Liuyun’s winning!" Lei Ming said, pulling out all of her Interspatial Rings.
These Spirit Crystals already filled up three Interspatial Rings. An average Interspatial Ring couldn’t even fit one more crystal.
She had won forty-eight trillion in the last fight, and along with the initial principal of four trillion and eight hundred billion, she didn’t keep a single digit.
To most people, this was an astronomical amount of money.
The martial practitioners had already gotten numb to the extravagant betting of Ye Liuyun and his group.
Still, in secret, some marveled at Ye Liuyun’s confidence. The number of martial practitioners betting on Ye Liuyun’s victory was increasing as well.
The martial practitioner in charge of the gambling table was also frustrated. The counting of so many Spirit Crystals was every time more laborious, and he was forced to ask others to help him count. Even though martial practitioners could use their Divine Sense to scan, it’d consume their time and various amounts of Divine Soul Force.
"If you’re gonna bet again, you can get a promissory note instead of using Spirit Crystals. It’ll save us the effort of counting each time!" The martial practitioner kindly informed Lei Ming.
However, Lei Ming was quick to retort, "No way. How’d I know when I’ve taken all your money? If you’re out of money, Ye Liuyun’d be in the ring for nothing! Take your time and check, I’m not in a rush anyway!"
The martial practitioner was helpless and had no choice but to accept. In truth, he had no idea how long Guan Shanyue could hold out.
Fortunately, the Spirit Crystals in Lei Ming’s Interspatial Ring had not been used at all. He didn’t have to spend too much time counting the massive piles of one trillion Spirit Crystals.
So, he had no choice but to order his underlings to count, and then issue a bill to Lei Ming.
At this moment, Zhao Mingcheng also came over, placing her winning of 3.3 billion on the betting table.
"Just go ahead and bet. Mr. Ye won’t lose!" Lei Ming deliberately told her, though she was actually talking to the other martial practitioners.
Since the counting of the Spirit Crystals took a long time, it gave them more time to consider.
Seeing Ye Liuyun placing such a ruthless bet, many people also bet that Ye Liuyun would win.
The martial practitioner in charge of the betting table also reported to Guan Shanyue, "Sir, the amount of money bet on Ye Liuyun winning is too much!"
"It doesn’t matter, let them bet! Sooner or later, it’s all be ours. As long as Ye Liuyun keeps betting, there’s nothing to worry about." Guan Shanyue wasn’t worried.
He had just left and even brought a few martial practitioners of the Fifth Realm.
Under the temptation of numerous Spirit Crystals, they would rather lose face and challenge the martial practitioners of lower realms. No one could resist the temptation of Spirit Crystals after all.
These people might not be the top warriors of the Fifth Realm, but they were more than enough to fight against martial practitioners of lower realms.
Hence, as long as Ye Liuyun kept betting, Guan Shanyue believed that he would win the money back sooner or later. He did not believe that Ye Liuyun could beat martial practitioners in the late stage of the Fifth Realm.
On the battle ring, cheers erupted from the spectating martial practitioners as the battle between Ye Liuyun and Mad Thunder Palm Li Meng started.
This all happened because Ye Liuyun did not even use his sword when fighting against Li Meng. After a powerful thunder attack by Li Meng, Ye Liuyun not only escaped unscathed but also absorbed all the power of Devil Lightning.
After that, Ye Liuyun made his move, using the power of heaven and earth. Just a few strikes of it made Li Meng vomit blood and die.
The sight was somewhat unbelievable for the martial practitioners below the ring. The always mighty Li Meng had his *ss whooped by Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun collected the Interspatial Ring and virtuoso again. He felt awkward about touching the corpse, so he let the management of the battle ring take it away.
Upon realising the unfavorable situation, Guan Shanyue did not let Zhou Chen go on stage. Instead, he waited for Mr. Cunning Mind, Xie Hongyuan, to rush back and send him into the ring. The odds were set at one to three afterward.
"Mr. Cunning Mind, like his name, is full of crafty tricks. He might use external forces or resort to dirty tricks!" Zhao Mingcheng warned Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun was secretly wary as well.
As expected, Mr. Cunning Mind released a puppet and a feral beast, both at the late stages of the Fourth Realm to tackle Ye Liuyun together.
Xie Hongyuan had specially purchased the puppet and feral beast earlier to contend with Ye Liuyun.
He believed that victory would bring him hundreds of thousands of Spirit Crystals, so a little expense would be worth it. Even if he couldn’t succeed, he could return the puppet and feral beast with minimal losses.
He originally planned to buy a feral beast at the early stages of the Fifth Realm. But he found that with the same price, he could buy a feral beast and an extra puppet at the late stages of the Fourth Realm, which would give him additional assistance in future battles against foreign races.
But to Xie Hongyuan’s surprise, Ye Liuyun also released a puppet, fighting against his puppet. Then, with a knife in one hand and another launching a move with his palm, he stopped both Xie Hongyuan and his feral beast directly.
After holding on for a while, Mr. Cunning Mind’s puppet ran out of energy. It was later torn apart by Ye Liuyun’s puppet, which then turned to attack the feral beast.
At this time, Ye Liuyun’s hands were freed and he directly landed a strike, cutting Xie Hongyuan in half, not forgetting to extract his virtuoso and take his Interspatial Ring.
As for the feral beast, Ye Liuyun didn’t spare it either and killed it directly. Later, he threw it into his Spatial World for the Vermilion Bird and Brute Bull to share.
The bets on Ye Liuyun grew like a snowball. After winning the previous round, the total came to 316.8 trillion, and with the three times odds against Xie Hongyuan, the total became 1,267.2 trillion.
Guan Shanyue was about to go insane. Although he earned a lot from running the ring betting games over the years, Ye Liuyun had shaken his fortune.
"Useless! A bunch of trash!" He couldn’t help but swear.
He then immediately adjusted his strategy. Initially, there was still a martial practitioner at the early stage of the Fifth Realm, but Guan Shanyue was scared to let him go on stage. And so, he replaced that martial practitioner with another in the middle stage of the Fifth Realm.
Boos erupted instantly in the venue once the crowd found out.
"Fifth Realm ones challenging Forth Realm ones, Guan Shanyue, are you a sore loser or what?"
The martial practitioners in the audience, who had been making money from both battles with Ye Liuyun, immediately took Ye Liuyun’s side.
However, Ye Liuyun calmly asked Guan Shanyue, "What are the betting odds for this cross-stage challenge?"
"Ten... Ten to one!" Guan Shanyue answered with clenched teeth.
If he offered less, he figured not only would Ye Liuyun not agree, but the other martial practitioners would also criticise him.
"Okay, I accept!" Ye Liuyun said calmly.
"Bravo! Well done!" The martial practitioners immediately began cheering overwhelmingly in favour of Ye Liuyun.
Lei Ming, on the other side, took out a pile of Interspatial Rings to place her bets.
"I’m gonna bet all these, on Mr. Ye’s win. Let’s see if you’re gonna go broke!" Lei Ming said with a radiant smile.
Guan Shanyue’s face was grim, and his men were also silent, counting the amount at stake sulkily.
Zhao Mingcheng was a bit hesitant, but she still followed Lei Ming and placed her bet on Ye Liuyun for the win.
Most of the martial practitioners went to bet on Ye Liuyun winning, but they mostly used their just-earned profits without using their principles.
