70: A money-bringing boy?
As the dust settled, the situation on the scene was revealed.
The stone pillars in front of the Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros were all shattered, and even the obsidian covering its body was falling off in pieces.
However, the Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros seemed to be mostly unharmed.
Lightning, after all, did not have much effect on the Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros; it only needed to withstand the armor and the impact.
Coupled with its strength being two ranks higher, it was not intimidated at all.
Instead, it was the Thunder War Elephant that was suffering; it swayed as if drunk, half-dazed from the collision.
How could the Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros pass up such a good opportunity? First came a rhinoceros roar, a sonic attack that arrived first.
Then, it used its horn to launch a fierce charge.
At the same time, this charge also carried the energy it had just absorbed.
Creating a one plus one is greater than two effect.
Given identical Aptitude, the two extra ranks became a crushing factor.
The Thunder War Elephant did not collapse with a bang, but it was pushed off the combat platform step by step, unable to resist.
“Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros, wins!”
Huo Ming blocked the force of the Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros's attack and simultaneously announced Chen Fei's victory.
The audience below was instantly dazed:
“Lost... the ever-victorious general, the Thunder War Elephant, actually lost.”
“Argh! This Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros is too strong! What other beast pet of the same rank could beat it?”
“It's practically invincible; Cheng Yunhe's loss wasn't undeserved!”
“...”
Despite being incredibly unwilling, Cheng Yunhe still spoke up: “I concede!”
As soon as those words came out, it seemed to drain all his strength.
He had a third pet with decent Aptitude, but it wasn't stronger than the Thunder War Elephant.
In a guaranteed losing situation, there was no need to make a fool of himself.
Those who had placed bets looked at the tickets in their hands, wanting to cry but having no tears.
What happened to the guaranteed victory for Cheng Yunhe?
They're all liars!
Chen Fei put away his chair, suddenly feeling a bit bored, as if he were bullying a small child.
He took the senluo grass from Huo Ming's hand and simultaneously reclaimed the 16 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
How sweet!
On the other side, the bookie was truly hurting!
The Spirit Stones from the bets combined weren't enough to pay Chen Fei; he had to pay out of his own pocket.
It practically cost him half his life!
There was no other way; he couldn't just not pay.
So many people were watching, and after all, this was a betting arena officially established by the Imperial City.
If he didn't pay, someone would come looking for him the next day.
After feeding the senluo grass to Little Gu, Chen Fei prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lin stuck to him again like a dog-skin plaster.
“Wait a minute, I want to bet with you again!”
Hearing the voice, everyone around looked over: Hehe, more excitement to watch!
“Since you have the strength of Tier 3 Rank 3, do you dare to fight me!”
Cheng Yunhe couldn't beat Chen Fei because he lost to Corpse Control, but when had Shen Lin ever suffered a loss? If he didn't win back this round, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Chen Fei could not be bothered to respond; boring, truly boring.
To his surprise, Shen Lin pulled out his bargaining chips: “I noticed long ago that you've been looking for Soul System Spirit Treasures.
I have a piece of Soul-Suppressing Iron in my hand, its value no lower than senluo grass. Well? Do you want to bet or not!”
【Soul-Suppressing Iron
Quality: Level 4
It has a natural suppressive effect on Souls, suitable for refining Spirit Treasures that suppress Souls.
Note: Combined with 100,000 slaughter value, extracting the Soul-suppressing effect of the Soul-Suppressing Iron can improve the “Soul Prison Seal” skill.】
Oh! There's such a good thing?
Chen Fei gave Shen Lin a few more looks; if nothing else, he really did have a lot of good things.
It would be a shame not to take such a good item.
Since he's prepared to be a Wealth-Delivering Boy, then let him!
After pretending to hesitate, he spoke: “I indeed cannot refuse, so I accept.
However, I have one requirement: it must be a group beast battle.”
Chen Fei only proposed this restriction because he didn't want to waste time.
But in Shen Lin's eyes, the opponent lacked confidence and thus didn't dare to do a single-beast battle.
Thus, this gave Shen Lin a bit more confidence.
“Fine, as you say!”
“Uncle Huo, please act as a witness again.”
Huo Ming took the Spirit Stones, a beaming smile on his face: “Of course, of course!”
How could he refuse such a good thing?
“Come, come, come! The betting pool is open, odds are 1:1.”
Having learned his lesson from last time, the bookie had also grown wise and didn't dare set the odds too high.
Who knew if Chen Fei had any more trump cards? If he summoned an even more outrageous beast later, the bookie wouldn't be able to pay even if he sold himself.
“I bet on Shen Lin winning; there's no reason for this guy to lose!”
“Exactly. Two S-rank beasts, the first-year ace of the Imperial City's Lingchuan Academy—how could he lose?”
“Is Lingchuan Academy very strong?”
“Not really; it's only ranked third in the Imperial City, but it's already better than the vast majority of academies.”
“Tier 3 Rank 3 strength is indeed very strong.”
“...”
After they had all placed their bets, Chen Fei walked over with a smile: “I just made a bit, so I'll put it all on the line now. Anyway, it's no loss if I lose.”
“Hmm, ten bags in total, 20 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, betting on myself to win.”
These 20 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were already his entire net worth.
The bookie's scalp tingled.
Again?
He had a bad feeling, but he gritted his teeth and accepted it anyway.
There was no reason for him to refuse a bet from someone else.
Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined!
Huo Ming's voice rang out at the right time: “Arena 8 is now free. You two, get on stage! The rules are the same as before; I won't repeat them.”
Since it was a group beast battle, Shen Lin didn't hold back and summoned his Three Beasts.
First was an A-rank Aptitude Fragrant Fox Beast.
This beast belonged to a rare Scent System.
It could control and change the scents in the air, causing discomfort to a Yao Beast's internal organs, or even abilities like hormonal disruption.
If it weren't for its fragility and its focus on being a support type, it could have reached S-rank Aptitude.
The second one, the Solar Flame Flood Dragon...
