22: After nine consecutive victories, the duel arena is getting anxious!
"Ghost Reaper, three consecutive victories!"
The referee looked at Li Canglan deeply.
Although he was reluctant in his heart, he had no choice but to announce that Ghost Reaper had won.
The audience who had been paying attention to the octagon cage appeared momentarily stunned.
Then, they erupted into thunderous applause!
"Amazing! Ghost Reaper actually managed to defeat the Nine-tailed Fox!"
"This was a contestant carefully selected by the Duel Arena; Ghost Reaper is truly unexpected."
"After this battle, I'm afraid no one will be able to underestimate Ghost Reaper's strength anymore!"
However, where there is joy, there is naturally disappointment.
"Brothers, don't just stand there talking; I bet twenty thousand on the Nine-tailed Fox to win, and now it's all down the drain!"
"Who told you to be greedy for such low odds? Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice, that's exactly what happens to you!"
Guan Zhenyue, who was not conspicuous in the crowd, smiled faintly, "Old He's judgment was indeed correct."
With three bets, he had earned nearly five million in pocket money.
It was worth bringing Li Canglan to visit this place personally.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure appearing at the entrance.
Guan Zhenyue's eyes lit up instantly; Old He had actually come!
Amidst the gazes of the crowd, Li Canglan walked down from the octagon cage.
Retrieving his phone, the bank notification sounded.
His balance soared from the previous twelve thousand to one hundred forty-nine thousand!
"Sure enough, fighting is the real path to easy money!"
Compared to his previous monthly relief fund of three thousand and the three thousand earned from odd jobs.
This one hour of income was enough to cover two years of his previous work!
Li Canglan did not waste a moment of time.
After enjoying the free treatment provided by the Duel Arena, Li Canglan went to the training room to continue practicing Thunderbolt Slash.
He also took the opportunity to wait for the start of the next match.
In the Duel Arena manager's office.
A middle-aged man with a hooked nose and gloomy eyes stared fixedly at the screen in front of him.
He did not miss a single detail of Ghost Reaper's battle.
"This guy's attack power and resistance to strikes are both very strong."
"And his ability to adapt during combat is also terrifyingly good!"
After watching it ten times, the Duel Arena manager reached a headache-inducing conclusion.
That is, among the current Body Tempering Realm Martial Apprentice in the Duel Arena.
I am afraid that no one can reliably defeat Ghost Reaper!
The Martial Skill mastered by a Body Tempering Realm Martial Apprentice is limited, and it is impossible to specifically counter him.
This also means that he can only watch as Ghost Reaper keeps winning!
However, on the Duel Arena hall screen, Ghost Reaper's nickname was already scrolling.
It kept showing that he was being matched with an opponent.
If they didn't take action, I'm afraid they would be questioned by others!
"Someone, call Lone Wolf back for me!"
Lone Wolf is the strongest Body Tempering Realm Martial Apprentice among those specifically trained by the Duel Arena.
If even Lone Wolf has no way to deal with him, then they can only watch Ghost Reaper pick up money in the arena.
The subordinate who entered the room lowered his head, "Manager, what should we do before Lone Wolf returns?"
"Wheel battles!"
The Duel Arena manager's gaze was gloomy; he must have those Body Tempering Realm Late Stage Martial Apprentices consume Ghost Reaper's stamina as much as possible.
Only after Lone Wolf returns will they have a chance to defeat Ghost Reaper!
The rules set by the Duel Arena are not just about receiving a 1% commission after winning three matches.
After winning six, ten, or even more matches, the commission percentage will rise!
By then, they would lose hundreds of thousands in revenue per match.
For the Duel Arena, this is absolutely unacceptable!
...
"Ghost Reaper, it is your turn to go on stage."
Hearing the staff's call, Li Canglan stopped his training of Thunderbolt Slash again.
He felt that if he had just one more hour, his proficiency in Thunderbolt Slash could reach Minor Achievement!
This is the super-high efficiency brought about by S-rank Elemental Sensitivity.
The fourth battle was against another well-known Body Tempering Realm Late Stage fighter in the Duel Arena.
From the very beginning, this person intended to adopt hit-and-run tactics.
He did not seek victory, only to consume Ghost Reaper's stamina.
However, when Li Canglan unleashed his fastest speed, he had no room to dodge at all.
He was slashed in the chest by Li Canglan's blade!
If he hadn't blocked with his sword across his chest in a rush.
I am afraid that this slash would have killed or severely injured him!
The audience who had been paying attention to the octagon cage had long since grown accustomed to this.
Since Ghost Reaper won the third match, they knew that Ghost Reaper would definitely be unstoppable!
This time, just as Li Canglan walked down from the octagon cage.
He saw staff members coming to his side.
"Mr. Ghost Reaper, we have already matched your fifth opponent for you, what do you think..."
Li Canglan looked at the staff thoughtfully.
Are they not even giving him rest time this time?
However, this battle just now did not waste too much of his energy.
Since the Duel Arena wants to send him money, he has no reason to refuse!
"Let's go."
Seeing Ghost Reaper return, the gamblers who were paying attention to him cheered again one after another.
"Bet on Ghost Reaper!"
"Ghost Reaper must win!"
The fifth opponent still failed to cause too much obstruction for Li Canglan.
Dozens of seconds later, the referee's voice sounded.
"Ghost Reaper, five consecutive victories!"
In the next few battles, the Duel Arena still did not give Li Canglan too many opportunities to rest.
Six consecutive victories!
Seven consecutive victories!
Eight consecutive victories!
Nine consecutive victories!
In less than ten minutes, Li Canglan secured nine consecutive victories!
Among them, a few people had caused him some trouble at the beginning.
But Li Canglan's visibly fast progress allowed him to find flaws and quickly defeat these people.
Those who are thirty or forty years old and still stuck in the Body Tempering Realm Late Stage.
None of them are true geniuses.
When facing a Genius of Li Canglan's level, they would only pale in comparison!
After six wins, the commission he received reached 2%!
More and more gamblers bet their entire net worth on him.
Although the odds were low, very few people could refuse a victory delivered to their doorstep!
Li Canglan himself also placed all the money he won on his own victory.
He had severely fleeced the Duel Arena!
"This time, I am afraid the Duel Arena really cannot sit still."
Guan Zhenyue laughed, "If Little Li wins one more match, that is a 3% profit."
"The Duel Arena's income has to support such a large venue and thousands of staff, which is not that easy."
Old He also rarely showed a smile on his face,
"Who can say anything about the money this kid won with his own ability?"
Guan Zhenyue looked at the hall of the Duel Arena staff,
"I am afraid some people are not willing."
...
After the ninth match, the staff did not immediately come to find Li Canglan.
Li Canglan was happy to be idle and continued to hone Thunderbolt Slash.
Under countless practices, Li Canglan realized.
The official authorities making Thunderbolt Slash a popular Martial Skill probably had deep meaning!
Otherwise, according to the habit of most people who will never leave the city in their lifetime.
They could completely choose a fist technique that strengthens the body as a popular Martial Skill.
Instead of this kind of sword technique that cannot be used at all in daily life.
