201: One against a hundred

"Does anyone want to come up and challenge me?"

"I'll use two billion mid-grade spirit stones as the stake. You only need to put up ten million mid-grade spirit stones, and two of you can challenge me at once."

Chu Feng retrieved the spirit stones he had won and asked the people below the stage with a smile.

Although he hadn't displayed overwhelming strength just now, he had, after all, defeated the Bare-chested Big Man.

If he didn't do this, he worried that cultivators weaker than the Bare-chested Big Man wouldn't dare to step onto the stage.

In that case, his plan to fleece spirit stones would fall through.

"What! Ten million for a chance at two billion, and two people can go together?"

Hearing the ridiculously generous conditions Chu Feng offered.

All the Venerable Realm and Saint Realm cultivators below the stage focused their attention on the Heavenly Venerate Arena.

Such a massive stake was rare even on the Saint Emperor Peak arena.

Yet now, Chu Feng, a Heavenly Venerate, had put up two billion mid-grade spirit stones as a stake and allowed two people to challenge him at once—this was simply too arrogant.

One must understand that two against one doesn't simply result in one plus one equals two.

Chu Feng had already expended so much effort fighting the Bare-chested Big Man; there was a high chance of winning if two people fought him.

"I'll go, I'll go! Are there any brothers who will join me? Willing to risk twenty million to win two billion!"

"I'm in, I'm in! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! I refuse to believe that two people can't defeat just one of him."

"Exactly! If we beat him, we get two billion mid-grade spirit stones! That's an amount many Saint Realm Experts can't even produce."

Immediately, a hundred Peak Heavenly Venerable cultivators scrambled onto the arena, all eager to challenge Chu Feng.

The cultivators from other realms watched, completely stunned.

"I say, everyone, so many of you challenging just me, isn't this a bit much?"

Looking at the hundred-plus Peak Heavenly Venerable cultivators on the stage, Chu Feng's expression was also slightly taken aback.

He had previously worried that no one would come up to challenge him, but who knew over a hundred had rushed up at once? It seemed the temptation of two billion mid-grade spirit stones was truly immense.

"Little brother, choose us! We were the first two to step onto the stage."

"That's right, little brother. These people have no manners! They clearly saw us come up, yet they still followed. They have no shame."

At this moment, two elderly Peak Heavenly Venerable men in the crowd stepped directly in front of everyone else, afraid that others would snatch their chance to get rich.

Faced with the actions of these two, the other cultivators were unwilling to stand for it and mocked the pair.

"What kind of bullshit logic is that? Just because you came up first means you get to challenge first? If I saw your mom before your dad did, does that mean I get to marry her first?"

"Exactly! Who gets to challenge is the little brother's business. Who are you to point fingers?"

"Scram! Get out of our way!"

The hundred-plus Peak Heavenly Venerable cultivators glared menacingly at the two elders demanding the first challenge.

Their posture suggested that if the two elders didn't retreat, they would be beaten into pig heads and thrown off the stage.

"You... you guys!!"

Being mocked by so many people, the two elders were also filled with rage.

However, since they were only two people, confronting over a hundred others would only lead to their own loss, so they obediently retreated back into the crowd.

Seeing over a hundred people arguing over who should challenge first, nearly breaking into a fight.

Chu Feng smiled, raised his hand, and motioned for the group to quiet down.

"Hey, hey, everyone, don't fight."

"I just said that it was a bit much for so many of you to challenge me, but I never said it was impossible. As long as each of you puts up ten million mid-grade spirit stones, I will accept the challenge from all of you."

Since over a hundred people had come onto the stage at once, he couldn't be bothered to harvest them two by two.

He might as well catch them all in one net and call it a perfect day's work.

"What! You want to fight over a hundred of us who are in the same realm simultaneously? Little brother, are you sure you mean that?"

"Little brother, don't speak carelessly; we will take you seriously."

"That's right, little brother, you shouldn't show off on the arena. You still have time to regret it now."

Hearing that Chu Feng wanted to fight over a hundred of them from the same realm simultaneously.

The group was stunned at first, then burst into excited chatter.

Although each person would only receive ten million spirit stones after defeating Chu Feng, this was a guaranteed victory!

After all, over a hundred people of the same realm fighting one person—even the Holy Son of the Central State Holy Land would be beaten into a pulp.

"Of course, it's true. Those who have spirit stones, quickly take them out," Chu Feng replied calmly.

"Alright, alright. Since little brother is so confident, we will gladly experience little brother's strength."

"That's right, little brother. If you can defeat over a hundred of us by yourself, we will admit defeat wholeheartedly."

Seeing that Chu Feng still hadn't changed his mind.

The hundred-plus people no longer hesitated, taking out storage bags containing ten million mid-grade spirit stones and throwing them to Chu Feng.

Once Chu Feng received the spirit stones, the crowd broke out in excited smiles..

According to the arena rules, accepting the spirit stones meant the challenge was officially formed; even if Chu Feng didn't fight, he would still lose that amount of spirit stones.

They were guaranteed to win today.

Looking at the hundred-plus storage bags filled with spirit stones in his hand.

Chu Feng smiled faintly and tossed them, along with his own Storage Ring, to the referee below the stage.

Receiving these items.

The referee glanced curiously at Chu Feng, then checked the quantity of spirit stones inside.

After confirming the amount, he flew onto the stage and announced loudly.

"On the Heavenly Venerate Arena, a two billion mid-grade spirit stone gambling match is formed! This little brother challenges one against a hundred! If he wins, he takes all the spirit stones from the challengers; if he loses, he forfeits two billion mid-grade spirit stones!"

After speaking, the referee didn't linger on the stage and flew off the arena.

Although he stood below the arena, his gaze was fixed tightly on the Heavenly Venerate Arena, wanting to see exactly what strength Chu Feng possessed to dare accept a challenge from so many people.

Meanwhile, the other cultivators below, hearing the referee announce that the gambling match was formed.

All stared intently at the Heavenly Venerate Arena, letting out gasps of astonishment.

"Holy crap! This young man is too arrogant, isn't he? Even if he concealed his strength, he can't possibly defeat over a hundred cultivators of the same realm."

"Exactly! Even the Holy Son of an Imperial Son Holy Land wouldn't have this strength. Now that the match is formed, he has no chance to back out."

"Sigh, whose little kid is this? Even if you have nowhere to put your spirit stones, you shouldn't waste them like this."

The cultivators watching below the six arenas looked at Chu Feng with expressions of frustration.

Chu Feng's actions were essentially giving away spirit stones.

Of course, what they hated most was that Chu Feng wasn't giving these spirit stones to them. After all, who wouldn't want to receive so many spirit stones for free?

Night Owl and the others looked at Chu Feng on the stage, their faces full of smiles.

They knew that Chu Feng's move was a guaranteed success; over a billion mid-grade spirit stones were already in hand.
