Chapter 141: Great Jade Hermit Crab, Die! (3rd update, 10,000 words, please subscribe)

In less than a blink of an eye, the ugly woman in a pink dress had acquired a large number of betting slips for Jiang Chen's championship victory at a 90% discount, filling a plastic bag.

After collecting them, he stuffed them all into his Storage Seashell and, eager to leave, turned and quickly disappeared into the crowd of students.

In the audience, a handsome middle-aged man in a suit and shining leather shoes, bearing some resemblance to Yan Mengmeng, was sitting in a corner, puffing on a cigar and secretly chuckling to himself.

Yan Yulong was extremely happy today!

He felt that today was definitely his lucky day!

Originally, Jiang Chen's outstanding performance made Yan Yulong quite uncomfortable. Because there was no suspense in the outcome, everyone else bet on Jiang Chen to win.

This greatly reduced his earnings, allowing him to only make a small profit.

Of course, losing was impossible. As more people bet on Jiang Chen, his odds kept decreasing, and as the bookmaker, he also took a commission.

But as the bonus round began, that little fellow from the Zhao Clan of Changshan suddenly rose to prominence, soaring to the top. Yan Yulong's mouth almost twisted from smiling, he was ecstatic!

Because at this moment, most of the bets in the entire pool were on Jiang Chen to win the championship!

The number of people betting on Zhao Ziyi to win was average, so if Zhao Ziyi won, Yan Yulong would immediately make a huge profit!

Just as Yan Yulong was sitting in his seat, happily calculating his earnings, a subordinate suddenly approached him: "Boss, someone in the audience is buying up a large number of betting slips for Jiang Chen's championship victory."

"Huh?" Yan Yulong was stunned, thinking he had misheard, until his subordinate repeated it twice.

"Who is it?"

"Unclear. The other party used a disguise skill and has a high cultivation level, so I can't see through it."

"How much are they buying for, and how?"

"They're buying everything at a 90% discount."

"Go call Elder Zhou. The two of you keep an eye on him!"

"Okay!"

Yan Yulong took a deep puff of his cigar, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen's screen on the Sky Eye monitor.

This was too unusual!

The situation on the field was very clear at this moment. Zhao Ziyi had already bravely secured first place, while Jiang Chen was still at a disadvantage, unable to defeat his enemy.

It was obvious that Zhao Ziyi had firmly taken first place, so why would anyone still be buying betting slips for Jiang Chen's championship victory?

This wasn't normal!

Too much money with nowhere to spend it?

Mentally unstable?

Yan Yulong was a shrewd businessman, and at this time, those present in the audience were all prominent figures in Lingnan Province. Yan Yulong didn't believe anyone would be so foolish as to throw money into the sea.

"Could it be..."

At this moment, Yan Yulong suddenly looked up sharply, the cigar in his hand frozen in mid-air!

An ominous thought flashed through his mind!

"Damn it, could it be that Jiang Chen also has a trump card?"

"And that person frantically buying betting slips for Jiang Chen's championship victory knows Jiang Chen has a trump card, and even knows what it is?"

As this thought emerged, Yan Yulong immediately jumped up from his seat!

No way, no way, if it's really like this... "Boss!"

Just then, the subordinate quickly returned, panting: "We lost him! That person suddenly disappeared, and even Elder Zhou didn't react in time!"

Damn it, Yan Yulong almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: "How many betting slips for Jiang Chen's championship victory did the other party buy?"

"A lot, a whole bag full."

Yan Yulong took several frantic puffs of his cigar, but found he still couldn't calm down!!!

...Underwater, in front of the Transcendent Battlefield.

Jiang Chen was simultaneously directing Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun to fight the Great Jade Hermit Crab, while occasionally glancing at the barrier behind them, where a large number of curious spectators were watching with great interest as the six prodigies bravely tackled the bonus round.

After several glances, Jiang Chen finally saw a familiar figure—Nangong Yan squeezed through the crowd and gave Jiang Chen an OK gesture.

The moment he saw this gesture, Jiang Chen's lips slowly curved into a smile.

Then, he pushed off the seabed and suddenly charged towards the Great Jade Hermit Crab, forcefully entering the battle!

Jiang Chen's abnormality immediately shocked everyone!

"Huh? What is Jiang Chen doing?"

"Why did Jiang Chen charge directly at the Great Jade Hermit Crab?"

"Beast Tamers are physically weak... Wait, no, Jiang Chen is from the Refining System, he's the Headmaster's personal disciple!"

"Damn it, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it!"

"Yeah, from the start of the battle until now, Jiang Chen hasn't activated his Refining System form; it's always been his two pet beasts fighting!"

"That's not right, is it? During the College Entrance Examination, Jiang Chen had only just entered the Second Layer of Iron Flesh not long ago. How could he possibly deal with the Great Jade Hermit Crab with that little Refining System cultivation? So it's normal for him not to participate in the battle personally!"

Zhao Ziyi, who had just finished killing a Vajra Fish, was exhausted and resting to heal his injuries. Hearing the discussions, he couldn't help but look towards Jiang Chen.

However, at that sight, Zhao Ziyi was stunned!

All the students present were equally stunned!

Everyone's mouths hung wide open in disbelief, so wide that you could almost fit a duck egg in them!

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang!"

On the battlefield, the moment Jiang Chen charged towards the Great Jade Hermit Crab, his body suddenly swelled dramatically!

His black combat suit was like a rapidly fermenting loaf of bread, violently expanding!

Seeing that his combat suit, made of beast hide, was about to tear, Jiang Chen simply ripped off his clothes himself!

Jiang Chen's physique surged, his height instantly growing from 1.8 meters to 2.6 meters, a head taller than Zhao Ziyi had been earlier!

His muscles also swelled further, his upper body exposed, revealing a golden, shimmering physique with smooth muscle lines, masculine power, and a sense of strength!

His training pants on his lower body were also stretched to the limit, the pant legs almost tearing.

Jiang Chen's entire skeleton, muscles, and physique all enlarged proportionally, like a divine general descended from heaven. A breathtaking aura of majesty suddenly swept out from Jiang Chen's body!!

A scene similar to Zhao Ziyi's appeared again, except Jiang Chen had become a Golden Giant, while Zhao Ziyi was a silver giant.

However, everyone immediately noticed upon comparison that Jiang Chen's transformation effect was clearly more powerful than Zhao Ziyi's.

His physique was more robust, his muscles stronger, and his appearance was even more striking!

An indescribable, masculine and handsome aura of male hormones wildly emanated from Jiang Chen's body!

"Bang!"

After his transformation, Jiang Chen stomped his left foot on the seabed, causing the seabed to crack and form a half-meter deep pit.

And as soon as the pit appeared, Jiang Chen had already transformed into a leaping tiger, blasting through the seawater, his magnificent golden body charging towards the Great Jade Hermit Crab!

Jiang Chen's sudden appearance clearly startled the Great Jade Hermit Crab. The Great Jade Hermit Crab immediately raised its giant pincer to clamp Jiang Chen, while the Black-Striped Sea Conch also unleashed a sound wave attack and a psychic attack!

"Chu Yun!"

"Squeak squeak!"

The Lighthouse Guardian instantly fell upon Jiang Chen, blocking the Black-Striped Sea Conch's sound wave and psychic attacks.

And facing the Great Jade Hermit Crab's pincer, which was as large as a water vat, Jiang Chen's spine instantly tensed like a bowstring, and then a violent force immediately transmitted through his arm,Penetrateing through each segment!

"Bang!" Jiang Chen's fist was like lightning, smashing down on the Great Jade Hermit Crab's pincer!

"Boom!!!"

The surrounding seawater seemed to explode, a piercing sonic boom sounded, and a visible shockwave rolled outwards!

And what was most astonishing was that the Great Jade Hermit Crab's pincer, as large as a water vat and incredibly hard, now let out a "crack" and split open with a huge fissure!

Jiang Chen had just unleashed a powerful punch, and his left fist followed immediately!

"Bang bang bang!" The seawater exploded, and in less than a blink of an eye, Jiang Chen unleashed more than a dozen consecutive punches, his golden fists, as large as millstones, raining down like a storm on the Great Jade Hermit Crab!!

Rolling dust and smoke spread, slowly dissipating after a long while.

And in the silent gaze of the crowd, the Great Jade Hermit Crab, with its hard shell, was now shattered and pulped, completely reduced to an unrecognizable mass of flesh!

Silence!

Everyone was silent!

To kill a Great Jade Hermit Crab, a Transcendent Late-stage creature with leader bloodline and decent defense, with just his bare fists!

Jiang Chen, are you... are you even human?
