Chapter 175: Courageous Betting

Lu Zheng woke up on a comfortable bed as his wristband flashed multiple times. After sensing the information inside the wristband, he had a quick bath and left for the Battle Arena.

At the Battle Arena, loud cheers could be heard as the spectator's ran wild over the previous fight. A single woman had easily defeated two opponents at her cultivation base. Her battle strength was so high that none of the two was able to touch her at all.

Of course, many were also jubilant due to what they had gained from betting.

"The odds were against Amanda and the return ratio rose from one to one to one to five. Thankfully, I was able to take advantage of that and earn four hundred thousand vital stones. Hehehe, I have struck it rich!"

"All you know is money. Can you believe how Amanda ended the match? Five thousand dazzling sword lights erupted from her sword and struck those two. If not for the Battle Arena's rules, they would most likely be dead"

"I wish she would notice me"

"…"

Meanwhile, sitting at a corner were Qing Shou Jian and his squad mates. They frequently came to the Battle Arena and this time, they were here to watch Lu Zheng.

"Brother Lu Zheng's fight is next…"

"Do we really bet everything?"

Qing Shou Jian had a bright smile on his face: "Of course!"

When Qing Shou Jian reported everything to Copper Totem Master, the latter was beyond happy. Lu Zheng had injured Ni Tao but had helped gather gentle face orchids and killed off Ethan's squad, there wasn't any qualm between them again.

Copper Totem Master even rewarded the Moon Lake Squad with twenty thousand vital stones each. Qing Shou Jian's position as Commander was as firm as ever.

But now, Qing Shou Jian wanted to bet all that money on Lu Zheng. Although he did not know why Lu Zheng's return ratio had risen to one to eight, he knew his battle strength. Not even an ordinary Acquisition realm expert could make him falter.

If all went all, they would get their money back with a hundred and sixty thousand vital stones. One could say that Lu Zheng was their money making machine.

As everyone placed their bets, the woman in charge of the fight began to countdown to zero. By the count of zero, both Lu Zheng and Ye Bai Er walked onto the arena.

…..

Somewhere in Eastern Sea, on a small secluded island where rain fell ceaselessly, a man and a beast were surrounded by numerous rank six and ran seven White Eyed Crocodiles.

The White Eyed Crocodiles stared at the two people warily. They had forcefully invaded their home and were killing them off. Many rank seven White Eyed Crocodile corpses laid on the ground already.

Naturally, the two were Hong Haoyu and Themur.

"So many beasts! The issue of food is now settled" Themur laughed as he gazed hungrily at the White Eyed Crocodiles.

"Leave them to me" Hong Haoyu's eyes shined ruthlessly.

Seeing his eerie gaze, the White Eyed Crocodiles took a step back in fear. A strong aura radiated from Hong Haoyu's body.

Unable to bear the pressure anymore, a White Eyed Crocodile charged towards Hong Haoyu. Immediately, the rest of the beasts charged at him.

Despite so many rank six and rank seven beasts racing towards him, Hong Haoyu wasn't flustered at all. Smiling coldly, he let out a growl and waved his arm.

Instantly, the air chilled over as the raindrops turned into frozen drops of ice. The many rank six and rank seven White Eyed Crocodiles turned into motionless ice, almost resembling art.

Sighing, Themur said: "At least, we'll have no problems with food in the near future"

"Hmm. We will leave in time to warn Lu Zheng about what's coming"
