Su Chen spent all his money, which surprised the countless people around him.

“This kid has bet all his money? He’s foolishly brave! I’m afraid he doesn’t have the slightest concept of money!”

“I told you that this kid has no inklings of the ropes. He probably stole the money from home, didn’t he?”

“It’s all over! Other people could not get Young Master Guo’s help through begging, but this kid choose not to follow Young Master Guo’s advice? I’m really f*cking speechless!”

Countless voices were raised in discussion as if they wanted to curse the young boy to death on the spot.

Many looked at Su Chen as if they were looking at a helpless case.

Some impatient people even pointed straight at his nose and scolded him.

Young Master Guo had already made it so clear. He was just short of raising the boy’s hand and teaching him how to bet.

In the end, he still dared to bet his money on Meng Xin?

They were just speechless! Towards such a brainless creature, they could only be speechless!

Almost all of them looked at Su Chen with a hint of anger.

Even Young Master Guo’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

He didn’t expect that this kid who was not even 18 years old would not do as he said.

Since this student was dressed like this, he was definitely not someone of great wealth or status.

As such, the other party probably had not participated in the bet with the money he brought just for fun, but to earn money.

He had clearly explained it so clearly and analyzed all the situations, so why didn’t this kid listen to him?

Young Master Guo couldn’t understand!

Su Chen’s outrageous actions in even betting attracted the attention of some special people.

In the arena’s office, a big man in a robe with two small mustaches frowned and looked at Su Chen in the surveillance camera in surprise, “Did Young Master Guo really help him just because he’s a student of Binhai First High?”

The attendant beside him nodded with a flattering smile and handed a piece of A4 paper to his boss.

“This kid is actually participating in the martial artist duel? This is f*cking ridiculous! He’s so thin and scrawny, I’m even afraid that his legs will be broken by a gust of wind! What is he trying to do?” The bearded man was like an audience watching a show. He looked at Su Chen’s outrageous actions in confusion and cursed.

On the other side, in a VIP lounge, the tall, burly man with blond hair was laughing.

At the same time, he looked at the other person sitting on the sofa. He laughed so hard that he was out of breath, but he still forced himself to say, “Brother Zhang, you don’t know this, but the one I told you about before, the brat who wanted to challenge the weeping corpse bird, he’s the one who spent all his money in the first bet!”

The “Brother Zhang” as addressed by the blonde man was Zhang Tong, who thought that the weeping corpse bird was too weak and wanted to change his opponent.

At this time, Zhang Tong was sitting on the sofa, his eyes full of emotion. He stared at Su Chen who was shown on the screen, and said after a while, “There’s no way he can defeat the weeping corpse bird. Even if the weeping corpse bird is tortured, its strength is definitely not something that an ordinary C-grade martial artist can fight against, unless his talent… No, I know all the students in Binhai First High with talents of the B grade and above. There has never been a person named Su Chen! It seems that this kid is simply ignorant. ”

The blonde man’s smile grew even wider when he heard Zhang Tong’s serious analysis. Even his two underlings behind him covered their mouths and snickered.

“Brother Zhang, let me tell you. That kid gave tens of thousands of Yuan to the staff just to get into the duel. Don’t you think he’s a fool? Hahaha …”

…

In front of the arena, the voice of the staff in charge of the bet rang out, “The bet has been closed. Please wait for the duel to end for the outcome!”

In the sky above the arena, the host’s impassioned voice also sounded “Let’s welcome our first contestant, a martial artist with a B-grade talent in Equipment Combat Technique, Meng Xin! And our other contestant, Tang An, who has Sonic the Hedgehog’s Run! There seems to be a clear gap between our two contestants in this match. Therefore, let’s wait and see how the weaker party will defeat the enemy!”

At the same time, the two martial artists who had stepped onto the arena immediately noticed something strange.

[You are in the arena. You need to pay 7 blood-qi points as toll!]

[You are in the arena. You need to pay 4 blood-qi points as toll!]

Both Meng Xin and Tang An were speechless.

“What’s going on? Weren’t we already charged a fee for registration? Why are you still collecting fees now?”

“Something’s wrong… Why did my blood-qi points get deducted? I suddenly feel so weak… What the hell is this? Why does this arena forcibly snatch our blood-qi points?”

The two of them were like thieves who had been robbed, not knowing whether to call the police or not.

“This… Could this be a newly-added effect of the arena? Only those of us who are strong will be shackled as such?”

Meng Xin’s words caught the host’s attention.

Yesterday, this strange phenomenon had already happened.

The people sitting in the office had no care for matters like this though. As long as the duels could continue and money could be earned, everything was fine.

As for small things like supernatural events and ghosts, couldn’t a host handle them?

The host followed Meng Xin’s lead and pretended to be calm as he explained, “That’s right, this is the new negative effect of the arena. It was specially designed to increase the difficulty of the duel! The effect will be lifted after the duel…”

These words also attracted the attention of the other martial artist on the arena.

Tang An was well aware that if they were to compare their strength, he couldn’t possibly win against Meng Xin.

When he had been given such an opponent, he had already given up.

This was because he had some understanding of Meng Xin, and he knew that the other party’s talent was of a much higher grade than his own.

If they were to really fight, he would definitely not be his opponent!

But now, Tang An had different thoughts.

Meng Xin’s words made him notice the changes in his body, and it also gave him a new idea.

“If he’s not wrong, my body became weak because of the new effect added to the arena. The stronger the person, the stronger the debuff! This means…” Tang An suddenly grinned. Through his analysis, he seemed to have found a way to win!

The newly added debuff in the arena was the key to his victory over someone stronger than him!

While Meng Xin was still in shock, Tang An suddenly moved, using his talent and rushing toward his opponent!

His talent was related to speed, to begin with, and now that both of them had been weakened, his speed was even more precious!

“Success or failure will depend on this!” Tang An clenched his jaw and unleashed his body’s functions to the extreme.

With the support of his talent, his figure had completely turned into an afterimage!

In a breath’s time, he had already arrived in front of Meng Xin with a ferocious aura!

“Fatal! One hit!” Tang An shouted. His right hand turned into a hand chop that stabbed towards the enemy’s throat.

With his speed, even if it was just a hand chop, he could still display extremely powerful strength.

If his attack had landed on his opponent’s throat, even if Meng Xin didn’t die, he would be severely injured!

Yet, in that instant, Meng Xin’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, and just as the other party was about to hit him, he easily caught it!

In the next moment, Meng Xin’s hand suddenly exploded with an extremely strong force, and he broke his opponent’s right hand!

“Ah!” With a loud scream, the first duel ended at lightning speed!

Meng Xin had won the match!

In the betting area, before anyone could cheer, Young Master Guo was the first to frown, “His talent skill… When did it advance to the second rank?”

“No! Wait…” Young Master Guo suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Chen. He saw that there was no surprise on the other party’s face as if this ending was within his expectations.

Young Master Guo’s expression had an additional trace of surprise, “This kid… Could it be that the reason he didn’t listen to me and insisted on betting on Meng Xin’s victory was that he already saw through the increase in Meng Xin’s strength before all this?”
