This ti, the intermission is a bit longer, and the staff took the opportunity to dismantle four of the platforms.
In the vast dueling arena, only one platform remained in the center.
This was done to make it easier for everyone to watch the matches, as the current stage of competition is quite exciting.
In no ti, those four platforms were completely taken apart.
The staff also began the draw; the first match of the first group had number one versus number nine.
Zhang Yuyan heard this and imdiately smiled, saying, "Looks like your luck has run out."
After the recent break, Zhang Yuyan’s mood had recovered, and she beca quite cheerful again.
Chu Chen shook his head, responding, "Not really, my luck is always good; at least I didn’t run into a double S-level prodigy."
"Don’t underestimate him, Hu Shengjie is a genius prioritized by Qilin Daoist School, his strength is trendous, even his guardian beast has already acquired a domain," Zhang Yuyan warned with concern.
Chu Chen nodded, saying, "Understood." With that, he confidently walked toward the platform.
At this mont, a chorus of boos occasionally erupted from the audience, as they had been waiting for this mont for a long ti, having lost a lot of money because of it.
"This guy finally doesn’t get a bye, looks like his luck has run out."
"Yeah, lost so much, this ti we can finally get so back."
"I really want to see how this kid is going to lose."
Such voices almost filled half of the auditorium.
Even Long Batian, although distant, could hear it clearly.
He frowned and asked, "Elder Zhao, what’s going on here?"
Zhao Qianshan quickly replied in a low voice, "It’s that kid from the Wu Family running the betting. I heard many lost a lot of money betting against Chu Chen."
Hearing this, Long Batian finally understood, looking at the boy who still maintained a smile amidst the boos, there was an added hint of appreciation in his gaze.
At this mont, in the fourth-floor box of the auditorium, Wu Yingxiong looked at the confident youth, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
"Young master, this was his own choice. After all, with his current strength, wanting to earn such a large amount of money naturally requires so sacrifices."
Wu Yingxiong sighed, "It’s also my fault, I didn’t explain things clearly to him at the ti. By the way, is there any news from my father?"
The butler smiled amiably, replying, "The master has started paying attention to this matter. I’ve reported your plans, and the master is extrely satisfied with the profit distribution. Everyone in the family is very supportive of you. However..."
At this point, the butler stopped speaking.
Wu Yingxiong frowned, "However, what?"
The butler whispered, "The second young master is also running a betting pool, but he’s using the previous top seven, which has caused us to lose many custors."
Wu Yingxiong didn’t seem overly angry upon hearing this, instead, he laughed.
The butler, puzzled by this, asked, "Young master, aren’t you upset?"
Wu Yingxiong laughed, "Why should I be upset? He’s on a path to self-destruction. If my father finds out he’s stealing business from the family, how do you think he’ll be punished? Besides, we’ve made enough money already, and it doesn’t hurt to let him earn so. Furthermore, he might not even make money; from what I see, Leng Ningshuang seems to have a bigger chance of winning, but the other double S-level prodigies are still hiding their true strength; who will smile to the end is not assured yet."
After hearing this, the butler suddenly understood, and he quickly clicked his communication bracelet to dial a number.
By this ti, Chu Chen and Hu Shengjie had already reached the platform.
Hu Shengjie cupped his hands towards Chu Chen, "It’s truly surprising that you made it here, but encountering ans your luck has run out."
Chu Chen raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? What a pity, but I’ve always been lucky, and I don’t think you can stop ."
Hu Shengjie wasn’t angered by these words, instead, he smiled, "It seems you don’t understand the gap between us; you can’t be blad, given you’re from a small frontier town where the people and resources you co into contact with are quite limited. I think if you hadn’t had a bye in two rounds, we might not be eting here."
Chu Chen reluctantly shook his head, "You people from big cities are indeed amusing, always bringing up background. If we were to switch places, you might not even make it into the top twenty-five."
Upon hearing this, Hu Shengjie imdiately entered a heated state, looking at Chu Chen he coldly said, "Very well, you succeeded in angering . I will make you pay for what you just said."
Chu Chen nonchalantly replied, "I’m quite looking forward to that."
"Very well, excellent indeed."
At this point, seeing both had maxed out their anger value, the referee asked, "Do you both choose a single guardian beast, or a double guardian beast match?"
Hu Shengjie said sternly, "I don’t mind, let him choose."
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Not bad, a little grace, let’s go with a single guardian beast battle."
Hu Shengjie wasted no ti in summoning his guardian beast.
His guardian beast was an Earth Demon Deer with Qilin bloodline, overall it resembled a deer-type Star Beast.
It had a shoulder height of three ters and a body length of six ters. Due to its bloodline, its fur was replaced by scale armor. Its pair of antlers were like ultimate divine weapons, with extrely sharp tips, and its limbs were quite robust, clearly having excellent running capability. Additionally, its realm had reached the Commander Level Sixth Rank, on par with those double S-level prodigies.
