Inside the iron cage, staff mbers carried away the five Snow Wolves and the blood-covered Traitorosaurus.
A lift platform slowly rose, and Xiaoxi reappeared in the view of the crowd, still in her sizzling bikini.
"Dear guests, up next is our most thrilling and exciting challenge match. Welco your warriors to the challenge," Xiaoxi announced in her clear voice to the audience.
A cheer erupted from the audience, and even so usually composed tycoons were now excited.
"Mr. Zhang, what's this challenge match?"
Qin Yang could clearly feel the atmosphere heating up.
"The challenge match is when the casino provides fierce beasts, and we send the skilled fighters we've hired to challenge those beasts."
"If the challenge is successful, the challenge fee is refunded, and you'll receive a bonus equal to the challenge fee. If it fails, the challenge fee naturally goes to the casino," Zhang Wanqing explained.
Qin Yang nodded; this kind of match was indeed thrilling. If you're confident, you could bet a billion; if you win, your challenge fee of a billion is refunded, and you earn another billion as a bonus. But of course, if you lose, your billion goes to the casino.
"Is there a limit to the challenge fee?" Qin Yang asked.
"The minimum is one million, the maximum is two hundred million," Zhang Wanqing replied.
"Two hundred million, huh?"
Qin Yang's lips curled into a smile, his eyes shimring with excitent.
"Let's welco our third gladiatorial beast," Xiaoxi said in a sweet voice from inside the iron cage.
A sunken stone platform slowly rose, revealing a lion twice the size of a normal adult lion within the steel cage, appearing before the eyes of the crowd.
The audience erupted with excitent, many seeing such a large lion for the first ti.
"This is..."
Qin Yang's pupils suddenly narrowed. The lion's fur had a tinge of fiery red, resembling a subtle fla surrounding it, majestic and imposing.
"This lion is quite unusual; it has almost taken the form of a Low-Level Spirit Beast Fire Fla Lion, almost qualifying to be called a Fire Fla Lion."
Qin Yang murmured, a trace of surprise on his face, astonished that Earth not only had the Silver Spirit Python but also such large lion beasts, which was beyond his expectations.
"Please use the betting device to press down the challenge fee, and we will choose the highest challenge fee to co up for the challenge," Xiaoxi said.
Following her words, so wealthy individuals who had hired strong fighters began pressing down sums on the betting device.
Ten minutes later, the amount wagered by the crowd appeared on the big screen, with the highest being a ten-million bet from one person.
"The two bodyguards behind
are highly paid special forces soldiers, very skilled, and I bet eight million. Didn't expect soone bet ten million," Zhang Wanqing lanted.
"Congratulations to Mr. 0009; you have won the first challenge qualification," Xiaoxi said, her gaze falling on a figure in the front row of the hall.
Qin Yang looked over, and behind the gentleman with the number 0009, stood a burly man dressed in black, as imposing as a tower.
The man in black stood straight, his entire body filled with explosive power.
One corner of the iron cage opened, and the man in black walked inside.
Clang!
The steel cage trapping the Fire Fla Lion was pulled upward by chains, and the majestic Fire Fla Lion stepped out with its head held high.
Roar!
The Fire Fla Lion let out a trendous roar at the man in black, shaking the eardrums, displaying the undisputed might of a lion king.
A hint of intensity crossed the man in black's face; he might have handled an ordinary lion, but this fiery-maned lion was clearly no ordinary beast, requiring him to fight with all his might.
The Fire Fla Lion, already possessing a hint of spirituality, didn't imdiately attack but elegantly took a few steps forward, its lion eyes carrying a playful hint as it examined this challenger.
The man in black's face darkened, and he launched the first attack, springing forward and kicking towards the lion's head.
Though the Fire Fla Lion was large, it moved swiftly, sidestepping easily to avoid the attack from the man in black, its fiery red tail flicking.
"Snap!"
The sharp lion tail struck the chest of the man in black.
The man in black flew backward, crashing into the iron cage, his shirt tearing open to reveal a long, bloody gash.
Wow!
The audience burst out in amazent. Surprising them, the man in black was injured only in the first round, leaving the gentleman with number 0009 looking displeased.
"This lion is formidable."
Long iqing's face tensed; she could feel the strength of this lion.
Qin Yang nodded, acknowledging the Fire Fla Lion's spirituality, not sothing ordinary people could handle.
The man in black disregarded the burning pain in his chest, stood up, and with a flip of his hand, a dagger gleaming with cold light appeared.
The challenge matches allowed the use of non-poisoned cold weapons.
With the dagger in hand, the man in black seed more confident, stamping the ground with his toes, launching forward, the sharp blade aiming for the Fire Fla Lion.
"Roar!"
The Fire Fla Lion let out another mighty roar, an invisible soundwave spreading.
The man in black montarily froze, and the next mont, the Fire Fla Lion's claws struck his body.
Puff!
The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flung backward, landing heavily on the ground, his breath weak, clearly suffering quite a bit of damage.
In just two short rounds, the victory was decided!
Wow!
The crowd buzzed with astonishnt, not expecting a skilled soldier with a sharp weapon to be swiftly and decisively defeated.
"Is the lion that strong?!"
Zhang Wanqing's eyes widened, feeling a sense of relief he hadn't been chosen; otherwise, his eight million would have been wasted.
Qin Yang wasn't surprised, knowing that a mature Fire Fla Lion rivaled an Interdiate Immortal Warrior in strength, and while the one in the cage was just a fledgling, it was still challenging for ordinary people to handle.
Outside the iron cage, staff mbers hooked the man in black, pulling him out of the cage.
"The first match is settled; our gladiatorial beast scored the first victory. Next is the second round of challenges; please press the betting device," Xiaoxi announced to the crowd from outside the iron cage.
For the second round, the crowd was noticeably more cautious, with fewer bets than in the first round.
However, the highest challenge fee was unexpected.
"Thirty million!"
Surprise flickered in Xiaoxi's eyes as she looked at the figure on the electronic screen.
"This is unusual. Normally, after seeing that the gladiatorial beast isn't easy to handle in the first round, the highest bet for the second match is much lower, not increasing by twenty million like this."
Zhang Wanqing murmured to himself, choosing not to bet in the second challenge, recognizing soone had hidden talent under their belt to have raised the stakes so much after watching the first match.
