Beautiful CEO's Top Martial Expert-Chapter 2205 - 2203: The Gamble
"Kid, if you let this Water Clone train in the Ruo River, it could enhance its power even faster, and it could also grasp more Ruo Shui!"
Long Qian said.
"Hmm!"
Xiao Yifeng nodded; the Ruo River is the dwelling of the Ruo Shui Clan, containing vast amounts of Ruo Shui.
Training there indeed holds greater utility for the Water Clone, allowing a better grasp to refine the Spirit of Ruo Shui.
Xiao Yifeng let this clone return to his body, then walked out.
"Boss, big news!"
Qian Duoduo’s figure dashed over.
"What’s the fuss this early morning? Did something happen, were you assaulted by a fierce woman?"
Xiao Yifeng said.
"No, it’s that suddenly within Holy City’s Inner City someone has listed a Top Hundred Rankings!"
Qian Duoduo said.
"Top Hundred Rankings!"
Xiao Yifeng asked, surprised.
"That’s correct, this Top Hundred Rankings is based on the performance strength of the 260 participants who passed the first round of the Dragon List competition; the top 100 are listed."
Qian Duoduo said.
"Oh, what rank am I?"
Xiao Yifeng asked curiously.
"Tenth!"
Qian Duoduo said.
"Only tenth, huh? Who are the nine ahead of me?"
Xiao Yifeng said.
"First is Qi Tiandao, second is Xuanyuan Hong, third is Chu Feicheng, fourth is Jian Yun, fifth is Divine Child Luo Bei from Kunlun Divine Palace."
"Sixth is Xiao Kuang from the Xiao Clan, seventh is Mingyue from the Moon God Palace, eighth is Ling’er, ninth is Qijie."
Qian Duoduo said.
"Darn, even Qijie ranked higher than me!"
Xiao Yifeng commented in surprise.
"Besides considering perceived strength during the first round, this Top Hundred Rankings reflects their political backgrounds. You might be ranked tenth because you don’t have a background. I’m even worse, only ranked in the sixties!"
Qian Duoduo spoke with a face of frustration.
"Who came up with this rankings list?"
Xiao Yifeng asked.
"They say it’s chosen by the forces of Heaven Alliance within Holy City’s Inner City, and they’ve opened a bet based on the rankings too!"
Qian Duoduo said.
"A bet? Xiao Yifeng looked puzzled."
"Correct, they set different odds based on the people in the Top Hundred Rankings, wagering who will ultimately rank first on the Dragon List; odds for first place are 1 to 1."
"If you bet on Qi Tiandao being first on the Dragon List, if they do end up first, you’d earn double the reward. Second place is 1 to 2, third place 1 to 4, fourth place odds are 1 to 6, and for you, Boss, it’s 1 to 18."
Qian Duoduo said.
"To bet like this! So if I bet on myself and I win first on the Dragon List, they have to pay me eighteen times!"
Xiao Yifeng smiled lightly.
"Exactly, Boss. I’ve already bet ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones on you, planning to earn eighteen thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones easily!"
Qian Duoduo said with a grin.
"Really, looks like I should bet my odds on you winning too!"
"I should bet too!"
Luo Qianyu, Reen Tianwu, and several others came over and upon hearing about this, expressed they would also bet.
Subsequently, others intended to take out a batch of Spirit Stones to bet on Xiao Yifeng winning; evidently, they all had great confidence in him.
"I’ve already bet ten thousand Supreme Quality Spirit Crystals on Brother Xiao!"
Ling Yu said.
"Wow, such a large stake!"
Qian Duoduo exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother Ling believes in me so much?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Xiao Yifeng’s eyes as he looked at Ling Yu.
"I believe my eyes won’t deceive me!"
Ling Yu replied with a smile.
"Alright, I certainly won’t let you lose money. Qian Duoduo, take all my Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals, bet all on me."
Xiao Yifeng said.
"Okay!"
Qian Duoduo nodded.
"Looks like I’ll have to bet some too!"
Yuan Zhimo said with a smile.
"Bet confidently, I guarantee a big win for you all!"
Xiao Yifeng smiled with a wicked charm.
At this moment, a huge crowd was flocking to the betting site set up by Holy City Heavenly Alliance, drawn in by the gambling opportunities, all ready to place bets.
Most were betting on Qi Tiandao, Xuanyuan Hong, Chu Feicheng, and Luo Bei — these prodigies who demonstrated strong prowess or had considerable backgrounds.
Many were wagering their entire possessions, and because of Heaven Alliance’s status and resources in Holy City, they weren’t worried about whether Heaven Alliance could cover their bets.
Thus, the betting location became swamped with people.
Meanwhile, Young Master of Heaven Alliance, Meng Xuanlang, watching the scene with twinkling eyes.
"Young Master, who do you think will ultimately become first on the Dragon List?"
A subordinate next to Meng Xuanlang asked.
"None of them will become first; that spot on the Dragon List is mine!"
Meng Xuanlang closed his Feather Fan, his expression cold, voice chilling.
"Yes, indeed, first on the Dragon List belongs only to Heaven Alliance, belongs to Young Master!"
The subordinate nodded quickly.
At the center of Inner City, numerous sect forces and other onlookers gathered again.
Currently, the previously existing ten arenas had disappeared.
Instead, a black arena that is more than double the size of the previous ones appeared, reaching two to three meters high.
"Brother Xiao!"
When Xiao Yifeng and others arrived here, the people of Wind Clan appeared as well, Feng Lin approached Xiao Yifeng with a smile.
"Brother Feng!"
Xiao Yifeng greeted as he saw Feng Lin.
"Brother Xiao, are you aware of the Top Hundred Rankings and the bets?"
Feng Lin said casually.
"Yes, Brother Feng, did you place a bet?"
Xiao Yifeng asked.
"I placed fifty thousand Supreme Quality Spirit Crystals!"
Feng Lin said calmly.
"Such a large stake!"
Xiao Yifeng was shocked; this Ancient Clan really is impressive, wielding fifty thousand Supreme Quality Spirit Crystals that even the Ten Great Sects can’t muster!
"Brother Feng, did you bet on yourself?"
Xiao Yifeng asked Feng Lin. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Feng Lin smiled mysteriously, shook his head, and said, "I bet entirely on you becoming first on the Dragon List!"
"Bet on me?"
Xiao Yifeng’s pupils shrank, his eyes flashed with surprise.
"Indeed, based on my intuition, the top spot on the Dragon List should be yours!"
Feng Lin said with a smile.
"Thanks for the esteem, Brother Feng!"
Xiao Yifeng replied with a smile.
"Young Master, I bet fifty thousand Supreme Quality Spirit Crystals on you, too!"
Ling Yun came and said to Xiao Yifeng.
"You all seem to have great confidence in me; therefore, for the sake of your bets, I must win first on the Dragon List, otherwise, I’d truly let you all down!"
Xiao Yifeng laughed heartily.
