Primordial Emperor

"Damn it, I actually lost to this kid. If it weren't for my carelessness at the end, I would have won."

Quinn flipped up from the ground, holding his aching chest and said grudgingly.

In the recent battle with Lin Chen, both he and Lin Chen had reached their physical limits, with victory or defeat decided in an instant. Due to his carelessness, Lin Chen seized the opportunity and punched him off the platform.

Faced with this result, he was filled with reluctance and anger but was helpless and could only accept it.

After all, he lost to Lin Chen; this was a fact. It just made him feel humiliated because he wasn't defeated by a strongman but by a mere Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer kid, whose cultivation was three realms lower than his.

To Quinn, this was simply an utter humiliation.

This result, no need to mention Quinn's internal anger and unwillingness, was no different for the others below the arena, after all, they all bet on Quinn to win.

Regarding the outcome of this battle, everyone wailed in agony, deeply pained inside, and many lost all their money.

"Mr. Tang, this time we bet with you and lost tragically. I put in most of my fortune."

"I didn't tell you to bet with me. Do you think my situation is good? I also threw in half of my spirit crystals, who could have thought this kid, three realms lower than Quinn, still had such combat power."

"This kid got lucky. Judging by his fighting situation, he seems to have exhausted his spiritual power and stamina. If Quinn hadn't shown that flaw, the kid might not have won."

"Alas, the outcome is set, what's the use of saying these things..."

Below the arena, everyone sighed and discussed.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen, with a full face of smiles, came to the table where the bets were placed.

Before Lin Chen went up to the arena to challenge, he bet ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals on himself, initially thinking the odds were just ten times, winning would yield ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals.

However, before the fight started, the house changed the odds, turning his win into a hundred times payout.

Now, Lin Chen directly received a million low-grade spirit crystals. To speak of it, he really had to thank the house of Heaven Hall.

"Senior Brother, what about my betting odds?"

Lin Chen looked at the bookmaker in charge, smilingly speaking.

The bookmaker in charge of Heaven Hall looked at Lin Chen with a bitter face, couldn't imagine Lin Chen really defeated Quinn, secretly sighed that Lin Chen got lucky, he watched the entire fight, and Lin Chen's victory was all due to catching Quinn's flaw at the last moment, otherwise, it would have been Lin Chen who lost.

No way around it, as the bookmaker, with Lin Chen placing a bet in front of so many people, they couldn't break their promise and had to give Lin Chen a hundred times the payout, giving Lin Chen a million low-grade spirit crystals.

After giving it, the bookmaker of Heaven Hall was extremely upset, that wasn't a small amount.

Moreover, they also gave Lin Chen ten thousand as a reward for successfully challenging the arena.

Fortunately, only Lin Chen bet on himself to win, otherwise, the bookmaker of Yellow Hall would have suffered a total loss this time.

Luckily, many people bet on Quinn, so even with Lin Chen's hundred times odds, the bookmaker still profited.

Taking the one million and ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals, Lin Chen happily thanked the bookmaker in charge, as it was thanks to him changing the odds that he could earn so much.

"Kid, are you fighting in the next match?"

The bookmaker in charge looked at Lin Chen and asked.

Lin Chen took their money away, and they didn't want to let Lin Chen leave just like that, striving to earn it back.

"No, I'm exhausted mentally and physically, I need a rest."

Lin Chen looked at the bookmaker in charge, pretending to be extremely tired, and said flatly.

Subsequently, Lin Chen found a quiet place and took an elixir to recuperate.

In reality, Lin Chen had hardly consumed much spiritual power and stamina.

Just now on the arena, all his actions were faked, if Lin Chen seriously fought Quinn, dealing with such a character could be done in one move, but to continue competing, Lin Chen had to put on a show and play on stage with Quinn for an hour.

If he directly defeated Quinn in one move, the bookmaker would be wary of him and not let him participate in the arena challenges, moreover, Shi An and Wang Shuo and others would easily recognize him and not let him off.

With Quinn's defeat, the bookmaker sent a more powerful defender to the stage, this defender's cultivation was at the peak of the Nirvana Realm.

Soon after, several challengers took the stage and were all defeated; it seemed this new defender was much stronger than Quinn.

Not long after, Lin Chen finished recuperation, originally just for show for the bookmaker.

After that, Lin Chen went to the betting table again.

This time, Lin Chen directly bet ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals.

Seeing Lin Chen again going on the arena to fight, the crowd below became lively once more, after all, many had suffered great losses on Lin Chen before.

"Look, that Master Qingxu is going to fight again."

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang, how should we bet this time?"

"Hmph, do we even need to think? Of course, bet on this kid to lose. In the previous match, this kid only won because he caught a flaw against Quinn. This time, the defender is much stronger than Quinn, this kid isn't so lucky to win."

"Mr. Tang's analysis is spot on, we all bet on this kid to lose, this time he surely cannot defeat the defender."

...

Following the analysis from the middle-aged man named Mr. Tang, the crowd all stepped forward, betting on Lin Chen's defeat.

In fact, most people thought like Mr. Tang, after all, Lin Chen's cultivation was low, and previously he won by luck.

And this time, Lin Chen's luck was useless against absolute strength.

With more and more people betting on Lin Chen's defeat, the bookmaker in charge didn't dare to change the odds this time.

Because, you know, Lin Chen bet ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals this time.

If they changed the odds again, and Lin Chen won, the hundred times payout would make them lose fortune enormously.

So this time, the odds for challenger winning were one to ten, and for defender winning, ten to one, meaning if you bet ten thousand, winning the challenge could gain eleven thousand low-grade spirit crystals.
