Chapter 207 - 151: Little White Horse in a Tug-of-War! Two Beautiful Women Duel!_3
What a joke.
Why hasn’t anyone come to challenge the number one defender?
The originally sparse audience quickly dispersed.
“How come no one has come to challenge Zheng Cheng in the second round?”
“I was hoping to see someone run with diarrhea, but no one stepped onto the stage?”
“Hehehe, you and I have the same thoughts…”
Zheng Cheng and the referee exchanged glances, looking unanimously at the other side.
“I say, young man, is your skill just that bizarre?”
“I didn’t wish for it as well…”
“Amazing…I heard some Priests have healing skills even for diseases, wouldn’t it be ineffective against you?”
“I think it probably depends on the skill level…”
As the two chatted, they watched the matches on the other platforms.
Bai Shi, the referee, seemed fond of mentoring and was making comments about the competitors.
“This freshman Yao Zhixue is indeed strong, the casting speed is fast, and the ice magic is one of the strongest controlling attributes, and the casting range is so large, so he has few equals within his echelon!”
“Look, the second challenger didn’t last even a minute…”
“Zhu Chengyu comes from a military background and is a nine-star dragon knight, he’s a sure win!”
“Same for Qin Zheng, nothing much to comment…”
“I heard that this young man Bai Jingqi is a fighting maniac, if he fights with Terence, there will be a good show to watch~”
“Song Chaoyu? Not very familiar, but the shadow she summoned seems to be a Professionist from The Inferior Tribe, if that’s the case, one person equals a whole team, impressive…”
Zheng Cheng was visibly impressed by these insights.
As expected of a veteran from the Professionist guild, his insights are sharp and brutal.
Exactly as he predicted, the second round of the competition ended quickly.
Out of ten defenders, not one was toppled.
Surprisingly, Terence was sitting on the ground, panting furiously, with a priest attending to him on the side, clearly he was significantly injured.
Bai Shi said: “Tch tch, this Terence is still quite formidable, he actually managed to hold on for so long under the tag warfare of two seven-star freshers from the military.”
“You know, Zhao Wujun and He Chengguang are both elites among the military freshers. If they had chosen to challenge any other defenders, they might have even won. Why did they have to challenge Terence?”
“And as a result, both of them failed…”
Terence was injured, but the challengers were far worse off.
Beneath the fifth platform, two priests were attending to the severely injured He Chengguang.
Zheng Cheng could only shrug helplessly.
Zhao Wujun and He Chengguang both challenged Terence, there must have been some kind of military order behind this.
As for the reason, he could somewhat guess.
Best if they could win. Even if they couldn’t, they should weaken his strength to prepare for subsequent challenges!
Soon, under the ‘observation’ and discussion between Zheng Cheng and Bai Shi, the matchup. Challenger VS Defender, ended quickly.
Except for Li Mei, who was replaced by Jiang Muyun, the rest of the nine people were unchanged till the end!
The first platform, Zheng Cheng.
The second platform, Yao Zhixue.
The third platform, Zhu Chengyu.
The fourth platform, Qin Zheng.
The fifth platform, Terence.
The sixth platform, Bai Jingqi.
The seventh platform, Song Chaoyu.
The eighth platform, Hao Zhao.
The ninth platform, Jiang Muyun.
The tenth platform, Yang Haoran.
These ten people once again drew cheers from the massive audience!
“The challenge match has ended, and the real ranking match is about to begin!”
“I wonder who will win the first place this year?”
“I guess it’s Zhu Chengyu! He’s a dragon knight!”
“I think it’s Qin Zheng, that’s the first Professionist with nine stars…”
“Why do I feel that Zheng Cheng will be the first?”
“Damn, me too, ha ha ha…”
“No! No one challenged him before because no one could withstand his skill. But after the ranking match begins, these people are all eight-star and nine-star Professionists, and all of them have the support of large forces behind them. As long as they’re willing to dish out a fortune, they can definitely find equipment or props to resist his skills!”
“I also don’t think it’s him, his Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique erupts within ten seconds, as long as someone can defeat him within ten seconds, wouldn’t they win?”
“The betting pool is open! The betting pool is open! Quick, place your bets…”
“Zhu Chengyu places first, 1:1.03; Qin Zheng places first, 1:1.02; Yao Zhixue places first, 1:1.45…”
“What about Zheng Cheng? What are his odds?”
“1:45.5!”
“Damn that’s savage… forty-five times the payout, isn’t this a chance to get rich overnight?”
“Quick, place your bets!”
“I’ll bet a thousand!”
“I’ll bet ten thousand…!”
In countless shouts, at least tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, or billions of assets, flowed into the underground black market.
In the crowd, Chen Xiao and Chicken also came to the official lottery station set up and checked the odds.
“Zheng Cheng places first, 1:22.4.”
Chen Xiao sneered, “Only 22 times the payout, well, after all, it’s the official lottery station, there is credibility.”
Chicken said strangely: “Brother Xiao, the black market is offering 45 times the payout, why not bet there?”
Chen Xiao glanced at him, “What if they abscond with the money?”
“The betting pool for Brother Cheng is so high, there will be many speculators betting on him, the black market boss won’t dare to run with that much money.”
As he said that, he pulled out two bank cards from his pocket and placed them on the table.
“All in for Zheng Cheng to be the first! How about you, Chicken!”
Chicken also reluctantly took out a bank card and placed it on the counter.
“Sigh, this is more than two decades worth of my New Year’s money, more than twenty thousand.”
“What about the gold?”
“There is only a little over five hundred gold, and half of it was rewarded by my mother.”
