Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Bang.

Number Six's move was ruthless.

They didn't give the boy any chance to fight back at all.

With a single whip strike, the layer of Dharma image surrounding the boy was shattered.

After the tortoise shell cracked, the boy's heart sank.

He knew that Number Six was very strong, but he did not expect the gap between the two sides to be so huge.

In just a short while, he completely shattered his own Dharma form!
That's absolutely outrageous!
at this time.

Looking at the situation in the stands, Chen Ye couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work!"

Although he had foreseen that the boy would lose with his Eye of Fortune, he never expected him to lose so miserably.

They're even going to lose face!
after all.

This kind of Dharma form looks far too immature; it can only protect itself from all angles.

But if it encounters forceful methods and its shell is broken...

That would still result in a very dire situation.

The only advantage of this tortoise shell-like form is that it can protect itself in all directions.

But this also means that the boy has no offensive means.

Having witnessed so many battles of wits between masters, I occasionally encountered a complete novice...

This is quite a novel thing.

No wonder number six had such a playful expression. Encountering such a weak player is indeed a very enjoyable experience for him to practice against.

"Number Six is ​​indeed very strong. It only took him a short time to break through the boy's shell."

"Although this tortoise-shell-like Dharma form is ridiculous, lacking any offensive capabilities, and would be no different from waiting to die in a fighting arena, Number Six's methods were too clean and efficient, managing to devour this Dharma form so quickly!"

"That's absolutely outrageous!"

"Yes, this Number Six is ​​quite formidable!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, a mid-level challenger will finally emerge today."

The crowd in the stands all felt that number six would become the next intermediate challenger.

Today's challenge is just too outrageous.

Not only have so many challengers emerged with strength comparable to intermediate challengers, but so far, not a single one has been able to achieve a three-match winning streak.

They were all defeated by experts who appeared along the way.

but.

This time, number six seemed to have good luck. After defeating the troublesome number five, number seven was incredibly weak, as if he was just there to send number six up.

But that's it.

Chen Ye's figure did start to move.

That's right!

Chen Ye was ranked number eight among the contestants in this battle arena.

Now it was Chen Ye's turn to step onto the stage and accept the battle!
The waitress in the back pressed the doorbell next to her, knocked three times on the door with moderate volume, and reminded her from outside:

"Number eight, it's your turn to go on stage!"

"Is it finally my turn to go on stage?" Chen Ye's lips curled up slightly. Through watching the previous matches, he already knew the weakness of number six.

Moreover, number six has already been incorporated into the realm of [Infinite Deduction].

After a battle of wits...

Although the process was still somewhat difficult, the Red Sun Dharma Form alone was enough to deal with Number Six.

At this moment, Chen Ye's figure passed through the long backstage corridor of the huge venue and arrived on the stage of the fighting arena.

All eyes were on Chen Ye, and no one could help but sigh.

"Ah, it's another such young boy. It seems this fight will be one-sided!"

"That's right, number six is ​​really lucky. After dealing with an opponent like number five, the next opponents are getting weaker and weaker!"

"Sigh, I really don't know how there could be such a young boy with so much money, willing to spend five hundred gold coins to throw money away in the arena, he must be out of his mind!"

"That's right, with so much money, why waste it on anything else but coming to the fighting arena!"

However, in the stands, Wu Nian and the others couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw Chen Ye take the field.

Wan Yi grinned: "Chen Ye has finally made his appearance. I feel that these Dharma forms are not very interesting. Only the steps of that ghostly number six are somewhat interesting, but he has no chance of winning against that kid Chen Ye!"

Zhiyin smiled slightly and said:
"I've already started betting on Chen Ye to win. The odds are almost one-sided; very few people think Chen Ye has a chance of winning!"

"Hey, count me in too, I want to help manipulate the odds too!"

Jiufeng quickly called over a waitress who was pacing back and forth in the audience, and told her that she planned to place a bet.

Betting is a business within the venue, so there are dedicated personnel responsible for this aspect.

The betting odds will be completely closed the moment the fight begins.

Wu Nian and the others also quickly invested a sum of money in Chen Ye.

The waitresses couldn't help but look at them with surprise.

Almost only a handful of people in the entire arena would bet on Chen Ye; everyone else unanimously voted for number six.

I don't know why these people trust Chen Ye so much...

Moreover, especially that confidant, who bet a considerable amount.

This sign would naturally be noticed by other sharp-eyed guests in the venue.

They were all very surprised by this.

and so.

They held back and didn't place bets carelessly.

Of course, most people still trust their own judgment. Given the strength that Number Six has demonstrated, unless he encounters a high-level challenger, it wouldn't be so easy for him to lose.

At this moment.

Just as the female referee was about to announce the start of the match...

Chen Ye suddenly interrupted:
"Wait a minute, I want to bet on myself."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned to Chen Ye with surprised looks.

Generally speaking.

Challengers are not allowed to place bets.

After all, they can control the outcome of the game.

But there is only one way to place a bet.

That is betting on yourself to win.

Only betting on your own victory is acceptable to both parties.

Number Six narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Little brother, are you sure you want to bet on yourself to win?" "The whip in my hand won't hold back!"

Many spectators in the stands were surprised by Chen Ye's confidence.

"No way... Doesn't this young friend know how strong Number Six is, yet he still wants to place a bet?"

"If he's betting, it seems like he can only bet on himself to win, right?"

"Yes, I guess this young friend is unaware of the situation in the Battle Arena. I come here often, almost every day, and I've never seen such a new face before."

"Then they probably don't know the rules. After all, they spent five hundred gold coins to enter the arena, so they must be thinking about getting their money's worth."

"But unfortunately, as a challenger, you can only bet on yourself to win, not on yourself to lose, otherwise it would be considered match-fixing, and the official betting method would not be recognized."

On the field, the female referee frowned slightly and kindly reminded her:
"Challenger, if you want to place a bet, you can only bet on what you win."

“I know the rules,” Chen Ye nodded. “I’m going to bet on myself to win.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into an uproar.

No one could believe that Chen Ye was actually betting on himself to win.

That's incredibly bold!
Didn't he see how decisive and efficient number six's methods were in winning this match?

"Could this be some rich kid with a brain problem? Seeing how strong number six is, he actually thinks he can win this match?"

"He knows absolutely nothing about power!"

"I wonder how much he's going to bet..."

Just then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Ye took out ten thousand gold coins from his pocket, placed them on himself, and smiled:

"This is the stake I'm betting on myself."

The female referee then called over a waiter, who took the chips from Chen Ye's hand and reminded him again:
"You only have one chance to bet."

"The betting odds will be completely closed after the match ends."

"You have bet 10,000 gold coins on this match. According to the current odds, if you win this match, you will receive 25,000 gold coins."

The moment the words were spoken, the entire room erupted in commotion!

"What? He actually bet 10,000 gold coins on himself?"

"No way, that's outrageous! Who would bet 10,000 gold coins on themselves?!"

"If Chen Ye wins this match, he and the bookmaker will make a fortune!"

"The odds are way too high!"

"That's insane! He actually bet ten thousand gold coins on himself! Even a spoiled rich kid wouldn't choose to wager that much!"

"They're not even treating gold coins like money anymore!"

"That's incredibly audacious. I'm starting to wonder what kind of abilities this young man possesses that make him dare to bet on himself like that?"

On top of the stands.

Number Six's eyes were already narrowed.

She gradually realized that this opponent might not be so simple.

An ordinary young man would never be able to come up with 10,000 gold coins and bet it on himself; this is a decision that is almost equivalent to the entire fortune of most people in Sky City.

It's important to know that even in Sky City, there are still quite a few people who can't afford 10,000 gold coins.

This amount is simply too large.

but.

Chen Ye casually took out 10,000 gold coins, and used them for betting. Such a generous gesture was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Honestly, even Number Six himself might not be able to come up with 10,000 gold coins.

Not to mention betting in the arena!
In the arena of battle, the waters are deep, and all sorts of situations can arise.

Therefore, Number Six's greater inclination towards Chen Ye must stem from some kind of confidence that allows him to spend such a large amount of gold coins on himself.

and……

The other person's eyes always seemed very calm. For some reason, those eyes seemed to have a kind of magic, able to see through everything about me.

Number Six suddenly felt as if he were naked in front of Chen Ye, with all his secrets laid bare.

This strange feeling had almost never occurred to Number Six.

"Alright, little brother, I'd love to see what you're capable of that you dare to bet ten thousand gold coins on yourself!"

Number Six's lips curled up slightly.

The situation before me is far more interesting than I imagined!

The boy in front of me is completely ignorant of his own limitations, daring to bet 10,000 gold coins on me.
Do you look down on yourself that much?

Logically speaking, Chen Ye watched the entire battle from backstage, so there's no reason why he wouldn't know the strength of Number Six, right?

Or……

The other party is far too confident in their own abilities!
Are they so confident that they dare to bet 10,000 gold coins on themselves?
Since Number Six was originally an internal member of the fighting arena, the member he invited out had the same strength as Number Five.

According to today's script, number five was supposed to make a move and defeat number three, who had good strength and potential. Number five would then defeat number three to make a profit. Then, number six, a dark horse, would suddenly attack and defeat number five, thus gaining some betting odds. Finally, number six would become a mid-level challenger.

This number six can be said to be a gem that the Battle Arena has recently found.

The plan is to groom them into star players.

of course.

This process won't be quick; number six must secure a winning streak and become the dark horse before he'll be qualified to stand at such a high position.

Therefore, according to official inside information, Number Six knew perfectly well that this so-called Number Eight was not an official player at all.

If it were an amateur athlete...

The chances of being able to deal with Number Six are very slim!
After all, with his true strength, Number Six is ​​fully qualified to reach the level of a high-level challenger.

If you win ten consecutive battles in the Battle Arena, you can advance to the next rank.

now.

Chen Ye stood in front of Number Six.

After both sides made their preparations, the competition officially began!
"I will make you regret what you did today!"

Number Six immediately used his ghostly footwork to circle behind Chen Ye, intending to defeat him in one strike.

But at this moment, Chen Ye simply moved his mind, and then a radiant image of a red sun completely separated them.

Number Six's whip struck the image of the Red Sun, seemingly without causing any damage, and was even rebounded!
"how is this possible?"

Number Six sensed a recoiling force coming from the whip in his hand, which shook him so much that he couldn't hold the whip very steadily.

See this scene.

The audience members all stared in disbelief at the Dharma image that Chen Ye had conjured.

"What kind of Dharma form is this? I've never seen it before. Could it be that this young man comprehended it on his own?"

"That's right, the solidity of this Dharma form is far more stable than that tortoise shell!"

"Number Six actually got the short end of the stick?"

"Even when number five was fighting number six, they couldn't make the opponent suffer such a defeat. Just who is this young man, and why does he possess such a divine form?" (End of this chapter)
