Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 82 Li Wanting, Unable to Be Selected
The design of the Shadow Sword is somewhat different from that of a regular sword.

Its narrow-walled, thin blade does not look like a war sword, but rather like an enlarged flying sword. However, its long blade and grip are clearly those of a war sword.

"The quick sword feels really good."

Simply performing a few phantom sword moves is indeed much more effective than using a black iron sword.

Faster, stronger, deadlier!

This style is designed to make the sword strike fast, stealthy, and tricky enough to ensure that the essence of the Phantom Sword Technique is brought into play.

With the Phantom Sword, Lin Qianfan's progress in practicing the Phantom Sword technique has been greatly accelerated, his proficiency has increased day by day, and his overall strength has also increased accordingly.

A few days later, it was time for the Colosseum to start again.

"Sir, I knew you would come to support us."

Seeing Lin Qianfan appear again, the female cultivator in goose skirt covered her mouth and smiled.

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"fate!"

"Oh~ fate is really amazing."

The Colosseum is not entirely an above-ground building. On the contrary, the main battlefield and the monster restraint area are basically underground. This saves a lot of above-ground space and allows the audience to enjoy the alternative pleasure of "watching from the sidelines".

The VIP seats are not higher, but closer. VIPs can observe every character on the stage more closely and make more accurate judgments.

You can also enjoy the convenience of priority betting and priority settlement.

“May I ask the young master’s name?”

"Not really, Zou Ji."

After settling all the guests, the female cultivator in goose skirt took the initiative to sit in the seat next to Lin Qianfan.

Some spectators who did not recognize the female cultivator in goose skirt did not react, but some regulars became curious about Lin Qianfan's identity when they saw this.

"But the Zou family of Haiyuewu in the inner ring of the archipelago?"

"What about you?"

"I've heard a lot about you! My name is Li Wanting."

"Nice name, what's up?"

"You're so annoying, your reserved attitude. You must have never come into contact with a female cultivator before."

Lin Qianfan has no good feelings towards women with impure motives.

Seeing that acting like a spoiled child was useless to Lin Qianfan, Li Wanting continued:
"To thank Mr. Zou for coming here today, and to make sure he has a good time today, I'm giving these spirit stones to you as a token of my appreciation for your enjoyment. I hope you won't refuse~"

"Oh? A gift?"

"Mr. Zou, if you lose, you don't have to pay it back. If you win, you can take it all. I won't take a penny. I just hope Mr. Zou doesn't think it's too little."

"It's easy to talk about."

Don't miss it, twenty spirit stones are equivalent to the total income of many low-level cultivators in a month.

After Lin Qianfan accepted the gift, Li Wanting did not stay any longer, but went to other seats to continue maintaining the customer relationship. It can be seen that this woman has certain skills in letting go and taking things as she pleases.

Since you have accepted the entertainment spirit stones as a gift, you must spend them, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to spend them.

However, Lin Qianfan has never found a suitable target.

"Next..."

Today's battle scene is very similar to the last one, but in order to prevent the audience from getting aesthetically fatigued, many of the characters are new faces, especially the monsters that appear are basically replaced.

"This is interesting."

Lin Qianfan's knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary Qi-refining cultivators. After waiting for a few more games, he finally found a target suitable for betting, a character who secretly concealed his strength and pretended to be a pig.

"Twenty spirit stones, bet on it to win."

"okay."

The waiter in charge of fee collection and registration was extremely efficient and completed the record before the 4-to-1 odds were updated.

A payout of four to one meant that the twenty spirit stones would either be reduced to zero or become ninety-five. "Heh~ I thought you were really noble."

Where Lin Qianfan couldn't see, Li Wanting and other casino managers gathered together and overlooked the entire Colosseum.

The so-called gift naturally had a price tag already on it, and Li Wanting gave twenty spirit stones in exchange for a bigger reward.

As for whether Lin Qianfan wins or loses this time, it is not so important. As long as he puts himself in the gambler's expectations and desires to win the gamble, he will not be able to escape the trap of the Colosseum.

Soon, the competition developed in the direction that Lin Qianfan had guessed. The target character kept showing weakness to the enemy, luring them step by step, and finally killing them with a single strike when the opponent was at his most rampant and careless.

"Until the end, who knows who the hunter is?"

Lin Qianfan was quite happy to have picked up ninety-five spirit stones for free.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Qianfan is a lucky guy, or anyone who wins money unexpectedly by buying high odds is a lucky guy who makes money by upset.

But Lin Qianfan actually made his money through his own strength.

How could one obtain the 20 yuan capital without status and real skills? How could one predict the upset without sharp insight and exceptional judgment?
Of course, Lin Qianfan only needs to know these things himself.

"Wow, that kid is really lucky."

As Lin Qianfan unceremoniously put the ninety-five spirit stones into his pocket, the people who were secretly observing were a little surprised.

"luck?"

Li Wanting was also a little bit unbelievable. After all, upsets were rare. It was a bit surprising that Lin Qianfan made a big profit after being silent for several games.

"It should be...luck...right?"

Li Wanting's initial impression of Lin Qianfan was that he was a fat sheep, just a fat sheep from outside the city who was good at pretending. However, after two contacts, her opinion of him had actually changed slightly, but she just refused to admit it.

In the next few games, Lin Qianfan also did not take action, as if the ninety-five spirit stones had been completely put into his pocket.

Although the last battle was extremely exciting, with the battlefield filled with sea water and two aquatic monsters engaged in an unprecedented water battle, Lin Qianfan remained unmoved.

"What a strong sense of discipline! This person is probably not an ordinary person. Wanting, I'm afraid you won't be able to get back the twenty spirit stones."

The owner of a casino is not afraid of his customers winning big money, as those who win money will often give it back on their own initiative.

On the contrary, we are most afraid of customers with strong discipline. These people will run away after winning money and will not come back. If they lose money, they will really lose it.

"I don't believe it anymore."

Li Wanting relied on her identity and appearance to win victory after victory, and won over many determined spectators. She had her own pride inside the Colosseum.

After the game, the players left the field.

"Mr. Zou, are you satisfied today?"

"Yes, your Colosseum is indeed powerful. I have to thank Fairy Li for the gift, otherwise I wouldn't have won so much."

Lin Qianfan took out the small storage bag that was used to store gambling money, tossed it, and weighed its weight with a very satisfied expression.

Then he took it back in front of Li Wanting, without any intention of returning the money or giving it as a gift.

"Haha~ It seems you're not incapable of joking, Mr. Zou. Would you be so kind as to come to the tea room for a chat?"

"Yes! I have something to say."

"Oh? What's that?"

The scale of the Colosseum is even larger than Lin Qianfan has ever seen before. There are many private rooms inside. Obviously, the scale of the competitions held on weekdays is not the limit of the Colosseum.

"Are you recruiting fighters here?"

"what?"

Li Wanting was a little surprised when she heard this. Lin Qianfan, with his handsome appearance, was obviously not a poor man. How could he ask such a question?

"Opening a business naturally means recruiting fighters. Could it be that Master Zou wants to...?"

"Yes, I want to find some equally matched opponents to practice my skills with. I hope the Colosseum can help me arrange it."

"Sparring, I understand."
