Chapter 101 The 99 Stairs to the Sky

When Yu Hongchang heard Jiang Ling's words, he didn't say anything, and immediately posted a post on the dark web, with a video of himself attached.

"Thank you for your attention to this life-and-death battle. I am Yu Hongchang. In order to add some fun, I hereby set up a handicap. You can place bets in this post..."

As soon as the post was posted, it immediately aroused widespread enthusiasm. Countless darknet users flooded into the post to leave comments, saying that Yu Hongchang was crazy.

Everyone knows that in this life-and-death battle, the half-step Nascent Soul stage will win, and one foot has stepped into the Nascent Soul stage. Even if it is the formation of the alchemy, it is not an opponent, let alone a little-known kid up.

No matter how small the odds of that half-step Nascent Soul Stage were, it was bound to be a losing business.

However, as soon as the odds were announced, the entire dark web was boiling.

Because Yu Hongchang gave the half-step Nascent Soul Qi a horrible odds of 1 for 2. Simply put, if you buy the half-step Nascent Soul Qi and win, you can earn back 1 yuan if you invest 2 yuan.

Generally, with such one-sided odds, you can earn a few cents by investing 1 yuan.

Immediately, countless people went crazy, and they all ran to Yu Hongchang to place bets, buying half a step of Nascent Soul Stage to win.

Yu Hongchang understood Jiang Ling's intentions, and it was nothing more than taking the opportunity to make a sum of money and killing the dark net's spirit by the way.

Although his cultivation talent is poor, his business acumen is top-notch.

He didn't plan to bet on the gamble he opened, because no one bought Jiangling to win, so in the end, all the money won by buying the half-step Nascent Soul Stage went to the dealer.
Yu Hongchang opened a handicap by himself, and backhandedly went to other people's handicap to invest all his net worth, buying Jiangling to win.

"Master, it's all right, so I turned all the assets that can be realized into cash. The total is 700 billion. I divided it into 72 shares and invested in 72 markets. If you win the life-and-death battle, then our assets can be increased by 50." times."

"Combined with the gamble I opened myself, 200 billion funds have been absorbed so far, all of which are bought and won by the other party, so the money belongs to us."

Yu Hongchang didn't even need to press the calculator, he got the number with just a turn of his eyes.

"Overall, this wave of operations can double our net worth by about 60 times."

Jiang Ling's mouth twitched as he watched from the side, looking at Yu Hongchang strangely.

He just wanted to play casually on a whim, but Yu Hongchang played too professionally, wouldn't this business acumen bankrupt all the consortiums in the world?

Seeing that Jiang Ling remained silent, Yu Hongchang frowned: "Is the master not satisfied? We can also add 6 times leverage to the gambling table, and then..."

"It's fine, it's fine," Jiang Ling quickly interrupted him, "Let's play around a little bit, otherwise we'll bankrupt the whole world, and that's very troublesome."

Yu Hongchang nodded slightly. If he really wanted to play so big, he would probably be wanted by the whole world for assassination.

Tens of billions of funds have been invested in gambling, which has attracted the attention of countless people on the dark web.

"Which idiot actually spent so much money to buy Jiangling to win, what an idiot."

"Yes, although Jiangling's odds are high, high odds mean that the chance of winning is low. Such high odds are simply a deliberate temptation given by the bookmaker."

Many people are laughing at this fool who invested tens of billions.

However, all of this doesn't matter to Jiang Ling, the gamble is just for fun, he doesn't care.

Early the next morning, Jiangling set off for Dunhuang, where the three provinces meet, with a vast land and a vast population, where the world-famous underground martial arts arena was established.

Ordinary people will never have access to this unique world.

At this time, the underground world and consortium forces have spread, and today's No. 1, who has been closed for decades, is ready to fight a life-and-death battle with an unknown boy named Jiangling.

After Jiangling arrived in Dunhuang, the other party's so-called No.1 identity was officially revealed. It was a Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world called Qilian Mountain, with a high status and prestige.

These news were leaked deliberately by the other party, just to create momentum.

Qilian Mountain has no influence, but it is famous in Yitian Army.When spiritual energy is scarce, anyone who wants to cross the catastrophe can only choose to join the Yitian Army, and the same is true for Qilian Mountain.

It's just that Yi Tianjun's management is not very strict at ordinary times, no matter which faction you are, it doesn't matter what you usually do, but you must help in matters involving Yi Tianjun's interests.

Jiang Ling guessed that this Qilian Mountain was personally invited by Yi Tianjun to deal with him.

When the outside world was in full swing, Jiangling had already arrived at the destination, beside a Dunhuang stone wall.

There were already people waiting, and when they saw Jiang Ling, they took him away and pressed the hidden button on the stone wall.

In an instant, a door opened on the stone wall, and a loud noise erupted from inside.

The sounds of fighting, screams, shouts, and cheers were mixed together.

This is the underground fighting arena. It was built by hollowing out a stone wall. The whole is in the shape of a tall tower. From the bottom to the top, there are 99 floors in total, implying 99 steps to the sky.

Anyone who wants to participate in the life-and-death battle must start from the bottom layer and go up layer by layer. Only by winning at the current layer can he enter the higher layer.

The person who wins in the end will climb to the top, take away the heaven-defying rewards, obtain the supreme title, and accept the crazy solicitation of global forces.

Legend has it that this fighting arena has been established for more than a thousand years, and it is protected by a mysterious force. Even Jiang Ling does not know who the owner of the fighting arena is, but all forces in the world recognize this fighting arena, and no one is allowed. people destroy.

"Look, it's that kid named Jiang Ling, he's the only one who really dares to come to the fighting arena."

"I think he is clearly a student, so go back to study quickly."

The arena is surrounded by auditoriums in a spiral shape. At the moment, there are no empty seats in the arena. At a glance, there are spectators everywhere, from various countries.

And in the center of the interior, there is a huge and vast cylindrical building. This is the underground martial arts arena, and this is the place where Jiang Ling will fight.

"Martial arts field, after hundreds of years, I'm back again."

Jiang Ling looked up and looked around, registered his name information outside, signed the certificate of life and death, and entered the fighting arena.

The moment he stepped into the arena, an invisible oppressive force was on him.

Jiang Ling frowned slightly, after so many years, the magnetic field is still there.

He had visited once hundreds of years ago and was impressed by the magnetic force here.

Due to the special terrain of Dunhuang, some places have a strong geocentric magnetic field, and this fighting arena happened to be built in the place with the strongest magnetic field.

The oppression of this magnetic force is irrespective of the target, it will act on all participants in the martial arts arena, even Jiang Ling cannot be immune.

Once it enters, the gravity it bears will increase by 10 times, making it difficult for ordinary warriors to walk.

This is what Jiang Ling fears.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2145th martial arts arena. I am the host of this session, Taishan. Without further ado, I will immediately introduce the situation of this martial arts arena."

The lights shone in midair, and a man in a white suit was holding an inscription card, shouting excitedly into the microphone.

"The number of participants in this martial arts arena is the largest in history, reaching 1 people. They come from all over the world, and there are even wild beasts and monsters."

"Wow!"

A few simple words instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience.

"Among them, there is a contestant who is the most concerned by everyone. That's right, it is Jiang Ling. He will have a life-and-death battle with the world's No.1, Qilian Mountain."

The host yelled into the microphone: "Qi Lianshan is already waiting for him at the top of the 99th floor, but Jiangling needs to rely on his own strength to fight from the bottom to the 99th floor, only then can he be qualified to challenge the global No.1!"

"Wow."

The endless crowd roared excitedly, they liked this kind of exciting life-and-death battle.

"Among the 13902 people, only one person can challenge Qilian Mountain. Who is that person? Jiangling? Or is there another dark horse!"

"And can Jiang Ling successfully climb to the top and challenge Qilian Mountain? Or will he be killed by other participants halfway? Don't worry, the battle of life and death begins now!"

As soon as the words fell, countless iron doors on the ground floor were opened, and countless figures poured out, filling the ground of the ground floor.

Everyone's face was cold, with a murderous look on their faces.

Jiang Ling stood on the side, not in a hurry to make a move. The rules of the underground martial arts arena are completely different from those of the Colosseum.

The Colosseum is a one-on-one duel, but here it is an indiscriminate melee, all the way to the top, and the only winner is taken.

From the first floor to the second floor, there is only one door.

Only when a certain number of people on the first floor die, the door to the second floor will automatically open.

In the same way, until the 99th floor, only one person can walk through that door.

Everyone who wants to stand on the 99th floor, the highest point, has to climb out of the pile of dead people. Qilian Mountain, as the No.1 in the world, is recommended by various forces to go to the 99th floor. He specializes in life-and-death battles with the winners. He is quite special. .

"Hit, kill!"

The onlookers are all crazy. There are two good shows to watch today, one is a melee with ten thousand people, and the next is the 99th-floor top-level confrontation, which is more exciting than the other.

As the audience roared and shouted, the people in the martial arts arena fought frantically with red eyes.

But Jiang Ling didn't do anything, just stood in a remote corner and watched.

He is not interested in melee battles. The strength gap between those people is too great. There is an alchemy stage and an acquired stage. Let them fight each other and kill some people first.

Jiang Ling has experience in martial arts arenas and is very good at these.

But he didn't ask for trouble, but the trouble himself came to the door.

A large group of people noticed Jiang Ling, and immediately showed ferocious eyes: "Are you Jiang Ling who is going to fight the No. 1 in the world this time?"

The previous wave of hype, coupled with the overwhelming gambling market on the dark net, made all the participants in this life-and-death battle pay attention to Jiangling, and naturally recognized it at a glance.

Jiang Ling didn't say anything, just looked at them indifferently.

"Hmph, what are you pretending to be, but you still want to challenge No.1? I think you can't even make it through the first floor."

Everyone looked at Jiang Ling with hot eyes.

If Jiang Ling can be killed on the first floor, then they will be the focus of the audience!
In an instant, a group of people with red eyes roared and rushed towards Jiangling.

Killing Jiang Ling is also a good opportunity to prove himself, countless people are watching!

"Get out." Jiang Ling said calmly without changing his face.
