Chapter 21 Betting
Ning Rongrong smiled. Although she was only twelve years old, she had to admit that the harmless smile made people feel a little nervous. Shi Yi understood that the reason for this was that the superiors looked down on ants. Of course, Ning Rongrong was indeed qualified.
"Flender, who do you think you are? You are just a little Soul Saint."
Flender was not angry at her words. She smiled and said, "Yes, I am just a little Soul Saint, but you are still far from me now. Even if you are the most talented one of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, you are still just a great soul master. There is an insurmountable gap between you and me. Since you don't like this place, please leave. Shrek Academy does not welcome unruly students like you."
Afterwards, under Flender's repeated bombardment, it was difficult for normal children to resist, let alone Ning Rongrong, who had the temper of a young lady.
Soon, under Flanders's verbal attack, Ning Rongrong ran back to her room crying, and Dai Mubai went to look for Oscar at Flanders' orders.
Dai Mubai came back soon and nodded to Flanders, indicating that he had asked Oscar to comfort Ning Rongrong.
Flanders put his hands behind his back, "Okay, get ready to go. You have seen the results of Ning Rongrong and Oscar. If you want to stay here to practice, you must follow the rules of the academy. Take every class well. My words are orders here. Next, you will start your first class at Shrek. Each of you will complete your own course independently. Don't blame me for not stating it in advance. If you don't do well enough, then you will be skinned alive if you don't die."
After speaking, Flanders tiptoed to the ground, jumped out lightly, and headed towards the outside of the academy.
Everyone hurried to catch up.
Flanders always maintained a very fast speed. The one following closely behind him was naturally Dai Mubai, who had the deepest spirit power. To his surprise, Shi Yi was not much behind Dai Mubai. Even Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San were not as fast as Shi Yi.
"This kid's cultivation is not outstanding among this group of geniuses, but his strength and body coordination are very good. He perfectly transforms every bit of his strength into speed." Flanders' sharp eyes analyzed the footprints left by everyone with just a glance.
Without using martial spirits, Flanders was surprised to find that Shi Yi's footprints were even deeper than Dai Mubai's. With each step being extremely solid, the sound of his footsteps was second only to Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing.
"The other kid's footsteps must have practiced some spirit skills. He was able to easily keep up with the team without obvious footprints. His footsteps were illusory, very flexible, and his speed was only slightly slower than Zhu Zhuqing, who was a sensitive attack type."
"Xiaogang, your disciples are all excellent." Flanders sighed in his heart.
Looking at Ma Hongjun who was at the end of the team, Flanders' face darkened. He was afraid that among the six people, his disciple was the most stupid.
"I chose it myself, so I'm not angry." Flanders kept comforting himself in his heart.
It was not far from Shrek Academy to Soto City. Soon, Shrek arrived at Soto City.
Although it was dark now, Soto City seemed to have just woken up, and it was even more lively than during the day. All the shops on both sides of the street were brightly lit. Some small vendors who only opened at night also found their most familiar places to sell some snacks or small items. Obviously, Douluo Continent also had its own nightlife.
Shi Yi didn't think it was too novel. Night markets were everywhere in the previous life. Xiao Wu seemed to be very interested all the way. Zhu Zhuqing's eyes always stayed on Flanders. Compared with this lively night market, she was more concerned about what method Flanders would use to make them stronger.
Dai Mubai and Tang San were indifferent to everything around them. Their eyes seemed to be fixed on Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
As for Ma Hongjun, his eyes were not enough. His eyes were rolling around, and his target was the most characteristic position of the women on the street.
Soon, Shrek and his group came to a huge building. Shi Yi understood that this would be his main source of income for a long time in the future before he got the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Then Flanders introduced all kinds of information about the Great Soul Fighting Arena to everyone.
"It happens that there are six of you. Each of you will have a single soul fighting game and a double soul fighting game. You can discuss how to form a team. Your goal is to obtain the silver soul fighting badge before graduation." After Flanders said this, he wiped his fingertips and took out six masks from the soul guide and distributed them to everyone, asking everyone to go to the registration office to register for the soul fighting badge.
Soon Shi Yi registered himself and received the most basic iron soul fighting badge, and named himself Shuang Yi.
Then he went to the betting window without stopping, took out more than 200 gold coins he had saved from his soul guide, and took out half of them to bet on himself. As for why he didn't bet all, if he matched with his cheap junior brother during the soul fighting process, he would be in big trouble.
If he used his soul guide, Shi Yi was sure to defeat Tang San, but in such a public place, using a powerful soul guide, I'm afraid he would be remembered by others.
After doing all this, Shi Yi also came to the stands. Tang San asked curiously: "Brother, where did you go just now?"
Shi Yi shook the betting voucher in his hand and chuckled: "I heard that Shrek encourages gambling, of course I went to make money, I bet my own 100 gold soul coins."
"So much!" Xiao Wu couldn't help but exclaimed.
Ma Hongjun was also surprised, "Betting so much, aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
Shi Yi chuckled: "Except for my junior brother, I am still very confident in others."
After Shi Yi said that, Tang San also walked towards the betting window.
"Look, Junior Brother is very confident in himself and is going to earn snack money for Xiao Wu." Shi Yi chuckled and joked.
Xiao Wu blushed and glared at Shi Yi and said, "What's it to you! Damn bitch!"
Shi Yi smiled and didn't care about Xiao Wu's insults. After all, soul beasts don't talk to humans in a civilized manner.
Dai Mubai sneered at this time and said, "If the money in the Great Soul Fighting Arena is so easy to make, the Great Soul Fighting Arena would have been closed long ago."
Shi Yi didn't say anything. Compared with debate, Shi Yi prefers to speak with facts. This not only slapped his face, but also made him pretend.
Listening to Dai Mubai's words against Shi Yi, Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly when standing aside. She felt that Dai Mubai was a little too much, but she didn't say anything.
Flanders watched all this and didn't stop it. In his teaching philosophy, competition is a good thing. As long as you don't hurt others, everything is within the controllable range. Even negative emotions can often promote the positive development of soul masters.
Not long after, Tang San also came back with the betting certificate.
Soon, the matchmaking mechanism of the Grand Fighting Spirit Arena began to work, and Shi Yi was notified by the Grand Fighting Spirit Arena staff to go on stage, and everyone moved to Shi Yi's stand to watch the game.
As Shi Yi stepped on stage, he roughly knew some information about the opponent.
"Great soul master, middle-aged, looks majestic, with well-developed limbs and muscles, no doubt a beast soul master." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.
At this time, Shi Yi had also slowly walked onto the stage. After the host's introduction, he knew that the other party's martial soul was a giant grizzly bear.
No one cheered. Most people in the stands showed the enthusiasm of gamblers in their eyes. Players like Shi Yi who had just registered would be immediately targeted by these gamblers. In the eyes of these gamblers, Shi Yi was a fat sheep, because most newcomers would lose to these veterans. After all, geniuses are a minority.
The middle-aged man saw that Shi Yi was very young and had an extraordinary temperament, and he couldn't help but smile contemptuously. A trace of lust flashed in his turbid eyes. The reason was that Shi Yi's appearance was no different from those tender and tender noble young masters.
Shi Yi and Tang San both had martial arts skills. Due to the combing of the meridians by the twelve meridians, although Shi Yi had been working for years, except for some calluses on his hands, the rest of his skin was white and tender.
"The game begins!" The host's voice echoed in the arena.
"Boy, let your uncle teach you the first lesson in the world of soul masters." The middle-aged man said arrogantly.
After that, the middle-aged man summoned his martial soul and soul rings. As the name suggests, a shadow of a giant bear appeared behind him. The soul rings were also the classic civilian configuration, two white and yellow rings.
Shi Yi smiled disdainfully, and the soul rings around him lit up. A black shadow instantly appeared beside Shi Yi, instantly making the middle-aged man feel like he was facing a great enemy.
Xiao Yi also rubbed Shi Yi's calf. At this time, Xiao Yi had grown a lot bigger.
"Thousand... Qianjun Ant! Soul beast? Host!" The middle-aged man felt the terrifying aura emitted by Xiao Yi and hurriedly said to the host who was flying low not far away.
Everyone in the Shrek stands was surprised. At this time, Flanders also understood why his old friend would accept Shi Yi as his disciple.
"It's really like him, Xiaogang." Flanders sighed in his heart.
The host obviously had not seen much of the world. He flew to Shi Yi's side cautiously and said, "Young man, please explain this..."
"It's obvious that I didn't have a beast soul. Xiao Yi is my martial soul. My martial soul has mutated." Shi Yi explained to the host.
After that, Shi Yi took back Xiao Yi and summoned Xiao Yi again to prove the truth of his words.
"It's really a martial soul. There is no foul. The game is valid." The host was a little surprised.
Shi Yi touched Xiao Yi's head, said something to Xiao Yi, and then hooked his finger at the middle-aged man.
Looking at Shi Yi's confident look, the middle-aged man felt a little weak. After all, Shi Yi had two hundred-year soul rings and a special mutation. It seemed unlikely that he could be his opponent.
Shi Yi saw that the middle-aged man had not made any movement for a long time and became a little impatient. He said, "Do you want to fight or not? If you don't decide, I will make a move."
After that, the moment when Shi Yi's first and second soul rings lit up, the middle-aged man hurriedly said to the host, "Host, I admit defeat."
Shi Yi was also disappointed when he saw this. He still wanted to evaluate Xiao Yi's fighting power in detail.
The middle-aged man's surrender instantly ignited the stands. Obviously, most gamblers had placed bets on the middle-aged man. For a while, the stands were filled with shouting and cursing. The middle-aged man also knew that he had offended the public, so he hurriedly left through the special channel for the players.
Shi Yi saw this and said, "Host, it's time to announce the result."
The host said, "Grizzly admits defeat, Battle Soul Master, Shuang Yi won, and the record is one win and zero losses. Please go to register your points after you step down."
Then Shi Yi went down to register his points and cashed in the bet voucher by the way. In an instant, he got the three hundred gold soul coins plus the principal.
"Two to one, not bad, it seems that the odds are evaluated according to the soul power level." Shi Yi murmured.
Shi Yi smiled and soon returned to the stands with his purse.
"Dean, why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity to make money? Bet on Xiao San, you won't lose." Shi Yi said to Flanders while weighing the purse.
"Are you confident?" Flanders said uncertainly.
"Xiao San is the strongest here, and the level range is low, so it's still a mess, isn't it?" Shi Yi said to Flanders.
As soon as the voice fell, Flanders' figure disappeared in front of everyone, and Shi Yi also went to the place where the bets were placed. Seeing that his teacher had gone, Ma Hongjun also followed.
As for Xiao Wu, she was penniless, and Xiao Wu asked Zhu Zhuqing with some curiosity: "Zhu Qing, aren't you going?"
"I'm not short of money." Zhu Zhuqing said lightly, and Xiao Wu was envious.
Dai Mubai was also tempted to see this. He often spent money in Soto City, so he naturally needed money, but he couldn't lose face.
This time, Shi Yi bet everything on Tang San. Seeing that Shi Yi had bet everything, Flanders, who originally wanted to bet only a part of it, also took out a card from his soul guide.
Perhaps because of Tang San's soul power level, Tang San's odds were not high, only one to one, but it could also double the gold coins.
Not long after, everyone returned and looked at Tang San's opponent, and everyone couldn't help but smile.
Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing belonged to the same level range, and it was also a coincidence that they met each other.
Shi Yi also smiled at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Lucky, it's a good thing Zhuqing didn't go to buy with us."
"I may not lose." Zhu Zhuqing frowned and said lightly.
Shi Yi nodded without refutation. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a flash of appreciation in his eyes and said meaningfully, "Don't succumb to fate, you will definitely become a strong man."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrows softened slightly when she heard this, and said, "Thank you."
At this time, Dai Mubai, who was not far away, clenched his fists tightly and looked at Shi Yi gloomily.
After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she glanced at Tang San and went to the Douhun Channel. When Tang San was about to follow, he was grabbed by Dai Mubai's shoulder.
Dai Mubai's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and whispered, "Xiao San, be gentle."
Tang San smiled slightly, nodded to him, and then went to the stage through the Douhun Channel.
Shi Yi smiled. No matter how he thought about it, Zhu Zhuqing could not be Tang San's opponent, unless Zhu Zhuqing at this time could be so fast that Tang San could not react, but this was impossible.
According to his evaluation, Tang San's foundation was unmatched among the same level. Even if he was, he might only be better in terms of strength. In other places, he was far inferior to Tang San.
