Chapter 9

“The first match… Meng Xin wins!” The host sounded surprised. Even when he announced that the results of the duel, it did not seem that he had come back to his senses.

The audience didn’t seem to be able to react because the battle had ended too quickly.

On the other hand, the people in the betting area were the first to burst out with exciting shouts!

Those who had bet on Meng Xin’s victory cheered in surprise.

Su Chen also received 120000 Yuan because he guessed correctly.

1.5 odds was not too much nor too little for Su Chen, but at least he had earned his first bucket of gold.

Before this, almost everyone who had bet on Meng Xin had felt that they had guessed wrong after hearing Young Master Guo’s analysis.

Countless people regretted not waiting a little longer. If they could have waited a little longer, they would definitely have betted correctly!

Therefore, when they saw that Su Chen’s bet was the opposite of Young Master Guo’s suggestion, they were very shocked!

Yet in reality, the actual result was contrary to Young Master Guo’s analysis!

Meng Xin’s victory had exceeded the expectations of the participants in the bet, Young Master Guo, and everyone else!

Yet, it did not seem to be out of the expectations of the 18-year-old boy from Binhai First High!

After the first match ended, everyone’s eyes once again looked at Su Chen.

However, unlike the surprise and anger from before, the emotions in their eyes this time were completely replaced with puzzlement!

Why didn’t he look surprised at all?

Why did he look as if you had long expected this result?

This was a match that even Young Master Guo had predicted would fail!

“However, I don’t think Young Master Guo is to blame for the failure in predicting the victor. After all, Meng Xin’s talent has advanced to the second rank, which is just beyond everyone’s expectations!” It was unknown who said such, but many similar voices appeared on the scene.

They subconsciously wanted to give Young Master Guo a way out while being unwilling to believe that Su Chen’s prediction was right.

“This kid put all his money in on the first bet and doesn’t even seem to know the rules. How could he have predicted the victor when even Young Master Guo had failed!”

“He must have just been betting! A lucky guess! He won’t be so lucky in the next match!”

“That’s right. Let’s wait for the next match and see if this kid can still predict the victor correctly!”

The chaotic scene made Young Master Guo’s mood even more chaotic. His tightly furrowed brows only slowly relaxed when the next match was about to begin.

Just as everyone was waiting for Young Master Guo to analyze the outcome of the second duel, Young Master Guo turned his head to look at Su Chen and asked in a questioning voice, “How did you guess that Meng Xin would win?”

In the office of the arena, the mustache man with a coat looked at the surveillance screen in surprise.

Su Chen’s confident face and Young Master Guo’s puzzled eyes were engraved on the screen.

“This kid… He must have been lucky, right? Young Master Guo is a famous data analysis expert. How could this kid discover something that even he didn’t? This… This 18-year-old kid can’t really be thinking of fighting with the weeping corpse bird, right?”

…

In the VIP lounge, Zhang Tong was watching the recording of the first match.

The blonde guy beside him looked at the results of the first match and started to ridicule Young Master Guo in disdain, “Is Young Master Guo really capable? He’s a master of data analysis, yet his predictions are not even as accurate as a kid’s random guess?”

The underling behind the blonde man also smiled and said, “Isn’t that so? Everyone says that Young Master Guo is the best among the younger generation in Binhai City, but he can’t even compare to a kid. What a joke!”

“Number one in the younger generation? Did my big brother Zhang agree to this saying? Is Young Master Guo even worthy of that title?”

As everyone was talking and laughing, a staff member suddenly walked in from the door.

The staff member handed a name list to Zhang Tong and explained respectfully, “Mr. Zhang Tong, we’ve arranged the best rounds for you. Only the previous victors have the right to challenge you!”

Zhang Tong nodded without saying a word and said indifferently, “As long as my opponent is the strongest, it’s fine. My purpose is to kill someone as a warning to the others anyway.”

Hearing this, the staff member nodded and left. As he was leaving, he heard the conversation between the blonde man and the others.

“Oh, so this kid’s name is Su Chen. To think he dared to challenge the weeping corpse bird at the age of eighteen. No matter if he wins or loses, I’ll admit that he’s better than Young Master Guo though…”

As he left the room, the staff member could no longer hear the rest of the conversation. He only had a vague impression of the two words “Su Chen.”

It wasn’t until the staff retreated to the martial artist registration desk and looked at the name list on the table that he suddenly remembered the boy, “So Su Chen is the boy who will be fighting the weeping corpse bird. What did he do? How did he get involved with Young Master Guo? This can’t do, I have to tell the boss …”

In the betting area, everyone’s eyes were on Su Chen and Young Master Guo.

They were looking forward to Young Master Guo’s analysis of the situation in the second duel, but they were even more looking forward to Su Chen making the opposite bet from Young Master Guo!

Young Master Guo’s expression was still strange, and he didn’t look at the information for the second match.

Instead, he continued to look at Su Chen, waiting for an answer.

Su Chen did not intend to answer Young Master Guo’s question.

After all, he didn’t have any keen observation skills.

The only reason he could tell who won was thanks to Monopoly.

However, he seemed to have underestimated Young Master Guo’s stubbornness. His eyes stared straight at Su Chen, making him feel uncomfortable.

He had no choice but to start talking nonsense with a serious face, “Senior, since you insist on asking, then allow me to embarrass myself by explaining.”

It was only after hearing this that Young Master Guo’s expression finally relaxed a little.

However, this was difficult for Su Chen. He could only try hard to recall the identity and characteristics of the two participants in the first duel, then think about what nonsense he could say.

“The reason why I determined that Meng Xin would win the first duel is that… His hand! The hair on his arms seemed to all be a combination of two! This is a sign that his talent has advanced to the second rank!” Su Chen didn’t care if the others understood or not. He had already finished.

As for whether this was true or false, he did not care if others doubted him. Either way, with the support of Monopoly, Su Chen was confident that he would be able to guess correctly every time!

Before listening to the explanation, Young Master Guo’s mood was sunny, but after hearing the explanation, his mood was instantly stormy.

“That brat … The hair of his arms had always been as such! So … How did you guess it, or can you really tell?” Young Master Guo thought about it for a while, then asked Su Chen, “Then who do you think will win the second duel?”

The surrounding people who were waiting for Young Master Guo’s answer never thought that he would ask this 18-year-old student.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were on Su Chen, waiting for his answer.

Su Chen glanced around and looked at the arena, quietly waiting for the second contestant to come on stage.

Ten seconds… Twenty seconds… Thirty seconds…

[Ding! Player Xu Yu has reached the arena and paid 3 blood-qi points of toll, as well as 3000 Yuan!]

[Ding! Player Long Jiachi has reached the arena and paid 6 blood-qi points, as well as 70000 Yuan!]

According to the toll collected by Monopoly, Long Jiachi must be stronger than Xu Yu.

Neither of them had awakened their talents, so their respective blood-qi points were an even more important marker.

In other words, the person with higher blood-qi points would have a higher chance of winning.

In other words, Long Jiachi would most likely win this match.

Just as everyone was getting impatient, Su Chen finally opened his mouth slowly. He stared at the guy who had paid less toll in cash and began to talk nonsense, “Look at the pattern on Long Jiachi’s left shoe. There’s an obvious stain on it, so his steps are not steady. Therefore, Long Jiachi will lose this match.”

After saying that, he bet all the 120000 he had just won on Xu Ke!
