The Wind Thunder Arena was in a flurry. A lot of clerks were selling notes to the audience and collecting money. As long as the audience won, they could exchange the notes for mid-quality pearls. It was easy and straightforward. “I’ll bet a thousand on Ming Kun.”
“I’ll bet two thousand on Ming Kun.”
“I’ll bet a hundred on Octopus Weirdo.”
“I’ll bet a hundred on Octopus Weirdo, but a thousand on Ming Kun.”
For a moment, the arena was filled with ruckus.
Only the most prudent audience would bet on both Ming Kun and Han Fei, because by placing a thousand on Ming Kun, they would win two hundred if he won, and by placing a hundred on Han Fei, they would win nine hundred if Han Fei won. Even if Han Fei failed, they could still win a hundred.
Therefore, those who placed bets in such a way wouldn’t suffer losses no matter who won.
Of course, the bigshots in the private rooms were different.
Someone said, “Where is this idiot from? He thinks he can defeat Ming Kun? I bet 500,000 on Ming Kun.”
“I bet 200,000 on Ming Kun.”
“I bet 300,000 on Ming Kun.”
At Xia Xiaochan’s place, she simply threw 500,000 out. “I bet 500,000 on Octopus Weirdo.”
The waiter was quite stunned to hear that. “Miss, are you sure you’ll bet 500,000 on Octopus Weirdo?” The waiter felt that something was wrong with her head, or she wouldn’t have bet 500,000 on Octopus Weirdo. Xia Xiaochan simply smiled and said, “This Octopus Weirdo looks interesting. I’ll just bet on him for fun.”
In the neighboring room, Jiang Tong murmured, “Could I be wrong?”
He decided to prepare a Plan B. After hearing Ming Kun’s capabilities, he couldn’t think of a way that Cao Daqiu could win. So, he said, “I bet 500,000 on Ming Kun.”
The waiter’s eyes glittered. He didn’t expect anyone from the second-tier private rooms could be so generous. He smiled and said, “No problem, sir.”
Then, Jiang Tong spoke to everybody telepathically, Ask the others to bet the 5,500,000 on Octopus Weirdo.
But Jiang Tong didn’t use his money. He was going to watch the battle first. If Han Fei was stronger than he imagined, there were still actions he could take.
At the same time, Jiang Tong was wagering on both sides. If Cao Daqiu won, he would be earning 49,500,000, and if Ming Kun won, he would tell Cao Daqiu that he placed all his bets on him and keep his own 600,000 to himself.
It was quite lucky for Han Fei, because few students would fight in the Wind Thunder Arena on their first day in the Wind Thunder Town when they weren’t familiar with the environment yet. Also, as it happened, there were plenty of audience members on this day.
More coincidentally, Han Fei selected an opponent that nobody thought he could defeat.
Everybody booed Han Fei when he showed up. At this moment, the host roared, “Now, let’s welcome our King of Hundred Men, the Rumbling Hands, and the Battle Maniac, Ming Kun!” “Hoo000000…” “Ming Kun! Ming Kun! Ming Kun!” The female host continued, “Dear audience, raise your hands and let’s cheer for Ming Kun and Octopus Weirdo… Is Ming Kun going to secure his 138th consecutive victory, or will Octopus Weirdo break Ming Kun’s winning streak? We’ll see!”
On the field…
Ming Kun didn’t take anything but walked straight to the center of the field.
Han Fei was still smiling and hopping. He did a great job acting like a young man who had no respect for anything.
Ming Kun looked brawny and more than 28 years old, but Han Fei had read his profile and knew that he had just reached 17.
Ming Kun’s muscles were tough and bulging. Spiritual energy was raging around his hands even though he was still.
After a quick glance, Han Fei knew that the man was not weak at all. He had thought that the top experts would be concentrated in the Thousand Star City, but he seemed to be wrong. Many experts were in the Thousand Star City, but not all of them.
At the center of the arena…
Ming Kun waved his head, making his neck click. “Advanced Dangling Fisher, what emboldens you to challenge me?”
Han Fei smiled casually. “Money! I’ll make a fortune if I defeat you.”
Ming Kun grinned. “Then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”
“I don’t think so. I’ve already won since the moment you appeared in this arena.”
Ming Kun scoffed. “I won’t show you any mercy even though you are only an advanced Dangling Fisher. Everybody has to pay for their choices.”
Han Fei shot back, “But I’ll go easy on you. That’s the least I can do for making money through you.”
Ming Kun: “…”
“Humph!”
So much for trash talk.
At this moment, the male host’s voice echoed, “Wow! Tension is brewing between them. It seems that they can’t wait any longer… I hereby announce that the game will begin!”
“Ho! Ming Kun, kill him with one slap!”
“Ming Kun, finish the battle within one breath!”
“Octopus Weirdo, you’d better lie down and give up!”
Boom…
Thunder rumbled.
Ming Kun took action. The moment he took action, astounding thunder burst out, and Ming Kun’s hands were surrounded by electric arcs.
In the blink of an eye, his hands with glittering electric arts had already reached Han Fei’s face.
Han Fei was still wearing a smile, but a golden light flashed on his fist.
Boom!
In the next moment, out of everybody’s expectation, Ming Kun and Han Fei were both blown backwards. Ming Kun backed almost eight steps in a row, leaving deep footprints after each step. Han Fei’s case was almost the same.
Instantly, someone exclaimed, “Shoot! An advanced Dangling Fisher has staved off Ming Kun’s Rumbling Fist?”
“Seriously? This Octopus Weirdo is so strong?”
“I would’ve placed more bets on him if I had seen this coming.”
The host’s eyes beamed. “Wow! Our Octopus Weirdo deserves his fame! As expected of the invincible man from the Fiery Dragon Arena!”
On the field…
Ming Kun frowned. A moment ago, he only used 50% of his strength, but that was still more than what a regular peak-level Dangling Fisher could handle. No wonder this boy dared to challenge him. The boy really had abilities that were as good as a peak-level Dangling Fisher’s!
Han Fei, on the other hand, was confused. Was the King of Hundred Men in the Wind Thunder Town so weak? How could he act if he was so weak? What if he accidentally killed the man?
“Come again!”
When Ming Kun attacked again, his speed and his strength were almost doubled, and his hands were really as intimidating as lightning.
Han Fei’s eyes lit up. He didn’t know that this man was holding himself back just now!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Electric arcs and golden light raged in the field, and soil and stones were splashing.
They attacked very fast. After only several seconds, they had almost a hundred clashes. Then, both of them were blown backwards again.
Ming Kun and Han Fei were evenly matched again.
Han Fei’s hands were vaguely shivering. “As expected of the King of Hundred Men in the Wind Thunder Arena. My fists are shivering beyond my control.” “Shiver!”
Han Fei tried to shiver his hands.
However, Ming Kun’s eyes were filled with zeal. “Have you become an advanced Dangling Fisher through nothing but body tempering too?”
Han Fei turned his head. “Did you think I was kidding when I said that I was an indomitable warrior?”
The audience had already gone crazy. They were all roaring madly.
“Blood Frenzy! Blood Frenzy! Blood Frenzy!”
“Ming Kun, take him down already! We’ve all bet that you’ll win!”
“Hum…”
Airwaves spread out under Ming Kun’s feet, and a stream of energy was absorbed into his fists from the earth. His eyes turned bloodshot as he fused with the Mad Blood Worm.
Not just the Mad Blood Worm, Ming Kun was also enshrouded by the image of a Mantis Shrimp. A third eye appeared in the middle of his eyebrows.
Han Fei grinned. “Goodness. You truly are not weak…”
Han Fei was right. This Ming Kun was more than twice as strong. The Mad Blood Worm was a rampant contractual spiritual beast in the first place, and Han Fei couldn’t be more familiar with the Mantis Shrimp. His fists were so fast when the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp was fused with him that he couldn’t even see them clearly himself.
However, how could the Three-Eyed Mantis Shrimp possibly compare to the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp?
Han Fei roared, “Come on, I’ll show you my… Well, my Golden Invisible Explosive Fist…”
“Pu…”
Xia Xiaochan was having juice, only to vomit it out by Han Fei’s hilarious roar. What Golden Invisible Explosive Fist? At this moment, she finally realized that Han Fei was really not talented when it came to giving names.
If they ever had a child, she must make sure that Han Fei wouldn’t name it.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaochan blushed. She wondered why she thought about their child.
The hostess roared, “It’s coming! It’s coming! Ming Kun is about to go on a rampage. Will his battle frenzy ignite the Wind Thunder Town again? Will he cross the Wind Thunder Arena like a lightning bolt? Let’s see how Octopus Weirdo will deal with this…”
Han Fei simply raised his eyes and said casually, “Attach.”
