C87

Danger lurked in every corner!

Donna, the Magic Archer who was supposed to be famous for her dexterity, was running around in all directions when she was chased. The occasional arrow or two she fired was also disorderly, lacking any accuracy.

However, the earth element warrior, who should have been suppressed to focus on defense, was like an agile warrior, striking his opponent in all directions.

"Too slow," Lily concluded with a frown.

Xue'er nodded in agreement. "It's not that my opponent is fast, but that Miss Donna herself is too slow. She's slow to the point that she's on par with an earth-attributed warrior that is famous for his steadiness. Really …"

Link didn't say a word, but Sam blushed.

"Large... Big guy! You want to kill... "Kill me!" Donna ran and gasped for breath while she found a gap to shoot an arrow at her opponent. The other side easily brushed her aside with her sword. "Dammit, if you really dare to hurt me, I …" My grandfather will definitely not let you off! "

"Hehehe," the brawny man laughed with a big, honest mouth. He didn't seem to care at all about Donna's threat, and he brandished his broadsword even more vigorously. After brushing past Donna several times, her pretty face turned deathly pale from fright, but due to the onlookers, she didn't even want to admit defeat.

The situation fell into a deadlock.

A big man wielding a greatsword was in hot pursuit while a frightened little beauty was screaming and running away.

Seeing that no one could do anything to them, the audience gradually lost interest. The shouts gradually gave Donna a great deal of trouble.

She was a very distracting person.

"What are you shouting for? Stop shouting!" "Ahhh!" It was only then that she realized that this fiendish looking fellow really dared to kill her. And here, her grandfather and mother, as well as the huge Qing Feng Clan were unable to provide any help to her, she was only herself, and the cultivation she had been negligent in so many years that it caused her to experience a kind of heartache, helplessness, and an unprecedented self-reflection. She bit her lip and ran without a word, tears in her eyes. She poured all her energy into the arrow and thought back to what her mentor and elders had said during the training. She seemed to have improved a little.

After holding on for a while, the opponent finally found a chance to strike her down with the sword spine on her back. She spat out a mouthful of blood on the edge of the stone platform, and Donna slightly opened her eyes, thinking, "As a member of the Qing Feng family, I at least managed to make the arena bloodstained, right?"

Sam panicked and ran to Donna's side to help her up. "Little aunt, are you alright?" Do you have any bad feelings? I'll go call the doctor! "

Donna felt warm and sad at the same time. "Maybe it's the meticulous care and concern of the whole family that makes me forget myself, leaving only myself in the eyes?"

Lin Ke nodded his thanks to the strong man on the stone platform before coming to Donna's side. She was already able to stand up with Sam's help. She didn't seem to be too seriously injured.

She didn't want to look at him, and she didn't want him to see her in such a sorry state.

"You are sixteen years old," Rincewind said, blocking her path. "If there was too much love in the past to get in your way, you can open your eyes now."

Donna frowned and glared fiercely at Linke. The latter stared back at her without saying anything. After a long time, tears rolled down her face. "You want to see me in such a miserable state so much?!" Are you happy now?! "

Lin Ke shook his head, walked to her side and gently hugged her, "In this world, where is the little brother that thinks big sister is ugly?" You know what? When you gave up everything and relied on your tears to run on the stage, you would truly exude an enchanting brilliance, because at that time, you were only yourself and not a little girl hiding under someone else's halo. Opening your eyes and seeing the world felt really good right? "

Donna cried like a child. After a long time, she nodded and said, "Cohen, you said I'd be like Xue'er, right?"

"I will definitely learn from him," Lin Ke paused for a moment. "He doesn't look like one."

Donna gave him a playful smack. "You're annoying, aren't you?"

Lin Ke smiled bitterly and said, "You can get up now."

"Who cares?" Donna wrinkled her nose and left Lin Ke's embrace, her nose straight up as she said, "Sam, let's go back to the Qing Feng family's company. Aunt is really a bit tired today."

She also had her pride.

"It's very similar to a couple making fun of each other." Xue'er hummed in jealousy, while Lilisse nodded in agreement.

Lin Ke felt a headache coming on. "Donna is my cousin, stop messing around!"

"Cousin's marriage to his cousin is a very normal thing. I didn't expect that our young master Cohen was actually a conservative person," Xue'er pouted, not intending to give up on this topic.

Only then did Link remember that he still retained Earth's habit of thinking about this matter, but he didn't know that the so-called genetic inheritance was not popular here.

Thinking of this, his heart turned cold.

They all got into Hubert's buggy again.

Although this was his second time sitting in a buggy, Link did have a crush on this malevolent looking buggy. Of course, it was rather spacious.

"Cohen, it's time to give up after winning the bet. Although everyone's eyes are red with envy after this round, it would be difficult to win if this continues right?" Hubert tried his best to persuade Heller to give him a look, hoping to gain the elder's support. After his victory over Link, he had already told him the truth.

"You guys did well this time. I bet ten gold coins on each of you. It was a small profit, but it was all done in the second round. It was a wise man's doing to withdraw his hands at the right time."

Hubert's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Seven …" Seventh Grandpa, you … "

Heller smiled, a little embarrassed, and stopped talking.

"Blind bets are not advisable. Big Cousin Seventh Grandpa, don't worry. How could I act in such a hasty manner?" Lin Ke spoke with righteousness.

Hubert was about to happily nod his head when he heard Lin Ke add, "However, when the match plans are out, we can properly plan them out. For example, if we know our opponents well enough, then we'll be able to win every battle. For example, this time, Lily has defeated a celebrity seeded contestant and we've actually lost quite a number of them, so after the battle charts are out, her odds will definitely rise to an extremely high level. Sigh, she's still too young.

Hubert "…"

But then again, I'm afraid that the second round won't be on Lilisse, she defeated the star seeded contestant this time, and unless she meets the number one ranked star seed contestant, the odds of her defeating the strong opponent will also be shockingly low. But then again, I'm afraid that the second round won't be on Lilisse, and this time, she defeated the star seed contestant, unless she meets the number one ranked star contestant, then the odds of her defeating the strong opponent will also be shockingly low. Lin Ke chuckled.

"Then at least set aside your original capital. Even if you lose the second round, you won't be able to win," Hubert said, grinding his teeth.

"Of course. I must return Xue'er and the other two's capital, but I'll be fine with mine. If I lose, then I'll just follow Seventh Grandpa back to the Wind City. At worst, I'll just be punished," Lin Ke shamelessly said.

"You don't need to return it to me, I will follow you back," Neil said, laughing as he quietly conversed with the kitten girl, Merry.

"I believe you," Lilisse said very rarely. "You don't have to give it back to me."

"Ai," Xue'er sighed. "If you guys go back after losing, what's the point of staying in the academy by myself?"

Hubert and Mento were silent.

Heller and Harris nodded slightly.

Some people were born different.

"Hahaha, you make it sound as if I'm definitely going to lose," he laughed out loud, his heart full of pride. He turned around and said to the crowd that was getting off the bug, "Even if I meet the number one star seeded player Martin, I'll let him know that it won't be that easy to win against me, Cohen's money. I'll win in the end!"

"Humph!"

The cheers from the crowd did not come, but a burst of cold laughter was heard from behind him. Lin Ke turned around to see a well-proportioned young man with a face full of disdain looking at him.

"Brother, is there a problem?" Link smiled.

"Martin can't be defeated by anyone," the stocky man said as he shook the big bag in his hand, "I'm here to bet on him. If it's not for you, you'd better not run into Martin, otherwise, no matter how much you bet, you'll definitely lose!"

"Alright, but you probably haven't heard that the number two star seeded contestant was killed by a girl and didn't get the chance to enter the second round." Lin Ke was in a very good mood, so he imitated the robust man and gave him a disdainful look before turning around and leaving, trying to express his intention without saying anything.

"Humph, I wish you will meet Martin as an opponent," the man said angrily. "He will beat you up into a pig head!"

Lin Ke snickered and followed everyone else.

Another guy was about to beat him up into a pig shape, but then again, he would have to send someone to ask if this guy had passed the first round. After all, it was only right for him to care about this fellow in the Wind City, so as long as his luck was not too bad, he would be able to get through the first round, right?

— —

It exceeded Linke's expectations.

Logically speaking, there were only ten days left until the second round of the competition. Eight days later, when the matchups would be released, the gambling house would have to stay quiet for a period of time. However, the reality was that people were even more popular than on the eve of the first round.

"Big Cousin, why are there so many people? The first round of the competition isn't even over yet." Lin Ke asked in confusion.

Hubert rolled his eyes, "How should I know? I'm not going to take part in the bet, hmph, but I heard that every time when the second round ends, a large number of powerful forces will secretly participate, and a large amount of money will flow in and create a huge disparity in the odds. Especially in some of the popular competitions, where the total amount of money bet on both sides would reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins."

"Tsk tsk, no one knows how many people became rich overnight, but there must be a lot of people that jumped from poverty to poverty overnight," Lin Ke shook her head. "Huh?"

He actually met an unexpected acquaintance.
