Chapter 76 Xuanzi: You must have seen it wrong.
"Are you blind? What kind of weaklings are Shrek Academy facing? Shrek Academy is getting weaker and weaker. Apart from that girl in red, I don't know what chance they have of winning. I bet two hundred gold soul coins on the Sun Moon Champion!"
"What you bet on, what you bet on is none of your business. Shrek Academy isn't useless; they've maintained this level of strength for all these years, okay?"
"Yes, yes, look for the reasons within yourselves. Has your insight improved over the years? Have you made an effort to study the situation?"
"What the hell are you spouting?! What does my judgment have to do with Shrek Academy trash?!"
"Okay, I'm sorry."
"Fuck your mother!"
……
Seeing the bustling scene inside, Xiao Hongchen walked confidently towards the casino manager and said in a calm tone:
"Are you in charge? Tell us about the current betting odds and odds."
Upon seeing the group's lavish attire, the middle-aged man in the vest immediately smiled obsequiously:
"No problem. The biggest betting line we're currently offering is the champion's line. Shrek Academy has been the undisputed champion in major tournaments, and their current odds are about 0.5 to 1."
Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, as the second seed, has significantly higher odds, currently at 1 to 1.3. You are free to place your bets. Our betting agency is currently the largest in the Star Luo region, and our reputation is absolutely guaranteed.
The group seemed intrigued after hearing this. "Isn't this a chance to make money for free?" Lin Dong immediately turned to Jing Hongchen, gave him a wink, and chuckled.
"Dean, how much funding do you have left?"
"There are still more than 30 million left."
"Why don't you lend them all to me, and we'll split the profits 50/50 afterwards?"
Seeing the expression on Lin Dong's face, Jing Hongchen pointed at him and shook her head with a smile:
"You little rascal, you really don't miss any opportunity to make money."
Then Lin Dong used the same trick again, borrowing from all the team members present, and finally gathered 36,805,112 gold soul coins, throwing all his assets, in both whole and small amounts, to the manager.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged manager bowed obsequiously, but still hesitated before asking:
"Sir, are you sure you want to bet everything you have? Let me remind you, Shrek Academy is currently the biggest favorite to win the championship."
Lin Dong smiled faintly and nodded: "Okay, I'll bet on the sun and moon, all of them."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man had no choice but to accept the money and jogged away. After a while, he handed Lin Dong a receipt with both hands:
"Please take this, esteemed guest. If the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy does indeed win the championship, you can use this document to redeem your due reward at our casino."
Lin Dong took the note, nodded, thanked them, and left the casino with Jing Hongchen and the others.
As soon as Lin Dong left, the previously tense atmosphere in the casino was broken, and countless people began placing bets frantically on Shrek Academy.
It's not easy to find a sucker who's raised the odds for Shrek. If you don't act now, you'll lose money when the odds drop.
Only a very few people glanced at Lin Dong and his companions with pity. Poor guys, they used their entire fortune to benefit others...
The next day.
The first match was between Shrek Academy and Imperial Academy.
In the team competition, after several days of intense soul power activation, even with Ling Luochen's help, Ma Xiaotao still lost her mind and killed two Soul Masters from the Imperial Academy.
Seeing her eyes suddenly turn bloodshot, someone couldn't help but gasp in surprise:
"An evil...evil spirit master! Is this girl in red an evil spirit master?!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the arena, with the audience's heated discussions even overshadowing the intensity of the competition.
After Jiang Peng, the captain of Di'ao Academy, announced his defeat with a livid face, the scene at the match erupted in cheers.
"No wonder that girl in red could break people's arms and legs with a single move, and even kill someone today. Look at her eyes, they're absolutely terrifying!"
"Yeah, yeah, Shrek Academy has really gone mad! Why are they sending out evil spirit masters? Are they playing with Shrek Academy's millennia-old glory?!"
However, Shrek's die-hard fans were immediately displeased and angrily retorted:
"You're talking nonsense! I won't allow you to talk about Shrek like that. Shrek is the best academy in the world, how could they do such a thing?"
"That's right, our Shrek Academy is truly outstanding. Do you know how difficult it is for them to silently protect the peace of the continent?!"
"Stop spouting nonsense! This girl isn't an evil spirit master, I'll just eat her..."
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Before he could finish speaking, a figure pulled him out of the audience. It was none other than the Gluttonous Douluo, Elder Xuanzi, with a serious expression.
Xuanzi brought the person who said Ma Xiaotao was an evil soul master onto the arena and said in an icy tone:
"Take a good look, is she an evil spirit master?"
Feeling the terrifying force coming from above, only a fool would say yes, right? He immediately trembled and nodded repeatedly:
"No, no, this young lady is so elegant and graceful, she's clearly a peerless genius that only Shrek Academy could cultivate. How could she possibly be that hateful evil spirit master? I just lost my mind and talked nonsense!"
Xuanzi snorted coldly after hearing this, snatched the referee's megaphone, and, adopting a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, said in a deep voice:
"Please be quiet, everyone. As you all heard, he just said he misread it. Shrek Academy has always upheld the principles of magnanimity and peace, so I will forgive him on behalf of our students."
"We can't call our students evil spirit masters just because they were too eager to win and accidentally killed someone. If we make such a hasty judgment, then what about all the people who died in Xingluo before? Doesn't that mean..."
At this point, Xuanzi glanced meaningfully at the sun and moon, smiled faintly, and remained silent.
Seeing that the people of the Sun and Moon Sect ignored his attempt to shift the blame eastward, he then added:
"As an elder of the academy, I naturally cannot stand by and watch our student be wronged. Our student is currently at the level of a Soul Emperor of level 68, and his Martial Soul is the most talented Evil Fire Phoenix."
Possessing power approaching the pinnacle of fire, how dare you slander her as an evil spirit master? I declare here and now, anyone who dares to slander her without evidence is slandering Shrek Academy!
Hearing him utter such a grand claim, no one in the audience dared to question him anymore. However, this explanation obviously couldn't convince all 200,000-plus people in the audience.
Many people's eyes were filled with deep suspicion, but they couldn't say it out loud out of respect for Shrek.
Seeing that the audience's emotions had stabilized, Xu Jiawei knew it was time to display the emperor's majesty, and immediately coughed lightly:
"Elder Xuan, please return the amplifying soul tool to the referee. Your actions have violated the competition rules. This is a warning."
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Xuanzi ignored Xu Jiawei's threat, casually tossed the amplifying soul tool to the referee, and slowly walked off the stage.
Lin Dong looked at Jing Hongchen and teased with a smile, "This Gluttonous Douluo you mentioned seems to be a bit domineering..."
