After an unremarkable game of chess ended, the host's voice sounded again.
"Dear audience, preparations for the next game have begun."
"The two contestants are the level 37 Soul Master Dai Mubai, nicknamed the Evil Eyed White Tiger, and his opponent is Li Erniu, a level 39 Soul Master, whose martial soul is the mountain cat."
"Please prepare yourselves, both contestants."
When Ye Liangchen heard that Dai Mubai was going to play in the competition, he immediately became interested.
"Zhu Qing, wait a moment, I'll go place the bet."
After instructing Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Liangchen directly opened the door of the hall, walked to the counter and asked the beautiful staff member.
"Miss, is there any betting opening for the match between Dai Mubai, the evil-eyed white tiger, and Li Erniu, the mountain cat?"
The beautiful staff member smiled sweetly: “Sir, every fighting spirit match in our Soto Arena has a handicap.
"The current odds are 2 to 1, Li Erniu's odds are 1, and Dai Mubai's odds are 2."
The staff checked the handicap comparison between Dai Mubai and Li Erniu and patiently told Ye Liangchen.
"Okay then. I'll bet 3,000 gold soul coins on Dai Mubai to win."
Ye Liangchen directly bet 3,000 gold soul coins, betting on Dai Mubai to win. Although Li Erniu's soul power is higher than Dai Mubai's, his mountain cat martial spirit cannot be compared with the evil-eyed white tiger.
"Yes sir."
After the staff placed a bet for Ye Liangchen, they also gave him an exchange card. After the game, if he won, he could directly exchange it for gold soul coins.
After Ye Liangchen placed his bet, some other people also came to place their bets. Among them was a middle-aged man with a big belly who analyzed the strength of Dai Mubai and Li Erniu to some people. Then he decisively bet on Dai Mubai to win, which surprised Ye Liangchen. This guy has a good eye.
But some people did not listen to him and directly bet on Li Erniu. They believed that Li Erniu's soul power was two levels higher than Dai Mubai's and he would definitely win.
At this time, the middle-aged man looked at Ye Liangchen and asked with a smile: "Little brother, who do you bet on to win?"
"I bet on Dai Mubai to win." Ye Liangchen did not hide it.
"Well! Little brother, you really have a good vision. Wish us good luck then."
The middle-aged man said with a smile that he finally met someone who knew what he was doing.
When Ye Liangchen returned to the Tianxing room, Zhu Zhuqing came over and asked curiously, "Brother Chen, who do you bet on to win?"
"I bet on Dai Mubai to win."
"Ah! But Dai Mubai's soul power is two levels lower than Li Erniu's!"
"Zhu Qing, Li Erniu's spirit is only a mountain cat, which is much lower than the evil-eyed white tiger. The suppression of the spirit made him lose the upper hand. When I met Dai Mubai and his friends two years ago, there were only three people in Shrek Academy. Now there are new students, and he must show off in front of his new classmates, so he will win this spirit battle."
"Brother Chen, you are amazing. You have thought of this situation."
Seeing Ye Liangchen see through the problem, Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself, this man is not only incredibly powerful, but his intelligence and talent are beyond reach.
"Don't praise me, just watch the game."
Ye Liangchen smiled faintly. He didn't have any intelligence or talent. He was just cheating.
"Dear audience, the fighting spirit competition between the evil-eyed white tiger Dai Mubai and the mountain cat Li Erniu has begun."
"Please welcome the two contestants to the stage."
After the odds for the gaming competition were closed, the professional voice of the host sounded and the competition officially began.
Dai Mubai walked into the fighting arena with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. Today he wanted to perform well in front of his fellow students and maintain his demeanor as the boss.
Dai Mubai's opponent, Li Erniu, a man about 30 years old, also came to the ring.
After the two introduced their names, martial souls, and soul power levels, they immediately summoned their respective martial souls and started fighting directly.
“Ouch…”
“Meow…”
For a moment, the roars of tigers and the meows of cats could be heard on the ring. The two men fought fiercely. Ten minutes later, Dai Mubai won by relying on the advantage of his martial spirit.
In the VIP lounge of the Tianxing, Ye Liangchen watched the entire competition. He had already expected Dai Mubai to win.
"Zhu Qing, I won money. I got 6,000 gold soul coins."
"Brother Chen, just as you expected, the gold soul coins I spent before have been earned back."
Zhu Zhuqing felt that it was too easy for Ye Liangchen to make money. He earned thousands of gold soul coins in one go.
"I'll go exchange for gold soul coins and continue betting later."
In one game, Ye Liangchen earned 6,000 gold soul coins. He was in a very good mood and went directly to the counter to exchange the gold soul coins.
"Congratulations on your wealth, little brother." The fat man was also redeeming his prize. When he saw Ye Liangchen coming, he congratulated him with a smile.
"Haha...! Hey bro, you won too, let's celebrate together!"
"Little brother, let me tell you..."
After Ye Liangchen redeemed the prize, he chatted with the middle-aged fat man, waited for the next game, and continued to place bets.
"Dear audience, the next match is about to begin. It will be between the newcomer Great Soul Master Xiao Wu who possesses the Jade Rabbit Martial Spirit and the Great Soul Master Bao Qing who possesses the Iron Horn Bull Martial Spirit."
"Master Baoqing previously had two consecutive victories, and he is very strong. Dear audience, will Master Baoqing win three consecutive victories, or will Xiaowu, who has the Jade Rabbit Martial Spirit, be better? We will wait and see."
A few minutes later, the host's excited voice sounded again, which immediately aroused the audience's emotions, and Xiaowu and Baoqing's information was also projected on the big screen.
"Little brother, what do you think?" The middle-aged fat man looked at the big screen, learned about Xiao Wu and Bao Qing, and asked Ye Liangchen for his opinion.
"I bet on Xiao Wu to win, maybe I'll get something unexpected."
"Little brother, I also bet on Xiao Wu. Although Baoqing has won two consecutive victories, he is bound to be proud." The middle-aged fat man also followed Ye Liangchen to bet on Xiao Wu.
Since Xiao Wu is a newcomer, the odds are as high as 3 times, while Bao Qing had won two consecutive games before and the odds were only 1 times, so most people bet on Bao Qing.
Soon the match between Xiao Wu and Bao Qing started. Seeing that Xiao Wu was just a little girl, the audience said that she was bound to lose. Bao Qing, being a tall and strong man, also thought that Xiao Wu was bound to lose and advised her to get off quickly.
But once the battle started, Xiao Wu used her own flexibility to directly use her first soul skill, Waist Bow, on Bao Qing. In a few moves, she knocked Bao Qing off the stage. The whole process took only about 3 minutes, blinding everyone's eyes.
"Little brother, you have a good eye. I'm impressed."
When redeeming the prize, the middle-aged fat man gave Ye Liangchen a thumbs up.
"Thank you for the compliment, bro. I was just lucky."
Ye Liangchen smiled calmly, then walked to the counter and asked the beautiful waitress for the prize.
This time, he bet on Xiao Wu and won 9,000 gold soul coins. Together with the 6,000 he won before, he earned a total of 15,000 gold soul coins. Because there were too many gold soul coins, the waiter directly exchanged three gold cards for Ye Liangchen, each with a credit limit of 5,000.
This kind of Gold Soul Coin Card, just like a bank card, can be exchanged for Gold Soul Coins in money houses across the continent, and even in large hotels, you can pay directly by card, which is very convenient.
Ye Liangchen was in a good mood and directly rewarded the beautiful waitress with 100 gold soul coins, which immediately made her smile.
When returning to the VIP lounge, Ye Liangchen directly threw a gold card to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhu Qing, we made money. This is a 5,000 gold soul coin card. Keep it and we'll continue."
"Brother Chen, you make money too fast."
"Of course, if you don't make money, you're a bastard."
"Brother Chen, you are not making money! You are picking up money."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate and put away the gold soul coin card. After all, she had such a close relationship with the man in front of her, so she could be considered one of his family.
Soon the fighting arena welcomed Tang San's match. Zhu Zhuqing asked Ye Liangchen: "Brother Chen, how do we place a bet?"
"Bet on Tang San to win. Let's go and place the bet together."
Ye Liangchen took Zhu Zhuqing directly to the odds to place the bets. Seeing that the odds between Tang San and his opponent were two to one, the two of them each bet 5,000 gold soul coins. The beautiful waitress smiled and handled the betting for Ye Liangchen.
With Tang San's current strength, he can sweep away those at the same level, and fighting against opponents of higher levels is not a problem. The Great Spirit Master who fought against him only lasted two minutes before being defeated.
"Brother Chen, in just a few minutes, we have earned so many gold soul coins. This money comes too fast."
After redeeming the rewards, Zhu Zhuqing returned to the VIP lounge. She was extremely excited, thinking that if she followed this guy, she would have everything to eat and drink.
"Calm down. We only earned 35,000 gold soul coins in three games. That's nothing."
"Next, we'll bet smaller. Once we earn more than 100,000 gold soul coins, we'll leave. We can't bet too much, otherwise it will attract the attention of the higher-ups in the Soul Fighting Arena."
Tang San and Xiao Wu still have a doubles match. Ye Liangchen plans to wait until after this match and then use his spiritual sense to investigate the situation of other players in the fighting spirit field and use cheating methods to win money.
Xiao Wu and Tang San's doubles opponents are the Iron Blood Combination, a pair of twin brothers named Tielong and Tiehu. They are blacksmiths, their martial spirits are also sledgehammers, and their combat power is also very strong.
In this match, Tang San and Xiao Wu had a hard time fighting either. At the end of the battle, the Tie brothers used a soul skill called Desperate Throw, which directly shocked Tang San and made him spit blood. Xiao Wu got anxious and fired sleeve arrows directly at the vital parts of the Tie brothers' bodies.
In a hurry, Tang San immediately fired a hidden weapon, knocked away the hidden weapon shot by Xiao Wu, and saved the Tie brothers, otherwise he could not bear such responsibility.
The Iron Blood Combination didn't expect the other side to use lethal weapons, and finally had to admit defeat.
In the VIP lounge of the Tianxing, Zhu Zhuqing was very curious when she saw the last weapon Xiao Wu fired, so she asked Ye Liangchen.
"Brother Chen, what kind of weapon is that? It looks very powerful!"
"It should be a hidden weapon, a weapon specially used to attack the opponent by surprise."
"But in such an open competition, using this method to sneak attack others, it seems like they can't afford to lose."
"Kitty, I didn't expect you to see the essence of the problem. That's right, they just can't afford to lose."
After Tang San and Xiao Wu finished their match, they were about to return to the academy. Ye Liangchen no longer paid attention to them and focused his attention directly on the competitions in other fighting arenas.
Regarding the soul fighting competitions between those unfamiliar soul masters, Ye Liangchen simply released his spiritual sense to feel their true strength.
"Zhu Qing, bet 5,000 gold soul coins..."
Every time after sensing the true strength of those soul masters, Ye Liangchen immediately ordered Zhu Zhuqing to place a bet, betting only a few thousand gold soul coins each time, and it continued until the evening.
At the end of the day, he earned 160,000 gold soul coins. After Ye Liangchen exchanged the gold soul coin card, he quickly left the Soto Soul Fighting Arena with Zhu Zhuqing.
Ye Liangchen had never lost a bet, which also attracted the attention of Manager Ao. After Ye Liangchen and others left, he came to the counter to inquire about the situation.
"Xiao Rou, how much money did the guests in the VIP room of the Starry Sky win in total?"
"Manager Ao, that gentleman won a total of 160,000 gold soul coins today."
"How cruel! He only spent 5,000 gold soul coins when he came to our fighting arena, but he made 160,000."
"Boss, that gentleman knows how to make choices and doesn't upset the balance. Our bottom line is that we can win at any price below 500,000."
"That's true. It seems that although he is young, he has a lot of experience in the martial arts world."
After listening to Xiaorou's story, Manager Ao shook his head helplessly and just hoped that the customer would not come next time.
The beautiful staff member named Xiaorou also made a fortune today. Ye Liangchen rewarded her with 10,000 gold soul coins today. She was the one who secretly told Ye Liangchen the bottom line rules for winning money in the fighting soul arena.
After Xiaorou finished the last bit of work at the counter, she hurried home happily. With the 10,000 gold soul coins she earned today, she could buy a luxurious house in the Soto District.
