Chapter 333. Gamblers will end up with nothing
Xia Feng was thinking.
Cheap Adoptive Father: Honestly, kid, this might be a great opportunity to make a fortune. You could lose every second between 3 and 300 seconds, so I've set 298 different odds. See if you have a chance of losing at 59 seconds. The odds at that point are a whopping 10 to 1, the highest of the 298. How about I bet 2 million and give you half?
Xia Feng: “???”
[Xia Feng: Didn’t we agree that even if we lose, we have to lose standing?]
[Cheap adoptive father: There's no contradiction between losing while standing and making money while lying down. We're all adults now, it's time to understand the truth of 'having it all', kid~]
[Xia Feng: Haha (smiles), I suggest you bet on me to win~]
Cheap Adoptive Father: Yeah, it's good to be confident, but if you face reality, remember to lose within 59 seconds!
Seeing this, Xia Feng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He lowered his head and thought about it. In addition to these 298 odds, there were still two odds left. One was that he won, and the other was that he was killed instantly. Both were as high as 100 times. For everyone, these were extremely high-risk and extremely high-reward options.
After thinking for a moment, he sent another message to Wei Shutong.
[Xia Feng: Help me invest 100,000, I win!]
[Cheap adoptive father: Are you sure? ]
[Xia Feng: I'll transfer the money to you after the fight. Old Wei, please advance the money for me first.]
[Cheap adoptive father: Gamblers will end up with nothing. ]
[Xia Feng: Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, I'm very sober.]
[Cheap adoptive father: OK]

Meanwhile, in the referee's room.
Because this fair duel was too intense due to the instigation of an unknown mastermind, the Holy Ministry specially dispatched Chen Xingdao, the captain of the seventh team, to the scene to maintain order.
"Sword Demon, why are you here?"
Chen Xingdao frowned doubtfully, "The chief sent our seventh team to take charge of the scene."
Freya looked calm and smiled gently, "Master Chen, my students are competing today. Can't I come and watch?"
Student? Chen Xingdao narrowed his eyes slightly. It was the first time he saw the Blade Demon pay so much attention to a student.
There are a total of four fair duels today, and the most watched one is undoubtedly the duel between the two geniuses Yan Xujia and Xia Feng.
One is the son of a marquis who has been famous for a long time, and the other is a freshman who suddenly became famous in recent days.
He didn't know much about the freshman Chen Xingdao, but he had done some thorough research on Yan Xujia, the son of the Marquis.
In his freshman year, he ranked first by a large margin in the spiritual pressure test, and won 18 consecutive games in the college challenge tournament, setting a record of being undefeated. In his sophomore year, he was specially recruited into the Black Moon Church, and once again fought his way out of the Knight Corps with an invincible attitude. He was promoted to Silver Armor in half a year, and won the title of Guardian in a year. There is no doubt that he will have a place in the Black Moon Paladins in the future. Coupled with his status as the son of a marquis, his future is limitless.
After Chen Xingdao finished reading Yan Xujia's information, he said that this boy was so terrifying that he must not be kept.
"Master Chen, who do you think will win the final duel?" Freya asked.
Although Chen Xingdao has a gloomy villain-like appearance with a hooked nose and slanted eyes, he is actually a Taoist priest. After joining the Imperial Holy Department, he still likes to dress in Taoist clothes, so people who know him call him Taoist Chen.
Hearing Dao Mo's question, Chen Xingdao pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Xia Feng is in great danger today."
"Is that so."
Freya lowered her eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh. She had heard about the bet between Xia Feng and Yan Xujia, that the loser would be exiled to southern Xinjiang. She didn't know what Xia Feng was thinking. He dared to accept such a bet. It was really reckless.
She was originally planning to accept Xia Feng as her apprentice, but now it seems that it will be even more difficult.
The only solution was for her to follow Xia Feng directly to southern Xinjiang, which made her very hesitant.
"when--"
The bell tolled, and the third bout ended. A solemn announcement sounded in the arena:
"The fourth fair duel will begin in ten minutes. Please prepare, contestants Xia Feng and Yan Xujia. Failure to arrive at the arena within the stipulated time will automatically be considered a forfeit. The fourth fair duel will begin in ten minutes. Please..."
VIP waiting room in Area S.
Panda, a chubby little boy, stood in front of the French window. He pushed up his reflective glasses, turned around and said, "Remember the limits. Don't really kill him."
The man leaning against the sofa put down his red wine glass, patted his trouser legs, stood up and stretched, and smiled playfully, "Okay, okay, I get it. Isn't it just to torture him until he collapses? This kind of thing is what I am best at."
As he said this, he was about to walk out.
"Wait." A middle-aged man's voice sounded in the corner.
Yan Xujia turned around and said casually, "What's the matter, President Zhao? What can I do for you?"
The middle-aged man was Zhao Jie, the acting president of Liuwei Society.
"Considering our cooperation with Cha Naixue, I would like to remind you that this boy named Xia is not simple." Zhao Jie narrowed his scarred eyes and spoke with a warning tone.
Yan Xujia curled his lips and said, "President Zhao, do you think I'm your useless disciple?"
Zhao Jie frowned slightly. There was indeed a huge difference between what Qi Xiao and Yan Xujia said, but he was a man who crawled out of a pile of corpses. He had killed countless people in his life and developed an ability to judge people beyond ordinary people.
So when Qi Xiao died at the hands of Xia Feng, after being shocked, he thought about it for several days and felt more and more that Xia Feng was not an ordinary person.
However, he had no idea how 'complex' this would be.
"If that's all President Zhao wants to say, then I'll leave first." Yan Xujia smiled faintly, pushed the door open and left.
Zhao Jie's scarred grey eyes were indifferent. As an ally, he had said everything he needed to say. Whether the other party believed him or not was not his concern.
Of course, it was more likely that he was overthinking it, and Xia Feng's "uncomfortable" was only ordinary-level uncomfortable.
"when--"
The competition bell rings clearly.
In the center of the bustling arena, the gates on both sides opened.
One of them was wearing an elegant white priest's robe, and his shoulder-length hair made him look more like an evil and noble gentleman.
The other one was wearing the uniform blue and white uniform of Weiyang College. His messy black hair looked unkempt, and he had dead fish eyes, exuding the aura of a lazy otaku all the time.
But even so, his outstanding appearance still attracted the attention of many people.
"Oh my god, Xia Feng is so handsome!" Some girls' eyes lit up.
"Hiss - this little face~" Some boys' eyes lit up.
Mushroom listened to the discussions of the people around him and tightened his toes. He felt inexplicably embarrassed as if he was watching an acquaintance show off on stage.
However, the people around him soon stopped paying attention to Xia Feng's appearance and started talking about the issue of losing a few seconds.
"I bet he'll lose in thirty seconds. What's your bet?"
"Thirty seconds? Are you kidding? I've carefully studied both sides' records. Xia Feng will definitely be defeated within three moves! So ten seconds at most!"
"Ahem," someone whispered embarrassedly, "Actually, I actually bet ten dollars on Xia Feng to win."
"Tsk tsk. You're really audacious. Let me tell you this, if Xia Feng wins, I'm going to eat shit live!"
Hearing such sarcastic and disdainful words, Mushroom pursed his lips and secretly clenched his fists, muttering in his heart, Humph, another freeloader!
"when--"
The competition bell rang for the second time, and the whole audience fell silent, with everyone looking towards the sky.
