Chapter 310: Both of Them Winning the Whole Arena, Bai Zhi Can’t Accept Losing!
“How… how is this possible?”
Bai Zhi couldn’t believe his eyes.
He never expected this outcome. Recently, due to Linlang’s domineering attitude and the Tiger Clan’s extermination, the situation in the Barbarian Realm had become unstable. The various clans were trying to form alliances and test each other’s intentions.
While the Eagle Clan had also risen to the rank of “nobility,” they were still considered newcomers and were relatively weaker compared to the established powerful clans.
Therefore, Bai Zhi had the idea of forming an alliance.
The Fox Clan and Deer Clan were too indifferent, and the Snake Clan was their mortal enemy.
The Lion Clan naturally became the best option for forging a closer relationship. When Xing Ke came to the Beast Arena today, it was at Bai Zhi’s invitation.
Bai Zhi’s intention was to use “intelligence” to let Xing Ke make a profit and naturally draw them closer. Never did he expect that the “Beast King” he chose would actually lose? And not just lose but lose to a lower-class inferior tribe member in the Foundation Establishment realm!
This left his mind in a daze.
The audience was silent.
The spectators looked stunned, as if they couldn’t snap out of it.
The Beast King, dead?
That was the pinnacle Golden Core Roaring Wind Lion! Faced with the siege of numerous fierce beasts, it remained strong until the end, both in strength and intelligence, impeccable in every aspect. Yet, the one who died turned out to be the Lion King?
The golden flames almost instantly burned it to ashes, leaving it with no resistance!
“This can’t be possible, absolutely impossible!”
The Wolf Clan member’s throat felt dry. Just a short while ago, the dog clan youth was nothing but helpless waste, how could they instantly annihilate a peak Golden Core savage beast? Thinking of that terrifying golden flame…
The Wolf Clan member trembled.
If they had acted even more ruthlessly in the beginning, wouldn’t they be the ones dead?
Thud. Just then, the sound of a gong rang.
On the screen above, the number of the savage beast slowly disappeared, leaving only the symbol of the dog clan.
The winner was the dog clan! This completely shocked the audience.
This young member of the dog clan actually won!
The scene immediately caused a huge uproar. “How is this possible!”
“I can’t accept it!”
“A mere Foundation Establishment realm… There must be something fishy!”
“My spirit stones!”
Some cried and cursed their misfortune, while others slumped in their chairs.
Before the competition, seeing how powerful the No.1 savage beast was, many audience members thought it was a sure win and bet all their family’s wealth on it.
But unexpectedly, the situation took a three-fold turn.
In the end, the victor was the most inconspicuous member of the dog clan!
This caused them to lose all their extravagant bets, and not a single spirit stone they had wagered came back to them!
In a private room.
Yu Ren’er widened her beautiful eyes and exclaimed, “Brother Su Shi, did we really win?”
Su Shi put down his teacup and responded, “Seems like we did.”
Yu Ren’er had a surprised reaction. Although she had placed her bet on the young member of the dog clan, she hadn’t really expected him to survive.
The result turned out to be beyond anyone’s expectations. Watching Su Shi’s calm demeanor, Yu Ren’er suddenly realized what had happened. The burning golden flames that subdued the fierce savage beast were no different from the divine fire controlled by Su Shi!
“No wonder Brother Su Shi placed his bet on the dog clan youth, turns out he had foreseen this,” Yu Ren’er transmitted her voice.
Su Shi shook his head, “It was just a coincidence.”
“The divine fire is indeed mine, but I only used it to protect him from being killed by the savage beasts,” Yu Ren’er was taken aback. Thinking back to the scene where the young member of the dog clan was being brutally beaten on the street, “I never expected you to care about the life and death of someone from a dog clan.”
She knew Su Shi wasn’t a bad person, but the dog clan was just an inferior outsider race, and even their own kind treated them with such indifference. It made her question why Su Shi, a completely unrelated human, would care about him.
“At that time, the situation didn’t permit me to take direct action, so I implanted a trace of fire within him. If he encountered a life-threatening situation, it would erupt,” Su Shi explained.
“I don’t care about him, I care about you,” Su Shi said.
“Me?” Yu Ren’er was a bit puzzled.
“Your kind and pure-hearted nature make you turn a blind eye for the sake of protecting him, but I still see your self-blame.”
“It’s also a chance for him to stay alive.”
“I just didn’t expect him to end up thrown into the arena.”
Su Shi smiled and said, “Although this world is dangerous, I still want to do my best to protect your kindness.” Seeing that gentle smile, Yu Ren’er couldn’t help but be amazed.
“Brother…”
If there wasn’t anyone around, she wished she could just burrow into his embrace and completely melt together with him.
“It seems like we won quite a few spirit stones, thanks to Brother Su Shi…” Yu Ren’er blinked her eyes. “The only ones who bet on the dog tribe’s victory were just the two of us. Besides a small portion taken by the arena, the rest of the spirit stones are all ours! Looking at the bets placed today, this is no small amount!”
Su Shi shook his head, “The divine flame I implanted in the dog tribe’s member could only withstand one life-threatening attack. It’s just that guy was clever enough to save this lifesaving opportunity for the last moment.” If it weren’t for the agility of this young dog tribe member, the divine flame would have been triggered by the savage beast at the very beginning, and there would have been no escaping death.
Fortunately, the young dog clan member didn’t give up, and with a stroke of luck, he became the ultimate winner.
Gambling involves winning and losing. This time, Su Shi obviously won the bet.
Su Shi looked towards Bai Zhi with a casual tone, “You made quite a fuss just now. Why are you silent now?” He had already sensed Bai Zhi’s hostility, so there was no need to pretend otherwise.
Yu She lightly chuckled, “Ren’er, your friend has quite a keen eye. I’m impressed… Bai Zhi, aren’t you very confident in that Beast King of yours?” Even though she didn’t win, seeing Bai Zhi lose brought her joy.
Bai Zhi clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and his body trembled slightly. Losing the spirit stones didn’t matter, but losing face was absolutely unacceptable.
Bai Zhi looked at Su Shi with narrowed eyes, “How could this mongrel, which is only in the Foundation Establishment realm, control such powerful flames? Moreover, during the entire match, only the two of you supported him. I have every reason to suspect foul play!”
As soon as he spoke, the room fell silent.
Yu She’s smile faded, and her brows furrowed. “Bai Zhi, if you’re going to make accusations, you need evidence.”
Bai Zhi crossed his arms and sneered, “The Eagel and Lion clans will conduct an investigation on this matter. Whether there was cheating or not, there will be a conclusion soon. But before that, the spirit stones will be temporarily held by the arena. Yu Ren’er, can’t you handle losing?”
Bai Zhi’s words infuriated Yu Ren’er.
“You!”
This person’s audacity was beyond measure!
