The small-eyed staff member seemed to have realized that he was wrong. The young man in front of him was not stupid. Instead, he was determined to die!

“I wonder what’s going on in his head. How could he have the courage to fight with the weeping corpse bird while being so skinny and small? Boss, don’t doubt me, this guy is called… He’s called Su Chen. I’ll send you his information now. Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems like he’s been studying too much…” Shaking his head as he sent Su Chen off before ridiculing the other party with his boss in the communication channel was the last courtesy of the small-eyed staff member.

On the other end of the phone, the guy who was called boss stroked the thick beard on his face and burst into laughter.

“Tsk, I’ve really been driven crazy by yesterday’s supernatural incident. To think I thought that a piece of trash could win against the weeping corpse bird?” In the contestant registration channel, the blonde thug and his two underlings were laughing wildly.

To think that brat dared to challenge the weeping corpse bird. More importantly, the brat’s eyes had been so determined.

“That guy looked like he could be crushed to death with one hand, and he still dared to challenge the weeping corpse bird? I’m dying of laughter!”

“Did you guys see that? That kid’s face was full of determination and confidence! Ordinary yet confident brats are so young now? Hahaha …”

“No, I have to tell this joke to brother Zhang. Don’t fight with me, I want to be the first one to say it!”

…

After a few obstacles, he finally managed to get a place in the duel with money.

If he had known this would happen, Su Chen would not have talked so much nonsense. He would have just thrown 50000 Yuan at the beginning and gotten it over with.

With the token hanging around his neck, he successfully entered the arena for free.

However, after he entered the arena, he immediately put the token away and ran to the betting area.

There was a huge blackboard in the betting area, and someone was writing down the participants in today’s duels.

All kinds of people surrounded the place, their faces full of excitement.

Even though there was still a full hour before the start of the duels, this did not hinder their enthusiasm.

Every time the staff wrote a name, the topic of conversation among the crowd would change accordingly.

“Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you, the participant named Meng Xin in today’s first match is a guy with a B-grade talent, and his own strength is also at the peak of C-grade!”

“Although his opponent is also a C-grade martial artist, his talent is only at the C-grade as well. So, the first duel is definitely Meng Xin’s win!”

“Oh, so you’re saying that you’re betting on Meng Xin winning the first round?”

…

The noisy discussions circled in Su Chen’s ears.

Many saw Su Chen’s young face and approached him with ill intentions.

“Bro, you’re also here to bet, huh? Seeing how young you are, it won’t be easy to figure out the inner workings of this!” On one side, a man who was half-bald laughed.

On the other side, a fully bald uncle came over with the same fake but wide smile. He smiled at Su Chen and said, “Bro, I’m an expert in this. Why don’t you give me your money and let me help you place a bet? You’ll definitely make money!”

Perhaps it was because of Su Chen’s silence, the number of middle-aged uncles with ill intentions around him increased.

Everyone knew that anyone who could come to the betting area was definitely not poor. Even if one was not a world-famous rich man, one would definitely have quite an income.

Moreover, Su Chen’s young face made everyone think that he was easily deceived.

Therefore, more and more people wanted to devour this delicious “cake”.

“Shut up!” At this moment, a majestic voice rang out, instantly eliminating the buzzing in Su Chen’s ears.

Everyone was either curious or shocked, and all of them turned to look at the source of the voice.

Even Su Chen was affected by the surrounding emotions and became curious about the owner of the voice.

Looking in the direction of the voice, the person stood casually among the crowd, but there was a sense of dignity in the casualness.

He was over 1.9 meters tall, had a well-groomed crew cut, and a dignified expression. His eyes were filled with a murderous intent, making it so that no one was willing to look him in the eye.

“Get lost!”

It was as if there were ten thousand knives hidden in that man’s eyes, and anyone who met his eyes had to retreat.

The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable aura.

The middle-aged men who were almost glued to Su Chen immediately dispersed.

“It’s Young Master Guo! He’s the young master from the Binhai City’s number one family! To think Young Master Guo came to this small arena!”

It was unknown who suddenly recognized and exclaimed the title “Young Master Guo”. The surprised and slightly angered or even puzzled gazes all turned into shocked expressions.

In fact, there was even a trace of respect in their eyes!

It wasn’t because Young Master Guo’s martial artist strength and talent had both reached A grade.

Nor was it because he would inherit the wealth and power of his family in the future. At that time, Young Master Guo would have the ability to turn the heavens upside down, second only to one!

Their respect was because Young Master Guo had a strong personal charm!

He was a man who had the ability to look down on everyone in Binhai City, but he never used his talent or strength to do things.

So far, almost all of the stories about Young Master Guo that were circulating in Binhai City were that he settled matters through his wisdom.

It was precisely because of this that Young Master Guo’s personal charm was infinitely expanded!

At this moment, he was surrounded by five Men in clack. He was wearing a round hat and seemed to be keeping a low profile.

He probably didn’t want to reveal his identity, but for some reason, he had suddenly shouted.

“Young Master Guo has always looked down on this kind of place. Could it be that a martial artist who caught his interest has appeared today?”

“But Young Master Guo is an A-grade martial artist! How could someone who could catch his eye come to this small arena?”

The surrounding discussions started again. The time that had been frozen by Young Master Guo’s “get lost” started to flow again.

However, the gazes that were still on Young Master Guo a moment ago, almost all shifted to Su Chen the next moment.

Who was this young man who looked no older than 18? To think he was able to get Young Master Guo to help him out!

“Binhai City First High? This isn’t a place where you should be. Take the money and go back to school, while it’s still yours,” Young Master Guo’s words answered everyone’s doubts.

It turned out that he had seen the long pants the boy was wearing and deduced that he was a student of Binhai City’s First High.

Young Master Guo had spent half a semester in Binhai City First High in the past.

In that half a semester, he had finished the three years worth of courses. When he had awakened his talent, he had even shocked everyone with his A-grade combat talent.

Su Chen’s face was also filled with surprise. He did not expect to meet the legendary figure in school.

As for the other party’s words, he did not want to listen to them, “Senior, I’m sorry, but I can’t listen to you. I still have things to do.”

Su Chen’s answer surprised everyone around him.

Before him, no one had ever dared to disobey Young Master Guo’s orders.

No, no one even dared to say a word against Young Master Guo!

But now, this youth who was not even 18 years old, dared to refuse to listen to Young Master Guo’s words though he had been helped out by the latter?

This kid really didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!

Su Chen’s words caused Young Master Guo’s emotionless face to have a trace of surprise.

He turned his head and looked at the information on the first duel.

In the next half an hour, Young Master Guo didn’t say another word.

It wasn’t until the staff urged everyone to quickly place their bets, and most of the people had already done so, that Young Master Guo turned his head to Su Chen and said, “In the first duel, although Meng Xin’s talent is B-grade, he is arrogant and conceited. On the other hand, his opponent is very cautious. Hence, Meng Xin will definitely lose!”

Young Master Guo’s analysis made sense, and he even knew the personality of the martial artists, which made everyone around him gasp with amazement.

Those who had bet on Meng Xin’s victory now had looks of regret and disappointment on their faces.

At the same time, they looked at Su Chen with envy.

To be able to obtain Young Master Guo’s help was something that countless people dreamed of!

This student of Binhai First High was so lucky!

At this moment, two martial artists stepped onto the arena.

Su Chen’s ears also received two notifications.

[Ding! Player Meng Xin has reached the arena and paid 7 blood-qi points as toll, as well as the talent Equipment Combat Technique!]

[Ding! Player Tang Anyin has reached the arena and paid 4 blood-qi points as toll, as well as the talent Sonic the Hedgehog’s Run!]

Su Chen focused and under the urging of the staff as well as the envious eyes of others, he bet his remaining 80000 Yuan on Meng Xin!
