Urban Superpower: Starting From Mastering All Elements - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Quick to Bet, Even Quicker to Win

[Announcement: Newbie! Cloud City’s Xiaoyu started the bet. The bet is 30 million magic coins. There is no limit to the level of challenger. The duel room is room 1892!]

After the announcement, a 3D projection of Xiaoyu slowly appeared.

In the projection, Xiaoyu had her hair tied up in two ponytails and looked like a cute little girl.

Xiaoyu’s information was listed beside the projection.

Cloud City Xiaoyu, Gender: Female, Age: 16, Combat Profession: Mage. No battle record.

After the message was sent, the information Hall suddenly became noisy.

“Are the people in the information management Office all useless? This little loli was 16 years old? I thought she was only 13 or 14!”

Hmph, look at her. One look and you can tell that she’s a young lady from some family looking for excitement.

“A rich fool, a pure newbie. Thirty million magic coins right off the bat.”

“You’re so troublesome. Isn’t money that’s delivered to your door good?”

“After waiting many days, I’ve finally met a fat sheep. No, I have to hurry and register!”

“Hurry, hurry, it’ll be too late if we’re late!”

He saw a group of people running to the betting area.

An Ran, who was wearing a cloak, was almost crazy with beauty.

It was really as she had thought.

This group of people really treated Xiaoyu as a rookie.

“I can’t wait to see them cry!”

There was nothing wrong with what these people were doing.

She could only blame Xiaoyu for revealing such confusing information.

Everyone knew that the world acknowledged the awakening of magical elements at 16.

And this little loli from Cloud City did not look like she was 16.

Even if she was 16, how strong could she be when she had just awakened?

These people had been in the gambling arena all year round.

How could they let go of such a delicious meal before them?

Looking at her own information, especially the high bet of 30 million magic coins, Xiaoyu suddenly became a little worried.

“Sister An Ran, isn’t 30 million magic coins a little too much? What if…”

“Don’t be afraid. I believe in you. Even if you lose, I won’t blame you!”

An Ran rubbed Xiaoyu’s head, looking like she didn’t care at all.

However, she quietly knew that Xiaoyu would not lose in this situation.

Thirty million magic coins seemed like a lot.

But in the eyes of those experts, it was nothing.

Those who were able to participate in the wagered battle were most likely not very strong.

Soon, the two of them entered room 1892.

At this moment, room 1892 was full of people.

This group of people looked at the ten people beside the ring with jealousy in their eyes.

The ten of them were too lucky.

The opportunity to slaughter a fat sheep had actually fallen into the hands of these few fellows.

An Ran had set up a battle mode where a maximum of ten challengers could fight.

When the audience saw Xiaoyu enter the ring, they all looked at her pleadingly.

“Little sister, choose me. I’m not very strong.”

don’t choose him. This guy is a mid-tier E-rank. Choose me. I’m F-rank.

These guys were trying so hard to belittle themselves because they all wanted to be Xiaoyu’s wagers.

Only by breaking out of the encirclement and defeating this little loli would he be able to win 30 million magic coins.

In their eyes, being selected was countless times harder than defeating the little loli.

“Sister An Ran, who do you think I should choose?” Xiaoyu asked in a low voice. “What else to choose? He accepted all of them! I’m out for the bet! Sign the contract with them now!” An Ran said boldly.

But her words caused a stir. “This woman is crazy. She actually asked that little loli to challenge ten people in a row!”

“Hmph, I think she has too much money to burn.”

I’m so envious. I would have been the one on stage if I had been faster.

When the ten people beside the ring heard An Ran’s words, their bodies trembled excitedly. The contract An Ran mentioned was a measure taken by the family of combat to ensure that the duel would proceed normally.

If both parties signed a contract, they would hand in the corresponding amount.

If someone gave up halfway, the system would deduct half of the person’s bet as compensation.

As the ring defender, he didn’t have to hand in all his bets at once.

If the ring defender’s capital was insufficient to pay for all the bets.

Not only would combat house ban the ring defender’s account, but they would also pursue the responsibility through reality and get back the bet.

A series of ten contracts were produced.

The contract came into effect.

“Hurry, hurry, choose your people! Don’t dawdle!”

After the contract was signed, the ten people no longer fawned over him.

They couldn’t wait to win the bet of 30 million.

“Sister An Ran, who do you think we should choose?” Xiaoyu asked for help again.

An Ran casually glanced at it and said disdainfully, “It’s the same no matter who you choose. Just go all out. I believe you!”

“Mm, okay!”

Rainy nodded and pointed at the middle-aged man who spoke the least.

Everyone looked in the direction of the finger and exclaimed.

“This little girl’s luck is too bad. She actually chose the strongest one among these people.

“That’s right, Nie Ming is ranked 498 in the Dou technique ranking.”

“Nie Ming is also ruthless. He won’t show any mercy in battle.

Nie Ming’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

He took the lead and jumped into the ring. He hooked his finger at Xiaoyu and said, “Little girl, come!”

“Go, Xiaoyu! Kill him with a thunderbolt.” An Ran waved her fists at Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu nodded her head and stepped onto the stage.

[Challenge countdown: 3… 2… 1. The wagered fight begins.]

Beep!

The system’s voice had just ended.

In room 1892, a thick lightning bolt struck down on them.

The D-rank lightning spell, lightning strike, was activated.

Nie Ming didn’t put up any defensive measures when the lightning suddenly fell from the sky, and the lightning sliced him into pieces. Everything happened too quickly, and everyone was dumbfounded.

“What happened?”

“Nie Ming was actually killed by a bolt of lightning!”

At that moment, the system’s announcement sounded.

Cloud City’s Xiaoyu wins, and the bet has been transferred to Cloud City Xiaoyu’s account.

Beside the ring, the nine people who were in a state of confusion finally reacted. What did they just see?

A 13 or 14-year-old little girl was actually a powerful mage?

Moreover, he was an expert who had awakened a rare element.

Furthermore, the most powerful single-target spell of the D-rank lightning spell, lightning strike, could be cast as if it was instantaneous.

What was her strength?

This girl had instantly killed the top 500 players of the Eastern City Alliance. And it was an instant kill. This was simply a dream.

Even Nie Ming had been killed in an instant, so how could the nine of them be a match for him?

“You guys, choose who’s next!” The victory boosted Xiaoyu’s confidence. There was a domineering tone in her voice.

The remaining nine people looked at each other.

However, no one dared to take a step forward. Finally, someone spoke. “I quit! I want to go home!”

I’m quitting too. I’m really going bankrupt this time.

The nine of them shed tears and paid half of their wagers.

He had no choice!

Rather than going up and losing 30 million magic coins, it was better to admit defeat. At least, he could still keep half of his money.

In the face of money, dignity was nothing.
