It was obvious that many people were surprised by my question.
"Is this kid going to bet on the contestants from other dojos?"
"I think it's possible. Ai, it's just that this method is too despicable. For the sake of money, he doesn't even care about his pride?"
The people who questioned me weren't only the audience and the other dojos, even the people from the Guo Wei Dojo couldn't hold it in.
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Just now, he said that our inner sect disciples are dogs. It turns out that this guy is the dog, and the shameless kind."
"That's right. If I'm not wrong, he is definitely going to bet on the people from Gyeongbu Hall. Although the odds are only a pitiful one, at least he won't lose anything. We outsiders didn't bet, so he has lost his bottom line!"
I still looked at Young Master Zhang and ignored these voices. He narrowed his eyes slightly, "I guess you are going to bet on yourself!"
"Oh." I was stunned. Oh my god, could it be that Young Master Zhang saw through my intentions?
That's not right. Although I was confident, I didn't show it at all. Could it be that this guy had already seen through everything?!
That was too unbelievable. At least the helmsman of the six dojos didn't notice any clues.
"En." I nodded and admitted it.
This action obviously slapped a lot of people's faces. It turned out that he wasn't betting on the contestants of other dojos. But here came the problem. The starting price was one million. Betting on himself was like throwing money into a fire pit. What was the difference?
"Does this kid have too much money to burn?"
"Most likely his head was kicked by a donkey!"
Young Master Zhang shook his head and sighed. "Sigh, can't you see?
"That's because he doesn't feel it's fair in his heart. The news that an Outer Sect disciple is participating in the competition has attracted a lot of attention. But when it comes to the competition, no one thinks highly of him. That feeling of being ignored must be very uncomfortable, so he decided to put on a show."
"Aha, Young Master Zhang's words are reasonable. He is afraid that he will die here. Participating in the challenge is a matter of life and death."
"That's right. The saddest thing in life is to die without spending all your money."
"How much? Tell me."
Young Master Zhang looked at me with pity in his eyes. Although I had raised a storm in the Nan Yun Province, when I came to the capital, I was destined to be an unremarkable speck of dust. That's right, I was just a speck of dust. Although this kind of saying was a bit of a blow to people's confidence, it was an indisputable fact. Not only in the world of martial artists, but also in other professions. Every year, the number of young people who came to the capital to make a living was as many as the hairs on an ox.
All of them had one thing in common. They all wanted to show off their skills in the capital and establish a foothold there. However, only a few of them actually succeeded. After all, reality was cruel.
It is even more so in the field of martial arts. For a genius like me who has only joined the Guowei Martial Arts Hall for a few days, I rashly participated in the dojo challenge. I really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. As for the outcome, it will only be a flash in the pan.
"Wait a moment, let me think about it."
I was still quite polite. If I didn't guess wrong, this Zhang family should be quite skillful in terms of political power because I couldn't feel any martial artist aura from Young Master Zhang. There were only two situations. First, his attainments in martial arts had reached a height that I could only look up to. Second, he was just an ordinary person.
Obviously, the latter was more likely. In this way, it meant that the Zhang family might not be a true martial arts family, but a family of nobility.
Combined with the previous scene, I could infer a lot of things. There were many things that hearsay was not as good as seeing with one's own eyes. Due to taboo, He Gang didn't tell me too much about it.
Then, I quickly walked towards Grandmaster Chen. "Master, do you want me to lend you some money?"
"Master, how about I help you with ten million? If you win, it's on you, and if you lose, it's on me!" I cupped my hands towards Grandmaster Chen and said with a wink.
"Uh …" Grandmaster Chen was dumbfounded. He had wanted to show his support even if he had to spend a million dollars on it. However, what he had done was like a young gambler leading an old gambler.
Even if he was a little short of money, he couldn't do it like this. It was incompatible with the current situation.
As expected, my words caused a lot of people to laugh and cry.
"Old Chen, your disciple is not bad. He knows how to be considerate."
"Among the six of us old guys, the lowest bet is ten million. Old Chen, we all know about your situation. Just take it. Your disciple has already said it, so there's no need to dilly-dally." "That's right.
Ten million is just for fun. At worst, you can bet on Yang Zecheng. That kid still has a chance of entering the top three. "
To show respect to Young Master Zhang, these helmsmen also joined in. This could be considered as an encouragement to the participating disciples.
However, there was a hint of sarcasm in their words. Grandmaster Chen's financial ability was indeed the weakest. The thickness of his wallet was even less than that of some elite disciples.
I gave Grandmaster Chen a look, but he didn't understand. Logically speaking, I wasn't a person who liked to play to the gallery. On the contrary, I seemed to have an ability that ordinary martial artists couldn't compare to, and that was to show off and slap people in the face without batting an eyelid.
Based on his understanding of me, he didn't think that I would do something so unnecessary as to take off my pants and fart.
Grandmaster Chen made up his mind. Forget it. Just like Young Master Zhang said, I'll take a gamble. A bicycle can become a motorcycle. Dreams are always necessary. What if they come true?
"Okay." Grandmaster Chen agreed directly.
Then, Grandmaster Chen personally said that he would bet the money on me. Regarding this, the crowd didn't understand.
However, there was no lack of praise for me.
"Don't you think so?
This kid really knows how to conduct himself. Grandmaster Chen isn't the kind of person who likes to owe favors. With this ten million, if Zhuang Feng is in danger, Grandmaster Chen won't just stand by and watch! "
Many people suddenly understood. Although life and death were up to fate after entering the arena, the helmsmen of the six great martial arts schools had the power to protect people. After all, those who could participate in the competition weren't ordinary people. If they were beheaded, it would be a great loss to the entire martial arts world.
However, every time they protected someone, it would cost them one thousand points of honor. This amount directly determined the ranking of the martial arts school. Moreover, the top ten participants in the dojo challenge competition could not only bring glory to the martial arts school, but also obtain several hundred to several thousand points.
The martial artists in the arena knew the importance of one thousand points. Not to mention ten million, even a hundred million points would be difficult to measure.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These people were really imaginative. But it was also good. If they saw through my plan to help Grandmaster Chen realize his dream, it would be embarrassing.
