3000 Ice Heart Crystals. If Lu Li won, then it would be 15,000 Ice Heart Crystals. This was a large sum.
Even though there were so many people in the hall and the gambling was quite lively, most of them were betting on dozens or hundreds. Few people would bet on thousands of Ice Heart Crystals.
Unless it was a sure win or a loss made them lose their minds.
The one who collected the bets narrowed his eyes. But he must have seen a lot. He returned the Tower of Immortal Demon to Qin Zhan, cupped his fists and said, "I need to ask about this. Please wait a moment."
Qin Zhan nodded. Gan Lin pouted and said, "You are being a bit harsh."
Qin Zhan smiled and replied, "Lu Li will be noticed by the banker if he wins one or two rounds. If so, why don't we make some money while nobody knows about him? Why don't we do something that is sure to win?"
"You are right!"
Gan Lin nodded. Now it was up to the banker to accept the bet.
Lu Li had started the fight inside. The one-eyed man began to attack Lu Li. Lu Li kept stepping back and there was even a trace of panic on his face.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle ~"
The one who placed the bet walked over and said, "Young Master, are you sure you want to bet on that treasure?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li took out the Tower of Immortal Demon. The man took it over and gave Lu Li a jade token with 3000 written on it. He put the Tower away and added, "Young Master, if you want it back in the future, you can come to me anytime. But you will have to pay some interest."
"Okay!"
Qin Zhan waved his hand and looked at Lu Li. Now, all he had to do was wait for the result so he could collect the Ice Heart Crystals.
The fight inside was getting more and more intense. The one-eyed man held an iron rod in his hand and kept stabbing at Lu Li. Every time, there would be a streak of rainbow. The shield inside was under attack and it kept giving out rays of light.
Lu Li was stabbed once. His armor cracked and blood oozed out. Clearly, Lu Li did it on purpose. If he had mobilized the energy in his acupoints to protect himself, this man's attack wouldn't have been able to break his defense.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The one-eyed man's attacks came like a storm. Lu Li dodged to the left and right and dodged in embarrassment.
He was wounded again. His armor was all cracked. He was stabbed for more than a dozen times. It was a miserable sight.
"It's almost done, right?"
His acting was on point. Lu Li noticed that many people were looking at him as if he were a dead man, which meant that he was acting well. Those people all thought that he was not good at fighting.
"Hum ~"
Lu Li secretly let out some Worms of the Void which penetrated into the ground and then sneaked into the One-eyed's body.
With a roar, he took out the Seven-star Saber and released the Slayer Ghost Slash.
A sky-shaking beam of light lit up the sky. Next, the beam of light spun a few times in mid-air before heavily striking the one-eyed man. The one-eyed man's body was blasted away and he slammed heavily into the barrier of light.
"Uh …"
The people outside the arena saw One-eyed Dragon tumbling down, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. His entire body was in so much pain that he was rolling on the ground, unable to resist at all. Immediately, there was an uproar.
Lu Li looked like he was going to die at any moment. How could he injure the One-eyed Warrior with one move?
That killer move did not seem to be particularly powerful, it was just somewhat strange.
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat!"
One-eyed howled. Then he looked at Lu Li and begged, "Lord, please have mercy. Please have mercy."
"Buzzing ~"
More than a dozen Worms of the Void crawled out from the One-eyed Warrior's body, went underground and returned to Lu Li's body.
Now that the One-eyed Warrior had admitted defeat, Lu Li would not kill him. He was delighted. He walked down in strides and sat in a corner to tend to his wounds.
Many people were swearing. Lu Li had unexpectedly won and they had lost a lot of Ice Heart Crystals. What was more, they didn't know how Lu Li won. Only a few dozens of people had a meaningful look in their eyes.
"15,000 Ice Heart Crystals!"
Qin Zhan and Gan Lin were overjoyed. They had been digging for half a month and only got 30 Ice Heart Crystals.
Now, Lu Li went up to fight and they made a bet. They had earned 15,000 Ice Heart Crystals. Now, one of them could leave the Ice Valley at any time.
The person who opened this place was indeed very generous. He immediately delivered the Immortal Demon Tower, and even delivered 15,150 Iceheart Crystals, not a single one less.
"Lu Li!"
Qin Zhan's eyes were burning with passion. He sent a message to Lu Li, "I got 15,000 Ice Heart Crystals. You go and fight another round. I will put the 15,000 Ice Heart Crystals on the line. We will have enough."
"15,000?"
Lu Li was surprised. He replied, "You put the Tower of Immortal Demon on the line?
“
Qin Zhan nodded without a trace. Lu Li secretly admired Qin Zhan's courage.
A young master of a Big Family was different. He was so generous.
"Okay!"
Now that he had 15,000 Ice Heart Crystals, one more round was enough. Lu Li healed his wounds for a while and pretended to stand up. He said to Chief Steward Liu, "Sir, I want to continue the fight."
"Continue?"
Chief Steward Liu had a meaningful look in his eyes. He thought about it for a while and said, "You heal your wounds first. I will arrange for you to fight later."
Chief Steward Liu winked at a black-robed warrior in the field without leaving a trace. That warrior left the field quietly and went into a side chamber.
In the side chamber sat an old man in a luxurious robe. On his back and on his legs, there were two beautiful ladies massaging his shoulders and legs.
The black-robed warrior walked in, cupped his fists and said, "Second Master, something happened."
The old man in a luxurious robe suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "What is it?"
"There are three young men here!"
The black-robed warrior explained, "One of them seems to be at the Second Tribulation Realm. Just now, he went up. His partner put up a treasure as collateral and won 15,000 Ice Heart Crystals.
Now, that man is going to fight again. I think they will have to put down the 15,000 Ice Heart Crystals again. "
"Oh?"
The old man in a luxurious robe stood up and said with interest, "I will go and have a look."
The old man walked to the door of the side chamber. He glanced around and found Lu Li, Qin Zhan, and Gan Lin easily.
He took a few glances and stepped back. He waved his hand and said, "Let him fight, let them fight. Let the wild wolves come up and kill him!"
"Wild wolves …"
The black-robed warrior showed a cruel smile. It seemed that Second Master was angry. Some time ago, they were fooled by Old Man Asura. Now, someone wanted to trick them again?
Did they really think their Ice Heart Crystals were easy to earn?
"What about the odds this time?"
The black-robed warrior was in a difficult position. If the odds were not good, they might suffer a loss this time.
Second Master thought about it and said, "Let the wild wolves wear a mask. On the surface, he is only at the Third Tribulation Realm. People outside will bet on the white-haired young man to win. We can make a fortune. Let's make the odds 1: 1."
"Second Master is so wise!"
The black-robed old man cupped his fists and accepted the order. Second Master's plan was perfect.
Now, everyone knew that Lu Li was pretending to be weak. If another warrior at the initial stage of the Third Tribulation Realm was sent up, they would all bet on Lu Li.
