Chapter 17: Fighting Beasts
Things had twists and turns, tragically mocked by two families, Dan Bao Ge mysteriously made a move, attracting Xue Yu's intimidation, every step was thrilling and exciting.
All of this is because of one person, Liu Wu Xie!
Xue Yu's hand, in everyone's view, can finally settle the dust, the huge Xue family, crushed the Xu family as a mole cricket.
In the nick of time, Xu Lingxue stood up and took out a token in her hand, slapping it hard on the table.
A nine-legged bird was carved on the token, symbolizing the Imperial Academy, which no one could imitate.
"She's been accepted into the Imperial Academy, and she's also been accepted as a disciple by Baili Qing."
The crowd exploded, the Imperial Academy was the highest school in the Great Yan Dynasty, bringing together the elite geniuses of the country, the number of spots for admission each year was extremely limited, there were still a few months left before the Imperial Academy's admission, where did her token come from?
Baili Qing's great name had long been spread throughout the entire Great Yan Dynasty, she was one of the three Vice Presidents of the Imperial Academy, becoming her disciple would surely level the playing field and become a giant on one side.
Joining the Imperial Academy was a lifelong honor, a goal that countless people would pursue for the rest of their lives.
A trace of consternation flashed across Liu Wu Xie's face, even he wasn't sure when Xu Ling Xue had joined the Imperial Academy.
Sharp breathing sounds came from the four directions, how they wished that they could also become a member of the Imperial Academy, the perverted examination every year, brushing down countless geniuses, they only recruited the elite of the elite, not the waste.
"So you're the newly recruited disciple of Dean Baili Qing."
The expression on Xue Yu's face changed from shock, to surprise, the Imperial Capital City had long spread the news that Baili Qing had recruited a new disciple, and had never known who this person was.
Not going through an examination and being accepted as a disciple by the Vice President in advance, this kind of thing hadn't never happened before, and none of them were demonic geniuses who were issued Imperial Academy tokens in advance.
Baili Qing was extremely proud, there were not many people who could be taken in by her, and Xu Lingxue was one of them.
"It was me who was reckless just now, please don't mind Miss Xu, it just so happens that I have also been admitted to the Imperial Academy, in the future, we will be classmates, I will make amends to Miss Xu for what happened today."
Xue Yu's attitude changed very quickly, and from her bosom, she also took out an Imperial Academy token, exactly the same as the one Xu Lingxue took out.
After arriving at the Imperial Academy, there were plenty of ways to get close to Xu Lingxue, were they still afraid of not having a chance.
Wan Difference and Tian Ye Quan and the others, like eating a rotten duck egg, the expression on their faces, extremely ugly, their hatred for Liu Wu Xie became even more intense.
A farce that ended up in such a way was not expected by anyone, including Master Huo, who looked at Xu Lingxue with more than a hint of awe.
The disciples of the Wan family as well as the Tian family, each took their seats and returned to the area that belonged to them, but it was the little fatso of the Song family who sat next to Liu Wu Xie with a big grin.
"Thank you for being righteous just now."
Liu Wu Xie smiled faintly, the little fatty was able to stand up for himself, which surprised him, such a person was worth befriending.
"It's not like I helped much, it's still Sister Xu who is great, become a cadet of the Imperial Academy, when you take off in the future, remember me as your younger brother."
Song Ling had a look of being a self acquaintance and quickly mingled with the two of them.
The Xu family was relatively closer to the Song family, Xu Lingxue had met with Song Ling a few times, and the two of them had always referred to each other as siblings.
A beast roar interrupted everyone, coming from the center of the arena, the beast fight had begun.
"Mr. Liu, sit with us, the sight line is better over there."
Grandmaster Huo walks back, he sits close to Xue Yu, three tables set up individually, Xue Yu and Tian Ye Quan a few people, talking in low voices, occasionally glancing this way.
"No need, it's fine for me to sit here."
Liu Wu Xie did not get up, today's Hundred Demons Meeting did not interest him much.
At the last moment, the Wan family head, as well as the Pine family as well as the Tian family heads joined together and sat at the table next to Grandmaster Huo, all three tables filled.
The fighting arena was like a huge cage, the spectators sat around, overlooking the ground as a fighting ring was presented before them.
In the middle ring, stood an old man, holding a megaphone in his hand, "Welcome to the Hundred Demons Meeting organized by our Wan Family, as usual, the Hundred Demons Meeting has two segments, Beast Fighting, and Beast Taming."
Beast Fighting, as the name suggests, put two demonic beasts into the ring, fight each other, and the party that survives is the winner.
Demonic beast killing was extremely bloody, for martial artists, the bloody scenes could improve their mental quality, and when faced with such a situation in the future, they would not be scared to death alive.
Beast taming is different, through the form of challenge, taming demonic beasts, or subduing demonic beasts, to achieve the effect of training.
The four great families, the Wan family, were the richest, and the business of the beast taming farm was very hot, and they provided all kinds of demonic beasts for martial artists to practice.
Entering the mountain range to hunt and kill demonic beasts is too dangerous, and you may lose your life in it.
Beast taming farm is different, not only can simulate the real environment, the beasts are also 100% real, once there is danger, the tamer will be the first time to appear.
Of course, there are exceptions, the demonic beasts are crazy and eat the tamer.
In comparison, the danger of the Beast Taming Arena had been minimized, and it was normal that business was booming.
"We will arrange ten beast fights to supply everyone to enjoy, as usual, we will set up some small handicaps, those who are willing to participate in betting on the beasts, on each of your tables, there are detailed descriptions, those who are not willing to participate in betting on the beasts, we will not force ourselves, it's good for everyone to have a good time."
The Hundred Demons Meeting is a propaganda meeting, let more people understand beast taming, understand beast fighting, so as to participate in it, the Wan family earns a lot of money.
Turn over the booklet placed on the table, it is written in detail, the beast fight a total of ten games, the first arrangement of demonic beasts, respectively, is the extreme wind leopard against the rhinoceros beast, one is good at attacking, one is good at defending, the competition of spear and shield.
Handicapping odds, wind leopard win one to one, rhinoceros beast odds as high as one to ten.
From the handicap, the Extreme Wind Leopard's chances of winning were high, almost a nail in the coffin, but there were exceptions to everything.
"Mr. Liu, are you interested in betting."
Wan Differently suddenly spoke, smilingly looking towards Liu Wu Xie, inviting him to bet on the beast together.
There were two types of bets, one with the handicapper, and one they bet privately without any relationship with the Wan family.
"Let's not make things difficult for Mr. Liu, can he get any gold coins on him."
Tian Ye Quan wore a mocking color, the current situation of the Liu family was well known, the Arms Workshop was in trouble, the funds were stretched to the limit, and he couldn't get any extra gold coins out.
The two of them were singing in unison, not agreeing to gamble with them was tantamount to tacitly admitting that there were no gold coins on their bodies and they didn't dare to gamble with them.
Agreeing to bet with them and falling into their trap was indeed a good plan.
The gazes of the crowd fell on Liu Wu Xie, waiting for his answer, to gamble or not to gamble.
"How do you guys want to bet?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wu Xie's mouth, this answer, out of everyone's expectation, everyone knew very well that the two of them, Wan Differently and Tian Ye Quan, were using a provocative method to force Liu Wu Xie to agree.
If you choose to refuse, you will at most be mocked, and the matter will be closed, the two of them don't expect Liu Wu Xie to really participate, and use this opportunity to mock him a bit.
"It's no fun to bet with the handicapper, how about a few of us bet privately, it's more direct."
The handicap's odds were too low, it wasn't much fun to gamble, betting on the beast privately, the bets were up to them.
"Not a bad suggestion."
Liu Wu Xie nodded, thinking that what Tian Ye Quan said made sense, betting on the beasts privately was more convenient and more intuitively exciting.
Xu Lingxue's foot stepped hard on Liu WuXi's instep, painfully causing him to suck in cool air, but pretended as if nothing had happened, in a reminder that this was a trap, and you're still drilling into it.
Furious, Xu Lingxue puffed up her cheeks and stopped ignoring him.
"I wonder how much principal Mr. Liu can take out?"
Wan Differently asked with a smile, his tone containing a hint of sarcasm, as if telling you not to bring it out to disgrace yourself if you only have a few thousand gold coins.
"I didn't bring any money with me when I went out today."
Liu Wu Xie shrugged his shoulders, he was telling the truth, he didn't have a single gold coin on him, and the last time he purchased a spirit medicine, it was still the Dan Bao Pavilion that gave him an advance.
"Puff!"
A burst of laughter came from all around, amused by him, without money what are you betting on.
"Mr. Liu is really a dragon and phoenix among men, let me admire and admire, if Mr. Liu needs it, I can lend you some."
Wan Differently with a sneer on his face, took out a bunch of cards, more than ten thousand gold coins, it is inconvenient to carry, in order to facilitate the exchange, the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty created such things as cards, the white card can store ten thousand to one hundred thousand gold coins, the green can store one hundred thousand to one million gold coins, the card is branded with the owner's soul imprint, other people can't pretend to use it.
"I'll take out Lord Liu's bet for him." At this time, Grandmaster Huo stood up, "This is half a million gold coins, Prince Liu can use it as he pleases, there's no need to pay it back, if it's not enough, I can have someone keep sending it over."
The Wan, Tian, and Song family heads reveal a trace of dismay, what's happening?
Half a million gold coins, sending it out casually, how many people couldn't earn so many gold coins in their entire life, Xu Lingxue's small mouth slightly opened as she looked at Liu Wu Xie with a surprised expression.
Liu Wu Xie didn't have the slightest intention of being grateful and naturally accepted the card, this scene made the three great masters look at each other and shivered, could it be that Master Huo had colluded with this loser?
"I already have my bet, where are your bets?"
It's Liu Wu Xie's turn to taunt them, Wan Difference can't get half a million gold coins out at once, his gaze looking towards the family master.
Immediately, someone sent a few cards, which amounted to more than a million gold coins, in their opinion, Liu Wu Xie was bound to lose.
While talking, there were already two more demonic beasts in the ring, the Extreme Wind Leopard and the Rhinoceros Beast.
"I bet half a million gold coins on the Extreme Wind Leopard to win!"
Wan Differently placed his bet first, a hint of an evil smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, causing a good number of people in the room to make contemptuous noises.
"Wan Differently, you're so shameless, you're the host, you should give the initiative to the guests, what do you mean by betting first."
Little Fatty popped up again, unable to look at Wan Differently's approach, clearly pitting Liu Wu Xie.
