322 – Raising the Stakes
TL : GoldenLung

Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly: “Senior sister, if you let us win, we can give to your team all the 50,000 Douluo coins we have won. This is an amount that can be exchanged for 50 white emblems. What do you think? We just want to keep our initial capital.”

Tang Yuge’s eyes moved slightly, smiled and said, “Isn’t this junior brother quite sincere ? However, this is not very good. After all, I can’t disappoint my fans. What do you think of this way, we can have the best of both worlds.”

Lan Xuanyu was ready to be ripped off by her. After all, he concealed the actual bet amount. After all, who would have thought that they would bet an amount as huge as 240,000 Douluo coins ?

“Sister, please tell us.”

Tang Yuge said: “There is a rule in the Great Arena Soul. If both parties agree, we can raise the stakes. Let’s do it like this, to be honest, on our side we have three five-ring and two four- ring, all one-word Battle Armor Masters. You definitely don’t have a chance. But, isn’t Yuanen Huihui also a five-rings ? With him, if we don’t use our Battle Armor, maybe you still have a slight chance. Let’s double the stakes, and then our Sunshine After Rain Squadron is forbidden to use our Battle Armor. This way, I’ve given you a chance without hurting our fans. As for whether you can win against us without Battle Armor, it will depend on your abilities.”

“Tang Yuge, don’t go too far!” Yuanen Huihui said indignantly.

Tang Yuge snorted coldly, “Too far ? When your father bullied my mother, why did nobody say that to him ? Let me ask you, do you dare to accept this bet.”

“Big Brother Xuanyu, promise her. No matter what the cost is, I must beat her.” Yuanen Huihui’s eyes were a little red, and a peculiar light faintly flickered between his two different colored eyes. The way the look in his eyes became instantly colder made Lan Xuanyu’s heart shudder.

 

 

Lan Xuanyu said solemnly: “But we don’t have enough coins to double bet, how can we raise the stakes ?”

Tang Yuge smiled slightly, “It’s okay. You can owe us first. You can sign the IOU, I Own You document, under the fair jurisdiction of the Great Soul Arena. I am not afraid of you cheating.”

Lan Xuanyu turned to look at his three other partners.

Lan Mengqin couldn’t help but said: “She is too arrogant, sign the document. I don’t believe we can’t win. Isn’t that just three five-ring and two four-ring ?”

Dong Qianqiu’s frowned brows relaxed at this moment, she took a deep look at Lan Xuanyu and said, “I can.”

Liu Feng clenched his fist tightly. Among the five, he was the weakest. He couldn’t say anything with confidence, but at this moment, a feeling that was suppressed in his heart seemed about to explode. He kept crying deep in his heart, I want to become stronger!

After feeling the atmosphere surrounding his partners, Lan Xuanyu smiled and looked at Tang Yuge, “Okay, we agree. Let’s sign the contract. Whoever loses, the other party’s bet doubles, and that party has to pay that amount to the winner.”

Tang Yuge glanced at him in surprise, and said while all smiles : “Okay, deal.” She had absolute confidence in her strength and her partners’.

For her, winning one hundred thousand Douluo coins was not important, what was important was to humiliate Yuanen Huihui.

Her four teammates standing behind her all had different looks in their eyes, they had never seen their class leader acting like this ! The usual Tang Yuge was not like this.

The whole procedure was very simple, a piece of paper, signed by both parties. It took effect immediately and was registered by the system.

Both sides stepped back and moved apart.

Yuanen Huihui suddenly came to Lan Xuanyu’s side, wrapped an arm around his neck, and whispered something in his ear.

Lan Xuanyu was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him with some doubts, “Are you sure you’ll be fine ?”

Yuanen Huihui shook his head, there was a strange light flickering in his eyes.

“Okay.” Lan Xuanyu nodded vigorously.

They also couldn’t afford to lose this game. Their only chance was from the fact that their opponents were not familiar with them. In this battle, the most critical people were not the strongest Yuanen Huihui and Lan Mengqin but in fact Lan Xuanyu. His assistance would play the greatest role in this battle.

Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, calming himself as much as possible. He narrowed his eyes slightly, adjusting his state.

At this time, the news of the stakes raising from both sides had already spread throughout the audience. But all the noise around them was swept away thanks to the system’s isolation. They would fight in an absolutely quiet environment to avoid being influenced by the audience’s cheering. This was the Great Soul Arena’s fairness.

Lan Xuanyu’s team of five stood still, with Dong Qianqiu and Yuanen Huihui in front, Lan Xuanyu in the center, Lan Mengqin and Liu Feng at the back.

A showdown of strength !

Both Lan Mengqin and Yuanen Huihui had a combat power equivalent to a five-ring. While Dong Qianqiu was a three-ring, she could rival against a four-ring.

As for the rest, Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng, under the circumstances where their opponent didn’t use their Battle Armor, they were not without a chance.

What did it mean to double the bet ? It means that their original bet of 240,000 would become 480,000. If they could win, they were going to get a payment of 480,000 coins !

When signing the contract, Lan Xuanyu obviously felt that Tang Yuge’s mindset was not particularly stable, so when he signed the contract he didn’t specify the amount. Tang Yuge didn’t care too much, after all, there was the system’s confirmation. Therefore, she actually didn’t know that if she were to lose this battle, the system would pay Lan Xuanyu and the others 240,000, but they would have to pay an extra 480,000 coins because of the bet.

High risks, high rewards. Risk everything, millionaires or beggars…

This was Lan Xuanyu’s current mentality. Moreover, he also enjoyed this feeling. It was precisely because of the pressure brought by his opponents that he could stimulate more his potential and accelerate the speed at which he was digesting the gains from his previous cultivation in the Sea God Lake.

“Match start.”

With the electronic sound signaling the start, the battle between the first and third years of Shrek Academy’s Outer Court fully unfolded.

 

 

In fact, Tang Yuge’s previous mocking was incorrect. At the time when she was a freshman, or among the many previous batches of freshmen, four-ring was already the strongest, and five-ring was a concept that simply did not exist.

However, Lan Xuanyu’s batch this year had the outlier Yuanen Huihui, and the same helt true for Lan Mengqin, Twin Martial Soul four-ring soul master.

Within the academy, the evaluation of this year’s freshmen was actually quite high.

Tang Yuge and others, who had just become third years, only had three five-ring and two four-ring. That was because manufacturing Battle Armors took up a lot of their time, and they also needed time to solidify their foundations. In today’s modern society, the strength of a soul master was no longer just evaluated by soul power, comprehensive strength was a very important aspect. Tactics, mecha, Battle Armor, and actual combat experience, these external factors all determined the overall strength.

Therefore, Tang Yuge absolutely did not think that opponents who had just entered the academy, and with some being two-ring soul masters, could pose any threat to them. Therefore, when she heard that the other party was really willing to accept her challenge, her heart was full of disdain.

Soul rings rose on all ten soul masters from both sides at the same time. Tang Yuge did not lie. On her side, including her, the three people standing in front had five soul rings on their bodies, and the two behind them had four rings. Their respective Martial Soul also displayed different changes.

The most noticeable thing was Tang Yuge herself. Girl developed early and although she was only two years older than Lan Xuanyu and the others, she seemed to be half a head taller. Her long hair was originally black, but along with the release of her Martial Soul, five strands of hair on her left long hair changed color. There were five colors: cyan, red, yellow, gold, and blue. It looked very dazzling. At the same time, her delicate body also seemed to grow a little bit. She was originally only about 1.6 meters tall but now, she was more than 1.75 meters tall, with a slender body, long legs and a slim waist.

Even in her eyes a mysterious color flickered faintly. Her five soul rings were two purple and three black. A stronger soul ring combination than Yuanen Huihui.
