Chapter 932: Betting Everything

Some matters cannot be changed even if you work hard at it.

Dongfang Shuo understood this clearly in his heart.

Since things have already happened, he could only leave it to fate.

Moreover, he had been working hard to make changes, but he was still stuck in a little city like Martial Mountain City.

Just let things take its course!

He was currently feeling like a cracked pot being thrown out. Nothing mattered anymore, so could it get any worse? He had been suppressed to the furthest and lowest ranked location by Dongfang Xiong, so how could it get worse?

Upon thinking up to this point, Dongfang Shuo smiled and felt relaxed. “What other location can be worse than this?”

So Luo Tian’s entry has been confirmed.

Bai Xuan smiled.

The sect leader of the Spirit Gathering Sect smiled. Wang Li also smiled.

The person who smiled with pure joy was Wu Feng!

He felt elated as he stared at Luo Tian in coldness and said, “Trash, I will make you kneel down and call me daddy in a bit. If you make this daddy happy, I might even spare that dog life of yours, hahaha…”

The crowd also broke into a discussion.

“That kid is really participating? He’s not afraid of death?”

“I thought that I was going to be at the bottom of this competition. With him present, I feel so much better! Hahaha…”

“Since he is someone Elder Bai hates, then we need to disgrace him as much as possible. If Elder Bai is satisfied with our performance, we might even make it into the Bai family. Hahaha… This kid is basically our lucky star!”

Those people watching the show were treating Luo Tian like a joke who doesn’t know how death is spelled. They were waiting to watch him get humiliated on the stage and then end up kneeling in front of Wu Feng and calling him daddy. Just thinking about this scenario made them full of anticipation for the competition.

Some of the disciples in the competition started making their own plans.

They had always wanted to make a good impression in front of Bai Xuan, but had never found a good opportunity. It was good that Luo Tian had appeared. As long as they give Luo Tian a miserable beating, Elder Bai will definitely be happy about it. This was a very good opportunity for them to put on a good show!

The sect leaders of the eleven sects were all contemplating something.

If Luo Tian kneels in front of Wu Feng, he will definitely be stepped on by Wu Feng. If this does happen, Wu Feng’s influence in Martial Mountain City will soar. The Spirit Gathering Sect’s influence will also soar up by association.

They, the other eleven sects, would have become indirect helpers.

Moreover, Bai Xuan will place more emphasis on Wu Feng after the slap, and the Bai family will put in the resources to groom him. This will place all other sects in a disadvantageous position because it was they that tried to cause trouble in this situation.

Upon thinking of these matters, the sect leader of the Four Seas Sect gave the order, “If anyone encounters Luo Tian, kill him directly!”

The sect leader of the Soaring Sky Sect also ordered, “We can’t let Wu Feng match up against Luo Tian, or else Wu Feng’s influence will increase like crazy. You guys need to kill that kid ahead of Wu Feng. That way, the humiliation of him being slapped will not be able to be washed away, and the Spirit Gathering Sect’s influence won’t increase by much.”

“Disciples understand!”

“Don’t worry, sect leader. I may not be able to handle Wu Feng, but I am more than enough for a piece of trash with a shattered dantian.”

“As long as I encounter him, I can finish him off with a single move.”

They didn’t put Luo Tian in their eyes.

To them, Luo Tian was equivalent to a soft persimmon that could be pinched, beaten, and humiliated however they wanted to!

At this time, Luo Tian’s name was written on a slip of paper and placed inside a box.

The judges started discussing the competition matters.

Luo Tian started walking toward the Gambling Pavilion at this moment.

“Kid, you’re not trying to run away, right?”

“You’re finally getting scared? I’m telling you straight up – it’s too late!”

“If you don’t compete today, you will still have to die for me on the stage!”

“Kid, I put a lot of money for you to lose, so please don’t disappoint me.”

Wherever Luo Tian went, there would be people mocking him.

Luo Tian pretended he didn’t hear them.

He went up to the betting window and said, “Can I ask if it’s possible for me to place a bet?”

“Hahaha…”

Just when Luo Tian finished speaking, Ah Si, who wasn’t too far away, started laughing out loud. “You stupid trash, why would you place a bet? Do you think you can live past today?“

“There’s no way he can live past today.”

“If he can live past today, I will rip off my own head for you all.”

“Kid, you can go ahead and lose in peace. It would be even better if you could stick around for a few more matches so that we can win even more. Hahaha…”

Many gamblers around Ah Si started mocking Luo Tian.

Luo Tian pretended not to hear them and waited for the Gambling Pavilion’s worker to respond.

“Of course, you can make a bet. How much do you want to place?”

Luo Tian didn’t reply to the question and asked once more, “Do you accept goods as collateral? I will even take half the market price.”

The girl working for the Gambling Pavilion politely smiled before replying, “My apologies, but we cannot do that.”

“Oh…”

Luo Tian was a little disappointed by the response. If the Gambling Pavilion could accept material goods as collateral, he would be able to bet a little bigger. He then took out all his xuan coins from his pocket, a total of 160, and handed them over. “I’ll bet all of this on myself winning.”

The girl had a stunned expression and momentarily couldn’t react. “You’re betting on who?”

Luo Tian replied, “On myself, Luo Tian!”

The girl’s eyes clearly revealed her shock as she suddenly became a bit excited. “Are you sure you want to bet on yourself?”

This was the first time someone had bet on Luo Tian winning.

Even though he was betting it on himself, she was still a bit excited by it.

Luo Tian nodded, “I’m sure!”

The young girl worker immediately issued Luo Tian a receipt like she was afraid he would regret it and change his mind.

Luo Tian didn’t take it and said, “I want to bet on myself winning all matches.”

The girl worker froze for a second before saying, “I will immediately change it for you.”

After making sure the changes were correct, Luo Tian put away the ticket receipt.

All the people behind him were dumbstruck.

They stared at Luo Tian like idiots, thinking Luo Tian was the ultimate idiot.

Ah Si suddenly started laughing once more while pointing at Luo Tian’s nose. “Hahaha… He actually bet on himself winning all the rounds! Shit must have entered his brain! Hahaha… Kid, can you even survive the first round? Yet you bet on yourself winning all the rounds? Are you not afraid that people will laugh so hard that they laugh their teeth off?”

“Hahaha…”

“Hahaha… this is so funny! So many xuan coins were wasted just like that!”

Luo Tian was too lazy to look at the others. He only glanced at Ah Si, and his mouth curved into a cold smile.

The moment Luo Tian turned around, the steward of the Gambling Pavilion reported to Dongfang Shuo about what had just happened. “Young master, should we let him pledge the goods he has in possession? Maybe the kid really has something good on him, which will allow us to reduce our losses.”

Dongfang Shuo looked at the ground floor of the building and noticed Luo Tian had a calm look on his face. He couldn’t figure out what Luo Tian was thinking, so he waved his hand, “Don’t do it. It looks like this kid isn’t as simple as he looks.”

The old man sighed in pity, “I understand.”

At this time, a referee got onto the stage and shouted, “The Newcomers Competition begins now!”
