Long Xiao saw that he had observed enough and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
Ye Tian called the few people aside and said to Su Yan, "This round, you should bet a moderate amount. The Luocha people will win."
Su Yan was a little nervous and asked, "Ye Tian, what's the win rate?"
Ye Tian said lightly, "Don't expect to win every round. We win by probability. If you trust me, go ahead and bet. If not, you decide for yourself."
Su Yan took a deep breath and said, "I trust you!"
Afterward, they came to the third arena. In this arena, there was a Japanese man and a Latin American. The Latin American had excellent flexibility and was a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master. The Japanese man practiced Aikido and was covered in a powerful aura, as if he wanted everyone to know he was a strong fighter.
Ye Tian only watched for a dozen seconds this time before turning away and saying to Lin Ziyi, "Ziyi, the Japanese man has internal injuries, and they are very serious. I just don't know why he's still participating in the gambling matches."
Lin Ziyi: "Tian Ge, then I'll bet on the South American?"
Ye Tian shook his head: "No, bet on the Japanese man."
Lin Ziyi was stunned: "Didn't you say the Japanese man has serious internal injuries?"
Ye Tian: "The Japanese man's injuries are likely caused by forcibly squeezing his potential. Although his internal injuries are serious, once he unleashes his potential, the Latin American will definitely lose."
Lin Ziyi nodded: "Okay, then I'll bet on the Japanese man to win!"
Ye Tian watched all six arenas in the first round. Except for two that he wasn't very confident about, he had over an eighty percent chance of winning the remaining four.
Therefore, Ye Tian chose four matches to bet on. Su Yan bet on one of them. She was very conservative and only bet fifty million. In the inner arena, many people bet tens of millions on his match, and some directly bet hundreds of millions.
In comparison, Lin Ziyi was much more generous. She bet three to five hundred million on all four matches, totaling 2.3 billion. Considering the odds of these matches, if Ye Tian won all of them, he would make over 2.95 billion.
Ten minutes later, the matches started one by one. In the first match, the Luocha man fought the Black man. As soon as they started, the Luocha man firmly took the advantage, suppressing the Black man to only being able to defend. In less than three minutes, the Luocha man suddenly delivered a back kick, hitting the Black man's forehead. The blow was extremely fierce, and the Black man bled from all seven orifices, dying on the spot.
Seeing the Luocha man win, Su Yan couldn't help but regret betting too little. She should have bet a billion!
Lin Ziyi and Ye Tian exchanged a smile, and Long Xiao was also very happy. He had brought ten billion this time and bet a hundred million on this match.
The Black man had not yet died when the match between the Japanese man and the South American began. Just as Ye Tian had predicted, the Japanese man showed weakness everywhere at the start, appearing to be at a disadvantage. However, after ten minutes, when he found an opportunity, he immediately unleashed his potential and defeated the South American in a few moves.
In the remaining two matches, the people Ye Tian chose also won. In this way, in less than twenty minutes, he earned nearly three billion! Of course, this was only the money earned within the venue; the money earned through Wu Zongnian's bets outside was even more!
After the six matches were completed, the second batch of fighters began their battles. This time, Ye Tian selected three people from them and bet on them to win.
There were many buyers inside and outside the venue, and Ye Tian's bet of over a billion was common, so no one paid too much attention to him.
After a total of fifty-four matches, Ye Tian bet on twenty-four of them. His total investment within the venue was 8.5 billion, and his total investment outside the venue was 23.6 billion. He won nineteen of these twenty-four matches. After deducting the five losses, he earned a total of over 38.53 billion.
Of course, Su Yan had come to believe in Ye Tian's judgment, and her subsequent bets gradually increased, with a total investment of over two billion, earning over 2.14 billion.
The results of these fifty-four matches were brutal. Thirty-six people died, and the remaining people, except for two with minor injuries, were all severely injured, some even crippled!
The fifty-four matches took a full two and a half hours. Next, the host announced the start of the passive matches.
The so-called passive matches were decided by votes from gamblers inside and outside the venue, who selected two fighters from the remaining fifty-plus fighters.
Before the passive matches, there was a half-hour break, during which waiters brought drinks and food.
Ye Tian and the other three returned to the private room, which offered more high-end drinks and beverages.
Lin Ziyi took out a bag of sunflower seeds to eat. They were specially stir-fried by Ye Tian using a pill furnace and medicinal herbs, giving them a taste that ordinary sunflower seeds couldn't match.
"Brother Long, how many matches are there in the passive matches?" Lin Ziyi asked.
Long Xiao: "Usually six to eight matches. After the passive matches, there are the challenge matches, which are truly exciting!"
