Chapter 116: Chapter 99: Battle Records Available_3
[Seventh place, Lin Chen, Plowhorn Beast, Low-Level Mortal Body, Level 16, resident of Jiuxing City, rich combat experience, rookie king of the Jiuxing City Monster Hunter Guild, once overpowered two Inner Courtyard experts, suppressing a Level 18 Spirit Beast despite being four levels lower, the pioneer of the cave within a cave concept, and has a Spirit Beast skilled in Combined Skills, awakened Mad Bull Bloodline, seemingly weak on paper, but boasts verifiable battle achievements, odds for the championship: 1:20]
"...."
Lin Chen was speechless, thinking that the casino folks might be spies, knowing everything.
Xiaobai, however, saw the words Mad Bull Bloodline and was displeased at heart.
This Niu Niu has already got it under control, not a Mad Bull anymore.
Cai Yuanji and the others beside him laughed heartily, with Cai Yuanji even saying, "Brother Lin, this is your resume."
Qin Hao and Bai Jiajia laughed even harder.
However, not everyone was that detailed; most only had a simple Spirit Beast introduction, some even as such:
[Ranked 200, Yang Hua, Burning Mountain Bull, Low-Level Spirit Transformation, Level 16, a John Doe contestant, strength unknown, odds 1:100.]
Lin Chen was a bit speechless, thinking the casino was a bit disrespectful by calling someone John Doe.
However, Lin Chen didn’t know that this Yang Hua was his first-round opponent.
The odds for those ranked 200 and below were all 1:100.
"Who’s your bet on?" Cai Yuanji broke the silence, initiating the topic.
Qin Hao immediately said, "I naturally support Brother Lin."
After saying this, he took out five thousand dollars and bet it all on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was touched, and Xiaobai nodded in agreement.
Qin Hao, who had known him for a long time, truly had some loyalty...
But before he could feel touched for three seconds, Qin Hao then told the staff, "Use the remaining fifteen thousand to bet on Li Jiuxiao for me."
"..."
Both man and beast were speechless. After placing his bet, Qin Hao turned to Lin Chen and said, "Brother Lin, you can’t blame me. You know I’m short on money. I’ve already risked five thousand on you."
Qin Hao, in his heart, surely supported Lin Chen; otherwise, he wouldn’t spend five thousand to back him.
"Hypocrite," Cai Yuanji angrily scolded before stepping forward, taking out twenty thousand dollars, and saying, "Twenty thousand, all-in on Li Jiuxiao."
"..." Lin Chen was speechless once again, saying, "You got so little faith in me?"
"If Xiaobai’s third skill awakened to something else, I’d definitely bet on you," Cai Yuanji truthfully replied.
"Looks like you two are blinded by money, not even supporting your own," Bai Jiajia complained. She was the third to place her bet, spending twenty thousand, all on Lin Chen, then turned back to say to him, "Am I loyal enough as the former captain?"
Lin Chen and Xiaobai gave her a thumbs-up.
"Brother Lin, are you betting?" Qin Hao asked.
Lin Chen was indeed planning to bet, pulling out twenty thousand dollars without any hesitation, betting it all on himself.
The Heart of the Ox King was definitely worth a fight for, and he had full confidence in Xiaobai.
After securing the ticket, they were ready to leave, when unexpectedly, the Little Fox tugged at his garment.
"You want to bet too?" Lin Chen was surprised.
"Gu~~"
The Little Fox glanced at Xiaobai, indicating it also wanted to support Xiaobai.
"How much do you want to bet?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.
This Little Fox, who always treasured money, was ready to part with it, even for gambling.
The Little Fox counted with its fingers and eventually let out another "Gu," indicating five hundred.
Lin Chen was surprised. This five hundred was half of the Little Fox’s savings.
"Alright, of this twenty thousand, five hundred is yours," Lin Chen smiled, "When we win, I’ll pay you according to the odds."
Xiaobai also let out a moo, indicating it would do its best and not make the Little Fox lose its money.
"Gu~~"
The Little Fox also chimed in, even though it felt like its heart was bleeding, but it trusted Xiaobai.
Moreover, Xiaobai was its boss, so how could it not support?
The three onlookers watched this scene with envy.
Spirit Beasts are just like people, even if they’ve signed a contract with a Beastmaster, they still need coordination, much like having a first and second child.
Not to mention Lin Chen’s fighting abilities, just looking at the personalities of his two Spirit Beasts, they were truly remarkable.
It’s just...
They both had a bit of a quirk.
...
On the third day, Lin Chen went to watch the opening ceremony, and immediately afterward was the opening match.
Jiang Yue’s match was today. Although Lin Chen wasn’t familiar with her, they had met, so he planned to watch.
Jiang Yue’s opponent was Dasa, and from a combat standpoint, there was a gap.
However, Jiang Yue’s Plowhorn Beast, although not as strong as Lin Chen’s, had significantly improved under Xu Youzhen’s guidance and nurturing.
Unexpectedly, just as Lin Chen and his group arrived, they saw Jiang Yue’s Spirit Beast severely injured on the stage, bleeding profusely.
Jiang Yue was flustered, with medical personnel rushing to the scene.
Dasa stood nearby, petting his Desert Horned Ox, boasting loudly, surveying the entire audience, saying:
"Our Nanfen Ancient Country’s oxen are the world’s number one."
